Text Chapter Four White Lies
Zhou Jiexi, who was struggling alone, sorted out his thoughts a little bit, thinking about how to make it decent, his mind was like a motor running at full power, but it didn't just turn on when he thought about it!
"Xiaojie? I'm asking you something. Where are you going?" the elder sister said.
"Ah, yes, I read some qigong exercises on the Internet that day, and I tried it. It said that I should practice continuously at midnight, absorbing the moonlight, until I feel the sense of qi, otherwise, if I don't practice all night, then the first few days All the training was in vain, so I practiced secretly for a few days, but yesterday I couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep." Zhou Jiexi blushed and said, but he didn't know whether he was blushing from a lie or from embarrassment. Anyway, they thought he blushed from embarrassment.
"You believe it all, what year is it?" Big Sister said
"Tell me, what do you want me to say about you?" second sister
"Hehe, I won't comment on this matter, but you still have perseverance, as long as you can use it for serious business in the future," the third sister said with a sneer
"Xiaojie, is there any reaction?" Fourth Sister
"You... At the beginning, I told you to practice boxing with your uncle. You thought it was hard work. Now you practice by yourself. What if something happens? You want to piss me off and your mother, and you are not allowed to practice in the future." Father Zhou said with an air of pride.
"Aren't I okay?" Zhou Jiexi murmured softly.
Father Zhou stood up abruptly.
"Ah, I promise not to practice in the future. I promise." Zhou Jiexi hurriedly promised to arrive.
At this time, Father Zhou's face looked a little better, but he also let out a "hum", and then sat down. Several sisters also scolded Zhou Jiexi one by one, but Zhou Jiexi didn't have any emotions, because he knew that those who would talk about him were also people who cared about him, unlike some people who said he was good-looking. Li still doesn't know what to do to dig the corner of the wall and dig the grave of the ancestors.
After eating, Zhou Jiexi was almost scolded, so he went back to his room.
This is the ancestral home of the Zhou family in the countryside. Father Zhou's generation has seven brothers and sisters, four boys and three girls. Well, I'm already this age, so I can save myself going in the future, I don't know about this, conflicts affect harmony, that's what the old people don't want to see.
So it was divided at that time. Because Zhou's father didn't live in the village, he didn't need any land, not to mention that he was the eldest son, so he had to inherit the ancestral house and a few antiques. The second child and the sixth child are no longer in the village, and both bought houses in other places, so they took gold, silver and antiques. The third son's family lived in the village, so he took all the antiques from the field, and the three daughters also took some gold and silver jewelry.
The Zhou family was also a big landlord before, and they all served as officials in the Qing Dynasty of the Republic of China. This history can be traced back to the era of chaos and chaos. Some of the branches moved back and some moved away. Now the three branches left in the village are from the Qing Dynasty. Because of the war, the ancestral house was destroyed at that time, so some branches were also broken. Later, the Republic was established. After a long period of peace, some people came back to recognize their ancestors.
In Zhoujia Village, you can tell from the name that there are many people with the surname Zhou. Zhou is indeed a common surname, and there are a few other sporadic surnames. This time the whole family came back because they happened to be compiling a genealogy, and they also happened to have several daughters. I was empty, and I wanted to breathe some fresh air, so I came with my family. Fortunately, the ancestral house is big enough for Zhou Jiexi's family to live in.
Early in the morning at the Zhou family in Zhoujia Village, Zhou Jiexi, who had woken up early, couldn't help getting up. After eating the millet porridge cooked by Zhou's mother early in the morning, he went out. The third sister also said that he slept too much yesterday, and today he became excited and woke up so early. Zhou Jiexi went to the door and took a deep breath, feeling that his entire lungs were freshened up, the air in the countryside is good, there is no pollution, and there is no exhaust gas in the city. There is an indescribable nostalgia while breathing.
Going out today has a purpose. I want to collect some seeds and plant them in the space to see what they can grow into. I can rely on them for food in the future, but I still have to think about how to do them.
It is estimated that being a farmer at home is out of the question. My father used to plan food in the fields. I just knew there was no future, so the few brothers went out together at the beginning, and worked around to get a city residence right and a well-off family.
And if I want to come back to be a farmer, wouldn't that be a slap in the face, and I don't have any land, and my mother definitely disagrees, it's much better than farming, and she thinks her son is hard. Where is she willing to let her son come back to farm, it's a shame here.
If you want to talk about living a hermit life like in the novel, planting land, raising fish and so on, how old are you, and you have seen through the world, how will you get married in the future, who would like to come back with you to be a farmer? Although I know that I will definitely make a lot of money in the future, my parents don't know. Don't you think they'll believe you just by saying a few words? Just based on your own bastard performance at this time, the possibility is very low, planning a plan.
