Chapter 628 The Unjust Rooster
This year’s grain drying field, the village held another show.
What is different from previous years is that the big green dragon was taken out and walked around for a while before being put back.
But we changed the pattern again, with folk songs during the day and lanterns at night.
As a result, after two days, the number of people attracted was no less than last year, but most of them were villagers from nearby village chiefs.
In the past, when Chang Qing held annual gatherings, only young people or old people came to the nearby villages.
And this year, regardless of whether men, women, old or young are here.
Because most people in the mountains like to sing folk songs, and they can't stop singing once.
Zhang An carried his son out to Shai Guchang and found that the senior group, who had profound skills and was the most addicted to singing, had just finished singing and were taking a break at halftime.
The people who took over the scene were a group of young men and women in their twenties.
They all come from various nearby villages, but when it comes to singing, there is no distinction between villages, only men and women.
Compared to the elderly group, the young group saw more people when singing duets.
Because it is the Chinese New Year, everyone has tidied themselves up from head to toe, completely different from when they usually work.
Especially many young women, who are so beautifully dressed.
When both parties sing together, they sometimes blush and feel shy because of the meaning of the lyrics, which is something you don’t see in the senior group.
Zhang Anwei watched for a long time, and he really enjoyed it.
In fact, this kind of singing party was held every year in Hongyan Town when Zhang An was still young.
Zhang An still remembers that the New Year singing party at that time was regarded as the blind date meeting of the entire Hongyan Town.
Many single men and women of the right age fall in love with each other while singing, and their families rarely object.
But later on, I don’t know why, but suddenly there was no organization in the town.
Well, for example now, Zhang An looked at the pair of young men who spoke in the field. Their eyes were going back and forth, and the lyrics were not subtle at all. They definitely liked each other.
Many people around were just watching the excitement at first, but as they watched, they started to boo.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, loud singing can be heard from far away at home.
"This group of people are really addicted to music. It's only what time and they have already started."
Zhang An, who had just gotten up, said while washing up and shaking his head.
“This has been settled. I remember that during the busy farming days, those people who liked to sing folk songs would not do any work in the fields, so they just sang folk songs. As a result, they sang folk songs for a whole day. I feel hungry before I finish my work, so I have to pack up and go home.”
Wang Fang said with a smile while warming up the remaining New Year dishes in the kitchen.
Wang Fang cooked very early today because her family was going to Longtoushan Village to pay New Year greetings to Grandma Zhang An.
"Don't talk about it, Huang Ming's father was very fond of it when he was young. Whenever he heard that someone was singing folk songs there, he would join them without doing any work. Later, When you, Mr. Huang, got angry, you just asked him to separate the family, and things got a little better from then on."
Zhang Jianguo also recalled it.
Only then did Zhang An understand why Mr. Huang had not wanted to see Huang Ming's father all this time. It turned out to be this.
After washing up, Zhang An and Su Ying were carrying things to the car, while the little guy was guarding his grandma in the kitchen, eating this and that from time to time.
After breakfast, it was only nine in the morning. After Wang Fang locked all the doors at home, the family drove out of the village.
I have to say, this method of learning to drive to cure motion sickness is really effective.
Because Zhang An discovered that Su Ying did not get carsick while driving all the way from home.
If it had been in the past, she would have been extremely uncomfortable.
But Zhang An didn't mention it because he was worried that Su Ying's motion sickness would react after he said it.
It has only been an hour and a half since we arrived at Longtoushan Village.
In the past two years, the road from Hongyan Town to Baiyan Town has probably been repaired, so the road condition has improved a lot.
Only after passing Baiyan Town, the mountain road to Longtou Mountain is still the same as before.
Some changes have taken place in Longtoushan Village. The road at the entrance of the village seems to have been widened. Although there is no cement road, it is not as narrow as in previous years. Zhang An drove the car directly to the yard of his grandmother's house. .
"You are already here, Xiao An."
Looking at the arrival of Zhang An's family, the old lady couldn't hide the smile on her face.
“There’s nothing else to do in the morning, so I’ll come here early.”
