When she came back from school at noon that day, Mrs. Xin summoned Xin Mao and Xiangmaozi to come to her.

　　The two people were arguing over the results of this quiz.

　　Xin Mao said, "I have already obtained the second grade this time, and my husband praised my progress."

　　Xiangmaozi said "poof" to his brother without mercy, "That's because sir has no expectations for you anymore, so you are so proud of me. Let me ask you, why did you make so many mistakes when you silently wrote the history of Yinzhou?"

　　Xin Mao argued forcefully, "I remembered it, but I forgot about it when I was anxious for the exam. Besides, why are you covering your head so tightly? Just give me a look and I'll be in first place!"

　　Xiangmaozi angrily said, "That's cheating in the exam. Are you going to have someone take a look at you when you take the entrance exam in the future?!"

　　Two people were arguing.

　　After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Xin saw that the two of them were still noisy, so she scolded them, "I have been noisy all day long, Xiangmao Zi, you are seeking death. How old are you and are you arguing with your brother? Stop arguing! Come and try on clothes." "

　　When Xin Mao heard that his mother was offended, he proudly stuck out his tongue at Lemongrass.

　　Xiangmaozi didn't dare to be too pushy in front of her stepmother, otherwise she would be beaten.

　　Seeing that the two little guys stopped making noise, Mrs. Xin took out a package with satisfaction. Inside the package were two sets of brand-new summer clothes, both of which were light blue with white edges. They looked cool and exquisite.

　　Xiang Maozi and Xin Mao also got some old clothes, which were given by their neighbors.

　　Some of them didn't fit well, and some of them had patches on the knees. They all looked like old clothes. Now, for the first time, they saw brand-new clothes and skirts placed in front of them.

　　Xin Mao jumped up immediately, "Mom! Are they for me! New clothes!"

　　Madam Xin looked at him lovingly, "It's for you, come and try it."

　　Xin Mao immediately stripped himself naked in the yard, exposed his butt and started changing clothes. Xiangmaozi shaved his cheeks and disliked him for being shameless, but he didn't care.

　　Lady Xin looked at Xin Mao changing clothes with a smile, and said with her mouth, "Nuo, your share!"

　　Lemongrass was shocked, "Me too?"

　　In the past, Xin Mao had new clothes, but Xiang Maozi did not. Most of her clothes are old clothes from Xin Wang or Mrs. Xin that have been made smaller for her to wear.

　　Xiangmaozi was very surprised that she was also treated to wearing new clothes this time.

　　Mrs. Xin showed an embarrassed smile, "Why don't you have one? There are all of them. You didn't have them before because you still had to do work. Even if I give you new clothes, you can't wear them. Now that you are a student, you will naturally have new clothes. Hurry up. Put it on and show me."

　　Xiangmaozi did not doubt that he was there, and happily took her clothes to her small room to change.

　　After she finished changing, Xin Mao was also dressed.

　　The two people looked at each other and saw that they were both wearing half-length, thin, light-colored clothes. They looked thin and translucent, and even the two of them felt a little more energetic.

　　Mrs. Xin nodded with satisfaction, then touched Xin Mao's head melancholy, not knowing what she was thinking.

　　Xin Mao impatiently pushed her mother's hand away, "Oh, you messed up my hair!"

　　Xiangmaozi touched the clothes lovingly and asked the stepmother, "Why don't you think of making new clothes when it's not the New Year or the festival? Does Dad have some too?"

　　The real reason is naturally that Mrs. Xin feels that she should dress smarter when she goes to attend the Immortal Order (yes, Ms. Xin still thinks it is the Immortal Order) to worship the immortals.

　　At this time, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she could only make clothes for Xin Mao and Lady Xin.

　　Mrs. Xin just fooled around and said, "Only you have new clothes. You are in school now. Dress smartly so that you won't be laughed at by your classmates. Your father and I don't see guests or go out, so we have to make new clothes." What to do?"

　　Little Lemongrass was very worried, "Well, I don't want it anymore. Anyway, I'm not afraid of being laughed at, so why not give this clothes to daddy."

　　When Xin Mao heard this, he thought he wanted to return the clothes, so he quickly grabbed his clothes and shouted, "I won't change! I want to wear new clothes."

　　Mrs. Xin got a headache from the two of them, so she shouted loudly, "Stop arguing! Change it to something! If you have so much to do, including making new clothes, keep your mouth shut and enjoy yourself secretly. Here you go I’ve given it to you to show that you can do it.”

　　Xiang Maozi was not too sad after being trained by her stepmother.

　　She asked again, "Is the money enough?"

　　The stepmother rolled her eyes and said, "Your father now has 500 yuan a month. Besides, I also work as a helper, which is enough. I said, can you worry less? Oh, you love to worry. Who does Jiner look like?!"

　　Xiangmaozi was completely relieved when he heard that the money was enough.

　　Just when Xin Wang came back from outside, she immediately turned around and ran over, spreading her arms like a little swallow flying low, "Daddy, look!"

