There is a saying in Guizhou Province that "eight mountains, one water and one piece of land", and that "one piece of land" may be terraced fields.

The topography of Guizhou Province can be summarized into four basic types: plateaus, mountains, hills and basins, of which 92.5% of the area is mountains and hills. The mountains in the province are numerous and stretch in all directions, so it is called the "Ten Thousand Mountains".

Because Guizhou Province has many mountains, when transportation was not well developed in the past, many villagers in remote mountainous areas had to walk for several hours over mountains and across ridges to get to the town, so many villagers had never left the small mountain village where they lived in their entire lives.

Now that the national economy is taking off, Guizhou Province has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Up to now, Guizhou Province has built more than 20,000 bridges, covering all types of bridges in the world. Even among the top 100 tallest bridges in the world, Guizhou Province has 46 bridges. It is no exaggeration to say that it occupies half of the country.

With the strong support of the country, the natural barriers in Guizhou Province have been turned into thoroughfares. Even the most remote counties and districts have been connected by expressways, and most villages have access to roads.

Li Yiping's hometown is a village called Shigu Village in the remote mountainous area of ​​Guizhou Province. This village used to be a very remote small mountain village.

However, more than ten years ago, Shigu Village built a road to the town.

On this day, Li Yiping came back from Shenzhen. After changing cars several times, he took a motorcycle in the town and returned to Shigu Village.

The huge gap between the international metropolis of Shenzhen and the mountain village of Shigu made Li Yiping more determined to become a son-in-law.

When I got home, it was already past five in the afternoon.

Because Li Yiping had called his parents before returning, his mother killed a chicken and prepared a large table of food for him.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

"Go wash your hands and eat!"

"Um!"

Li Yiping has four siblings, a brother, an older sister, and a younger sister. All of them have gone out to work, leaving only his parents living in the village.

During the meal, Li's mother asked, "Third brother, I asked you to come back for the Spring Festival, but you said the round-trip fare was too expensive and you only had a few days off and didn't want to go back and forth. Now it's not a festival, why are you suddenly back? Did you quit your job?"

Li Yiping ate the delicious farm chicken and said, "Mom, I came back this time because I have something important to discuss with you."

Mother Li asked, "What's the big deal?"

Li Yiping swallowed the chicken in his mouth and said calmly, "I'm getting married!"

Hearing this, Li's mother looked at Li's mother and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Who are you going to marry? Where is the other person from?"

"When did you start dating someone? Why didn't you tell us?"

In response to his parents' questions, Li Yiping explained, "She is from Shenzhen, and I just met her yesterday through a matchmaker."

Father Li frowned and said, "You just met her yesterday, and you're going to marry her?"

Mother Li also felt that it was too hasty and said, "Third brother, marriage is not a joke. Even if you like someone, you have to spend some time with them before considering marriage!"

Li Yiping said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. I know what's going on. It's mainly because her conditions are too good. To be honest, I'm lucky that she chose me. If I miss this opportunity, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Upon hearing this, both Li's father and mother were moved. Among their four children, the third child, Li Yiping, was the best-looking. Based on his looks, it seemed normal for a girl with good conditions to take a fancy to him.

Thinking of this, Li's mother didn't even bother to eat. She put down her chopsticks and asked, "Old Third, tell us in detail. How old is that girl? What does she do? How many brothers and sisters does she have? What do her parents do?"

Li Yiping replied, "She is the same age as me. She is a businessman and currently runs a coffee shop in Shenzhen. She has no brothers or sisters. She is an only child and both her parents are unemployed."

Mr. and Mrs. Li, who had never traveled far, had no idea about coffee shops, but they knew one thing: those who did business were extraordinary people.

The girl is the same age as the third brother, but she has already started her own business. No wonder the third brother said that the other party has good conditions and he will regret it for the rest of his life if he misses her.

"What kind of coffee shop does this girl open? How much money can she make in a month?" Li's mother asked curiously.

Li Yiping picked up a piece of chicken and said calmly, "I can probably make 70,000 or 80,000 a month!"

