Don’t be greedy, little kids, it’s the New Year after Laba.
How many days can you drink Laba porridge? It will be twenty-three.
Twenty-three, sticky melons; twenty-four, worship the Kitchen God; twenty-five, make tofu; twenty-six, stew meat; twenty-seven, kill the rooster; twenty-eight, appliqué flowers; twenty-nine, go get wine.
; Play all night on the 30th; have fun on New Year’s Day.
After the 23rd day of the lunar calendar, the New Year flavor in the village is particularly strong. The whole village smells of joy. There is fragrance everywhere in the village from morning to night, and the snacks in the children's pockets are never lacking.
As for the pigs that Ye Ersao bought and raised on the way, they were going to be killed in advance around the 24th day of the lunar calendar. It was really hard to find a pig butcher. In recent days, the nearby pig butcher traveled to several villages and killed several pigs every day.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the pigs that have been raised for a year are basically ready for slaughter. They can be killed for both money and meat, and the family will have a prosperous New Year.
And Ye Yaodong took the initiative to help at two o'clock in the morning. Killing a pig was not a trivial matter. He happened to be able to buy some meat by killing it. The pigs he raised at home were of course more delicious than those from other people's homes.
Lin Xiuqing woke up when she heard him getting up, "I want to go to the old house to see if I can help?"
"Well, let's go take a look and buy some meat. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so let's have some good food at home."
"Then you should also buy more fat meat. Let's boil some lard and eat it during the Chinese New Year. It's not good to eat rapeseed oil every day. Meat oil is more fragrant. Let's get some onion oil and put it in when cooking noodles.
The spoon tastes better."
"Okay, well, then just buy a ten-pound one and keep it going for a little longer."
"Okay, you can put the key in the corner of the closet, and you can open the drawer and get the money yourself."
After such a long time, he performed well. Lin Xiuqing still had basic trust in him and directly let him get the money.
"Well, if you continue to sleep for a while, I will buy some pig hearts, livers, and belly. I can eat them for two days and the whole family can make up for it."
"Look at it, it's done."
Ye Yaodong is very satisfied. After his influence, Ah Qing is no longer so picky and is willing to spend some money to eat and drink better.
After he opened the drawer and took the money, he locked it as usual, handed her the key and put it away, then walked out quietly and closed the door gently.
Before reaching the entrance of the courtyard, the dog crawled out of the kennel, looked at it warily, and then retreated back.
Ye Yaodong said with satisfaction: "I will buy a few more bones today. After I make the big bone soup, I will reward you in the evening. Thank you for your hard work, and I will give you a supplement."
"Wow~"
The big black dog barked in a low voice and then lay back down.
After Ye Yaodong went out, he closed the courtyard door and told the big black dog, "Watch carefully. The courtyard door is unlocked. Don't let strangers run in."
A thief generally doesn't dare to open the door openly, so he can feel at ease when there are a few dogs around.
However, Lin Xiu was awake, but a little unable to sleep. She also had the habit of getting up at night to check on her children and cover them with quilts. As soon as Ye Yaodong got up and went out, she also got up, put on her coat and entered her son's room.
When the results came out, I saw through the window that the courtyard door had been blown open by the wind, so I went out and planned to lock the courtyard door.
Unexpectedly, when she closed the door, she looked up and saw a white light on the sea, which startled her at just one glance.
Under the moonlight, the white light seemed like a ghost floating on the sea. Against the backdrop of the night, it looked particularly scary. She screamed.
Ye Yaodong didn't go far at this time. Hearing a sound that sounded like it was coming from the door of his home, he stopped immediately and quickly shined a flashlight over it, but saw nothing.
After wondering for a moment, I walked back, intending to see what happened.
Lin Xiuqing took one look and screamed. She was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, her heart was pounding, and the courtyard door was slammed shut by her.
Ye Yaodong was now sure that the noise was coming from his own home. When he got closer, he called out softly, "Aqing?"
"ah?"
She was closing her eyes, grabbing the handle of the courtyard door, standing behind the courtyard door to calm down, and did not immediately run into the house. After hearing Ye Yaodong's voice, her heart immediately calmed down.
"A Dong?" She said as she opened the courtyard door again, "You haven't left yet?"
"I just walked a short distance and heard a noise here, so I turned back to take a look. What's the matter? I thought I heard you shouting just now?"
While he was asking questions, he turned off the flashlight switch to avoid wasting electricity.
Lin Xiuqing kept her eyes fixed on him and did not dare to meow at the beach. After hearing his question, she stepped forward and grabbed the cotton-padded jacket in front of him, buried her head in his neck, and whispered
.
"Didn't you see anything on the sea when you just came out?"
"What's there?" Ye Yaodong asked casually in confusion, then turned his head and glanced at the sea. His pupils tightened and he was startled.
"Fuck! What is that?"
