Northerners pay attention to a lively celebration, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, everyone wants to be prosperous. The Zhang family set up a table that stretched for miles on the bank of the Lihua River, and for a while the crowd was full of voices, and they praised in unison that this family was really rich and worthy of being a landlord.

Liu Shi felt that he raised his eyebrows, hugged me and kept showing off to others, and kept flattering in his ears, this feeling. I don't understand this superficial feeling, I don't like the atmosphere very much, and I always pretend to be lethargic, and I don't want her to perform in front of people.

People who have children always think that their children are the best, and people flatter their grandmothers with bad mouths, anyway, if they don't want money, they won't lose a piece of meat. My ears are very good, and after Liu carried me away, I could hear many people whispering: "The grandson of the old Zhang family, how could he be so ugly, you see how Peugeot his father is, this child is not like him at all, this ..... this.........Hehe." ”

It seems that my Zhang family is still just a new small landlord, and being kind to people is regarded as weakness, and the people in the village are not very afraid, I don't want to eavesdrop, pretending to be impatient and crying. Liu shook me excitedly, and the strong family affection rushed to the top of my head, and I said in my heart: My relatives, I, Zhang Beishan, will never let anyone bully you. But they call me ugly, don't they?

Before the banquet was opened, Liu saw that I was making a fuss, so I had no choice but to send me back to the room, I asked her to take the mirror, and I looked at my appearance, but I was also very disappointed, I was really sharp-mouthed monkey gills in the mirror, my head was protruding, like a monkey, I swept off the mirror, and my face was gloomy.

Seeing that I was not happy, my grandmother cautiously asked, "Good grandson, what are you doing?" ”

I don't know how to answer her question, I can't tell an old man who treats himself as a baby, I think I'm ugly, at this moment, Zhang San'er came over with an impatient face, and heard me crying angrily: "Crying again, it's really annoying to you?" He scolded and stretched out his hand to pull it over.

Liu Shi stopped and said, "What are you doing?" When you are angry outside, you come to the house to sheath, the children are at home, what is there to cry about, your voice was hoarse every day when you were a child, I didn't want to kill you, such a small child, you can do it, you get out, don't care about us. ”

Seeing that Lao Tzu was angry, Zhang San'er hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother, I'm not afraid that this kid will tire you of old age, I heard that you are going home, and you are about to start a banquet, I will invite you back." Grandma waved her hand impatiently and told him to get out of the way and said: You can go by yourself, don't worry about our girls. When Zhang San'er walked away, she immediately said to me with a spring breeze: "Stinky boy, you are gone, what are you doing like this." ”

I've lived for hundreds of years, how can I ever feel like this, maybe, just like this, an ordinary life will be very happy, what immortal way, what enemy, everything has passed, I thought lightly, suddenly remembered the old woman who came to see me yesterday, and asked: "Grandma, an old grandmother came to see me last evening, have you seen it?" ”

"I was home yesterday afternoon, and no one came? What is the old grandmother, talk about it. Liu replied indifferently

"Wearing an old blue coarse cloth coat, there is a large mole in the left eyebrow. I don't quite remember the rest. "I really can't remember the old woman yesterday, my memory has been declining, it is said that not drinking Meng Po soup should have no effect on my intelligence, but why do I forget so many things every day, as for what I forget, I don't remember at all.

"A mole on the left eye?" Grandma said to herself, said her general appearance, compared her height and asked, "Is this the body shape?" ”

I nodded yes, and my grandmother's tears immediately flowed down her eyes and she said to me, "This is your grandmother and my mother-in-law." I didn't think she was really still there, and she saw you too. ”

I had a strange feeling, I thought Liu's crying was a bit fake, and seeing that she was crying lively, she didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, so I had to pretend to be asleep on the bed. Now I feel very tired every day, I just close my eyes and fall asleep, and I even have a strange dream, I was scared to wake up, but I don't remember anything when I wake up.

It was already noon, and the banquet was about to start, and I saw the boy Wang Jingmeng again, smiling happily. Liu Shi hugged me and tried to ask me to play with him, I saw that it was close, gathered strength, quickly stretched out my little hand and gave him a big mouth. The beating made him cry.

