You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Jiang Wanshui poured a bowl of rice wine for Su Chen and then waved his hands repeatedly.

"Dad, I have to get up early to kill pigs and sell pork. Living with you will affect your rest."

"How can it affect you?" Old Man Su glared. "Your mother and I both get up early, at three or four o'clock. How can it affect you?"

"Don't we still have Honghong and the others? Children need to get enough sleep."

"Aren't Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan children?"

Jiang Wanshui choked.

Su Xiaoyan bumped his arm and smiled at Old Man Su: "Dad, don't worry, we plan to ask Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan's teachers first and choose a school. We can talk about the rest later. I also want to live at home. Mom cooks delicious food and it saves me from having to do it myself."

This was a very soothing remark. Old Man Su nodded in satisfaction, raised his wine bowl and clinked it with Jiang Wanshui's, took a sip, then picked up a bite of the pork head, and squinted his eyes happily.

Su Chen saw it.

His father likes to drink, and he feels quite comfortable with his third sister's brother-in-law.

After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and took a sip of rice wine.

It's very smooth and gentle when you eat it, and you don't feel any spiciness at all after you eat it.

Su Chen was a little surprised and glanced at Su Xiaoyan: "Third sister, is this wine made by your family?"

"Your brother-in-law's friend did it. I don't have that ability."

Jiang Wanshui was pleased: "Isn't it delicious? I'll bring back two buckets later."

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

Under the light, Jiang Wanshui looked at his brother-in-law carefully again.

Although she is thirty years old, her face is still very young, without even a trace of wrinkles. If you don’t know her, you would think she is not married.

There was no trace of the burden of life on him, as if he would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

Su Chen picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and gave Su Xiaoyan a thumbs up.

"Third sister, this meat is delicious."

"If it tastes good, eat more. I'll pack some for you to take back with your porridge later."

"Third sister, this pig intestine is delicious too, give me some too."

"it is good."

Jiang Wanshui used to be very disdainful of his brother-in-law's eating and taking things. Although he didn't blame him too much for the sake of his wife, he was still very unhappy inside.

but now……

"Achen, try this pork liver. Your sister's is also delicious."

"Let me try~"

Su Chen was not polite and took a sip of wine and a bite of meat.

The three of them drank until around nine o'clock in the evening. By then, Old Man Su was already a little drunk and was staggering when he stood up.

"Ah Shui, come home tomorrow and I'll drink a few more bowls with you."

Jiang Wanshui hurriedly supported him: "Okay, okay, Dad, stand firm, don't fall."

"I, I'm not drunk, how could I fall?"

"Yes, yes, you're not drunk."

Seeing this, Su Chen smiled, bent down, took out three lobsters from two large buckets and threw them on the stove.

"Sister, cook this lobster for Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan to try. I'll take the rest back."

Then he took Old Man Su in his arms and said, "Dad, let's go."

Watching the two disappear in the house, Jiang Wanshui still couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Wife, my brother-in-law is simply amazing. His ability is almost like that of a god."

Su Xiaoyan glared at him and said, "Are you drunk? How about I cook the lobster while it's fresh and give it to you as a snack? Why don't you call a few friends over to continue eating?"

Jiang Wanshui's eyes lit up.

"Have Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan slept yet? If not, cook them. We don't know how to take care of them. If they die, they will stink."

When Su Chen appeared at home supporting Old Man Su, Liu Chunhua was startled.

She was reluctant to blame Su Chen and glared at Old Man Su fiercely: "Why are you back so late?"

When he came over and smelled the alcohol on him, he said with disgust: "Drinking again?"

"Just, just a little bit. I'm not drunk."

"Not drunk, not drunk. You can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

Liu Chunhua turned around and dug out some honey from the cupboard, then looked at Su Chen: "Achen, have you drunk it?"

"I drank a little, Mom. I'm fine."

