Chapter 13: Talking to Mr. Qi about being a master
No, she had to help tell the story in the village that Bao'er Fuwa had brought great blessings again, but she couldn't let those gossips in the village offend the masters.
Daye's wife has lived in the village all her life and has no foresight or overall perspective. However, people who have lived for decades are still more understanding than young people about some of the most basic and simple truths.
Let's talk about Bao'er's master master. Bao'er is the lucky baby in the village. They like and love Bao'er from the bottom of their hearts. Can Master Bao'er not care about them more for the sake of everyone's sincerity to Bao'er?
Master, Brother Wenlu just said that Master Baoer knocked away the Qihe family's daughter without even showing her face. The Qihe family's eating habit is as round as a ball. Even a man can push her face to face.
Maybe it can be pushed down.
With such an expert in their village, wouldn't they be safer?
On the contrary, if such a master is offended, the anger will not be silenced by killing someone.
Daye's daughter-in-law wanted to go all the way away when she thought about it. It wasn't until the cool breeze hit her that she suddenly came back to her senses and saw that she was already under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.
A group of old men and old ladies were sitting on the stone pillars surrounding the banyan tree under the banyan tree, chatting. Old man Qi had already squeezed into the crowd of elderly people with Qi Bao'er in his arms. Qi Bao'er was standing on Old Qi's lap, giving her to the left and right.
The old man shared the candy.
This is another scene in the village in recent years. They will not refuse when Qi Bao'er gives sweets to the old man and old lady. Firstly, this is a child's filial piety to his elders. Secondly, he is more or less afraid of death when he gets old. They
I feel that eating the things given by Fuwawa will bring me blessings. The greatest blessing for the elderly is not only that they can live a few more years.
Not to mention, no matter who sees this scene, they have to say that the village customs in Qijia Village are good, and it is a beautiful scene of kindness at the top and filial piety at the bottom.
In the past, on occasions like this, a group of grandparents would all praise and pray for the baby. They all wanted to hold the little fat baby in their arms, even if it was just a short time.
But today, everyone just praised Qi Bao'er a few words, and then the atmosphere became somewhat condensed. They all looked like they were hesitant to speak.
In this era, there is a lack of medical treatment and food shortage, so people who take common pills have a short life span. Generally, people like Old Man Qi who are in their early fifties can already live a long life.
In Qijia Village, it’s not just old man Qi, probably because of the beautiful mountains and clear waters. There are many older people in Qijia Village, including several in their 70s and 80s. There are also two centenarians who are favored by the whole village.
of worship.
One of the centenarians was sitting there.
Mr. Qi is the Lao Taishan of the Qi clan, and is the grandfather of Mr. Qi. Another centenarian is Mr. Han, who has a foreign surname.
The sixth generation of Mr. Qi's family is now the same family, and the whole family still lives together. However, no matter what happens in the family, everyone is filial to Mr. Qi.
This man is in a good mood, his surroundings are good, and he is the only one in the family to eat, so he naturally looks young.
He was one hundred and two years old, and he looked not much different from his seventy-something-year-old son next to him, and his voice was loud and clear.
Others are hard to talk to, but Mr. Qi, the old Taishan, has nothing to say. He asked Mr. Qi directly:
"Wen Lu, I heard that your house is haunted. Is this true?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to signal Old Man Qi to give him Qi Bao'er.
Old Man Qi didn't dare, so he had to pinch Qi Bao'er's armpit and put Qi Bao'er next to Old Man Qi.
"Old man, please be careful. Bao'er has become heavier again recently. If you can't help but scream."
Mr. Qi's originally smiling face suddenly turned cold when he heard these words, but before he could start complaining, Qi Kaishan beside him had already attacked him.
"You are Bao'er's dear father, and we are all descendants? I don't have me next to my father." Although he only had one hand, he could still support a child.
Mr. Qi gave birth to four sons and three daughters in his life. Qi Kaishan was his youngest son, who was already in his seventies.
Qi Kaishan participated in military service when he was young. He was away for more than ten years and came back without a hand.
Maybe it was because he was too damaged inside when he was young. Now he is in his seventies and sits next to his biological father, who is almost thirty years older than him. From the looks of it, they look like brothers. The younger of the father and son looks older.
Appear young.
Old man Qi almost squirted over a mouthful of salty soda. An old man in his seventies was missing an arm, so what was he supposed to show off?
"We are all the last ones?", but we are not even the last ones.
But this is not easy for old man Qi to say. He has to call him uncle when he calls him Qi Kaishan.
I could only squeeze in and sit on the other side of Mr. Qi with a slight aggrieved look, staring closely at Qi Bao'er while answering Mr. Qi's question just now.
It’s the same thing I said to Daye’s wife just now.
However, Mr. Qi knew that this argument was fine for others, but for the mature Mr. Qi, it contained a lot of troubles.
For example, Bao'er's master has been a disciple for two or three years. Why has the village never heard of him?
The Lord of Heaven and Earth is a teacher, and a teacher is like a father. Becoming a teacher is never a casual matter, it must be very particular.
If you have a family, you must ask the patriarch and elders of the clan to be witnesses. For example, if the Qi clan has an old man named Taishan, Mr. Qi, you must invite the old man to watch the ceremony to be considered formal.
So Mr. Qi added with an expression of embarrassment: "Old man, I originally asked you to be a witness for Bao'er's apprenticeship. It's just that Master Bao'er doesn't like to be busy. So far in the family, Bao'er is the only one who can see him often.
Him, and I am lucky enough to meet him once or twice."
Mr. Qi's face became darker and darker, and the atmosphere around him also darkened. All the old men and ladies on the side stopped looking and only listened with their ears raised. Many people had quite disapproving looks on their faces.
Old Man Qi leaned into Old Man Qi's ear as if he didn't notice, "Old Master, I will keep it a secret from others, but I don't have to tell you. Master Bao'er is from a reclusive family, and he doesn't want to get involved in too many mundane matters.
, this is just secretly accepting Baoer.
Master Bao'er said that he and Bao'er only have a master-disciple relationship for ten years, and he will only teach Bao'er for ten years. After ten years, no matter what Bao'er has learned or how much he has learned, he will never see Bao'er again.
.”
So mysterious?
But the more mysterious it is, the easier it is for people to believe it. Mr. Qi even thought for a moment that Master Baoer might be an immortal?
Mr. Qi has never been angry because of Mr. Qi's lack of attention. One of the reasons why he can live to this age is that he has a broad heart and never cares about things.
What's more, he watched Qi Wenlu grow up, and then watched him grow old. He knew in his heart what kind of character he was. Qi Wenlu was also filial to him. He had a good thing in the family, but he never forgot his place.
.
Just talking about the dinner just now, the second daughter-in-law of Qi Wenlu's family brought a big chicken drumstick over to honor him.
If you don't pay attention to him like this, then how can you pay attention to him?
He was so angry that anyone could recognize Bao'er as his master. He was so sneaky and shameful. What if he was a bad person?
