Xu's mother patted Xu Chunniang's hand and comforted her.
"Good boy, your father left with a smile. Before he left, he said that you were more promising than any other boy. Having a god in the family also brought glory to our ancestors."
Xu Chunniang sniffed and nodded vigorously.
Xu's mother looked forward to it and asked tentatively, "Three girls, are you going to stop leaving when you come back this time?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head, "I won't stay long when I come back this time. I will leave in more than two months."
She did not say that she was going to be stationed in Yaoyue County.
The family has their new life, and she has her own way to go.
A look of disappointment flashed across Xu's mother's face, but was quickly replaced by a smile.
"It doesn't matter. It's good to be able to stay at home for a while. I'll cook whatever food you want."
Since practicing Taoism, Xu Chunniang has not eaten whole grains for sixteen years. Looking at her mother's diligent face, she can't bear to brush off her kindness.
"I'll have some porridge."
Most of the white porridge is water, relatively speaking, there will be less turbidity.
"Okay, okay, Mom, I'll do it for you right now."
Xu's mother responded, entered the house and started organizing.
At this time, the two nieces and nephews came home from school. They were very curious when they learned that their aunt who had been cultivating immortals since childhood had returned.
"Sangu, are you a god now? Then can you take me flying?"
"Aunt Three, I also want to be a god, I want to be a god!"
Xu Chunniang smiled and answered the two of them, "My aunt is not a god, and she can't fly. It's not easy to be a god, and you can't do it without spiritual roots."
The sister-in-law on the side was moved when she heard this. Although she didn't know what skills Sanmei had learned from following the gods all these years.
But it is an indisputable fact that Sanmei looks young, lively and has outstanding temperament.
It would be great if my two children could become immortals along with Sanmei.
"Sanmei, why don't you show me if my two children can become gods?"
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment and then nodded. Her nephew was eleven years old and her niece was nine years old. They were both at the right age for cultivation.
"Okay. But sister-in-law, don't have too much hope. Only one in a thousand people has spiritual roots."
Although she doesn't have anything specifically used to detect spirits, it is still possible to simply check whether the two children have spiritual roots.
My sister-in-law was overjoyed when she heard this and nodded, "I know, I just want them to give it a try."
After saying that, he asked the two children to stand still.
Xu Chunniang first looked at her eleven-year-old nephew, and directly transformed the spiritual energy into silk, and sent a strand of it into his body's meridians.
The spiritual energy traveled around inside his body and then exited, but no spiritual root was found.
Then, Xu Chunniang used the same technique to test her nine-year-old niece, but she still had no spiritual roots.
She shook her head, "They have no spiritual roots and cannot practice."
When my sister-in-law heard this, she was inevitably a little disappointed.
But then I thought about it, if the child has spiritual roots, it is very likely that the child will leave home to become an immortal like the third sister, and may not be able to come back for many years after that.
Thinking about it this way, she felt much better.
With the baby by your side, whether he can be successful or not is secondary.
Before dinner, Xu Dongmei, the fifth child at the hospital, finally came back.
But when Xu Chunniang left home, she was only two years old and had almost no memory of her third sister. She only knew that there was a third sister who was taken away by the gods.
When the sisters met, they were silent for a long time. Finally, Xu Chunniang was the first to speak and broke the silence.
"Flash by more than ten years, Lao Wu is now this big."
She felt a little emotional, remembering that when she left, the fifth child would learn to walk.
At that time, the closest person to Lao Wu was her sister.
"You two sisters, stop standing around and come and eat."
Seeing this scene, Xu's mother put a smile on her face and put the food on the table, "Three girl, I've brought you the porridge you asked for. There's still more left."
Xu Chunniang sat down and looked at the table full of dishes. The life at home now is really different from before.
Not only did they move out of the adobe house and build a blue brick house, but their food and clothing costs also went up to a higher level.
It can be seen that the days of not having enough to eat are already very far away.
She picked up the bowl, took a small spoonful and put it into her mouth.
The family members chatted while eating, which was very lively and festive.
She had not experienced this kind of excitement for a long time.
Xu Chunniang took two symbolic mouthfuls of white porridge and then put down the bowl.
Xu's mother had a look of concern on her face, "What's wrong? Does it taste bad? I'll add two spoons of sugar to you."
"No need, I'm full."
Xu Chunniang shook her head, "You guys can eat, I'll just sit here."
Xu's mother hesitated to speak, thinking that the third girl had become an immortal and might not be used to it, so she didn't say much.
Others felt a little strange at first, but after thinking about Xu Chunniang's identity, they felt relieved.
Gods, of course, don’t need to eat. If they really eat and sleep like them, would they still be called gods?
In this way, Xu Chunniang lived at home.
She stopped practicing and making talismans, and only practiced the new flying sword and black crossbow. Spend more time together.
The more Xu Chunliang spends time with her family, the more she feels that she and her family are in two different worlds, and they will only drift apart.
At present, she has only been practicing Taoism for sixteen years, and it is not obvious yet.
But it will be another thirty or fifty years. How many family members will there be at that time?
Xu Chunniang's eyes showed a look of enlightenment. Perhaps this is the renunciation that must be experienced in the path of spiritual practice.
Now that we have embarked on this path, we must face all this.
But now it is a rare opportunity to spend time with her family, and she wants to cherish this hard-won time.
After all, Xu Chunniang can't guarantee when she will come back next time.
A week later, the fourth child Xu Qiucao, who was studying in the county town, finally came back.
When he learned that Third Sister was back, Xu Qiucao, who had always been calm and composed, cried out of breath, like a child.
He wiped his red eyes and said in a choked voice, "Sister San, I thought I would never see you again in this life."
When he was a child, his parents were busy with things in the fields and had no time to care about him. It was Third Sister who brought him up, and he had the deepest feelings for Third Sister.
When Third Sister left, he ran after the immortal for a long time, but in the end he failed to catch up with Third Sister.
"Fourth!"
Xu Chunniang patted Xu Qiushou's shoulder hard, with a smile on her face, "I heard that you have been admitted as a scholar and you are promising."
This kid Qiu Shou was very playful when he was young. Who would have thought that he would actually become a scholar.
Xu Qiushou's face turned a little red, "He's just a scholar, nothing more."
The third sister is a person favored by the gods. He has just passed the exam to become a scholar, and he is completely incomparable to the third sister.
Moreover, the reason why the family has enough money for him to study is all thanks to the third sister.
"That's very impressive. There have been no scholars in the Xu family for several generations, and you are the first one."
Xu Chunniang said with emotion, "Everyone in the family is here, but it's a pity that the eldest sister is not here."
When the eldest sister was eight years old, she married to Weijia Village next door, and she didn't know how she was doing.
As soon as the eldest sister was mentioned, the happy atmosphere suddenly froze, and the smile on Xu's mother's face froze.
