Chapter 106 Chapter 23 The Bricklayer's Quirk

"It's not a ghost?" The person who came was obviously disappointed, "Isn't there no way? My child can't be saved?" His eyes were red, and he sat down on the spot in disbelief, rubbing his hands on his pants, It seems to be anxious about losing something important. "It's not a ghost, what is that?" I asked Grandpa. Grandpa said: "I don't know either. It's not a ghost anyway. I'm sure. You can't know what it is until you go there and see it." Hearing what grandpa said, the man immediately got up, grabbed his hand and begged, "Uncle, please go and have a look at my house. I know you are good at catching ghosts, but you can go and see if you are not a ghost." Well, if a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, I must give me some hope. Otherwise, my two children can only wait to die, please."

Grandpa looked troubled.Grandpa ran back and forth between Hongjiaduan and Huamei Village many times because of the ghost prostitute, and he really needed to take a good rest.Besides, after half a month, I have to beware of the appearance of ghost prostitutes, and then I have to concentrate on dealing with ghost prostitutes. I saw what Grandpa was thinking, and persuaded the man, "This man came from a neighboring county, which shows that the situation is critical. Anyway, the ghost prostitute will have to wait for a while. We can go to him first, and at the same time, we can look at the ancient books. In the second half, the more you know about ghost prostitutes, the better your chances of winning."

In fact, reading ancient books is not the same as reading them anywhere?But I really have no words to persuade grandpa, so I have to say this. The man looked at me gratefully, and nodded again and again to Grandpa. Grandpa saw me say this, thought for a while, and said, "Okay. I promise to go and see with you, but we have to go and go back quickly. There are still many things waiting for me to do at home." Many times my grandpa accommodates me, as long as I speak, it seems difficult for him to say nothing.Later, my grandfather suffered from mild tuberculosis because of smoking too much. Every time I ate at my grandfather's house, my mother would prepare two pairs of chopsticks for my grandfather.Put a pair of chopsticks into the bowl of grandpa, and then eat with another pair of chopsticks, so as to prevent the chopsticks of grandpa from directly touching the dishes on the table and prevent the virus from infecting us.

I feel that my mother's actions somewhat hurt grandpa's heart, and I feel very sorry for grandpa.My mother said, this is for the health of your child. Adults have strong resistance, and it is not good for children to get infected.Grandpa immediately smiled and said, this is good, Liangzi, do you know that this is called "public chopsticks".He also told me about the origin of the title "public chopsticks". Grandpa is such a humble person at home, never asking for anything, and never complaining about anything. When the man saw that his grandfather agreed to visit his place, he was so happy that his siblings didn't know where to put them. He touched the clothes countless times with both hands, and smiled silly.One of his hands touched the pocket of his jacket, which was bulging inside.He immediately remembered, and hurriedly took out the cigarette inside and lit it for grandpa: "Hey, hey, I almost forgot that I still have a cigarette on me. I should have smoked it for you long ago. Seeing my memory, I forgot everything in a hurry .”

Grandpa took a sip and said, "I haven't smoked this brand of cigarettes yet. It tastes so good!" That's how grandpa is, when it comes to cigarettes, he gets excited. The man seemed to be still in a daze, and it took him a long time to hear what Grandpa said, and he stammered, "Ah? What did you just say?" Grandpa smiled and said, "Don't be so happy. I promised to go, but I'm not sure I can help you." "Hey, I see what you said. There must be no problem if you go, I believe you." The man smiled flatteringly at Grandpa.He took out another cigarette and handed it to me.I saw that his head was really hot. I am still a junior high school student, how can I smoke.

I said, "I'm a student and I don't smoke." The man was taken aback for a moment, as if he had just realized that I was a teenager. He quickly waved his hands in embarrassment and said, "Look, I'm so confused. How can I give you cigarettes? You're still a student." He put the cigarette back in his pocket, rubbed his hands together and asked, "When are we going to leave?" "The sooner the better." Grandpa said, "Let's go after dinner. You can have a meal at my house." The man said, "How can you be so embarrassing." Although he said so, there was no embarrassment in his tone, and he smiled so that his eyes narrowed.We turned around and entered the room, and he followed us in, saying in a long-winded manner: "That's so embarrassing, it's really disturbing."

At the dinner table, he introduced himself as Hao Jianfang, a bricklayer in a certain county.It seems that when his parents gave birth to him, they expected that this son was born to be a bricklayer. When eating vegetables, he picks and chooses from the bowl, only chooses lean meat to eat, and turns all the peppers to one side.He also eats a lot. After eating five bowls of rice in a row, he scraped off all the scorched rice at the bottom of the pot.After eating, I also used chopsticks to pick up a few rice grains stuck in the bowl to my mouth one by one. Grandpa couldn't see it, and said: "Building a house, there is still some food to eat. If it is not enough, I will ask my wife to cook more."

"Enough is enough," he said, waving his chopsticks. "I seldom eat on the way from my home to your county. My wife doesn't make many pancakes for me, and they are gone halfway through." "Can we buy something to eat on the way." Grandpa said.I thought to myself that his financial conditions might not be good. "It's a little bit less expensive," he said. Grandma praised him and said, "You are a man who can manage the house. My wife can save some money by smoking less cigarettes, but he just can't quit. If only he was as thrifty as you."

After dinner, it was a little dark.Jianfang drank a cup of hot tea and asked his grandfather, "Shall we go now?" Grandpa said: "Okay." Grandpa asked me if I would go, and I said go. Jianfang said, "Bring a flashlight, it's hard to walk at night." "Walking?" I asked in surprise.If I had to walk, I wouldn't want to go.Although I don't know how far it is from neighboring counties, but a good meal is indispensable.I thought Jianfang would call us a car to take us there, but I didn't expect this person to be so stingy. Grandpa also showed embarrassment: "I'm old, and I'm afraid I'll lie down when I get to your place after walking so much. Can you ask a car to drive there? It's okay that the road is short, but it's too far away from you. It's too far away tomorrow morning. can't get there."

Jianfang was stunned for a while, and said: "Call a car? I came here on foot, and it's not difficult to walk. But if you want to call a car, I'll call one. Do you care about the little money to save my child?" ,Am I right?" I was dissatisfied and said deliberately: "I won't go on foot, or we can call a car ourselves." He smiled and said, "Let me call a car. It's not good. I have to ask you to help me after dinner at your house."
