Chapter 141 Open the house

Three days passed quickly, and my father's illness did not improve at all. He was still as big as a ball, just like a pregnant woman with a child, and even felt struggling to walk. Many times, my mother and I needed to support him, or even carry him. He would carry him to the yard during the day to bask in the sun, and then carry him back to the house at night.

Leizi arrived at my house the next night. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted: "Jiujizi, you kid are so indifferent, don't call me if you open a house tomorrow? Now you are so successful. You look down on me, a poor brother, right?"

We call house repairs here "opening a house", which means auspiciousness. When opening a house, you still need to do something. Inviting friends from all over the world means the meaning of a wedding, which is as grand as a wedding or funeral. Because for us, a house is the foundation of a family, and building a house is a big thing. In fact, this principle is very simple. It is like a city person who moves into a new home and wants to invite relatives and friends to visit the house as a guest.

So Leizi thought that I didn't inform him of the house, so he might be a little unhappy.

"Mom, find me some needles and thread!" My mother and I were serving the bowls and preparing to have a meal.

"What do you need for needlework?" asked my mother in confusion.

I said, "I want to sew Lei Zi's broken mouth with needle and thread!"

Lei Zi slapped her and quickly closed her mouth.

"Would you like to eat?" I asked Leizi.

"What do you think? My stomach is almost hungry!" Lei Zi was not polite, pulled the bench and sat down.

I put out two wine glasses and poured a glass for Leizi: "I don't know you're coming, so I haven't cooked a few dishes, so I'll order it!"

Leizi said: "Hey! Do you really treat me as an outsider? We drink, what kind of food do we care about? Let's drink in Longmen Street! When did you come back?"

"Two days ago!" I said.

"Auntie, sit down and have a meal!" Lei Zi greeted my mother, took a plate of scrambled eggs, put them on the tip of his nose and sniffed them: "Well, Auntie's cooking skills are great!"

The mother smiled and said, "Leizi, your mouth is like smearing honey all day long. In the future, I wonder how many little sisters will follow you! If half of our Jiujizi are able to speak, it would be great if you are half of you!"

Lei Zi picked up a chopstick and scrambled eggs: "What? Where did Brother Wei take you to have fun these days?"

"What a fun thing!" I took a sip of wine: "You don't know, we have done another big thing these days!"

"Big thing? What big thing?" Leizi clinked glasses with me, and immediately became interested and looked at me with curiosity.

"Let's talk about it back! Let's talk about it back!" I gave Lei Zi a wink and signaled not to say such things at the dinner table, because my mother was right next to her. I didn't want her to know some of the dangers I suffered outside, so as not to worry.

Lei Zi understood and called out: "Long time no see you, our brothers, have a long chat tonight!"

I gave Lei Zi a blank look: "Who is having a long talk with you? I'm shameless!"

Lei Zi smiled and said, "Hey, by the way, where is the second uncle, why don't the second uncle come out to have a meal?"

The "second uncle" mentioned by Leizi is my father. Because his father is the second in the Xiao family, Leizi always calls him second uncle.

"Oh, your second uncle has not felt very comfortable these days, so you can eat it slowly!" My mother hurriedly took a few bites of rice, then went into the kitchen to decoct medicine.

Lei Zi lowered his voice and asked me: "Do you second uncle get sick? When I entered the house just now, I smelled the boss's smell of Chinese medicine!"

I sighed: "Everyone is brother, I don't hide it from you. My father is indeed sick!"

"What disease? Is it serious?" Lei Zi asked.

I said, "I don't know! A strange disease! My stomach is bigger than a ball, like a pregnancy!"

"Ah?! There is also this strange disease?" Lei Zi shook his head: "I have never heard of it!"

"That's right, I'm so worried!" I took a sip of wine in a depressed way. When I thought of my father's strange disease, I felt so upset.

"It's okay, Uncle Second is kind-hearted and in good health. This little illness will not defeat him!" Lei Zi comforted me and said.

I shook my wine glass and nodded: "I hope so!"

I poured another glass of wine: "You said I won't inform you about opening a house. To be honest, I learned the news only when I got home. Originally, I thought my father was sick, so I could be a little late for opening a house. I'll talk about it when he gets sick! But my father disagreed. He said that everyone had been called and the deposit was paid. If it's a little late, it would be difficult to find someone!"

Lei Zi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! I'm not here to eat for free. As soon as the work starts tomorrow, I will work with you!"

I patted Leizi on the shoulder: "I can't be grateful if you can come. Just work down. Dangdang supervisor will be successful!"

"By the way, are you going to build a new house or repair this old house?" Leizi asked me.

I said, "From my personal perspective, of course I want to build a new house. This old house has been born too long and I am afraid of safety risks. But my father had agreed with someone before, just repair it. I will talk to the contractor tomorrow to see what he means. If the price is right, just build a new house directly!"

