Time flies so fast. When Wang Buping goes to the square for training, it’s almost time for the Chinese New Year. In the past few days, every household in the village is preparing the things to use for the Chinese New Year. Of course, Wang Buping’s family is no exception. Steaming big buns, fried rice cakes, pasting couplets, sticking door gods... These things are indispensable in Wang Buping.

However, Li Yuping was still unhappy. Other families had wives, and some were holding children. In her family, if Qin Ling hadn't been there, there wouldn't be even fun. This year, Qin's family would celebrate the New Year in Wangjia Village. I heard that his children would come over on New Year's Eve. Therefore, some of the things prepared were made from Wang Buping's house.

At this moment, Wang Buping was frying fish balls in the house with an apron. This was Qin Ling's favorite. This girl was stretching her head and looking inside in front of the kitchen door. Wang Buping didn't expect that she would be afraid of oil, otherwise she would have run in long ago.

Everyone has prepared the activities and performances in Wangjiazhai, and they have been resting these days. They are just to prepare food for the New Year. This year, because they have money, each family has bought a lot of ingredients. For this, Wang Buping also went to the town to hire a car, got a car of meat, and distributed it to the elderly who are inconvenient to go out. There are also some families of orphans and widows. Although they have also received a lot of money, they still have to take care of these families without labor.

During this period, the old people mentioned by Mr. Qin also came. However, the impact on the village was not great, and it should be said that it had no effect. Several people were protected by plain clothes. Only Wang Buping knew their background. The tourists also realized that a few rich elderly people came and they saw a lot of them in Wangjia Village. Last time, the old people rented houses came home, the movement was much greater than that.

These people did not agree to Wang Buping's request at that time, but just said to see. If you want to live in Wangjia Village for a period of time, you have to go through a professional doctor's examination and confirm that living in Wangjia Village will be beneficial to their health. Only two of them will be allowed to live here.

This was the result that Wang Buping didn't expect. The country would still take care of where the people live. However, the old lady was really amazing, so she talked with Wang Buping for a while. Wang Buping himself felt that he had been trapped a lot. From now on, he would not meet the old lady alone, which was so amazing.

Finally, I asked Mr. Qin and found out that he was an economic person. How could he be bad at it? Another one is Mr. Qin's sixth brother. Wang Buping felt that he must be brought to his school. He was doing education reform. He was just a headache because of this problem. The education he wanted was different from all the current education. If he just wanted to manage it, it would be impossible to do it. The education he talked to with him was in line with what Wang Buping thought, that was to cultivate one sect and develop, and the others would assist him. In that case, he would not be able to learn something quickly, but he would be honest and kind in his studies for more than ten years.

Now, these old people are all in his house. I heard that the younger generations at home will come during the Chinese New Year. Wang Buping has prepared a big place for them to use for their gatherings.

...

New Year's Eve is also the last day of this year. Wangjiazhai worships ancestors, and it is also today. Everyone gathered in the square and wore ancestor worship clothes. The ceremony this year is quite grand. The old patriarch has not arrived yet and the ancestral temple has not been opened, but the performance has already begun.

Because it is New Year's Eve, there are few tourists, and everyone is back for the New Year, so there are not many people watching. Only some of the whole family is in Wangjia Village. People who are preparing to celebrate the New Year here are watching around, wanting to see the ancient ancestor worship ceremony of Wangjia Village.

When the old clan leader arrived, it was exactly eight o'clock, which was also the beginning of the sacrifice. He first worshiped the heavens and thanked the heavens for bringing peace and peace to Wangjia Village. The people standing on both sides were holding large flags and flagpoles with ancient myths and some history of Wangjia Village. These were made by special people.

With the sound of the ancient bronze bell, it also indicates the beginning of the Wangjiazhai Festival. Children were pulled by women and were not allowed to run around. The old patriarch walked onto the sacrificial platform with a crutch and inserted the incense in his hand into the bronze cauldron in front. The people below also began to sing ancient songs. Most people would not understand the consciousness in these songs. Even Wang Buping did not know what consciousness it was. They were all passed down by the ancestors.

Waving the flagpole and letting the banners float in the air, several old men also played ancient musical instruments. The sound sounded a bit tragic and gave people the feeling of vicissitudes.

When the sacrifice of heaven was over, Wang Buping was called out by the old patriarch. Unexpectedly, he would have completed the opening of the ancestral temple today. Wang Buping remembered that every year, aren’t it the patriarch? What’s going on? Wang Buping, who didn’t understand, opened the door of the ancestral temple in a daze. He had no idea that there were some special things to open the door, but only the elderly would know this.

