Reborn in the red age

After spending the night at his mother-in-law's house and enjoying the warm hospitality of his father-in-law's family, Qingfeng Li's family of four left Suzhou by train the next day.

Taking advantage of the few days of vacation left, when Li Qingfeng returned home, he saw Li's mother sitting cross-legged on the ground with a small stainless steel pot for cooking on her head, as if wearing a steel helmet.

Qingfeng Li took a quick look and suddenly became happy: "Hey, Mom, are you practicing qigong?"

"Lao San and his family are here. You go inside first. Mom is accepting the aura from the universe. I will entertain you after I finish practicing." When Mother Li, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, heard the movement, she opened her closed eyes slightly and did not get up. meaning, he said calmly.

"Okay, okay, then you can accept the cosmic aura there."

Qingfeng Li did not interrupt Mother Li's Qigong practice. He winked at Hu Jiabao and led Chu Yi, who was curiously looking at Mother Li, toward the house.

After returning to the house and putting down his luggage, Hu Jiabao looked outside through the window and whispered: "Didn't you say that qigong is a lie? Why didn't you persuade my mother-in-law to practice qigong?"

"How can I advise you? You won't get anything wrong with practicing qigong anyway. My mother can practice it if she wants to," Li Qingfeng shrugged and said helplessly.

In the past few years, qigong has not yet reached the public on a large scale. In the past two years, qigong has ushered in real craziness.

This year, in addition to the "Trio" of special powers and the 507 Research Institute directed by Mr. Qian, there are also some research institutes that have joined the research on qigong and have pioneered the integration of electronics and qigong to develop a new technology called electronics. The products of Qigong have completely detonated the entire land of China, and Qigong fever has also spread to this small county this year.

Now that the big scientists have spread their word, ordinary people naturally believe it. Now, no matter men, women, old or young, no matter what profession they are engaged in, they all have a crazy obsession with Qigong.

Even with the fire that broke out in the Northeast this year, a so-called qigong master boasted that the fire in Daxinganling was extinguished by his own mind, and many people believed it.

Mother Li came back from practicing qigong and hugged her grandson. The granddaughter kissed her twice. Without saying a few words to Qingfeng Li and her husband, she took her iron pot filled with auras from the universe and cooked mung bean porridge for the first grade of junior high school. Come and beat the heat.

"Mom, if you want to cook mung bean soup in that pot, you'd better wash it."

Hu Jiabao, who went to the kitchen to help, saw Mother Li holding the pot she had just taken off her head, adding mung beans to make soup without even washing it. Hu Jiabao, who loves cleanliness, couldn't help but advise.

Mother Li's hands kept moving: "Oh, Jiabao, you don't understand. Masters have said that a pot that has received the energy of the universe cannot be washed. Once the pot is washed, the energy in the pot will flow away with the water."

"Mom, it's better to wash it. The kid's stomach is not good. If I don't wash the pot, I'm worried about diarrhea on the first day of the new year."

It's hot now, and you'll definitely sweat a lot when you practice qigong outside. The iron pot is placed on your head.

When Hu Jiabao thought that the food cooked in this pot was for himself and his children, Hu Jiabao couldn't bear it and insisted on persuading Mother Li to wash the pot.

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Mother Li's face, who was still happy, immediately disappeared.

That is to say, Hu Jiabao is the daughter-in-law, and Li's mother has no habit of bullying her daughter-in-law. If she were her own daughter, a barrage of quarrels would come out of her mouth.

Mother Li stiffened her face, forced out a smile, responded, and took the loofah pulp used for washing pots to wash the small stainless steel pot filled with the spiritual energy of the universe.

After the mung bean soup was cooked, while Hu Jiabao was taking the two children upstairs, Li's mother looked at Qingfeng Li with a straight face and said angrily: "Drink, drink, drink, I just know how to drink, but I don't know how to care." Take care of your wife”

"???"

Li Qingfeng, who was enjoying mung bean soup with ice to relieve the heat, was stunned for a moment when he heard Mother Li's words. He put down his rice bowl and asked in confusion: "Why did Jiabao offend you?"

"Why did you offend me? I kindly used the cosmic spiritual energy to cook porridge for you. Your wife dislikes that my pot is not clean. She also said that drinking it will cause diarrhea on the first day of the new year. Do you think your wife did the right thing?" Mother Li was furious. He told Qingfeng Li about the scene that just happened in the kitchen.

