Chapter 168 New Year's Eve Ancestor Worship
In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year is here.

Before the New Year, An Jianguo and his companions rushed back from Fengyin Bay.

However, in Shuncheng, those who should be busy are still busy.

An Songyu also felt quite impressed.

If people were forced to work until New Year’s Eve in the future, I wonder how many people would fire their bosses in a matter of seconds.

But now, many people are eager to make one more day's money.

After all, the salary that An Songyu's family originally paid was not low in the surrounding villages.

And never in arrears.

I even went to the wholesale market before the New Year and brought back a truckload of stuff to give out New Year gifts to everyone.

But even if everyone wants to continue.

By the 28th, everyone who was supposed to have a holiday had already done so.

Today, the 29th day of the lunar year is New Year's Eve.

After discussing it, the entire An family gathered at An Songyu's house to celebrate the New Year.

After the reunion dinner, everyone has to set off back to the village immediately.

Ancestor worship on New Year’s Eve is an indispensable custom in Jiangcun every year.

But in the past, each household would worship their own ancestors.

Today, the entire village will go back to the brigade headquarters to pay homage.

The process is naturally more complicated and grand than before.

Although the ancestral hall in Jiangcun is divided into two sides, the preparations for ancestor worship are exactly the same.

By the time An Songyu and his family arrived.

The hill of graves near the brigade headquarters was already filled with cars from all directions.

An Songyu was there with several of her sisters.

An Songlin took his younger brothers to the other side.

However, there was one person among them who was quite discordant.

An Songyu pulled An Songyue, who was full of disgust, and stopped her from looking at An Songshu's annoying appearance.

He is now practicing the meaning of Shi Quan with his own actions... He is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han!

What made the An family look particularly unhappy today was that Jiang Wenyin, who was supposed to be with Bi Lizhu and the others, was now in the Jiang family ancestral hall next door.

Thinking about how this couple was absent when the whole family had a reunion dinner together at noon today, An Songyu really didn't know how to comment on it.

To be honest, the past twenty years or so of experience have taught An Songyu a lot.

But there are also many things that An Songyu has never experienced before.

Just like the whole family acting together in front of us.

In the past future, An Songyu is now in Nanshi.

And for a long time afterwards, the young couple lived there with their children.

Only occasionally would my wife's family and my husband's family come to stay.

Things like the whole family getting together to have a reunion dinner, and the whole village coming together to worship their ancestors.

An Songyu knew that this had happened many times.

Not to mention her, even An Songxiang, who was not married at that time, rarely participated in it.

On the other hand, An Jianping and his wife, and the young couple An Songlin, are almost always present every year.

Even after returning from ancestor worship, they rarely mentioned it in front of their families.

Now, An Songyu finally knew some of the reasons.

Not to mention An Songshu and his wife, they probably have a lot of trouble every year.

Just look at all the nice cars parked inside and outside.

And the amount of money that everyone talks about.

I guess every year when this happens, An Jianping and his friends will suffer a certain blow!
How could I be willing to go home and let the children who had barely escaped the disaster experience it again?

This year's activities in the ancestral hall are grand and long.

It seems to be telling the ancestors that their descendants are getting better and better.

After finally exiting the ancestral hall, they were finally able to move freely. However, today's ancestral worship was not the end.

An Songyu and his family stood in front of the graves of his great-grandparents, burning specially customized carriages, mansions and gorgeous clothes.

There were even two boys and a girl.

I don’t know what I can do for the old man if he really burns out.
After leaving the graves of their great-grandparents, they did not leave immediately.

In addition to paying homage to ancestors of higher generations.

I also went to pay my respects to some other elders in the tribe.

An Songyu looked carefully and found that some of them no longer had descendants to offer sacrifices to them.

This can be considered as a worship ceremony by the entire clan.

Some are heroes.

As fellow tribesmen, they naturally cannot let the hero be forgotten.

An Songyu followed the younger generations and paid homage very seriously.

Even after everyone has finished their worship, today's ancestor worship activities are not considered complete.

All the people in Jiangcun began to discuss excitedly.

The people from Jiangcun will get together later.

Since everyone moved out of Jiangcun, many people in Jiangcun have not had a proper gathering.

On the way back, the families were no longer separated like when we came.

Instead, people who knew each other made an appointment to get together and sat in different cars.

When An Songyu was pulled away by Sister Yun.

Seeing the person who came to look for my aunt being directly pulled into my parents' car, I felt a little relieved.

As soon as she got into the car with Sister Yun and her husband, she couldn't wait to ask:
"I heard that you are already preparing to build on the land in Fengyin Bay?"

An Songyu smiled and nodded. She remembered the situation of the land next door last time she went there, and couldn't help asking:

"So it seems like the foundation of your land is already completed?"

"Yes!" Although Sister Yun had never been to the Fengyin Bay project, she was very clear about its progress.

"However, the houses over there don't have basements, and they're only built six stories, so naturally it will be faster."

An Songyu was not surprised by this.

Just this year, relevant regulations were clearly put forward.

Buildings with seven floors or more must install indoor elevators.

An Songyu only found out about this when he went to handle the procedures for Fengyin Bay.

Although Sister Yun and her family completed the procedures for their land earlier than them, they still cannot avoid this problem.

As for building an underground parking lot...

If it weren’t for the second half of this year, there would have been several large-scale projects launched in Fengyin Bay.

I guess everyone will be shocked when An Songyu applies!

However, the two floors below their land are commercial buildings, so it is not surprising that they require an underground parking lot.

Although Sister Yun knew the difference, she didn't know too many details.

So after chatting casually with An Songyu about the time when they started work in Fengyin Bay, they began to gossip about the situation in Jiangcun.

Although An Songyu's busy time did not last too long.

But for the people of Jiangcun who moved to Xinlin Village, it seems that there are obvious changes every day.

Just like where they are going now.

It is the first food stall opened by people from Jiangcun.

Moreover, the location of the food stall is not near Xinlin Village.

Followed by a long line of cars.

The food stall that was closed on purpose tonight became lively again after the arrival of its owner.

But today, the food stalls are not for the business of Jiangcun people.

Instead, it provides a gathering place for the people of Jiangcun who have no place to gather.
