The master glanced at the signed document, and after reciting it, he looked at Cai Zhongsheng and explained: According to the meaning of the signed document, it is not good for you to live in the coastal area, so you have to move to the mainland to live.

My mother-in-law said, our family has lived in the coastal area for generations, and our roots are here, so can't we not move to the mainland?

The Master said that the lot was only for the person who drew the lot. pointed to Cai Zhongsheng and said, that is, what he said to her. She can only represent her, not your ancestors.

Cai Zhongsheng thought that he had not been smooth since he was a child, is it really unfavorable to live on the coast? She asked the mage, but she couldn't find a way to save her. I was very depressed in my heart, and after I left Huiji Temple and returned home, I have been silent.

Ye Huiqiong avoided her daughter-in-law and told her son Liu Sanjun about Cai Zhongsheng's lottery, saying that if Cai Zhongsheng did not move to the mainland to live, everything would not go well. And persuaded, you are still young, it is best to divorce Cai Zhongsheng, hand over the child to us, and you can find another girl to marry and start a family.

When Liu Sanjun heard this, he frowned and said, Mom, don't talk nonsense, it is not easy for me and Cai Zhongsheng to get to where we are today, and I don't want to leave her. Even if her life on the coast is not going well and she wants to move to the mainland, I will accompany her. If we go to the mainland to do business together, we may even make a fortune!

Ye Huiqiong said, then whatever you want. She wanted to convince her son, but unexpectedly, her son had his own ideas, and she couldn't control them.

Liu Jiaju saw that his son insisted on accompanying him or taking Cai Zhongsheng to the mainland to make a living, so he did not stop him and gave his son a few thousand yuan as support for him to go out to fight grass and open up wasteland. But he left his grandson Liu Haisheng behind and didn't let them be taken away as parents.

Liu Jiaju knew that it was difficult for them and his wife to make a living, and it was even more difficult to bring their young children.

At first, Cai Zhongsheng was determined to take the child away, and Liu Jiaju called his in-law Cai Mao to persuade his daughter, although the daughter felt uncomfortable, she still obeyed her father-in-law.

Liu Sanjun thought about it. He said, wouldn't it be nice to hand over the child to my parents? When we went to the mainland to settle down, we didn't actually give up, but if we want to say that giving up is only a temporary abandonment, and we will make a fortune in the future, can't we still take our children to the mainland to live and work? Besides, even if we are not so prosperous, we can still go home often to visit our children.

On the way to send her son and daughter-in-law to the car, Ye Huiqiong, who was holding her grandson and following behind, was also down-to-earth.

Suddenly, she had a strange idea, so she quickened her pace to keep up with Liu Jiaju, who was delivering her son's luggage, and pulled his shirt.

Liu Jiaju stopped, turned around and was about to ask something, Ye Huiqiong whispered, if the work of the in-laws is not done, and the daughter-in-law changes the hexagram and wants to take her grandson Haisheng away, what should I do? Liu Jiaju said, how much do you wronged. Zhong Sheng wants to take Haisheng away, I don't care, I don't give them money, nor do I see them off.

When he said this, he heard the three armies walking in front shouting that it was not good, but he saw the three armies stop and finger their sleeves.

Liu Jiaju and Ye Huiqiong gathered to see that there was a bean-sized bird feces on his sleeve.

Liu Sanjun looked at a little bird in the sky that had already flown far away and said resentfully, Damn, if Lao Tzu has a shotgun, he has to "bang" you.

Cai Zhongsheng took out a handpaper to wipe the bird feces on his sleeves, and said in his mouth, what are you angry with a bird? You're unlucky, this bird falls from the sky, and it doesn't fall anywhere else, but on you.

Liu Sanjun took Cai Zhongsheng to a place called Liulin Village in Huguang, and initially worked in a quarry east of Liulin Village, where food and shelter were provided.

Since Liu Sanjun came from the coast, unlike most of the people in the vicinity, who left early and returned late, they also happened to need to be guarded here. The director of the quarry arranged for the couple to be on duty day and night.

Liu Sanjun recorded the number of stone vehicles during the day, calculated the price, and assisted the cashier to settle the bill to the customer; At night, the couple took turns patrolling the quarry and its vicinity or in pairs to prevent theft.

After working like this for three years, with some savings, I bought three civil structure houses in Liulin Village, including a sloping house connected to the main house as a kitchen.

Before that, a peasant family moved to the city, and the farmland in the countryside was barren for a year or two, which happened to be cultivated by Liu Sanjun for a while.

