In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Li Duoyu stayed in the office for a while.

went straight home.

The village director does not have a clear requirement to be on duty. When the main thing is to deal with things, he can come to the village committee.

In addition, the system has just been restructured, and many systems are not perfect. In a short period of time, he, the village director, really has no job to do.

So Li Duoyu returned home first.

Zhou Xiaoying and Zhu Xiuhua followed Chen Huiying to prepare various things for the farewell.

Because the first day of July and the second day of the first day of July will be two consecutive days, the "good brothers" will be invited to dinner.

Every Hungry Ghost Festival is also the time when the customs of Dandan Island are the most chaotic.

The Purdue Festival is celebrated in Chenjiacun.

Purdue Festival is a traditional folk festival formed by combining the Taoist Hungry Ghost Festival and the Buddhist Obon Festival.

As for Xiasha Village, because people come from all directions, every time the Ghost Festival comes, there will be neighbors who will fight each other.

Some have done half a paragraph.

Some are called Shi Gu.

Some have to go to Purdue.

But Li Duoyu's family is more complicated, because their ancestors came from Rongcheng, so they also have to "do half of it".

Doing half a paragraph means that half of the year has passed. On the day of Zhongyuan Festival, we should celebrate the harvest and worship the ancestors.

To put it simply, it is to treat guests to dinner.

And my mother, Chen Huiying, is from Chenjia Village, and she also wants to do Pudu, so during the Ghost Festival, their family not only has to "do half-duan" but also "do Pudu", which is quite confusing.

However, no matter how this festival goes.

In general, this month is a non-stop goodbye and treat "guests" to dinner.

It's not that I come to your house to eat.

That is, you come to my house to eat.

The more you pray, the more everyone will eat. If you can’t finish eating, please invite relatives and friends to eat together.

And on the last night of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Chen Huiying would specifically tell the children that they were not allowed to go to the beach to play for the whole month.

And once past twelve o'clock.

A Niang will light a square lantern at the door. Chen Huiying said that this is called a street lamp, and it is for "good brothers" to illuminate the road.

Li Duoyu also knew about it.

Why do they pay so much attention to the Ghost Festival in this area? The older generation said that when there were pirates in the past, fishermen were often killed along the coast, and their bodies were even confiscated.

The surviving fishermen held the Hungry Ghost Festival in a grand manner in order to offer sacrifices to these murdered folks.

And another way of saying it is.

At that time, the Qing army and Zheng Chenggong's army launched a long-term tug-of-war in their area. In order to deter the anti-Qing soldiers and civilians, the Qing army organized many large-scale massacres, which led to the custom of heavy Pudu.

In later generations, due to the increasing number of fishermen.

There were many shipwrecks.

It gradually evolved into offering sacrifices to those "good brothers" who died at sea.

And every year during the Hungry Ghost Festival, Zhou Xiaoying would be extra serious, but because her parents died in a shipwreck.

He was influenced by Chen Huiying since he was a child.

She attaches great importance to this festival.

Usually, I would be reluctant to buy even a piece of meat, but when it comes to the seventh month of the lunar calendar, I will not be vague at all when I spend money.

What gold paper, silver paper.

Three sacrifices and five rituals.

Everything that should be there will be there.

Unlike ordinary fishermen, fishermen who have never had an accident at home only need a simple sacrifice on the first day of July, the day when the gate of ghosts opens.

Just put some simple fruit biscuits goodbye at the door of the house, and burn some paper money.

And something happened at home.

Generally, a big sacrifice is required, a table of sumptuous dishes is made, and a lot of paper money is burned.

After Zhou Xiaoying finished burning the paper money, she took the incense and bowed toward the sea.

There were still words in his mouth.

"Father and mother, I am fine now, Duoyu is fine, and my son is also very good. I hope you can rest assured that you don't need to miss me too much, as soon as possible."

After Zhou Xiaoying finished worshiping.

The eye sockets couldn't help turning red.

Seeing her like this, Li Duoyu realized how stupid he was in his previous life.

In this month in the previous life, Li Duoyu and Agui ate and drank everywhere every day, treating Purdue as a running water banquet, completely forgetting the original meaning of Purdue.

However, when they said goodbye.

Unexpectedly, but not unexpectedly, an unexpected person came, and the old lady ran to their house again with a cane.

