Xiao Yue bought three handfuls of incense, three candles and a stack of yellow paper in front of the temple. At this time, the yellow paper was not like the modern yellow color, but the color was blue and a little black gray.

Entering the temple, there was a large incense burner in the middle of the courtyard in front of the main hall of the temple, Xiao Yue followed Zheng's example and lit a handful of incense on the matchpile next to it, and then inserted it into the incense burner. He also lit a candle next to his incense, burned three pieces of yellow paper, and bowed three times in each direction, facing the east, east, west, and north.

When you go in to worship the Buddha, you go around the largest Buddha statue in the middle of the main hall, and there are many small Buddha statues around this Buddha statue, and each Buddha statue puts three sticks of incense in front of it, burns a piece of yellow paper, and knocks three heads.

After the whole circle of worship, return to the middle of the main hall, in the middle of the main hall is the largest Buddha statue, Xiao Yue can't see what it is, so according to Zheng's method, the remaining candles, incense and yellow paper do not need to be lit, all put in front of the Buddha statue, kowtow to the Buddha statue three times, and then silently recite the wish in my heart, get up and bow three times, add some sesame oil money to the merit box, and the worship of the Buddha is completed.

In the corner of the main hall, there are Buddhist scriptures, peace charms, blessing ropes and other things, these things do not need to pay for bought, but everyone will add some sesame oil money, and the things that involve the gods, no matter what kind of character people will not think of taking advantage.

Xiao Yue added a tael of silver sesame oil money, took two peace charms, and two blessing ropes. The peace charm is the same as what I saw in the previous life, but the blessing rope that Xiao Yue got in the temple in the previous life was a red wool, and here is a thin strip cut from a red cloth, and the Zheng family also added a tael of silver to the people in the family to take the peace charm and blessing rope.

After the two of them finished worshipping in the temple, they went to the stage to watch the play, and there were already a lot of people in front of them, so they couldn't hear what the people on the stage were singing, but Xiao Yue guessed that it seemed to be "The Case of Quanmei" according to the costumes they wore and the scene of the performance, and it seemed that they were playing the part that killed the temple. But I don't know what kind of drama they are singing.

It was almost morning, Xiao Yue thought that there was only Yang Changfa alone in the family today, she was not at ease and had no interest, so she bought a few steamed buns, steamed buns, and butter cakes at the stall, and when she saw that there was a seller of stinky tofu, she also bought one, and bought a few apples.

She bought a few steamed buns for her parents, younger brothers and sisters, and also bought some apples, but she didn't buy the family's meat before she finished eating it during the Chinese New Year.

Zheng originally didn't let Xiao Yue buy it, but Xiao Yue bought it and stuffed it for her, but she had no choice but to accept it.

When Xiao Yue returned home, no one from the Yang family came back, she boiled some hot water and ate what she bought with Yang Changfa.

After that, Xiao Yue peeled two apples, gave one to Yang Chang, and she ate one herself, this is the first time Xiao Yue has eaten apples in this time and space, it should be put in the cellar by the person who grows apples, it is not as watery as in autumn, but it is sweeter.

Xiao Yue ate half of the rest and gave it to Yang Changfa, she took out the peace charm, and then made a cyan purse for Yang Changfa, sewing the peace charm into the mezzanine. She has her own purse, so she doesn't have to do it, just sew the peace charm into it, tie one to the door of the two blessing ropes, and one to the window.

After finishing it, Xiao Yue handed the purse to Yang Changfa, "Changfa, you have to wear this purse on your body every day, and there is the peace charm I asked for in the temple today." ”

Yang Changfa nodded, took the purse and smiled innocently, carefully looked at the purse made by his daughter-in-law for himself, put it into his arms and pressed it with his hand, raised his head and saw the daughter-in-law in front of him, and kissed her on the face, thinking: The daughter-in-law is so good, so good to him. He'll definitely wear his purse on his body all the time.

Xiao Yue smiled and avoided him, and the two were playing on the kang.

The fifteenth day of the first month will be over, and the whole year will be over. At this time, the people in the village will go to the town to find some odd jobs to do, after all, there is still more than a month before the spring ploughing.

Only Yang Changgui of the Yang family went to the town to do odd jobs, and Yang Changfa also went to do odd jobs at this time last year, according to the rules handed down in the mountains, hunting is not allowed in spring. Of course, it was impossible for the Wu family to let Yang Changfa be idle, so he also went last year, and he couldn't go this year.

A month passed quickly, and the weather slowly warmed up. Begin spring ploughing, in the spring ploughing time first to turn over the land, there are cattle to use cattle, no cattle people are people to plough, ploughing is a very tiring work, so generally hire other people's cattle to plough the ground.

The Xiao family has little land, and every year after turning over their own land, they hire cattle to make some money.

Wu knew that Xiao Yue's mother's family had a cow, so he wanted Xiao Yue to go back to her mother's house to borrow a cow, so that he could save money.

When Xiao Yue heard this, she really didn't know what to say. Niu can still make some money by hiring others, this is for the Yang family, how can his father be embarrassed to ask for money, the key is that the Yang family is not good to themselves and Changfa, and it is really uncomfortable for them to use it in vain.

