Chapter 249 Chapter 16 Worship Chicken as Brother

"Do you have chickens at home?" Grandpa entered the topic directly as soon as he entered the door. "Yes, yes." The old lady quickly agreed.She raised her finger and pointed to a corner of the main room, and said, "There is a chicken coop over there, do you see it?" The few of us stretched our necks and looked in the direction the old lady pointed. It was pitch black and we couldn't see anything. "You young people can't see it? I can still see it when I'm so old. Really, people's eyes are getting worse and worse nowadays." The old lady walked towards the dark corner while talking.Her hands were still hanging on the insteps of her feet, and there was really no difference between walking and crawling.

She was right.The overall visual acuity level of people's eyes is indeed getting worse day by day.More than ten years ago, if you saw someone wearing glasses, you would have thought that person was a serious intellectual, and a feeling of awe would suddenly rise in your heart.Now, the vast majority of people who come out of school wear glasses, and some children have already worn glasses when they are only ten years old. At that time, this phenomenon was almost impossible to happen in reality. I still remember that when I was standing in front of the house looking for Grandpa on the road, Grandpa had already seen me and waved and shouted: "Liangzi, Liangzi!"

Sometimes I even wonder whether the overall vision of human beings has declined since their generation. The old lady went to a dark corner, half of her body was hidden in the darkness, and I could only see her head and shoulders which were still clear.She reached into the dark corner and grabbed something and shook it, and immediately there was a cock crowing. The clucking and clucking of the chickens was ringing in my ears.They may be complaining that the old lady disturbed their sleep, and they are losing their temper. "Sure enough, there are chickens." Wen Sazi pouted, looking unbelievable.

The young woman said with a smile: "Grandma doesn't go out often, and she remembers everything in the house in her heart. Not to mention the chicken coop, even if an embroidery needle is missing, she can stay in this room with her eyes closed." Found it. This house is very familiar with her." The young woman could not hide her pride in her words. I was surprised that she said "the house is very familiar with her", but did not say "she is very familiar with this house", as if the house is a person who can communicate with the old lady. But on second thought, as many people get older, the range of walking is getting smaller and smaller.In the end, he was only confined to the surroundings of his own house, and regarded the house he lived in as a bunker of life, and never left it.They can indeed be familiar with every inch of the house, where there is a small hole, where there is a crack, whether the small hole is bigger than yesterday, and whether the crack is more extended than yesterday.They can all do it well.They don't tell others about it, but they keep these subtle changes in mind.

They, and their house, share these secrets.They and their house are like tacit partners, quietly walking through their lives. Therefore, it is also reasonable for young women to say that "the house knows her very well".Perhaps, she also viewed the old lady and this old house in the same way. The old lady came out from a dark corner and complained: "My grandson is good at everything else, but nothing is good. If he doesn't urinate during the day, it's useless to tease him to want him to urinate. At night, he draws a map on the bed sheet." .I have to change the sheets every day, so I don’t have to worry about washing them, but at night I can’t even find a quick-drying place.”

Our dialect here is somewhat different from Mandarin in terms of word usage.In Mandarin, we use "屙" and "料" respectively when talking about urinating and defecating, but the dialect here refers to the action of urinating and defecating collectively as "屙".Also, in Mandarin, we say "eat" and "drink water", but in the dialect here we say "eat" and "eat tea".When leaving others to sit at home for a while, say: "Let's go after tea!" Of course, some people use these words separately as in Mandarin.But people of the older generation are used to the way words are used in the dialect and cannot change it.For example, I call my grandfather "Grandpa". Although he also knows the word "Grandpa", if I want to call him "Grandpa", he will definitely not get used to it for a while.

After hearing what the old lady said, the grandfather smiled and said: "My nephew was like this when he was a child. You take your grandson out. I'll give him a break. It will be fine in the future." The young woman hurried into the house and took out the child. "Get a liter of rice, put the rice in a rice measuring device, and put three incense sticks on it." Grandpa ordered, "Take a clean cloth." The young woman gave the child to Wen Sazi to hold, and prepared everything according to the grandfather's instructions. Grandpa lit the incense and walked towards the dark corner.With the help of the twilight of the incense, I saw a chicken coop with a fence.Grandpa put the incense next to the chicken coop, and then put a piece of cloth behind the incense.

"You put the child on this piece of cloth." Grandpa said. The young woman quickly took the child from Wen Sazi and walked in front of Bu. Grandpa assists the young women in placing the baby on the cloth. "Bend the child's feet and make a kneeling posture. Okay, okay, you don't need to kneel, just have a posture." Grandpa straightened the cloth on the ground while instructing her how to adjust the child's posture . The little child was played by his mother like this, but he didn't fully wake up, he just kicked his chubby legs in a daze, and yawned a long time.

"This child sleeps so soundly." The old lady looked at her grandson with loving eyes. Finally got the child's pose right.The grandfather said to the child's mother: "Help him up, and keep this posture and don't move. Then I say something and you read it." The child's mother looked at grandpa seriously and nodded. Grandpa smiled: "You don't need to be so serious. It doesn't matter if you read it wrong, just repeat it again. It's nothing to do with such a trivial matter. Don't be nervous." The child's mother nodded again. Grandpa began to read: "Brother Jiliji, I beg you to be a brother. I will help you during the day, and you will help me at night."

The child's mother finished reading sentence by sentence. Suddenly, the smoke from the incense swayed violently, as if someone blew on the incense.There was a commotion among the chickens.
