At noon, when I was cooking, I found that there was no salt at home. I told my grandmother to watch the pot and I went out to buy salt at a small shop not far from home.
Outside the small shop, there are gossiping places all day. I heard them talking from a distance that there was a fire in the house of a blind old man selling wonton yesterday.
Some people vividly tell how big the fire was when the blind old man’s house was on fire, how sad the blind old man cried after the fire left a shell room.
"Xiao Ran is about to start school. When will you leave?" The chattering crowd was dressed in a bright Zhang Cuiping and greeted me when they saw me coming.
My primary school classmate’s maiden in Zhang Cuiping is a town.
Zhang Cuiping dropped out of primary school before he graduated. With a pretty face, he worked outside nightclubs for many years and earned enough money before returning to town. Years ago, he married our village’s wooden and honest Li two dog.
It was the Li family, two dog and Zhang Cuiping who died a few days after they got married.
On the day of the sudden death of Li two dog in Zhang Cuiping, Li two dog said that it was unlucky to die at home during the New Year.
Li Jia two dog’s parents have already passed away, and Li Jia two dog is the only one who can come out and resolutely oppose Zhang Cuiping’s decision
In the end, Li’s elders really couldn’t look out to speak. Zhang Cuiping was the one who let Li two dog’s family die. On the eleventh day of the first month, Li two dog was buried.
The villagers gossiping about Zhang Cuiping root didn’t feel that it was already brightly dressed and laughing in the crowd.
"Yes, I will leave in a few days." In response to Zhang Cuiping’s inquiry, I went straight into the small shop to buy salt
I really don’t remember Zhang Cuiping. After seeing me, Zhang Cuiping said it was very detailed. She and I were in the same class in primary school. I thought about it carefully before I remembered that there seemed to be a primary school classmate named Zhang Cuiping.
Back to the small mountain village in Zi Shan, I don’t often go out this winter vacation, but every time I go out, I can hear the villagers’ divination. Zhang Cuiping, who is newly married to the small mountain village in Zi Shan, reveals her old story clearly.
When I heard the villagers divining Zhang Cuiping, I was very impressed that the power of public opinion should not be underestimated, which made Zhang Cuiping private again.
After hearing about Zhang Cuiping, I don’t think Zhang Cuiping is a bad person. Who can mend?
It’s a good-bye to Zhang Cuiping today. Seeing her bright clothes, I’m very sympathetic to Zhang Cuiping and don’t want to talk to her more.
I am very noisy, and it has become a topic in a small mountain village in Zi Shan. Wang Zhang Cuiping has such a strong psychological quality that he can squeeze people to laugh so happily and have leisure and elegance to discuss other right and wrong.
Chapter seventy-nine The first seven soul nights
I bought salt and a few packets of shredded squid in the small shop and turned to go home, but Zhang Cuiping blocked the way at the door of the small shop.
"That little Ran, I’ll come to you to play in the afternoon." Zhang Cuiping, at the door of the small shop, looked erratic and rubbed his hands awkwardly.
I looked at Zhang Cuiping’s exquisite makeup, big waves, curly hair, bright clothes and not white clothes. What did she mean by blocking the door of the shop and talking about playing with me in the afternoon?
Although the former Zhang Cuiping told me that she was my primary school classmate, Zhang Cuiping and I were not familiar enough to play together.
I haven’t seen Zhang Cuiping for many years, and it’s also this winter vacation that I met her several times after she married Li two dog in our village, and that’s all.
"What’s up, Xiao Ranwu? I won’t delay you much when I go to play with you." Zhang Cuiping saw that I didn’t talk and spoke again, and I was still stuck at the door of the small shop.
Zhang Cuiping blocked the entrance of the small shop and blocked my way, which attracted the eyes of the villagers who were talking, and they all looked in the direction of Zhang Cuiping and me.
I think Zhang Cuiping’s oath is endless, and he nodded at Zhang Cuiping as an answer. Zhang Cuiping saw that I promised to get out of the way and stop blocking the door of the store.
I walked home with a bag of salt and shredded squid. Zhang Cuiping, behind me, Yang told me that she would come to visit me after lunch.
Section reading 54
I’m slightly wrinkled at Zhang Cuiping’s natural invitation, but I’m not at ease. I’m cooking in the kitchen and I’m waiting for salt.
When I got home for lunch, my grandmother told me that she was a little sleepy and asked me to practice hard and go back to my room to rest.
No sooner had I washed the dishes than Zhang Cuiping came to my house.
Although Zhang Cuiping is a fellow villager in my heart, I let Zhang Cuiping go to the main room and pour her a glass of water to chat with her.
Zhang Cuiping came to my house and chatted endlessly with me. When I took out my mobile phone and looked at it, this Zhang Cuiping had been chatting with me for an hour since he got to my house, and he was a little upset.
Damn it, it’s a bit ridiculous. Looking at Zhang Cuiping’s beautiful red lips, I really want to find a tape to stick to her.
"Xiao Ran, you said that we are old classmates. Give me an object to ward off evil spirits this New Year." Zhang Cuiping looked down at the end of a paragraph in her hand.
"I don’t have anything to ward off evil spirits. If you want it, you have to ask my grandmother for it." Zhang Cuiping always let me know that Zhang Cuiping came to see me this time.
Without thinking about it, I directly refused Zhang Cuiping’s request not to do anything wrong. I’m not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, ask me for an evil object.
"Well, Xiao Ran, please help me get a Bai Shen Po. There must be a lot of this stuff." Zhang Cuiping looked up but his eyes didn’t look at me.
