Chapter 204: Crying Even More
The Land Lord was kind and loyal by nature, and wanted nothing more than for everyone in the world to be well-fed and clothed, and to live in affluence.
However, the Land Goddess didn't think so. After hearing this, the Land Goddess said, "This won't work, there should be rich and poor people in the world, no one will be willing to do the hard work if everyone is rich, and there will be a gap in order to divide up the work and fulfill the function of the society." It is said that the difference between the rich and the poor in the world came from this.
Of course, because of this incident, everyone thought that the landlady was an "evil woman", and few people worshiped her, so it was common to see a temple of the landlord at the entrance of each village, but not a temple of the landlady.
Of course, it can not be denied that the words of the landlady, although not pleasant to the ear, but is the truth, so in ancient times, everyone has passed on this old saying: "Gong do things fairly, the mother-in-law bitter words."
Generally speaking, the number of children who recognize the land as their godfather is extremely small, but it is extremely effective in suppressing wandering spirits.
"If your son recognizes the Land Lord as his godfather, the soul in his body will not be easily taken out to play by other wandering souls; the Land Lord will stand guard outside the entrance to the village, and it is the child's soul that goes away, but it will not be able to get out of this village, and will end up going back into the body." Liu Wan Diem said so.
After a pause, he added: "You prepare offerings of chickens, ducks, fish and fruits, and so on, early tomorrow morning we will take your son to recognize the land, and in the future, every year at the same time, you must take your son to pay homage to the land, and know that there will be no more trouble until he reaches adulthood"
When Mr. and Mrs. Wang Dezi heard this, they quickly nodded their heads in agreement.
Although their son had already woken up, in order to avoid going off the deep end again, letting their son recognize the land as his godparents would do no harm anyway, so how could there be any unwillingness to do so!
Seeing that Wang Dezi's family's affairs were pretty much done, the crowd was ready to hit the road back home.
Seeing everyone pulling their legs to go, Wang Dezi rushed to meet up and said: "Today everyone has helped me so much, where is the good intention to let you go back on an empty stomach, or with a meal in the go!" After this battle, Wang Dezi is much more generous.
The same village of men see Wang Dezi is not open to stay guests, one by one turned to tease him, mouth joked: "We want to eat at night, but there is oil in the rice, not smoked out of the miles with oil!"
Wang Dezi see everyone still take those old things to tease their own, suddenly the old face suffocated red, said: "Where yo! How many years ago, everyone rest assured, tonight this good wine and meat, my family must manage enough."
Everyone heard, laughed, see Wang Dezi so kind to stay guests, also stayed.
Wang Dezi daughter-in-law's hands and feet are very nimble, from the pen each caught a fat chicken and duck, and went to the vegetable field to pick a few handfuls of fresh vegetables, and soon plucked the hair and scalding water, and soon cleaned up a table of hearty meals.
Wang Dezi saw the meal is ready, and went to the house to move a good wine, then greeted everyone on the table.
Before serving the table, Liu Wan Yan noticed that Wang De Zi first asked his daughter-in-law to choose a leg and a few pieces of good meat from a big plate of chicken and duck dishes and put them in a big bowl, then added green vegetables and white rice with a strong smell and served them to his daughter in the hut.
Seeing this scene, the three of them smiled heartily and began to happily eat with everyone at the dinner table again.
Early the next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Wang Dezi prepared a thick ritual supplies, enough to load a large basket, to see the villagers on the sidelines of the hustle and bustle of the villagers called Wang Dezi changed sex.
After the arrival of Liu Wan Yan, Wang Dezi's family led Liu Wan Yan to the land temple outside the village entrance.
The land temple was built right at the entrance to the village, and the group walked for a few minutes to get there.
Liu Wan Diem instructed Mr. and Mrs. Wang Dezi to place the offerings in front of the temple, and the group hurriedly took out plates and plates of offerings from the basket and filled the front of the land temple, which was the size of a chicken coop, with offerings.
When all the offerings were set up, Liu Wan Yan asked Wang Dezi's son to walk to the front of the temple.