When these words were spoken, Mr. and Mrs. Li were stunned.

Especially Mr. Li, he could hardly hold the chopsticks in his hand.

Earning 70,000 or 80,000 yuan a month is really an astronomical figure for them. You have to know that their four children all go out to work, and the highest-paid one is the eldest son who works in construction. He works hard for a month and only earns 6,000 or 7,000 yuan. The difference in income between the two is more than ten times.

Father Li asked in a trembling voice: "Third brother, is everything you said true?"

Li Yiping nodded and said, "Of course it's true, and this is only part of her income. The bulk of her income comes from dividends from the village. Their village is a well-known wealthy village in Shenzhen, and she can receive one or two million in dividends from the village every year.

Her parents will also receive the money.

I have asked around, and found out that as long as you have a local household registration in the village, you can receive dividends from the village.

So if I marry her, I plan to transfer my household registration to her place, so that I can become a member of their village and be eligible to receive the village dividends. "

This was another depth charge that made Mr. and Mrs. Li dizzy.

The dividend from the girl's village completely refreshed Li's father and mother's understanding of the rich village. People with a household registration in this village can receive a dividend of one or two million from the village every year. What kind of concept is this?

The wealth of this village was beyond their imagination.

When Li's father and mother heard their third son say that after marriage he would move his household registration to the woman's side and would also be eligible to receive dividends from the village, they were really surprised and delighted.

Mother Li's eyes widened as she asked, "As long as the household registration is transferred to the woman's side, you will be eligible to receive a dividend of one or two million every year? Third brother, are you sure this is true?"

Li Yiping smiled and said, "Mom, I'm sure this is true, but I have to make one thing clear in advance. If my household registration is transferred to the woman's side, the child I give birth to in the future will also have to be registered with the woman's side, and the child will even have to take the woman's surname. Do you think this is okay?"

After saying this, Li Yiping looked at his parents with some trepidation in his heart. The words he said before were actually just foreshadowing, the purpose of which was to make the concept of marrying into the wife's family more tactful and make it easier for his parents to accept.

When Mr. and Mrs. Li heard this, they fell silent for a moment.

Li Yiping added: "Dad, Mom, I know this makes you feel embarrassed, but think about it, if I don't transfer my household registration there, and my child is also registered here, then I will have nothing.

But if I move my household registration there, and when my child is born, he or she will also be registered there, even if there is only one child, the father and son (daughter) will have an annual income of three to four million. That's a huge amount of money!

According to our family's current income, even if the whole family does not eat or drink, it will take more than ten or twenty years to earn this much money. I really can't bear to give it up."

Li's mother was also reluctant to let him go. She looked at her husband and asked, "Old Li, what do you think?"

Father Li was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if you change your surname, you are still a descendant of the Li family."

Li Yiping heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, knowing that his parents had acquiesced, and said with a smile: "That's for sure. To put it bluntly, a name is just a code name for a person. In ancient times, many people changed their surnames to other names to avoid disaster. Maybe our ancestors didn't originally have the surname Li, but changed it from other surnames to Li. This is not impossible.

This kind of thing, if you look at it in a positive way, is actually not a big deal.”

The corner of Father Li's mouth twitched, and he picked up the bowl and started eating in big mouthfuls.

Mother Li rolled her eyes at her third son, but she didn't want to dwell on the issue, so she asked, "Third son, when do you and that girl plan to get married?"

Li Yiping said, "We will go to register for marriage next Monday. I came back this time not only to tell you about this, but also to get the household registration booklet."

Li's mother asked again: "What's the girl's name? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Li Yiping said: "Her name is Gong Qinlan. She originally wanted to come back with me to meet you, but I thought our family is too shabby and even the house we live in is so old, so I didn't bring her back.

But don't worry, after I marry her, I'll get some money to build a new house, and then I can bring her back to see you."

Mother Li nodded and said, "That's fine. Her family is so well-off and she has lived a life of luxury since she was a child. Our family is in such a good situation that it's really not suitable for us to bring her back."

