Chapter Thirty-Seven The Coming (1)
The days at home were warm and comfortable. One day I accidentally weighed myself and found that I had gained 5 pounds. When I got off the scale, my mother was so happy that her face blossomed: "My silly son has finally gained weight."
Am I very thin? In fact, I am not fat, but it cannot be said to be thin, right? It was funny and I said to my mother: "Mom, are you raising fat pigs? Once you gain weight, you will be happy."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Boys need to be strong and strong (understood to mean powerful). Well, only little girls will like them." My mother smiled.
I broke out in a cold sweat. How old am I? My mother was talking about what little girls like.
My eldest sister laughed loudly next to me and said, "Mom, are you starting to worry about San Wa'er's marriage? You are not an ancient person."
My second sister said politely to the side: "You can't blame mom. You see, the third child stays in the mountains all day long, and he is almost becoming a primitive man. He doesn't even know "Shaolin Temple"."
I was a little embarrassed because I told my family about listening to the song on the road. The main reason was that the song was so good, but they laughed at me.
Moreover, my family was still very angry. My mother pulled me and said: "Come on, Sanwa'er, Mom will go to the street and buy you a pair of jeans. Our family is not as good as the top, but more than the bottom! What's a pair of jeans?"
"
Then, my mother actually bought me a pair of jeans, and my eldest sister and second sister took me to see a show of "Shaolin Temple".
In fact, I really want to defend myself. I have watched movies. Very occasionally, I will follow Master to the town. I will also go to watch movies. However, the town is so far away from the county seat by car, which shows how many people there are.
It's remote, in fact, "Shaolin Temple" hasn't been released there yet.
The sun on the street was dazzling, and I didn't argue with the three women at home who were teasing me. I raised my head and squinted at the sun, and felt a faint happiness filling my heart. Life at home was really good.
I don't have to cook, and my mother can't wait to bring the meal to the bed for me to eat.
I don't have to wash my clothes myself, my eldest and second sisters rush to wash them for me, because they feel that my life in the mountains is hard and cannot be compared with them.
Even when I went for a walk on the street, my dad had to give me a ride on his bicycle.
5 kilograms, these 5 kilograms of meat should be the happy 5 kilograms of meat! It would be better if the master is here.
What is the master doing? Have the preparations for the Tomb of the Hungry Ghost been completed? Have the people he is waiting for waited for? I feel very worried when I think about all of this.
"San baby, what are you thinking about? Let's go." The eldest sister took my hand and pulled me away affectionately. Only then did I realize that I had been distracted just now, and my mother and second sister had already walked ahead.
.
Today I went out to buy some new year's goods. It will be New Year's Eve in two or three days.
It's a pity that my dad can't come with me. The family has long planned to open a new store. It was hard to find a suitable store recently. After renting it, my dad was busy painting and other things, and he couldn't bear to ask workers to help.
I smiled, and let my eldest sister hold hands like that, and walked happily on the street. My eldest sister wore a red gauze scarf and a purple space suit, and my second sister wore a red space suit.
Wearing a pink gauze scarf, she looks so beautiful and attracts attention when walking on the street.
Looking at my mother, who seems to be a few years younger, and even perming her hair, and thinking about my father who is happily busy working on the new store, I find that life in my family is really getting better and better.
I owe all this to my master. That year, how could I forget that I went to the provincial capital with him to sell jade?
"San Wa'er, slow down, ah, San Wa'er, wait for me to run into the house!" The eldest sister's scream was accompanied by the crackling sound of firecrackers, and I was holding a firecracker.
Cigarettes, standing in the alley laughing.
It’s New Year’s Eve, and before having the reunion dinner, we have to set off firecrackers, but my eldest sister is not afraid of heaven or earth, but she is afraid of setting off firecrackers!
It's rare to see my eldest sister like this, so I'm naturally very happy.
After the firecrackers were set off, the eldest sister suddenly jumped out, pulled my ears and shouted: "You are going to die, Sanwa'er, let's see how I deal with you now."
"Sister, eldest sister, it's okay that I was wrong." I quickly begged for mercy.
My eldest sister and I were having a fight, which made my parents and my second sister laugh. At this moment, a careless voice came to our ears: "Please accept me, an old man, for a New Year's Eve dinner. Look at the weather."
Cold."
I was stunned for a moment and turned around to see an old man wearing a ragged coat with a wretched look all over his body walking towards our house. Who was that if he wasn't my master?
As soon as I jumped three feet high, I immediately ran towards my master and jumped on him: "Master!"
"Go, go, you're not a big girl, don't come close to me. Do you think you're still a child?" Old Man Jiang kicked me down without giving me any face. My parents just laughed.