The person who came with him was a woman with an unkind face, and brought a little girl ring, thinking that it was his old son, seeing his son being beaten, the temper of the rich man's daughter immediately attacked, and the triangular eyes were cold, this woman is not a good person, but I don't care.

The corners of Shen Xiaohua's mouth flashed an unknown smile, which happened to fall in my eyes, and hurriedly accompanied me to bring me over from my grandmother's arms, twisted my ass a few times, put it on my ear and said, "If you deliberately beat others again in the future, my mother will not be able to spare you." Saying that, she carefully dodged the old lady who was frightened by Wang's dream.

I cheekily said to Shen Xiaohua: "Mother, why do you want to avoid her if you let her beat me." ”

Shen Xiaohua pretended to be angry and wanted to go back, I giggled, Shen Xiaohua's hand was raised high, and it fell on my face but stroked it gently, "You are my mother's baby, how can I watch others beat you." ”

My eyes didn't feel moist, and I called out to my mother, only to see the goddess walking in, and saw Shen Xiaohua with tears on her face and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

There was no one else around, I called my aunt, and the face of the goddess who was not close to people immediately appeared with a faint smile, and when she walked to my side and looked at me carefully, her face suddenly changed greatly.

I was a little strange, "Grandma, what's wrong?" ”

"You're not proper, a few days ago you were still full of brilliance, look at your life is unspeakably expensive, see you again today, all the brilliance is gone, I think you were born with a pair of cheap bones? destined to work all his life and die old...... Why is that? ”

Saying that, she pondered for a moment and muttered: "No, the old monk is very accurate in looking at people, he said that your Zhang family has eighty years of wealth, should this be on someone else's...... That's amazing. ”

I never paid attention to the riches of the world, so I didn't bother to pay attention to her words. Shen Xiaohua was taken aback. The Liu family also came, saying that they would take me to report to the ancestors first.

The first time I came to the backyard, I found that this family is not small, the goddess and the Liu family are both small feet and are not slow, Shen Xiaohua hugged me, and the taste of being surrounded by a group of old women was not very bad.

The main house in the backyard was cleaned spotlessly, obviously someone often cleaned, and before I walked in, I suddenly felt the hairs on my whole body stand up, and when I looked up, I saw a group of people in the courtyard busy with something, I said for no reason: "Mother, what are so many people doing in this house?" ”

After saying a word, I immediately felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and I clearly felt that Shen Xiaohua had a pimple all over her body, and looked at me with Liu in disbelief, and then looked at the goddess inquiringly before saying: This kid is talking nonsense to scare us, the house is empty, how can there be anyone. ”

The goddess gave me a strange look, and said to Shen Xiaohua and Liu: "This bad boy is talking and playing with you, there is no one inside." ”

I immediately remembered that these people were not alive, Shen Xiaohua and Liu's eyes were invisible, and I complained in my heart that my mouth was fast, and I hurriedly laughed a few times, Shen Xiaohua thought I was talking nonsense, and after complaining a few times, I had already walked in with them, and the people in there were indifferent to us, and they were still doing their own things.

Afraid that I would say something that I shouldn't have said, the goddess asked me over and whispered to me, "These are the ancestors of your Zhang family, today you took advantage of your full moon day to come to the house to enjoy the worship offerings, don't talk casually, frightening the family." ”

Liu took Shen Xiaohua to kneel on the two cotton mats, lit incense and prayed sincerely: "Ancestors, our Zhang family has finally blossomed this year, you must bless this child with a long life." Zhang's incense is endless," he said, kowtowed three times in a row, and stood up. I pursed my eyes and looked at the ancestors inside.

These men were loyal, simple, and apparently plenty-griffs, who were interested in enjoying the abundance of offerings and ignoring their pious descendants. I said in my heart that it was really a group of village ghosts who had never seen the world.

Just thinking about it, an old man walked in front of me, and he actually wanted to pass through Shen Xiaohua's body, my mother's body was already weak, if it was really entered by the yin wind, then it would be okay, I couldn't care about it, and hurriedly said: "I can't go." ”

The old man was stunned, and Liu and Shen Xiaohua were also stunned, "Clown, who are you talking to?" ”
