Chapter 142 Big Iron Pot

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

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, two couples, went to town together yesterday afternoon and bought everything they needed to buy.

Lin Xiuqing also took note of the things they bought, their prices, and where they bought some things, and went straight to their destination as soon as they arrived in town.

Ye Yaodong came out today as a laborer. After a while, the two baskets they brought out were already full and hanging on their hands.

Lin Xiuqing wanted to help, but how could he dare to carry heavy things for her? They were all hanging on his body. At this moment, the store even gave him a large iron pot for earthen stoves that they had just bought...

As he walked, he looked behind him, "Why do I feel like this pot feels weird on my back?"

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

Lin Xiuqing turned around and couldn't help laughing, but she resisted laughing so as not to make him angry and say, "No, I think it's pretty good."

"Then why are you still laughing at me?"

"Have it?"

"No? Your eyes are so bent that you can't see them anymore."

As he spoke, he pulled the cauldron on his back. He always felt that it was awkward to carry it. I don’t know how his eldest and second brothers got it back yesterday?

Now that she was discovered, Lin Xiuqing couldn't bear it any longer and smiled with a big smile on her face, "I think your tan looks better now than before."

"That's ridiculous." Ye Yaodong looked at the passersby on both sides and whispered awkwardly, "You are obviously laughing at me for carrying a big pot and looking like a bastard!"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing at this time, but in order to save him some face, she immediately covered it with her hands, and then whispered: "You said this yourself, I didn't say that."

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

"Oh~ It's okay. Let's buy two more things and we'll go home." Lin Xiuqing held his hand reassuringly and walked forward together.

He turned his head and glanced behind him depressedly. Why did he look so awkward?

"What else do you want to buy? Come back in the afternoon, okay? Take the pot back first. It doesn't make sense to carry it around all the time, right?"

"It's enough to buy it all at once. Why do you need to go there again? No fare? I told you that I can just walk. If you have to take a car, it can be as far as you want. It's not like you haven't walked it before."

There were people around, and it was hard for him to say anything to her. She still had a baby in her belly, and she still had to walk such a long way. Was she afraid that the baby would be too safe?

Originally, it was still hanging in the balance whether this child would survive, so of course we had to be careful. There was really no need to save a few cents on the fare, it was still too frugal.

Ye Yaodong bravely carried the blame and followed her, not looking away...

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

"What do you know? You can buy two bars of soap here for a penny cheaper."

Ye Yaodong:......

"Okay, let's go back."

"Buy a box of clam oil! It's autumn and winter and it's drier. You and your children have to apply it on your face and hands."

She hesitated for a moment, "It's a little early to apply it now...well...it's a rare occasion, so why not buy it by the way?"

"Buy it, buy it."

After all the things were purchased, he breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to get in the car and go home.

After walking around, I feel like I have become thicker-skinned.

After returning to the village, he didn't care anymore. He walked back in a swaggering manner. When he met an acquaintance, he could say hello twice.

"Young~ have you transformed into Prime Minister Turtle today?"

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

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

"You look good today!"

"Where are you from?"

"Follow my father who just came out of your house and wrote you a menu."

"Oh, just help me get a new home."

Only then did the fat man notice that all the things were hanging on him, but his wife was standing next to him with empty hands.

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

"It's necessary. My wife brought her home just for pain. Hurry up and help me carry the basket I'm holding."

The fat man chuckled lightly, but without hurting him, he honestly carried the basket hanging in his hand.

Lin Xiuqing was a little embarrassed because he spoke so straightforwardly.

People in this era are very reserved.

After all the things that need to be bought are prepared, Ye Yaodong does not need to worry about the next step. Ye's father and mother will take care of it.

Just for the sake of hosting the banquet, I picked out the best quality seafood from the day before and kept it at the dock to keep it fresh. I also kept most of the goods from Ye Yaodong's ground cage, which can reduce expenses.

Because Bryde's whales had appeared the day before yesterday to drive away the fish, the fish stocks in the cages were greatly increased this time. There were also several top-quality big white pomfrets, each of which weighed more than a kilogram. It was very important to appear on the wine table.

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

Other swimming crabs, shrimps, and sword shrimps are all available. They are close to the sea, and 80% of the tables at the local wine shop are seafood.

For the locals, moving is a big event, and they are quite particular about not only the banquet dishes, but also some customs.

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

The bamboo pole is a symbol of whether the owner lives in the house.

Local villagers use bamboo poles to dry their clothes. When the bamboo poles and clothes are still there, it means that the owner still lives here; once the bamboo poles are retrieved, it means that the family has left.

And when the bamboo pole is raised in a new place to hang clothes, 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 taken down, it means that the family will move away, and when people see the new lantern hanging, they know that there is a new owner in the house.

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

Some people will take a broom to the door of the post office on the day of moving, which means sweeping all the money home.

On the moving day, the bamboo poles and brooms should be wrapped in Spring Festival couplets and red paper, and then tied with red ropes.

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

After arriving at the new home, straw must be burned at the door, and people and things must pass over the straw, which is somewhat similar to crossing a brazier.

Then carry the bucket of rice into the door first, followed by the bucket of water. This bucket of water can be used later to boil water or cook food, which means changing the soil and water for the family.

Ye Yaodong was very familiar with the process of his previous life, and he didn't need Ye Mu to remind him.

After all the moving procedures were completed, the red lanterns were hung high, and the firecrackers crackled, which meant that they had finished moving.

When it's time to install the bed, they can just move the bed over and place it.

The three brothers moved in on the same day, but at different times.

The wine is also served together, so the expenses can be shared evenly, saving you trouble.

On this day, even Uncle Ye, Uncle Ye, who had not been seen for a long time, also showed up. They greeted each other with smiles, they were all a family, and there was no overnight feud.

When all the guests arrived and were seated, the sound of firecrackers outside the house also crackled, which meant that the food could begin.

After the banquet started, the three brothers Ye Yaodong and Ye's father had no time to sit down to eat or drink. They kept walking back and forth among the guests to toast. By the time they sat down, their faces were red and they were burping.

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

"Why did you drink so much all at once? You didn't even eat anything to fill your stomach just now."

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

In the past few months, Lin Xiuqing has gradually become accustomed to his unintentional intimate behavior from time to time, and her heart has also felt a little sweet, which is very useful. Anyway, she is almost full, and the two children are sitting with Mother Ye. No need for her.

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

Ye Yaodong slept comfortably and slept well until the next day. He touched the warm-scented nephrite next to him and felt something was wrong. He reluctantly opened his eyes and realized that it belonged to his youngest son. thigh.

He looked around the room in confusion, only to realize that it was his new home. His two sons were lying there 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 clothes and went out.

I saw his wife wearing an apron and busying at the stove.

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

She said with a smile on her face: "I don't go out, I just cook at home. Why do I wear new clothes? Don't let the sparks make a hole, then I have no place to cry."

"Okay, what did you cook for morning?"

"Pumpkin porridge. I haven't finished eating the few big pumpkins I brought from my parents' house last time. My mother brought two over the day before yesterday. Pumpkins have good meanings. I thought about using them to cook pumpkin porridge. I also used the water from yesterday's move. Cook it with rice and change the water and soil."

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want. The tide is relatively early today, and I will go out early to collect the net later."

"I know, so I got up early today to cook. It will take a while before the porridge becomes rotten. Why don't you go back and lie down for a while?"

He rubbed his temples, his head still felt uncomfortable, "No, I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face to wake up."

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