Dad: I will farm and raise children after quitting the circle

Chapter 170: Burning Paper
"Teacups, wine glasses, chopsticks, look carefully, are there any leaks?"

"Three teas, five wines, three pairs of chopsticks, all ready!"

"Incense and paper money, enough, don't forget to bring a lighter!"

"It's all there!"

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Qinghe was packing up his things and preparing to burn paper, but the old lady tirelessly reminded him that he was afraid that Su Qinghe might miss something.

Careless leaks of tea and wine cups and chopsticks are all too common. Apart from these small things, there are other things such as firecrackers, incense, paper money, and even the chicken that is the main sacrifice.

It all happened, especially during the Chinese New Year. Some people who came back late had to do hygiene and prepare burning paper. They were in a hurry, and it was finally their turn to put the tribute on the table. Then, I have to ask someone or go home to get it by myself, and make room for it.

Just as Su Qinghe was getting ready, Su Qinghai came in with a basket, "Brother, are you alright?"

"Okay!" Su Qinghe checked again worriedly, then closed the lid, looked at Su Xiaoting who was playing with the grapes as marbles with Xiaoguai, "Tingting, come with me to burn the paper."

"Oh!" Su Xiaoting glanced over and stopped playing immediately.

"Father~take me~" Xiao Guaiguai also rushed over and hugged Su Qinghe's thigh.

"Okay, let mom lead you." Su Qinghe didn't object, anyway, there was no need to set off firecrackers for burning paper during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xiao Guaiguai immediately ran to Bai Zhi's side, pulling Bai Zhi to go outside.

The ancestral hall in Shuangtang Village is not big, it is divided into the inner room and the outer room, the outer room is the place where worship is usually performed, and there are two Eight Immortals tables side by side for everyone to place sacrifices.

When Su Qinghe and others arrived, there were no other people in the ancestral hall. Looking at the incense and incense sticks in the censer, they were almost the last batch.

Seeing the censer, Xiao Guaiguai consciously moved away. She still remembered what Su Xiaoting said in the morning, that this thing would make her painful and ugly.

After laying out the offerings, pouring tea and wine, Su Qinghe counted out twelve sticks of incense. As for why there are twelve sticks, Su Qinghe doesn't know, but all the time, twelve sticks of sticks of incense are lit for burning paper in ancestral halls.

Su Qinghai's movements were faster than Su Qinghe's. When Su Qinghe was still lighting the incense, he had already bowed with the incense and muttered something.

"Old Ancestor Nunzu, Gods of Heaven and Earth, Great Gods of all walks of life, eight fathers and eight women, grandparents, grandparents, grandfathers, uncles and aunts, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-], [-]. There are three vegetarian dishes. Come back and drink Good night! May everything in our family go smoothly and everyone be healthy!"

Su Qinghe also lit the incense at this time, and handed the incense to Su Xiaoting, "You also take the incense and worship!"

Su Xiaoting can't be said to be young now. When Su Haiyan was her age, she would have killed chickens to burn paper.

Su Xiaoting hesitated, took it over, and asked, "Uncle Qinghe, do I have to read it like Uncle Qinghai? But I can't!"

Su Qinghe thought for a while and said, "Just call your ancestors, the gods of heaven and earth, grandpa and grandpa, just come back and drink late, remember?"

Su Xiaoting nodded, and read it in a low voice, Su Qinghe nodded to her to show that she was right, then Su Xiaoting held the incense in both hands, with a very serious face, bowed, read the words, and then inserted the incense.

Xiaoguaiguai has been very quiet all the time, staring at her father, uncle and sister curiously with big eyes, until Su Xiaoting went to the incense burner to put incense, she shouted anxiously: "Sister~pain~chouhou~"

"What's painful and ugly?" Bai Zhi shaves the face of Xiaoguai in amused manner.

Xiaoguaiguai pointed at the incense burner, and said with a pursed mouth: "Sister ~ say ~ pain ~ ugly ~"

After Bai Zhi thought about it for a while, she suddenly realized that Su Xiaoting also placed the incense and came back to Xiaoguaiguai, and she said to Xiaoguaiguai solemnly after she had just paid homage to her ancestors: "Sister, I worshiped my ancestors, and my ancestors will bless me! "

Xiao Guaiai blinked her big eyes, her little face was full of incomprehension.

"Old Ancestor Nen Ancestor...Grandfather, Grandfather, Grandfather, Parents..."

At this time, the sound of Su Qinghe's reciting words also sounded, Xiaoguai looked over, and then saw his father walking to the edge of the incense burner, he became even more anxious, and even forgot that he was actually more afraid, so he rushed up to grab his father .

"Dad~ Pain~ Ugly~"

Su Qinghe smiled dotingly and looked down at the little one at his feet, "Daddy is an adult, he will be very careful, obediently go to Mommy's side, okay?"

Guaiguai refused to leave, so Baizhi came to take Xiaoguaiguai away, "Guaiguai can't disturb Dad, it will be very bad!"

Having said that, Xiaoguaiguai was very unhappy, and pouted, "Guaiguai is very obedient~"

"Yes, darling is very good!" Su Qingchi echoed the little guaiguai, and waved at guaigai, "Come to third uncle, third uncle will teach you to worship your ancestors. Tingting, come here too, kneel three times and kowtow nine times, will you?"

"Yes!" Su Xiaoting immediately stepped forward, bowed down in a serious manner, and counted in a low voice.

I don't know if she is afraid that if she kneels less and knocks less, her ancestors will be dissatisfied.

The little boy probably thought it was interesting, so he also ran over, with his palms sticking together and bobbing up and down like a beckoning cat, with a charming naive look.

But if she wants to kneel down, she really doesn't know how to do it, so she can only perform her best butt squat for the ancestors.

Su Qinghai gave a thumbs up and commented with a smile: "The old ancestor laughed heartily when he saw it!"

The speaker had no intention of listening to the listener, Su Qinghe looked at the cute giggle of the little boy, and sighed heavily in his heart, if grandpa and parents were still there, seeing the little girl like this, he would definitely laugh so hard eyes.

Shaking his head to get rid of these thoughts in his mind, Su Qinghe added tea and wine for the second time.

According to the custom, the first time you pour tea and wine, burn incense and recite words, please the ancestor gods and Buddhas; the second time you add tea and wine, worship the ancestors gods and Buddhas;After finishing, the tea and wine can be brought to the ground, and we can pack up our things and go home.

This is the second time to add tea and wine, Su Qinghe waved his hands and bowed before returning to the case.Burning paper is frequent, and there are no strict requirements for three kneeling and nine knocking. Generally, it is done with courtesy and sincerity.Tomb-sweeping on Qingming Festival, Chongyang Festival or grand sacrifices, adults only kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to salute.

As for the children, no matter how big or small the ceremony is, the adults will usually ask them to give a grand ceremony, after all, this is how the adults came here when they were young.

"Sister, let me teach you how to pray!" Su Xiaoting saw Xiao Guaiguai sitting silly on the ground, so she volunteered to teach Xiao Guaiguai to kneel three times and knock nine times.

But helplessly, the little boy really doesn't know how to kneel, so he can only support the ground with both hands, his short legs are straightened, and his buttocks are raised high.

After repeated training failures, Su Xiaoting had no choice but to give up, "Sister, I will teach you when you grow up, you are still too young."

Xiao Guaiguai didn't know what she was talking about, but only knew that the game her sister played with her just now was not fun at all. Seeing that her sister stopped playing this game with her, she stood up and grinned, and went to the back room while the adults were not paying attention run away.