Su Chen lifted the bucket in his hand as he spoke: "I asked a friend to save some lobsters for me before. He happened to be at Third Sister's place, so he brought them back. I'll give two away, and you can distribute the rest, Mom."

Su Chen placed Old Man Su on a bamboo chair, picked up two lobsters, picked up the meat that Su Xiaoyan had packed, and disappeared.

Liu Chunhua was stunned for a moment, holding a bowl of honey water and throwing it to Old Man Su. She watched him holding it blankly and drinking it obediently in small sips, and then went to see the lobster.

"Oh, they're all alive. I don't know how to cook this, old man. Should we just steam it?"

"Gudong, Gudong~"

Liu Chunhua was annoyed: "Why am I asking you? You haven't even farted in a long time."

After counting the nine lobsters left in the two buckets, Liu Chunhua smiled and said, "Just right for a family of three. No, Ah Chen wants to eat one..."

After hesitating for a moment, she made up her mind: "Two per family will be enough. For the remaining five, the village chief will give one, Achen will get one, and we will each get half a piece, which is just right."

When the complex and twisted lines suddenly became normal, Su Chen was already in a wilderness.

He counted on his fingers and entered the ghost path again.

When he appeared again, he was already in a small village.

It's already late at night.

Only three houses in the village were still lit.

When passing by one of the houses, Su Chen heard the shouts of people playing cards.

I passed by a brightly lit room where a baby was being born. The woman was screaming in agony, and the midwife whispered to me, "Hold on. This is how everyone gets through their first child."

The light in the last room was flickering.

Su Chen knocked on the door and a vigilant voice came from inside.

The white-haired old man had just returned home not long ago. He was about to untie the rope that tied up his granddaughter when he heard a knock on the door and his heart subconsciously trembled.

"Old man, it's me."

The old man was startled for a moment, then he walked to the door suspiciously, holding another candle. He looked through the crack in the door and asked, "Aren't you from our village?"

"I'm here to tell your fortune today."

The door was opened, and the old man looked at Su Chen in the candlelight: "Master, you... are here so late..."

He quickly opened his hands again cautiously: "Don't even think about doing anything stupid!"

Su Chen raised his hand and handed the two still moving lobsters and the meat to the old man.

"Don't get me wrong, you're still missing a real dish, right?"

"It just so happens that a friend gave me some lobster today. I'm offering this as a token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind, old man."

Su Chen put down the lobster and meat and took a step back. "Goodbye, old man."

The old man watched Su Chen's figure gradually disappear into the darkness. He only reacted when the wax dripped and burned his skin.

His eyes were slightly red: "Okay, you are a good person!"

Behind me, there was a crisp sound.

"Bugs, big bugs, grandpa, big bugs."

Turning around, it was his beloved granddaughter Qingqing.

At this moment, she was squatting down and looking at the two lobsters curiously.

The old man groaned and touched her head.

"Yes, it's a big bug. Qingqing is so smart. Grandpa will cook the big bug for Qingqing to eat, okay?"

The pretty girl immediately clapped her hands: "Oh oh oh, Qingqing is going to eat a big bug."

Seeing this, the old man burst into tears.

He pinched his trouser pocket and found a packet of rat poison he had just bought.

Wiping his eyes, the old man sighed.

After all, I can’t wait until the New Year.

Have a good meal tonight, and die tomorrow...

Su Chen went back home and came again.

He leaped onto the roof of the next door.

The cold moon hangs in the sky.

He just laid his head on his head and stared blankly.

The sound of playing cards was heard in my ears, and the woman in labor would scream from time to time, followed by childlike laughter.

"Grandpa, big bugs are so delicious."

"It's delicious. Qingqing, eat more. Grandpa doesn't like this. Can you give it all to Qingqing?"

……

The sky gradually turned pale.

As the woman in labor screamed at the top of her lungs, a baby's cry resounded through the sky.

In the room next to him, an old man held a bowl of water and coaxed the half-asleep girl: "Qingqing, good girl, drink some water before you go back to sleep? Good girl~"
