Chapter 5 Trivia
"Damn, what are you calling? Don't tell me you don't know about this."
Looking at my surprised look, Liu Haotian couldn't help rolling his eyes and muttered.
At this time, I felt very complicated. I just knew it when I really wanted to tell him, but I was afraid that even I would not believe it if I said this.
I stared at the driver's license and confirmed it again, and it was indeed written on it, so it was absolutely correct.
"Qi Tianchuan, Qi Tianchuan, you are so surprised that you are too big."
I whispered in my heart, and for a moment, I was happy, excited, suspicious, and all kinds of emotions were mixed and chaotic. I really wanted to call him to inquire now, but after thinking about it for a while, I finally endured it.
He handed Liu Haotian the driver's license and told him to put it away. I continued, "Mouse, I really don't know about this. Let's talk about it in detail in the future. By the way, what is Zhao Guoxing, what is he doing now?"
Liu Haotian glanced at me and knew that I was changing the subject, but the tacit understanding between brothers made him not ask too much. He followed my words, "That boy, don't mention it anymore. Now that he is getting rich, the whole family has moved to the county town to live, and I haven't contacted him for a long time."
"Get rich? What does it mean? I said you kid are not burying me around the bush."
I looked at Liu Haotian suspiciously.
Zhao Guoxing is my other childhood friend. He has not been very good at dealing with Liu Haotian since he was a child, but he is quite a bit of affair. He usually plays together. According to Liu Haotian's personality, he will never talk about anyone behind his back.
Liu Haotian gave me a blank look and said, "You are not too passionate, I don't have the time to play around with you. Zhao Guoxing's family did have a chance, and the villagers all know this."
As he said that, he looked back at the two people in the back seat of the car.
There were two aunts sitting behind. The villagers had never seen any good car before. After getting on, they always seemed a little restrained and did not speak. After hearing Liu Haotian's words, they finally couldn't help it.
"You are talking about the boy from the old Zhao family, aren't you?"
said the older woman.
I probably remember that her husband's family had the surname Li. Because they lived far away, their children and nephews were much older than us. They didn't often get in contact with each other, so they were not very familiar with each other. As for the aunt next to me, I didn't even know my name.
In my hometown, I am not big or small, so I naturally cannot know them all.
"Aunt Li, what we are talking about is the old Zhao family at the east end of the village. His boy is named Zhao Guoxing and I am classmates. I have been in another place. I haven't contacted him for a long time. What's wrong with his family?"
I replied casually while driving.
"Hey, that's it. His family is really rich. You just came back and didn't know. Just two months ago, Old Man Zhao went up the mountain to dig up his mother-in-law, but found a large lump of Tai Sui in the mountain and asked him to dig it back."
"That thing is so fleshy, it looks like it's alive, and sometimes it's moving. The villagers run over to see it. At first, no one knows what it is, or if there is an old man in the village judged that it might be Tai Sui."
"At that time, everyone advised them to send this thing back quickly. The old saying goes that you can't make ground on Tai Sui's head, otherwise you will suffer retribution. But I didn't expect that the old Zhao family didn't listen. His boy checked the information online and said that the thing was called Ganoderma lucidum. It was quite precious and belonged to medicinal materials. In the end, a boss from another place bought it."
"It's probably as big as a football player, Tai Sui sold it for a total of 350,000 yuan. Do you think it's been sold? Now their whole family has moved to the county town and bought a store there, planning to do business."
Aunt Li said vividly, and gestured to us while saying that.
"Oh, this is a good thing. I have worked hard for most of my life. It's great to have some industry."
I nodded and said.
Grandma Ding is the local dialect in Northeast China. The scientific name is the common dandelion. This plant also belongs to the traditional Chinese medicine category and is also a wild vegetable. It can be used directly and practically when it has just grown and not yet matured.
Many elderly people in Northeast China like to dig up their mother-in-law during that season, wash them and serve them on the table, and eat them directly with big sauce. It was very fresh. I am still lucky to have this bite.
As for Tai Sui, the scientific name is indeed the Ganoderma lucidum, which is also a Chinese medicinal material, but its value is much more precious than that of mother-in-law Ding Zhen. This thing has a complex growth environment and I have never seen it. I just occasionally dabble in some books. I didn’t expect that Zhao Guoxing and his family would have such luck. You know, this thing is a variety that is hard to find than wild ginseng.
"Tsk tsk, what a good thing?"
When he heard my words, Aunt Li shook her head and said with a sigh, "You don't know yet, the old Zhao family has been retribution."
"What?"
Liu Haotian and I were both shocked.
Liu Haotian looked at Aunt Li suspiciously, obviously not knowing about this, so he hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't talk nonsense, what's wrong with his family?"
"Children's teeth, your aunt is so old, can you still mess with you two?"
