Chapter 5 Fortune telling

That afternoon, Xiaohong's mother carried a bamboo basket and came back from picking vegetables from the field, because she was worried about Xiaohong at home, she kept her head down, frowned, and had a big knot in her heart that was difficult to unravel. Although Xiaohong's current situation is much stronger than before, it is also a difficult problem for her to see that no one speaks. "A good child, why is she like this?" Thinking about it, Xiaohong's mother walked to the mouth of the alley.

As soon as she turned into the alley with her feet, and before she could take a few steps forward, she was stopped by Zhiman's mother who was walking towards her: "Xiaohong's mother, come over quickly, I'll tell you something." Her cold voice startled Xiaohong's mother. She looked up and saw that Shimitsu's mother was waving at her, squinting a pair of small eyes and smiling from the other side.

She didn't speak too loudly, but her two little short legs were upside down quite fast, and she was so exaggerated with enthusiasm, as if she really wanted to say something important to Xiaohong's mother. Xiaohong's mother wondered very much: "What good can she do with me?" ”

This woman, smiling all day long, is very eloquent, and everyone she sees is like seeing a relative, and Xiaohong's mother has no good impression of her from the inside out. Because the two of them are not all the way, an idler, a busy person, and they can't talk about going together when they meet.

If Zhiman's mother hadn't been cast in the wrong place, she would have been able to go to heaven if she had built a ladder. Because she is too good at talking with this mouth, if the guests come and don't eat, they can send two miles away from the wind. Therefore, when dealing with a person with a bad heart like her, you have to be extremely careful, and if you are not careful, you will fall into her trap, and as a result, you will be sold, and you don't know who to ask for money.

The conditions in her family are relatively good, the man is an accountant in a manufacturing factory, a staff member of a state-owned enterprise, and he has a lot of oil and water, so he naturally does not worry about eating, drinking, and wearing. Several children were sent to the city to study, take care of food and housing, and she didn't have to worry about it. In this way, she becomes an idler.

So, she set up a mahjong table at home, and recruited a group of idle people to play mahjong at home all day long, which is simply a bastard. In addition to being lazy and greedy, she loves to inquire about gossip. Not only does she have a bad mouth, but she also has a bad heart.

She also has a characteristic, she is very tactful. In this alley, no matter who has a big or small affair, she likes to help out and join in the fun. Familiar faces, children and adults, seem to have something to say to everyone. Because she has a backer in her family, has a wide range of connections, and her social relations are very complicated, no one in the alley dares to offend her in person.

Xiaohong's mother didn't want to talk to her, she lived in an alley, she didn't see anyone when she looked up, and she couldn't say anything, so she had to greet her with a smile. Zhiman is full of her mother, but she is also different. When she walked to Xiaohong's mother, she didn't speak first, but looked back and forth, left and right, and found that there was no one around, so she confidently and boldly put her mouth next to Xiaohong's ear, squeezed her eyebrows and blew wind into her ears, making Xiaohong's mother have goosebumps all over her body.

Xiaohong's mother was unhappy, and she was embarrassed to show it on her face, and then looked at her suspicious appearance, as if she had been picked up by a wolf, and she also felt funny. She suddenly had doubts in her heart. Standing there and looking at her, I thought: Shiman is not a coward, he is like a thief in broad daylight, what the hell does she want to do?

"What's the matter? It's so mysterious! Aren't you usually quite noisy, why don't you dare to speak loudly? After Xiaohong's mother finished speaking, she looked at her in confusion.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, don't you want to find a fortune teller? I'll inquire for you, it's an old lady from the neighboring village, and she's right! When you're not busy one day, I'll take you to see it? Shiman's mother blinked and said mysteriously.

"Ah, that fortune teller can't be counted in vain, do I have to bring something to others?" When Xiaohong's mother heard this, she smiled, she wished that someone would take her to the fortune telling.

"No, you don't! No! Just bring some money and nothing else! The old lady didn't say anything, after you took Xiaohong there, just listen to her! "How did Xiaohong's mother know that the old lady that Zhiman's mother was talking about was actually a relative of her family.

"Oh well! Tomorrow I have time, tomorrow my child and I will go to her house to have a look! Look, if you have time, why don't you take a trip along with it? Zhiman saw that Xiaohong's mother agreed, and she was done in the blink of an eye, and she was secretly happy in her heart.

"It's not good to go to so many people, I won't go to join in the fun, and if I go, I'm also an observer, I can't help anything, but I will add to the chaos! Her house is very easy to find, you can find it as soon as you enter the village and ask, it is not a matter of effort. Zhiman's mother was afraid that she would talk too much, so she leaked her mouth, so she carefully instructed and hurried home.

After dinner, Xiaohong's mother inquired again in the village. I heard that this old lady was indeed quite capable, and the next morning, she asked Xiaohong's father to drive the carriage and take the two of them to hurry there.

The fortune teller was an old lady with vitiligo, about sixty years old. She wore a pair of reading glasses, sat cross-legged on the kang, squinted her eyes and looked at Xiaohong's face, then looked at her palms, and said in her mouth: This child was a samurai in his previous life, maybe the killing was too heavy, in order to atone for his sins, no matter how hard he works in this life, he will not be famous......"

The old lady was halfway through her words, so she stopped talking. She was silent, but people couldn't see the slightest flaw.

Xiaohong's mother pulled her neck respectfully, raised her face and looked at her without blinking, answering all questions, and not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The old lady took a sip of tea, she hung her appetite, and asked Xiaohong's birthday unhurriedly with a stiff face. Xiaohong's mother listened to the truth. The old lady closed her eyes, she naturally raised her palms, and ten fingers wimbly swung in front of her chest. Xiaohong's mother hurriedly picked up the kettle full of hot water, filled her water cup, and looked at her face silently, nodding her head in response.

Dad listened to their conversation, silently filled a bucket of cigarettes, went into the corner, bent down on the chair, and inhaled slowly. The mother did not think so, she still raised her head and looked at the old lady reverently, waiting for the next word.

"This child is a native life, or a great post native life, kind-hearted, very kind, and stubborn. Born to work hard, the six relatives do not rely on, the siblings are not close, and they work alone and support themselves all their lives. The young man has a hard fortune and is self-made, and he is suitable for learning a skill and may be able to get ahead. After middle age, fortune will gradually improve, and old age will be blessed. Although she was destined to be an official, she was rushed by a half-life person when she was born. However, it doesn't matter, this child is kind-hearted, has a beginning and an end to doing things, encounters stumbling things, and has her own nobles to help her, judging from her birth date alone, she is not bad in this life, suitable for eating children and grandchildren......"

The old lady finished the hexagram in one breath, she closed her eyes slightly, muttered in her mouth, didn't know what to say, and looked relieved. Then he opened his eyes, picked up the water glass, and took a sip. Under the sunlight, her face was weird and weird, Sun Xiaohong was shocked when she saw it, and felt a cool breeze running from her back.

After the old lady finished calculating the hexagram, her mother hurriedly handed over the two hundred yuan in her hand respectfully. The old lady didn't bargain, she took the money unceremoniously, put it in her pocket, then picked up the teacup, and slowly took a sip of tea, like a condorman, closed her mouth tightly, looked at Xiaohong without blinking, and didn't speak for a long time.
