Chapter 168 New Year's Eve Ancestor Worship
Before we knew it, the Chinese New Year was approaching.
Just before the Lunar New Year, An Jianguo and his group rushed back from Fengyin Bay.
However, in Shuncheng, those who should be busy are still busy.
An Songyu also felt quite impressed.
If in the future, people were made to work until New Year's Eve, countless people would quit their jobs in a heartbeat.
But now, many people are eager to earn money for just one more day.
After all, the salary that An Songyu's family originally paid was not low compared to other villages in the area.
And they never default on payments.
Before the Lunar New Year, he even went to the wholesale market and brought back a truckload of goods to distribute as New Year's benefits to everyone.
However, even if everyone still wants to continue.
On the 28th, everyone who was supposed to have a holiday got one.
Today, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, is Lunar New Year's Eve.
After discussing it, the entire An family gathered at An Songyu's house to celebrate the New Year.
After the reunion dinner, everyone had to immediately set off back to the village.
Ancestor worship on New Year's Eve is an indispensable custom in Jiangcun every year.
In the past, each family would worship their own ancestors.
Today, however, the entire village is going back to the brigade headquarters to pay respects.
The process was naturally more complex and solemn than ever before.
Although the ancestral hall in Jiangcun is divided into two sides, the preparations for ancestral worship are exactly the same.
When An Songyu and his family arrived.
The area below the cemetery near the brigade headquarters was already filled with cars from all over the place.
An Songyu stood to the side with her younger sisters.
An Songlin then took his younger brothers to the other side.
However, there was one rather discordant figure among them.
An Songyu tugged at An Songyue, whose face was full of disgust, to stop her from looking at An Songshu's eyesore.
He's practically embodying the idea that his body is in Cao Cao's camp but his heart is with Han!
What made the An family look even worse today was that Jiang Wenying, who should have been with Bi Lizhu and the others, was now in the Jiang family ancestral hall next door.
Thinking back to the fact that the couple was absent from the family reunion dinner at noon today, An Songyu really didn't know how to comment.
To be honest, An Songyu learned a lot from his past twenty-odd years of experience.
However, there were also many things that An Songyu had never experienced before.
Just like this large family acting together.
The future that once existed, An Songyu is now in Nanshi.
And for a long time afterward, the young couple lived there with their child.
Occasionally, her family members from her mother's side and her husband's side would come to stay.
Things like large families gathering together for a reunion dinner, and entire villages coming to worship their ancestors.
An Songyu knew that this had happened many times.
Not to mention her, even An Songxiang, who wasn't married at the time, rarely got involved.
On the other hand, An Jianping and his wife, along with An Songlin and his wife, almost never missed a year.
Even after each ancestral worship ceremony, they rarely mentioned it to their family.
Now, An Songyu finally understands some of the reasons.
Not to mention An Songshu and his wife, they probably cause quite a bit of trouble every year.
Just look at all the nice cars parked here, inside and out.
And the amount of money that everyone talks about so easily.
It's estimated that An Jianping and his group will suffer some setbacks every year when they come here!
How could they possibly want to let their children, who had barely escaped this ordeal, experience it all again after they returned home?
This year's ancestral hall activities were grand and lengthy.
It's as if to tell our ancestors that their descendants are getting better and better.
After finally leaving the ancestral hall, they were finally able to move around freely.
However, today's ancestral worship ceremony is not the end.
An Songyu and his family stood in front of his great-grandparents' graves, burning specially made carriages, mansions, and fine clothes.
There were even two children, a boy and a girl.
I don't know what I can do for the elderly if they really die.
After leaving their great-grandparents' graves, they did not leave immediately.
Besides going to pay respects to ancestors of higher generations.
They also visited and paid respects to some other elders in the clan.
An Songyu examined them carefully and found that some of them no longer had descendants to perform ancestral rites.
This can be considered a worship ceremony performed by the entire clan.
Some are heroes.
As members of the same tribe, they naturally could not allow their heroes to be forgotten.
An Songyu, along with the younger generation, performed the ancestral worship with exceptional seriousness.
Even after everyone had finished their worship, the ancestral worship ceremony was not considered complete.
All the people of Jiangcun began to discuss it animatedly.
The people from Jiangcun will be having a get-together later.
Since the entire Jiangcun village moved out, many people from Jiangcun haven't had a proper get-together.
On the way back, the families were no longer as distinct as when they arrived.
Instead, they were people who knew each other well, and they got together in different cars.
When An Songyu was pulled away by Sister-in-law Yun.
Seeing that the person who came to see his aunt was immediately pulled into his parents' car, he felt a little more at ease.
As soon as she got into Sister Yun and her husband's car, she couldn't wait to ask:
"I heard that you're already preparing to build on the land you have in Wind Whisper Bay?"
An Songyu smiled and nodded. Remembering the situation she'd seen on the neighboring plot of land last time, she couldn't help but ask:
"So the foundation for your land seems to be completed already?"
"Yes!" Although Sister Yun had never been to the Fengyin Bay project, she was very clear about its progress.
"However, the houses over there don't have basements, and they're only built to six stories, so it's naturally faster."
An Songyu was not surprised by this.
This year, the relevant regulations were clearly put forward.
Buildings with seven or more floors must be equipped with indoor elevators.
An Songyu only learned this when she went to handle the formalities for Fengyin Bay.
Although Sister Yun and her family completed the procedures for their land a little earlier, they probably can't avoid this issue either.
As for building an underground parking lot...
If it weren't for the fact that several large-scale projects were launched in Fengyin Bay in the second half of this year, it would have been different.
I bet An Songyu's application was quite astonishing!
However, since the two lower floors of their building are a commercial complex, the requirement for underground parking is not surprising.
Although Sister-in-law Yun knew the difference, she didn't know many of the details.
So after chatting casually with An Songyu about when their Fengyin Bay project would start, we started gossiping about the situation in Jiang Village.
Although An Songyu's busy time was not very long.
But for the Jiangcun residents who moved to Xinlin Village, it seems like every day brings obvious changes.
Just like the place they're going to now.
It was the first food stall opened by people from Jiangcun.
Moreover, the food stall is not located near Xinlin Village.
We followed a long line of cars.
The food stall, which had been closed for the night, became lively again after the owner arrived.
However, today, the food stalls are not catering to the people of Jiangcun.
Instead, it provides a place for the people of Jiangcun, who have nowhere else to gather, to get together.
