Chapter 52 Worshipping the Wrong Ancestors for 15 Years
The bearded man is called Xu Bing. His family is in southern Fujian and he speaks with a southern Fujian accent.
"Ah, what do my ancestors want to talk to me about?"
Mu Li said with a smile, "Your family hasn't burned money for the ancestors for more than 10 years. The ancestors have no money to spend and have been living off their savings. They are almost running out of money, so they have to come to you."
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. You forgot to burn money for your ancestors, and your ancestors are coming to you]
[Could it be that you are doing a cyber sacrifice, burning money online, and the ancestors can't receive it?]
[It's not very popular recently. You can just do it online with one click. Few young people burn lucky buns now]
[Could it be that this is really the case? That's really filial piety]
[Ancestor: Who knows? My family has been down there for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen cyber burning money.
After
hearing the reason, netizens remembered that cyber burning money has been very popular recently, and many people have already started to practice this way of burning money.
They say it is to protect the environment, but in fact, young people are unwilling to do these tedious things.
Xu Bing was speechless, and when he saw the comments on the barrage, he was completely confused.
"No, I'm from Minnan. Every year during the Spring Festival, our entire family goes to worship our ancestors. Every household goes to pick up lucky bags and spends a lot of money every year."
"I can't say anything else, but in recent years, we have new cats and dogs, and all kinds of beautiful mobile phones. We even go to temples to ask masters to consecrate them. Every year, we spend a lot." "
For us in Minnan, worshiping our ancestors is a very important thing."
Xu Bing couldn't think of it, his ancestors would come to him because he had no money. He
had just finished the Qingming Festival in the first three months. Even if he spent a lot of money, it was impossible for him to spend it all in three months.
[By the way, what this brother said is not wrong. In our Minnan, we burn a lot of things every year for our ancestors]
[To be honest, the children in Minnan have to fold gold ingots around Qingming Festival to burn money for their ancestors]
[Could it be that we have burned too much money in recent years and inflation has started down there?]
[This is so funny. Could it be that there is also a financial crisis down there?]
[Hahahaha, you are so funny, brother in front]
...
This group of people are getting more and more outrageous, and Mu Li admires their imagination.
It is true that when there are more people, imagination is directly released.
Looking at Xu Bing who was incredulous, Mu Li said faintly: "Do you think there is a possibility that you have found the wrong ancestral tomb."
Xu Bing shook his head quickly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. It was the older generation who took us there, and every year the whole family would take photos as a souvenir."
Mu Li pursed his lips and smiled: "In places like these on the mountain, it is inevitable to find the wrong ancestral tomb. Do you want to confirm it again?"
Xu Bing ran out with his mobile phone and said to his mother sitting on the sofa: "Mom, where are the albums of our ancestral worship over the years?"
The person sitting on the sofa watching TV glanced at his son and asked curiously: "Why are you looking for this? What's the matter?"
Xu Bing said angrily: "Some people say that we found the wrong place for ancestral worship. The ancestors didn't receive the things from the past, I don't believe that we can really find the wrong place. "
When Xu's mother heard this, she immediately patted the sofa: "How could we find the wrong place? We go to the same place every year and burn so much paper money every year. This is impossible."
Xu Bing nodded quickly: "That's right, I want to get the photo album out, I must prove to them, how could we make such a mistake."
Xu Bing's mother: "Wait, I'll find the photo album for you, I don't believe it."
The conversation between the two attracted Xu Bing's father who was playing with his mobile phone in the room. After hearing what happened, his face was also full of anger.
The two people searched in the room for a while and soon came out with the photo album.
Three faces appeared on the phone screen, and the people on the screen were immediately shocked.
[Oh my god, I'm dead, how come everyone in this family looks so good?]
[Although you look so good, you are really stubborn. It would be really funny if you really found the wrong grave when you were offering sacrifices to your ancestors]
[Although you are good-looking, you are really funny]
...
Xu Bing's family flipped through all the albums of ancestor worship in recent years. Basically, there are a lot of them every year.
There are group photos and individual photos of each person. It can be seen that the people in this family really like to take pictures, and none of them are ugly.
There are even many good uncles who are very handsome, which makes people feel cold and jealous.
Mu Li watched them finish the entire album, and then said, "Compare the photos from 16 years ago with the photos from this year."
Father Xu took out the two photos and compared them together.
All three of them were stunned.
This, this is not the same place!
In the photo taken 16 years ago, there were two mountains behind, like a buttock, but in the photo taken now, there is no mountain behind the same location, just a flat area.
The three of them were sweating profusely, and they frantically compared the photos taken 16 years ago with the photos taken a few years later.
They found that since 15 years ago, the tomb where they worshipped their ancestors has become another family, and none of them noticed it.
[Oh my god, I am almost dying of laughter. No one in this family has noticed that the ancestor they worshipped has changed.]
[They are so miserable, I want to laugh when I see them.]
[Who in the family understands? I have met a filial son.]
[They are not going to erect a tombstone, so how could they find the wrong place? 】
【The Minnan people came to explain that many of the ancestral tombs actually do not have tombstones. The original tombstones were made of wood, which slowly decayed over the years】
【Indeed, even if there are tombstones, the words on them will slowly fade over time】
[I know, I am also from southern Fujian. Last year, I and a family next door to our village made a mistake in the grave. We both offered sacrifices to each other’s ancestors, and then our two families realized it]
[The one upstairs is not so bad, at least every ancestor can receive something, which is much better than this family that has not received anything for more than 10 years]
Xu Bing’s family of three blushed, and now they can’t wait to find a place to hide.
Is there any way to leave the earth quickly? It’s urgent!
I am too embarrassed to see anyone.
Looking at the photos of these years, every year during the Qingming Festival, all the people in the family grinned with their big teeth showing, and they had no idea that they had worshipped the wrong ancestors.
It is simply filial piety that makes one strong! !
