fisherwoman

"They're gone?" Mrs. Yang was sitting in front of the stove lighting a fire, and when she saw Xiao Jingzhi coming back from outside, she asked expressionlessly.

"Well, let's go." Then, he patted her shoulder again, and said in a deep voice, "After all, you are a junior, don't worry about them. Too many things happened one after another these days, which made you tired!"

"My children, what do I care about with them, but you know, I'm not stingy, the money for my sister's grave should not have been taken by the third child. In the end, it was all because of me. If I hadn't been..."

"Don't talk about it, I know it all. I will give the money to the third daughter-in-law later. She doesn't need to pay the money. I will be fair to anyone. I will not wrong anyone or favor anyone. I will do what I want. Everything can't be done." Breaking the rules." Xiao Jingzhi interrupted her, and said in a low voice, "Don't always mention the past, if the children hear it, it's always bad."

The two sighed in unison, and fell silent.

A few gongs and drums sounded from far away on the street, especially loud and clear in the silent morning.

Holding a gong, Wang Dahai walked down the streets beating on it, and shouted loudly: "Everyone has gathered at the seaside, the chief of the village is going to have a meeting!"

"Who! What's the knock in the morning? It's so annoying!" Xiao Yun turned over, muttered impatiently, grabbed the quilt, and covered his head.

"Big sister, get up quickly, your eldest brother and second brother are not here, you will call your third sister-in-law to go to the seaside for a meeting, and go to see your third brother, why haven't you come back? Why are you always on duty lately? It's clearly intentional." Don’t want to come back, alas! None of these children can rest easy.” Muttering in her mouth, Yang opened the door and walked into Xiao Yun’s room, pulling her quilt and shouting, “Get up quickly, your father has already eaten After dinner and left, you are still sleeping here."

"Don't disturb me, I'll sleep for a while." Xiao Yun shrank back into the bed again, and yawned, he was so sleepy!

"Mother, let me go with the third sister-in-law!" Xiao Qing walked in and said softly.

"You?" Seeing that she had packed up and dressed neatly, Mrs. Yang looked like a spring breeze, "You are in good shape, so don't go out."

"Mother, I'm fine, let me go out to get some air!" She gently shook her mother's arm, with the tenderness of a little girl.

"Mother, if she wants to go, let her go. Anyway, there are so many people there, and my third sister-in-law is with me. Are you afraid that she will run away?" Xiao Yun poked his head out from under the covers and said solemnly.

Xiao Qing looked at her sister, turned around and walked out without saying a word.

"Okay, mother promises you." Seeing Xiao Qing's displeasure, Mrs. Yang quickly followed and walked out, "Go and see if your third sister-in-law has eaten, and let her go with you."

"Got it!" Xiao Qing walked straight towards the small wooden door.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, idiot!" Xiao Yun snorted at her back, and got under the covers again.

The beach by the sea was gradually filled with people, all of whom were from the village who came to the meeting. There were also some cats and dogs on the beach who followed their owners. They played and ran on the beach from time to time, laughing nonstop.

Everyone gathered together, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

The sea breeze was cold, Xiao Qing took Lin Xueman's hand, entered an abandoned boat, hid in the cabin, and looked at the noisy crowd with her head.

"When the sea is held every year, the head of the district holds a meeting. The main thing is to talk about the things that need to be paid attention to during the sea festival. In fact, it's not a big deal." Seeing that Lin Xueman was a little puzzled, Xiao Qing explained.

"When is the festival to the sea?" Lin Xueman asked.

"Ten days later, it will be the 28th of the twelfth lunar month every year, but the preparations will start now." Xiao Qing said, but her eyes swept around the crowd, she was still waiting for that person, he will definitely come.

Lin Xueman saw a few men holding some long strips of red cloth in their hands and surrounding the boat moored on the beach, it was very festive.

Suddenly, another gong sounded in front, which startled people.

Zhao Shun, who was neatly dressed, stepped on the sound of the gong, and walked quickly onto the wooden box that had been set up beforehand. He cleared his throat, scanned the crowd majestically, and said loudly: "Everyone, stop talking, the meeting is now in session. .”

The crowd was much quieter, but there were still people laughing quietly.

Standing on the box, Zhao Shun felt that he was still a little short, so he asked someone to move a stool, stood on it, and then said, "From today onwards, we will prepare to sacrifice to the sea. Until the 28th, there are still ten days left." Time, let me talk about the things to pay attention to in these ten days, you all listen to me, the first point, these red cloth strips around the boat are to attract the attention of the Dragon Lord, let him bless our boats Yes, it cannot be moved easily."

His eyes slowly scanned the crowd, and he said bitterly: "Last year, some bastards quietly stole these cloth strips home before the sea sacrifice was over, and made them for their daughter-in-law. It's really shameless to wear a belt, as for who those bastards are, I know it well, don't think I don't know, don't you think your daughter-in-law will drop her pants if she doesn't have this belt?"

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd.

The black-faced men immediately lowered their heads, probably out of guilty conscience!

"Wang Dahai, did you fucking take it?" Zhao Shun pointed at Wang Dahai who was standing deep in the crowd, and asked loudly.

"Lichang, I didn't take it, I don't have a wife." Wang Dahai held a copper gong in his hand, and lowered his head timidly, not daring to look directly at Zhao Shun. A few days ago, he was so angry that he killed the Lichang The dog at home always feels a little guilty.

"Well, I know you don't have a daughter-in-law, who would fall in love with you, a coward, you think you are a hero if you beat my dog ​​to death, ah bah, I heard that when you were looking for chickens, you were killed by Xiao The eldest sister chased and beat you, you are still a man, shame on you!"

Wang Dahai was silent, and there were a few laughs from the crowd.

Lin Xueman couldn't help pursing her lips and sniggering, this chief is really funny!

"After talking about these cloth strips, let's talk about the second point. The second point is our annual offerings. Everyone knows that the offerings are used to honor the Dragon Lord. Our village is a fishing village. We live on this sea all year round. You should thank the Dragon Lord and make some delicious food, but what about you? How did you do it?"

There was a silence in the crowd.

There is only the sound of waves beating against the rocks in front, and occasionally one or two seabirds chirping.

"Don't think I don't know, just say that I made a bowl of meat! In fact, there are only a few slices of meat on the top, and the bottom is full of Chinese cabbage. After the sacrifice to the sea, there is a layer of Chinese cabbage floating on the sea. This is a serious problem! You guys Is it right to pat your conscience?" Zhao Shunyue said more and more excitedly, "In the end, it's all about the women at home, if you put more meat, it will make you feel so distressed?"

"Lichang, what's so serious about this matter? To put it bluntly, it means that if it is all made into meat and dumped into the sea, wouldn't it be a waste?" A woman in the crowd muttered dissatisfiedly, with a thin voice. .

Lin Xueman recognized that voice, it was Lady Herring!

Standing next to Mrs. Herring was a dark-skinned man, wearing a coarse cotton jacket and trousers, looking extra bloated, with a naive smile on his face.

"Hey, I said Liu Qingyu, you are dead! You don't care if your wife talks back to the chief?" Zhao Shun shouted dissatisfiedly at the man.

"Li Zhang, I didn't do these things, and I can't control them." Liu Qingyu scratched her head and smiled.

"You bastard, you deserve to be worthless all your life, and you don't even dare to fart in front of your wife, trash!" Zhao Shun reprimanded with hatred.

Lady Qingyu wanted to say something, but was quietly pulled away by the man beside her, and then angrily pushed her away from the crowd and walked away.
