"I have a fever." Liu Xiaojun said seriously.
Liu Huizhen immediately became anxious when she heard this:
"This child must have been possessed. When we were coming back, we passed by an ancestral grave. Tangtang's great-grandmother had seen this child. She must have loved Tangtang so much that she caused the child to be possessed."
As she spoke, Liu Huizhen handed the candy to Liu Xiaojun:
"Come, hold your sister."
Liu Xiaojun had just taken the candy and before he could say anything, Liu Huizhen turned around, took an egg from the cabinet, and then kept standing the egg on the mirror.
Standing and muttering:
"The child's great-grandmother, is that you? If it's you, please stand for a moment. The child's great-grandmother, is that you? If it's you, please stand for a moment."
Liu Huizhen had no choice. Things like standing an egg on the ground to ask the evil spirit should be done by the eldest elder in the family.
But there is no one else at home now, so she is the only one who can perform this ritual.
Liu Xiaojun watched from the side. His grandmother had done this for him when he was a child. Chinese culture is broad and profound. The end of science is metaphysics, so there is no harm in learning it.
Liu Huizhen kept muttering for a long time, and when she saw that the egg could not stand up, she was about to cry.
"Mom, don't worry, take a deep breath and try a few more times."
Liu Xiaojun advised that her mother was probably too nervous and scared her grandmother.
After a while, Liu Huizhen slowly released her hand, and the egg miraculously stood up.
Seeing that the egg stood upright, Liu Huizhen immediately stood up and bowed to the egg.
"Her great-grandmother, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Could you please confirm if I called you the wrong name?"
As he said this, he stood the egg up again, and it miraculously stood up again.
“Huh~”
Only then did Liu Huizhen breathe a sigh of relief.
"Grandma, Tangtang is still young. She can't bear your care. Everything is fine at home. Thanks to Xiaojun, we have enough food and warm clothes. You don't have to worry too much. Go back quickly."
As he said this, he scooped a bowl of rice from the rice bag and offered it as an offering. After offering it for a long time, he finally felt relieved.
He said slowly: "He should have been sent away."
Liu Xiaojun watched with interest: "Mom, does this thing really work?"
"Hey! What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Huizhen glared at Liu Xiaojun.
Then he kept bowing to the mirror:
"Grandma Taizu, Xiaojun didn't mean it. I hope you won't blame me."
Then he looked at Liu Xiaojun and said seriously:
"You can't be disrespectful to your grandmother."
Liu Xiaojun had been here for a long time and had never seen his mother like this before, so he immediately became obedient.
"Okay, rest in peace, grandma. I'll come visit you when I have time."
Liu Xiaojun bowed to the egg, and Liu Huizhen burst out laughing.
At night, while Liu Huizhen was not paying attention, Liu Xiaojun sneaked into Shazhu's kitchen to make brown sugar ginger tea and secretly fed Tangtang a bowl of it.
These are all treatments of traditional Chinese medicine. In such a cold weather, Liu Huizhen took Tangtang home, and it was inevitable that she would catch a cold. This fever might be caused by the cold.
This kind of minor cold is a piece of cake for him, a level 5 expert Chinese medicine doctor.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods, he just thinks that combining ghosts, gods and medical skills will make healing faster!
Sure enough, early the next morning, Tangtang's laughter woke everyone up.
Liu Xiaojun was really tired after working outside yesterday. He even closed his eyes for a while. When he heard his sister's lively voice, he thought his cold must have healed and he looked so energetic.
I don’t know if it was his medical skills that worked, or the damn “asking the ghost god” that worked, but anyway, the illness was cured.
Before leaving, Liu Huizhen cooked eggs and white flour for the children.
Each of the three people received an egg and a bowl of flour.
Liu Xiaojun slept until noon and didn't get up to eat breakfast in the morning, but the two girls were full.
Only when Liu Huizhen came back to make lunch did Liu Xiaojun reluctantly get out of bed.
The public-private partnership will have to wait until some time after the Chinese New Year, and only after the public-private partnership is completed will Liu Xiaojun go to buy the shop.
These few days before the New Year, I have nothing to do~
Every day I sleep until I wake up naturally, then roast a few rabbits to practice my barbecue skills, and take the melted gold beans to the black market to sell them slowly. All these things take only a few hours.
The rest of the time, I either go fishing or watch other old men fishing. My life is very leisurely.
Liu Huizhen is the busiest person these days. Her sewing machine is almost smoking from making clothes for the children.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, people worship the Kitchen God, and on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, they sweep the house.
Cleaning the house is the easiest day because there are many people in every household and the cleaning is done in a short time.
On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, make tofu.
The 25th is a good day, and all the aunts in the courtyard gather together to make tofu.
On the 26th, it was time to cut meat for the New Year. Except for the poor families who really couldn't afford meat, all other families in the courtyard bought some meat to satisfy their hunger.
Even the stingiest uncle bought a piece of pork ribs!
Stew a plate of pork with vermicelli and add tofu, the taste is so authentic!
A piece of pork ribs, the children ate the meat, and the dog sucked it so hard that it was thrown to the parents to eat.
The third uncle was gnawing on the bone, looking so unsatisfied!
I just feel bad that the ribs are so expensive. Everything is expensive during the Chinese New Year. Even the ribs that usually sell for 80 cents have increased in price to one yuan per pound. Uncle San is so heartbroken!
However, he didn't do anything. Instead, he set up a small stall at the gate of the yard.
Using the red paper and ink he found at school, he began to write couplets for others to earn some extra money.
"One cent a piece, no cheating!" The third uncle was writing on each piece of paper and took the money with a smile.
I made more than one dollar in a blink of an eye, and almost made back the money I spent on the pork ribs.
