My village can't be like this

Chapter 607: Qi Qi Gets His Favorite Car
After lunch at noon, the little guy sat on a chair and played with Xiaohu and several big dogs.

But I don’t know when it started, this naughty little guy actually fell asleep quietly leaning against the back of the chair.

The dogs surrounded him obediently as usual, so Zhang An didn't notice anything unusual.

It was not until they heard even snoring sounds in the chair that the family realized that the little guy had fallen asleep.

"Xiao An, what happened to Qiqi? How come he fell asleep in such a short while?"

Seeing this, Wang Fang quickly hugged the little guy in her arms and said with great heartache.

"Is it possible that some old man in the village is teasing him outside? No, I have to pour some water and scold these unlucky people."

Normally, the little guy is always very energetic and never takes a nap at noon.

This happened suddenly today and scared Wang Fang, thinking that her precious grandson had encountered something unclean outside.

As he said this, he got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl to pour water and rice for the little guy, and set up his chopsticks.

In the village, this is a very normal thing.

No matter who dreams about a deceased elder at home or outside at night, or feels sleepy all day and cannot wake up, or suddenly falls ill for no reason, the elders at home will do this first.

Although it doesn't work every time after pouring water and setting up chopsticks, few people will sneer at such a thing.

When Zhang An was young, he saw such things several times and was deeply impressed.

Once when he was in elementary school, a classmate in his class fell asleep during class.

When the teacher at the podium found out, he was very unhappy. He walked over to shake the child awake, and then shouted at him to stand up.

But after the teacher shook Zhang An for a long time, he still showed no sign of waking up.

His teacher was frightened at the time. Zhang An was sitting next to him and saw it very clearly.

Later, the class was not continued and the teacher asked someone to call the adult from the sleeping child's family.

We were discussing whether to send him to the hospital or something.

But when their parents arrived at the school, they found that the child was just asleep. There was nothing wrong with him, he just couldn't wake up.

At that time, most families were not well off and had many children.

So he didn't take it seriously and didn't plan to send him to the hospital. He just carried him home and wanted to wait for him to wake up.

At that time, it was very difficult to go to the hospital from Changqing Village.

Because there is only an old road and there are not many cars, if you want to go there, you can only walk over the mountains and hills.

But the matter did not end there. Zhang An slept for a whole day and night, and did not seem to be waking up.

At this time, their grandmother quickly invited the most famous fortune teller from the nearby villages to come home.

After looking around for a few times, the witch said that the child had encountered an unclean thing and that an old widower who had died not long ago in Changqing Village was playing a joke on him, which was why this happened.

So the witch asked their family to prepare a bowl, half a bowl of water, a few grains of white rice, three chopsticks, three peppers, and three straw cores.

Then he started pouring water and rice, setting up the chopsticks, making hand gestures while chanting an unknown spell under his breath.

It was strange that when the chopsticks stood upright, the witch made some wishes on their behalf and then poured the rice porridge on the road in front of their door.

Less than three minutes later, the guy who had been sleeping like a vegetable and couldn't be awakened no matter how hard you called him woke up with his eyes open, but he looked a little lethargic.

Zhang An's teacher didn't believe in this stuff at first because he was still young.

But after seeing it with her own eyes and experiencing it personally, she was stunned.

Similar things happen in every village, but not all things are effective when done this way.

However, although most people say that this is pure superstition, only after experiencing it themselves will they realize that it is better to believe it than not to believe it.

This is also the reason why many young people in the village, although they do not believe it in their hearts, will not stop them when their elders in the family want to do it.

"Okay, mom, there's no need to be like this. Qiqi is just tired from playing so much these past two days. Just let him get some sleep."

But this time Zhang An did not let his mother do that, because he knew that his son was just tired from playing.

After all, the uncles who doted on him the most at home were on vacation these two days, and they played with him so much that they forgot to eat and sleep.

After returning with Zhang An last night, I was taken by Li Yao and the others to play hide-and-seek. I woke up early this morning and was taken out by Zhang Bin and the others.

