Chapter 267 Chinese New Year 2

"My head still hurts a little. I'm getting older and it's getting worse. Even after drinking a little bit of wine, it's like this. I can't stand it anymore!" Li Kaiming frowned tightly, and his temples on both sides were still aching.

Li Kainian was not much better, "My head hurts too much. I won't dare to drink like this next time."

"It's the Chinese New Year, it's not good to feel uncomfortable." Li Jianguo looked at the faces of the two people and couldn't help but worry.

"Perhaps it will be fine soon. Shuzhi, Shuli, come to pay New Year greetings to my great-grandfather." Li Kaiming endured the discomfort and waved to his grandchildren.

Li Shuzhi, Li Shuli, Li Shuming, and Li Shuyi came together, clasping their hands together and bowing, "Happy New Year to my great-grandfather, Happy New Year to my second ancestor, and Happy New Year to my third ancestor. I wish you good health and all the best in the coming year."

"Oh, okay, okay, if I have a great-grandson, my headache will be better." Li Kaiming laughed and took out a few red envelopes from his body and handed them to them, "Here, take them, one for each person."

"Thank you, great-grandfather." The four boys smiled broadly as they took the red envelopes. Where was the frustration from before?

Li Kainian and Li Kaiguo also gave red envelopes one after another. Several boys gathered around the grandfathers and fathers and bowed down, and received a lot of red envelopes.

When they arrived at Li Chenzhou's place, the four boys paused for a moment. Li Shuzhi turned around and asked, "Dad, my cousin is also an elder. Do we want to pay New Year's greetings?"

"Oh, hahahaha." Several old people laughed and laughed even more. Seeing that Li Chenzhou looked embarrassed, they laughed even more.

Li Wenlin couldn't stop laughing, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Bye! Why not? At least I can get an extra red envelope."

"Yes, dad/uncle."

The boys agreed quickly, turned around and bowed to Li Chenzhou, "Auntie, happy New Year, please give me a red envelope."

"Hey, these guys even know how to ask for red envelopes." Xu Liang yelled from the side, "Zhouzhou! You have to give red envelopes. Look, your nephews are looking at you."

What a bunch of naughty kids.

Li Chenzhou had the illusion that she was being stabbed, but she did not prepare a red envelope; according to common etiquette, unmarried women and men were not required to give red envelopes to their juniors. However, they all asked questions, and she could not ignore them.

arrive.

Li Chenzhou took out four big unity cards from his pocket and stuffed some into each of them, "Take them to buy candies!"

"Hey, our Zhouzhou is still a little rich woman! It's only ten yuan per person. You guys have lived a fat year." Xu Liang teased.

The boys were also overjoyed, "Thank you, cousin."

The heat on Li Chenzhou's face dropped a little. This matter was such a big deal that it would be embarrassing if there was no space and no money on him.

Li Chenzhou took the initiative to help Xu Hongqi scoop out dumplings and glutinous rice balls for everyone. Everyone chose their own, and then scooped them out after choosing. Then he asked Li Shuzhi and other children to deliver them to each adult.

Seeing the children running around, the adults were also happy.

After sitting down, Xu Hongqi gave Li Chenzhou a red envelope, "Zhouzhou, this is given to you by my aunt. It's the Chinese New Year and you are still a child. You were not at home for the past ten years. These are the things my aunt gave you in the past ten years."

I’ll give you the New Year’s money I saved. I’ll give it to you in one lump sum this time. When we go back, you can buy whatever you want.”

"Auntie, I'm already old." Li Chenzhou frowned and looked at her in embarrassment.

"Take what Auntie gives you. No matter how old you are, you are still a child in Auntie's eyes." Xu Hongqi stuffed it into her pocket, "Besides, you are not married yet, so you should receive the red envelope."

Li Chenzhou didn't refuse too much and seemed pretentious, "Thank you, auntie."

"You're still polite to your eldest aunt." Xu Hongqi glared at her and picked up chopsticks to eat dumplings.

Tian Linglong, Xu Liang, and Yun Xiangchun saw their actions and took out a red envelope from their pockets and handed it to her, "Zhouzhou, this is the new year's money we gave you; you haven't come back for more than ten years.

, we also gave you your lucky money, and when we came back this time, we put it all in at once."

"Yes! We haven't come back before, and we have been talking about you. I wanted to give you a red envelope just now, but I never got around to it," Xu Liang said aside.

Yun Xiangchun smiled and nodded, "This is all given by us aunts and aunts, but we can't refuse it. The New Year's money is a celebration, so we can't push it away."

"Then thank you, aunt and aunties." Li Chenzhou didn't show any pretense and accepted it easily.

Tian Linglong and the other three smiled with satisfaction, "That's right, come and eat dumplings; yesterday we made vegetarian dumplings, pork and mushroom dumplings, leek stuffing, and sauerkraut stuffing. By the way, I also made some bread in them."

A small piece of silver, let’s see who among you can take it!”

"Then let's eat and see who can get a year of good luck."

The men's table also became interested, and people at both tables were busy eating; it's not that they want to eat it in their mouths, but it's best to have it in their mouths, and don't force it if they can't, just to be happy and festive.

"Ouch!!"

Everyone stopped their chopsticks in unison and looked at Li Kaiming.

Li Kaiming covered his cheek and spat out the stuff that was in his mouth. The money fell to the ground with a dull thud, "My teeth have really suffered a lot."

"Hahaha"

Li Kaiguo and Li Kainian laughed heartily, "Brother! You have received good luck and have been complained about. Put your money away and you will have good luck in the coming year."

Li Mingyuan and others also couldn't stop laughing and congratulated each other.

Li Chenzhou pursed his lips and smiled, lowered his head and continued eating.

After the family had breakfast, they went from house to house to pay New Year greetings. By the time they visited every house in the village, it was already two hours later.

Carrying firecrackers and incense paper money to hang the graves, there are many cemeteries in the family area; they are all buried people of Lijia Village, but each family only pays tribute to the deceased elders of the family.

There are fifteen elders who are closer here, that is, fifteen tombs; these fifteen tombs are good and bad, including stone tombs, large tombs, and earthen tombs.

The fifteen tombs are concentrated together, so just light incense and light firecrackers one by one.

In just half an hour, all fifteen tombs were hung. Li Chenzhou followed the three old men back to his house. Li Kaiming waved to Li Chenzhou, "Girl Chenzhou, come with us."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chenzhou realized that this was for her to pay homage to her ancestors; the visit to the graves had been completed, and that was to see the family ranking and recognize the family members.

The three old men took Li Chenzhou into the ancestral hall of their family. There were many rankings in the ancestral hall; however, it was so long ago that the three old men could no longer remember them clearly. They only knew that these rankings were regularly maintained every year.

Li Kaiming laid out the tributes, lit incense candles, held them in his hands and prayed, "My ancestors are on high, and my descendant Li Chenzhou who is currently living abroad has returned to the family. I came here to offer incense to inform you."

"Girl Shenzhou, come and offer incense to our ancestors." Li Kaiming inserted the incense candle into the incense burner and took a step back.

Li Chenzhou lit the incense candle and bowed three times to the throne, "My ancestors are on top. Li Chenzhou, an unworthy descendant, has returned to the family for many years. I have just come to worship my ancestors for the first time. Please forgive me for being disrespectful to my unworthy descendants."

Put in the incense candles and the worship is completed.
