Chapter 8: Confrontation or Strife (5) (4)
After Sixi found out that he had been deceived, in a fit of anger, he stole a little money that the Taoist had accumulated, which was counted as the wages he had endured day and night during this period of time. He hurriedly escaped from the cave and returned to the mortal world where fireworks were at its peak.
Once again, he began a life of aimless wandering.
Either the emperor lives up to his wishes, or his fate comes. On the street hexagram stall in an unnamed town in the south of the Yangtze River, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a woman of the same age as herself, who was telling fortunes to passers-by.
Sixi has been following from afar for several days, seeing that Tian'er is like this. Sixi was deceived and scared, so she didn't dare to blindly join the teacher, so she went over to test her hexagram in person. He told her about his birthday, and asked her to calculate her fate and what troubles she had. The women wrote and drew on a piece of paper, and without much effort, they talked aloud. The words that came out poked at the key point of Sixi, as if I had seen him come step by step like this. Sixi was completely convinced, so he begged to worship her as a teacher and learn some food skills.
At first, of course, the women did not agree. Sixi was like a fart behind her, inseparable. During the day, when the woman set up a stall to watch the hexagrams, he sat on the side to help guard the stall. At night, the woman found a hotel to rest, but Sixi had no money to stay in the hotel, so she slept at the door and waited. It was more than a month that touched the heart of a woman. She promised to accept him and told him to wander with her. Sixi is like a follower, not only taking care of her catering business, but also learning her craft.
After studying like this for more than a year, I finally succeeded in my studies. At the end of the year, the woman is going back to her hometown Jiangxi, and Sixi is also thinking about going home for the New Year. The two stopped traveling around to earn money, and broke up in a hurry in Kaifeng, Henan, and went their separate ways.
Sixi returned to his heart like an arrow, and desperately rushed home. Finally, before the farewell dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I stepped into my own threshold.
Sixi's self-narration made the whole family stunned. Subsequently, it attracted a room full of sighs. The Zhenshu woman was so distressed that she wiped her tears. Four Seasons and the others vigorously persuaded the wine and food, as if they wanted to make up for the suffering that the second brother had eaten outside in the past few years with tonight's wine and food. Jin Lian still didn't squeak, sandwiched her own dishes, ate her own food, and couldn't see a trace of joy, anger and sorrow. Sixi's daughter-in-law Osmanthus is very complicated, not only the joy of the man's safe return, but also the grievance of abandoning his wife and daughter, and there is also an inexplicable suspicion and speculation.
Zhenshu was very happy. At the beginning, the guilt and remorse that Sixi had when he was forced away finally paid off tonight after torturing him for three long years. He is happy that Sixi has finally succeeded in his studies, and in the future, he will hold a golden rice bowl that cannot be defeated and smashed, and the second half of his life will be worry-free. He held the bowl so that his children and grandchildren could drink vigorously. He himself didn't keep a lot of alcohol, but he was so drunk that he couldn't speak clearly.
Zhenshu also briefly told him about the big and small things in the family, such as waiting for the children to start a family with the people, contracting the hotel with the bank, and preparing to rebuild the temple at the foot of the North Mountain.
Sixi very much agrees with marrying the sour apricot family, and is also happy that the third brother Sifang has his own industrial territory. [End of Chapter]