Xiao Yue looked at the Wu family and said, "Mother, that's okay, our family will wait!" It's about 10 days before it's time. ”

Wu's triangular eyes glared instantly, "In 10 days, everyone else is going to farm, and our family is turning over the land, how can this be in time?" ”

Xiao Yue's mouth pursed, "Then there is no way, after all, this is what everyone said, my father is not good to let our family plug in front of others." ”

Wu said indifferently: "What about plugging it in?" Isn't that your mom and dad? Why don't you work for your daughter's house first? ”

Xiao Yue said helplessly: "Mother, since you say so, then I can't help it, if others come to the door, don't blame me." ”

Wu imagined it for a while, forget it, those women in the village are not their daughters-in-law, and they may not win if they really quarrel, so they only glared at Xiao Yue fiercely and told her to get out, Xiao Yue left with a dark smile.

Later, the Yang family hired Aunt Tofu's cow, and the Wu family looked for Xiao Yue's ballast for this, but every time Xiao Yue was dissolved with a faint few words, the Wu family was angry, and hated Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue more and more.

After the end of spring ploughing, Yang Changfa's legs were completely healed. Xiao Yue was not at ease, so she took him to the town again, and only after getting Dr. Li's confirmation did she completely put her mind at ease.

In April, Yang Changfa often went hunting in the mountains. He had now learned so well that he went hunting for two days at a time, and the next day at noon he went down the mountain and went straight to the town to sell his game and then go home.

After returning home, he gave Wu a small part of the money, and the rest of the large part was hidden for Xiao Yue.

Wu suspected that Yang Changfa was hiding money, but there was no way. It is impossible for Yang Changfa to take her with him when he goes into the mountains to hunt, and she sells the prey she hunts without seeing it at all, of course she doesn't know how much the prey Yang Changfa can sell.

But she didn't have the courage to search her son's house, she knew in her heart that this son was not close to her, and the reason why he would pay money to herself was just because when his grandfather died, he asked him to be filial to his parents and not to be resentful, otherwise he would have left the Yang family a long time ago. It would be bad if he went to search the house and the son stopped giving him money in a fit of anger.

Yang Chang had already asked Xiao Yue to save 5 taels of silver after going to the mountains a few times, and Xiao Yue knew that he had decided to save money behind the Yang family's back because of his words on the thirtieth night.

Yang Changfa's previous idea was that he didn't have much burden, and he just worked hard to earn money after splitting up. Xiao Yue's words made him realize that he wanted to give his wife and children a home, a home that belonged to them, a home that could shelter him from the wind and rain.

Xiao Yue felt that Yang Chang found that it was a good phenomenon to know that he had to seize the opportunity to save money, and the foundation of the two of them was thin and nothing, so he could only work hard to make money, after all, if he had more money, he would have confidence in his heart.

In April, the Yang family also ushered in a major event, and Yang Changfu was going to the examination institute. After breakfast that day, Wu summoned all the people in the family to the hall to discuss the matter.

Wu and Old Man Yang sat in the middle, Yang Changfu and Lin sat on the left, Li and Yang Changgui sat on the left, and Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa were on the left. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wu glanced at Old Man Yang.

Old Man Yang coughed and then said: "I called you over today to discuss the matter of the old third hospital exam, there are still 10 days to take the exam, the third child has to leave tomorrow, you are all his brothers and sisters-in-law, tell me how much money can be paid to him for this hospital exam?" ”

Xiao Yue's eyes turned cold, and sure enough, this was the case.

After Old Man Yang finished speaking, no one spoke, and the Wu family couldn't help it, "You are all deaf, what a big deal is this, the third child has the life to be a big official, and when he becomes a big official, will he have less money?" ”

Xiao Yue is really convinced, is it useful to draw cakes to satisfy hunger forever? Li's face is not good-looking, their family has four children, the expenses are not small, and they have to save their own money.

When Old Man Yang saw that no one spoke, his face immediately turned black, "Okay, you don't speak, right, okay, 20 taels per room." ”

The Li family, Yang Fugui, Xiao Yue, and Yang Changfa all looked at Old Man Yang in surprise, this lion is too powerful, 20 taels, how long do you have to save, especially since the Yang family is not separated, all the money has to be handed over to the Wu family, how much private money can be saved in private.

Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa have almost 60 taels of silver, but the two still have to prepare for the separation, and that money is not enough.

Li couldn't help it at first, "Dad, mother, our family is not separated, all the money is in the hands of the mother, how can we have the money to make entanglements for the third child." ”

Wu glanced at her, "Phew, do you think the old lady doesn't know, who of you in private didn't secretly save private money, your dowry is in your own hands, and now let you take out some of it, it hurts too." ”

Wu was embarrassed to say that there was someone in the village who would use his daughter-in-law's dowry money, but Wu's words were justified.

Li Shi glared and said, "20 taels, where are we going to save so much money, sell the child or rob it." ”

Old Man Yang asked with a dark face, "Then how much can you come up with." ”
