Chapter 11 Formal Marriage and Comfort the Ancestors
[I'm going to the airport right away, I'll send two more chapters before leaving, everyone, see you on December 3rd!]
Lao Li Tou felt a little more comfortable, and felt that he could insist on going out for a walk by himself today. He moved to the courtyard on crutches to bask in the sun, thinking: "Youdiwa has been in the hospital for two weeks, she should be almost fine, I don't know if that kid from Zhiyang is still there with her." ”
Lao Li Tou was home alone, looking at the huge house, he soon felt lonely and even desolate, recently I don't know why this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, he really wants to talk to someone. Unconsciously, he slowly walked out of the house, not realizing that he had moved to the door of Lao Baotou's house. He hesitated, but knocked on the door and shouted, "Brother Bao, are you at home?"
"Who's the door, it's unlocked, come in by yourself...... Ahem...... "Old Baotou's weak voice came from the room, accompanied by bursts of coughing.
Lao Li Tou pushed the door and walked in, walked through the courtyard, walked into the hall, turned to the inner bedroom, and saw Lao Baotou lying on the bed weakly. When Lao Baotou saw that it was Lao Li Tou, he suddenly seemed to have some strength, he sat up, moved his body back, leaned his back against the wall, and said, "It turns out to be Brother Li! Sit down, sit down...... Let's sit and talk...... Ahem......"
"Alas, Brother Bao, I originally wanted to come over and call you, let's go to the hospital again to have a look, but I look at your bones, I guess I can't go......"
"yes. Brother Li, I remember that we are the same age, and we are both seventy-nine this year. I don't think you're too strong, it's good to be able to walk half a mile with a cane. Ahem...... Brother Li, you don't have to worry about Youdiwa, there are Zhiyang and his second aunt in the hospital to take care of you, and it is estimated that it will be fine soon. ”
"Alas, this time it's really thanks to Zhiyang......'s child! I...... Alas, Brother Bao, did you say that I was confused a few days ago. ”
"Brother Li, don't mention this matter, it's all over! Let's all see that we are about to see the people of Lord Yama, we can't look forward, we have to think about the things that will happen later, don't leave any regrets and regrets when we go below...... Ahem......"
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Bao is right, but ah, the regrets of my life will definitely not be able to make up, I have thought about my grandson for a lifetime, and I have four granddaughters. It's like you guy, it's a good life!"
"Brother Li, what are you talking about! Come on, let's not talk about these useless things...... Ahem...... I've been thinking about one thing these days, and I've wanted to talk to you several times...... cough cough cough ...... But, look at my bones, I don't fight...... It just so happens that you came here today, so I'll discuss this matter with you, and you see if it's okay. ”
"What's the matter, tell me about ......?"
"I've been thinking about whether our Li family and the Bao family can get married? Zhiyang and Youdi's two children have a deep affection, we all see it in our eyes, it is estimated that both of them have this meaning, why can't we be old people and fulfill them, I even wonder if we can take advantage of the two of us to catch our breath, and hurry up to give them a kiss!" I've been thinking about this for the last few days, and there are three key points to think about, can you listen to them first?"
"Okay! you go on......"
"First of all, the two children are in love, in the eyes of outsiders, they are a pair of childhood sweethearts, in our own eyes, in fact, the two people care about each other and like each other. Secondly, the two children are very good, not to mention others, Youdi was able to find a way to save Zhiyang when she was four years old, and Zhiyang was able to run out of the bottom of the cliff and find a way to save Youdi...... Brother Li, are you right?"
"Yes, you're right! How can ordinary people have such ability......! And what about the other point?"
"Ahem...... Last but not least. Brother Li, I don't know if you remember the object that Dan Xiaowa talked about, from Guangdong, and his name seems to be Guo Zhiming. This girl is studying history, she told a story about the end of the Tang Dynasty in our village, I listened to it, and I always felt that the descendants of Li Tang and the slave surnamed Bao in the story had some relationship with our two families!"
This story was specially told to me by Danxiao's father, saying that it was a story that his daughter-in-law discovered when she was studying history. After listening to it at the time, I also felt that it was related to our two families. This feeling, our two brothers have thought of going together!"
