Chapter 19

Huang Xiaojuan explained to the old man who was watching the temple that he wanted to draw a marriage lottery for Liu Yàn. The old man picked up the box and turned it around a few times in front of the Queen Mother. He explained to the Queen Mother with a whisper: Let this girl see, this year's marriage will always move, and then he will hold it in his hand and sway it.

Niu Ben looked at it, and while the old man was swaying, the signs in the box were ready to jump out, but they all shrank back between the time they were out or not.

As he was swaying like this, a Buddha sign finally couldn't contain his curiosity and jumped out and hung it on the ground. Liu Yàn was about to pick it up, but the old man's hand was faster, and he was nagging while holding it. Women could not move the sign.

Liu Yàn was so scared that he hurriedly retracted his hand, followed the old man's hand, and saw that the sign read: The fifth sign, the winning sign, the palace of the Ugly Palace: a cone of chiseling the ground, the most difficult thing to get to work hard; if you meet a rat and a sheep, you will meet and go to the sky together.

The old man took out a piece of signature paper from the table and explained: This hexagram is a cone to find the image of a spring.

Everything is difficult before it is easy.

The explanation says: If you want something, you can seek it in the West. It is better not to move it, and you can plan it immediately.

Home and home → pray for blessings, self-profit, seek wealth, transaction → harmony, marriage → harmony, Liujia → peace, travelers → late, silkworms should be planted early, six animals → damage, finding people → seeing, public lawsuits should be harmonious, migration → auspicious, lost property → missing, disease → saving stars, mountain tombs → auspicious.

The old man concluded: Although it is a winning sign, marriage can be successful. In the West, people should be born in the Year of the Sheep or Rabbit.

Huang Xiaojuan muttered, "You are born in the Year of the Sheep or Rabbit, Yànzi, you are born in the Year of the Rat, you are born in the Year of the Rat, you are born in the Year of the Ox, you are 30 years old, what about the Elderly?

The old man looked in his hand for a long time and said he was a sheep.

This sentence was like a trumpet. Liu Yàn, who was originally kneeling in front of the Buddha, jumped up suddenly, as if hanging on Niu Ben's body, and said with an excited smile: Niu Ben: Niu, see if you make any excuses, you won't want to run away now.

Huang Xiaojuan was also quite excited when she heard this explanation. Although she sometimes was jealous of Liu Yàn, she couldn't help but feel happy when she looked at Liu Yàn's joy, and watched Liu Yàn and Niu Ben's entanglement like watching a child's game.

Yang Yang looked at Liu Yi'n's excitement and shaved his hands on Liu Yi'n's face.Liu Yàn, regardless of Yang Yang's shame or not, still hugged Niu Ben and prepared to walk out of the hall.

At this time, the old man in the temple stopped them and said: Donor, give some donations to the Queen Mother.

Huang Xiaojuan remembered to draw a lottery and had to give it to her, so she was about to take out her wallet to get the money. Liu Yàn was busy taking out her small wallet, taking out a 50 yuan piece from it, and handing it generously to the old man.

Niu Ben said heartbrokenly, "Wait, I have more money here."

Liu Yàn grabbed Niu Ben's hand and said: No, it's only 50 yuan, I'm willing to pay my money.

Seeing the old man in the temple smiled and took Liu Yin's alms, he hurriedly came over a piece of paper and gave it to Liu Yin.

Liu Yàn took it lightly like a baby, folded it carefully, and carefully put it into her small wallet.

Huang Xiaojuan looked at Liu Yàn and said with a smile: Yàn is very generous today.

Liu Yàn said to Huang Xiaojuan arrogantly: Just be generous once.

Liu Yàn then said to Niu Ben: Benniu, where is your home? Is it from the West?

Niu Ben said to Liu Yàn: No, why are you so superstitious? Do you believe in such a sign? I drew a sign here on the first day of the first lunar month, but it was not effective at all.

Huang Xiaojuan and Liu Yàn both stopped going down the mountain and looked at Niu Ben and asked: You draw lots here on the first day of the first lunar month. Why haven’t you heard you say what you have? Tell me what to draw.

