Zhang Po is the wife of old man Zhang from Zhangjia Village next door to Chenjia Village. She has become a goddess since I don’t know when, helping people in several neighboring villages to do small rituals.

People in rural areas are quite superstitious. If there is a slightly unexplainable problem, they will think that they are hit by evil spirits or ghosts. So whenever these things happen, the villagers will ask Old Man Zhang's wife to take a look.

Over time, the villagers also forgot the name of Old Man Zhang's wife. Anyway, they only knew that she was Old Man Zhang's daughter-in-law, so people also called her by Old Man Zhang's surname.

In the countryside, people who know something about so-called psychics are called gods or something like that. The men are called divine masters, fire is the magic stick, and the women are called goddesses. Old man Zhang’s wife used to be called a goddess or something like that, but later she didn’t.

Maybe because she thought it didn't sound good or because she was an outsider, she called her Zhang Po, which means Zhang family's daughter-in-law is a goddess.

Everyone also thought that it was more friendly to call him like that, so people just kept calling him like that.

Chen Yan came to the phone table in the room, picked up the phone and dialed the number of the grandmother's house in Zhangjiacun next door. After just a few beeps, the phone there felt relieved.

..."Hello~who is it?" An old male voice came from the phone.

Chen Yan heard the voice on the phone and said hurriedly: "Hello~ I'm Chen Yan from Chenjiacun. Is Granny Zhang here?"

The other end of the phone heard the words and said: "Oh ~ it's Chen Yan, I'm your Uncle Zhang, your aunt is packing things outside. Do you have anything to do with her?"

Chen Yan heard this and said hurriedly: "Oh, it's Uncle Zhang. Are you in good health?"

Zhang Bo said: "Okay, okay, you just said you were looking for your aunt, what's the matter?"

Chen Yan said: "Oh~ that's what happened. My Tian Ming was talking nonsense there today. We were afraid that we might have been frightened there, so we wanted to ask my aunt to come and take a look."

Zhang Bo said, "Oh, that's all right. I'll go talk to your aunt and ask her to come over right away."

Chen Yan said: "This road is not easy to walk, how about I come to pick her up."

Zhang Bo said: "No need to answer her, she is in good health now. Just wait at home. I will call her over now."

Chen Yan said: "Okay, then tell Auntie to walk slowly and not in a hurry."

Zhang Bo said: "Okay, that's it, I'll call her right away."

Chen Yan said: "Okay~ okay, let's do this for now." After saying that, he waited for the person to hang up the phone before putting it back.

After making the call, I went to the yard outside the house, walked up to Chen Ying, Guo Yan and Huang Juan who were sitting in the yard and said, "The call has been made and they said they would be here soon. Is there anything you need to prepare?"

After that, he looked at the three people.

Guo Yan said: "I don't know, I've never done this before."

Huang Juan also said: "I don't know either."

Suddenly the three people's eyes looked like Chen Ying.

Chen Ying sat there and looked at their faces with do-you-know expressions and said, "I don't understand this either. It seems like you need to burn paper money to light candles or something. Just prepare some incense candles and paper money first; wait for Granny Zhang to come."

If there’s anything missing, I’ll make it up.”

When the three of them heard this, Chen Yan hurriedly said to Guo Yan: "Then go and find out if there is any paper money at home. If there are candles and incense, you don't have to look for them. They are on the desk in the main hall."

Hearing this, Guo Yan said: "Then I'll go see if there are any leftovers from the last time I helped my mother." After saying that, she walked to the room that was usually used to store things.

Within a few minutes, Guo Yan came out with a stack of paper money in his hand, walked up to everyone and said: "I just found this, I don't know if it is enough."

Chen Yingdao: "It's just a formality, it should be enough. You go ahead and prepare some drinks and stir-fry two dishes. Wait for Grandma Zhang to come and entertain you."

When the two women heard this, they knew that Chen Ying must be calling them, so they said to each other: "Then let's go get ready." After saying this, Ms. Liang walked to the kitchen.

Chen Ying and Chen Yanlai were the only father and son left in the yard. Chen Yingze was smoking his dry cigarette again. Chen Yan looked at it and his father said: "Dad, do you think I should give you a red envelope later?"

Hearing this, Chen Ying took the pipe and said, "This is what I must give."

Chen Yan said: "How much does bread cost there?"

Chen Yingdao: "It's hard for me to say this. If it's less, I'm afraid she'll say we're stingy. If it's more, I'm afraid she'll say we're cheating. If we give too much, we'll hurt people's feelings."

Chen Yan said: "Then..."

Chen Yingdao: "Just give me thirty. Thirty is almost enough in our country. I'll keep her for a meal later."

Chen Yan said: "Okay, then I'll take care of it."

Chen Yan came to the room, found a red envelope and stuffed 30 yuan into it. He walked out of the room and went to the kitchen and said to Guo Yan: "How are the preparations? Check to see if there is any meat at home. I will pick some vegetables later.

, let Granny Zhang have a meal tonight."

Guo Yan said: "There is still some pork and eggs in the cabinet, but not much else. I will pick some vegetables after I finish this work."

Chen Yan said: "Okay, I'll go see if Granny Zhang is here." After saying that, he walked out of the kitchen.

After waiting in the yard for another ten minutes, Granny Zhang from Zhangjia Village next door appeared outside Chen's yard. When Chen Yan saw Granny Zhang, he quickly walked to the yard to greet her.

