After eating lunch and falling asleep safely, Mrs. Cheng took Lin Lishan's mother and daughter out. Along the way, the old lady didn't say where to go first. When I saw her, I asked Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter to follow her.

After taking the bus for more than half an hour, Mrs. Cheng finally took their mother and daughter around the alley and turned around to a large courtyard.

The outside of the compound was a mess, the aisles were full of debris, and you could smell the pungent smell of urine.

Entering the yard, Zhou Jiao counted the coal piles under the eaves and windows, and at least seven or eight families lived. She carefully watched her steps, followed behind Mrs. Cheng, and came to the door of the innermost house.

Mrs. Cheng knocked on the door, and soon the probe at the door stretched out her head, and her body shrank behind the door. The other party should see that it is an acquaintance, and the small opening that can only allow one person to pass sideways is opened.

Inside, the two rooms are not big. After entering the back room, the other party lifted the quilt, took out two packages and handed them to Mrs. Cheng, and after receiving the food stamps handed to him by Mrs. Cheng, he opened the door and asked them to leave.

There is not a word in the whole process, and the gods are mysterious.

After leaving the courtyard, the distance is far away. Mrs. Cheng told each other's stories.

This family is also surnamed Cheng, of course, it has nothing to do with the Cheng family in Jiangnan.

The one who opened the door was Master Cheng's only son. Speaking of this unmet Master Cheng, he is a poor man.

In his early years, he was famous for his clothes craftsmanship, and he worked hard to buy this miscellaneous courtyard, and gave birth to five sons and two daughters with his wife. After war, chaos, and disasters, there is only one son and one daughter alive now. After the release, he worked as a pattern maker in a garment factory. Finally, the family lived in peace.

As a result, it was reported that he had made clothes for GMD officers and little devils back then. Although it was finally confirmed that he was forced to be helpless, he had become a frightened bird.

The neighborhood committee informed him that his family's compound was too large and that he needed to arrange for someone to live in it. He didn't say a word to make room, leaving only two rooms for himself. I never dared to ask for money when I took the job, only food stamps.

Zhou Jiao felt that this person was not worried, but cautious. Dare to take private work, but are you still timid? Asking for food stamps and not money is just an excuse.

Hearing that he had a very good business, she smiled slightly. Cats have cat paths, and rats have rat paths. This is also a way to survive, I don't see her aunt's tone full of sympathy.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter got on a tricycle with Mrs. Cheng and came to the door of a family.

This family is a single family, the door is mottled with paint, and the floor is very clean.

After knocking on the door, an old lady came out, and the two old ladies who were over half a hundred years old avoided Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter, muttering in the corner.

Zhou Jiao glanced at the half-hidden gate, and the courtyard inside was very tidy. Looking at the mottled dots of the gate again, she sighed secretly, she had met all smart people today.

She secretly swore that if she met a few more such families, she would shrink into the compound when she returned to Beijing in the future, and the family would resolutely not live outside.

She never underestimated others. There are too many people in Sijiu City, she has a lot of money and stupidity, and sooner or later she will be cannon fodder. Listen to her own mother muttering in her ear, planning to go to the Friendship Mall next.

Ouch....... she found out that her family was full of money and many people were stupid!

Mrs. Cheng was finally busy, said goodbye to the other party with a smile, and took the two out with her. After walking for a while, she seemed to be unable to bear it, and kept looking at Zhou Jiao, wanting to speak again and again.

"Grandma, say whatever you want. Your granddaughter is bold enough to stand it! ”

Zhou Jiao couldn't stand it anymore. She had just noticed that the old woman had been staring at her, her fingers quietly pinching. Her aunt and grandmother looked at each other with a serious face, and now they have broken the superstition, and this old D member has a really low consciousness.

Mrs. Cheng looked at her with a smile, "You found out?" I knew I couldn't hide it from you. ”

"What did you find? How come I don't know what my aunt is hiding? Lin Lishan looked at them with a puzzled face.

