The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

"Uncle, why are you here?" Qiao Minglang had just woken up early in the morning when he heard someone knocking on the door.Walking out of the house, I saw my uncle standing outside. He opened the door with the key and asked someone to come in and sit down.

Zhang Huaiyuan took two steps forward, still standing at the door, not intending to go in and sit in the house, and said: "I won't go in and sit in, there are cars waiting for me outside."

He found a friend to drive him here, and he will go to the town to take the morning bus to the city in a while.

After a pause, Zhang Huaiyuan continued: "I'm going to leave today. I'll go to the city first... Maybe I'll go back to Guangcheng directly." People, when it's over, the two of them will go back to Guangcheng together.

He originally only planned to come back for the New Year, and left in two days.It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes now, and he doesn't feel very relieved about his old father at home, so he wants to come over to say hello to his nephew.

Qiao Minglang saw something wrong with his uncle's expression, and asked worriedly, "Uncle, did something happen?"

"I told my dad yesterday... that I like men, and my dad was very angry. If you are free, go and see your grandpa." Zhang Huaiyuan sighed after finishing speaking, and reached out to pat his nephew. Shoulder.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the family took a few nephews back to their natal family to visit relatives yesterday, but none of them have come back yet.The old father was alone at home. If he really got angry at him, he would never forgive himself in his life.

Zhang Huaiyuan had no choice but to come to find his nephew, and let the nephew go to see the old man.

When he left, the door of the bedroom where his father slept was still closed, and he didn't know whether the people in the room were awake or asleep, so he was not very relieved.

He is the youngest son in the family. He was spoiled by his father and elder brothers and sisters since he was a child. The relationship between father and son has been very good these years.Only in this matter, Zhang Huaiyuan couldn't deceive his family, he couldn't hurt an innocent woman, and he couldn't disappoint that man's love and affection for him.At this time, he felt that it would be better for the father and son to calm down.

Qiao Minglang was stunned for a moment when he heard his uncle's words, then he understood, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be there in a while."

He has been busy for the past two days since he came back from the Chinese New Year, and he hasn't had time to go to his grandfather's house. He originally planned to visit his grandfather today.

"Well, I'll leave it to you. I'll wait for a while, and the old man's anger will subside...I'll come back again." Zhang Huaiyuan didn't intend to just leave and never come back.But he knew that if he wanted to stay at home, it would only make the conflict between father and son worse, and he had to get angry at their old man.

"Okay, uncle will go first." The nephew and uncle said a few more words, Zhang Huaiyuan planned to leave, "Call uncle if you have anything to do, study hard..."

Zhang Huaiyuan wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

"Okay, brother-in-law, go slowly, the journey will be smooth." Qiao Minglang saw a person waiting on a motorcycle not far away, and he took a few steps forward.

Seeing his uncle getting on the motorcycle and watching the car go away, he turned around and walked back.

Aunt Qiao got up early in the morning to feed the chickens, and when she heard the sound of a car outside, she took a look outside. The uncle who seemed to be her nephew just left?Seeing her nephew walking back, she asked, "Is that your uncle just now?"

"Morning, aunt." Qiao Minglang greeted his aunt, and replied "Yes."

"Why did you come so early? You didn't sit down for a while." Aunt Qiao felt strange in her heart. This uncle came so early and left without sitting down for a while.

Qiao Minglang replied: "Oh, my uncle still has things to do."

"Oh." Aunt Qiao didn't continue to ask, and called her nephew to bring a few younger siblings to their house for dinner.

During the two days when they returned home during the Chinese New Year, they ate at the uncle's house almost every day, and it was okay to eat once or twice. If they ate at other people's houses every day, even if they didn't mind, Qiao Minglang knew that they couldn't always bother others. .

After a long time, even if other people don't say anything, they may have some opinions in their hearts.

Now that they have their own house, they have everything on the kitchen stove, and cooking at home is not a hassle.So Qiao Minglang politely declined his aunt's kindness, and just said: "I plan to take them to grandpa's house later, maybe I will come back after dinner at grandpa's house, and I won't eat at aunt's house today."

"Oh, that's it, I should go to see your grandpa." Aunt Qiao nodded when she knew that her nephew hadn't visited grandpa when he came back, and told him to take his younger brothers and sisters to go back early.

Qiao Minglang said a few words to his aunt, and then went home.

At this time, the brothers and sisters in the family just got up, and they didn't know that their uncle had been here.Seeing that her brother had already prepared breakfast, Qiao Xiaohui felt a little embarrassed, "Brother, why did you wake up so early?"

"It's not too early." Qiao Minglang didn't know what the little girl was thinking. Seeing that they were all up, he smiled and shouted, "Go wash your face and come over for breakfast."

Taking advantage of this time in the morning, he kneaded the dough and made steamed buns.

