Once I had my goal, I took action quickly. I started looking for ovens all over the county. Only with a special electric pottery oven can I bake good soul urns.
Yu Xiaoxue didn't know what I was looking for, but since she didn't go to school, she had plenty of time. Anyway, as long as she could be with me, sitting in the car would be a trip.
What disappoints me is that there is no high-temperature sintering furnace I want in such a large county. Even if there is one, it only costs several thousand, and I can't afford it at all.
Remembering that there were many brick factories in Linxian County where my mother lived, I thought there should be something like this, so I took out the phone.
"Mom, I'm looking for a high-temperature sintering furnace for baking ceramics. Do we have one at home?" I called my mother. She used her savings to open a farm machinery shop, and she might have that kind of thing.
"What high-temperature sintering furnace? That thing costs tens of thousands. Do you want to open a factory?" My mother was very confused on the other end of the phone.
"No, it's just a hobby. I'll make some small bottles and jars, as big as a palm."
"Oh, as for the oven, I have one at home, but I haven't been able to sell it for a long time." Mother replied.
I immediately got excited, went to the bank, and withdrew the remaining one thousand yuan.
When I got to the gas station, I spent more than 400 yuan to fill up the car with gas, and then drove towards Linxian. It was expected that the round trip would only take about three or four hours if I took the expressway.
When I arrived in Linxian, I parked the car at the door. My mother thought it was the engineering boss who came to buy something. When she came out, she was stunned when she saw me.
"This car..." My mother was very surprised when she saw the luxurious Audi off-road vehicle. When she looked inside the car, there was no one else there.
Only the little girl Yu Xiaoxue got out of the passenger seat: "Aunt! I'm coming!"
"Oh, Xiaoxue, why are you here with your brother Tian? Where is your dad?" The mother was surprised. She thought everyone in Xiaoyitun was dead.
"Brother Tian took me out of Xiaoyitun. My dad is missing and has not been found, but Brother Tian said he would help me find him in the future." Yu Xiaoxue explained sadly, holding her mother's hand and crying.
Her mother had a good relationship with the people in the village, and she treated Yu Xiaoxue like a daughter. She immediately hugged her and comforted her: "Don't cry. If you can't find her, let's look for her slowly. Don't be in a hurry."
"Yeah." Yu Xiaoxue nodded.
"Mom, where's the oven?" I asked impatiently.
"Inside, I tied it up for you. You can carry it up yourself. My waist is not good and A Fei just returned to his hometown yesterday." Mother pointed to the oven next to the door.
Ah Fei is a worker hired by his mother, and he cannot do anything good in this line of work.
Without further ado, I went to carry the oven, and found that it was quite heavy. In the end, I had to drag it behind the car, and relied on Yu Xiaoxue and her mother to carry it to the car.
"This car is very good, who does it belong to?" My mother saw the luxurious configuration in the car, and her words were a little false, fearing that I had stolen it.
"Oh, how about your future little daughter-in-law, do you think it's reliable?" I sneered. The eldest daughter-in-law must be my sister-in-law, and there is only a quota for the little daughter-in-law.
Yu Xiaoxue suddenly became unhappy and looked at me with a muttered mouth.
"You are the only one who talks a lot and always says that she is your little daughter-in-law." My mother saw that Yu Xiaoxue was very unhappy, so she told me that she knew about my daughter-in-law's sister, and like my grandmother, she did not dare to be disrespectful at all. After all, she
Saved his son.
When Yu Xiaoxue saw her mother helping her, she began to reciprocate the favor: "Huh, aunt, the car belongs to sister Zhao Qian. Brother Tian saved her, and she invited us to live in her villa. She is not Brother Tian's future wife.
!”
"Then who is his little wife? Is this Xiaoxue in our family?" The mother looked at Yu Xiaoxue as if teasing a child. She didn't know who Zhao Qian was, but she had liked Yu Xiaoxue since she was a child.
Yu Xiaoxue's face turned red and she couldn't say a word. She wanted to nod, but she felt embarrassed when she looked at me.
"Mom, where is grandma's book? I asked you to put it away for me before, but now I need to use it." After closing the back door, I asked my mother. After all, I could walk out of Xiaoyitun, and my mother must have guessed me.
things.
Once grandma dies, Xiaoyitun will definitely cease to exist. Being able to survive does not just depend on luck.
"Put it in the hidden compartment of your room. Have you eaten?" My mother looked at me and just asked me if I had eaten.
"Not yet, I just had some snacks with Xiaoxue on the street." After I said that, I entered the house. My family was also poor. The goods in the shop were all brought by the dealers to sell first, and they were paid after they were sold.
"I've cooked the rice. You can eat it later and then leave." My mother had no intention of keeping me because I had been raised by my grandmother since I was a child. She knew that I couldn't stay at home. She could stay at home for ten and a half days in the past.
Even if it's very long.
"Oh." I nodded, took Yu Xiaoxue to the kitchen, took a few bites of food, and then went to my bedroom.
The bedroom is not big, and the bed and cabinets are simply placed and arranged neatly. It seems that my mother usually takes care of it, which makes me feel very warm.
The secret compartment is behind the tiles of the wall skirt. When you remove it, there is a mezzanine. Inside is grandma's book without the cover.
