Chapter 17: Han Meiji
Maybe it's a collection of water and electricity bills, otherwise I can't think of who it is.
The stepfather's family is not a big family, and there are many people who can't talk about it, but few people come. Curious, I sat down in my chair and peered towards the door.
Mother asked through the door who was it?
"The second aunt is me...... Open the door!" a woman shouted outside the door.
The mother leaned on the door and looked through the cat's eyes, smiled and opened the door.
"Mei Ji, why are you, hurry up and come to the house. ”
I heard that it was Sister Mei, so I hurriedly got up from my chair and shouted.
"Sister Mei......"
I haven't seen it for a long time, I can't help but take a closer look at Sister Mei who just entered the door, dressed in black leather clothes and white face, a little thinner than before, and said hello with a smile when I saw me.
"I didn't expect you to be able to come today, what a coincidence. Don't you have to go to work today?"
I smiled and shook my head.
Mother closed the door and found a stool for Sister Mei to sit and change her shoes.
Sister Mei took it, her ass was half sitting on the stool, her eyes were bent, her fleshy lips were half-smiling and half-smiling, and one leg was raised on the knee of the other leg to take off her shoes.
"Second aunt, why is your mobile phone turned off, I can't get through after calling several times in the morning. ”
Sister Mei took off her high-heeled over-the-knee barrel leather boots, pulled on her slippers, and was let by me to sit down at the table where I had just sit.
"I don't know...... I didn't touch it after calling Xiao Xi yesterday, maybe I was able to lift it when I picked up the phone, and I don't know if I turned off my phone. ”
The mother turned off the video disc and sat back in her original position to continue choosing vegetables. I moved the plastic stool that Sister Mei was sitting on to change her shoes and sat down at the dining table, still accompanying my mother to choose vegetables.
"Second aunt, I was going to ask you to accompany me to the divination today...... Since you should be here, you can go with me. Sister Mei turned her head to me as she spoke, looking at me earnestly.
Sister Mei is the closest to my family among my relatives, and although we don't see each other often, we never feel raw. Hearing that her question was exactly what I wanted, I immediately nodded.
"Well, that's ......"
My mother didn't mind when she saw that I agreed, so she just blindly asked Sister Mei if she was right.
Sister Mei said that she was introduced by someone else, and even Hong Kong people have to take a plane to find the god to tell the fortune, so it shouldn't be wrong. Mother nodded and said.
"It's just a pity that she can accompany you. Your uncle-in-law won't let me go, and if he knows, he will vomit with me. ”
I couldn't interject, so I kept my head down and chose the food. When the dish was finished, Sister Mei urged her to leave.
"It's a long way, let's go and get back quickly. ”
When my mother heard this, she also urged, so I got up, put on my coat, and followed Sister Mei out of the house.
When I was leaving, my mother wanted to hold the wrapped kimchi with me. I refused to take it, saying that I couldn't go back directly, and it was inconvenient to hold it. Mother thinks about it too. So he put down the kimchi and took out the trolley that he had brought me back to hold it. I was so annoyed by her that I told her that the trolley was specially brought back for her to keep for grocery shopping. My mother reluctantly sent me and Sister Mei out of the door.
When I went out into the street and looked up, my mother was still lying on the window and staring fixedly......
I looked back and refused to look again.
Sister Mei walked in front, her half-inch-high heel tapping on the asphalt and swaying slightly with her posture. After walking two steps, Sister Mei beckoned to stop a taxi.
In fact, it is only a ten-minute walk from my stepfather's house to the bus stop, so I really don't need to take a taxi.
I got into the car with Sister Mei, and Sister Mei muttered as if she was complaining. "I'm so tired......"
I really didn't bother to talk, so I let her go.
When I arrived at the bus stop, Sister Mei paid the fare. There happened to be a suburban bus parked, Sister Mei and I hurriedly got on the car, fortunately there was an empty seat, Sister Mei didn't have to be tired.
After the car started, there was a commotion in the carriage, and Sister Mei whispered in my ear, "Your brother-in-law is going bankrupt...... and then instructed me. "Don't tell anyone that your mother doesn't know. ”
Her family has always had a very good life, and I can't believe it when I hear such news. I asked, surprised. "How could it be ?......?"
"Hey, don't mention it, otherwise why would I run to the fortune telling. ”
"Hasn't your family always been very good? There are several stores, plus your own business, where can you talk about bankruptcy?"
"It's all sold, even the old house has been pressed out, my mother is afraid that the old book will be gone, crying at home every day, and the creditor will come every day to force the debt. I sneaked out today, and I just want to find the great god to see if there is any help. Sister Mei is strong, and she didn't even frown when she said this.
I was sweating as I listened, and I couldn't figure out how their family had gotten to such a difficult situation. I can't figure out what supports her, and she will believe in such nonsense as fortune telling.
"My mother is always talking behind your brother-in-law's back now, she should have listened to your second aunt's words, and took the second child to live by herself, and she shouldn't have been crowded with you. I saw what she was fascinated by, and I happened to ask the great god who possessed her. ”
"Sister, do you really believe this?" I never knew that in today's society, there would be people who believe in these beliefs so obsessed with it, it is simply unreasonable. But seeing that she spoke conclusively, like a gambler convinced that she would be able to get it back in the next game, I had no choice but to shut up.
