The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

"Fifth Aunt, I'll handle these two fish."

"I'll come, I'll do."

"It's okay, I can do it, you let me practice my hands, and I will do it later."

"Hehe, that's fine, you come and you come."

Seeing that his aunt bought the fish back, Qiao Mingshan took the fish and processed it. He killed the fish, took the gills, and dug out the belly of the fish. What happened?"

"You split the fish in half and cut it into pieces." Seeing that the fish was killed, Qiao Minglang asked his cousin to cut the fish into pieces and sell it after a while. He made a gesture, "It should be about this size."

"Okay." Hearing this, Qiao Mingshan cut the fish in half according to his cousin's request, took out the middle fish bone, and cut the fish head into pieces.

Qiao Minglang, who was meeting with him over there, took a look at this big hall brother, and a smile flashed in his eyes. This big hall brother is diligent in doing things. Although he doesn't understand some things, he has been working hard to learn how to Be presentable.

Diligent people can learn things quickly and be proficient no matter where they go.

They had used up the fish soup they cooked in the morning, and there was a little soup residue left at the bottom of the pot. Qiao Minglang poured out the bottom of the soup, and cooked the second pot of fish soup.

This time, the fish was picked up after a little cooking. If it is cooked for too long, the meat will be old and the taste will not be so delicious.

While the group of people eating in front passed by, and no one came to eat at the moment, Qiao Minglang ordered a pot of noodles. When the fish soup was ready, he filled a bowl of noodles for one person, "Everyone, eat." Fill your stomach with bowls of noodles, and you will have the strength to continue working after a while."

Everyone has been busy all morning, and the bowl of porridge they ate before going out in the morning is long gone, and they have to be busy until the afternoon to go back.

After such a whole day, I can't survive without eating.

"Alas, why give me fish? I often eat this at home." Huang Yan took the noodles, looking at such a big bowl of noodles with a piece of fish and a lot of tofu on it, she was a little bit reluctant to eat it .

"Auntie, sit down and eat, Auntie, you have been busy all morning." Qiao Minglang said with a smile.

Seeing that no one was eating at the moment, Huang Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat down to eat noodles.

"Father, it's time to eat a bowl of noodles." Qiao Mingshan brought the noodles to his father.

"Hey, good." Uncle Qiao took the noodles, took a sip of the noodle soup, took a bite of the noodles with his chopsticks, couldn't help but hummed, and nodded. Many people come to eat noodles here.

I don't know where my little nephew learned how to cook. The noodles are so delicious.

"Third sister, fourth younger brother, you two come here." Qiao Minglang didn't forget about the two little ones in their family, and asked the two younger brothers and younger sister to sit over there and eat noodles.

Qiao Mingyong didn't need his elder brother to bring it, but he went to bring a bowl of noodles to eat by himself. He didn't stop his chopsticks from holding the bowl, and he ate up a big bowl of noodles in one breath, even the last one in the bowl. I drank all the soup in one mouthful, and I still have something to say, and I want to eat a second bowl.

But thinking about it, it was something that was sold for money. After eating one bowl, he didn't dare to ask for a second bowl.

After a busy morning and the hot weather, Qiao Minglang lost his appetite, so he drank a bowl of fish soup and put down the bowl and chopsticks after eating less than half a bowl of noodles.

It's much better for them to move to the stall here than to set up a stall outside, otherwise it's already sunny outside at this time.

When it was close to noon, after eleven o'clock, everyone would go to have lunch at this time, and people came to their stall to eat noodles one after another, and they all had to get busy again.This is the case with the catering business. When the meal time comes, there will be many people coming to eat. Just like this, I have to be so busy that I get dizzy.

"A bowl of plain noodles."

"Okay, come on."

Qiao Minglang was in charge of cooking the noodles, while Qiao Mingshan was in charge of delivering noodles to people and collecting money by the way.

Huang Yan was in charge of cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, took the bowls and chopsticks to the basin behind and washed them clean, and brought them back to continue to use.They were not too busy here, and seeing that there were not enough people there, Uncle Qiao asked his youngest son to go there to help.

At this time, they didn't know the leaders and teachers of the school, and they took the TV reporter to find their village.

***

Every year when the results of the high school entrance examination come out, the leaders of the city will pay more attention to them, and the city's TV stations will report on them.

After learning that this year's No. 1 student in the city is a student from the middle school in the town below, and his score is far behind No. 2, the leader of the city's TV station sent a reporter down to interview this year's student. The number one in the senior high school entrance examination.

When the reporter from the TV station went to No. [-] Middle School in the town, the leaders and teachers of the school personally took the reporters to the village where the student lived.

The village head and cadres in the village saw the leaders and teachers of the school, as well as the reporters from the city. After asking, they found out that there was a champion in the high school entrance examination in their village, and the reporters came to interview him.

