Maybe the old lady has been dealing with some vulgar men and women in society all the year round, and she is used to seeing the world's human feelings, and she responds so calmly in the face of strangers. She sat there in all directions, her face calm and unmoved. The logic of her speech is even more methodical, nail to nail, mao to mao, and even to the point, and there is no superfluous nonsense. But her eyes are surprisingly sharp. The first impression she left on Sun Xiaohong was very deep, and she seemed to be too similar to the exterminators in the market.

The old lady stared at Sun Xiaohong without blinking, as if she had nothing to say, and her unbelievable behavior made Sun Xiaohong very annoyed. "Isn't the money already given to her? What else was she trying to say? ”

Because she has never seen such a weirdo since she was a child, and she has never been stared at like this. Now, she sat in this dimly lit room, and she was overly nervous in addition to embarrassment. She lowered her head, and was panicked by the old lady's eyes, she only felt dizzy, her cheeks were hot, and her whole body was very uncomfortable.

She sat there uncomfortably, keeping her mouth shut, and not saying anything she asked. She clenched her fists in a depressed manner, and her heart was like an artemisia grass, and she longed to fly out of this low doorway and go outside to catch her breath.

The old lady's words were simple and clear, and she felt seamless, but Xiaohong's mother had to ask her to give Xiaohong another batch of eight characters. Xiaohong didn't want to listen anymore, and was about to leave, but was held down by Xiaohong's mother.

In order to hide the dissatisfaction in her heart, Sun Xiaohong frowned slightly, looked sideways secretly, and saw the old lady's sharp eyes, which were both deep and indifferent, and also glowed with strange brilliance, which suddenly gave her an unfathomable feeling.

Although Xiaohong didn't know what her purpose was in doing this, from her eyes that read countless people, she seemed to see an intricate web, slowly approaching her. She repeatedly reflected on herself in her heart: "Is my life really as unbearable as she said?"

Thinking like this, Sun Xiaohong glanced at the old lady again, and when the four eyes met, seeing that the old lady was still staring at her, she immediately moved her eyes out of the window with palpitations. Because the old lady's eyes are too sharp, the chilling pupils in the eye sockets have a strong penetrating power, and it seems that she can see through people's inner world at a glance. The old lady stared at her deadly, for fear that Sun Xiaohong would quietly slip away from under her eyelids, and Sun Xiaohong began to doubt her life.

"No one in this world can predict the future, and no one can determine what will come. In life, what should come must come, and you can't hide if you want to. Her fate is in the palm of her own hand, and it is not a fantasy for a little girl who is not sophisticated, who has just walked out of school, to rely on an old lady who tells fortunes to dominate her future. Since you're not afraid of anything, why use fortune telling. It's not a shame to not be admitted to university, so why should I show my face and waste my time here. ”

Sun Xiaohong is soberly aware of her cowardice and ignorance. Now, facing such a simple old lady, she slowly calmed down, allowing the old lady's see-through eyes to sweep herself from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.

Human patience is limited, she doesn't like this forced way of communication, even if the two sides are making an unspeakable deal, she can't stand such criticism and scrutiny. People should live in their own world, and other people's opinions are just a foil to themselves, in fact, there is no need to make a fuss and look around for life-saving straws to deceive yourself.

Now that the account had been given, the old lady stopped talking. Xiaohong quickly glanced at her mother and motioned for her to get out of here. She wanted to say that if she didn't leave, she would go crazy. But the old lady still stared at her coldly, like a lifeless object, and made her feel that she was actually a funny joke.

The mouth of the storyteller and the legs of singing are all tempered into steel. Fortune telling, true and false, false and real, whether it is accurate or not, it is a heart booster, not good, not bad, the same as taking nutritional medicine, although it does not have much effect, it also fills the spiritual vacancy, Xiaohong's mother finally spent money to buy a peace of mind. On the way back, Xiaohong's mother also said with relish that the old lady was good and accurate. And the response given by his father Sun Guodong was: Three clear-eyed people with sound sanity were actually taken advantage of by a confused old lady, which is really a big joke.

After coming back, Sun Xiaohong also wanted to open it, and after she got up early every day to clean up her hut, she also decided to help work in the vegetable field.

The vegetable plot at home is very large, and there are many varieties of vegetables, and there are so many things in the field that I don't have a clue. From spring to autumn, Mom and Dad circled around the field all day, so tired that they couldn't straighten up, and they didn't get discouraged.

In this season, the vegetables in the field are ripe, green and red, pick them off and put them in sacks, and Xiaohong's father will drive the carriage to get up early and be greedy and black to pull it to the market to sell, and the hard-earned money in exchange for the wind and rain has become the main source of livelihood for the family. The work of growing vegetables is very tiring and tormenting, and no one in the village who sees anyone shaking their heads is willing to suffer such hardship.

So what can be done, the elderly have to spend money to support the elderly, the girl has to spend money to go to school, and the son has to spend money to deal with the object, just a finger, it is not a small amount, if the family is cut off from the money, it is equivalent to a broken job. Xiaohong's mother is a very strong person, she is desperate to grow vegetables and buy vegetables, and she will not let her life fall to the ground and be laughed at.

If it weren't for this vegetable plot to support all the expenses of the family, Sun Xiaohong might not have been able to graduate from high school. In the past, she saw her father hunched over and carrying a vegetable basket in the vegetable field, and she didn't think so, thinking that it was what he should do. And now, thinking of her situation, she really can't be so willful anymore.

The weather in July is unpredictable, like a magician's face, a gust of wind and rain, moody. After the sky cleared, a large area of sunlight sprinkled on the dense vegetable leaves without hindrance, and the seedlings of the eggplant and persimmon were draped in a layer of red, orange, yellow and green armor. From a distance, the land is full of low-hanging gold, and it is also the economic lifeblood of the family.

Sun Xiaohong finished picking vegetables in the field, returned home, made a basin of cool water from the well in the yard, put it on the basin stand, she put her hands full of mud into it, and a cool feeling penetrated her heart and lungs, this inexplicable feeling instantly opened her heart knot.

The sun was surging in the yard, washing everything in front of her, and she lowered her head and rubbed the mud in her palms vigorously, as if she had pulled away all kinds of previous troubles, and her heart was full of endless warmth.

She picked up a handful of water and was about to wash her face, when she suddenly heard a clear sound of footsteps in the alley, and then a familiar voice sounded outside the courtyard: "Is Sun Xiaohong at home?" This tentative questioning took her aback.