This time, I didn't come to find his father.

Instead, they called "Uncle Wu".

Although everyone knew that she had Alzheimer's disease, she was still very angry with his mother Chen Huiying.

The reason is that in previous years, the old lady could not help but get sick every July.

For a whole month, people in Chenjia Village were scolded, but Chen Huiying was the one who scolded the most. Once she found out that Chen Huiying was "doing Purdue".

He even ran over and lifted her table and said some very ugly things.

In previous years, when doing Purdue on the Ghost Festival, what Chen Huiying hated the most was the old lady with bound feet.

But this time, although she didn't swear at people anymore, and she didn't lift the table, but when she came to them, she kept chanting the name of "Fifth Uncle".

It's not much different from flipping a table.

After Chen Huiying saw the old lady, she went back to the room angrily, and she was completely out of sight.

After the old lady couldn't find Fifth Uncle, she didn't go to his son Li Zhengtian, but to Li Duoyu, and started to look him up.

"I remember you, you often play with our Yujun, I haven't seen Yujun for a long time, do you know where he is?"

After seeing the old lady.

Li Duoyu also had mixed feelings, so he had to lie to her and say, "Yujun went to college, and he won't be back so soon."

"He's so promising, he's still in college."

The old lady seemed very happy, then she looked at Zhou Xiaoying who was holding the child, and glanced at the child: "Your child looks really good-looking."

"Ah."

Li Duoyu nodded.

The old lady was probably tired from walking, so she sat on the stone slab in their courtyard, and then stared blankly at the sea in front of her.

The whole person seemed to have lost his soul, motionless, and did not say a word.

And not long after.

The third uncle and the third aunt rushed over.

The old lady was taken back immediately, and the third uncle said with a sorry face: "Duoyu, your grandma didn't lift your table this time, right?"

Li Duoyu shook his head: "No."

"That's good." The third uncle sighed: "This is dementia, why do I come to your house every year at this time."

Li Duoyu smiled helplessly: "Maybe I'm used to it."

"Then let's go first."

However, Li Duoyu found that the old lady had lost a lot of weight recently. She was a person who paid great attention to personal image and hygiene. Even if she was at home every day, her hair was still very nice.

But this time when he came out, his hair was disheveled, and the buttons on his clothes were buttoned in many wrong positions.

And Li Duoyu could clearly smell it.

The old lady already has a smell on her body.

This month, we have been worshiping and eating like this. On July [-]th, there are also rituals such as "water lanterns".

Until after July [-]th.

Bye bye is reduced.

However, due to praying too much and Zhou Xiaoying doesn't like to eat, Li Duoyu has gained more than ten catties abruptly in the past half a month.

The belly was exposed.

And on the second day after finishing Purdue, my uncle Chen Dongqing came to the door with a happy face, and said to Li Duoyu:
"The time for the inspection team has been confirmed. Next month, Rongcheng University will open a special Japanese class for us. The members of the inspection group will have to go to the university for half a month of training."

"Half a month?"

Chen Dongqing nodded.

"But it's the July Ghost Festival."

Chen Dongqing said with disgust, "Don't be so superstitious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Huiying came out of the house and glared at him.

Chen Dongqing hesitated for a second, but still said: "Sister, there are priorities, this opportunity is really rare."

Li Duoyu, who already knew Japanese, really didn't want to relearn the fifty syllables, nor did she want to relearn the etiquette of the island country.

"Then I'll just play around and go for two days, okay?"

Chen Dongqing was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, and when others fought for a spot, you still had a fucking face of reluctance.

"No, the leader above specifically told me to supervise your Japanese learning. If you don't learn Japanese well, you will deduct my wages."

"Then deduct it."

"Li Duoyu, you are too much, believe it or not, I will bite you."

"come."

Seeing that the two were arguing, Zhou Xiaoying said, "Go, I'm at home, don't worry, Auntie will help take care of it."

There is someone in the family who can go to the island country for inspection, and they have a bright face, so they naturally support it.

Old Li, who was smoking a cigarette, smiled all over his face: "I will show you the oyster field. You are now the village director. Go out and learn something with your uncle."

Li Haoran said with a smile: "Uncle, you are over there, there are delicious food, remember to bring some back for me."

Li Yaoguo couldn't help but want to beat up his son: "You kid, why do you know how to eat and drink all day long?"
