door god biography

It was another Saturday, after Chen Ze packed up the house, he got up and got on the bus to the city.

When Chen Ze came to his parents' house with pastries, it was his little nephew Chen Yang who opened the door for him.

The boy asked him in a childish voice through the door: "What is the most common sentence that Big Big Wolf says?"

Hearing this, Chen Ze pursed his lips and smiled, imitating the voice of Big Big Wolf in the cartoon and said: "I will be back~~~~."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen Yang opened the door with a giggle, and rushed towards him like a small cannonball.

Seeing this, Chen Ze quickly bent down and picked him up. His sister-in-law followed behind his nephew and said, "Come down quickly, Yangyang, you are still wearing shoes on your feet, be careful to step on your uncle's." clothing."

Chen Ze kissed his nephew's little face and said: "It's okay, how dirty a child's feet can be, just scatter them after a while, Yang Yang wants to be hugged by my uncle, so the uncle will hold Yang Yang and play for a while .”

Speaking of which, Chen Ze handed the pastry he was carrying to her sister-in-law, and he himself took Xiao Yangyang to the toy room at home that was specially surrounded for him.

It is said to be a toy room, but it actually separates the living room into a small area, which is covered with colorful foam boards. There are two large boxes on the foam boards, which are full of all kinds of toys bought by relatives and friends for Yang Yang. kinds of toys.

Chen Ze bent down, and put the little nephew in his arms in the toy room. Xiao Yangyang was very clever, and he knew that Chen Ze should help him take off the little slippers on his feet before walking into the toy room to play.

Soon, the cheerful laughter of Chen Ze and Xiao Yangyang came from the toy room. Yang Yang was holding Pleasant Goat, which was about the same age as him, and Chen Ze was wearing the Big Big Wolf hat on his head. The two were happily in the toy house. Frolicking.

Seeing that the two of them were having fun, Chen Ze's sister-in-law let them go and went back to her bedroom to tidy up the housework.

After all, Yang Yang was still young, after playing around with Chen Ze for a while, he hugged the Pleasant Goat in his arms and dozed off on the colored foam. Seeing this, Chen Ze hurried to find his sister-in-law.

Mrs. Chen gently picked up her drowsy son, and carried Yang Yang back to his own hut.

When his sister-in-law came out, she was holding a jacket in her hand, which seemed to be newly bought, and the label on the back of the collar hadn't been cut off yet.

While handing him the jacket, his sister-in-law said: "A few days ago, I went to the mall with my mother, and it happened that this brand of clothes was having an event. They said they were buying the second one and would get a [-]% discount. Me and Mom was so excited that she went over to have a look, and immediately fell in love with these two jackets.

I bought one for you and one for your brother. Come on, come and try to see if it fits. If it is too big or too small, I can find them to exchange.

Hearing this, Chen Ze got up and took the clothes, and put them on. The size was just right. He smiled and said, "My sister-in-law has a good eye. The clothes are not bad at all. I thank my sister-in-law for her kindness."

Chen Ze knew that although his sister-in-law said that she bought the clothes when she was shopping with Chen's mother, in fact it was probably just an excuse for fearing that he would be embarrassed to accept the clothes.

Because Chen Ze really knows the habits of his mother. His mother has been frugal all her life, and she always buys clothes in wholesale markets like Dashijie. When Chen Ze just took the clothes, he took a peek at the labels on them. , Although this piece of clothing is not a big international brand, it can be regarded as a well-known domestic brand. A piece of clothing costs at least a few hundred yuan, and a few thousand yuan is normal.

His mother would never go to such a place. The only word in her mind is affordable. What is the brand?She doesn't know anything.

Therefore, this dress can only be bought for him by his sister-in-law. She is afraid that he will not accept it, and even moved his old mother out as an excuse. Sometimes Chen Ze really envies his brother, who married a good wife and raised him. Jiaozi, her family is harmonious and things are going well, she really wants everything.

Thinking of this, Chen Ze became a little puzzled, why didn't he see his brother after he came here for so long?Shouldn't Saturday be his day off?

So Chen Ze asked, "What about my brother? Why can't I see him lately?"

Chen Ze's sister-in-law sighed and said: "I'm still staring at the computer in the room, I don't know what happened recently, I always see him working overtime, he is so busy that he almost treats the office as his home. "

Hearing this, Chen Ze took off the clothes on his body, handed them to his sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, please put away the clothes first, I will go into the room to see my brother."

When Chen Ze entered, his brother Chen Hao was still typing in front of the computer, but it was slightly different from the last time. This time, brother Chen's mood was significantly more serious, his lips were slightly pursed, his brows were furrowed, and even Typing is much faster.

When Chen Hao heard someone push the door and came in, he just turned his head and saw that it was his younger brother, so he said, "I still have some things to do today, so I don't have time to entertain you, so you can do whatever you want."

After hearing the words, Chen Ze went over, sat next to his brother and said, "What's the treat for my brother, you can do your own work, don't worry about me."

Then he looked at the report his brother was typing and asked, "Seeing that you are so busy, what is going on?"

Hearing the words, his brother replied: "Isn't it about those fruit trees? I still don't know for certain."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ze replied, "Didn't the professor from the Provincial School of Botany be invited?"

