Fortunately, the commander's wife is quite reliable, thinking that Xiao Man will leave tomorrow, and the little couple must have endless words to say soon, and their daughter is really unpleasant to be a light bulb at this time, and just after eight o'clock, she sent a service soldier to pick up Xia Dragonfly home.

Gu Shaojun was so angry that hugging her little daughter-in-law was another education, so that she would be stupid if she stayed away from Xia Dragonfly!

At the request of Feng Hui and Lin Qingqing, Xiao Man delayed leaving the provincial capital until noon the next day, and Gu Shaojun couldn't leave because of military affairs, so he sent a car and a driver to send her back.

The car was full of New Year's goods, a small part of which was bought by Xiao Man and Gu Shaojun, and most of them were given by others, Gu Shaojun's comrades-in-arms and colleagues, Xia Dragonfly and Feng Hui and his wife, the gifts were still exchanged, Xiao Man naturally also prepared a New Year's gift in return, and added some more ingredients and drinks to Gu Shaojun's storage ring, so that he could find an opportunity to take it to the canteen and invite everyone to eat together.

The whole family was very happy when they returned to Gongdao Village in one day, and Qiu Yan was even more relieved: I finally looked forward to Sister Xiaoman's return home for the New Year, but she was arrested by Brother-in-law Gu, and I was worried that Brother-in-law Gu would not let go!

On the 27th, 28th, and 29th of the lunar month, the village basically stopped working in the fields; every household killed New Year's pigs, fried and steamed to prepare New Year's dishes; on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, chickens, ducks, geese, and fish were slaughtered, cooked and sacrificed to the ancestors, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal at night was extremely rich; in the mid-eighties, the rural living standards generally improved, and food and clothing were no longer a problem; especially in a rich village like Gongdao Village, every household had saved surplus money, and they were willing to eat, drink, and spend it, and they were even more particular about the New Year's holidays.

After a year of joy and joy, everyone has grown a year older.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the door of the Mo family courtyard was wide open, and people came and went to see that it was very lively, not to do a happy event again, but relatives came to visit the New Year, and by the way, invited New Year's wine.

According to customs, generally on the second day of the new year, they begin to visit relatives to pay New Year's greetings, but Aunt Mo and her children and grandchildren of the Liang family in Shangling Village do not know why, they began to be unaligned last year, they are willing to come to Mo Agong's house to visit relatives, but they have to go their own way, you come today and I will come tomorrow, anyway, I don't want to come together, plus Aunt He and her children in Xiancao Village are also very casual, and the fifth sister is very troubled and laborious just to receive those relatives during the New Year's Festival, Mo Ah Grandma is very dissatisfied, Mo Ah Gong set rules for the eldest aunt and Aunt He: usually come to play at will, what to eat and drink, if the host is too busy to entertain and have nothing to say; , then you must kill chickens and ducks to treat each other politely, but if you want to entertain relatives every day, you can't do it, so if you want to come back to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year's Festival, you will come together on the fifth day of the new year.

Therefore, the fifth day of the new year is lively.

Mo Ah Grandma did not let Xiao Man go downstairs, saying that there were many people downstairs, and asked her to stay upstairs to read and write, all kinds of snacks, snacks and fruits are available in the living room on the second floor, and the bathroom on the second floor is equipped with a water tank, which can be used, and the iron door of the stairs is locked, and outsiders can't come up.

Xiao Man thought it was funny, grandma was still so protective when she didn't grow up, and she couldn't wait to be wrapped up without seeing the wind.

"Grandma, why don't I go to the Xiaoshan Bao Medicinal Herb Garden to play, and I can take care of some medicinal herbs. ”

Grandma thought about it and agreed: "It's okay, Dapeng is over there, ask Qiu Yan to go with you and bring some food, you three have never been in the eyes of the eldest aunt, and she won't ask if she is not in front of her." There is charcoal in the barn of the medicine garden, first burn the pot and put it on the fire, and when it is cold, you will roast the fire, don't catch a cold. ”

Xiao Man agreed, and said, "Grandma, in fact, I already know about Liu Fengying and their family. ”

Grandma paused for a moment, a little angry: "Who has so many mouths? I've told you everywhere, but I'll let you know." ”

Xiao Man naturally wouldn't tell her that the person who was too talkative was her grandson-in-law Gu Shaojun, who she liked very much.

only asked strangely: "Grandma, their whole family is going to live or die, and it has nothing to do with me, I know what's wrong?"

Grandma: "......"

Ban Yan sighed: "Liu Fengying died, poisoned her children, she herself was going to be shot, Mo Guoqiang also died, the courtyard will all belong to Mo Lao Er, Mo Lao Er and his wife are greedy, they are also afraid of death, so they invited a master to recite a mantra to sweep the house to drive away evil spirits, and they recited it for three days and three nights." Now it is said in the village that the master left a sentence that said that the house used to be very unclean, and all the people of that family, who had lived in it for three or five years, had fallen into evil spirits...... Your grandfather said that it was nonsense, and I didn't believe it, but I just didn't want you to know about it. ”

Xiao Man couldn't help laughing: "Ah Gong is right, that is superstition and nonsense." Besides, I'm not their own child, and I don't belong to that family. Even if there is really evil, I am not afraid, the books that Mr. Sun lent me have recipes to ward off evil spirits, grandma, have you forgotten? I have also made a small pendant for you to ward off evil spirits. ”

"That being said, after all, you were taken home by Liu Fengying's poisonous woman and lived in that house for eleven years, how can I not be afraid? Rather believe it, let's keep it in mind, beware of some is always right! Grandma also knows that rumors are always rumors, and they will disappear naturally after a while, but they will affect their emotions, and they are afraid that they will unconsciously weaken their minds, and people's morale will be low, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of evil spirits...... I didn't want you to go back to the village, but I didn't want you to go back to the village, but I didn't know anything about the monkey cubs in Da Qiangpeng, and I urged you back after urging you three times and four times! These days, I have detained you and prevented you from going to the village, and I have also explained to Shui Xia that you are not allowed to invite you to her house to play, so you don't have to pass by that yard - in the next two years, you remember not to take that road, and when you avoid the evil spirit for a while, you will be lucky in the future!"

