80s Taoism

"Beauty, take this red envelope." Zhang Manyin stuffed the red envelope into Zhang Beggar's bag.

Zhang Jiaohua quickly took it out, "Grandpa, mother said, you can't take red envelopes from your own family."

"Beautiful, this gift must be taken. This is not a red envelope, it is a reward for kindness. If you don't give it, the gods will be unhappy." Zhang Manyin bullied his grandson to take out the red envelope.

Ma Donghua said with a smile, "Grandpa gave it to you, so you can take it. You miss grandpa and grandma, it's too late for grandpa and grandma to be happy. Grandma still has groundnuts and sunflower seeds here, you grab some and put them in your pocket."

After Zhang Jiaohua ran away from the Anzhai Talismans invited by various families in Meizitang, he went to install a few Anzhai Talismans for his grandfather's house. The hall, room, pigsty, several places have been settled.

Ma Donghua took a tin enamel plate and put candies wrapped in melon seeds and peanut paper, walked to Zhang Jiaohua's side, and put a few handfuls into Zhang Jiaohua's pocket. The pockets of the two jackets that were so stuffed were bulging. Originally, I had to stuff it into Zhang Jiaohua's trouser pocket.

Zhang Jiaohua quickly waved his hand, "Grandma, my trouser pocket is rotten." Zhang Jiaohua turned the two trouser pockets out, and sure enough, both trouser pockets were rotten with a hole.

Ma Donghua couldn't stop giggling, "Go back and ask your mother to seal up the trouser pockets, otherwise the little sparrows will come out of the painting."

Zhang Manyin also laughed.

"Jiaohua, where are you going?" Seeing that Zhang Jiaohua was not heading home, Zhang Manyin asked quickly.

"Mother asked me to send some Anzhai Talismans to my uncle's house." Zhang Jiaohua turned around and smiled.

"Wait a minute, it's getting dark, grandpa will take you there." Zhang Manyin said hastily.

In fact, there was another reason for Zhang Manyin's past. He was worried that the old woman was too stingy, and Zhang Jiaohua installed a house charm for their house, but they didn't express it at all. If it's normal, it's okay to take advantage of it. Please Anzhaifu is different. The Anzhai Talisman is not working, it depends on the blessing of the gods. If you don't behave properly, the gods will blame you. Anzhai Talisman will not work.

Zhang Jiaohua said from a distance, "No need, it's still daylight, and the Big Blue Wolf won't come so early."

Zhang Manyin smiled, "This child." After talking to himself, Zhang Manyin still walked towards the old family's house.

Hu Xiaoqing's attitude towards Zhang Jiaohua has completely changed since the wild meat was distributed from Zhang Youping's family last time. Seeing Zhang Jiaohua go to her house, she warmly greeted her, "Biaohua, why are you still out shopping so late. It's not safe now, you should go back early, you know?"

"Understood. Mother asked me to come over and install a few Anzhai charms for your house. I wish you peace." Zhang Jiaohua took the Anzhai charms out of his pocket, and almost poured out all the sunflower seeds and peanuts in his pocket.

Fortunately, the melon seeds and peanuts were not dirty in the snow. With Hu Xiaoqing's help, he quickly put all these snacks back into the bag.

"Wow! Beggar, where do you have so many delicious foods?" Zhang Yuanbao came out, just in time to see this scene, and immediately widened his eyes.

Zhang Manyin who arrived later said quickly, "Just now the beggar invited the Anzhai talisman to go to the old house. Your grandma caught some for him. I was worried that it would be dark and it would not be safe for the beggar to come out alone. I didn't expect the beggar to miss you. He insisted on sending you the Anzhai talisman."

Zhang Manyin thought to himself: Fortunately, he came in time. If the beggars were to tell the truth, the old lady would be paranoid, thinking that grandparents only love beggars.

Zhang Jiaohua is also very generous, "Brother Yuan Bao, come, we are half of each other."

Zhang Jiaohua grabbed all the sunflower seeds and groundnuts in a bag and gave them to Zhang Yuanbao. With the events of the previous few times, Zhang Jiaohua has a good impression of this cousin. Although Yuan Bao is spoiled, he is still very righteous to this younger brother.

"Look, Jiaohua is so sensible. When you have something delicious, you still know how to give it to your brother." Hu Xiaoqing had a little estrangement in his heart at first, but after seeing this scene, all anger disappeared.

"Yuanbao, if you want to eat, go to grandma's place with my brother. I will make sure you two are full." Zhang Manyin said with a smile.

Zhang Jiaohua was busy setting up the Anzhai Talisman. There are also some etiquette. Zhang Yuanbao naturally watched the excitement curiously. Hu Xiaoqing was going to get some food for Zhang Jiaohua, since it's the New Year's Eve, whoever is here must bring something out to treat him.

"Xiaoqing, let me tell you something." Zhang Manyin called the old woman to stop.

"What's the matter? Dad, you sit in the room first, and I'll get some peanuts and melon seeds." Hu Xiaoqing was about to go into the room.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you something. Here's Anzhai Talisman, you still need to talk about etiquette. For other things, my family will help you, so naturally don't talk about it. But this is an invitation talisman. If you don't respect etiquette, the gods will blame you. I'm just afraid that you don't know this. I came here to tell you." Zhang Manyin explained intentionally.

"How can it be? Dad, look at what you said. I'm a man in my dozen years old. Don't I understand the rules? I'm Auntie Hua, who has done things for me, and I can still make him suffer? Look, I've already wrapped this red envelope. It's ten yuan and eight cents. I can do it quickly." Hu Xiaoqing took out a red envelope from his pocket with a laugh.

"How did you get ready in advance?" Zhang Manyin was very surprised, and Hu Xiaoqing was like a prophet.

"I went to my second child's house just now. I told Qiaoye to ask the beggar to install some Anzhai charms for our house. Qiaoye said that the beggar had already come out. I almost prepared the red envelopes at that time." Hu Xiaoqing said proudly.

Zhang Jiaohua returned home and brought back two red envelopes. After receiving the red envelopes from grandpa and aunt, Liu Qiaoye didn't say anything.

The atmosphere on the twenty-eighth night was really different from usual. It was only eight o'clock in the evening, and there was no sound in the village. The atmosphere in Meizi'ao was a bit dull, and one could always feel that something was about to happen.

At this time of day in the village, only the dogs from every household can be heard barking non-stop. But this night, I didn't hear a dog barking.

The diamond mountain leopard also became restless, kept looking outside, its hair stood up, and growled softly from time to time.

And the chickens and ducks at home entered the cage early, and all the chickens and ducks were silent in the cage, their bodies curled up together, shaking slightly.

Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye's expressions were not very good. Fasten every door in the house with a wooden cork. They also deliberately used wooden stakes to support the door. Zhang Youping nailed up several doors with boards. Only the main door and the kitchen door remained.

Zhang Jiaohua acted like a normal person, he wasn't too worried about what might happen tonight.

"Woo..."

On the other side of the mountain, a big blue wolf stood on top of a boulder, howling continuously towards the sky.

Big blue wolves came out from every dark corner and walked towards the same place...
