Chapter 237

Not long after the Chinese Valentine's Day was the Ghost Festival. Wen Jiunian also went to the capital with Lin Nanxuan, one to take wedding photos and the other to go home to celebrate the festival.

Lin's father went shopping early in the morning. As for Lin's mother, she continued to do what she was supposed to do. She was divorced from Lin's father and the Lin family didn't need her to worship their ancestors. Also, because she was married, the Yun family didn't need her to go home to worship their ancestors, so she just stayed in the guest inn.

This year, everyone planned to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. Each family bought their own food and cooked it together. The dishes were bought together and cooked by Lin's father and several others, while Lin Nanzhi and others folded yellow paper.

It is not popular to burn gold ingots here. What is burned is square pieces of yellow paper. There is a saying that goes "three for gods and four for ghosts", which means that when worshiping gods, whether it is incense or yellow paper, three portions are used, and four portions are offered to ghosts.

Therefore, fold the yellow paper into four pieces and put them in the prepared basket, and they can be burned at night.

There was a lot of yellow paper, and it took seven or eight people several hours to fold it all, and the meal was ready.

In the morning, they were casual, but in the evening, they would cook a large table of delicious dishes, and then put a little of each dish in a bowl and put it in the evening to add water, commonly known as rice with water, to pour on those wandering ghosts. , so that they would not have no descendants to rob their ancestors.

Lin Nanzhi used to think that the belief in gods and ghosts was fake, but since she was reborn, this was not scientific, so she began to believe it and was particularly serious when burning paper at night.

In addition to yellow paper, there were also ghost money in the form of large-denomination simulated modern paper money that have been particularly popular in recent years, as well as a set of clothes and shoes for each person, and a paper car was burned for Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, and Lin Nanye’s biological mother.

In addition, the house and the ghost boys and girls were burned down for Grandpa Lin and Lin Nanye’s biological mother.

When Grandma Lin passed away, the family was still able to afford a grand funeral for her. At that time, everything they had was burned for her. This year, now that the family has money, they thought of burning one set for Grandpa Lin and one set for Lin Nanye's daughter.

As for the other ancestors, after all, they were a generation apart, so burning a set of clothes and shoes was enough for them.

Father Lin said that they had to call people to collect the money while it was burning, otherwise they wouldn't know whose money it was and the people in the underworld wouldn't be able to receive it. As a result, the whole yard was filled with voices like "ancestor", "grandfather", and "grandma are here to collect the money".

Only Lin Nanye gave a lot of money to his deceased mother.

“Cough cough cough…”

No matter where Lin Nanye squatted, she would be blinded by the smoke from the yellow paper. She gave in several times but it was still the same. She couldn't help coughing a few times.

She really wanted to curse, but then she remembered something:

The smoke from the yellow paper is actually created by the dead person. He wants to touch you again, but humans and ghosts are different, so he can only use this method.

Hmm... here I come to make you cry again!

She sighed and stood a little further away.

After burning paper in the evening, Lin's mother came. The reason why everyone celebrated the festival together this year was because of this matter. They discussed where and how to do it, and whether there was anything missing so that they could buy it while there was still enough time.

These have nothing to do with Lin Nanzhi and the others.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Nanxuan's wedding was put on the agenda. On the 22nd, many people came to the house to discuss buying food and other matters.

Lin Nanzhi, Lin Nanxuan, Lin Nanmeng and others, even Wan Baobao was asked by Lin Nanzhi to help.

There's nothing special, I just came to help Lin Nanxuan decorate the wedding room.

Not only the wedding room needs to be decorated, but the entire home needs to be decorated, and not just one side, but both sides.

Thinking that all the relatives from Lin's father's side would be there, I was afraid that the child would enter the bridal chamber out of ignorance, so I arranged for him to stay at Lin's mother's side. Coincidentally, Lin Nanxuan had also been living here.

The yard at home is quite big, and both sides need to be cleaned, which is quite time-consuming.

The word "happiness" is pasted on most places in the house. A red rope is stretched from the second floor of the yard and hung on the gate and the wall. Some red satin and red lanterns are hung on top. Small red lanterns and neon strings are hung on the wall.

The balcony on the second floor was not left out either. Double happiness characters were pasted on the door, and a balloon arch bridge was built at the entrance. The guardrails by the water were covered with roses and did not need decoration, but some balloons could be hung.

Balloons were used a lot. After a few people hung up the red ribbons and lanterns in the yard, they started to inflate balloons at home. Each of them held an air pump and inflated them frantically. They had been busy since morning until now, and the living room was full of balloons.

Don’t rush to deal with the things outside, decorate the house first.

The same neon light strings were hung on the green plants in the house, and the larger ornaments were pasted with wedding characters. The stairs were covered with red carpets, and various blessing messages were posted on the steps. The handrails were also not spared, with balloons tied to them.

In the end, I didn't know how to decorate it beautifully, so I just did what I thought. I put red and gold balloons on the ceiling, mixed with a few blue balloons and placed them directly on the ceiling, with red ribbons hanging at the end.

The quilts are still apricot-colored, and the four-piece sets won’t be changed until tomorrow.

There are no golden English letters on the wall at the head of the bed, but instead there are some red fan-shaped ornaments with tassels.

I pasted a wedding character on the window and hung red ribbons on the curtains to avoid the room being filled with red. I also ordered flowers and plan to put up some fresh flowers the day after tomorrow.

Finally, a red carpet was laid in the room, and the room was almost done. Finally, a colorful lantern was hung in the backyard, as well as the house next door. The amount of work was really quite a lot.

Twenty-three, helping out at home.

The rooms in the house were all furnished, so it was impossible to have dinner there. The yard was also not suitable because there were many green plants there. In the end, we chose to hold the banquet at Uncle Lin's house. His house had just been built to look like a courtyard, half of which had just been renovated and had nothing in it.

The most important thing is that no one lives on the first floor!

To help today, Lin Nanzhi took out the red carpet and laid it out from the door of Uncle Lin's house to the door of Lin's mother's house.

Lin Nanmeng and the others had all started school, and Lin Nanxun had gone to military training after filming was over and had never returned. Therefore, she was the only one doing this job, and Lin Nanxuan and Wan Baobao also helped her do it.

The two sisters rolled out the red carpet, and Wanbao placed something that looked like a weight at a distance to the side. After that, the three of them tied together the balloons of various colors that they had blown up yesterday, tied them to the small thing with wool, and finally they had a balloon arch bridge.

This was a bit more troublesome to do, but not impossible. The three of us worked until around three in the afternoon to finish it.

"Not bad, it's finally finished. It's not particularly ugly, it's still presentable."

Lin Nanxuan and Wan Baobao also nodded in agreement.

"I should have hired a wedding planner earlier."

"Forget it. We don't have anything like that here!"

Lin Nanzhi thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

Wumeng was not even a third-tier city before, and is only now beginning to develop gradually, so it does not have all these.
