The life wisdom of the elderly cannot be underestimated. Reading and learning knowledge is to have a good future. This is a means of making a living, but looking back, isn't learning knowledge just for use in life?
Although many villagers have never read a book, their understanding of life is no less than that of intellectuals, and may even exceed it.
Zhang Heng thought for a while and responded: "These are two different things. I will explain it later. It's not a bad thing!"
"That's good, grandpa doesn't want to control you." Grandpa Zhang's voice has always been soft. He can beat his son in public, but he can't scold his grandson. To put it bluntly, Zhang Heng has lost a lot, but he has also gained in disguise.
A lot has been gained, even if these gains cannot be measured by values.
When the bustle finally came to an end, it was almost time for dinner, and each family dispersed, but this was only temporary. After lunch, they would definitely get together again. Enthusiasm is a national condition, and it is even more so in the village.
There were not many people left, but there were several tables. The large open-air stove outside had not been set up yet, so we had to use the kitchen inside. There were only two pots in total, one for firewood and one for coal. It was difficult to get up quickly.
Taking advantage of this free time, Zhang Heng went for a walk with his grandma. Actually, he wanted to ask some questions alone. Seeing that no one else was around, he said: "Zu Zu, how did you get this ring you gave me?
ah?"
"Didn't I tell you before? Your grandfather gave it to me. It's copper and it's worthless. It's just that after wearing it for so many years, it looks shiny. If it were gold, I would have sold it to your dad to pay off the debt a few years ago!
"Zuzu said cheerfully. The old man has always been optimistic, and now he has a family full of children and grandchildren. His grandson, who ran away for ten years, has also come back and made a fortune. So there is nothing more to ask for.
"Did grandfather say anything? About this ring?" Zhang Heng asked unwillingly. In his heart, he hoped to find some clues. But he didn't want to find out. It would be nice if everything was a mystery, because space is an incredible thing.
, why bother looking for an explanation and causing trouble?
This time Zuzu did not reply immediately, but thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "It's been decades, I can't remember. It seems that I said it. But it seems that I didn't say it, Jiu'er, why did you ask about the ring?"
?”
Zhang Heng was disappointed but also a little happy. Maybe this was the best answer, "No, it's nothing. I just asked casually."
As he said this, he stroked the ring in his hand. My grandfather had already divided the property before his death. Although it was not much, he distributed all the valuable things in the family to his sons. It was a pity that the ring was not made of gold.
, otherwise it will definitely be missed by some grandma. In the end, most of it will be lost in his hands.
"Jiu'er, my ancestor is old and has enjoyed the blessings he deserves. He also has great grandchildren. Who knows when he will go down to find your grandfather..."
Zhang Heng interrupted Zuzu. He probably guessed what Zuzu wanted to say. He probably didn't want to go to the city. He could be in the village when he wanted to leave, but how could he agree? The reason for coming back this time was to pick up Zuzu.
Go out and use the magical power of space to make Zuzu live longer.
Then he interrupted and said: "Zu Zu, don't think too much, how about letting Jiu'er help you make arrangements? Just go to the city with Jiu'er, Jiu'er won't be able to sleep well without you!"
Out.
"Haha, you are still as good as eight years old, just barely crying. Okay, Zuzu listens to you, but you have to promise Zuzu that you will not be cremated after a hundred years, but will be buried!" Zuzu instructed!
road.
Zhang Heng nodded solemnly, not to mention cremation, even if it was a burial, he would build a huge imperial mausoleum and treat it like a queen mother.
It’s not that he is so indifferent that he casually talks about his grandma’s funeral. It’s just that grandma should prepare certain preparations when she reaches this age. The average villager will start preparing coffins, shrouds, etc. when they reach the age of sixty, and arrange their funeral arrangements in advance.
Regarding life span, although Zhang Heng has space to slow down, he is very open-minded to himself. Human birth, aging, illness and death are natural laws. As for immortality? That is too far away!
After the two grandsons and grandsons chatted quietly for a while, the mother came to call for dinner, and then returned to the uncle's house.
A total of five rooms have been opened, and two tables are placed in the main room. This is where the elders sit, and they are all men. For example, although grandma is senior enough, she usually cannot be seated. Men of the same generation have to give priority to the main room for dinner.
