Chapter 42: The long-lost reunion
Chapter 142 Long-lost Reunion
No one expected that the matter would end in such a way. Aunt Xiao Yu returned to her parents' home that night, probably because she had no shame to stay here. Uncle Xiao Yu was drunk with Xiao Qiang that night. After all, they were brothers, and they broke their bones and connected their tendons.
As for the money he earned two days ago, Xiao Yu did not give it to Xiao Qiang, but gave it to his mother. To be honest, Xiao Yu had no good feelings for these relatives, but now he has played this. If it weren't for the two children who said it, this matter would have really been put on his head.
In the next few days, relatives came one after another, including Xiao Yu's aunt and Xiao Yu's uncle. Everyone brought a group of families with them. There were about a dozen people in total. They all had adults and children at a table, and Xiao Yu became the head of these children.
On New Year's Eve, the whole family was wearing new clothes, and the whole family mobilized to kill chickens and gooses and paste couplets. Xiao Yu took a few children to play in the village. Each of the children held a spear in his hands. This was bought by Xiao Qiang from the town. He said that the children in the city were playing, and some hand-wiping cannons were all things that children played with, and the danger was not very high.
On the afternoon of the 30th, the meat was cooked. Xiao Qiang set up a table in the yard and then put wine and meat. There were also incense and candles on the table to worship the ancestors. This was because Grandpa Xiao Yu’s cemetery was too far away, otherwise he would have to go to the cemetery to worship, but that was just a form. When Xiao Yu was fine at night, he tried to summon his grandfather’s soul, but he couldn’t attract it at all. Xiao Yu didn’t know whether his grandfather had really gone to the spiritual world or had been reincarnated.
Xiao Yu and his group of children knelt on the ground and followed the adults to worship in the distance. No one spoke. After kowtowed, everyone called back to the room. It was time to prepare for dinner. There were two tables inside, filled with wine and meat, which was very rich.
Although Xiao Yu is not interested in his relatives, he is all his family members after all, and they all come from a long way, and the past will be over. As long as he can get along well in the future, he will be happy to accept it.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, come on, I will do my best to you this glass of wine. Thank you for your hard work over the years! We were not sensible a few years ago. Is there anything wrong with what we did? I hope you don't take it to your heart."
As soon as everyone was on the table, Uncle Xiao Yu stood up, held a wine glass, and said sincerely on his face.
"Yes, a few years ago, we just had a child and the family was not in good condition, so what's wrong with me? Don't take my second brother and second sister-in-law to heart. You have worked hard with Xiao Yu over the years. We plan to bring Xiao Yu to the city. The education conditions in the city are good, so that the children will have more ways to come out in the future. What do you think?"
Xiao Yu's mother stood up and held a wine glass. But what she said made Xiao Qiang a little unnatural. After all, what the other party said was a good thing, but they have been carrying Xiao Yu for seventy and six years and have long regarded Xiao Yu as their child. How could they let Xiao Yu leave?
Xiao Yu's mother hurriedly gestured, "Xiao Yu is very good to us, and her academic performance is excellent. You can't let him go. Don't worry, we won't treat him badly."
Xiao Qiang lit a cigarette and didn't say anything. The originally lively New Year's Eve suddenly became nervous because of Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu sat on the small table on the side. Although he was having a meal, he listened to the adults' conversation. When he heard that he wanted to take him away, his first reaction was to disagree.
"This is a big deal, it depends on whether the child agrees or not. We can't make the decision," Xiao Qiang said after a while.
"Hey, he is a child, what do you know? Although Shimo Village is good, after all, in the countryside, the children who go out in the countryside are very different from those outside! Over the years, we have made some money. You don't have to worry about the children's schooling problem at all."
Xiao Yu's mother said enthusiastically. The level of enthusiasm made Xiao Yu a little confused. Can this big city really make a person change his temperament?
Xiao Qiang was also a little embarrassed. He also knew that going to a big city is good for the children, but they were just a child like Xiao Yu. Although they were not biological, they could see that they were even more powerful than their own. If they were taken away, it would probably not be easy to come back in the future.
"Oh, let's talk about this later. The New Year is the New Year, why do you say this? Come on, let's have a drink, second brother." Uncle Xiao Yu and the third uncle, seeing that Xiao Qiang was in a dilemma, stood up and rescued.
"That's true, let's talk about this later. We brothers finally got together, and we must be drunk until we finish it today."
"Sister-in-law, come, let's have some drinks too. It's really hard for you over the years."
Although Xiao Yu yearns for life in big cities, he only yearns for it. Now he wants to practice and cannot leave the mountains at all. If he really leaves now, then his opportunity will probably be wasted. So there is no need to consider this matter. Even if he doesn't practice, he will not leave! No matter whether his uncle's family is sincere or false, he will be able to understand this love.
In Xiao Yu's room, there was a desk with five or six small bowls on the table. These were all made from the dishes in advance, just to keep them for the little ghost. After all, the little ghost is also a child and also likes all kinds of delicious and fun things.
"Xiaobao, they are going to take Brother Yu away. Have you been to the big city?" Xiaoqiang stood at the table and sucked the fragrance of the food without listening, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
"I haven't been there before, but I heard from other ghosts that there are many people in big cities, all of them are houses, and the yang energy is very strong. If we go there, we probably can't go out to practice."
"Oh, then don't go. I feel that it's pretty good here, there aren't many people, and we can still go out and have fun."
After eating for three or four hours, Xiao Qiang was drunk even more. Fortunately, there were enough houses at home, so after getting drunk, he sent them to the room to rest, but at night, he was afraid that he would be deserted.
Seeing that Xiao Qiang and the others were drunk, Xiao Yu helped his mother clean up the dishes, then carried a small basket, filled with some wine and meat, and some incense and candles on the yellow paper, so he went to the mountain temple. Since the mountain god Rat met Xiao Yu, he has helped Xiao Yu a lot, so Xiao Yu always remembers him.
The Mountain Temple looks very lively today, full of incense, the altars are filled with fruits and vegetables, and there are many more flowers. It should be the elderly in the village who asked their children for marriage, so the small mountain temple looks quite good at this time.
"You have a good life, you eat better than me." Xiao Yu joked as soon as he entered the temple gate.
The mouse exposed a head from under the altar. When he saw that it was Xiao Yu, he jumped out and said proudly, "Of course, I can only use a little trick and want some incense. That's not a good idea. By the way, I heard that you were captured by the police a few days ago. What's going on?"
"It's been a matter of time? I just said that it's nothing. I just went to help me with a little help," Xiao Yu took an orange on the table and said while eating it.
"A small matter, hehe, you go out now and you're afraid there's nothing else to do except catch ghosts, right?" Mouse teased.
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, can I go on a blind date?"
