When I was studying, in biology class, the teacher used to say that human beings are creatures that constantly adapt to the bad environment in order to survive, and I was not sure about this statement. But now, I think that sentence makes too much sense.

It took me about 10 days to get used to the chores and I was able to do them perfectly. I have to mention that I never thought that doing housework was so tiring.

Seriously, I think my cousin's house is a little too big. Especially the ground, it took me three days to wipe it clean, and on the first day of mopping, I couldn't count how many buckets of water I used, and the mop that was mopped down the floor would not be put into the water, and it would just turn black and black. Alas, and the window, and the grease on the roof of the kitchen, I was so tired that I fell asleep on the bed, and I didn't think about anything else.

But this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is to clean up the insects in the vegetable field, what the hell is the color, what the appearance, I have to sigh at the magic of nature.

What can I do but sigh at this? Just throw these bugs to the chickens to eat, and you have to clean up the feces for the poultry, the smell is really indescribable. Especially when the hen is about to lay eggs, it will become extremely excited, flying around, and if you are not careful, you may even get injured.

In addition to the physical fatigue of serving this group of animals, it also has to be counted as mental torture, no wonder it can be said to be a tempering.

On this day, while I was watering the vegetable patch, my cousin came to me and said, "Do you know what day it is? I thought for a moment and said, "I've been here for fifteen days, which is half a month's anniversary." My cousin gave me a roll of the eye: "Are you the kind of person who lives without brains?" Today is the Qingming Festival, a day to worship ancestors. ”

After listening to it, I thought about it, and I replied. My cousin reached out and rubbed my hair and said, "Little tangerine peel, do you know what this festival represents?"

I gently pushed away the hand he was rubbing on my head, and said in a tone that was about my: "I have always lived in the city before, and for a student like me whose ancestral home is in other places, it is just an ordinary day of vacation. ”

My cousin smacked his tongue a little, then took a bunch of keys from his pocket and threw them to me, and I was a little confused with the keys. My cousin began to explain to me: "During the Qingming Festival, our whole clan will go to the ancestral shrine to worship our ancestors, and then eat there and stay for one night. Back and forth plus the time of staying, about two days, you stay at home alone, anyway, you can cook, you don't want to do it. When you come from Guangdong, you also bring some money, go out and go straight to the right, and you can see two hot dry noodle shops. ”

I said with some dissatisfaction: "Wow, not only do you let me do housework, but you don't take me to the whole family activities." The cousin said helplessly: "You are not a direct line, your mother is a direct line, you are a nephew, you are a side line, you should not come to worship your ancestors." ”

I continued to say dissatisfiedly: "But we all have the same surname, and we all have the surname Chen, so the difference is not too big." The cousin waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this stubble, your parents were almost stopped from getting married because they were both surnamed Chen." Not to mention counting you. Besides, even if it's my own family, I haven't been up the mountain for a long time, and I can't take it to worship my ancestors at once, but there is a danger of committing a crime, so you just stay good" After saying that, he ignored my complaints, turned around and left.

Alas, the heart is angry. This feeling of isolation reminds people of the feeling of being excluded by their classmates for a while when they were studying. I was in a state of grief and indignation when it suddenly occurred to me that I needed my cousin to draw behind my back almost every two or three days to be safe.

I hurriedly chased out to the door and asked my cousin to help me deal with it again. I hurried to the gate, and my cousin and aunt were about to leave with their suitcases. It's really thrilling, if I hadn't thought of this in time, maybe it would have been my funeral with him after my cousin's ancestor worship, after all, if something happened to me, my parents wouldn't let him go.

Just now, I was anxious about my own life, so I didn't pay attention to the situation in the house, the sign of the altar was now covered by a big red cloth, and even the tablet on the altar was covered by a red cloth, the incense burner was also empty, and the two electric lights were not lit.

I thought about this situation for a while, just like when my family moved before, when I asked the master to do the ritual of relieving the landlord, and then I contacted my cousin to go out. I guessed at once, probably because my cousin was worried that I would forget (or deliberately) not to make an offering of incense after I went out, so that his altar would be cold. The result of the cold altar is more serious, and it is likely that the spell will no longer work. It's better to return it first, and wait for him to come back and install it again

This is really an unreasonable rule, and my cousin is so distrustful of me, and I feel a sense of isolation and distrust, and I am not in the mood to make dinner for myself. It's not cool, it's too much.

When he was angry, he said that he was not in the mood to eat, but when it was time for dinner, his stomach immediately became hungry. I was too lazy to make it myself, and remembered what my cousin said, so I ran outside to find hot dry noodles.

When I went out and walked straight to the right, I saw the hot dry noodle shop that my cousin said, and it was written at the door of a house that it was only for breakfast and was not available all day. The other one is open all day.

I ordered a hot dry noodle, and the store brought me a cup of soy milk. Noodles with soy milk, nothing to say. But if you think about it, this thing is usually eaten for breakfast, so it is served with soy milk... Still doesn't feel right.

After eating, I went back home, remembering that my cousin's absence in the past two days is actually a good thing, it can be regarded as a small vacation for me, two days have passed in a blink of an eye, after my cousin came back, I specially went to see how my cousin made the altar, he told me that he just sealed the altar, and did not remove the altar, and it would be good to raise the altar again. I don't know what he's talking about, but it sounds a little handsome.

After a while, more than ten days have passed, and I can't remember how much housework I have done, but I have been at my cousin's house for nearly a month, and I have accumulated more experience in housework.

Sometimes I think that maybe the so-called training for me is just an excuse to make me a free laborer, and maybe even that accident was made by my cousin to control me. But no matter how I think about it, I still have to do it if I want to save my life, no matter what the situation, I don't want to go through another fatal ghost press.

