Celestial Master Cultivation Diary

Chapter 247 246. This is your granddaughter-in-law

The two bought spicy sticks and some firecrackers, and they ate them with babbles, which finally made some noises along the way.

"I heard that you originally wanted to stay in the army?"

"Ah."

"Then why are you back?"

Brother Zhuzi moved his lips, but he couldn't say the reason, but he was a little bit resentful towards the little grandpa in his words.

Li Zhe didn't know how to relieve such a depressed person.

He doesn't have Lin Youyou's contagious power, he can shine into other people's lives like a little sun, making people regain themselves and have a bright heart.

When I returned to the village, several uncles were still chatting, forming a circle with a new face inside.

Li Zhe looked at the tall figure and pointed from a distance: "Who is that? Peng, Peng..."

Brother Zhuzi said softly, "Peng Junfei."

"Oh yes." Li Zhe nodded: "He is so tall."

Peng Junfei, the son of his third uncle's family, was one year younger than the two of them, and took his mother's surname.

Since the third grandfather left early, the family seldom came back for the New Year. If it wasn't for seeing the third uncle standing next to him, Li Zhe wouldn't be able to think about it for a while.

"Uncle Three!"

"Yo, the young master is here too."

Hearing his jokes, Li Zhe smiled, picked up the bag and passed drinks to everyone.

In the past, this small store only sold fake products, such as Leibi, Six Peach Pit, Baishi Cola, Yueliyue, etc., which made people angry and funny.

This year, I don't know whether it was a conscience discovery or a rectification, and finally started selling serious snacks.

You have a bottle of Coke, and I have a bottle of iced black tea. Everyone politely thanked them, and took a bottle each during the refusal, and then started the unfinished topic just now-work.

Li Zhe listened for a few minutes before he realized that this little guy surnamed Peng graduated from a police academy and is now working at a local police station.

"Then have you ever caught a thief?"

Peng Junfei smiled and waved his hands, as if he was reporting work to his fellow villagers.

After being on the job for so many days, I thought that after becoming a policeman, I could catch thieves and criminals, but in fact their job is really just to serve the people—one family lost a dog today, and the other lost a cat tomorrow. Quarrels, neighborhood disputes... other than that, patrolling, meetings, writing reports, and occasionally going to be a security guard when there is any activity.

If there is any major case, it is not something they should be excited about. The Criminal Investigation Division and the Serious Crime Squad are in charge.

Listening to his narration, Li Zhe suddenly felt that the Celestial Master seemed to be similar to the grassroots police. He thought he could slay demons and slay demons, and use his sword to reach the end of the world, but the result is that monsters quarrel, monsters fight, monsters fight and fight every day...

I used to be a peacemaker every day, and no one even reimbursed my car fare.

Peng Junfei felt that he had no passion for his work, but a bunch of uncles and grandparents thought it was fine.

In life, the truth is plain and ordinary. If you really want to fight every day, that's called killing your life.

"Where is the young master? Are you still making a lot of money in Jinghai?"

Seeing that the topic was suddenly brought to him, Li Zheyun brushed it off lightly: "It's still the same, let's eat."

"Mum? Didn't you come back?"

"It's at grandma's house, come back tomorrow."

"Oh..." Hearing that my sister-in-law was not here, the uncles started a poker game: "Then come to play mahjong tonight? Does your father play?"

……

In this small village, Han Mei's "Biao" is well known, not because she is aggressive, but because no one dares to mess with her.

"Don't look at my sister-in-law's cheerfulness. If you really want to make me unhappy, she won't give anyone face."

I don't know who said this first, but it spread among the brothers, so that they only asked Li Lei for borrowing money, and never dared to ask Han Mei.

According to Han Mei's words, people are good at being bullied, and Ma Shan is being ridden by others.

When she first got married back then, no one would take care of her face, and she was often squeezed out behind her back.

Now, if there is something that you don't like, then don't talk about the nonsense of "happy Chinese New Year makes money". She is outspoken, and she will speak out when she is upset, and it is the kind of face to face.

After all, face is earned by oneself, not given by others.

It's a pity that Li Zhe failed to inherit this chicness, and even every time he rejected someone, he had to rack his brains to find an excuse.

In his eyes, anyone who dares to say "no" is very powerful.

Ever since, Young Master Li, who couldn't say "no", was forced to play mahjong with his uncles and grandparents all night.

Li Lei scolded him for being addicted to cards at such a young age, while watching him all night.

Early the next morning, the father and son stumbled out of the house together, delirious.

Mahjong is actually a small imported product for Lijiacun—it was Li Lei who brought it back because he thought it was interesting when he went out to work.

