Chapter 270 Go to the old village chief's house for New Year's Eve dinner
At night, Ye Xianghai's house.
"Rong Fei, I haven't seen each other for many years, and now I'm more and more like a city person." Ye Rongyao walked into Ye Xianghai's house and said to Ye Rongfei who was coming towards him with a smile.
Since Ye Rongfei got married, he has been staying in the county town. Except for going home once during the Chinese New Year and holidays, he basically never went home. Ye Rongyao hasn't seen him for many years.
"Yes, we haven't met for many years. As soon as we get home, we hear something about you. Unexpectedly, you have become a legend in the past six months." Ye Rongfei said to Ye Rongyao with a smile.
Ye Rongfei and Ye Rongyao were the playmates who grew up together when they were young, but unlike Ye Rongyao, Ye Rongfei had good academic performance since childhood and had always been a role model for the children in the village at that time, while Ye Rongyao was the negative textbook for everyone.
Even at that time, the old village chief banned Ye Rongfei from playing with bad kids like Ye Rongyao. Later, Ye Rongfei was admitted to university, became a civil servant, and worked in the county.
His wife's name is Wu Xiaoxue, his high school classmate. After graduating from college, the two got married in a few years and gave birth to a girl. Ye Rongyao didn't know what her name was.
"If others exaggerate, I am just a farmer. How can I compare with you as a civil servant?" Ye Rongyao said modestly.
"Anyway, I heard from my mother that you are rich now. Last time, you donated a lot of money by Jianlu, and you also have to do breeding, right?" Ye Rongfei asked with a smile.
"Yes, otherwise those who stay at home and do nothing every day will be hungry sooner or later."
Ye Rongyao said. I haven't played together for many years. Ye Rongyao felt that he and Ye Rongfei were a little unfamiliar with each other. When they talked, they always felt that there was a layer of invisible film, and all that was left between them was just a guest talk.
It seems that whether it is friendship or classmates, you must keep in touch with each other, otherwise you will become more and more distant from each other, and even forget the other's existence.
"Qingqing has been missing for a long time, you are getting more and more beautiful."
Ye Rongfei looked at Liu Qingqing beside Ye Rongyao and said. To be honest, Ye Rongfei was very jealous of Ye Rongyao at this point. He was better than Ye Rongyao in any aspect, but he married a fairy-like wife, and he could only marry an average woman.
In the end, Ye Rongfei could only sigh that lazy people are lucky. A man like him who has some abilities is always envied by God and will not give him any good things.
Apart from this A-Q spirit, Ye Rongfei couldn't think of anything to comfort his traumatized heart.
"I haven't seen each other for a long time." Liu Qingqing said lightly. Liu Qingqing is really not used to talking to men other than her men.
"Brother Rong, Sister Qingqing, you are here."
Ye Shuting and Ma Lin came out of their house and saw Ye Rongyao coming. Ye Shuting immediately ran over excitedly.
"Haha, I'm going to have a free meal at your house with Qingqing." Ye Rongyao said with a smile.
"Brother Rong Yao, it doesn't matter if you eat at my house every day." Ye Shuting smiled and held Liu Qingqing's hand and said to Ye Rong Yao.
At home, especially with his cousin next to him, Liu Qingqing is not too close to her brother Rong.
"Glory, Qingqing, you are here, sit quickly, sit quickly, Tingting, don't you go to bring fruits to Rong and others to eat."
When Ye Fugui's wife Xue Xiaohua saw Ye Rongyao and Liu Qingqing coming, she immediately said to Ye Shuting.
Ye Rongyao is now a big figure in Taoyuan Village. Xue Xiaohua, who used to look down on Ye Rongyao and refused to let his son play with Ye Rongyao. Now he is very enthusiastic when he sees Ye Rongyao.
There is no way. Ye Rongyao is so capable now. Not only is he rich, but he also knows many powerful people. This makes the people in the village look up to Ye Rongyao highly.
"Aunt, you don't have to be polite to me. I'll come to your house as if I'm coming to my own house. If you are polite to me, I'll be in a rebellious way." Ye Rongyao said with a smile.
"Okay, sit down first, Rong Fei, Tingting, you guys are talking to Rong Yao. I'll wait for the kitchen to help." Xue Xiaohua said.
"Aunt, you're busy, it's great for us to chat here." Ye Rongyao said.
...
About half an hour later, a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner was ready.
However, before having the New Year’s Eve dinner, we have to worship our ancestors.
The old village chief's table worshiping ancestors was set up in a small room next to the living room. It was an Eight Immortals table. Behind the Eight Immortals table, the genealogy was pasted. The genealogy was scattered in the form of a binary tree, and some branches disappeared several generations ago.
This is in common with many family genealogies. Wars and turbulent times have caused many families to disappear from the vast river of history. This is why, after many families have branched out, they will divide the main family and branches, because they are afraid that the bloodline of their own lineage will disappear and separate the main family and branches. In the future, no matter whether the main family is destroyed or the branch is destroyed, a lineage will always survive.
Especially in the feudal society, in the era of imperial power, if there is no coming, the three clans will be destroyed and nine clans will be destroyed. At that time, many families did not allow the main family to have any connection with the branches, so that even if the main family was destroyed, the branches would not be affected.
Because Ye Rongyao and the old village chief have the same surname, they are relatives of the five qualities, and they are the same ancestors, so Ye Rongyao also worships the ancestors with the old village chiefs.
The family tree was hung, and an incense burner was first placed on the Eight Immortals table in front, with fine sand in it. A pair of big red candles were placed on both sides of the incense burner.
In front of the incense burner are three plates, one apple, one banana, and one tray of pastries, these are tributes dedicated to ancestors.
According to the Chinese rules, worshiping one's ancestors must be made by men at home. Place tributes and candles, take out sandalwood, and light them, and divide them into two pieces for each person.
Everyone held the sandalwood in their hands and worshiped their ancestors three times, and then inserted the sandalwood into the incense burner to express their admiration for their ancestors.
Like immortals and Buddhas, people think that their ancestors are in the heavenly Pure Land, and their descendants cannot communicate directly with their ancestors. Only through this sandalwood smoke can ancestors understand the words of their descendants.
I know that the descendants of the world have not forgotten them, and I also hope that the spirit of the ancestors in heaven should not forget the descendants of the world, remember to bless the descendants of the world with peace and wealth.