Just when I was secretly complaining in my heart, my cousin came in, and he had a hearty smile on his face? I'm a little scared when I see this expression now, what the hell does he want to do?

I saw my cousin looking around with a hearty smile without saying a word, and his eyes finally fixed on the three pots of vegetables that I had just picked and washed from the vegetable patch, I looked at my cousin, and then at the three pots of vegetables, and unconsciously had an ominous premonition in my heart.

Sure enough, my hunch came true immediately, only to see my cousin slap the vegetable bowl over, let the vegetables spill all over the ground, and then kick the vegetable bowl on me. And he still has that hearty smile on his face. There was a great deal of negativity in my heart, several curses came to mind, and I could feel my facial expressions distorting. My eyes became sharp, and the corners of my mouth began to turn up, and when I was angry, the corners of my mouth would involuntarily turn up.

But when I think of it, I still have to ask him, and I am his junior. I couldn't do anything about it, I could only squat down in humiliation, pick up the basin and silently pick up the leaves without saying a word. I just finished picking it up and wanted to stand up and put the leaves away. My cousin snatched the basin and threw it on my head, and threw it on my head. My whole being is not just twisted, I can clearly feel the feeling of the vegetable leaves sticking to the top of my head. If I could look in the mirror, I'd be sure I would be like now, like a violent madman. However, my cousin did not stop, but poured the other two pots of vegetables on my head one after another.

I looked at the vegetable leaves hanging down on my head, and slowly reached out to pick it off, I looked at the vegetable leaves in my hand, my hands were trembling slightly, my whole person was so angry that my brain could not function, but my desire for life suppressed me as much as possible, not to smash my fist on that hearty smiling face.

"Hehe, hehe, hahahaha." I opened my mouth to say something, but I couldn't even say a word, I could only smile weakly. As a person, my anger has been suppressed to a certain extent, and I may have a similar mental breakdown, but this time, I can't even get angry, and for the first time, I understand the feeling of enlightenment and the emptiness of everything.

I showed an expression that I had never seen before, a hearty smile like my cousin, and I began to explain the hard-won vegetables to my cousin very brightly.

At this time, my cousin's hearty smile disappeared, turned back to a benevolent smile, and applauded: "You have passed the tempering qualified, and you can go to apprenticeship tomorrow." "Oh~ This suddenness brought back the threatening plan I had prepared.

But I still felt unhappy and said, "Even if it's an exam, it's a bit too much." ”

My cousin patted me on the shoulder, then put one hand on my shoulder and said, "Before I learned spells, I was not in good health and had poor learning ability. I don't do my job all day long, rely on my parents and brothers to help, work odd jobs and gangsters, and when I go out, I also use the neighbor's children as negative teaching materials, everyone looks down on me, and even the homeless people in the town think I'm useless garbage and want me to bring a green hat. After that, he slapped my chest twice and said earnestly, "But didn't labor and management come here in the same way?" People, if you want to get things done, you have to be thick-skinned, don't be afraid of losing face in what you do, and don't let go of your self-esteem. It can be said that if I hadn't been through that period of time, I would not have changed from a superstitious person to the owner of a decoration company. ”

When I heard this, a question arose: "Cousin, you used to be so rubbish, how did you get a wife?" And my aunt's facial features are quite marked. ”

My cousin didn't expect me to ask this, and replied a little embarrassedly: "It's because it's rubbish, the family is worried about my lifelong events, and the local people know everything, so the family will find a way to go to the next town to propose, at that time I had two older brothers who mixed well, so it seems that the conditions are not too bad." The people in the next town didn't know me that much, so I got married."

I silently replied, oh, is there such an operation in my head? Am I still too young?

My cousin saw that I didn't speak and continued: "Don't always stare at me, I want to tell you, after this time, your tolerance has increased a lot, after all, I want to introduce you to the master, it is impossible to introduce a general." After all, my master is not ordinary, and if you want to solve the problems left by him, you have to find a strong one. The person I found for you, although I don't like it very much, but I have to say that he is a first-class person in Shili Eight Villages. ”

When it came to the first-class awesome, he also gave me a thumbs up, and my cousin continued: "But because it's too powerful, my personality is a little weird and unsociable, and I can make any move, and what I did just now was just to give you a vaccination." After that, he took out an envelope: "When you get there, just hand him this, and he will know what is going on after reading it, and remember, don't peek at it."

I was about to ask when I was leaving, but an exclamation came from the door, it was my aunt who had come to see how the lunch was going. And now the house is full of messes, and there are vegetable leaves everywhere. There was also a crack in the basin. My aunt had an angry look on her face

I silently walked over to my aunt and stood up, pointed to my cousin and said, "I was cooking well, but my uncle suddenly rushed in and started smashing things. I couldn't stop it, and I got a little bit of a head wound. ”

My aunt listened to my words, looked at the little black blue on my forehead that my uncle had just smashed with a basin, and said, "Good girl, are you okay?" I replied with a very gentle expression and tone, "It's nothing, thank you aunt for your concern." At the same time, he turned his head to his cousin and smiled heartily. I'm a person who is very prone to scars, and even if I scrape it with my fingernails, my skin will be red for a long time.

My cousin saw that his aunt's anger was already coming at him, and shouted to me, "Hey! You kid. ”

In response to his words, I smiled heartily, and I silently wished my cousin good luck in my heart, and ran back to the room on the third floor. After that, how they reconcile with each other is none of my business, what I have to do now is to be mentally prepared, I will go to apprenticeship tomorrow, do you want to buy some gifts first?
