Chapter 5 The Last Supper
The new book needs everyone's support, thank you!

When Zhao Long woke up, it was already past six o'clock the next day, and his mother, Qian Guilan, had gotten up to cook at some point. Zhao Long looked at his grandfather and he was not breathing heavily. Zhao Long shook his father, Seeing his father's mouth moving, Zhao Long felt relieved. Zhao Long stood up and walked towards another small house in the family, which is where Zhao Long's family cooks.

Seeing his mother cooking, Zhao Long hurriedly said, "Mom! You got up so early? What's for breakfast?"

Zhao Long lifted the covered chopping board (meaning rural dining table) and saw the cooked corn flour cakes. When Zhao Long saw the yellow flour cakes, he couldn't help but ate one first.

Corn cakes are the most common coarse grains in Zhao Long's hometown. Due to the geographical environment and the temperature and humidity in the mountainous areas, most of the places in the mountainous areas do not grow wheat. Corn is resistant to high temperatures and the harsh environment does not affect its growth. The most important thing is to control your fullness. If you eat a lot, you will not feel hungry until late in the evening. It is an excellent staple food that every family in a mountain village must grow.

The cornmeal is made by a family in the west of the village a little farther away after drying the corn in their own home.

Mother said: "I knew you were hungry, and you ate less last night. I will get up early to cook today. Come, here are the eggs at home. I made boiled eggs for you and your father. After you finish eating, hello." Eat something for your father. It seems that your father is much better today. He hasn’t eaten for several days. Later, look at your father and let him eat. There are still leftover fish from yesterday, by the way , Today, when you go to the old house, there seem to be some fruit trees behind, probably full of worms, see if there are any better ones, pick them all, as long as they are broken, sparrows will eat them, the fruit trees, I think Just find someone to shovel it out after a short period of time, and it won’t grow many fruits if you keep it.”

Zhao Long hurriedly said: "There are fruit trees? Why didn't I see them when I went yesterday? I'll feed my father some stewed eggs, and I'll go and have a look later."

Just as Zhao Long was about to bring a bowl to feed his grandfather, his cousin Tingting came. Zhao Long hurriedly asked, "Has Tingting eaten? There is something to eat here. You can take it yourself. I will feed my father some stewed eggs."

Zhao Tingting hurriedly replied: "Auntie, brother, is daddy awake?"

Zhao Long hurriedly replied: "I'm much better today, I was really worried yesterday, and now my breathing is very peaceful, let's go, let's go together."

Zhao Long and Tingting went to the front room together, Tingting saw her father opened her eyes, and hurriedly said: "Father, my brother and I will feed you, Tingting thought that my father..."

Zhao Long hastily pulled Tingting away, so Tingting didn't finish the rest of her sentence.

Seeing that his father looked really good, Zhao Long hurriedly said, "Father, I'm back to see you."

Zhao Long's father said: "Longlong is back? Why are you back now? Dad misses you very much."

Seeing that his father was in good condition, Zhao Long couldn't help but feel that he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. He was happy and even more worried. In the past, there were many sick old people in the mountain village who were not well for a few days. After a sudden improvement, when the family members were happy, the old man passed away silently the next day.

Zhao Long said with tears in his eyes: "Father, I came back to take care of you. I...I miss Dad so much. Dad, let the grandson feed you something. Dad must be hungry."

With tears in his eyes, Zhao Long fed the stewed eggs to his father.

Stewed eggs belong to running water food. Generally, people in the village will stew eggs for younger children every day. First, it is nutritious, and second, it is easy to digest. Dad hasn’t eaten for a few days, and his stomach is empty. Coarse grains are not easy to eat , it would be best to eat some stewed eggs
Moreover, stewed eggs can be made in a few minutes, so it can be regarded as a delicacy: Zhao Long's mother took two eggs and beat them in a bowl, and stirred the eggs back and forth with chopsticks. Considering that it should not be too hard, she added a little more warm water and stirred After stirring well, add some salt appropriately, put it on the surface of the water, boil the water, and it will be cooked in 5,6 to [-] minutes.

Zhao Long fed his father to eat stewed eggs mouthful by mouthful, holding back the tears of excitement, after grandpa finished eating, Zhao Long wiped his mouth for grandpa, let his father rest, and then said: "Daddy, mom Said that there are fruit trees in the old house bearing fruit, I will pick some for you to eat, just wait." Father Zhao Long nodded, waved his hand, and signaled Zhao Long to pick it.

"Father, you go to bed first, Tingting will go pick it with brother." After speaking, he pulled Zhao Long away from the house

Zhao Long was riding a bicycle, and Tingting was sitting in the back holding Zhao Long. Seeing that his father was getting better, Zhao Long and Tingting were also in a good mood
"Brother, slow down! It's a good way to pad your ass. As she said, Tingting hugged Zhao Long tightly and lay on Zhao Long's back. Zhao Long felt the unevenness of Tingting's body, and his heart was nervous again, and his heart beat faster.

After a while, Zhao Long and Tingting came to the old house and stood their bicycles by the wall. Tingting pointed to the back of the old house and said, "Brother, it's right behind, let's go." Just walk to the back of the old house
"How many peach trees are there really? There are four peach trees, one plum tree, and one willow tree in the distance!" Zhao Long said to himself

"Brother, I want to eat that peach! The big one." Tingting said, holding Zhao Long's hand.

"Okay, I'll pick it for you!" After finishing speaking, Zhao Long found a stick and gently pushed against the stalk at the root of the peach, and the peach came down. Pinch the peaches.

"Wow, brother is awesome!" Seeing Zhao Long's technique, Tingting couldn't help but praise.

