Chapter 136 Becoming a Vegetarian
The next morning, the blessing ceremony began. The Mazu Temple started worship activities early in the morning, and Ye Yaodong also went to burn three sticks of incense.
The first day was very simple, only the tribute was placed, and the gongs, drums and suona were invited, and then the villagers voluntarily went to offer incense, and they waited until the last day to invite Mazu to go on tour.
He came back straight after burning incense. His wife said that he was going to move things to his new home today.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also plan to take advantage of these few days of free time to take all the things they can take to their new home in advance. It just happened to move on the same day.
There is only one cart in the family, and they take turns to move it. The family pushes it once, and the move is finished in three trips. They didn’t have much property at first. The big thing is their wardrobe.
The bed can only be moved on the day of the move. Moving the bed depends not only on the day, but also on the time. Moreover, Lin Xiuqing is very likely to be pregnant. If there is a pregnant woman at home, the bed cannot be moved casually.
Ye Yaodong actually wanted to get a new bed, but the wooden bed creaked every time he did something, which affected his longevity too much. Although there is Simmons now, but where can he get it, it's too expensive, and he doesn't make enough money, so he can only make do with it and sleep.
Then buy a small bed with an iron frame for the child, similar to the bunk beds in the staff dormitory, even though there is only one floor, it is enough for the time being, and the youngest son will sleep with them for at least two years.
After moving things, Ye Yaodong ran home to get a **** again, and he planned to reclaim the vacant land beside it. Anyway, it's all vacant land. The land he opened is of course his. As long as it's not used as a homestead to build a house, it's okay to farm.
At that time, cut a little bamboo, surround a fence, and have a vegetable garden!
Ye's father and Ye's mother came to visit the new house when they had nothing to do, and they were very satisfied when they saw that he was cultivating the land again. The third son has indeed become more and more able to plan during this time, and will also think about ordering a variety of dishes, so he will no longer be lazy No more work.
"Dongzi, let me use the **** when I run out, and I will take advantage of this free time to come out and plant some radishes."
"good."
He thought in his heart that it was time to go to the smithy to buy a hoe. Many things had to be used in front of him, so he didn’t remember if they were there. There was only one set of farm tools at home, and they couldn’t share them. They had to buy them by themselves.
There is only one copy of many things in the family. Only the bowls and chopsticks and the things in their own houses can be brought over, and the rest must be left to his parents. They are young and capable, so they can’t share everything.
After cultivating the land for most of the day, after lunch, Ye Yaodong pushed the gray bucket truck up the mountain. He had to dig some soil and cut some bamboo to tie the fence.
Busy with these things all day long, Father Ye also helped him tie the fence together, after all, he had never done this kind of work, Father Ye is more experienced and knows everything.
In the evening, the men of the family went to the Mazu Temple to offer three sticks of incense in the evening. During the week of fasting, three sticks of incense were offered in the morning and evening.
Ye Yaodong is also very pious. In this life, he hopes that the whole family will be safe and healthy. There is a young man beside him who is not sensible, and he helped to correct the wrong way of offering incense.
Traditional culture regards the left as auspicious and the right as evil. When offering incense, you must cover your left hand with your right hand and worship, and then you must hold the incense with your left hand and insert it into the incense burner.
There is a saying that the right hand kills and is unclean, while the left hand is more peaceful and suitable for offering incense in front of the Buddha. There is also a saying that men should be on the left and women should be on the right.
Father Ye saw that he was quite reliable, and he could teach others without being taught, so he couldn't help nodding.
"Okay, let's go back to eat."
Dinner is the same as noon. The table is full of vegetarian dishes. The adults know nothing about eating fast to pray for safety.
"It's all vegetables again, do you really have to eat it for seven days?"
"I want to eat yesterday's prawns!"
"Me too, I've never eaten such a big shrimp..."
Mother Ye knocked on the table, "The whole village is vegetarian, and it's not just our family. Eat quickly, eat big fish and meat yesterday, and eat some vegetarian food in the next few days to clear the stomach."
"But I can't get enough to eat!" Ye Chenghai touched his flat stomach, and it was empty after a few urinations.
"That's right, I can't get enough to eat!" The children echoed in twos and threes.
Auntie Ye stared at her eldest son, who was the one who started everything, and she really hated the dog, "You didn't work, why are you so full? Eat quickly, don't talk too much, don't eat any more. "
"Sigh, it feels like a good day has passed, and then I was beaten back to its original shape, no... It's worse than before. I used to see small fish, shrimp and shells."
"Shut your mouth, don't affect your younger brothers and sisters, just persist for a few days, if you don't want to eat, don't eat, go back to the house."
Mother Ye quickly acted as a peacemaker, "Don't scold him, half-children eat poor fathers, they are growing up, it's normal not to be hungry, not to mention eating vegetarian dishes or porridge all day, tomorrow I will cook sweet potato dry rice to keep me hungry."
Mother Ye spoke, but no one said anything. Mrs. Ye didn't scold the child, she just gave him a look and told him to eat quickly.
Mother Ye looked at Father Ye after she finished speaking, "The ash on the bottom of the pot is too thick. After dinner, take the pot to the back door and scrape the bottom of the pot with a hoe."
"knew."
There is no one among the children who does not like to join in the fun. Even though they have seen it thousands of times, they are still very interested. After eating, they wait there and don't go out to play.
The big iron pot of the clay stove was carried to the back door after the meal, and it was covered on the ground. The children squatting around in a circle, Father Ye couldn't drive them away, so he could only make them back a little.
He stepped on the pot to prevent it from moving, took a hoe, and slowly scraped along the side of the pot, scraping off all the black pot ash on it.
"Grandpa, why do you always lift the pot out to scrape the bottom?"
"Didn't you see it's all ash? It has accumulated a thick layer, so how can you cook and cook? It will take a long time to cook."
They nodded half understanding.
Mother Ye held a jar with half a jar of jet-black powder in it, squatted down and carefully grabbed the ash from the bottom of the pot that had just been scraped off into the jar.
Pot bottom ash can stop bleeding and diarrhea. It is a reliable rural folk prescription with scientific basis, but they are all used to stop bleeding. In daily life, bumps and bumps are inevitable. Just wipe a pot bottom ash. Mother Ye has to collect them every time.
After scraping, they lifted the cauldron to the earthen stove again, Mother Ye also put the jar away, and could not help but give instructions.
"After eating the fast food, everyone will go to buy an iron pot for each of them to put in the new home. It will be used on the day of moving, and everything must be prepared in advance."
"Got it, we know it."
After watching the excitement, the children ran to play happily again.
The adults all went back to their houses to talk.