Liu Sanjun is from the coast, and his parents are in business, so naturally he has no opportunity to learn how to farm.

So, the men in the village taught him to practice helping the plow and driving the oxen, and soon he became familiar with the farming technique. But farming is not a daily thing, and the job in the quarry has not been quit, but it is no longer on duty day and night as before.

Liu Sanjun and his wife only work the day shift and go home at night, feeling much more relaxed because they shirk the safety responsibilities of patrolling the quarry at night.

But Liu Sanjun couldn't stay idle, so he bought a shotgun from his wife, and went to hunt in the Hessian forest behind the house at night.

The forest is connected with winding mountains, with overlapping peaks and mountains, deep valleys and steep cliffs, except for the fierce beasts that do not eat people, all kinds of birds and beasts hide in them, and hunt at night, and generally have a harvest.

In the early hours of one morning, Cai Zhongsheng woke up from his dream and heard a noise in the house, and the light in the next room was also on, it turned out that her husband had returned so late.

She didn't say anything, got up to relieve her hands, smelled a smell of blood, and asked her husband, why does the house smell?

Liu Sanjun was cooking noodles for supper, and replied casually, I didn't smell anything.

Cai Zhongsheng came out of the thatched latrine at the back of the slope house, walked to the middle room of the main house, and found a dead hare in the wooden basin, its fur was gray and black, and its two eyes were as dull and motionless as blood like two red beads squeezed out of the flesh.

She felt compassion, remembering that she had bought a turtle to release in the sea, and felt that this hare was also a living creature and should not be hunted, but she did not know whether it was hunted by her husband, and when she saw that there was a shotgun hanging on the wall, she understood.

She asked her husband, Sanjun, did you kill this hare? I thought you worked the night shift at the quarry, but you went into the mountains to hunt with a shotgun after work, you know? This is iniquity. Do you remember when you went to Guangzhou to buy back the turtle that gave you a dream?

Liu Sanjun wanted to refute, but when he heard this, it was like someone had grabbed his weakness, he was silent, and the noodles stuffed into his mouth stopped chewing, and he secretly reflected on whether he was wrong?

He bought the released turtle from Guangzhou because he dreamed about it, and the hare he is hunting now will dream about himself? Will it take revenge on this family and make the family uneasy? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and suddenly said to his wife, I confess my guilt!

The rabbits have all been beaten to death by you, what's the use of confessing your guilt? Cai Zhongsheng counted a few words and went back to bed.

After supper, Liu Sanjun also went to bed, the pillow was stuffed high, but he couldn't sleep.

Early in the morning, he carried the hare with blood in its mouth to the back hillside, dug a pit with a hoe, buried it, built a small grave, planted the incense and candles he had brought, and then bowed a few heads, expressed his inner repentance, and left. As he walked, he said, "Hare, I will confess your mistakes to you, and you can't blame me or take revenge on me."

As soon as he left, Qiu Decai took a digging hoe, pushed away the mound, dug the pit, took out the hare, took it back to cut the skin and remove the meat, and stewed a pot of fresh soup with flour and mushrooms.

He didn't enjoy it alone, but he made a bottle of wine, put peanuts, bamboo shoots and braised lotus root and other side dishes on the table, and asked him to come for a drink with a smile in the evening when Liu Sanjun got off work.

During the toast, Qiu Decai kept thanking Liu Sanjun, Liu Sanjun took a sip of wine and said, I should thank you! How did it turn upside down? Qiu Decai scooped a few pieces of rabbit meat with a soup spoon and put it in his bowl, still saying with a smile on his face, I didn't do it upside down, I should thank you.

Liu Sanjun smelled the fragrant rabbit meat, of course, he didn't know that this was rabbit meat, he just stuffed it into his mouth with chopsticks, and asked while eating with relish, why do you want to thank me?

Qiu Decai did not answer immediately, but stood up and took out a flashlight from his body, lit it, shone its pillar of light in the patio in front of the hall, and asked him if he saw anything.

Liu Sanjun also stood up, followed the pillar of light from the flashlight, and found a bloody fur on the stone slab of the patio, so he said, Isn't this a rabbit skin? I hunted a rabbit last night, and my mother-in-law wouldn't let me eat it, so I got up early in the morning and buried it in the back mountain.

Qiu Decai sat down and told him that the rabbit meat you eat now is the rabbit meat you buried.

Liu Sanjun stopped and asked in surprise, did you dig out the rabbit I buried out of the soil?

Qiu Decai nodded, took a sip of wine and said, Am I wrong to do this?

Liu Sanjun said, it's not wrong for you to do this, it's just out of my expectations.
