Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Proposal to Repair the House

Then there was a scene on the table that made the three of them dumbfounded.

The lid of the leather case was pushed open from the inside as if it were open, and then under the lamp, a shining golden paper figure walked out with a helmet and armor.

"This, this ......"

The Gao family was speechless in shock.

Gao Jingkun stood up with surprise on his face and asked:

"Xiaofei, did you succeed?"

Gao Jingfei nodded with a smug smile and replied:

"That's right, I succeeded, Arudiba, give your grandparents a salute!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a smile on the face of the little man in golden armor, hugged his fist towards Gao Wenbin and his wife, and bowed deeply.

He brought Arudiba back with this in mind, and of course it was also because of the success of the sacrifice just now.

"This, this is unacceptable! Xiaofei, are you inviting any gods? ”

As a rural woman, Dong Aiwan obviously had her own understanding of this situation, thinking that this was the kind of magic in folklore that invites gods and immortals, so she hurriedly stood up and avoided this salute and said.

Gao Jingfei smiled and comforted his mother and said:

"Mom, don't be afraid, this is a psychic paper figure created by myself with spell sacrifice, it is my Dharma Protector, I am equivalent to his father, and he doesn't have much thinking ability, and his IQ is almost the same as that of a kitten and a puppy, so you don't have to worry about anything, he is also a member of our family!"

After hearing this, Dong Aiwan hurriedly patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

And Gao Wenbin, who was stiff and clenched with his fists over there, also quietly relaxed, and scolded his son for splitting his head and covering his face.

"Where did you learn all this godly chatter? Almost scared your mother, you know? ”

"What are you doing so loudly? Don't scare your son and, with this ......"

However, Dong Aiwan obviously accepted these superstitious things more than her husband, and after she calmed down, she curiously pulled her son and asked:

"Xiao Fei, what is your paper man's name, isn't it similar to those spirit officials enshrined on Maoshan and the heavenly soldiers and generals recruited by the real people?"

Gao Jingfei didn't expect his mother to guess the details of the paper figure at once.

"Mom, have you ever seen a heavenly soldier?"

"I haven't seen the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals before, but I heard the old Taoist elders talk about it when I went to incense before, and I also gave incense to the Lingguan grandfather! When I was a child, your grandfather also loved to tell these mythical stories, after all, my hometown is in Danyang, not far from Maoshan Mountain, and I also have some friendship with the Taoist elders on the mountains near my hometown. ”

After listening to his mother's words, Gao Jingfei vaguely remembered that his grandfather's family lived in a village and town under the jurisdiction of Danyang County not far to the west, and it was only about half an hour's drive from Maoshan Mountain.

Because Maoshan straddles the two prefectures of Danyang and Changzhou, it is very convenient for people in these two areas to go to Maoshan, and the folk religious atmosphere is also very strong.

When I was a child, my mother and grandfather did take me to Maoshan and the palace near Zuo to worship God.

It's just that he was still a few years old at that time, and he didn't have the opportunity to go back after he went to elementary school. So I wasn't impressed with that.

So he explained: "My paper man is indeed the means of the Daomen mage to summon the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to sacrifice and refine the Dharma Protector Dao soldiers, but it is still relatively low-level, and I need to continue to practice in order to be called that kind of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals." ”

Thousands of years of belief cannot be rejected by modern decades of materialist education, so people like Dong Aiwan, who were born under the roots of Maoshan, are basically very faithful at the age of thirty and above.

Even young students, although they are more skeptical and don't necessarily believe it, they will be a little evasive.

When Dong Aiwan heard her son say this, she immediately said happily:

"It turns out that my son has also become a fairy! It should have inherited my genes, after all, our family has lived under Maoshan Mountain for generations, and we are naturally prone to immortal fate......"

Gao Wenbin lives in the north, and the traditional folk atmosphere is much weaker than that in the Jiangnan area, and he is from the army, so he has always scoffed at these Shinto things.

However, after all, his wife is devout and faithful, and the Taoist belief is in line with the traditional concepts and customs of the Xia people, not as extreme as those outsiders, so Gao Wenbin is not disgusted.

He asked his son:

"Xiaofei, this is how you were hired as a consultant by the government?"

Gao Jingfei nodded to his father and said:

"That's right, of course this is just one of my skills, I also have martial arts and other aspects, such as this!"

As he spoke, he pulled a playing card from his pocket, and in the blink of an eye, his fingers moved, and the card was set on the white wall opposite the hall.

This kind of old-fashioned stucco paint wall can only be seen in some old houses in the countryside, and most of the houses built after the early 2000s are wallpaper or latex paint.

Because of the years, the paint and putty have become a little loose due to moisture, not only the cards are inserted into the wall for an inch, but also a piece of wall skin the size of copper coins has fallen around.

"Is this a secret weapon?"

Gao Wenbin was surprised, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart, because martial arts or something was a very attractive existence for him, a middle-aged man from the army.

But when I saw the broken wall, the idea of being diligent and thrifty came up again, and I turned my head to reprimand my son with a head and face:

"You kid, if you want to show us flying cards, I don't know how to find some other targets, you see that this wall is beaten, and Lao Tzu has to repair it?"

Gao Jingfei smiled wryly and said, "Dad, you see that the wall in our house hasn't been repaired for eight or nine years, and it's almost rotten, so it's better to repair it with the bathroom and toilet." ”

Gao Jingkun also said on the side:

"That's right, second uncle. You see that most of the other families in the village have built houses a few years ago, and more than a dozen have built small western-style houses, now Xiaofei can make money, and you and your aunt should also enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren! ”

Gao Wenbin was still touching his chin and thinking about whether to repair the house, as the virtuous helper of the head of the family, Dong Aiwan, who usually makes decisions about small things, heard Gao Jingkun's words, and had some thoughts in her heart, and immediately slapped the table, startling the three men.

"Xiu, let's also repair this old house, let Aunt Li's six sisters-in-law take a look at the tongue-chewing roots, our Gao family is also going to be prosperous......"

It is rare to see his own mother so bold, Gao Jingfei knows that this is because the rural women of the three aunts and six mothers-in-law in the village usually like to talk about the rights and wrongs of other people's families, but his father is an outsider who settled down later, and he is the kind of character who is upright and does not like to argue with others.

This time, with this million reasons, I must raise my eyebrows.

Gao Jingfei originally wanted to honor his parents, so he naturally supported his mother even more, and said with added fuel and vinegar:

"That's right, Mom is right, I've heard the gossip of those mothers-in-law in the village, my junior has not heard less, our family has been low-key for so many years, it's time to show the strength of my Gao family! By the way, I also let my mother out of anger, so that those who chew the root of the tongue are envious and jealous! ”

Dong Aiwan immediately hugged her eldest son and kissed her on the head.

"What a good son of mine!"

Then he turned back and counted down the husband:

"Gao Wenbin, you talk about you, I have been married to you for so many years, and I have been excluded from this village since I returned to the door, thinking that I Dong Aiwan was at home for the first twenty years, although I am not a daughter-in-law, it is also my father's love and mother's love, and my brothers take care of it, but I have not suffered from those mothers-in-law and idle with you, if you don't repair this house today, I will go back to my parents' house to serve my parents."

"As for you, hmph, the old lady won't serve anymore......"