Father Li reminded: "Live a good life with your spouse after marriage, and don't talk about money right from the start. Some things don't need to be rushed, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yiping looked at his father in surprise. He never thought that his father, who had never traveled far and had not read much in his life, could say such words.

"Dad, I know what's going on. You don't have to worry about me."

Next, the family of three ate and talked. Thinking that the third child had such an opportunity, Mr. and Mrs. Li felt a little tipsy even though they hadn't drunk any alcohol.

That night, Li Yiping stayed at home.

The next morning, Li Yiping took his household registration booklet and rushed to Shenzhen again with excitement.

…

The provincial capital of Guangxi Province.

In a private room of a teahouse near Xipai Yujiang Community, many delicious snacks were placed on the quaint wooden coffee table. Jiang Feng, Huang Yuanjia, Qiu Chengguo and Qiu Yinan were drinking tea and chatting.

As a world-class gambling king, Qiu Chengguo's ability to read people's minds and grasp their expressions is unmatched by many people in the world. Some people even exaggerate that he has the ability to read minds.

The most typical example is the first Tournament of Champion in 1999, where Qiu Chengguo played a classic game.

At that time, he was holding "KK", which only appears once every two or three hundred hands on average. Just when other players were placing bets, Qiu Chengguo chose to fold his cards, which made the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV feel incredible and exclaimed.

But later it was proved that Qiu Chengguo's choice was correct.

Later, someone asked him about his mental state when he folded his cards, and he said: “In card games, you don’t have to worry about your cards being particularly small, but you have to worry about losing big cards to big people, which is extremely fatal.

In order to be a long-term winner, you have to let go when it’s time to let go. You have to be willing to be fooled. Losing less and winning more feel the same to me. You have to let go when it’s time to let go. "

However, few people know how much effort Qiu Chengguo put into this "mind reading".

After he became an accomplished gambler, Qiu Chengguo thought he was quite good at judging people. But when he and Jiang Feng, the nationally renowned matchmaker, looked at each other, he was extremely shocked.

He actually had a feeling that he was seen through by the other party. This was really ridiculous!

You know, ever since he became a world-class gambling king in the 1990s, no one could see what he was thinking, whether at the poker table or in life.

As a result, in front of this young man, he actually felt like he was being seen through. One can imagine how shocked Qiu Chengguo was.

After being shocked, Qiu Chengguo gave Jiang Feng a thumbs up and praised him sincerely: "Master Jiang, you are indeed a nationally renowned matchmaker. Your reputation is truly worthy of being called a great person!"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Qiu, you are too kind. Compared with your achievements, I am still far behind!"

The two exchanged some pleasantries before getting down to business.

Jiang Feng looked at Qiu Yinan and asked, "Brother Nan, I have heard about your situation from my father-in-law. I want to ask you now, what are your requirements for your other half?"

Qiu Yinan said: "I have two requirements, one is that we have to have good rapport, and the other is that our personalities have to be compatible. As long as these two conditions are met, the rest doesn't matter."

These two requirements may seem simple, but in fact they are the highest requirements. Most matchmakers would feel overwhelmed when they hear them.

However, Jiang Feng is not an ordinary matchmaker after all. He nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry, Brother Nan. Provide me with your birth date and time later. I will calculate your marriage fate and guarantee to find you a partner who meets your requirements."

Qiu Yinan grew up in the United States. To be honest, he doesn't really believe in the metaphysics of predicting marriages. But his father does, and Master Jiang in front of him does have a great reputation in the country. So with the idea of ​​giving it a try, he and his father went to meet Master Jiang.

Now, hearing Master Jiang's words about helping him calculate his marriage, Qiu Yinan couldn't help but say, "Master Jiang, I've heard a lot about your marriage prediction skills. I'm really curious about this. I wonder if you can predict it for me in person to broaden my horizons?"

Qiu Chengguo frowned and said, "Anan, don't be reckless."

Jiang Feng waved his hand and smiled: "Uncle Qiu, it doesn't matter. Since Brother Nan wants to see it, I can calculate it in person."

Huang Yuanjia also said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, don't be nervous. I have done marriage predictions in person many times and I am very familiar with it."
