The next day, the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month, this day is also called "Little New Year's Eve".

Today, the workers of the engineering team will leave the village, and various construction equipment will be transported away one after another. The second phase of the farm’s project is completely completed.

At yesterday's banquet, Li Fan said goodbye to Wang Qian and the workers of the engineering team.

For the villagers of Sansheng Village, there is a very important thing to do today.

Among the traditional customs, there is a very important custom today, that is, "Go to the grave to invite the ancestors."

The so-called "going to the grave to invite ancestors" is to invite the old people who have passed away in the family and their ancestors to come home for the New Year.

In the early morning, every household took firecrackers, incense candles, money, paper, sacrifices and other items to go out, and went to the graves of the old people who had died, and invited the old people back home to celebrate the New Year.

Li Fan's family is no exception.

Li Fan, my father, my mother, Su Qing, Qin Yulin, as well as Sanshu, Sanniang, and the little girl also took corresponding items and went to the graves of the old people who had passed away at home to invite the old people to go home for the New Year.

The two old men Su Yilin and Qin Lie also followed.

This is the second time for Su Qing to "go to the grave for ancestors" at Li Fan's house. On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month last year, Su Qing also participated in the "to go to the grave for ancestors."

And Qin Yulin was the first time to participate in "Going to the Grave to Ask the Ancestor". While in awe, he also found it very interesting.

She used to spend the New Year in Qin Yuewan, although she was not in the city, but she did not have this kind of attention, or it was much more interesting to spend the New Year here.

The process of inviting ancestors is not much different from the usual ancestor worship, but the words spoken are different.

In front of the old man’s grave, he lit incense candles, burned the money paper, and talked about letting the old man go home for the New Year. Then he kowtowed his head and set off firecrackers.

After going to the graves of the dead old people, Li Fan and his party went back outside the courtyard.

At this time, at the gate of the yard, it is necessary to burn the money paper again and set off firecrackers again.

And to make a move towards the door, meaning: the old people in the family are going home for the New Year, ask the door **** to give way.

After that, you can enter the gate.

After entering the gate, you need to place a peach stick horizontally at the door, called the "gate-stop stick".

It means to stop those ferocious spirits and not to enter the door.

Then, a pair of bright candles need to be lit in the main hall, and they will stay on all night.

At this point, the entire "going to the grave, please ancestors" is even completed.

Just wait until dinner on the second day of the first lunar month and burn candles and papers outside the village again to "send New Year" to the elderly.

After "Going to the grave to invite ancestors" was completed, there was nothing else to do today. Time passed, and in a blink of an eye came the next day, New Year’s Eve.

Except for a few families who celebrate the New Year in advance, most families choose to celebrate the New Year today.

For the first time at Li Fan's New Year's Day, Qin Yulin seemed very excited. After getting up early in the morning, he has been helping Dad and Mom prepare the luncheon dinner in the kitchen.

Li Fan wandered around the village and came back. The time was slowly approaching 12 noon, and the reunion dinner at noon was also ready.

Li Fan ran out for a stroll instead of helping at home, causing Qin Yulin to roll his eyes, Li Fan hesitatingly smiled.

At around 12 noon, as in previous years, there was a sound of "cracking" firecrackers from all over the village.

The sound of setting off firecrackers was also heard in the courtyard of the third uncle's house next door.

Li Fan saw that the time was almost up, and he also lit the firecrackers that had been prepared in his yard a long time ago.

The "crackling" explosion filled the entire yard in an instant, and it was another new year.

After the firecrackers were set off, the family sat down around the table. The table was already full of rich dishes, and the reunion dinner was officially started.

About an hour later, after the reunion dinner was finished and the dishes were cleaned up, Li Fan took Su Qing and Qin Yulin's two daughters to visit the village, which was very enjoyable.

In the evening, after dinner, the family stood in front of the TV and watched the live broadcast of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

The time is getting late, and at 12 o'clock in the evening, the New Year's bell has already sounded.

The new year has finally come again!

From all over the village, the sound of "cracking" firecrackers was set off again, and Li Fan also lit the firecrackers in the yard again.

The red beating fire light reflected the entire courtyard red.

As soon as the firecrackers were set off, there was the sound of footsteps outside the yard, and the sound of talking.

Li Fan chuckled, he naturally heard the voices of Fengzi, Taozi and others. These guys obviously had no plans to sleep yet.

Of course, if you follow traditional customs, you shouldn't sleep today, because today you have to watch the year, and you have to watch it all night.

"Boss Li, congratulations on getting rich, and bring the red envelope." Fengzi, Taozi and others yelled as they came in from the gate of the yard. These guys came to "blackmail" the red envelope.

Naturally, Li Fan would not let them succeed. He directly "boomed" a group of guys out of the yard, and then ran out with Su Qing and Qin Yulin, and went back home with a group of guys after spending a while in the village. Turn off the lights and sleep.

...

No words for a night, the next day, the first day of the first month.

Today is the first day of the new year, everything is a new beginning, and there are more tourists in the village.

For many people, today is a day out, and it is the same for Li Fan.

He, Su Qing and Qin Yulin took the little girl and spent a day in the county town, and only returned to the village when it was dark.

One night passed again, and it was the second day of the New Year's Day.

Starting today, Li Fan's "good day" will come to an end temporarily.

Because, starting today, people will continue to come to Sansheng Village to visit Li Fan.

The visitors are all guests, and Li Fan will receive them with courtesy no matter who is visiting.

By noon, Li Fan had received several waves of visiting guests, and after several waves of guests, Li Fan's cell phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number from the capital.

"Who?" Li Fan murmured, then connected to the phone, and after saying "Hello", there was a hearty laughter on the phone.

After the laughter, it was the voice of a middle-aged man, "Mr. Li Fan, Happy New Year, I am very sorry to disturb you. I am Wang Xuejun from the Ministry of Education. Do you still have an impression of Mr. Li Fan?"

Wang Xuejun from the Ministry of Education? That should be Wang Xuejun, the Vice Minister of Education. Li Fan was taken aback for a moment. This call made him very surprised.

He and Wang Xuejun have never met, so they are not familiar, but they also have some intersections.

In the latter part of the Spring Festival last year, Li Fan launched the Mengtong enlightenment reading "San Zi Jing", and the couplet with the one a few months ago, "The book mountain has a road to work hard, the study sea has no end to work hard". The Ministry was very pleased, and Wang Xuejun also got in touch with Li Fan.

"Minister Wang, Happy New Year. Honestly, Minister Wang's phone call made me a little flattered." Li Fan said with a smile.

"Mr. Li Fan don't want to say that. To be honest, I called Mr. Li Fan. Apart from New Year's greetings, there is one more thing I want to discuss with Mr. Li Fan."

"Minister Wang is polite. If you have anything, Minister Wang just say it."

"Is such that……"

It turned out that Wang Xuejun asked Li Fan if he had any plans to produce another work that would help children's education?

In the latter part of the Spring Festival last year, Wang Xuejun was delighted by Li Fan’s "Three Character Classic", so he wondered if Li Fan could release another work that would help children's education during the Spring Festival this year.