"It’s not good. You’d better wait for grandma to wake up and ask for it herself." So Zhang Cuiping asked me to pick my eyebrows
Zhang Cuiping will chat with me for a while to see if I insist on not helping her leave with grandma’s evil things.
I sent Zhang Cuiping away, and I went to my home gate and began to practice.
I’ve been practicing hard, but I haven’t pushed my luck, which bothers me very much.
I used to wonder if there was something wrong with my practice method, but think about it carefully. I practice step by step according to the bamboo slip method, and I can also attribute my practice to my lack of diligence.
At four or five o’clock in the afternoon, Zhang Cuiping came again and saw Zhang Cuiping come to my house again. I was covered with black lines.
Nima came here twice in one afternoon, and she was not afraid of breaking her leg, which was enough leisure.
Zhang Cuiping came into the room and saw that grandma had got up by this time, so she started talking with grandma again and didn’t directly ask grandma for evil objects.
Grandma responded cheerfully to Zhang Cuiping, and I went straight back to my room to pack my suitcase.
It’s already the seventeenth day of the first month, and there are not many days before school starts. I’ll just pack up my luggage first or so. I’m also practicing meditation in Zhang Cuiping’s words.
When I packed my things and came out of my room, Zhang Cuiping came to ward off evil spirits again just at this time, and asked grandma to give her an evil spirit object at any price.
I know that grandma’s things are never easily given to people. I am very fond of Zhang Cuiping’s careless purchase of grandma’s things.
In a small mountain village in Zi Shan, the older generation speaks with awe. It is estimated that the older generation has also been explained by the older generation at home. Plus, the grandmother is amiable and polite to her.
I especially remember that my grandmother gave a copper coin and an iron pillar to my wife, thanking her for kowtowing directly. However, today, when I met a town and married Zhang Cuiping, I opened my mouth to buy grandma’s evil things and said that no matter how much it cost, it made my heart laugh.
Of course, my grandmother gave me copper coins from Tiezhu’s wife. I learned from my grandmother afterwards that the copper coins were not ordinary copper coins, but the copper coins engraved by my grandmother.
Zhang Cuiping came twice in one afternoon, and every time she finally made a concluding speech, she asked for something to ward off evil spirits, which made me laugh at her at the bottom of my heart. At the same time, I couldn’t help thinking that her man Li two dog died.
Li two dog died suddenly on the tenth day of the first month. Today, it is the seventeenth day of the first month, which happens to be the seventh ghost night of Li Jiaer’s dog head. Unless Li Jiatwo dog died suddenly, what’s wrong? I can’t help but glance at Zhang Cuiping more.
Zhang Cuiping is still dressed in exquisite makeup, but her eyes can’t hide her panic. The winter weather is already a little dark at this time. Zhang Cuiping and grandma are talking, and their eyes look at the sky outside from time to time
Grandma listened to Zhang Cuiping’s export to buy evil spirits and said with a smile that she didn’t come here to buy or sell evil spirits, and she didn’t have any ready-made evil spirits to give to Zhang Cuiping for the time being.
"Shen Po, you said that the soul of the first seven times will really come back on the first seven days." Zhang Cuiping saw the increasingly dark weather outside and spoke a little shivering
After listening to Zhang Cuiping’s words, grandma nodded and told Zhang Cuiping that the first seven souls are naturally true, but ghosts are also concerned about their families and usually don’t do anything out of line when they come back.
"You don’t usually do anything out of line. What would it be like if it weren’t for you?" Zhang Cuiping turned a little white and then asked Grandma.
"It’s not normal, so it’s hard to say that there will be many situations." Grandma still walked over to answer Zhang Cuiping’s question
"That Shen Po, can I stay in your house this night? I’m scared for the first seven times tonight." Zhang Cuiping’s forehead is now cold sweat oozing from his fingers, and his knuckles are all white with a scarf hanging down his chest.
There is no pronunciation in my room. I have been quietly listening to the conversation between Zhang Cuiping and grandma. When I heard that Zhang Cuiping wanted to stay at my house, I felt that Zhang Cuiping had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Even if Grandma agrees to let her stay, I will resolutely oppose this goodbye to Zhang Cuiping. I am extremely sympathetic to Zhang Cuiping.
"You and two dog are husband and wife, so what will he do to you? It’s not convenient for me to keep you here. You’d better go back and rest early." Grandma didn’t agree with Zhang Cuiping’s request.
Zhang Cuiping asked grandma a few more words to see that grandma had no intention of letting her stay and left in a hurry.
I sent Zhang Cuiping to the door to see Zhang Cuiping leave the road in a hurry and looked around from time to time, which made me convinced that there was a secret about Li two dog’s death.
But I don’t have the time to take care of strangers’ affairs. Just ask Zhang Cuiping to stop harassing me and grandma.
Grandma told me to watch the door later. She suddenly remembered that she needed to go to Aunt Wang’s house for something and would come back soon. I nodded and told grandma to go early and come back early.
I followed my grandmother when she left Maliu to see where she was going and what she was doing at this time.
I always knew that my grandmother had hidden too many things from me. Her starting point must be for my sake, but as I grew older, I became more and more interested in my grandmother’s affairs.
When my grandmother seldom goes out at night, she usually tells me where she went when she went out.
I used to believe my grandmother’s words, but it was accidental. I once asked her what she said, and it was not until she told her where she went the night before that I found out that what she said was all a lie.
From this, I feel that whenever my grandmother went out at home, she made up lies to hide something from me.
So this time, grandma said that she went to Aunt Wang’s house, and I didn’t believe it at all.
