our supernatural life
Chapter 42 Grandma Died
Mai Mai has never felt that life is so difficult.
On the surface, all the changes in his life are just a result of the addition of Ye Ding in the family.I still go to work in the store during the day, and go home to cook as usual at night.The difference is that Shao Jing stays in the store for a moment now, and it becomes a living advertisement for the store. Quite a few nympho girls come to buy something just to get a few more glances at him.Gui Zi'er was troubled by her yin and yang head for a few days, and then the lawsuit she submitted was accepted by the Celestial Masters Association. She was happy again, made an extra-large chef's hat, stuffed her hair in it, and happily went to make snacks up.Except for the new store, all renovations have been stopped, the Chinese and Western snacks are operating well, and the owner is a long-time worker, enjoying himself.
However, in these days of whitewashing peace, Mai Mai is getting restless.Shao Jing dangles in front of his eyes every day, Mai Mai still remembers what they have done and said, he is familiar with Shao Jing's various habits of speech, behavior, and even Shao Jing's body, but none of this belongs to him in the end .Sometimes he really wants to drive Shao Jing out, if he wants to get out, get out quickly, get out of the way, out of sight, out of mind!It's the most annoying thing to be friends after breaking up!
But sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel cold and lack of warmth around me.He is a person with rich emotions, but every time he only pays but gets nothing. Even the Pacific Ocean will have its water source dry up, not to mention that he is not the Pacific Ocean, at best it is just a bathtub.
What did Shao Jing think?Mai felt that he couldn't see through him.Shao Jing didn't talk much before, but now he is even more silent.Zhou Qi stopped coming, and sometimes he couldn't speak a word for a whole day.When Mai Mai was busy going in and out of the store, he sometimes felt that Shao Jing was looking at him, but when he followed him, Shao Jing immediately turned his eyes away.Whenever this happens, Mai Mai can't wait to go up and kick him--what are you looking at!If you feel sorry for making a mistake, then I don't need your apology!If you are thinking about why you saw the wrong person, then go see an ophthalmologist yourself!
In this inexplicable irritability, the weather gradually became warmer.The business in the store was still good, and Mai Mai went to Nanshan Market to buy a large pot of asparagus bamboo and a few small pots of spider plants to decorate the store.Jinbihuanghuang has never died again, and Xiaomai feels that the matter is probably over, because Shao Jing has not been under 24-hour personal protection recently, so it must be all right.
At noon on Saturday, Shao Jing went to find Zhou Qi. Mai Mai was busy at 11:30 and was about to sit down and take a breath when her cell phone rang, and it was Shi Chunyuan's wife who called: "Brother Chun—Auntie, let's go!" It's..."
Wheat was stunned.Grandma's birthday is in May, and he originally thought of going to the village to celebrate grandma's birthday, but...
"Brother Chun? What's the matter with you? Can you come back? My aunt has to be buried quickly."
"I'll be right back!" Mai Mai hung up the phone, held back tears and told Gui Zi'er what happened in the store, went out, took a taxi, and drove home.According to village rules, grandma's funeral is a big deal, but since grandma has no son, relatives will not be willing to pay for it, and if the funeral is not done decently, people will think that they will not be blessed in the next life.Mai Mai now has tens of thousands of yuan in his hand, and he originally planned to use it to pay back Shao Jing, but now it seems that he can't do it.
When the car arrived downstairs, Mai Mai paid the fare and ran upstairs, only to see a young man knocking on the door of his house, he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Who are you looking for?"
As soon as the young man turned his head, Mai Mai immediately knew the identity of this person - he must be a relative of Shao Jing, and his appearance was five or six points similar to Shao Jing, especially the way he raised his chin to look at people, it was so vivid: "You --Is it Mr. Mai Qiao? My name is Zhang Jingquan."
Mai Mai nodded: "Shao Jing—I mean Zhang Jingcun, he's not at home."
"I know." Zhang Jingquan followed Mai into the door, "I just want to talk to Mr. Mai, it's fine if he's not here."
Mai Mai really doesn't have the time and thought to talk to him now: "Mr. Zhang, I have something to go out immediately. If you don't have anything important, can you later--"
Zhang Jingquan interrupted him: "I'm sorry, my time is also very precious. It's rare to come to Binhai once. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to talk to Mr. Mai again in the future."
