Okay, here's the explanation.
usually, we will pay our respect to the Earth Deity on the 2nd or 16th of each lunar month.
On the 2nd or Lunar 2nd Month, is the Birthday of the Earth Deity, on this day, people will prepare more offerings for the Earth Deity.
The Earth Deity is also consider as one of the Wealth Deity to us.

On the 1st and 15th of the Lunar month, we usually pay our respect to the Earth Deity inside the house wheras 2nd and 16th, we will have to do the ceremony outside the house.
