After sighing, it is natural to look for the reason for the failure. Since there is nothing wrong in the whole process of mixing the dough, there must be some other reason why the dough does not leave. What is the reason for this? In fact, there are many people who have realized something. It's just that most people don't want to talk to me. On the one hand, because I am of a higher rank, and on the other hand, because I am not very good-tempered, they are afraid that they will be ruthlessly scolded by me if they say it. But at last there was a bold man, and the man said to me a little cryptically, "This really doesn't make sense." Every step of the way, so many of us can see clearly, and there is absolutely no problem. But, why in the end, this side just didn't rise? Perverse! Absolutely abnormal! The so-called 'if something is abnormal, it will be a demon', this is not a good sign! ”

I could see that the man was still a little apprehensive when he said these words. After seeing that my mood did not fluctuate much, I was greatly relieved.

Actually, I also think this is very strange, but I don't think of it as a so-called "sign". After listening to the man's reminder, I frowned and asked, "So, what kind of sign should this be, according to you?" ”

Hearing my question, the man became nervous again. "Don't blame me for speaking badly."

"No, I know you mean well." I immediately spoke out to comfort me.

"Usually, this kind of thing is a sign that someone in your family has something abnormal. And, it's that kind of ......, you know. Despite my comfort, he spoke very cautiously.

What the man didn't say, I naturally knew what it meant. He believes that the abnormal situation of dough that should have fermented but did not ferment is a rather bad "sign". According to what he meant, someone in my family will pass away in the near future. At that time, unlike now, there were almost no motor vehicles in the countryside. Therefore, the likelihood of a traffic accident should be unlikely. Then it should be a disease that is enough to endanger life. However, no one in my family has had any physical abnormalities recently! The two children are lively and healthy, and it is impossible to get any strange life-threatening diseases. My own body, of course, knows that it couldn't be better. Could it be a wife? Impossible, these days, my wife is preparing for the New Year, and it is absolutely full of energy. If there are elderly people in the family, then such an omen still has some truth. No, my father is still alive! Although he has been following his younger brother since the separation, he is his father after all, and he should be regarded as a member of the family. Could it be that this sign points to the Father? No way! When pigs fly! In the past two days, his old man has been busy slaughtering pigs for other families every day to make New Year's goods! If there is something wrong with the body, how can you still have the physical strength to help others kill pigs? Thinking of this, I replied confidently: "Impossible! Everyone in my family is in great health. Even if there is something wrong with the body, there should be something abnormal. I can assure you that none of our family has had any physical abnormalities these days! ”

"It's good if you don't have it! Could it be that I still hope that someone in your family has a problem? Actually, I'm just telling you the most likely signs, and don't blame me for being too talkative. The man was still a little afraid that I would be angry, so he defended himself again.

"No, no!" I'm very generous in replying.

This is just a small episode. Regardless of whether it is fermented or not, since the dough has been blended, it can only be used hard. After all, the living conditions at that time were not rich, and no one could bear to waste so many noodles. The steamed buns were ready, and there were a lot of noodles, so I made rolls without filling. It's just that this year, because the dough has not risen, my steamed buns are much smaller than others. Unsightly is actually secondary, and the main thing is that it is unpalatable. The steamed buns made from unleavened dough are solid, and they are almost as hard as iron in the mouth.

Looking at the ugly and unpalatable New Year's goods - steamed buns, it's strange that I can feel comfortable! I don't know if it's because of the unhappiness in my heart or because of the so-called bad "signs", but since then, I have always felt a little uneasy. Could it be that something evil is about to happen? After thinking about it, I always felt that it was more likely that something would happen to my elderly father. Although I didn't speak anymore, out of concern for the elderly, I still went to my father for nothing.

My father is still so vigorous, and judging from the vigor of his work, even if he is a strong young man, few people can match it. After observing everything in detail for two days, he did not notice any abnormalities in his father's body. Therefore, I was completely relieved. It seems that this so-called "sign" is nothing more than a trick to deceive!

At the end of the year, there are a lot of things to prepare. After only two days of desertion, I was already suffering from a strong complaint from my wife. So, then, I threw myself into the tedious New Year's preparations with peace of mind.

After a busy day, I finally returned with New Year's goods. As soon as I entered the village, I noticed that people looked at me strangely, and it gave me a very bad feeling. When I got closer to home, someone finally said to me: "So-and-so (the pronoun of my nickname), no, the fourth grandfather (my father is the fourth, and his seniority is very high, so at that time, no matter how high or low the seniority is, the people in the village collectively called my father 'the fourth grandfather'. In fact, many people want to call Mrs. Ancestor or something. Something happened! ”

Hearing this, I only felt a sudden "chuckle" in my heart, and then asked very nervously, "What's wrong?" What the hell is going on? ”

"The fourth grandfather helped others unload wood this morning, and when he was carrying a large log, he accidentally slipped under his feet......"

The man's words exploded like thunder in the depths of my mind. "What! This old man, who is so old, why does he still help others fight against wood? "I'm in such a hurry!" So now, my dad, how is he? I asked nervously.

"Flashed." The man also knew that I was in a hurry at the moment, so he replied succinctly and clearly.

After hearing this, my nervous mood immediately relaxed. After all, flashing your waist is not a big deal. The terrible situation I expected to be smashed and seriously injured did not materialize.

Seeing that my expression relaxed, the man seemed a little hesitant, but finally continued nervously: "However, after that, the fourth grandfather kept saying that the back pain was unbearable. So, so I went to the hospital for a check-up, and I haven't come back yet. After saying that, the man ran away without waiting for me to react
