Zhong Min and his wife couldn't calm down anymore. Zhong Min hurriedly asked nervously, "How did you know?"
Xu Jie said: "I know how to do it. You probably didn't expect a township party secretary to tell fortunes, right? Haha."
Zhong Min's eyes lit up when he heard this and he hurriedly asked, "Really, Secretary Xu, you really... can really tell fortunes?"
Xu Jie smiled and said, "Haha, know a little. The reason why I told you not to go to that cave is because the cave was washed away by the heavy rain a few days ago. Now it has collapsed, so it will be useless for you to go."
Not only Zhong Min and his wife were shocked, but also Song Rou and Jiang Xiaozhen were shocked and looked at Xu Jie in a daze.
Zhong Min's eyes turned twice and said, "Then Xu...Secretary Xu, I don't know if you can calculate it for me, but I don't have money." After saying that, he was both nervous and embarrassed, and he was nervous about Secretary Xu.
If you don’t calculate for yourself, the embarrassing thing is that you don’t have the money to pay for fortune telling.
Xu Jie nodded and said, "Well, this is my hobby. I won't charge money. Tell me your birthday and horoscope and I'll calculate it for you."
Zhong Min was overjoyed and hurriedly told Xu Jie about his birth date and horoscope. After saying his own, he also told Xu Jie about his wife's.
Xu Jie hooked his finger and calculated for a while. He looked at Zhong Min just about to speak, but sighed and smoked. He wanted to speak but stopped, making Zhong Min nervous and said hurriedly: "Secretary Xu, isn't it... very... very... very
Difference?"
Xu Jie shook his head and sighed, "Oh, do you want to listen to the truth or lies?"
"Of course it's the truth, who wants to listen to lies?" Zhong Min spoke quickly. After throwing away the cigarette butt, he moved his butt to Xu Jie a foot closer, and looked at Xu Jie nervously and waited.
Xu Jie thought for a while and said, "Brother Zhong, your fate is destined... destined..." He stopped again after saying this, frightened Zhong Min so much that he grabbed Xu Jie's arm and asked, "What is destined?"
Xu Jie looked at Zhong Min with great pity and said, "You are destined to have no son in this life."
"What? This... this is impossible!" This sentence hit Zhong Min's sore spot. He immediately said it was impossible as if his tail was trampled, and his wife's face was pale.
Xu Jie didn't say anything, but looked at Zhong Min, who was both nervous and frightened, and waited for his emotions to calm down before saying: "What I said is true. There are no children in your life palace. This is indeed a pity, but I
Tell you that your daughters are very promising. As long as you work hard to cultivate your daughters from now on, when you grow up, they will not only marry into a good family, but also provide you with the elderly and the elderly. You will live in your old age.
Very good”
When Zhong Min and his wife's eyes lit up, Mrs. Zhong asked, "Really? Will they become officials in the future?"
"Puff!" Song Rou covered her mouth again, but Jiang Xiaozhen widened her eyes and raised her ears to listen, looking fascinated, and it seemed that she believed it very much.
Xu Jie knew that rural people believed in this the most because he had similar experiences when he was a child, so he knew what he could best grasp the hearts of these farmers.
After thinking about it, he said, "I still don't see clearly whether to be an official or not, because you don't pay attention to them. You must know whether the next generation is blessed. Although fate is crucial, parents must know how to cultivate it to help.
They are now gradually becoming sensible and know that you, as parents, don't love them, so they are slowly disappointed with you in their hearts. If you continue like this, they will get married very early. Everyone has thought about it.
A good life. When a girl sees that her family is not good, she has to go to marry if she wants to change her destiny. Therefore, if you parents treat them like this, your eldest daughter will follow others at the age of sixteen.
After Ping Qi left, you will not come back, and you will not get the bride price."
"This...this..." Zhong Min and his wife were full of panic and sweaty on their foreheads.
But Xu Jie was still scared enough and continued to scare them, saying, "The eldest sister has set an example, and the younger sisters below follow suit. Your five daughters, these cute five golden flowers, will not be more than seventeen years old when they get married.
, And it is your eldest daughter who is the matchmaker!”
"Damn it, don't!" Zhong Min started to curse in surprise. Jiang Xiaozhen, who was beside him, hurriedly shouted: "Zhong Min, why are you talking? This is Secretary Xu."
Zhong Min hurriedly bowed to Xu Jie: "I'm sorry Secretary Xu, I'm sorry, I'm..."
Xu Jie said very understandingly: "I understand you are anxious. Since I have said it, I will just tell you everything. Mrs. Zhong is pregnant with a daughter now."
Zhong Min and his wife suddenly stood up and asked loudly, "Really?!"
Xu Jie nodded and said with certainty: "Can I tell lies this? I am the secretary of the village, and having a child is only a few months old. If I tell lies, my sister-in-law will give birth to it in a few months.
