    ? On New Year¡¯s Eve, thousands of houses are brightly lit.

    After returning from Hongshan Town, Xu Yishan didn't go anywhere, spending the long night alone at home.

    He had never felt like a night was that long.  When a person is completely in a lonely and quiet environment, his thoughts will also stop.

    He tried hard to recall the experience of this year, but he always felt that everything had become so blurred.  It seems like yesterday, and it seems like a lifetime away.

    He didn't even have the thought of turning on the TV, because he knew that all the channels at the moment were a sea of ??joy.

    He can't be happy.

    Just after twelve o'clock midnight, New Year's greeting messages flooded in.

    The phone ticked, and the first text message of New Year's greetings was actually sent by Xiao Kuang.

    Immediately afterwards, a text message from my younger sister Xu Xiu arrived.

    He flipped through the text messages, a smile appeared on his face, and his mood began to improve a lot.

    New Year's Eve is the only day for everyone to let go of their grievances and grudges.  Everyone has a beautiful wish in their hearts, looking forward to the new year, when all the bad things can be taken away, and the days full of hope and happiness will come as promised in the new year.

    Ten minutes later, he received a text message from Chen Xiaoqi.

    "Yishan, Happy New Year!" With just a few words, Xu Yishan seemed to see Chen Xiaoqi's pretty face.

    Without hesitation, he immediately sent back a message, "Honey, Happy New Year!"

    Chen Xiaoqi came back with a smiling face.

    Xu Yishan went back and gave him a hug.

    The phone returned to calm.

    Just when Xu Yishan thought that Chen Xiaoqi would not reply to the message again, she suddenly sent a sentence: "We will go back to Maoshan on the third day of the Lunar New Year."

    Chen Xiaoqi is coming back, and it is still "us".  "who are we?  She, Liu Mei, Meng Meng?  Or is Show all back?

    Xu Yishan was so excited by the good news that he couldn't sit still anymore.  Chen Xiaoqi is coming back, how exciting it is.

    He took a closer look at the room, fearing that the mess would disgust Chen Xiaoqi, who is obsessed with cleanliness.

    He didn't let out a sigh of satisfaction until he was sure everything was perfect.

    A text message from Chen Xiaoqi made him quickly work out a schedule.

    ? On the first day of the new year, I went back to my hometown to pay New Year's greetings to my parents, because I was a baby on the first day of the new year.

    ? On the second day of the new year, I went to Chen Xiaoqi's house to pay New Year's greetings to Director Chen Yong and Deputy Director Zeng Zhen.  Lang on Maoshan's side is synonymous with son-in-law.

    When Chen Xiaoqi came back from the third day of junior high school, she arranged the rest of the time.

    He chuckled, the upcoming happiness filled his heart with sweetness.

    Early the next morning, he hurriedly washed up, and then drove back to Gushan Town in Baiyu's car.

    The New Year's Eve atmosphere in Xujia Village was warm and jubilant, and Xu Yishan's memory of the New Year's Eve scene in his hometown was still fresh.

    There is a custom in Xujia Village. Every year on New Year's Eve, every household in the village will bring three animals and incense paper candles to a small temple outside the village to worship the gods.

    The small temple enshrines not Buddha or Avalokitesvara, but a little-known little figure, whom the villagers call "the great king".

    The past life of this great king is completely documented in history.

    It is said that after the Mongolian conquest of the Central Plains, in order to prevent the Han people from rebelling, the Mongols not only confiscated the kitchen knives of every household, but also stationed a Mongol in every village.

    No one can tell exactly what the Mongolians in Xujia Village are called.  All I know is that he has five brothers who live in five villages around him.

    At that time, the common people called the Mongols "Tartars".  Later, there is a story that many people are familiar with, that is, the story of killing Tartars on August 15th.

    At that time, the Tartars stationed in Xujia Village were the victims of this uprising.

    Originally, after a person dies, everything disappears.

