Dai Er retorted: "You damn old woman, Wang Po here is selling melons and boasting about herself. Who doesn't know that you are doing some bad things? In the middle of the night, you are practicing feudal superstition and burning flower pots at the intersection outside. Don't think that I don't
I know. Be careful if I report you."
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she had a heart attack.
Damn it, she went to burn the "flower pot" in the middle of the night, and someone actually saw her.
"Mrs. Xu, are you really engaging in feudal superstition? This is not acceptable." A young man immediately stood up to criticize her.
Old Mrs. Xu was furious and shouted: "You are all just pink-eyed. You are jealous of the promising people in my family and want to punish me. I will tell you later."
She scolded and walked away with a grin.
Everyone was laughing and joking.
But they all speculated: "Then Mrs. Xu, why do you engage in feudal superstition and burn flower pots?"
"Who knows? I haven't seen anyone do this for many years, and then she does it again."
"I heard that she went to see Guanhua Po in the next village."
"What else does she want? The eldest grandson has been admitted to college and has become a college student. The second grandson has also become a householder worth ten thousand yuan. He should be contented."
"It sounds like a good time, but who doesn't know that the Xu family is trying to save their reputation outside, and there is no rice left to cook rice at home."
"So miserable?"
"Absolutely. The Xu family used to be a lively and bustling family, but now, only Mrs. Xu and Xu Dongsheng are left. If they lose, they lose."
"In my opinion, Mrs. Xu is still to blame for being stupid and being too partial. She has no shame to go to Xu Erlong."
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
Not long after, Xu Erlong rode his bicycle around the field ridge.
"Hey, Xu Erlong is back?"
"He is really a rare visitor. After moving out, he rarely comes back."
"There must be something good for us, right? Thinking about how we all made some money by collecting eels, now my hands are itchy and I want to catch eels again."
"If you can catch eels in this winter, you are considered capable."
Under everyone's attention, Xu Erlong walked over.
He politely spread a circle of cigarettes for everyone, and the group of young and old men were all happy.
Those aunties were not happy and teased Xu Erlong with a smile: "Xu Erlong, you are so uninteresting. You only give them cigarettes to these men, but don't you know how to give us some candies?"
"Come here, I'll make some smoke for you." Dai Erpi smiled and blew smoke rings at one of the women.
"Dai Er, you are looking for death." The woman laughed and cursed, took off her cloth shoes, and beat Dai Er.
Xu Erlong just watched this group of people laughing and joking.
The village is such a happy place.
"Okay, I'll bring some sweets to the aunts next time." Xu Erlong responded with a smile.
"Candy alone isn't enough, it has to be wedding candy. I heard Miss Tooth come back and say that you already have a partner. Let's take a look when you bring him back." A shrewd aunt yelled.
"I'll bring it to you when I get the chance." Xu Erlong replied in a good-natured way.
After chatting for a while, he went to Huang Zhengnong's house and asked Huang Zhengnong to help him produce supporting documents.
We don't have ID cards yet, so if we want to produce any supporting documents, we have to find these cadres in the village.
Therefore, everyone will not offend these cadres easily.
Huang Zhengnong issued him a certificate, stamped his official seal, and said with a smile: "What are you planning to do again? If you have a good thing, you'd better take us with you."
Although it was half-joking, Xu Erlong couldn't just follow it casually.
In the days before he had an ID card, he had to build a good relationship with people like Huang Zhengnong.
"For a while, I haven't actually decided what to do yet. These supporting documents are for getting a bank loan." Xu Erlong told the truth.
"You kid, you already have a household worth 10,000 yuan, and you still need a loan?" Huang Zhengnong scolded.
"The money is all pledged on the leather shoes." Xu Erlong said half-truthfully: "I thought about it, and there is this policy. Anyway, there is no interest. If you can get a loan, just take it first, in case you need the money one day.
Will it come in handy when the time comes? If my uncle is interested, he can also take out a loan first. A while ago, didn’t you say that getting rich first will lead to getting rich later? If you want to do other things, you will always need money.”
He can't really be vague either.
After all, if he asked Qian Ya and Yu Ping to come back to handle the loan, he would definitely let Huang Zhengnong handle it. Instead of hiding it from him, it would be better to just call him.
Huang Zhengnong touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Okay, I will listen to you and apply for a loan."
"Uncle is a sensible person." Xu Erlong flattered him.
"What a sensible person, I just saw that you have been operating smoothly during this period, and I wanted to follow you to see if you can have some soup." Huang Zhengnong said.
"Let's go, when you come back today, I will take you to see the place where you want to build a house." Huang Zhengnong stood up and put on a cotton coat.
He took Xu Erlong and headed towards the location near the Lion Rock.
"These lands are a little off, but in order to help you coordinate, I took the boss's advice." Huang Zhengnong led the way, implying that he had made great efforts.
"So, there is nothing in this village that you can't do," Xu Erlong said.
The two of them walked one behind the other to the foot of Lion Rock.
"Look, this piece of land is your homestead." Huang Zhengnong pointed to the piece of land in front of him and showed it to Xu Erlong.
Xu Erlong took a look and found that the position was almost the same as expected.
As long as it is leveled out, people can start digging the foundation to build a house at any time.
"What is that?" Xu Erlong saw a section of colorful flowers exposed in the ditch.
Out of curiosity, he stepped forward to take a closer look.
At this point, he finally understood.
This is something made of colored crepe paper wrapped with strips. Among the people, it is commonly known as a flower pot and is used for feudal superstition.
Now it is burned here, with a large piece of ashes below, and only the upper part left unburned and remains here.
"Oh, you are actually interested in doing this these days?" Xu Erlong stepped forward and kicked the thing.
With this kick, the thing rolled a few times and rolled away.
Among the remaining ashes, a puppet figure was exposed, most of it burnt.
But you can still see that there is a faint word "erlong" on this half of the puppet.
Xu Erlong's face turned ugly.
He picked up the half-burned puppet and asked Huang Zhengnong: "Captain Huang, how many people named Erlong are there in this hundred-mile radius?"
Huang Zhengnong looked troubled.
There are not many people called Erlong in this area of a hundred miles.
Dai Er appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile: "It seems that your grandma hates you very much. She made this thing. I saw her burning it here in the middle of the night."
Xu Erlong's face turned pale.
Unexpectedly, this thing was actually made by Mrs. Xu.
I thought it would be fine if we separated our families and each lived their own lives, and the water in the well did not interfere with the water in the river.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu would engage in such feudal superstition.
Is this a curse on him, to make him suffer from bad luck and constant disaster?
