debt repayment

Hearing this, the old lady smiled.

My child, our place is so poor that we can only see boundless mountains. For many years, we have not seen a few officials, bosses, and living gods passing by. People are alive, but they see endless mountains and endless soil every day, and occasionally fly in the sky. A few more birds, a few more cats in the village, what can I wish for?

If there is, I would like to have more food for the family, preferably rice, not chaff from other people's houses.If a capable daughter-in-law is more gentle, I will be happy after giving birth to a big fat grandson for our old Chen family.

... My poor son, I haven't been able to get out of bed by myself for many years, and I just hope that he won't walk ahead of me.Tell me, can you make this kind of idea come true for me?

The boy thought about it.

The old woman said, child, God doesn't care about this kind of thing. Is your waist thicker than God?Come, drink a bowl of bran to fill your stomach.I see that you don't have rough skin on your body, and you don't do rough work, so you must not be used to it.But something is better than nothing, people, you have to eat to live.

She whispered, drink it quickly, if my daughter-in-law finds out that I added half a spoonful to you, she will be unhappy again.

The young man looked at her silently, then at the notched bowl next to his mouth, lowered his head, and drank the mixed hard and soft chaff into his stomach little by little.

What this thing tastes like, the old lady knows herself.The rice in the family is provided to the daughter-in-law who has to share most of the work, and the rest is given to the son. She is an old thing, and she has suffered all her life and is of little use. Naturally, she is used to it.There is not enough firewood and fire at home, and the porridge I cook is hard to swallow, let alone the old grains.This bran is only stronger than pig food, half-cooked is the hardest to swallow, and it grinds your teeth and throat.Holding her own bowl, she squatted at the door of the house and looked at the cloudless Huang Tian. From a babbling girl to an old woman who couldn't straighten up, she silently swallowed the chaff of her whole life.If you really can't eat bran, you can tear a few pieces of bark from the tree in front of your house, and you can eat it casually.

The young man has a pure heart, his face is like a blank paper that can change its content at any time, and all the emotions in his heart are written on it.

...he had never eaten anything so unpalatable.

He chewed the food in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging, and his brows were slightly wrinkled.Seeing him like this, the old woman smiled.

I'm sorry, boy, but I have nothing else to entertain you.When you can move around, go quickly, don't suffer anymore.

The young man remained silent, and swallowed the contents of his mouth forcibly, his eyes sparkling.

grandmother.

He said in a muffled voice, I have nowhere to go, so just reward me with half a bowl of chaff every day.I can work, you teach me to work in the fields, go up the mountain to cut firewood, and I will work for your family.

The old woman was shocked: You child, why have no place to go?What a wonderful place outside the mountain, are you out of your mind?

If it's broken, they don't want me anymore, the young man smiled, grandma, let me live here, even if you use me as a livestock, if your daughter-in-law can't give birth to a big fat boy, you can treat me as your own grandson Yes.

Seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion, the old woman urged her daughter-in-law to drive this mouth out, so she had to explain his intentions to her daughter-in-law.

Immortals are really easy to deceive!Isn't this kind of young master the master of eating and drinking?Are you feeding the kittens and puppies in front of the door?I can't even afford to support my own son, why do you want to support another family's son?

The daughter-in-law's face was drawn long, pointing to the young man who put on her husband's sackcloth and said: "You can either make a name for yourself, or you can go as far as you can, and we won't leave a drop of water in our pot for you!"

Don't worry, the boy said, I will definitely improve your family's situation and let the old grandma have rice porridge to drink.

He went out with his daughter-in-law to learn how to plow the land for a day, and before the sun rose the next day, before the rooster came out of the nest, he went out of the old woman's house alone with a hoe on his shoulders.

In the evening, when he came back, he carried firewood on his back and a few rabbits on his waist.He was not tall, and after a serious illness, he was as haggard as a half-dead young willow. He walked back slowly with a branch twice his height on his back.

Is there enough firewood?In this way, there will be no uncooked bran, right?

I can't grow the food in the ground in one day, so I use the meat first.Is this a hall of fame?

I stay at your house, and I guarantee that you will have meat to eat every day, and you will be able to conceive a child after your body is recuperated.Grandma doesn't need to eat bran or bark, do you think I can do it well?

Do you think it's okay for me to stay at your house like this and do things for your house?Can it be done?

The daughter-in-law nodded her head like a pounding garlic: Cheng Chengcheng, you just stay with my family.

After all, there is no one in the old woman's family who is agile enough to hunt, and they can't exchange rice and cloth with the hunters in the village, so they rarely taste fresh game.The daughter-in-law made trouble with a few rabbits that were still warm, and the boy easily skinned them and took care of them.

That night, the whole family was as rich as the Chinese New Year.

Grandma, do you think my good grandson is doing well?

At night, the boy secretly grabbed the old woman by the corner of her clothes and asked cautiously.His eyes are big, round and wet, like a puppy clinging to its master.

Well, boy, you are really capable. I have lived my whole life, and I have never seen you so godlike.You are really my good grandson, come, let grandma hug you.

