The May sun had only just begun to emerge from the east, and the thin light was only enough to illuminate its rising outline. The night in the sky is still making the last reluctant nostalgia, there is no dog barking, no rooster crowing, and the alley is the caretaker of every family sleeping in their sleep.

What pierced the silence before the dawn was the creak of the wooden door being pushed open, and its sluggish body, which needed to be pushed vigorously, was telling its little temper after being disturbed by its sweet dreams.

Yu Cai woke up from her sleep after feeling the shaking of her body, her heart was naturally reluctant, after all, her half-month-old daughter cried several times last night, and now she can sleep and dream, which she finally waited for.

Yu Cai frowned, opened her eyes that were nostalgic for dreams and sticky and unwilling to separate, the eye feces blocked her vision between the upper and lower eyelids, and in the sour cry of her eyes, she violently rubbed off the obstructive eye feces with her hands, she realized that the person who woke her up was Fang Jian, her sleepiness was completely gone, and she immediately sat up, "When... While... The ~~~" her voice was occupied by panic, no, it was not only her voice that was occupied, but all her spiritual thoughts, and her eyes that had nowhere to put it, so she trembled and saw the emotions on Fang Jian's face.

Fang Jian looked at Yu Cai in front of him with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Hurry up and clean up, we are going to do things at Grandma Fairy." ”

Yu Cai's panicked heart was relieved after hearing Fang Jian's words, but she didn't respond, but moved her eyes from Fang Jian's body to her newborn child who was still asleep.

Fang Jian followed Yu Cai's eyes and looked at the child, even after returning from the goddess's house the day before yesterday, he needed to enter the house to tell Yu Cai that the goddess had promised to ask for a son for them again, he didn't take a look at the daughter who took away the opportunity for his son's birth. Fang Jian's heart was especially unwilling to see this child, but seeing that Yu Cai, who could give birth to a son for him, seemed to be a little unable to let go of this child, he could only patiently say to Yu Cai, "It's okay, we are going this time mainly to ask Shenyin, and we may come back in a while." He sat down on the edge of the kang, looked at the child with a pretended to be loving, and continued: "If the time is too long, I will go and call my mother halfway and let her watch."

Yu Cai didn't care in her heart, what came to her mind was Fang Jian's mother in the early morning of the day she gave birth, she really didn't believe that a mother-in-law like herself would willingly come to watch the child for her. However, Yu Cai could only nod, she couldn't say a word more about his mother in front of Fang Jian, after all, she could still recognize her current situation, "Okay." ”

Fang Jian saw that Yu Cai agreed, as if fleeing from something unlucky, and left a sentence, "I'll wait for you outside." After that, he left the house without stopping for a moment.

Yu Cai looked at Fang Jian, who was leaving like a gust of wind, the pain in her heart could only be comforted by touching the child who was still sleeping, she looked at the child with a loving face, "You have to be obedient, mother will come when she goes." Mom is there to ask you for a brother, and if you can have a brother, we can all be happy. ”

The corners of the sleeping child's mouth twitched slightly upwards after Yu Cai finished speaking, and in Yu Cai's opinion, it seemed that the child was answering after hearing her words, and the child seemed to be saying, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be obedient." ”

A smile immediately bloomed on Yu Cai's face, she happily rubbed the child's little nose with her nose, full of happiness and reluctance at the moment, but it was not something she could enjoy, her task today was to play a puppet who was resigned to fate. After confirming that the child showed no signs of waking up, Yu Cai cleaned himself up.

Fang Jian was in front, Yu Cai followed closely behind, and the two of them rode quickly to the house of the goddess in the cool wind that greeted the early morning, and when Yu Cai was about to move, the house of the goddess who appeared not far away gave her the last faith to insist.

Yu Cai quietly gasped and stood behind Fang Jian, in front of the two of them was the house of the god-in-law, the door that used to be wide open was closed at the moment, and through the low earthen wall, you could clearly see the house that was still sinking in the hazy gray, and there was no light that could represent that the master was waking up or about to wake up.

Fang Jian looked back at Yu Cai, and found that she was also looking at him with a hesitant face, so he pulled his somewhat withdrawn heart back, his clenched fist tightened and tightened in the rubbing of his thumb, and finally he let his fist collide with the door of the goddess's house, Yin Yin He felt that he had used a lot of strength, but the sound of knocking on the door was softly swallowed up by this sleeping courtyard, without setting off a little ripple. After a few seconds, Fang Jian clenched his fists again and knocked on the door, this time louder than the sound just now. Maybe the goddess was sleeping too deeply, and Fang Jian and his wife, who had been listening to the movement outside the door for a long time, could only knock on the door again and again.

The old goddess was naturally less sleepy, and was woken up by a series of knocks on the door, she sat up in a panic, and touched the rope that could open the time everywhere, and there was a small cloth ball on the rope, as long as she could touch the small cloth ball.

