By the time he got home, Chen Yongwei was already helping to pick up and add tiles on the roof. The two of them worked together all morning to repair the leak. Li Changle thought that he would buy a bag of cement and bring back some bricks. Press the tiles several times to prevent the replaced tiles from being blown away by a typhoon next time.

As soon as she came down from the roof, Mother Li came back from outside, "Ale, I went to the rice field to see it. The rice was not blown down much. I helped it up and tied it up with straw. It was planted in the field next to the rice field. A lot of corn has been blown down. You and I should go and chop down the fallen corn and carry it back, and break back all the edible corn."

After she finished speaking, she thought about it and added, "Your father and I used to do all this work, but now that his leg is injured, you are the only one who comes with me."

"Okay, I'll go chop it down right now." Li Changle patted the grass clippings on his pants, and Zhou Ruonan took out the knife and rope. "It's just a good time to come back for dinner." "Yeah!" Li Changle took the rope, Chen Yongwei reached out and took the sickle, "Brother, I will go with you to help you."

Li Changle nodded, "Hasn't your corn been blown down by the wind?"

Chen Yongwei: "At dawn, my grandma told me to get up and chop the fallen corn home." Mother Li came out with a basket and said to Li Changle, "Let's go!"

"Okay!" The two of them followed her out.

Seeing that Chen Yongwei also came to help, Mother Li said gratefully: "Awei is still diligent." Then she glared at Li Changle and said, "He can't even remember where the fields at home are." "Auntie, you are too young. Look at your son!" Li Changle looked at her with a smile, "I remember, it's right next to the salt-alkali land."

Mother Li gave him a funny look, "You want me to boil an egg to praise you?"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked along the long pond to the rice field. They saw that the middle of the rice field had been blown down by the wind and a piece as big as a bathtub had been blown over. Mother Li had tied it up with straw. After walking through the narrow ridge, they arrived at the slope next to the rice field. After the land was divided into households, Li's father took his two brothers and occasionally took him to work together. On less than two acres of land, corn, potatoes, taro and sweet potatoes were planted.

.......

A few ridges of corn on the side were blown down by the typhoon. Chen Yongwei grabbed one, chopped it off with a knife and put it aside. Li Changle and Li Mu broke off all the mature corns on the corn stalks.

, throw it into the basket.

He thought about it and said, "Mom, I won't plant this kind of corn next year. The waxy corn grown by Grandma Chen is delicious."

After hearing this, Mother Li pointed to the inside of the cornfield, "There are two rows of corn planted on the edge of the slope. Some of them are ripe. Go and break them if you want to eat them." "We will go back after finishing these."

The three of them worked for more than ten minutes before chopping down all the corn that had been blown down and breaking off the corn cobs and putting them in baskets. Li Changle followed Mother Li to the edge of the slope and found beans planted in the corn field.

The mother and son pointed at the ripe corn cobs and broke off a dozen of them, then carried them back to the field. Chen Yongwei had already tied all the corn stalks together. "Brother, you carry the basket, and I will carry the corn stalks."

"Okay!" Li Changle picked up the basket and walked back unsteadily, "This field bank is too narrow!"

"This one is already wide. Look at the one next to it. It's only as wide as a pole. If you dig it like that, you can plant at least two rows and harvest more than ten kilograms of rice." After hearing this, Li Changle thought of future generations. The fields that the older generation regarded as their lifeblood were all used to grow vegetables.

When the three of them got home, Li Xiaotao ran over and picked up a bag of corn, "Grandma, we want to burn it and eat it." "I want it too." Li Xiaozhou also ran over.

Sister-in-law Li laughed and said, "They are the greediest people in our family, and they are the fastest when it comes to food."

Li Xiaotao pouted so hard that he could tell a lake of oil, "You won't even cook it for us to eat, we will cook it ourselves, and you said we would set the house on fire." Mother Li: "Your mother-in-law is right, the family has no money to build a new house. , if you set the house on fire, the whole family will have to beg for food." "Grandma, you burn it for us." Li Xiaozhou picked up a bag of corn and handed it to her.

Mother Li peeled off the corn leaves and looked at them. "It's better to eat the older ones when they're roasted. I'll let you choose." "We want them too." Several others ran out of the house.

"Okay, okay, everything is there!" Mother Li took Li Xiaohui and Li Xiaoqing to pick out a dozen bags and went to the stove house to cook corn together. After lunch, Li Changle and others continued to make ground pots and crab pots.

Mother Li cleaned out all the fishing nets and other things at home, darned those that needed to be darned, and packed them up and gave them to Li Changle.

It started to rain again in the afternoon, and the wind was stronger than in the morning. Everyone didn’t want to go fishing, so An Ansheng rested at home for a day. After the heavy rain, the drizzle continued until dark, Li Changle thinks it’s really comfortable to sleep in in such weather.

The sun didn't come out until noon the next day, but the wind was still a bit strong, and the sun shone on the eaves of the steps, making people feel hot.

Li Changle thought of Father Li's injury, brought out a chair, and went to his parents' place to carry Father Li from the house to the eaves. "Abba, get some sunshine, it's good for your health." "The sunshine all year round is good for you." "I've never heard of sunbathing being good." Father Li looked at his playful grandson with a smile on his face, feeling that he was still comfortable at home.