Mai Mai was very upset, but seeing that Zhang Jingquan was Shao Jing's younger brother, she sat down patiently: "What's the matter, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Jingquan looked him up and down a few times, and Xiaomai felt that his gaze was piercing like a small knife, and he waited until he had had enough of looking up and down before saying, "I heard you are my elder brother's boyfriend?"
Mai Mai felt uncomfortable, and shook her head: "No."
A disdainful smile emerged from the corner of Zhang Jingquan's mouth: "Why? Don't Mr. Mai dare to admit it?"
Mai Mai said angrily: "What dare not admit it? It's just that you are really wrong. I am no longer Shao Jing's boyfriend." When he said this, he felt really uncomfortable.For a long time, Shao Jing did not expressly say the word of breaking up, nor did he move out, so the two people always seem to have a little connection, but now saying this sentence in front of Shao Jing's family seems to cut off the last point between the two. Contact, it really doesn't matter anymore.
Zhang Jingquan obviously didn't think that Mai was telling the truth, so he sneered: "Really? But how did I hear that my elder brother still has a property in Mr. Mai's name? Could it be a breakup fee?"
The wheat has been suppressed for a long time, and then it rises.Zhang Jingquan's condescending attitude was even more obvious than when Shao Jing first came, and with undisguised disgust and contempt, it aroused all of Mai's anger.Mai Mai stood up straight away: "Mr. Zhang, regarding the house, there is indeed a property in my name now, but we are ready to change the property owner. If Mr. Zhang came to ask about the house, why not ask your elder brother."
Zhang Jingquan sat there with his legs crossed, looking at him coldly: "It's none of my business if he wants to give Zhang Jingcun's house to anyone."
Mai Mai became angry: "Then what do you want to say after talking nonsense for a long time? I don't have that much time to spend with you! If you have something to say, please feel free. I'm going out."
Zhang Jingquan had never been told nonsense in his life.The Zhang family’s education is to cherish words like gold, and the brothers are all taciturn people. It was the first time they were denounced for talking nonsense. Just tell me, how much does it cost to break up? If the house is not enough, our Zhang family can give you some more."
Mai Mai was stunned for a moment, and then the fire went straight to the top of his head. He was about to point to the door and tell Zhang Jingquan to go out, when Shao Jing opened the door and came in. Seeing this posture, he frowned slightly: "Jingquan? Why did you come here? And Why did you come home suddenly? Didn't you tell you not to run around? "
Mai Mai spit at him with anger: "Your brother is here to pay me for the breakup fee! Shao Jing, I have already given you the real estate certificate of the store in the east. When are you going to change the name? Hurry up, it's over!" Name, move out quickly, don’t make your family think I’m a stalker!”
Shao Jing's eyebrows twitched immediately: "Jingquan, what did you say?"
Zhang Jingquan stood up and sneered: "What did I say? Zhang Jingcun, if grandpa had something to say, do you think I would take care of your affairs? Grandpa has already come to Binhai, and I heard that you have started to learn to play with men here. Let me Come and get to know each other."
Without saying a word, Shao Jing pointed at the door and said, "Get lost!"
Zhang Jingquan crossed his arms and said, "Can I bring this to Grandpa?"
Shao Jing kicked the sofa behind him: "Get lost!"
Zhang Jingquan sneered, opened the door and left without saying anything.Shao Jing took a deep breath, turned around and said to Mai Mai: "Don't pay attention to him, just treat him as a fart!"
Mai Mai turned around and went back to the house to pack a few changes of clothes, and left with her bag.Shao Jing turned to stop him: "Where are you going? Even if Jing Quan said something unpleasant, you don't have to throw all the fire on me, do you?"
Mai Mai pushed him hard: "Go away! I want to go back to the village to attend grandma's funeral!"
Shao Jing was taken aback, and then grabbed his wrist: "Grandma—gone?"
Mai suppressed tears and nodded.Although he was mentally prepared after they returned to the village last time, he didn't expect grandma to fail to celebrate her birthday...
Shao Jing held him in his arms and patted him lightly: "I'll go with you."
Mai Mai nodded with tears streaming down his face, Shao Jing didn't even pack his things, and picked up the small bag in his hand: "Let's go, I'll drive, it's faster than taking a long-distance bus."
When Mai Mai walked out the door, she suddenly remembered: "Ye Ding--"
Shao Jing thought for a while: "I'll call Zhou Qi and ask him to take care of her for two days. Don't worry about it, we'll go see grandma."