"Believe, of course believe, last time people counted your brother-in-law having an affair, but according to the words of the great god, they really blocked them on the bed, do you say God or not?" Sister Mei ignored my silence and said to herself. "I've heard that this time the great god is even more powerful than the last one. ”
Looking at her lonely and crazy appearance, anyone who has experienced it can see that her marriage status is not good, not to mention the great god who is used to seeing all kinds of people.
Who would have thought that the appearance of beauty and inner confusion would reach such a level, it is really rare in the world.
I can't think of what happened to Sister Mei, I only feel pity for her, and I feel pity for her widow.
I chatted with her all the way. She was glad that I could listen to what she said, and she continued to talk until the bus arrived.
After getting out of the car, I transferred to another bus to the other five counties.
From beginning to end, it was Sister Mei who paid the fare. She didn't let me pay for the journey, saying that it was not easy for me to make money as a girl, and she hadn't reached the point where she couldn't get the fare.
The car drove far away, and Sister Mei said that she was tired, so she closed her mouth and turned her head to lean on the backrest and took a nap.
The black suit collar loose-edged leather trench coat is wrapped around the body, wrapping Sister Mei's bumpy figure. The only fly in the ointment is that Sister Mei's skeleton is too large, and her body always looks fleshy, so it will give people a very rich feeling at first glance. And she never clamored to lose weight, but liked the way she looked. In her own words, she is a big seedling, and we are not the same variety.
The car came to a market and stopped. There are all kinds of objects in the long queue of markets. Sister Mei opened her eyes and looked around, said that it was time, and took my hand and got out of the car.
Blend into the crowd and walk east along the bazaar. The two of us bought some food in front of a food stall and exchanged mouths.
Sister Mei bought a lot of things along the way, and by the time Sister Mei and I got out of the market, we had already carried a large bag and a full hand.
Sister Mei found a three-wheeled motorcycle on the side of the road this time, negotiated the price, and beckoned me to get into the car together.
The car was so jolting that people were staggering in it, and I clutched my hands on the edge of the seat, which saved me from the fate of frequent kowtows.
Under Sister Mei's guidance, the car stopped in front of a courtyard at the southernmost end of the village. I've been dizzy......
I was secretly glad that I came here instead of my mother today, otherwise, how could I stand it according to my mother's physique.
I got under the car, the bumpy feeling was still there, the ground seemed to be shaking, and the up and down made me uncomfortable.
A man in a blue shirt was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, and when he saw someone coming, he stood up and greeted him.
"You're here to tell fortunes, right?"
Sister Mei nodded, carrying her things and motioning for me to follow her into the house.
It is a brick house with two doors and two entrances. The man in the blue shirt led us through the east door, let us into the east room, and shouted to us to the kitchen in the back room.
"Mom, there's a guest coming!"
An older voice agreed, and walked slowly from the back room.
Dressed in a thick smoky green sweater, a pair of floral cotton pants, and a pair of old people's shoes on his feet, he looked like he was in his sixties. When I entered the house, I first looked at Sister Mei and me, who were sitting on the edge of the kang, and asked. "Who's going to count?"
Sister Mei hurriedly got up and arrived. "It's ...... me"
"Oh, are you ready?"
I saw that this old lady didn't raise her eyelids, and she held up a big shelf. So, my ass didn't get up as if it was stuck to the edge of the kang.
The old lady glanced at me with a cold face.
Sister Mei replied by pointing to the thing that we had brought over and that was placed on the ground. "It's all here. ”
The old lady said hello, turned around and went out to greet the man in the blue cloth shirt. "Second son, go and beckon your Uncle Wang to come over and help. ”
He turned around and went into the house again and opened the bags. He stacked fifteen steamed buns on the offering table, put the apples, oranges and peaches that Sister Mei bought in front of him, took out the raw chicken that had faded in the bag, tied the chicken body with red rope, and put it on the desk with a large white porcelain bowl. Open the two bundles of incense taken out of the bag, take out three and light them, insert them into the incense burner at the entrance of the hall, fold your hands and muttered for a while, then suddenly turned her head and asked Sister Mei. "What's your tuba name?"
Sister Mei watched the great god salute intently, not expecting the great god to ask her, she was a little stunned, and replied with a wink of her eyes.
"Han Meiji. ”
The old lady put down her folded hands, took out a piece of red paper from the corner of the table, found a pen again, pondered it in her hand for a while, and then handed it to Sister Mei.
"You write it down. ”
It turns out that the great god can't write, and I can't help but feel a little funny.
Sister Mei took it and squatted down, leaned over the edge of the kang and wrote her name, and handed it back to the great god.
The great god took it, folded the paper written by Sister Mei and pressed it under the incense burner, and motioned for Sister Mei to press a red ticket in front of the hall.
Without waiting for Sister Mei to bow in front of the hall with her hands folded, a man with a noodle drum in his hand and a man who looked about fifty miles away walked into the room quickly.
Sister Mei sat down next to me after saluting and whispered to me that these were two gods, and they were dedicated to the great gods.
