The family has six people, five kilograms of glutinous rice, which is completely enough to eat. The local area cannot grow sesame seeds, so it is no wonder that the two girls like it tightly.

"Slow down, don't grab it, there are sesame seeds in my bag." He said so, but the two girls still grabbed it happily.

Fang Dajun simply put down the glutinous rice rake and went to get sesame seeds again, but his mother called him to not spoil his sister, but his father had a different opinion and asked him to get sesame seeds still.

Well, my father was the oldest in the family, so he naturally took out the sesame again, and my second sister came to help.

When it was dark, the family had already eaten and drank enough to wash and go to bed. At this time, he took out the gift he bought. The total cost was not much, but it was all rare goods that were not in the town. There was a laugh from the main hall for a long time...

And he was naturally told by his mother, and he saved a little bit. Well, he had already reflected on it. He planned to take a few days to buy it and there was new rice in the grain station, so he directly purchased a large amount of rice and stocked it up at home, striving to be the first "Rice Brother" in the Beidou area.

—————

Early the next morning, the whole family changed into relatively decent clothes because they were going to go to the secretary's house for dinner today and got married.

In the rural areas in the central area of ​​Shu, a traditional folk custom of "worshiping for Baobao" has been preserved for thousands of years.

In order to enable the child to grow up healthily and smoothly, elders will find a "guarantee" for the baby shortly after the baby is born. This "guarantee" should meet some conditions: First, good character, prosperous family, and healthy whole family. Second, people are willing to do "guarantee". After the two parties agree, they will set a date for "guarantee". Of course, the Feng Shui master must also ask him to calculate the eight characters.

For Fang Dajun, this is a big treasure, Yang Chuntao has taken a big advantage!

Everything is done according to the traditional rules. My parents have already prepared items, including the big red chicken man (symbolizing vitality), white sugar or rock candy and other candies (representing sweet and beautiful life), noodles and wine (representing long-term, eating and drinking), as well as a few feet of red cloth bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, and red envelopes.

Those who are insured need to take advantage of it. If you collect dozens of children, you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

At this time, the seventh uncle Fang Dongjian and the fourth master came to the house, as well as his father's brother and his uncle Fang Dongcheng's family.

Grandparents in this life left early, but they had no chance to be filial. My father had a big brother, but he seemed to have had conflicts. He didn't know the details. He rarely had any contact with each other. Last time he was injured, he didn't come and see him, but he still asked his relatives to send him a basket of eggs.

The aunt gave birth to three sons and a young daughter in one breath. The two sons have already started a family. Today, she came with her seventeen-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter.

Because he needs witness to his relatives when he seeks a safeguard, this is an old rule and must not be vague, otherwise he will offend the "ancestors".

In addition, my father and three sisters all married to other communes and would only walk around during the Spring Festival.

"Uncle, aunt, brother Minggen, sister Juanzi." Fang Dajun stepped forward and said hello. After all, they were passed down by an ancestor. What else can there be knots that cannot be opened?

My mother also came up to greet her. After waiting for a while, my father also came up and greeted her with a slight and nonchalant word.

In fact, the reason for the two brothers' holidays was to have a son. The eldest brother mobilized three sons in one go. The old man liked grandchildren, so the eldest family occupied the ancestral house and asked Fang Donghua to take his wife and two daughters to the second team of Xinqiao below to start a new job. It's okay. When the family was separated, the old man became partial again. Ten percent of the things, the three daughters each accounted for 10%, Fang Donghua only got 20%, and the remaining 50% of them belonged to the boss.

To sum up, it is actually something that is a matter of scattered meat, but because both brothers are both very proud of their face, more than ten years have passed, but the relationship has not been eased. Another reason is that both families are poor and none of them are stronger.

But now it’s different. Fang Dajun suddenly sent a gang to the commune secretary and became a fucking friend. He was about to start a cement factory. The eldest brother Fang Dongcheng and his wife also pulled down their faces and ran to the door.

