Chapter three hundred and ninety-eight scientific fortune-telling(1/2)
When I got home in the afternoon, Ning Xuehua was cooking in the kitchen. Lu Yiming took a deep breath, stepped forward with a look of joy on his face and said, "It smells so good! Mom, what did you cook tonight?"
Ning Xuehua, who was busy cooking, had no time to look back, but she smiled happily after hearing her son's voice: "Fried eel segments, wash your hands first, you will have something to eat soon. By the way, this
It’s just a few days to celebrate the New Year, why are you running around?”
Upon hearing his mother's inquiry, Lu Yiming had no choice but to sigh and say, "It's not about piracy."
After cooking, Ning Xuehua wiped her hands and began to ask about the matter with concern: "How was it? Is it troublesome?"
Lu Yiming shook his head: "It's not troublesome. Your son and I are smart and have no trouble in my eyes. I can handle it right away. It's just a little twist."
"As long as you can handle it yourself."
The food is served and the family eats while watching TV.
The news from Guangdong Province is being shown on TV.
"Today, our city has just uncovered a case of counterfeiting and selling fake electronic products. A total of 100,000 counterfeit and shoddy USB flash drives were seized, and the amount involved was as high as 40 million yuan... The criminals Liu and Lin have been arrested and brought to justice
…”
Lu Ding said in surprise: "This matter has been very hot these days. Counterfeit USB flash drive? Are you caught now?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. It's normal to be arrested."
Lu Ding said: "Is the Liu mentioned on TV the same Liu Gan you mentioned before?"
"right."
Lu Ding sighed: "Oh, I don't know what this person is thinking. He sold a good gold medal improperly, so he had to go out to break the law and commit crimes. Now he has failed to get water from a bamboo basket, and he has landed himself in jail. He is really selfish.
You will not live if you do evil."
"Greedy is not enough. In fact, if he had not resigned, it is estimated that his position and salary would have been upgraded to another level. In two years, with the growth of the company's performance, it would be trivial for him to earn an annual salary of one million. I can only say that
Under the influence of Li Ling, he had no choice but to do stupid things."
Lu Yiming also shook his head and sighed. Liu Qian was capable, but his ambition was too great, and he ended up harming himself.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the cold wind is howling, but the senior year of high school has officially started.
After all, the college entrance examination is less than half a year away, so you have to seize the time.
Lu Yiming met Shi Qingxue at the school gate. Today she was wearing a light blue woolen hat, which not only tightly wrapped her head, but also covered her ears.
But even so, her delicate face was still red from the cold.
"Lu Yiming!"
Shi Qingxue said hello from a distance, and then trotted over.
Seeing her jumping up and down, Lu Yiming couldn't help laughing: "Run slower, don't fall."
"Lu Yiming, have you finished your winter vacation homework?"
"What winter vacation homework?"
Lu Yiming slapped his forehead: "Oops, I forgot about such a thing!"
After entering the classroom, not long after Lu Yiming sat down, Li Quanwang also came.
This kid had two thick dark circles under his eyes, and Lu Yiming was shocked: "Zhou Cao, how did you become such a ghost?"
Li Quanwang said: "I haven't done my homework during the winter vacation, so why don't I copy it all night long? I didn't finish it until the morning."
Then he took out another copy and threw it on the table: "This is yours. I saw you running around all day and I knew you definitely didn't do your winter vacation homework. I copied it for you."
Lu Yiming was overjoyed and wanted to hug this guy and kiss him: "Wangzi, I love you to death!"
"roll."
Li Quanwang pushed Lu Yiming away with a look of disgust on his face, yawned feebly, and soon fell asleep on the table.
During lunch, Shi Qingxue was still curious and asked Lu Yiming: "Several people in the class who did not finish their winter vacation homework were detained. Why were you not detained by the class teacher? Didn't you do your winter vacation homework?"
"
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows proudly: "Wangzi copied it for me."
Shi Qingxue said with a smile: "No wonder he didn't look energetic this morning. It seems that he couldn't have a good rest all day yesterday. It's all your fault."
Lu Yiming said confidently: "Why blame me? If you copy my homework for me, wouldn't Wangzai not have to copy it for me? So you should be blamed."
"Huh, you lazy guy, you have to do your own homework."
