It is said that those who have extraordinary lives are born into the world with a vision of heavenly ascension, and those around them will have adventures. When Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was born, a golden dragon hovered over the delivery room, and it happened that his father saw it; Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was also born with a fire, and he was fine if he burned down other people's houses.

According to my grandmother, I also had a vision when I was born, first of all, I was just an ordinary person, and I didn't do much, and I was unemployed and couldn't eat. So, I don't know if the old man said that I was born in order to coax my grandson to play, or if it was true. But let's let everyone hear it as a story.

My home is at the junction of Northeast China and Inner Mongolia, which is a small city on the 18th tier. Those who are familiar with this place know that there are "three pairs" in the local area - the right clip, the right tune, and the object. Of course, this has nothing to do with our topic, it's just a simple nostalgia for my hometown.

And there is one more thing in my hometown that is also worth remembering - sandstorms.

Many people may not know that the sandstorm in my house generally occurs at noon or afternoon in summer, especially in June and July every year, every time the sandstorm is scraped, it will present a spectacle. I heard that one year he even blew a Jetta car onto the flagpole of a school. Of course, there is no way to verify this, so let's just have fun.

But one thing is clear, once the sandstorm is blown, there will definitely be no one on the street, because it is very dangerous. To this day, every year when there is a sandstorm in my house, there are still some fatal accidents or something.

I heard the old people say that during the Republic of China, there was a little ruffian in the local area, who usually didn't do good things and turned to do some dirty things such as kicking the widow's door and digging up the grave of the widow. Just because I wanted to eat dumplings at noon, there was no vinegar at home, and I went out to buy a bottle of vinegar and died in a sandstorm. It is said that at that time, he had just bought half a bottle of vinegar on credit with the owner of the small grocery store, and the wind blew "woo", which first blew the grass and then raised the sand, and finally the sky was yellow, which was called a panic. The owner of the small grocery store kindly asked him to hide, this kid is also fated, thinking about leaving home a few steps, running two steps to get home immediately, there is no need to hide and refuse the boss's kindness.

Who knows, this kid just stepped out of the grocery store and was about to run, and in the yellow sand in the sky, he rolled over a wooden stake not far away to dry clothes, smashed straight into the kid's heart, and immediately smashed him five or six meters away and nailed him to a wall. The boss heard the voice, and looked out through the crack in the door of the grocery store dumbfounded, which frightened him and sat on the ground, the kid was stuck in an earthen wall by a wooden stake, because it was yellow sand rolling, it was very strange to look looming, and what made him even more frightened was that there seemed to be two figures standing in the wind and sand inside, also looming, and the two seemed to be discussing something, and after a while, the little ruffian seemed to come down on the wall, and was taken away by two figures like no one else. Before leaving, one of the figures glanced in the direction of the grocery store, and the boss suddenly felt that the world was spinning and his heart was beating hard. Frightened, he hid behind the counter and didn't dare to move, just begging the sandstorm to hurry over. Fortunately, the sandstorm came and went in a hurry, and at most 2 hours of hard work, the sky turned back to a clear sky.

At this time, the owner of the grocery store had the courage to go over to check the situation, except for the little ruffian who bought vinegar and was stuck in the wall with a wooden stake, where was there any figure? The grocery store owner was scared enough, and he foamed at the mouth on the spot, and was seriously ill for more than a month, during which he talked nonsense, what "ghost grandpa let me go", "Lynx fairy help" (laidai), the family found a lot of doctors but couldn't do it, and later found a local Guandi temple in a fire house Taoist disease to get better, and then the boss cashed the grocery store out and went away. There is no way to verify the truth of this matter, but some good deeds like to brag after a few sips of wine, and use this kind of thing as a conversation after drinking, and then spread it widely.

After the liberation, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods were completely defeated, and this kind of topic was forbidden to be transmitted. It is said that rumors stop at the wise, but things in this world are like this, some words and some things are just jokes for ordinary people to entertain themselves, but as soon as the official intervenes, the nature changes. The same is true for rumors, before the official intervention, some people may believe and some people will not believe it, everyone should be happy; As soon as the official intervened, some people's psychology was basically branded as "true", which triggered a steady stream of rumors, and the wise became unwise.