From then on, day after day, the boy brought game back every day, the food at home got better and better, and the harvest in the field also flourished. Their family really lived a life with porridge and rice for everyone. Good day for porridge.

Maybe it's because life has hope, and the daughter-in-law often smiles at home and knows how to love her in-laws.The woman who had spoken ill to her in the past was like a nightmare that never really existed, drifting away with the more and more fragrant meat oil smell in the pot.

This winter, the old Chen family ushered in two more happy events.One is that the daughter-in-law is finally pregnant, and the other is that the son, who has been bedridden all year round, is able to stand up by himself and walk ten meters and eight meters.

This is really God's eyes, and with a yawn, the wind of good fortune blows over their family, making the family have a good life.

The boy still rises at sunrise and sleeps at night, no matter the rain or the wind.The most important thing for the old woman right now is to replace the daughter-in-law to do the housework.The daughter-in-law's stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and if she makes a mistake, she will die twice. How can she let her grandson suffer this crime?That's why she took in all the things she could do for her, just like she did when she was young.

Occasionally, when there was no shortage of food or firewood at home, the old woman would persuade the boy to stay at home and chat with her grandma, but the boy shook his head and insisted on going out to work.The daughter-in-law was quite satisfied with this, and said bluntly, this fool simply built a shed outside and lived in it. If you need money, ask him to borrow it, and if you run out of food, let him grow it. Aren't we happy?

The old woman was silent for a few seconds, then frowned and said: "No, it's not kind."The child of the family is willing to help our family. It is because the God of Fortune manifests his pity on us. How can we treat him like this?

You are stupid, this kid plows half an acre of land, cuts half a frame of firewood, and kills two more rabbits. The final benefits will all fall to our family. The harder he works, the better.It doesn't matter if you don't die from exhaustion.With such a good fool following you, the good life of our family will have no head!You are also an old man, and your mind is confused. Why can't I explain such a simple truth to you?

The daughter-in-law rolled her eyes, sat down at the door of the house with a ponytail, teased the cat, hummed a little song, and lived happily ever after.

The old woman silently thought that as soon as she heard the words "old and immortal", she would suddenly realize that the world where she used to only drink chaff and the world where rice and meat are served at every meal , there is actually no difference.

Gradually, other families in the village also heard about the good luck brought by the young man, and they rushed forward, dragging the young man to touch their own hoe and touch their own bowl, just to get a glimpse of the glory of the living god.

Whenever someone came to the door and said bluntly that he wanted to get rid of poverty and become rich, the young man would just smile and go over to take a look.For most of the rest of the time, he only focused on the ground of the old woman's house.

As the old lady praised, he is very spiritual, like a god of good fortune.A village woman who is dying of illness, a child who is seriously ill... It seems that he will be cured by touching them lightly.As long as he walks in and sits down to drink two cups of tea, this family will surely encounter rare things in the past few days.

Gradually, seeing the old woman's family turn from poor to rich, with a lot of good fortune, others will not help feeling sorry for her.

Why? !Why is this Living God of Fortune specially raised by her family?My family is also short of blessings, and the rice in my field is not enough to eat. Why did such a good thing fall on her family?

Greed and jealousy are the eternal verdicts of the living.A group of almost poor people were born together in a barren mountain village. They have been farming for generations and have never been out of the mountains. Suddenly one day, seeing the people in the same village having a happy day, the flames of jealousy can swallow them up.

When the old woman was sitting alone in the yard feeding the chickens, she thought happily that when the young man returned from his busy work, the rice porridge she had served would just be ready to drink.

Another year passed in the blink of an eye, and the old woman's grandson was born.The teenager tied a red rope to ward off evil spirits on the sleeping baby.

Good grandson, is this...?

This is something I prayed for in the temple before. Wearing it on my hand can bring some blessings.

He left as suddenly as he came.

Grandma, thank you for taking me in.But I have to leave.I have come to say goodbye to you.

Good grandson, it's a good thing that you've figured it out.Come on, let's celebrate.Although grandma is not willing to part with you, but you have to go back to your real relatives.

……thank you.

Then wait, you can leave later.If you don't go out with a basket on your back, my daughter-in-law will definitely get suspicious.She will go to the end of the village to change the salt later, you wait until you go out before leaving, otherwise, if she finds out, she will definitely make a fuss and scold you, so don't even think about leaving.

The boy had no luggage. He came alone with a dirty school uniform and a sword, and left empty-handed.He changed into an old school uniform that was mended by the old grandmother, and carried his own sword on his back.It was the first time she saw him with a sword on his back, and the tattered, stitched white clothes on him looked amazing.

Who the hell is this little fairy from? It fell in this crappy place of my house, like a little white bird, really wronged him.

The little white bird is about to fly away.

Grandma, I'm leaving.

After saying goodbye to the old woman, he opened the door, only to see many villagers surrounded the small courtyard.Looking around, these people not only looked nervous and gritted their teeth, but also came with farm tools.

But don't underestimate farm tools.Farm implements can also replace killers.
