Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 172 Tell a Little Story

The stars are bright and the sky is cloudless.

The pale white Milky Way sets off the night sky into an orchid one. Instead of the gloominess of the night, it reveals a gem-like transparency.

After dinner, Wang Aiduo glanced at the sky, and his shoulders immediately slumped. He simply stopped pretending, went back to the house angrily, and walked out with a cattail leaf in his arms.

He spread it on the ground without saying a word and lay down on it.

"Damn girl, who provoked you again?"

When Li Yuzhu saw her lying outside, she glared and was about to scold her, but it could be seen that her expression was wrong, so she swallowed it back and muttered: "You have a dark face, as if you owe someone."

"God messed with me!"

Si Ya was lying on the mat, kicking her feet, "Damn it!"

Wang Chengzhou blinked his eyes and thought to himself: Could it be that this girl is affected by Little Pepper, has PTSD, and is afraid of a gloomy life?
"It's so hot!"

Unexpectedly, Si Ya pouted, lying on the mat, twisting her limbs like a gecko, "God really doesn't even look at me!"

"Look at it today, it's so sunny that it's cleaner than my face. It will definitely be sunny again tomorrow."

"Can't He make some rain to cool off?"

The corner of Wang Chengzhou's mouth twitched, feeling that he still underestimated Wang Aiduo's strength. He returned to the room speechlessly, also took out the mat, and lay down next to her.

Li Yuzhu rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Wang Honghe smiled and said:

"Girl, we are making bricks. What should we do if it rains?"

"If the beaten bricks are exposed to heavy rain, won't they all turn into mud?"

“Sunny days are better than rainy days!”

Si Ya was still dissatisfied and said sternly: "Then it can't be cloudy and it doesn't rain. How can we cool off?"

The whole family laughed.

When Wang Chengzhou heard this, he remembered a story and said immediately:
"Si Ya, if you were asked to be God, you would definitely be incompetent.

"Your imagination is too poor."

"Are you satisfied if it doesn't rain on sunny days?"

When Si Ya heard this, she was not happy and said angrily:

"Wang Chengzhou, you are the only one who can do it!"

"Don't think that I don't understand anything. God is not easy to deal with."

"Didn't you listen to that poem?"

When Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu saw the brother and sister bickering, they both sat and listened with smiles, and did not mention urging them to go to bed early.

"It's hard to make the weather look like it's April. Silkworms should be warm and wheat should be cold. Farmers looking for sunny days while walking look for rain, and mulberry-picking ladies look for cloudy weather."

Si Ya shook her head and actually recited a poem.

Wang Chengzhou vaguely remembered hearing it.

It seems to be a Jiangnan ballad recorded in "Yu Shi Ming Yan" by Feng Menglong of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu were surprised. They didn't expect that their little girl actually had some ink in her belly.

As a simple farmer, I like to listen to these things that I don’t understand very much, but I know that they are literate as soon as I hear them. I can’t help but smile.

“It’s difficult to do things as you wish, that’s because you don’t know how to plan as a whole.”

Wang Chengzhou showed no sign of weakness, crossed his legs and told the story in his memory:
"It is said that the Kitchen God and God are two brothers, but their situations are completely different.

One can only hide in the kitchen of the human world and record the trivial things that happen in thousands of households; the other stays in the heavenly palace, enjoying the wine and jade liquid, sitting and watching the singing and dancing.

Regarding this, the Kitchen God was very unbalanced.I feel like they are all born from the same mother. Why should you enjoy happiness in heaven while I suffer in the world?

So, taking advantage of the day of "Zo Ci", I went back to heaven to report the good and evil of each family, and also asked God for an explanation.

After listening to his brother's complaints, God felt guilty and felt a little sorry for him, so he resigned from the position of Emperor of Heaven and asked him to take over the Heavenly Court and become the Stove King on earth. The two of them would take turns.

The Stove Lord ascended to heaven in one step and was overjoyed. Before he could enjoy the singing and dancing of the gods and the peaches in the Yaochi, suddenly, a god came to repay him. He said that the power of the wish below was so strong that it reached the heaven. Something big must have happened in the world and he needed to make a personal decision.

The Kitchen God went happily.

After investigation, it was discovered that it turned out that due to the severe drought, the seedlings of the farmers were about to wither, and they were about to lose their harvest. They were in a miserable situation, and their voices were heard directly by God.

The Stove Lord had been in the world for a long time, so naturally he couldn't bear it, so he immediately ordered the Dragon King to make clouds and rain.

However, as soon as the destiny was given, another ray of wish floated up.

It turned out that he was the owner of a group of dyeing workshops. He had worked hard to dye a lot of cloth and needed the sun. When he saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds and it was about to rain, he was so anxious that he kowtowed and burned incense. He was afraid that all his efforts would be ruined. He prayed to God not to rain. rain.

The Kitchen God quickly stopped the Dragon King, but suddenly he was in trouble.

At this time, another group of boatmen began to pray, saying that it was too hard to punt in the summer, and praying that God would give some strong winds so that the boats could set sail and lighten their burden.

When the Kitchen God heard this, he realized that this was easy to do, so he waved his hand and said, "Xingfeng!" '

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cry.

It turned out that a group of orchardists were frightened when they saw a sudden strong wind. They were afraid that the flowers in the orchard would be blown off by the strong wind before they were pollinated, and the fruit trees would not be able to bear fruit, and they would be hungry in the future. They hurriedly asked God not to blow.

The Stove Lord's raised hand froze in mid-air. For a moment, he felt dizzy and confused, and he was so anxious that he almost pulled off his beard.

Looking at the suffering of all the people, he realized his shortcomings and quickly sent someone to invite God back.

When God saw it, he laughed, shook his head and said:

'Isn't that simple? '

'The wind comes from the river bend and does not pass through the orchards; it dries cloth in the daytime and waters the fields at night. '

'It seems that my brother has been the Stove Lord for too long and is not used to the job in heaven! '

As soon as the words fell, order in the world was restored, everything was smooth and orderly.

The Kitchen God was stunned.

Hearing this, he was so embarrassed that he never mentioned the rotation again and went to the next term to be in charge of good and evil. "

The whole family listened with gusto.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu even clapped their hands excitedly, praising God's wisdom.

Wang Aiduo swayed her little feet and her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky. After thinking for a long time, she said:
"Brother, you haven't solved the problem of the mulberry-picking lady yet."

"People want the cloudy weather to cool them off, so don't mess around."

"If God doesn't solve tomorrow's matter for me, I won't accept it."

Wang Chengzhou choked and squeezed her face hard, "What a big deal!"

"Do you still need to trouble God?"

"Call over the little lady picking mulberries, and I'll just fan her."

Siya didn't say anything, and reached out to take the cattail leaf fan and put it into his hand, "Here, let's fan."

Looking at the two brothers and sisters staring at each other with big eyes, Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu couldn't help laughing.

Pfft!
Unexpectedly, while I was smiling, someone suddenly fell down from the wall.

"Ouch!"

He screamed when he fell, rubbed his ankles, limped to his feet, bared his little white teeth and forced a smile and said: "Wang Chengzhou, I didn't expect you to be quite good at telling stories."