After being silent for a long time, Li Qingfeng wanted to say that Hu Jiabao did something right, but he just soaked the stew in your sweaty iron pot. Not to mention Hu Jiabao, I also despise it.

But looking at Mother Li's huffing look, Li Qingfeng's words turned into: "It's really unreasonable to treat your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. Wait a minute, I will go up and teach Jiabao a lesson now. How could you do this?" Woolen cloth"

As he said that, Qingfeng Li started to walk upstairs with an angry look on his face, as if he wanted to vent his anger on Mother Li's behalf.

Mother Li was stunned by the behavior of her third child. Seeing that Qingfeng Li was going to teach Hu Jiabao a lesson to vent his anger, although she didn't believe it in her heart, she quickly took Qingfeng Li's arm and persuaded her. stand up.

"Hey, third child, why have you become so angry in the past two years? Jiabao doesn't understand the benefits of qigong, and she doesn't know that the cosmic aura can strengthen the body. She is a doctor who talks about hygiene, and she also thinks about the children."

Mother Li is not an evil mother-in-law. If the young couple really fight over this matter, how will she have the honor to see her in-laws in the future?

With Mother Li's persuasion, Li Qingfeng sat down again and said angrily: "It's you who persuaded me. Otherwise, I would have taught Hu Jiabao a lesson today. This bitch has been here for three days." Even you dare to despise me."

"Keep it down, keep your voice down, don't let Jiabao hear it"

After some pulling and pulling, Li's mother took the initiative and said that she would not use the small pot that had just received the cosmic aura to cook porridge during the few days that Hu Jiabao was at home, lest the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would have any quarrel over this matter.

With Mother Li's guarantee, Qingfeng Li was overjoyed. After muttering a few more words, he found an excuse to go upstairs to his room.

When they came to the room, Hu Jiabao was coaxing the first and fifteenth grade children to take a nap.

Qingfeng Li touched the heads of the two children and showed off to Hu Jiabao, licking his face: "Daughter-in-law, I know about the kitchen. I told my mother. She has realized her mistake and told her I promise that I will never cook with an unwashed pot again. When I came up, my mother asked me to bring you a message, saying that she had realized her mistake."

Hu Jiabao, who was coaxing the child, said nothing, but looked at Qingfeng Li with strange eyes, staring at him blankly.

The look in his eyes made Qingfeng Li feel a little hairy. He raised his hand and waved it in front of Hu Jiabao's eyes: "Wake up, what's your expression?"

"Well, I didn't close the door just now, and your voice was a bit loud downstairs. I heard the conversation between you and mom." "Huh? Haha."

This was a bit embarrassing. Qingfeng Li's old face felt slightly warm, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment.

In the evening, after receiving the news that Li Qingfeng was back, Boss Li drove the car assigned to him by the bureau, picked up Li Hongmei's family and rushed over. The whole family, except the eldest sister's family who was far away in the provincial capital, had a reunion dinner together.

After the family dinner, the aunt and sister-in-law gathered together to talk about the children. The three men from the Li family came to the study room to discuss matters at the invitation of Father Li.

"Well, the third child, you work in Sijiu City and know many people. Do you have any connections in our city or province?" When they entered the room, before Li's father could speak, Mr. Li started licking his lips. Face spoke first.

Boss Li, who has tasted the easy rise to power, is no longer satisfied with wandering around the county and wants to move to a bigger stage.

Understanding what Boss Li meant, Qingfeng Li shook his head: "No, don't think about my connections, I can't help you."

"Oh, okay, it's okay. I'll think of a solution myself." Boss Li nodded with some disappointment.

Father Li was very dissatisfied that his two sons wanted to run away.

Forget about his younger son, he was assigned to stay in Sijiu City after graduating from school. Seeing that his eldest son also wanted to run away, Father Li was immediately unhappy.

He immediately patted the table and said dissatisfied: "Boss, your thoughts are very dangerous. You are not serving the people when you work there? What? Are you looking down on our small county that gave birth to you and raised you? This is your official-oriented mentality. He is causing trouble and has left our party."

"Stop, stop, stop, no, Dad, there are only three of us, father and son, in the house. Don't use the official tone you used in the newspaper on both of us." Before Father Li could finish speaking, Boss Li hurriedly yelled. Break.

