On New Year's Eve, the rising sun shone down from the cracks of the clouds in the east, and golden waterfall-like light curtains appeared in the sky, indicating that today will be a good weather.

In that small mountain village surrounded by bamboo forests, there were already crowds of people here, and a large group of people were preparing sacrifices in the gravel field. However, they were not going to organize the New Year’s Eve dinner, but the most important ancestor worship ceremony of Changlin’s family.

Due to someone's reasons, the date of ancestor worship of Changlin's family has been changed to New Year's Eve. All the children of the clan will return to Changlin Village to participate in the ancestor worship, and naturally they will celebrate the New Year here.

The same is true. There will be a grand occasion of thousands of people worshiping ancestors here, and there will be a rare landscape of thousands of people having New Year’s Eve dinner together.

For this New Year's Eve dinner, the village started preparing very early. Groups of pigs and sheep, trucks of vegetables and vegetables, almost all the entire Qingye Town was purchased, and many ingredients had to go to Lianzhou City for purchase.

.

There are too many people in the Changlin clan, and the number is twice as many as last year. In addition to the marriage and childbirth of the children in the clan, more Changlin clan children came back to recognize their relatives and joined again.

The big family of Changlin.

In addition, some relatives of the outside world also increased suddenly, making the place even more lively, as if they were going to squeeze out this small mountain village.

If it were in previous years, this small mountain village would definitely not be able to accommodate so many people, but a large number of houses had been built in the village and most of the houses in Jiangcun were bought, which would allow these returning tribesmen or relatives to visit relatives.

Without realizing it, this small mountain village has gradually escaped from poverty and backwardness, and has resolutely become a wealthy village with blue bricks and green tiles everywhere.

At noon, a large group of people carried the sacrifices to form a long dragon and headed to Wohu Mountain west of the village in a mighty manner.

However, whether it is the elders or juniors in the Changlin clan, they are obviously surrounded by a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, and all his actions are centered on him.

The young man seemed very humble and insisted on letting an old man with white beards walk in the front, and he led a little girl with jade carvings to follow closely.

Lin Qingran had just stepped down as the prefect of Leizhou and had not officially taken office as the prefect of Guangzhou, so he was not good at wearing fourth-rank official uniforms, so he was dressed in a handsome man with a wine.

But his status is here, even if he is wearing a beggar outfit, it is also a manifestation of a surname. Among these thousands of tribe members, he is even more outstanding.

The mountain road had been thoroughly cleaned up. When everyone arrived at the repaired ancestral tomb, strings of fireworks sounded and then a ceremony for worshiping ancestors was held.

The ancestor of the Changlin family was an ordinary citizen and a genuine Fujianese. But I don’t know if I could not live a life or if I knew that Guangdong is vast and sparsely populated, so I became a glorious Han people who opened up land.

.

It is not nonsense that Yugong moved mountains. Now after nine generations, Changlin's family has been flourishing.

The old patriarch's biggest job this year is to produce the Changlin family genealogy, and the number of male members who have obtained the genealogy is nearly 2,000. If the Changlin family women are added, it will be nearly 4,000.

Sometimes people who think they have nothing to do with each other are real relatives. From Qinzhou in the west to Chaozhou in Chaozhou in the east, there are actually footprints of the Changlin clan.

Of course, the fact that these tribe members who had long been lost in various places were able to reunite in Changlin Village was naturally because a monster appeared in the tribe, a family member who was about to serve as the governor of Guangzhou, and a super big man who could only look up to them.

The old patriarch's hair and beard were all white, but his complexion was very good. He stood by the ancestral tomb with paper and recited loudly: "Lin Weiran, the leader of the clan, has a name Ruoyu. He was born in the Xinchou year and participated in the 36th year of Jiajing.

The imperial examination, after the county examination, the government examination, the college examination, and the small three-yuan fame. In the Dingsi year, Enke won the Jieyuan examination, and went to Beijing to win another two yuan the following year. It became the six unprecedented poems in the Ming Dynasty and was named by the emperor.

