Chapter 179: What to Ask for in Life
After 20 years of ups and downs, my little sister and I have come over with each other. Seeing that the baby is also going to marry a wife, my little sister and I, who are old people, are also full of joy. I saw the girl of the other party's family, my little sister and I liked it very much, the girl was not only filial to her parents, but also knowledgeable, and her appearance was not to say, it is said that she is a famous beauty embryo in ten miles and eight towns.
But to say that it is also a godsend, my baby is also handsome and extraordinary, and there are also a few in ten miles and eight towns, plus the family business I have purchased for my family over the years, more than ten acres of fertile land, plus a little medicinal material business, the family is quite solid. The children of both sides are willing to do so, and the parents of both sides are also full of approval, so we chose an auspicious day for the two children to get married under the matchmaker's matchmaking.
On the day of the baby's wedding, my little sister and I both sighed, after so many years of ups and downs, we are finally looking forward to the growth of our children, and the relationship between our husband and wife is getting stronger and stronger.
At night, my little sister and I sat on the stone bench in the courtyard to admire the moon, and my little sister still snuggled on my shoulder as before, looking at the bright moon in the void. After a long time, the little sister said softly: "Child, father, you said that our life is so good, we haven't had enough, in case one day the two of us leave one in advance, then ......"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
I glared at my little sister angrily, and then said: "The two of us are only forty or fifty years old, and the family is healthy, and we are all designated to live a long life, and the days to come will be long!" Besides, even if the two of us have to go one first in the future, it will be me who walks in front of you, and if you go first and leave me alone in the world, then how uncomfortable should I be? ”
Hearing my words, the little sister didn't answer for a long time, however, when I gently touched her cheek, it touched a crystal teardrop. The little sister cried, and then smiled again: "The child is his father, why don't we go together then, and wait for us to continue to be husband and wife in the next life, okay?" Looking at the little sister's affectionate and persistent eyes, my heart seemed to be melted, at this moment, the tip of my nose was also inexplicably sour, and there were no words to express my feelings at this moment, so I had to nod heavily in response to her.
The wife is virtuous, the children are filial, the small days are getting better and better, my eyes are slightly moist and I smile, such a life, what more can a husband ask for? Yes, what do you want in life, and if there is an afterlife, how good would it be? I reached out and grabbed my little sister's hand, put her hand in the palm of my hand, and held it like this, hoping that this moment would be eternal. The night is very quiet and very strong, just like our feelings, just like our family affection, so difficult to dissolve......
After more than 20 years, when the children and grandchildren were full, the bodies and bones of my little sister and I gradually failed. My little sister's body has become thin, and my body has become rickety, old. When I heard that my son and several eldest grandsons were going to celebrate my 70th birthday, I realized that today was the last day of my 69th birthday! As the saying goes, men are over nine, women are over ten, that is to say, men have a birthday, to come every nine, nine is the number of extreme yang, representing men, and ten is full, yin, representing women. A man who is 59 years old is 60 years old, and 69 years old is 70 years old. And a woman's longevity is an integer.
Therefore, tonight is the day to celebrate my birthday, but my little sister has been lying on the hospital bed for the past few days, and has been using decoction to extend her life, where am I still in the mood to celebrate my birthday......
But the hearts of my children and grandchildren don't want to block back, so, when I heard the news, I was on crutches, trembling into the little sister's ward, and saw the little sister with a sallow face, lying quietly on the bed, I came to the edge of the bed with a wry smile, gasping for breath with difficulty, and said: "Little sister, the children and grandchildren want to celebrate my birthday tonight, 70th birthday!" But without your company, I have a good life...... It's hard to get by......"
Hearing my words, Xiaomei slowly opened her hazy sleepy eyes, at this time, her hair was gray, and the wrinkles on her face were wrinkled. The little sister is the same as when she was young, and she still smiles: "Old man, don't worry, tonight I will let the dolls support me and go to the hall to drink your birthday wine...... How many 70 years do you have in your life...... It's not just one, so old man, you have to live your seventieth birthday, let's have a good ......."
"Huh!" I listened to my little sister's warm words, and my eyes moistened again, maybe I was old, really old, and I looked sad at every turn. People, they are afraid of losing those beautiful things, and the older they get, the more they are afraid of losing. I helped my little sister tuck the futon and said, "Little sister, if you can celebrate my birthday, I will celebrate this birthday, and after this seventieth birthday, we are people in the old age, do you remember the vow of the two of us?" We're going to grow old together......"
"Alas, I'm already old when I talk now......"