"The boss is right, Dad, I'm not talking about you, you are the boss of a small factory. Why are you speaking in such a bureaucratic tone? Isn't this a joke?" Li Qingfeng said in agreement: "Besides, there are three people in the room, I You and the boss are both party members, and you are just a member of the masses. It’s not appropriate for you to speak in official style with the two of us."

The two brothers sang in harmony, which made Father Li so angry that he wanted to retort, but his mouth remained open for a long time, but no words came out.

Father Li, who had nothing to say, left a message to Boss Li: "Huh, boss, if you want to find a relationship, go find it. Anyway, I won't give you a penny by then. I'll see what progress you can make." Father Li, who consciously saved some face, left gracefully.

Li's father left, and neither brother retained him.

Qingfeng Li felt that these words were not meant for him, and it was not his turn to stop Li's father and say good words to persuade him to stay.

Boss Li didn't care at all. Even if he couldn't get money from his family to pave the way for himself, it would be fine. He also had investments in his brother-in-law. Wouldn't it be easy to get some progress money?
In this way, neither of the brothers stopped them and allowed Father Li to leave in anger.

After Father Li left, the two brothers stared at each other in the study. Finally, Qingfeng Li spoke first: "No, why are we in the study?"

"I don't know, my dad let me into the study, but he left before we even said anything." Boss Li shrugged, not knowing what he was going to do when he entered the study.

Just when the brothers were about to leave, Father Li, who had just gone out, walked in again with a dark face.

"I have something to inform you two. I am going to renovate the ancestral grave at home. Then I will go back to my hometown to burn incense and kowtow."

"Why build the ancestral grave properly?"

"Yes, I remember that the land of the ancestral grave should belong to someone else's family, right? If we build the tomb in a big way, will other people be willing?"

The Li family used to live in the countryside. When Grandpa Li Qingfeng's generation moved into the city, his ancestral graves were still in the countryside.

"You don't have to worry about the land. How much space does it take to rebuild the ancestral tomb? At the worst, you can give the landlord some money. This can be easily solved."

Father Li sat back on the stool, lit a cigarette, and then said: "Two days ago, I heard someone from my hometown say that someone often hangs around our ancestral grave. I suspect that someone wants to steal our family's luck. , I just want to repair the ancestral tombs, and find someone to help me look after the ancestral tombs, so as not to ruin the feng shui of our ancestral tombs."

With the reappearance of ghosts and monsters in the past few years, coupled with the spread of Hong Kong businessmen and the content of TV series, Feng Shui has become popular again.

In the past ten years or so, the Li family's children have first been admitted to school and then made a fortune, so there is a real possibility that they will be targeted.

The two brothers looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although Qingfeng Li, a guy who has lived in two lifetimes, has never seen it, he definitely believes in the theory of Feng Shui, luck, gods and ghosts. Qingfeng Li will not have any objections to what Li's father said.

After pondering for a moment, Qingfeng Li was the first to express his position: "I have heard that some people thought that the feng shui of other people's graveyards was good, so they secretly dug up the graves in the middle of the night and put the bodies of their elders in them. The safety of ancestral graves really needs to be taken care of. Protect"

With the support of the most learned son in the family, Father Li's face flashed with a smile, and he turned to look coldly at his eldest son, asking for his opinion.

Boss Li didn't have any objections to the matter of building the ancestral tomb. Since everyone in the family agreed, he didn't want to be such a bad person, so he immediately agreed and supported Li's father in building the ancestral tomb with great fanfare.

With the consent of his two sons, Li's father nodded with satisfaction and said that tomorrow he would let the brothers follow him to meet with Li's father's brothers first, and then return to the village together to gather brothers of the same clan to discuss rebuilding the ancestral tomb.

Early the next morning, Li's father asked Li Qingfeng to ride his bicycle out, and called all his uncles and brothers to his home. He told them about the situation at the ancestral tomb, and expressed that he wanted to overhaul the ancestral tomb and ask someone to take care of the family cemetery.

The discussion among this independent branch of the Li family went very smoothly. When Father Li said that he would take care of the money himself and no one else would have to contribute a penny, the rest of the family agreed with Father Li's proposal to overhaul the ancestral tomb.

After taking care of his big family, Li's father sent people back to his hometown village to inform his brothers and elders that he wanted to rebuild the ancestral tomb. It would depend on when they had time, and everyone would get together to talk about it. (End of chapter)
