"Oh, that's it." After listening to Aunt Ma's explanation, the grandmother nodded and slowly turned sideways and said, "Come in then."

"Okay." Aunt Ma got permission and took Xia Zhi's hand to lead her in.

After entering the house, Xia solstice realized that he seemed to smell the scent of joss sticks again.

When she was outside, she focused on being curious about what Auntie Ma wanted to do. She didn't notice the smell here. Auntie Ma brought it into the house and realized that this old lady seemed to be in the incense candle business. .

Because I experienced the large-scale feudal superstition in Xue Shantou yesterday, the Xia Solstice meeting was only slightly surprised.

After the grandma closed the door and locked it, she came in and asked, "How much do you want to take this time?"

Aunt Ma had prepared early and reported a bunch of numbers: "The incense is the same as the candles. I will get two bundles for each of the large, medium and small. Give me 10 stacks of gold paper and 20 stacks of silver paper."

The grandmother nodded and said, "Well, yes, I have stock here, and the price is still the old rules. Do you use money to buy tickets or use food in exchange?"

Aunt Ma said: "I have brought the food, and I have also brought the money and tickets. It is up to you to change what I want."

The grandmother said: "Okay, then half of it."

After greeting Aunt Ma, the turbid eyes of the old lady turned around and looked at Xia Zhi and said, "This little girl, how much do you want?"

Xia Zhi never did this before. She was the one who used flowers to go to the grave when sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival. Suddenly, she was cueed by the old grandma. This question made her a little bewildered. She hesitated and said, "This...may I not buy it?"

She doesn't have a lot of money. Good steel needs to be used on the blade, so how can it not be used to buy these things.

Seeing that she said not to buy, the old grandmother turned her head to look at Aunt Ma again, her expression on her face seemed to be very dissatisfied that she had brought a new person over and did not consume it.

Aunt Ma hurriedly said, "Oh, Granny Liu, you don’t know. She has lived in other provinces for a long time. She may not understand the rules here. She hasn’t given out the work points for this quarter. I don’t think she has any money on hand now. , I don’t have any food, and I can’t buy anything. Don’t mind you, I just brought her to recognize the door this time. She will definitely buy it next time.”

The grandmother said with a hum, "Then you wait here for a while, I'll get something from behind." After she said that, she opened the back door of the hall, walked in and turned around and closed the door again. They couldn't see the door at all. What is it, it's very mysterious.

After the grandmother left, Aunt Ma took Xia Zhi to find two chairs and sat down, and asked her, "Doctor Xia, are you still confused?"

Xia Zhi said: "Yes, I am a bit confused about what the situation is now."

Aunt Ma slowly explained to her: "You come back from Lin Province, and I don’t know what your rules are, but in our Xue Shantou, we have to make offerings to God on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. There are also the Ching Ming Festival and the village festival. These two festivals are also very important. You must pay attention to them. Since you come back, you have to learn how to live in the countryside. Don't think we are engaging in feudal superstition. Let me tell you that we are in this county. Although I have also responded to the country’s call to destroy the four olds and bring down the monsters, ghosts and snakes, the rules left by the ancestors are justified. We dare not forget those things. As for why we can’t forget, I will tell you later."

Xia Zhi didn't know what to say about it, so he could only giggle.

Seeing her disapproval, Aunt Ma told her, "Don’t take it seriously. Let me tell you that our ancestors will work well. There will be no time. When I return to the village, I will have free time later. I'll talk to you slowly."

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, yes. I didn't look down on the traditions left by our brigade. It was just the first time I knew about it. I was a little dazed. I haven't recovered yet."

She doesn't know how to evaluate this feudal superstition. If there are no immortals, demons, and ghosts, then what is she like a traverser? She is still a cultivator, although the spells are not very sleek, but they are also unscientific.

There is also the existence of Ma Xiaomei, which is suspected of crossing/rebirth, which is also the metaphysical evidence of Tie Zhengzheng. But let her believe in some illusory fairy gods and ghosts. It feels a little strange in her heart, because she has received scientific education, and there is no way at present. Help her solve these mysteries.

This time reflects the importance of Gu Chaoying's existence. If she is still there, if she needs to think for herself in the summer solstice, just ask her for the answer directly.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi sighed, and blamed herself for only making money and not thinking about these illusory problems. Now she has to find out on her own, but she can be sure of the existence of the soul, but whether there are ghosts, gods and gods. She dare not draw conclusions about the coexistence of human beings.

Just as she was chatting with Aunt Ma, the old lady came back from the back door, with a basket in her hand, which was covered by a cloth like Aunt Ma.

Aunt Ma exchanged the basket in her hand with the grandmother, and took out some money from her pocket to get the ticket. The two sides had a tacit understanding during the transaction, and she must have done it countless times.

The old grandma lifted a corner of the cloth covering the basket to make sure that the number of things inside was correct.

