Chapter 1 Holidays

From a long time ago to the present,

You're used to me,

I hurt you,

I'm leaving home today to soar in the sky.

The world outside is very exciting,

You and I are in a very helpless mood!

When I think the world outside is very exciting,

I'll take you out of the world of the old ghost.

You wait patiently at home,

I'll come back with a gift to make you happy.

When the sun sets today next year,

You'll see that I'll be back.

Today's weather is really good,

Waving his hand, he stepped into the future world.

....................................

"Okay, Qing'er, go back, don't send it!"

"Well, Brother Long, you should pay more attention to yourself on the road. Qing'er's eyes were a little red when she spoke.

"Ha Lu Ha ......" Wang Lung touched the other party's soft hair and continued: "Silly girl, I finally have the opportunity to go out to play, you should be happy for me, it's not that I don't come back, wait for me at home." ”

Qing'er didn't say anything but nodded vigorously, trying to hold back the tears and not let it fall.

"Alright, I'm leaving, girl! I'll see you next year!"

After Wang Lung finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Brother Long!"

"Huh?" Wang Lung turned his head and looked at the other party with a smile.

Qing'er took a step forward, approached Wang Lung's body, and took out an oiled paper bag from behind her and stuffed it into the other party's hand.

"What is this?" Wang Lung asked Qing'er suspiciously, after just one glance.

"It's nothing, you can open it on the road and see it. Qing'er shook her little head slightly, as if hinting at Wang Lung something.

Qing'er's action was too familiar to him, Wang Lung didn't look up, just raised his eyelids slightly and glanced into the distance, and said, "Silly girl, why are you doing so mysterious? The old ghost didn't come out at all." ”

Qing'er ignored Wang Lung's reminder and shook her little head slightly. Wang Lung didn't say anything, but squeezed his eyes at the other party, patted Qing'er's head, and turned to leave.

Wang Lung walked a few steps and didn't look back at all, just waved his hand to say goodbye to Qing'er.

He's leaving, there's a year to squander in the future, there's no Qing'er, there's no old ghost, he's alone!

"I've been chasing you for thousands of miles...... Oh, oh, oh, oh...... Oooo

Ah....... finally liberated, cool! Wang Lung was in a good mood, he was far away from his old nest, and the depression that had been suppressed for a long time was completely released at this moment.

Twenty years! It seems that Qing'er and I are driven crazy by the old ghost, and we are so careful to even send a package. Wang Lung shook his head helplessly at the same time thinking in his heart.

Soon Wang Lung recovered from his lost mood, and he knew that he would have a year to say goodbye to the old ghost.

Turning, cross-legged, raised, chest-raised, and cross-waisted Wang Lung shouted at the empty and uninhabited woods behind him: "Old ghost, worship your (nai), see you in a year!"

To hell with it, this sentence was said in his heart. After Wang Lung finished speaking, he turned around and strode forward, and his heart was constantly pondering.

One year after another, one year after another, one year after another, I am now a free man, why do you say that for a year, I have to be obedient, Lao Tzu will have fun first.

"I'm smiling, I'm smiling, hahaha......"

............

Wang Lung didn't take a few steps and suddenly stood up and lowered his head in thought: "The old ghost asked me to come out to play for a year, and I didn't specify where to go, where should I go?"

"Damn, this is a very serious problem, you must plan well, Lao Tzu has lived so much, he has never been anywhere else except Muchuan County, and he doesn't know where to go, what can I do?" Wang Lung began to mutter.

"Damn, what the hell, the old ghost doesn't point to a place......"

After pondering for a long time, Wang Lung didn't have a good idea, but he figured it out a little: "Hehe, fortunately, the old ghost doesn't have a designated place, or where he goes, the old guy can know the way, and he will be caught by the old immortal in less than a year, and he will play with a hair!"

Wang Lung has been to very few places, and his limited memory bank can be written on two sheets of paper.

Squatting on the ground and pulling with a branch for a long time without thinking of any good place, Wang Lung broke the branch directly and sighed: "Oh! Damn, I don't want to, it doesn't matter where I go, as long as I don't go anywhere by the old ghost." ”

Wang Long's mind was relatively simple, he stood up again, patted the dust on his hands, and continued to walk forward.

After running along the road for more than two hours, there was Muchuan County in front of me.

Wang Lung covered his forehead with his hand, looked at the sun above his head, and thought, "It's time to make lunch at home!"

It's okay if you don't want to eat it, but when you think about it, you have the urge to protest.

