"Sister-in-law, our bowl is fine!" Ding's mother hurriedly said, "If it doesn't work, let's replace it with a coarse porcelain or pottery bowl." ”

"Hmmm! Reasonable. Aunt Ding nodded in agreement, and said after thinking about it, "The satin quilt at home has also been changed." ”

"Medium!" Ding's mother hurriedly answered.

The two sisters-in-law hurriedly rummaged around the house and collected all the things that should be collected.

The two sat on the kang tiredly, looked at each other and smiled, "It's done." ”

"It's done! Hurry up and make lunch. Ding's father urged.

"Brother, you still beat the gongs and drums to publicize this matter, and every household in the village has to check itself." Aunt Ding looked at Ding's father and said, "Act quickly." ”

"Oh well! I'll go now, and you guys hurry up and cook." "Ding's father went out of the house and rang the gong for work.

One after another, the people of the village gathered in the threshing field.

Seeing that people were almost here, Dad Ding stood on the stone mill, looked at them condescendingly, and said loudly, "After receiving instructions from the superiors, break the old and establish the new...... I'm not alarmist, you must take it seriously, otherwise, if you are pulled by someone, it is light to beat a stick, and you will button your hat, and the whole family will be over in this life. ”

Now the villagers paid attention to it, everyone was an athlete, and they knew what it meant, so they didn't even bother to eat lunch.

Ding's father returned home, and Aunt Ding grabbed him anxiously and said, "Brother, it's bad, it's bad." ”

"What's wrong?" Ding's father looked at her with a frightened face and said, "I'm timid now, don't scare me!" ”

"The archway, big brother, the archway at the entrance of the village, the archway of the dragon king, everyone has to burn incense and worship when they go to sea. That's feudal superstition. Aunt Ding said eagerly, "What should I do?" What to do? It's so big, and it can't be hidden, our dragon king archway is famous in the county, and this must not be saved. ”

"It can't be destroyed, it must not be destroyed." Ding's father immediately said, "That's going to sea to keep safe." ”

"Brother, isn't it up to you? If they want to destroy it, we can't stop it! Buckle your stumbling block to the mass movement. Brother, when is it now, let's take care of ourselves first, what are you still thinking about the archway? ”

"How can I not be concerned, that is to bless us for generations to come......"

Before Ding's father finished speaking, Aunt Ding interrupted, "Brother, we don't care how many generations there are in the front, whether there are generations below, let's take care of our generation first." ”

"You girl, why are you so cold-blooded and ruthless!" Dad Ding glared at her angrily.

"Brother! It's not that I'm cold-blooded, it's that they're crazy, you know? There is no reason at all, what is our small archway, how many temples have been destroyed. Aunt Ding stretched out her hand and rubbed her face.

"That can't either!" Dad Ding said with a tough attitude.

Aunt Ding was anxious, "Why can't you make sense!" He looked at Ding's mother and said, "Sister-in-law, come over and help and convince my brother." ”

"Your brother is so stubborn, he can talk and move." Ding's mother sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, does it have to be like this?" Can this be called superstition? As fishermen, we pray for safety before going out to sea just for good luck. This is our custom here, I heard that the south still worships Mazu! ”

"Then I can't worship it in the future." Aunt Ding immediately said.

Ding's mother said with a sad face, "Now that the above policy is above, why don't I understand it more and more, what does it matter to them." You yourselves are materialists, and we burn incense and worship, and we are in the way of whom. I'm really full, I have nothing to do! ”

"Sister-in-law, you're going to die, why are you saying these terrible words." Aunt Ding pressed down with both hands.

"Not only does your sister-in-law not understand, but I also don't understand." Dad Ding said with a distressed face.

"It's not about figuring out the policy now, what should I do if it's this archway?" Aunt Ding looked at her eldest brother and sister-in-law who were glaring at her and said, "Don't stare at me, it's none of my business." ”

"Old man, let's not be angry with my sister-in-law, okay." Ding's mother retracted her eyes and turned her gaze to Ding's father.

"Who made her a person in the system." Dad Ding said with an unkind face.

"Hey! Big brother, don't bring this, you are also the captain of the production team. Aunt Ding said without showing weakness.

Father Ding was choked half to death when he heard this, and said stubbornly, "Anyway, it can't be dismantled." He glared at her and said, "You have a lot of knowledge, you can find a way!" ”

"Where can I do it?" Aunt Ding sighed helplessly, "If I had a way, I wouldn't let you dismantle it." It's just a symbolic meaning, so what is it really about? ”

"What nonsense? This is the spiritual pillar, the spiritual pillar. Dad Ding said fiercely, pondered for a moment and said, "If it doesn't work, let's worry about all the villagers, raise your hands and vote democratically." ”

"No, no, this will definitely not unify opinions." Ding's mother immediately said, "Everyone has selfish intentions, and it is impossible to put the whole family into it for a cold archway." Looking at him, he shook his head slightly and said, "This is not the time for democracy. ”

"What then?" Dad Ding said anxiously when he heard this.

"Brother, at this time, you have to be arbitrary." Aunt Ding looked at him with staring eyes and said.

"Of course I can say yes." Ding's father said confidently that he still had the final say in the village, and asked in frustration, "But what to do?" ”

Speaking of this, the three of them sighed for a long time.

"Uncle Ding, Uncle Ding." Hao Yinsuo stood in the courtyard and shouted.

"Is it a silver lock?" Ding's father walked out and looked at him and said, "What's the matter?" You're done checking yourself. ”

Hao Yinsuo said with a smile on his face, "Our house is dusty, there is nothing with color, what is there to check." ”

"And what are you doing here?" Ding's father said with a displeased face, he couldn't think of a way, he really couldn't give him a good face.

"Uncle Ding, what's the matter with the kissing beast in our house?" Hao Yinsuo pointed to Wafang Road.

Install a kissing beast on the ridge of the tile house, ward off evil spirits in the town, and pray for peace.

Specifically, Xinghuapo is close to the sea, so most of the kissing beasts are fishtail dragons with wings, and it is said to be a kind of monster in the sea, which looks like an owl and can spray waves and rain, and feels more like a whale.

"This ......" Ding's father walked outside the courtyard and looked at the kissing beast on the ridge and hesitated.

"This can't be knocked out, this is not only for the town, the key is that it also plays a role in drainage. Otherwise, it will rain heavily, and there will be no rain in this house! Ding's mother rushed out of the house and said immediately.

"I know that, that's why I'm hesitant." Dad Ding said with a distressed face, looked up at Aunt Ding standing at the door and said, "Mingyue, you can't be accommodating." ”

"My dear brother!" Aunt Ding smiled bitterly and said, "It's not up to me, who doesn't want to live a peaceful and quiet life, tossing around, I'm sick, and I'm still full and have nothing to do." ”
