After a few days of uproar in the village, except for the victim who continued to scold Ye Yaohong's house every day, the crowd watching the excitement calmed down a lot. After all, they still had to prepare for the New Year.
In fact, some of the victims were relatives, and they were scolded, but they really couldn't do anything too extreme. The people who made trouble were not only the villagers, but also people fishing in troubled waters, which seemed confusing.
But everyone has been arrested, and just scolding will not help. After a few days of scolding, everyone went about their business. Even Ye Datang's wife could not get out of bed, she did not dare to go out and walk around, and the whole family also
Don't dare to go out.
I heard that children would be beaten by their peers when they go out every day. Whenever they go out every day, they would come home with a bruised nose and swollen face, and their bodies would be covered in mud, as if they had rolled in the mud.
Ye Yaodong was helping his wife dry sweet potatoes when he heard Ye Chenghai come back and vividly talk about the beatings of the two little ones in Ye Yaohong's family.
Lin Xiuqing paused while chopping sweet potatoes, then shook her head, "It's up to the children to bear the evil done by adults."
"Otherwise, how could there be a saying that father's debt is repaid by son?"
"I don't know what the sentence will be. I heard that I have received a detention notice. Even my second cousin was arrested. My aunt's eyes were swollen from crying. My uncle said he was going to the county to see if he could visit. It's okay.
A family left in such a state of distress is left with orphans and widowed mothers."
"So it's better to work down-to-earth and make money, and don't think too much about things."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, "Well, you're right, working down-to-earth is good. As long as you are willing to work hard, it's never too late."
Ye Yaodong listened to the pointed words, laughed a few times, and quickly grabbed the work, "I'll cut it, I'll cut it, you go wash your hands and take a break. After standing for so long, your back should be sore, right? Ye Chenghai,
Help your third aunt to rest aside."
"Ah, Third Aunt can't leave by herself, and she still needs help? It's not Mrs...."
"Are you looking for a fight? Just do whatever I ask you to do. You talk so much."
Lin Xiuqing glared at Ye Yaodong, "You are the only one who has a lot to do!"
"Go and rest, there isn't much left."
Ye Yaodong took the knife in her hand, followed her actions just now, sliced ​​and dried it, until he finished cutting the basin of sweet potatoes, he put away the knife and cutting board.
Dried sweet potatoes are also a rare snack for children. Everyone circled around Bamboo Bian and asked when they could eat it. Those who couldn’t wait to reach out were photographed by him.
"It tastes delicious only when it's dry. Otherwise, you can throw a few into the stove first. It'll be roasted just in time for cooking at noon, which will satisfy your craving. The roast will also be very fragrant."
A group of children slobbered, then went home to steal the sweet potatoes, then wrapped them in mud and stuffed them all into Ye Yaodong's stove. Their own children didn't dare...
There is a fire-breathing dragon in the house, so how dare they engage in such mischief without being beaten and unable to eat. Now only the third uncle's house is relatively safe.
Then one noon, all the children were waiting around the stove, asking questions from time to time. After eating, they came over again and stayed at his house all day.
Moreover, his house had been their home base for several days in a row, and there was a lot of noise every day. After being kicked out, he came back a while later. Ye Yaodong regretted it. What kind of sweet potatoes could he roast for them?
Until the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone stayed at home because there were too many things to eat for the stove.
Ye Yaodong also rode his bicycle to the town early in the morning to buy fruits, candies and other things to commemorate the stove. There were ten items to be placed, including apples, oranges, sugar cane, grapefruit, candies, olives, rice cakes, candy bars, sweet potatoes, New Year candy, and others.
Tianjin Yuanbao, three teas and three wines, and a bowl of water.
There is no stipulation on what kind of sacrifice should be used, any auspicious meaning can be used, eight or ten kinds can be used.
The children were very excited and were waiting for the sacrifice to be finished.
Food that has been eaten by humans cannot be used to offer sacrifices to the stove. On the Xiaonian day, families will buy New Year candies. Children who are greedy will try their best to eat them in their mouths. The stove candies used for sacrifices must be put away in advance to avoid this happening.
.
Regardless of whether you are offering sacrifices to ancestors or gods, you must not use eaten food to avoid having the opposite effect.
Although New Year's Eve is the beginning of the New Year, the Little New Year has officially kicked off the New Year, which is called the "busy year", which means that people start to get busy and prepare for the New Year.
Preparing New Year's goods, dusting off and ushering in the New Year, every household in the village was immersed in a busy and cheerful atmosphere, except for some families who suffered heavy losses.
After the sacrifices to the stove are completed and the heavenly gold ingots are burned, the sacrifices are taken away, which is the happiest time for the children in the family. What the children look forward to most throughout the year is the Chinese New Year.