Cao Jingwen said: "I just heard from my boss that we seem to have free time in the afternoon. How about we go to the temple fair? It's very lively there."
Although people in later generations often say that the flavor of the New Year is gone, in Guangdong Province, some traditional customs are still very well preserved, such as the lion dance in the Buddhist market, the flower market in Baiyun... In the 1990s, temple fairs were the most flavorful for young people.
memory.
The temple fair is located on Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street. There are many Western buildings nearby. Many government departments’ official residences were here before. There is also a cathedral. It is very lively at ordinary times and even more crowded during the Chinese New Year.
There were people standing around a cotton candy machine. They watched the man pour the candy into the machine, and then saw the candy floating out like silk. They all felt extremely happy, with eyes full of surprise.
It's like watching a magician perform.
"Lu Yiming, marshmallow."
Shi Qingxue was like a child who had not grown up, squeezing into the crowd and watching the marshmallow maker dancing with interest.
Lu Yiming said dotingly: "Then let's buy one?"
"Okay, I want the pale pink five-pointed star."
"That's called Balala energy..."
The three people each bought a marshmallow and ate it while shopping.
"Scientific fortune telling is not allowed without money..."
As they were walking, Lu Yiming and the others were attracted by a fortune teller.
Comparatively speaking, it seems that little girls are more obsessed with these things than boys. Things like tarot cards are so easy to play. After hearing the four words of scientific fortune telling, Shi Qingxue and Cao Jingwen started talking about it.
I couldn't walk any further, so I had to drag Lu Yiming over to take a look.
On the side of the road, there is a small table covered with a blue cloth, with a folding fan, a compass and a lottery box on it.
Next to the table, there is a flag hanging with the words "Wu Banxian" written on it.
An old man with a thin figure and strange features, wearing sunglasses, sat upright.
Shi Qingxue and Cao Jingwen sat down on the pony. Cao Jingwen asked: "What kind of scientific fortune-telling method do you use?"
Lu Yiming stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the man's sunglasses. Shi Qingxue asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yiming said calmly: "It's okay. Wear sunglasses today. I'll see if he's sick."
Wu Banxian said: "This young man can tell fortunes and interpret fortunes. He is sincere and wise. Don't make trouble."
Then, he said: "Little girl, how about we play with the younger ones first, or I guess your last name first? If I guess it right, you give me five yuan. If I don't guess it right,
I don’t charge.”
Shi Qingxue said excitedly: "Okay."
Lu Yiming couldn't help complaining: "There are only a few surnames, just say them all once. Anyway, if you say something wrong, you won't pay me. If you can say something wrong, you can give me five yuan."
Wu Banxian ignored Lu Yiming's complaints at all. Instead, he hugged his sleeves and a deck of cards immediately appeared in his palm. There were eight cards in total. Each card had dozens of surnames on it. There were numbers next to the surnames. He put the first card
Shi Qingxue was given the card and asked: "Does this card have your last name on it?"
Shi Qingxue took a closer look and shook his head slightly.
Wu Banxian changed one and asked: "Does this one have your last name on it?"
After reading this, Shi Qingxue shook her head again.
Wu Banxian changed the third one again, the fourth one, the fifth one...
When it came to the seventh picture, Shi Qingxue said: "That's it."
"good."
Wu Banxian put all the other cards aside and placed the one chosen by Shi Qingxue in the palm of his hand.
Then, he muttered something, and then slowly said: "Your last name is Shi, and the time is Shi, right?"
Shi Qingxue was so surprised that she blurted out: "How did you know?"
Other fortune tellers made all kinds of jokes and asked questions. In fact, the information he wanted to know had been revealed by the fortune teller unknowingly. But just now, this Wu Banxian didn't ask a decent question.
An enigmatic smile appeared on Wu Banxian's face, and the old god said: "I told you, I am a scientific fortune teller."
Just like that, Shi Qingxue obediently paid five yuan.
Cao Jingwen, who did not believe in evil, immediately stepped forward and said she wanted to try it too.
As a result, another operation was completed, and five yuan was given out with both hands again.
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yiming with a smile and asked provocatively: "Young man, why don't you come and give it a try? Don't ask for money."
Lu Yiming shook his head slightly and said simply: "I won't try."
