Lucky husband

Li Mingjin opened his eyes and saw the iron boxes coming and going at a very fast speed in front of him. The ground under his feet was covered with clean and tidy square bricks without any mud. The houses around him were neat and orderly, bright and tidy. All he could see were strangely dressed people, and he cried...

"Daddy...Mother...Grandma...Grandpa..." He called the elders in the family one by one, but no one showed up.

If it was in Shanghe Village, if a child was squatting on the ground and crying loudly, an adult would definitely come forward to ask a few questions, but in this strange place, no one came to take a look at Li Mingjin, he was crying very sadly.

After crying for a long time, Li Mingjin gradually got used to seeing things in this place. He didn't know why he was here, but he thought about what his father taught him when he took him to the county town, not to show timidity outside, no matter how scared he was, he couldn't show it.

Although the people here looked strangely dressed, the men had short hair shaved irregularly, and some women wore outrageous skirts, but they were all human beings and not monsters. The big sister who looks like Ruqun clothes: "Sister, do you know where Shanghe Village is?"

Unexpectedly, the elder sister he asked didn't even look at him, and walked away, Li Mingjin's mouth was flattened, and she wanted to cry again.

At this time, an old man with a white beard appeared out of nowhere, staring at Li Mingjin with a strange face, repeating the word "strange thing" repeatedly.

"Spirit!" The man who appeared out of nowhere startled Li Mingjin, staring at the old man with a white beard as he stepped back step by step with tears in his eyes.

I still remember that when he was young, he and his fourth sister Li Mingxia went up the mountain and accidentally lost their way. The whole village searched for him and the fourth sister for a long time before they found him and the fourth sister. They thought that the grandmother would scold them both, but the milk gave them two alone. After drinking a bowl of spicy ginger water and letting them take a hot bath, he and the fourth sister were taken to the main room and told them a story: the ghost in the mountains met a child who was alone Cook and eat.

At that time, Grandma told the two of them a lot of ghosts, the most powerful of which was the ghost that could transform into a human form. This old man with a white beard happened to be similar to Granny Li's description.

Stepping back step by step, the result was that Li Mingjin couldn't see the small stones at his feet, and accidentally tripped over, and he didn't fall, and the child didn't hurt when he fell, but Li Mingjin was frightened: "I just I'm sick, my meat doesn't taste good, don't eat me..."

The old man with the white beard is full of black lines. He looks like a monster who wants to eat children?

"Don't cry, baby, I'll give you candy."

As soon as these words fell, Li Mingjin turned over and got up from the ground, and ran in the opposite direction with all his strength. He said that the person who gave the candy was definitely a ghost, and he was just doing something stupid if he didn't run away.

The children's thinking was jumping a lot. The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and watched Li Mingjin run out on his short legs, and smiled meaningfully: "It's very interesting, kid, I'll take you back if I have something to do today, old man." , see you next time."

On the other end, Li Mingjin tried his best, ran and didn't notice that the scenery in front of him was slowly changing. It seemed that he had returned to the outside of Shanghe Village. He didn't find it strange at all, and heard someone calling his name again...

"Yunniang, I'm back."

"Brother Jin, Dad is back."

"Brother Shi keep your voice down, Brother Jin finally slept well, don't wake him up."

"What's wrong, Brother Jin?"

Li Mingjin rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking at her worried mother and her father who hadn't seen him for a long time with some blank eyes: "Mother, father, what time is it now?"

"It's almost the end of the application period, you little lazy pig." Li Chengshi looked at his sleeping son with flushed cheeks, remembered what his wife said to him just now, sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand to carefully touch his son's forehead, "Brother Jin not comfortable?"

"Daddy, I'm fine." Li Mingjin smiled sweetly at Li Chengshi, "Daddy came home early this time."

Jiang Zhiyun, who was watching from the side, saw that Brother Jin didn't look as listless after getting up this time, thinking about what his mother said before, and didn't interrupt their father and son's chat.

"There is nothing to do in the yamen today. The master thought that your father and I live far away, so he allowed me to leave earlier." After speaking, Li Chengshi took out a string of small wooden beads from his cuff, each of which was only the size of Li Mingjin's thumb. Big, twelve in total, engraved with naive twelve zodiac signs, "Last time when Mu Xiu failed to come back, Daddy brought a gift for Brother Jin, do you like it?"

"I like it! Thank you, Dad!" Li Mingjin kissed Li Chengshi's unshaven face, got up from the bed, took the wooden beads and sat by the window with good light to watch carefully, smiling from ear to ear.

"Brother Jin, put down the wooden bead string." Jiang Zhiyun scolded her son with a straight face, "You didn't feel well the past two days because you ran out in the morning without getting dressed. After learning the lesson, why don't you dress well?"

Li Mingjin obediently put down the string of wooden beads in his hand and walked to Jiang Zhiyun's side, turning his eyes to look at his father: "Daddy, did you only bring presents for brother Jin? Where's mother's?"

"Can I forget your mother's? Of course I will give it to your mother later, so that you won't see it." Li Chengshi pinched his son's cheek.

Seeing her mother help her put on her clothes, Li Mingjin picked up the wooden bead string and ran to the door: "It's fine if you don't let me see, I'll go out and play with Fourth Sister."

After his son ran out, Li Chengshi took out a carefully wrapped hollow silver hairpin from his pocket: "Yunniang, come here and let me put it on for you."

The master craftsman who made the silver hairpin is very skilled, and the butterfly on the top is very delicate. Li Chengshi nodded with satisfaction: "When I saw this hairpin at the time, I thought it would match you very well, as expected."

"What are you wasting this money for? Don't worry about food and clothing in the county town by yourself, lest we worry at home." Jiang Zhiyun was both happy and worried. Buying this hairpin is probably another month of frugality.

"It's okay, I eat and live in the county government office, and it doesn't cost money." Li Chengshi held his wife's hand, "Yunniang, when I came back just now, I saw you looking at Brother Jin frowningly, we Brother Jin What's wrong?"

Brother Jin has been feeling unwell for the past few days, and this afternoon he had a nightmare and cried again. Although the child didn't remember it when he woke up, Jiang Zhiyun was still a little worried. It's all said and done.

At this time, Li Mingjin, who left and sneaked back to hide under the window sill to eavesdrop, suddenly remembered what he had dreamed at noon, and his rosy face suddenly turned pale: "Daddy!"

The husband and wife who were whispering were stunned when they heard Li Mingjin's obviously crying voice. They poked their heads out to see their son standing under the window sill, looking like he was about to cry or not, and Jiang Zhiyun's face turned pale.
