Tangshan fortune teller Lao Zhang _ Who is Tangshan fortune teller Lao Zhang?

Text /Hailey

Xiaohua WeChat informed me that today is Monday? The big inspection can't be released, and our old neighbors who used to live in No.2 compound get together. ? A party, usually a classmate party, Xiaohua wants to have a party in the community! Old neighbors, only Geng Sanwa and I still live in the compound, and everyone else has moved away. Some move to other places according to their own needs, some buy their own houses, some go to bigger cities, and some go back to their hometown. I asked Xiaohua how many households he could collect, and Xiaohua said that he could collect about a dozen households. Xiaohua's plan is not how appealing Xiaohua is, but that Xiaohua used to be a person who has been in the game. Three years has become three months, and it can't be decided in one sentence. I heard that there are people above Xiaohua's house, tough people! What person? I didn't know he was a big shot anyway. Now, you must have money. Xiaohua's family earned three melons and two dates over the years, and they also went out a lot that time. So Xiaohua said to get together, get together. Who hasn't had a chance yet? In case something happens, you can find Xiaohua. Today's floret is not what it used to be. Although it is March, it is like putting gold on Xiaohua's face in March, which makes Xiaohua radiant and grow taller, from one meter eight to one meter eight!

On the day of the party, everyone who didn't leave the city came, except Geng Sanwa. With a height of 1.55 meters and a donkey face, you can remember him at a glance. Geng Sanwa, a native of the old city, despises dealing with us rural people who set up stalls. Although I live in a relative's house, I don't pay the rent and live on it. Although he lives alone, although he has some disabilities, he even avoids wolves. Xiaohua didn't ask him out, and we don't like him, to be honest.

Lao Zhang's boss came, which really surprised me. Lao Zhang lives as a fortune teller, but his life is really hard. He had a son who died of uremia at the age of fourteen. His heart died with his son, and he forgot to eat and sleep, day and night, and even forgot to breathe. Every time I see him, I feel that the unfortunate people in this world really have their own misfortunes. Lao Zhang is fifty-five, and he was fifty-two when his son died. Poor Lao Zhang, who can make people sympathize with tears. 18 years old went to the army after being frustrated in the college entrance examination. During his service, his parents died. Because it is a rural hukou, I didn't arrange a job when I came back from demobilization. His family is so poor that there is only one rotten cave. Which girl is willing to follow him? Since then, I have started a journey around the world and moved to Hebei. There is a family whose daughter-in-law has suffered from a strange disease for many years, and the hospital can't cure it, so she has to let Lao Zhang, who walks the rivers and lakes, treat it. The woman secretly followed Lao Zhang back out of gratitude and agreed to leave after giving birth to Lao Zhang. After the child turned one year old, the woman returned to her hometown in Hebei. From then on, Lao Zhang lived with his children, learned a fortune teller halfway, and shared a stall with us every day. We all have a lot of goods to sell. Lao Zhang only has a piece of advertising cloth two feet square. The advertising cloth is printed with gossip, face and hands, spread on the ground and sat on a small stool. This is all his property, oh, and his son. His son was violent since he was a child, and he refused to accept any school, so when he stood, his son was by his side. When a female customer came to tell her fortune, her son called names on her family. For this reason, Lao Zhang lost a lot to others, so his business is really not very good. Even so, the son is still a son, and it will always be the pride of Lao Zhang. The last time I saw Lao Zhang's son was in front of Lao Zhang's booth. The child's tired and thin body was wrapped in a very ill-fitting dress, sitting under the eaves of a self-service bank, curled up. That night, their father and son didn't go home to the compound, saying they went back to their hometown in Zizhou by car. We didn't talk about his son at this meeting. We just said that we would find a way for Lao Zhang in the future. Why don't you go back to the No.2 compound and rent a bungalow upstairs? Now the rent has dropped, and there is only one room upstairs, which costs 3 thousand yuan a year.

