Solstice Secrets

It was almost time for dinner when Mr. Zhuang left. Zhuang Zhou and Ling Dongzhi originally wanted to keep him for dinner before leaving. In fact, Mr. Zhuang wanted to stay for dinner, but he felt that it was the first time he came to the door. Not to mention lunch, he still took a nap at someone's house, and if he wanted to stay and finish his meal, he seemed to want to hang on and not leave, which really ruined his image of being wise and mighty.So he hesitated again and again, and let the guards come to pick him up before dinner.

Mr. Zhuang stood at the gate of the small courtyard, still a little reluctant to part, "I see that your grapes are all hanging fruit, and a lot of them are hanging. When you two have time, ask someone who is knowledgeable to see if you need topdressing or something. delayed."

The two young men nodded together.

The old man took two steps outside and said, "What are the two big vats under the grape trellis for? If you are idle, you are also idle. You can watch the fun by raising a few fish."

The two young men nodded again.

Mr. Zhuang stood at the door and looked at the car that came to pick him up, then at the small green yard, then turned to ask Zhuang Zhou, "Do you know how to raise fish?"

What else can't be understood by Grandpa Zhuang's little thought?Zhuang Zhou said helplessly: "Neither of us has raised fish before. If Grandpa is free, come and give us guidance."

Mr. Zhuang was immediately happy, "Let's do it on the weekend, I'll come over on the weekend." As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Dongzhi calmly, as if he was waiting for another resident of the house to take the initiative to express his opinion.

Ling Dongzhi was also a little dumbfounded, thinking, isn't this your grandson's home?Come whenever you want, why do you still take so many turns?But the old man's posture is so high, he can only cooperate, "We are all at home on weekends, Grandpa, you can come over any time you want. I will cook something delicious for you."

Mr. Zhuang didn't think Ling Dongzhi's dishes were delicious at all. If he really wanted to pick out one good point, that is, their vegetables were very fresh.Of course, Mr. Zhuang is an experienced person, even if he still has some opinions about Ling Dongzhi, he would not lose face so straightforwardly in front of others.Ling Dongzhi's attitude was quite considerate, so the old man also felt quite comfortable, and happily got in the car and left.

As soon as the car drove away, Ling Dongzhi let out a long sigh of relief, "It's terrible. Why is it like my baby Ling, and I still have to be coaxed."

Zhuang Zhou said with a smile, "Why don't people call him a child."

Ling Dongzhi thought about it, and he was also happy.

Zhuang Zhou closed the door, walked in with his arms around Ling Dongzhi's shoulders.There were too many things in the past two days, and the two of them had another conflict. Although he quickly realized that it was impossible for Ling Dongzhi to respond to Qingshu's call to have a baby with a woman he didn't know, it was easy to lose his temper, and he had to lose his face It's not so easy to apologize, you have to find the right time.As a result, before he found an opportunity, the old man came to the door.Fortunately, it was a false alarm, the old man didn't come here to beat mandarin ducks.

The two sat down on the steps outside the living room, Ling Dongzhi stretched long, "I'm so tired."

"Where are you tired?" Zhuang Zhou put his hands on his shoulders and rubbed, "Is it scared by grandpa?"

Ling Dongzhi didn't make a sound.He didn't want to admit that he was really taken aback by the old man.

"My grandpa has always been annoyed by having pets at home," Zhuang Zhou said with a smile when he saw Brown Tang running over from the backyard with three cats, "What's the matter today? He actually told me that there are so many little things in the house that are very lively." .”

Either I really feel lonely, or I am looking for something to say.Ling Dongzhi thought to himself, after all, it's just an old man who doesn't know how to lower his figure to approach his juniors.From the details of how Grandpa Zhuang got along with Zhuang Zhou, Ling Dongzhi could feel his carefully concealed attitude.Realizing that Grandpa Zhuang didn't care about this grandson's opinion at all, Ling Dongzhi was relieved.

Zhuang Zhou pinched his neck, "Why were you so angry with me that day?"

Ling Dongzhi hid for a while but did not dodge, shrank his neck and snorted, "Your grandfather bullied me, and I can't bully you back, so I can only vent my anger on his grandson."

Zhuang Zhou smiled, "That suggestion was made by Qingshu, right? You really haven't wavered?"

"Here, squeeze hard." Ling Dongzhi patted his neck, "Don't blame Qingshu either. He just has such an idea. Whether I agree or not, he will have no objection."

Zhuang Zhou still felt uncomfortable.There is a feeling of being conspired to poach the wall.Well, this is probably similar to Ling Dongzhi's feeling towards Emily.

