Chapter 5: Lying
I see, Peach Blossom secretly cocked her mouth when she saw her second aunt eating, and she didn't dare to make a sound, but she was seen by Mei Duo on the other side, Mei Duo stared at her desperately, and the chopsticks in her hand were also tight, as if the chopsticks went down and ate the meat of Peach Blossom in her mouth. In this way, it seems that Mei Duo and the Wang family are all the way, unlike Mei Xiang who is now blushing and bowing her head.
Grandfather asked the uncle again, "Youwen hasn't come back yet" Without waiting for the uncle to answer, the cousin-in-law rushed to say, "Don't come back, it's just spring, there are too many shortages in the store, Youwen followed the dock to buy goods, and my brother just mentioned him as a little steward" This is to ask my grandfather for credit. "That
That's good, that's good, come back and tell him to do a good job. "Follow our family, of course you can't lose him." My grandfather coughed and said loudly, "Let's eat." ”
The whole meal is like a combat meal of a rapid march, the wind is surging, the children who were still chattering just now, now they are reluctant to say more than half a word, when the peach blossom has just finished eating the first piece of meat, and then there are only a few pots left when the chopsticks are left, because everyone is not eating fast, but grabbing fast, everyone eats in their mouths, there are a few pieces in the bowl, which is called taking it first. The eldest sister Peach Bud saw that she was stunned and put two pieces in her bowl, and the younger sister Peach Leaf also looked at the eldest sister's bowl, because there was only one poor piece in her bowl, and the eldest sister had to give the only two pieces to Peach Leaf.
Peach Blossom wants to put the meat back again, the eldest sister quickly dodge, there were tears in Peach Blossom's eyes, thinking that so many people care about her and she is not lonely, in her previous life, she was loved by her parents, and since she was a child, she has not had a sister who has something to discuss and talk to, God has given her a chance to start anew, she must work hard to make her family happy, and live a good life with meat.
Everyone is satisfied with the meal, but not reluctant to leave, the last time to eat meat or the New Year, usually grandfather they only hunt nearby, hunting people, the weather is cold, most of the daily can hunt a pheasant, rabbit-like small animals, are sold to subsidize a large family, empty-handed back when there are also, hunters generally do not go into the mountains, the more complex the terrain is, not even a path, the direction is not good will be lost in the inside can not get out, there are large beasts tigers, bears, the most frightening is the wolves, There are very few opportunities to escape. Like my grandfather, who was a first-class hunter in the village, he couldn't get in once or twice a year. It's not always possible to hit a big prey like a sika deer.
Grandfather and uncles chatted for a while, seeing that it was late, he arranged for the uncle to go to Uncle Niu's house to make an appointment with the ox cart to enter the town tomorrow, and Peach Blossom heard that there was an ox cart in the town tomorrow, so she quickly calculated that she would go to everything this time, that is, she would try it with crying and making trouble, her West Point plan could not wait any longer, and there was another way worth trying.
Waiting for the Li family to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, each family also went back to the house, Peach Blossom took Li's hand and had to go to the grandfather's house, saying that there was something important to discuss, Li thought in his heart that a villain was still discussing, and there was no way to be entangled by her, and besides, her grandfather had always liked her, so he played with her for a while.
The peach blossom entered Xu Wang's house for the first time, and the door was a hallway, which was equivalent to the current living room, with two Taishi chairs on both sides of a square table in the middle, and a picture of Fu Songhe's longevity hung on the wall of the square table, and one side behind the door was a large water tank, two wooden barrels, and on the other side was a shelf built with wooden boards, on which were bowls and chopsticks and pans, and below were several pickle jars.
There is a door in the middle of the wall on both sides, Li and Peach Blossom are left turns in, into the west of the house, grandfather is lying on the kang and smoking dry tobacco, Xu Wang's sitting on the edge of the kang and talking about homely things, seeing them come and not say let sit down, Peach Blossom doesn't care about these, Xu Wang's asked coldly, "Something is wrong with the third family," maybe she thinks that Li is here to borrow money, "Mother, it's Peach Blossom who has something to say," Xu Wang's impatient said, "I will talk about it tomorrow, go back to sleep early" She had a hunch in her heart that Peach Blossom was coming to sue, Everyone saw the rabbit in the afternoon, and Peach Blossom must want to complain to her grandfather, and she wants to go back again because of her grandfather's love. She's got to stop that.
"Ah Gong" Peach Blossom spoke directly to his grandfather, and Xu Wang saw that it was true, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go, let's talk about it tomorrow." Of course, Peach Blossom couldn't leave before she got down to business, and when her grandfather finished spitting out the cigarette, she said, "Grandpa, Grandma, I have something important to say," "Oh, let's talk about it." Grandfather spoke, and Xu Wangshi had to stare at Peach Blossom impatiently, "Ah Gong, what I said is very important, I hope I finish speaking, let's not say it, Ah Gong, in fact, it's not me who is in a coma these days, it's me who has been a boy for the Bodhisattva." "What" Three different voices sounded in the room at the same time, and I knew that it would be such a reaction, "Come here, flower girl, go and light the oil lamp, and tell Ah Gong what is going on." Xu Wang's hands and feet quickly lit the oil lamp, grandfather also sat up and held Peach Blossom's hand, Li came over and hugged Peach Blossom's shoulder, everyone looked at Peach Blossom expectantly with their breath.