But Ye Yaodong felt that the sea surface was a little different after dark?
He looked up and felt that he saw "blue tears" when the sea water just washed away.
Looking carefully, another blue light appeared in the waves, "Ah? It's really Ah Qing~"
"Ah? What for?"
"Come out and take a look."
Lin Xiuqing wiped her hands and walked out after hearing the sound, "What's wrong? It's already dark. If you don't come in, why are you asking me to come out?"
"I want you to come out and watch the sea together!"
"Are you crazy? It's so cold that you don't come into the house. Why do you ask me to come out and watch the sea? It's not like I haven't seen it before."
As soon as she walked out of the door, she wanted to turn around and go in. She was too lazy to talk to him, but he pulled her back and said, "Take a look!"
"What are you looking at...ah? Blue? What's going on? Why did the sea water turn blue?"
Lin Xiuqing was halfway through her words when she looked up and saw a wave of waves washing over her, creating a blue wave. It looked pretty good?
"This is called Blue Tears. I didn't expect that there would be a red tide in the middle of winter!"
In fact, it is not called blue tears yet. Villagers think it is a type of red tide, because every time this thing comes out, there is basically no harvest when it goes to sea.
"Blue tears" is a bioluminescent phenomenon and a type of red tide, which is naturally distributed along the coasts of Fujian Province, Bay Bay and other places.
Its originator is dinoflagellates or sea fireflies. Most blue tears appear mainly represented by fluorescent algae.
This kind of Noctiluca is easily localized by tides, winds, and currents, and will produce light blue fluorescence when stimulated by the outside world.
Generally, late spring and early summer are suitable for the reproduction of Noctiluca. When the density of Noctiluca in seawater is high, it is easy to form "blue tears" visible to the naked eye.
Unexpectedly, red tide rarely appeared this winter, which is not a good phenomenon.
The explosive proliferation of Noctiluca often starts from January to February, showing a phenomenon of spreading from south to north. It starts in Hainan, then Guangdong Province, and then Fujian Province gradually moves north.
As he was talking, blue wavy lines appeared one after another, and the two children in the family ran out when they saw their parents outside.
Then he looked at the sea level and shouted in surprise, "Ah, our sea has turned blue, so beautiful~ Brother Ahai, Brother Ajiang... Come out quickly..."
The children of the two families next door were eating the sacrifices that had been removed. When they heard his call, they also ran out of their homes. Then there were waves of exclamations, and the adults in the family were also attracted and ran out.
"Ah? Is it red tide?"
"Why is there a red tide all of a sudden?"
But the children jumped up and down happily, "It's so beautiful, our sea water becomes glowing."
"It's blue."
"Dad, can we go to the beach?"
"The tide is rising. Where are you going? It's getting dark."
"But it's so beautiful..."
"Just take a look at it from the shore."
Ye Yaodong touched his chin, "Fortunately it's blue, if it were red it would probably have a bigger impact."
Fortunately, there are not many farmers in this era, and no one is going to sea now. They are all on holiday for the New Year, so it won’t have much impact on everyone. It’s just that we don’t know when to leave.
Lin Xiuqing also said at this time, "It looks pretty good, but aren't red tides all red?"
"Not necessarily. It depends on what kind of marine life caused it. It can come in any color."
"Will there be a bunch of dead fish washing up on the beach tomorrow?"
"It's just blue tears. Noctiluca is a non-toxic algae and will not kill fish."
"That is not bad."
Everyone was watching and discussing at the door with curiosity. Red tide does not happen every year, and this was the first time for everyone to see the blue one.
Several children filled their pockets with snacks and ate while watching the scenery. They were very excited. It was also the first time for them to see "Blue Tears".
Their noses were blown by the sea breeze, and they were reluctant to enter the house. They were yelled at and scolded by various families later, so they were dragged back and asked to look at it tomorrow.
Early the next morning, each one's pockets were filled with New Year candies and they couldn't wait to run to the village to share the "blue tears" they saw last night with their friends.
He spoke vividly, danced and gestured, and used their limited adjectives to describe it, which made a group of children scream and scream, and the adults also knew it.
After dinner in the evening, most of the village people came to the beach to wait.
When night fell, the blue tears were indeed still there. The waves washed out blue ripples, and when the waves hit, the book in the reef area also brought out a dazzling blue light.
The children didn't understand the origin of this phenomenon, they just thought it looked really good, and they jumped up and shouted happily.
But the phenomenon of blue tears did not last long. It only lasted for three days. When everyone came out to see it on the fourth night, it was gone and had receded.
Although it looks good, the villagers are relieved that it will not affect everyone's going to sea after the new year.
Chapter completed!
