Chapter 003: The Old Man
"You!" The second uncle's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and his fingers pointing at me couldn't help trembling, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
And I, just standing in place, looking at the second uncle, did not have the slightest intention of backing down.
The atmosphere in the room was-for-tat, and it suddenly reached the extreme.
"Brother, I stewed chicken soup for you, you drink some first." The door to the Westinghouse was pushed open, and a crisp and gentle reminder entered my ears.
When I turned around, I saw a girl dressed in linen and filial piety, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a beautiful face.
Holding a bowl of chicken soup in his hand, the two large chicken thighs in it look very tender.
The girl stuffed the chicken soup into my arms, and her lips opened lightly: "Brother, you came all the way back, you haven't eaten yet, you can make a little bit of a mat first, and you are discussing things with the second uncle." ”
I took the chicken soup, looked at the girl in front of me, estimated that she was about the same age as me, and kept calling me brother, but I was an only son at home, where did this beautiful sister come out?
"Second uncle, don't be angry, grandpa's funeral hasn't happened yet, it's not good for our family to make jokes." The girl took two steps, came to the second uncle, and pulled the second uncle to sit down.
When the second uncle saw the girl, most of his anger disappeared, he looked at me again, sighed deeply, and said: "Alas, look at Zhilan, although she is not our family's biological bloodline, she has filial piety better than you, and she knows the overall situation better than you!" ”
Zhilan? Oh, I remember, Zhilan was a girl I picked up when I was six years old and went fishing with my grandfather to the river at the entrance of the village.
I was six years old and she was five.
She wandered alone by the peach wood bridge in Qiaoxi Village, crying and saying that her family didn't want her anymore.
Grandpa saw at a glance that the body of the yin was easy to attract evil, it should be that the family couldn't stand the ghosts she had attracted and discarded her, but the body of the yin and my pure yang body complement each other, two people together, yin and yang are harmonized, and they can be no different from ordinary people.
As a result, our family officially adopted this girl and named her Zhao Zhilan.
The two of us grew up together, and in the process of getting along, the evil spirit didn't come to entangle because of her physique, and I could also talk to the yin spirit and work together, otherwise as long as I was in the paper shop, the ghosts didn't dare to come to buy things, and there was basically no dead business in the store at night.
But the paper shop relies on those ghosts to come at night, otherwise it only relies on a few businesses during the day, at most it is to make a living.
So, until I was six years old, my family was very poor.
And after Zhilan came, as soon as it was night, the spirits on the road dared to come to buy things, and they have always been generous, and the paper shop business was booming, all of which was due to the adaptation of our two lives.
"Zhilan? I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've changed so much that I don't even recognize you. "I sat down at the table, ate a few bites of chicken thighs, regained some strength, and then began to greet Zhilan.
I remember when I was a child, we were inseparable, very good, like biological brothers and sisters, but later I found out that yin and yang can be reconciled, but the fact that I was destined to be bad cannot be changed, especially when my father was in a car accident when I was ten years old, I realized that for the safety of her, my grandfather, and my second uncle, I had to leave.
Haven't been back once in ten years.
Now I'm twenty years old, and she's nineteen, and they're in their best years.
Zhilan glanced at me, with a little longing in her eyes, she wanted to say a lot, but she wanted to say a lot, and finally only said: "It's been ten years, but it's good to come back." With that, she turned away and cautiously closed the door.
