"You mean, Jia Zhang has been released!"
"Well, Qin Huairu brought her back in early June. Hey, brother, that Jia Zhang has changed a lot. You have to see her outside. Maybe I can’t even recognize her.”
Jia Zhang entered the family in 1961 and has really stayed for three years. Time flies so fast. Seeing the excitement on her face, Zhu Xuefeng was happy to praise her. Tsukuru asked curiously.
"What can she become? And make me unrecognizable? Impossible, her body shape is too special, and she is unique in the whole street. I can only look at her back from several miles away I know it's her."
The younger sister was even more happy, "Brother, you are really wrong. Go to the Central Court now and have a look. I guarantee you will be surprised."
"Forget it, little one. Sister, just tell the elder brother that I have no intention of visiting her.”
“Hey, you don’t know, the Jia Zhang family with the same door panel is gone. I was scared when I saw it the first day. With one jump, he fell down several times and became tanned, even darker than his second uncle and the others."
Zhu Xuefeng knew that this was the result of forced labor. It seems that his body and bones should have improved. It is no longer the bloated appearance it used to be.
“I hope the transformation has been completed, and I won’t be a monster when I come back now.”
“A monster?” Zhou Du went to the subdistrict office once to report for half a day of voluntary labor, but now he curses every time he comes back. How dare he act like a monster? He had quarreled with Qin Huairu twice, but he didn't seem to get any advantage. "
Zhu Xuefeng was not interested in Jia Zhang. He had a lot of things to worry about now, so he couldn't care about her. He looked around.
"Where's Xiao Hei? Why isn't he here?"
The younger sister was a little frustrated, "Brother, Xiao Hei seems to have really run away. After you left, he rarely came back, especially this time. He hasn’t been back for almost a month. He must have run away.”
Zhu Xuefeng was a little surprised. There was no such possibility. There was something wrong. He quickly contacted Xiao Hei, but he heard a strong expression of grievance and frustration. Excited to be summoned by his master, Zhu Xuefeng was stunned. Good guy, this unfortunate little Hei was caught and locked in a small iron cage, lying helpless.
Xiao Hei was still caught, which surprised Zhu Xuefeng. After feeling the position, Zhu Xuefeng had an idea. It seemed that Xiao Hei still missed and was caught by the female crown. No matter how clever Xiao Hei was, , and won’t be able to fight with people’s brains, so they have to find a chance to get Xiao Hei back. Although he doesn’t want to deal with the mysterious female crown, Xiao Hei can’t ignore it.
"Don't worry, little sister. In a few days, I will go look for it in the places where it often goes. I will definitely be able to find it for you. I will criticize it and stop running around in the future. How about it."
The little girl suddenly jumped up with joy, "Brother, I really found it. If it comes back, I will never bully it again, hehe."
Zhu Xuefeng smiled and rewarded the little girl with a chestnut. , "You bullied it a lot, no wonder it ran away."
Xiao Hei's position is to the west and south. Combining the distance, Zhu Xuefeng has already estimated the location, which should be the Baiyun Temple in the West City. The straight-line distance should be only about seven or eight kilometers. It seems that the female crowned last time should be a Quanzhen disciple.
This is one of the holy places of Taoism and one of the three ancestral temples of Quanzhen Taoism. The predecessor of Baiyun Temple was Tianchang Temple in the Tang Dynasty and was named Baiyun Temple in the early Ming Dynasty.
It’s a bit interesting, Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile. Later generations have been to Baiyun Temple many times. There is a blessing project that is popular among ordinary people, which is “touching monkeys”. Countless old Beijingers will come to the temple to “touch monkeys” during the Spring Festival temple fair.
After entering the temple, there are three relatively easy-to-find stone monkey reliefs at the main gate, the mountain gate and the east courtyard gate. They are black and shiny when touched. They are considered to have been covered by the people of the capital. They usually think that they can be brought with them. It brings good luck and health, so there are always long queues here during the Spring Festival temple fair every year.
Actually, Baiyun Temple is a large-scale building, and there are many stone monkey reliefs in the temple, but the old Beijing people have identified these three.
Decades later, the temple is still very popular. There is not only a white marble statue of Laozi sitting here, which is a relic of the Tang Dynasty and is regarded as a treasure of the temple.
In the last hall, there are statues of the "Seven Sons of Quanzhen" enshrined. In addition, there are also a large collection of Taoist classics and magical instruments.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place has been the Taoist Association, Taoist College and Taoist Culture Research Institute. Now and in the past few decades, there have been Taoists in the temple. Unexpectedly, this female crown came from here, which is a bit interesting. .
"By the way, brother, when will you pick up the fourth child? I will go with you then."
