Once I had my goal, I took action quickly. I started looking for ovens all over the county. Only with a special electric ceramic oven can I bake good soul urns.
Yu Xue 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. Maybe she has that kind of thing.
What kind of high-temperature sintering furnace? That thing costs tens of thousands. Do you want to open a factory? My mother was very confused on the phone.
No, just for my hobbies, I make bottles and jars, as long as my hand is big enough.
Oh, as for the oven, I have one at home, but I couldn’t sell it for a long time. My mother replied.
I immediately got excited, went to the bank, and withdrew the remaining one thousand yuan.
When I arrived at 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.
The 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 girl Yu Xue got out of the passenger seat: Auntie! I’m coming!
Oh, Xue, why are you here with your brother Tian? Where is your dad? My mother was surprised. She thought everyone in Yitun was dead.
Brother Tian took me out of Yitun. My father is missing and has not been found, but Brother Tian will help me find him in the future. Yu Xue explained sadly, holding her mother's hand and crying.
The mother had a good relationship with the people in the village, and she treated Yu Xue like a daughter. She immediately hugged her and comforted her: Don't cry, we can't find her. Let's look for her slowly. Don't be in a hurry.
Hmm. Yu Xuetou.
Mom, where's the oven? I couldn't wait to ask.
Inside, I'll tie you up, and 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. I found that the thing was quite heavy, so in the end I had to drag it behind the car. I relied on Yu Xue and my mother to carry it to the car.
This car is very good, who owns it? When my mother saw the luxurious features in the car, her words were a bit false, she was afraid that I had stolen it.
Oh, how about your future wife, do you think it’s reliable? I sneered and said, the eldest daughter-in-law must be the sister-in-law, and the only quota for the daughter-in-law is the daughter-in-law.
Yu Xue suddenly became unhappy and looked at me with a mumble.
You talk a lot, and someone else is your wife. My mother saw that Yu Xue was very unhappy, so she told me that she knew about her sister-in-law, and like her grandmother, she did not dare to be disrespectful at all. After all, she saved her son.
.
When Yu Xue saw her mother helping her, she began to reciprocate the favor: Huh, aunt, the car belongs to sister Zhao Qian. Brother Tian saved her, so she invited us to live in her villa. She is not Brother Tian’s future wife!
Then who is his wife? Who is our Xue? The mother looked at Yu Xue like a child, she didn’t know who Zhao Qian was, but she had always liked Yu Xue.
Yu Xue's face turned red and she couldn't say a word. She wanted to get her head wet, 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 Yitun, and my mother must have guessed what happened to me.
.
Once grandma dies, Yitun will inevitably 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.
Before that, I ate with Xue on the street. After I finished, I entered the house. My family was also poor, and the goods in the shop were all brought by the dealers to sell first, and they were paid after the goods were sold.
I've cooked the rice. You can eat it later and then leave. My mother has no intention of keeping me because I have been raised by my grandmother since I was a child. She knows that I can't stay at home. In the past, I could stay at home for only ten days and a half, which was considered very good.
Longer.
Oh. My head, I took Yu Xue 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 Xue also finished eating. I took my mother aside and said, "Mom, grandma was killed by others. I won't be able to get out of Yitun this time, but I'm not the worst."
, Xue's father, Zhang Yidan, and Zhou Xuan are all dead. Zhou Xuan, sigh, they are worse than me. I can't swallow this breath. I have to take revenge.
I thought about Zhou Xuan turning someone into a walking corpse, but thinking about it was too tragic, I swallowed the words.
Mom knew that this day would come. Your life has been light since you were born, but the things you carry are heavier than anyone else. Whichever of them died because of you, you will avenge them. It is only right! Mother sighed heavily
, looked at me without any hesitation.
Mom, I understand, then you don’t care about me when I’m not around. I’m sorry. In fact, the only thing I can’t let go of is my mother.
You don’t have to worry about Mom. If you have something you can’t handle, call me back. Mom will handle it for you. My mother said resolutely, and then she took a stack of money and gave it to me: You should keep these three thousand yuan first. If it’s not enough, call Mom.
I'd better take the turnover. This money is not enough for my midnight snack. Your son can afford to drive a luxury car. He has plenty of money. I will go back to the county first. I still have a lot of things to do there. Although I am very poor now.
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 casual goodbyes, I took Yu Xue back to the county.
It was already over five when I arrived in the county. I bought a set of tools for making pottery on the way and returned to the district.
I looked at the time and saw that the two princesses had probably slept for about four or five o'clock. Depending on the situation, they would have to sleep for a while. But now it was time to eat, so I asked Yu Xue 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. Seeing that I didn't pass her chopsticks, she immediately snatched the bowl and chopsticks from my hand and started eating shamelessly: Hehe, I didn't know you were good at it.
You take care of people, no wonder since Zhao Qian followed you, I think she is more beautiful than before. She went into the toilet and didn't come out for a long time.
The mouthful of rice that Zhao Qian had just swallowed immediately spurted out, and the rice grains stuck to my face. I was so embarrassed that I thought about how to explain it.
Yu Xue 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, give me the meal paper.
It's none of your business. How dare I blame you? You've become a pitiful baby now.
Hum hum. Han Shanshan hummed, as if we must have had an affair.
Han Shanshan came out with me after eating. I was speechless to her. Han Shanshan was missing a string on her forehead. Maybe she had more strings, so she was proud of it, 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 fist.
I burst into laughter: You are very strong, right? Then you can help me move the electric oven from the back of the car to the yard.
Haha, isn't it just an electric oven? I can't even move the oven. It's like a rabbit. You're too weak. Okay. Seeing that you worked hard for our team today, I will reluctantly help you.
Han Shanshan didn't take it seriously. She probably thought it was the oven used for barbecue.
Well, it's just an electric oven. Don't worry, I will still count on this thing to eat in the future. If you can't move it, it will be worse than a 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 this written? Have you ever studied? I pointed to the word “oven” on the packaging box.