Courtyard 2, facing the street, is a complex, but it is also a two-story complex, which stands out in a pile of bungalows. I heard that it turned out to be the family courtyard of a public institution, and I can think of the original style from the iron gate higher than other bungalows, although the paint on the iron gate has all fallen off at this time. The gate faces south and the houses in the yard face north and south. The first floor is a cave, and the stairs are shared outdoors. There is a bungalow above each cave, which is our own. As soon as you enter the gate, you can see the stairs in the north house first, and the stairs in the south house can only be seen when you enter the yard, which is at the east end. Sixteen in all. There are more than sixteen houses for rent, about twenty. Some moved out, some moved in, and there were many children. But because it is in the city center, the rent is naturally more expensive. So there is no need to rent only one room, whether it is up or down. Of course, the caves below are definitely more expensive than those above, even if the walls fall off because of age. But it's very expensive, and it's also a hot commodity, surpassing the big girl. The yard and the roadway are very flat, and there are no obstacles such as thresholds, so this yard is very popular with us vendors, and it is very convenient to get in and out. Especially like me, who sells fruit with a three-wheeled cart, I like this yard. I have three children, two daughters and a son, so I rent it once, and the rent is 8.6 thousand a year, and I pay it in one lump sum. When I pay the rent every year, I ask the landlord to repair the house, but it is rejected. There are countless "fucking" in my heart! But smile on your face, and bring some seasonal fruits to the landlord. Who asked me to rent someone else's house so that the landlord wouldn't say "my relatives will live next year" As soon as this word comes out, it is to let you vacate the house, not to say that his family really has relatives living there. This is just a face-saving remark. I can't move out yet Because my eldest daughter goes to high school, my second daughter goes to junior high school, and my little boy goes to primary school, which is close to schools, hospitals and streets, I do business easily. Even if I'm not at home, my wife can sell fruit by herself, and I'm not afraid of coming home late at night.

Xiaohua set up a stall to sell fire, with her parents. Xiaohua is twenty-eight or nine years old, but I don't know why. He looks like a greasy uncle who is not married in his forties. It has been sold on the street for several years, and it has been saved to burn money. Little flowers are a little floating, and they are not popular with girls, but I can't speak even when I see them. It's none of our business. If I do, I may be offended and say that I am jealous of others making money. Occasionally, when we take a day off because of a major inspection, the men in the compound will get together to drink, brag and play cards, so I know Xiaohua has some "two problems". We have a family and a baby, so we won't make these "problems". Xiaohua lives in the south room at the east end of the yard, which is also rented from top to bottom. That afternoon, when they opened the shop in front of the door, Lao Zhang said to me, "This little flower has suffered a bloody disaster these days." I happen to be my wife. I'll be back for dinner later. I said Lao Zhang, if you want to solve the problem, you should cross Du Jie for him. Lao Zhang shook his head and said it was destiny takes a hand. It's time for the children to finish school. I quickly finished my meal and asked my wife to come back to greet the children. However, the city management is coming!

Look at this time, all the stalls are flying! If you don't fly, you can't let the city management take it away. You have to find someone to trust you, or you will be fined. Seeing the chengguan coming towards me, I quickly covered the fruit with a piece of cloth and ran three times! Run back to the second compound. Damn it, I just weighed it and haven't received the money yet! I don't care so much, whether it's more than one car or more than one car, I still have to make it clear! I won't come out after three rounds, and there are no fruit buyers! Who still refuses to keep the agreement! The fourth army couple also ran back carrying clothes racks and put the clothes back home. Urban management sometimes comes to search the yard, and it is safest to let them go home. I only heard the wife of the Fourth Army panting, swearing and complaining loudly, "Some bad cowards still have my two sets of children's clothes. I don't know if they have left! " If you leave, you will lose again today! Those are two sets of large sizes, and children's clothes make money by selling large sizes! "As it turns out, those women are gone! I also took two sets of children's clothes from the wife of the fourth army! It seems that these women know that the urban management is coming, so we just run regardless and have no time to take care of them, deliberately dawdling. Those two sets of clothes, I can't earn a day, this day, I lived in vain! Peace, who sells dishes, is back, but peace's son and a city manager are college classmates (junior college), probably surnamed Huang, and they take good care of peace. Although it is confiscated, they will personally send it back after dark. Cao Shi has a freezer that sells water. His son is a modest entrepreneur who often eats with the leaders of urban management, so no matter which urban management sees Cao Shi, it is polite to confiscate it. Forget it! Cao Shi doesn't have to run, just take a few symbolic steps. And Huang Dou didn't come back, I don't know where to go, no matter where to run, just run. Xiaohua didn't come back!

?

