…
Wang Dahai's family's ancestor worship this time was not like the Qingming Festival, and the whole clan was not disturbed.
They would carry meat, fish, some fruit, and prepare some wine, and go to the graves of their ancestors to worship, burn paper money, and tell the ancestors the good news.
Given their current conditions, they also prepared a lot of firecrackers.
After paying homage to each grave, set off a string of firecrackers.
Early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers echoed in the riverside village.
After the sacrifice, Wang Xiangdong and several brothers were waiting at the intersection and told Wang Dahai that the ancestral hall was ready.
"For lunch, the whole clan will set up a few tables in front of the ancestral hall. I've already arranged for someone to go buy some vegetables..."
Originally, I would go home directly, prepare a table of delicious food at noon, set it in the main hall, put out the wine and food, light incense to invite the ancestors to enjoy, and then burn paper money to send them off.
It had to be held in the ancestral hall, which suddenly changed the nature of this ancestor worship.
All the elders of Wang Zhaozhao's generation, whom they called Fifth Great Uncle, were invited to the Wang family ancestral hall.
"Da Hai, you said you have such a big happy event, why are you still hiding it? If it were someone else, they would have shouted it out with a loud speaker long ago."
"Well! It's not a big deal to bother you all."
"You old fellow, you are going back in time as you grow older. What an honor it is."
"Yes, yes, that's what my uncle said."
Wang Dahai nodded repeatedly and admitted his mistake obediently.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others were watching from the side and laughing, especially Wang Baojia. Although he covered his mouth, his laughter was exaggerated and it looked like his skin was itching.
After the ceremony, the children can go out and play.
The elders gathered together to talk, the men went around the village to move tables and chairs, and the women began to prepare lunch in full swing.
"Zhao Zhao, you are so amazing."
Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Xiaomei sat under an osmanthus tree in front of the ancestral hall. They were surrounded by groups of three or five, all of whom were children from the Wang family.
Wang Zhaozhao shook his head. "Whether it's impressive or not, I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, I just made it this far step by step."
"It's just amazing." said Wang Xiaomei.
Wang Zhaozhao smiled and asked her, "How are you doing this semester? Did you calculate the joint entrance exam?"
"This semester I participated in an essay competition and won second place, which earned me a prize. My final exam score was also pretty good."
Wang Xiaomei told her happily.
Wang Zhaozhao smiled knowingly, "That's great."
Wang Xiaomei nodded, "Yes, that's great."
The two smiled at each other, and Wang Zhaozhao stretched and felt the summer breeze.
It's slightly warm.
"You are in the sixth grade, right? You will be in the first grade next semester." After a long while, when Wang Zhaozhao was feeling a little sleepy, he suddenly asked Wang Xiaomei.
"Um."
"So you're going straight to the junior high school in Daling Commune? Have you ever thought about going to the middle school in the county?"
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao waited for a while, but didn't hear Wang Xiaomei's answer, so he couldn't help yawning.
After waiting for a while...she looked at Wang Xiaomei.
"With your grades, it shouldn't be difficult to get into the county middle school, right?"
"Well, you can get in, and you can get in with tuition and living expenses waived."
Wang Xiaomei said.
Wang Zhaozhao's sleepiness, brought by the wind, was blown away by the wind again. "Don't tell me you refused!"
"No, I said I'd think about it."
"What to consider? Do you have any concerns?"
Wang Zhao sat up straight suddenly, "Let me tell you, although we are both in junior high school, the junior high school in the county town and the junior high school in the commune are still different.
At the very least, the county middle school teaches English from grade 8 to grade 9, but the commune middle school doesn’t have that!
"But, I have to leave home and stay in a boarding house..."
“!!!”
Wang Zhaozhao was speechless and wanted to roll his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Are you reluctant to leave home? Or are you afraid of boarding school? I really... I'm saying, how come you're not even as good as that little girl Wang Jingjing?!"
"Ah? Sister Zhao, are you calling me?"
Wang Jingjing, who was playing with a few little girls nearby, suddenly heard Wang Zhaozhao excitedly mention her name and ran over happily.
Wang Zhaozhao, "Well, come and tell your sister Xiaomei, are you scared about boarding this semester?"
"I'm not afraid. What's there to be afraid of at school? Besides, it's fun to go to school with my classmates, eat in the cafeteria together, and go back to the dormitory together."
"Do you miss home? What do you do when you miss home? Do you cry in the middle of the night?"
"I thought about it at first, but I didn't cry. I can go home by Saturday afternoon."
"Well, that's good! I'll give you my eighth grade English book and an English-Chinese dictionary when I get back."
"Really? Thank you, Sister Zhao."
Wang Jingjing was so happy that her eyes were filled with joy.
The system couldn't help but sigh, "Host, I really don't understand. What kind of fate does your father have? He gave birth to two daughters, each one as good as the other."
Well.
Wang Zhaozhao discovered that although what the system said was unpleasant, it was quite reasonable.
But, "What do you mean by one is better than the other? You mean, Wang Jingjing is better than me?"
"Ahem! It depends on your opinion, host."
"You are a system, why are you pretending to be someone? And you even coughed dryly."
Wang Zhaozhao said this with a humphing, then directly blocked it like a stingy person.
system:"……!"
Because of Wang Jingjing's intrusion, a group of young girls from the Wang family surrounded Wang Xiaomei and Wang Zhaozhao, and then Wang Xingwen and the others came over.
Everyone was very interested in getting involved and was particularly active in expressing their opinions.
Later, some children from Old Chen's family also joined in.
As a result, Wang Xiaomei was admitted to the county middle school, where she was exempted from tuition and provided with food and accommodation. However, she was reluctant to leave home and did not want to live in the school. The news that she was unwilling to go spread throughout the village.
Her grandmother Xie Xiaofeng was "besieged" by many old women.
When her father Wang Gonglai was approached by Wang Xiangdong and several other people from the clan, he looked confused.
have to!
I didn't tell my family at all.
This is really...
Some members of the Wang family were envious and some were jealous, but at the same time, they were also quite proud, especially when facing the people from the Chen family.
As for the people in Old Chen's family, they are just helpless, unwilling, envious, jealous and hateful!
In the disputes over clan names in the village, the Chen family has always had the power, while the Wang family has a more flexible and better living standard.
Who would have known that the balance of Hebian Village, which could be traced back to one or two hundred years, had been broken.
When did it all start? Suddenly, out of nowhere, smoke billowed from Wang Dahai's ancestral tomb, and a man named Wang Zhaozhao, who could read, emerged...
No! No, no.
The root cause is Wang Dahai.
For decades, he has been an honest and quiet person, but he finally accomplished something great.
Without discussing it with anyone, he just announced the separation after making up his mind.
Just as everyone was shocked, he announced silently that he would send Wang Zhaozhao, who was left to be raised by the old couple and whose mother no longer cared about him, to school.
Then……
It's out of control!
The most infuriating thing is that there is not just smoke coming out of that spot in the Wang family’s ancestral grave, but smoke coming out from everywhere!
At this moment, the Wang Family Ancestral Hall was filled with laughter and the sound of clinking glasses.
The people in Old Chen’s family just thought, it’s so fucking noisy!
