Chapter 134: The Sense of Ritual of the Mid-Autumn Festival

Pulling the weeds along the road all the way, walking on the path behind the mountain, they also often come, because there are wild fruits on the mountain, and the villagers plant fruit trees, everyone went up the mountain to steal when they were young, and now it is the turn of the next generation to steal on the mountain.

There are also some sheep droppings along the way, and you can see a row of small wooden houses on the mountains in the distance, and occasionally you can hear a few sheep cries and the cries of other wild animals.

But after walking for a short while, they saw that one tree had grown not far away, and then several trees had grown in other places, scattered apart.

"The mess on the side of the road is yours." Ye Yaodong affirmed.

"Yes, it's only been planted for a few years, and I haven't applied much fertilizer, but the growth is quite good, maybe there are those sheep as fertilizer, you can cut it casually, my family can't eat so much."

"I can't eat that much, why didn't you call us to come and pick it last year? We can help you eat it!" Xiao Wan immediately rushed towards the nearest one with a bamboo pole.

"You didn't say you wanted it? My father is not at home, so much, I don't bother to bother to pick it, and I can't eat much, so I ask my uncle to pick it, and I only keep a little bit for myself, just enough to eat."

Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder, "Call me in the future, I don't have too much, and I have too many family members."

"If only you didn't bother."

"Catch Ming'er, I also plant two trees at the back door of my house."

As he spoke, he walked towards Xiaoxiao, who was shouting for him to go over and help cut it.

Ah Guang said that he didn't want to do it, but he still helped pick several handfuls.

Ye Yaodong looked at the dozen strings of plantains at his feet, and hurriedly stopped the little ones who were going to continue, "It's almost enough, don't pick it again, it will be bad if you don't finish it after two or three days of cooking, just eat it later."

Xiao Xiao looked up at the banana tree unsatisfied, "Then come back in a few days."

The three of them shared a little, but Ah Guang took the least, according to his words, the whole mountain is his back garden, and he can come to pick it at any time.

After dividing it, he took two sacks from Ah Guang, and Ye Yaodong and Xiaoxiao carried a sack of bananas and walked back.

When they reached the fork in the road in the village, the two went their separate ways and went back to their respective homes, but they had not yet walked a few steps......

", I haven't chopped firewood yet, Dongzi, Dongzi, don't go, I haven't chopped firewood yet......

Ye Yaodong shouted behind him, and immediately ran away, and they all came back, who would go with him to the mountains to chop firewood?

"Don't run if you step on a horse!"

"You can take the bananas home and pick up some dead branches......

"Together...... Don't run~it~"

Ye Yaodong carried the sack and ran until there was no movement behind him, he stopped to catch his breath, the sack of plantain on his back was not light, he must take it home first.

A big man chops wood on the mountain, what to accompany?

As for him chopping wood, he turned into chopping plantains and went back, and there was not a single branch, so I don't know if he would be scolded and beaten? Hey~

Ye Yaodong returned with a full load, carrying a sack of bananas, and walked home slowly in a good mood.

….

The old lady sat idle at the door and chatted with the old lady of the neighbor's house, and by the way, she looked at a group of children playing at the door, and saw him from afar, and only when she got closer, did she say, "Where have you been?" What's the sack you're carrying?"

The other children also gathered around when they saw it, "Ah, third uncle, what did you bring back?"

"What's in the bag?"

"Show me, show me."

The little one was not tall enough, so he stood there on tiptoe and stretched out his head to look.

"Go, go, don't get in the way here, you can only eat it when it's cooked, you can't eat it now."

Ye Chenghai glanced at the sack, "It's a native banana, and your mouth will be numb if it's not ripe."

"Just know, lead them to the side

Let's play."

After finishing talking to a few children, Ye Yaodong said to the old lady, "Go to Ah Guang to pick the local bananas, and when they are ripe, they will be eaten for you."

The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Hey, good."

The old lady next to her smiled and said, "Your little grandson is very filial, he fits you with dentures, and even picks bananas for you to eat."

"Yes, Dongzi is the most filial......

Ye Yaodong listened to the old lady praising him sparingly, feeling a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly carried the sack into the house, handed over the plantain to his mother to wrap in old newspapers, and put them together with the persimmons.

At noon, I cooked noodles at home and ate a little bit, and waited until four or five o'clock in the evening before the official meal began.

As soon as the children heard that the meal was open, they all ran into the house screaming, climbed directly on the stool, and reached out to grab something to eat.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly stopped them, "Stretch out your hands to take a look first?"

Everyone didn't know why, but they still obediently spread out their hands, and the results were more scary than the other.

I didn't open my eyes to see it, and I didn't even know how dirty my hands were.

"You've been playing on the ground, and you dare to grab something to eat with such hands, it's scared to death."

"Didn't you adults say that you can't do it cleanly, and you don't get sick after eating?"

"That's talking about things, look at your own hands, do you dare to grab something to eat?"