"Forget it, let's not think about the horoscope yet, let's see how the things planted in the space are, and I'm talking." Zhou Jiexi thought helplessly.
When I was thinking about things on the road, I unconsciously walked to his third uncle's house. The third uncle had already left the field. Because my grandparents didn't want to leave the village, they lived in his third uncle's house and were taken care of by his third uncle. Several brothers and sisters gave his third uncle a sum of money, and the living expenses of the two old people. In addition, his third uncle was also filial, and the mother-in-law at home had nothing to say, and she did a good job, so the food and accommodation were not bad. The old man is in good spirits and in good health.
"Xiaojie is here, come in quickly, you've finished your breakfast, and my aunt will lay some eggs for you." The third aunt put down her work and said enthusiastically.
Zhou Jiexi smiled and said, "No need for auntie, I've eaten it. I drank millet porridge just outside the house. Do your work first. I'll go and see my grandparents."
"Okay, your grandparents are in the house, you go and have a look." Third Aunt said.
"Oh, I see".
The old man in the house had already heard the sound outside, and he called the eldest grandson to come in full of anger. When Zhou Jiexi walked in, he saw the old man sitting on the rocking chair and smoking a cigarette. The grandmother was picking vegetables not far away, but she had already put it down, wiped her hands on her bib, and walked over to see her grandson.
Zhou Jiexi hurriedly said hello when he saw it, and then chatted with the two old people. The two old people were also happy to see his grandson, so he said not to leave at noon and eat here, and called all the family members over, and ate together when they came back. Zhou Jiexi quickly responded, but Zhou's father went to the village committee early today, and he didn't know if he would come back in the afternoon, so he chatted with the two old people about other household matters.
Then I told the old man that I wanted to find some seeds, saying that the old man from a friend’s house wanted to plant some to pass the time, because I knew that when he was going to the countryside, I asked him if he had any.
"Yeah, I've missed these things since I moved to the city. I don't have much interest in raising flowers and plants. I can't eat them, and it's hard to live." Grandpa agreed very much.
"Then you go to the cabinet and get some, there are some cabbage, tomato, radish, loofah, eggplant, watermelon, pumpkin, cabbage, cauliflower, green vegetables, etc." Grandpa said to Zhou Jiexi.
"Oh yes, hehe, thank you Grandpa, I'll get some." Zhou Jiexi said happily.
Zhou Jiexi took a little bit of everything, anyway, he planted it for a try, and then went to the seed shop to take a look. Later, Zhou Jiexi's family also came, chatted here, and ate a farm meal. The taste is still very pure. Although the food is delicious, Zhou Jiexi feels that it is suffering. He wants to find a place without people quickly, and then go to the space to plant the seeds.
Time always feels slow when you think it is fast, and it seems to be fast again when you think it is slow. Let you suffer helplessly. Zhou Jiexi waited and waited, and ate and ate. I also drank a little wine on the table, a little tipsy. But it doesn't seem to be the same as before, and the amount of alcohol has improved a lot. After discovering this, Zhou Jiexi secretly became even more amused. She laughed wickedly, and seeing her third sister couldn't help but give him a shudder before waking up.
The people around gave this too, making them laugh. Grandpa also said, "Third girl is still like this, hehe." At this moment, Third Sister's face also turned red. Zhou Jiexi also muttered, "Violent woman, I don't know as much as you". His sister almost couldn't help giving him another slap, but when Zhou Jiexi saw her move, she immediately moved away, and everyone laughed even harder. The table was full of laughter, and the exchanging of glasses was extremely lively.
Finally, after eating and drinking well, the family left and went back. Zhou Jiexi thought to himself that he finally got it, it wasn't easy.
Back home, Zhou Jiexi hurried back to his room and locked the door. The family couldn't help laughing when they saw it. They also went back to rest. After all, they drank a lot of wine. It was the rice wine they brewed themselves, and it still had a lot of stamina. The women also drank some sweet wine, and they were all a little tired.
In Zhou Jiexi's room, Zhou Jiexi checked it, closed the curtains, turned off the lights, and stepped into the space.
Stepping on the ground of the space, Zhou Jiexi's whole body became excited, and quickly called for the goblins to come out. The goblins who heard the shouts all flew over, but in fact the space was empty, they knew when Zhou Jiexi came in, and they were about to fly over to see him.
"Greetings, little master," said the goblins.
"Well, I got the seeds and you guys try to see them now." Zhou Jiexi said excitedly.
"Yes, my lord." The little goblin stood up and said.
Zhou Jiexi took out the seeds, there were several small packets in total, and the different types had already been divided. He also told the goblins not to plant them together, but they were all professional, so there was no need for Zhou Jiexi to remind him, but who told him It's the boss, and he also said he knew it.
