Chapter 96, Success and fame (please subscribe!)(2/3)
Li Heng happily leaned over and circled around her like a bag.
Tian Rune is the most precious son, and she has been spoiled since she was a child. Seeing him playing like a child, smiles suddenly appeared on his face covered in wind and frost:
, "It's good to come back. It seems like I've gained a little weight, but I'm still thin. You go and take a shower first, and mom will cook for you."
"Oh, OK."
Since he didn't come back a few days before and didn't contact him, Tian Rune thought that his son wouldn't come back this month, so he didn't prepare dinner for him.
The rice is precious these days. She knew how much rice to cook for each meal. She would never get a little extra when the rice was put into the pot, just to save money and exchange it for money.
So, the rice has to be recooked.
Li Heng took a shower very quickly and came out in less than 10 minutes. As for clothes, hi! In addition to the underwear that must be washed immediately, I will talk about it tomorrow.
After wandering around the house, Li Heng asked, "Where is my dear dad? Why didn't you see anyone after this?"
Tian Rune stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, raised her head: "Your father, older sister and second sister went to the cornfield to pick up the corn, and it will probably take half an hour to come back."
Li Heng asked: "Second sister is also at home?"
Tian Rune nodded, "I came back last night and I was almost the same home I arrived at this time."
Li Heng immediately asked: "Have you changed my second sister? Have you ever told you anything special?"
Tian Rune looked confused, "What's the change? Her mouth is moving all day long, and she keeps secretly stuffing rock candy into her mouth. I don't know where this ghost girl got the money?"
Li Heng was happy. My second sister didn’t eat snacks, so is it still my second sister?
She ate until she was old in her previous life and chewed her mouth for a lifetime, but even though she never gained weight, it was a strange thing.
Li Heng found a flashlight from the shrine and asked, "Mom, where are they picking up the corn? I'll pick them up."
Tian Rune said: "Zeng Jiaao."
Li Heng stopped immediately.
It’s not that he is timid, but that Zengjiaao is a famous gloomy place in the villages, and there have been rumors of haunting.
During the war, it was a place where a great landlord named Zeng lived. Later, it was destroyed overnight, and more than 80 tenants died.
I heard from the old man that on the night of August 15, the fires surged into the sky, and there were tragic wailings everywhere in Zengjiao, but no one dared to approach. The brave villagers tried to check the situation, but before they arrived, they were ambushed halfway and shot to death.
Seeing that his son was frightened, Tian Rune smiled gently and said, "Don't worry about them, some neighbors are also picking corn in it, and they will come back together later."
Li Heng still went, called a flashlight and shouted that he was careless. He walked about three miles of mountain road with a hatchet in his hands.
When it was almost here, Zhang Zhiyong pointed to a large ancient tree in front of him and said:
"If there is a female ghost in red standing on the top of the tree, mom! I will turn around immediately and leave."
Li Heng was shocked by this wilderness and kicked him:
"Can you say something human, and I will tie you up on the tree?"
Zhang Zhiyong smiled, but his eyes were still on the ancient tree. "My second uncle walked by here three years ago and said that there was a female ghost in red standing on it. She also made a face at him."
Li Heng looked up: "Your second uncle really said that?"
Zhang Zhiyong said: "I don't know whether it is true or not. He doesn't dare to go here anymore, he will take a detour during the day."
In this valley, there is no village in front and no shop in the back. There is no people within three miles. Li Heng is a little scared, "I am not stupid, you go first."
Zhang Zhiyong was also a little scared and did not move: "Take a fist."
Li Heng said: "What if there is one more hand when playing rock-scissors?"
Zhang Zhiyong took a step back: "Damn you uncle! You said I'm running away again."
Li Heng took the flashlight and took pictures everywhere, fearing that there was something unclean on the treetop. After a while, he walked forward with his teeth:
"I'm afraid of eggs. I haven't eaten yet tonight, so I just happened to catch one and eat it."
That's it, when the two passed by the ancient tree, a chill rushed to the sky's spiritual cover, and their legs almost couldn't move.
Fortunately, at this time, a voice came from the mountain valley, "Li Heng? Zhang Zhiyong?"
"Second sister, it's me." Li Heng happily shook the flashlight.
Li Lan came over with a basket, "What are you two doing here?"
