Zhang Yingyao's smiling face turned into a chrysanthemum, and he waved his hand in embarrassment, "Today is Chinese New Year, I won't keep you guys for dinner.
On the fifth day, my treat!Let you try the Moutai brought back by my boss. "
Isn't it just that you have a good son, look at you.
Everyone didn't give Zhang Yingyao a chance to continue to brag, and got up and left one by one.
Zhang Yingkun, the accountant, also carried two canvas bags and called the militia captain Zhang Yingkui to leave together.
"Pingzi, sit down and rest! I'll make you a bowl of egg water.
After drinking, you go to sleep first!When the mother saw Zhang Junping, she pulled his hand distressedly and said.
"Mom, I'm not tired! I'm young, it's fine if I don't sleep all night!"
"It's okay, look at your eye circles are red!" Mother touched Zhang Junping's face distressedly.
"..."
Zhang Yingyao took a sip of the dry cigarette with jealousy on his face, this old lady, I didn't close my eyes all night, and I didn't see you caring about me.
"Mother, my father didn't sleep all night, let him sleep for a while.
I will post the pair and post the money.
After posting the pair, you have to go to the grave. "
The custom here in Yuandu is to post the money for the pair of children on New Year's Eve or New Year's Eve, and then go to the grave to invite the ancestors to go home for the New Year.
"..." Zhang Yingyao nodded in satisfaction, the boss didn't hurt in vain.
"He's an old bastard, it's fine if he doesn't sleep all night, he can't die!
In the big battles before, I often stayed up late and got used to it. "The mother gave Zhang Yingyao a sideways look, and said indifferently.
Mother said so, but turned around and washed two bowls of egg water and put them on the table.
Zhang Yingyao, who was feeling sad, revived with full blood, drank the egg water in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "I'll go and take a nap, boss, you go and take a nap too, just stick the right one and let the second and third do it." .”
"Okay! Then I'll go and squat for a while too, second and third, call me after posting the money!" Zhang Junping didn't hold back.
He is a little sleepy.
It doesn't matter if you stay up late, the key point is that it was too much work to send money to the villagers yesterday.
Although the villagers accepted the decision to withdraw their shares, they couldn't help asking questions.
It's okay for the gentlemen to say, the most they can do is to ask if they can follow Zhang Junping to BJ to make money next year.
Old women come to collect the money, that is scary, there is no one who is not curious.
The point is, these people are either aunts or sisters-in-law or aunts from the same family.
Zhang Junping couldn't offend them yet, so he could only deal with it in a good manner.
Even if they were not his relatives, Zhang Junping was unwilling to offend them.
In the village, it's okay for you to offend a man, even if you can't beat him, at most you'll get beaten up.
However, if you offend the old women, your reputation will basically be ruined. These old women can make you heinous.
In rural areas, it has not been uncommon for people to get divorced by others, to be single for life because of their bad reputation, or even to commit suicide or die aggrieved by words.
It is the old women in the village who do this.
It fully proves what it means to kill without a knife.
……
It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when Zhang Junping was woken up.
The second and third children have already posted the door-to-door money and are waiting to go to the grave.
After washing his face and changing his clothes, Zhang Junping followed his father to his grandfather's house.
Gathered grandpa, grandpa, and second grandpa to go to the grave together.
When going to the grave on New Year's Eve, women can't go, only men.
This is also one of the reasons why so many families in the countryside, in order to have a son, would rather be punished and go bankrupt, and want a son even if the family is ruined?
Not having a son is tantamount to cutting off the inheritance of incense. Among them, there is a saying that there is no son to go to the grave during the Chinese New Year.
It seems that not only Zhang Junping's family was late in going to the grave, everyone was late.
There are also rules for going to the grave, and they all go to the grave in the morning.
This year most people have changed it to the afternoon.
On the way, there were many people going to the grave, and Zhang Junping and his team got bigger and bigger.
Grandpa Zhang Junping, the elder grandpa, the second grandpa, and the fourth grandpa all gathered into a huge team.
If the family is prosperous, it can be seen at this time, for a prosperous family, such as Zhang Junping's family, fifty or sixty people went to Zhang Junping's grandfather's grave together.
This is only the old grandfather's team. When it came to Gaozu's generation, the team suddenly became hundreds of people.
Tian Zu...
No one goes to the grave of Tianzu. If there is no ancestral hall, the grave usually goes to the generation of Gaozu. This is because Zhang Junping's grandpa's generation is still built.
Otherwise, up to the great-grandfather.
No matter how high it is, it is to press a piece of paper money on the grave, and then chanting, asking the ancestors to go home for the New Year.
There are also people who are weak, such as the eldest brother-in-law's family, only four or five people go to the grave alone.
This year, Zhang's grave visit was particularly lively, and the firecrackers went off for more than an hour.
There are also many offerings to ancestors.
Ancestral tombs one by one, as long as the ancestral tombs are named, all are enshrined.
According to grandpa, it was because of the blessing of the ancestors that the Zhang family produced a unicorn like Zhang Junping.
On the way back, the four elders, grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, and grandpa, together with people from my grandpa's generation got together and murmured about the possibility of building the ancestral hall.
After the ancestral hall is built, the ancestors can receive incense and offerings in the future, and they don't have to go to the grave like this.
However, he was worried about violating the policy and causing trouble for the Zhang family.
After all, it's only been a few years since it was released.
The situation of the previous few years is still fresh in the memory of the grandparents.
In the past few years, visiting graves was not allowed at all, and everyone went to graves secretly.
Even door-to-door money is not allowed.
It has only been relaxed in the past few years, and everyone can go to the grave openly.
"Pingzi, you are a college student and know a lot. Tell me, does building the ancestral hall violate the policy?"
Zhang Junping thought for a while and said: "Grandfathers, worshiping ancestors is not a superstition, but a family inheritance, which can bring the hearts of the clan together.
The state does not prohibit the construction of ancestral halls.
It's just that we are in the north, and the construction of the ancestral hall is a bit eye-catching.
Better to wait another three or four years before building.
Over the past few years, you seniors can sort out the family tree of our Zhang family.
Also find a way to contact the clansmen who moved out. "
"Pingzi, according to what you said, it's fine for people to build the ancestral hall in the south, but we can't build it in the north?" The second grandfather was very dissatisfied with Zhang Junping's words.
"Second Grandpa, the southern ancestral hall has always existed, there is no need to rebuild it, at most it is just a renovation.
However, if you look at our village, there are eight villages nearby. Which village has an ancestral hall? Zhang Junping explained with a smile.
Speaking of ancestral halls, in the whole of Shandong, I am afraid that Kong Mengyan and others have ancestral halls, and there are no others at all.
This is also related to the history of Shandong.
Since the Han Dynasty, Shandong has suffered several disasters, the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Sui Yang of the Sui Dynasty fought against Goguryeo several times, the drought and flood locust disasters during the Little Ice River period of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and the status of the Confucian Mansion became higher and higher. People are almost extinct.
Now most of the people in Shandong have immigrated from other provinces.
The construction site has started. It has been a bit busy for the past two days. It will resume normal updates tomorrow.