It happened that there was a big pumpkin in the kitchen. He steamed pumpkin buns made of pumpkin. He steamed two big steamed buns. The steamed buns were chubby and about the size of an adult's fist.

Lifting the lid, Qiao Minglang found a few baskets, picked up a basket of steamed buns, and asked the children in the family to send it to several uncles' homes, "Which one of you will send this to the aunt and the second uncle's house first."

"I'll go, I'll go." Qiao Mingcheng took the basket and ran out with it.

At this time, Mrs. Qiao's family was preparing for breakfast when they saw her nephew bringing a large basket of steamed buns.

Before his aunt could ask any questions, Qiao Ming ran away as soon as he put down the basket.

"Hey, this kid...what did you get here? How did you run so fast?" Mrs. Qiao lifted the lid and saw a big basket of steamed buns inside. Turning around, the kid had already run away. .

After leaving his aunt's house, Qiao Mingcheng sent the other two baskets of steamed buns to the other two uncles' houses, and ran back home after delivering them.

"At first glance, this steamed bun was made by that kid Minglang." Huang Yan looked at the pumpkin steamed buns sent by her little nephew, picked one up and took a bite, it was much tastier than the steamed buns they made themselves.

Uncle Qiao picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and hummed, "It's delicious."

***

Waking up in the morning, Qiao Minglang not only made steamed buns, but also boiled plain porridge and two side dishes.

The brothers and sisters worked together and took the breakfast and bowls and chopsticks to the dining table inside. Once they had set them up, Qiao Mingcheng, who had gone out to deliver things, also came back.

The twins were picked up by the elder brothers and sisters to sit on the chairs. Qiao Xiaohui filled some porridge water for the younger brother and younger sister, broke open a steamed bun, and gave half to each of them, saying: "Take it and eat it, be careful not to burn it, blow it yourself."

The weather is cold, and things get cold as soon as they are put on the table.However, the outer skin of the steamed bun is not so hot, and the inner core is still very hot.

"Blow blow." Qiao Xiaomei carefully held the steamed bun, blew on the inside, opened her mouth and took a bite.

Qiao Xiaobao glanced at his younger sister, imitating his younger sister, blowing on the steamed bun before biting it.

"Eat, let's go to grandpa's house when we're full." Qiao Minglang, who was the last to sit down, took a sip of the porridge, picked up a steamed bun with his chopsticks, and took another bite of sauerkraut into his mouth.

"Yeah." When they heard that they were going to grandpa's house, the siblings ate quickly.

"Brother, when you're not at home, grandpa often comes to visit us and buy us delicious food..." Qiao Sanmei talked about grandpa's visits to them, and also checked their homework. No, they asked grandpa, and grandpa could give them answers.

"Grandpa is a man of great knowledge. If there is anything you don't know in the future, you can ask grandpa together." Qiao Minglang nodded and said.

In my impression, when I was studying in my childhood, I would often go to my grandpa and let my grandpa guide my homework.It can be said that the good grades of the teenagers in reading are largely due to the teachings of their grandfather, and the other half is that the teenagers themselves are smart and willing to work hard to study.

If it wasn't for the fact that his grandfather was too old to take care of so many children, Qiao Minglang would have liked to send the children of the family to his grandfather.But if you think about it, it's not very realistic.

Before, he heard from his uncle that he wanted his grandfather to go to the city. Qiao Minglang knew that their grandfather stayed at home, largely because of the young people in their family. Well, when you grow up, you must repay grandpa well."

"Of course, you don't need to tell me, we will buy a lot of delicious food for grandpa in the future." Qiao Sanmei is a straightforward little girl, she knows who is good to her and who is not good to her.

For those who are kind to her, she will remember them at home.

Then the little girl counted the kindness of the eldest aunt, the second aunt, the fifth aunt, and a few sisters-in-law to their siblings, and said that when she grows up, she will buy it for the aunts and sisters-in-law. Lots of nice clothes.

"You just remember to buy clothes." Qiao Xiaohui felt hopeless about this younger sister's preference for buying new clothes.

"What's wrong with buying clothes. I will learn to make clothes by myself in the future, and make a lot of beautiful clothes..." The little girl has a natural love for dressing up.

When she was a child, she could only watch other children wearing new clothes and shoes. Their siblings didn’t have a new dress all year round, and the clothes on their bodies were mended and mended. Sanmei Qiao was very envious of others who had Wearing new clothes.

Although they have their elder brother here now, they have food and new clothes to wear, but in their hearts, Sanmei Qiao's biggest dream is to have so many new clothes that they can't wear in the future.

Relying on this simple love for dressing up, the little girl will go further and further on this road in the future.

When one day the little girl stood on the international fashion stage and talked about her childhood experience, she was neither humble nor overbearing, but more of the encouragement of life to her.

No matter in any situation, people should not lose their dreams. What if one day they come true?
