Crazy Apricot Grove (10) (1)

In recent years, Li Zhenshu can be said to be a pivotal figure in the boundary of Xinghua Village.

Although he doesn't have half an official hair, he is tougher than the sour apricots and Maolin who are covered with official hair, and he has to fight his waist to do things, and his prestige among the villagers is even higher. For example, if someone wants to choose a site to build a house for the baby, they don't greet the village team first, but run to Zhenshu's house, nod and beg him to choose a good place. At this time, Zhenshu usually asks if he has told the cadres. When someone comes, he will reply, what are you talking about, it's not too late to talk about it when you see it. He smiled and said, "It's better to talk about it." Let's just laugh and laugh, and discuss with the people who come where the boundaries are good, and where the boundaries are general. When the foundation was excavated, he was invited to survey the location and arrange the layout.

When the new house was on the roof, Zhenshu was also invited to help select a good day and an auspicious day. He carried with him a bag that was so dirty that he couldn't see the color clearly, which contained a compass, pen and paper, and other items. The people in the room were sweating and doing their work, and he found a shady place to sit down, smoke cigarettes, drink tea, and talk and laugh with the people in the room. When it was time to put on the beam, he took out a pen and paper and wrote the pairs on the new beam. For example, "Liang Daji is on a certain day and a certain time in a certain year", etc., ask someone to post it, and he will be done. When eating, they are also allowed to sit side by side with the village cadres.

All this is because Zhenshu is the most knowledgeable and well-read person in Xinghua Village. The selection and construction of the Sifang family's homestead fully proves this point.

The people of the village have no foresight, and all they focus on is the immediate and practical benefits. The beautiful days in all directions make people's eyes so hot that they can't even sleep well. And behind this scenery, Zhenshu sent it with his profound knowledge and mysterious wisdom. Just imagine, who doesn't want their babies to be able to get ahead like the Quartet.

However, Zhenshu did not his tail because of this. On the contrary, he was always cautious and careful about the knowledge he possessed and the respect of the villagers. After all, this thing is tainted with too much of the toxin of feudal superstition. If one accidentally goes out and is labeled as spreading feudal superstition and destroying the good situation of the revolution, he will not be able to eat and walk away. Even if he hid at home and looked through the broken **, he stretched out his ears and listened carefully to the movement outside. As soon as someone approached, they tucked the book into a crack in the wall under the head of the bed.

Outside, or someone complimented him on his ability, he hurriedly waved his hand, and said lightly that he was just relying on experience, and he felt that this arrangement was pleasing to the eye, how could there be any explanation. The more modest and perfunctory he is, the more he attracts people's respect. It is said that real people who have the ability are hidden and not revealed. The more a bottle is less than half a bottle swaying, the more they make noise everywhere and listen to it, but they can't even let out a fart.

Zhenshu's knowledge was not fabricated out of thin air. In his early years, he went out with his father to start a small business, and in order to make it easier, he was sent to a private school outside the mountains to study for a few days. I don't know where I found two ancient books to survey the Yin and Yang Mansion, called "Drawing the Yin House" and "Drawing the Yang House". With his own study and studiousness, he has achieved today's full of knowledge.

Zhen Shusheng has three sons and three daughters, all of whom have started a family. All three daughters married into wealthier families outside the mountain. Among the three sons, the eldest son, the four seasons daughter-in-law Lan Xiang, gave birth to four children. The eldest girl's name is Chun'er. The three sons were the summer solstice, the autumn equinox, and the winter solstice. The third son, Sifang's daughter-in-law, Jin Lian, has a pair of children, grandson Bin Bin and granddaughter Wenwen. The second son, Sixi, is the favorite of Zhenshu's many children, smart and pragmatic, and easy to use his brain, just like him when he was a child. It's just that the four happy lives are not strong, and the daughter-in-law Osmanthus gave birth to a daughter-in-law in one go, namely Waiting, Pan'er and Stopping. After giving birth to a third daughter, Osmanthus wanted to stop giving birth to a daughter and give birth to a son instead, but she stopped getting pregnant, and she has not been able to get pregnant to this day. As he grew older, there seemed to be no hope for the birth of a son.

In recent days, Zhenshu's spirit has not been as good as before. I don't read books, I don't eat lazily, and I can't even sleep. He was very upset, but he didn't dare to tell outsiders, and he didn't even reveal a word about his sons Sixi and Sifang. This is not only a shameful thing, but if you don't get it right, you will have to die.

Zhenshu's boring mood directly affected the atmosphere in the entire courtyard. In the past few days, the courtyard has always been quiet, without the high-profile atmosphere of the past. The woman also had a sad face, and went in and out silently, no longer sitting in front of the door to invite the nearby women to put on a scene and laugh. Zhenshu understands that such a thing cannot be allowed to continue to develop. But for a while, I couldn't think of a good way to solve it. He wanted to find the Quartet directly, make things clear, let him pay attention, and often take care of his family and his own women. After hesitating again and again, he just felt that it was inappropriate, and he was afraid that the Quartet would not be able to hold back his anger and would make things worse. Besides, Lan Xiang can't be sure that Jin Lian is cheating with someone, let alone Xigui. It was all just a guess on her part. However, there is no wind and no waves. No matter what you say, Lan Xiang is still Jin Lian's sister-in-law, and she won't wipe and feces on her family's face for no reason.

He called his wife into the house again, lowered his voice and asked, Lanxiang told you, is it true. Isn't it that you listen to the twist.

The woman's low voice was only enough for Zhenshu to hear. She said, "It's not real." Some time ago, late in the evening, she went to Sifang's house to look for shoes. Before I could knock on the door, I heard someone talking inside, like the voice of Xigui. After a few knocks on the door, the sound was gone. When I went in, I saw that Jin Lian was home alone. It looks weird, as if he's done something wrong. In those days, didn't Bin Bin and Wenwen live in our house, she can still talk to ghosts. The two of them quarreled because of this. Lan Xiang also wants to talk to Maosheng's family and let her resolve it. Tell me to hurry up and stop the mile. Except for the four seasons, Ren Ghost doesn't dare to call know.

Zhenshu muttered, yes, yes, no ghost dares to talk about it. Then he let out another long sigh.

After that, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and the sorrow had pulled their old faces like gray winter melons.

Lan Xiang led the autumn equinox and the winter solstice into the courtyard, startling the two of them. The two hurriedly separated, each found an object at random and held it in their hands, and posed as if they had nothing to do. Zhenshu also called the names of the babies too enthusiastically, asking here and there, to hide his panicked expression.

Lan Xiang was born with a pair of sharp eyes, and she already understood the thoughts of the two. She also pretended not to know anything, wandered around the yard blindly, left the baby cub, and hurried away.

The old couple of Zhenshu looked at each other and couldn't say anything.
