Having a meal is the most troublesome thing to do.

In this era, you have to do everything by yourself, do it yourself, and you have to go to the hotel like later generations to solve everything, and you can save some worry.

Zhou Shujie also discovered a habit in their village.

Well, it's more of a custom.

It seems that every guest is invited by a man in charge.

Women and children will not be present among the invited guests.

Originally, she had prepared a meal for two tables.

Thinking about a table for men and a table for women.

Unexpectedly, there were only men, not women.

Eating at a wine table, eating is almost done, and the most common thing to do is chattering.

What are you talking about?

That is, to tell about the ancients, about what happened in the past, and some of the mysterious stories they heard from others.

Listening to them talk about this, Zhou Shujie and the others were stunned for a while, and you may think that this is fake.

Zhou Shujie believes that he is real, because she herself is the best example. is also because these are all names and surnames, and they have noses and eyes.

For example, the village chief and the old man of their family told me.

"It happened more than 50 years ago," he said. A small village in Keshan County, called the "Patriotic Sixth Team", there is a family surnamed Liu in the village, their second son Liu Er, at that time in the Kuomintang army as a small platoon commander officer, once led people on daily patrols, in the village not far from the roadside encountered a fox, this fox drunk, drunk on the side of the road sleep did not know anything. ”

"The soldiers who followed Liu Er were going to get this fox back to drink and eat meat.

was stopped by Liu Er, he carried the fox into the deep grass and covered it with grass.

Regardless of whether the fox could hear it or not, he said something to himself. "Don't run to the side of the road, just sleep in the deep grass, and go home when you wake up." Don't go out and drink secretly, the next time you get drunk and someone else picks you up, you may die. ”

After that, they went on patrol. That night, Liu Er slept soundly, shivering as if he was frozen, and then he had a dream.

In his dream, he saw the fox in the daytime, standing fifty meters in front of him.

To his surprise, it was actually talking, and it was spitting.

The fox said, "I have only come to thank you for saving me today, and for helping me through this dead knot, and I have promised to do one thing for you in order to thank you for your kindness." I will leave you three sticks of incense, and when you have something that you can't solve, you will light these three sticks of incense, and kowtow to the south and call my name three times, and I will hear it, and I will come to help you. My name is "Fox Saihua". With that, the fox was gone, and the dream was over.

Liu Er, who was in a daze, turned over and continued to sleep.

When he woke up the next morning, he suddenly remembered the dream he had had last night.

He felt that this might not be true, and that he should have been thinking about it every day, right?

As he got dressed, a wooden box fell out of his clothes.

This shocked him, picked up the wooden box, looked at it carefully, and found nothing special, just an ordinary long box.

When he opened it, there were three chopstick-thick incense inside, which immediately reminded him of the dream he had last night, and scared Liu Er so much that he almost didn't throw the wooden box out.

After that, wherever he put this box, he felt very hot.

Later, after thinking about it, I sent it back to my home and asked my mother to collect it.

In the days that followed, he was worried that something bad would happen.

I was scared every day, but nothing bad happened.

After a long time, he slowly forgot about it.

In the years that followed, the Japanese surrendered and the Kuomintang was defeated.

In the end, when New China was founded, these former Kuomintang soldiers were disbanded and returned to their homes, becoming ordinary peasants, quietly living a life of rising and setting sun, facing the loess and facing the sky.

It wasn't until another incident happened later that he remembered everything he had been.

Don't you say it first, he is the son of the Liu family, so he is called Liu Er.

He also has an elder brother named Boss Liu, and what happened again is the fourth son of his eldest brother's family, "Liu Zhiqiang".

Liu Zhiqiang was twenty years old that year and went to the next village to attend a classmate's wedding.

He helped his classmates accompany the guests and sent them away.

He drank a lot of alcohol that day, and he was very drunk.

When he got home, it was the middle of the night, the family was asleep, and he didn't alarm anyone.

When I returned to my room, I didn't take off my clothes, but I lay down and went to sleep.

The next morning, his sister-in-law asked him to have breakfast, but no one answered, so he asked his brother to come and see him, and his brother came into the house and looked at him, and saw that his brother was sleeping soundly there, so he didn't make any noise with him, thinking that he had drunk too much and didn't wake up.

In this way, he slept until noon and did not get up.

His brother came to ask him to eat again, and then he realized that something was wrong with him.

The originally healthy face has now become like yellow paper, and people can't wake up no matter how they scream, but they have been asleep.

Frightened, his brother hurriedly called Lao Tzu and his mother to come over.

The family members all came around, screaming again, and pinching people or something, but they didn't wake up anyway.

Later, I couldn't help it, so I went to ask the famous god in the wrong place to take a look.

At that time, it was just in time for my country's cultural troubles, and they went to invite people, but they didn't dare to show them, so they only took them some yellow paper, read it to them, and let them go home and burn it.

The family had no choice, so they took the yellow paper home and burned it.

