Chapter 4 Boys and Girls

Ye'er is getting closer and closer to the due date, although my mother asked me to go to the hospital for gender identification because she wanted us to have a boy after I refused last time, but my mother never gave up the idea of letting us have a boy.

My mother once took advantage of my absence from work to take Ye'er to find a fairy girl from other places, I heard that this fairy girl is very skillful, she can go without eating or drinking water for a month, and only need eight packs of cigarettes a day to maintain the normal operation of her immortal possessed life. I don't believe it, it's all some charlatans, but my mother believes it very much, and Ye'er is also a little flustered by her mother's lobbying. No wonder when I got home from work that day, I saw that Ye'er didn't cook, her face was full of smiles, and her face was a little sweaty and flushed, which surprised me very much, my mother specially fried a few good dishes, and when she saw me getting off work, she hurriedly called me to go to their house for dinner.

During the meal, the mother finally told a big thing that she took Ye'er to accomplish today, that is, she took Ye'er to see the fairy Gu today. I saw the fairy aunt gesturing on Ye'er's stomach with her hand, while babbling in her mouth, and no one understood what she was talking about. After about half an hour, the fairy girl finally stopped, and then said to her mother mysteriously and proudly, Ye Er should have been a girl in her belly, but she couldn't stand her mother's pleading, so she talked to the gods, and finally took a lot of effort to convert the girl in Ye Er's belly into a boy, and guaranteed that Ye Er must have given birth to a boy, of course, her mother must have spent a lot of money for this.

My mother said excitedly and proudly and a little reverently, but I laughed sarcastically at my mother for always liking to believe in such deceptive things. My father was also beside me to help me speak, and my father said that giving birth to a boy or a girl is a kind of fate, where did I get so many ghost tricks that can realize the free conversion of boys and girls by talking to the gods.

At this time, the mother was obviously a little anxious. Mother said, you don't believe it, if this fairy girl is not good, why is there always a lot of traffic in front of her house every day, and people rush to her house to ask for help.

Mother turned her face to me again, since you don't believe it, then when you rest next week, you take Ye'er by yourself, I heard that there is a century-old Chinese medicine doctor on the century-old street, a family of Chinese medicine, you are a scholar, you should believe it this time, right? This is an old Chinese medicine doctor, as long as he spends 100 yuan to buy his pair of Chinese medicine, go home and let Ye Er take it, this old Chinese medicine doctor can ensure that Ye Er will definitely give birth to a boy, and this old Chinese medicine doctor is a very trustworthy person, never break his word, and set up words and paintings as a basis. If a boy is born at that time, all you need to do is send nine eggs to him to give him good news; If you give birth to a girl, this old Chinese medicine doctor will immediately return the money to you, and you are not allowed to do without money.

The seemingly impeccable old Chinese medicine doctor who pays attention to credit really listened to his grandfather, father, and Ye'er nodded again and again, and his father actually praised that it is rare that there is such a person who pays such attention to credit in this society. They were really deceived by their mother's conclusive words, and they all agreed to let me take Ye'er to that hundred-year-old street to find the hundred-year-old Chinese medicine doctor to buy a pair of Chinese medicine for 100 yuan when I had a weekend off, so as to ensure that Ye'er gave birth to a boy.

Writing and painting are based on it! These words almost deceived me, but after thinking about it, I said to my mother, "Why do you believe in such indiscriminate charlatanism?" ”

Seeing me say this, the eyes of all the people in the family were attracted to me, my mother looked a little aggrieved, and Ye'er was also very unhappy and twisted my thigh. Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, I continued: "Believe it or not, if you give me a hundred yuan, I can also make a letter and painting to guarantee that Ye'er will definitely give birth to a boy, anyway, if I give birth to a boy, I will make a net profit of 100 yuan; If I give birth to a girl, I will return the money, and I will not lose or earn. It's a good business. ”

Grandpa and father seem to have understood a little. Yes, I continued to analyze later, and finally even my mother realized that this was a seemingly clever but very unclever charlatan, and if you understand it, you will know that this is a trick to deceive people.

If a hundred pregnant women believe the nonsense of this old Chinese medicine doctor and spend 100 yuan to buy his so-called deceitful Chinese medicine, according to the sex ratio of normal human beings giving birth to boys and girls, even if there are 40 pregnant women giving birth to boys, this so-called deceitful old Chinese medicine doctor can make a net profit of 4,000 yuan with empty gloves and white wolves, which is higher than my salary income in a year! As for the pair of traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally made by stirring and mixing some sweet potato flour and potato flour with a little herb that is not harmful to people, and it is not worth a few cents at all.

Taking advantage of people's psychology and human weakness to defraud money is the most shameless means of scammers, and it is also the imprisonment that people have never been able to get out of for thousands of years.

Yes, deception is always associated with human weakness.

A colleague of mine was scammed the other day. One day he received an advertising letter, and he wondered how the scammers could have known the name and work of this colleague of mine. When my colleague received this advertising letter, he was very excited, and he held up the envelope to show us off, saying that he was the only one who received this advertising letter, and we did not receive it. In the end, we didn't forget to joke about us, saying that we didn't receive this advertising letter, maybe because of our character problems. I asked him to show me this advertising letter, and he was very mysterious and didn't let me read it, and finally proudly told me that he would let us know in a few days.

After about a week or so, he was depressed that day. Unable to withstand the persuasion of several of our colleagues, he finally told us the truth.

It turned out that the advertising letter he received that day asked him to spend 200 yuan to buy a product, and when he returned home, as long as he installed the product on the black and white TV set at home, the black and white TV set would immediately become a color TV set. At the end of the letter, it was repeatedly emphasized that this was the latest military technology at that time, pay attention to secrecy, and never let the second person know! No wonder he didn't let me read the letter at the time, he was bluffed.

You know, at that time, our monthly salary was only about 300 yuan, and the price of a color TV was 3,000 or 4,000 yuan, most families could not afford it, almost all of them were black and white televisions, if anyone bought a color TV, it would be far more sensational than people buying a house now.

In this way, my colleague excitedly and expectantly went to the post office to send 200 yuan to the address agreed in the letter, and after a few days, he really received this product, and when he got home, he was excited and happy to install it on the black and white TV set at home. Yes, that black-and-white TV really turned into a color TV in no time, and the so-called product that could turn a black-and-white TV into a color TV in seconds turned out to be just a dime-worthless cellophane, and if it was covered on the screen of a black-and-white TV, it could really immediately change black and white to color, but was this a color TV? Dizzy

Poor and lovely people are always deceived by the sinful and not very clever deception of these shameless liars. You should know that at that time, the state spent millions of tens of millions of foreign exchange to buy a color TV production line from abroad, how could you realize the dream of changing black and white into a color TV in seconds for just 200 yuan, that is really a fantasy and a fool's dream.

However, for Ye'er, Ye'er really wanted to have a boy, but I had a natural attitude, so I didn't feel any pressure on Ye'er. Maybe it's because Ye'er's mother gave birth to several girls, Ye'er also wanted to have a boy at the instigation of my mother.

Naturally, it's the best.
