Chapter 21: Paper Symbols
"If he doesn't behave, I'll spank his little ass..."Zhang Longfei bit a big bite of the steamed bun vigorously and said vaguely.
"Alright, don't make all this useless. Just think about what to do tonight, right? I'm going crazy with him. As she spoke, Lin Miaoxiang couldn't help but open her mouth wide and yawned heavily.
"How do I know what to do? None of his sisters had ever made such a fuss as he did. Zhang Longfei swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth vigorously.
"My sister came this morning. She said that Xiao Hun would not be frightened. Lin Miaoxiang suddenly remembered what Lin Miaofeng said in the morning.
"Why is she here again? How did she know that Xiao Hun was scared? Hearing Lin Miaofeng's name, Zhang Longfei felt very uncomfortable.
"If he hadn't been scared, Xiao Hun's child would have been too abnormal. The doctor also said that he was in good health and could eat and sleep. Why don't you go to the village entrance and post a piece of paper later? Lin Miaoxiang suggested.
"Okay then." Zhang Longfei hesitated for a moment before nodding his head and agreeing.
Zhang Longfei turned around and walked back to the courtyard, drank a few sips of porridge indiscriminately, and then walked straight into the hall and started to get busy. He took out his beloved Taicang brush from a drawer. This pen is made of wool mixed with bristles and ponytails, soft and hard evenly, sharp and charming.
Zhang Longfei gently stroked the fetal hair of the brush with his hand. He remembered that this Taicang brush was bought when he was a sophomore in Nan'an No. 1 Middle School, which cost him half a month's living expenses. For this matter, he was complained by Wei Chunhua a lot. But Zhang Longfei didn't care, and regarded this brush as a treasure and kept it carefully. It's just that there aren't many places where this brush can really come in handy, and most of the time it's just to write some couplets during the Spring Festival every year.
Zhang Longfei found the red paper that was not used up to write Spring Festival couplets during the Chinese New Year. He found scissors, and with a few clicks, he cut out a square square of red paper. Zhang Longfei looked at the red paper, and as soon as his heart moved, he waved the scissors again, and cut out the appearance of two big roosters on the top of the red paper with three times and five divisions.
Zhang Xiaohun's zodiac is a rooster, and Zhang Longfei also thought that it would be good if Zhang Xiaohun could sleep until the rooster crows and then wake up. Zhang Longfei took the red paper in his hand, looked it up and down, and felt very satisfied.
Zhang Longfei carefully spread the red paper on the table, took out the paperweight and pressed it gently. This pair of paperweights was accidentally discovered by Zhang Longfei when he was playing by the river when he was a child. At that time, he thought that these two small stones had a strange shape, a bit like a cat, and a bit like a dog. At that time, Zhang Longfei didn't have toys, so he regarded these two small stones as toys at that time and couldn't put them down. When Zhang Longfei grew up, he was still reluctant to throw them away, so he used them as paperweights.
Zhang Longfei gently dipped in some ink, wiped the tip of the pen, felt very good, then exhaled deeply and began to put down the pen. Zhang Longfei held his breath, the pen followed his hand, and his hand walked with his heart. After a while, a few lines of beautiful horizontal and vertical, well-structured Zhao Ti Kaishu were presented on the red paper.
"The Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of the Earth.
I have a night cryer at home.
The gentleman of the past reads it again,
I slept until dawn. ”
There is an intersection at the entrance of the village in Zhangjiakeng. To the north is to Liulang Mountain, to the south is to Chuanghe Wharf, to the west is the road to Liuzhuang and Huaxi County, and to the east is to Nan'an County.
There are several telephone poles erected at the intersection, which are plastered with small colorful advertisements. Zhang Longfei looked around, and then chose one of the more conspicuous telephone poles and pasted the red paper in his hand.
After pasting the red paper, Zhang Longfei took two steps back, and saw that the red paper was a little crooked, so he took it off and pasted it again. Zhang Longfei clapped his hands, thinking to himself if Zhang Xiaohun would cry at night tonight.
"Daddy, Daddy." Zhang Longfei was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Zhang Xichun shouting behind him. He hurriedly looked back, and it turned out that Zhang Yuanchun had returned from Li Ran's house with a few younger sisters.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Xiao Xichun jumped over and threw herself into Zhang Longfei's arms.
Zhang Longfei hugged Zhang Xichun and was about to talk to her. At this time, my sister Zhang Yuanchun suddenly noticed the red paper on the telephone pole.
"The Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of the Earth.
I have a night cryer at home.
The gentleman of the past reads it again,
I slept until dawn. ”
Zhang Yuanchun read it aloud and immediately laughed happily. "Dad, you posted it, right? Why are you posting this? ”
Zhang Longfei took out a hand and touched Zhang Yuanchun's head, and said with a smile: "This, you can go home and ask your grandmother." ”
"Big, big." At this time, Zhang Xichun noticed the big rooster on the red paper, and immediately shouted happily.
Zhang Tanchun also noticed the graphics of the two big roosters, and thought that the two big roosters were very beautiful, so she shouted that she also wanted the paper cuts of the big roosters.
was yelled at by the two children, Zhang Longfei's heart couldn't help but start to get irritable. He didn't bother to talk to Zhang Tanchun, so he stretched out his hand and put his arm around Zhang Tanchun's shoulder, and walked home without looking back.
