PS: [Thank you'~ξ��溊 with the ζ©Ό ^^! ] ''A line of sky'' and 'Manchen Township' are greatly generously rewarded, xiexie!! 】

The way home was very smooth, except that the plane was delayed for four hours, and as a result, Fang Shi had to rush to the night to get home, Zuihou that taxi driver was stunned and did not dare to get off the big road, Fang Shi Zuihou could only walk back by himself for two kilometers, and the collapse of people's hearts can be seen.

Fortunately, Fang Shi's physical strength has been greatly improved, even if he trotted all the way with his shoulder on his shoulder, he easily returned to the familiar home, the familiar yard, the familiar old house, and the familiar taste and the familiar figure of his mother.

"Mom, I'll be back."

"Stones, it's stones, why don't you come back at this time to scatter, the road is not good and wait for tomorrow."

"Hehe, I can't wait."

"You kid."

Fang's mother looked at her eldest son carefully, stretched out her rough hand to hold her son's hand, and tears couldn't help but bubble out.

"Mom, why are you crying, if you want me to go to Pengcheng with me to enjoy happiness, you have to guard these two acres of land."

"Mom is old and doesn't go anywhere, so she wants to stay in the countryside and have someone to talk to."

"Then you don't want to hold your grandson?"

Fang Shi regretted it as soon as he said this, but if his mother was willing to go to Pengcheng for this, Fang Shi would also admit it, so it was a big deal to find one quickly.

"I want to, I think in my dreams, you're a virgin, where is the girl?" Mom stuck her head out to look back, and of course, there was nothing but the dim night.

"I mean the future."

"In the future? When you get married and have children, I'll go. ”

"Okay, you can't play tricks then!"

Fang's mother smiled. The wrinkles on his face were all stretched. Why is his son so caring?

"Hungry, stone."

"Not hungry. Mom, don't be busy, put away these gifts, they are all given to you by those friends in Pengcheng. ”

Fang's mother was a little unconvinced, pulled her son to sit on the stool, and watched Fang Shi put things on the table one by one: "Didn't you buy it with random money?" ”

"It's not that you don't know your son, I'm going to spend money indiscriminately, my money is here." As he spoke, Fang Shi took out two wads of bills. put it in front of my mother: "These are really sent by friends, I heard that I returned to my hometown, and everyone was not left behind." ”

Mother Fang looked at these things in front of her, smiled with satisfaction and said, "This is all a favor, and I want to pay it back." ”

"Mom, you're mistaken, this is someone exchanging favors for your son, and courtesies are still exchanged."

"My son is out, out of breath, if your dad is still here. How happy! ”

"Hehe, he's happy. Now I'll just care about you. ”

Fang's mother ignored Fang Shi's stopping, and went to cook a bowl of mash eggs for Fang Shi, watching Fang Shi eat happily, Fang's mother squinted with a smile.

The mother and son had endless words, and Fang Shi kept asking about the situation in the village, as well as his mother's physical condition, and whether he had worn the talisman he had worked so hard to get. Fang's mother wants to know if her son is happy in the distance, whether he will be too tired from work, and whether he has a girlfriend.

"Stone, if it's really not good, let's find one at home, they all say that girls in big cities have high vision, let's not ask for that, just ask for a down-to-earth life."

Speaking of which, Fang's mother is still very eager to hold her grandson as soon as possible.

"Mom, you can think clearly, whether you are looking for it at home or in Pengcheng, it costs money, I have been focusing on my brother's studies in the past few years, where is the money to go to friends, and when Xiaolei graduates, it will not be too late for me to find it, you can rest assured, the grandson must be hugged, or let's have two more?"

"Go, I will coax your mother to be happy, Jihua gives birth!" Fang's mother smiled softly.

"It's just a matter of spending some money, your son has decided to find you a rich daughter-in-law in the future, hehe."

"Jing nonsense, it's night, go to bed quickly, you don't take a bath, I'll boil water for you."

"No, just cold water!"

"How can I do that, I don't catch a cold anymore?"

"It's really okay to use cold water, you don't understand, this is called health, I have always used cold water, you see your son's physique, how strong, you can rest assured."

Fang's mother had no choice but to pack up her things, Fang Shi went to take a bath by herself, the temperature was minus three degrees, Fang Shi really used cold water, he had some results in practicing qi now, and he was really not afraid of cold water.

Although he slept late, but the next morning, Fang Shi still got up on time before six o'clock, in fact, he couldn't afford to sleep, there were too many roosters in the village.

Ran around the road in the village, by the way to see the changes in the village, the people in the village saw Fang Shi, they were very happy to say hello, and when the body was hot, they returned to their yard, and practiced the tiger and crane double form, Fang's mother came out of the kitchen and looked at her son, who was very happy.

"Mom, what's for breakfast?"

"Noodles."

"Oh, I'm going to be spicy."

"There's kimchi!"

"Mom, I saw a lot of incense under the locust tree at the end of the village, what's going on?"

"Oh, it's a tree god!"

"Dryads? Why didn't you last year, but this year a tree god popped up again! ”

"Amitabha, don't dare to talk nonsense, it's terrible to offend the gods and Buddhas, the tree god is very spiritual."

Fang Shi helped his mother bring the noodles and kimchi plates to the table in the yard, but her mother was not in a hurry to eat, she went to feed the chickens in the chicken coop in the backyard first, and then came back to eat, and the noodles were a little mushy.

Actually, Fang's mother doesn't like to eat noodles, but she knows that her son likes to eat them.