Niu Ben said: It seems to be a 31 sign, which means: the cold weather turns into ice, so why should you be greedy and stingy to gain fame? The king's fate is high and the short, and if one loses one, it will lead to two people.

Liu Yàn said: Then let’s go back now and let the old man explain to us.

Niu Benyi pulled Liu Yi'an and said: Why are you nervous? You see, it's getting late, and Yang Yang is going to go back to school.

Liu Yàn had to give up the idea of ​​returning to the top of the mountain and continued to walk back with his aunt and the others.

Because he drew the sign that Liu Yàn wanted, when he went down the mountain, Liu Yàn had already left behind his unhappiness with Niu Ben when he went up the mountain, and snuggled tightly in Niu Ben's arms like a lover, so that it was inconvenient for both of them to walk.

After returning to the community, Niu Ben thought about going home, but Liu Yiàn couldn't do it. He pulled Niu Ben back to Huang Xiaojuan's house. When Yang Yang was back to school, Huang Xiaojuan made some egg noodles for Yang Yang. After dinner, Yang Yang hurriedly left.

Niu Ben thought that he would go to Huawei Company after going to work tomorrow, so he wanted Liu Yàn to consult about financial management. Liu Yàn brought out a few books and explained the routine knowledge of financial management to Niu Ben in detail. Niu Ben was dizzy, but he still understood some basic financial lending principles.

Speaking of Huawei Company, Niu Ben couldn't help but think of the dirty things about Lu Miaomiao, Chen Jiameng and Wang Le. He first explained the company's affairs in detail, and then discussed them with Huang Xiaojuan and Liu Yàn.

Niu Ben said: If a woman’s relationship develops to a certain extent, will she lose her mind and do unexpected things?

Liu Yàn rushed to say: Yes, women's feelings are the most sincere and fragile.

Niu Ben said: If this is the case, then Lu Miaomiao should be alone with Chen Jiameng, because we all know that love is selfish, but the relationship between Lu Miaomiao and Wang Le shows that she is not only in love with Chen Jiameng, how can this be explained?

Huang Xiaojuan analyzed: The love we are talking about refers to normal people. Lu Miaomiao's thoughts have transformed, and they are as wild as animals. In order to satisfy their desires, they are in danger in the courtyard, and the story of killing their husbands and children will happen.

Liu Yàn continued: Yes, they are not for love, nor are they worthy of saying anything about love. They kill people just to satisfy their desires.

Niu Ben asked: Is it true that a woman’s heart is more cruel than a man?

Huang Xiaojuan smiled and said: That's not necessarily the case. War can kill tens of thousands of people, which is mainly a masterpiece of men.

Niu Ben said: Sister-in-law, you have changed your concept. What we are talking about now is the cruelty in the face of family affection, not war.

Huang Xiaojuan said: That's not sure. Ah also happened to a man killing his wife.

Liu Yàn pinched Niu Ben and said: "Boy Niu, you have violated your name again, call me aunt."

Niu Ben frowned, ignored Liu Yàn, and continued to argue with Huang Xiaojuan: I just can’t understand, can love and desire be separated?Without love, then there can be desire.

Huang Xiaojuan stood up and looked at the watch and said: It’s time to see what time it is. We won’t talk about it. I’ll go cook. You and Yàn continued to talk, but the argument is an argument, so you can’t argue.

Huang Xiaojuan went to cook, but Liu Yàn did not go to argue or help. She sat on the sofa with Niu Ben, and Niu Ben suddenly lost the energy to argue.

I turned on the TV and the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" was replaying the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions". Thinking of the argument caused by Liu Yàn when he was just going up the mountain, I stopped the channel and looked like "Dream of Red Mansions".

It was about to celebrate Xue Baochai's birthday for Grandma Jia. Baoyu saw Sister Bao's plumpness and was impulsive, thinking that if such plumpness could grow on Limei Lin's body, she might be able to touch it.

Seeing this scene, Niu Ben turned around and looked at Liu Yiàn leaning against him, thinking, if he could change positions with Huang Xiaojuan and Liu Yiàn as Baoyu thought, would he like Liu Yiàn very much?

