Anecdote of the Northeast

Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was destined to be a little sister for the rest of her life since she was born, is definitely the person in this family who looks forward to this new life the most. Ever since she knew she was going to be a big sister, Zhou Xiaoxiao's life centered around her pregnant mother, asking Dongwen West.

To be honest, I used to be the person with the most status in Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart. Now, the little guy hardly pays attention to me. Instead, when the time comes, he urges me to cook for my mother and brother.

Comrade Zhou Xiaoxiao wants a younger brother, the reason is that he can be raised as a follower, well, the reason is very strong, very good.

Not long after New Year's Day, our family drove my dad's new off-road vehicle and returned to our hometown in the countryside to prepare for the New Year.

By the way, the relative on the other side of the sea that my dad told me before is from my grandma's side. This time, it can be regarded as returning to the roots.

As for my grandma, she was a lady from a landlord’s family before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, uh, the kind with not-so-good background.It is also fortunate that I married my grandfather who was a five-generation poor peasant and whose whole family participated in the Anti-Japanese War, otherwise I would not be able to live a peaceful life.

My grandma, she has a brother with the same mother. Both of them were born by my aunt, and they took care of each other when they were young.That brother also participated in the War of Resistance at the time, but he served as an adjutant to a commander in Baldy's army. After liberation, he went to the other side of the sea with him.After a few years, I went to Hong Kong again. I have returned in the past two years, so I also want to return to my hometown, choose a piece of land, and die in my hometown.

The old man is 81 this year, and he is in good health. He walks around the village twice every morning. He can eat a large bowl of rice with five or six pieces of meat for each meal, and a glass of medicinal wine a day. He lives better than some young people.

When the old man came back with his family, the family had already gathered once, but I was not here. Now that I am back, I naturally want to visit.

The house in my hometown is lived by my uncle. It was completely renovated in the summer of this year. Now it is still a beautiful blue-brick and large tile-roofed house, and there is a small second floor. When we came back, there was no problem at all.

Oh, by the way, my grandma’s maiden name is Qi, and my uncle’s name is Qi Liansheng. He opened a supermarket in Hong Kong. He has only one son and two grandsons. Now the only one who is with my uncle and grandpa here is a little grandson. , called Qi Feng, who is said to be a high-achieving student from country M who just graduated.

Both of them live in my uncle's house now, but my uncle and grandpa have already selected a piece of land in the village, and they will start construction in the spring to build a house and live by themselves.

It is said that it was originally the location of a former house of his family, but it was in disrepair for a long time, and it was burned down during the exercise.

My uncle is a very elegant little old man, but probably because he was a military officer, he has a lot of momentum, if he is timid, he dare not approach him.

My uncle and grandpa obviously like Zhou Xiaoxiao very much. How can I put it, the old man is also a male member of the family, and he doesn't have a girl.

When my uncle saw me, he kindly asked me to sit next to him, and asked me about my school affairs. He was quite surprised to hear that I had worshiped the old man as a teacher.

"I went to Paris two years ago and bought a painting by Mr. Lu at that art exhibition, which is still hanging in my home. It's a pity that Mr. Lu was full of trivial matters at that time, and we didn't have a good chat. pity."

Let me go, isn't it that my uncle and grandpa run a supermarket?How big a supermarket is this, so that you can have spare money to buy the old man's paintings, which start at 50 euros.

"For the New Year, the old man took my teacher's wife abroad to see my daughter, and he won't be back until March." So, you two still won't see each other.

My uncle and grandpa nodded regretfully, and then invited me to sit with my newly baked cousin, saying that it was for us young people to get in touch with each other more.

My cousin is simply a banana man, and he will pop up a few English words from time to time when he speaks, but it can be seen that it is not intentional. It seems that he has lived abroad for a long time, and he can't change it for a while.

Although my English score is very average, I still know what the meaning is just by listening to the words. In this way, there is really no problem for the two of us to communicate.

"Hey, I'm suffocating, you don't know, cousin, whoever I talk to these days, they always don't understand, finally a few relatives next door can understand, but they don't live here, I I can't feel live at all."

I held back my sympathy for him, took him around the village, and told about my glorious deeds when I was a child. Sometimes I couldn’t understand some slang words, but I was able to translate them in English. Very good.

"Uncle is amazing, he is going to be a father again. My father has a little wife, but I don't see anything he can do."

Qi Feng's mother passed away early, but my uncle of the Qi family has never married again, but he has never lost a woman outside, and the longest one has been together for more than ten years.

Oh, this is what Qi Feng said with a big mouth. For him, these are things that have been reported by the entertainment tabloids, and there is nothing to hide.

I'm just huh, a boss who runs a small supermarket, will the entertainment tabloids take a fancy to it?

Anyway, my family didn't say that I want to take advantage of it, so who cares.

Qi Feng used to work abroad to earn pocket money and living expenses by himself. After hearing about my miserable life, he felt sympathy for me.

