“It’s like this, Jiang Nanzhou brought his grandfather to me for fortune telling. He is looking for his younger brother who was separated more than 50 years ago. When their family went abroad in a hurry, his younger brother was taken to the countryside by their nanny who visited relatives. They failed to him away with them.” Lin Qingyin put the tortoiseshell in her hand on the table: “I made a hexagram just now, your grandfather is probably Jiang Nanzhou’s grandfather’s younger brother, and your great-grandmother is the nanny who took care of him back then.”
Hearing Lin Qingyin’s remarks, Chen Jia’s expression was a little ugly, she grabbed her bag and stood up, and left: “What nonsense, I’ve never heard of it from my family.” She glanced at Jiang Nanzhou, looking very disappointed: “Your family is too childish. If you are looking for someone, you should be at the police station. How can you do this to find someone? Isn’t this nonsense? It’s a pity that you came back from abroad, but you are more superstitious than the older generation.”
Jiang Nanzhou looked aggrieved: “But divination is not feudal superstition at this time, and Master Lin is very famous, it’s very difficult to invite her.”
Chen Jia seemed to be even more aggrieved, she glared at Jiang Nanzhou angrily: “Don’t call me little elder sister in the future, I’m not that old!”
Lin Qingyin smiled lightly: “Won’t you know the truth if you ask your family? What if the old man misses the opportunity to be reunited with his family just because of your subjective emotions? It’s such a pity, isn’t it? Don’t you remember anything wrong with your grandfather’s life experience?”
Chen Jia stopped a little hesitantly. She couldn’t help recalling the scene in elementary school. At that time, she and her grandfather went to see her grandmother. Just as she was about to fall asleep in a daze in the afternoon, she heard her grandmother smile and say to her grandfather: “Look at Xiaojia. Sleeping with bent legs and arms, she’s exactly like you when you were a child. At that time, madam always said that you were born by a frog. When she was pregnant with you, you keep moving, and when you were born you jump even more. I think Xiaojia will follow you.”
She doesn’t know why these words have been imprinted in her mind for more than ten years. She was young and didn’t understand things, but she also thought it sounded strange, but she never dared to ask adults. But today, when she thought about it, it seems that there was a problem.
Seeing that Chen Jia hesitated, Jiang Zhengning stood up: “Is your grandmother’s surname Zhang? And is there a red mole in the middle of her eyebrows?” He raised his hand and pointed it in between his eyebrows: “It’s in this position.”
Chen Jia was like being struck by lightning. She opened her mouth for a long time but couldn’t speak. Jiang Zhengning knew he was right just by looking at her expression.
Chen Jia sat back in her seat again, took out her mobile phone, and hesitated for a moment. She doesn’t know whether to call or not. After all, the family was now living a happy life. She doesn’t know if the elderly at home can bear it.
All kinds of thoughts went round in her heart. Chen Jia looked at Jiang Zhengning and asked seriously, “Did you guys abandon my grandfather on purpose?”
“Of course not, he is my brother, how could we deliberately abandon him? It’s just it’s too late to pick him up.” Jiang Zhengning still felt very sad when he mentioned the past: “In the past few decades, not only my parents but also the three of us, siblings, have always been brooding about the loss of our little brother. Now my parents are in their 90s. They insisted on flying back to China because they wanted to find my little brother again. No matter what, our family has to meet again.”
Chen Jia was a girl after all. Her eyes turned a little red when she heard this, and she felt sore in her heart. She hesitated for a while, but still took out her mobile phone.