Ming Wenkui', and gave the Daming Wenkui Arch... Now, the children of the clan came to worship their ancestors, bowed and greeted them, and sacrificed their lives to express their sincerity to express their veins and sacrificed their lives to protect them... The ancestors had

I know that I can be happy to talk, and I can accept it with a smile, and I can see this kind of enthusiasm!"

After reading the tribute, the old patriarch burned it with gold, silver and paper.

Due to the venue, everyone visited in batches and signed up for the list one by one.

Lin Qingran and the old patriarch belong to the same lineage, and this lineage is naturally the most prominent and even more legitimate orthodox bloodline.

When everyone finished their worship, there were many rituals, and finally the fireworks were set off, which ended the entire sacrificial ceremony. Then the group went down the mountain and returned to the village in a mighty manner.

Back at the glutinous yard, the expanded glutinous yard is already filled with dense dining tables.

In addition to the tables provided by each household, there are also public tables in the village. These tables were originally used for weddings and wedding banquets for children of the clan, but now they happen to serve this New Year's Eve dinner.

The chef at this super banquet is still Hou Si. After years of hard work, he resolutely became a decent chef.

As a waiter from a restaurant, he once wanted to become a real restaurant chef. He once planned to set off at the United Restaurant to take up this position, but after several weighing, he resolutely gave up this dream.

He skillfully turned the pot and spoon, a ball of fireworks rose from the stove, and the ball of lard on the shovel was squeaking when it was put into the iron pot, and then a fireworks smelled of oil came out.

Looking up, he found that everyone had returned from worshiping their ancestors, especially when they saw Lin Weiran's figure, Hou Si showed a heartfelt smile on his face.

From a big wild boar in the past to hundreds of pigs and sheep and a large pile of high-quality ingredients, he witnessed the rise of Changlin's family with his own eyes. All of this seemed like a dream.

Looking at the current life of the clan members and the current strength of the Changlin clan, how could he still be obsessed with a small restaurant chef? Naturally, he is more willing to make more delicious meals for the clan members.

Bang!

On the grass next to the glutinous yard, a sound of firecrackers suddenly came.

But I saw a large group of children playing with firecrackers there, their faces looked red, and they seemed to like this exciting game of burning firecrackers.

Hu Niu, wearing a kirin suit, was resolutely in the list. Her pocket was filled with firecrackers, covering her ears with one hand, and half-squatted to light a firecracker on the ground.

Sizzle...

As the leads sprayed the sparks burned violently, she retracted her fragrant hand and covered her other ear. After running a distance, she turned around and looked at the firecrackers on the ground.

Bang!

Almost at the same time, the firecrackers on the ground burst into pieces, and the red cannon coat turned into powder and sprinkled around, and a smell of gunpowder came out.

“Geeh…”

There is no need for wealth and wealth, no need for gold and silver, nor do they need to be above them. Their joy is so simple that many children laughed happily.

"The firecrackers I bought in Leizhou City are not afraid of water. Let's go to the river to fry fish!"

Hu Niu waved her hand and took the children who followed her to walk towards the small river beside the village. The quiet river flowing over there was destined to be uneasy.

When it arrived, this super New Year's Eve dinner was finally ready.

The villagers were motivated and put all kinds of dishes on the table, including common chicken, duck, pigs and sheep, fresh fish, shrimps and crabs, as well as top dishes such as abalone and shark fin.

With the old patriarch's "Seat", everyone began to move their chopsticks and eat the plates of hearty wine and dishes.

Lin Qingran sat on the first table and toasted the old tribe and other elders, but more of the tribe members toasted him. But there were too many people toasting him. Even if he touched his lips, he felt a little drunk.

.

"Go back! If anyone is so ignorant, get out of here now!"