Li Changle lifted his legs and put them on the stool, "Abba, don't you see that crops need to be exposed to the sun to grow strong and bear more fruits? It must be the same for people."

"That's true!" Father Li leaned back comfortably in his chair. "After a few days in the hospital, I feel like I'm going to get moldy." "Grandpa, if you get some sunshine, you'll be fine."

"Yeah! It's not bad anymore, it's not bad anymore!"

At this time, Chen Yongwei came over and said, "Brother, let's go see if the tide goes down?

Li Changle thought for a moment and nodded, "Let's go and take a look first. If the waves are not big, we will go to the woods to find a ground cage." After hearing this, Sister-in-law Li was also a little moved, "Xiaoyang and your third uncle Let’s go together, and when we see the tide goes out, we’ll come back and shout.”

"You can go with me, I want to go to the beach with you too!"

"We are going too," said Li Xiaohai and Li Xiaozhou on the side.

Mother Li came over with a vegetable basket and said to several people: "What are you looking at? During lunch, Alai came back from the beach and said that the waves at the pier are still more than ten meters high, so it would be useless to go there now.

Li Changle gave Li Xiaoyang a hand, "Did you hear that? Your grandma said you can't go now."

"If you don't want to go, don't go!" Li Xiaoyang picked up the top, "Let's go to the back and compete with Ah Shan to draw the top." "Oh! Let's go to the competition!" Li Xiaobo patted Li Xiaohai, and several big ones ran away in a swarm. " Brother, wait for me." Li Xiaozhou followed him with his short legs.

"You are so troublesome. You have to follow me every time, but you can't run fast every time." Li Xiaohai complained, turned around and dragged him to follow.

"They are the ones who make the noise, and they are the ones who are happy!" Mother Li watched happily as her grandson ran away. She turned to Li Changle and said, "You go to the master's palace to burn incense and pay homage."

"Okay, I'll go wash my face." Li Changle put down the wire, went back to the house, washed his face and came out. He took the vegetable basket handed over by Li's mother, and Chen Yongwei followed him out. "Brother, I'm going to the beach to see look."

"Okay!" Li Changle agreed, carrying the vegetable basket and walking towards the Laoye Temple at the east end of the village. The village temple in Shatou Village enshrines the Lady of Gifts, the City God, and the Earth God.

The main sea gods worshiped by fishermen are: Sea Dragon King, Fish Master, Chuanguan Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Chuanlong Lord, Mazu... King Pingshui, the King Pingshui here is actually Dayu.

The village temple has been built at the foot of the mountain for many years. It is repaired every few years. Sometimes all the villagers share it equally, and sometimes villagers who have earned money donate. The small ditch at the foot of the mountain used to be clear due to heavy rain. The water at the bottom became extremely turbid, and several boys were carrying dustpans to collect fish and find screws in the ditch.

When we arrived at the temple at the foot of the mountain, it was not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, so there were very few people coming to the temple to burn incense.

When Li Changle arrived, he happened to see Agen's wife and her mother-in-law coming out carrying a basket. They glanced at him and left without saying hello.

When you walk into the courtyard, there are several large incense burners against the courtyard wall, where you can burn incense. However, when people in the village come to worship, they usually go into the main hall, and after doing Pusa, they come out and burn a stick of incense in each incense burner.

Li Changle entered the main hall and saw that the offering table was filled with fruits, cakes and cakes.

He stood in front of the altar table, took out the cakes from the vegetable basket, put them on the plate respectfully, then knelt down on the futon devoutly and kowtowed three times. Then he stood up and took out three sticks of incense, holding the incense next to him in his left hand. Light the candle and fan it up and down with your right hand to extinguish the open flame on the incense head.

The older generation taught them that they should not blow incense with fire in it, as doing so would be disrespectful to the Bodhisattva.

Li Changle stood up holding the incense and bowed to the Bodhisattva, God and Buddha holding the incense in both hands. After completing the ceremony, he inserted the incense sticks in his left hand into the incense burner.

Then, he lit a pair of red candles as an offering, knelt down on the futon and kowtowed again and made a wish, "City God, please protect my family and my family from safety and prosperity, and to have a full warehouse of fish when I go to sea... After making a wish, I knelt down respectfully and stood up. I also went to worship in front of the statues of Tutu Gong and Sendzi Niangniang.

"Hey! It's Ah Le! You're so lucky, why do you want to pay homage to me?"

Li Changle opened his eyes and turned around, and saw his eldest uncle Lin Xianmei standing aside with a basket, and said quietly: "Good luck comes to pay homage to the master. How many people in the Li family are there? Counting the eldest uncles, the eldest aunt and father-in-law are the most scheming and like the most. Keep face.

"Yes, is your father feeling better? Can you walk two steps?" "He was discharged from the hospital. The doctor said he is recovering well.

Li Changle couldn't see her pretending to be worried. After saying that, he carried the food basket and walked out of the main hall. He lit all the incense burners outside and bowed three times before walking back with the food basket. Halfway there, Meeting Chen Yongwei, "How is it? Has the tide receded?"

Chen Yongwei shook his head, "We have already started to retreat. We should be able to retreat after dark."

Li Changle thought that it was already past three o'clock, "You go back and have a nap, and after dinner we will go to the beach."
