When Ruan Qing woke up, he remembered that he talked too much last night and forgot to tell Nian Qi about it.
No, it’s not her fault, but her dad’s fault!
He didn't even call her back yesterday!
As soon as Ruan Qing woke up and thought about this, he immediately called his father and went to investigate. No one answered.
Elderly people find it difficult to get up early, so they might be practicing Tai Chi sword at this time. Ruan Qing dialed again, and this time someone answered: "I'm practicing my sword. Why are you urging me so early in the morning?"
"Why didn't you call me back yesterday?" Ruan Qing said coquettishly, opening her eyes and telling lies, "I've been waiting all night."
Then he asked, "Did you ask me to ask?"
"I asked." Dad Ruan said, "Your seventh uncle kept talking to me on the phone for three hours. Let me tell you..."
"No, no, no, no, I don't want to hear it!" As soon as she heard that her father wanted to repeat to her what Uncle Seventh said about "the Zhang family's grandson is divorced" and "the Li family's boy has given birth to a second child and is a daughter." Ruan Qing's scalp went numb, "I just want to know about the Taoist temple I asked about. Can you help me find out if it is true and is it still there now?"
"I asked." Dad Ruan had to be brought back to the topic, "What your seventh uncle said is true."
"There used to be more than a dozen Taoist priests in that Taoist temple, but later they all went down the mountain to fight the Japanese. Only a small Taoist boy was left to guard the house, but none of them came back."
"Then the little Taoist boy was the only one left. According to your seventh uncle, that Taoist boy was almost thirty years older than him. He heard it as a legend when he was a child."
"After the Four Olds were destroyed, the young generals heard that there was a Taoist temple in the mountains, so a group of people went into the mountains to destroy it. As a result, they got lost in the mountains. In the end, it was the little Taoist boy who took them out of the mountains."
"It sounds good, he has good genes. Let him get married and have children as soon as possible, preferably a son." Ruan Qing said, "When his son turns 18 and becomes an adult, remember to call me and I can go and meet him. , I just like young boys.”
"Oh, me?" Ruan Qing started to talk nonsense, "I'm going on vacation recently, and I want to find a place to collect scenery and get some inspiration. Suddenly I remembered my hometown, so I asked."
"What are you doing?" Ruan's father muttered, and then asked her, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"
Father Ruan was so angry that he fell back and said, "Be more serious!"
"Hello? Hello?" Ruan's father heard that she was silent. He said "Hello" several times to bring Ruan Qing back to her senses.
Ruan Qing did some math in his mind: "Then if...that person is still alive, he must be over ninety years old, right?"
"Are you going on vacation?" Dad's voice was even louder. "That's good, come back and see us. Let me tell you, I have a child of an old colleague. Let me tell you, this child is an outstanding student. He is a top student at Princeton. , I have been in country M for the past few years. I am 35 this year and decided to return to China to start a business..."
Ruan Qing couldn't help but bite his knuckles.
"Your seventh uncle did some calculations. At that time, the little Taoist boy must have been almost forty years old. At that time, your seventh uncle was only a ten-year-old child. The children in the village gathered around the young generals and asked about things in the mountains. Those people I refused to say it at first, but then I said, hey, guess what, it’s so mysterious. I’m telling you, it’s like a novel or a martial arts drama..."
"Your seventh uncle was obsessed with this matter when he was a child. He always wanted to go to the mountains to learn from his masters. But the road leading to the Taoist temple in the mountains had long been abandoned and no one could find it. One time, your seventh uncle himself I got lost in the mountains. Fortunately, I brought enough dry food and clothes, so I didn't freeze or starve to death. Later, I managed to get out, but my father, your great-grandfather's cousin, beat me up and never came back. I have found a Taoist temple in the mountains."
"We're serious." Ruan Qing played with her nails and said leisurely, "If there are any young guys in their late teens or early twenties who are good-looking and in good shape, please pay attention to me. I'll ask for leave. See you later. Forget about the scheming uncle of Thirty-Five-Six."
She put down her hands, raised her eyelids, and said coolly: "You turned around and teamed up with my biological parents to plot against me. I'm scared, I'm scared. The little boy is still simple and innocent, so he can be at ease."
Father Ruan thought it was more or less the same: "That's right. He's thirty years older than your seventh uncle."
"But since that time when the young generals wanted to smash the Taoist temple, the man in the mountain has never come out again. It has been many years."
Being over ninety is actually quite rare in cities, where more young people die suddenly. But in rural areas, occasionally there will be one or two centenarians.
"..." Ruan Qing rubbed his forehead, "Dad, can you tell me the important point quickly?"
Ruan Qing snorted coldly.
Father Ruan suddenly softened and said in a low voice: "Didn't I say it's over now? I won't mention it anymore. I won't mention it anymore."
"Ahem, it's true, young people are really impatient." Ruan's father muttered, and then said, "It's the little Taoist boy, no, he is already a middle-aged Taoist. He said he can fly over walls and fly over walls. One of the young generals fell off the cliff. He saved them all. If it weren't for him, these young generals would have died in the mountains."
"It is said that in the early years, the Taoist boy was willing to go down the mountain and exchange some mountain goods for some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and old clothes. People in the village asked him why he didn't come out to live. He said that he would guard the mountain gate and wait for his master and brothers to come back. "
Ruan's father said again and again: "We're all on vacation. Come back and have a look. Your mother was still talking about it last night."
