Chapter 476: Girl Zhang Li
I'm not feeling well, so it's a draft, and I'll revise it tomorrow.
Here's the text:
The days are still going on like this, but the number of times Qiang Shun drinks with me has become significantly less, after all, he is a family person, and he can no longer run around without home all day like a child, what about me, I feel more and more alone.
The life of the workers in the cement factory is boring and monotonous, the whole is to go to work and get off work, to go to work, in my opinion, it is far better to do migrant workers at ease, three shifts a day, a person according to a post, no one can do it less, there is something to take a day off, you have to write a leave note, after the squad leader signed, the workshop director signed, the factory is not big, there are many problems with dog days.
In the blink of an eye, this is spring, in the spring of 2005, my mother's age is really twenty-six. At this time, the homestead applied for by our family and the Qiangshun family was approved, and the two families were busy building houses.
You say coincidentally, early that morning, my dad found some people, prepared some tools, ready to go to the homestead to dig the foundation, at this time, Master Zhang came, inquired about the way to visit my grandma, my grandma at this time, also prepared some things, burning paper and incense, ready to pay tribute before my dad took the groundbreaking.
After a few polite words with Master Zhang, she said that Master Zhang came early and did not come as coincidentally, so let's go to the newly approved homestead to see the feng shui, and then break ground after reading it.
Of course, Master Zhang was happy to serve, and a group of people came to the new homestead in the northeast corner of our village, including me, and I took a special leave for this day.
Master Zhang, what about those guys, as long as they go out, they will put them in his black leather bag, and wherever they go, they will be like collecting electricity bills.
Master Zhang took out the compass from the black leather bag, but the whole homestead turned around, his face changed slightly, returned to my grandmother, and whispered to my grandmother: "Bai Xiangu, this piece used to be a cemetery, and there are a lot of people buried underneath." ”
My grandmother laughed when she heard this, and said, "That was all decades ago, don't care about it below, just look at the feng shui up there." ”
Master Zhang shook his head and said, "This piece is too heavy, I'm afraid it won't be able to support living creatures, and if people live on it, they will either die or be injured." ”
Grandma nodded, turned her head and told my dad to go back to the village to see if anyone had a rooster, buy three roosters and bring them over, and then bring the kitchen knife.
An hour later, my dad came back with three roosters and a kitchen knife, and my grandmother told my dad to chop off the head of the chicken with a kitchen knife, and then sprinkle the chicken's blood along the ground with the chicken's body.
Grandma didn't let me kill at this time, but this time there was no way, if I didn't kill the chicken, then I had to bleed, such a large place, the ground base is hundreds of meters long, how much blood do I have to put out.
After sprinkling the chicken blood, grandma in the center of the homestead, gathered a handful of loess, lit the incense stick and plugged it in, and then burned paper and ingots, so that my dad kowtowed, my dad didn't kowtow, grandma had to call me over, kowtow in four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest, kowtow in each direction.
Burning incense is for the gods, burning paper and burning ingots is for the souls of the dead underground, and kowtowing in the four directions is to greet the gods of the four directions, hoping that they can bless this place.
In the eyes of other villagers, this is feudal superstition, and it is a very superstitious kind, which is why my father is reluctant to kowtow in front of a group of people.
After kowtowing, my grandmother asked me to hold a kitchen knife that had just been cut off the head of a chicken, at this time, the kitchen knife was still stained with chicken blood, and on each tool for digging the foundation, that is, on the wooden handle of those tools, I gently cut it horizontally and cut out the traces. What is this for, this is called "still killing" (Nian huan), the knife that has just been killed is murderous, after cutting on those tools, the murderous energy will be transferred to the upper part of those tools, and with such a tool to break the ground, even if you dig something evil, nothing will happen. There is also a kind of tool head smeared with chicken blood, and this principle is the same, the most common is to move the grave, when moving the old grave to break the ground, generally will be smeared on the iron head of the chicken blood, to ward off evil spirits.
A group of people tossed and turned in the morning, the foundation trench was dug, and in the afternoon it was time to lay the foundation of the stone base.
At noon, Master Zhang called my grandmother aside, and the two of them didn't know what to mutter, my grandmother seemed very happy, and then, my grandmother called my mother again, and the three of them muttered something, and my mother was also happy.
In the afternoon, Master Zhang went back, and in the evening, after dinner, my grandmother called me to him, and my mother was also there. Grandma told me that Master Zhang didn't come here today to show us feng shui, he had other things, and this matter has something to do with you.
I asked, what does it matter to me? Grandma smiled and said, Master Zhang is here to tell you about the matchmaker, talking about his own niece and nephew, and he also said that you have seen her niece at their house, if you are willing, you two will be everywhere, if you don't want to, let your father call someone later and talk back.
