Chapter 002: The Seeker

It was not easy for Xiaohua to give me the opportunity to meet her parents this time, so I naturally prepared carefully.

I first went for a haircut, then went home and changed into a T-shirt and cropped pants of a certain sports brand, and went around the county shopping mall a few times to buy some supplements for Xiaohua's parents.

The money spent on these supplements is almost enough to cover a month's living expenses for me and my grandfather.

It was almost noon, so I got on the big 28 bicycle at home and took the things I bought to Xiaohua's house.

This big 28 Phoenix brand bicycle is still left by my dad at that time, and my grandfather has been reluctant to throw it away, and he has bought new parts to repair it several times, so he can barely ride.

Naturally, I wanted to buy a new one, but my grandfather adamantly disagreed, saying that I should either ride the old one or not ride it at all.

When I pedaled Da 28 to Xiaohua's downstairs, I saw that she was already standing there waiting for me, I stopped the car, and before I could say something happy, Xiaohua said, "Why are you riding this broken car again?" ”

Before I could speak, Xiaohua said again: "I called you, why didn't you answer?" ”

I took out the Nokia "brick" from my pocket and looked at it: "I rode a bicycle just now, I didn't hear it, what's wrong, I made a dozen phone calls, I didn't arrive, it's only half past eleven, it's not too late." ”

As I spoke, I took down the two boxes of supplements hanging on the handlebars of my bicycle, and Xiaohua grabbed my hand and said, "Li Chuyi, let's break up." ”

"What!" I thought Xiaohua was joking.

Xiaohua continued: "Let's break up, let's talk about meeting at half past eleven, but you only came downstairs at half past eleven, you don't know how to cherish this last opportunity, and tell you the truth, today my mother called you over, just to invite you to have a meal, and then talk about the two of us breaking up, I was afraid that you would be embarrassed at the dinner table for a while, so I stopped you downstairs, let's divide it like this, you take the things, let's not meet in the future." ”

Saying that, Xiaohua pushed it, and as soon as I stepped back, I knocked down my big 28 bicycle, because my car was too broken and came slowly.

"Bang dang!"

There was a bang, Xiaohua opened her mouth and didn't speak, and entered the door to close the door of the unit building, leaving me standing in front of the big 28 bicycle that fell to the ground.

I thought about calling Xiaohua again, but the call was answered by Xiaohua's mother, and before I could speak, I heard the shouting over there: "Okay, my Xiaohua has made it clear to you, you should leave quickly, and don't pee to see your virtue, if you want money or not, if you want education or not, if you want to work without a job, why marry my Xiaohua, hurry up." ”

"you!"

I yelled and hung up the phone, then picked up my big 28 bike and walked away with the two boxes of "valuable" supplements.

I still have a receipt for this supplement, it says that it can be returned within three days, I have to go back and return it, this money is enough for me to sell several wreaths.

Breaking up with Xiaohua, I was not unhappy, but I was a little distressed, and I felt sorry for the money I had spent.

I returned the supplement and went straight back to our store, where I went in with two middle-aged men, and my grandfather was sitting in a rocking chair watching TV and not greeting customers.

So when I went in, I greeted them with a smile, and asked them who had gone to their house, and asked them what they needed, without waiting for them to answer.

When I asked, one of the middle-aged men looked at me carefully, then looked at my grandfather and said, "Shenxiang senior, is this your grandson, I didn't expect them to grow so big." ”

Hey, who are these people who know my grandfather's former nickname?

My grandfather didn't say anything, he continued to lie in the rocking chair and watch TV, and the middle-aged man who spoke didn't get angry and said to my grandfather: "What about me, I came this time not for anything else, just to ask for your old man's hanging, as much as you want." ”

My grandfather glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "I said, I'm sealed, and I won't help anyone with physiognomy or divination anymore, you go find someone else." ”

The middle-aged man still refused to leave, and said to my grandfather: "Divine appearance, although there are many physiognomy masters in the world, but the divination is as powerful as you, but it is difficult to find one or two, you let me find someone else, isn't it embarrassing for me?" ”

Without waiting for my grandfather to speak, I stepped forward and said to the middle-aged man: "Okay, we only sell wreaths and shrouds here, if you don't buy them, let's leave quickly. ”

I'm going to push it.

At this time, the middle-aged man who had not spoken was about to come up to stop me, but he was stopped by the person who had been talking: "Old Qiu, don't do it, this is the family of the gods, how can you come nonsense?" ”

The middle-aged man known as Lao Qiu stepped aside.

And the middle-aged man turned his head to look at me and my grandfather and said, "Shenxiang, then we will leave first, but I will come again until you promise to help me divination, only you can help me solve this matter." ”

When this middle-aged man said this, I paid a little attention to his face, and the eyebrows were asymmetrical, and the difference was a little big.