　　Xin Wang saw Xiangmaozi, dressed in new clothes, jumping towards him, looking very energetic and alert.

　　He smiled and nodded.

　　Then I heard Xin Mao shouting, "Dad, look at me! Look at me!"

　　Xin Mao also wore new clothes, a light and cool summer dress, and the little guy looked tiger-headed. He also reached out and touched Xin Mao's big head.

　　Xiang Maozi leaned against her father's side, gently shook Xin Lang's arm, and motioned for Xin Lang to lower his head.

　　Xin Wang bent down, Xiangmaozi said in his ear, "Dad, when are we going to Fucheng?" It was already June 13th, and if we didn't go, we wouldn't be able to catch up.

　　Xin Wang glanced at her to reassure her that he had made all the arrangements.

　　Xiangmaozi understood, and this secret, which she and her father only found out later, made her feel exciting and happy.

　　When Xin Mao saw it, he shouted, "I want to know what you said!"

　　Xiangmaozi laughed at him, "I'll tell Daddy that you got a B grade today and let Daddy beat you!"

　　Xin Mao screamed, "You lied, dad, Xiangmaozi lied, I did well in the exam, my husband praised me!"

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

　　"Still in the second class!" Xiangmaozi interrupted.

　　Xin Mao was so angry that he jumped around in the yard. He wanted to roll all over the floor, but the clothes were new. Now he couldn't bear to part with them. He could only keep jumping around while being angry.

　　Lady Xin said, "Today your father paid a lot of money, and we will eat meat today!"

　　Wow, there is meat! Lemongrass felt that a lot of saliva was automatically secreted from her mouth.

　　Xin Mao, on the other hand, cheered and circled around the yard, "Oh oh oh oh, eat meat, eat meat!"

　　Mrs. Xin took out a small cloth bag from her arms and filled it with 50 big coins. She handed the bag to Xiang Maozi, "Go and cut half a pig's head back, and bring 2 pounds of rice wine to your father. Use the remaining loose money to buy a handful of vegetables, and remember to have someone add two green onions for you."

　　Xiangmaozi agreed, turned around and wanted to change clothes before going. She couldn't bear to wear such new clothes when shopping for groceries.

　　When she went out with her money bag, Mrs. Xin shouted again, "Remember to pick the fat pig's head, otherwise it will be all bones!"

　　Xiangmaozi hurriedly went to buy the pig's head and agreed with a crisp voice, "I know!"

　　When Xiangmaozi turned around and went out, Mrs. Xin looked anxiously at Xin Lang who walked in silently, her eyes fixed on her.

　　Although Xin Lang promised her two months ago that he would give this fairy fate to Xin Mao.

　　But before the dust settled, Mrs. Xin's heart was always hanging.

　　Xin Wang didn't say anything, just handed a small paper bag to Mrs. Xin, sighed, and went back to the house to lie down.

　　At this moment, Xin Lang felt uncomfortable.

　　That night, Mrs. Xin took good care of half of the pig's head. She carefully removed the hair from the pig's head with a burning wooden stick. After grinding the knife, she scraped off a layer of skin and completely removed all the pig's hair.

　　Then add brine and sauce, ginger slices, cinnamon, star anise, peppercorns, cistanche deserticola and other dry spices, and simmer slowly for two or three hours, and the whole yard is filled with a rich fragrance.

　　Xiang Maozi and Xin Mao had already swallowed their saliva from the scent.

　　When the fragrant and soft pig head was split and served in a basin, Xiang Maozi and Xin Mao simply lowered their heads to gnaw on the bones without raising their eyes!

　　So fragrant!

　　too delicious!

　　Madam Xin watched the two children devouring the food, then served them a large bowl of water shield soup, "My little ancestors, how many lives have you not eaten meat?! You will need to eat only meat, so hurry up and give it to me." Eat some food and drink some soup to dissolve it. Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer from heartburn at night! Hurry up!!”

　　Xin Maocai ignored his mother. Xiangmaozi looked at the soup bowl that his stepmother raised in front of him, and could only take it and take a sip. Unexpectedly, the stepmother directly held the bottom of the bowl with her hand, "Drink more, drink more. You finish her drink."

　　He had no intention of letting go until he finished drinking. Xiangmaozi had his mouth stuffed with the bowl, so he could only swallow many mouthfuls and drank up the large bowl of soup.

　　Then, she felt a little bloated and wanted to go to the hut.

　　But the world was spinning, my body was limp, and I felt so sleepy. Xiangmaozi fell asleep without knowing anything.

　　Lemongrass was awakened by urine.

　　Her stomach hurt like it was going to explode.

　　She didn't care about putting on her shoes, and hurriedly struggled to the ground, pushing the door hard, but it didn't open.

　　With a bang, the door was locked from the outside.

　　"Dad! Mom! I want to go to the latrine!!!!" Xiangmaozi screamed at the top of her lungs.

　　However, no one responded to her.

　　There were a lot of things placed on the table, as well as several candles, one of which was still burning, bringing a little light.

