Chapter 41: Hardship
Ning Yang finally agreed to the madman's request, but the office had not yet been rectified, and he saw that his grandfather's "Yin and Yang Secret Technique" had a lot of things that were conducive to him solving the case, and he needed time to learn and comprehend, so he called the madman and asked him to wait for his phone to give him a task. He wasn't in a hurry at all, just let Ning Yang tell him when it was ready.
Ning Yang was rectifying the office while learning the charms and Taoist secret techniques on the "Yin and Yang Secret Technique", which was to learn from the simplest. Even so, she was made big, mysterious and mysterious, a little confused, talking to Xiaolian, she was limited to superficial theories, and her usefulness to Ning Yang was not very great, but the Taoist body technique had made a lot of progress, and her strength didn't seem to have increased much, but her reaction was more agile, however, she was more concerned about the charms and other Taoist methods on the secret arts, so she called An Lao Dao, hoping that he would have time to come and teach himself.
However, An Lao Dao was busy and didn't have time at all, which made Ning Yang very annoyed, but fortunately, he gave himself a website with a lot of metaphysical videos on it to learn from.
Ningyang watched those videos on the computer at home, and even wanted to be a member, fifty a month, and I felt sorry for me, but, after recharging for a month, click into some videos to watch, those so-called metaphysical events explained, it did benefit a lot, but those who really have the ability to set up paid videos on some videos, and finally, Ning Yang angrily scolded An Laodao This is uneasy and kind, and wants to pit his money, Lao Tzu is poor, and he has to be helped by his father, you don't let it go.
Although Ning Yang was full of complaints, he did find that some metaphysical masters really still had some ability, at least in some yellow charms gave him a lot of inspiration, and also let him really appreciate the shallow meaning of some charms, however, it also made him a little anxious, and he wanted to receive the task as soon as possible, otherwise, the five thousand that he borrowed from his father were less than three thousand, and he had to buy a notebook, which he could only buy the cheapest, and it cost more than two thousand, where is there a face?
Although he was in a hurry, Ning Yang was still calm, and after practicing drawing talismans for a few days, he finally achieved a little success, and was able to draw some of the simplest auxiliary yellow talismans.
This morning, when he got up, Ning Yang had breakfast, and practiced spells in the study, when it was almost twelve o'clock, he felt a little thirsty, so he took the glass next to the computer desk, and was ready to go to the water dispenser in the living room outside to get a glass of water, but when he first arrived at the door, he heard that his father had returned, but he seemed to be arguing with his mother.
Ning Yang frowned slightly, the relationship between his parents was actually very good, he rarely heard such a loud noise, so he didn't open the door, but listened to the door with his ears close to his ears for a while, and knew that his parents were discussing Xiaolian's free food and living at home, and his father wanted his mother to tell Xiaolian to let her pay a living allowance or something? But my mother was embarrassed and couldn't speak.
Dad seemed to be angry when he heard this: "Why can't you say it? You promised to let Xiaolian live here. How much salary does Lao Tzu get a month? Four or five thousand pieces. You still have to support such a big family, in addition to living expenses, how many are left? Xiaoyang, if you want to get married and have children in the future, you will need money, and I must save a few for my son. You also see it now, what kind of office did Xiaoyang do? What kind of money can you make by pretending to be a ghost? How high are the prices now, how much does it cost to marry a daughter-in-law, and we haven't saved some money, do we see our son beating a bachelor? ”
Mom whispered: "Don't say it so loudly, Xiaoyang can't hear it!" ”
Ning Yang finally heard it, but sighed secretly, these days, he felt the hardships of the days, the money he borrowed from his father, in less than ten days, he used a fine light, now he has to be careful to buy anything, a kid like him who has just entered the society, he shouldn't be worried about these, but what office he wants to run, he needs to ask his parents for money, if his family is better, he won't listen to it so uncomfortable.