After that, there was no effect, and the child was in a coma on the kang for three days, and every day his family poured some rice soup into his mouth, and he was afraid that he would starve to death.

When the family saw that this could not be done, they went to ask the great god to show it.

When they got there, they all knelt down, and their heads fell to the ground, and the great god also relented, and when he saw that he couldn't come, this big living person might be gone, so he agreed with them to come back to show them when it was dark.

On this day, their house was like a secret meeting, and the main gate and the second gate were guarded.

The windows of the house were nailed with quilts, and not a single light came out.

This night, the great god jumped down, and after skipping, their family realized what happened to his son.

It turned out that on the day Liu Zhiqiang went to drink, he passed by a forest on the way back, and couldn't help but pee next to a tree.

It's bad for him.

He right onto a small dirt bag.

This is not an ordinary small dirt bag, it is a grave, because no one has taken care of it for a long time, it has become like this.

This is not a simple grave, this is a grave of an aunt, the kind of girl who died before she got married.

Just because of his soak of urine, the urine went to the grave of someone's aunt's daughter, and the girl fell in love with him and asked him to be her husband.

When the Liu family heard this, they were frightened, and they all begged the great god to let her think of a way.

The great god saw that this didn't work, and he danced again the next night.

But this girl has a big temper, people don't want gold, silver, anything, so they want this Liu Zhiqiang to be her husband.

When the great god saw it, he couldn't negotiate anything, so he told the people of the Liu family. "My way is shallow, and I can't cure her." Either you don't invite someone smarter, or you're left to your fate. ”

In this way, the Liu family went out to collect a few more from ten miles and eight towns, but there was still no way.

Liu Zhiqiang still looked like a living dead, lying there motionless.

Just when the Liu family was about to give up, Liu Er suddenly remembered that he had saved the three incense sticks that the fox had given him.

He went home and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the wooden box containing the three incense sticks.

Back then, his mother helped him clean up this box, but now his mother has long passed away.

He could only rummage around in this house, but fortunately he found it.

That night, when it was late at night, and everyone had slept, he lit the incense in the courtyard of their house, and inserted it in the south, and when the incense was halfway on, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Knock it, call it "Fox Race Flower", knock it, call it "Fox Race Flower".

But when the incense was gone, he didn't see the fox appear, and it would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed.

He thought that it might be because his incense had been left for a long time, and it was invalid, and it was not good. I went into the house and went to sleep rather disappointed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he fell asleep, he had a dream, in which he saw the fox again.

Now, the fox has changed.

When he rescued this fox before, its fur was very mixed, and it was of all colors, but now this fox is snow-white.

The fox spoke: "I thought you would never use these three incense sticks in your life, let's say, what's the matter with you, what's the matter, I'm too good to become an immortal." ”

Liu Er told him all about his nephew in his dream, and he followed the fox to everything.

When the fox heard this, he nodded and said he knew, and then left.

It was gone, and the dream awoke.

When Liu Er woke up, he felt that this matter was really mysterious and mysterious.

He didn't sleep well after tossing and turning, and the next morning just after dawn he went to his eldest brother's house to see his nephew.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his nephew Liu Zhiqiang, sitting there drinking millet porridge.

His heart can be regarded as completely falling to the ground.

When Zhou Shujie heard such a story, he felt that this might be true, whether you believe it or not, but many things are so mysterious and mysterious.

The old man of the village chief's uncle's family was very eloquent, and he talked about this matter with ups and downs, and these people who listened to it were shocked.

Anyway, Zhou Shujie's family today's treat is a very successful end.

It should be said that the guests and hosts are all happy.

(This article is not promoting superstition, this is just a story.) ）

Later, when I think about it, Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law will discuss the highlights of this story.

Life is like a movie theater, where movies are played day and night.

When this movie is finished, it will be put down next.

Zhou Shujie: The same is true of their lives.

People who ate the sweetness last winter also went up the mountain in droves this year.

It's digging pits and traps again, and it's a trick, ready to make a lot of money before the year.

More than half a month has passed since the wires were connected in the village, and the novelty at the beginning is almost over, but there is no electricity until now.

The children at home look at the light bulb on the roof every day and ask every day.

Why is there no power yet?

When will the power be turned on?

Zhou Shujie and their village should be considered relatively wealthy in these ten miles and eight townships.

Just like this time, each family has to pay five yuan for the electricity meter and buy their own light bulbs.

Every family in their village took the money, and none of them could afford it.

It is said that in other villages, more than half of the families cannot afford this money.

Of course, if you don't take money and don't buy a meter, people won't be able to connect you to electricity.

Those who didn't take the money had to continue to light candles or oil lamps to get by.

Today, the secretary went to the township for a meeting, and came back to give the villagers a letter of approval, saying that it would be officially energized tomorrow.

This made the villagers very happy.

