The next morning, the sky was clear.

Qian and Ru Yi were sitting in the hall eating breakfast, when they suddenly heard a "bang" knock on the courtyard door, which was very loud, as if it was about to break the door.

They put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at each other, and after a moment, Qian stood up and went to open the door, while Ruyi picked up the dishes and chopsticks and continued to eat breakfast.

"Click".

As soon as the deadbolt was opened, many people poured in from outside the door.

Qian took a closer look and found that the person who took the lead turned out to be the village chief, among them there were men and women, some of them carried burdens, some of them held abacus books, and some of them came to see the excitement.

Qian Shi slowly opened his mouth and asked in confusion: "Village Chief, what are you doing here at my house?" ”

Village Chief Wen was stunned for a moment, he went to several houses this morning, some people handed him the prepared grain and silver as soon as they saw him, and some people begged him if he could collect less food, but this situation had never happened, and he even asked them what they were doing?

Doesn't she know what day it is?

Village Chief Wen opened his mouth and said, "Jinhua! Why are you so unremembered? Have you forgotten what day it is? Do you remember what day it was at the beginning of September? ”

Early September?

Isn't that the temple god's birthday?

After Village Chief Wen mentioned something, the Qian family remembered what they were here to do.

She didn't remember that the main reason was that there were too many things that had happened this year, and she forgot about it all at once.

It turned out that before I knew it, it was already the beginning of September. Every year at the beginning of September is the birthday of the temple god in the village, and the village will invite famous opera troupes to come to the village to sing and celebrate the birthday of the temple god, in order to pray for good weather and happiness and health in the coming year.

But it costs money to invite the troupe, so the annual funds are paid by the villagers themselves, some people pay money, and some people contribute food.

"Village chief, I'm really sorry, I've been too busy lately, and I forgot about it all of a sudden, you wait here, I'll get it right away." Qian hurriedly came to the small warehouse, checked the remaining grain at home, and found that there was not much food left this year.

Qian turned back to the courtyard and took out dozens of dollars from his pocket and handed it to the village chief. The village chief counted the number and told the bookkeeper beside him. After the bookkeeper writes down the name of the money and the amount of money. The group left their original home and continued to collect money from the next family.

Qian closed the courtyard door and returned to the hall.

Ru Yi walked out of the room and said, "Mother, hurry up and have breakfast!" Otherwise, it won't taste good when it gets cold. ”

"Hmm." Qian nodded, sat down, picked up the remaining half bowl of rice, and continued to eat.

Ru Yi pushed away the stool and sat down, and asked, "Mother, who is here?" ”

Qian replied while eating: "Oh, it's the village chief who is here, today the village invited a troupe, the village chief is here to collect money, I have already paid the money, I can go to the play tonight." ”

Ru Yi was stunned, watching a play? How long has it been since she seen a play? Looks like a long time! It's all childhood memories, it seems to feel so far away, I didn't expect to be able to relive the memories of my childhood in ancient times.

She came back to her senses, the corners of her mouth raised, and she smiled: "That's good, I haven't seen a play for a long time?" ”
