Chapter 169: Temple Meeting

"I see your Wenwen is very thin, so let the child wear it."

Facing Wang Ping's surprised eyes, Huang Xinran also felt that she had done too much and coughed to cover up her absent-mindedness. Who had made her feel so sympathetic for the child's aggrieved look just now?

Forget it, it’s just a worthless little thing anyway, a peace locket, only one dollar.

"I don't mean anything else, I just think your Wenwen is a little too weak. You should feed him more on a daily basis. A man should eat more to grow healthily."

"Thank you……"

Wang Ping did not reject her as Huang Xinran had expected. Instead, she took it eagerly and said, "Wenwen has been weak since she was a child and doesn't like to eat. So... I usually take care of her more carefully."

Huang Xinran said nothing more, the disbelief in his eyes almost overflowing.

When they ate together before, the child almost always accepted everything. No matter what he got, he would eat it up. On the contrary, Wang Ping, the mother, always used the excuse that Wenwen was weak, and the child would snatch away the food after only one or two bites, and the rest went into her stomach.

From her point of view, the child's stomach has never been filled.

However, this is someone else's family affair after all. It is already a rare thing for her to give one or two suggestions. Any more will be forgotten.

After visiting the side hall, Huang Xinran strolled around with Aunt He and others.

Some people go into the temple to pray to the gods and Buddhas, and place their hopes on the ethereal. Others, like them, just wander around, buy some things, or play some games.

Huang Xinran accompanied Aunt He and others to watch the games nearby, including stone throwing, fortune telling, horse riding, sheep feeding... and so on.

Yaya and Maomao also went for a ride on a horse. The horse was a pony that was only half the height of an adult's waist. The two children rode on the horse together, and the adult led the horse and walked around the field. The two children laughed very happily.

Neither of the two children was interested in feeding the sheep. After all, they were from the countryside and had no interest in this.

Aunt He, on the other hand, was actually attracted by the fortune-telling stall.

While everyone was tired, she actually asked someone to calculate her fortune. However, it was not for her own benefit, but for the future of her children.

Huang Xinran recalled what she had heard before, that her child was studying aerospace and was unwilling to take over his father's shift and join the army. Presumably, in the eyes of parents, children who do not obey their arrangements must be a headache.

By this calculation, I had sat at the stall for more than an hour without realizing it. When I left, Aunt He's smile had become more genuine.

That’s right, the old fortune teller was very good at talking. With just a few words, he not only helped Aunt He resolve her worries, but also made her feel that her children would definitely achieve even greater success than them in the future.

Huang Xinran laughed secretly.

Aren't these fortune tellers just trying to find nice things to say? Otherwise, how can they cheat people out of their money?

However, just as they were about to leave, the gentleman suddenly called her.

"Comrade, please stay! Yes, I'm talking about you!"

Unexpectedly, fortune tellers these days have also kept up with the times and are now called comrades. He pointed at Huang Xinran and smiled, his small rat eyes narrowed into slits: "I see that your forehead is black, and a disaster is coming. Comrade, do you want me to tell you a fortune and give you some advice?"

"No, I'm not interested in that."

How could Huang Xinran believe this? With her abilities and the Green Emperor's Heart Sutra, what disaster would she be afraid of?

"Comrade, I am not trying to scare you. If you don't believe me, when the disaster strikes, it will be too late! If you don't believe me, tell me your birth date and I will tell you in detail."

"I already told you, no need!"

Huang Xinran didn't want to continue to get entangled with others, so he immediately took Yaya and Maomao and left.

But the fortune teller kept chasing after him and said, "Comrade, I don't want any money from you. Just tell me your birth date and eight characters. If I can't tell you correctly, I promise I won't charge you a penny. How do you think?"

Huang Xinran didn't say anything and just took the child and left.

The other party tried to stop Huang Xinran several times, but failed. They could only shout behind her: "Comrade, if you regret it, you can come to the big locust tree at the foot of the mountain. Comrade, remember this!"

Huang Xinran turned a deaf ear and walked faster and faster.

Aunt He and the others half walked and half ran to catch up with her, and then called her: "Ranran, I think the old man's prediction is very accurate. Since he said so, do you want to..."

"Aunt He, do you believe this too?"

Huang smiled happily.

"This... this is not, it just happened at the moment, hehe..."

Aunt He was also embarrassed.

When she came, she had no intention of believing this. But just now, she believed it for no apparent reason.

"Forget it, forget it. It's okay if you don't believe this. Let's go and look around somewhere else. When it's almost time, we'll go have dinner. I think the dragon dance tonight is about to start."

"Okay, let's go."

Huang Xinran walked in front with her two children. Aunt He walked behind with a little worry in her eyes. But after seeing Lu Yunchen and others following far behind, she felt relieved and followed her to the restaurant at the foot of the mountain.

This time when we went out to eat, Aunt He took the initiative to ask everyone whether they should eat together and pay for their own meals, or eat separately. In the end, the majority obeyed the minority, and everyone dispersed and ate their own meals.

After all, some of them brought out their meals directly.

Huang Xinran had dinner with Aunt He and three other military wives, and of course their children and families were also present.

However, Lu Yunchen still followed them closely, and when they were eating, he didn't know where he went. Huang Xinran naturally noticed it, but just looked away silently.

This meal was naturally very lively because of the presence of the military wives and their children, both big and small.

They ate for more than an hour, and finished their meal when it was getting dark. Then they took the children to look for the best viewing spot.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the weirdo Wang Ping.

Before the meal, when Aunt He suggested, she looked pitiful and wanted to eat alone. But during the meal, she sat not far from them, staring at them while they ate.

Fortunately, they had all suffered from her before, so no one called her back.

But when they were paying the bill, she came over again, picked up their leftover food and stuffed it into Wenwen's mouth. Everyone was shocked.

In fact, these days are not like later times. The food on the table was almost all eaten up. What was left was just some soup. Even so, she still acted like this, which made Aunt He and others look unhappy.

Finally, Aunt He couldn't stand it anymore and knocked the bare bone out of Wang Ping's hand: "Enough! If you don't mind the shame of abandoning it, you should also think about your old Liu! He still has to live in the army!"

Wang Ping's face turned pale, she withdrew her hand, and reluctantly followed them.