Ye Chenghai stuck out his tongue and consciously hurried to wash his hands, and the others followed closely.

Ye Mu's voice suddenly came from the back door, "Why are you willing to wash your hands today? and all of them to be washed."

"The third uncle hates us for being dirty!"

"He wasn't much cleaner than you when he was a kid."

"Well, he's embarrassed to laugh at us......

Mother Ye washed their hands one by one before rushing them to the table, and the family was neatly seated at a large table.

After building the house, their family resumed three porridges a day, and began to live a careful life again, and today they can finally open up to eat again.

The children were very excited, and after serving the table, they directly picked up the fast child and went to their favorite dishes.

The bowl of prawns that Ye Yaodong left back yesterday was the most popular, he just stretched a little slower, and half of the whole bowl of shrimp was sandwiched into the bowl by Ye Chenghai, and the rest was divided by a few children.

He raised his eyebrows, and was about to say a few words to him, but Sister-in-law Ye scolded first, "You eat alone, and no one else wants to eat it, right?"

Only then did he take out all the shrimp aggrievedly, and the other children honestly didn't dare to clip too much, so they all came out, and Ye Yaodong was satisfied with the wife, children, and old lady to clip one.

….

Fortunately, the family will be separated soon, and each family will eat its own family at that time, otherwise the good things that I left back, my wife and children will not be able to mix a bite.

The children were quiet for a while, and after a few bites, they began to make noise again, and those who couldn't catch them were screaming there......

After a lively meal, before the adults finished eating, they clamored to sacrifice the moon.

In this era, they had the custom of sacrificing to the moon on the fifteenth day of August, and after 2,000 years, there would be no human sacrifice, and many customs disappeared in the ocean of time.

"It's not dark yet, what moon to sacrifice, go out to play first, and then sacrifice the moon when it's dark."

When everyone heard this, they had to wait at the door, and when the moon came out after dark, they ran into the house as soon as possible, shouting to sacrifice the moon.

Mother Ye's big head could only go and take out the moon cakes sent by Dongzi's aunt a few days ago.

This moon cake is quite large, about 20 cm in diameter, Aunt Ye is very thoughtful, if it is too small, so many children in the family will not be enough.

Mother Ye took a wooden stool and put it at the door, and the round cake was placed on the plate, with three sticks of incense inserted on it, and it was placed in front of the moon, and when the incense was burned, it could be collected and shared with the children.

The children were very expectantly squatting in two rows around the moon cakes, looking at the moon for a while, seeing where the incense was burning, and then yelling at the children of the neighbors next door and asking them

How big are the mooncakes at home, and are they bigger than theirs?

After Ye Yaodong finished eating, he leaned on the pillar next to the door, watching a group of little radish heads squatting there in anticipation, the corners of his mouth raised, and it was quite ceremonial at this time.

When these children grow up, the next generation will not be uncommon, not to mention the sense of expectation, not even such a simple sense of ceremony.

"Why does this incense burn so slowly?"

"Shall we blow it? Let it burn faster?"

"Huha~Huha~Huha~"

A bunch of mouths are pouting and blowing there......

The children of the neighbors next door also did the same, blowing there, hoping that the incense would burn faster.

"Ah, don't squirt out saliva, it's not disgusting, how can we eat it...... second niece Ye Tingting patted Ye Chenghai in disgust.

"Then I'll eat it alone!" Ye Chenghai said triumphantly.

"Shameless!"

"It's beautiful!"

"You are not allowed to blow ......."

A few children puffed out their cheeks and blew hard, and the incense burned quickly, and when the last bit of fire was gone, they hurriedly brought the mooncakes into the house.

"It's okay to eat, it's okay to eat."

"Mother, grandma, come and cut moon cakes~"

After the whole moon cake was evenly distributed to everyone, everyone went to the door to eat it contentedly, to tempt the neighbors' friends who had not yet eaten the moon cakes.

After eating, I didn't forget to lick my fingers, ate the dregs and sesame seeds on my hands, and then licked my lips.

Ye Yaodong looked at them with a sense of satisfaction, and turned his head in a good mood to ask Lin Xiuqing, who had just come out, "Do you want to eat moon cakes?" Shall we buy a small one tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival, what mooncakes to eat, the children have to eat, and the meat oil used in this big mooncake will be vegetarian tomorrow."

"Okay."

Lin Xiuqing thought for a while, "While we are free in the next few days, let's move the clothes cabinet first, shall we?"

"It's okay, when Mazu finishes inspecting the sea, let's go to the town and buy some pots and pans for the house, and then people can come over."

"That's what I thought, I've sorted out my clothes, quilts and sheets, and you can push them to your new home tomorrow with your dad and them."

"Okay."

"You don't need to call those friends of yours, it's a lot of trouble for them when you build a house, and it just so happens that everyone hasn't gone to sea in the next few days, so we can help our own family."

"Hmm."