"Royalty! Brother Xiao Jiu is worthy of being Master Kuan!" Lei Zi gave me a thumbs up.

"Get out! Get out!" I waved my hand and pushed Lei Zi away. This kid would make fun of me if he had nothing to do.

It sounds quite generous to build a new house, but it is not the case. The living standards were not high at that time, and the living standards in the countryside were even lower. The Dogwa, opposite our family, last year, built a new house in order to ask for a wife, and only cost 20,000 yuan.

In the countryside, the land is your own, and you can repair it as much as you want. If you have money, you can build larger houses and smaller houses without money. Therefore, you can see houses everywhere in the countryside, including two floors and three floors and one floor. Rich families also have four floors and one floor. Even if you have money, you can also build small foreign buildings.

Basically, if you buy a house with a base on the second floor or a base on the third floor, you can basically get it done if you buy a house with a base on the second floor or a base on the third floor. So for me, I want to spend 50,000 yuan to build a new house. However, I am a little worried that my father's house was left by my grandmother, and I am worried that he will not be willing to demolish it.

After dinner, Leizi and I went to bed early.

I have suffered from insomnia in the past two days, and there are so many troubles one after another.

Chen Xiucai's life and death are uncertain, and his father has a strange disease again. I still remember the orphanage matters in my heart. Whenever night comes, these things come, and they are heavy on my heart, making me unable to sleep.

I leaned against the window and stared at the dark night sky in a daze.

Lei Zi was holding a cigarette in his mouth and smoking it all over again. In the darkness, the cigarette butts flickered.

"Jiuyizi, you seem to have a lot of worries recently, and you look sad. You were not like this before!" Leizi said, spitting out smoke rings.

"Hey!" I sighed heavily. Yes, I have had many worries recently. In addition to the worries, I also have a lot of problems in my heart. Sometimes I feel that these problems are so numerous that it seems to be thrusting my head.

What exactly is the thing Ku Junwei mentioned when he was in Bai Mansion?

When I was in the charity village, why didn’t that thousand-year-old white skin kill me? Not only did she not kill me, she seemed to know me, but she also knew me? I am less than 20 years old, how could I know a thousand-year-old white skin?

Also, when I was injured and unconscious on the construction site, I vaguely heard the conversation between Chen Xiucai and Ku Junwei. Although Ku Junwei denied it later, I still vaguely remember their conversation. Chen Xiucai had something to hide from me. What did he do to sorry for me? Why do I hope I don’t hate him? He is my master and my savior. Why do I hate him?

And what secret is Ku Junwei keeping? Why did he hide it from me?

Also, what makes me most worried is why when I break through the third level of Zhuyou, a layer of green hair crawls out of my body?

Since the green hair crawled out of my body that night, I have had several nightmares during this period, dreaming that I was dead, a cold and stiff dead person, but I was conscious that I could clearly see the things around me. I lay in an abandoned construction site, sometimes in a weed, and I saw a pair of green eyes flashing in the dark, approaching me like a ghost.

It was a pair of cat eyes. I saw a black cat slowly walking to me. A strange light flashed in the black cat's pupils. For some reason, I was afraid of this black cat from the bottom of my heart. I tried desperately to resist, but my body couldn't move at all.

The black cat rushed forward, as if it was rushing into my body, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

It seemed as if a strange current was spreading throughout my body. I saw myself standing up straight. The terrifying green hair was like the tender grass of spring, crawling over my body at an extremely fast speed. I was shocked!

Fangs grew wildly in my mouth, piercing the corners of my lips, and the bloodthirsty desire rushes deep in my heart. I couldn't help but open my mouth and hissed at the sky. A strong corpse gas spewed out of my mouth, and my corpse changed!

"Don't be too nervous, did Brother Wei say that you are just a change caused by cultivation! If I can practice like you, let alone green hair, I will be willing to give birth to a pair of wings!" Lei Zi comforted me with a smile, and I rolled my eyes. I really don't know whether he is comforting or slapping people.

I said angrily: "Grow a pair of wings? Then you become a bird? Then you are a birdman?"

Lei Zi scratched his head: "Hey, it's not right, why do I always feel like you are hurting me? That's great, tell me what happened in the past few days. Didn't you say something big happened?"

I informed Lei Zi about what happened in the orphanage these days, including later following to Hengyang, fighting with the Quan Sect, and destroying an elder of the Quan Sect, and Lei Zi was excited to hear it: "Damn it! I didn't expect that you have done so many exciting things in just a few days! If you go to the orphanage next time, take me with you. You can't finish all the good things. I also need to accumulate some merits!"

"Okay!" I responded and said, "By the way, how is your mother's illness?"

Lei Zi said: "You think the medicine in the city is a magical medicine. My mother is an old problem and it is not so easy to recover. However, the medicine prescribed in regular hospitals is really effective. I obviously feel that her health has improved a lot in the past few days!"