"Well, it would be better if Brother Li could think like this! So, I have an idea. Ahem...... If the two children are married, I will ask them to promise me one thing, that is, whether the country cancels the family planning policy in the future, they must have at least two boys after marriage, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Bao. Pass on the incense of both of our families. The girl surnamed Guo said that in order to continue the incense for Li Tang, the Bao family is going all out! You said that the ancestors are so desperate, and they can't go to my generation to do what the ancestors want to do! Brother Li, do you think this is the reason?
"Woo...... Ahhh......h
"That'...... Brother Li, is this a matter of agreeing to the marriage of the two babies?"
"Calculate! I can't ask for it, I'm afraid that your Bao family will suddenly regret it again! Or, when the baby is discharged from the hospital, he will immediately set up a banquet to settle the matter?"
"Haha...... Ahem...... That's not the case, wait for the children to finish the high school entrance examination, with the intelligence of these two babies, there is absolutely no problem in being admitted to the best high school in the county, and then we will have a double happiness!"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's still thoughtful! Okay, good! Just wait for the high school entrance examination to finish, just wait for the middle school entrance examination to finish!"
Suddenly, the phone on the bedside rang, and Lao Baotou picked up the phone and said "hello" and then said "Okay, good!" and then said to Lao Li: "It's Zhiyang and his second aunt who called, saying that Youdiwa was discharged from the hospital this afternoon, and she will find a car to send her home in the evening! You should be relieved at this time, right?"
"Don't worry!Don't worry!This is equivalent to three joys, right?!haha......"
Then, the two old men talked together for a long time, from when they were children, until the sun went down, and then they heard the sound of the door opening. Bao Zhiyang's second aunt came back with her two children, came in and said a few words to her father and Uncle Li before rushing back to the county seat, she still has a night shift to work today.
Lao Li Tou left with Li Youdi. Before leaving, he agreed with Lao Baotou to come over at noon tomorrow, and specially praised Bao Zhiyang, saying that he was really a good boy, which made Bao Zhiyang a little overwhelmed.
Two flowers, one on each table.
Let's talk about the Bao family first. At dinner time, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren gathered around the dining table, and the old Baotou solemnly proposed the matter of the child's marriage, and made a special explanation of the request to have two children. Bao Shihao didn't have any opinions, nodded in agreement. Bao Zhiyang had no opinion, and thought: "Don't say let me have two children, when I reach the lower realm, as long as Li Youdi is willing, it will be no problem to give birth to a football team!" He also nodded and agreed. Then, Lao Baotou asked his grandson a question that he had always wanted to know the answer: "Baby, how did you come up from the bottom of the cliff alone a few days ago? Why didn't Youdi come up with you at that time? Why did you appear at Grandpa Li's house first after you came up?" Bao Zhiyang was very calm after hearing this, and he said to his grandfather and father: "At that time, after you Di and I jumped off the cliff, didn't you say that you saw a fire phoenix appear in the sky, I was saved by the fire phoenix. I was probably lucky enough to get caught in some vines on the way, and then I was thrown out and fell into a cave, and I fainted on the spot. When I woke up, there was a big phoenix beside me, and it would talk and tell me that I had been in a coma for 15 days, and that I had to get out of here quickly or die. Then I was caught in its mouth and flew up, as for why it was able to throw me on the dining table at Grandpa Li's house, I can't say why, I was already scared and fainted when I was in the mouth of the fire phoenix. ”
The reason why Bao Zhiyang made up such a story is because he and Li Youdi agreed that they can't tell anyone about the nether world, half of it is to keep the secret of the two, and half is because even if they say it, others will not believe it, but they will be more suspicious. In order to prevent everyone from asking, the two of them strung together and made up such a story. Let's not talk about whether this story is credible or not, at least it is easier for everyone to accept than the Nether Realm! No, Bao Zhiyang's grandfather and father pondered for a while, then nodded, and suddenly said, "Oh! I see!" They obviously believed this story.
Let's talk about the Li family. At dinner time, four people from three generations gathered around the dining table, and after eating, Lao Baotou asked Baodi to go to the back room to do her homework. then proposed the matter of the child's marriage, and emphasized the matter of giving birth to two children and taking one of the surnames Li. Li Longzhen and Li Youdi had no opinion, and nodded in agreement! Then, Lao Li Tou asked: "Baby, how did Zhiyang come up from the bottom of the cliff alone a few days ago? Why didn't you come up with him at that time? Why did Zhiyang suddenly appear at our dinner table after he came up? Zhiyang should have told you these things when you were in the hospital, right?"