The little sister's old voice was getting thicker and thicker, and then she said: "Old man, my body is not as good as day by day, maybe I can't wait for you to take the first step, I, maybe I'll go first...... When the time comes, what will you do when you are alone? Looking at the little sister's eyes, the muddy old eyes, and the tears in the corners of the eyes, I pursed my mouth, blew my beard, and reprimanded with heavy words: "Don't talk nonsense!" If you are gone, I will not live! I said, I must get ahead of you! ”
At the birthday banquet, the hall was full of children and grandchildren, and the little sister also sat beside me with the support of the eldest grandchildren. The family happily celebrated my birthday, and I was deeply moved in my heart, and I was happy for a while, and I was happy with my children and grandchildren. But after three rounds of drinking, I suddenly found that my arm did not obey the call, and trembled violently, not only that, but my chest was as if it was pressed hard by one breath, but I couldn't lift it.
My children and grandchildren may have seen me sitting motionless in my chair and behaving unusually, and hurriedly came up to inquire. I was holding my breath hard at the moment, trying to exhale the stuffy breath in my chest, if I didn't exhale out, the outside breath would not be able to come in, and I would definitely be suffocated to death. However, despite all my strength, I could not exhale the stuffy breath in my chest, and finally, my eyes were dark, and I fell heavily on the wine table.
Although this body is no longer under my command, the cries of my children, grandchildren and little sister echo in my ears endlessly. Gradually, I felt my body getting lighter and lighter, and I actually got up from the ground, and when I suddenly turned my head and saw that my body was still lying on the wine table, I understood...... I must be dead......
Looking at my little sister's expression of crying bitterly, and hearing the heart-rending shouts of my children and grandchildren, my eyes were hot again, and tears couldn't help flowing out. But soon, I was crying and laughing, and said to myself: "Little sister, I didn't expect it, in the end I walked in front of you, but, but I am still very reluctant to you, you are afraid that you will leave first and I will have no one to take care of, but if I leave, who will take care of you?" I know that my children and grandchildren will be filial to you, but no matter how well they take care of you, they are not as good as I am! ”
At this moment, I have mixed feelings in my heart, I want to go back and wake up, but I can't float down anyway, let alone get into my body anymore. Just when the children and grandchildren lifted me up, I was suddenly stunned, I didn't care about looking at them just now, how could I see the appearance of my children and grandchildren at this moment...... Younger sister...... At this moment, my mind was blank at first, and then a huge memory picture poured in, I, what is wrong with me?
I seem to remember a lot of things, and besides, why do I think my name is not Li Er? It's called Li Ergou! Also, I seem to be ...... It seems to be a Taoist priest of Maoshan...... Those memories are so far away, they seem to be decades ago. But, but how can I remember it so clearly at this moment? Suddenly, I looked at my children and grandchildren again, and all of them present had not changed, except for the appearance of the little sister, and the appearance of the children and grandchildren had all changed!
They did not look like people, but white dots of light, still transparent. Why is this happening? Why can't I see the faces of my children and grandchildren? Only the little sister's appearance hasn't changed at all, what's going on?
"Ahh
In a trance, when all the memories and consciousness were restored, I slapped the back of my head heavily, but at this moment, I was so shocked that my mouth opened wide and couldn't close it for a long time. This, this is too much fun, right? It's just a test, it actually made me and my little sister a husband and wife for a lifetime, and the two of us were deeply lost in it, and now I understand that I am not Li Er, nor is I a villager of Hujia Village, I am Li Ergou!
"!" I gritted my teeth fiercely, this is actually a dream, a confused mandarin duck dream! Those so-called children and grandchildren don't actually exist, so I can't see them, and Xiaomei is still lost in it, thinking that she is Hu Xiaomei, not Fox Xiaomei! She came to the fox clan ancestral hall this time to withstand the test and compete with her eldest brother for the future new patriarch of the fox clan, but I was lost in this mandarin duck dream with her, and I lived a lifetime bit by bit, until I died and didn't wake up.
This, this is simply outrageous! But, but this second difficulty, what is the test of the fox girl? Well, now I'm awake, the reason is very simple, just because this test is specially arranged for the fox sister, until I die in the mandarin duck dream, the test of the fox sister, I'm afraid it really began! Lose? No, the first hurdle is already testing this, and the second hurdle will definitely not be this again.
But the fox sister has been deeply lost in it, plus this long mandarin duck dream, it is too real, and the bits and pieces in it are exactly the same as the real world, is it possible, is it possible that the fox sister wakes up in the mandarin duck dream to pass? No, she couldn't do it, never possible!