I took it out, flipped through a few pages, and then burst out laughing. I had smudged many of the pages on it, and had drawn a lot of messy cartoons, which looked ridiculous.
However, no matter how sloppy it is, its importance to me is unquestionable. The success of Soul Urn depends entirely on this book. It was my treasure back then.
Of course, I have actually memorized everything in the book, except for some subtle details. If I have them when making the soul urn, I can save a lot of effort by following them.
I went downstairs and Yu Xiaoxue also finished eating. I took my mother aside and said, "Mom, grandma was killed by others. I almost couldn't get out this time when I went back to Xiaoyitun, but I wasn't
The worst thing is that Xiaoxue's father, Zhang Yidan, and Zhou Xuan are all dead, and Zhou Xuan is...well, they are worse than me, I can't swallow this breath, I have to take revenge."
I wanted to talk about Zhou Xuan being transformed into a walking corpse, but thinking about it was too tragic, I swallowed my words.
"Mom knew this day would come. Your life has been light since you were born, but the things you carry are heavier than anyone else. If any of them died because of you, you will avenge them. It is only right!" Mother sighed heavily!
He took a breath and looked at me without any hesitation.
"Mom, I understand, then you have to be careful when I'm not here." I nodded. In fact, the only thing I couldn't let go of was my mother.
"You don't have to worry about Mom. If you have something you can't handle, call back. Mom will handle it for you." My mother said resolutely, and then took a stack of money and gave it to me: "You can take these three thousand yuan first. If it's not enough, call me."
mom."
"It's better to take the turnover. This little money is not enough for my midnight snack. Your son can afford to drive a luxury car and has plenty of money. I will go back to the county first. I still have a lot of things to do there." Although I
Now I am so poor that I only have a few hundred yuan, but I can't ask my mother for money. I have to pretend to be fat even if my face is swollen.
After saying a few words of farewell, I took Yu Xiaoxue back to the county.
It was past five o'clock when we arrived at the county. I bought a set of tools for making pottery on the way and returned to the community.
I looked at the time and saw that the two little princesses had probably slept for about four or five hours. Depending on the situation, they would have to sleep for a while. But now it was time to eat, so I asked Yu Xiaoxue to call them down.
I heated up the cooked vegetables myself and cooked a pot of rice to wait.
Women are very difficult to take care of. After Zhao Qian and Han Shanshan were called, they took turns combing their hair and dressing up in the bathroom. They were late when the rice was cooked and brought to the table.
Someone called her up and there was a hot meal waiting for her. Zhao Qian was very touched by the care. She usually lived alone and never enjoyed the warmth of this family. Looking at the situation in front of her, she almost cried.
nose.
I handed Zhao Qian a pair of chopsticks, and Zhao Qian took them, her face slightly rosy. She had a good rest today, because she knew there was popularity in the family when she fell asleep.
Compared to Zhao Qian, Han Shanshan looked much better. When she saw that I didn’t pass her chopsticks, she immediately snatched the bowl and chopsticks from my hand and started eating shamelessly: “Hey, I can’t tell you’re pretty.
You know how to take care of people, no wonder since Zhao Qian followed you, I think she is more beautiful than before, so she went into the toilet and didn't come out for a long time."
The small mouthful of rice that Zhao Qian had just swallowed immediately spurted out, and the rice particles were all stuck to my face. I was so embarrassed that I thought about how to explain it.
Yu Xiaoxue is not happy. Why are Brother Tian and Zhao Qian being dragged together? Why can't you drag me in?
"Can you just eat and not talk?" I glared at Han Shanshan and went to get some paper to wipe my face.
Han Shanshan stuck out her tongue. She didn't know that Zhao Qian would react so strongly.
"I'm sorry, Brother Tian, I didn't mean it, don't blame me." Zhao Qian said with a guilty conscience and gave me the meal paper.
"It's none of your business." How dare I blame you? You have become a pitiful baby now.
"Hmph." Han Shanshan snorted, as if we were definitely having an affair.
"Han Shanshan, come out with me after you finish eating." I was speechless to her. Han Shanshan had a missing string on her forehead, so maybe she was proud of me for saying too much, so I just didn't say anything and let her hum.
"What? You still want to challenge me, the criminal police team, to a duel? Let me tell you, I am very strong." Han Shanshan waved her little fist.
I laughed dumbly: "You are very strong, right? Then you can help me move the electric oven from the back of the car to the small yard."
"Haha, isn't it just an electric oven? You can't even move the oven. You are like a little rabbit. You are too weak. Okay. Seeing that you have worked hard for our team today, I will reluctantly help you.
Give me a hand." Han Shanshan disagreed, she probably thought it was the oven used for barbecue.
"Well, it's just an electric oven. Handle it with care. I'll still be counting on this thing to eat in the future. If you can't move it, you'll be worse than a little rabbit like me." I sneered.
Han Shanshan hummed again, then took the keys and went out to move the oven.
As a result, when we went out to see her after eating, she didn't take off the oven and was so tired that she was sweating all over.
When she saw me coming out, Han Shanshan shouted: "Xia Yitian! You lied to me! This is not an oven at all!"
"Isn't it written on this? Have you ever studied?" I pointed to the word "oven" on the packaging box.
