Lao Dao walked to the main room and found Chang Xing wandering around the yard with his son in his arms.
"Hey, the little baby hasn't woken up yet?" the old man asked a little strangely.
"I woke up early and was playing outside with me." Chang Xing said with a hint of pride in his tone.
"How is it possible? You lied to me, right?" The old Taoist naturally didn't believe it.
"What did I lie to you for? Look, he's awake and his eyes are still chattering." Chang Xing carried his son to the old man.
The old man was a little confused. Didn't this little guy not like his father at all before? Why did he change so easily?
"Give me a hug." The old man stretched out his hands.
"Okay, I'll give you a hug." Chang Xing readily handed the little guy to Lao Dao.
Who would have thought that as soon as the old man took it into his hands, the little guy started crying.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Little guy, has Master forgotten everything? Did he forget everything after a nap?" The old man panicked and quickly hugged the little guy and kept rocking it. Usually this works very well, but today at 1 o'clock
None of it worked, the little guy kept crying, and the more he cried, the more excited he became.
"Are you hungry?" The old Taoist was very confused.
"No, I just had enough." Chang Xing pretended not to know the reason.
"The kid is getting hungry quickly, so hurry up and carry him over." The old Taoist reluctantly handed the little guy into Chang Xing's hands.
The little guy stopped crying when he got into Chang Xing's hands and seemed very comfortable. This made the old man depressed.
"What's going on? Why don't you want me to hug you today?" The old Taoist thought carefully and found that there was no spell that could make the little guy like to be hugged. But the old Taoist didn't expect Chang Xing to use spiritual energy to cheat.
"I don't know what's going on. He really liked my hug today. Maybe he owed me something before, and he wants to make it up to me today?" Chang Xing said.
"How is it possible?" The old Taoist naturally didn't believe it.
Chang Xing didn't know if this spiritual energy would have any side effects on the little guy, so he didn't dare to cheat without limit. After hugging him for a while, and because he was hungry, the little guy stopped doing it.
It was only in the afternoon that the old man hugged the little guy. He still didn't quite understand what happened in the morning.
Wu Wanyi felt something and asked Chang Xing quietly: "You must have done something famous today. Tell me honestly, what did you do?"
How can you admit this? Chang Xing naturally won't admit it. Anyway, when the little guy starts to rely on him, he will stop cheating. Cheating can't be said even if he is beaten to death.
"Hmph! Don't think that I won't know if you don't tell me. You must have done something wrong. If you don't tell me, I will tell Master." Wu Wanyi threatened.
"It's useless for you to tell Master. I really didn't do anything. My son likes to be held by me. What can I do?" Chang Xing will not be fooled.
Naturally, it was impossible for Wu Wanyi to really tell Lao Tao, otherwise Lao Tao would definitely be so angry that he would stare.
Seeing the old Tao happily hugging the little guy, Chang Xing smiled and did not argue with the old Tao. Winter is coming, and there are still a lot of things to do at home. Chang Xing has to do these things. Carrying a handful
The ax left the house. On the way to chop wood, he met Zhang Dalei.
Zhang Dalei was very angry with Chang Xing: "Chang Xing, since you married your mother-in-law, you have stopped playing with me. Xilai and Hongbing both went to college, and now I am a loner."
"You have been practicing Zhuang Kung Fu for so long, but why are there no results at all? Are you still so fat? By the way, you will call me Senior Brother when you see me in the future, you know? Otherwise, I can teach you a lesson at any time." Chang Xing said.
"I've been fooled by your old master. It's like being driven away by him every morning. You don't know how hard it is to do Zhanzhuang Gong." Zhang Dalei kept complaining.
"Hold on. I have practiced Zhuang Kung Fu, and I still practice it every day. I have practiced it longer than you, and I am better than you. Jin Lin has also practiced it. He was older than you when he practiced, but he practiced harder than you. You just
You've suffered so little and you're just complaining about everything? You really have no future. If you stay like this, you will never want to ask for a mother-in-law in your life. Even if you ask for a mother-in-law, you will only be ugly." Chang Xing said.
"Why are you all like this? Do you look down on me? From now on, I will definitely find a woman more beautiful than your teacher Wu." Zhang Dalei said angrily.
"You can ask for it later." Chang Xing said disdainfully.
Winter is coming. Before it snows and the mountain is closed by heavy snow, people in Xianjiqiao must make full preparations for the coming winter. Prepare enough firewood and burn some charcoal to use in the winter.
Drive away the cold.
In the twelfth lunar month, heavy snow covered the mountain village of Xianjiqiao as usual. There were ice stains hanging from the eaves.
Chang Xing could tell who the owner of the voice was, and it turned out to be Zhang Xilai.
"Hello!" Chang Xing responded, opened the door and walked out.
Zhang Xilai did not enter the yard, but stood outside the fence.
"Are you back today?" Chang Xing smiled.
"Yeah. I just came back and haven't gone back to the house yet. I'll go play at home later." Zhang Xilai said.
"Yes." Chang Xing nodded.
Zhang Xilai smiled and walked home.
"Who is it?" Wu Wanyi asked when she saw Chang Xing entering the room.
"Xilai, I just came back. I think I came back to celebrate the New Year." Chang Xing said.