? Many people gathered in front of Xiaohua's booth! Xiaohua was detained by the urban management! I ran across the street. I have to help Xiaohua at the critical moment. I saw a dozen chengguan surrounded Xiaohua's family and wanted to confiscate the fire truck. This stainless steel cart was just welded by Xiaohua at a cost of more than 1000 yuan. How can I take it away? Can't! Pushing and pushing, some people threw the hot fire on the ground, some people poured the hot oil in the pot on the ground, some people buckled the noodles in the basin on the ground ... Xiaohua's mother begged and cried! Xiaohua's father was pushed aside! Xiaohua is impatient! He grabbed a steel pipe hidden in the cart and began to wave it desperately! As the saying goes, "I'm afraid of crossing! I am afraid of death! " Most of the chengguan stepped aside and started shooting. There are also those who are not convinced and want to show promotion, jump up. Red-eyed Xiao Hua yelled out with a stick, and the head of the chengguan was bleeding! It tilted and fell to the ground. Conveniently, Xiaohua smashed the car of the urban management again. Soon, the ambulance came, the secret service team came, and 1 10 also came. Xiaohua was taken away by her mother's crying!

The stainless steel cart was finally taken away. I helped Xiaohua's mother clean up the rest of the things. That night, the urban management worked overtime and didn't let us stand up again. As usual, let it go after 7 pm. Neighbors of Courtyard 2 all gathered at Xiaohua's house that night.

No.2 compound stayed up all night. Xiaohua became a news figure and caused a sensation in the whole street. What we are most concerned about is whether the urban management knocked down by Xiaohua is in danger. As long as people are okay, smashing a car or carrying a murder weapon is better than the prisoner's life and will not lose his life. The next morning, there was news that people were fine. We are all relieved. Xiaohua's parents went to the hospital to visit others and said ten baskets of good things. Go to the police station to visit Xiaohua again. It was in this gap that the news came that Xiaohua's father was going to be arrested, saying that it was a violent resistance to the law, but it was ambiguous, as if he could catch it. Xiaohua's father didn't know it and sent himself to the door abruptly. At the gate of the police station, when Xiaohua's father knew that he was going to arrest him, he was pushed by Xiaohua's pony, who usually called him a friend and brother, and pushed to the police, and was immediately arrested. Xiaohua's mother went home crying with our help.

No one expected that this pony was so bad. Damn, he usually puts on airs, always flaunts himself, and shows his tail whenever something happens. Fortunately, he didn't live in No.2 compound, otherwise he wouldn't have been killed! One of the most hateful people in the world is the one who pushes people at the sight of steps! Xiaohua's father came out in a few days, and Xiaohua was sentenced to three years. No.2 hospital, I can't hear the laughter of that year.

No.2 Hospital is not only inhabited by rural people who go to work in cities, but also two capable people, one is Hu Ge and the other is President Li. Brother Hu was an undergraduate in the 1980s. He was pushed out because of his integrity and finally became an ordinary section chief. Brother Hu is 1.8 meters tall, with slightly curly hair and a slightly fat figure. He wears a pair of gentle glasses and always looks like an outsider. His living in No.2 compound is just a transition. His house has been demolished, the new house has not been built, and the children are studying in a nearby school. President Li retired and came to live here because he had to take care of his grandson in primary school. There are plenty of houses, but they are far from his school. President Li is very thin, with a height of 1.7 meters. His eyes always seem to smile, and he never talks nonsense. His wife always cooks for everyone. Of course, my fruit is indispensable to everyone, and I must not let others suffer. His grandson and my son are in the same class, so I always feel that we have a fate of 100 thousand points, just because my son and the grandson of President Li received the same education. For this reason, President Li often calls me a classmate. Because most of us have no education, we all respect Hu Ge and President Li. Also because they didn't look down on us, and no matter who has anything, they are enthusiastic to help. On one occasion, Xiao Huang was chased into the yard by three chengguan to rob Xiao Huang. One of the chengguan was very timid when he saw President Li coming out of the hole! Why? Said he was a student of President Li. Haha, the No.2 compound is safer from now on, as long as Li is here.

