Chapter 24: Studying and Getting Married
There are groups of people chatting at the gate of the courtyard, and if you look closely, there are still a few taxis waiting for work at the door.
It's the driver who chats, maybe I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient to take a taxi to see things, so I came to the door in advance to wait for customers.
Walking into the courtyard gate, there is no garden for farmers to grow vegetables, and there are no plants, just a flat land, a flat land paved with cement blocks, the size of two basketball courts, just like entering a park.
At the end of the line of sight is a row of tall tiled houses, and the exterior walls are also very high-grade marble tiles.
The courtyard was full of people, some were smoking, some were chatting, and some were simply sleeping on the ground in winter, so lively.
The wife took Cai Gen without stopping in the yard, walked to the row of houses, and went directly into the house.
I can't see anything outside the house, and when I enter the house, I find that the decoration is very simple, the cultural atmosphere is very strong, not at all like the ordinary farmhouse house, the spacious living room, the neat kitchen, a full set of modern facilities, even in the city, there are few people who can make it like this.
Passing through the living room, into the room on the left, a very long kang, with a kang table in the middle, and a kind-eyed grandmother sitting at the kang table.
There was a row of fire walls in the house, and a few people were seated, and the wife pulled Cai Gen and sat at the end of the fire wall, waiting for the call.
It's not the first time Cai Gen has seen things, but it's the first time for such a big show, and he is very curious, and he can't take his eyes off the old man on the kang.
The old man was saying something to a young man, his voice was very small, he couldn't hear clearly, said a few words, began to write on the paper of the kang table, folded a small bag, and handed it to the young man.
Then he lit a cigarette and began to smoke silently.
Taking the small bag, the guy took out a stack of money from his pocket and put it in a shoebox under the kang table, on which was written "Armani".
The young man walked out, and the old man didn't look at the money in the shoebox, and shouted,
"It's the 34th."
A young girl at the beginning of the wall of fire got up in response and hurriedly said,
"Yes, I'm number 34."
The girl was very young, very tall, and very fashionably dressed, with black leather boots and a black mink coat, showing luxury and fashion at the same time, sitting on a chair by the kang, and began to talk to the old man.
As the person in front of them was gone, Cai Gen and his wife moved forward from the wall of fire, getting closer to the old man and the girl, and could faintly hear the conversation between the master and the girl.
"Master, there seems to be someone outside my object recently, I didn't catch it, but it doesn't feel right."
"Girl, give me the birthday of you and your partner."
"Master, my name is Liu Xiaohua, on the fourth day of the first month of the 90th year, at 12 noon. My object is called Zhao Erniu and is a sheep, on the third day of the first month of 67, at 8 o'clock in the morning. ”
"Sheep, then 52 this year? Look at these eight characters, he has three marriages in front of him, and the fourth time for you. ”
"Three times? He didn't tell me that much, only twice. He also divorced after being with me. ”
"Look at this hour, it's not a serious job, it should be a partial wealth, and the partial wealth is very prosperous."
"My partner really doesn't have a serious job, he doesn't tell me what to do, and he still has some money, enough to eat and drink."
Speaking of which, the master, staring at the girl for a moment, continued,
"Looking at the girl's face, the marriage is also very tortuous, you are guilty of peach blossoms, and you don't obey it."
"Yes, yes, he used to be with me, and his wife didn't even control it." Speaking of which, the young girl felt as if she had exposed her identity as a junior, and quickly diverted the topic.
"Master, do you see if there is any way to get my subject to take care of it?"
The old man seemed to be thinking, and did not rush to answer, but wrote and drew on the kang table again, and finally made a decision,
"Girl, it's not impossible to let him take care of it, but the cause and effect are a bit big."
When the young girl heard this, she was very good, and took out two stacks of red tickets, 20,000 yuan, from her donkey brand bag, and put them in the broken shoebox under the kang table.
"Master, you help me, this is to honor the masters of the immortal family, you bother."
The old lady did not look at the money in the shoebox, nor did she speak, but picked up what she had just written, folded it carefully, and handed it to the young girl.
"Girl, take this thing, at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, go around your subject's head, three times to the left and three times to the right, and then stand in the door, face to the door, burn it, don't open the door until dawn."
The young girl carefully put away the paper bag, thanked her, and hurried out.
The old lady lit another cigarette, saw that the shoebox seemed to be full, and casually poured the money in the shoebox into an old-fashioned wooden box behind her, and then put the shoebox under the kang table, and continued, "No. 36, right?" ”
Cai Gen and his wife just wanted to get up, and an eldest sister hurriedly stood up from the fire wall, ran to the old man in a few steps, held up the white paper in her hand, and said anxiously,
"Master, it's my turn, I, number 35."
The wife glanced at Cai Gen, and the two moved forward at the same time, and the next one was herself.
The old lady looked at the person in front of her, as if she had seen it, and said plainly,
"You're here again, there's nothing wrong with your child."
The eldest sister was dressed very plainly, and her coat had been worn for several years at a glance, and she quickly replied,
"My family Lingling, the academic performance has declined very seriously, and in the last midterm exam, she fell from the first to the third in the whole grade.
You said that it was not easy for me and his father, the mine went bankrupt, and we are both not yet of retirement age, and we pay our own insurance every year.
It's only 1,500 a month to go to the restaurant to wash dishes, and the child will make up more than 10,000 yuan a month.
You said that this kid is not angry, is it something to provoke, you can quickly take a look. ”
It seems that the eldest sister is really anxious about her daughter's study, and when she talks about washing the dishes by herself, she cries, and her heart is really bitter.
After hearing this, the old lady looked at the teary-eyed eldest sister, and finally stretched out her hand and began to calculate, muttering something in her mouth, and after a long time, she took out the cigarette, lit another one, and said to the eldest sister,
"You don't have to worry, walking at night, you run into a faceless one, a trivial matter, I'll write you a charm, collect your heart, and send it away."
After speaking, he began to write and draw on the kang table, and then carefully folded it and handed it to the eldest sister.
But just after taking two steps, I suddenly thought about it, I didn't give money, so I smiled apologetically, took out a small cloth bag from the pocket of my pants, it was a small handkerchief, some years, slowly opened, inside was a thin stack of red tickets, like a dozen, without any hesitation, all put in the shoebox under the kang table, and then walked out.
The old man extinguished the cigarette and lit another cigarette, as if he had smoked two or three puffs of a cigarette.
"Let's be No. 36 below, fourth, let's cook the meal, it's almost time."
A female voice came from outside the house in agreement.
Cai Gen thought, the number bought for 200 yuan was finally called.