After Wang Fang and Su Ying got off the car, they stayed with the old lady.
“Come on, let’s call Grandma Grandma.”
Zhang An parked the car, got out of the car with his son in his arms, and pointed at Grandma to teach his son how to call someone.
"Grandma."
Although the little guy has not seen the old lady for a few times since he became sensible, he was still very obedient and followed her instructions.
“Okay, our little Qiqi has grown so big, let grandma take a good look at her.”
The smile on the old lady's face was even brighter now, and she stretched out her hand towards Xiao Siqi, her great-grandson.
"Grandma, he is not light. You don't need to hold him, he will walk by himself."
Her son's body is much larger than the average of his peers, so Su Ying hurriedly He spoke.
The old lady didn't insist. Her hands covered with age spots were holding the little guy's shoulders, and her eyes were full of endless kindness.
The little guy was also very obedient and stayed in front of the old lady obediently, completely losing his usual naughtiness.
“You are here.”
Then, the old man also came out of the house and looked at Zhang An’s family and spoke proactively.
Zhang An discovered that he was different this year than before.
Although Old Man Wang was old in the past, he always had the posture of a grown man.
Now, his face is a little darker, and he looks much more relaxed and natural.
Zhang An remembered that on the phone, grandma often said that he would often take the initiative to help with things at home.
Originally he didn't quite believe it, but now it seems that it is true. Old Man Wang must have listened to what he said.
"Qi Qi, call me grandpa."
No matter what happened in the past, it is definitely great for this person to have such a change now.
Although this person’s status in his heart must be on par with those of his grandparents at home.
But if it can make Grandma's life happier, he doesn't mind giving Mr. Wang some basic respect.
"Grandpa~"
The little guy was even less familiar with Old Man Wang, so he just shouted obediently and did not walk over.
"Okay, not bad, not bad, almost one and a half years old."
After hearing this, Old Man Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud.
This time he was happy from the bottom of his heart. Even when he received the Maotai wine Zhang An brought him before, he had never been like this before.
Because he didn't expect Zhang An to teach the little guy to call him. Mainly because he himself knew that Zhang An, his grandson, didn't want to see him, so he didn't expect this at all.
“Not yet, but it’s coming soon. It’s already one year and four months old.”
Zhang An didn’t speak, it was Zhang Jianguo who answered from the side. After staying in the yard for a while, the wind was still very cold.
"Come on, come in, come in, I'll cook for you."
The old lady held the little guy and shouted to the whole family to enter the house.
In the house, Wang Fang and Su Ying were cooking with the old lady, Zhang Jianguo was talking to Old Man Wang, and Zhang An was responsible for taking care of his son.
At first, maybe he came to a strange place, but the little guy stayed obediently in front of Zhang An.
But after half the payment, he became naughty and started walking around the room by himself.
Then he ran from the fire room where everyone was staying to the main room.
Because grandma didn’t have a dog at home, Zhang An didn’t care about him.
Not long after, something happened.
"Dad~wuwuwu..."
The little guy in the main room suddenly shouted, with a hint of crying in his voice.
When the old lady heard this, she quickly ran out to take a look.
When everyone arrived in the main room, they found the little guy standing next to the wooden chicken coop. He was holding the neck of a big rooster in the chicken coop with one hand, wiping his eyes with the other hand and sobbing.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Wang Fang couldn't bear to see his grandson crying, so he immediately stepped forward to coax him, and the old lady followed closely behind.
"Grandma, it hit me, woo woo woo."
The little guy threw himself into his grandma's arms and cried in grievance. His other hand was still holding on to the rooster in the chicken coop.
When everyone heard this, they looked carefully, and sure enough, a big red mark was pecked on the little guy's hand.
"Be good, don't cry. Grandma will help you vent your anger."
Looking at the crying great-grandson, the old lady felt heartbroken.
"Old man, go get the knife and kill this chicken today."
The old lady said fiercely, how could she let her precious great-grandson finally come here once? A chicken was bullied.
Old man Wang was still immersed in the joy of being called grandpa by the little guy. When he heard this, without saying a word, he returned to the kitchen and came out with a kitchen knife.
