095: Mortals have twin lights on their shoulders
After revealing the episode of Granny Chen, Cao Ming and Li Qingyi went to the reservoir to take a turn.
The two of them were on the embankment, looking at the vast water in front of them, as if all the troubles in life were insignificant, Li Qingyi also rarely relaxed with all his heart, hesitated, and said softly:
"Cao Ming, my mother is remarrying."
This was a bit abrupt, but Cao Ming's mind was lively, and he quickly thought of it as the purpose of his aunt's trip, and his heart crossed suddenly, how else to say that their mother and daughter suddenly visited.
Looking at the confused look of his sister in front of him, Cao Ming was a little distressed.
"You don't want to?"
Li Qingyi's expression was slightly entangled:
"I think my mom and I are living well, there's no need to do it anymore..."
Cao Ming laughed:
"No wonder you didn't like us so much after my dad and your mom got married."
Li Qingyi smiled apologetically.
Cao Ming shrugged, signaled that it was nothing, very Ah Q spirit, and said easily:
"But history proves that your reactionary behavior has not changed anything, you see, no matter what, we still get along very well?"
Cao Ming's expression turned positive and continued earnestly:
"Sister, I haven't seen anyone who wants to marry my aunt, and it's hard to make a judgment, but just for you, I can give you a suggestion: if you reject this aunt's remarriage from the bottom of your heart, then make it clear."
Li Qingyi sighed and said leisurely:
"I want to, too, but my mom has a hard time.
This time the person was introduced by my grandfather, and remarriage is also my grandfather's intention, if my mother agrees, we can ease the relationship with my grandfather, if we don't agree..."
Cao Ming's expression also became no longer relaxed, because Cao Ming knew a little more about the relationship between his aunt and the family in order to be with his father. And to be honest, with the external conditions of the aunt, everyone feels "wronged" when she follows Cao's father, who is just a long-distance freight driver.
"What's the situation with the other party, have you met?"
Li Qingyi nodded:
"I had a meal before, and that uncle brought a little brother, and the uncle was fine, it was the little boy, and his personality was a little weird."
Cao Ming was strange in his heart: "Weird? What kind of character needs such words to describe. ”
Li Qingyi is not used to talking about others behind his back, so he comforted himself: "Maybe it's because of my young age, I'm younger than you, I just started junior high school this year." ”
Cao Ming is not at ease:
"You can't relax and indulge just because you're young, and boys' mental age may be much precocious than their physical age."
In Cao Ming's impression, when he first entered junior high school, boys already had enough understanding and interest in certain things like men and women in private.
"Why do you feel more nervous than I am?"
"You're my sister, I'm not nervous, who is nervous?"
Li Qingyi was speechless, on the surface, he didn't seem to care much about Cao Ming's answer, which could be regarded as a fleshy answer, straightened the sideburns in his ears, and looked at the water in the distance. The heart is gradually rippling, and the seemingly calm corners of the mouth have slowly drawn up a quiet and warm arc.
Eat at noon.
None of the four mentioned the matter of remarriage, and after sending them to the car in the afternoon, the grandfather took out a key from his pocket and said:
"This was given by your aunt, the key to the house before.
They are going to move out during the Chinese New Year, and the house has been transferred to me in my name, and I will transfer it to you when you are an adult. ”
Cao Ming knew that since his grandfather had accepted this set of keys, he naturally put aside his previous prejudice against his aunt, and also understood the next arrangements of others. There was no hypocrisy at the moment, took the key, and said easily:
"That's okay, I'll move in when school starts, and I can save some accommodation fees, and I can rent out the extra room, maybe I can make some money."
Grandpa nodded, but he was not very interested in the affairs of this house, so he didn't say anything more.
The days went by day by day.
Cao Ming thought that the time was almost up, and it was time to go back to the county seat to continue the great cause of making money.
When I really decided to go to the county seat, I felt that I was missing something in my heart, and after thinking about it, I felt that the problem was Sanfat.
