The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Chapter 243 Discovering the Talisman Paper

He picked up the clean clothes he had prepared in advance, put them on and shouted outside, "I'm right there."

Everyone was dressed neatly, even neater than during Chinese New Year. The house had been cleaned in advance and was very bright.

At this time, Ni'er's family was already busy making final preparations for the housewarming ceremony.

All the windows are opened and the bamboo water pipes are unplugged, symbolizing prosperity and a long-lasting flow of money.

The auspicious time was approaching, and the third brother pushed open the gate of the courtyard and wanted to hang up firecrackers, but found that someone had pasted talisman paper on the door.

Who could have done this? He frowned. It was such an important day, but it made him feel uncomfortable.

I turned my head towards the old lady, wondering if it was my mother who did it. But she had been lying on the kang for a hundred days after her broken bones were healed. How did she find the fortune teller to buy the talisman and then stick it here? If it wasn't her, who else could it be?

Yan Zi felt that something was wrong with the third brother. Why was he standing there motionless? Was he still asleep so early in the morning? "Hang it up quickly, don't miss the auspicious time."

"I'm hanging up now."

The third brother tore off the talisman paper directly and prepared to light it when he set off firecrackers. It is said that setting off firecrackers can drive away evil spirits, and those unclean things will not dare to come when they hear the sound, so it should also be effective for the talisman paper.

Looking around, everyone else was busy with their own things and just didn't pay attention to this side. I couldn't let others see me and affect their good mood.

Others were holding things in their hands and putting them on the ground outside, waiting to set off firecrackers. Once they went out and came back in, they could not go in empty-handed.

The third brother picked up a lit incense stick and brought it close to the thread. Unexpectedly, he failed to light it after several attempts. Several people who had covered their ears put down their hands, and the excitement on Niu Li's face also dimmed.

The third brother couldn't help but think of the talisman paper this morning. His heart skipped a beat and he turned to comfort the others, "It's okay. We still have one more."

Fortunately, I bought two strings of firecrackers at the beginning. I wanted to save some money and only bought one string. I was afraid that such a situation would happen, so I prepared one extra one. Now it comes in handy.

Replaced with a new one, and this time successfully lit the twister.

Several people covered their ears and ran away. Yan Zi was heavy, so she stayed away from them from the beginning.

Looking at the two children laughing, playing, running and jumping, I felt that I must have been crazy before. Why didn’t I separate earlier? I wish they could be this happy forever.

The choking smell of firecrackers filled the air, white smoke from the burning fireworks was everywhere, and red debris covered the ground, making it look very festive.

While no one was paying attention, the third brother lit the talisman paper with the remaining incense, threw it on the ground, and crushed it with his feet.

The third brother pushed open the gate, put the ladder on the ground, and smiled happily. His hands waved involuntarily, and he shouted, "Step by step, we will rise higher and higher."

Yan Zi opened the door of the inner room carrying a few bags of candies and snacks and placed them on the table. "From now on, our lives will be sweet, happy and blissful."

Nier held a string of coins in her hand, entered the house, and piled them on the table. The golden, heavy coins were so attractive that people couldn't take their eyes off them. "Money comes from all directions."

Soon after that Niu Li came in, swaying from side to side with small steps, carrying two baskets, one filled with rice, flour, grain and oil, the other with a few eggs. Seeing this, the third brother hurriedly took over and helped put them on the table. Now the table was really full and it looked really festive.

"No worries about food and clothing, a happy life, and a great harvest."

"Haha, good point."

When the third brother heard these words, he couldn't hide his joy and the corners of his mouth were almost pointing to the sky.

Niu Li looked at the candy on the table, licked his lips, and looked in the direction of the third brother, thinking that this time he could finally eat it.

He picked up a few candies and stuffed one into everyone's hand. "It counts only if you eat them sweetly."

This time the third brother did not stop Niu Li and put the candy into his mouth immediately. The taste was different from the candy he usually put in his meals. This one was indeed more delicious and indeed more expensive.

"Really delicious."

Ni'er had never eaten such delicious candy in her life, and her eyes narrowed.

Seeing Yan Zi trying to get something to spit out the candy and wrap it up, I quickly stopped her.

"No one is allowed to spit it out and save it for next time. There are still so many. Wait until you finish eating before buying more."

This person is the worm in my stomach, Yan Zi looked at the third brother with a smile.

"Oh, now you're speaking so harshly."

"If you buy more after you finish eating, others will think you are rich and can eat as much candy as you want."

The third brother hugged Ni'er and stuffed a piece of candy into her hand.

"It's because I have a precious daughter that I can speak so confidently."

My father had to involve me in the conversation with my mother. My face turned a little red, my eyes rolled around, and I stretched my neck to look at the sky outside.

"Please clear the table. There will be no place to put the food later. Let's make breakfast."

The third brother then let go of his hand. Ni'er turned her shoulders and moved the place where she had been pressed. It might be because she had been eating well recently, and she was in high spirits because of the good things happening, so she felt that her father's hand was getting stronger.

The ceremony was over, but they didn't delay their business. After breakfast, Ni'er and Lao San went about their business, while Niu Li and Yan Zi waited at home for their aunt to come and help.

On the way to her master's house, Nier heard a conversation between two people passing by.

"You should stock up on some food."

"Why, why would I hoard food?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Just stock up. My relative is in Niujia Village. He told me that the village head has notified every household in Niujia Village. It's better to be prepared."

"Besides, they all buy it, so don't regret it when food prices go up."

"That's true. I'll go buy the things later."

Sure enough, the head of the village notified the news, and even people from other villages knew about it. Nier frowned. This was a serious matter, so wasn't it a bit unfair to only inform people in her own village? Although she couldn't guarantee what would happen in the future, as the man just said, it was better to be prepared.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if it’s not a formal notification. Just letting relatives and neighbors know more about it can also have some effect.

I'll go back and discuss it with the village head to see if this method is feasible. After all, he has more experience.

The third brother was driving the donkey cart, thinking about the talisman paper on the door today. Who could have done it? If only he hadn't locked up the ingot yesterday, maybe he could have woken it up at that time and not locked it up in the future.

The last time my mother admitted to throwing dog blood, she was arrested and taken to the yamen that day. Fortunately, she escaped danger and even got the calligraphy of the county magistrate. It seems that thing is not very effective.

Even so, the thought of it still makes me feel as sick as if I had swallowed a fly.

There are many people in the village who are dissatisfied with their family's prosperity, but the only one who is so blatant and willing to spend money to buy talisman paper is the mother.

If you question them, they will definitely not admit it. You have to be careful, as they might reveal their true colors.
