Chapter 239: Return
Before the Chinese New Year, Jiangbian returned to Banshan Village. This year, the riverside still has to be guarded in the middle of the mountain village.
The custom here in the mid-mountain village is that after a person dies, it takes three years to stop eating. Before abstaining from eating, the juniors should make offerings.
In general, it is not necessary to make offerings every day, but there are some important festivals that must be worshipped. The Spring Festival is naturally one of the most important ones.
It is said that these deceased ancestors would return home for the holidays at these times.
Jiang Bian is an atheist, but when it comes to the Taoist turtle king, he would rather believe in it than in it. The turtle king has no descendants, only the son who was picked up by the river.
Since he was a child, Ebebe has made up his mind to let the turtle king live a better life than those who have sons. But before the riverside was gearing up, the turtle king was bitten to death by a snake. The son wants to be filial and his relatives are not there, which is a regret that Jiangbian can never make up. So Jiangbian wanted to fulfill several wishes of the turtle king after his death.
When he went to Qiantang by the river, he secretly made up his mind to transform the low house into the most luxurious western-style building in the middle of the mountain.
The figure by the river just appeared on the dock of Shanmen Town, and was immediately recognized by Jiang Fengshi in the middle of the mountain village on the boat.
"Isn't this the riverside? Riverside, why are you back? ”
The riverside was also prepared, and a few packs of good cigarettes were placed in his pocket. He doesn't smoke himself, but when he returns to the village and meets the people in the village, he always gives him cigarettes. There were even a few large bags of candy in the bag. lest when they arrived in the middle of the village, the children in the village saw it and didn't talk empty-handed.
"Fifth brother, are you here today?" Jiang Bian greeted as he handed over the cigarette. The riverside is called Jiang Fengshi's fifth brother.
"You're coming back for the New Year, right? There is still a month left for the Chinese New Year! You're back so early? Jiang Fengshi said.
"I don't have anything to do, so I'll just come back early." Jiangbian answered, and his eyes looked around.
The places on both sides of the Lulu River can be remembered even if you close your eyes on the riverside. But just after returning from Qiantang, the scenery and riverside that I haven't seen in half a year can always see some novelty.
"You're out of luck now. I used to know that you were different from the rest of the village. Sooner or later, it will come out. "Jiang Fengshi is like a prophet. In fact, he was willing to lend even half a liter of rice to the riverside.
"Abundant.
This young man is from your village? Pure and pure like a city person. "People in the neighboring villages don't know the riverside.
"Well, it's from our village. He's amazing. It's all on TV. "In Jiang Fengshi's mind, the people who are on TV are all very promising.
Li Changdong, the biggest capable person in the village, has never been on TV, not even on Shanmen Cable TV. The No. 1 Fujiang Tiger in Banshan Village is also worthy of watching TV, and he can't even keep a mother-in-law.
"The one who works in Qiantang?"
Some time ago, Jiangbian showed his face many times on TV, especially the reporters of the national television station went deep into the village to conduct interviews, which made Jiangbian famous in the entire Shanmen Town.
"Who else but him? A Qiantang won two championships in a row. One is the champion of Qiantang City, and the other is even more remarkable, the national champion. I have to go to the United States next year to participate in the competition. "Jiang Fengshi is very proud. There is a big celebrity such as the riverside in Banshan Village, which seems to have greatly improved the overall status of Banshan Village.
Jiangbian also casually said that Jiang Fengshi had already flown to the mid-mountain village.
He pinched one of the bottles in his back bag.
It was a bottle of national drink. When I went home by the river, I went to the big shopping mall to buy a bottle of national wine. This wine is expensive. Thousands of yuan, put in the past, Jiangbian could not earn so much in a few years. …,
Although the turtle king is no longer there, Jiangbian still thinks that the turtle king can come back and taste this wine. As soon as Ebebe returns home, he will go to the tomb of the turtle king to toast a glass of wine. Let the turtle king also have a good taste of this national wine.
"If you can taste a sip of national wine, this life will be worth it." This is a topic that the turtle king used to feel a lot about.
The most repeated words of the turtle king are naturally the marriage by the riverside.
"If your kid can marry a standard mother-in-law like Liu Huijun and come back, the old man will be able to close his eyes with peace of mind."
In the end, the turtle king was unable to close his eyes, and when he was dying, he watched the riverside with his eyes open. Jiang Bian wiped it with his hands several times, but he couldn't close those eyes. The custom of the village in the mid-levels is that it is not good for the deceased to be blind to death.
Jiangbian knew what kind of regret he had in the end, "Dad! In the future, I will definitely marry you such a beautiful mother-in-law as Liu Huijun, and I will give you a litter of grandchildren in the future. ”
When the turtle king heard Jiangbian's words, his eyes finally closed. There seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.