They really like my master, and they are also really happy that my master can come on New Year's Eve. My parents will never forget his kindness over the years. My parents are people who value kindness very much.
"Grandpa Jiang." My eldest sister and my second sister called Old Man Jiang very affectionately. Old Man Jiang saved my second sister's life and solved the problem of my eldest sister studying. My two older sisters like him very much.
Old Man Jiang was very happy when he saw our two sisters: "That's right, the girls are still good. That stinky boy will go on his way, and the two pretty girls will be nice."
There was so much nonsense, I sighed helplessly, this is the true character of my master!
"Master Jiang, come in quickly, come in quickly," my parents greeted eagerly.
"Wait, I have to say something." Old Man Jiang became serious.
My parents are most afraid of Old Man Jiang being serious and becoming serious all of a sudden, because when Old Man Jiang is serious, he will basically become a ghost.
"Originally I planned to let San Wa'er stay for the winter vacation, but things have changed now. I have to take San Wa'er up the mountain on the second day of the new year. That's what happened." Old Man Jiang felt a little embarrassed.
Speaking of.
My parents breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Although they couldn't bear to leave me, they have become accustomed to me learning things next to Old Man Jiang over the years. Now I am much more sensible than when I was a child, and I am good at studying. Why should they be worried?
?
"That's it, pick him up, pick him up, this kid doesn't worry at home." My dad is very 'generous'.
"It's okay. He's been here for a few days this time. Let's pick him up. We'll just go up the mountain to see him in a few days." My mother is also quite 'generous'.
In front of Old Man Jiang, they had no hesitation in 'betraying' me.
Only my two sisters were reluctant to part with it. Old Man Jiang said with a smile: "Girls, don't be reluctant to part with us. Just tell your mother that you come up the mountain to play. I'm afraid you haven't been here for more than half a year."
My parents echoed next to me, and our two sisters were very happy when they heard this. They had long wanted to go up the mountain, but they were busy at home, such as a new store, or the canteen business, so they wanted to help out during the holidays.
My parents.
My parents are all agreeing with this, how can they not be happy?
It was a happy reunion dinner. Although it was not a delicacy, I was extremely satisfied. This is my ideal reunion dinner. With my family and Master here, I feel that I have almost nothing else to ask for.
I don’t even want to talk about Old Man Jiang’s arrogant eating habits. He ate the most, drank the most, and his face was red. After eating, he set off firecrackers to scare my two sisters.
Fortunately, our family knew him well, otherwise we might have thought he was an old lunatic.
After midnight, my two sisters were tired and went to bed. My parents also went to bed. I couldn't sleep, so I went to chat with the master who lived in another room, but I found the master sitting there with a strange look on his face.
While drinking a small drink, there were two snacks my mother prepared for him in front of him.
This old man is really good at eating. Didn’t he eat enough at the reunion dinner just now?
"Master, what are you thinking about?" When I shouted, Old Man Jiang was startled, and when he came to his senses, he patted my head.
"I didn't think about it, why don't I just drink some wine?" After the filming, Old Man Jiang replied angrily, as if my appearance made him very unhappy.
"What are you thinking about? Master, why do I think your expression is so weird? That's right! I remembered how to describe it, like, like a weasel thinking about the old hen!" Yes, I think my description is extremely accurate, Master.
The weird expression is clearly yearning or something, but not exactly.
"Fuck you!" Old Man Jiang jumped up all of a sudden. He couldn't control the curse words coming out, but he probably thought about accidentally scolding my mother, so he held it back.
But I was miserable. He lifted me to the bed, held me down and slapped me down with more than a dozen slaps.
"Tell me, who is the weasel? Tell me, who is the old mother? I can't kill this unscrupulous disciple like you today!"
I was so beaten that I couldn't understand how a joke could cause such a big reaction from Master.
After Old Man Jiang felt refreshed, he straightened his clothes and said, "On the morning of the second grade of junior high school, I will pick him up with you. After picking him up, we will go back to the mountain."
I had been beaten so hard that I couldn't think clearly, so I weakly asked: "Master, who should I pick up?"
"Don't you know it when the time comes?" Old Man Jiang took a sip of wine with a 'chiliu' sound, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to me.
I sat up with my messy hair and said, "Master, I don't need to ask this. Anyway, I can always know. You said the situation has changed. What kind of change is this? You have to tell me, right?"
My master looked at me, picked up another chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, and finally said something that almost made me choke to death: "Guess?" I guess? Haha, I'm guessing, I don't even know the specifics.
Chapter completed!
