Chapter 293 Returning to One’s Roots! [1]
It was late at night.
With the help of Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong, Yang Ming took a comfortable hot bath and changed his dirty clothes.
In Yang Ming's opinion, this was a set of clothes with great significance and value. When the village woman outside the door was about to wash it for Yang Ming, Yang Ming said, "Auntie, no need to wash it."
Let Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong take it away.
After Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, and the village woman left.
Yang Ming sat in the room by himself.
. . .
A living room in Weilong House.
Chen Bo, Song Shaoguang, Yang Jirong and his wife, Yang Shuhai and other elders of Sanjiaotang were discussing about Yang Ming's recognition of his ancestors.
This was also the first priority for Yang Ming when he returned to his hometown.
Only by recognizing his ancestors and adding them to the genealogy of the Yang clan, Yang Ming could truly be considered a member of the Yang family here.
For these, the Yang clan in Longchuan County and the elders of the Yang clan in Sanjiaotang attached great importance to them.
In addition to Yang Ming's identity, they are also aware of the importance of Yang Ming's return to his ancestral home.
"Uncle Chen, Professor Song, in addition to choosing an auspicious day for ancestral home, we also need to discuss the local ancestral home ceremony and customs."
The ceremony of Hakka people ancestral home is very complicated.
Especially in ancient times, it was more complicated. In modern times, it has been deleted a lot.
However, because Yang Ming's identity is not simple, they think they should pay more attention to it. The so-called attention actually means that the ceremony is complicated, so complicated that many people don't know what the whole process is like.
Then this requires the Yang clan and the Yang elders to come and personally guide and help.
Like these Yang Jirong and his wife naturally don't understand. Uncle Chen and Song Shaoguang are in Hong Kong. Although they have been exposed to some ceremonies of Hong Kong Hakka people, they don't understand what they are talking about now.
However, they have to cooperate with the auspicious day and time they have calculated, and there must be no problems in any process.
Now, Uncle Chen and Song Shaoguang have calculated the dates for Yang Ming and Yang Jirong to return to their ancestral home according to their birth dates, as well as the location of Sanjiaotang.
They are January 4, January 7, January 10, January 19, etc., 1979.
Some of the auspicious dates calculated by Uncle Chen and Song Shaoguang are the same, and some are different.
Why is that?
It's because the two factions are different.
However, on the whole, some of the favorable and unfavorable things are similar.
In this case, the auspicious days and times calculated by the two people are not much different.
Yang Jirong and his wife know that Yang Ming's return to his ancestral home is only the first step, and there will be tomb sweeping and even tomb relocation.
Moreover, it can't be delayed too long.
This time, he will stay until the Spring Festival at most, which is about a month.
If the time chosen for returning to the ancestral home is too long, it will take more time, and the others will be delayed later.
Before Yang Ming came back, Yang Shuhai and the Yang clan members knew that Yang Ming would definitely return to his ancestral home.
If he didn't return to his ancestral home, they would be very disappointed.
Before Yang Ming came back, they had prepared everything in advance, and even prepared to slaughter three fat pigs to worship heaven and earth, and the Yang clan members would witness Mr. Yang's return to his hometown to return to his ancestral home.
It's different for big people. Mr. Yang's identity is doomed now. Even if he returns to his ancestral home, it must be very complicated, not hastily held, a simple ceremony will do.
This even needs to be recorded in detail in the clan genealogy and the county annals of Longchuan County, which must not be sloppy.
Chen Bo, Song Shaoguang, Yang Jirong, Li Yufang, Yang Shuhai and these Yang clan members discussed until midnight.
In the end, Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang thought that it would be most appropriate to hold it tomorrow.
In that case, then tomorrow.
Although Yang Jirong and his wife were also very tired and exhausted today, the couple were really happy.
When the couple returned to their room, Yang Shuhai and others were still discussing.
At this time, there are less than seven hours left before the ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the ancestral home at an auspicious time tomorrow.
In these seven hours, they really have too many things to do.
. . .
Yang Ming in the room of Weilongwu.
He had just sat there for a long time, and now he has rested.
At first, he was really uncomfortable sleeping on this hard mahogany board bed. When he used a quilt to sleep, he felt much more comfortable.
Hazy, he seemed to see something moving under his eyelids under the swaying kerosene lamp.
He wanted to move, but he couldn't.
After struggling for a long time, he finally woke up.
At this time, there was no human figure. It was clearly the kerosene lamp in the room that was blown by the breeze.
Yang Ming can be sure that he should have been experiencing sleep paralysis.
Encountering sleep paralysis.
It is often caused by a person suddenly arriving in an unfamiliar environment, or it may be caused by being too tired.
This time Yang Ming lost all sleepiness and got up directly without resting.
There was a sudden knock at the door.
Yang Ming went to open the door and found that it was his mother Li Yufang.
"Peter, are you still awake?" Li Yufang asked lovingly.
"Mommy, I just woke up."
Yang Ming didn't dare to tell his mother about the sleep paralysis, fearing that she would worry.
"We just discussed it, tomorrow is the best day to recognize the ancestors."
"Mommy, I know, I will listen to your arrangements."
"You kid."
Li Yufang went back to rest.
Yang Ming closed the door.
Sitting there alone.
He suddenly thought that since he would have to perform the ancestral recognition ceremony tomorrow, he couldn't fall asleep in front of the ancestors. Even if he didn't want to lie down to rest, he had to fall asleep.
However, before going to bed.
Yang Ming called Chen Zhenhua.
"Boss, I'll prepare it for you right away."
Yang Ming decided to ask Chen Zhenhua to get a kitchen knife or a chopping knife and put it directly under the bed, so that there would be no more ghost pressing on the bed.
Chen Zhenhua deliberately stood outside Yang Ming's room to prevent anything from really happening.
Yang Ming blew out the kerosene lamp, closed his eyes, and fell asleep quickly.
I don't know how long it took.
"Crackle!"
I heard the sound of firecrackers outside.
Yang Ming woke up immediately.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
When Yang Ming got up and opened the door, he found that it was Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, and Yang Shuhai.
"Uncle, what's up?"
"Mr. Yang, the ancestral recognition ceremony will begin in half an hour. Get ready first. I'll take you to the Yang Family Ancestral Hall later."
"Uncle, I'll get ready right away."
Recognizing one's ancestral roots is a very serious matter. You can't joke about it!
Moreover, the auspicious time and date have been selected and cannot be changed or missed. Rural people also attach great importance to it.
With the help of Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong, Yang Ming washed and dressed, and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Master, it was really cold last night, but Chuhong and I slept together and it was really warm. Maybe we were too tired from the car ride yesterday. We slept until dawn."
It seems that the two women did not encounter sleep paralysis last night, but Yang Ming did.
When Yang Ming was about to leave, Uncle brought many people and took a set of clothes that looked somewhat similar to Tang suits.
"Mr. Yang, this is the clothes you will wear in the ancestral hall when you return to your roots. You can try them on now."
Yang Ming could only take it back to his room.
With the help of Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong, he changed into the unique clothes of the Hakka people, and also a hat.
Now that Yang Ming puts it on, he looks really different from before.
