Chapter 31: Pretending to be a ghost

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Wang Xinghai dug out the potatoes that had been placed in the ashes of the stove in the afternoon from under the root of the stove, and filled a big bowl. The potatoes that are roasted are tender on the inside and charred on the outside, and the ashes on the outside can be cleaned up by a slight beating. The father and son sat around the lonely table of the Eight Immortals at night and ate supper, the glass of rice wine was full, and the peeled potatoes emitted a crystal clear light, curling hot under the scorching tungsten lamp. Dip it in the chili noodles and take a full bite, which is soft and glutinous and smooth, and the mouth is full of fragrance.

"Kid, your mom is a bit of an anomaly today. I guess I ate Shen Bing's vinegar."

"I've seen it!"

"Have you already decided that you want to live with Shen Bing?"

"Yes."

"That's actually what your mother meant, she's embarrassed to ask, so she sent me to ask you."

"My mother too, what's embarrassing, I'm her son, of course I have to respect her, in fact, I want to talk to you about dinner today, the main thing is to ask my mother's opinion, I didn't expect to break up unhappily."

"Child, you have to understand your mother too!"

"Of course I understand"

"I know best what your mom thinks! The eldest child is not responsible for her mother, which is her biggest concern. ”

"I know all this, I'm afraid that I can't do it well and I'm afraid that you will have ideas, so I hope you give me ideas."

"I don't care, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you just need to think about it yourself."

"What do you think of Shen Bing? Father! ”

"As long as you can be well, I'll be satisfied."

"I'm asking what you think of her?"

"Good! This girl is still very polite, and she deserves to come out of a big family. ”

"What do you think?"

"Whatever is good or bad, as long as it is appropriate. That's what happens in this life, everyone can live together if they can get by. If you are careful, you will never be satisfied, and if you see anything, it will not matter. ”

"I just think she's okay in essence, although she has a bit of a temper, but she's kind at heart."

"You can do it as you like. There is only one concept for me to be a father, that is, men should get married, women should get married, and you are not too young, if you don't hurry up at this age of talking about marriage, you will have to wait for others to pick you in the future. ”

"I think it's a bit early to get married at this age."

"Tell me the truth, kid. I think Shen Bing's family situation should not be bad, our family can find such a good family with such conditions, it is already burning high incense, don't be too arrogant, it's almost enough. You see, the one who is your age is not a child! ”

"That's them, each with his own pursuits, each with his own life. I can't replace them, and they can't replace me. I can't say what others do, I will follow what I do, sometimes people still have to listen to their own true inner voice. ”

"You don't talk to me about these useless things. I don't need to tell you the reason why you can't miss the time and don't come again! You are a person with knowledge and culture, and after this village, there will be no such shop. In the future, even if you wear a lantern, you may not be able to find such a good family. ”

"I'm marrying a daughter-in-law, not going to eat soft rice."

That being said, why do you deliberately avoid good fortune when it befalls you! Of course, we can't eat soft rice, but as long as we sit up straight and don't go to be abducted, what's so shy! Excessive modesty is actually pride in disguise, unreal! You haven't gone through the hard life we have lived, if you do, you will know the truth that those who know the times are handsome. ”

"Alright, Dad! My ears are calloused, so don't say any more, I understand what you say. ”

"You kid, I'm doing this for your good! If you miss it, you may not be able to find it even with the lantern. ”

"I said, Dad! I'm just asking what you think of her, why are you telling me all this bunch of irrelevant things! I didn't say leave her! Are you overreacting?"

"Ahem...... Cough...... What are you waiting for if you don't sleep with a thousand cuts, if you don't sleep, I'll sleep! You have to take care of everything, and you can't control anything. Wasted in the middle of nowhere. Ni Fengxia made a strange voice in the back room.

"Good...... Let's go and rest! We'll talk about it tomorrow! Wang Xinghai choked his voice and said to Wang En.

"Dad, you should rest early! Mom is tired all day, let's not make a noise until she rests."

……

Mr. Shao in the village is the master of ceremonies and Taoist priest of the wedding and funeral, and he is the officiant of every family's wedding. He has become a key figure in the meeting of ten miles and eight towns, and every word he says and every action he makes will become a good story that will be sung and circulated for a long time.

Mr. Shao calculated the birth dates of Wang En and Shen Bing brought by Wang Xinghai against the Yin and Yang Feng Shui books that had been turned over.

"It's not very smooth, the woman is a dragon, the man is a rabbit, one of the eight characters of the birthday is with fire, the other is with water, and the woman is a man."

"How about that! Mr. Shao, you have to find a way to solve it."

"It's not hard to solve, you need to buy three chickens, two sheep, and a dog. It is only when I fuse their birthdays with luck that we can solve this problem. But there is one thing, you can't take these items with you, and I'll have to eat and drink them all to be effective. ”

"That's natural, as long as you can solve their luck, these must be filial to your old man."

"Don't think I'm coveting these things from you, I helped you digest these things because of my mana"

"I know that your bodhisattva heart is obvious to all."

"Then you go and prepare, and tomorrow I will come to your house to set up an altar."

"Mr. Shao, can you delay for a few days. My daughter-in-law, who has never been through the door, is from the city, and she is afraid that she will be afraid to see these customs in our countryside. She will go back in a few days, and when she goes back, I will come and ask your old man to come over and cast a spell, you can see it! ”

"What's wrong with the people in the city! The people in the city asked me to show them the eight-character feng shui, and they still had to queue up! I see that they all live in a tun, and I will solve this marriage with your family first. ”

"I know that of course your old man is famous, and I just want to cover up their crimes. Naturally, I can't let them know about this, not even my family. I feel that the two children are quite fateful, and I don't want them to know that they are burdened with their hearts. ”

"You're a very cautious person. It's reasonable to hear you say this, you can rest assured, I won't let others know about this except for you and me, I won't let others know, this is also our Taoist rules, and the heavenly machine is naturally not allowed to be revealed. But it's better sooner rather than later, and you'd better hurry. ”

"Thank you so much! I'll go back and prepare, and after I've taken away the daughter-in-law who didn't pass through the door in the next few days, I'll ask you to set up an altar and cast spells to solve their problems. ”

"I'm recuperating now, you can go back first!"

Wang Xinghai bowed and bowed out of Mr. Shao's smoky hall, mixed with joy and sorrow along the way, sad and dissatisfied with the results of the two children's mistakes calculated by Mr. Shao, and happy with his own prudence, which could unconsciously resolve the problem invisibly.