The same is true of the sandstorm, what the little boss saw is really unreal and no one knows, but after the official ban on dissemination, it gradually evolved into a legend: it is said that the sandstorm is a means used by the ghosts of the dead city to catch those damned people. Of course, whether this is credible or not is up to you.

Let's talk about myself.

My mother told me that when she gave birth to me, there were also signs, and some people dreamed about something. But it's not her, it's the grandmother I haven't seen before.

My grandmother was born in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and she was educated and knowledgeable under the influence of traditional education and some new cultures. When the little devils invaded, she personally took my grandfather, who was still studying at school, out of school and scolded: "Those eight calves are here, what are you reading!" If you don't clean up a few devils for me, you won't be my son! In this way, my grandfather was pushed into the revolutionary ranks by my great-grandmother in the thirty-eighth year. But such an old lady is very superstitious, believing that good will be rewarded with evil, and she also believes that people are watching from the sky.

My mother said that before giving birth to you, my grandmother specially held a family meeting and called my grandparents, my aunt, two aunts, and my parents together.

She specially pulled my pregnant mother to her hand and asked how the situation was recently, and my mother said that it was almost the due date and she was going to go to the hospital in the next few days.

Hearing this answer, my grandmother's face immediately tensed, and she grabbed my mother's hand and said: "Second granddaughter-in-law, I had a dream when I slept soundly last night, in the dream I was thirsty and planned to drink some water, by the way to see if the fire in the stove was extinguished, I just took off the lid of the stove with a fire hook, and the flame of the exhalation was high, which scared me a lot. The fire drifted up the crack in the window, and when I looked up, I saw that the sky was burning outside the window. I was wondering when I saw a flaming and embarrassed tiger in the sky looking around in the air, as if hiding from something. When I looked at the tiger, the tiger was not only not afraid, but felt very kind. I asked what happened to the tiger? I didn't think that the tiger could actually say human words: 'Old man save me!' Listening to the tiger, I looked behind him. Boy! I couldn't see what the guy looked like, but hundreds of red eyeballs came out of the black whirlwind, and it scared me to death. I thought to myself, what can I do? As soon as I looked down and saw the stove, I said to the tiger, 'Come in and don't let it find it!' The tiger was obedient and got in without saying a word. As soon as the tiger got in, the monster with hundreds of eyes came to the front, the monster floated in the air, hundreds of eyes blinked, it looked at me and asked if you had seen a red flame tiger? Of course I said no. The monster doesn't believe it, so you have to come in and search for it! Can I bear my temper? While it didn't pay attention, it directly picked up the fire hook and pierced it into one of the beast's eyes, and the painful beast squeaked and screamed, and left a sentence before leaving, 'The fire tiger is the time for your Chen family to be the last!'" Then he ran away. With that, Grandma took a puff of her cigarette and drank her tea.

This is too mysterious, and at that time, the bull ghost and snake god basically ceased to exist in the Shenzhou Continent, so it must be difficult to convince. But even so, my mother couldn't help but swallow her saliva and said, "Grandma, you always tell me stories, right?" ”

My grandmother took a sip of jasmine tea and said, "Hey, I want to too." But after I had beaten the beast away, the tiger came out of the stove. I asked him what was going on? The tiger said to me, 'A few days later, the prince of your mansion was born, and it was originally safe and sound, but today you offend that monster in order to save me, and your house will suffer.' When I heard this, I was also troubled. Speaking of which, Grandma picked up the teapot and took another sip of tea.

His son, who was also my grandfather, said, "Mother, you are dreaming, don't take it seriously." Socialist countries do not believe in cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. ”

"Yes, grandma, don't think about it, Chunxia is well maintained, and she went to the hospital for a check-up two days ago and said that she is developing well." My dad said too.

