The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

In this family, the old man's study upstairs is a forbidden place in the family, and the mother and son are never allowed to enter there.Thinking of Zhou Xing talking with the old man inside, Xu Haimei's heart was churning, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Ruirui, go and call grandpa and elder brother to come out, just say that we are going to cut the cake, let grandpa and elder brother come out to eat cake." Xu Haimei didn't dare to knock on the door of the study, so she let her younger son go.Children are young, and adults dare not blame them.

But if she goes, it will be different, and people will think that she has ulterior motives.

"Okay, mom, you have to wait for me to cut the cake."

"Okay, mom is waiting for you."

Zhou Rui was reluctant on the face, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation to eat cake, so he went upstairs and stood at the door of the study, hesitating.Looking down at his mother, Xu Haimei waved to her son and asked him to knock on the door.

He turned around and glanced at the door in front of him, and just as he was about to knock on the door, the door of the study was opened from the inside.

The two brothers were facing each other, Zhou Xing looked down at the younger brother who stood in front of him, the two brothers looked at each other and hated each other, they didn't like each other.Zhou Rui was full of anger, and said unhappily: "Mom asked me to ask Grandpa to eat cake with you."

"Grandpa, I'm going back to school first, and I'll come back to see you after the holiday." Zhou Xing turned around and said to his grandfather behind him.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Go."

"Get out of the way, you are blocking my way." Seeing the person blocking the way in front of him, Zhou Xing asked to get out of the way.

Zhou Rui subconsciously stood aside, and Zhou Xing walked out of the study, went to the stairs, and went downstairs.Zhou Rui, who was standing behind, looked at his brother who had left, but didn't react for a while.

Going down the stairs, Zhou Xing's footsteps did not stop, and he went straight to the door.

Xu Haimei, who was standing in the living room, watched the person come down, and then she wanted to call for him, but Zhou Xing left without looking back.Seeing his son coming down from behind, he beckoned his son to come over.Zhou Rui threw himself into his mother's arms, and called out "Mom" aggrievedly.

Knowing that her son had been wronged, Xu Haimei held her son in her arms. The mother and son looked like they were being bullied.

"It's unreasonable. Looking at him, he still thinks that my old man exists!" Seeing his son leave without even saying hello to his dear old man, Zhou Jianguo almost got a heart attack from anger.

Nie Zi, this Nie Zi! ! !

It doesn't matter if this kind of son is not born, he was born to piss him off.

If I had known that I should have strangled this son when he was born, maybe he would live a few more years!

"Jianguo, don't be angry with the child, he is still young and not sensible." Xu Haimei reached out and patted her son on the shoulder, asking him to help put the candles.The child is easy to coax, and a little thing will divert his attention, so he is happy to help his mother insert the candles on the cake.

"He's still young, do you think he's still three years old!" Zhou Jianguo said, pointing to his departing son.

"Jianguo." Xu Haimei pulled her husband's hand, glanced at her son who was happily helping her insert candles on the cake, and said in a low voice: "For the sake of my birthday, let's have a happy birthday with me .”

"Okay, let's celebrate your birthday with you, celebrate your birthday with you."

Looking at his beautiful and gentle wife, and seeing his cute and sensible young son, Zhou Jianguo took a deep breath before calming down the pressure in his heart, "It's just right for him to leave, so he won't be in the way of our eyes at home."

"Today is your birthday, let's cut the cake, cut the cake."

"Hey, okay, as long as you and Ruirui are by my side, I feel like I'm the happiest woman in the world." Xu Haimei leaned on the man's arm, her face showed the sexual happiness and satisfaction of a little woman.

Looking at the door of the study room upstairs that was still closed, she said to her husband, "Why don't we go and call Abba, let's call Abba to come down and cut the cake together."

"You don't need to shout, Dad doesn't eat cakes." Zhou Jianguo waved his hand, and no one called the old man to come down.Seeing this, although Xu Haimei felt a little pity in her heart, she knew that the old man would not come, so she had no choice but to give up, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, let's cut the cake."

"Mom, I want to eat this piece of chocolate on the cake."

"Eh, good."

The mother and son joyfully lit candles, made a wish, and cut the cake to eat.

The old man in the study was standing by the window, as if he knew his grandfather was looking at him, Zhou Xing raised his head, saw the grandfather standing by the window, waved to him, and got into the car.The driver turned his head and glanced at their young master, and asked, "Eldest young master, should we go?"

"Go." Zhou Xing withdrew his gaze and looked forward.

The old man standing upstairs watched the car in which the eldest grandson was sitting, and his back looked a little lonely.