Chen Hao replied: "Please come, but didn't say anything, the soil was tested, the water was tested, and even the air was tested. The conclusion is that there is nothing wrong with it, but those trees are wilted. What's more serious, even the leaves started to fall. The invited experts collected some leaves and rhizomes and made specimens. They said they wanted to go back to the laboratory for research, but as soon as they went back, there was no news. I called and asked, and they said they were still researching, what the hell, when they finished researching, those pear trees on my side should have died long ago."

Maybe it's because of the recent back and forth, he was really tired. Chen Hao took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose while talking, leaned on the chair and rubbed his eye sockets back and forth, obviously extremely exhausted.

Chen Ze couldn't help being moved when he heard the words, thinking that since it was a matter of animals and plants, it should be okay to ask about the land. If he could really ask the reason, it would also relieve his brother's urgent need.

Thinking of this in his heart, Chen Ze didn't dare to stay at his parents' house any longer. After lunch, he got up and said goodbye to his parents, brother and sister-in-law.

All the way home, while it was still early, Chen Ze took out a stack of paper offerings and a few sticks of incense from the cabinet where the sacrifices were placed, and went to the Earth Temple with matches.

The Earth Temple in Nanyuan Town is just to the east of the town. At the turn of the Nanyuan River, there is a large piece of flat land. The soil here is soft and not suitable for building large houses and buildings, but the scenery is good. Spring and summer In autumn and winter, the scenery of the four seasons is different.

No one can tell when this small temple of the Lord of the Earth was built here. When asked, the oldest old man in the town only said that it had been there as far back as he could remember.

The small temple is not too big, only about 1 meters wide, and as high as Chen Ze's chest. There is nothing extra in the temple except for a wooden plaque of the land lord, even for sticking incense candles. The incense burner was also replaced by a broken bowl with a gap.

Although the small temple of the Lord of Earth is not far from the old house of the Chen family, Chen Ze has never been here. Since their family enshrined Lord Shi, they have not offered incense to any other gods and Buddhas.

After Chen Ze came to the small temple of the Lord of the Earth, he was overwhelmed by the scene he saw in front of him. The small temple was made of stones and loess, and it had already been mottled after years of wind and rain The house is not in shape anymore, the roof was covered with tiles, but now it is already incomplete, and it is ventilated everywhere.The small temple doesn't even have a door, and the tablet of the Lord of the Land is placed on the right side, which is the only place where the roof tiles are relatively complete.

Chen Ze was speechless when he saw this. Although he had heard that low-level gods and Buddhas without incense would be very miserable in the mortal world, but those were just heard, this time seeing is believing, he Only then have a deeper understanding of these situations.

The Chen family has some connections with the land here. It was fine if they didn't know it before, but now that they see it, they can't let the land of one side be protected and live like this.

Chen Ze had no choice but to go back home again, first went to the neighbor's house, asked them for a few tiles that were removed when they demolished the old house, and took a rag and broom before returning to the Earth Temple.

Chen Ze did it himself, first replaced the broken tiles on the roof of the small temple, cleaned the inside and outside of the small temple with a broom, and finally wiped off the dust with a rag. After cleaning the small temple, the sun was about to set.

Finally finished everything, Chen Ze straightened up and said to Xiaomiao: "There are limited materials, so we can only do this first. If the Landlord has any requirements, you can come to my house and tell me. I will definitely do it." I will do my best to satisfy you.”

As he spoke, Chen Ze lit the incense in his hand, inserted it into the broken bowl with a hole missing, and while burning the offering paper he brought, he said, "I'm here this time for one thing. I would like to trouble you, the Landlord. There is a Tianpu Village in the south of Lifan City. The various trees there and its vicinity have recently become wilted and dead for some reason. We have invited many fruit tree experts to come. I couldn't find the reason, so I want to ask you, the land, what's wrong."

During the conversation, the paper offerings brought by Chen Ze were all burnt. After getting up, Chen Ze bowed to the Earth Temple before turning around and leaving.

At night, Chen Ze had just finished practicing the "Kaiyang" formula. When he opened his eyes, he saw the kind-faced old man beside Shi Gong. Seeing that Chen Ze had finished his work, the old man stepped forward and said, "Little old man This is the local land. I came here tonight to thank you, Chen Tanyue. Thank you for repairing and cleaning the temple for the little old man, so that the little old man can have a shelter. What you said today during the day , the little old man has it in mind, and tomorrow I will go to the south to ask you, and I will definitely ask you the reason."

Chen Ze hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandpa Land, don't say that. You belong to one side of the land. Xiao Ke has been taken care of by you since his ancestors. What happened today is nothing more than a little effort. Why should I say thank you?"

After hearing the words, the land returned: "Tanyue is kind-hearted and treats each other with kindness. Please wait quietly for news from the little old man. I will definitely find out for you."

After finishing speaking, the Land Lord got up and left. Chen Ze looked at his back and said to Shi Gong who was standing by, "Shi Gong, I will also go to put some incense on the land on the first and fifteenth day of every month. what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Gong replied: "Whatever my lord wants to do, just do it. I will only support and never hinder."

Hearing this, Chen Ze felt warm in his heart, and couldn't help but smile on his face. Seeing this, Shi Gong's eyes became deeper and deeper, and after a long while, he said: "It's getting late, my lord, please rest early, and I won't bother you anymore. "

After speaking, he turned and left.