What my grandmother said was really hard to convince. Especially my grandfather and my parents, basically don't believe it, my grandfather and my father are both proletarian revolutionary fighters, both dare to go to the moon for nine days and dare to go down to the five seas to catch turtles, cows, ghosts, snakes and gods don't care at all. As for my mother, she was also the leader of the pacesetter team in the factory before she was laid off, and her materialist consciousness was also leveraged, so she naturally didn't believe in my grandmother's dreams.

If this is the end of the story, I think the story will end. But they don't believe it, but some people believe it, and this person is my grandmother. Speaking of which, my grandmother was also a rich peasant, and she was a person who did things to help her relatives. Therefore, she has a lot of prestige in the family, and she is also the one who took the keys to the house hand-picked by my grandmother. is such a powerful woman who has never read a book in her life, and although she has suffered losses in many things, she also believes in the truth that people are watching the sky. So there are still some old styles and old ideas when doing things, especially the dream that my grandmother said.

When she heard the words of my grandfather and my parents, she immediately started a fire and slapped the table and said, "None of you believe what my mother said!" If anyone doesn't believe it, my grandson has the slightest problem, and I will fight with him! "Staring at my grandfather.

Don't look at my grandfather, who has done revolutionary work all his life, he is not afraid of heaven and earth. But one thing drops one thing, the most afraid thing in this life is his mother and his wife, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the two is not ordinary, and they have never blushed and quarreled, if the old lady is sick, the daughter-in-law is more anxious than her own sister. If only his own mother spoke, it would be prevaricated, and even his own daughter-in-law would be troublesome.

Seeing that my grandfather didn't speak, my grandmother turned her face to look at my parents, aunts and aunts, and two aunts, and said with her hand, "You guys fart too!" Say it! Who would dare to pack tickets without problems? "Looked at everyone in a huff.

"Mom...... This ...... "My dad just wanted to say something, but looking at my grandmother's angry face, he forced back the words, and also learned from my grandfather to light a cigarette and stop talking.

As for my uncle and aunt, and two aunts, they are basically people who have a reason to go with whom, and this game is obviously their grandmother and mother "reasonable", so they said in unison: "Grandma, you are in charge." ”

Grandma usually has two hobbies, smoking a cigarette pouch and drinking tea, especially after this, it can be said to be inherited, how do you say this? Let's stay for the first time and continue to talk about what happened before I was born. Grandma took a few puffs of cigarettes, knocked the cigarette pouch and pot under her feet and said to my grandfather: "I think the same as your daughter-in-law, whoever makes my great-grandson suffer a little, I will let him know what is called the three eyes of the prince of horses!" Then he squinted his eyes and swept everyone present, and continued in a soothing tone: "I'm also anxious to listen to the tiger." Just ask him what to do? ”

"Mom, what should I do then?" My grandmother interjected anxiously.

"Yufen, don't worry, no one wants to hurt my Chen family." Grandma touched my grandmother's hand to relax her mind and continued, "The tiger said, 'You can rest assured. I have my own way. Remember, in two days there will be five people passing in front of your house. When you get up in the morning, prepare an incense burner in the house, and burn incense continuously, and set a small table at the door, and prepare five cakes and twelve bottles of wine, and put one bean on each pastry, mung bean, soybean, black bean, white bean, and red bean; Wine can be made with a local horse pole. Remember, when the time comes, thou shalt sweep the floor, and thou shalt not speak to thee, and when they have gone to choose their own cakes and eaten them, if any one does not open his mouth, leave something and take it, and ask no questions of anything; If anyone asks you 'do you have water' after eating, let him drink the wine, and when he has drunk all the twelve bottles of wine, he will ask for the painting on his waist, and he must take the son of your family as his righteous son, and then name him. Remember! Remember! With that, my grandmother lit another bag of cigarettes and smoked it.

This made my grandmother anxious: "Mom, you keep talking! ”

My grandmother took a puff of cigarette, raised her eyelids to look at my grandmother, and then smiled and said, "No, the tiger will disappear after speaking, and I will wake up." ”

"Then get ready!" My grandmother got up and was leaving.

"You all go and prepare," Grandma said to the others in an unquestionable tone, and then grabbed my grandmother: "Yufen, you stay first, my mother has something to tell you." ”

After everyone else left, my grandmother looked at her daughter-in-law and asked softly, "What about Yufen, how many years have you been in the Chen family?" There was concern in his tone.

