"Auntie, it's time to eat. "It was the second uncle who came to ask everyone to come over for dinner.

"Okay, let's go over together. Grandma took Zeng Tong's hand and stood up and said to Zeng's father and great-mother.

Zeng Tong supported his aunt and grandmother while following the second aunt to the second grandfather's house next door.

My aunt and grandmother now live alone, and the family has no separate family, and the second grandfather's family helps take care of it, and the relatives take care of each other, and the cousin also has filial piety to his second uncle.

After eating, Zeng Tong sent his aunt and grandmother back first, while his great-father and great-mother continued to sit and chat with his second grandfather's family.

After returning to my aunt's house and helping my aunt sit down, the two chatted for a while, and talked about Zeng Tong's deceased grandparents.

"I still remember, your grandfather and my third brother, when I married your grandmother, I also came back to set up wine like this time, and everyone came back at that time, and it was the first time I saw my third sister-in-law, and your grandmother was beautiful when she was young. My aunt recalled.

"Was my grandmother very beautiful when she was young? I didn't have the same as when she was young, and now all I have in the house are the pictures taken by my grandparents in the last ten years. ”

"Yes, beautiful, it's a pity that no one in your family is like the third sister-in-law, you look more like your mother. "My aunt and grandmother are a little regretful.

"I'm pretty too. Zeng Tong deliberately teased her, wanting to make her aunt and grandmother happy.

"Yes, our Tong girls are also beautiful. By the way, you wait for me. With that, my aunt got up and went to the room.

After a while, my aunt came out with a small brocade bag.

"Look at this. ”

Zeng Tong took it and opened it to see that it was a thumb-sized jade cicada.

The jade cicada is white as a whole, only at the tail end of the wings, there is a faint yellow. The part of the head is probably a good head, and it seems that its eyes are very agile, as if something is flowing inside. This small jade piece has 2 holes on the top and 1 red rope is pierced on it.

"This thing was given to me by her first time when I was still a girl at home, and she gave it to me. My aunt looked nostalgic, and then said: "It is the first time I have received such a valuable gift, and I have been happy for a while, and I have always cherished it." Later, I married your aunt and grandfather, and then ......" Speaking of this, my aunt sighed and didn't say any more.

"I'm old, maybe I'll go to see your grandfather and them one day, I've been looking for a chance to give this back to you three rooms, I started to want to give it to you when you were born, and I haven't found a suitable opportunity. This time you just came back, just take it, your grandfather only has one child with your father, and now I give you this jade cicada, and I have a wish. ”

After speaking, my aunt and grandmother firmly put the jade cicada in her hand into Zeng Tong's hand.

When Zeng's father and great-mother came back, Zeng Tong talked about it, and then showed them the jade cicada.

Zeng's father looked at it for a while, and felt that this jade piece was so small, and it was estimated that it was not worth much.

"Since it was given to my sister-in-law by my mother back then, and now my sister-in-law has given it to Xiaotong, it shouldn't be a big deal, just like what she said is a thought. Since the sister-in-law gave Xiaotong and received it, forget it, before going back, leave a bigger red envelope for the sister-in-law. Zeng's father said to Zeng's mother after reading it.

"Well, that's fine. You look at it. Zeng's mother also agreed.

Since his parents said so, Zeng Tong took his things and went back to the room.

Back in the room, Zeng Tong sat alone on the edge of the bed playing with the jade cicada in his hand, and suddenly felt a heat at the root of his index finger, and the jade cicada almost got out of his hand!

Zeng Tong hurriedly took the jade cicada and put it on the table next to him, and then began to look at his fingers. The sensation flashed, as suddenly as if it had been struck by electricity, and then it didn't feel anything unusual at all. The place where the fever is located is the base of the index finger of the left hand, and after Zeng Tong was reborn, a circle of dark traces appeared here.

"Could it be this thing?" Zeng Tong thought suspiciously.

But Zeng Tong looked at it and touched it several times, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

"Delusional?" Zeng Tong couldn't figure it out, and then didn't look into it further, and put the jade cicada back in the brocade bag and put it away.

What Zeng Tong didn't notice was that the jade cicada eyes she saw before seemed to be alive, and when her fingers were hot, they seemed to freeze in an instant, and there was no longer a streamer flickering.

That night, after Zeng Tong fell asleep, another voice sounded: "Beep! Energy replenishment 21%, the system has been activated...... Searching for ......"

At this time, Zeng Tong was already asleep and didn't hear it at all.

The next morning, the eldest brother of the grandfather's family came back from the county seat with his wife and son Chenchen, who was in the second grade of elementary school. They were close to their hometown, and it was only more than half an hour's drive by car, so they only came here this morning.

According to the customs of his hometown, Zeng Tong's family, the men of the family, had to pick up the bride together in the morning, and the relatives and friends at home had a total of more than a dozen cars, and they drove to the flower shop early in the morning to decorate them, and then a group of people drove to the bride's house.