Zhao Long didn't expect that he could hold Taozi like this, so he thought in surprise: "When did I have such a technique? Such a speed? Just now I felt that Taozi was slowly falling, and it was easy to hold it Yes! Judging from the falling phenomenon of the object, it should have fallen within a second, why did I see it fall gently?"

"Tingting, tell me how good I was just now? Zhao Long hopes to judge what he sees from what Tingting saw
"Brother, didn't you see it just now? The peach was knocked down by you. I thought it would fall on my brother. I didn't even see it clearly. You just pinched the peach, and it fell faster than the peach fell? Brother, How did you do it?" Zhao Tingting asked
Zhao Long was shocked when he heard this, and quickly said: "This... this... oh... I exercise often, and it will be very fast. From now on, brother will teach you."

"Brother is so kind, brother, you bend down." Zhao Tingting said
Zhao Long didn't know what Tingting was going to do, thought he wanted to whisper something, so he bent down
Tingting hugged Zhao Long and kissed Zhao Long deeply on the cheek, and said: "Brother is great!"

Zhao Long suddenly felt his heart beating faster, squatted down and said to Tingting: "Tingting, you are already 15 years old, and you are a young adult. In the future, can you not allow your brother to know? To prevent others from misunderstanding?"

Tingting said with tears in her eyes: "My brother doesn't like Tingting, if my brother doesn't love Tingting, I want to kiss my brother!"

Zhao Long was speechless immediately, and hurriedly said: "Why doesn't brother hurt Tingting? Don't cry, don't cry, brother is picking a big peach for you, okay?"

"Well, well, brother, there are a few big peaches over there." Zhao Tingting pointed to the tree and said

When Zhao Long was about to use the stick, he remembered the strange phenomenon just now, and planned to try whether it was a coincidence or what happened.

Zhao Long picked a big peach that was about 3 meters above the ground. Using the same method as before, he gently pushed the stick up on the root of the ripe peach, and the peach fell down immediately. At this time, he was surprised again. What he found was that the peach seemed to be falling down gently. When Zhao Long raised his hand, his thumb held the bottom of the peach, and his index finger pressed the top of the peach, pinching it in his hand.

Then I heard Tingting yelling: "Brother, you are amazing, the peaches fall so fast, how can you pinch them so accurately? Brother must teach me in the future, it's great, it's great, hehe."

In this way, Zhao Long accurately pinched a few big peaches on several trees in his hands.

Afterwards, Zhao Long said to Tingting: "Tingting, when you go back, don't tell your father and aunt about this. If we let others know our secret at this time, brother will not teach you in the future."

Tingting nodded, took out the prepared plastic bag, and put the last peach into the bag, then Zhao Long took Tingting back home, along the way, Zhao Long wondered if he had anything Magical ability, I can't figure it out for a while, but I get home after a while.

Back home, Zhao Long cleaned all the peaches, gave Tingting the biggest one, and handed the peaches to his mother
The mother took a look and said, "Such a big peach is very ripe and soft. How come it didn't break when it fell?"

Zhao Long hurriedly replied: "This... is... I just climbed to the tree to pick it, and I climbed up because I was afraid that it would fall to pieces."

"Climbing a tree? You are not afraid of the peach hair touching your body. Go, wash your face, wash your hands, otherwise, it will itch later." Mother said

Zhao Long went outside, in order not to let his mother suspect, he washed it.

Zhao Long washed and saw the jade ring on his wrist, and said to himself: "Could it be that this has magic power? I have to hide from my family and go to the old house when I have time, so I can study it carefully.

Afterwards, Zhao Long entered the house, gave his father a soft peach, and fed him some peaches, and his father was very happy.

Not long after, the aunt, uncle, village head, aunt, etc. all came over when they knew that the father had suddenly recovered. In the evening, except for the village head, the whole big family sat together and ate happily, and the father also ate well. Very happy, everyone's hanging heart finally let go.

At 07:30, the village head said goodbye to everyone and went back. He said to Zhao Long's father, "Old Zhao, your children are by your side. You have to live a few more years. You haven't had a great-grandson yet." Woolen cloth!"

After the village chief left, Zhao Long's big family chatted with his father for a long time. It seemed that his father had endless things to say tonight, which made his children and grandchildren more at ease. Zhao Long's father said: "Children, good grandson, good granddaughter, and my filial daughter-in-law." Then he said to Zhao Long's mother: "My son is sorry for you, our Zhao family can have you like this!" It's really not easy to be a good daughter-in-law. Children, all be well." After speaking, Father Zhao Long lay down and fell asleep.

Zhao Long and all the people felt that the last words were so uncomfortable. Seeing that Zhao Long's father had fallen asleep, they all went home one after another in a daze.

Later, Zhao Long and his mother also accompanied his father to sleep on the floor beside his bed...

In the middle of the night, Zhao Long got up at night, looked at his father habitually, and wanted to put his arm under the quilt for him. When he touched his hand, he felt very cold. Zhao Long was startled, and instinctively put his hand on the old man Under Dad's nose, he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly called Dad: "Daddy! Dad...Daddy..."

Pushing Dad still didn't respond, Zhao Long burst into tears and cried, "Dad, Dad...
Zhao Long's mother woke up suddenly, saw it, touched it, and burst into tears...
"Mom!...Mom.....Papa is gone....Papa is gone.... I had the last meal with our family, and Dad is gone..." Zhao Long suddenly realized, why did Papa end up in the end? Let them all be well.

Zhao Long thought about the sudden improvement of his father today, and then he confirmed the reason why he was worried that his father was returning to the light. last supper...