***

After returning to his apartment and sitting on the sofa in the living room for a while, Zhou Xing got up, went into the bedroom and found his backpack, stuffed something into it, and came out of the house with the backpack on his shoulders.

Put on your shoes at the entrance, open the door, and go out.

On this day, Qiao Minglang and his cousin had been busy all day, from sunrise to sunset, before they cleaned up their small shop. They arranged the tables and chairs they bought, washed the dishes and placed them on the Dry the water in the basket.

The tables and chairs are second hand and after being scrubbed clean they look clean, not as good as new but functioning.

There are also gas stoves, stoves for burning coal, and large pots for cooking soup. The briquettes and gas bottles they ordered will not be delivered to them until tomorrow.When everything arrives tomorrow, their shop will be ready to open.

In the end, there was still a signboard missing. Qiao Mingshan could make the signboard by himself, as long as he found the wood.But they still lack tools, and even if they find wood, they can't do it.

At this time, instead of spending money to buy tools, it is better to go and see where you can borrow tools. Qiao Mingshan wants to wait until tomorrow to find an acquaintance he knew before, to see if he can buy wood and borrow tools to do it himself. Also save a lot of money.

"I'll go see where I can buy wood tomorrow, and then I'll finish the signs. The left and right things are not in order, so we may not be able to open tomorrow. We will take a day off tomorrow and reopen the day after tomorrow." It's complete. I don't know if it can be opened tomorrow morning. It's not bad for a day and a half. Qiao Mingshan decided to open it the day after tomorrow.

"Okay." Qiao Minglang has no objection to this, it doesn't make any difference whether it's one day earlier or one day later.

Seeing that it was getting late, they didn't even have dinner. Qiao Mingshan didn't want to run away after working all day, "Let's find a place to have dinner first."

"Okay." Qiao Minglang wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hands, and stood up from the stool.

After a day's work, the two brothers were hungry. They found a noodle shop and ordered two large bowls of noodles and a few sesame seed cakes. The two of them sat down and ate.

Qiao Mingshan was biting into the biscuits, and when he saw his cousin eating the noodles, a smile appeared on his face.In the past, he thought this cousin was too delicate and had a girlish personality. After getting to know him, he realized that this cousin's personality was not like a girl at all. .

"Are you going to class tomorrow?" Qiao Mingshan asked, remembering that tomorrow is Monday and his cousin still has class.

"Yeah." Qiao Minglang nodded, thought about it in his heart, and said, "I can come out after school at noon and afternoon. I'll ask the teacher tomorrow to see if I can apply to live outside." If you go outside, it will be more convenient to go in and out every day, and you don't have to climb over the wall to go out.

The main reason is that the school wall is a bit high for him, and he may not be able to climb it alone without external help.

Thinking of going over the wall, he thought of his classmates who lived in the same dormitory as him.

"Is that so, can the teacher let you live outside?" Qiao Mingshan thought of himself. Although the bed is a bit small, two people can fit in. "If the school allows you to live outside, You can move to live with me instead of renting another place."

"Well, I'll go back and ask, and I'll give you the answer." Now Qiao Minglang is not sure either.

After the two of them had dinner, Qiao Minglang went back to school, and Qiao Mingshan went back to his place of residence.

On Sunday night, the students all returned to school. There were obviously more people walking around the school than the previous two days, and the student dormitory building became lively.

In the dormitory, Chen Junfei came to the school from home, and this time he brought his guitar with him.But when he arrived at the dormitory, he was the only one there, and no one else showed up.

Not long after, Tong Guan was also sent to school by the car of the family. When he saw Chen Junfei brought a guitar, he begged Chen Junfei to play it for him, "Wow, you are so good, I can't even play it." These."

After being praised and admired by his classmates, Chen said proudly: "This is not easy, just play with it." Then he began to teach Tong Guan how to play the guitar, "Try it."

"Is that so?" Tong Guan hugged the guitar and plucked the strings like what Chen Junfei said.

While the two of them were playing guitar, the door of the dormitory was opened from the outside.Seeing that their other dormitory had arrived, Chen Junfei greeted Zhou Xing, "Here we are."

"En." Zhou Xing walked into the dormitory, threw his backpack on his bed, and sat down on the lower bunk bed with no expression on his face.

"Want to come and play together?" Chen Junfei said, "I brought my own guitar at home, do you want to come and play together?"

"Another day." Zhou Xing was not in the mood, and turned his head to look at the bed where he was sitting on his buttocks. The quilt and pillows on the bed were neatly stacked, and there was nothing extra.Qiao Minglang was not there, so he asked Chen Junfei, "Is the one on my lower bunk not here yet?"
