But Lu Qi is obviously very young. He looks younger than the second brother of the Zhou family, only about seventeen or eighteen years old.
How can I call him grandpa?
My mother also gave me a pestle.
I looked up at my mother aggrievedly.
But when my mother glared at me, I immediately gave in and lowered my head.
Just when he was about to call me grandpa, Lu Qi stopped with a smile: "It doesn't matter, just call me brother."
He leaned forward, and the collarbone in front of my eyes seemed to turn into a butterfly and fly away.
He put his left hand on the top of my head and rubbed it. His face came closer to mine and said, "Children, please call me brother. Call me younger. Brother will like it."
I opened my eyes wide. Lu Qizhen is really good-looking. I have never seen such a good-looking person.
It looks better than the stars printed on the notebooks sold by Aunt Lu.
He was so close to me, I was dumbfounded.
I wanted to see more, so Lu Qi took off his hand on my head. He stood up and said to my mother: "Zhao Chunlan, this is not an easy matter, but you don't have to worry. The ghosts that have disappeared so far are all gone."
There is no harm done to anyone, just put this matter aside."
"Okay, I get it."
Then Lu Qi disappeared, walking smoothly without leaving even a shadow.
Why.
Is he a fairy?
Should I call him Fairy Brother from now on?
But I don't know if I can see him again in the future.
Later, during the meal, the second uncle sipped a small glass of wine, his face glowing with joy after drinking: "Then the matter of Sister-in-law Li is over?"
"It's done." My mother rolled green onion leaves in dried bean skins and chewed them until they were delicious. "I'll go to Beicun tomorrow. I hope there won't be any more problems after the matter in Beicun is settled."
My dad nodded while eating: "July is coming soon. If you need to go, go and if you need to go back, you can have a rest."
"By the way, brother, Sister-in-law Zhang is back home now?"
"No, when I came back, the village chief's wife was afraid that she would be beaten when she returned, so she let her stay at the village chief's house."
"That's okay, hey."
The second uncle drank too much and wanted to smooth his hair back, but after finishing it, his scalp was probably blown by the wind, so he immediately smoothed his hair back.
Looks silly.
Lulu and I covered our mouths and laughed.
My father knocked our bowls with chopsticks and scolded us with a fierce face: "We are eating, don't laugh, don't suck it into the trachea."
"oh."
But I couldn't help it.
He stopped eating and ran out chasing and laughing.
I ran to the door and played with the mud.
"Nuan Ting, look at the little house I built, how amazing it is!" Lulu said to me, pointing to the soft lump of stuff she had just kneaded.
I was not convinced: "What's a small house? Let me build you a big house!"
"I'll help you!"
"Hey! Nuanting, Lulu, what are you two playing at?" The voice behind him knew who it was without even looking.
He is a heartless fat boy!
Lulu and I both pouted, immediately put down the mud in our hands, and walked into the courtyard without even looking at Fatty.
"Hey! Where are you going!" Xiaopang jumped anxiously behind us, ran to catch up and grabbed us, "Don't go."
I turned around and saw a fat little guy with a white and round head. There was sweat on his forehead, and he looked at me and Lulu anxiously.
"Nuan Ting, don't be angry. I know something happened to you before, but my father didn't let me out. I wanted to sneak out and asked my father to lock me in the house. As soon as he let me out, I kept running.
It’s coming.”
The little fat man clasped his hands together, his face wrinkled into a fat flower roll.
I was stunned and immediately forgot that I was still angry with Xiaopang: "Why did your father lock you up?"
"My father said that evil spirits were being committed in our village. He was afraid that I would be captured by the old goblin, so he locked me up."
Xiaopang took out a small square plastic bag from his pocket, and it turned out to be toilet paper.
Seeing me staring straight at him, Xiaopang twisted his nose and explained to us: "These are facial tissues, only found in big cities."
Xiaopang is really good, he is different from me and Lulu now.
We used to wipe our big noses with our sleeves, but now he actually started using toilet paper behind our backs!
I'm even more angry!
I crossed my arms and hummed, but ignored him.
After hearing Xiaopang's explanation, Lulu lost half of her anger and pulled my sleeve: "Nuan Ting, why don't we both stop being angry? Xiaopang didn't mean it."
I pretended to open my eyelids and saw Xiaopang looking at me nervously. It seemed that I was quite important in his heart!
I stopped being angry right away.
"Well, I won't blame you this time. Who asked you to give me a necklace?"
"Great! Then we can go to school together again!" Xiaopang danced happily, and the three of us held hands and played next to the small tree until the evening.
Later, Little Fatty's grandfather came over. He held Little Fatty's ears and walked back, telling him to go home early. He said that Little Fatty was the only one in their family and they should not run around during times of tension in the village.
No matter how far away I am, I can't hear clearly.
Lulu and I went into the house to wash our hands. My father and the others were sitting on the kang discussing about going to Beicun tomorrow.
"Brother, we are all going to Beicun tomorrow. What will happen to the children?" The second uncle sat by the kang, purred and took a sip of tea, and spit out a piece of tea leaf on the ground.
Lulu and I laughed and washed our hands together. Our four little dirty hands grabbed each other in the basin, and water splashed everywhere.
My dad was half lying on the bed. He seemed to be drunk. His eyes and surroundings were very red, and his eyes were still staring: "It's okay. I just told Sister-in-law Lu and asked her to help take care of the child for two days."
"That's okay, Sister-in-law Lu is a good person. Although she is easy to talk, she is also warm-hearted."
My mother raised her head while holding Nier and said, "Nuan Ting has to go with us."
I was instantly petrified.
There is a feeling of being unable to fly without wings.
I used to like this kind of thing, my mother would drive me like an animal, but now I don’t want to have any contact with it, my mother still takes me with her wherever she goes.
Is this what the Chinese teacher said, and it backfires?
…
Early the next morning, Lulu and I stood at the door and said goodbye to each other.
"Nuan Ting, you forgot to take your Yingluo." Lulu tied my Yingluo on my wrist, "You also have one, and I also have one. When you see Yingluo, you will think of me and Xiaopang."
I nodded heavily: "Then I won't be alone in Beicun!"
"Um!"
Aunt Lu couldn't help but laugh at the way I said goodbye: "Hurry up and get in the car, Girl Yun."
"Goodbye Aunt Lu!"
"Hey, goodbye."
My father drove the cart, and my second uncle and my mother were already seated. I got on the cart, and they helped me sit down.
As soon as I sat down, I saw a small whirlwind blowing in the direction of Uncle Li's house.
Then the black and white impermanence leisurely locked out two figures struggling and cursing, it was Grandma Li and Uncle Li.
