She didn't talk much about it, but she still went back to her eldest brother's house to have a meal with her relatives.
Compared with the situation in Asang’s family, she cherished the affection between her relatives. Her family was right, she was away from school for three years. Since the villagers moved out, three elderly people have been sent away so far. Grandma looks very uneasy.
The old man lives one day at a time, but she counts every day as he can accompany him.
The three old people who died all lived at home all day doing nothing, eating and waiting to die.
A man's energy was gone and he left quickly.
One of them, Asang, also knew him, but Lan Qiuchen never mentioned it to her. As people grow old, they will eventually have to leave. Asang was already worried about his parents. Now that he was living so far away, he would be even more worried when he heard the news of the death of an acquaintance, so he might as well not talk about it.
On the other hand, the other old people have moved back to the village, and they are really not used to the leisurely life in the town.
Those old people who moved back to the village often laughed at themselves and talked about being born with a low life and unable to sit still. After living back for more than a year, it was confirmed that I really had a "cheap" life. After working all day long, my whole body became much looser.
One of the old men, who had to walk with a cane, is now walking as fast as flying. He walks slowly on the country road with his dog behind his back every day, and he is very energetic.
Seeing this, his children tried to persuade him to take him out to live, but he refused to move, saying that the town was full of smog and was very annoying.
It's no exaggeration to say it's smoky. Infrastructure construction is going on everywhere, and there's dust everywhere.
Compared with the quiet mountain village, it is like two worlds.
Even the cousin of Lan Qiuchen's family is the same. From slumping on a wicker chair waiting for death to walking independently last year, raising chickens, geese, and growing vegetables, she has experienced an earth-shaking change from before she returned to the village. change.
The younger daughter-in-law saw this and wanted to take her back to pay her respects, but she was rejected.
Later, when Lan Qiuchen went to the village to visit some elderly people, she was dragged by her aunt to talk about her daily life. Only then did I know that my aunt's daughter-in-law saw that she was strong and wanted her to go back to cooking and doing housework for the family.
Because the daughter-in-law's father was paralyzed on the bed and her mother was not in good health, she simply went to her daughter's home to take care of herself.
The daughter-in-law has to go to work, take care of the children after get off work, cook for several people and feed her father, etc. My aunt's youngest son was impatient to serve his mother, but he was very attentive and attentive to his father-in-law, scrubbing his body every day.
But the young couple both have to go to work, and they are really tired from doing this every day. Moreover, the salary is not high. In their eyes, hiring nannies and hourly workers is a job for the rich.
Seeing that my own mother/mother-in-law was getting well, I had an idea.
Of course my cousin refused to go out and lived a comfortable life in the village.
Seeing her old man like this, Lan Qiuchen was so envious that she even thought about letting her grandma go back to live in the village and breathe more fresh spiritual energy. However, since my family has no land or house in the village, how can I feel comfortable staying at my uncle's house? Had to give up.
However, there is a small piece of land at the back door of her house, which is just right for her grandma to grow some vegetables to relieve her boredom.
Lan Qiuchen thought about pouring some medicine residue or medicine into the ground, but then she thought about it and decided not to do it to avoid getting into trouble. Since reconciling with Long Yu, she and Asang were drawn into a small group of four people, including Long Yu's assistant Xiao Dong.
Asang practices every day and never reacts in the group.
Usually Xiaodong and Lan Qiuchen chatted the most, listening to him talk about the daily styles of some strange people. There are good people and evil people. The behavior of decent people is the same, while the practice methods of evil people are all kinds of strange and vicious.
There are not many people who were sacrificed like Lu Qingzi, but the method of sacrifice (death) is different.
Because of his benevolence, Asang took advantage of a heavy rain to mix the spiritual water in the rain and sprinkle it on the land of Lanxi Village. The health of the elderly in the village has indeed improved, but it also gave Lan Qiuchen a sense of crisis.
Asang is a veritable alien, and Lan Qiuchen believes that he has only half a foot in the alien world. Both were newbies who acted as they pleased without considering the consequences in the future. Fortunately, Xiaodong said that the aura of Lanxi Village is so light that no one can see it. It is of some benefit to ordinary people, but has little effect on strangers.
Reassure her and say that no stranger would massacre the village for such a small amount of spiritual energy. That would be such a loss!
Fortunately, okay, Lan Qiuchen finally let go of her unwarranted heart. However, some psychological shadows are invisible on the surface, but in fact they have always existed -
"Huh? Take my car back to Lanxi Village?" Lan Qiuchen, who was having dinner with her grandparents at her parents' house, frowned, " Now that the town and village are open to traffic, isn’t there a ride? Let them take a taxi. I have something to do today and won’t go back so soon.” The guest asked about Lanxi Village.
The residents of Lanxi Village all know that most of these guests are going to Sang's house. Some people say they don't know, and some people will give directions to outsiders. Her family has always been in the former category. I wonder why her eldest brother is so enthusiastic today.
Although the customer is God, my brother and sister-in-law have never bowed.
"Tsk," Brother Lan was uncharacteristically unwilling to accept her rejection today, "What's the matter? Tell me and listen, I'll help you handle it. Just take those guests back."
"No." Lan Qiu Chen's attitude was firm.
She is suffering from paranoia. If someone else is riding in her car, she will be in danger, but she cannot tell her family.
"Oh, just help me." Brother Lan pleaded, "Those customers are not here for Asang, they just want to see what the environment of a certain star is like. Please, please , I have promised them..."
Some hitchhikers refused to enter the village and stopped at the entrance of the village.
But there is still a long way to go from the village entrance, and it is not easy to walk into the village with luggage in large boxes and small bags. Besides, it seems that the weather today is not very good, it is gloomy and it might rain.
Visitors are guests, and guests will also bring a certain amount of income to the village, so why not?
"No, brother, you are not usually so enthusiastic about causing trouble for your sister and me. What happened today?" Lan Qiuchen looked at the pleading eldest brother in confusion, "Is it possible that those customers gave it to me? How much is the tip? ”
Shili Town is a small place and we don’t have the habit of tipping, but we are not opposed to tipping either.
Some wealthy businessmen from other places are very generous, and it is common for waiters to reward them with hundreds or dozens of rewards. As long as there are no disputes or disputes with guests, hotels and guesthouses generally will not intervene.
"Tsk, your brother, am I such a philistine?" Seeing her soft attitude, Brother Lan began to tell her the reason enthusiastically, "Let me tell you, there is an expert in my store..."
< br>The guests he mentioned were five people in total, two men and three women. It was said that they were traveling companions whom they met halfway.
One of the unattractive-looking women is about thirty years old and always has a nagging expression. When I checked in at his store yesterday, there happened to be a middle-aged man checking out with a bag.
She gave him a fixed look and boldly advised him to wait two minutes before going out.
The man didn't know why, so he looked at her like she was crazy, completed the formalities, and left. After walking a few steps, he was hit by a car.
"Everyone present at the time, including your brother, was shocked!" Brother Lan gestured in fear, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen a real master!"
It's so rare. If there is any wood, it must be held.
Lan Qiuchen was stunned: "..."
She was also stunned, and goosebumps instantly appeared on her body.