Huang Xiaojuan made dinner and asked Niu Ben to have dinner with Liu Yàn. Seeing Niu Ben turn around and look at Liu Yàn, Liu Yàn also looked at Niu Ben. After calling Niu Ben, Niu Ben's face turned red to the back of his ears. He thought Niu Ben had desire for Liu Yàn and had emotions.

I really didn't know that Niu Ben was thinking about her when she came out. Seeing her, her face turned red.

I ate the soup of a vermicelli stewed pancake in the evening. After the meal, Niu Ben was going home. Liu Yàn said it was still early, so stay for a while.

Huang Xiaojuan didn't say anything, but her eyes clearly meant that she wanted Niu Ben to stay.

Niu Ben did not continue to persevere, so he had to sit down and chat with Huang Xiaojuan and Liu Yàn.

As they talked about the matter in the bureau, the three of them became heavier.

Huang Xiaojuan said worriedly: Lao Yang's mobile phone has been turned off these days, and I don't know what happened. It turns out that his mobile phone is on 24 hours a day, and he never turns it off, no matter when he goes out or is at home.

Niu Ben persuaded: It is possible that he has gone abroad, and his mobile phone is not enabled there.

Liu Yàn said: That should be not in the service area.

Niu Ben analyzed: It may be that it is holding a meeting, and it is very important. For example, our working group took away the mobile phone in the first lunar month and did not come back until the working group was disbanded.

Liu Yàn said: This is possible.

Huang Xiaojuan said: The matter in the bureau has not been finished, and the matter of Huawei Company has come out again. It’s really a disaster. To make matters worse, can Lao Yang survive this level?

Niu Ben said: Director Yang has a strong relationship, and these things are not big deals. At most, it is just a negligence of a leader and there will be no accident.

Huang Xiaojuan said to Niu Ben: Niu Ben, I don’t treat you as an outsider. I have prepared a passbook for Yànzi, just Yànzi’s dowry at that time. I have given it to Yànzi, and I’m not at ease with us. Yànzi, go and get it, and leave it to Niu Ben for you for a while, and use it when you get married.

Liu Yàn went upstairs to his room to get it. Huang Xiaojuan grabbed Niu Ben's hand tightly and said: Brother, I'll give you everything I have. Yàn's son is yours. If possible, I want to give birth to a son for you. You can't let my sister down.

Niu Ben also held Huang Xiaojuan's hand tightly and said emotionally: Sister, don't worry, I will not forget our feelings.

Liu Yàn got down from the building and handed over a passbook to Niu Ben.Niu Ben turned it open and saw that he was shocked. He closed it silently and put it on the coffee table and said: Sister-in-law, is it appropriate for me to hold it?

Huang Xiaojuan said quietly: Niu Ben, don’t think too much. We trust you very much. Last night, Yànzi and I chatted with you for almost the same night. Yànzi is sincere to you. I dare to guarantee you that even if you meet someone good, there will be no problem. Please believe us and give Yànzi a chance. These days, you are together more and more knowledgeable. I believe that you will accept Yànzi.And if it is true that Lao Yang and I have a few things, Yang Yang will give it to you. Yang Yang will have a good study this year. There should be no problem in getting into a key middle school. As long as you go to college and can support yourself, don’t worry. My sister believes in you. You can call me sister-in-law, sister, or aunt in the future. In fact, I treat you like a brother. I have never felt so at ease with my real brother.Didn’t you talk about Dream of the Red Chamber in the afternoon? Didn’t Qiaojie’s uncle sell Qiaojie in Dream of the Red Chamber and sell Qiaojie? It’s better for Liu Laolao to redeem Qiaojie.Brother, Yànzi is a caring child. She will treat you wholeheartedly. Don’t worry, from now on, you will see that in a few days, it will be Qingming Festival. I will ask Yànzi to go back to your hometown with you, kowtow on your parents’ grave, and recognize your father-in-law and mother-in-law. I have seen your father and are a good person.After you come back, I will go back to Yànzi's hometown again, let Yànzi's parents meet you and recognize the family. As for when you can get together, you can decide for yourself. This year is OK, and wait for another three or two years. Also, brother, if you really find a very satisfied girl in the future, tell my sister that I will not stop you. In short, Yànzi is yours, even if you are a mistress who has no name or no share.