The two were eating happily, and from time to time there were sporadic firecrackers, which were all those bear children frying cow dung or something, but now there seemed to be no cow dung.

The people who passed by outside the courtyard also greeted Fang Shi when they saw it, and Fang's mother responded happily one by one.

Fang Shi was very interested in the tree god, and asked after him, Fang's mother still had to go to water the vegetable field, and Fang Shi also followed, and the living Fang Shi who carried water was very suitable.

Fang's mother can't take care of many fields by herself, and she doesn't grow food, and now she has no money to earn by growing food, but fortunately, it is not far from the city, as long as the vegetables are planted well, the income is still good.

Two acres of vegetable land are not good fields. His own land was rented to someone else. Fang's mother kept two acres of land on the hillside for herself. Deduct a simple greenhouse, you can earn a little is a little.

In fact, there is a water pump in the greenhouse, and a drip irrigation system is also installed, but the fertilizer still has to be picked by hand, and Fang's mother does not use chemical fertilizer, which damages the land, and the vegetables grown are not delicious.

After changing into old clothes, Fang Shi and Fang's mother picked up the fertilizer water taken out of the biogas digester and walked towards the vegetable field. Fang's mother just talked about the tree god.

It turns out that this thing is still very legendary, in the summer evening, many children like to enjoy the shade under the locust tree, some old people will also chat there, one day there was an accident, two children fell asleep under the tree, no matter how they woke up.

At that time, the people in the village were frightened, and the doctor in the town was invited, and the child was not awake for a long time, and then I don't know who said it. This big locust tree is probably hundreds of years old, maybe it has become a fine. Hurt the child.

So, someone suggested doing a ritual, who knew that the Taoist priest of the Songfeng Temple on the mountain was invited to do the ritual, and the child really woke up, and when he asked, the two children said that there was a white-bearded old man who invited them to the house as a guest.

After this incident, the incense under the fifteenth locust tree of the first month continued, and later some people said that it would smoke the tree god, so everyone scraped together some money, built a small sacrificial temple on the side, in case the incense was fumigated, and the children were forbidden to climb the tree, originally there were many people tied prayer flags on the tree, but later they were all brought down, and now the original ecology is popular, and even the tree god is also interested in this.

"Mom, you also paid for the temple?"

"Ahh It's out! ”

"Everyone in the village believes it?"

"Of course! Don't talk nonsense, beware of attracting hatred! ”

Fang's mother seemed to have thought of something, and glanced at her son threateningly and warned.

"I'm not that stupid." Fang Shi said with a smile as he watered the green leeks.

This thing is actually very strange, with the ability of the ashlar, it can naturally be seen that the tree is actually an ordinary tree, because of the years, a little accumulated breath, but it is not a sacred tree, and even the ritual is a little unqualified, if the ashlar goes to arrange a feng shui bureau for this tree, or ten or eight years later, it will be a little different.

But now, this tree is certainly not a sacred tree.

Since it's not a sacred tree, then this thing is weird, is it just a coincidence, or did someone design this game? If it's a bureau, then what is the purpose of this person? Will it have any unpleasant impact on the people in the village?

Once he was suspicious of this matter, Fang Shi couldn't ignore it, if someone was really calculating the people in the village, Fang Shi would definitely not be able to ignore it.

Today is the twenty-eighth year of the year, Fang's mother began to make braised pork and noodles for New Year's sacrifices in the afternoon, Fang Shi posted couplets at the door, hung red lanterns under the eaves, cleaned the yard clean, took a few photos and posted them in his circle of friends, after a while, Jiang Dazhi, Xie Yan and Xia Yuyao all commented, this era is a closely connected era, but the strange thing is that it is an era full of wariness and alienation from each other.

The young people who went out to work in other places should come back basically back, looking at those familiar and unfamiliar faces, Fang Shi greeted everyone warmly, asked each other about making a living in the field, and there were also Pengcheng, but everyone rarely met, each busy, now I know that in fact, the place where everyone lives is not far away, Fang Shi quickly remembered everyone's contact information, the villagers, there is something to help is also haode.

The New Year's atmosphere in the village has completely exploded today, each family has changed to a new couplet, hung up the red lanterns of the New Year, and the firecrackers have also come from time to time with a roar, especially under the big locust tree, the cigarette smoke is surrounded by human figures, and the square stone has slipped here, looking at the lively scene, I also think it is very interesting, what do people ask for here? Do you pray that the tree god will not come and make trouble? Anyway, the god of the tree will definitely not ensure that they will be rich.

"Third grandfather, you smoke!"

Fang Shi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, he didn't smoke it himself, but the old people in the village smoked it, the third grandfather took the cigarette, and Fang Shi lit it for him.

"When did Shi Wazi come back?"

"Last night, the plane was late, and I didn't get home until midnight."

"Shi Wazi is a filial baby, and he rushes home in the middle of the night."

The third grandfather laughed with wrinkles on his face, his speech was a little leaky, and he spoke a thick dialect, which I am afraid that people who are not from the same village may not be able to understand it.

"I'm ashamed that I didn't take good care of my mother on weekdays."

"To know filial piety is to be a good child."

Fang Shi nodded and pointed to the people under the big locust tree: "Third grandfather, do you know what's going on?" ”

The third grandfather snorted and twisted his head disdainfully: "Superstition!" ”

Fang Shi was stunned, and then he had an urge to daxiao! The eldest third grandfather in the village said that this was superstition, but those people in the prime of life were burning incense and kowtowing! (To be continued......)
