Chapter 571: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
The next day, the sky was still pitch black. The whole Changlin Village seemed to wake up suddenly, and the lights of each house were lit, and then they went to the ancestral hall in the center of the village with torches or lamps.
The ancestral hall of the Changlin clan has been renovated and has been turned into an ancient building with red walls and blue tiles, and has become a landmark building in Changlin Village because it is taller than other buildings in the village.
Earlier, Monkey Si had already led some strong men to slaughter pigs and sheep, and at this time he was waiting outside the door carrying these large sacrifices. In this freezing weather, prepare for the New Year's burning.
"The hour has come!"
The old patriarch handed the burning incense to Lin Haoran and said with a solemn expression.
Lin Haoran was wearing a five-grade official robe, and took the two sticks of incense as thick as fingers with both hands, his face looked solemn, and his eyes fell on the open door, and he walked inside.
The ancestral hall of the Changlin clan looks ordinary, just a house to enter, through this courtyard called "patio", the main hall is the spirit card of the ancestor of the Changlin clan and many ancestors.
Changlin Village originally belonged to the land of the Baiyue people, and the Changlin clan was a Han immigrant from Fujian. After so many generations of development, it has not only taken root in Changlin Village, but also spread many clansmen in various places.
But poverty has left this clan to fend for itself, and it is about to fall apart, leaving behind this dispensable Changlin Clan's chrome seal, and everything has changed because of one person.
Lin Haoran, a son of the Changlin clan, was born, which not only brought wealth to Changlin Village, but also brought great glory to this surname.
Nowadays, not only Changlin Village is hugged, but many scattered clansmen have returned. The old patriarch has already begun to recompile the "Changlin Genealogy", and the males in the clan will be compiled into the genealogy, so that the Changlin clan can be truly established.
As for Lin Haoran, it will be deeply chromium in the Changlin family. Even if it is thousands of years later, it will still become the glory of the Changlin clan, and it will be mentioned repeatedly.
The incense burner was cast of bronze and had no incense on it, but it was covered with ashes.
Lin Haoran firmly inserted the three incense sticks in the incense burner, and then under the instructions of the old patriarch, he paid homage to these spirit tablets. Since he was in the capital last year, this was the first time he had participated in such a grand ceremony.
Compared with the ceremony when he took office, this time it was much simpler, but it was a bow and bow.
"Come in, everybody!"
After Lin Haoran's ceremony was completed, the old patriarch said lightly to the clansmen waiting outside.
As soon as these words fell, the clansmen holding the three pillars of incense poured in like a tide. Although they did not quarrel, they did not give an inch, and they all wanted to put incense on the incense burner as soon as possible.
Lin Dabiao and Lin Dahu had a clear advantage, and they were firmly squeezed in front of the crowd by relying on their figures. Ah Niu, an honest man, suffered a loss, although he was very strong, he was squeezed behind.
Looking at the crowd of people who rushed to grab the incense, Lin Haoran was lucky. If he wants to compete with these people in his shape, he must be squeezed into scum.
After burning incense and paper, firecrackers outside rang out again, and strings of fireworks flew into the milky white sky to the east, making this remote mountain village a focal point.
A firework explodes in the sky, and sparks flash in the sky, heralding a kind of prosperity.
No matter what happened before, in this new year, the Changlin clan will definitely go to the next level and become a famous big family in the entire western Guangdong and even the entire Guangdong region.
"Wishing you prosperity!"
"All wishes come true!"
"All the best!"
……
After the ceremony, everyone congratulated each other, and the atmosphere seemed very festive. Being able to carry out such a grand ceremony really made them all feel glorious on their faces, and they were proud of the Changlin clan.
After Lin Haoran greeted the people he knew, he went home with the old patriarch's family. Seeing Lin Dahu following behind with low eyebrows, he knew that the old patriarch had forgiven him, and everything was as expected.
"Tiger girl! Tiger girl! ”
When I walked to the door of my yard, I saw a few children probing outside the yard gate, whispering the name of the tiger girl. Just when they saw him suddenly appear, the children scattered in a hurry, as if they were afraid of him.
"Wait!"
Lin Haoran was very surprised to hear the voice of the tiger girl coming from the house, the tiger girl played until midnight after the fireworks came back to sleep, I thought that this wild girl was going to sleep in the sun, but she had already gotten up so early.
The tiger girl was wearing a new dress, her hair had been combed, and she was sitting obediently in the hall eating porridge.
Although she grew a year old overnight, her body did not change, and she still looked like a fleshy body. The whole person seemed to be energetic, sitting on the stool and shaking his feet to eat porridge, and when he saw him come in, he greeted him: "Brother, you are back!" ”
Call!
The porridge was a little hot, and she puffed out her mouth and blew hard, probably because she was in too much of a hurry, and beads of sweat oozed from her fair forehead.
"Hmm!" Lin Haoran nodded lightly, seeing the beads of sweat on her forehead, and then seeing her blowing porridge vigorously, she knew that this wild girl was about to go out again, so she asked, "Tiger girl, where are you going to play in a while?" ”
"I want to go to Gangchon!" The tiger girl put the slightly hot meat porridge into her mouth, and replied vaguely with her pink face.
"What are you going to do in Gangcun?" Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, after all, the relationship with Jiangcun was still very bad.
"Brother, can't you go for a walk if you don't do anything?" Tiger Girl looked at him suspiciously and asked.
When Lin Haoran heard this, he was speechless at this girl, but he was powerless to refute it.
Although Changlin Village has changed a lot, it is indeed far from the environment of Jiangcun, especially in the surrounding area, there is really no interesting place, this girl has a reason to go there for a walk.
He once heard Hu Niu say that in the past, during the Chinese New Year, their favorite place was Jiangcun, and they would make an appointment to go to Jiangcun to pick up "squibs" to play. Because Jiangcun burns a lot of firecrackers and fireworks every year, and there is no movement in his own village at all.
Now this gap does not exist, but with the wild nature of the tiger girl, it is indeed not a small Changlin Village that can be satisfied, and will definitely want to go further and farther.
After eating the white porridge, the tiger girl said hello to Lin Haoran, and then happily took the obedient Xiaobai out and enjoyed the Spring Festival that only comes once a year.
When she walked out of the courtyard gate, there were already dozens of children in new clothes gathered outside, and they were all very happy to see her appear, and immediately chattered around her.
In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, this group of children marched towards Changlin Village, making constant noise along the way.