As he said this, Huang Xiaojuan and Liu Yàn were already crying, while hugging Niu Ben tightly.

People's hearts are full of flesh. Niu Ben's heart was already sad and disgusted when he heard these things. The kind of heroic spirit of sacrificing oneself to the country was once again aroused. He looked at the two women who were close to him, one was the elder sister who was willing to love him and loved him; the other was the woman who pestered himself and insisted on being his wife.

Today, they took out all their hearts and even entrusted their homes to themselves. How could they put aside these two weak women for their own thoughts?

At this time, Niu Ben thought to himself that not to mention the beautiful girl Liu Yiàn, even other women must accept it.

Niu Ben's tears couldn't help but burst out from his eyes and flowed down his cheeks.

Huang Xiaojuan cried and continued to instruct: Brother, your sister knows very well that you are a good person, not the kind of man who is distracted and troubled by others. My sister knows that you are also very bitter. There is no brother or sister, and no one to discuss anything, so she can only stay alone in her heart. There is also such a taste. My sister knows that loneliness and pain, as well as your persistent pursuit of feelings and responsibility for marriage and family. My sister appreciates you very much, so I treat you like a younger brother.Liu Yàn followed you, and my sister was very relieved. I knew that you would not let my sister down and Liu Yàn down.Brother Ah, today the three of us have spoken out, don’t be out of sight. Today, you stay here, let’s talk well, maybe there is no chance to say tomorrow. I’ve been worried every day these days, and I have an unknown premonition. I am particularly scared. With you, I have a little comfort and support in my heart.

After hearing this, Niu Ben was already moved and hugged Huang Xiaojuan and Liu Yàn tightly. There was no personal relationship, only family affection, no desire, and only tacit understanding and communication between the soul.

Huang Xiaojuan was still saying: Brother Ah, Yàn’s disease has not yet been cured. The doctor said that there is still a virus in her body. Only if the virus is completely killed, it will not be contagious. Yàn’s medicine is still taking medicine and it should be cured soon. Let’s talk about it privately. These days, you can’t touch Yàn’s.After a few days, the bureau has some clues. You can go to a large hospital for a review and do a quantitative test for the virus. You can find out clearly.Also, Yàn, you must take care of yourself in the future. No matter what time you are, affection and morality are the norms of our lives.My aunt is a veteran. I told you these lessons from my experience and lessons at a certain price.The current social atmosphere is not good, but there are good people like Niu Ben who are not stained with the sludge, which means there are still good people, not dark. You should believe Niu Ben, don’t be petty and change your own problems.Cherish your daily life and feel the joy of life.

Liu Yàn listened carefully to my aunt's heartfelt words and felt that every word of my aunt was for herself and for her future happiness. So he admired her in his heart and silently remembered every word of my aunt's affectionate words in his heart, and kept nodding, agreeing to her arrangements and instructions.

Huang Xiaojuan said: It’s getting late, let’s go to Yàn’s bedroom, it’s getting colder here.

Niu Ben saw that it was already past 11 o'clock because he slept for a long time today and couldn't feel anything. But Huang Xiaojuan and Liu Yàn talked about it all night last night and should be very tired.

So the three of them came to Liu Yàn's bedroom, leaned against the back of the bed, and sat on the bed with her clothes.

It was late at night and the temperature in the bedroom dropped to a very low temperature. The three of them pulled open the quilt and covered it with them, and then they slowly warmed up.

Huang Xiaojuan and Liu Yàn both leaned against Niu Ben's body. Huang Xiaojuan was still saying the words deep in her heart. Liu Yàn's hand tightly grasped Niu Ben's hand, feeling that great power and warmth were flowing from Niu Ben's body to his heart.

Niu Ben's chest is so wide and powerful.

It is said that men are the backbone of the family. Only then can Huang Xiaojuan and Liu Yàn truly feel the power and role of men. That is in their hearts. Sometimes, men do not need to really do earth-shaking things.