When she walked to the yard, Grandma Zhang stood up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, aunt. Let me pick up the things. Please be careful where you walk."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang said: "Your aunt, I'm not that old yet, I can still walk this far." After saying that, she took off a cloth bag hanging from her shoulder and handed it to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan hurriedly took the bag handed over by Granny Zhang and said, "My aunt is still so strong. She is really blessed."

Zhang Po heard this and said with a smile: "Yanzi, you just love to say things that please our old people."

Chen Yan said: "Yes, my aunt is in really good shape."

After saying that, he said to Granny Zhang: "Auntie, you have just arrived. Go inside and drink some wine to moisten your throat."

Granny Zhang said: "Okay~ I'm sorry to trouble you."

Chen Yan said: "What did my aunt say? It's my nephew who caused you trouble."

Zhang Po said: "No trouble, no trouble, haha~."

When they came to the yard, Chen Ying also stood up and walked to Granny Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. Come on, let's have a drink of water first."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang said: "You just say this and go out, what's the trouble? My old Zhang is still asking you why you should go and chat with him."

Chen Yingdao: "Brother Zhang, is he in good health?"

Zhang Po said: "What's good? As people get older, their health will not get better day by day."

Chen Yingdao: "Yes~ This person has to obey his old age...Oh~ Come~ Come and let's go into the house and let's talk... Let's go into the house and let's talk."

Chen Yan also hurriedly said: "Yes~ yes, go inside first;"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Okay~Okay, let's talk about it after we enter the house; let's go~"

The three of them came to the kitchen and dining room and sat down. Chen Yan quickly picked up the wine pot and poured the homemade glutinous rice wine into the bowl that had been placed. He said, "Auntie, just drink it to moisten your throat. I don't have any good food to entertain you, so I'll treat you to it."

Don't be offended."

Zhang Po said: "Yanzi, what are you talking about? Look at the table full of dishes, how can there be no Cai?"

Chen Yan said: "Haha~ Even some home-cooked dishes are not available, so my aunt just ordered them, haha~ Come and eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables."

Granny Zhang said: "Okay, okay, let's eat together, eat together." After saying that, she picked up her chopsticks and started picking up vegetables.

When the meal was almost done, Granny Zhang put down her chopsticks, took another sip of wine and said, "I heard Zhang said that your family Tian Ming seemed to be scared out of his mind. What's going on?"

Chen Yan didn't dare to tell him that he had gone to the hospital and said that it was the doctor who told him, otherwise Granny Zhang would definitely mind, so he said: "Auntie is like this. Last month Tianming fell down from upstairs and broke his forehead.

It was a small hole. We originally thought it might be just this injury, and there was nothing else to do, so we bandaged it and it was over. But today, suddenly he was talking nonsense, saying that he saw a little girl, and that he had been there all the time.

Playing with ourselves, we wonder if we were frightened when we fell down last time.”

Hearing this, Granny Zhang said: "I have seen these things too many times. I must be scared out of my mind. A few days ago, Zhang Daniu's child was frightened. He cried there all night. Zhang Daniu came at midnight.

The people who knocked on our house said that maybe their baby was frightened and asked me to go and have a look."

Chen Yan asked: "Brother Zhang, what happened to his baby?"

Zhang Po said: "Oh, that baby was playing by himself. He tripped over the threshold in front of the room, fell to the ground and burst into tears. When Daniel's wife heard the baby cry, she ran over. He picked her up and coaxed her for a few minutes.

Then I won’t cry anymore. A rich wife doesn’t understand that a child has to cry out for his soul when he falls down. When he sees that the child has stopped crying, he carries him into the room.”

Chen Yandao: "Isn't it okay to just help him up if he falls down? Are you still shouting like that?"

Hearing this, Granny Zhang said: "I know you young people don't understand and don't believe it. When this kid fell, you not only had to help him up, but you also had to call his frightened soul back. Did you shout at your family's Tianming?"

Chen Yan looked at Chen Ying when he heard this; Chen Ying looked at his son and looked at himself and said: "I don't understand this either. At that time, I saw Tian Ming fell to the ground and picked him up. Later, when I saw the blood on his forehead, I

I quickly helped him stop the bleeding without shouting."

After a pause, he looked at Granny Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think this fall really scared the soul?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang said: "If this is really the case, I might be really scared."

Chen Yan said: "Then please help me, Auntie. We all say that Auntie, you are very effective in this regard."

Zhang Po heard this and said with a smile: "It's troublesome or not, aren't you just saying that? You guys gave me my name. I'm so powerful. I can only be a bit understanding at best."

Chen Yan said: "Auntie, you are so modest. Everyone is aware of your ability."

Zhang Po laughed even more when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, since you believe me, I will show my shame as an old woman, haha~." Chen Yan asked: "Then do we need to prepare anything?"

Zhang Po said: "Go and prepare three pairs of candles. It doesn't matter what size they are. Big ones are best. Eleven incense sticks and a small bundle of paper money will do. Then prepare a bowl of rice, a small incense burner and a small table."

Hearing this, Chen Yan said: "Okay, I'll go get ready now. Auntie, just drink here first and don't go outside."

Zhang Po said: "Well, we are neighbors and we are not strangers to each other. How can I meet outsiders? Go and prepare these things."

Chen Yan heard this and said, "Okay, I'll go get ready right now." After saying that, he got up and walked out.

Seeing that the scene suddenly became quiet, Chen Ying said to Granny Zhang: "Come on, come on, sister-in-law, you're welcome, eat some vegetables, eat some vegetables." After saying that, she picked up her chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "Okay~Okay~eat the food, let's eat together." After saying that, she picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food.
