Chapter 6065 City God's Patrol
Yang Ruoqing filled two small bowls with fried rice dumplings cooked with flower oil, one was placed on the Kitchen God's table, and the other was used as an offering for sacrifice in the afternoon.
Lunch was put on the table at noon, including chicken, duck and fish.
Yang Ruoqing put a lot of vegetables into a bowl for Baby Luo, "Eat more and be full. When you get back to town, you will definitely be too busy to play and not eat."
" Mom, there will be a lot of food stalls selling food in the town tonight. Aunt Mianmian, Sister Xiuxiu and I can just buy something to eat at the roadside stalls, so we won’t get hungry.”
"Well, that's fine. Do you have pocket money over there?"
When she thought of her daughter going out to play, the motherly blood in Yang Ruoqing instantly boiled. She knew that she had saved all her new year's money, but she still endured it. I kept asking nonsense questions.
Baobao Luo's eyes rolled, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled cutely at Yang Ruoqing: "Mom, I have some pocket money in my hand, but, hehe, if mom can do it again It would be better if you give some, the more the merrier..."
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "You girl!"
She took off the purse from her waist and put it on the table, "Your new year's money is all silver, just keep the silver at home with copper coins. It used to be convenient to buy things.”
Luo Baobao grabbed the purse, opened it and looked at it for a few times. He nodded repeatedly with excitement, and his eyes even turned into crescents.
“Thank you so much, Mom, you are so kind, Mom is so considerate.”
“Don’t flatter me, eat well, and listen to your grandpa, grandma, and grandpa when you get to town. As for Ga Po, you have to follow the big guys wherever you go, and you are not allowed to run around alone."
...
In the afternoon, the big guys go to the mountains to bury their ancestors together. Incense was burned there and offerings were placed.
After finishing the work, they went to the river again, sprinkled the offerings in the bowls on the grass by the river, burned incense paper and set off firecrackers.
On the Hungry Ghost Festival, you can’t just worship your ancestors, but also take care of those lonely ghosts. This is doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
A long row of villagers stood by the river, including men, women and children.
The man squatted there with a small stick and stirred up the burning incense ashes to prevent the entire river dam from burning.
The women stood behind, holding the children's hands tightly and whispering: "...Don't play outside today. You will go home to eat as soon as the sun sets. You will sleep tonight." Come early, don’t make any noise..."
The child raised his head with confusion on his face: "Why? Why can't you play outside?"
"Today is the Ghost Festival, and the door of ghosts is wide open. Why are you still playing tricks outside at night?" ”
“Mom, what does a ghost look like?”
“I haven’t seen one before, so how do I know there is a ghost?”< br>
"Others have seen it. It is said that it has a green face and fangs, and some hair hangs down to the ground. It wears white clothes, has no feet and has no face."
"Mom, don't say it, I'm afraid!" The child was so frightened that he turned around and hugged his mother. Thighs, don’t dare to raise your head again.
The woman achieved her goal and touched the child's head with a little pride. These days are the days when the door of hell is wide open. She should try not to go out as much as possible.
When the sun was about to set, three carriages stopped on the road in front of the Luo family and Yang Huazhong's house.
Every house in the old Yang family sent people to the town to watch the city god patrol the streets. Even the Jin family took Yang Yongqing's daughter with them.
It was a pity that Mrs. Tan couldn't see her, otherwise she would definitely have to go. Mrs. Tan couldn't go, so she urged Yang Huamei to go.
Things at Yang Huamei's house are in a mess, and she has no intention of watching the excitement.
Even if she went to the town, she would still be looking for Dabai, but obviously the timing was wrong tonight. The third brother and the others were all here... She wouldn't go either, and would stay with Tan. Mrs. Sun handed the keys to her home to Yang Ruoqing and followed the carriage away.
Yang Ruoqing returned home and told her mother-in-law Tuoba Xian that she had to stay in her parents’ yard tonight and look after the yard!
She had kept the boudoir she had before she got married. There was nothing missing in the room. Lying on the bed, Yang Ruoqing suddenly felt like she was going back in time.
Looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, I couldn't help but think of Luo Fengtang who was far away. Every moment when the two of them had joined hands together in the green years suddenly became clear in my mind, and the night breeze blew gently. The coolness blows in from the window, and the curtains dance gently, which is very comfortable...
Under the night, an old house in the village.
After Liao Meiying took Zhen'er to burn the incense, before the sun set, her father-in-law drove an ox cart over to take her daughter and grandson to Liaojia Village.
He said he would not come back until the end of the month. After all, July is the ghost month, so he left the mother and son in the house, worried that they would be scared.
Liao Meiying took Hong'er and Niuniu to the town with everyone. Yang Yongzhi had dinner and fell asleep.
In the backyard, the doors of the fourth room were locked. In the east room, Tan and Yang Huamei had also taken a shower early, closed the doors and windows, and leaned on the bed to say thoughtful words.
In the huge front and back yards of Lao Yang’s house, there was basically not a single person walking around.
Yang Yongqing is not in Yang Yongqing's house in the backyard. He is a free-spirited person. When he was burning incense in the afternoon, he met two "husbands and dogs" from the same village. At night, they made an appointment to go to Heifeng's house at the entrance of the village to buy groceries. Cards were played all night in the shop.
Heifeng was forcibly sent by his brothers to reunite with Taozi in the earthen kiln in the county. The family shop is now managed by Heifeng’s brother Heitang. Heitang himself likes playing cards the most. After taking over the shop Two tables were specially added for people to play cards. He provided tea and a simple meal if necessary, but he had to take a commission from the card table.
Yang Yongqing was not at home, and Mrs. Jin also took her granddaughter to the town. Mrs. Mo was walking around the house alone, holding a piece of grass in her mouth and standing at the window, looking out at the moonlit night and smiling.
……
Qingshui Town.
Compared with the deserted village that closes its doors after dark, Qingshui Town at this time is really noisier than during the day.
The streets and alleys are almost full of people. I don’t know where to pour out so many people. It’s almost a rush.
"Children, walk slower, don't get crowded."
Sun and Wang Cuilian shouted from behind, but even so, they were still staggered by the crowd.
Ms. Liu supported Mrs. Sun: "Third sister-in-law, sister-in-law of the Luo family, don't panic, they are such big girls, they can't be thrown away. Besides, we are all following them, it's okay. ”
Sun was still worried and turned around to look for Yang Huazhong and the others.
Fortunately, Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang had kept up with Luo Baobao and the others, so Sun felt relieved.
"I still dream about Chen'er's loss back then. I'm really scared of the loss. I can't let something like that happen again." Mrs. Sun patted her heart.
Wang Cuilian also had lingering fears. Those few years were really fiery.
For the young and beautiful girls like Luo Baobao and others in front of them, the previous obedience and promises at home were suddenly forgotten when they encountered such a novel and fun thing as the city god patrolling the streets. .
“Look, look, the City God’s team is coming.”
Someone in the crowd started shouting.
"Where is it?"
Everyone stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the sound. Baby Luo was tall and saw it at a glance. He jumped up excitedly and pointed in that direction and shouted. Shouting: "I see it, I see it, it's covered in red and colorful, what a long team!"