Xiaohua had an accident, so it's only natural that Hu Ge and President Li should give advice. ? Ask a friend out. Xiaohua's family moved away and left the No.2 compound, and everyone came to help. There is also a seller of spicy kebabs in the yard, a native of Inner Mongolia, who had a fight with others in order to grab the booth. The woman was beaten and broke her arm, and she didn't get compensation, because the other side was even worse. It is not surprising that vendors often fight for stalls and get angry for business. Brother Hu said, "You are poor and hate being poor!" I still remember this sentence in my heart. Shortly after Xiaohua's family moved away, the Inner Mongolia couple also returned to Inner Mongolia. They are all selling vegetables, and the door is a mess. When they left, Geng Sanwa spat at the door and scolded, "These two mulberry stars! Dirt a yard! Bah! " This happened to be heard by me, and Mason Han provided it and heard it. Many people in the yard heard it. Although they didn't scold us, it was annoying to listen. What the hell are you? You don't know. I wish I could pick up all the toilet paper we threw away. We don't know what he did with it. Pick up everything! I once saw him pick up food that others had dropped on the ground. Damn it, you should be qualified not to like others.

Three months later, Xiaohua stood in the street again. However, the spell of Xiaohua is worthwhile. Because the urban management is coming, Xiaohua just needs to move into the driveway, instead of running like us. Then someone followed suit. Even so, I dare not follow suit, because I don't want my relatives to worry about me, just because the urban management is chasing me and I am afraid.

At the dinner table, everyone was drinking and laughing. We recall the past, tell stories after separation, and plan the future. Nine people, representatives of nine families. We come from different places, once lived in a big yard, and today we get together for dinner. People are really emotional animals. You may not think that Brother Hu and President Li are here. At this point, we are moved by the bumpkin beyond words. Only by raising a glass can we express our feelings. What kind of people are they? After several years, they never forget us and can all come to the party. This is a great honor. Xiaohua cried when she toasted President Li, which was very touching. I can feel that President Li must have helped Xiaohua a lot, but we won't know if people don't tell us. Xiaohua is still selling fire, but she doesn't have to run any more. Later, the city management had a new director. I heard that my hometown is rural and I was born in poverty. I have more sympathy for us street vendors. The government has introduced a policy of benefiting the people and setting up fixed booths for the poor, but you have to apply. Because there are too many people signing up and the booths are limited, an affair will naturally have a flower intestines. People will do anything for a booth. Fierce competition is like a test of life! No matter what else, Xiaohua applied for a booth, even if she didn't rest for 24 hours, no one was in charge. For this, I'm really a little envious, because I'm still running, but I don't want to waste it or stay there. Later, I heard that some people were unwilling to rent out the booth they applied for on a regular basis, charging 3 thousand a month. I think my head must have been kicked by a donkey. Therefore, Han Xiao, a bricklayer, saw me once and hurt me once, and I could only laugh foolishly. Han provided bought a single-family house in the south of the city, saying that there was still a little famine, and he looked like a grandson after a hard day's work. Alas, who is not a grandson?

There are many people in the compound, so I won't say them one by one. Finally, let's talk about Lao Hui. I always like to praise Lao Hui and the Excellence of his two sons. Lao Hui took my toast to him and gulped it down. Lao Hui and his wife sell fruits like me, each pushing an old wooden cart, walking in the streets of the city every day, not standing in a fixed booth, and like me, there is no dispute with anyone. Lao Hui doesn't like to talk. He smiles at everyone, his eyes narrowed into a crack, and his thin body seems to be crushed by a load of fruit at any time. In fact, he can completely avoid this crime. His two sons both graduated from Beijing Institute of Technology, worked in a research institute in Beijing, bought a house in Beijing, and even married a doctor's wife. I always say that he gave birth to four doctors. In addition to the old neighbors of No.2 compound, outsiders don't know the story of Lao Hui, and neither does the urban management, so they are often chased and have nowhere to hide. Once I said to several urban management officers who chased him, "Look at this humble old man. Do you know that the rocket launched by our country has the power contributed by his son? He gave birth to two excellent sons for the country. " They stopped and asked incredulously, "Is this true?" I definitely said to them: "It's true!" ? My words are still good for Lao Hui, but I'm not talking nonsense.

Xiaohua built a group for nine of us and named it "No.2 Hospital". This name is the bond that binds our friendship, and it is also like our spiritual home. We have a common desire, that is, to try our best to live a good life. We didn't go to karaoke after dinner, so we didn't learn that fashion. How big is it? After the meal, the gentlemen went back to their posts and went about their business.
