Section Three: Text Two

[69 Book Bar - www.] Grandpa Gu released the ducks at will, sat by the small river pond and caught small fish. From time to time, people would say hello to him: "Hello, Teacher Gu, Good morning, Teacher Gu." Grandpa was very kind.

Always smiling. Afeng took Chunlei and gave two eggs to her father-in-law, and then went to work in the team alone.

"Chun, come and eat the eggs." Grandpa peeled the eggs and gave them to Chun Lei.

Chun Lei shook her head and said, "Grandma said, this is for grandpa to eat, and I have eaten it." She swallowed and said.

Grandpa Gu held Chunlei on his lap and asked: "Granddaughter, grandpa doesn't like eating eggs. Eggs are for children." As he spoke, he broke them bit by bit for Chunlei to eat. After eating, he still wrote math on the ground.

Let Chunlei learn.

Perhaps due to genetic reasons, Chunlei is very smart and is particularly good at arithmetic. "Grandpa, when will the osmanthus bloom?" Chunlei was still thinking about last night's question and looked at the surface of the pond and asked her grandfather.

Why didn't Grandpa Gu miss his son? He and Grandma Gu gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The eldest son died in infancy. The daughter was crazy and silly. Even Gu's father's promising son also went to the sea. After he left, he couldn't even write a letter.

No, I don’t know whether he is dead or alive. The old man saw his granddaughter who was exactly the same as his son and was no longer in the mood to fish. He put away his fishing rod and took the spring buds and walked in the hard rice fields that had already harvested rice to catch ducks home.

.The door of the house is open, and grandma is chatting mysteriously with an old man.

Chunlei ran ahead and shouted: 'Grandma, grandpa and I are back.'

Grandma looked up and said, 'Old man, why are you back so early?'

The old man was blind. When he heard Chunlei shouting, he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. He stood up and bowed to the yard and said, 'How is Teacher Gu's harvest today?'

When grandpa saw grandma putting Chunlei's horoscopes, Gu's father's horoscopes, and Gu's mother's horoscopes on the small table, he responded angrily: "Nothing gained." Then he let Chunlei play by himself and entered the room.

.

"You damn old man, Mr. Jiang, please ignore him." Grandma rolled her eyes at Grandpa and continued chatting with the blind man.

Jiang Xiazi was originally an accountant of the brigade. Ever since his eyes were blinded by a fire in his home, he started to make a living by telling fortunes and horoscopes. I heard that you can also touch your belly, and you can tell whether you are a boy or a girl by touching your belly. Mother Gu is pregnant with Chunlei.

At that time, the blind man touched it and said it was a girl. Sure enough, Mother Gu gave birth to a girl named Chun Lei.

Therefore, Grandma Gu’s faith in the blind man is no less than that of Lady Guanyin in her heart. ‘Listen to this child’s voice, she will be the number one female scholar in the future.’

The blind man listened to Chun Lei, who was reciting the disciple's rules and making noises, and said, 'Female number one scholar? Mr. Jiang, what's the point of marrying a number one scholar when this girl is old?'

Grandma Gu liked it very much after hearing it, but her idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority would not change.

‘Sister-in-law, don’t believe it, this girl will definitely have a future.’ The blind man’s empty eye sockets made Chun Lei a little scared.

There was a person sitting under the big camphor tree at home, Chun Lei's silly aunt. She sat like this all day long, and when she had nothing to do, she would pull out her long, black hair, one by one, and then blow her hair against the wind.

Then he smiled. After chatting for a while, grandma left the blind man to eat. At noon, Mother Gu went home and first trimmed her sister-in-law’s hair under the big tree. The silly aunt smiled at her sister-in-law, and then stood up and clapped her hands.

When Chunlei saw her mother coming back, she shouted happily: 'Grandpa, grandma, mother is back.'

Ah Feng patted the soil and entered the door. When she saw the blind man was there, she said to the blind man: 'Uncle Jiang is here too.'

After saying that, she washed her hands and went to the stove to serve rice. Upon seeing this, grandma quickly grabbed her and said, 'A-Feng, don't be busy eating just yet. Let your Uncle Jiang feel your belly to see if the baby is a boy or a girl.'

Ah Feng was actually very disgusted with this. It was the same way with Chunlei when she let an old man touch her snow-white belly. But what could she do? The mother-in-law at home always felt sorry for the Gu family when she gave birth to a baby girl. She was unwilling to do so.

I complied with my mother-in-law's superstitious request.

Grandpa Gu darkened his face and said: 'You can't let your wife eat first, and she has a big belly and still has to work in the team. Why are you messing around when you come back?'

'You dead man, drink your old wine, I am doing this for the sake of your old Gu family.' Grandma said loudly:

Chunlei watched curiously as her mother lifted up her clothes to reveal her round belly. Grandma Gu took the blind man's hand and put it on Ah Feng's belly. The blind man touched her hand and pressed it here and there.

Nod.

'How is it, Mr. Jiang?' Grandma asked. The blind man took back his hand and drank a glass of old wine and said: 'Full, it must be a boy.'

After hearing this, Grandpa Gu looked up and said, "You can tell whether this is a boy or a girl just by touching it. You know more about this woman giving birth than Dr. Lin at the health center."

The blind man waved his hand and said: 'Teacher Gu, I can't compare to Dr. Lin from the big city in treating diseases. But I think he is very knowledgeable when it comes to touching a big belly.'

"What kind of knowledge?" Grandpa went to school when he was a child. He didn't believe in superstition, so he asked the blind man on purpose.

Xiaofeng lowered her head and said nothing, just eating her rice. For the first time, grandma gave her a piece of salted duck egg. Xiaofeng looked at the tofu in Chunlei's bowl and gave the salted duck egg to her daughter.

"If the belly is round and pointed, the fetus is as hard as stone, it will definitely be a boy. If the belly is round and downward, and the fetus is as soft as water, it will be a girl." The blind man said as he drank another glass and ate the vegetables.

'Miao Lun' Grandpa Gu put down his chopsticks and left the table. Grandma Gu poured wine for the blind man, which made her feel happy! Finally, she was looking forward to a grandson, and put the scrambled eggs, minced meat and vegetables in Xiaofeng's rice bowl.

During the period, I and Chunlei ate fermented bean curd.

Grandpa came out with the book and saw grandma being so attentive. He was very unhappy and said, "What if a girl is born?"

The blind man put down his chopsticks, stood up, patted his chest and said, 'If this baby is a girl, I will no longer tell fortunes or touch my belly to tell the gender.'

Grandpa Gu ignored him and grandma anymore and moved a stool to sit under the big tree. Silly aunt looked at her father stupidly. Grandpa Gu took out a piece of rock candy from his pocket and gave it to silly aunt. Silly aunt stood up and faced