It's a son, isn't this slap me in the face? I just said that there are no descendants in your brother Zhong's life palace."
Zhong Min sat on the ground with a grimy face, buried her head in her arms, feeling very sad and desperate, and said after a while, "Will I, Zhong Min, be defeated?"
Xu Jie shook his head and said, "Brother Zhong, your parents only gave birth to you one son. Don't you have one elder brother and one younger brother? They all have sons. How could your Zhong family be the last one?"
Zhong Min said: "But...but I don't have it. Secretary Xu, you don't know that if you don't have a son in the countryside, you will be looked down upon."
"I'm confused!" Xu Jie suddenly scolded: "I was born in the countryside, so I naturally know this kind of thing very well. But Brother Zhong, have you ever thought about it? The most important thing about you is to live a good life in your own family. What others say you
Can someone keep their mouths closed? Will others give you a good life? Look at you now, in order to have a son, you seem to be hiding everywhere. Not only does your daughter not care about it, but the fields are abandoned. If this happens again
In the years to go, how many more daughters will you give birth to them. Will you raise them? They are all the flesh and blood of your husband and wife, so do you have the heart to let them come to this world and suffer?"
These words made Zhong Min bow his head and speechless, while Mrs. Zhong covered her face and cried, feeling very sad.
Xu Jie took out another cigarette and gave it to Zhong Min, lit it himself and took a sip and said, "If you listen to my advice, go to the hospital for surgery. You have five children, and these five daughters will take good care of them in the future.
Yours are all well-behaved and filial children. As long as you send them to school from now on and train them well.”
Zhong Min accepted his fate now, and he believed in what Xu Jie said. It seemed that he would not have the life to have a son in his life. Oh, that's all.
Thinking of this, he said in a muffled voice: "But, we don't have money now, and the child wants money to go to school. We...ah!"
After hearing this, Xu Jie took out two thousand dollars from his pocket and handed it to Zhong Min and said, "This is two thousand dollars. You should take your sister-in-law to the hospital for surgery immediately. This surgery is not expensive. Please buy some first after you go back.
After eating, you go to the village chief Jiang to get the seeds of medicinal materials and start planting. I hope all the land in your family will be planted. Now that the nine-year compulsory education is implemented, there is no tuition fee, so you don’t need much money, take it.”
Zhong Min hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, Secretary Xu, how can I ask for your money? No, no, no?"
Xu Jie said sternly: "Hold it, even if you can be hungry, your wife and children cannot be hungry. You don't think about it. My sister-in-law married you and gave you so many children. Will you give her a good life?
? Ask your conscience”
Mrs. Zhong burst into tears when she heard this. Zhong Min was so moved that she burst into tears. She took the money tremblingly, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Jie!
Xu Jie hurriedly helped them up and said to Jiang Xiaozhen: "Captain Jiang, please take them to the hospital. Just say that I said it, and you will perform surgery on your sister-in-law for free."
Jiang Xiaozhen was very surprised. Unexpectedly, this biggest problem that troubled the village and even the village was solved by Secretary Xu casually. He said happily: "Don't worry, Secretary Xu, we will go right away."
Zhong Min said, "Thank you Secretary Xu, you are the benefactor of my Zhong Min's family. We must listen to you, go for surgery immediately, and then go home to farm well and live a good life."
Xu Jie smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Because the couple wanted to hide and brought all the daily necessities with them, they didn't have to go home now. After thanking Xu Jie for his sincere gratitude, they followed Jiang Xiaozhen.
Song Rou looked at Xu Jie with admiration and exclaimed: "Secretary Xu, you are so amazing. This Zhongmin is the most famous super-nail household in the township. No one can subdue him, but you solved the problem in just a few words.
He's a godly man, hehe"
Xu Jie smiled and said, "That can't be said that. Maybe it was because people used to do their jobs in the wrong way. It's very important to say what they say to."
Song Rou twisted her face and said with a red face: "Then you should teach me more from now on."
Xu Jie looked at this cute subordinate and smiled, "Ha, I don't have any personal teachings."
Song Rou said with a slight mouth: "You are too modest, do you know that you are too modest and seem dishonest?"
Xu Jie nodded and said, "I understand, I'm taught again, haha."
"Hate..." Song Rou is as her name suggests, and she is really hard to be gentle. Xu Jie had the urge to hold her in his arms and kiss her, and hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go back."
From then on, the news that Xu Jie could tell fortunes disappeared. I deeply felt that this young secretary was really talented, and people had more topics of talking about his deeds.
Another half year has passed, and the Lefeng Township ushered in a joyful autumn. A large number of medicinal materials have begun to be dried by the villagers and sent to the Qingjie Pharmaceutical Factory, which has also been opened. After weighing, they immediately received colorful banknotes, and they all became happy.
They went to the market to cut pork in groups. Most of them went home with a piece of meat and a bottle of wine. They had to have a good drink tonight.