Xia Zhi secretly glanced at it and found that the grain that Aunt Ma gave her actually contained eggs and rice. She was shocked. She didn't expect that at this time, she would hide so much grain in private. The method was a bit powerful, and it was really not revealing.

After checking things, the two parties nodded to each other, and the transaction was considered a success.

After completing the transaction with the grandmother, Aunt Ma happily returned to the streets of Ganji with Xia Zhi with a basket.

Xia Zhi didn't ask Aunt Ma where the food came from, because she couldn't let Auntie know that she was peeking at those things. In her heart, she estimated that the food that had been constricted by various families should be an open secret of Xue Shantou's brigade.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Although the country is now restricting the people with laws and regulations, the management is inseparable from the rule of man. The leader of the Xue Shantou brigade is a villager. Seeing that they are accustomed to worshipping this kind of thing, Knowing that they must have been in this environment for a long time, it is difficult for them to change their thoughts all at once.

That should be the belief in the hearts of the people in their entire brigade. Abandoning traditional beliefs is not an easy task, so the team leader turned a blind eye to the worship of the various gods by the members. Putting these things on the surface makes him difficult to do, and he doesn't care about it in private.

Since the brigade captain didn't care about these things, Xia Zhi naturally wouldn't be boring, and ran to tear the Xue Shantou brigade's treatment of policies on the surface and the mask behind it.

Regarding Aunt Ma’s intention to bring her to buy these things, Xia Zhi’s thoughts changed, and she probably understood her intentions, probably because she wanted to pull her into their group of people, because she was an "outsider" and lived in In the brigade, one day you will find that the members are doing these things in private.

The villagers must be aware of the consequences of engaging in feudal superstitions. Aunt Ma was probably afraid to expose them by herself. In that case, she simply tied her to the same boat, so she didn’t tell her in advance what to do, so she took it with her. She came to buy joss sticks.

She also went to the grandmother’s house and wandered around. She was branded with the stigma of ghosts, ghosts and snakes. She was in the same group with other people in the brigade. If she wanted to sue in the future, the suspicion on her body is not clear. Who would believe her? I didn't buy anything at my grandma's house.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi silently followed Aunt Ma back to the bazaar street. It was already bright, and everyone who went to the bazaar should have also gone to the bazaar. The street was very lively.

Although Aunt Ma had smashed the summer solstice, she was still very enthusiastic to her and said generously: "Everyone is visiting the market, not going back so early, Dr. Xia, you also see what you want to buy, the money and the ticket. If it's not enough, I'll cushion it for you first."

I looked around at the summer solstice and found that there was no special need. He shook his head and said, "I don't have anything I want to buy. Auntie, you can go shopping, and I will help you carry things."

She didn't buy anything, and Aunt Ma didn't force her, so she took her around, and the two went to the supply and marketing agency to buy some sweets and pastries.

Before Aunt Ma put the candies in the basket, she smiled and asked, "Doctor Xia would like to have some. Several children in our family love this. Every time I go to the market, I have to buy them some."

Although I ate for half a month in the canteen, my stomach is not short of oil and water at the summer solstice, so I am not interested in cakes and candies for the time being, so I refused. Aunt Ma, seeing her refusal, did not be polite to her anymore, and put the candies directly in Cover the basket with cloth.

The two of them went shopping in this way for almost two hours. Aunt Ma bought some messy things, Xia Zhi helped to mention a little, and finally it was time to go to the meeting place to meet the others.

What can a group of aunts do when they get together? It's nothing more than chatting about their wife, children, grandchildren, and by the way, spit out some people who hate in common. Xia Zhi doesn't want to join these topics, so she can only keep a polite smile beside her, no matter who pulls her to ask Then, she tried her best to answer with um, ah, oh, and resolutely refrained from joining any vomiting topic to protect herself.

When everyone in the brigade had assembled, they began to walk back again.

Back in the team, Aunt Ma said, "Doctor Xia, I have to go to work beforehand, and I will talk to you when I am free."

"Okay, let's talk again when we are free, and I have to go back to the clinic for work." Xia Zhi said.

Saying goodbye to Aunt Ma, she went back to work in the clinic.

Before the seat in the summer solstice was hot, a man rushed in, without breathing, crossed the desk and grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you a doctor in the hospital?"

Xia Zhi gently broke free of his grip and said, "I'm a doctor. If you have any questions, just say it, don't move your hands or feet."

The man said, "My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, please ask the doctor to deliver the baby."

When Xia Zhi heard his words, he felt speechless and said, "She is going to have a baby. You should go to the midwife. How come to me? I don't care about this."

The man glared at Xia Zhi and said, "Aren't you a doctor? Why don't you care about delivery?"

This question was well asked, and Xia Zhi had a headache, and explained to him: "There are many types of doctors. There are obstetricians and gynecologists who specialize in delivering births, but I am not. I have never studied and cannot deliver births."
