1979 Summer is the third year of Tangshan earthquake. All towns and villages in Hebei Province are rebuilding their houses. Majiacun is one of them.
Ma Laohan's family originally had five people. During the earthquake, my wife was photographed below by the earth wall, which unfortunately happened.
Ma Laohan led two sons and a daughter to survive. 1979, the foundation was redistributed in the village.
Ma Laohan's foundation is in the north of the village, next to a pond. Soon after, Ma Laohan invited relatives and friends to start building a new house.
On the day of laying the foundation stone, an old man with a white beard came to the village. The old man wore a straw hat, a wallet on his shoulder and a celadon bowl in his hand.
When passing the foundation of Ma Laohan's house, the old man with white beard counted it with his fingers, then shook his head and said, "The foundation here is not good, don't build it."
This sentence was just heard by Ma Laohan's brother-in-law. My brother-in-law quickly got up and walked up: "Grandpa, come and drink a bowl of water. Hadron, go and call my brother-in-law! "
Hadron hurried to find Ma Laohan. The old man with white beard sat on the bench, drank a bowl of water and said, "I don't know if you belong to the main family, but no matter who I meet, I have to tell you that there is a fairy under this foundation." Can you touch the ground on it? " Call it a day, no cover! "
"The old man's house, you said there is a fairy? Can you make it clear? "
"Don't talk too much, don't listen to those suffering old people. If you don't listen, the descendants of the main family are thieves! "
The brother-in-law was worried, and the old man got up and left. Ma Laohan was walking on the road at this time, and finally the old man with white beard left.
Ma Laohan came, and his brother-in-law told Ma Laohan what the old man with white beard said. Ma Laohan smiled when he heard this: "What age is it? There are immortals, it's all bullshit! That old man may be begging, don't believe it, keep working! "
Ma Laohan didn't believe this, so he arranged for craftsmen to start building houses. The new adobe house will be built soon.
Ma Laohan moved into a new house with three children.
However, the new house did not bring good luck to the Ma family. Six months later, something happened to Ma Laohan's family.
Ma Laohan's eldest son likes gambling, but he is unlucky and often loses money. There is no money in hand, but in order to continue gambling, the eldest son has the idea of stealing money and selling it.
Once, twice and three times, the eldest son was caught stealing for the fourth time.
Ma Laohan's eldest son was sent to the police station and later sentenced to five years' imprisonment for theft.
Ma Laohan was shocked when he learned the news! Because this result is just like the old man with white beard said!
Ma Laohan quickly found his brother-in-law: "Xiao Wei! You hurry to help your brother-in-law find the old man with white beard, and let people say that your eldest nephew has been sentenced to five years in prison! "
My brother-in-law was shocked: "My God, so accurate? Then I'll find it now! " Brother-in-law rode the "No.28" car to search in the village, but never found the old man with white beard.
Ma Laohan gave up. Looking at this new house, Ma Laohan has mixed feelings!
Five years passed quickly and the eldest son came out. Ma Laohan set a good table to welcome his eldest son.
A few days later, Ma Laohan pushed the adobe house. In the south of the village, he chose a new foundation, where the new house was built.
Although the eldest son has been in prison for five years, he has never stolen anything since he got out of prison and has given up gambling.
He learned a lot of skills and went out to work with some people in the village, and his life gradually improved. Later, I talked about my wife. In the 1990s, the eldest son set up a small factory, and the business was booming.
When Ma Laohan pushed the previous adobe house, he found many mouse holes around the foundation.
Ma Laohan thought for a moment. The fairy that the old man with white beard said that day should be the mouse fairy under the foundation!
He touched the ground of Rat Fairy's house, and Rat Fairy retaliated against Ma Laohan and made his eldest son a thief, so he was imprisoned for five years. What a miracle!
Conclusion:
"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front." We still can't ignore some folk taboos!
