Chen Tang had a very sad day, if Su Ling hadn't come back at noon to cook and ask him to eat, he wouldn't have been willing to get up from bed.

After washing the handle, I just sat down when someone outside the door shouted: "Don't be discreet, are you not at home?"

Listening to the familiar voice, when he walked out to take a look, Chen Tang immediately recognized it: Wang Fu.

Wang Fu is a talent from the neighboring village, and he is Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today. However, he, like Chen Tang, was admitted last year, which is equivalent to "the same year". And because each other's villages are adjacent to each other, and their family backgrounds are similar, they have a great relationship and often come and go.

"No, it's fine for you to be at home, but I'm worried that you can't find anyone if you work in Hujiazhuang. ”

Wang Fu was tall and thin, with a sallow face, a sparse beard, and a gray robe.

Compared with Chen Tanglai, his life is even more difficult, because he has already been married, has two children at home, and the family has to eat every day.

Fortunately, Wang Fu has a stable job in Fucheng, and works as a bookkeeper in Sihailou, with a monthly salary of 500 yuan, barely able to support his family.

Chen Tang replied: "I don't work in Hujiazhuang anymore. ”

Wang Fu was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't ask much and sighed secretly. I thought that Chen Tang must have been fired, a good job, just gone, and no one was happy. Chen Tang has nothing to do, and his family must be so poor that he can't open the pot......

Huh, what is this?

After entering the house, Wang Fu looked up and saw a small table inside, with two dishes on the table, one was green vegetables, and the other was pork fried sprouts.

Seeing this, Wang Fu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

These days, it's not easy to eat meat. Although he works in Sihailou, he usually eats frugally, and he eats a lot of meat when he sees people, but he can eat once or twice a month.

To be precise, it's two or three pieces of meat at a time, how can you fill a big plate like this and eat it casually?

"Brother Wang, hello. ”

Su Ling got up and saluted.

For Su Ling, Wang Fu also knows. For a while, he was a little confused about the situation, and said in his heart: Could it be that Chen Tang made some money in Hujiazhuang, so he spent it lavishly?

Chen Tang didn't explain, and asked, "Brother Qingyang, have you eaten?"

Wang Fu, the word "Qingyang".

"Oh, not yet. ”

"Ah Ling, go add a pair of chopsticks. ”

There are extra dishes and chopsticks at home, and there are also stools, together with this small table, which are all moved from Su Ling's house, which is equivalent to adding furniture and making do with it.

As for the rice, Su Ling now cooks a lot of each meal, so it is enough.

Wang Fu's meal was not large, one bowl was enough, but he aimed at the meat to clamp it, and ate several pieces, so that his cheeks bulged. A big bowl of broth, also gurgling and drinking into the stomach.

After the meal, I burped and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

Chen Tang smiled and asked, "Brother Qingyang came to me, is there anything wrong?"

Wang Fu said: "Have you forgotten? Tomorrow on the fifteenth, we have to go to Mangniuling to return to God." ”

Hearing this, Chen Tang was stunned, and quickly remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

Mangniuling is located in the southwest of Panzhou Prefecture, two hours away from Chenjiazhuang, and you have to hire an ox cart to get there.

Mangniuling Mountain is not high, but the mountains and rivers are beautiful, there is a mountain temple in the mountains, it is quite effective, and it has always been deeply incense worship.

On the eve of the children's test last year, Chen Tang and Wang Fu went to the mountain temple to pray to the gods and made a wish, saying that as long as the mountain gods blessed them and let them be admitted to Xiucai, they would kill pigs and chickens and worship the mountain gods in the coming year. Later, the two were really admitted, and after discussion, they set a day for tomorrow on the fifteenth day and went to the mountain temple together to return to God.

Chen Tang patted his head: "I've been busy with things these days, and I almost forgot." ”

Wang Fu said: "So I came here today to discuss with you, to order three animals in advance, hire ox carts, etc. ”

Chen Tang didn't care much about these things, but after thinking about it, this time and space are different, there are abnormal things, gods and the like, who knows what mysterious cause and effect there will be?

Immediately said: "Brother Qingyang, you are familiar with these things, so I will leave it to you to handle, calculate how much money I have to pay." ”

Wang Fu calculated 1510 in person, and in the end, each person had to make up nearly 200 yuan.

This is not a small amount, Wang Fu himself calculated, it was a little painful. However, this money, he has been accumulating since the boys' trial list last year, and he has saved enough so far.

It's Chen Tang......

Wang Fu was very worried that he would not be able to take it out, in that case, Wang Fu would have to return to God alone, and there would be no one to share it, so the cost would have to increase somewhat.

Compared with Chen Tang, Wang Fu is very concerned about returning to God, and he must go. Because he took the test five times, and finally passed last year, in his mind, he felt that it must be the result of the blessing of the mountain god.

"Two Hundred Dollars ......"

Chen Tang groaned.

Wang Fu gritted his teeth and said, "No, if you are worse, I can lend you some to make up for it first." ”

"Hehe, no need, two hundred dollars is two hundred dollars. ”

Chen Tang said, took out two big coins from the money bag, and handed them to Wang Fu.

Wang Fu took it, and his heart was relieved, Chen Tang could come up with the money himself, that was the best thing.

The two talked a little more, and Wang Fu said goodbye and left, going to handle all kinds of trivial matters. He works in Sihailou, which is a big restaurant in Panzhou Mansion, and Wang Fu is quite familiar with procurement and other things.

gave two hundred dollars at once, and Chen Tang's pocket became light again. It's a lie to say that it's not distressing. But since he experienced the teacher's grudge, he has become a little suspicious in his heart, if he doesn't return to God, let the mountain god get a cause and effect or something, and get into trouble, it will be even more troublesome. It's better to spend money to buy peace, but this matter. After all, two hundred dollars, for now, is still within the range he can afford.

At night, sitting on the bed, Chen Tang continued to start exercising.

The second time, the qi still did not rush through the water hole, and it was gone. However, this time the sequelae were not so tired, and the next morning I got up, washed up, and had breakfast, and Wang Fu came to call.

With the funds in place, Wang Fu was very efficient in doing things, and handled all affairs properly. The ox cart parked at the entrance of the village was loaded with half a cart, three livestock steamed buns, incense candles, and so on, which dazzled people to see.

Chen Tang didn't care, and got in the car with Wang Fu.

"The two showmen sit tight!"

The driver was a simple man, from the same village as Wang Fu, called "Wang Xiaowu", holding a bamboo whip in his hand, and with a smack, he made a false sound, and the sturdy buffalo pulled up the car, walked around, and went to Mangniuling.