When an old man like grandma dies, he is called Baixi in the village.The younger generations will also embroider a little red on the white gauze wrapped around their arms to show the joy of the end of life.Grandma didn't have a son, so Mai came to preside over the funeral. In fact, it mainly entertained people who came to express their condolences.Grandma’s coffin had been prepared by herself a few years ago, and when Mai arrived, relatives had already put on the shroud for grandma. The old man was lying quietly, but his brows were not stretched, as if he still had some unfinished business on his mind.Crying, Mai Mai put grandma into the coffin with her own hands, and then saw that the boards were nailed on, and the banquet began outside.Mai Mai is not in the mood to eat, but she also wants to accompany her elders, busying herself with work and keeping her feet on the ground.According to the rules, the running water banquet should be eaten until tomorrow morning, and then the coffin will be sent to the cemetery, and another round of banquets will be arranged after returning, and the funeral will not be considered over.
Lights were turned on all around the yard, and it was brightly illuminated, and there were people under the temporary shed.Listening to the bustling voice, Mai Mai felt in a daze that grandma was not lying in the coffin, and would come out to greet everyone in a while.He rubbed his eyes, wiped back the tears that were about to come out, and was about to go out to greet him again, when he suddenly saw Shi Lanlan standing against the window, waving at him.Mai Mai walked over and patted her head: "Lan Lan, why didn't you go to eat?"
Shi Lanlan tiptoed to his ear: "Uncle, I have something to tell you."
Mai Mai was pulled to the back of the yard by her: "What is so mysterious?"
Shi Lanlan hesitated for a moment: "Uncle, on the day Tai Auntie died, there seemed to be someone in her family."
Mai Mai was stunned for a moment: "There is someone? What kind of person?"
Shi Lanlan shook her head: "I didn't see it. On the night when my aunt died, it was after seven o'clock. My mother steamed egg custard and told me to send a bowl to my aunt. When I went over with the bowl, I heard Mrs. The aunt’s voice seemed to be angry with someone, but I couldn’t hear what she said. The door was closed at the time, so I knocked on the door and waited for my aunt to come out to open the door. As a result, no one opened the door for a long time, and then I I heard my aunt suddenly yelled, and then there seemed to be a man's voice. I thought it was a thief, so I called out loudly. As a result, my mother and uncle—my new father—run up and kicked the door open, and saw Mrs. My aunt lay on the ground and didn't move. But there was no one else in the room. At first I thought I had heard wrong, because no one moved anything in the aunt's house, so it must not be a thief. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I didn't hear Wrong, there must be a man's voice, and even if I heard this wrong, I must have heard the aunt talking to someone, and the aunt seems very angry, as if she is swearing!"
Mai Mai frowned tightly: "Then think about it, what did Grand Auntie say at that time?"
Shi Lanlan shook her head straight: "I really didn't hear clearly, my great aunt spoke so fast at that time, I heard her voice changed, I've never heard her speak like that - by the way, I seem to have heard her say bad conscience, He also said that he was useless, like these few sentences, I could barely understand these two sentences."
Wheat is puzzled.Who is grandma scolding?From this point of view, could it be that grandma was too excited because she was angry--what bastard made grandma mad!
Shi Lanlan said in a low voice: "Actually, I suspect that it's someone from the village. Because my aunt scolded him for being worthless, he must be someone I know. Maybe some of my family went to my aunt's house to steal things, so I was scolded by my aunt." , He didn’t dare to steal any more when he heard me call someone.”
Mai Mai felt that what he said made sense, and became furious: "Who would do such a thing? He even stole it to grandma's house!"
Shi Lanlan shook her head: "Unfortunately, I didn't recognize whose voice it was."
Mai Mai nodded: "Okay, I see. I must find out about this matter, you should go back first."
Shi Lanlan left.Mai Mai was not in the mood to entertain guests anymore, so she beckoned Shao Jing into the room, and told him what Shi Lanlan had just said.Shao Jing frowned: "Thief? It's also possible. Have you checked grandma's things?"
One sentence reminded Mai, and the two began to rummaging through boxes and boxes.Grandma has always been frugal, and she doesn't have many things, so she quickly checked them out.The few expensive clothes Mai Mai bought for her were still new. They were carefully folded and placed in the closet. A passbook was pressed under the clothes. There was nearly 1 yuan on it, which was saved by grandma. The pencil says: The password is Brother Chun's birthday.
