Chapter 350: New Year is coming
Meng Guanhuai couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Meng Guanheshu. The guy described the meal vividly and the scenes were as if he were there in person. He is worthy of being the one!
Meng Guanhe showed a smug smile. That's right, don't you see who he is!
He has specialized in studying New Year legends, and is particularly interested in the monster Nian. People say that the Nian monster is a legend, but in his opinion, the Nian monster might actually exist!
"Grandfather, I have many more stories and customs about the New Year. Do you want to hear more?"
"I want to hear it!"
Li Li turned her head and stared at him with shining eyes. Although she was watching TV just now, she was listening to his story seriously and found it very interesting!
She really wants to see the Nian monster. Is it really that scary?
Also, could this Nian beast be some kind of monster? I’m so curious!
The little guy is very curious now, how can he bear it? He wishes it was New Year's Day so that he can go out to find the Nian monster!
"Uh, ancestor, this is just a legend. No one knows whether the Nian beast exists or not!"
"Guan He, you are still too young!"
As Meng Guanhe stared in amazement, Li Li said earnestly, "As the saying goes, there is no wind without waves. Without wind, there are no waves. So the Nian Beast must exist!"
Meng Guanhe was speechless. "Ancestor, your earnest expression is really awkward. Do you still remember how old you are this year?"
Imagine a three-year-old baby patting your hands and speaking earnestly.
The scene was as funny as it could be. It was really funny when the ancestor acted like a little adult. It was also especially funny when the ancestor got angry!
"Grandfather is right!" Meng Guanhe looked at him expectantly, "Grandfather, when you go to look for the Nian Beast, can you take me with you? I also want to see the legendary Nian Beast!"
"Can!"
The little girl waved her chubby hands nonchalantly. She was determined to catch the Nian monster to see how terrifying it was.
"Thank you, ancestors!"
Meng Guanhuai was speechless when he saw this. If the ancestors didn't understand, how could he, who is so old, not understand?
Really, we have corrupted our ancestors!
"Grandpa, what other cartoons do you want to watch? I'll find them for you!"
"No, I can do it myself!"
Meng Guanhe smiled and watched happily beside the old ancestor.
In short, he now knows that as long as he holds on to his ancestors, everything will be fine.
Hehe, this is called the choice of a smart person!
"See? Meng Guanhe is still as smart as ever!"
The others looked at Meng Guanhe with sour eyes as he sat next to the ancestor and happily watched cartoons.
They did want to, but they really didn't know what to say to their ancestors. Could it be said that they were worthy of being Meng Guanhe if they could have a common topic with them?
"Okay, if you guys are jealous, why don't you watch cartoons with our ancestors?"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone smiled awkwardly. They really couldn't understand it, let alone understand what was so good about it.
As Li Li expected, the New Year came quietly.
Before the New Year, Li Li specially accompanied the Lu family for a reunion dinner to make up for the regret of not being able to celebrate the New Year at the Lu family this year.
When the two old people heard this, although they felt a little regretful, they didn't say anything. After all, who said Li Li was not their child?
He is the elder with the highest seniority in the Meng family. If they want to keep Li Li, the Meng family can't give in!
Before leaving, Li Li also left a lot of magical plants and fruits planted in the villa to the Lu family.
Not long after the reunion dinner, Li Li brought a group of disciples back to the Meng clan's territory. As for the villa, with the magic array set up by Li Li, there was no need to worry about anyone breaking in.
Especially after the Qin family incident, no one wanted to rush forward to seek death, which really shocked all the ancient martial arts families that were ready to make a move.
This year was different from previous years. Everyone in the Meng family, from the top to the bottom, from the old to the young, had an excited smile on their face, especially those who had never seen their ancestors in person!
At first, they only knew that an ancestor of high status was born in the tribe, but they had only heard about him and had never seen him.
Except for the core disciples who have met the ancestor, ordinary disciples are not qualified to meet the ancestor alone.
Later, when they found out that the ancestor was a three-year-old baby, their expressions were indescribable. They felt so awkward towards this baby ancestor who suddenly appeared.
However, seeing that the clan leader and elders were very respectful to the infant ancestor, although he felt uncomfortable, he secretly watched the variety show in which the ancestor participated when he came down privately.
Good guys, seeing this, they felt even more uncomfortable. Even if other members of the tribe talked about how powerful their ancestor was, they still sneered.
How powerful could a three-year-old ancestor be? At most, he had a higher grade. Except for those tribesmen who knew the truth, none of them took this infant ancestor seriously.
When the Qin family incident happened, not only the ancient martial arts world was shaken, but even the Meng clan was greatly shaken. Was that infant ancestor so powerful?
It was so easy to destroy the old monster of the Qin family. This time, they truly felt that the horror of the ancestor was not only his age, but his real strength.
No wonder the clan leader and his men were so attentive to the ancestor, it turned out that they were hiding their true abilities, and they were just superficial!
As the New Year is approaching, the clan leader and all the clan members who are away from home have returned to their clan land, and said that their ancestors will celebrate the New Year with them in the clan land.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was excited. They all wanted to see with their own eyes the ancestor who had eliminated the old monster of the Qin family. How could they not be excited!
The main theme of the busy New Year activities is to get rid of the old and usher in the new, and dust cleaning is one of the customs before the New Year.
There is a folk saying that goes "On the twenty-fourth day of the Ramadan, dust and sweep the house."
On the 23rd/24th of the year, we officially start preparing for the Chinese New Year.
Dust sweeping is the year-end cleanup, which is called "sweeping the house" in the north and "sweeping the house" in the south.
Every time the Spring Festival comes, every household cleans the environment, washes various utensils, takes apart and washes bedding and curtains, sweeps the courtyard, brushes away dust and cobwebs, and dredges the open and underground drains. Everywhere is filled with the joyful atmosphere of happily doing sanitation and welcoming the New Year in a clean manner.
According to folk sayings: because "dust" and "old" are homophones, sweeping the dust during the Spring Festival means "getting rid of the old and ushering in the new". The purpose of sweeping the dust is to sweep out all the "bad luck" and "bad luck" in order to pray for a good year ahead; this custom carries people's prayers and wishes to ward off evil and disasters, bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and welcome good fortune.
The buildings in the Meng clan's land are all in ancient architectural style. Every household has an ancient courtyard house. The Meng clan's ancestral hall is even more majestic and solemn. There are disciples guarding outside the hall. Except on special days, the hall will not be opened.
