Chapter 13: Gossip at Home
The back room is a bedroom, an antique bed, and a cool board. The hall is both a dining room and a kitchen. Yan's father sleeps in a side room, a bed and a granary, and the side house used to be a pig breeding plus toilet, and now it is a utility room with a toilet. Several houses are connected in the same straight line, forming a tiled house made of loess. There is also a kind of rural house in southwest China, where the kitchen and side rooms are extended, and the dining room, the inner room, and the wing room are in one line.
"Woo!" the two of them whirled under the table.
"Meow meow!" stood two black and white cats in the corners of the two benches, they were a mother and son. Standing upright, looking at the table with green eyes, the two front paws danced from time to time.
"Cluck, cluck!" The hen in the coop also jumped out, and the eggs rolled around in the coop. While jumping and shouting, he looked at his master, and his eyes seemed to speak: If you look at me for merit, you should reward me.
"Quack!" the ducks also came to join in the fun, and a flock of ducks, from their exclusive territory below, ran to the yard and circled around the food bowl.
"Goose, goose, goose!" the arrival of the ducks startled the five great white geese resting under the tree.
"Come, little black, you two, meow, your mother and son. Yan Shou used chopsticks to pick up some vegetables for Xiao Hei, the flower cat.
"Wait," said the mother, who had sprinkled some rice on the hen, to the ducks and geese.
"Quack!"
"Sum, yes!"
In exchange for a burst of screaming.
Although it was just coarse tea and light rice, looking at the smiles of his parents, Yan Shou ate very happily and satisfied.
"Look at this, if you don't call back in advance, you don't buy meat, you can only eat it. Mother said apologetically.
"It's okay, the food at home is a good thing, it's all natural, and you can't buy it outside. ”
Yan Shou knows that the family only eats meat during the New Year's holidays. In addition, it was only when he came home that his mother bought meat and came back to make it. Even if there is smoked meat hanging at home, parents are reluctant to eat it.
"Yes, our dish is really natural. It's a pity that there are a lot of people growing in this neighborhood, and the price of the small market and the corner of the store is very low, and the price in the next town is higher!" Dad said helplessly, "If there is less, you can't go out for a trip; if you sell a basket of vegetables, you have to pay half of the market management fee." ”
The shop is currently the only small market. It started out as a small shop, but gradually there were more shops on both sides of the road, forming a street, and the bus stop was at the end of this street.
"How can there be such a high management fee,"
"It's well said, it's a trading place dedicated to vegetable farmers, with a shade canopy. When vegetable farmers sell vegetables in other places, there are chengguan who specialize in keeping an eye on them and driving them away. You can only go there, the city management doesn't care, you don't pay the fee, you smash things, and beat people. ”
"If it's so bad, no one cares?"
"Who dares to care, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, ZHZ's brother-in-law, Xiao Ba can get it. ”
"PCS is also complicit in them!"
After the meal, the previous joy turned into a hint of solemnity. The mother packed up the dishes and went to wash them, and the father went back to the side room to take medicine and take a nap. Take some food to feed the cats and dogs, and some food to feed the geese and ducks.
When you're done, you move out of the drying chair and put it up in the shade of a tree. Lying down, the breeze blowing, this feeling, it's so cool!
"There were a lot of mosquitoes outside, so I went inside to sleep. Mother's voice came from the hall.
"It's okay, I'm lighting mosquito coils. "Words and guards have divine sense, how can there be any mosquitoes!
"Mom, why don't you go to sleep too?"
My mother got up at 3 a.m. every day to pick vegetables and sell them. Even though the price is very cheap, you can always exchange some money to subsidize the family.
"Just sleep," gradually came the sound of slight breathing in the room.
The divine sense covered the old house, and found that the parents were already asleep. There are still a lot of mosquitoes in the old house, and when the needle is swept away, there is a mosquito corpse on the ground.
The two little black mouths, and the two cats, I don't know if it was because of their consciousness, or something else? They lay quietly near Yanshou. The opportunity is rare, the analysis frequency communication is kind and appeased, the soul of cats and dogs is stronger than that of birds, and it is a little difficult to tame them just after gaining the ability, but now it is a piece of cake. From a distance, under the osmanthus tree, the lounger, the strong man, the cat and the dog, just form a harmonious pastoral landscape.
It's a pity to think of the mosquitoes on the ground, but it would be interesting to domesticate the creatures near your home into legions to complement each other. However, those mosquitoes have more or less sucked the blood of their parents, and it is fair to lose their lives now.
At the end of the lunch break, my parents got up on time. They were about to go out to work, and when they saw a mosquito corpse on the ground, they were very puzzled, and said to themselves, when did the mosquito coil effect be so good?
My father is currently suffering from illness and is able to do some light work. The burden of life is all on the mother. My mother is getting older, and her health is getting worse day by day, but she is better than my father.
Yan Shou opened his eyes, the effect of the ice heart in his hometown was much better than that in the city, especially the smell of the earth, which felt more intimate. As soon as his consciousness moved, the cat and dog got up and sold cute amusement on the ground, and it seemed that the effect was good.