Li Youdi couldn't help but smile in her heart when she heard this, and replied: "At that time, after Brother Zhiyang and I jumped off the cliff, didn't you say that you saw a fire phoenix appear in the sky, (like this) ......" "Oh! I see! Then where did you fall after jumping off the cliff?" Li Youdi's grandfather and father continued to ask after listening to it, and they obviously believed the story. "I was lucky enough to fall into a pool, I happened to be able to swim, and when I got to the shore, I found a cave to hide, and waited for Brother Zhiyang to come and save me...... Li Youdi then replied.
Then, Lao Li Tou pulled Li Youdi into his bedroom alone, closed the door, found a small wooden box from under several layers of quilts at the head of the bed, and then took out a key from the inner pocket of his clothes, opened the wooden box, and took out two things: a small round mirror and a jade Guanyin. He said to Li Youdi: "Baby, I have two things for you, you have to keep them well." This small round mirror was left to you by your biological mother, as for what it is for, she didn't say, you can figure it out for yourself in the future, in short, this thing must be very important to you, don't let others find out. This jade Guanyin is handed down by our ancestors, and the back of the jade is engraved with a Tang character, and our ancestors are likely to be the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, you must also keep this jade Guanyin well, and pass it on to your son surnamed Li in the future. You must remember what I said to you today!"
"Well, grandpa, I remember! Don't worry!" After finishing speaking, Li Youdi took the two things into her hands, she first put the jade Guanyin into her personal pocket, and then took the small round mirror to look at it carefully, she suddenly thought of something, hurriedly said goodbye to her grandfather, and hurriedly ran to Bao Zhiyang's house. After arriving at the gate of Bao's house, he saw that the door was open, but Li Youdi did not go in, but shouted: "Brother Zhiyang, Brother Zhiyang, you come out!" Bao Zhiyang ran out after a while, and after seeing Li Youdi, he stepped forward and hugged her shoulders and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Zhiyang, I don't want to! I'm not happy!" Li Youdi said as she handed the small round mirror in her hand to Bao Zhiyang, "Look at this! My grandfather just gave it to me!". Bao Zhiyang picked it up and looked at it, he was very familiar, this round mirror was exactly the same as his own! He immediately understood what Li Youdi was thinking, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to say in a hurry: "Uh...... Youdi, wife, lady, that ...... Ah, it's okay, it's okay! Isn't it twelve years! We can afford to wait!"
"You !! (⊙o⊙) ...... Is there really no way? Is it really going to be like that?"
"Alas, who knows!
"Hmph, if you can't help it, I'll ignore you if you're messing around with other women!"
"It's okay!The Nether Master taught me, I really can't help but be able to do it myselfO(∩_∩)O"
"Get out! Get out! Get out!" After speaking, Li Youdi ignored Bao Zhiyang, put the small round mirror into her longevity lock, and ran home with a red face.
At noon the next day, Lao Li Tou went to Lao Baotou's house to discuss the next two children's marriage. Bao Zhiyang and Li Youdi both received a call from the school's head teacher, asking them to go back to get the admission ticket and prepare for the high school entrance examination a week later, saying that the principal said it, and they didn't care about the previous things after they came back, and they didn't need to write an inspection. Just kidding, others don't know, but the principal understands that Bao and Li are easy to be admitted to high school, and the admission rate is directly linked to his grades!
Bao Zhiyang and Li Youdi returned to the long-lost campus, what happened before was no longer discussed by the classmates, and the high school entrance examination in seven days was just around the corner, and everyone was making the final sprint. Bao and Li are still leisurely, and the knowledge of three years of junior high school has long been ripe in their hearts. No, at noon on the first day of returning to school, Bao Zhiyang took Li Youdi to a residential house near No. 6 Middle School. The house here is one of the many properties of Bao Zhiyang's second aunt - Bao Hailan and his second uncle - He Sen, usually no one comes to live at all, Bao Hailan saw that the idle house here is very close to the sixth middle school, so he gave the key to his nephew, so that he can come to live when he is fine. Today, Bao Zhiyang is going to give Li Youdi a body yang aura here!