The sister-in-law's house is in the neighboring village, the little cousin and she are both in the town of high school, college in different cities, after graduation the two returned to their hometown to work, and then after being introduced, they found out that the other party was an old classmate, and began to slowly develop to the present, the two got married and set up a banquet.

All morning, Zeng Tong was dragged around, and when he finally settled down at noon, he was about to start the banquet. During this period, Zeng Tong has been busy with her mother and uncles, and Zeng Tong does not need to do important things, all she can do is to help hand over something. But Zeng's mother was afraid that Zeng Tong would not know the rules and break the etiquette, so she kept taking her and not letting her run around.

Before the banquet, the little cousin came to ask everyone to come over, saying that it was almost time to sit down, Zeng Tong followed behind a group of people, listening to Chenchen, who was walking in front, talking to the little cousin.

"Uncle, did you eat the watermelon you told me yesterday at noon?" Chenchen looked at his little cousin with wide eyes.

Brother Lobby is more strict.,Usually more strict with Chenchen.,Every time Chenchen goes back to his hometown,I always like to play with my cousin.。

"What watermelon?" asked the little cousin's hair, who lives in a few alleys behind the second grandfather's house, and came to eat wine together today.

"What watermelon? No, this kid heard the difference, is it ...... Winter melon, there is winter melon to eat at noon today. The little cousin pretended to be stupid, and quietly pulled Chenchen and signaled him not to say anything about it first.

"Really?" the little cousin was skeptical, but it was normal for him to mention watermelon in the summer, and he didn't think much about it.

"You'll know when the meeting starts, eat more, it's enough!" the little cousin grinned and diverted his attention.

"Okay, you're having a great day today, we'll have a few more drinks together. The classmate also quickly ignored the watermelon matter.

After a while, the little cousin came back and pulled Chenchen to the side, and whispered: "Good things are just like that, say so loudly and want to be more divided, right?

The place where the banquet is set up at noon, near the ancestral hall of the Zeng family, this piece is often used to hold various banquets in the village, and the children of whomever have a full moon for 100 days are mostly set up here for a few tables.

Today, it is used to hold a wedding banquet here, and it is decorated in red, and it looks very festive.

The sister-in-law also changed into a cheongsam, sat on the side and talked with her mother's family, and saw the little cousin leading a group of relatives and friends over, so she got up and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Uncle and aunt are here. "The sister-in-law had already seen all the relatives before, and she opened her mouth to call her great-father and great-mother as an elder.

"Xiaobao said that it was almost time to be seated, so we would come over first. Today is your big day, and Uncle is also coming to have a glass of wine. "Xiaobao is the name of the little cousin, and great-father has always called him that.

The sister-in-law beckoned everyone to go to the arranged seats and take their seats.

Everyone took advantage of the fact that the banquet had not yet started, and the neighbors talked and laughed together, and the scene was very lively.

And Chenchen has been following the little cousin as a little tail, and greeting the people who came to drink the wedding wine with a couple of newcomers.

At noon, the main entertainment is for the man's fellow villagers and neighbors, so almost all the old people in the village come, and this kind of banquet is generally invited to come, and a few pairs of elders of the same clan who have passed the golden wedding are invited to come over to witness, which also means that the couple can support each other through the golden wedding. These elders all sat at the main table, and the patriarch and his party lined up for a total of 3 tables, and when the food was served, there would be juniors on the side to help pour wine and vegetables, and the dishes on the table were more suitable for the elderly.

The banquet started on time at 12 noon, the little cousin and the little Tang sister-in-law toasted in a circle, Zeng's father followed the second grandfather and they sat at the main table, Zeng Tong and his mother were at the table next to them, eating with the aunts. Looking at the lively wedding banquet scene, accompanied by the sound of talking and laughing, and the crisp sound of cups and plates colliding, Zeng Tong couldn't help laughing happily.

When this banquet was coming to an end, Zeng Tong suddenly noticed that the fruits after the meal were all common apples, peaches, melons, etc., and there was no shadow of watermelon. After thinking about it, I also understood that there were not many watermelons I brought back, and now there is at most one left in the second grandfather's house, and there are not enough points for so many people at the banquet site, so it is better not to take it out at all.

By the time he finished eating this meal at noon, it was almost half past one, Zeng Tong went back with his second grandfather and his party, and when he passed by his aunt's house, Zeng Tong helped his aunt and grandmother to go back to the house to rest first.

Taking advantage of the old man's nap, Zeng Tong finally found a chance to enter the space, and as soon as he entered, he was startled.

At some point, a white egg-shaped object, about half a person tall, appeared on the grass in front of the hut.

Zeng Tong thought suspiciously: "I haven't seen it when I sneaked in before going to bed last night, what is this?"

Zeng Tong thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, his fingers burned yesterday, could it be caused by this thing?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, Zeng Tong cautiously reached out to touch the egg-shaped object, waited for a while and found that there was no movement, and continued to touch it, just stroking the object back and forth, and finally Zeng Tong came to the conclusion that this was a big white egg that did not react!