The child is only a little over one year old, and no matter how energetic he is, he cannot withstand such torture.

Wang Fang was skeptical about this, but still frowned, looking worried.

"You really don't have to do this. Mom, don't you think about it? What does Qiqi do for his grandfather? Who dares to mess with him?"

In the end, Zhang An was so helpless that he even moved out old man Zhang Yihang.

Although the little guy was still young, Zhang Yixing received the Tongzi Lu ceremony for him at Sanqing Temple when he was a hundred days old.

After hearing this, Wang Fang let go.

But she did not take it lightly. She stayed by the bed when she carried the little one to bed.

At the same time, he held a palm-leaf fan in his hand, not for fanning himself because of the hot weather, but to drive away flies.

In the afternoon, two hours later, the little guy on the bed stretched out his two little hands, yawned very loudly, and then woke up leisurely.

Although there was still some eye boogers in the corners of the little guy's eyes at this moment, his big watery eyes were enough to show that he had a very comfortable nap.

Wang Fang was completely relieved when she saw that her grandson had woken up and there was nothing unusual about him.

"I have to say hello to Xingwazi and the others from now on. Qiqi is still young, so we can't let him go too crazy."

But she still had some complaints about this, complaining that her nephews played too hard with the little ones.

Zhang An couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this. He knew very well what kind of personality his son had.

Because I was spoiled by my grandparents since I was a child, I had to have whatever I wanted.

He wanted to play by himself, and anyone who dared not take him along would be breaking the rules in this big family, so Zhang Xing and the others couldn't be blamed at all.

The little guy who just woke up was very energetic. As soon as Wang Fang took him to wash his face, he started clamoring to go out to play.

Wang Fang was both angry and amused. As soon as she finished speaking, the little guy disagreed.

Moreover, he is the only grandson in the family, and he is the apple of their eyes. Finally, they had no choice but to agree to take Xiao Siqi out to play.

"Forget it, Mom. You just stay home and watch him. I'll take him there."

Zhang An had nothing to do at home, so he took over the task of playing with the prince from his mother.

The main reason is that if Wang Fang is not at home, he has to be responsible for greeting other people who come to buy things. This kind of thing is very tedious, and he has never liked it. It is more relaxing to take the little guy out for a stroll.

"Then you take him with you. Be a little sensible and don't play too much or Qiqi will get tired."

Wang Fang thought about it and agreed, but still gave Zhang An some advice.

"I understand. I will make sure he can't even walk on the road."

Zhang An replied to his mother helplessly, and carried the little one on his shoulders as he went out.

The little guy, who always liked to stand high and see far, was even happier now. He rode on Zhang An's shoulders and kept calling "Dad".

When we arrived at the river, there were no longer as many people on the paths on both sides as in the morning.

Because the bamboo pole-walking skill was only a morning show, it had already ended by now and most people had already left.

Apart from some families who wanted to rent boats to cruise the river, the only other people were those who wanted to go to the lotus pond for fun.

Seeing that there were not many people on the road, Zhang An carried his son into the field, and then released the fireflies in the space along the way.

After all, it is still daytime now, and if you pay a little attention, others will not be able to notice the movements of the fireflies.

If he waited until night and released so many fireflies at once, in the pitch-black night, anyone would be able to tell that something was wrong unless they were blind.

The little creatures are very clever and active. As soon as they come out, they quickly hide in the grass and soil.

Because it is still daytime, there are many animals that prey on them. If they don't hide quickly, they will become snacks.

Zhang An stopped only after releasing them all the way to the vicinity of Niuguntang, because most of the fireflies that had grown in the space overnight had been released by him, with only a small number left inside.

But this is already a lot, just enough to include the barbecue area where Huang Ming's family does their own barbecue.

Anyway, this place is the most crowded at night. Further ahead, there are only three or five people coming out for a walk.

After all, there is not much to do in the lotus pond at night, and there are a lot of aquatic plants, so there are a lot of mosquitoes there at night. Staying there late at night is really asking for trouble.

