This time, Beigou Village is lively again, even more lively than when the peony blooms. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Liu Guo is more intentional to set up Beigou Village as a model and praise it greatly; The villages were looking at the pipes that were rushing out of the water, their eyes were red with envy, and they were eager to immediately go into the mountains with axes to cut bamboo and build waterways. As a result, the villagers of 35 villages in Huangxian County plus the residents of a city, but everyone who is free wants to go to Beigou Village to see the water and drink water, and these people add up to more than the temple fair!

After a few days of work, the fields and hillsides have been renewed, and the tender green grass and vegetable seedlings are so bright that people can't open their eyes; It's enviable that I can't go up and take two bites. The fast-thinking villagers, under the guidance of Li Zheng, turned over the ground to plant vegetables, spinach, celery, leeks and other vegetables with fast growth cycles were planted in large quantities, seeing that day by day was getting more and more sued, and it would be served on the table in ten days and a half months.

Their fields are already full, and no matter how much water they have, they will flow down the stream and into the mountains, so it is better to befriend the surrounding villagers. The shrewd Zhao Lizheng agreed to let several nearby villages, including Zhoujia Village, Lijia Village, Beigoutou Village, Qingxi Village, and Qingdong Village, pull up bamboo pipes to borrow water to water the ground. But they also put forward conditions, that is, they had to pay not only 100 yuan per mu for water, but also agreed to set up a market in Beigou Village on the 5th, 15th and 25th days of the first month of each month. The villages couldn't, so they had to agree, and the villagers of Beigou Village applauded.

Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the first market day in Beigou Village. Early in the morning, two long firecrackers sounded at the entrance of Beigou Village, Zhao Li was leading the villagers to worship the God of Wealth, and the market was erected on the east and west streets in the middle of Beigou Village. In order to celebrate, Zhao Li is letting people speak, but those who come to Beigou Village to sell things will not be charged, but those who come to the market to buy things can receive a portrait of Zhang Tianshi at the entrance of the village department.

The more calamities there are, the more sincere the people's worship of God becomes, and even if they are hungry, they must tighten their belts and prepare the things for the festival. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the gods to be sacrificed are Zhang Tianshi, Qu Yuan and Cao E, etc., and the statue of Zhang Tianshi to suppress evil spirits and harm diseases is indispensable. The statue of Zhang Tianshi is best made of wormwood, mud and garlic to hang at the door, so there is a sentence of "colorful bamboo tube rice fragrance, thousands of doors knot mugwort sideburns and hair" spread. But this year, Ai Shao, garlic is even more scarce, and I can't bear the statue of the Heavenly Master, can I get a back post from Beigou Village without spending a penny, which one can not come?

"Thirty-four villages, each village sent a person to sit in the courtyard of the village department, and when the people from their village came, they took a statue of the Heavenly Master from the table in front of him, mother, but it was lively." Yu'er's eyes flashed with happiness, and she told Lan Yi about the scene of the bazaar, "Erhe and Sanhe are both weighing meat in the back, and Dama sister-in-law and Sihe brother are helping Uncle Niang sell braised meat, and the family's faces are smiling; The grocery store's business is good, and even Niu Dan and Sister Erni also help to look after the shop. The other shops that have just been erected are not doing badly. However, it is not as good as the business of our inn, and there is no place for people who go to eat snacks and drink tea. ”

The village set up a market day every Friday, and the rest day of Yixue every ten years was also changed to this day, this time it was particularly different, plus the Dragon Boat Festival, this time Zhao Lizheng specially discussed with Yang Fuzi of Yixue, Yixue had a three-day holiday to celebrate, and the children in the village were crazy.

Lan Yi was also extremely happy, listening to Yu'er happily.

"Therefore, goodness is like water, and water is the spirit of the mountain and the foundation of life." Yu'er shook her head and said, "The waterway we build is the way to live." ”

"What the Master told you?" Lan Yi asked curiously. Yu'er shook her head, picked up a sour plum and sent it to her mother's mouth, and watched her eat it before saying, "It was said when Grandpa Meng and Grandpa Ji were chatting." ”

Mr. Jingxiao's name is Ji Yuezhi, and Yu'er likes to listen to him chat with Mr. Nameless, and thinks that what they say is very reasonable, and she keeps everything they say in mind.

It is not true that life cannot be separated from water, and rivers such as the Yellow River, the Nile, the Ganges, the Euphrates and the Tigris, are they the ones that gave birth to human civilization. Lan Yi pinched Yu'er's little face approvingly, "Yu'er is doing a good job, I will listen to the two gentlemen chat more when I have time, they are both knowledgeable people, and they will be of great help to you." ”

Yu'er rubbed it in her mother's palm, and said comfortably, "Well, 'Listen to your words, it's better to read for ten years', mother, am I right?" ”

Lan Yi told them the story of the butcher and Xiucai, and Yu'er was very impressed by this sentence. Lan Yi looked at him and said, "You are very right, Grandpa Meng and Grandpa Ji can fully afford the word 'Jun'. If you have any confusion in your reading, you can ask them for advice. ”

Yu'er nodded, and the two mothers and sons snuggled up on the bamboo bed, quietly listening to the cries of selling across the two streets, feeling that life was so beautiful.

"Mother, when my sister is older, I'll teach her to read, okay?" Yu'er asked softly.

"Of course." Lan Yi looked up at a few bunches of late-blooming locust flowers among the dense branches and leaves of the old locust tree, "Yu'er writes well, and understands the meaning of the words well, following you to recognize words, my sister will definitely become the best little girl in our village to read." ”

Yu'er's eyes were filled with a layer of mist, and he looked down and wiped his eyes embarrassedly, "Mother, I'll also go and help grandma sell pills, where is my brother alone, I don't worry." After speaking, he sensibly pulled up the quilt and put it on his mother's body, "You rest here for a while, don't fall asleep, I'll bring my mother delicious apricots back later, there are some in the market." ”

Not long after Yu'er went out, Ruhua returned.

Jia Shi also set up a stall in the market today to sell all kinds of pills, such as Hua and Wenxuan, to help. Jia's fame is not small, coupled with the fact that Liang Jin has come to the village several times recently to "consult" with her about medical skills, which has made her famous, the pills are selling quickly, Ruhua, who ran to help, has already come back to get the medicine twice, Lan Yi didn't expect to come back so soon, "The medicine is sold out again?" ”

Ruhua shook her head, "Madam, Lan Junzheng is here, I asked Shui Xiu to follow him, it seems that he is going to the inn." ”

Lan Yi sat up, "What is he doing in the village at this time?" ”

The Lan family killed Lan Yi and Wen Xuan several times, even though Lan Ruhai was arrested and the Lan family declined, but they couldn't help but be unvigilant, the master arranged the two of them next to Lan Yi's mother and son, just to protect them, "With him, there are also Wang Tianzhi of the Meixian Wang family and another young scholar, aren't they here to find Mr. Nameless?" ”

Lan Yi smiled slightly, if she guessed correctly, the other scholar should be Zhang Pingyu's younger brother Zhang Pingsheng, who worshiped under Mr. Nameless.

"The village is really getting more and more lively."