I licked my lips and was about to say that I didn't want to, but my mother glared at me vigorously, and I swallowed the words back in one breath.
As soon as I said this, my grandmother and my mother were happy, and I was heartbroken.
Grandma was happy to call Master Zhang in person, but the phone has been installed at home for so many years, grandma has never touched it, let me dial her, I feel very aggrieved, I find that the older I get, the less free I am, no wonder many people run away from home.
The phone was connected, and my grandmother told me to flash aside, and she wanted to tell Master Zhang by herself, I turned around and went back to the house, and my grandmother didn't know what she had said to Master Zhang, anyway, she was smiling from beginning to end.
After talking for a while, the phone hung up, and my grandmother came into the house to look for me, and I was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. Grandma said, you will take a day off in the factory tomorrow to meet Master Zhang's niece and play for a day.
I nodded weakly, in the middle, we will do whatever we want, anyway, I am still a hundred pounds, you still toss casually.
The next day, I didn't go to the factory to ask for leave, what kind of leave, Lao Tzu is not happy today, I don't give them these grandchildren leave, if you don't ask for leave, you have to be fined, and if you don't get fined, you will be fined, and if you don't do it, Lao Tzu will also go to work as a migrant worker.
Riding a motorcycle to Master Zhang's house, Master Zhang's niece had been waiting at his house for a long time, as soon as I entered the door, Master Zhang poured me a cup of tea very enthusiastically, Master Zhang's niece, what clothes did I wear that day, I forgot, it doesn't seem to be very good, by the way, it seems to be a red Nizi coat, and the feet are wearing women's black leather shoes, the kind with straps, I know at a glance, I don't know how to dress up, up and down, except for the eyes are bigger, it can be said that there is no place for me to look at the eyes.
I sat across from her, and beside her, there was an old woman, who looked about the same age as my grandmother, at least eighty years old, and kind and kind.
Master Zhang introduced me to her, this is her niece, her nickname is Zhang Li, I won't say her name, this is her real name, and then introduced me to her niece, Liu Huanghe, nicknamed Huanghe, from a certain village.
What about this Zhang Li, as soon as I entered the door, a pair of big eyes flashed out, the kind of eyes that flashed and flashed, and I knew at a glance that she liked me very much. She has seen this kind of eyes, I have also seen Huihui and Tian Tian's eyes, especially Tian Tian. It's just that this Zhang Li's appearance really can't be compared with either Tian Tian and Huihui, and it is not a grade at all.
After chatting a few words, Master Zhang drove the two of us out, and asked the two of us to go out for a walk, preferably to the people's park in the city.
Okay, you can go anywhere, go through the process, and when I get home, my mother and grandmother ask me, how is that girl, I immediately give them a sentence, no. That's the end of it.
Take the No. 2 bus, get off at Yinmakou, and then walk two or three hundred meters to the south, which comes to the east gate of the People's Park.
The two of them went in and walked around, no one spoke, at noon, there were fried cold noodles in the People's Park, and each person bought a bowl of fried cold noodles, the cold noodles were very delicious, but the people who sat with me and ate the cold noodles were too cold.
After eating the jelly, I said to Zhang Li, let's go home. Zhang Li was a little unhappy and said, let's go around again. I said, I'll be back at work in a while.
Zhang Li said, didn't you ask for leave? I said, where do you ask for leave, you have to pay a penalty.
Zhang Li was very worried about me when she heard this, and the two of them came back in the car.
When I got home, my mom and my grandmother asked me how the girl was, and I was about to say, no. The phone rang, my mother went over to answer it, and after saying a few words, she hung up the phone and told my grandmother with a smile that the girl had called and asked if Huang He had returned.
Grandma also laughed and said that if this girl marries home, she will definitely know that she is distressed.
Damn, I grinned.
My grandmother and my mother asked me again, "What's this girl like?" I gritted my teeth and nodded, and a word popped out between my teeth, okay!
That's it, in the following days, my mother urged me to go to Zhang Li to play for three days, Zhang Li sometimes called our home, the whole family was very happy, and I was alone.
Sometimes, my mother was forced to go to Zhang Li to play, I turned a corner, and I found a place to wander around for a day, but the paper couldn't keep the fire, and soon my mother and my grandmother found out, because, my mother told me to go to her, who knows, she called our house again, my mother asked, didn't Huanghe go to you?
No, I don't.
It's exposed.
When I got home, the whole family gave me a hard beating, if you don't want to, you say, you don't want you to go to someone. I was suddenly full of grievances, was I willing to find her, wasn't it all forced by you?
