Because it is the most solemn memorial, even if Xie Shen is seriously ill, he must participate.

Chu Yue didn't think about anything, but Xie Shen deliberately took out a new set of clothes and gave it to Chu Yue: "This is a festival that is even more grand than the New Year's Festival, although we are poor, we can't lose our dignity." ”

Because the first moon is newly married, this set of clothes is pink. It seems that he is attentive, although Chu Yue doesn't like pink, she also misses Xie Shen's kindness to her.

The people next to them don't pay so much attention to it, but the Xie family is too poor.

The grandmother of the Xie family used to be from Beijing, but now she has implemented the rules of Beijing in this small fishing village: what should be paid to the memorial service in the order of the eldest and youngest, and there are rules for everyone's seat.

The male left is respected, and the female right is supplemented, but if Chu Yue and Xie Siyun sit separately, Chu Yue is really a little unwilling.

Fortunately, Xie Siyun himself mentioned it, saying that his sick and weak body needed Chu Yue's care, so he simply let Chu Yue and Xie Shen be by his side, and on a big day like today, Dafang didn't embarrass them too much.

The altar was placed on the beach, and such a poor village did not know how much it cost to invite the sacrifice of the god dance.

The sun above his head is getting bigger and bigger, and the early moon today doesn't have much to watch the sunrise, but he just feels that the sun hurts people's heads.

It's about to be the hottest time, and Chu Yue was thinking about how to hide from the sun, but suddenly she felt a cloud above her head—

When I looked closely, it turned out that Xie Siyun got an oil umbrella out of nowhere and handed it to Xie An, and Xie An hit them on the top of their heads, really covering up a little bit of the increasingly vicious sun!

However, when they act like this, naturally some people want to gossip: "That's the Xie family's three rooms?" Tut-tut...... It's really like a woman, not like our man by the sea! ”

"Not only is he weak, but he also likes to make trouble, don't you see? The black, loach-like boy with the umbrella was the one they picked up! Said that he was going to participate in our competition this time, do you say it's a joke? ”

"Isn't it? Knowing that he is weak, it would be good to cling to his family, and I don't know what kind of demon this is, they participate in the competition, I am afraid that they will drown in the sea before they even touch the pearl mussels, right? ”

"Hahaha, you say that if they really drown, will we save them or not?"

……

The village is so big, and the gossip is all around, and Chu Yue is angry when he hears it.

Looking down at Xie Siyun who was sitting in front of him, he looked like he hadn't heard anything, and watched the ceremony of sacrificing the Dragon King intently, as if that was the top priority.

When it was their turn to make sacrifices to the Xie family, the entire village exclaimed for their "generosity".

But Xie Honghui, who was sitting in front, turned his head and whispered to them: "This pig is twenty taels, except for my father and mother, and I will divide it equally among our four rooms, which is five taels of silver for each room." Your aunt means that when this memorial service is over and you have the pearl paddy field, you must pay back all the money you owe, otherwise you will have to calculate your interest, and you don't have to blame! ”

Yes, come and go for these things. The money they had earned in the early days was not known for how long.

Xie Shen looked at Xie Siyun with a worried expression, but after Xie Siyun coughed slightly, he said politely to Xie Honghui: "Okay, when the time comes, I will ask my uncle and aunt to make a bill for the accounts we owe over the years. ”

How can anyone in the countryside know how to make bills?

But Xie Siyun's words were also reasonable, but for a while, Xie Honghui didn't know what to say, so he could only nod slightly, and then looked at Yan Sulan, who was sitting opposite, with a look of embarrassment.

Soon the ritual was over, and it was time for everyone to pay the most attention: the pearl diving competition.

The population of Pearl Village is not large, and even if it is a family, it is no more than 50 people.

Therefore, there is time to ask the village chief to report the name of the person who is about to dive pearls.

Everyone else is an old acquaintance who has always heard about it over the years, but as soon as the name "Xie An" of the Xie family's third room appeared, it caused a lot of criticism like a thunderclap on the ground.

The discussion of others Chu Yue and Xie Siyun naturally didn't pay attention to it, but Xie Honghui seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, and turned his head to reprimand them: "Look what are you doing?" It made our Xie family a joke in the entire Pearl Village. It doesn't matter where he picked up a loach that eats and drinks for nothing, but he still has to be allowed to participate in the triennial competition. Si Yun, Si Yun, are you afraid that you will go crazy after marrying your daughter-in-law, right? ”

Together with Xie Honghui, the old man and wife of the Xie family in front of him were also unforgiving: "The Xie family is a big family in Pearl Village, and now people are talking about it like this, and they have lost their face!" We're going to see if there is anyone to save you after your Xie An boy drowned after he got into the water! ”
