Chapter 998: The Problem Is in the Locust Tree
"Okay, little aunt, I know, then let's do it first"
"Senior nephew Liu, tomorrow is Sunday, will you come over?" My aunt asked me in the video.
"I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow morning, I'm going to go over in the afternoon."
"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow" After the little aunt said this to me, she hung up the video.
I put the phone in my pocket and went back to Zeng Lu's house, Zeng Lu's mother was washing dishes in the kitchen, Huang Tao and Zeng Lu were helping to clean up the table, You Zhipei stood at the kitchen door with a big goose leg in his hand and gnawed at the door of the kitchen, which was called a fragrant ah, even I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit when I saw it.
"You kid can really eat," I said angrily as I walked up to You Zhipei.
"Auntie's sauerkraut stewed goose is really delicious" You Zhipei said to me with a smile, I kind of understand, a foodie only has food in his eyes, and nothing else can be seen.
"Zeng Lu, auntie, you two come out, I have something to say to you," I said to Zeng Lu and Zeng Lu's mother.
"En" Zeng Lu and Zeng Lu's mother answered and walked over to my side, and at this time, Zeng Lu's father returned to the kang in the east bedroom and lay down.
Zeng Lu's father's current symptoms are weakness, his head is still a little dazed, and he can't sleep well.
"Uncle, how long has he been like this," I asked Zeng Lu's mother.
"It didn't take long, just a week, it was mild at the beginning, but now it's a little worse, and I can't go to class, I took him to the city hospital for a check-up in the morning, and I didn't find out what the disease was," Zeng Lu's mother said to me with red eyes.
"Uncle, he doesn't have a real illness, it's just a false illness," I said to Zeng Lu's mother with a serious face.
"How do you know, young man?" Zeng Lu's mother looked at me suspiciously and asked.
"My master is a Taoist priest, I can understand some of these things, now the problem appears in the row of locust trees behind your house, as the saying goes, "don't plant mulberry in front of the door, don't plant locust behind the door", the locust tree belongs to the shade, the locust tree is composed of wood and ghosts, it is also known as the ghost tree, and now the dozen locust trees behind your house are absorbing the earth qi of your family, and then cause my uncle to be in this sick state now. Now there are two ways, the first way is to dig out the dozen locust trees behind the house, so that the locust trees will not continue to suck the earth qi of your home. The second way is to move," I said to Zeng Lu's mother with a serious face.
"The home must not be moved, this house has only been built for a few years, and I haven't lived enough" Zeng Lu's mother resolutely disagreed with the second method.
"The locust tree was planted by Aunt Bai at the back of our house, and it seems a little bad for us to dig Aunt Bai's tree for no reason," Zeng Lu said to his mother with a frown.
"This Bai Xia didn't press the good intentions, she told me at the beginning, the fortune teller said that planting a locust tree behind our house is good for both of us, I just promised her to plant a locust tree behind our house, I didn't expect it to be like this, besides, the land behind the house is our family, I'll go to Bai Xia now to talk about it, this immoral thing" Zeng Lu walked out with a angry face.
Zeng Lu's father has an easy-going personality, and at first glance he is the kind of good old man, while Zeng Lu's mother is short-tempered, belonging to the kind of rural old ladies who are on fire at all, and I can see that Zeng Lu's short-tempered personality is.
"I'll go see my mother in the back, don't suffer from other people," Zeng Lu said this and ran outside.
"Let's go and have a look," Huang Tao said to You Zhipei and me, and the three of us followed Zeng Lu to the neighbor's house behind their house.
"Bai Xia, you come out for me," Zeng Lu's mother shouted loudly as she stood in the yard of the neighbor's house behind their house, pinching her waist.
"Lao Chen, why are you so angry today, I Baixia didn't provoke you" In less than a minute, a woman about forty-seven or eighteen years old walked out of the room and asked, this woman is not tall, she is a little fat, she has a scathing and mean face, and she is not the kind of good stubble at first glance.
"Bai Xia, I'm here to tell you something today, my old Zeng has been sick for the past two days, and I didn't find out what the disease is when I went to the hospital, I went to find a fortune teller to show my family Lao Zeng, the fortune teller said that the locust tree planted behind our house sucked the local qi of our family, and then caused Lao Zeng to be like this, I came to you today, just to tell you, whether you find someone to dig up these locust trees, or I find someone to dig up these locust trees" Zeng Lu's mother suppressed the anger in her heart and said to the middle-aged woman named Bai Xia very rationally.
"At the beginning, you promised me to let me plant the locust tree in your house, but now you want to dig up this locust tree from behind your house, and I will compensate me for two thousand yuan for a locust tree, and I will let you dig it" Bai Xia replied to Zeng Lu's mother with a disdainful face.
"This old lady is really lacking in morality, planting locust trees behind people's houses to absorb people's earth, and not letting people dig them" Huang Tao muttered in my ear in a low voice.