Since the child woke up, he was very active, although his reaction was still a little slower than some naughty children in the village, but he was basically the same as a normal person, which made Mr. and Mrs. Wang Dezi very satisfied.
First let the child kneel in front of the land temple, let him kowtow to the full nine ringing head, the boy side kowtow, everyone on the side of the incense and candles.
Liu Wan Yan again with yellow paper in front of the temple, mouth chanting: "land grandpa kneeling in front of, a kneeling peace and two rich, do not gold and silver, do not drink, as long as the next year to come back to kneel!"
After the child kowtowed, but also want the child squatting in front of the temple to personally burn paper money to the landlord, until all the paper money burned, it will be poured with yellow wine on the ashes, the ceremony is considered complete.
Waiting for the next year, this ceremony is still at this time to come to worship, year after year, know that the boys after adulthood, they do not have to go.
Wang Dezi family things finally resolved, Liu Wan Yan a few people also heard that Wang Dezi two families intend to go to the city to buy their daughters a wheelchair, so that their daughters can come out from time to time to see, with the outside world contact contact.
After everyone knew, straight to Wang Dezi this sex change good, although the decades of problems can not all change over at once.
In fact, Wang Dezi is still a little stingy, but this is limited to his treatment of their own, for the daughter son, the two began to learn to treat the same, of course, this is beside the point.
Since the matter had been settled, Liu Wan Diem and the others thought of going back, so that they could continue to spend the vacation that had been interrupted by Aunt Chunhua (Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law).
Originally, several people wanted to go back in the afternoon on the day of the wedding, but the village headman's family insisted that they stay a few more days, and said that there was a wedding banquet in the village in the afternoon, so that the three of them would go together to support the scene.
Because the three people helped Wang Dezi's son to recover his sanity, and also piggybacked on the cure of Wang Dezi's petty problems, the head of the village is more respect for Liu Wan Yan three people.
As soon as they saw the three men, they all shouted "Master" with a mouthful of words, and their faces were filled with respect and currying favor.
In view of the village head's family's enthusiastic invitation, the three people did not respect, but agreed to stay to participate in the wedding banquet.
It is said that the marriage of a family and the village head with some relatives, can invite three people to eat a banquet, they also feel that the face adds a few points of honor.
In the afternoon, the head of the village with a string of big red firecrackers remember, a wedding banquet will be in a burst of beeping and popping sound began.
Because it is a wedding banquet, the man's family specially exchanged a master chef to chef.
Seat listed standard eight dishes eight dishes eight bowls, are mainly chicken, duck, fish and meat, dish dish bowl bowl have meat, each dish dish and meat, eight dishes to be hot fried, eight sea bowl also slow stewed in the fire, this is also known as the three eight seat, is the village wedding banquet unique to the large surface.
Villagers in addition to individual low-income households, basically counted on the well-off, the family meat than on the written era of a lot more, but such a large surface, such a ton of meat dishes are still very happy people.
People are tightening their belts, waiting to eat the evening feast.
Liu Wan Yan three get to come, let the main family is very happy, to know that they are now in the villagers of the people but the big ability of the people.
The wife of the man's family first welcomed him with her daughter-in-law and greeted the village headman's family and the three of them to the main family's table.
A grandmother with an oily face and a woman with a thick foundation dabbed on her face led Liu Wan Diem to sit down on the table.
"Fifth sister, why don't you see your family's Gangzi Li? Why don't you see your family's Gangzi Li? He's the groom today, why don't you come out and show your face?" The village chief asked.
This old lady surnamed Wu, is the male family's mother, and the village head is the same generation, plus a little kinship, she is the fifth in the family, so the village head called her fifth sister, and the village of the late generation, is called the five grandma.
Seeing that the village chief had opened her mouth, the fifth granny said, "He's in the house, he'll come out later."
"What? Why is he, as a bridegroom, stuffed in the house like a big girl? Is he afraid that once he comes out, we'll pour wine on him?" The people on the side also joked loudly.
"Da Gangzi, come out quickly, everyone is waiting anxiously!" Seeing that everyone was asking about it, Granny Five yelled loudly towards the house.
