Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 173 172. Hungry Ghost Festival

After dinner in the evening, Aunt Liao said that she was going to a show tomorrow, and asked Xiang Jin and his family if they had prepared all the money for the incense paper. If not, she would bring them back when the time came.

Xiang Jin was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why Aunt Liao, who was so good, suddenly mentioned the matter of buying fragrant wax paper?

Does anyone in Wantou want to burn the anniversary?
She was about to ask, when she saw her grandmother put down the bowls and chopsticks suddenly, and said with a dazed expression:
"Yeah, the day after tomorrow is July and a half, oh, look at my memory, why did I forget this thing.

Both of you remind your daughters-in-law when you go back, let them go to the street tomorrow to buy some wax paper money and come back. "

When she said the last sentence, she was looking at Xiang Jin's two uncles.

The two hurriedly responded with "Ai Ai Ai".

It was only then that Xiang Jin realized that they were talking about the Hungry Ghost Festival. It's just that there is a leap month this year, and the Hungry Ghost Festival came a bit late, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Then I heard her mother say, "I want it, sister Liao, bring me some back tomorrow."

Aunt Liao asked her how much she wanted to bring, and Yang Juyun said how much incense wax and white paper she wanted to bring, and then she asked Xiang Jin to take time to write out the blessing paper.

Xiang Jin was in a daze.

Fortune paper?

What are lucky papers?

She has never seen it, okay?

In her previous life, she had seen people burn paper money for their families and relatives in July and a half, and their home had also been burned.

Every year, the paper money is burned by the river, but the paper money is the finished paper money that their family bought directly from the shops in the city that specialize in ghost instruments.

As for writing blessing papers, it seems that there is no habit of writing blessing papers in their cities.

Aunt Liao also said, "Yes, yes, please write for me when the time comes. In previous years, I would go directly to your Grandpa Zeng to write for you. This year, I will not bother the old man, girl Jin, Write it for me."

Xiang Jin felt like crying, no, she didn't know how to write it?

But no one at home noticed the slight expression on her face, so Xiang Jin finally had to say, "Auntie, who are you going to write about then?"

She knows this, because when everyone burns paper money for someone, they will call that person's name and ask him (her) to come and get the flowers and so on. This is probably the same.

Aunt Liao said, "I'll tell you when the time comes, you just make a list and you'll know."

Xiang Jin nodded, then looked at her mother, "Then mother, what about us?"

Her mother said, "We are still the same as usual, whoever we usually burn to, this year we will still burn to whoever."

Xiang Jin was very depressed, she just didn't know who to burn, okay?

So she said, "You better tell me, I have forgotten some people's names."

Yang Juyun said angrily, "You child, you have no memory, how can your ancestors forget it?"

Xiang Jin thought to himself: They have all severed ties with the old Xiang family, what ancestors do they have?
But it's not easy for her to say this in front of everyone, so she pretended to be impatient and said, "Oh, why don't you tell me when the time comes?"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you when the time comes, tell you, you kid, why are you so hot today?"

Xiang Jin pretended not to pay attention to what she said just now, but said again, "And the names of the relatives on Grandma's side too?"

"Okay, okay, I got it, I got it, let's eat quickly?"

After discussing this topic, everyone continued to eat.

The next day, when Aunt Liao came back from the show, Xiang Jin saw her take out a few sticks of incense, a few sticks of wax, and a few knives of white paper from the basket, and then she put one of the sticks of incense and wax on the There was still a piece of blank paper and I handed it to her, "Girl Jin, your mother asked me to bring this back, should I give it to you now?"

"Oh," Xiang Jin stretched out his hand to take it, but he was thinking in his heart: My good boy, do you want to cut it yourself?

Then she heard Aunt Liao say again, "Why don't you pass the paper to me, and when I cut it in the afternoon, I'll cut it out for you together, so that you kids won't have to cut your hands when the time comes?"

Without hesitation, Xiang Jin handed the knife paper back to her, "Then please trouble auntie, I really can't cut this well."

Aunt Liao said, "Hey, it's not troublesome, it's a matter of convenience, don't I have to ask you to write a blessing paper for me then?"

The smile on the corner of Xiang Jin's mouth froze for a moment. Is she trying to drive ducks to the shelves?

Oh, forget it, then she'll go to Grandpa Zeng to get some scriptures. It shouldn't be too difficult for a smart person like her.

