After breakfast, Master Ma went back to the house, took a small basket and put some wild fruits picked from the mountains, and started his day's work.
"Selling fruits!" He was full of energy after meditating in the morning and had a full breakfast. His voice was loud and full of energy.
Zhou's aunt came out of the yard and called Master Ma.
"Ma liar, how much are the fruits?"
"It depends on fate."
The aunt-in-law asked Master Ma to come into the house.
Fortune tellers these days all have seemingly safe trades: some sell fruit, some sell sesame oil, and some sell peanuts. Those who know their trade quietly call out to them and bring them into their homes.
The aunt-in-law didn't let him tell her fortune and asked directly, "Regarding Jianguo from your brigade, do you know if anyone in his family has come to see him?"
Master Ma...what's wrong? Are you disrespecting me?
Seeing that his face was a little grumpy, the aunt-in-law quickly got to the point: "Can you calculate for my niece whether this thing can succeed?"
Master Ma then put down the small basket, asked a few questions, and began to calculate seriously.
When Zhou Xinghong came back from digging herbs in the mountains, she saw her aunt-in-law with a happy face as she sent Master Ma out.
Master Ma was in a good mood as the shop opened so soon. He took a fruit from the basket and ate it in a few bites.
Zhou Xinghong put down her medicine hoe and basket and asked, "Auntie, what do you want to see Master Ma for?"
The aunt said happily, "I'll give it to you and Jianguo."
Zhou Xinghong's heart moved slightly. Seeing her aunt's smiling face, she knew it must be a good thing and couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Good things will come to you two soon!"
"He lives in Wangjia Village and knows everything. You still ask him to tell your fortune, but who knows if it's accurate..." Zhou Xinghong was secretly happy, but she said one thing and meant another, refusing to show her emotions.
The aunt patted her and said, "What do you know?"
Master Ma has his own strengths. He's dedicated and travels extensively. His calculations are quite accurate, and the prices aren't too expensive.
Farmers have their own set of rules for weddings and funerals, such as matching horoscopes, choosing the right date, and considering Feng Shui.
But Master Ma left Uncle Zhou's house and headed back home. It's not that he's unprofessional, it's just that Wangjia Village has business!
Master Ma returned to Wangjia Village and wandered around Cao's house.
Before Cao Jianguo succeeded in pursuing Zhou Xinghong, he stuck to her every day.
I didn’t wait for Cao Jianguo, but I did wait for Xiao Ya.
"Grandpa Ma, why are you here?" Xiao Ya asked curiously.
Today was a day off. Xiaoya took her books and went to ask Jiaojiao questions. She was two years older than Jiaojiao, and now she had to ask Jiaojiao for help.
Although she was a little embarrassed at first, she got used to it after asking a few times! After all, compared to the teacher, she still preferred to ask Jiaojiao.
At the Cao family, Xiaoya's mother was trying to persuade Jianguo earnestly.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Jianguo. It’s bad enough that he quarrels with Zhou Xinghong, but he also looks half dead at home every day.
She spoke until her mouth was dry, but Jianguo was still the same.
Xiaoya's grandmother suddenly blurted out, "I don't think you and Zhou Xinghong are suitable. I said no from the beginning! You insisted she was the best, and now you see clearly, don't you? You wasted so many years! But you're a man, don't worry, I'll ask your Aunt Guifen to make arrangements for you. In two days, I'll find you a better one!"
Jianguo rolled his eyes when he heard that.
"Come on, Chunhua, follow me to your Aunt Guifen's house!"
Seeing that his mother was really going, Jianguo moved his mouth.
Xiaoya's grandmother walked to the door and turned back to confirm with him, "Jianguo, once I step out of this door today, you and that girl from the Zhou family will have no chance. I don't care if you're upset or not, I'm telling you one last time, once I step out of this door, even if you try to kill yourself with me, I will never agree to anything else between you and that girl from the Zhou family!"
Xiao Ya's mother winked at Jianguo. Jianguo finally muttered, "Then don't go."
"It's okay if you don't want to go, but you have to tell me clearly. What are you going to do? Are you going to waste my time like this? Are you a wicked person? If not, then let her get married!"
"Or tell me, what happened that made you ignore me for so long? Are you still young? Even children know how to make up after a fight!"
Xiaoya's grandmother is trying her best to discipline Jianguo.
"Tell me what's going on now!"
Jianguo saw his mother was angry, but was afraid that it would make her have a bad impression of Zhou Xinghong, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "It has nothing to do with her."
"I'll give you one day. If you don't handle it by tomorrow, I'll go find Wang Guifen. I've been spoiling you day by day! Who are you showing off to with such a sullen face every day? You're still young, aren't you? Look at those friends you're good friends with, they're all running around like kids."
Xiaoya’s grandmother was so angry that she kept scolding her, and Xiaoya’s mother quickly patted her on the back.
"Calm down, mother, calm down. Don't let him upset you!"
"Aren't you going yet? When your brother comes back and sees you making mom so mad, he'll definitely beat you up!" Xiao Ya's mother glared at Jianguo.
Even though Jianjun usually loves his younger brother, he is merciless when he beats him.
Under the double pressure from the two, Jianguo finally jumped up from his chair and ran away.
"He should have been punished like this a long time ago!" Xiaoya's grandmother muttered softly.
Xiaoya’s mother smiled secretly, isn’t it because you love your son?
Jianguo rushed out of the yard and fell into Master Ma's bowl.
Master Ma laughed and said, "I won't be able to sleep well tonight unless I make some money from this silly boy!"
Jianguo, who is being thought of by Master Ma... Master Ma must have some feelings towards me, his eyes are too creepy!
