80s Taoism

When crossing the bridge, the onlookers in the village also retreated far away. Because there is a rule for crossing the bridge, if you bump into it at this time, you will worship your own father (meaning father-in-law).

There is such a custom here in Meizi'ao. When a child crosses the bridge, whoever bumps into it has to recognize his own father. The name is very interesting. The child's parents and biological father call each other in-laws. Children call each other their own father and mother (the name means father-in-law and mother-in-law, but in essence it should be regarded as godfather and mother-in-law).

Under normal circumstances, they greet each other in advance, and when they cross the bridge, the other party goes to hold a ceremony. If there is no such meaning, as soon as the firecrackers are set off here, others will avoid it early. Of course, it is not uncommon to accidentally bump into it. Zhang Qigao's family is on the Yinqiao, and it is still unknown whether he has a son, and naturally it is impossible to say hello to others in advance, and it is impossible for others to be willing to be the father of this child who may not exist.

As soon as Zhang Jiaohua's incantation fell, the firecrackers went off immediately. Zhang Jiwang and Zhang Qigao are responsible for erecting the wooden bridge on the ditch. Zhang Jiaohua clapped his hands, thinking that this is the end of today's affairs, thinking about whether the red envelope promised by Chen Meijuan later contained a picture of "Unity" or "Brother Steel Worker".

Who knew that someone sang this song and came over at this time.

"... Mrs. Songzi, Mrs. Hua, you give my childless shame to a fat man, and I'll give you a fat sheep for long incense, four liang of steel, measure the steel, I want a pair for my son, one will be sent to the school, and the other will be raised by him..."

The person who came was wearing black and tattered clothes, his hair was long but disheveled, and he didn't know how long he hadn't washed it. His face was also dark, and if it wasn't for the extremely white eye sockets, he wouldn't be able to see both eyeballs. He often grinned, which set off his white teeth. The two trouser legs of the trousers have become threadbare, and both legs are exposed from above the knees, without shoes, and the two feet are tightly wrapped in mud.

This person is not from Meizitang. Zhang Jiaohua didn't know him either. However, the villagers quickly called out the identity of this person.

"Chen epilepsy! Don't cross the bridge here, what are you doing here?"

The person who came was Chen Dianzi, and Mei Ziao was notoriously a Dizzy. But rarely go outside. Therefore, a child like Zhang Jiaohua who doesn't go out very much can't recognize the big celebrity Chen Zhanzi.

Epilepsy Chen giggled and sang again.

"Last year, I wanted to hold it, and this year I wanted to hold it. Master Lingfo, you hold the doll, and the doll will smile for you, and the crotch is dangling like a cow!"

I don't know if Chen epilepsy understood what others said to him, he only lived in his world. Maybe others laugh at him as crazy, but the world doesn't know that his world only has singing.

Someone who was not afraid of big trouble shouted loudly, "Qigao, according to our Meizi'ao custom. Since your family crosses the bridge and someone bumps into it, you have to recognize this in-law today."

Although this person said it as a joke, when everyone heard it, it really made sense. Crossing the bridge to recognize in-laws is a collision. Some people were unlucky, and it was not a human being who bumped into them, but a dog, so they had to bite the bullet and recognize their own father. Now, at any rate, he bumped into someone.

Zhang Qigao's family naturally didn't want to recognize a maniac as his in-laws. Zhang Qigao walked over and yelled loudly, "Dianzi Chen, go elsewhere. Don't delay our business here."

Zhang Jiaohua suddenly said loudly, "Uncle Gao, someone sent you a cub, why are you driving him away?"

Zhang Qigao, who was in the middle of the walk, stopped immediately, turned around with a wry smile and said to Zhang Jiaohua, "Jiaohua, don't make fun of uncle."

"Am I kidding you? Didn't you hear what song he sang just now? This is a good sign. If you want a cub, you should quickly recognize this in-law. Maybe you will be a father next year. If you drive him away, you will never have a cub in your life." Zhang Jiaohua said seriously.

Zhang Jiwang also said, "What the beggar said is right. Someone sent you a cub, why do you still dislike it? Don't look at Chen Zhizi as crazy. You don't know how popular he was in these ten miles and eight towns when he was in the production team. It's a pity that a good person turned into a madman. Sigh."

Zhang Qigao was still hesitating, but Chen Meijuan hurried over, "Qigao, what Beggar told you Uncle Jiwang was right. Anyway, it's a good omen. It's not like letting him come to our house to recognize an in-law. The big deal is that you gave birth to a cub, just give him some gifts during the holidays. Why do you care if he's crazy or not?"

There was a warning from Zhang Jiaohua, and there was comfort from all the people. Zhang Qigao happily recognized Chen Zhanzi as his in-laws.

Zhang Jiwang said again, "Qigao, you recognize this in-law, and treat this poor man Chen Jinzi kindly. In fact, it is to accumulate virtue for you, so that the Yin Bridge is the right way today. The beggar is right, Chen Zhenzi sent you a cub. You also treat him well. Don’t think that he is crazy and ignore others. There should be no less courtesy. Take him to your house to take a bath and change him into clean clothes. Treat him to a good meal. After that, Take care of it more. You will give your son Jade."

Everyone felt that what Zhang Jiwang said made sense.

At the beginning Zhang Qigao really looked down on this epileptic Chen, worried that if he married Chen epilepsy, he would lose face in the future. But hearing what Zhang Jiwang said, my heart became alive. He led Chen epilepsy to his home, boiled hot water, and took a bath for Chen epilepsy. Use a large stove pot (very large pot) to boil a pot of water. After washing three or four times, the water became clear. Then I went to call the haircutter in the village, and he gave Chen Epilepsy a haircut. He took clean clothes for Chen Epilepsy to put on.

This Chen epilepsy is also strange, you call him crazy. When doing these things, he didn't struggle at all. Let’s say he’s not crazy. He didn’t go to the table when eating. He brought a bowl of rice and squatted in front of the porch to eat.

Zhang Jiaohua felt that Chen Dianzi was really strange. It seemed that this person's qi was purer than that of ordinary people in the village. How could such a pure person be so insane?

Chen epilepsy had eaten, and he did not stay at their house as Zhang Qigao's family worried. As soon as I put the bowl away, I wiped my mouth with the sleeve of the clean clothes I just put on, and then I started singing.

"In the world, if you are single, you don't want to marry, only the sister who is facing you is very worried. In recent years (last year) I was a bachelor and this year I am still a bachelor. It is hard to be single when I go out for three or five days, and smoke comes out of the house; I pick it up twice in a big pit, and I get a black snake; Damn, other people's wives and mothers-in-law don't get it; only my husband has a high ambition to be single."

This is Meizi'ao's single love song, and many people in the village can sing it, but none of them can sing so well as Chen Zhanzi.