When the goddess was about to touch the whole kang, she touched the small cloth ball on the rope, she pulled hard, and the dim light illuminated the whole hazy and gray room, and she quickly put on the clothes on the side of the kang, and there was no sign of old age in her movements.

In between buttoning the buttons, the goddess moved her body to the window closest to the kang, and she wanted to see through the window who was not at home early in the morning to disturb her dreams. However, it was not too bright outside, and the door and wall made it even more difficult to find the culprit who woke her up from her dream.

The goddess didn't have time to care about whether to fold the quilt or not, whether the house should be cleaned up, because the knock on the door sounded again, even louder than just now, she hurriedly put on her shoes and ran out, her rickety body no longer allowed her to be like a young man, "Coming, coming~~~" Even if she simply shouted these two sentences, she felt that her voice was about to be unable to withstand the pressure of the voice and gave up on herself.

When the goddess opened the door and looked up at Fang Jian, there was a fire in her heart, but in the short time she was running to open the door, she had been completely awakened by the cold morning breeze, and when she thought of Fang Jian's previous filial piety to her, she didn't show the fire, but changed her face to be kind, "Yo, I thought it was who, it turned out to be Fang Da's master!" You are so positive, Shenyin will definitely not be able to bear not to give you a big fat son. ”

Fang Jian smiled and touched the back of his head, "I want to borrow your auspicious words." ”

The goddess smiled and nodded, she was embarrassed to say that she hadn't woken up yet, leaving Fang Jian and his wife outside the door, so she could only invite the two of them into her somewhat messy home, "It's cold outside, you two come in first." As she spoke, she rubbed her arms with her hands, turned around, and limped in front of Fang Jian and Yu Cai, no longer running like she had just run.

When Yu Cai walked into the house of the goddess, she frowned and looked around the house of the goddess with disgust, in the past, she was directly outside to receive the baptism of smoke and fire after she came, and she was still full of curiosity about what the house was like, but after coming in today, she regretted it a little, it turned out that the true face of the life of the fairy grandmother in Fang Jian's mouth was just an old woman in her last years.

The house of the goddess is not very large, and the kitchen and sleeping place are in this room. What caught Yu Cai's eye was the square table that could be seen as soon as he entered the door, it was small but tall, and the red of the stars represented that it used to be colored, but as the days were polished, the skin was rubbed off little by little, leaving only this rough and dilapidated appearance.

Under the square table were four high stools, as if they had been abandoned, and they were the same color as the table, all of them were dotted with red clothes with large holes everywhere.

Directly in front of the table, Yu Cai saw a wooden cabinet, it stood there like an ancient monster, the slanted door was still screaming with the years, and the things that emerged from the corners of the cabinet seemed to stretch out their tentacles to peek into the outside world, Yu Cai couldn't guess whether it was clothes or something else.

On the left side of the table was the kang, on which were the quilts and the paper money and incense needed for the work, and the two sides stood on one side, decorating the poor clay kang with ugly minions. The glimmer of light in the window closest to the kang may be the only salvation for the kang.

On the right side of the table was an earthen stove, with pots and pans in a mess that didn't know the rules, and a few unsociable dishes and chopsticks still carrying the dirt of yesterday's grain, no, maybe it was a few days ago, otherwise the room would not have its peculiar and unbearable smell.

Yu Cai looked at Fang Jian who was standing in front of him, it seemed that he was also a little overwhelmed, he should also wonder why he had to run to face such a scene with his enthusiasm in the early morning.

The goddess looked back at Fang Jian and his wife in embarrassment, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, she felt that the two people who came in at this moment were staring directly at every part of her room, just like staring at her without embellishment, which caused a layer of uncomfortable ripples in her heart. But the mind comforted her with the images of memories, so that the panic only became a passerby who sacrificed in an instant.

Because the goddess remembered what Fang Jian looked like when she called her fairy grandmother, the sense of superiority in her heart spontaneously arose, she was a fairy grandmother, naturally she was eclectic, and it was normal not to care about this cleanliness in the world. Thinking of this, the goddess walked to the side of the kang calmly, turned out a large bundle of incense under the pile of paper money, and counted sixty-four incense sticks one by one from it.

The goddess handed over the incense to Fang Jian, "There should still be a little flame in the stove, you husband and wife first light these incense, and then insert them in the courtyard where they often do things, remember not to insert them all on the ground, you need to insert them one by one, and every time you bend down and insert one, you must sincerely say hello to the gods from all walks of life, after all, after disturbing their dreams, they will not be as good at talking as me." ”

Seeing Fang Jian and his wife take the incense, light the incense, and then leave the house, the goddess moved her body to the edge of the kang and sat down, "Finally summoned out." ”
