Chapter 142: The Big Iron Cauldron

Early the next morning, the couple left the child for Ye's mother to see, and went to the town.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, two husband and wife, went to the town together yesterday afternoon and bought all the things they should buy.

Lin Xiuqing also took the things they bought, the price, and where they bought some things, and kept them in mind, and went straight to their destination as soon as they arrived in town.

Ye Yaodong came out today, just as a laborer, but after a while, the two baskets they brought out were already full and hung in their hands.

Lin Xiuqing wanted to help take it, how dare he bring her heavy objects, all of them were hung on himself, and the store also carried the big iron pot for the earthen stove they just bought......

He looked behind him as he walked, "How do I feel weird with this pot on my back?"

Pedestrians on the road passing by him couldn't help but look back at him twice.

Lin Xiuqing turned her head to look at it and couldn't help laughing, but she couldn't help but laugh, lest he get angry and didn't take it back, "No, I think it's good."

"Then why are you laughing at me?"

"Is there one?"

"Didn't you? Your eyes are crooked and you can't even see them."

He tugged at the cauldron on his back as he spoke, and he always felt how awkward it was? I don't know how his eldest brother and second brother got it back yesterday?

Now that it was discovered, Lin Xiuqing couldn't bear it anymore, and the corners of her mouth grinned widely, "I think you look better at your tan now than before."

"Bullshit", Ye Yaodong looked at the eyes of the passers-by on both sides, and whispered embarrassedly, "You are obviously laughing at me for carrying a big cauldron, which looks like a king bastard!"

At this time, Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing at all, but in order to save some face for him, he immediately covered it with his hand, and then whispered, "This is what you said yourself, I didn't say that."

Ye Yaodong was annoyed and looked at her accusatory: "You must think so too!"

"Oops~ It's okay, buy two more things, and we'll go home." Lin Xiuqing took his hand soothingly and walked forward together.

He turned his head depressed and glanced behind him again, how awkward did he look?

"What else are you going to buy? Come back in the afternoon, right? Let's take the pot back first, it doesn't sound like carrying it all the time?"

"It's good to buy it all at once, so why do you have to do it again? Don't pay for the bus? I told you that it was good to walk, but if you have to take a car, how far can you go, and it's not that you haven't walked."

There are people all around, and he can't say anything about her, he still has one in his belly, and he has to go this long way, is he afraid that the child will be too stable?

Originally, whether this child could be born or not was still very hanging, of course, you have to pay attention, there is really no need to save a few cents of fare, it is still too frugal.

Ye Yaodong carried the pot on his back and followed her all the time, not squinting......

It wasn't until she entered the small shop of daily necessities and bought a soap board to brush the mallet that he finally couldn't help but say, "Isn't there a small shop in the village that sells it? Why do you have to go all the way to buy it back?"

"What do you know? Two bars of soap can be bought here for a penny cheaper."

Ye Yaodong: ......

"Okay, let's go back."

"Buy a box of clam oil! It's autumn and winter, it's drier, and you and your children have to wipe your hands on your faces."

She hesitated, "It's a little early to wipe it now... Well... It's rare to come here, so why don't you buy it by the way?"

"Buy, buy."

After everything was purchased, he was relieved that he was finally able to get in the car and go home.

After walking around, I felt that my skin was thickened again.

After returning to the village, he didn't care, swaggered back, and when he met an acquaintance, he could still say hello twice.

"Young ~ today incarnated as a turtle prime minister?"

The fat man saw him from a distance and hurriedly ran up, only to find a pot behind him and immediately laughed at him.

Ye Yaodong slashed at him with a knife in his eyes.

"You're looking good today!"

"Where are you from?

"My dad just came out of your house and wrote you a menu."

"Oh, just help me get to my new home."

Only then did the fat man notice that everything was hanging on him, and his wife was standing by empty-handed.

"Didn't you see that you love your wife so much?"

"It's necessary, my wife is hurting when she marries home, hurry up, help me carry the basket in my hand."

The fat man sighed lightly, and did not hurt him, and honestly carried the basket hanging in his hand.

Lin Xiuqing was a little embarrassed, he said it so bluntly.

People in this era are very reserved.

After preparing all the things that should be bought, there is no need for Ye Yaodong to worry about it next, he has his own father and mother Zhang Luo.

Just for the sake of wine, the seafood of the previous day was of good quality and left to be kept fresh at the dock, and most of the goods in Ye Yaodong's ground cage were also left, which could reduce expenses.

Because the day before yesterday, Bryde's whales drove away the fish, and this time the fish in the cage increased greatly, and there were several excellent big pomfret birds, each weighing more than a catty, and it was very face-saving to appear on the wine table.

There are also several red paste crabs, all of which are big and fat, and there will be a bowl of red paste crab glutinous rice at the local banquet.