　　Xiang Maozi was anxiously turning around, and when she turned around, she saw a small toilet under the table. She couldn't care less, and hurriedly pulled the toilet out from under the table, opened the lid and sat on it. Only then did she feel that the world that was about to explode was restored. Pure.

　　Lemongrass closed the small toilet seat tightly and woke up from the confusion of sleep.

　　Why is the door locked from the outside?

　　Xiangmaozi came to the door and pushed the door hard. The locked door made a clear "grand" sound. Through the crack in the door, Xiangmaozi could see the big yellow copper lock. It was from their family, she recognized it.

　　But her small room was probably not locked very often.

　　If you sleep at night, just tie them up inside. If you go out during the day, just close the door.

　　Because copper locks are too expensive, Xiangmaozi's room has nothing but furniture and bedding. The only valuable textbooks and papers are taken away when she goes to school. There is nothing in this room that can be taken. , so it is never locked.

　　But at this moment, she was locked in the room.

　　Lemongrass is weird.

　　"Dad?! Mom!" Xiangmaozi called a few more times through the crack in the door, but no one responded to her.

　　She was wandering around the house strangely, but suddenly she noticed something was wrong.

　　There are seven or eight large steamed buns, a large jar and a large bowl placed on the table.

　　Xiangmaozi walked over and saw that the big jar was filled with a jar full of white water. There is a big piece of soy sauce dumpling in the big bowl.

　　If these things were given to Xiangmaozi alone, it would be enough for her to eat for three to five days.

　　A locked door, enough dry food for three to five days. Lemongrass suddenly thought of something. She immediately reached out and touched around her neck. The red rope that had been tied around her neck was missing!

　　She even immediately turned over and took off her top and looked down, there was nothing!

　　Then she shook the clothes vigorously and rubbed them, but nothing happened.

　　Lemongrass refused to give up, so she turned over and climbed onto the bed.

　　Under the pillow, under the quilt, under the mattress, she checked over and over again several times without giving up!

　　No! No! ! No! ! !

　　Xiangmaozi was naked from the waist up, but was sweating profusely.

　　She threw herself against the door again, leaned into the crack of the door and shouted, "Daddy! Daddy!! Daddy!!!"

　　In the dead of night, no one responded to her.

　　At this moment, there is something else Xiangmaozi doesn’t understand.

　　His father took his stepmother and Xin Mao to seek immortality with her immortality order.

　　The little lemongrass suddenly felt so cold, and the ground was so icy.

　　The night was as cold as water, and the half candle held on for most of the night. Finally, it came to the end, and after a burst of sparks, it was completely extinguished.

　　The room became dark.

　　Lemongrass seeds gathered on the kang, wrapping themselves into a ball.

　　An irresistible chill surged directly from the bottom of my heart.

　　Xiangmaozi didn't understand why his father didn't want her anymore? !

　　She always knew that her father loved Xin Mao the most. Although Xin Mao was stupid, timid and greedy, her father mostly favored Xin Mao. Not to mention the stepmother, she put Xin Mao in her heart.

　　Lemongrass knows.

　　She didn't dare to argue with Xin Mao, but occasionally, she would feel a little envious.

　　She never thought that her father would snatch the fairy fate away from Xin Mao.

　　This fairy fate belongs to her!

　　The first time she heard about gods, it was when her friends in the village laughed at her: Dogs cannot recognize citronella seeds. The god stepped on the dirty shoes, threw them down with a squeak, and smashed them into the lake, turning them into loaches...

　　Little Lemongrass didn't understand the meaning of the song yet. She roared and rushed over, beating the bear friend who was singing the nursery rhyme all over his face.

　　Aster is helping to cheer her on.

　　Later, Ziyuan told her that there are two types of people in this world, one is ordinary people like them, and the other is the immortals who live in the sky, have no worries about food and clothing, fly around, and have supernatural powers. .

　　At that time, Xiao Ziyuan was still confused, "It would be great if I could become an immortal, but I can't bear to leave my mother and father."

　　Xiangmaozi patted her chest and said, "I'm not afraid. If I become an immortal, I won't be reluctant to part with you. Anyway, my family thinks I'm superfluous."

　　Yes, Xiangmaozi has always known that she is redundant, but she just covers up this inferiority complex with her fearless recklessness and irritability.

　　Since they all think I am redundant, why are you still robbing me of my immortal destiny? !

　　Daddy, you promised me.

　　You promised!

　　Lemongrass crossed her arms and buried her head in them.

　　The tears flowed down unstoppably, and every drop was Xiangmaozi's disappointment in her father, who was the person she trusted most in the world. She always felt that although her father liked Xin Mao, he also loved her in his heart.

　　It was only today that she was really sure that in her father's heart, she was probably not as good as the mud on the soles of Xin Mao's feet.

　　Xiangmaozi has never wanted to think about her position in the heart of her father Xin Lang.

　　Now, the cruel and cold facts finally told her the answer.

　　A cold night.

　　It was getting clearer outside, and someone's rooster was crowing around.

　　Oh my god, it's time for dawn!