Ning Yang opened the door and saw his parents looking at him. Mom's face was helpless and embarrassed, but Dad was angry, obviously, he was not dissipated by Ning Yang's existence, Ning Yang stood and said: "Dad, Mom, let's talk about it, this matter still has a lot to do with me after all!" ”
Dad said with relief: "Xiaoyang, you can understand Dad's difficulties, Dad is very happy!" ”
Then my mother persuaded my father a few more words, and then shook her head helplessly, and Ning Yang asked my mother, it's almost twelve o'clock now, why hasn't Xiaolian come back for dinner yet?
Mom told Ningyang that Xiaolian went to the next neighborhood to take care of an old grandmother.
Ning Yang was puzzled when he heard it, but thinking that Xiaolian was kind-hearted, it was really possible, no wonder he sometimes didn't go home to eat at noon these days, so it was.
Ning Yang hurriedly went downstairs to ask her to eat, and by the way, he looked at the old grandmother, and when he arrived at the Xinqiao community on the other side of the highway, he called Xiaolian and asked her where she was? Go find her yourself.
Unexpectedly, she said no, but Ning Yang said that she had already arrived in the community, and she quickly told him the specific location, so she had no choice but to tell him.
Ningyang to the door's guard room, is an old man, a question, he was very enthusiastic to Ningyang pointed to the fourth building, Ningyang thanked, then walked along the boulevard to the fourth building, although the name of the community here is very good, but the building here, in fact, is the end of the nineties building, some of the wall cement has fallen, revealing the mottled red bricks inside.
Ning Yang followed the stairs to the fourth floor, the corridor was not in the middle of the current house, but opened on one side, and the other side was a railing, not very high, but somewhat dangerous.
The grandmother's room is 409, Ning Yang came to the door, found that the door was hidden, the sound of Peking Opera came from inside, gently pushed the door open, and saw that he seemed to have walked into a movie in the nineties, the furniture in the room was similar to black and white, except for the old color TV, which made him wonder, could it be that the grandmother was very nostalgic? Or are the children and grandchildren not working hard?
After the door was opened, Ning Yang saw the old grandmother sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the TV opposite without blinking, as if she was concentrating on watching the Peking Opera picture, listening to the babbling singing, and Xiaolian squatted in front of the old grandmother to feed her, but unfortunately, it was not easy to feed, and she was busy going over to help, but found that the old grandmother saw him suddenly shouting with some excitement 'Tao, Tao', which made Ning Yang wonder.
Xiaolian whispered to Ning Yang that the grandmother has Alzheimer's, but she misses her son a lot, so she is so emotional.
Ning Yang felt sour when she heard this, so she pretended to be her son and fed her, and sure enough, she ate very well, and then pulled him and didn't let go, so she had to let Xiaolian go back to eat first, and after comforting the old grandmother to sleep on the bed, she left the room.
In the evening, Ning Yang wanted to tell Xiaolian about the situation at home, but before he could say it, Xiaolian gave him 500 yuan, saying that it was the food expenses for her living here. Pay for a month first, Ningyang is not good to talk down, but ask her, now as a volunteer, no salary, we can't take care of grandma all the time, anyway, there is a neighborhood committee, so I asked her what job she is going to look for?
She looked at Ning Yang with a smile, Ning Yang knew An Laodao's instructions, so she had to prepare to let Xiaolian be her assistant, this is to pay her salary, fortunately, Xiaolian seemed to know his difficulties, so she didn't mention the salary, but Ning Yang felt that she couldn't take it, and her face was gloomy, so she decided to let the madman provide her with a task as soon as possible.
After another two days, Ning Yang practiced the charm and achieved a little success, and bought a computer in the computer city, spending two thousand five dollars, and suddenly only a few hundred yuan on his body, Ning Yang immediately called the madman and asked him to provide him with a commission task as soon as possible.
It's just that this morning, the madman's entrusted task has not yet arrived, but Ning Yang ushered in the first customer in the office.
