"Hehe, brother comes to see me every month. I know dad is very busy, so it's okay."
Tang Juan smiled politely at Xiao Yu, then walked to Xiao Shaoqi's side and stopped talking.
"Shaojie, have you been so thin without eating all day long?
Those who don’t know better think that your dad has no future and can’t afford your living expenses.”
A pair of twins, the elder sister's temper became like a vacation after entering junior high school, but the elder brother became like a little girl, completely reversed.
"Dad, I am growing taller now. Grandma said it doesn't matter. You were like this before.
In a few years, I will grow stronger than you."
Xiao Shaojie rolled up his sleeves and raised his arms, exposing his small tendons to show off to Xiao Yu.
However, when Shaojie raised his arm, his clothes were rolled up, and Xiao Yu saw something black on his stomach.
That's a tattoo.
The tattoo is about the length of your thumb. It is a black scorpion with its tail raised high and its two small white eyes.
Xiao Shaoqi and Tang Juan, who were standing behind Xiao Yu, also noticed the scorpion at each other's navel.
But they seemed to have known it for a long time, and they were busy winking at Xiao Shaojie and gesturing for him to put down his arms.
Seeing the reactions of his sister and Tang Juan, Xiao Shaojie's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly put down his arms, and then began to observe Xiao Yu's reaction.
Xiao Yu has also been there and knows that children are curious about everything nowadays, so they will inevitably do things they think are cool.
Although he was a little dissatisfied, he still didn't show it.
He just patted the other person's shoulder and encouraged him.
"It's not bad. If you exercise more, you can plant several acres of farmland at home."
Although Xiao Yu also wanted to criticize a few words, he still couldn't say it after not seeing his children for several years.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, you are finally back.
If you don’t come back, I don’t know how to explain it to you.”
Xiao Yu's parents also walked in at this time, but judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to be very good.
Seeing Xiao Qiang appear, the three children couldn't help but panic, especially Xiao Shaoqi, who hurriedly ran to Xiao Qiang and waved to him.
Judging from Shaoqi's behavior, Xiao Yu knew that these children must be difficult to discipline and disobedient.
"Mom and Dad, what's wrong? Sit down and talk."
Xiao Yu helped Xiao Qiang sit down, and then looked at his mother.
"What's the matter? It's just that last year's apple harvest was not good, and a lot of bugs ate it, which made your dad angry.
Your dad is the same, he’s already very old, why can’t he still think about it, why are you so angry with those few fruits!”
Xiao Yu's mother tugged at Xiao Qiang's clothes and glared at him.
Xiao Qiang originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Xiao Shaoqi and his wife reacting like this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Yes, the fruit was bitten by insects, and I asked you to go and see if there was any evil spirit causing trouble.
Wherever you have been these past few years, you haven’t even called home.
Your mother and I are both old, and you and we can no longer control these children...
I can’t control my child anymore…!”
Xiao Qiang was hesitant to speak, as if he had a lot of bitter things to say, but he seemed a little embarrassed.
"Dad, you don't need to say more. I can figure it out. I know it even if you don't tell me. It's just that we finally got together today and don't talk about other things.
I will naturally deal with those things in the future, so you don’t have to worry and don’t let your anger break your body.”
Eat without talking, sleep without talking.
This is what our ancestors said, telling us that if you don’t talk while eating, firstly, it will affect the meal, and secondly, you will be afraid of saying bad things and making the whole family lose their appetite.
Over time, the family will inevitably decline.
But nowadays, after people are busy outside, the time spent eating is a rare opportunity for communication.
All family members and friends like to gather together and talk about their interesting experiences.
But this also resulted in some bad things that made everyone sad, or quarrels broke out, turning eating into a battlefield.
In the land of China, the Chinese New Year is the most important festival. Many people gather together on the 30th day, which means reunion.
But on the thirtieth day, how many family members gather together happily and with a grateful heart?
Most of them are quarrels, some even fights, couples are at odds, and they often quarrel, causing their children to grow up with low self-esteem, lack of independent thinking, and insecurity.
As the head of Maoshan, Xiao Yu was familiar with the truth, so he suppressed it before his father said it.
Otherwise, today's family gathering will definitely end in a farce.
Outside, he is the Yuhua Zhenjun and the head of Maoshan, but at home, he is a father and a son.
"Okay, I listen to you, let's eat first."
Xiao Qiang patted his son's shoulder, and then Xiao Yu found the waiter and started ordering.
This meal took more than four hours to eat.
Fortunately, none of them said anything bad, let alone got angry.
At night, Xiao Yu's children and parents all went to bed one after another, but Xiao Yu came outside alone, like a lonely ghost walking around outside.
The Chenghuang Temple in the local county town is not very big. Compared with the ones in Xi'an, it can be said that it is much worse.
However, the Chenghuang Hall generally does not have vacant posts, and Xiao Yu came here tonight just to see the college entrance examination transcripts of the Chenghuang Hall.
The entrance to the City God's Hall is guarded by a door god, which is not available at ordinary people's homes.
Therefore, Xiao Yu's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the door god.
"The Gate God of the City God's Hall has met the True Lord."
As soon as Xiao Yu stood at the door of the City God's Hall, two white lights flew down from the entrance door.
They were two ghost soldiers who looked fierce, holding axes in their hands. Their cultivation was at the peak of ghost generals, which was pretty good for a small place like this.
"I'd like to inform you that Xiao Yu wants to meet the City God."
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to support the two door gods, and he helped them up as soon as they went to pay homage.
"Yes, Zhenjun, please come in."
The wooden door of the City God's Hall opened with a creak, and then candles were lit one after another in the dark City God's Hall.
There were civil and military officials around, and a middle-aged man wearing an official hat had already appeared at the door.
"Shiyuan County City God, I have seen the Emerald True Monarch."
Ever since Xiao Yu was canonized as the true king, the Yin Division has received the news, so it notified the major city god halls and some minor gods canonized in the underworld.
As for those mountain god lands, these were consecrated by Xiao Yu himself, so they didn't need to go to inform them, the other party would naturally sense Xiao Yu's arrival.
"The city god refuses to pay homage and is causing too much trouble."
Xiao Yu clasped his fists at Cheng Huang and then looked at him.
This city god is a middle-aged man, wearing an official hat and gorgeous robes. He has a dark face and is beardless. He looks like an honest man.
There are bull heads and horse faces all around, and there are also a few runaway imps lying on the ground next to them.
"When was the City God canonized?"
Xiao Yu asked casually while walking inside.
"To my true lord, I was canonized by the imperial court as the local city god six hundred years ago, and I have been in charge of the official seal without interruption."