Some of the children went home to sleep before it was dark, thinking that when they woke up, they would see electricity tomorrow.

Zhou Shujie is also very happy, when there is electricity, the house will be lit up at night.

Now the electricity word is cheap, only five cents a word.

The light bulbs of the supply and marketing cooperatives have really been sold out of stock during this time.

Zhou Shujie and the others don't have to worry about not having a light bulb, after all, their family is now considered to be an internal person.

You guessed it, the light bulbs in their house were bought by her second sister-in-law.

Nowadays, there are three degrees of electric light cannons, the smallest is 25°, then 40°, and the largest is 60°.

Some people who want to save some electricity buy 25° light bulbs.

Zhou Shujie's family bought the largest 60-degree one. And she also bought two, one in each of their east and west houses.

On the night of the electrification, their village was the liveliest ever.

Lights are on in every house. The men sat under the lamp playing cards and chatting, the women sat under the lamp and were busy with their needlework, and the children sat under the lamp doing nothing, looking up and staring at the lamp.

After looking at it for a while, I closed my eyes and covered them with my hands.

At this time, what they saw was a world of stars that were ever-changing.

They thought it was very interesting, and we had a lot of fun with each other.

When it's time to go to bed, the adults want to turn off the lights, but they don't let them turn them off.

In the end, it was suppressed by the adults in the family by force.

Zhou Shujie also had a surprise that someone from the township helped her bring back a package from her home when it was almost dark.

As soon as she received the package, Zhou Shujie knew who mailed her.

Their family is out of town and they don't have any relatives.

The one who can mail something to her is a pillar.

It was in this bright light that the family gathered around her to open the package.

There were 10 bags of milk powder for the child.

There are also two bottles of malt milk essence that should have been bought for my mother-in-law.

There is also a bag of candy next to it, which is placed in someone else's house, and others may not recognize it.

But Zhou Shujie knew that it was two handfuls of hawthorn rolls, oh, by the way, it was called "fruit egg skin" at this time, and there was a pack of white rabbit toffee.

At the bottom of these things are two pieces of clothing pressed down.

When I opened it, I realized that it was two long woolen coats, one dark green and the other earthy yellow.

Well~ It doesn't seem right, but what kind of yellow is this?

Heck, anyway, if your family had ever bought this kind of clothes, you would know what color it was, and I can't tell exactly what color it is.

For Zhou Shujie, this was really an unexpected surprise.

She knows the popularity of this era, after all, has she seen a lot of Hong Kong movies?

But she did not expect to receive such the most fashionable clothes.

A long coat with a big lapel like this is not at this time, you can buy it if you say you can buy it.

Not to mention that things are not easy to buy, but the price is also very expensive.

It seems that the pillar took all the money taken from home and sent them back with the purchase of things.

To be honest, at this time, the salary of a soldier is really not much, even if you are a cadre, it is still very little.

When the pillar left, he took five hundred yuan from his home and gave it to his comrades-in-arms along with his salary, so that the comrades-in-arms helped him buy these things.

The egg peels and candy in this were bought by his comrades-in-arms with the rest of the money.

The two children were very happy, they ate sugar again, and they ate the sweet and sour fruit dan peel.

Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law are also very happy, they have bought so many fabrics for them, and they are not as happy as the dress they received today.

The colors of these two clothes are already the most vivid at this time, except for big places like Hong Kong and Shanghai, they will not appear anywhere else.

Her mother-in-law chose the old green one, and Zhou Shujie asked for the yellow dress that she couldn't tell.

That night, the two of them put it on and tried it on.

They stood in front of the mirror, passing left and right, looking back and forth, although they looked a little fat on their bodies, they still looked good.

After everything was put away, Zhou Shujie wrote a reply letter to the pillar with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The letter told him that the family had killed the New Year's pigs, and there was electricity, and they received the clothes, and she and her mother-in-law were very happy.

In this letter, Zhou Shujie put another 200 yuan. Thinking that this pillar bought them all his money, and now he has no money, right?

In fact, where the pillar lives now, there is really no money, and you can't buy anything if you have money. That's why he asked his comrades to buy you things with all the money and went home again.

Even those two coats, he saw someone wearing them on the road, so he specially wrote them for his comrades-in-arms to buy.

Before going to bed that night, the two children were cleaned up by Zhou Shujie.

Haha, don't think crooked, it's not that you've been beaten, but you've brushed your teeth.

The two of them ate three or four pieces in Guantang one night, and ate two or three fruit egg skins.

Just let them sleep like this, Zhou Shujie is really afraid that the few little teeth they have just grown will be swallowed by insects.

But there is no toothpaste or toothbrush that children can use at this time.

Zhou Shujie found a clean soft cloth and wiped them three times with salt water.

Although the process is not so wonderful, Zhou Shujie is quite satisfied with the result.

She was satisfied, but both children fell asleep with red eyes.

Since then, they have also learned that they can't eat sugar at night. Woooooo