As for the ancestors, of course they are not included in the list. Five generations of the Zhang family live together, and Zhang Heng is already a nephew and niece. The ancestors can already be called ancestors!
Zhang Heng, his sister, mother, Dazhu, aunt and others gathered at a table, and his father was called to the lower seat in the main room to eat.
"Brother, I just spent more than fifty yuan on snacks!" During the meal, my sister suddenly whispered.
Zhang Heng was happy and said with a smile: "Didn't I give you five hundred? If it's not enough, I'll ask my brother for it. From now on, your daily pocket money should be set at one hundred. You only spent fifty today, and you will spend the rest in the afternoon."
go out."
"One hundred a day, brother, that's too much." Xiaoyi stuck out her tongue. She had just endured the pain and spent more than fifty on snacks just to save her face. She didn't have the temperament to spend money randomly.
Zhang Heng answered: "From now on, I will be the one to make the decision in the family. Mom, you say so!"
Although Zhang's mother also felt that the pocket money was too much, since she had already told her son to take care of the money, she had no choice but to say: "Yes, your brother has the final say."
"Oh yeah!" my sister shouted, very excited.
Zhang Heng is dangerous, which is in line with the character of his sister at her age. Although she was well-behaved and sensible before, she seemed too old. This is not good, because when you grow up, you will find that the missing childhood can no longer be found.
"Wang, oh, Jiu'er, I told my mother about Su Hong!" Dazhu suddenly put down his chopsticks and said with some embarrassment. As for Dazhu's mother, Zhang Heng called his aunt and was sitting next to Dazhu.
"Jiu'er, what Dazhu said is true. He has only been out for a long time. He can find a wife in less than two months." The aunt asked with some doubts. She was worried about her son's marriage. Now,
This good news suddenly came out, but I couldn't believe it.
Zhang Heng was quite speechless. He had reminded Dazhu not to explain before he came back, but now that he said it, it was a good thing. However, he didn't know what Dazhu said about Su Hong, so he could only reply vaguely: "Probably not.
No, I met him once before when I went to see Brother Dazhu, and he seemed quite close to him."
"That's right. Well, our Zhang family has encountered a happy event recently. My uncle has come back and made a lot of money. Now Dazhu has finally made friends, and his work has been implemented. From now on,
Eat the food in the city!" the aunt said quickly. She has a dark appearance and is an expert at work.
"Well, everyone eats the food in the city!" Zhang Heng responded. Although the words were vulgar, he could certainly understand the meaning.
This lunch is just an appetizer, a home-cooked meal, not a meal. You start eating rice right after it is served. No one is drinking at this table, so it ends early. After the meal, the woman has to be busy cleaning up, as Zhang Heng did.
The young man was so relieved that he could just put down the bowls and chopsticks and go out to play happily.
That's exactly what he did, but he had to do something first. Without discussing it with his mother, he took his sister and ran to find the Feng Shui master at the end of the village and told him about the foundation. This was not a quickie.
, it won’t be taken down for a few days, and finally the Feng Shui master will accompany the construction team to determine the foundation, that is, use a stone to lay the route for laying bricks.
It involves a lot of doorways, such as orientation, how the door should be opened, in what direction it should be opened, whether the trees on the opposite mountain are correct, and what kind of ant nests are there. It’s a mess. The villagers are not completely obsessed with superstition, they just report.
I would rather believe it, lest something really goes wrong and it would be a tragedy.
The biggest fear when repairing a building is that it will cause an accident, the quality of the house will be defective after repair, and the new house will get sick after moving in, etc. However, no matter how troublesome it is, it is far easier than buying a house outside the city because the price difference is so big.
A few hundred thousand is enough to build a decent building in the village, with more than ten rooms and complete supporting facilities, but it is also calculated based on local prices.
"Brother, before we set off this morning, dad secretly came over and knelt down to apologize to me!" my sister suddenly said.
Zhang Heng was suddenly startled. He didn't expect that he actually knelt down. He sighed in his heart. If he really wanted to argue, his father just knelt down for him in disguise. He had already knelt down for his grandma. Now the only thing missing is his mother. Maybe he
We should also let go of our grievances. My grandma is getting old, my grandpa is getting old, and my father is actually getting older too.
Obsession, obsession, if you can let it go in one breath, it won’t be called obsession. I hope time can kill everything!
