Chapter 5: The Taoist Priest Enters the Village (1)
Although some people in the village said that the daughter of the Liu Dahe family was unlucky, it was only said secretly.
Liu Dahe is not bad in the village, after all, giving birth to a child is a happy event, many families in the village have given gifts, some give eggs, some send brown sugar, and some send other things to eat. Among them, the most conspicuous are three brightly colored materials, Liujia Village receives gifts, and the materials are very face-saving.
One of the three pieces of material is sent by the flower family in the village, the flower family lives diagonally opposite Liu Dahe's house, and often sends some small snacks to Ah Fu to eat, the people in the village are poor, and it is very good to be able to eat five points full for two meals a day.
The other two pieces of material were given by Liu Dahe's sister Liu Yunniang, Liu Yunniang married a family surnamed Wen in the town because of her good looks, and the Wen family has a shop that sells groceries in Phoenix Town, and I heard that the business is very good.
However, the Niu family doesn't like Liu Yunniang, probably because most beautiful women are naturally hostile to beautiful women.
Niu remembered that when she gave birth to her son Ah Fu, Liu Yunniang only gave a piece of material, and now she gave birth to a girl, Liu Yunniang actually sent two pieces of material, is it intentional to block her, don't think that marrying a rich family is great.
When Afu was born, Niu's mother's family also sent a piece of material, and this time she gave birth to a daughter, so she only sent some eggs. Niu looked at the daughter with a wrinkled face next to him, and felt that his mother's family was really in line with his heart, and he should have been treated like this when he gave birth to a daughter, or how could everyone say that girls were losing money.
Liujia Village likes to give children cheap names, so that they can be fed, what shit dog eggs and other names are very popular, Liu Afu's name almost became Liu Dog Egg at the beginning.
It is the right of the elders to name the child in the village, and the right to name the child should be held in the hands of Liu Dahe's father, Liu Quan, but the old Liu family and Liu Dahe are not in contact with each other now, Liu Dahe's old lady Xu took a close look at the whole family, and absolutely did not let the family touch Liu Dahe's broom star, so the name could only be taken by Liu Dahe himself.
Niu wanted to learn from others to give his son a cheap name to support him, but Liu Dahe resolutely opposed it. Liu Dahe had learned a few words with the owner in the woodworking shop in the town, and the birth of the first child made him feel very satisfied and happy, so he discussed with Niu: "Let's call Ah Fu, I hope he is blessed." "Liu Dahe still hasn't said half a sentence, don't be as miserable as his father and I lived when I was a child.
Although the old Liu family did not recognize Liu Dahe, Liu Dahe never forgot the old Liu family, and he always knew that he would not be able to survive without his father Liu Quan.
During the New Year's holidays, Liu Dahe will ask someone to send things to the old house, and when Ah Fu grows up, let Ah Fu send a festival gift to the past, Ah Fu is affected by his father, and every time he goes to the old house, he is treated coldly by his grandmother Xu.
Ah Fu has always been worried about his sister's name, and he often tilts his little head and asks his father: "Dad, what should we name my sister?" ”
Liu Dahe thought that the three elder brothers' families had a total of six daughters, so he touched Ah Fu's little head and said, "Among the cousins, your sister is ranked seventh, so is it okay to call Xiao Qi?" ”
There are already several dogs in the village, and there are a lot of peach blossoms and apricot blossoms, Xiaoqi's name is good, there is no one with the same name in the village, Ah Fu likes it very much, and the more he looks at his sister's little face, the more he likes it, his sister's little face is white and chubby, and it is not as red as when he was born, and sure enough, what Daddy said is right.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Xiaoqi has been three months old, but this child always cries every night, Niu is a little impatient with the noise, often secretly pinching the small body with his hands, once Ah Fu saw it, Ah Fu felt very sorry for his sister, so he said to Niu: "Mother, my sister is still so young, how can you pinch her?" No wonder my sister is always crying. ”
Niu: "It's her blessing that I pinched her, she can't come to this world without me, but you must not tell your father about this." Niu wished that he had never given birth to this daughter, and when he gave birth to this daughter, he almost gave her her life.
On this day, a young Taoist priest wearing a wide robe came to the village, who was quite handsome, with a bell on his white and delicate hands, and two pennies were counted as a hexagram.
I have to say that appearance is really important, the last time an older Taoist priest came to the village, the people in the village didn't care much. This time, it was replaced by a handsome young Taoist priest, and the enthusiasm of the women in the village was ignited, and they chatted non-stop around the handsome Shen Daochang.
"Shen Dao Chang Immortal Wind Dao Bone."
"Daoist Shen, can a Taoist priest marry?"
"Daoist Shen, help me calculate a hexagram for me."
……
Niu's arms held the white and chubby Liu Xiaoqi in his arms, and finally squeezed in: "Dao Chief, help my child take a look, this child cries all night and night, and it doesn't stop at all." ”
A woman was a little unhappy when she saw Niu's cutting in line, so she stopped Niu's: "Niu, why are you cutting in line, I'm ahead of you." ”
The Niu clan was used to being domineering, ignored the woman, took out a few coins from the money bag and handed them to Shen Daochang: "Dao Chief, help my Xiaoqi to see if there is anything wrong?" ”
Shen Daochang took the money and looked at Liu Xiaoqi in Niu's arms seriously, pinched his fingers and counted for a while, and then said to Niu: "When this child was born, it was the day of the Tiangu Eclipse. ”
The people on the side were all convinced by Shen Daochang.
"Daoist Shen is so accurate!"
"Daochang Shen is really a god, he actually calculated that Xiao Qi was born when the tengu was eating the sun."
……
Liu Xiaoqi, who was in Niu's arms, was looking at Shen Daochang with big watery eyes at the moment, and Shen Daochang touched his nose with a little panic in those eyes.
Niu asked Shen Daochang: "Daochang, is there a way to crack it?" ”
Shen Daochang touched a piece of peach wood from the blanket and handed it to Niu: "This peach talisman was opened by my grandfather, and it can be dissolved by seven or eight points for the child to carry." ”
"How much?"
Shen Daochang stretched out five fingers, and Niu handed over five more big coins gratefully, and thanked Shen Daochang again and again.
When he returned home, Niu immediately found a hemp rope, strung the mahogany card and hung it around his daughter's neck.
