Chapter 177 Cousin
A few more days.
It's the end of August and the holidays are coming to an end.
Periods of rain swept away the July heat.
The weather has cooled down a bit, but the autumn tiger is still very powerful.
However, the days in the small courtyard are always very happy.
Liu Hou lived a rare peaceful and leisurely life, enjoying himself and not thinking about Shu every day.
I usually study Taoism with my master Ni Yuefei and go to work at Wanjiang Biology.
He always lamented that his life had changed too much in these two months.
Two months ago, he was just an ordinary poor boy, and his life was just like that, and he could see everything at a glance.
Looking back, his life plan was also very simple.
I graduated safely, found a job in a company, and earned an average salary. I was lucky enough to stay in Chuncheng, get married, have children, and live an ordinary, lower-middle-class life.
This is his dream.
But even this dream is difficult to realize.
But two months later, his mind completely changed.
Life has completely changed.
He had a beautiful master and became the abbot of Taiyi Sect.
Not to mention the house, theoretically the entire Taiyi Gate belongs to him.
It’s just that Taiyi Sect is still very poor.
Even so, he was already very satisfied.
At his core, Liu Hou is actually a happy-go-lucky person with no big ambitions.
Playing chess with the master every day, sitting together and watching the fallen flowers in the courtyard fall and bloom again.
Butterflies are flying here and there, and birds are chirping.
Good.
It's really good.
He just hoped that such ordinary daily life could go on forever.
This afternoon, after dinner, Ni Yuefei and I left the courtyard and took a walk along the river.
Suddenly the phone rang.
Liu Hou picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. When he connected, he heard the accent of his hometown.
"Liu Wa'er, I'm your aunt."
Before Liu Hou could ask any questions, the person on the other end of the phone announced his home address.
aunt?
Liu Hou was stunned and remembered that his family did have such a relative.
We don't have many visits, we just go out during the holidays.
In my memory, my aunt is called Liu Qin. She is a rural woman with a round waist and thick legs. Her screams can be heard half a mile away.
I have a daughter named Wang Qianqian.
It is quite troublesome for rural people to have no sons. Neighbors always say bad things about you.
He said you were incompetent, useless and so on, and looked down on you.
Originally, my aunt was a quiet and timid person, but in the end she was forced to become a shrew by the gossiping villagers.
However, my aunt has been very kind to me since I was a child.
"Auntie, what's the matter?"
Liu Hou asked.
As the saying goes, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. My aunt hasn't contacted their family for a long time, and she suddenly called. She must have gotten the phone number from her parents.
If you don't have something to do with yourself, that would be weird.
Auntie laughed loudly: "Auntie, I haven't talked to you for a long time. I just want to chat with you."
"It's okay, if there's anything I can do to help you just tell me."
Liu Hou interrupted her.
The aunt on the other side of the phone was stunned. She was also a little scared just across the phone.
My nephew's tone was calm, but his words carried an irresistible momentum.
This feeling was similar to when she met the powerful village party secretary in the village.
She suddenly felt a little timid.
Little did she know that Liu Hou had already experienced several life-and-death battles in less than two months. He had died more than 100,000 times in the art of dream painting.
Naturally, some momentum developed.
Now he doesn't know how to restrain himself, so there is always a fierceness leaking out in every move he makes.
Ordinary people would become helpless just by hearing his voice.
He is also changing now.
"Oh, oh, oh."
My aunt smiled a little reluctantly: "Your cousin Wang Qianqian took the college entrance examination this year and was admitted to Linjiang Normal University in Spring City."
Liu Hou said happily: "Sister Qianqian has good grades and was admitted to Linjiang Normal University. That is one of the key universities in Spring City, and it is much better than the university I went to. Congratulations."
The aunt suddenly became proud: "Your cousin has been smart since she was a child, and she has finally gained some face for me."
Liu Hou nodded, deeply convinced.
My aunt had a very hard life. She married a lazy man from a neighboring village. All she did was eat, drink and play cards all day long. She didn't even look at the rotting crops in the fields.
And she gave birth to a daughter, who was ridiculed by her husband's family all day long.
Now that Wang Qianqian has been admitted to a key university, she is finally relieved and feels proud.
In my memory, my cousin who was two years younger than me was also a quiet and timid girl. She was skinny and not in good health.
When I was a child, my aunt would often send me to his house, and she would follow him, running slowly with snot in my nose.
If I run a few steps, I will be out of breath.
She is a very inconspicuous girl.
"By the way, Liu Wa'er."
When my aunt said this, she felt a little embarrassed: "Your cousin will come to Spring City in the next few days. It is her first time going out and she is timid. I am afraid that she will be bullied, and it will be some time before she leaves school.
So I want to ask you, my cousin, to help me take care of her for a few days, so that I can feel relieved when she moves into the dormitory when school starts."
There are still five or six days until the registration time for the university to start.
Considering the situation of my aunt's family, it is indeed unrealistic to stay in a hotel.
Her family is too poor, and I'm afraid the expenses for her cousin's college education are all scrapped together.
Relatives should help each other, and besides, Liu Hou was still very fond of his cousin.
So he agreed: "Don't worry, aunt, I will take care of my cousin. It's absolutely safe."
"Thank you very much."
My aunt thanked me profusely on the phone and then hung up.
Just as I put my phone back in my trouser pocket, the ringing started ringing again.
This time it was dad who called.
Dad also had a loud voice. As soon as the call was connected, he shouted: "Liu Hou, did you answer your aunt's call?"
"Got it."
Liu Hou replied.
"It's not easy for your aunt. If we should help, we should help. We can't be ungrateful. You must know that you were naughty and burned your aunt's crops, causing her family to almost have no food to eat. If I want to beat you to death, your aunt will do it."
I stopped him and said that children were ignorant.
Also, when you were six years old, you fell into a dry toilet, and it was your aunt who picked you up and flushed you with well water..."
Liu Hou has black lines all over his head.
What is all this talking about?
Ni Yuefei on the side laughed out loud.
The sweet chuckle made Dad's breath hitch.
Obviously, he was surprised that there was a girl next to his son.
Then there was the sound of the phone being snatched away, and my mother's words came over: "Xiao Hou, is there a girl next to you?"
"Oh, yes, my master."
Liu Hou scratched his head.
"Master? What master?"
As soon as my mother heard this, her fighting spirit came immediately: "Give the phone to the girl and let us have a chat."
"This is not good, my master may not be willing to..."
Liu Hou has black lines all over his head.
But Ni Yuefei nodded from the side: "I am willing, let me talk to my aunt."
"What's there to say..."
Liu Hou muttered, and Ni Yuefei couldn't help but snatched the phone away.
The two women, an old woman and a young woman, have very different family backgrounds, extremely different educational statuses, and even have completely different personalities.
We actually started chatting.
Ni Yuefei, who was naturally dazed, chatted with Liu Hou's mother along the way and couldn't stop giggling.
I don’t know how many embarrassing things Liu Hou heard about when he was a child.
He also agreed that when Liu Hou comes home next time, he must follow him back to his hometown to stay for a while.
Mom obviously regards Ni Yuefei as her daughter-in-law.
Liu Hou was speechless.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Ni Yuefei returned the almost-depleted mobile phone to Liu Hou, during which she even added her damn WeChat.
Liu Hou was thinking about how to entertain his cousin when she arrived.
After thinking about it, he suddenly realized something.
After my cousin comes to Spring City, she will live with him for a while.
But, he still lives with his master now.
Where can I find a house for her to live in?
Oops.