Thinking of this, she was relieved!
After cutting the paper money, Aunt Liao rubbed it with real money, that is, the kind of hundred change rolls and ten yuan and 50 yuan notes, and then began to wrap the blessing paper.

The so-called blessing paper is to use the same cut square white paper to pack those rubbed paper wallets into one by one, and the thickness is the same as that of one hundred real hundred and zero rolls.

After meeting Xiang Jin, she also learned to pack together. After all, she will live in Huangye Bay in the future. She may often do things like this by herself, so it's better to learn something.

Their house wrapped a sieve, and Aunt Liao's house also wrapped a sieve, and they were piled up in a thick stack, at least thirty or forty centimeters high.

Seeing so many envelopes of paper money, Xiang Jin wailed in her heart, wondering when she would finish writing tomorrow?

So after breakfast the next day, Xiang Jin took the list made by their family and Aunt Liao's house to ask old master Zeng for advice.

When she went, old master Zeng and Yan Chen were writing blessing papers.

Mr. Zeng was writing about their own family, while Yan Chen was writing for the people in Wantou, and there were piles of them piled up in front of them.

"Girl Jin, what's the matter?" Seeing her coming, Mr. Zeng greeted her.

"Our family also wants to write blessing papers, but I have never written one, so I came to ask you for advice."

Mr. Zeng immediately became interested, then put down his pen, looked at her with a smile, "You want to learn too?"

Xiang Jin nodded slightly, "Well, it doesn't hurt to know more about these traditional cultures."

Mr. Zeng nodded approvingly, "It's good for you to get to know these traditional local cultures. It's not good when we old people leave and you don't know anything!"

After that, Old Master Zeng explained to her how to write this lucky paper, and then Xiang Jin listened carefully, taking notes on the paper from time to time.

She didn't expect that the writing method of a simple blessing paper is quite particular. People with different relatives have different writing methods, and people of different generations have different writing methods. Even the relatives and friends between the father's family and the mother's family are written differently. .

Xiang Jin listened there for a long time, then picked up the blessing papers that Mr. Zeng and Yan Chen had written before, looked through them carefully, and then asked a few targeted questions, only then did he thoroughly understand the blessing. How to write on paper.

Yan Chen asked, "How big is your house? If you have a lot, you can bring some and I'll write it for you."

Xiang Jin wanted to say yes, but when she saw two more people from Wantou coming to ask them to write blessing papers with a sieve, she immediately shook her head, "No, our family doesn't have many, I can handle it myself."

Yan Chen nodded and said nothing afterwards, Xiang Jin then went back.

It took her more than two hours to finish writing the two sieves of blessing papers.

I planned to take Xianglan to the town to buy clothes the next day, but the older people in Wantou said that around July and a half, it's better not to walk around in children's homes, so as not to encounter those dirty things, so Even Xiang Jin was ordered to stay at home.

On July half, almost no family in Wantou went out to work, and everyone was preparing for the evening sacrificial activities.

For example, incense wax paper money, and meals used to sacrifice relatives and friends.

Xiang Jin and his family have also started preparing for a long time ago. In addition to the necessary cooking, there is also a bowl of soup and rice.

Although she didn't know why it must be soup with rice instead of dry rice, but the adults told her to prepare it that way, so she had no choice but to prepare it that way.

When it was dark, everyone came out with incense paper money and food, and everyone lined up on the side of the road to burn, some burned loose money, and some burned lucky paper.

Looking at the tall stack of blessing papers, Xiang Jin said worriedly, "Is this burned through? I don't think it's as convenient as burning small change."

Aunt Liao said, "burn here for a while longer, and then poke it twice with a stick and it will be burnt through. The people below who burned the change are all taking it. I don't know which one is which. When the time comes, I will burn it down because What should I do if there is a fight for money?
It's better to wrap it in this lucky paper, it's written on it which is which name, and each will receive its own, so that there will be no confusion. "

Xiang Jin was a little dumbfounded, and made up this idea for them.

However, Xiang Jin saw that Aunt Liao and her mother had taken some loose money to burn there, and the name she was chanting was Xu Heng.

Immediately, her heart moved, and then she squatted down and took a stack of loose money and started to burn it, but the name she muttered silently in her heart was Yang Juyun's real daughter "Xiang Jin". When you reincarnate, you can be entrusted to a good family.