The eyebrows are brothers' houses, and people with this physiognomy numerically say that there will be half-siblings.

At the same time, one of his eyebrows is relatively thick and short, and numerology shows that it is a brotherly discord.

And his age looks like he should be around forty years old, and the fortune of the passing year at this stage generally looks at the two places above the eyes, below the eyebrows, slightly close to the corners of the eyes of the young yin and the young yang, both of which are a little gloomy, indicating that his past two years of fortune are not very good, and it can even be said to be a little bad.

In addition, if he is thirty-nine years old, it is the year of fire and water, and his luck is low, and if he does not handle it well, there will be disaster; If he is forty, it belongs to the year of fire and earth, and fire gives birth to earth, and the first appearance of earth mastering man is the year when things in him will bear fruit.

As for the quality of the result, it is not easy to judge for the time being, because there is no difference in other parts of his face, if there is no accident, it is mostly a mixed result, of course, if you want to break it more finely, then you have to look at his palm print, or directly give him a hexagram.

In addition, there were no other signs on his face, only the disagreement in the brother's palace, which means that his disaster was probably caused by his brothers and sisters, so he came to ask my grandfather about it this time, most of which is also the case.

I looked at the middle-aged man a few more times, and he asked me curiously, "Little brother, do you know how to read faces?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "A little." ”

He asked me, "Do you see anything?" ”

I turned my head to look at my grandfather, he was still watching TV, as if he didn't care about the situation on my side, I thought about it for a while and told the middle-aged man about the 1510 I just saw, after listening to me, he was stunned for a moment and then said: "God, God, God, your grandson is also very good, he is all right, I did have some conflicts with my half-brother, and...; …; ”

Before he could finish speaking, my grandfather sat up from the rocking chair and said, "Okay, I don't want to hear about you, if you want to say, then come back tomorrow, get here first today, you go first." ”

After my grandfather finished speaking, the middle-aged man didn't continue, but nodded respectfully, and then left the shroud shop with a smile.

As soon as they left, I asked my grandfather who those people were.

Instead of answering my question, my grandfather asked me to close the door of the shop, and I asked curiously, no longer in business?

My grandfather said, "It's not that I don't do it, it's that I have no business today, you go back to the house with me, I have something to tell you." ”

This was the first time since my parents died, and my grandfather had spoken to me so seriously.

I had to close the door of the shop as my grandfather told me and follow him back into the house.

When I got back to the house, my grandfather asked me to kneel down in front of my parents' shrines, and I did so, but I already had a premonition that something was about to happen.

After I knelt down, my grandfather handed me a few sticks of incense and asked me to put on the incense, and when I was done, my grandfather said, "On the first day of junior high school, I will explain something to you in front of your parents today." ”

I nodded and asked, "Grandpa, what's the matter, so formal?" ”

My grandfather sighed and said, "There are too many things for me to say, I can only say that some of your lives, I can't control them, and I can't suppress them, and those who should come will always come, but I can't help you anymore because I'm leaving." ”

Hearing my grandfather say this, I was surprised: "Grandpa, you are going to die, have you counted it for yourself?" You can't die, I'm the only relative in this world. ”

As soon as I finished crying, my grandfather scolded: "You, who said I was going to die, I meant that I was leaving, leaving this county, I can't be with you anymore, that's not good for you, if you stay with me again, sooner or later it will hurt you, I don't have much, I can't say more, in short, you remember, grandpa left you for your good." ”

I still wanted to say something, my grandfather said: "Don't worry, I will leave everything in the family to you, I will only take away two-thirds of our savings, and leave one-third for you to maintain your life, of course, the rent in the future, the income from the wreath shop's business, all belong to you, you can also use the skills I taught you to earn money, but one thing you have to remember, don't try to find me, otherwise it will be a catastrophe, just like your parents at the beginning." ”

My grandfather is leaving, and I'm already very sad, and he's going to take two-thirds of my wife, and I'm even more sad...; …;

So after my grandfather finished speaking, I cried.

My grandfather didn't talk nonsense, he explained these things, simply packed up some things, and then left, too many words didn't tell me, and he didn't let me go to see him off.

As for the middle-aged man tomorrow, my grandfather said let me look at it myself, and if I calculate it correctly, I will need some money, and if I can't calculate it, I will carry it myself.

Grandpa is gone, Xiaohua broke up with me, and I am the only one left in this county.

What is my fate?

And I always felt that my grandfather ran away with two-thirds of my wife, in order to escape the burden of marrying my daughter-in-law, in other words, I forced my grandfather away...; …;

Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt a little uneasy about my conscience.
