Dreaming of 1988, I have the ability to see ghosts and ghosts

Wang Fang's mother was not tall and had a medium build. Her dress should have been very fashionable at that time.

She had a low ponytail and wore a blue corduroy floral jacket. She was very amiable and her smile was as warm as the sunset, making people feel extremely comfortable and at ease.

I envy Wang Fang so much, it’s great to have a mother!

"Thank you, Auntie. I'd better go home and not trouble you anymore." I said politely.

"What's the trouble, Liu Feng? You still have to walk for more than 40 minutes to get home. By the time you get home, it will be past dinner time. Don't be polite, just stay and eat before going back!"

Wang Fang grabbed my hand and pulled me into the house.

"Yes, Liu Feng, you and Fang'er are good friends. Fang'er and I are the only ones at home, so you don't have to be restrained. Eat before you leave. It just so happens that I cooked a lot of dishes today, and the two of us can't finish them all."

Wang Fang’s mother said warmly.

I couldn't resist the invitation from Wang Fang and her mother, and I didn't tell my grandmother what time I would go home, so I was half-heartedly pulled into the house by Wang Fang.

There were three dishes and a soup on the table, including vegetarian beetroot, sausages, and braised crucian carp, and the soup was actually chicken soup.

These dishes are only available during the Chinese New Year in this era. I even suspect that Wang Fang had planned this in advance.

She must have told her mother a long time ago that she wanted to treat me to dinner at her home today, otherwise there would be no need for the two of us to cook so many dishes.

I leaned over to Wang Fang's ear and whispered:

"Thank you. You've been planning to have me come to your house for dinner, right?"

Wang Fang chuckled, agreeing with my guess, and pulled me to sit down.

During the meal, Wang Fang's mother kept putting food into my bowl.

"Come here, Liu Feng, this is the sausage I just made. Eat more. By the way, is your grandma doing well recently?"

Mother Wang Fang asked as she put a few more pieces of sausage into my bowl.

"Thank you, Auntie. My grandma is in good health. Do you know her?"

Seeing Wang Fang’s mother ask this, I asked in confusion.

"Yes, I know her. When your grandmother was young, she was very famous in our area. Many families invited her to come and see their families."

Wang Fang’s mother said with a smile.

"Oh, I was probably not born yet. My grandmother said that after I was born, she stopped helping people with fortune-telling."

"Yes! She was very accurate in predicting things for people back then, but it's a pity..."

Wang Fang’s mother stopped talking here. I thought, she should know about my parents’ affairs.

After dinner, I helped to clear the dishes, and Wang Fang's mother pushed Wang Fang and me upstairs.

"Fang'er, take Liu Feng upstairs to watch TV and play for a while. You don't need to help with these small bowls."

"Okay, Mom!"

Wang Fang responded to her mother while pulling me upstairs.

After going upstairs, Wang Fang turned on the TV. Her TV was very big, probably about 17 inches, and it was in color.

However, the color TVs at that time were not as clear as modern ones, and color TVs like this were not produced domestically and were generally imported.

"Wang Fang, your TV is still in color."

"Yes, my dad bought it second-hand in the city because he said new ones were too expensive," said Wang Fang.

We watched for a while and found it boring. I wanted to leave, but Wang Fang said that it was finally a holiday and it was my first time to go to her house, so she dragged me to her room.

We chatted for a while, and Wang Fang said:

"Come on, I'll take you to Uncle Wang's house in the bay to see the chrysanthemums. The variety of chrysanthemums his family bought from the city is something I've never seen before. They're so beautiful."

"is it?"

In that era, people in the countryside were busy farming and working, and few people would plant flowers and plants to appreciate.

Any empty space would be used to grow vegetables or soybeans, mung beans, etc., either for their own consumption or to sell to supplement the family income.

The Uncle Wang that Wang Fang was talking about was admitted to university in 1977, the year the college entrance examination was resumed. I heard that he is now an official in the city and his family is quite well off.

So we said something to her mother and walked along the threshing ground to the other end of the bay.

Their bay is very big. I roughly counted and there are about seventeen or eighteen households. Uncle Wang's house is at the very head of the bay.

Because this period was the slack season for farming, most of the doors of the houses were open and there were people at home. Wang Fang walked along the way, calling out uncle, aunt, brother, and sister.

It seems that she has good interpersonal relationships. I don’t know those people and just smiled shyly at them.

When I passed the third house, it was already cold in that season, and the chill wafting from that door was quite biting.

I couldn't help but shiver and got goose bumps all over my body. Wang Fang also inadvertently pulled her collar.

"Fang Er, where are you going?"

At this time, an old lady about 70 years old came out, followed by a boy of about or years old.

"Grandma, I took my classmates to Uncle Wang's house to see the chrysanthemums." Wang Fang replied.

"Aunt and the others haven't come back yet?" Wang Fang asked.

"Not yet, and I don't know what the current situation is. It's really worrying. Alas!"

The old lady sighed with a sad look on her face.

"It's okay, grandma. I think everything will be fine in the provincial capital. Don't worry about it."

Wang Fang comforted again.

"Xiaohui, you have to help grandma do something at home!"

Wang Fang spoke to the boy in the room again.

"I got it, Sister Fang!" After saying that, the boy flashed into the room.

After a few pleasantries, Wang Fang led me forward.

"This is my cousin Hu Shuangyue's home."

Wang Fang talked to me as we walked.

"Oh!" No wonder Hu Shuangyue fell ill and the cause could not be found. I already understood the chill she felt just now. There was no doubt that a ghost was haunting her.

But I still can’t say it, because my grandma said that some causes and effects must be borne.

If others don't actively seek your help to solve the problem, and you take the initiative to intervene and destroy the original cause and effect, perhaps a greater cause and effect will happen to them.

After passing another door, we arrived at Uncle Wang's house at the edge. This house was also a two-and-a-half-story Western-style building, more imposing than Wang Fang's.

There is a small open space next to the house, with several fruit trees planted on it. In winter, most of the fruit trees have lost their leaves, and only the orange trees' leaves are still green.

At the very edge of the open space, there was a row of chrysanthemums planted. There were yellow, white, and purple-red flowers, all of which were very common varieties.

But it is quite rare to see such beautiful chrysanthemums in the countryside in this era.

Before this, all we could see were the small yellow wild chrysanthemums growing on the roadside.

The chrysanthemums are in full bloom, their golden petals sparkling in the sun and emitting a delicate fragrance. The white ones are even more gorgeous.

"Liu Feng, isn't she beautiful?"

Wang Fang was very excited, and I nodded in agreement.

"It's really beautiful."

"I have made an agreement with Grandma Wang that when the chrysanthemums sprout next year, she will let me dig one up and plant it. When it grows and sprouts more, I will dig one up for you to plant."

Wang Fang was very happy. Girls all love flowers and plants, but I am not very interested in them. In order not to disappoint Wang Fang, I agreed to her request.

"OK!"

We looked at it for a while and then walked back.