Wang Lung patted his belly, which was about to call, and said to himself: "Damn, useless guy, I can't resist the thought of eating you!"

Maybe his stomach hurt a little, Wang Lung stroked his belly and comforted himself: "People are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, eating is a natural thing, why can't I get along with my stomach?"

After looking around, he didn't find any food nearby, but Wang Lung thought of something that excited him. "Hehe, Lao Tzu is free now, I don't have to eat Qing'er's food anymore, let me see that turtle son is not pleasing to the eye in the future, catch him and let him eat the food that Qing'er has cooked for more than ten years, hum ......!"

Alas, the old ghost is a door-picker, let Lao Tzu come out to play and don't spend any change, do you want Lao Tzu to directly join the beggar gang to experience a year of begging life?

Qing'er was still kind to me and secretly stuffed me with this package, I guess it must be money inside. It must be Xiao Nizi's private money that has been liked for more than ten years, hehe, open it and take a look, it should be enough for me to spend this year!

Wang Lung carefully opened the oiled paper bag in his hand.

"Damn, there's another layer, damn, why aren't you so tight with MiMi's bag~"

When the last layer of oiled paper packet was opened, Wang Lung wanted to die.

"Qing'er, this stupid girl, she has saved more than ten years of pocket money every day, she is so moved, woo woo ......"

"One, two, five......" The most in the whole pile of money is a penny.

"Hey, there's Zhang Yijiao here, woo...... Qing'er, you're so cute!"

"Ah......h、,.......h ”

Putting away the change all over the ground, Wang Lung finally counted a total of 17 yuan, 8 cents and 4 cents.

"Qing'er, you just play me to death, what are you doing with this little money? I guess no one will pick it up when I throw it on the street. Wang Lung shouted depressedly, "Hey, my poor Qing'er, it's not easy to save all this private money under the nose of the old ghost, an iron rooster." ”

"Dead old ghost...... , let me come out to play, and don't give me money, hum, you think you can stump me like this, you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust. Wang Lung put the oil paper bag back away and strode towards the county seat.

Muchuan is the nearest county seat to Wang Long's family, and the necessities of life that his family usually needs are purchased from a county store called 'Guohua Grocery'. After more than ten years of old relationship, he is very familiar with the boss Niu and his wife in the grocery store, and the last time Wang Lung came to Boss Niu's house was more than a month ago.

Don't look at Boss Niu's surname is Niu, but he is not as sturdy as a cow, and his hemp rod-like figure doesn't know if Lu Dao was squeezed dry by his wife.

Boss Niu's big name is Niu Guohua, and the Guohua grocery store is named after him.

It is said that Boss Niu had a fight with movie star Zheng Zeshi before he got married, and then looking at the current appearance, Gong Hanlin sighed a little hopefully.

The grocery store is not too busy today, Niu Guohua is staring at the TV with both eyes at this time.

Don't look at Boss Niu looking demented all day long, his mouse eyes are thieves, Wang Lung has been locked by him before he enters the door of the store.

"One...... Two...... Don't let me count to three, take your dog's paws away, don't block me from watching TV, and if you don't take them away, I'll chop off your paws to make sauce and pig's trotters to eat." Boss Niu said as he pulled Wang Long's hand aside.

"Andy (don't get me wrong, this is not called Andy Lau, this is Wang Long's affectionate name for Niu Guohua), come on, don't disgust me, just the three versions of the Korean TV series, you are embarrassed to watch it, you have the kung fu to watch more "Bright Sword", where is "Breaking through the Guandong", scrubbing and washing your foreign brain, just your emotional intelligence, when you put aside the Anti-Japanese War, you must be a traitor. Wang Lung took advantage of the other party's inattention to snatch the remote control on the table.

The TV was turned off directly by Wang Lung with a remote control.

"Well, I said you stinky boy, what are you doing? Give me the remote control, I'm ......"

Boss Niu said that he was going to grab the remote control in Wang Lung's hand, just his body? How could he grab Wang Lung, and I didn't see any movement in Wang Lung's right hand, the remote control quickly turned from the right hand to the left hand, and with a slight ride, the remote control fell smoothly on Wang Lung's feet as if it was controlled, and the left foot poked into the bottom of the shelf, and when it was retracted, the remote control was gone.

It seems to be a bland pass but surprisingly fast, if you take the watch and pinch it, it will not take more than a second at most.

Before Niu Guohua could react, the remote control evaporated.