Speaking of the three fats, Cao Ming suddenly realized that he hadn't seen him for a long time, since that accident, the three fats have been in-depth and simple, comparable to the party-state spies before the liberation.
Cao Ming took two bottles of canned fruit and went to Sanfat's house to have a look, but before the butt was hot, Cao Ming took the initiative to leave.
For no other reason, Cao Ming couldn't stand the eyes of the three fat people staring at him stunned, and he was hairy.
Cao Ming was suspicious, and went straight to the back village with doubts, ready to ask Granny Chen about the matter.
Granny Chen is also a legend in this village, belonging to a special person who eats yin and yang rice, usually people respect her, and once something happens, they will feel that she is indispensable.
Mother-in-law is not surnamed Chen, her husband's surname is Chen, when he did not die, the people in the village called him husband Chen Sanye, the third master was a young master of a landlord's family before, after the land reform, the family fell into the middle of the road, and he went out to run the rivers and lakes when he was more than ten years old, and waited until he was over half a hundred years old before returning to his roots.
Chen Sanye is very popular in the village, and he is very respected by everyone for his knowledge and ability to travel south and north for most of his life, especially in the area of feng shui and burial, it can be said that he is a dominant family in the village.
After the death of Chen Sanye, his book skills are said to have been left to his wife, so Granny Chen can be regarded as inheriting the mantle of the third master, and now everyone will ask Granny Chen to see after encountering some obscure things.
After the death of her wife, Granny Chen moved to an open place behind the village, and in order to make a living, she opened a flower shop.
After a long distance, Cao Ming saw all kinds of paper figures and paper horses in the flower shop waving to him in the wind.
Entering the store, Cao Ming explained his intention.
Granny Chen held the bamboo strip to support the body of the plain white paper virgin, and recited the words:
Yang people have double lights on their shoulders, and they seem to be celibate at night.
The yin soul turned back and extinguished at first glance, and the yang soul was unable to open from then on.
Cao Ming was stunned.
He is too familiar with this limerick poem, in fact, not only him, but everyone in this village is familiar with it.
People in this area generally believe that there are three yang lanterns on the body, located on the top of the head and on the left and right shoulders, and this yang lamp is three fires in the eyes of the ghost, and you must not look back when walking at night, because the place where the head turns will blow out the lamp on your shoulder, then the ghost will approach your body from the side of the extinguished lamp, so the ghost will usually call you behind you in order to make you turn back.
In summary, it is for you to remember:
In the middle of the night, when you hear someone calling you, don't look back!
Cao Ming still couldn't accept it: "What do you mean...... It's three fat... Is it really a ghost? ”
Granny Chen stopped what she was doing, put her hand that had been wrinkled like goosebumps on Cao Ming's wrist, and frowned: "Baby, don't worry about him first, your own problem is big." ”
Cao Ming's heart was shocked, he forced himself to calm down, and said with a dry smile: "Mother-in-law is talking nonsense, what's wrong with me?" ”
Granny Chen chuckled silently, looking like she was dealing with a child who wanted to hide from her parents and mischievous, but she didn't ask any further questions, and said to herself:
"The three palaces and five squares of your physiognomy are slowly changing, and there is no trace to be found, although the skin is a Ming baby, but it has already taken off the original numerology trajectory.
Baby, you must keep these words in mind in the future:
Leave it alone! ”
Cao Ming resisted stubbornly and said in a disdainful tone:
"Mother-in-law, I'm very familiar with your routine. Always say something specious and ambiguous to confuse people, and then drink it as a slap in the face, and scare people at every turn..."
Hearing this, the mother-in-law was not angry, and the bamboo strip in her hand turned slightly, pointing one end at Cao Ming.
Just when Cao Ming didn't know what to mean, he saw the unfinished paper boy in his mother-in-law's hand laughing weirdly at him.
Cao Ming was frightened into a cold sweat and hurriedly rubbed his eyes, but when he looked again, he found that the paper figure with untraced eyebrows was expressionless at all.
Cao Ming was choking, his stomach was full of words and he didn't know where to start, his mind was fluttering, and he lost his soul and left.
