Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 143 Big Iron Pot

Early the next morning, the couple left the child with Mother Ye and went to town.

The two couples Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua went to the town together yesterday afternoon and bought all the things that should be bought.

Lin Xiuqing also kept in mind the things they bought, their prices, and where they bought them, and went straight to their destination as soon as they arrived in town.

Ye Yaodong came out today as a laborer, and after a while, the two baskets they brought out were already full and hanging on their hands.

Lin Xiuqing wanted to help carry it, how dare he carry heavy objects for her, all of them were hung on his body, and now the store even carried the big iron pot they just bought for an earthen stove on his back...

He looked behind while walking, "Why do I feel that this pot is strange on my back?"

Passers-by on the road couldn't help but look back at him as they passed by him.

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing when she turned her head to look at it, but she tried not to laugh, lest he get angry and stop reciting, "No, I think it's pretty good."

"Then why are you still laughing at me?"

"Have it?"

"No? Your eyes are so bent that you can't see your eyeballs."

While talking, he tugged at the cauldron on his back, always feeling awkward how to carry it?I don't know how his elder brother and second brother got it back yesterday?

Now that she was discovered, Lin Xiuqing couldn't bear it anymore, and smiled with a big grin on her lips, "I think you look better tanned now than before."

"Bullshit", Ye Yaodong looked at the eyes of the passers-by on both sides, and said in a low voice awkwardly, "You are obviously just joking that I have carried a big pot on my back, and I look like a bastard!"

Now Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing, but in order to save him some face, she immediately covered it with her hands, and then said in a low voice, "You said that yourself, I didn't say that."

Ye Yaodong was annoyed, and looked at her accusingly: "You must think so too!"

"Oh, it's okay, buy two more things, and we'll go home." Lin Xiuqing held his hand reassuringly, and walked forward together.

Depressed, he turned his head and glanced behind him again, how awkward was it?

"What else do you want to buy? Come back in the afternoon? Take the pot back first, it's shameful to carry it all the time?"

"It's good to buy all at once, why do you have to come again? No fare? I told you to walk, but if you have to take a car, how far can you go? It's not like you haven't traveled."

There are people all around, and it's hard for him to say anything about her. He still has one in his belly, and he has to walk this long way. Is he afraid that the child will be too safe?

Originally, whether the child would be born or not was still a matter of concern. Of course, we had to pay attention. There was really no need to save a few cents on the fare, it was still too frugal.

Ye Yaodong bit the bullet, carried the pot on his back, and followed her all the time, without looking sideways...

It wasn't until she went into a small store of daily necessities and bought soap, brushes, sticks, and mallets that he finally couldn't help but say, "Isn't the small store in the village selling it? Why do you have to go all the way to buy it?"

"You know what? You can buy two bars of soap here for a penny cheaper."

Ye Yaodong: ...

"Okay, let's go back."

"Buy a box of clam oil! It's autumn and winter, it's relatively dry, you and your children have to wipe it on your face and hands."

She hesitated for a moment, "It's a bit early to wipe it off now... um... It's rare to come here once, so why don't you buy it by the way?"

"Buy it, buy it."

After buying everything, he was relieved, and finally he was able to get in the car and go home.

Walking around, I feel that my skin is thicker.

After returning to the village, he didn't care anymore. He walked back swaggeringly, and he could still say hello to acquaintances when he met them.

"Yo~ You turned into Prime Minister Turtle today?"

Fatty saw him from a distance, and ran up quickly, only to find a pot behind him, and immediately laughed at him.

Ye Yaodong cut him fiercely with a knife in his eyes.

"You look good today!"

"Where are you from?"

"Following my father just came out of your house and wrote a menu for you."

"Oh, just in time to help me get to my new home."

Only then did the fat man notice that all the things were hanging on him, but his wife was standing beside him empty-handed.

"Didn't you see that you love your wife so much?"

"It's necessary. It's painful for my wife to marry home. Hurry up and help me lift the basket I'm holding."

The fat man let out a soft snort, and without hurting him, he obediently lifted the basket hanging in his hand.

Lin Xiuqing was a little embarrassed, he spoke so bluntly.

People in this age are very reserved.

After preparing all the things that should be bought, Ye Yaodong doesn't need to worry about the next step, he has his own father and mother.

Just for the wine, all the good quality seafood from the day before was picked out and kept on the wharf to keep fresh, and most of Ye Yaodong's cages were also kept, so as to reduce expenses.

Because the Bryde's whales were seen driving the fish school the day before yesterday, the fish stock in the ground cage increased greatly this time, and there were several top-quality large white pomfrets, each weighing more than a catty, which made it more honorable to appear on the wine table.

There are also several red cream crabs, each of which is big and fat. There will always be a bowl of red cream crab glutinous rice at the local banquet.