Looking at Wang Lung's gloating appearance, Niu Guohua shook his head helplessly. He has become numb, as long as he has seen Wang Lung in the past ten years, he is a cup, and he has never taken any advantage of the other party.

"Yes, if you don't watch it, you won't watch it, and some people will be called traitors and traitors! Hmph! There will be a replay in the afternoon, I'll watch it when you're gone." The last sentence was said by Niu Guohua in his heart.

Wang Lung stared at Niu Guohua with a wicked smile and said, "I don't stop talking about you, even your IQ can only watch this kind of bad movie." Okay, you can take a look when I'm gone!

"Fifty catties of flour are on the shelf behind the door, and ten catties of grain and oil are ......," Niu Guohua said casually.

"Control the ......" Wang Lung was afraid that the other party would continue to talk endlessly, so he immediately stretched out his hand and made a 'stop' gesture and put it in front of Niu Guohua's eyes: "I'm not here to get these things today, I'm here to send you money." ”

"Send money?" Niu Guohua asked slightly stunned.

Wang Lung nodded very casually, but Niu Guohua looked at each other with wide eyes, looked at it for a moment, slowly stretched out his right hand and put it on his forehead to try, and then gently reached out to Wang Lung's forehead and touched it for a while and said, "Don't burn!"

"What are you doing, Lao Tzu never knew what a fever was, are you stupid?"

Niu Guohua is now full of questions, thinking that this kid is like a monkey on the mountain, only he has let others suffer losses and be fooled, so he has never been generous and sent me money?

Niu Guohua wanted to quietly see what kind of play Wang Lung was playing, but he didn't have the patience of the other party, and quickly threw out his doubts to Wang Lung: "Xiaolong, I remember that you have never taken anything from me on credit in the past ten years, and I have never lent you any money, although I am a small business, but I can barely do it, and I have never asked the old man to borrow money, what kind of money did you give me?"

Wang Lung seemed unhurried at this time, whistled, folded his hands behind his back, walked slowly to the small table at the door in three steps, shook five steps and swayed, and pulled a horse to sit up: "Andy, have you eaten? ”

Boss Niu has long been accustomed to Wang Long's dialogue with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and thought: "This kid has never been passing by, and I guess this is another call for me." ”

took out a few plates of side dishes and two bottles of beer from the refrigerator, put them on the small table, and said while opening the beer: "You kid still invited me to dinner, it's good if you don't eat me poor, what's the matter, I was scolded by the old man again?"

In the past ten years, every time Wang Lung came to Muchuan County, if there was nothing serious, he would definitely follow Qing'er behind his buttocks, and if he came by himself, he would be scolded by the old man, which has become an immutable law.

This time, Niu Guohua's law reasoning failed completely, and when Wang Lung told the other party about the old ghost letting him take a one-year vacation, Niu Guohua's big mouth didn't close for a long time.

watched Wang Lung frantically sweep the food on the table, and when Niu Guohua came back to his senses, there was not much left on the table.

Niu Guohua hurriedly raised the chopsticks in his hand and knocked on the back of Wang Long's hand: "Damn, leave some for me, I haven't eaten a bite yet." Niu Guohua grabbed two chopsticks and continued: "When is this happening, you kid is still like a person who has nothing to do, don't you think about why the old man let you out?"

Wang Lung didn't care about Boss Niu at all, and his two greedy eyes and hard-working hands cooperated seamlessly.

With a "bang", Wang Lung patted his bulging belly and stood up and said, "I'm full, you eat slowly!"

"Hey...... Alas, I ...... I'm, tell you to leave me some, you're a pig. Damn, I haven't eaten yet!" Boss Niu roared as he looked at the empty plates on the table full of grievances.

Wang Lung looked at Niu Guohua with disdain, squinted his eyes slightly and frowned: "I drank too much beer, I am urgent!"

Boss Niu glared at Wang Lung who ran away viciously, and his face turned green with anger: "Damn, follow the kid to be angry, I have to live ten years less! I want to see what money this kid can give me, I can't take it out, be careful of my ......"

Niu Guohua himself didn't think about how to clean up Wang Lung next, he felt that as long as he was not cheated by the other party, Wang Lung loved it.

Looking at the empty plates on the table, Niu Guohua reluctantly stood up and walked to the refrigerator again, and took out a bottle of beer and a plate of side dishes from it again.

As the saying goes, "a daughter-in-law of thirty years becomes a mother-in-law" Niu Guohua and Wang Lung have been dealing with each other for more than ten years, and they must learn to leave a way back for themselves, otherwise they will ......
