The story of "it is not suitable to break ground": In ancient times, there was a man who was very superstitious. One day, he had something urgent to go out, but when he opened the almanac, he saw that it said "it is not suitable to go out today." He was so anxious that he thought for a long time and finally came up with a solution. I said to myself, "Don't go out if it's not suitable. I'll dig a hole and come out of the wall! " "Who knows that the earth wall is in disrepair and has been dug three times and two times. The hole hasn't been dug yet, and the wall fell down, keeping him under pressure. He thought, it's over! It really worked this time.

His son heard the sound and rushed to save him. However, as soon as the son dug the shovel, he struggled to shout, "Wait, wait, get the almanac!" " "My son knows his temper and can't beat him, so he has to bring him the almanac. He poked his head out from under the broken wall, opened the almanac, and hurriedly urged his son to say, "Go and tell your mother to prepare dry food for three days! "The son asked," Why do you cook dry food? " He said: "The almanac says,' It is not advisable to break ground within three days'. Give me three days' dry food and dig me out in three days! "
