    ?

    Throughout the morning, the most important activities were the monk's chanting and my incense offering and kneeling.  In addition, the most impressive thing to me is the question about fish.  Before we went back to our hometown, although my mother mentioned it, she couldn't explain it clearly.  After we got home, my mother thought of asking my sister after being reminded by the monk: "Did you bring any fish back?"

    "Of course I brought it! Mom, did you forget to remind me? I remember you said to me at that time: 'On May 7th, girls need to buy a fish to bring back to their natal family'. So, early this morning I  Let XX (the name of brother-in-law) go to the vegetable market and buy it back." There was obviously a little complacency in the elder sister's words.  That means "I do things, you don't worry"!

    "Oh, this is a bad time."

    After hearing what my mother said, my sister asked very puzzled: "Mom, I have bought the fish back according to your wishes. Why is it so bad?"

    The brother-in-law standing aside also showed a very puzzled expression.

    "Because, this 'May 7th' needs live fish!" Mother explained anxiously.

    "What? Live fish? Mom, why didn't you say it earlier? It's really bad. Not only did we buy fish early this morning, but we kept the fish stuffed in plastic bags after we bought it. I guess,  At this moment, that fish has most likely been smothered to death." My sister said with some blame and worry.

    "That is, if you had said earlier, then when I bought fish, I would have asked someone to fill the plastic bag with enough water." The brother-in-law also said.  Of course, there was no reproach in the brother-in-law's words, but only regret.

    At that time, the mother was very sensitive. After hearing this, she hurriedly defended herself: "It's not that I didn't say it earlier, but I mentioned it to me after the monk came over this morning. At first, I didn't know  This is the rule!"

    After the brother-in-law heard this, he quickly comforted his mother and said, "It's okay. It's a big deal. I'll just go to the market in the town and buy another one."

    "Don't rush to buy it, first pour out the fish in the convenience bag to have a look. If it is still alive, then there is no need to go to the town." While the monk was chanting, I came out of the house and reminded.

    "Yes, yes, yes! Take a look first, and buy another one without spending money?" My mother, who is used to frugality, immediately expressed 200% support after hearing what I said.

    Under our wake-up call, my brother-in-law took the black convenience bag containing the fish as quickly as possible.  At the same time, I also used the fastest speed to press water into the plastic basin next to the well.

    With a "crash", a black figure jumped out of the convenience bag into the water in the plastic basin.  We all backed away as the water splashed in all directions.  Dodging the scattered spray, we moved forward again.  Taking a closer look, it was a big herring with a black body.  It looks like it should be three catties away.  After fluttering its cheeks twice, the herring, which should have been smothered to death, miraculously started to swim in the plastic basin.  Seeing this, I started to pump water into that big plastic basin again.  After all, this herring is not small in size and does not have a high enough water level, so it will be extremely difficult to restore its original vitality.

    The two children who were playing on the drying ground saw so many of us gathered together, out of strong curiosity, they jumped up and surrounded us.  One of them came forward, grabbed my job, and held up the water with some difficulty; the other came to the side of the big plastic basin, and stretched out his hand to tease the big herring that was recovering its vitality.  No one cares about the one who presses the water. Although it is a bit difficult, he has a great time playing; the one who tried to tease the fish was caught by his mother the moment he stretched out his hand. He failed in his purpose, and his little mouth suddenly twitched.  Just pouted.

    "So-and-so (the nephew's nickname), don't touch the fish. This fish is very useful, kill it, and see if I don't beat you to death!" Seeing this, the brother-in-law immediately stopped talking.

    Hearing his father's scolding, the child had no choice but to put away his desire to tease the fish, and with some reluctance, he circled around the big plastic basin and carefully observed the big herring that was not swimming very happily.  However, those little hands were a little dishonest. The moment my brother-in-law turned around, he finally couldn't hold it back, and reached into the water to stir it twice.  Under his alarm, the big herring, which had regained a little strength, jumped up instinctively.  Amidst the sound of "crash la la", the brother-in-law turned around again and gave his nephew a hard look.

    "Dad, I didn't touch it. I just tested the temperature of the well water in the plastic basin. Who knows, this fish suddenly jumped up." Seeing this, the nephew quickly defended himself.

    "If you don't put your hand into the plastic basin, the herring will jump? Get out of the way, don't stay here anymore!" the brother-in-law scolded fiercely.

    "Dad, it looks like this fish will come back soon.?? I can't die.  Just let me watch over here for a while.  I promise I'll never put my hands in the water again, okay?  "The nephew hurriedly begged for mercy after hearing the words.

    Just when the brother-in-law wanted to warn his nephew again, the monk who had finished his righteous thoughts for a passage came over.  "Enmita Buddha, good, good!"

    "Master, you came just in time. I was just about to ask you for advice. How should I deal with this fish?" The brother-in-law asked respectfully, ignoring his nephew.

    "God has the virtue of loving life. The use of live fish is for the purpose of releasing life. After I use the live fish to perform rituals, I will release it. This can also be regarded as accumulating merit for the dead."

    If I hadn't known that this person was a fake monk, then I would have mistakenly thought that the person in front of me was an eminent monk after hearing his remarks.  I don't know if this person's so-called kindness is deliberately pretended.  Anyway, during the banquet, I didn't see him eating less meat.

    "Release? Master, it's a pity that such a big fish was bought with money, so it's a pity to let it go like this?" The mother seemed a little anxious after hearing this, so she asked tentatively.

    "What a pity? This is accumulating merit for your family member (referring to the deceased father)! Only when he has accumulated supreme merits can he (referring to the deceased father) be able to"

    Before the monk finished speaking, the brother-in-law hurriedly said emphatically: "Let go, let go! Master, today, we will all listen to you."

    Seeing that no one raised any objections, the monk stopped talking.  Under the guidance of the monk, we took the live fish home, and after a worship ceremony, my brother-in-law went to the river with a plastic basin to release the fish.  Seeing this, the two children quickly followed.  In their eyes, grandpa or grandpa's "May 7th" should be nothing but fun.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