"Minggen, Juanzi is not calling someone quickly." Fang Dongcheng scolded.

The brother and sister immediately shouted, "Uncle II, hello, Sister Yan Zi, Da Jun..."

The fourth master with high seniority also came out to smooth things over. Dajun had promised to build a worker quota for his youngest son Fang Dong. The old man said he had to take partiality, so he criticized him on the spot, "Dongcheng, the fourth master has to say a few words today. My second brother left early. You are the eldest, so you have to take good care of this family. But look at what you have done over the years. I don't know how to come to my younger brother's house during festivals.

The last time the army entered the hospital, you didn't come. Is there anyone like you who is like the uncle? There is also Baihua (aunt), you are the eldest daughter-in-law, don't be so tight (stingy), Dongcheng is a big man who doesn't understand these things, don't you understand that you can't do this again in the future with the Donghua family.

Now our old Fang family and Secretary Wang have become kids. You brothers have become like this. Isn’t it a joke if it is spreading?"

The old man's speaking skills are really not low, and he said directly that Fang Dongcheng and his wife couldn't raise their heads.

Fang Dong was in trouble and said with a stern tongue: "Donghua, I'm sorry for these years."

Fang Donghua is not a stingy person. He used to be unable to hide his face, but now he has a step forward and then said, "Brother, I have also made mistakes over the years."

"Haha, okay, okay, just open it. Go to the commune quickly, don't let Secretary Wang wait in a hurry." The old man said happily.

Fang Dajun was a little confused, mainly because he didn't know the contradictions here. If he had to, it would be a good thing to reconcile.

Then the whole family headed towards the commune in a vast way. On the road, they met many villagers who were going to the market. Of course, they had to say hello. Everyone knew that he was going to pay tribute to the insurance today, and this matter had spread in the commune.

He has made enough money for his face, but he doesn't want to make money in this way, it's not glorious!

After rushing all the way to the commune, there was a bit of noise, and Wang Hongwen and his wife were waiting at the door.

"Dajun, come here!" Yang Chuntao shouted happily. Apart from other factors, she really likes Dajun and can afford Dajun's godmother at her age.

"Preserve!" Fang Dajun blurted out that the gift was a bridge to bring closer relationships. A bicycle really touched him. Although it seemed spineless, he was not a saint.

Today, there is no one in the commune except the couple, and even chef Dong Chuncheng has gone home.

After a while, his mother, aunt and Yang Chuntao started working together in the kitchen. Uncle Fang Dongcheng rushed to kill the chicken. Several men helped the sacrifice. As for the children, they were casual. The round table in the cafeteria was filled with snacks. At first, the children were a little timid, but as Fang Dajun grabbed things and ate them randomly, they gradually became active. There were a lot of good things on the table. Yang Chuntao spent a lot of effort and went to the town to purchase them the day before yesterday.

After the rooster is slaughtered, you have to put chopsticks in place to straighten the chicken's head and lift it up. Then put it in the pot and cook until it is 70 to 80% mature. Put the whole chicken in a basin so that the rooster keeps its head raised.

There is also a piece of pork butt meat with skin, which is cooked to a maximum of 70% or 80% and a glass of strong wine. This is what the priest calls “toast on the knife”.

In the middle of Shu, when relatives hold sacrificial rituals, they put undercooked pork or smoked bacon in pottery bowls and place them in front of incense to worship. Commonly known as the knife head, it is a must-have item during the sacrifice every year. The knife head is made of two knife meat, that is, the piece of meat close to the back leg after removing the pig's tail. In the past, some poor families would use tofu instead.

The rest of the fragrant wax paper candles are naturally indispensable. The paper is yellow paper, but after purchasing it, it must be cut into rectangles. It also needs to be marked with "iron coin claws". The shape is like a "c" shape, and it is full in rows, with a little spacing in the middle. According to local customs, it is believed that only the yellow paper with marked stamps can be used when it reaches the underworld.