Then it became out of control, and it directly became a fixed item in the village every year, and it was highly sought after.

It can be said that apart from Han Mei, there is no one who doesn't like to fight.

"Son, the car keys are at the door. I'll pick up your mother later."

"I want to sleep."

"How do you sleep, young man?" Li Lei flicked the key, rattling: "If you don't go, I'll tell your mother that you played mahjong all night."

"Then I'll tell her you've been watching all night."

"..."

"..."

"Pick it up in the afternoon."

"Let's go together in the afternoon."

The father and son reached a rare consensus and went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

The old lady came out to greet them for breakfast, but was fooled by a few words. Looking at the closed doors, she couldn't help shaking her head: "We still need Meizi to come back, so we can take care of them..."

……

Thousands of miles away, Lin Youyou was lying on the table, next to the newly edited video.

Even if she was unresponsive, she felt something was wrong now—sleepy, too sleepy.

After Li Zhe left, she felt like she couldn't sleep enough, and she yawned non-stop.

It wasn't physical fatigue, but mental fatigue. After waking up and working for less than half an hour, my mind stopped thinking and I clamored for a rest.

After learning about this, Li Zhe immediately expressed that he wanted to go back, but she sternly refused, and finally thought about it, and took off the hair rope on his hand.

Although it didn't make her jump up and down immediately, at least she was much less sleepy.

Xiao Nizi suddenly felt very strange: "Hey, why?"

"Maybe it's because all my abilities come from you?" Li Zhe thought for a while, and had some guesses in his heart: "The distance between us is too far, so your burden has increased?"

Listening to this speculation, Lin Youyou couldn't help complaining: "Why do you call yourself like a parasite?"

"That's right, Master Zhen also thinks so."

Li Zhe shrugged, disapproving, and after a pause, he said: "No, he still heard this idea from Lin Tianshi from Lingshan...but the Lord of Lingshan is much calmer than him, and he didn't give away his white mask. outlawed."

Without the white mask, whether they could have escaped from the siege before is two things to say.

Too lazy to care about these doorways, Lin Youyou exhaled and muttered: "It's so boring, what are you doing there?"

"Play majiang."

"……anything else?"

"Play mahjong all night."

"..."

Feeling her speechlessness, Li Zhe talked about his serious arrangements: "I will pick up my mother in a while, and then I will stick to the door later. I will set off fireworks tomorrow night, and then watch the Spring Festival Gala. I will continue to set off fireworks when I see zero o'clock."

"That's called staying up."

"Yes, Shou Sui."

"We don't show fireworks here." Lin Youyou's aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone: "I can only watch the Spring Festival Gala."

Li Zhe thought for a while: "I'll make a video call for you later."

"it is good!"

Xiao Nizi was elated, and suddenly looked forward to this New Year's Eve.

……

In the afternoon, the father and son went out together, bought some New Year's goods on the street, bought some fireworks and firecrackers, and then went to grandma's house to pick up the bishop for breakfast.

Han Mei never went to ask them why they came so late. If possible, she would like to stay at her mother's house for one more night, or simply celebrate the New Year here.

After returning, Li Zhe followed his grandfather to make paste, and then he was busy in the front yard and backyard to paste the door.

He bought the couplets on red paper and asked Niu Liang to write them for him. The wooden doors in the countryside are relatively large, so they need wider couplets to stick to look good. Most of the printed couplets on the market are thin and long, which do not match well.

And now these couplets coming out of the assembly line are basically very fancy, not to mention the various patterns, they still shine with golden light from a distance.

Although it is indeed very beautiful, in Li Zhe's opinion, this kind of old house is more tasteful with simple black and white letters on red paper.

Then use Polaroid's less clear pixels to take pictures, it feels like an old photo.

Rao even Lin Youyou expressed admiration for this, I don't know if it is admiration: "Sure enough, apart from making me look ugly, you can take good-looking pictures of everything else."

"..."

……

The next day, with Han Mei in charge, Xiao Li and Lao Li were very honest and did not waste their lives on the mahjong table.

But these boring days always need to find something to do, so the father and son encouraged several other uncles, and a group of big men ran into the field to set wildfires together.

The so-called wildfire is to go to the fields to burn those weeds and straw.

Several men are hundreds of years old together, and each of them ran into the field with a lighter, happily like a child of two hundred catties.

Not only that, but also who is more angry than who, and who is more judged if caught.

The flames were rising, and the crackling could be heard several miles away. Han Mei and the other sister-in-laws folded their hands in front of the courtyard to see the smoke, and couldn't help sighing.