My grandmother didn't know what was going on, and thought to herself that this old lady didn't usually talk so much, she was all crunchy with radishes, and what was wrong today. Just said directly: "I've been here at Chen's house for more than 20 years." Mom, what's wrong with you? “

"It's okay, I just want to talk to my daughter-in-law again, you said that you didn't enjoy any happiness after you arrived at the Chen family."

"Mom, you ......"

My grandmother doesn't know what's wrong with my mother-in-law today. I just wanted to ask, my grandmother waved her hand to tell her not to speak, and then took off the house key from her belt, stuffed it into my grandmother's hand, and held it down with her hand, so that my grandmother grabbed it: "Yufen." Jingtian was renovated in the cowshed in those years, and the family was thanks to you. Otherwise, this family will not be the same, and you will have to worry even more about it in the future. My grandmother said.

"Mom, I can't ask for this key. You've got to hold it, I don't have that ability yet. My grandmother hurriedly excused herself.

"What can't you do? My son and my grandson are capable, but who will take care of this family? Back then, I was sick in bed, Jingtian was not there, and you had to take care of me alone, and you had to take your eldest and second child to earn work, isn't that ability? Your eldest daughter-in-law gives birth to a child, and she can't get milk without nutrition. The boss caught up with a business trip, didn't you think of getting some food stamps to exchange for meat and fish to milk her, his child can grow so big, isn't this ability? My grandmother spoke earnestly.

Hearing this, my grandmother couldn't help it, although she is the kind of person who is not afraid of difficulties and problems, but after all, it is also a woman's family, and she also needs the care and understanding of her family. Hearing what his mother-in-law said, tears began to roll in his eye sockets: "Mom, don't say it." She hurriedly wiped her eyes with her palm.

My grandmother smiled: "Look, look, why are you crying?" I have such a daughter-in-law, which is a blessing that my old Chen family has cultivated for several lifetimes. So, you still have to hold the key. After saying that, he put the key in my grandmother's hand, and then let her hold it tightly and said, "Me." I also miss your dead ghost father, I really want to go back to my hometown to see him, when you have time, you and that kid from Jingtian take me back to see him? ”

My grandmother nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, Mom." You can do whatever you want. When you hug your great-grandson, let's go back and have a look. ”

"Haha, okay. You have the keys now, you say. ”

"Look at you, why don't you take it."

……

Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a long time, and my grandmother completely took over the baton and shouldered the heavy responsibility of the whole family. She thought that the old lady was stepping down to enjoy Qingfu, and she also wanted to take her back to her hometown to have a look, to tell her ancestors, and the descendants had added a new thing to the family...... She thought about everything too beautifully, but she didn't notice that there was anything wrong with her mother-in-law. And when she realized it, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law story had become a thing of the past......

Of course, this is a later story.

Turn around and talk about business, now you just need to go to the small supermarket downstairs to prepare something, and then you can open a wifi on the net, log in to a certain treasure of Ma's father, and have something to ask for first. But at that time, pastries and everything were prepared for the New Year, so where could ordinary people usually eat them? Fortunately, my grandfather had a little relationship with the supply and marketing cooperative, and after two or three days of busyness, the pastries and horse poles were ready. On the morning of the third day, my grandmother, who had not closed her eyes all night, got up before dawn. After picking up as usual, he lit incense in the house, and set a small table outside with five pastries, each with a mung bean, a soybean, a black bean, a white bean, and a red bean, and began to sweep the floor.

My grandmother is a quick worker, usually and loves to be clean, don't look at small feet, but work very quickly. I almost swept up the ground and didn't see half a figure, and I was in a hurry, my grandmother came out of the house.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"I didn't see it either."

"Are you really just dreaming?"

"No, I can't! My dreams are clear. ”

"That'...... It was a dream, after all. ”

"Hey, is it really just a dream?"

Just when the two of them were anxious and hesitating, my grandmother was looking out with her feet on her feet, and suddenly someone came from the east, and she couldn't help but be surprised!
