Chapter 164

After growing up in the previous life, Wu Tao often couldn't figure out where the taste of the year he had most yearned for had gone.

After experiencing it again, he discovered that the lack of traditional customs from childhood to the end of the year is a very important factor.

Without the gradual relaxation and brewing during this period of time, it is difficult to bring up the inexplicable emotions in my heart.

Without emotion, it is like a string that has not been plucked, and naturally it is difficult to resonate.

In addition, another important reason is the simplification and downplaying of the ancestor worship ceremony.

Without comforting the ancestors, it is difficult for people to arouse their inner belonging and gratitude, so facing the mood of this new year, there is also a lack of anticipation and cherishment.

Fortunately, now he still has the honor to relive all this.

Today's ancestor worship, due to the return of the Shi family brothers for the first time, is divided into two parts.

One is to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors of the uncle and his family. After returning from wandering for many years, he prays for the approval of the ancestors.

The second is the routine reception and worship on New Year's Eve, which is the same as other ordinary people. It's just that this year's ceremony is more grand.

The old customs, the content is complicated, and the etiquette is complicated. Especially the treatment of the ancestors is even more sloppy.

The task of presiding over the ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan naturally fell to the respected old man.

The old man Wu Ruichun put on a grand Chinese tunic suit, with a serious expression, not angry but mighty.

Compared with the long history of the Wu family tree, the ancestors of the Shi family can only be traced back to three generations.

However, after the Shi family brothers went to Baodao, the ancestral mausoleum was once abandoned, and even suffered blows and destruction.

Later, with the hard work of my aunt and grandma, it took a lot of effort to find it back.

When the convoy arrived at the Shijiazu Mausoleum, it was already daylight.

The weather is gloomy, revealing a cool taste. However, Shijiazu Mausoleum is located in this vast and sparsely populated wheat field, and it looks more and more withered and desolate.

If it weren't for the only tombstone still standing upright in the wind, people might think that this small tomb is an unnamed solitary tomb.

This tombstone was erected by the old man at a cost, so the Uncle Biao's family respected the old man even more.

The old man took the lead, stepping on the soft soil, stepping deep and shallow, and shouted sadly and resonantly: "Brother Shi, the children are here to see you!"

As soon as the words fell, the Shi family brothers couldn't help crying. They looked so sad, like a child returning home.

Fifty years of wandering back, the living can still feel gratified, but the dead can never be chased.

Suddenly, sporadic snowflakes floated in the cold world.

The old man took out the congratulations that he had already written, and read aloud with affection, as if he wanted the world to hear it.

The two brothers of the Shi family, with their children and grandchildren, knelt before the mausoleum, earnestly performing this complicated ceremony.

With a devout heart, comfort the ancestors and pray for their approval.

Originally, Wu Tao was not too interested in these red tapes, but now he was standing quietly between the heaven and the earth, but he couldn't help being dignified and moved.

When the ceremony was over, the snowflakes became bigger and thicker.

In the vast wheat field, there is a thin layer of white clothes, as if the world is moved by it.

On the car back, Shi Qianxue, who was always cheerful, was also extremely heavy, leaning on Wu Tao's shoulder, sighing, and murmured: "Grandpa and grandpa are so pitiful, they have been lying there alone for so many years, and I It’s the first time I’ve seen them since they’re so old.”

"You just come back to see them often in the future." Wu Tao said in relief.

When the convoy returned to the Ancestral Mausoleum of the Wu Family, Snowflakes suddenly stopped.

Over the years, the Wu family's ancestral mausoleum has been located in a ten-acre vineyard, with constant incense and sweeping sacrifices.

If the Shi family's ancestor recognition ceremony was bleak and sentimental, then the Wu family's ancestor worship ceremony was full of glory and attention.

Headed by the old man, the eldest aunt, the second grandfather, and the remaining older generations of the remaining aunts and grandchildren, all the children and grandchildren came.

The team was huge and majestic, which aroused a hot onlooker from the villagers in the village.

"Now the old Wu family is finally making a comeback. Look at this situation, who in our village can match it?"

"Back then, the Wu family was the head of the Eight Great Families in Liyuan Village. It was incomparable in the past, and it is even more incomparable now."

"Thanks to Wu Binghua who gave birth to a good son, who honored the lintel, the clansmen of other clans have also come here..."

"Look, there's a car coming over there!"

"It seems to be the convoy of the city government. Gao Jinda and the village chief Lao Ding run like a slugger."

"Look, look, there is another convoy coming, the license plate is from the municipal party committee..."

"Oh my god, this old Wu's house is smoking from the ancestral grave, and even officials from the municipal party committee and government have come here!"

"In my opinion, what really made the Wu family's ancestral grave smoke is that there is a junior like Wu Tao!"

"makes sense!"

Wu Tao never expected the appearance of both An Dinguo and Liu Quanyou.

Originally, I came to worship my ancestors to celebrate the New Year, so what's the matter with your government?

This is also a stick, is it a little too long?

But as the saying goes, reach out and don't hit a smiling face. Just bow to others three times in front of the ancestral mausoleum, and I have to be polite to others.

Fortunately, neither Andinguo nor Liu Quanyou said anything about attracting investment.

When the person arrives, the task is done, and the attitude is established.

After a brief exchange, the two convoys left one after another.

It’s really coming and going in a hurry.

After a worship ceremony, only the old man and the second grandfather can take the ancestors home for the New Year.

The snowflakes started to fall again, and when they returned home from the mausoleum, everyone felt relaxed.

Perhaps it is because of the memory that we can feel cherished.

The snow fell harder and harder, and a thick quilt was soon spread in the wheat field. When I got home, the world was covered in silver.

Xiao Jiang pulled Shi Ziheng, went to Heidan next door, and had a snowball fight in the snow.

There was a strong smell of wine and vegetables in the yard, and when I got into the kitchen, I found that the table was covered with a variety of dishes.

"Mom, in the past Chinese New Year, our family has never been so rich?" Wu Tao said with a smile while grabbing a handful of peanuts.

"Son, it's thanks to you!" Zhang Huilan said with a smile.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Isn't it my duty to let you live a good life?"

Just as she was talking, Shi Qianxue's voice came, "Snow is so beautiful! Cousin, come out and take pictures for us!"

It's the second cousin who has never seen the world again, making a fuss.

Zhang Huilan waved her hand kindly and said: "Go, your cousin and the others have never seen snow in Taipei. After playing this game, it's time for the New Year's Eve dinner."

Wu Tao folded his hands in his sleeves, took out his camera from the house, and walked shyly to the vineyard.

At this moment, Shi Qianmei is also like a girl who has not left the court, playing in the snow with her younger sister Shi Qianxue.

Just as Wu Tao stood firm, a snowball hit his face unexpectedly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a chill on the neck, and a snowball rolled down the spine, which was sour...

"Shi Qianxue, Wu Jiang, you wait!!!"

Wu Tao's roar, accompanied by Shi Qianxue's giggling and Xiao Jiang's triumphant laughter, drifted in the vineyard...

Second update.