"Didn't I just go back during the Dragon Boat Festival? I won't go back." Ruan Qing refused.
I want to arrange a blind date for her as soon as I get back, which is annoying.
The key is that her mother still refuses to admit her mistake. She always felt that she could work in the back office to support her husband's business and take care of the children and do housework. She could do everything under the conditions back then. Now the conditions are a hundred times better than before. Why can't Ruan Qing accept the life they arranged for her? Woolen cloth.
Once Ruan Qing goes back, the two of them will not be able to kiss for more than three days, and they will definitely quarrel.
Father Ruan sighed and asked, "Are you short of money?"
"I'll take it if you want it." Ruan Qing is not a fool. Why don't you take money if you give it to someone
"If you don't want to give it, I don't have any problem with donating it to charity when you get old." She said nonchalantly, "I won't starve to death anyway."
"I have worked hard all my life to make money for others, and it's all for you." Dad Ruan said angrily. Talking about the little lover in the past life and the little cotton-padded jacket in this life, it is basically the debtor from the previous life who came to pay off the debt in this life.
He was still angry after hanging up the phone, so he angrily transferred 200,000 pocket money to Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing woke up late today and talked on the phone in the room when he woke up.
Twenty-seven was practicing in the living room, with one hand on the ground, his body parallel to the ground, hanging straight in the air, motionless. I plan to wait until she comes out to wash up before making breakfast for her. The ingredients are all ready.
Ruan Qing's voice was not quiet in the bedroom. She could hear her clearly on the phone.
His ears twitched when he heard "eighteen-nine" and "young man". It turns out that Ruan Qing likes young people. Thinking back carefully, Zhao Hao is indeed very young. Just look at that face and you can tell it's very tender...
Twenty-seven exerted force, his body flew into the air, and he changed his hand and continued.
It's really distressing. Although he has never been married and is still married for the first time, he is indeed a bit older.
In their country, men must grow beards when they reach this age. Fortunately, he was restricted by his profession, so he didn't grow a beard to make him appear younger for the convenience of disguise.
But will Ruan Qing dislike him because of his age
Just as he was distressed, he heard Ruan Qing say "calculation" or something like that. Twenty-seven turned his head slightly and looked at Ruan Qing's bedroom door.
What plot, who plotted against her? Why are you still uniting with her biological parents
Who is she talking to on the phone? The tone sounded quite intimate, completely different from the tone she usually used when making work calls. His tone of voice seemed to be quite powerful, but in fact, he had a coquettish and playful energy that he couldn't hide, as if he had suddenly turned into a child.
Ruan Qing came out of the bedroom after making the phone call: "Is there breakfast?"
Twenty-seven is already wearing an apron: "Yes, you wash up first."
Ruan Qing casually said, "I have something to tell you after breakfast."
Hey, what could it be
Twenty-seven watched Ruan Qing enter the bathroom, and then went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
When the oil pan is hot, wrap the noodles made last night in plastic wrap and ferment overnight. Cut them into small strips, twist them together and put them into the oil pan.
It swelled up as soon as I saw it.
It swells so fast, which is good for facial hair.
Ruan Qing came out after washing up and saw a plate of exquisite small fried dough sticks on the dining table. They were golden and the heat was very well controlled, which made people very appetizing.
I picked up one and took a bite. I was pleasantly surprised: "Which brand of quick-frozen fried dough sticks are these? They taste better than the ones I bought before."
Ruan Qing's refrigerator contained some quick-frozen food, which had been gradually eliminated by Twenty-Seven.
The ancients thought this technology was good and could preserve food for a longer period of time, but from a gourmet perspective, it was really not good.
"It's not quick-frozen. The noodles I made yesterday were made all night, and they were fried just right in the morning." Nianqi said, "Sister Niu said that the fried dough sticks in the breakfast shop are also made this way."
It has only been eleven days since he came to modern times, and this ancient man has already evolved to be able to fry something as complicated as fried dough sticks.
Ruan Qing was amazed.
After breakfast, she said, "Now I have an idea about your identity."
She told him her idea, and Twenty-Seven asked, "Will it work?"
Ruan Qing said: "If it doesn't work, there is no other way. You don't know how strict household registration checks are now. Now that we are connected to the Internet, it is not something you can do just by spending a little money in the past."
"I've checked the relevant policies. There are several situations in which you can apply for a new household registration, such as those with birth defects, those who have been missing for many years and have their household registration canceled, etc. You can't do it. Because you have to prove that you are in this situation."
"This proof does not mean that you are in whatever situation you say you are. You have to use a big red seal to prove it."
Ruan Qing gave Twenty-Seven some science knowledge.
Take superbirths as an example. If you want to prove that you are a superbirther who has never registered as a registered permanent resident, you cannot just say it with bare teeth. You must have relevant units, such as the street village committee, the local family planning committee, health bureau, and hospital. This category involves the government agencies where you were born and where your parents' household registration is, stamping a big red seal to endorse you.
However, stamping means taking responsibility. No one will praise you for your work, and if something goes wrong, it will be your own. The grassroots are the least willing to bear this kind of responsibility.
So it’s easy to say that in the village committee and the like, everyone in the village knows each other, and in the streets and the like, who knows whom, the first step is to prove your situation to the streets.
However, you want the street to prove your situation, so you come to the street. If you can prove it yourself, you don’t need the street. So this is an endless loop.
This is the legendary "prove that I am who I am" that can break a person's legs.