"In a few days, I have to go to the factory to ask "If I can do it, I will pick him up." The fourth child graduated from junior high school last year and should have just finished his first year of high school. Last time, he wrote a letter to his second uncle's house. The second uncle was a little undecided, but the second aunt firmly supported his son's move to the city. The fourth child was also willing to work as a worker, so the matter was settled. Zhu Xuefeng thought about asking Factory Director Yang. If there was no problem, he would take it over and live at home.
But if the younger sister wants to follow, she has to take a long-distance bus. The small pedal cannot carry three people, and the fourth child should have a lot of luggage.
“It’s settled, brother, you should have time to stay in the mountains for a few days this time.”
Looking at the hopeful eyes of his little sister, Zhu Xuefeng couldn't bear it. Forget it, just stay for a few days. It takes more than a year to accompany him for these few days. He comes from a girl's family, and it's weird to be alone in the capital now. .
"No problem, we will see when the fourth child reports and we will come back. This time we can stay for as many days as we can."
The little girl was excited again and hugged her The neck of the eldest brother, happily lying on the back of the eldest brother.
"I knew the eldest brother was the best, hee hee."
"How are your two sisters now?"
"My sisters are very good, every night They all came to accompany me, Sister Xia is doing internship, Sister Na is at work, and by the way, Sister Yuyu is also at work.”
“Textile factory?”
“Well, Sister Yuyu is at work. As a technician, she was assigned a bed in the factory, but she came back every week."
Unexpectedly, He Yuyu returned to the original track. The inertia was so great.
“By the way, Zhongyuan, aren’t there two children from the first master’s house? Are you familiar with them now?”
The little girl shook her head, "They both don't come out to play. That Cherry doesn't come home after school, and that little kid doesn't come out either. He just stays with Big Mom and doesn't go anywhere. I heard that Bangge always bullies him. Don’t go out if you have nothing to do.”
Zhu Xuefeng took out four pieces of candy again and said, “Go and deliver them to these two siblings.”
These two children are still Zhu Xuefeng. They were the ones who helped move them to the highlands, and they felt an indescribable pity for them. They lost their parents at such a young age, and finally found a home to take them in, but they were bullied by Bangge. I met two children.
The younger sister smiled and put her hands behind her back, escaping from her elder brother's task. "Brother, you can go alone. I'm not familiar with either of them and haven't said a word to you." "You, you, you." , I can’t take it out like this. Come on, brother, go to the cellar and see what’s available. I’ll make dinner for you later.”
Zhu Xuefeng touched it. He took off the girl's head, found a piece of straw paper and wrapped the candy, then walked out the door and went straight to the middle courtyard.
As soon as I went out, I saw the third aunt coming out of the door. She thanked her from all the way.
"Xiao Feng, you just came back. You came all the way, and you asked me to bring you sweets. Thank you."
"Third aunt, you are so polite. You are busy first. . ”
The middle courtyard is also very quiet. Under the scorching sun, there is no one in the courtyard. No one is there except Shazhu’s family. Every household has their doors open to breathe. They walk along the corridor to the door of the first uncle. , the aunt was sitting on the small bench with the little boy washing something, and the little girl was biting the end of her pen and looking at the homework on the table in a daze.
Seeing Zhu Xuefeng coming, the eldest mother was stunned, stood up quickly, and said with a smile, "I heard your third aunt just now. I didn't expect you to come over. What's the matter?"
In the eldest mother's heart, Zhu Xuefeng It seemed like this was his first visit in the past few years, and I couldn't figure out why.
"Big size, it's okay. Why don't you bring some candy back? You also have two children at home. Let them try a few pieces of candy." After saying this, he handed over the small straw paper bag. It's very inconspicuous.
The aunt wiped her hands on the apron and took it with a smile. "Xiao Feng, you are really thoughtful. I'm sorry, thank you."
Zhu Xuefeng looked at the two children. The little boy's eyes were a little timid, and the little girl seemed a little confused.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? It's not a rare thing, just a few pieces of candy. You should be busy first. I'm going back."
Auntie didn't know what to say for a moment. , this time I came to my door, handed over a few pieces of candy, and turned around to leave. I didn’t know what to say to persuade her to stay, so I had to remind the two children.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng, how long can you stay this time? Come and sit down more often when you have time. Your uncle is always talking about you. The whole courtyard is your future. It has only been a few years. They are all going abroad to be foreign students, Cherry, please teach me Brother Xiaofeng.”
“Thank you, Brother Xiaofeng.” The two children were obedient and stood up to express their thanks. Zhu Xuefeng said goodbye with a smile. The complexion is obviously much better than last year. It seems that the father and his wife have put in a lot of effort, which is good. The two children can be relied on.