"Coming, coming." Only a voice came out from the house.
In a short while, a simple-looking man came out of the house with a big red "Xi" character plastered on it.
The man was wearing a half old black suit, holding a one year old doll in his arms, which had just been woken up from a nap, and was hiding in the man's arms, wailing, with a pair of drowsy eyes.
"Oh …… oh …… we do not cry, good boy oh." The man then coaxed the doll and came over.
"How did you bring him out miles!" Granny five glared at her son, said with a displeased face.
"The doll wasn't feeling well and was always crying, so I had to bring him out to coax him!" The man replied as he skillfully coaxed the child.
"Which is something that a big man should do, the doll should be left for the daughter-in-law to bring up instead." The fifth mother-in-law said.
"Mother, it's not like you don't know that the doll he recognizes people." The man then said and added, "And I don't feel comfortable giving it to someone else to bring."
The man did not seem to care very much about the side of the bride, focusing on this coaxing the child, completely did not notice, the words, the side of the bride dressed in red suddenly black face.
That look of uncertainty flickered on the bride's face, and did not stay for long.
Only to see her walk up, put away the unpleasantness on her face, smiled gently at the man and said, "Give me the waifu to bring, you go out and get busy!"
The man was a bit hesitant, but the old lady on the other side of the room pushed his hand, so that the bride on the other side of the room took the doll in a smooth manner.
Still a bit uneasy, the man was about to hold back the doll when he was scolded by his old lady on the side: "Still not quick to go out, a big old man watching the child on this big day, what is this?"
Seeing that the child was taken care of, the fifth old lady urged her son to go out to greet the guests, she was most displeased with the way her son stayed next to his grandson every day, which would remind her of that unlucky woman again.
Soon, the man was pushed out by the old lady, but did not see behind the face of the bride quietly pinched in the body of the child, suddenly, the child "wow", crying more powerful.
This scene just fell into the eyes of Liu Wan Diem, his position at this angle just can see this scene.
He could see that the bride was not a kind hearted person, and she could be cruel to a child, so she must not have given birth to this doll!
Thinking of this, Liu Wan Yan only felt disgusted with this woman, suddenly lost the mood to eat.
Look at the side of the mixed more than just the child was hurt by the mother and son of the five grandmothers, Liu Wan Diem also do not know what to say good, just feel strange in the heart.
And then look carefully, Liu Wan Yan and found that the five grandmothers, although the oil and light, looks very full of spirit, dressed in red, purple and purple celebratory clothes, but behind is a foggy piece.
Although it is not clear what is behind the five grannies, but Liu Wan Yan did not want to study down, after all, this is a happy day, and now open the wedding banquet, if you and the host family toast, go up to a sentence: "Your family may be in trouble recently!" This is not to find oneself uncomfortable.
Moreover, just now the bride, already let Liu Wan Yan pour full appetite.
Early the next morning, "ah -" a scream broke through the hazy sky, half the village of young and old in their sleep was woken up.
It was the scream of the new daughter-in-law of the five grandmothers' house. Since the village head's house was quite a distance away from the five grandmothers' house, the village head's house on this side of the village was not awakened, and the people were still immersed in their sweet dreams.
Not long after, someone ran to the village head's house, "bang bang bang ……" a burst of vigorous knocking sound sounded.
"Who is it? It's not even dawn yet!" The village chief was awakened by the knocking on the door.
"Bang Bang Bang ……" The knocking still sounded very urgent, only to hear someone outside shouting, "Village Chief, something happened, Village Chief …… "
"What happened?" The village chief got up and put on his clothes, words with a strong displeasure, to know last night's wedding banquet he drank a lot of wine.
"Can't we talk about it in the morning?" Although displeased, the village chief still got out of bed and prepared to open the door.
"Village Chief, something big has happened, Granny Five has thrown herself into the well!" I heard the man shouting loudly.
"What? What did you say?" The village chief's footsteps lurched, and he hurriedly walked up quickly to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, the village chief stared at the visitor and asked, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
The man also looked anxious, his face red from running all the way over, and said in a loud voice, "Village Chief, Granny Five has thrown herself into a well in her own yard, so you should go and take a look."