Bao Zhiyang asked Li Youdi to sit down, and relied on her memory to find her three acupuncture points, namely Meixin acupoint, Huagai acupoint, and Huiyin acupoint, and used the method taught by the master to officially guide Li Youdi's yang aura into her body.
Half an hour later, the whole process was successfully completed. Li Youdi felt it and felt that the muscles of her whole body were a little stronger and her bones were a little more flexible. Li Youdi thought to herself: It seems that Bao Zhiyang taught her the method of Yang Aura cultivation is not nonsense, but really effective. After that, Bao and Li both began to meditate and practice in the room, and they forgot the time. They didn't react until three o'clock in the afternoon and hurriedly ran back to school.
July 12, 1997, today is the last day of the high school entrance examination. At half past two in the afternoon, Bao Zhiyang and Li Youdi worked hard in their respective examination rooms, and as long as they finished the history, they could say goodbye to junior high school life. Li Youdi finished answering the paper an hour later and checked it. There was some accident on Bao Zhiyang's side, he answered for about ten minutes, and he felt that his body and limbs were trembling, and a nameless breath was about to rush out of the Tianling cover. Bao Zhiyang was depressed at the moment, this was a precursor to his aura realm to break through, according to the master of the lower realm, this phenomenon was a clear manifestation of the sub-realm being elevated to the ugly realm. When ascending, it must be accompanied by a special mental protection body, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted.
Bao Zhiyang thought to himself, forget it, I won't take the history exam, even if I give up this subject, I can still be admitted to high school. He immediately sat up in the examination room, and used his mental method to slowly stabilize the tremor of his body......
The invigilator in the examination room didn't pay attention to the abnormality after discovering it, thinking that this student would definitely not be able to answer the questions, and he was bored and made a fool of himself in his seat. It wasn't until the bell was rolled up that Bao Zhiyang completed the consolidation of the initial level of the Yang Aura Ugly Realm. After that, he also handed in most of the empty history papers in a decent manner.
July 22 is the day when Bao Zhiyang and Li Youdi get married. At this time, just ten days after the high school entrance examination, the results have not been announced. However, this did not affect the mood of the Bao and Li families. Almost the whole village said that they wanted to come to congratulate, so the wedding banquet had to be placed on the central street of Jingwa Village, and 6 chefs were invited to start at the same time. Bao Zhiyang and Li Youdi actually saw Guo Zhiming at the banquet, and this summer she followed Gui Danxiao to Jingwa Village.
The food and drinks are all on the table. Lao Baotou and Lao Li Tou successively said a few opening words, which are nothing more than the child's marriage, Hong Kong's return, double happiness, busy, thank you for coming, etc...... Then the feast began, and everyone's faces were full of joy!
Halfway through the banquet, the old Baotou said to Bao Hailan and He Sen on the table: "My daughter and son-in-law, Zhiyang's aunt left early, and now for him, except for me and Shi Hao, the relationship is the closest to you." You have a career, a skill, and a way to be in the county, and you have two children, Bao Zhiyang and Li Youdi, when the time comes, you two will have to worry more, and you can help if you can. It's Dad, please ask you......" When Bao Hailan heard this, she immediately said: "Dad, what are you talking about, they are all a family, and they should take care of them!" He Sen also immediately followed: "Yes, yes, yes, Dad, it should be!
After listening, Lao Baotou smiled slightly, took a big sip of liquor, and then kept looking at the two children, Zhiyang and Youdi, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he quietly closed his eyes......
Everyone didn't notice the abnormality of Lao Baotou, but Lao Li, who was sitting next to him, felt it, he didn't make a sound, and thought: "Brother Bao, are you in a hurry to find your ancestors to report the good news? Why don't you wait for me? Let's be a companion on the road, how good it is to see the ancestors to report the good news!" After that, Lao Li Tou took advantage of people's inattention, poured himself a full bowl of wine, drank a fine light, and whispered happily, and after finding Bao Zhiyang and Li Youdi in the crowd with kind and loving eyes, he also slowly closed his eyes......