Holding the passbook, Maimai burst into tears again.Shao Jing stroked his hair and hugged him in his arms.Mai Mai wiped her tears and said, "There is nothing missing."
Shao Jing pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "One thing is missing. That black iron black gold knife."
When he said that, Wheat also found out.It turned out that the knife was in a small wooden box next to grandma's bed, but they had seen it just now, and there were some sundries in the box, but there was no such knife.
"Could grandma put the knife somewhere else?"
"Look again."
The house was not big, so there was really nothing to dig through, so the two quickly searched again, and there was indeed no sign of the knife.Mai guessed: "Stolen?"
Shao Jing shook his head: "For those who don't know how to do it, that thing is a broken knife, not as sharp as a fruit knife, who would steal that?" He pondered for a while, and finally said, "Actually, I have an idea-- "
"Say it!" Maimai was anxious because of his hesitation.
"I think your father may not be dead."
Mai Mai was completely shocked by him: "My dad is not dead? You, why do you think so?"
Shao Jing said with certainty: "I don't think he's dead, and I'm afraid the man Shi Lanlan heard is your father."
"You are talking nonsense!" Mai Mai didn't believe it at all, "My dad is not dead, where has he been all these years? Why is there no news? Well, even if he didn't hear from him before, now that he is back, grandma passed away again, He hasn't shown up yet? How is it possible!"
Shao Jing snorted: "How is that impossible? You, and grandma, just think too well of people. I heard from grandma that your father disappeared after your grandpa's family went bankrupt, right?"
"You say my dad is avoiding debts?" Mai Mai was a little angry, "Okay, even if he doesn't want to take on those debts, what about grandma? Grandma is his own mother, and I am his own son, so he doesn't care?"
Shao Jing sneered: "That's why I said you always think too much about people. What's wrong with your mother? What's wrong with your son? The son can be regenerated, and your mother—isn't your mother and other relatives raising it? "
Mai Mai became more and more angry: "You are talking nonsense! Well, even if he was avoiding debts at the time, then he has no debts now, why hasn't he come back?"
"He's back, and he took away the black iron black gold knife. Didn't Shi Lanlan hear that grandma was very angry at that time? I'm afraid she was scolding her son for being heartless, throwing away his wife, son, and mother, scolding him for being worthless and not even in debt. Don't have the guts to take it."
"You--" Mai Mai wanted to refute, but felt that there was no way to refute, because what Shao Jing said was unbelievable, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, "Then what is he doing with the knife?"
"Did you forget that your father's life is not long? Maybe he came back to find a knife to prolong his life."
"My grandma has carved it for him once before."
"Didn't you engrave it once?"
Mai Mai was speechless again, and it took him a long time before he reluctantly said, "Anyway, it's impossible!"
Shao Jing said, "I have another idea."
Mai Mai almost roared: "What else do you think!"
"I suspect that the disappearance of the lifeline in your hand has something to do with your father."
"It has something to do with it. Didn't we fight mandrills for this matter?"
Shao Jing shook his head: "No, I thought that way at that time because--because I thought you were Mobai, I thought you were only 30 years old by fate, and your father just met something that triggered the curse of the previous life, and the fate line was only [-] years old. Disappeared. But you are not Mobai, then--" Shao Jing stopped suddenly, staring straight at Mai, with a look of fear in his eyes.
Mai Mai had never seen Shao Jing afraid of anything before, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Shao Jing's lips moved, as if he had something to say.Mai Mai asked: "What's wrong with you? Talk!"
Shao Jing took a step back, leaned against the wall as if he could no longer stand, and said slowly: "If you are not Mo Bai, then your lifeline is so short, how long can you live?"
Wheat was stunned...
On the surface, all the changes in his life are just a result of the addition of Ye Ding in the family.I still go to work in the store during the day, and go home to cook as usual at night.The difference is that Shao Jing stays in the store for a moment now, and it becomes a living advertisement for the store.

Shi Lanlan said in a low voice: "Actually, I suspect that it's someone from the village. Because my aunt scolded him for being worthless, he must be someone I know. Maybe some of my family went to my aunt's house to steal things, so I was scolded by my aunt." , He didn’t dare to steal any more when he heard me call someone.”
Mai Mai felt that what he said made sense, and became furious: "Who would do such a thing? He even stole it to grandma's house!"
Shi Lanlan shook her head: "Unfortunately, I didn't recognize whose voice it was."