As soon as the village chief heard these words, his heart tightened, and then he knew that these words were true because of the anxious look on his face, so he hurriedly shouted at the whole family to get up and go to the house of the fifth old lady to take a look.
The village chief was originally the backbone of the village, he had to manage the big and small things, in addition and the five grannies with some kinship, and now she had an accident, in the clear in the reason he and his family have to go over to see.
Just think about it, I feel that the inside through the odd, last night they also went to eat a wedding banquet, see that the five grannies side of the red-faced appearance, where is what kind of people will throw a well.
So after a burst of fumbling, the village chief took the whole family to the five grandmothers to rush, out of the former also did not forget to pull Liu Wan Diem three young people, thinking that if there is really something, perhaps they can also let them help a hand.
Along the way, to notify the news of the people told them that this morning the five grandmothers threw themselves into the well, but the good thing is that the newly married daughter-in-law found, this will be looking for someone to save the old lady to come up.
When the village chief and his party arrived, the house of the five grandmothers has been surrounded, inside and outside the village people, most of them are here to help, but there is no lack of some just to see the fun.
Seeing the village chief come in, everyone took the initiative to make a road, so that they can quickly enter the courtyard door.
Walking through the crowd, the village chief quickly found Gangzi who was busy in the house.
As soon as he went up, he asked, "What? What happened, why did your mother suddenly throw herself into the well?"
That just son in the village health center to find a doctor to the old mother diagnosis and treatment, is anxious, a time, the words are not fluent: "I …… I do not know ah, Xiao Fen (refers to just went to the new daughter-in-law, later are so called) shouted when last night, drunk is sleeping it! As soon as I heard her shouting I ran out, and saw her pointing to the well in the yard with a panicked face. I went up to take a look."
Gangzi had panic in his eyes, his body was wet and stained with a lot of water, his face was white, as if recalling the shocking scene in the well in the morning, "I took a look, yo, jeez, yo, my mother was actually half of her body soaked inside the water, her body was still flopping around, and her hands were constantly slapping the well water."
Fortunately, the five grannies were found in time, Han quickly let Xiao Fen went out to call people, soon everyone will dry over to help, and soon it was seven hands and feet of the five grannies from the well inside fished out.
But the five grannies due to choking a lot of water, is now unconscious in bed, waiting for the doctor.
The doctor took out his stethoscope and probed the body of the old lady, and touched her stomach.
Granny Wu was lying on the bed with a pale face, although someone had already changed her into dry clothes, but her body had long been soaked with well water and turned white, covered with cold sweat, the whole person still looked wet, as if she was still the same as when she was fished out of the well just now.
Looking at the five grandma's abdomen slightly rise, the doctor reached over and tactfully pressed down, only pressed a few times, only to hear "wow ……" sound, the five grandma's mouth spit out a few mouths of well water.
"Mother …… mother, how are you doing?" Gangzi stood by the bedside with an anxious face.
With the spitting out of the well water, the fifth granny opened those muddy old eyes and looked at the people in front of her listlessly, still looking a bit delirious, and muttering intermittently from her miserable mouth, "I was wrong …… It's because I didn't do right by you… …"
Seeing that his mother was still not awake, Gangzi became anxious and slightly shook Granny Five's body, shouting, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes, I'm Gangzi!"
The five grannies on the bed were still chaotic, their heads were shaking fiercely, their hands were still trembling, and their mouths were filled with panic, saying, "Yes, yes …… you just hate me, but you have to think about Kong Zi, I'm an old immortal, it's useless even if you're harming me… …"
"Doctor, doctor, take a quick look, what's wrong with my mother?" Gangzi looked at the doctor with an anxious face.
The doctor once again took out his stethoscope and probed the heartbeat, and then turned over the eyes of the person in the bed that were sometimes closed and sometimes open, and had a full body check before finally shaking his head and saying, "According to reason, the old lady should have woken up after she vomited the water, but I haven't seen her in this condition before."