Xiao Man nodded and agreed, but he still couldn't help laughing: Grandma is so funny, so godly chattering, she can play the role of a "fairy woman" by wearing a robe, saying that the folk "fairy woman" in this year is really very popular, and she has made a fortune in the past few years!

Downstairs probe into the kitchen to see, the kitchen is steaming, several people are busy making food, this time the Liang family girls have learned to be well-behaved, they are all vying to help with the work, Yu Wumei and Xinghua mother and daughter only need to command from the side, not so hard.

There are many things in the kitchen, and it is not easy to walk, Xiao Man went out from the hall, and in the spacious hall, there are a bunch of guests sitting on the fire, gossiping about homely things while eating melon seeds and peanuts, several people laughed and shouted Xiao Man, Xiao Man nodded and agreed, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Aunt Mo, with an old face, and her two eyes suddenly stared at her, like an enemy for several lifetimes.

Xiao Man didn't bother to pay attention to the old woman, went out to find Qiu Yan, asked her to go to the storage room to get some snacks she liked to eat, and the sisters went to the Xiaoshan Herbal Garden with a bamboo basket.

On the way, Xiaoman asked Qiu Yan: "The van I just bought, Dazhi will drive? He still dares to drive to the county seat to buy things? He doesn't have a driver's license, aren't you afraid that the traffic police will arrest him?"

Qiu Yan didn't understand that driving would be dangerous, so she didn't care and said: "Won't you be able to learn it?" My dad went to Guancheng to study for two months, and paid for Brother-in-law Jiang to learn too, my brother can't go to the city to study, Uncle Chengzhi of the fifth uncle's family works in a pharmaceutical factory, he can drive, only teach my brother for two days, my brother will, in the morning they go to the county seat, my brother drives Uncle Chengzhi has a certificate, not afraid of the traffic police. ”

Xiaoman is funny, but Dazhi has grown very fast this year, Niu Gao and Ma Da are not like minors at all, the road from the village to the county seat is smooth, and nothing should happen if you are a little cautious.

He asked again: "Why don't you go to Dapeng, it's not boring to work alone in the medicine garden?"

"Brother Dapeng didn't know that Brother Dazhi and they went to the county seat, he came back from practicing martial arts in Yaoyuanzi in the morning and saw a large group of people from the Yaoyuanzi, he turned around and went back to Yaoyuanzi, refusing to go home - the eldest aunt didn't like him, he hated the aunt even more, and he hated the aunt's family. ”

"Aunt Mo doesn't like me, because I'm not granddaughter, but Dapeng is granddaughter, why doesn't Aunt Mo like it?"

Qiu Yan pouted: "That old woman, she doesn't like me either, but who wants her to like it?" She said that I was sharp-toothed and uneducated, and scolded Dapeng for being an unlucky ghost, and scolded you......"

"Call me a short-lived ghost. "Xiao Man doesn't care.

"Uh, how do you know?" said Qiu Yan in surprise.

"That's how she scolded me when I was a kid. ”

"Dead old woman, it's so annoying! Sister, do you remember last year's incident? Liang Xiaoju clamored for Ah Gong to give her money for her to study, and she also broke Brother Dapeng's homework book, which made a lot of noise; Liang Panqiu from Dawang Village wanted to borrow a sum of money, but Ah Gong didn't give it, and it was useless for the eldest aunt to beg for it. And guess what? Liang Xiaoju jumped into the river because her grandfather didn't let her study, she didn't die, she became lame, and she went a little crazy, crying and screaming day and night, and the whole village couldn't live in peace...... The eldest aunt felt sorry for her daughter and granddaughter, and felt that it was all our family's harm, so she came to scold her grandfather for being ruthless and unrighteous, Dapeng replied to her two sentences, and she grabbed a stone to beat Dapeng, saying that Dapeng made her granddaughter faceless for two books, and scolded Dapeng for being unlucky for a lifetime, and scolded you again...... That time my grandma and my aunt had a fight, and my mother directly kicked the old woman out of the door, telling her not to come again in the future, and everyone will not be relatives!"

"Why is that happening again?"

"Thick-skinned, the old woman had a serious illness, the people of the Liang family came to ask Ah Gong to borrow money for treatment, Ah Gong said that no matter what happened, it was his own sister, so he gave it, and when she was well, she ran to Ah Gong again, crying and shouting 'My own brother', my brother said that the old woman would play a bitter trick. ”

Xiao Man sneered, the old woman will not live for two years if she can act again, and her lifespan in her previous life was so much.

Liang Panqiu's bad luck has begun to start, as friends of the victims, Wang Ligao and Zhang Lihua of Xiaowang Village are no better, the days of suffering are long, the sluts should accept it.
