Chapter 483 Don’t Reach Out…
As soon as Ah Cai returned to her home in Rutaibai Village, she couldn't help sighing, as if her heart was filled with endless helplessness and troubles.
She slapped her hands hard, mumbling, "It's all my fault. I couldn't resist my curiosity again. Curiosity kills the cat, it's so true."
In fact, Acai just wanted to watch the fun and see how Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di beat Zhu Houcong.
However, she softened her heart for a moment and summoned Zhu Di.
Now that's a problem, she has to think carefully about whether she should go to great lengths to summon Zhu Houcong as well.
Ah Cai rolled his eyes and chuckled, thinking to himself, "Hey, maybe one day I can find a way to summon Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and have him beat up Zhu Di too. That scene would definitely be exciting and thrilling!"
Ah Cai glanced at the electronic clock on the wall and exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my god, it's already half past seven! My dinner, my Spring Festival dinner..."
Before she finished speaking, she hurriedly packed up and headed straight for the restaurant.
As soon as Ah Cai stepped into the restaurant, Lu Yingqi pulled her aside and said, "Why are you here just now? You've been looking for some fruit for ages and haven't found any."
Lu Yingqi sniffed the scent on Acai's body, and a strong aroma of incense hit her face.
"Hey sister, did you really go to worship your ancestors? Which ancestor did you worship?" Lu Yingqi asked curiously.
Ah Cai covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Of course it's our Chinese ancestors who are admired by everyone, not the ancestors of the Tong family or the Ning family!"
When Lu Yingqi heard this, he suddenly understood: "That's right, we should burn incense to those revered ancestors and ask them to bless our Chinese people."
At this time, Xiao Xiaoxian also came over: "Hey, let me tell you, our family just held a memorial ceremony for our ancestors! I'll give you some offerings."
As she spoke, she handed each person a banana, an apple and an orange.
Ah Cai and Lu Yingqi turned to look at her at the same time. "Aren't all the members of your family Party members except you? This is feudal superstition. How dare those in uniform in your family do this?"
Ah Cai scratched his head and asked doubtfully, "How do you worship your ancestors? Do you set up a memorial tablet?"
Xiaoxian nodded vigorously: "Yes, my mother asked Old Lady Ma to write the ancestral tablet for our family."
Lu Yingqi understood immediately: "Oh, the tablet written by Old Lady Ma is useful, then can I ask for one? I also want to pay my respects to my ancestors."
Xiaoxian didn't even think twice: "Just go and pray. I just asked Ah Wu for a lot of paper money and offerings that Ah Cai got. I burned them all in the basin."
When Lu Yingqi heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'm going to ask Old Lady Ma to write an ancestral tablet for me. Why didn't you think of it before?"
Xiaoxian pointed at Ah Cai and said, "I only told my grandfather and the others after I saw her preparing the offerings. After hearing it, they quickly followed suit and worshipped their ancestors."
Ah Cai, “…”
Can all this be blamed on her?
...
Xiaoxian pulled Acai to sit next to him, and the two of them watched TV programs while eating peanuts and melon seeds.
When Old Xiao returned to Taibai Village, he was still in a trance, his expression a little vague.
Xiaoxian poured him a cup of tea and poked Grandpa: "Grandpa, what are you doing? You look absent-minded. Did you finish the ancestral worship and go to Wangyou City?"
Old Xiao came back to his senses, glared at his crazy granddaughter, drank his tea and ignored her.
Ah Cai covered her mouth with her hand and asked Xiao Xian, "Doesn't your grandfather have to attend any group reunions or state banquets?"
Xiaoxian also whispered back, "He came here specifically to see Old Lady Ma, so he doesn't need to go to that banquet. It's not as good as eating in your village!"
At this time, the village elder Hua came to the restaurant with several of his old comrades.
"Wow, this restaurant is decorated quite festively, it really looks like Chinese New Year!" A new face appeared in the crowd.
The cafeteria actually didn’t have any special decorations, it just used the formation set up by Acai - [Festival Illusion Formation].
This is a fun thing that Acai discovered from the remains of those players who were cheated.
The whole restaurant is now bustling with activity, and the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival is overwhelming, making people intoxicated.
Strings of big red lanterns hung high up, like twinkling stars in the night sky, lighting up the entire restaurant.
The big red paper-cuts on the windows vividly display various auspicious patterns, such as auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and blooming auspicious flowers, which make people feel the strong New Year atmosphere and festive joy.
The colorful lace and colored lights are interwoven together, like a gorgeous painting, making the whole scene dreamy and magnificent.
People's faces were filled with happy smiles, children were running and playing happily, holding colorful balloons in their hands, and their laughter echoed in the air.
Bursts of firecrackers sounded in the distance, and the crackling sound was like a cheerful melody, adding more joyful atmosphere and festive peace to the festival.
Taibai Village is also filled with the aroma of delicious food. Various traditional delicacies such as candied haws, rice cakes, dumplings, etc. are mouth-watering and you can't help but want to taste them.
The whole restaurant could smell the aroma of processed food coming from the kitchen, and the greedy little kids kept peeking in that direction.
Old Man Hua took them to a sofa in a corner and sat them down.
There are more than a dozen large pots of green plants such as money trees and weeping angels, forming a quiet space.
Old Man Zheng looked at them and said seriously, "I told you, I personally brought you holiday rations from the retirement home, and you haven't been kind to me all afternoon."
Qiu Shulai sneered at him and said, "Your relatives were foolishly instigated and ordered to come to Taibai Village, and you have no idea?"
Guan Lao suddenly put down his teacup and said in a loud voice, "You are really unrealistic, old man. You think too much. What's the matter? Are your relatives looking for you to help again?"
Qiu Shuyu, the elder, took a sip of tea and said solemnly, "Have you ever found out who's paying for this? How dare you intervene at this critical moment?"
When Old Man Zheng heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that something was wrong and quickly shook his head vigorously.
Old Wang threw a piece of information to him and said in a serious tone, "You are already an old comrade. In this era of universal dungeons, your relatives don't even have a bracelet. Have you not noticed?"
Old Zheng picked up the information and read it with a shudder of fear. "The person behind him is the entertainment group invested in by Xiao Rizi? Is this person behind him also Xiao Rizi's son-in-law? Is this old man also a Class A war criminal who escaped legal punishment?"
He threw the documents on the coffee table, sat on the sofa, breathing heavily, his face as pale as paper.
His nanny quickly poured him a glass of water to help him calm down.