Mrs. Cheng was so anxious that she pulled the two of them to hide in the corner, looked around to make sure that there was no one, and whispered, "Don't make a noise." No one can tell anyone else. I'll tell you. ”

Zhou Jiao covered her mouth and smiled. She suspected that the old lady couldn't hold it back for a long time, she really didn't expect that the dignified ladies would read poetry and books, and they would also believe in these ghosts and gods.

The old lady saw Lin Lishan nodding again and again, satisfied. She whispered, "That person just now is a goddess, and he is very effective. I gave her the eight characters of Xiaozheng's birthday at the beginning.

She said that the child's parents have both died, and the child is still alive. The child suffered a lot in the first half of his life, and there was a great disaster between the ages of 30 and 40.

Isn't it very effective for you to hear about it? She doesn't tell fortunes for anyone now. I am her old friend, and I buy a lot of gold and silver candles from her every year. She just calculated it for Jiaojiao. ”

"Auntie, how much gold does she count?"

"Now she doesn't tell fortunes for others, and she doesn't collect money."

Zhou Jiao saw her triumphant and secretly smiled. Her aunt must have been fascinated by the other party. She never believed that. At the beginning, the other party must have heard the clues from the old lady's mouth and deduced it.

As for life and death, there was a danger every day in those days. A birthday is counted out, where is it so evil. There are not too many babies born at the same time every minute, so isn't everyone having the same fate?

"Jiaojiao, did you have a life-threatening accident in the first two years? She said that when you are 15-17 years old, there will be a big disaster, and it is also a matter of life and death. Just now she said that you have passed the threshold of life and death, and your future life will be smooth. ”

Zhou Jiao frowned, could it be that there is really such an evil thing? She subconsciously looked in the direction of the courtyard just now. The matter of life and death, it should be her who passed through this time.

"Grandma, what else did she say?"

When Mrs. Cheng saw her expression, she knew that she had been verified again.

She looked into the distance with adoring eyes and said, "She said you are now a spirit." After this level of life and death, my life will be smooth, and what I want will be sent to you in the future.

I don't worry about reporting your father's birthday to her again, your father's disaster has been solved. Your dad is forty-one years old, and he's had a great time. I'm at peace with that.

She said that your father's catastrophe will be ruined by your life and death. I have to let your dad remember this, and I will take good care of us Jiaojiao in the future. ”

The soul returned to its place, and Zhou Jiao pondered these four words. Then she laughed dumbly. She is really confused, and she really believes that her life will be smooth in the future. A crisis is coming. Who can say, who dares to say that nothing will happen in the future?

"Auntie, if you say this, Brother Zheng will not be in danger in the future, right? We're all right, aren't we? She didn't say anything else, did she? ”

Lin Lishan saw the old lady smiling and nodding and saying no, she was so happy that she couldn't stop giggling. After a while, she frowned and stared at Zhou Jiao.

"Alright. I'll tell you, right? We talk as we go. It's not good to stay here. Zhou Jiao pulled the two of them forward and whispered: "If I guessed correctly, the life and death calamity that the person said should be the day of peace." At that time, I relied on half of my parents-in-law's half-century-old ginseng to survive. Oh, by the way, this ginseng was picked by Xiao Wu on the mountain. ”

Mrs. Cheng said with a smile: "In the future, you must be filial to the little five fathers." Regardless of whether Xiao Wu is preparing or not, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are there. They will be the saviors of our family from now on. ”

"Fortunately, I married Xiao Wu. Auntie, I have to prepare a few chickens to stew for my son-in-law to make up, and I have to buy gifts to send to the Northeast. You can help me see what to buy. ”

Zhou Jiao watched Mrs. Cheng and her mother talking affectionately, and was secretly happy. She had already found out that the old lady was dissatisfied with her mother, but this was her mother.

She hoped that her dad wouldn't be caught in the middle. There is a Gu Ruyi, the family is already in crisis, plus outsiders interject a few words, her father, she knows too well. He will make a rational decision very quickly!

For the sake of seventeen years of waiting, she must protect Lin Lishan. Besides, her father is divorced, and it is unlikely that he will find another one with his character. Even if a partner is arranged above, but in the future, the son sues the father, and the wife sues the husband, who can love her father as much as her mother?