The old patriarch protected Lin Weiran very much, and pestled the crutch in his hand to the ground, showing his majesty as the leader of the clan. He first looked at a few young people who came with him viciously, and then said aloud to everyone.

.

When several young men saw the old patriarch getting angry, they were so scared that their faces were pale.

They actually had no malice. They just saw so many people respecting Lin Shiran, and they also felt that it was necessary to respect this backbone, and they also wanted to get along with their literary luck. However, they did not expect that when they met the old patriarch, they naturally felt extremely angry.

Fear.

"Uncle, they are all kind, please calm down!" Lin Qingran stood up to comfort him, looked at what the old patriarch wanted to say, handed him a look of calmness, and then said aloud to the silent people:

"Everyone, please listen to me! Thank you for your kindness, but I can't bear to drink, so I toast you this glass, so don't toast me anymore!" As he said that, he held the wine glass and looked at the old man again.

The patriarch said: "At the same time, this glass of wine is also a toast to the patriarch. Thanks to him for his diligence over the years, thanks to him for organizing this New Year banquet, and thanks to him for allowing all the tribesmen of our Changlin family to gather together for the New Year.

Eve dinner!”

This speech made the tense atmosphere disappear and at the same time calmed the anger of the old patriarch.

The old patriarch was not really angry. After all, thousands of tribe members could get together to share the New Year banquet. It was just that he saw a group of ignorant juniors, and Lin Weiran was too tolerant of these tribe members, so he acted as the role of the black-faced person.

.

Soon, the atmosphere here was replaced by joy.

After a quick meal, Hu Niu walked away with a big chicken leg, and led a large group of children to hang up big red lanterns and set off fireworks.

The evening is quietly approaching, and the New Year's bells are getting closer.

Lin Qingran distributed New Year's money to the children, but there were too many children from Changlin's family, so he only distributed a few red envelopes symbolically and then handed them over to Lin Yuanbao for execution.

Leaving from the sanitary yard, he walked straight to his home. The hut full of memories in the past disappeared. It was already a good house with blue bricks and green tiles, but a yellow fruit tree next to it was still preserved.

Hu Niu led a few little girls to catch up with Lin Qingran in a hurry. Her black and white eyes looked at Lin Qingran and said in a crisp voice: "Brother, you haven't sent me New Year's money yet!"

"Are you short of money?" Lin Qingran looked at the wild girl who was directly asking for New Year's money, and expressed helplessness about this.

"I'm not short of money!" Hu Niu replied honestly with her face raised, but said seriously: "But I am your sister, you should give me New Year's money! You should not only give me New Year's money, but you should also give me the little rabbit,

Pigs, foxes, and mice!”

Lin Qingran looked at the four little girls behind her and was immediately helpless. The wild girl was clearly trying to "kill" him. It was understandable that she asked for New Year's money herself, such as the little rabbit, the little pig and the little fox.

It's also reasonable, but what happened to this mouse?

"Brother, if you are not prepared, you can just give me some silver, but you have to give it a little more!" Hu Niu looked at Lin Weiran's appearance and said considerately.

Lin Qingran sighed slightly, and finally got a little comfort in his heart. Then he took out the prepared pearls from his arms and sent them one by one and said, "Okay, you all have them!" A round of distribution was released.

Later, he handed the largest one to Hu Niu and said, "Your is here!"

"Thank you brother!"

Hu Niu's eyes were slightly brighter, and she happily reached out to take the big pearl, leaving only a word of thanks, turned around and led the little rabbit and others to run away like a gust of wind.

Lin Xuran looked at the wild girl who disappeared into the night and shook her head helplessly. After returning to Changlin Village, this wild girl was like a wild horse that broke away from her reins and was unwilling to stay at home for a moment.

The big red lantern in front of the door has been hung high, making it look bright when it comes to the door.

Lin Qingran was about to enter the house, but found a pair of bright eyes looking at him on the swing in the dark place in front of the door.