Other pike crabs, shrimp girls, and big sword shrimps are all available, they are by the sea, and 80% of the local wine table is seafood.

For the locals, moving is a big deal, and it is quite exquisite, not only the banquet dishes, but also some customs.

A pair of lanterns, two bamboo poles, and two brooms are essential for moving in their local area.

The bamboo pole is a symbol that indicates whether the owner lives in the house or not.

Their local villagers use bamboo poles to dry their clothes. When the bamboo poles and clothes are still there, it means that the owner is still living here; Once the bamboo pole is retrieved, it means that the family is gone.

And when the bamboo pole is raised in a new place and clothes are hung, it means that the new owner has arrived, so this must be used.

As for lanterns, in the early days, a pair of big red lanterns would be hung at the door of every house, with the surname of the owner of the house written on them.

Once the lantern is removed, it means that the family is moving away, and when people see the new lantern hanging, they know that the house has a new owner.

There are also brooms, and you need to bring 2 brooms when moving. One is the old household broom, and the other is the new household broom. The meaning is to clean the old house where you lived so that future generations can move in; At the same time, clean your new house and live a clean life.

Some people will take a broom to the door of the post and telecommunications office on the day of moving, which means that they will sweep all the money home.

On the day of moving, the bamboo pole and broom should be wrapped in red paper first, and then tied with red rope.

Then one red bucket is filled with half a bucket of water, and the other red bucket is filled with rice, pay attention to the water not to be sprinkled on the way from the old home to the new home, and then put the rice into the rice bucket of the new home.

When you arrive at your new home, you have to burn straw at the door, and people and things have to pass over the straw, which is a bit like crossing a brazier.

Then first carry the bucket of rice into the door, followed by the bucket of water, which can be used to boil water or cook food, and give the family a meaning of changing water and soil.

The process of the previous life, go through it again in this life, Ye Yaodong is very familiar with it, and he doesn't need to be reminded by Ye's mother.

After all the moving processes were completed, the red lanterns were hung up and the firecrackers crackled to mean that they had also finished moving.

When it was time to make the bed, they would bring it over and put it there.

The three brothers moved on the same day, but they were not together.

The wine is also placed together, and the expenses will be evenly distributed at that time, saving trouble.

On this day, even Uncle Ye and Second Uncle Ye, who had not shown up for a long time, also came forward, they greeted each other with a smile, they were all a family, and there was no overnight feud.

Once all the guests have arrived and are seated, the sound of firecrackers outside the house also crackles, which means that it is time to start serving.

After the three Ye Yaodong brothers and Ye's father had a banquet, they didn't have time to sit down to eat and drink

, kept shuttling back and forth between the guests to toast, and when he sat down, his face was already red and hiccupping.

Lin Xiuqing hurriedly poured him a few cups of tea to relieve himself, and hurriedly put something in his bowl to eat.

"Why did you drink so much at once, and I didn't eat anything to pad my stomach just now."

Ye Yaodong smiled at her drunkly, quietly grabbed her hand under the table with his left hand, and ate vegetables with his right hand.

In the past few months, Lin Xiuqing has gradually become accustomed to his intimate actions from time to time and unintentionally, and there is a hint of sweetness in her heart, which is very useful, anyway, she is almost full, and the two children follow Mother Ye to sit at the table, without her.

After the banquet was over and all the guests were sent away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the three concubines immediately helped their respective men back to the house to lie down, and then helped clean up the mess.

Ye Yaodong slept comfortably, and slept until the next day after lying down, touched the warm fragrant nephrite beside him, felt that something was wrong with his hand, and reluctantly opened his eyes and closed his eyes, only to find that it was his youngest son's thigh.

He looked inside in confusion, only to find that it was a new home, where his two sons were lying crookedly, and his wife was no longer in the house.

Rubbing his temples, he carefully stepped over his eldest son and got out of bed, put on his shirt and pants and went out.

I saw his wife busy by the stove with an apron.

"What's cooking? Why don't you wear new clothes?"

She smiled and said, "I don't go out, I just cook at home, what do I do in new clothes? Don't get a hole in the Martians, then I won't have a place to cry."

"Okay, what did you cook in the morning?"

"Pumpkin porridge, I haven't finished eating a few big pumpkins brought from my mother's house last time, my mother moved two the day before yesterday, and the pumpkin has a good meaning, I think about using it directly to cook pumpkin porridge, and by the way, I use the water and rice that I moved yesterday to cook, and change the water and soil."

"Okay, you can eat anything. The tide is early today, so I'll go out early to collect the nets later."

"I know, that's why I got up early today to cook it, and the porridge will rot after a while, so why don't you go back and lie down for a while?"

He rubbed his temples, his head still uncomfortable, "No, I'll go brush my teeth and wash my face to sober up."

Lin Xiuqing looked at his back, with a smile on her face.