"Grandma, there's no need to do this. It's his own fault for the chicken, and today is only the third day of the junior high school, so he can't use the knife."
Looking at the idea of killing the chicken to vent his anger on the little guy. Su Ying quickly persuaded the two old men, and then glared at her crying son.
"Okay, shut up and stop crying. Who asked you to provoke them? This is not home. They will not be spoiled and will peck anyone who doesn't peck you."
Su Ying didn't dote on the little guy like her mother-in-law. She knew what was going on as soon as she thought about it.
My son must have been naughty and went to tease the rooster in the chicken coop. Otherwise, why would he come to peck him if he was just shut up in the chicken coop.
Whenever he is at home, he is the king of the house. No matter the cats, dogs, chickens, ducks and geese in the house, they are afraid of him. I can only let him handle it obediently.
But here today, it doesn’t feel like being at home at all, so he was punished for being lawless.
The little guy is usually most afraid of Su Ying. After being stared at, he immediately stopped crying.
He can distinguish between big and small kings, and knows that if he disobeys, his butt will definitely be whipped.
"Yes, grandma, I can't use the knife today, let's teach him a lesson."
Zhang An also helped, and then took the kitchen knife from Old Man Wang's hand.
"In this case, let it live for a few more days."
Seeing that her grandson and grandson's wife said this, the old lady gave up the idea of killing the chicken, but she still stretched out her hand to slap it. A few slaps.
In this way, because it was the Chinese New Year period, the chicken escaped partially.
If it were normal, according to the old lady's temperament, this chicken would definitely go to the pot.
When it was time to eat, the little guy had returned to normal and was sitting between the old lady and Wang Fang.
“Come on, let’s all eat this, this is delicious.”
The old lady didn’t even care about eating herself, she kept picking up food for the little guy.
As long as it is delicious, steamed sausages, braised pork ribs, steamed pork, etc., put them into the little guy's bowl one by one.
"Grandma, don't patronize him, you eat too."
Seeing this, Su Ying started to persuade the old man again.
But she underestimated the old lady’s love for her great-grandson.
After the meal, the whole family gathered around the stove.
After half a day, the little guy got a lot familiar with his grandmother-in-law. He kept talking to the old lady and made her very happy.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang An felt very happy. This may be the meaning of a child to the family.
Unknowingly, it was afternoon, and Zhang An and his family were preparing to go back.
"Mom, let's go back then. You have to take care of yourself. When we have time, we will bring Qiqi over to see you."
Before leaving, Wang Fang held the old lady's hand. hands, said reluctantly.
"Go ahead, drive slowly on the road, all together. After the Chinese New Year, my grandma will come to see you."
I know that my daughter has a lot of animals at home, so she can't live without them. People, so the old lady didn’t keep her.
"Grandma, why don't you come back and live with us for a while."
Seeing that the old lady couldn't let go of the little guy, Su Ying said.
“It won’t happen this time. I have to be careful at home during this period. I will come after the New Year.”
This time the old lady agreed quickly, not for anything else but for the little great-grandson who kept calling her grandma.
"By the way, wait a moment."
After the old lady finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the house.
A few minutes later, he came out carrying a nylon bag.
"Xiao An, take this chicken back together. When you can use the knife, kill it and give it to Qi Qi to eat the meat."
What is in the bag is the little guy who just pecked it. A mouthful of that big cock.
"Grandma, you really don't need it. You can keep it for yourself. We have a lot of them over there."
Zhang An couldn't laugh or cry about his grandmother's grudge.
He thought the rooster had escaped just now, but he didn't expect that the old lady was still thinking about it.
"What you raised is what you raised. It is different from this. If you don't take it, then I will take it myself."
Seeing that Zhang An didn't want it, the old lady stared and said.
Seeing that the old man said so, Zhang An had no choice but to continue and put it in the trunk.
To be honest, he really felt that the chicken was quite unjust. If he stayed in the chicken pen properly, he could not avoid losing his life.
I just hope that no matter what he is reincarnated into in his next life, he will remember the lessons of this life and stop provoking human cubs.