He put away the chair, put it back in the back room, stopped his parents who were about to go out, and said in his heart: Just get straight to the point, and rush back at night!
"Mom and Dad, do you believe that there are cultivators in this world, such as planet guards?"
"I believe that I have a cousin who is proficient in Zhou Yi and has long predicted that there will be a catastrophe soon, alien creatures will come to plunder resources, and the defenders of this planet will fight with them to protect the planet. There are also a lot of changes on the planet. Although my cousin passed away, when I was a child, you also saw it, and stayed in our house for a while. Father Yan was a little strange, "Today, how do you think of this stubble? I also told you before, your grandfather and grandfather are still running the rivers and lakes, and they all have unique skills at the beginning!"
"That's good!Mom, Dad, look carefully!" Yan Shou put his ability to use.
"It's a little interesting, but it's a pity that it's not the ability of the ancestors!" the mother was stunned, and the father was a little surprised, and quickly returned to normal and sighed, after all, he himself studied metaphysics.
"Dad, that's okay, you wait!"
He took the schoolbag, came to the hall, took out the pen and ink scroll and the inkstone, put it into the spring water and grinded it for a while, picked up the inkstone and splashed it into the air, a ball of ink slowly fell, the brush turned into an afterimage and walked through it, and finally dripped off the shaft, a pair of green mountains and golden suns were completed, and it was written that the sun was shining.
The scroll shimmered, the coolness of the room was swept away, and the natural sunlight enveloped the room, warm but not hot, and the parents felt a sense of relief.
"boy, let's try it, lift the table. Father Yan grabbed one side of the table.
"Old man, what nonsense are you talking about, why are you carrying this empty table?" he said, still helping Father Yan grab the other side.
"Get up," Yan's father roared, and he exerted himself with Yan's mother.
But there was no movement on the table.
"It's so strange, is it sticky?" Yan Mu was surprised.
"Ancestors bless! Our team has finally picked up the glory of the past and glorified our ancestors. Father Yan smiled happily.
"A thousand pounds, a thousand pounds in the legend. ”
"Old man, you don't have a problem today, what do you mean?" Yan Mu was at a loss.
"Shou'er, put the scroll away for me. Father Yan said.
He put away the scroll and handed it to Father Yan. Yan's father casually threw it to Yan's mother.
"Old man, what are you doing?" Yan Mu was startled, but when she received it, it was fluttering.
"It's weird!"
"This is a thousand pounds of words, open the word panel a thousand pounds, except for the person who can pick up the words at will, the other needs a thousand pounds of force to pick up, roll up, is the weight of a piece of paper. Father Yan explained slowly.
"This is a sign of Confucian inheritance, a treasure of the town's house, which can ward off evil spirits. You'll never have to buy groceries again. Directly let Shou'er, get a few, pick up and sell, it's enough for our old couple to spend a lifetime. ”
"Dad, it costs a lot to get this, only a trace, and now it's gone. Recovery is slow, and I don't know how long it will take to read a book to recover. Yan Shou smiled bitterly.
"Little thing, you come with me. Give you something to keep you able to speed up your recovery. Father Yan led Yan Shou into the back room, opened the locked cabinet, took out a small box with a pattern, and handed it to Yan Shou.
"With Haoran righteousness, I can open the box. ”
Yan Shou took it with some surprise, this is exactly what his divine sense covered the old house and could not penetrate before, he was still thinking about it at the time, so he took the time to ask his father. Moved the little bit of righteousness that had just recovered to the box, and the box lit up.
"Click!" was a booklet in an indecipherable ancient gold script. exudes an inexplicable cordiality, and it can indeed speed up the recovery of Haoran righteousness.
"According to the generations, the mouth is related, this is a codex of the ancestors. Father Yan looked at Yan Shou hopefully.
"I'll leave this to you, and I'm going to give it to you in the future anyway. Make good use of it, inherit the mantle of the ancestors, and go on. ”
"Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely follow in the footsteps of my ancestors. "Speak firmly.
He told his father everything he could say about the recent events.
"What are your plans now?" said Father Yan.
"You don't have to worry about the things in the field. I will grow all kinds of vegetables, all kinds of vegetables, I have been trying for half a month, and I have some experience. I'm going to get two kinds, a good one for my own people to eat, and an ordinary one for the frost hotel. You two elders just do housework at home and get food. When the dish is changed, you don't need to take medicine anymore. When my ability improves, I can cut off your roots. ”
"How old is the woman?" said Yan Mu.
"Three years older than me. ”
"It's okay, the female junior hugs the gold bricks! When, bring the child back, you're done, we're okay at home." "Yan Mu said, "I just don't know if the other party is at ease." ”
"It's okay, Shuang'er is very talkative, wait for the summer vacation, now the child is in kindergarten. ”
"Dad, Uncle Xiao next door, and Auntie, are they still at home? Xiaojian hasn't been in touch with me for a long time?"
Now your Uncle Xiao is working as a security guard at Dianzi Primary School, and your aunt is helping in the canteen of the primary school. I won't be back until the evening. ”
"Oh, I want my aunt and uncle to help us, and they can eat whatever they want. ”
"This is okay, if you want to say reliable, they are the only ones. ”
