Chapter 604 Quickly strike back
"Fifth Master, I am the director of a hospital. Those administrative levels and so on are really meaningless! No matter how I am outside, when I return to the village, I only have one identity, the child of the Zhang family.
So, you asked me to go up front, this is not suitable!" Zhang Yan was very sober. This was not the time to show off.
This is not an era where you can show off.
It's better to be a little low-key.
Seeing Zhang Yan's firm eyes, the fifth master smiled, "Okay! Since you don't want to go ahead, then follow behind!"
"Thank you, Master Wu! Thank you for your kindness, I'll go first and then." Zhang Yan said hello, turned around and retreated to the back, in the "Zi" team.
At the front is the fifth master and the old men in the village, and Zhang Yan's grandfather is also inside.
Behind them are Zhang Fusheng's generation and the Fu generation.
Zhang Yan is from the "Zi" generation and is ranked third.
Later on, there are the Tong generation and the De generation.
However, the De generation is still too young and did not come to attend the grave to worship ancestors today.
A group of people lined up in an orderly manner to the Zhang family's ancestral tomb.
The most conspicuous, tallest and most luxuriously repaired is the ancestor of their Zhang family, which is the tomb of Zhang Guangyong, the guard of Lin Zexu.
In total, it should be Zhang Yan's great-grandfather and Zhang Yan's Tianzu Grandfather.
To give a popular science, the rankings in China are: father, ancestral tomb, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, Tianzu, Liezu, Taizu, distant ancestor, and ancestor.
The following are: son, grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson, laissezun, younger grandson, naissun, Yunsun, and Ersun.
Further down is what Yu Qian said: Tiliu Sun, Sun Mozi.
Around the tall tomb of Grandpa Tianzu, there are six smaller tombs.
These smaller tombs are the concubines of Grandpa Tianzu. Tianzu married the concubines of the sixth house in his life. In addition, the grandmother of Tianzu who was buried with Tianzu in the ancestral tomb, Tianzu was also considered to be three wives and four concubines.
This is how a large family like the Zhang family grew up.
He arranged tribute to Grandpa Tianzu in a regular manner and lit incense candles.
Then the crowd knelt down, and the fifth master knelt in front, muttering the memorial poems. It was nothing more than the situation of the Zhang family this year, and how many people have been added and what achievements have been achieved.
Zhang Yan had good ears. Although he knelt in the third row, he still heard his name and the second uncle's name from the fifth master.
It can be seen that he and the second uncle were proud in the eyes of the fifth master and the people of the tribe.
It is the pride that needs to be reported to our ancestors.
After reading the memorial poem, it was burning paper, and then the fifth master took the lead in kowtowing to Grandpa Tianzu, Grandma Tianzu and the concubines of Grandpa Tianzu.
After this wave was completed, everyone separated and under the leadership of the Yu generation, they burned incense and kowtow to the elders of each of the large generation.
Then they separated again and burned incense and kowtow to the elders of the Qing generation, who were Zhang Yan's great-grandfather. ωωw..net
Then, Zhang Yan burned incense and kowtowed to his grandmother.
It was not until this time that visiting the grave and worshiping ancestors was completed.
The whole process was very solemn and quiet. So the seven or eight-year-old children dared not make noise. Everyone kept silent and went on in an orderly manner.
On the way back, everyone remained silent, and even when someone spoke, they were communicating in a low voice.
"Boy Yan, go to my house later!" When the fifth master walked into the village, he said to Zhang Yan.
"If you don't say it, I have to go over and wish you a happy new year in advance!" Zhang Yan replied with a smile.
"Okay! Let's have some fun together at noon!" said the fifth master happily.
"Fifth brother, this is my grandson. It's ready at noon. Why don't you come to eat at home too!" Zhang Yan's grandfather said.
"Old Eighth, I know it's your grandson. I won't snatch it with you. I'll have some wine at noon. Let's talk about something!" The fifth master said with a smile.
Zhang Yanxian followed his grandfather back home. Visiting graves during the New Year was different from other times.
At other times, you cannot go home directly when visiting the grave. You have to stay in a lively place for a while before you can go home.
When visiting graves during the New Year, you cannot go anywhere else, you have to go home directly.
Because, when you visit graves, you cannot go home because you are afraid of bringing some things home.
When visiting the grave during the New Year, we invite our ancestors to go home for the New Year. If we don’t go home, our ancestors will easily get lost and cannot find their home.
"Yanzi, your fifth master is looking for you, and it must be for the sake of the village. You have a clear idea. You should help you, and you shouldn't help you. If you are embarrassed, don't make promises." Zhang Yan's grandfather reminded.
"I know, I know it!" Zhang Yan replied with a smile.
"You have the ability to help the villagers. This is great, but you should also be careful not to affect yourself by helping the villagers.
That way, it's putting the cart before the horse.
As long as you are in that position, even if you don’t help the village, the villagers will respect you and respect me very much.”
"Grandpa I know! I didn't help the village, I just arranged a few jobs, and that's what they can do.
I won’t take my own money or risk my discipline to help the village.
If it's life-saving matter, let's say something else."
"Okay, I'll be relieved if you think so!" Zhang Yan's grandfather stroked his beard and smiled happily.
The most proud thing he has in his life is to have an awesome son and an equally awesome grandson.
Walking in the village, no one can stand firm when they see him, and he respectfully called Uncle Ba/Master Ba.
After chatting with my grandfather for a while, Zhang Yan took two bottles of wine and went to the fifth master's house.
When he arrived at Wu Ye’s house, Wu Ye had indeed prepared the meal.
Very rich, four cold and four hot, eight dishes.
"Fifth Master, you really make me feel flattered!" Zhang Yan said with a smile at the dishes on the table.
"Haha! This is your treatment!" The fifth master sat on the kang and waved to Zhang Yan, "Come on the kang!"
"Oh!" Zhang Yan agreed, put the wine aside, then took off his shoes and went to the kang.
In Guo Degang's words, going to the kang is a very high etiquette for valets.
In fact, in this era, rural areas in the north were burning fire pits, and most of the guests were entertained on the kang.
After all, in this era, the temperature in Beijing was not much different from that in Liaoning in later generations.
"Boy Yan, I have to thank you very much. You saved the lives of the whole village!" The fifth master picked up a bottle of wine without a label and poured wine for Zhang Yan.
"Fifth Master, how did this make me? Aren't you ruining me?" Zhang Yan quickly took the wine bottle, first filled it with the fifth Master, then filled it with Zhang Fuyi, and finally poured wine for himself.
At today's banquet, there was no outsider, just the fifth father and son plus Zhang Yan.
"It was not until the pumpkin harvest that we realized your intentions were good!" Wu Master sighed.
"Fifth Master, you have been awarded. I just wanted to help the village. I just happened to have a little power. This pumpkin is also a medicinal material and can be used in our hospital." Zhang Yan firmly refused to admit that he had foresight, so he let the villagers have race
Pumpkin's.