"Da Chuan, your paintings can be admired now, and it should be much better in the future. Would you like me to introduce you to a gallery? I have a friend who owns a gallery."

I shook my head, "No, my goal is to sign up with my old man in a place, and I'm working hard for it."

In fact, at that time, I knew that the gallery that my father signed was very famous, but I really didn't know how famous it was.

But Qi Feng knew that he accompanied my uncle and grandpa to buy the painting back then, so he was not optimistic about my goal, but he didn't hit me. Go to a Michelin restaurant in Hong Kong for dinner.

Well, this can be.

Of course, I didn't tell them that I was a magician, and no one in my family mentioned it. In their impression, having a magician in the family is a shameful thing.

Well, I've never been too embarrassed to say I'm a jerk, it feels very bad.

Anyway, the reason why I am a magic stick is to live longer, and I don't care about other things.The most important thing for me now is to wait for the time when I am [-], write a yellow form, and report the work performance of our fairy hall in heaven for a year, and I will mention my little life by the way.

My request is really not high, just let me die normally. As a good young man in the new era who does good things when he has nothing to do, this request is really not too much.

But there is still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year, I can do some things I like.

Recently, I have been painting portraits of several elderly people in my family, mainly my great-grandfather and fourth-grandfather. These two are already the only remaining two elderly people in the family. Their bodies are also declining day by day. The family members are very worried and know that The time to get together is getting less and less.

The two old men asked me to draw a family portrait of their four brothers, which stumped me. Fortunately, there are a few pictures of my grandfather and second grandfather at home. It can be used, and the four brothers are drawn in one painting.

It would be impossible to finish the work in half a month under normal circumstances, but I have a cheat, and I put myself into that mysterious state, not only improving my drawing skills, but also improving my efficiency a lot. It was a month, but it really made me rush out the painting when I was [-] years old.

Oh, by the way, my uncle and grandpa brought his grandson back to Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year, saying that he would come back after the Chinese New Year.

The thinking of the older generation is definitely not to celebrate the New Year at other people's homes.

My grandma is married, my uncle's family is the Zhou family, and it's not like the Qi family has no home, so naturally they want to celebrate the New Year with their own family.

Besides, in the new year, my aunt still thoughtfully prepared an empty room for me. There were some large items that were not commonly used in it, but after arranging it, I could pour out a place to put offerings.

As for the form, how to write this thing.I stood in front of the table with a brush in my hand for 5 minutes without writing a single word.

No way, I had no choice but to offer incense and invite the master I haven't seen for a long time.

My master is still calm and calm, and appeared in front of me with a kind expression. I think he is also very happy about the performance of the hall this year. Seeing me, he even gave me a smiling face.

But I was so worried, how to write this form.

"Happy Chinese New Year, master, the blessing of the master is like the never-old pine in the East China Sea, the merit is immeasurable, and he will ascend to immortality soon."

Auspicious words for Chinese New Year, this must never be forgotten.

"Okay, Chuan'er did a great job this year, and many of my friends praised you."

I blinked, not understanding why someone would praise me, I'm just a homebody, I don't usually go out to socialize, and I don't know any peers.

But my master didn't explain it to me, presumably in his opinion, it's not very important.

"Master, how do you write this form? I haven't written it before. Is there a template? I'll refer to it."

My master shook his head helplessly, and pointed at me, "You child, you always think of some shortcuts to make things easier, it's not good."

I scratched my head helplessly, "But master, I really don't know how to do it."

"Forget it, I'll write it, you watch it, remember it, and you will have to write it yourself in the future. By the way, didn't you get a pen, take it out, and copy the form I wrote."

In fact, this expression is like writing a letter. You can learn this if you are careful. You must use a brush to write the expression. Generally, you write red characters on yellow paper, and use black color on red paper. In this way, the expression is clear. clear.

As for the content, it is a bit like the current application report. First write the form to whom it is written, and then write the specific things in it. After that, write the hall number and seal of the hall.

The Zhangyin boy in my hall is an elder of the Hui family. This position is usually nothing, but it is very important.

It is said that some disciples went to the immortal family to fight for power, and sometimes the palm seal boy did not use seals for the table, which made it very difficult for the disciples to let go.There are no such things on my side. After all, my master is Mama Hei, who dares to cause trouble in the hall.

The form was written, and I took the time to go to the altar outside the house, light incense, and burn the form.

At the moment when the form was finished burning, I saw a man in his twenties who was calm and self-assured, in a white lapel suit, took the form and flew directly into the sky.

Uh, it is said that when submitting a letter from the sky, you need to bring some gifts for processing. As an angel, I will not go directly to fight corruption, right?

In other words, my family Tong Angel is a descendant of Qu An, is this choice correct or not? In fact, it is right to let him be the head of the punishment hall.

With my uneasy mood, I stood outside and waited for the result.

After about an hour, the incense burnt out, and the ashes of the incense took on the shape of pine branches, which seemed to be done.

Pine, that's what longevity means, right?
