My years as a fortune teller

The meal at Tian Ruifu's house was really good. First of all, the chickens were raised by themselves, not the kind that grew up on feed, and the meat was quite delicious.It's just that his wife's craftsmanship is so poor that she almost ruined this pot of delicious chicken.As for the rest of the dishes, they are all vegetables fresh from the field.

But there is one thing I am not happy about at the dinner table. Tian Ruifu's wife puts chicken ribs and other meat for her daughter.The little girl can hardly eat it, so she took a few bites and put it aside.Immediately, Tian Ruifu's wife will curse, meaning that he doesn't know how to cherish food.

It sounds like it's good for children, but the little ones who are all bones won't eat it.It's not convenient for me to interrupt, Gao Shengwen and Cui Erye also helped to say that children don't know how to cherish food.The little girl was wronged, her eyes filled with tears.So I picked two pieces of meat for her, and the girl wiped away her tears and bowed her head to eat.

After dinner, Tian Ruifu called Erye Cui and Gao Shengwen to play cards together.I still have the old habit of standing in the yard and walking around to move around.Just watch the little girl take all the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and then start to clean up the table.

I'm dizzy!It is too unreasonable for such a big child to do these housework.So I went over to look at the little girl, touched her head and said, "How old are you? What grade are you in? Are you studying well?"

After the little girl glanced at me, she lowered her head and held the corner of her clothes with her hands without speaking.I smiled and patted her head, and was about to continue communicating with her, when Tian Ruifu's daughter-in-law yelled, the little girl turned and ran into the kitchen in fright.

It seems that Tian Ruifu's wife hates this girl very much, hey!After all, it's not personal.Thinking of this, I looked at Tian Ruifu's wife and said, "What grade does this little girl go to? How is her academic performance?"

His daughter-in-law went downstairs with the child in her arms, and said to me: "I'm in the second grade, and I can do a good job in my studies. It's just that I'm very skinny and not very obedient. You saw it just now, and I just stopped doing it in such a blink of an eye. The work has escaped." He said as he walked to my side.

This remark made me a little angry, but I can't say it yet.So he said: "Not all children are like this, this is normal. Besides, she is only a little older, so she must have her own ideas in her heart when she does these housework."

"Hey!" She sighed and said, "Master Zhang, to tell you the truth, I am under a lot of pressure. This girl is not my own child, so I treat her better than my own. It's cold Hurry up and change the cotton, and try to think about her if you have something delicious. But this girl just doesn’t want to talk to you, so she locks herself in a small house if she has nothing to do. People who don’t know think that I abused her. Hey, it’s hard to be a stepmother ah!"

I smiled after listening to her and didn't answer her. I saw the food for the children.After such a snack, let him wash the pot, and I don't know how to let the children learn first.This stepmother is really good, what can I say!

I was chatting with Tian Ruifu's daughter-in-law when I saw the little girl come out of the kitchen.He glared at his stepmother with his eyes, and then stomped upstairs.At this time someone knocked on the door, and Tian Ruifu's wife opened the door to see some poker players.

Tian Ruifu's daughter-in-law came in with a smile. I thought, these people must be playing cards.So I told Gao Shengwen and Cui Erye, and took the book up to the second floor to read the book.When I passed the little girl's house, I stopped and knocked on the door gently.

After a while, the little girl opened the door, looked at me standing outside, tilted her little head, wondering what was she thinking?I smiled and knelt down, touched her head and said, "Uncle, can you go in and see your little room?"

The little girl glanced back at her house, then nodded at me.I followed her into the room, and then looked around. This is a single room, but the light inside is very dim.It should be that the wattage of the light bulb is not enough, so it seems that the room is very dark.

A low single bed was covered with a very thin quilt. I reached out and touched it, and it was a little damp.Close to the head of the bed and the window, there is a small table built with wooden boards.Directly opposite the door, there is a simple wardrobe.

Seeing this, I was so sad that I let out a long sigh, and bent down to read the girl's textbook on the small table.Above are the Chinese and mathematics textbooks for the second grade, and there are two test papers.

I picked it up and saw that the two test papers were marked with a hundred points with a red pen.I smiled and said to her: "You are very smart. You have scored 95 points in both subjects. This is better than what my uncle did back then. I used to get a maximum of [-] points."

The little girl laughed when she heard it, and I looked at the name on the test paper again.He smiled and said to her: "Aha, so your name is Tian Zhaodi. Your grandfather gave you this name, or your father gave it to you."

"Father!" Two words came out of the girl's mouth.Then he grabbed the test paper in his hand and sat down at the small table.The child's head was lowered, and the light was completely blocked.She had to lie very close to see the contents of the book clearly.

Thinking of this, I told her not to write. I walked into the room Tian Ruifu prepared for me, unscrewed the light bulb in that room, and took it to the girl's room to replace it.Then he said with a smile, "Hurry up and do your homework, and go to bed early after finishing!"

As I said this, I turned around and was about to leave, when I heard the girl shouting from behind me: "Uncle, you'd better give that to me! If Auntie finds out, she will definitely scold me and maybe even beat me." about to cry.

I hurriedly knelt down on one leg, wiped the little girl's tears with my hands and said, "Why did she beat you and scold you? How could you change the light bulb at such a young age? I must have changed this for you. She beat you what?"

The little girl sobbed, and said to me: "Auntie said that it is useless for girls to go to school, and I waste electricity by reading late every day. Why not save more and use it for my younger brother in the future." She wiped her tears as she spoke.

Weighs!What age is this, and there is still such a patriarchal thought.This is not to let children use it, how much can you save in the future?No matter how stingy he is, it's not like this, after all, he is Tian Ruifu's child.Even if a bowl of water is uneven, try to be as fair as possible!

Thinking of this, I said to her: "Don't be afraid of having an uncle. Tomorrow, your father and aunt will definitely be honest. You will do your homework today, so don't be afraid to hear anything?" The girl looked at me and nodded. nod.

Just when I stood up and was about to turn around and leave, a picture appeared in front of me in the diagonally opposite corner of the wall.I walked over gently and saw a picture of a middle-aged woman.In terms of appearance, it looks a bit like Tian Zhaodi.In front of the photo, there is a small bowl containing vegetables.

Seeing this, I looked back at Tian Zhaodi, who was following me, and said, "Is the one on this photo your mother? Why did you put the photo here? Who asked you to do this?"

Tian Zhaodi looked at me and said, "Auntie doesn't let me put my mother's photo downstairs, saying that it's unlucky for my mother to commit suicide. I just put it here secretly, steal some leftovers every day when I wash the pot, and put it away. Let mom eat here."

The child's words made me feel like I had knocked over the five-flavored bottle. I took her into my arms, stroked her head gently and said, "You are such a good and sensible child. If your mother knew, she would definitely happy."

"En!" Tian Zhaodi replied with affirmation: "My mother praised me just now as a good boy with filial piety! She also said that she will wear floral clothes for me in the future and take me to many places to play." She said with a bright face smile.

But my heart skipped a beat, what does this indicate?Could it be that Tian Zhaodi will die soon, how is this possible?Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "Does your mother visit you often?"

"Well," Xiao Zhaodi nodded and said, "Mom often comes to accompany me, and sometimes I can't eat enough. Mom will also bring me food, and she will sit by my bed at night and sing to me. Tell me stories and lull me to sleep!"

I was completely shocked when I heard this. Could it be that the woman in red I saw at that time was Xiao Zhaodi's mother?A red shroud is somewhat taboo.I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing in the room for no reason...