As soon as the boat docked, before the boat could stop, the river hurriedly jumped down and walked briskly home. Even Jiang Feng really shouted behind him, but he didn't care about it.
Jiang Fengshi originally wanted Jiangbian to come to his house for dinner, but Jiangbian had just returned home, and there was no one at home, so eating and sleeping were problems.
But the riverside didn't seem to hear it, and ran all the way.
It didn't take long for Jiangbian to run to his home.
The house is covered with thick stumps and leaves, and at a glance, it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.
In the countryside, the concentration of oxygen in the air is very high, and once the house is unoccupied, it is easy to oxidize and deteriorate very quickly.
The riverside hut was unlocked, and when I went out, I just hung the door.
As soon as I pushed the door open, a musty smell came to my nose.
Jiangbian hurriedly covered his nose. Fortunately, the adaptation of the riverside is still very strong. After standing in the room for a while, I slowly got used to it.
Find a worn-out broom behind the door, sweep the dust from the dust that has leaked through the cracks in the tiles into the stove, and set it on fire.
A red flame leaped out of the hearth, illuminating the room.
Jiangbian squatted in front of the stove, the flames illuminated Jiangbian's fair face red, and something crystal flickered in his eyes.
"Daddy, I'm back. I made money and came back and bought you a bottle of national wine. The best national drink. I'll fill you with a glass first, and you can taste it yourself. Jiangbian whispered.
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of national liquor, opened the cap, and a rich aroma of wine came to his nose.
"Daddy, this wine smells very strong. However, the taste of this wine is not as good as Liu Huijun's rice wine. ”
Jiangbian's hand trembled a little, and he poured the wine in his hand on the ground, which was immediately absorbed by the uneven yellow earth.
"Dad, if you like it, I'll bring more when I come back next time."
It didn't take long for everyone in the village to know that Jiangbian had returned to the village. In the evening, many people came to the house one after another.
To their surprise, Jiangbian cooked at home, not at all like he had just returned.
"I was worried that you had just come back and there was no rice or vegetables at home, so I wanted to ask you to come to my house for a while. Unexpectedly, you are very well prepared. Jiang Fengshi said.
"Nothing. When I was in Shanmen Village, I prepared some, although the things at home were put for so long, they were still usable, I picked up a load of water and came back, washed it, and it was clean. I haven't been home for so long, this house is in chaos, and if the old man comes back, I'm afraid he won't be able to get used to it. Kawabe said.
"I didn't expect you to believe this as a young man." Jiang Fengshi was a little surprised. This guy who is not afraid of heaven and earth is so religious. …,
The people in the village wanted to hear from Jiangbian about the things in the city, but Jiangbian just wanted to be alone and quiet. It was easy to send away the last villager in the village, and the packs of good cigarettes on the riverside were empty, and the packets of candy that he brought back were also scattered.
The original wooden bedding by the river is so moldy that it can't be used for sleeping. Fortunately, the riverside was not ready to sleep on this long-lost wooden bed.
At night, the riverside enters the space, and at this time, the space is still lush and green, and it seems that it is always spring.
The animals in the space guard their own territory.
Jiangbian didn't want to do anything today, and there was infinite emotion in his heart, "Why didn't you let me find out earlier?" If you had discovered the magic of fishing rods earlier, you wouldn't have had so many regrets. ”
Ash ran over with three of his men.
Even the tiger, who had always despised the riverside, was much more docile. Looking at the riverside, his eyes softened a lot.
A very strange phenomenon was found by the riverside.
Some of the fruits on the trees have been ripe for a long time. But every time I came in, the fruit was still ripe and didn't fall. Even after several months, there is still no sign of shedding. In reality, this is simply not possible.
Although Jiangbian is not highly educated, I have watched "Journey to the West" and remember some of the plots in it very clearly.
The fairy fruits in "Journey to the West" seem to be ripe and will never fall off.
In this way, there are hundreds of years of immortal products such as peaches.
Is the fruit in this space in the space, absorbing some aura, and has it also become a fairy fruit or something?
It's just that I don't know if I can live forever like in Journey to the West after eating the immortal fruit in this space.
There were more creatures in the space, but Jiangbian never had the heart to organize them, and everything was scattered in various parts of the space.
The plain where the tiger is located grows some strange plants, which are not known by the riverside.
In fact, if you pick up the strange plants by the river, you can find that the soil is full of insects.
Yes, this is Cordyceps, which is said to be difficult to artificially cultivate with the current level of technology, and it is easy to multiply in the space by the river.
This gold is still valuable, and for Jiangbian, it is at his fingertips.
In the morning, when the riverside came out of the space, I heard the gate pounding.
"Uncle Man! Uncle Man! "It's Jiang Fengshi's baby's birthday
"Birthday, what are you doing?" Jiangbian hurriedly responded.
"My dad wants you to go to my house for breakfast!" Jiang Qingsheng said. Clear