"He should be assigned work, right?" Wu Wanyi said.
"I heard that I have been assigned to work. I have been assigned to Qingshui City. From now on, I will be a cadre who eats the national food." Chang Xing said.
"If you recommend going to university, you should be able to become a national cadre, right? Why didn't you go back then?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"It's not a loss to please a good wife." Chang Xing said with a smile.
The old Taoist said: "In the past, we cultivators didn't even bother to deal with people from the government."
"Master, you can just say this at home. If you say it outside, be careful of getting criticized," Chang Xing said.
"Am I stupid? To be honest, the little guy is so clingy to you now. Did you do something wrong?" asked the old Taoist.
"No, what can I do? Master, you are serious. When I couldn't hold Chang Qing in my arms, why didn't I suspect you of doing anything?" Chang Xing naturally refused to admit it.
"Don't lie to me. Although I don't have much talent in cultivation, I can still feel the spiritual energy. Every time you hold the little guy, the spiritual energy around you is particularly full. Later I found out that you must have taken
The little one will become more and more attached to you if your energy shakes him up." The old man actually saw it accidentally.
Chang Xing did not deny it and smiled: "Xilai is back. I'll go to his house to play."
"Go, go." The old Taoist waved his hand and hugged his disciple tightly.
When Chang Xing came to Zhang Xilai's house, Zhang Xilai's house was crowded with people from Xianjiqiao.
"Oh, Xilai, you have become a state cadre now. I told you that you will be promising when you grow up. Look, now you are eating state food and have become a cadre."
"Uncle Man, I just work in the agency, just a small clerk, not a cadre." Zhang Xilai said quickly.
"That's better than the cadres of the commune. You are so young and still a college student. You will definitely become a high official in the future."
"Xilai, have you found someone to talk to? From now on, you'll be looking for a woman from the city, preferably a state cadre. Even if you throw away the hoe handle completely."
"Not yet. Let's wait until work stabilizes."
Zhang Xilai was surrounded by people in the village. When he saw Chang Xing coming, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd.
"Chang Xing, come in and sit down. We haven't talked together for a long time." Zhang Xilai quickly greeted Chang Xing.
Chang Xing smiled: "You came back from leave?"
"No. I took several days off and had to rush back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. It will not be easy to go back to Xianjiqiao for the New Year in the future." Zhang Xilai said.
"Yeah. It's a little far away. How did you get in?" Chang Xing asked.
"When Qingshui arrived in the county, we couldn't take a car and walked dozens of miles. Alas, our brigade was a little too remote. Taiping Bridge was completely blocked by heavy snow in winter, and there was no car. I walked for a whole
What a genius. If it gets dark, you might slip down the mountain accidentally," Zhang Xilai said.
Chang Xing began to hear something strange in Zhang Xilai's words, which Zhang Xilai revealed at will. Zhang Xilai became a city person, slowly evolved into a city person, and began to become different from the people of Xianjiqiao.
Although his roots are still in Xianjiqiao, he has become different from ordinary Xianjiqiao people.
The two of them were not talking about the right topic. Chang Xing could predict that as time went by, the two of them would have less and less to talk about in the future.
"Let's go after dinner in the evening. We haven't had a drink together in so many years. We won't come home until we get drunk today!" Zhang Xilai said.
"Why didn't Da Lei come?" Chang Xing suddenly realized that Da Lei had never been seen.
"This guy didn't come to see me until I called him. When I came back, he didn't even come," Zhang Xilai said.
"Then let's go call Da Lei over and have a drink together." Chang Xing said.
"There are so many people in my family, how can I go anywhere? If Da Lei knows I'm coming back, he will definitely come back," Zhang Xilai said.
"He may not know that you are back." Chang Xing said.
"How is it possible? I just got home and everyone in the brigade knows about it. Da Lei will definitely know." Zhang Xilai said.
"You're not free, I'll call him." Chang Xing said.
"I'm sorry to bother you. I really can't leave. Everyone knows that I'm back and my relatives and friends are here. If I go out, others will think that I have become a state cadre and look down on my relatives." Zhang Xilai said helplessly.
"How about this? You entertain everyone at home today, and we can get together some other time," Chang Xing said.
Zhang Xilai nodded: "Okay. Chang Xing, I'm really sorry for today. Let's get together in two days."
Chang Xing walked out from Zhang Xilai and suddenly felt that the world had become much quieter.
When I walked to the yard of Zhang Dalei's house, I found Zhang Dalei busy in the yard.
"Dalei, I thought you were sleeping in. Xilai is back, why don't you go?" Chang Xing asked.
"There are guests at home today. Who knows that this guy will come back today and wait until evening." Zhang Dalei said mysteriously.
Chang Xing saw Zhang Dalei looking a little weird and said with a smile: "Could it be that you are seeing someone today?"
Zhang Dalei laughed out loud. Apparently Chang Xing guessed it right.
"Is anyone here?" Chang Xing asked.
"It hasn't arrived yet. I put it at Uncle Maolin's house. It was introduced by Aunt Yuchun. It's her niece from her mother's family," Zhang Dalei said.
"Okay, then you go and dress up. I'll go back first." Chang Xing said.
