Chapter 2 Lantern Festival Meet

When I remembered the matter of my ancestral home, I asked my dad, "Dad, how is the ancestral home in my hometown built?"

My dad took out his cell phone and showed me a few photos of him. The photos showed the newly built ancestral home. "Look at this house, this yard, and here..." My dad said, while pointing to me with great enthusiasm, "Xiao Ran, what do you think?"

I kept nodding while watching. The newly built ancestral home is indeed more spacious and brighter and more beautiful than the original house. My father said that when he is old and retired, he will go back to his ancestral home with his mother, grow vegetables and raise chickens, drink tea in the yard, and watch the sunset! My father's longing made me fascinated. However, when I think of the ancestral home and what is under the ancestral grave, I can't help but feel moved.

My parents and I chatted for a while, then got up and went back to the room. We haven't been back for many days, but the room was spotless and clean, which was all my mother's credit. I walked to the desk, opened the drawer in the middle, took out a small cloth bag, and after opening it, there was an ancient seal with eight words engraved on it: The blessing of the heavenly official, there is no taboo.

Speaking of which, the haircut has been in my hands for a long time, but I have not discovered what secret it hides so far. There are no taboos. At that time, I almost died in the depths of the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom with this seal. The only thing that puzzled me was the small holes arranged on the seal, and I didn’t know what tricks there was.

Lying on the bed and groping for the seal, I gradually fell asleep. When I woke up, I still felt very sleepy, probably because I was too tired during this period. I got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face. Looking at myself in the mirror, I felt a little thinner than before, and at the same time I felt less weak as a scholar, but I had a little bit of lean edges and corners.

I know that I have changed a lot during this period, and my mentality and way of dealing with things have changed. I think this is also a kind of gain after experiencing these things. I stared into my eyes and smiled. I also smiled in the mirror.

I felt a little stupid and gradually restrained my smile, but when I looked in the mirror again, my mind suddenly burst out because I found that when I put away my smile, I was still smiling at me in the mirror.

I exclaimed, took two steps back, and looked at myself in the mirror in horror, or I didn't know if this was myself.

The "I" in the mirror was still smiling, and a gloomy expression gradually appeared in the smile. I panicked and grabbed a bottle of shampoo and smashed it in front of the mirror. With a "pop", the mirror cracked like a spider-web. At this moment, a hand stretched out from the mirror!

I immediately screamed and retreated back again, but I didn't expect that my feet did not stand firmly and my whole body fell backwards all of a sudden.

My whole body was shocked and I suddenly opened my eyes. I found myself lying on the bed. It turned out that I had a dream just now! At this time, I was still in shock and my heart was beating violently. I sat up, touched my forehead, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out.

The scene in the dream just now was very clear, and I still remember it vividly. I don’t know why I had such a strange dream! Looking at the window, it was still pitch black. Before dawn, I lay down again and forced myself to fall asleep again.

This time I didn't have any strange dreams, and I slept until midnight. When I woke up, my parents had already gone out. I knew that from today on, I would live my life as an otaku again.

After breakfast, I sent a message to Yuanxiao bored, but I didn't get his reply. Maybe he was busy in his own shop. I suddenly realized that the lifestyle of Yuanxiao and others was actually better than mine. Every time these people came back from a fight, they had their own serious careers to do, such as Yuanxiao, Yuan An, and second uncle!

Only I either follow everyone for a lifetime of death, and once the matter is over, I will stay at home and live in a drunken and dream. My current state is probably summed up, either through life or dying, or just waiting for death! I go! I cursed in my heart, my life is so miserable!

After a while, my cell phone rang. I picked up the phone that was Lanxiao. The sound of Lanxiao seemed a little hurried, "Hey, Zhuoran, I'm sorry, I just saw the message, I'm a little busy."

I smiled, "It seems that the business in your store is good! Congratulations!"

"Hi, what are you congratulating!" Yuanxiao also smiled, "I'm just busy, I'm a little boss, and I'm doing it like a guy." Yuanxiao was just talking, and a woman next to me said something. I didn't hear clearly, but I could hear it was Sisi's voice. When Yuanxiao heard it, he immediately said, "Okay, here we are here!!" Then he said to me, "Okay, Zhuoran, I won't tell you now, come and play with me!"