There are other swimming crabs, prawns, and big sword prawns. They are close to the sea, and 80% of the local wine tables are seafood.

For the locals, moving is a big event, and they are quite particular, not only the banquet dishes, but also some customs.

A pair of lanterns, two bamboo poles, and two brooms are necessary for moving in their local area.

The bamboo pole is a symbol of whether the owner lives in this house.

The local villagers all use bamboo poles to dry their clothes.When the bamboo pole and clothes are still there, it means that the owner is still living here; once the bamboo pole is taken back, it means that the family has left.

And when the bamboo pole is raised in a new place and clothes are hung, it means that the new owner has arrived, so this must be used.

As for lanterns, in the early days, a pair of red lanterns with the surname of the owner of the house would be hung at the door of every household.

Once the lanterns are taken down, it means that the family will move out of this place, and when people see the new lanterns hanging up, they know that the house has a new owner.

There is also a broom, and you need to bring 2 brooms when you move.One is the broom of the old household, and the other is the broom of the new household.Its meaning is to clean up the old house that people lived in so that later people can move in; at the same time, clean up their new house so that they can live in a clean environment.

Some people will take a broom to the door of the post office to sweep on the day of moving, which means sweeping all the money home.

On the day of moving, the bamboo poles and brooms should be wrapped in red paper with Spring Festival couplets, and then tied with red ropes.

Then one red bucket is filled with half a bucket of water, and the other red bucket is filled with rice. Be careful not to spill water on the way from the old home to the new home, and then put the rice into the rice bucket of the new home.

After arriving at the new home, straw must be burned at the door, and people and things must pass over the straw, which is a bit like crossing a brazier.

Then carry the bucket of rice into the door first, followed by the bucket of water. After this bucket of water, you can use it to boil water or cook food, which means to change the water and soil for the family.

Ye Yaodong is very familiar with the process of his previous life, and he doesn't need Ye's mother to remind him.

After completing all the moving procedures, after the red lanterns were hung high, the crackling of firecrackers meant that they had also finished moving.

When it's time to set up the bed, they will move the bed over and set it up.

The three brothers moved in on the same day, but at different times.

The wine is also placed together, and then the expenses will be shared equally, saving trouble.

On this day, even Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye, who hadn't shown up for a long time, also showed up. They greeted each other with joy and laughter. They were all a family and had no overnight feud.

When all the guests have arrived and the seats are full, the sound of firecrackers outside the house is also crackling, which means that the food can be served.

Ye Yaodong's three brothers and Father Ye didn't have time to sit down to eat and drink after the feast, they kept going back and forth among the guests to toast, and when they sat down, they were already blushing and hiccupping.

Lin Xiuqing quickly poured him a few cups of tea to relieve him, and quickly put something in his bowl to eat.

"Why did you drink so much all of a sudden, and didn't eat anything to fill your stomach just now?"

Ye Yaodong smiled at her drunkenly, quietly grabbed her hand with his left hand under the table, and ate vegetables with his right hand.

In the past few months, Lin Xiuqing has gradually gotten used to his occasional and unintentional intimacy, and there is a hint of sweetness in her heart, which is very useful. Anyway, she is almost full, and the two children sit with Mother Ye, Don't use her.

After the banquet was over and all the guests were sent away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the three sisters-in-law immediately helped their men back to their rooms to lie down, and then helped clean up the mess.

Ye Yaodong slept comfortably. He fell asleep from the moment he lay down until the next day. When he touched the warm and fragrant nephrite beside him, he felt that something was wrong with his hand. He opened and closed his eyes reluctantly, only to realize that it belonged to his youngest son. thigh.

He looked around the room in a daze, only to realize that it was a new home, where his two sons were lying crookedly, and his wife was no longer in the house.

Rubbing his temples, he carefully stepped over his eldest son and got off the bed, put on his underwear and went out.

I saw his wife was busy around the stove in an apron.

"What did you cook? Why don't you wear new clothes?"

She said with a smile on her face: "I don't go out, so I cook at home and wear new clothes for what? Don't be made a hole by sparks, then I have no place to cry."

"Okay, what did you cook this morning?"

"Pumpkin porridge, I haven't finished eating the big pumpkins I brought from my mother's house last time. My mother moved two of them the day before yesterday. The meaning of the pumpkins is also good. I want to use them directly to cook pumpkin porridge. By the way, I will use the water I moved yesterday. Cook it with rice and change the water and soil."

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want. The tide is relatively early today, and I will go out to collect the net later."

"I know, so I got up earlier today to cook, and the porridge will be rotten after a while, so why don't you go back and lie down?"

He rubbed his temples, his head was still uncomfortable, "No, I'll brush my teeth and wash my face to wake up."

Lin Xiuqing looked at his back with a smile on her face.