When opening the door, it means welcoming the ancestors. The first person to open the door is the first person the ancestors saw, which allows the ancestors to bless this person with peace in the coming year. Therefore, in the past, they were all for the patriarchs of the village, but this year it was changed to Wang Buping, which was also the result of discussion among the elderly. Because everything in the village is brought by Wang Buping.

When everyone enters the ancestral temple, outsiders are not allowed to come in, so the tourists cannot see it. However, the atmosphere here is relatively solemn, and tourists will not feel comfortable coming in. Sacrifices are serious matters, especially now, it turns out that women are not allowed to come in. Later, this rule was changed as more contact with people outside.

The ancestor worship was first a post, which was about all the situation and achievements of Wangjia Village this year. This was to tell the ancestors and the situation this year. However, Wang Buping seemed to be wrong. The front was still good, and the back was full of praise. However, this could not be interrupted at the beginning, so Wang Buping had to finish listening.

When it was time to kneel down, this was not right. Originally, the elders were the biggest one in Wang Buping’s generation, probably the uncle’s family had just returned, and Wang Huai’s brother went up first. Why was the first person to think of himself? Wang Buping felt that something seemed wrong today, and many things were done by himself. If you want to talk about the reason why he did things for the village, it shouldn’t change when worshiping ancestors!

"Okay, now everyone has worshipped their ancestors. So, next, I want to announce something, which is also a major event for our Wangjia Village. This year, everyone comes back from outside and sees the changes in the village. I believe that in the past few days, you young people will also know why. Therefore, I will discuss with the current patriarch and the old people in the village. Starting next year, this patriarch will be Wang Buping."

When Wang Buping heard this, he was stunned. How could he pass the clan leader to himself? He knew that general clan leader was chosen from his father's generation. This time, why did he skip them and choose himself? This is not possible. You must know that it is difficult to become a clan leader. Wang Buping is still preparing to go out after the New Year.

"I believe that no one in the village should object to this decision, okay, just..."

"Old patriarch, I object, I object." Wang Buping shouted quickly. If you don't object, it doesn't mean that I am not objecting. If you don't say it, it will become a fact.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the person talking. There had never been such a situation. Some people had opposed Wangjiazhai's selection of patriarch, but they had never heard of him opposing himself.

The old patriarch smiled. He had long seen that Wang Buping, the little guy, was unwilling to discuss with him. He directly told the result when worshiping his ancestors, "It's useless to object, okay, now I announce that from the next year, Buping will be the patriarch of Wangjiazhai."

Damn, what's this matter? I can't do it. Moreover, Wang Buping knew from the reactions of his family. It seemed that they agreed. He was kept in the dark, thinking about the things that happened a few days ago and the rehearsals. Now he understood it. He was stupid, and he had already said it, but he didn't tell him clearly that the dragon head was used by the patriarch every year, and he didn't react when he opened the ancestral temple. There were many things in his memory.

Forget it, the things were already like this, so he had to admit it. However, after the end, he still had to talk to the old patriarch that they would manage the affairs of this village. He just had to make a decision on some major issues.

In fact, Wang Buping was thinking too much. Those old people asked Wang Buping to be the patriarch just to do some of his work in the village and make it easier for him to do some of the real problems. He still won't ask them. His life experience is still too few, and some problems are not something he can deal with.

Although some people are not very happy about Wang Buping becoming the patriarch, everyone understands that this is the inevitable result after some things in the village. Therefore, no one will object.

After everyone worshiped, the following was originally going to perform in the ancestral temple, but because of tourists, it was placed in the square outside.

First, there was a sacrificial dance, which looked a bit solemn and serious, but it was hard to see. It was not during a sacrificial ceremony, but it was usually not danced, because the clothes inside were complicated, and there was still some danger. In front, it was made of heavy wooden pillars carved with patterns and hit the ground. Wang Buping tried it because the rhythm was getting faster and faster, and he accidentally hit his feet.

Then there is the inspirational performance. This is somewhat similar to many places. Wang Buping and the others will do this. However, they were not allowed to perform this year. They were all from the older generation. The following is the most dangerous. More than a dozen people stacked together and it took them sixth floor. Fortunately, this is familiar with the older generation of Wangjiazhai, and nothing happened.

What Wang Buping and the others did was a fun thing, which was walking on stilts. People who have learned this thing know it was not too difficult, and it was not easy to play with some tricks. Wearing ancient costumes and playing different people, this is also a weird performance.