In less than a year, the skin of the two children has become much fairer, and their faces have become visibly rounder. Except for their timid eyes, their clothes and looks are like those of city kids. Maybe it’s because my uncle’s family is in good condition.
As he strolled along the corridor, he didn't notice that the Jia family on the opposite side poked his head out and watched Zhu Xuefeng disappear at the entrance of the central courtyard, and then sneaked out.
"Mom, I think brother Xiaofeng looks a bit like the brother who rescued us last year."
Little Cherry said hesitantly. Auntie was about to continue cleaning, but she was startled after hearing this. , "It's really possible. I heard from your father that last year Xiaofeng went to your place to provide disaster relief. Why didn't this kid say anything? The same happened to Haitang. Why didn't she say a word about such a big thing?"
After hearing this, the eldest mother thought about it for a while, feeling secretly happy in her heart. If these two children have such a relationship with Xiaofeng in the front yard, maybe he can help these two children in the future. This is also Fate, everyone in the compound now knows that Xiao Zhu's family is very good. He was sent abroad by the country to be trained at a young age. He is definitely going to be successful.
I don’t see two beautiful girls coming to his house every day to coax his sister. They have the idea to climb high, and several families are jealous. They wish their daughter would grow up to be a teenager quickly, and try it too, just in case. Now, there are two college students in this family. This is going to be a big change.
"Cherry, you two should eat the candy. I didn't hear your brother Xiaofeng say that the weather is too hot and I can't keep it. It's a pity to waste it."
The aunt saw the candy wrapped in it. The paper was still on the table, and I reminded him, "Guodong, go wash your hands and eat with your sister."
Little Guodong happily ran away to wash his hands. He was greedy for a long time, but his sister kept using His eyes stopped him, and now that my mother was speaking, she naturally had no scruples. She could finally eat, and her little mouth couldn't help but move a few times.
"Mom, there are four pieces here, they are not small. It just so happens that you and dad also have one piece each." Yingying opened the paper package and saw four pieces wrapped inside, so she took two pieces, got up and delivered them to a Auntie's mouth.
“This piece is for you, and this piece is for my brother.”
Seeing that her daughter was so sensible, the eldest mother was very happy. She was willing to eat it. She smelled the fragrance and said with a smile, "Mom can't eat the bones in her body. You two can eat it first. There is no need to leave it for your father. He is an adult and does not eat sweets."
While he was talking, he saw a figure sneaking in, picked up the paper bag, turned around and ran away. The aunt who was turning around to tell Cherry looked at her and she suddenly became angry.
"Banggan, stop." The eldest mother stood up suddenly, but felt dizzy, and sat down all of a sudden. Little Cherry, who was confused by a series of changes, was frightened, and her father told her again and again. , Don't let mother be anxious, she couldn't bear it, she was so frightened that she quickly supported her eldest mother, crying and yelling.
"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?"
After a while, the aunt opened her eyes and said weakly.
"Mom is fine, the old habit has come back. Let mom take it easy and she will be fine in a while."
Tao Qingying thought of Brother Xiaofeng who had just given the candy, and suddenly she felt so happy that she hurriedly called .
"Little brother, little brother, hurry up to Zhu's house in the front yard and ask Brother Xiaofeng to come and help."
Little brother was washing his hands happily just now, but he didn't expect that his mother would collapse in the blink of an eye. , but after hearing what my sister said, I still hesitated.
"Sister, I haven't spoken to him..."
"Brother, it was Brother Xiaofeng who saved us last year. He is a good man and will definitely come to help. Go quickly!"
Seeing his mother's face turning black, Xiao Guodong was frightened and hurriedly took small steps. Bianpidian went to the front yard. Not far away, Banggan, who was hiding behind the locust tree, didn't see his aunt chasing him out. Instead, he saw the little one running away. He immediately felt relieved and stopped in front of Xiao Guodong in a few steps. A vicious scare.
"You wild child in the mountains, go back quickly. I tell you the truth, I have already eaten the sugar. There is no chance for you to ask for help from anyone. Go away now."
Xiao Guodong was hit by a stick that unexpectedly appeared. Geng was startled and took two steps back unconsciously, "My mother is sick, my mother is sick...".
When Banggeng heard that his aunt was sick and was not causing trouble for him, he happily stepped away and watched Xiao Guodong stumble across the threshold of the middle courtyard. After thinking about it, he still seemed a little uncomfortable. OK, I chased after two steps, but when I saw the little guy running towards the Zhu family, I stopped in fear. He was no longer young. From the teachings of Qin Huairu and the deeds of the grandma who had just returned, I knew that this family had caused trouble for themselves. Sorry, this family is not the two cherry siblings, so you can mess around with him.