Zhang Yingchun walked at the back as usual. She took a few steps, but suddenly stopped, and stared back at the red paper on the telephone pole, dazed.
Back home, Zhang Yuanchun took a few younger sisters to have a hurried dinner, then washed up and went to bed one after another. Originally, Zhang Yuanchun's sleep was often interrupted by the crying of his younger brother Zhang Xiaohun in the past few days, and this afternoon he played crazy at Li Ran's house all afternoon, and he was so tired that his back and legs hurt. Not long after the children climbed into bed, they fell asleep.
Zhang Longfei also took a simple shower and went to bed. Lin Miaoxiang washed Zhang Xiaohun fragrantly, put it next to Zhang Longfei and let him take a good look, and then he went to take a bath with confidence.
Zhang Longfei raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiaohun lying beside him. Zhang Xiaohun was fleshy all over his body, wearing only a pair of small white underwear. From time to time, he waved his little hands, and his chubby arms were white and tender like freshly unearthed lotus roots. From time to time, two little feet stood up and banged on the bed. It's not as quiet as Zhang Xichun, who is already asleep lying on the side.
Zhang Longfei looked at Zhang Xiaohun with a self-satisfied appearance, and an inexplicable thought suddenly popped up in his heart. He suddenly imagined what it would be like if he grabbed Zhang Xiaohun's neck. Zhang Longfei thought in his heart, but his right hand involuntarily touched Zhang Xiaohun's neck.
Zhang Xiaohun seemed to think that Zhang Longfei was going to tease himself, so he tilted his head sharply and grinned at Zhang Longfei with a smile. When Zhang Longfei saw it, he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly retracted his hand.
At this time, Lin Miaoxiang just finished taking a shower and walked in. While rubbing her wet hair with a towel, she squinted at Zhang Longfei who was lying on the bed with his back facing the sky.
"Husband, do you think the piece of paper you pasted will have a starting point?"
"I don't know if it works, I just know that if this kid tosses again tonight, I think I'm going to go crazy." Zhang Longfei said casually. He thought about what he had just thought, but he still felt afraid.
"I don't care if you're crazy or not, but before you go crazy, you have to accompany this palace well." As she spoke, Lin Miaoxiang smiled and sat down beside Zhang Longfei with a spring on her face.
Just after twelve o'clock, Zhang Xiaohun's cry broke out from Zhang Longfei's house again.
Lin Miaoxiang, who was asleep, was suddenly awakened. She hurriedly turned over, hugged Zhang Xiaohun who was crying in a daze, and cared for it softly.
Zhang Longfei turned over in annoyance, trying hard not to listen to Zhang Xiaohun's cry. It's just that Zhang Xiaohun's cry was higher and higher, like a thorn in Zhang Longfei's ears, playing with his nerves from time to time.
At this time, Zhang Xichun, who was sleeping at the head of the bed, was also woken up by Zhang Xiaohun's crying. She scrambled to her feet and sat down, looked around, and then cried "wow".
Seeing that the sister and brother came to cry for a night "duet", Zhang Longfei couldn't hold it anymore. He reluctantly rolled over, reached out and hugged Zhang Xichun in his arms, and whispered comfort.
I don't know how long it took to come, Zhang Xiaohun finally stopped crying slowly. Maybe he was tired of crying, or maybe he was crying to the fullest, and the little one fell asleep after a while.
After Zhang Xiaohun tossed like this, Zhang Longfei couldn't sleep anymore. Although he was sleepy and exhausted, he closed his eyes and was completely sleepy. It wasn't until the sky was light that Zhang Longfei was half-asleep and confused for a while.
After getting up in the morning, Zhang Longfei grabbed a few mouthfuls of breakfast and rode his bicycle to work in a daze.
The scenery on Mt. Rokuro in the early morning is still the same. It may be because of the rain just two days ago, and the fog in the mountains is very heavy, and from time to time there will be a burst of fog, and you can't distinguish your fingers.
Zhang Longfei pushed the old bicycle and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain. He raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that there was a white mist all around, silently, and a trace of loss surged in his heart.
And what about the black cat?
In the past 20 days, Zhang Longfei would meet the black cat in Liulang Mountain every day. At first, Zhang Longfei felt that he was very unlucky to meet the black cat halfway, and he was worried all day long, but after a long time, Zhang Longfei actually had some expectations for the strange black cat in his heart.
Zhang Longfei also felt that his thoughts were very strange. But what made him even more strange was that he still hadn't seen the shadow of the black cat until now. Zhang Longfei stood on the top of the mountain for a while, but still didn't see the shadow of the black cat.
Zhang Longfei saw that there was silence all around, and the green eyes of the black cat appeared coldly in his mind. His heart sank, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Zhang Longfei hurriedly stepped on the bicycle and stepped on the pedals. The old bicycle creaked down the mountain road and rushed to the bottom of the mountain.
After Lin Miaoxiang got up and had breakfast with Zhang Longfei, she went back to the house to make up for her sleep, and then she felt much better.
Zhang Xiaohun is still asleep. There was no sign of last night's unscrupulousness on the quiet little face, and the red little mouth grinned from time to time, as if he had dreamed of something that made him happy.
Lin Miaoxiang looked at her sleeping son, thinking about the almost collapse last night, and couldn't help but feel a trace of irritability in her heart. She rolled out of bed, pulled her hair in her hand, and walked out of the house.
