Chapter 6: A Boy Grows Up Next Door (2)

Bai Zhi raised her head slightly, looked at the person who came cautiously, Shi Nanye took the lighter, looked at the probing gaze thrown over, the two looked at each other, and said in unison: "It turned out to be you!" ”

Bai Zhi was a little pleased: "Is it really you?" How many groups does your family belong to in Baijia Village? Are you alone? ”

"You ask so many questions at once, which one should you answer?" Heather Ye looked at Bai Zhi and asked in a low voice.

Bai Zhi looked at the staring eyes of the heather, and was at a loss for a moment, her face suddenly turned red, she stepped back slightly, and scratched her head: "I'll just ask." Last time you borrowed me 100 yuan, I wanted to ask you to leave your contact information so that I could pay you back, but you left in a hurry. I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

"I'll come back and sweep the grave." Heather stood up and looked at Bai Zhi lightly.

"Oh, that, that, leave a contact information, and I'll transfer the money to you later." Bai Zhi is serious and eager, Bai Zhi feels that she is not the kind of person who wants to take advantage, she just wants to pay him back quickly, but there is no matter.

Heather couldn't help but be funny: "You want my contact information so much? Well? "Ask Bai Zhi step by step.

Bai Zhi watched Heather approach her step by step, and couldn't help but retreat, dodging her eyes, not daring to look at Heather Ye.

"Why don't you speak?" Heather continued to be funny.

"I, I, I just want to pay you back. After paying back the money, everyone deleted each other. Bai Zhi explained seriously

"Really? Well, the deity is right in front of you. If you need contact information, pay back the money. Cash. After speaking, Shi Nanye spread his hands.

"Huh?! I, I didn't bring cash, besides, who would bring ...... when I came out early in the morning to sweep the grave?" Bai Zhi had an idea, and immediately took out a few pieces of paper money from the basket next to her, and handed them over respectfully: "Where, pay you back, thank you!" ”

Heather Ye was stunned for a moment when he saw a few pieces of paper money, and then frowned and thought bitterly: "If I accept this money, will you have to bow three times and knock nine times next?" ”

Bai Zhi took back the paper money stupidly, and came to her senses in an instant, it turned out that Heather Ye was changing the law to take advantage of herself, and just wanted to scold angrily, Heather Ye had already left.

Bai Zhi was unwilling to be tricked like this, and looked for him everywhere. Finally seeing the slightly swaying back of the heather behind a ruined grave, Bai Zhi felt very good: he should be kneeling down to worship his ancestors, and let him know the consequences of annoying himself later. The more I thought about it, the more relieved I felt, and I ran over desperately to reason with him.

In order to make a wish to her ancestors this time, Shi Mu specially carefully selected a cannon with full particles, and as soon as she arrived at the cemetery, she was busy paving the way. Just wait for the light to be lit while you are kneeling, so that the wish can be fulfilled.

Shi Mu took her son to kneel and bow to the ancestors, her eyes signaled to Shi Father, Shi Father understood, took a lighter and lit it numbly, and a burst of firecrackers remembered in the ethereal mountain.

Bai Zhi suddenly heard the sound of the cannon, was stunned, and stood in place, watching the sound of the cannon. It seemed to be lit towards herself, Bai Zhi looked at the string of firecrackers lying peacefully at her feet, the red string stretched far away, swallowed her saliva, and ran away.

The sound of the cannon came really fiercely, and when she wanted to see the light of the cannon coming, Bai Zhi was so anxious that she shouted: "Help, help." ”

Heather turned her head to look at the figure that was running and jumping around in a hurry, and immediately understood, and quickly ran over.

Bai Zhi didn't dare to look back at the cannon sound that was chasing all the way, so she had to close her eyes and take out the strength to run hard, and finally got out of the danger of artillery fire.

Bai Zhi ran eagerly, completely ignoring her feet, a front and back foot posture slived, and her body fell forward without obeying the call.

Bai Zhi managed to turn herself into a dog and eat. Lying on all fours on the wet mountain ground.

Heather ran over and saw Bai Zhi's fall, she couldn't help laughing, bent down, squatted next to Bai Zhi, and asked in a straight voice: "You're not, are you okay?" ”

"Do you think I'm okay?" Bai Zhi looked angry.

Heather was silent, and she took over to help Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi pushed away: "No need." After saying that, he got up, patted the muddy water on his buttocks, and turned to leave.

Heather watched Bai Zhi stubbornly turn around and limp in a limping manner, and she couldn't figure it out: she had fallen to the ground, and she still looked stubborn.

"Son, what are you doing there? When it's okay, hurry over and clean up and get ready to go. Shi Mu shouted at the top of her voice.

Heather no longer looked at the distant figure, returned to the cemetery, and silently put away the offerings and scraps.

Bai Zhi endured the pain and walked to the ancestral cemetery, and when Father Bai saw that his daughter was covered in mud and had some abrasions on her arms, he asked with concern, "Where did you get injured?" ”

Bai Zhi gritted her teeth when she thought of the schadenfreude of heather: "I was chased by a dog." ”

"Whose dog, we haven't seen it from the bottom up! I heard the sound of artillery for a long time, and the family was really magnanimous. Daddy Bai looked envious.

Bai Zhi became angry when she heard this: "Dad, your daughter and I are injured, you still have the heart to discuss the sound of cannons, and when I make money, my whole mountain will be blown up!" ”

Daddy Bai was shocked: "You blew up the mountain, do you want our ancestors to wander the streets?!" ”

Father and daughter looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Daddy Bai arranged the rest of the memorial affairs properly, and then performed the sacrificial ceremony according to the custom, knelt three times and bowed to the ancestors' graves, and after thanking and praying for good luck in the coming year, he knelt down to burn paper money, and finally lit the cannon, so that the sound of the cannon could bring these words to the ancestors under the spring.

It was noon after the ceremony was completed, and Bai Mu had already prepared a meal at home, because she thought that she had missed the auspicious time, so she did not go up the mountain to pray and sweep the grave.

After returning home, Bai's mother saw that her daughter was embarrassed, and she was very distressed, so she asked long and short questions, Bai Zhi smiled and said that it was okay, so she pretended to sit down at the table and eat.

During the banquet, Bai Zhi asked, "Dad, do you know the family that was fighting with a lot of artillery?" ”

"You say the Shi family? The family used to live behind our mountain, but the family has been working outside for decades and has never returned, but this is the first time I have seen such a loud cannon battle this year. Daddy Bai said while pulling rice.

"Dad, how do you know?"

Daddy Bai looked proud: "When we went down the mountain, I saw the old man Shi, although I haven't seen each other for decades, but we still recognize each other at a glance, and he nodded to me, and I only remembered it later." What's wrong? ”

Bai Zhi shook her head slightly: "It's nothing, ask." You eat slowly, I'm full. Slept. ”

Bai Zhi put away the dishes and chopsticks, went back to the room, lay on her wide bed, remembered the embarrassment she experienced this morning, the ice cube man who used to be the heather turned out to be her neighbor, and suddenly felt that the world was so small! Thinking of the gloating appearance on the mountain today, the good impression accumulated is gone. I remembered that he borrowed 100 yuan from himself, and he still wanted to tease him and make him make a fool of himself, but his family's artillery battle also injured him, so he should be leveled.

Thinking of tomorrow's class reunion, Bai Zhi was happy and looking forward to it.