Aunt Li glared at Liu Haotian and said, "I just learned about this. I have an uncle and uncle who lives in the county. Yesterday, I visited his house and heard him mention it. Old Zhao and his son had just finished buying the store and had not opened the business yet. They fell ill. They went to major hospitals for examination, but the cause of the disease was not found out. Do you think this was retribution?"
"I heard that Lao Zhao is very sick, and he always talks nonsense, and even suddenly reaches out to hit someone. His old woman is almost beaten to death. Now his family members dare not let him go, locking him in the house all day long, and the business is even more impossible."
"Hey, I have said that Tai Sui cannot move around, but his family just doesn't listen. Look, something happened."
Aunt Li described it in a nagging way. Although it was heard and there was an exaggeration, I felt a little heavier after hearing his words.
Looking at Liu Haotian, I shook my head, "I'll finish my family's affairs first. Maybe his father has a mental illness."
"Well, I thought this kid was rich and flew away. It turned out that something happened at home. Damn, I didn't say anything about such a big deal to call my brother."
Liu Haotian frowned.
"Okay, rat, you're still picking yourself. If something happened to your family, he wouldn't have the heart to notify us. Didn't I notify you when I came back?" I said in a deep voice.
"Do, I just said casually, you don't know what I am."
Liu Haotian waved his hand quickly.
I know this guy is also a person who has a faster-sounding mouth than his brain, so naturally he didn't really blame him.
Aunt Li saw that we had a good relationship with Zhao Guoxing, so she stopped talking. For a moment, the atmosphere in the car seemed dull.
I was in a mess. There was nothing good to hear when I got home. The joy of seeing Liu Haotian was completely wiped out.
...
I had no words all the way, and the car drove to the funeral home.
My father and the others began to arrange various trivial matters with the staff, storing the remains, burning incense, kowtow, burning paper, placing wreaths, and writing elegy couplets. According to the requirements of the funeral home, our family followed suit, and the banknotes were spent like running water.
As soon as the matter was over, it was already afternoon. My father asked everyone to have a meal at the booked restaurant.
Taking advantage of this gap, I secretly found a place where no one was there and broadcast the phone number to Qi Tianchuan.
"What's up?"
Qi Tianchuan answered the phone.
"Why is that car my name?"
I'll go straight to the point.
"Ha, you guy, I just realized that I'm still wondering when you will know. How about it? Are you surprised?" Qi Tianchuan smiled proudly.
"Of course there are surprises, but I don't seem to do anything. You gave me one million yuan, and the money I took was a bit hot. This car..." I said honestly.
“Stop and stop.”
Qi Tianchuan interrupted me directly, "You kid, haven't you kept shouting that I'm stingy? Why do you think it's too much for you now?"
"I have to take the salary I deserve to be at ease. I'm a little uncomfortable with you suddenly being so kind to me."
"If you don't get used to it, just adapt slowly. It's a little kid. It seems like I have a conspiracy. Let me tell you, that car is a benefit for formal employees. If you don't want it for nothing, I can deduct it from your salary in the future, so that I can make more money? If you have any commissions in the future, you can earn it. Don't tell me if you haven't seen them before. Is there any problem? I'll be dead."
Qi Tianchuan shouted angrily.
"Don't."
I quickly called him, "There's another thing, my grandfather is gone."
"I know."
"How do you know?"
"Nonsense, what do I do? The life and death book has long been remembering your grandfather's time. Don't tell me what I'm talking about." Qi Tianchuan said.
I was stunned at the moment, and then I remembered that the notebook could record the life and death of everyone. I had a short time to contact at that time, and later I had a story about the infant evil and cultivation. I didn't study it for a while, but I forgot it.
If you have the chance in the future, you have to go back and check. What is the lifespan of these relatives and friends I am close to? If you think about any solutions, you can do it secretly.
The legendary thing about Sun Houzi's forced death and death book is that I dare not do it, nor is it that great, but it is okay to find a way to do some small moves.
I thought to myself that I would let go of this matter first. Thinking of the serious matter of calling, I said, "I heard from you before that ghosts must practice when they come to the underworld, so that they can be reincarnated as soon as possible, right?"
"Yes, although most people's souls dissipate after death, there are many people who can leave their souls. In addition, those who have sins during their lifetime need to be punished to eliminate karma. Of course, they can't just reincarnate. Do you want to walk the back door for your grandfather?"
Qi Tianchuan heard what I meant and said directly.
"Well, I want my grandfather to be less sinful and find a good family to be reincarnated?"
I nodded subconsciously and asked.
In this world, the family is busy all over the world, but really speaking, all of them are for living people to see, and they are of no use to grandpa, and he has already arrived in the underworld. If you want to help grandpa, you can only ask for help from Qi Tianchuan.