"I think my brother is a bit like Murong Fu in "Tian Long Ba Bu". There is a deep-rooted idea in his mind, wanting to restore the good old days." Ling Dongzhi sighed, "But at least Murong Fu still has a gang As for his subordinates, he has nothing but a stubborn stupid tendon, alas."

Zhuang Zhou said lightly: "It's different. What Murong Fu wants to restore is very empty, but what Qingshu wants to restore is very real: clansman, family affection, and the inherent life pattern in memory." He didn't have the slightest impression in his mind, that's why he felt that Qingshu's thinking was like Murong Fu's.

Ling Dongzhi probably also realized this problem, patted Zhuang Zhou's hand and sighed, "Don't blame him."

It is impossible not to blame at all.But the atmosphere is right now, Zhuang Zhou naturally won't bring the topic in a very unsightly direction.Besides, Qingshu is only on a business trip, so the time he can stay in Binhai City should not be too long.

"Is he leaving soon?"

Ling Dongzhi thought for a while, "It seems to be within this week."

Zhuang Zhou decided to be generous, "Let's practice it for him before we leave."

Ling Dongzhi smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Plans often fail to keep up with changes.Ling Dongzhi had just set the practice date on the weekend, and Qing Shu called him early the next morning to say that he had already booked a ticket and was going back that day.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ling Dongzhi was very surprised, "Did something happen?"

There was a hint of excitement in Aoki's voice, "Aomame called me and said that she found two people who might belong to our family. Since she had never had direct contact with them, she couldn't be sure, and wanted me to call them sooner." Go back and try to prove it with her."

Ling Dongzhi almost blurted out the words that he also followed.Then I remembered that I still had a few students who were going to take the college entrance examination with me, and I couldn't leave before June anyway.

"Where were green beans found?"

"That place is not far from Qingshi Town, but the location is very remote. It's called Ping'anji. Me and Aomame have never been there either. Aomame heard from her friend. Those two friends went on a field trip with their work unit and stayed at that place. I came back and said that there is a very famous medical center in Ping Anji. The cows and pigs in the nearby valleys are sent here for treatment. The two doctors in the medical center are very magical, as if they can understand the words of animals. of."

Ling Dongzhi's heart skipped a beat.

"Qingdou was also very excited at the time, and asked them what the two doctors looked like. Her friend said that the two doctors were very young and very good-looking." Qing Shu said here, and there was a smile in his voice unconsciously. , "Xiaoyu, haven't you noticed that everyone in our family looks good?"

Ling Dongzhi rolled his eyes at Wangtian, "Don't mention our family to me, I've only met you." Besides, they are still cousins, so it's normal to look alike.

Qingshu laughed, "I'm serious. People in our clan are all good-looking. I still remember some things in the clan when I was a child. The uncles and aunts in the village, and even our village head grandfather are very handsome. Woolen cloth."

What's the use of being handsome? It's not that he hides in the deep mountains and old forests and dares not meet anyone. He worries all day long whether the secrets of his family will be revealed and cause any trouble.Ling Dongzhi complained in his heart, and at the same time felt sad.How embarrassing their life is.

Qing Shu on the other end of the phone didn't understand Ling Dongzhi's mood. On the contrary, after so long, he finally got some news. He was very excited, "It's two men. Xiaoyu, you know, people of our family, women They don’t have the ability to communicate with animals. If it’s really a girl, there’s really no way to prove it. Fortunately, it’s two men..."

Ling Dongzhi was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?"

"How old was I when I left the mountains?" Qingshu didn't take his question very seriously, "I remember many things. I have been in touch with my mother and those aunts, sisters and sisters in the village. These things are very important to us. It is common sense for people of the same family, okay?"

Ling Dongzhi's mind was a little confused.The common sense that Qingshu said was something he never knew. How many secrets are hidden in the blood of the mountain gods?Ling Dongzhi understands that Qingshu attaches great importance to Qingdou. So far, Qingdou is not only Qingshu's little sister, but also a member of the tribe who once shared with him in trouble, and is the only mountain god woman whose identity has been determined. .

Ling Dongzhi thought sourly: So the green beans are so valuable.

But then he thought of another problem, Qingshu had to run around looking for someone, and with only his little salary, he would live in a very tight financial situation.After all, searching for clan members is not Qingshu's job alone, Ling Dongzhi plans to allocate part of the money from that fund to fund the search.In this way, Qingshu's own life can be more secure, not to mention, when looking for someone, he won't be shy because of money.

He still needs to discuss the specific operation with Cheng Anni.Ling Dongzhi thought for a while and decided not to tell Qing Shu for the time being.

"What time is the plane?" Ling Dongzhi asked him, "If I have a class, let Zhuang Zhou go to pick you up."

Qingshu said the time, and said: "Don't bother you, Captain Zuo will take me to the airport."

