Chapter 991 (1/2)
There was nothing to see in the old man's house, and master Miao and sang didn't say anything when they followed.
When the old man wanted to make some tea for Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen said, ”old man, take me to see your son's fiancee's house.”
The old man didn't refuse either, and took the three to him.
Although we are all in the same village and in the village in the city, they are not of the same surname and have no blood relationship. Therefore, they have known each other since childhood and become childhood sweethearts.
It was only after the old man's son finished his university in Binhai city and went to the United States to study for a doctor that he separated for a period of time.
After walking with the three for more than ten minutes, the old man said, ”Dr. Xiao, that's my daughter-in-law's home.”
Xiao Chen looked over and found that there was something wrong with the family.
This house looks like a hanging bell tower.
There are bell towers all over the world, but those bell towers are different.
There are few or no private bell towers.
The appearance is similar to the hanging bell tower, but in fact, it is not a hanging bell tower, and it is only four floors.
”Master, there is something wrong with the hanging bell tower.” Xiao Chen looked at master Miao and whispered.
Master Miao just nodded and said nothing.
Now Xiao Chen doesn't have to go up to see it. He can see it clearly downstairs.
This really looks like a hanging bell tower, and it looks like an old house of 20 or 30 years.
However, Xiao Chen felt that the problem was still not here.
What's the problem?
”Old gentleman, where is the ancestral temple?”
”Right ahead.”
Basically, in rural areas or urban villages in big cities, in fact, rural areas in big cities have their own ancestral temples, which belong to ancestral temples with the same surname or blood relationship.
This ancestral hall is usually the place where the spirit card is placed for worship.
Another function.
When there was no crematorium or funeral home before, when someone died in the village, they were put in the ancestral hall.
After the old man's son died, he didn't ask him to go to the funeral home or directly to the crematorium. Instead, he sent him directly to the ancestral hall of the village to park for three days, and then to the crematorium.
Now the old man took Xiao Chen to the gate of the ancestral hall in the village. In addition to seeing candles, incense paper and money outside, he still hung lanterns.
For many people, the ancestral temple is actually a symbol of the family.
When overseas Chinese return home, they will pay homage to the ancestral hall at the first time.
And here, too.
Because big cities can't set off firecrackers, there are no firecrackers here, but there are still a lot of incense paper money and candles.
Now the old man took the three people in, and Xiao Chen felt some gloomy feeling inside.
The ancestral hall in the village is not very big. Once you enter, there is a lobby. Then you enter the lobby, there are houses on both sides.
In the hall, there are many spiritual cards of the dead old people in the village.
Of course, some people who are not old enough and have died, there are no spiritual cards dedicated to them here.
The old man's son, because he is a senior returnee doctor, is enough in other aspects, even if he is not old enough.
Therefore, it will be sent here and parked here in the hall.