    However, his five brothers in Xujiacun and the surrounding villages seemed to appear after death, causing unrest in the neighborhood and panic among the people.  Not only can people sleep and eat in peace, but even chickens, pigs and animals can't live in peace.

    Later, under the guidance of an expert, a temple was built for the Tartars and incense was offered.

    Xujia Village did as it said, and really built a small unguarded temple outside the village for incense.

    It's strange to say that since the temple was built for worship, there has been no abnormality.  The common people live and work in peace and contentment, and Qingtai is safe.

    Because they didn't know the names of the Tartars, after the temple was built, the villagers named the temple "Dawang Temple".

    From then on, every year on the New Year's Eve, every household in the whole village?Send a male to participate in the collective sacrifice to the Great King.

    Xu Yishan has participated in many times.

    On this day, Niang will prepare three sacrifices and order Xu Yishan to go to the temple to make a collective sacrifice.

    Dad Xu would not go barefoot, he said it was all superstition.  What lord?  It's just a "god" deliberately fabricated by the villagers in order to seek psychological comfort.

    Some people have questioned Xu Barefoot, there are so many gods, why create a god?

    Xu Barefoot snorted disdainfully, the Buddha Avalokitesvara is too far away, and the Buddha may not be able to come here if you ask for it.  It's better to create a close god, with a small place to manage.  If you ask God to bless you in this way, God can take care of it.

    Everyone in Xu's Village knew that apart from believing in his herbal medicine, Xu Bajiao never believed in the existence of ghosts and gods in the world.

    To celebrate the New Year in Xujia Village, in addition to collectively worshiping gods on New Year's Eve, Xujia Village also has a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years, that is, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers will gather in the old ancestral house and put a set of  The gongs and drums were moved out to beat.

    With the sound of gongs and drums, the excitement will come.

    There is a meaning of inheritance here. The males in Xujia Village can basically operate a musical instrument in the gongs and drums.  Xu Yishan, for example, can play drums proficiently.

    Sure enough, before people entered the village, their ears were already filled with the sound of gongs and drums.

    When returning home, one must pass by the door of the ancestral house.

    Xu Yishan looked back at the back seat of the car, and drove forward full of confidence.

    He prepared a few cigarettes in the car, which is the most basic etiquette.  He, Xu Yishan, is a cadre. When a cadre returns to the village, he has to recognize him.

    He stopped the car at the gate of the old ancestral house. When the villagers saw him coming back, they all gathered around and greeted him loudly.

    Xu Yishan responded while taking out the cigarettes in the car.

    According to the rules, one hand is enough.  But Xu Yishan is a cadre and married a beautiful woman, so of course he can't be the same as others.

    Therefore, every person he meets is a pack of cigarettes.

    The cigarettes that Xu Yishan brought back were high-grade cigarettes.  The price of a pack is at least twenty-five yuan.

    The folks happily took the cigarettes he handed over, and said nice words, and the whole party was having a good time.

    After smoking, Xu Yishan wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by someone: "Yishan, why didn't your wife come back to pay New Year's greetings?"

    Xu Yishan chuckled and said, "She's busy."

    "What are you busy with during the Chinese New Year?" The villagers smiled kindly and booed: "Yishan, you haven't invited us to a wedding wine since you got married, and you haven't spoken in front of the king yet."

    Xu Yishan's heart moved, and he remembered that there is indeed such a habit in the village. When anyone's family has a happy event, no matter whether it is red or white, they will go to the King's Temple to tell the Lord, so as to ensure that everything is safe.

    Although he and Chen Xiaoqi have registered, they haven't gone to the temple to report to the lord. This is disrespect to the lord.

    "You have to drink, just wait." Xu Yishan said with a smile: "The rules can't be broken."

    ?Everyone laughed and praised Xu Barefoot for being a cow, not only for raising a good son, but also for raising a daughter.

    Just as he was talking and laughing, he suddenly saw a person running towards this side, shouting: "It's terrible, it's terrible, something happened." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