I agreed, and Lanxiao hung up the phone.

Time passed day by day. Uncle Er has been staying in Guizhou, and Yuanxiao is busy with his shop, while Wenmo has not heard from me yet. Regardless of the news that made me very happy, Annaduo has woken up, but it is not convenient to speak. The doctor said that this part of the brain structure has been damaged and needs to be recovered slowly. Uncle Er takes care of her almost every day. He sent me a photo of Annaduo. Although Annaduo on the hospital bed has not recovered, he looks in a good mood. This made me very relieved, and the guilt in my heart has finally been relieved.

Just when I thought my life would be peaceful, one night I was ready to go to bed, and suddenly I received a call from Yuanxiao. On the phone, the sound of Yuanxiao came, "Zhuoran, what are you doing at home recently? I haven't had your letter for many days."

I replied, "What can I do? I'll just squat at home. How are you doing recently? Is your business pretty good?"

Yuanxiao replied, "It's okay. You're fine at home, come and have fun with me! I still have something to talk to you! If you are inconvenient, I'll go find you after I've been working for a few or two days."

I thought about it, if Lantern Festival came to my house, if my parents discovered what we did, it would be troublesome. It would be more convenient to go to Lantern Festival. So I said to him, "I'll go find you."

"Okay! I'll wait for you, come here early!" said Lanxiao.

I was curious, "What do you want to talk to me about? Let's talk about it first. Are you going to get married?"

"Don't talk nonsense! It's not a particularly urgent matter. Let's talk to each other!" After that, he hung up the phone.

I really couldn't think of what happened to me at Lantern Festival, but he still got me up, so I immediately booked a ticket to Beijing. The next morning, I greeted my parents and set off. My parents seemed to have gotten used to my frequent trips. Due to business and work, they often need to go on business trips, so I didn't mind my situation.

I took the train to Beijing, got off the train and took a taxi to Panjiayuan. When I found Dongdingge, I found Lanxiao squinting and was sitting at the door basking in the sun.

"Hey, Boss Tang is quite leisurely!" I said with a smile.

When Lantern Festival heard my voice, she immediately stood up, "Zhuoran, you didn't say anything to me, I can go and pick you up!"

I waved my hand, "We don't have to be polite, we often come and go, it's more casual."

Yuanxiao raised his hand and said, "Let's go, sit in the store."

"No need," as I said, I sat on the Lantern Festival recliner, "It looks pretty good, it's spacious and bright, and you can still see the scenery."

"There is a big scene in this place. All the people are from TM." Yuanxiao smiled, and he also pulled a stool and sat down. He turned to the store and shouted, "Si Si, help me make a pot of tea."

Sisi agreed and walked out of the store. Sisi, the girl, is very white and has pretty facial features. Her hair dyed brown and yellow and tied into a ponytail, looks very capable, which makes me think of Anado. Sisi smiled at me and nodded, then turned around and went in with the teapot.

I whispered to Lanxiao: "Hey, it seems that there is progress. Sisi is much more kind to you!"

Yuanxiao smiled and shook her head, "Where! This is what I have worked hard. Do you know how hard I have worked these days? I came to open the door every day, and I ordered the goods every day before closing the door. This is simply, it's just a little bit more than a fight." As he said that, Yuanxiao looked around and said in a low voice: "It's even more tiring than a fight!"

I snorted and said softly, "Stop talking nonsense, and compete with fighting. Even if you are tired, you can't die at least!" I looked at the store on Lantern Festival, "Actually, you are not here these days, and Sisi is not taking care of the store. It's not enough for you to do more when you come back. I think this store has changed a lot compared to the last time I came here. Besides, you are the boss after all. Sisi is tired and tiring, not for you to be stupid."

Yuanxiao nodded, "That's true!"

At this time, Sisi happened to step out of the store door. She probably heard what I said behind me, and said, "Actually, I forced him to do more, because I wanted him to take responsibility for this point, and not be careless every day like a second-generation ancestor." As she said that, she put the teapot on the small table in front of us, "You talk first, I'll go in and organize it."

I picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, "Look at how good this girl is, be content, you kid." Lanxiao drank the tea happily and nodded repeatedly.

After a cup of tea, I remembered the serious matter and asked, "Oh, by the way, what did you find when you call me here?"
