Chapter 575 Fortune Telling for Chu Qian
A week later, Luo Cheng called me to tell me that he and Zhang Qianwu had decided to start a fruit chain store. They had already gone to inspect the fruit farm and would be there for about ten days. They would meet again when they returned.
He also told me that the manufacturer of the automatic fruit sorting equipment had been found - and then asked me to guess where the manufacturer was.
I asked, “Thailand?”
Luo Cheng said: "Jiangxi Lvmeng Technology Holding Co., Ltd."
I couldn't believe this kind of machine was made in Jiangxi, so I said happily, "That's great."
After hanging up the phone, I checked online and found that there was indeed such a company that had developed world-class post-harvest processing equipment for fruits and vegetables.
Dana's condition is getting better day by day.
The Chalun couple were very happy.
But Luo Cheng and Zhang Qianwu were busy with their work. For several days, I could only chat with Chunlai.
Chatting for too long is boring, and sometimes I just end up looking at my phone. Then, I remembered Master's words: How wonderful it is to be in Wuxiang, where people occasionally send gifts, admirers come to chat, and neighbors come to sit around.
People are most afraid of such short-term stays. They have no friends in the first place, and with the pandemic, they have to stay for several months.
Fortunately, I have Luo Cheng, but he can't accompany me every day. This time he's gone for ten days. I sent a WeChat message to Zhan Cai, asking him to come over and sit down.
He replied: "Mr. Wan, I went to Bangkok."
It's boring.
I just hope to get back to Upstate soon.
On Friday afternoon, Chu Qian called:
"Teacher, I'll come to you tonight. Can you please tell my fortune?"
I agreed without even thinking: "Okay. You're welcome."
"But..." She hesitated to speak.
"Go ahead."
"Can we go somewhere else? I don't like crowds."
I immediately understood what she meant. She probably didn't like people eavesdropping, so I smiled and said, "You can't change the place. It's convenient for you to come to my place. Chun can just come to his room."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "There should be a place to sit in your room."
"have."
"Then I'll come over at seven in the evening."
"OK."
After dinner, I told Chun: "Chu Qian asked me to tell her fortune tonight. She doesn't like people around her..."
Chunlai said hurriedly: "I'll just stay in my room and not come out."
I said, "I'm sorry, but she said she'd come to my room to talk. She'd feel more at ease with the living room across from her. Besides, it would be inconvenient if you needed to go to the bathroom."
Chunlai nodded, and after dinner he let me take a shower first. After he finished, he went back to his room early.
At seven o'clock sharp, Chu Qian arrived and I ushered her into the bedroom. She asked, "Where's Chunlai?"
"I went back to my room to read."
I went to the living room, made two cups of tea, and placed them on the small round table.
There was a pair of sofas near the window. I asked her to sit down. I sat on a swivel chair in front of the desk, turned it halfway, faced her, and said:
"Some people's birth dates, especially the time of birth, were inaccurate in the past. Yours shouldn't be wrong, right?"
She said, “It can’t be wrong.”
After that, he told me his birth date and added, "Don't scare me."
When I heard this, I knew she had had her fortune told before.
I rotated my fingers and said:
"I'll ask you a few questions first, and you must answer truthfully."
She was a little nervous, then smiled and said, "Okay, I will tell the truth in front of Master."
I started to tell her fortune, and the first thing I said was:
"Your family is relatively well-off. You could say you were born into a well-off family."
"Teacher, what is the standard of a moderately prosperous society?"
"You were born in 2001. At that time, a well-off life meant both parents had jobs, the family was small, and your grandparents didn't want your parents to support them."
She nodded and said, "Yes. My grandparents are teachers, and my maternal grandparents live with my uncle. My uncle's family is relatively well-off."
"I've had a relatively happy life since I was little, but my academic performance, if I may be frank, has been average."
She blushed and nodded.
"You must have had your fortune told personally."
She nodded and said, "When I was in college, a male classmate pursued me, but my family didn't agree. So I went to have my fortune told by myself."
"The fortune teller said you will definitely marry a man at least ten years older than you."
Her face changed color. After a while, she asked:
"Is this the result you calculated?"
I shook my head.
As if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she leaned forward and asked hurriedly:
"What about me?"
I took a sip of tea and said, "Let me finish reading your fortune first, and then I'll explain to you why the fortune teller said you would definitely find a man much older than you."
She smiled.
I said, "I will use the bone weighing method to calculate for you and give you four sentences.
You don't have to toil all your life, it's a blessing to have a family on your own. You have a lucky star that always looks down on you, and whatever you do, you will achieve. "
"Or is it a poem? What does it mean?"
"I'll send it to you now."
After she received it, she looked down at it, then looked up at me, waiting for my explanation.
"The first sentence - You don't have to work hard all your life. It is a comprehensive conclusion about your life.
You don't have to work hard, which means you don't do manual labor or a fast-paced job. Compared to most people, you have a relatively easy life."
"You mean this has been happening my whole life?"
"right."
She said happily: "Teacher, you can smoke."
I took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked it for a while before slowly puffing it out.
"The second sentence is, 'It is a blessing to start a family alone.' 'Alone' here means making your own decisions about marriage, not listening to your parents."
She laughed and said, "They wanted to introduce me to my neighbor, but I didn't like that guy."
"The fourth sentence, 'Let you come and go, all kinds of success', means that things go smoothly. 'All kinds' here is an adjective, meaning that your success rate is relatively high."
"Teacher, you didn't say the third sentence."
"I put it at the end on purpose. This sentence is the basis for the fortune teller's suggestion that you should find an older man.
The third sentence is: "You have been blessed with good fortune early on." This means you will enjoy happiness early. This has two implications. The first is that you come from a good family, born into a well-off family, and lived a happy life before marriage.
The second implication is that if you marry someone wealthy, you'll enjoy happiness after marriage. So the fortune teller assumes you're marrying a wealthy, older man. Even a second-married man.
Chu Qian clapped her hands and said, "That's exactly what he said."
"Why did he say that? First, his skills are really not that high, and second, he thinks you will not like this result. Ask him if he must only find an older man?
He said he could also give you some pointers, and you understood the implication: he wanted to sell you something, to help you change your fortune, and the price he was asking was high.”
Chu Qian sighed deeply, "That's right, he only charged fifty yuan for a fortune telling, but after charging me an extra hundred yuan, he told me that I would either have to change my surname or move to a faraway place.
I laughed and said, "It's impossible to change your last name and go far away, so you came to Thailand."
She smiled.