"Bai Xia, I can see it, you don't want to reason with me, then I don't need to reason with you today, now this locust tree is planted in our family's territory, what evidence do you have This locust tree is your family" Zeng Lu's mother pointed to the row of locust trees behind their house and said to Bai Xia, Zeng Lu's mother felt that there was no need to reason with this Bai Xia, and the best way to deal with unreasonable people was that you were more unreasonable than her.
"You, you, you ......" Bai Xia pointed to Zeng Lu's mother, a little speechless.
"Bai Xia, I'm here to tell you today, whether you agree or not today, I have dug this locust tree" After Zeng Lu's mother said this to Bai Xia, she withdrew from their yard.
"These dozen or so locust trees are all wrist-thick, and if they were to be dug by people alone, they would have to be dug for days," Zeng Lu's mother muttered as she walked, the expression on her face a little worried.
"Auntie, I'll leave this matter to me, I'll send you an excavator now, and I can dig up all the dozen or so locust trees planted behind your house in less than an hour" Huang Tao patted his chest and said this to Zeng Lu's mother, then took out the phone and called the people in their company.
At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, a construction truck with an excavator came to Zeng Lu's house, Huang Tao stepped forward to say hello to the driver, and the driver drove the excavator and began to dig the locust trees behind Zeng Lu's house.
"Your old Zeng family is too bullying," Bai Xia, the female neighbor behind Zeng Lu's house, saw that the excavator was digging a locust tree, and she sat on the ground and cried.
"This woman, I really hate it" You Zhipei is straight, if he can't get used to seeing a person, he will say it casually, and Huang Tao and I can't get used to seeing a person will only put it in our hearts and never say it from my mouth.
When the excavator driver dug up a locust tree by the roots, I saw that the green leaves on the locust tree instantly withered, and I also saw that the roots of the locust tree were wrapped in a black gloomy atmosphere, which could not be seen by anyone who did not open his eyes to heaven.
"There's really something wrong with this locust tree," You Zhipei said faintly, looking at the dug up locust tree.
It didn't take an hour for the row of locust trees behind Zeng Lu's house to be dug out by the excavator, and I saw that the gloomy atmosphere that wrapped Zeng Lu's house dissipated instantly.
"Thank you so much for this today, I am proud that our family Zeng Lu has three brothers like you," Zeng Lu's mother looked at me with a smile and said Huang Tao and You Zhipei.
"Auntie, it's polite when you say this, it's all a trivial matter" Huang Tao said to Zeng Lu's mother with a smile.
After returning to Zeng Lu's house, I first went to the east bedroom to take a look at Zeng Lu's father, Zeng Lu's father fell asleep on the kang with his eyes closed, the obscure qi on Zeng Lu's father slowly dissipated from the body to the outside, and the complexion on his face was much better, and it would take a few days for Zeng Lu's father to completely recover.
"Auntie, my uncle's body is weak now, you can get something to replenish his blood and qi, he will recover after four or five days of recuperation at home, you don't have to worry too much" I looked at Zeng Lu's father and said to Zeng Lu's mother who was standing aside.
"Well, I see," Zeng Lu's mother nodded back to me.
"Boss, second brother, fourth, I can't have dinner with you tonight, I have to stay at home with my dad, I'm sorry for you, I missed the appointment today, originally we all booked a gathering tonight" When the four brothers came out of Zeng Lu's house, Zeng Lu said to me with an apologetic face, Huang Tao and You Zhipei.
"You kid will see the outside when he says this, your father is sick, you should accompany him more at home, we can get together at any time for dinner, you don't have to send us anymore, let's go to the front road and take the car, if you need help with anything, call us" Walking out of the courtyard of Zeng Lu's house, Huang Tao stopped and said to Zeng Lu.
"Okay, you three brothers go slowly, I won't send it, we'll see you tomorrow night" Zeng Lu nodded and replied to Huang Tao, after listening to Zeng Lu's words, our third brother waved his hand to Zeng Lu and walked forward.
"I think we can come to my third brother's house for the next dinner, the third brother's sauerkraut stewed goose is really delicious, now I think about it," You Zhipei stretched out his tongue and licked his upper lip and said.
"I forgot about you kid if you didn't mention it, you're so embarrassed, the pot of sauerkraut stewed goose at noon, the five of us didn't eat a bite, almost let yourself suffer, what do you kid think" Huang Tao said to You Zhipei angrily.
"I didn't think about anything at the time, I just wanted to eat sauerkraut stewed goose in my head" After listening to You Zhipei's words, Huang Tao and I were completely speechless.
"Okay, you won the fourth, and your second brother and I will serve you" Huang Tao said this to You Zhipei and strode forward.
"I also obey you, you are the leader" I raised the curtain and chased after You Zhipei, after saying this, I quickened my pace and followed Huang Tao.
"Didn't you two eat sauerkraut stewed goose, your heart is unbalanced, next time I go to the third brother's house, I'll eat less, just leave some for the two of you" You Zhipei said after the two of us, while Huang Tao and I were too lazy to pay attention to You Zhipei, we both thought that You Zhipei's stupidity was really not pretending.