When Zhang An took his son to the river for a play and came back, he found an uninvited guest in his house.

"Hey, where have you been? I haven't seen you for almost half a year, right?"

That’s right, the person in the yard was Chen Ze who had disappeared for a long time. This guy not only came by himself, but also brought his Laizhou Red.

The Laizhou Red, which used to be as fat as a ball, has now become thinner and is almost as small as a normal dog.

I have to say that Laizhou red in its normal form is quite beautiful, especially the one owned by Chen Zeyang, which has a relatively high-quality appearance.

It’s just that such a good dog was really ruined by this guy Chen Ze.

Even the big tiger, who always claimed that he was not interested in women, could accept its approach.

Although they had met each other on a trip into the mountains together before, Dahu didn't give him a good look at that time.

Being able to do this now can only mean the excellence of this Laizhou Red.

But if they really get together, it would be a good thing, otherwise Da Hu would really be single for the rest of his life.

"It's been quite a while indeed. Now my nephew can run on his own."

Chen Ze recalled that when he was still alive, the little guy was still very small and was carried on Wang Fang's back every day.

As he said that, he reached out and teased little Siqi, but because he had been idle for so long, little Siqi had long forgotten about his existence.

Seeing him reaching out his hand, she immediately ran and hid behind Zhang An, then looked at him as if he were a bad uncle.

Seeing this, Chen Ze could only touch his nose awkwardly.

"Haha, it's because you haven't been here for so long that even our family can't remember you."

Zhang An laughed, pulled the little guy in front of him, then pointed at Chen Ze and spoke to him.

"Don't be afraid, Qiqi. This is your Uncle Chen. Come, call him Uncle Chen."

"Uncle Chen."

Although the little guy couldn't remember Chen Ze, he still called out obediently.

"Okay, okay, just with this one sentence, your Uncle Chen's constant nagging about you is not in vain. Here, this is the gift Uncle Chen brought you."

The little guy's crisp call of "Uncle Chen" made Chen Ze very happy.

Then he opened the large cardboard box next to him, revealing a children's jeep fixed on a wooden frame.

"Zhang An, go find some tools to help. This thing is fixed too well and it's not easy to take it apart."

Chen Ze tried several times but failed to remove the wooden strips on the outside, so he had to ask Zhang An to find tools.

Finally, Zhang An found some tools and took apart the small jeep. It was really big. Even if little Siqi grew to be two or three years old, he could still sit in it.

Zhang An originally thought that this was just like any other children's toy car. Although one could sit in it, it would only move if someone pushed or pulled it.

But when Chen Ze took out the remote control, Zhang An discovered that there was a very large battery in the car.

Not only can it be controlled remotely, but you can also sit inside and drive it yourself.

"Where did you get this thing? It's not sold in the provincial capital."

Although there are many toy cars for children nowadays, products like this are rare, even in provincial capitals.

Otherwise, Ding Yi would definitely go to that supermarket to purchase goods.

Needless to say, this thing is definitely not cheap. Just the big battery alone would cost quite a bit of money.

Moreover, the material of that small jeep is not ordinary plastic. It is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

"Hey, I brought them back from Hong Kong Island. Didn't you ask me where I was going? My dad sent me to Hong Kong Island to study hard during this period of time. I just came back recently after completing my studies. This car looks pretty good to me, so I brought two back, one for Xiao Siqi and one for Xiao Zijie."

As Chen Ze said this, he pushed the small jeep in front of the little guy.

"Nephew, come and see if you like it."

The little guy is no stranger to cars, not to mention that there are two real cars at home.

He himself has two or three children's toy cars, because his grandmother bought him one some time ago, and then Yan Qian brought a bicycle, and Ding Yi bought him a kart.

So the little guy is now very familiar with cars, and he is staring at the little jeep intently.

Because this car is so big, much bigger than all his cars, it is hard for a child not to like it.

Including this one, the little guy already has four cars of his own. At this age, he definitely surpasses 99 percent of his peers.