Mai Mai nodded: "Okay, I see. I must find out about this matter, you should go back first."
Shi Lanlan left.Mai Mai was not in the mood to entertain guests anymore, so she beckoned Shao Jing into the room, and told him what Shi Lanlan had just said.Shao Jing frowned: "Thief? It's also possible. Have you checked grandma's things?"
One sentence reminded Mai, and the two began to rummaging through boxes and boxes.Grandma has always been frugal, and she doesn't have many things, so she quickly checked them out.The few expensive clothes Mai Mai bought for her were still new. They were carefully folded and placed in the closet. A passbook was pressed under the clothes. There was nearly 1 yuan on it, which was saved by grandma. The pencil says: The password is Brother Chun's birthday.
Holding the passbook, Maimai burst into tears again.Shao Jing stroked his hair and hugged him in his arms.Mai Mai wiped her tears and said, "There is nothing missing."
Shao Jing pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "One thing is missing. That black iron black gold knife."
When he said that, Wheat also found out.It turned out that the knife was in a small wooden box next to grandma's bed, but they had seen it just now, and there were some sundries in the box, but there was no such knife.
"Could grandma put the knife somewhere else?"
"Look again."
The house was not big, so there was really nothing to dig through, so the two quickly searched again, and there was indeed no sign of the knife.Mai guessed: "Stolen?"
Shao Jing shook his head: "For those who don't know how to do it, that thing is a broken knife, not as sharp as a fruit knife, who would steal that?" He pondered for a while, and finally said, "Actually, I have an idea-- "
"Say it!" Maimai was anxious because of his hesitation.
"I think your father may not be dead."
Mai Mai was completely shocked by him: "My dad is not dead? You, why do you think so?"
Shao Jing said with certainty: "I don't think he's dead, and I'm afraid the man Shi Lanlan heard is your father."
"You are talking nonsense!" Mai Mai didn't believe it at all, "My dad is not dead, where has he been all these years? Why is there no news? Well, even if he didn't hear from him before, now that he is back, grandma passed away again, He hasn't shown up yet? How is it possible!"
Shao Jing snorted: "How is that impossible? You, and grandma, just think too well of people. I heard from grandma that your father disappeared after your grandpa's family went bankrupt, right?"
"You say my dad is avoiding debts?" Mai Mai was a little angry, "Okay, even if he doesn't want to take on those debts, what about grandma? Grandma is his own mother, and I am his own son, so he doesn't care?"
Shao Jing sneered: "That's why I said you always think too much about people. What's wrong with your mother? What's wrong with your son? The son can be regenerated, and your mother—isn't your mother and other relatives raising it? "
Mai Mai became more and more angry: "You are talking nonsense! Well, even if he was avoiding debts at the time, then he has no debts now, why hasn't he come back?"
"He's back, and he took away the black iron black gold knife. Didn't Shi Lanlan hear that grandma was very angry at that time? I'm afraid she was scolding her son for being heartless, throwing away his wife, son, and mother, scolding him for being worthless and not even in debt. Don't have the guts to take it."
"You--" Mai Mai wanted to refute, but felt that there was no way to refute, because what Shao Jing said was unbelievable, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, "Then what is he doing with the knife?"
"Did you forget that your father's life is not long? Maybe he came back to find a knife to prolong his life."
"My grandma has carved it for him once before."
"Didn't you engrave it once?"
Mai Mai was speechless again, and it took him a long time before he reluctantly said, "Anyway, it's impossible!"
Shao Jing said, "I have another idea."
Mai Mai almost roared: "What else do you think!"
"I suspect that the disappearance of the lifeline in your hand has something to do with your father."
"It has something to do with it. Didn't we fight mandrills for this matter?"
Shao Jing shook his head: "No, I thought that way at that time because--because I thought you were Mobai, I thought you were only 30 years old by fate, and your father just met something that triggered the curse of the previous life, and the fate line was only [-] years old. Disappeared. But you are not Mobai, then--" Shao Jing stopped suddenly, staring straight at Mai, with a look of fear in his eyes.
Mai Mai had never seen Shao Jing afraid of anything before, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Shao Jing's lips moved, as if he had something to say.Mai Mai asked: "What's wrong with you? Talk!"
Shao Jing took a step back, leaned against the wall as if he could no longer stand, and said slowly: "If you are not Mo Bai, then your lifeline is so short, how long can you live?"
Wheat was stunned...