"I just feel that I have come to a place in a hurry, where there are high-rise buildings, buildings are dozens of stories high, there are cars running on the ground, can run thousands of miles a day, and there are big planes that can fly in the sky, there can sit hundreds of people on it, can fly tens of thousands of miles a day, where to wear, eat, live, and we are not at all the same, and there are white and black people, I have seen a lot of strange things, I saw a female Bodhisattva in a daze, she asked me to make a boy for her, at first I followed a master who served the Bodhisattva's food to learn to make dim sum, After studying for a year, the Bodhisattva asked the master to go back to her world, I continued to make dim sum, and the Bodhisattva sometimes took us out to see everywhere, and I did it for 30 years, and I also taught a little apprentice, and she asked me to come back, and the Bodhisattva said that I was enlightened by her, and there will be great changes in the future, so that I can benefit everyone with the knowledge I have learned. She told me to forget the past and start anew. "After saying the lies that I had thought about in one breath, my heart was beating faster, the lies were really hard to say, and I would have to tell many lies in the future to fulfill today's words.
"Is this true, thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva, what else did Bodhisattva say?" Xu Wang's family and just now were like two people, and they were excited to hug the peach blossoms and kiss them, "There are many more, where I have been for thirty years, and I am often ignited." It's just that I didn't get sick and forgot everything before. "Forget the good, forget the good, this is the Bodhisattva who wants to give you a great opportunity." "The Bodhisattva told me the same thing, just telling me not to talk nonsense, otherwise it won't work. If the court knows that I can't be arrested and serve them, then the good thing will become a disaster for our whole family. "Peach Blossom also knows that this is the truth, if she doesn't knock them, maybe a big disaster will come that day, and one person can't do a government.
"Yes, yes, the old woman must take care of your mouth. This is a blessing for our whole family," my grandfather told my grandmother, "Certainly, definitely, I still know the priority," "I can't let the fifth person know about this today, and you can't tell the children when you go back to the third family. The children have no scheming, maybe one day the disaster will come out of their mouths, and our whole family is finished" "Don't worry, Dad, no matter who asks about this matter, I won't say it." ”
After coaxing and bluffing a few people, Peach Blossom chirped and said her true purpose, "That, Ah Gong, I also want to go to the market tomorrow to see if there is anything that can make snacks." She thought that when he proposed this, they would at least think about it, and even doubt her previous statement, but she didn't expect her grandfather to agree happily, "Okay, okay, peach blossoms go together, I said that I have never hit a sika deer in my life, and this time I bumped into one, it turned out that they were all Bodhisattva guidance, and the sika deer is a rui beast, it seems that the flower girl is going to bring luck to our family." ”
Xu Wang's eyes when he looked at the peach blossoms were immediately different, gentle, respectful, loving, and even his voice was much softer, just like playing with changing his face in Peking Opera.
Several people asked Peach Blossom a lot of questions about her past life, and they were even surprised, but they were even more convinced by what Peach Blossom said.
Peach Blossom and Li returned to the house only to find that it was very late, the sisters were asleep, they didn't light the lights again, so they had to take off their clothes on the kang in the dark, accidentally touched the kang cabinet, and woke up Peach Bud, "Mother, you are back." "Well, go to sleep." Peach Blossom suddenly thought of the eldest sister's marriage, "Mother, don't you want the eldest sister's marriage to be decided now, wait for half a year, give me half a year, and when our family is good, the eldest sister's marriage will definitely be better." She is not bragging, but absolutely confident, thinking that she completely occupied the streets and alleys of a city in only half a year. It took two years for her to open a dessert shop all over the country. She studied marketing abroad and graduated with a Ph.D.
"Hey, you don't know, your eldest sister she" "Mother, go to sleep," Li was about to say something that was interrupted by Peach Bud. "Okay, sleep, sleep." Peach Blossom had a premonition that her mother and eldest sister must have something to hide from her, or about the eldest sister's marriage, so she asked another day.
The Li family helped Peach Blossom press the corner, "If you don't tell me anything about this kid, it really scares me." "Mother, I have to let my grandfather know about this, or we won't be able to explain anything in the future." Peach Blossom didn't dare to tell the Li family, the main reason is that you don't have money, you can't be a family, and my plan can't be realized if you tell you. I still want to eat meat early, I don't want to see you being bullied again, this time the Xu Wang's family is not light, it is estimated that she will not trouble the Li family recently, and when the rich sister builds a big yard and moves out, she will not look at the old woman's face.
Lying is also a mental job, the brain has been running at high speed for an afternoon, and it will be much easier to tell it all, and Peach Blossom fell asleep unconsciously, so she didn't know what happened later.
The lights in the grandfather's house came on late that night, and the old couple discussed a lot of things, and only they knew what they discussed.