It wasn't there when he just opened the door and came out, otherwise he would definitely jump up.
Lin Xiuqing closed her eyes tightly and grabbed the cotton-padded jacket on his chest. She didn't dare to look at him, "I don't know what it was. I was shocked when I saw it when I just came out and closed the door. Did it just come out? Did you just come out?
Didn’t you see it?”
"No, not just now."
As he spoke, he turned on the flashlight and shined it into the distance. The photo disappeared instantly and was gone.
But when he turned off the flashlight, it appeared again. It seemed even scarier to Ah Qing?
"It's too scary. You'd better not go out and go back to the house."
His wife was in front of him, holding her in his arms, and the two of them were next to each other. He wasn't actually that scared, and it wasn't like he had never been a ghost before. When he just saw it, he was suddenly startled.
At this moment, he used the flashlight to turn it on and off frequently, shining it on and off, and looking carefully, it didn't feel that scary.
Although it does look like a ghost when it is not illuminated, it should not be so. People in the future will still say that these are natural phenomena, and the light is shining in some way.
The flashlight just shined through, and it disappeared in an instant. It must be some kind of reaction to that light?
It doesn’t matter if he cums or not, after Ye Yaodong comforted himself, he became more courageous and said confidently.
"What are you afraid of? It must be because of the moonlight. The moonlight will reflect on the sea. There is nothing to be afraid of. You can go inside and sleep. I'll go take a look."
Lin Xiuqing held his hand tightly, "You still want to go see it? Then I will go with you."
Ye Yaodong saw that she was also wearing a cotton-padded jacket. The child slept soundly at night anyway, so it would be okay to lock the courtyard door and watch for a while.
"Then lock the courtyard door from the outside."
She wondered for a moment, why not just go to the beach for a look? And lock the door?
However, since he said to lock it, then just lock it, it doesn't matter.
She didn't know that when he said he was going to see the pigs being slaughtered, he was not going to the beach to see the 'ghosts'...
Ye Yaodong didn't know that the two people understood it differently.
It wasn't until she took Ye Yaodong's arm to walk straight to the beach that Ye Yaodong realized, "What are you doing? Where are you going?"
"Aren't you going to take a look? Let's go?"
"ah?"
Ye Yaodong bravely followed her forward, "What I said was that I was going to the old house to see the pigs being slaughtered. What's interesting about this ghost?"
"Don't you think it's because of the moonlight?"
"I heard it's due to the light, who knows? Well... Well, let's take a closer look. Anyway, I have enough yang energy..." he said half-jokingly.
"The more you talk about it, the scarier it becomes. I was just talking about the lighting issue, so why are you talking about Yang Qi now? Stop looking at it, stop looking at it, and go back quickly. I thought you were talking about going to the beach."
"You've already walked less than half of the way, why don't you go back? It doesn't look like a ghost. Let's take a look. When you come out of the door tomorrow, you can also brag about it to the neighbors and sisters-in-law."
His curiosity was really aroused, and he was a little curious.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and hit him, and her nervousness relaxed a little, "Nonsense, do I seem to be bragging?"
"It's the same as gossiping, it's pretty much the same thing."
"The meaning is much different..."
The couple talked and laughed while slowly approaching. When they got closer, they discovered that it was really a beam of light. It was moonlight shining on the sea. It was reflected by the water, making it look like there was a ghost floating on the sea.
It's particularly scary when viewed from a distance, but it's obviously not so when viewed up close. You can tell at a glance that it's a beam of light.
"It's light!"
"Let me tell you, it's not a ghost, it's a light. You still don't believe it."
Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief. He is also a person who often walks at night. If he saw such a thing every three days, he would have random thoughts. Now that he has figured it out, he feels more at ease and there is no need to worry about ghosts in the future.
I thought about that direction.
"It looked like a light from a distance. You were even startled just now. How could I believe it was a light? I thought you were trying to argue."
"Tch, listen to me more in the future, it will give you a lot of insights."
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, was she still proud?
"Okay, it'll be fine once you know it's a ray of light. Go back quickly."
"Oh wait..."
He also heard the sound of water splashing and crackling under the water, which was obviously fish.
"Ah? What are you doing?" Seeing him looking at the sea seriously and shining the flashlight back and forth, she also looked suspiciously, "Are there any fish?"
"It should be, I heard the sound of splashing water."
Lin Xiuqing looked intently at the sea, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully, but it seemed that she could only hear the sound of wind and waves, and there were only waves undulating on the sea, and no fish could be seen.
"Did you hear it wrong? Are you dazzled? I only heard the sound of the waves."
"Your ears are not good."
"Your aura is useless. The tide is high now. Even if there are fish, you can't see them under the water. If you have good ears, it will be useless to hear them."
"That's right, I guess it's just some anchovies and anchovies. The fish sauce girl I made last year sold half the tank and there are still a lot of them."
