Chapter 245: Half a Catty and Eight Taels of Standard Equipment

Lu Banxian stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, "Tsk tsk... This old man is already old, but he is still thinking."

"You don't understand. A companion is a companion. When people get older, they all want to have someone to talk to, so they don't have to stay alone in an empty room."

Ban Daxian next to him sneered, looked at him and teased him.

"How can an old bachelor like you understand this kind of thing?"

"You talk as if you have a partner. What qualifications do you have to make fun of me?" Lu Banxian sneered at him unceremoniously. They were both the same, so neither of them should make fun of the other.

Dai Qing: “…”

You can even argue with this? I'm really impressed.

No wonder the two of them can sit together and pass the time by lifting the bar.

Dai Qing looked at the money in her hand. She had only seen two people today. If she saw one more, she would pack up and go home.

"Hey, these days there are still young girls setting up stalls to tell fortunes."

The person who spoke was a young man in his twenties. He put his hands in his pockets, looked at Dai Qing in surprise, and whispered something to the person next to him.

"Hey, what era is this? They are all scammers."

"We have nothing to do anyway, why don't we give it a try? Just for fun."

The young man bumped into his friend's arm, and the man shook his head in rejection, glanced at the piece of paper Dai Qing had left on the ground, and moved aside.

"It's boring."

The young man ignored him, squatted down in front of Dai Qing and stretched out his hand.

"Master, let me see."

Dai Qing looked at his palm, then raised her head to look at his face, and chuckled.

"Yes, the wine and food pattern. The wine and food pattern is horizontal on the palm, connected to the Xun Palace, like three swallows flying diagonally. The horizontal patterns intersect, which is a very auspicious sign."

"Haha... Wenxun, I told you, they are all liars. They flatter you just for money."

The man was originally leaning against the overpass watching the fun, but when he heard Dai Qing's tone, he threw his head back and laughed, then came over and patted his friend's shoulder.

"They are just pretending to compliment you. Don't take it seriously. Their purpose is to get money. In fact, they are just beggars. To put it politely, they are intellectual beggars."

Dai Qing frowned when she heard this. Before she could say anything, Lu Banxian next to her couldn't sit still anymore and looked up at him.

"Young man, don't talk nonsense. Be careful with your words."

"Tsk, what's there to hide? It's the right time now, and you're still believing in feudal superstitions. Be careful you get caught."

"Sui Tao, stop talking."

Zhang Wenxun grabbed his arm, shook his head at him, then took out ten yuan from his pocket and put it on the paper, then smiled embarrassedly at Dai Qing.

"Zhang Wenxun, are you crazy? Why did you give him money?" Sui Tao looked at him in disbelief. Just as he was about to reach out to take it back, Dai Qing blocked him with a small stick.

"Other people's mouth-watering fees have nothing to do with you. Not only does he have a very auspicious appearance, but his forehead is bright yellow and shaped like an osmanthus flower. He will definitely make some money in the near future."

Zhang Wenxun looked at her in surprise, but Dai Qing ignored him and turned to look at Sui Tao, who had an unhappy expression on his face.

"The mouth is the gateway to language and the soul. Right and wrong, gratitude and resentment are all gathered in the mouth. Being upright and kind, and not speaking nonsense is called 'virtuous speech'."

"Your lips are all red, so you must have had a lot of verbal disputes."

"You... cursed me?"

Sui Tao's face flushed, and he stared at Dai Qing with an obscure look.

"What I said is the truth. You should know how many times you have caused trouble because you couldn't control your mouth."

Hearing Dai Qing's question, Zhang Wenxun was stunned, and many things suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Sui Tao, let's go, we still have things to deal with."

"Wenxun, you are always like this, letting others do whatever they want. Some people just like to take advantage of others..."

As the sound became farther and farther away, Dai Qing sat on the pony, stroked the dog's head, and took out ten yuan to give to Lu Banxian.

"The three of them have finished their viewing and are packing up their stall to go home."

"Sister Dai, will you come tomorrow?" Lu Banxian looked at Dai Qing expectantly. In just one morning, he felt like he had grown a little smarter.

"It depends. As long as it doesn't rain, he should come." Dai Qing didn't say anything definite. She led the dog down the stairs and rode home.

Lu Banxian stood on the overpass, holding ten yuan in his hand, and sighed as he watched Dai Qing leave.

“It’s really eye-opening.”

"Although that girl does have some abilities, isn't it offensive for you to treat her as a grandson at your age?"

Ban Daxian glanced at the money in his hand, shook his beard, and packed up his things.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. See you later."

With that girl around, he has no food to eat here, so he might as well move to another place and start over.

Lu Banxian looked at her from behind and couldn't help but remind her, "Old classmate, why don't you learn some skills from Sister Dai?"

"Me? No need. Let me leave the opportunity to you, right?"

Ban Daxian snorted. He was too old to bow down to a little girl. He couldn't bring himself to do that.

"What a stubborn donkey."

Lu Banxian shook his head, sat on the pony, took out a notebook from his bag, and read it carefully.

Dai Qing was riding her bike home. When she passed by the community, she bought a watermelon and took it home.

Her lunch today was half a watermelon, but she cooked half a pot of chicken soup noodles for the dog.

After lunch break, Dai Qing cleaned the house and then sat in the yard to read.

At dusk, Juanzi came over and said, "Xiaoqing, good news. Ding Yong and Nie Jianwei broke up."

She had had a problem with those two people for a long time. They used to urge her every day to help introduce a girlfriend. Now that they had broken up, she finally had no more complaints.

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight?" Dai Qing poured her a glass of water and asked casually.

"Nie Jianwei is a bully who only cares about the weak and fears the strong. He didn't dare to come to you, so he went to Ding Yong and asked him to pay for the medical expenses, saying that it was because of him that I got hurt, so he should pay."

Juanzi said this with angry eyes.

"They usually followed us to eat and drink, and Ding Yong never made a fuss. His finger was used to get medicine for him, and he dared to come to our house. Ding Yong got angry and scolded him. The three of them left unhappily, and the quarrel ended."

Seeing Juanzi's indignant expression, Dai Qingan persuaded her to sit down.

"Those two people are not content. If you stay with them, you will have trouble sooner or later. Ding Yong is not the same kind of person as them."

"You're right. I don't agree with Ding Yong hanging out with them. It's okay for friends to suffer a little loss, but you can't push it too far and lose your moral character."

Juanzi said as she came up to Dai Qing and smiled.

"You helped him see the person clearly in time, and the braised pork yesterday was delicious. Ding Yong asked me to thank you."

"I'm glad he didn't blame me."

Fortunately, Ding Yong was able to distinguish right from wrong. If it were someone who cared about reputation and was unreasonable, he might have felt that she was embarrassing him.

"He wouldn't dare when I'm here." When talking about her lover, Juanzi smiled heartlessly, which was simply unbearable to watch.

Dai Qing pinched her chubby cheeks and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight. I stewed a chicken."
