Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 2 Luck and evil spirits

   At mid-sunset, the main hall of the Zhu family was fully staffed and dinner was ready. The main reason for the Zhu family to have dinner at this time is to take advantage of the dawn without wasting oil, and to take advantage of God's advantage.

  A large table was set up in the middle of the landlord’s house in the Zhu family, and the Zhu family sat around this large table. The old man of the Zhu family was over half a hundred years old, with a strong body, sitting in the middle of the table, holding a dry cigarette in his hand, a pile of boiled peanuts in front of him, a glass of turbid wine beside him, and steamed buns on the table. Rotten vegetable leaves, pickled vegetables and gruel form a stark contrast.

   Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Liu, sitting next to Mr. Zhu, Mrs. Liu and Mr. Zhu are about the same age, with wrinkles on their faces, but they are clean and tidy, and they are not easy to get along with. Sitting next to the old lady Zhu is the family of the fourth uncle. The fourth uncle Zhu Shouxin and the fourth aunt Zhao just got married this year. The fourth uncle has the potential of a little boy, and his looks are almost the best in the Zhu family. He has perfectly inherited the genes of the old lady Zhu, and he is very much loved by the old lady. The fourth aunt was wearing a brand-new skirt, her hair was combed in a bun that was popular in the town, she wore a silver hairpin, and she wore a string of valuable silver studs on her earlobe.

Sitting next to Mr. Zhu is Uncle Zhu Ping'an's family. Uncle Zhu Shouren is a middle-aged man. He wears a half-new long gown, with a bun on the top of his head and a net towel wrapped around it. Feel. Next to her is her eldest aunt Wu, who is about the same age as her uncle, wearing a half-new pair of blue flower breasts, and neatly tidied up. In Wu's arms is their belated six-year-old son Zhu Pingjun, rolled in brand-new clothes. Mud, runny nose, black paws.

Then there are Zhu Pingan's parents in this life, his father Zhu Shouyi, with a strong bronze complexion, a typical farmer, but these days Zhu Pingan also knows that his cheap father can be said to be all-rounder, good at hunting and carpentry , farming is still a good hand, but the character is very honest, it can be said to be dull. Zhu Pingchuan's eldest brother, Zhu Pingchuan, is ten years old this year. He is almost a copy of his father Zhu Shouyi, strong and honest.

  The third uncle is very similar to his father, he is an honest farmer at a glance, and the third aunt is Zhang who persuaded Chen at the door just now. The third uncle and the third aunt had been married for many years, and only after three years of marriage did they have a daughter, the timid little girl Zhu Pingyu in the arms of the third aunt.

  There are a lot of right and wrong in small farmyards.

  Uncle Zhu Shouren is a scholar. Although he has not passed the examination for more than ten years, he is still a child. Scholars who read the Four Books and Five Classics must pass the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination in order to obtain the title of scholar. Uncle Zhu Shouren concentrated on reading books, not farming and mulberry production. After more than ten years of examinations, he passed the county and government examinations six years ago, and was awarded the title of Tongsheng. , took a start. Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu valued their eldest son very much, thinking that he was the hope of the Zhu family's glorious ancestors, especially after their uncle Zhu Shouren got a child, they preferred the uncle's family even more. The fourth uncle is the youngest son, and the old lady Zhu spoils him so much, she even spoils the little fourth aunt. As for the father and third uncle's family, they don't have to care too much. Some are valued, some are favored, and some are not cared about. When the whole family is together, there will be less right and wrong.

The preference between the old man and the old lady is still obvious. It can be seen from the clothes alone. The clothes of the fourth room of the Zhu family are very different. It's rough clothes and patches.

  It seems that I have to work hard, not to mention Guangzong Yaozu, at least let my family live well.

As soon as he walked into the house with short legs, Zhu Pingan saw a strange phenomenon. Everyone in the Zhu family had a white air column above their heads. The white air column above the head of the uncle Zhu Shouren was thicker than the others, but they were all white. of.

  The sudden phenomenon surprised Zhu Pingan, and he shook his head quickly. When he closed his eyes and opened his eyes again, the strange phenomenon disappeared, everyone returned to normal, and the white column of air could no longer be seen.

  Strange, what happened just now, it was definitely not dizziness just now, it is impossible for my eyesight to have problems, why is it a bit like the luck written in the novel, could it be that I can see the luck of others? It is very strange to be reborn through time travel, and it makes sense to be able to see other people's luck, but why can't I see other people's luck now? !

"Why are you standing there stupidly, why don't you come over to eat?" Mother Chen saw Zhu Pingan standing at the door in a daze, and couldn't help reminding, silly boy, if you don't come again, your eccentric grandmother will give your share to the eldest brother and the fourth one. home!

   "Oh, here we come." Zhu Pingan quickly regained his composure and responded. Forget it, seeing other people's luck is weird, and it's normal for me to not be able to figure it out for a while.

  Before eating, Zhu Pingan still maintained the habit of his previous life, running to the washbasin with short legs to wash his hands.

   This is a bit strange in the ancient rural areas where hygiene was not very important, especially the little boys in the village are all like mud monkeys. For example, Zhu Pingjun from the uncle’s family is now sniffing his nose in the arms of his uncle Wu. Ever since Zhu Ping'an came to this life and became this little boy, he insisted on washing his hands and face. After more than ten days, he has become completely different from those little kids with runny noses. A white kid with a thick head and a thick head is quite eye-catching. .

   "This kid, after recovering from illness, has become very clean. He must be possessed by evil spirits." The fourth aunt covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at Zhu Ping'an with a pair of narrow eyes, making a fuss in her little mouth.

Bewitched?

Zhu Pingan was obviously taken aback by his fourth aunt. In such a closed and backward rural village, it is very dangerous to be suspected of being possessed by evil spirits. Know! I've been very careful, I didn't show any thoughts of transcending time and space, just washing my hands, the little fourth aunt is really a restless woman, and she is really a perfect match with my idle fourth uncle.

  Zhu Ping'an made up his mind that he would be absolutely tight-lipped about seeing luck, and not tell anyone.

  For the fourth aunt, before Zhu Pingan could figure out how to deal with it, his mother, Mrs. Chen, quit!

"Who do you say is bewitched? I think you are the bewitched. My son is a little bit more clean and he is bewitched. What about you, who washes his hands every day and wears new clothes? Isn't that a vixen possessed?" At Xiao Zhao's words, nameless anger rose in Chen's heart, he stood up abruptly and took two steps forward, standing in front of Xiao Zhao, asking her to give an explanation.

   Zhu Pingchuan's ten-year-old brother Zhu Pingchuan also said that his younger brother would not be bewitched by evil spirits.

"Mother, look at the second sister-in-law and the others. I just said something casually, and the second sister-in-law is like this." Xiao Zhao avoided Chen's gaze, turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhu aggrievedly, and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, looking Weak and pitiful.

"That's it? I'm just telling you that you are crying like this. It's really contrived. It's a pity that I'm not the fourth brother, so I don't like you! The fourth family, you must make it clear today, otherwise I don't want to." Mrs. Chen didn't follow Mrs. Zhao's style, and spoke coldly, full of heroic spirit, which was the complete opposite of the fourth aunt who pretended to be soft and pitiful.