"Oh, yes, that child is from our village. You are looking for that child, and I will take you to his home." The village chief and the village cadres happily took people to Qiao Minglang's home to look for him. past.

"This is it, this is the child's home."

"Is anyone at home?" Seeing that the door to the yard was closed and the door to the house was open, the village cadre shouted from outside.

Qiao Xiaohui, who was in the house, heard the voice and came out from the inside. When she saw their village head outside, bringing some strangers she didn't know to their house, she asked a little nervously and frightened: "Who are you looking for?" Is there something wrong?"

"Excuse me, is this the home of classmate Qiao Minglang Qiao?" A teacher asked.

"Are you looking for my brother?" The twins ran out of the house and ran to her feet. Qiao Xiaohui grabbed one with each hand to prevent them from getting too close to the door.

"This is Minglang's home. I'm his head teacher Wang Xin Wang, this one is our school's director Zhang, and this one is a reporter from the TV station. I'm here to interview your brother. Is your brother at home?" ?” Seeing the little girl looking at them with a vigilant expression, Wang Xin stepped forward and introduced with a smile.

"My brother is not at home, why don't you... come in and sit down first." Qiao Xiaohui thought for a while, went up to open the door, saw the village head uncle said hello, and invited everyone to come in and sit down.

"Then everyone go in and sit down first, and I'll ask someone to invite the elders of that child over." The village chief asked everyone to sit inside first, and asked a village cadre to ask a few words, and asked the cadre to invite Mr. Qiao over.

The living room in the house is small, with a dining table and a few stools placed in the corner.

Qiao Xiaohui moved a few stools for everyone to sit on, and stood beside the twins with a bit of embarrassment on her face, not knowing what to do.Seeing strangers coming to their home, the twins hugged their sister's legs from left to right, looking at these strangers who came to their home with fear and curiosity in their eyes.

It was the first time for Wang Xin to come to his student's home. After entering the room, he looked around the room and had a general understanding of the situation in the home.Looking at the little girl standing at the door, and the two similar-looking twins at her feet, she asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Qiao Xiaohui." Qiao Xiaohui responded.

"Are you Minglang's younger sister? These two are your younger brothers?" Wang Xin asked when he saw that the twins were still so young.

"Not all younger brothers, this is the younger brother, and this is the younger sister." Qiao Xiaohui pointed to the younger brother on the left, and then pointed to the younger sister on the right.

"How many brothers and sisters do you have in your family?"

"Brother, I, and two younger brothers and two younger sisters."

Teacher Wang quickly figured out how many brothers and sisters there were in the student's family. Seeing that there were no adults in the family, he asked, "Where are your parents, have they gone out to work too?"

The little girl's face was silent for a moment, she pursed her lips, and said, "They're not here anymore. Mom, I, she left last year, and Dad, she also left not long ago."

Wang Xin was stunned for a while, not knowing that his student's parents were gone.

Knowing that he accidentally asked a question that shouldn't be asked just now, Teacher Wang paused, and then continued to ask: "Then your brother, where is Mingming? Where did he go?"

"My brother, I went to the town to sell things with my uncle." Qiao Xiaohui raised her head, glanced at her brother's teacher, and asked.

"Village chief, what's the situation in this student's family?" Director Zhang who followed heard what the little girl said, just like the village chief who brought them here to inquire about the situation in this family.The reporter from the TV station also looked at the village head, and was also a little curious about the situation in the home of the top student in the high school entrance examination. Judging from this, the student's home does not look very good.

"Their family is pitiful to say the least... Since you ask, I will tell you about it." The village head knew what happened in their village, so he told the school leaders and the city about the family's affairs. The reporter here simply said it again.

At this time, Mr. Qiao was invited by the village cadres.

Seeing the old man coming, the village head got up and invited the old man to sit down, and introduced to everyone, "This one is Qiao Minglang's grandfather." After that, he introduced to the old man who these people are and why they came thing.

It was the first time that Mr. Qiao had seen the leaders and reporters of the school in most of his life, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

"Grandpa, hello." The reporter from the TV station stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'm Liu Xue, a reporter from Jiangcheng Satellite TV. Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Oh, tell me." After a brief moment of tension, the old man quickly calmed down, and was invited to sit on a chair.

"Excuse me, do you know that your grandson won the first place in the city in the senior high school entrance examination this year?"

"Today is the first time I heard of it."

After the reporter learned about the situation in the student's home, he proposed that they go directly to the town, and he could also find the classmate for a practical interview.The school leaders and teachers naturally have no problem.

The head of the village hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Mr. Qiao went out with everyone, and told his granddaughter to stay at home with the two young ones, not to run around.

"Grandpa is easy to go, I won't take them out."

After everyone went out, Qiao Xiaohui took her younger siblings behind her and watched these people come to their house. The person left after a while, saying that she wanted to go to the town to find her brother.She glanced at the two little guys at her feet, and finally took them home.