"childish."

"childish."

"Nothing to say."

"..."

On the side of the raging fire, Li Zhe held up his mobile phone, bared his big white teeth and yelled at Lin Youyou: "Have you seen this scene before?"

"...are you setting fire?"

"Yeah, set off wildfire, look at the fire, it's so tall! I'm afraid it must be four or five meters!"

"...Isn't it illegal?"

"There are no mountains here, so we can't burn it out. We can only burn it in our own fields, and it will go out in a while." Li Zhe shook the camera, and a few uncles were also taking pictures: "Their fire is not as big as mine. Is it awesome?"

"...It's amazing."

Lin Youyou looked at the screen and scratched his head, not understanding his enjoyment of playing with fire: "I heard that playing with fire will wet the bed."

"..."

Affected by her words, when Li Zhe got up at night to go to the toilet at night, he would pinch his thighs to make sure if he was dreaming.

Don't go to the toilet in the dream, this is his painful childhood lesson.

New Year's Eve.

Every household is hung high with red lanterns, brightly lit.

Li Zhe dialed the video call, and after connecting, he silently lit a cigarette without saying a word.

On the other side of the screen, Lin Youyou looked at the coughing man, and couldn't help but ask a question mark on his forehead: "What are you doing..."

"Smoking, ahem, can't you tell?"

"..."

"Cough cough..."

After being choked again, Li Zhe gave up the idea of ​​concave shape, reversed the camera, and handed the picture to Heiye.

On the open space in front of the court, there was a long string of firecrackers lying on the ground, and there was a big square firework beside it: "Which one do you want to set off?"

"Why do you smoke?"

"Because it is necessary to light the fire, the wind is too strong at night, and the lighter is easy to go out-quickly choose, which one do you want to put? I will help you light the fire."

"Oh~"

Suddenly realized and nodded, Lin Youyou didn't even think about it: "I want to set off fireworks!"

"okay."

Li Lei lit the firecrackers, Li Zhe lit the fireworks, Lin Youyou watched with wide eyes, not daring to blink, just watched Li Ge put the cigarette on the fuse, and then it sizzled.

"It's on! Run, run! Brother Li!"

"Run away!"

Across the screen, Xiao Nizi was inexplicably nervous, and then waited for a long time amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers, and finally saw a flame soaring into the sky, and exploded into gorgeous flowers in the roar.

The eldest family took the lead, and the rest of the families also started to light fireworks one after another. For a while, red paper was flying, and the sky was full of fireworks.

With the sound of firecrackers a year old, the spring breeze sent warmth to Tusu.

In the camera, Li Zhe roared and didn't know what he was talking about, and then the camera turned, from far to near, and everywhere he looked were fireworks, lighting up the last night sky of the year.

Lin Youyou clasped her little hands and looked at the Wanjia fireworks on the screen, feeling so beautiful.

It's a pity that there are only a few stars outside the window behind her.

Li Zhe was still yelling on the phone, Lin Youyou listened to it for a long time, and finally heard one sentence clearly - "Make a wish!"

Yes, make a wish, whether it is fireworks or shooting stars, it is worth a beautiful vision to take us to the future.

She no longer remembers how many times she has made a wish this year, but this does not affect her making many more.

After the fireworks at home were finished, the phone became much quieter. Although there were still crackling sounds of New Year's Eve, at least I could hear the other party's words clearly: "Why are they still playing?"

"Those are other villages. Anyway, the fireworks will not stop tonight."

Li Zhe turned around in a circle, and fireworks bloomed in 360 degrees: "It can last until next year."

Lin Youyou looked at the camera eagerly, envious: "Then will you play it later?"

"I'm going to have a New Year's Eve dinner in a while, and I'll put on a group of New Year's Eve after midnight."

"I want to see I want to see!"

Li Zhe laughed loudly: "Poor city people... come to pay New Year's greetings to grandparents?"

"..."

Before Xiao Nizi was ready, she saw two strange and old faces in the camera, and she stuttered for a while: "Grandpa...Hello grandpa...Happy Chinese New Year!"

On the other side of the screen, Li Zhe bared his big white teeth and yelled at the elder: "My girlfriend, your granddaughter-in-law."

"..."

Lin Youyou blushed immediately, and then heard the two old people say a few words in a strong local accent. Although they didn't quite understand them, they always felt that they were very kind words - after all, those smiling faces and eyes would also say.

Li Zhe was translating at the side: "They said you are beautiful."

The little girl faltered and became shy.

No, she will let this dog man meet her grandparents in a while, and embarrass him too!