Jiaoshan is remote, and the feudal superstition is extremely strong. There are many rules with superstition. Fang Dajun has also passively received many of them. Believe it well or not, because superstition is also part of the tradition. To borrow a sentence: "The nation is the world."

The incense table has been placed on it, but in fact, two long benches are placed together, with the rooster holding its head, the knife head meat, and a bucket of fruit on it. The orientation of the bench is outside the gate, and the direction is not negligible, and you can just lean against the peach house.

The commune did not have a peach house, so it chose to choose the office building in the middle outside. In front of the bench, there were two banana festivals. This was used to insert red candles and incense. Two candles were inserted, and three incense were selected, and they had already lit it.

During the usual sacrifice, women should avoid it and should not get close. At most, they would come and "bow" when they were almost finished, and then they would have to dodge. The so-called bowing was not the kind of bowing in ancient times, but the Buddhist hands clasped together and bent down and bowed three times in a row. This is considered a combination of Taoism and Buddhism, and it is not authentic, but it is a local custom.

At this time, the fourth master with white hair walked up, holding a stack of yellow paper in his hand, and began to chant, "Now there is Fang Jiadong generation, Fang Dajun, son of Fang Donghua. He worships Yang Chuntao, a generation of Yang Jiachun generation, to protect the protection, please ask all ancestors and ancestors..."

Fang Dajun couldn't hear what he said afterwards. The fourth master was chanting the prayer, but he didn't stop and tore a stack of yellow paper open. Because the paper was a "iron coin claw" that was overlapped and stuck together. It had to be torn one by one to facilitate burning, and it was also a respect for ancestors.

The fourth master followed the torn yellow paper on the candle. Be careful at this time and must not run to the front of the fire to avoid rushing to the ancestors.

At this time, the person involved, Yang Chuntao, also prayed with yellow paper. No wonder today, Wang Hongwen's identity is sensitive, and it is not good to spread the superstition in public.

Yang Chuntao specifically asked Mr. Feng Shui in advance, and he was very good at acting at this time, and finally lit the yellow paper on his hand.

This step is to tell the ancestors on both sides and the gods in the sky to know about this matter, so Fang Dajun said that worshiping Baobao was formal, and the power of sacrifice was sometimes greater than that of the legal provisions.

Then the other relatives and family members can come to burn yellow paper. When the flames are about to go out, pour the strong wine on them and the sacrifice is completed.

There are three sacrifices for ordinary families: one is Guanyin Bodhisattva and ancestors worshipped on the wall in the main hall; the second is to worship the Kitchen God Bodhisattva in front of the kitchen stove to bless sufficient food; the third is to worship the other gods and Buddhas outside the peach house, and burn a pile of paper money on the edge of the dam to worship the passing souls...

I originally should have chosen to be inside the Tao House today, but the conditions here do not allow it, so I moved outside the gate.

Also, today, Fang Dajun should have been handed over from his mother's arms to Yang Chuntao's arms. This was the completion of the ceremony. However, he was already a "big baby" and could not hold it anymore. So, the mother held him and handed his hand over to Yang Chuntao to hold it.

Then Yang Chuntao gave him a pair of bowls, chopsticks and new clothes. Both families passed red envelopes to each other, received large red envelopes, and sent back small red envelopes. Under the witness of their relatives, the gift was finished!

Finally it's OK. Now I will cut the "knife meat" into a dish and eat it. The chicken will naturally be eaten. It is not beyond the reach of the offerings in the temple. Most of the offerings in the temple have been eaten by monks.

When the food is served, a string of firecrackers must be set up to represent the festive season. Relatives from both sides will enter the table together and have a delicious meal from "guaranteed" the family. In the future, they will often walk around each other during festivals. Over time, the family affection between the two families will last for a long time!

After experiencing this, Fang Dajun found it very interesting. Later generations of neighbors in the city were closed and there were few familiarity with each other. Children were also only children. Recognizing such a formal family is equivalent to having a close relative, which is actually very good!
