At that time, my father had a watch, and the watches of that era were basically mechanical watches, and they had to be manually rotated to make the watch run normally. If you forget to put it on the handle, the watch may not be accurate.

When Dad heard his grandfather say this, he immediately panicked.

Grandma has been with her grandfather for many years, and she has always believed in her grandfather in this regard, and she just said that about her grandfather, just to prevent her son-in-law from losing face.

My grandfather also said that for such an important event as the annunciation, a cannon should be fired at the main gate and come in through the main gate. But you are behind you to announce the good news......

Grandma interrupted him and said that they usually come and go behind, and when you get used to it, you don't pick bones in eggs.

My house is separated from my grandfather's house by a mountain and five or six miles. Climb over the mountain and continue along the mountain road to my grandfather's house. But the road ahead has a fork. If you take a small road, you can reach the back door of your grandfather's house after passing a few ridges. If you take the main road, you have to go around to the head of the thrush village and turn back, so that you will reach the front door. Naturally, it is much faster to walk the ridge.

For as long as I can remember, my mother usually took me back to my parents' house by walking on a small road and stepping on a broken stone mortar to enter my grandfather's house. During the Chinese New Year, my mother would tell me to enter through the front door on the mountain road, and pay attention to auspiciousness. But my mother herself often forgets that as soon as she finishes speaking, her feet step on the ridge. When I got to the back door, my mother said, "Oh, why are you still taking the path?" She didn't bother to turn back again, so she didn't pay attention to it.

It's not that Dad didn't know that the good news was to be reported at the front door, but he was used to walking the path with his mother, and he felt that it was inappropriate to light the firecrackers, but the firecrackers were crackling, and he couldn't step on them and re-light them, so he gave up.

I was overjoyed and forgot. Dad rubbed his hands together and replied.

Grandma helped, yes, this is a happy event, can you not be happy? Don't listen to him, I don't care.

My grandfather glanced at my grandmother and said, "Look at what you said, I don't have to ask him to come from the front door to report the good news." He reported the good news from the back door, which is "good news", indicating that the happy event is not smooth. Go back and see, it's all right, and if what I say comes true, come and tell me.

Dad was told by his grandfather that he was very heartfelt, put down the unfinished sugar water tea, and hurried back.

He hurried home, and while he was still outside the door, he heard laughter in the house, like the laughter of a little girl.

Dad walked into the hall, and there was no one in the hall.

The laughter came from my mother's sleeping room.

There was no door on the door frame between the bedroom and the hall, only a curtain of cloth.

Dad was about to lift the curtain, when suddenly a little girl lifted the curtain from inside, ran out, and passed Daddy.

Dad glanced at the little girl's face and felt strange. By the time he looked back, the little girl had run away.

The people in the village are not like the people in the city, who are very strange through a door. The people in the village are very familiar with each other, and it is clear who has a few people and a few acres of land and any close relatives and distant relatives. Not to mention recognizing it in person, even if you hear the voice and see the back, you can recognize it.

But Dad didn't know the little girl just now.

Grandpa's side was not idle. As soon as Dad left, he went to Crooked Daddy's house. Crooked father's house is usually afraid to go in broad daylight. Others don't dare to go not only because the crooked father's face is scary, half of his face and body are normal, and the other half of his face and body are naturally crooked, like a clay figure that has not been done well, half of it is carved and dried, and the other half is still muddy and rotten, which will flow down, but also because everyone in the village rumors that the crooked father will go out to hunt ghosts at night.

Everyone knows that Zhong Kui hunts ghosts. Zhong Kui looks ugly. People think that Crooked Dad and Zhong Kui are the same kind of people.