Ling Dongzhi was silent for a moment, and asked tentatively: "You have a good relationship with Captain Zuo?"

"Of course." Qingshu replied carelessly, "We cooperate very well not only at work, but also on the training ground."

Ling Dongzhi was a bit torn whether he should tell him that Captain Zuo is probably a crook, and that he might have some thoughts about Qingshu?He felt that he might have thought too much, but he did have such a guess, if he pretended that he hadn't thought of anything... If it turns out to be true afterwards, then he would feel sorry for Aoki.

Qingshu said again: "Isn't the friendship between the gentlemen just created by typing?"

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

Well, it seems that Qingshu is straight.Can he rest assured?

Qingshu said proudly: "If you really fight, Captain Zuo can't beat me. In terms of physical fitness alone, your brother can beat him by a few blocks. He is not an opponent at all, haha."

Ling Dongzhi wiped his sweat silently, but he still decided not to say anything.

The author has something to say: Today happens to be over [-] chapters, let’s give away a chapter of Xiaofanwai for everyone’s welfare~ Fanwai Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu ([-])

"Changshan, Changshan."

Little Yu's father didn't need to look up to know that it was the chickadee that built a nest on the old persimmon tree at the head of the village. This little guy was very irritable, and he was very anxious, and everyone in the village had learned to listen to him slowly. say.

"What's wrong?" Dad Xiaoyu lowered his head and fiddled with the dried vegetables in the yard, and asked casually, "What happened again?"

The sun has been shining these few days, so Dad Xiaoyu took out the dried vegetables saved in autumn and turned them in the sun again.The winter in the mountains is long, and it will gradually warm up in early April. Except for vegetables such as cabbage, potatoes and radishes, which are relatively easy to store, the mountain people rely on various dried and pickled vegetables to support them through the long winter.The same goes for Xiaoyu's family. Before winter, in addition to tidying up the cellar to store grain and vegetables, Xiaoyu's mother also dried a lot of dried vegetables in the yard with her big belly.Mushrooms, fungus, and various wild vegetables are all generous rewards from the mountains.

The tit was jumping up and down on the eaves, and said in a very anxious tone, "Where did Uncle Rong go and why haven't they come back? I need to find him urgently!"

Uncle Rong is the head of the village. Today it is his turn to take another team from the village to hunt, and he should be on his way back now.

Dad Xiaoyu comforted it and said, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."

The chickadee walked back and forth anxiously, chirping: "Oh, you don't know, something really happened this time! A group of chick crows flew out from the mountain. I heard from them that they always feel dizzy these days Yes, I can't sleep well. I'm afraid something big will happen in the mountains!"

Little Fish's father, who was turning over the dried mushrooms, couldn't help but pause for a moment.The chickens and ducks in the village are also a little irritable these days, and the dogs that guard the house are also very irritable.When I asked them, I couldn't find anything, only that I was inexplicably flustered.This kind of situation has been encountered before, but Xiaoyu's father really doesn't want to think in that direction.

But as a man of the mountain god family, he knows that the senses of animals are far more sensitive than humans.If they all feel that something is wrong, I'm afraid something big is going to happen.

Dad Xiaoyu straightened up, wiped his hands, and walked towards the cave.As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the giggling of the baby and the gentle voice of the little fish mother teasing the child.

Xiaoyu's father pursed his lips, pushed the door open and walked in.

The little baby sleeps far longer than he wakes up, and the funny thing is that he seems so happy every time he wakes up, and a few sips of milk can make him giggle happily.

The little fish mother had just nursed the baby, and was carefully standing him up and patting his back.The baby's immature face was facing the direction of Xiao Yu's father, and the pink and tender mouth was open, with a happy expression on his face.Xiaoyu's father knew that such a small child could not see anything at a distance, but he still felt that the child was smiling at him.

Dad Xiaoyu couldn't help but sighed.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yu's mother turned around and showed a slightly surprised expression when she saw the expression on his face, "Did something happen?"

Xiaoyu's father shook his head, "It's hard to say now." After thinking for a while, he added: "Pack up your things, and don't panic if something happens. I'll go to other people's houses and tell them."

Xiao Yu's mother suddenly became flustered, "His father..."

Dad Xiaoyu patted her on the shoulder lightly, "The chickadee said that there was movement in the mountains, and I'm afraid there will be an earthquake. I don't know what the situation is right now, let's get ready first."

Mother Xiaoyu nodded and looked down at the little fish in her arms.The little fish who had just eaten yawned big, tapped his mouth, and closed his eyes.

Xiaoyu's mother couldn't help but hugged the child tightly.

Xiaoyu's father took the two of them into his arms, "Don't be afraid, we'll be fine."

Mother Xiaoyu nodded, her eyes were slightly red.