Li Heng asked back: "Why are you the only one? What about my dad and my elder sister?"
"Oh, they are still busy in the corn field. There are too many corns and I can't carry them at one time. I'll send a load back first." Li Lan replied.
Zhang Zhiyong lost his voice: "Just, you dare to pass here alone?"
Li Lan glanced at him with contemptuous eyes, "As long as you are bad enough, the ghost is afraid of you. You say yes, the female ghost in red."
Li Heng and Zhang Zhiyong instinctively turned their heads together to check behind them.
Li Lan put the basket on the ground and said to the two cowards: "Rumors are all psychological effects, so there is no need to be afraid.
Two years ago, the cow at home did not go home, so my mother accompanied my father to the county to see a doctor. I searched for an hour in the mountains and fields alone, and finally took the cow home, but there was no ghost."
Zhang Zhiyong's lips were trembling and he didn't know what to say, so he had to give him a thumbs up: "You're awesome!"
With the second sister, the three of them traveled back and forth twice smoothly.
In the middle, Li Heng asked about his second sister about the novel.
Li Lan said: "This is your glory, you have to tell your parents."
It's around 9 p.m.
The Li family gathered together, including Li Jianguo, Tian Rune, Li Yan and Li Lan.
Tian Rune put the hoe on the threshold and asked her son: "Manzai, what exactly is it that I have to call my family over?
Tell me quickly, I'm going to go to the field to see the water later."
Li Heng said happily: "Of course it is a big event, a big happy event."
While peeling the corn crust, Li Jianguo asked, "Happy event? Have you received a special scholarship?"
He knew his son's grades and used to receive first-class scholarships.
If it goes up a little further, it will be a great joy for students.
Li Heng replied: "I've received a special scholarship, but that's not a happy event."
Then, under the gaze of his parents and his two sisters, he vomited out word by word:
"Dad, mom, I've written novels and become a writer. I earned 3,800 yuan in royalties."
Hearing that, Tian Rune reached out to touch her son's forehead, stood up and took a hoe and was about to walk out:
"Go to bed early, you have everything in your dreams. Your dad often dreams that he is in good health and can go to the capital to climb the Great Wall."
Li Jianguo smiled awkwardly. The poor scene at home is difficult to go to the capital, let alone go to the capital.
When Li Heng saw that the two old people didn't believe it, he would even use his ultimate move.
I saw him take out 3,800 yuan from his schoolbag and put it on the table: "Mom, count, 3,800 yuan, a penny is not a penny."
Sure enough, the power of cash is the most shocking and convincing.
Tian Rune was stunned for a full ten seconds, then hurriedly closed the door, then walked over and picked up the money, and began to count them one by one.
Seeing this, Li Jianguo peeled the corn, moved the small stool under his butt, and moved it closer.
After a while, Tian Rune finished counting, but the person also fell silent.
Her husband Li Jianguo asked her, "How many?"
Tian Rune handed him the money, "3800."
Li Jianguo took the money and weighed it. He didn't count it, and put it back on the table. He was also silent for a while before asking: "Is this true?"
Li Heng took out the Harvest magazine and newspaper he bought and placed it in front of the two old people. Facts are better than words.
It took a long time to filter the newspaper, and then Tian Rune asked, "Who else can prove it besides money?"
Li Heng was so distressed, "Mom, can't you trust your son?"
Tian Rune said: "It's not that I don't believe it. My son is still a few days away from turning 18."
Li Heng looked at his second sister.
Unexpectedly, Li Lan said it was Wang Bang, "What I said is true. I have contacted their English teacher."
Li Heng was full of question marks, "Hmm???"
Li Lan said to herself: "Last time he told me that he was a writer, and I didn't have a good rest for a week, so I went to No. 1 Middle School on the second weekend.
I happened to see my brother and his English teacher eating fried noodles with eggs at the stall on the left side of the school gate, and they went back to the third floor together."
Li Heng was speechless, "Why don't you come and eat fried egg noodles together?"
Li Lan replied to his meaningful look.
Li Heng stopped asking for a moment and was sad alone next to him. Even if I was a writer and made money, she still thought I was a woman.
When the second sister testified, the two old people had to believe it even if they didn't believe it. Li Jianguo read the newspaper news again and asked later:
