"But why do I think he's familiar?" "Really?" "Then I'll help you ask." The fat man called the lame man of the inn and pointed at me and said, "He said he knows you." ”

The lame man walked up to me, looked at it for a long time, and said with a little doubt: "Are you from XX Zhuang?" As soon as he said this, I became even more convinced of my judgment: "You are, Xiaoduo-" "Yes, I am Xiaoduo." The cripple said.

"Cousin." I hurriedly stood up, grabbed his hand and shouted, "When my cousin died, why didn't I see you go back?" The lame man also clasped my hand and said, "At that time, your cousin-in-law gave birth, and I couldn't leave." ”

Our conversation surprised my aunt's old cousin and the fat man. I hurriedly explained it to them.

It turned out that the lame man's real name was Zhang Yunan, and he was my aunt's grandson. Because it's an old relative, I haven't had much contact. I remember when I was a child, my cousin brought him to stay with me for a few days and never saw each other again.

According to my father, my cousin was a miserable man. When I was young, I had good legs, but when I reached middle age, I was suddenly paralyzed. It's just that he is paralyzed, who would have thought that giving birth to a son, Xiaoduo, was actually a congenital polio.

Such a family can only live by begging. At that time, because my grandfather was a businessman, our family was quite good, and my cousin was my mother's mother's family, and my cousin often received help from us.

Every time he came to my house, my mother would make him a bun. However, he felt embarrassed when he came more often, and gradually came less and less in the future. In the eyes of the people, their family is a bundle of tofu with hemp rope - they can't lift it.

And his son Xiaoduo is even more material to be a naked man. Who would have thought that he also opened a restaurant in Chenghai, became the boss, and married a wife and had children. That's one of the reasons why I didn't dare to recognize him.

My cousin married a later marriage, and my cousin gave birth to a son and two daughters for him in addition to her ex-husband's two sons, and she also had a sister and a younger sister in Henan. Henan is the same year as my second brother, eight years older than me. When he was younger, I was very young, so we couldn't talk.

Now, it is a joy to meet in this place. I pointed to my aunt's old watch and said, "This is my fourth aunt's old watch." "Then Yu Nan and my cousin nodded to each other, and they knew each other.

Because they were all relatives, Yu Nan asked the chef to fry a few more dishes, and he also sat down and drank with us. When I was about to settle the bill, I still left a favor of ten yuan.

With this layer of relationship, the so-called fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and a few of us often visit the Henan Hotel. Then Henan will also give us some preferential treatment.

We came here a lot, and we got to know the chef of the restaurant, a fat man with a cheerful voice. His name is Wang Tonghe, and he is in the neighboring village of mine, and his home is on the edge of the Tang River.

My cousin and I had three girls in the factory we were in, but none of them chased them at first. At some point, my cousin got into a conversation with one of the short and fat girls. Soon after, the girl became pregnant, and later became my cousin.

When colleagues asked about my cousin's experience, he said that at first he was kind to her, and then "the bully took the bow". On the first date, my cousin did it. The girl didn't resist. And just like that, the matter is settled.

But the girl's parents were also in Chenghai, and when they heard that the girl was pregnant, they had to break her legs. After a few days in the house, the girl sneaked out again and discussed eloping with my cousin.

My cousin came to me and told me that he was leaving. I said, "You're gone, what am I going to do?" "You'd better do a good job here." "However, the wages in this factory are too low, and I don't want to stay here." I say.

"Then let's go to the Henan Hotel to find the old watch of Henan and ask him to help introduce a factory." My cousin said.

Then I went with him to find Henan. Yu Nan said: "It just so happens that your cousin-in-law is about to give birth, and my hotel is short of manpower, so you will work in the hotel for two months, and I will help you find a factory after your cousin-in-law is confined." Would you like to? I thought for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

The next day, I settled the bill in the factory and came to the Henan Hotel with my luggage. And my aunt's old watch didn't show me back my money, so she took the girl and didn't know where she went.

My cousin's incident caused quite a stir in my heart. I wondered, why are the girls chased by other boys so easy to chase, but the girls I met were so difficult?

Is God destined for me to experience these regretful loves and live my regretful life? Or I don't know how to chase girls. I've been thinking about these things for a long time, but I still can't think of an answer.

So, I thought of books. I went to Xinhua Bookstore in Chenghai and bought a book that studies the psychology of girls and teaches you how to chase girls. After reading them for a while, I put those books on the shelf.

In fact, falling in love is also a science, but some people just can't understand him, such as me. I thought that after reading those books, I might already be in love or chasing girls, but when it comes to actual operation, I will drop the chain. Readers will see about this in the following chapters.

Now I still talk about the scene of me at the Henan Hotel. Because I knew each other before, as soon as I arrived at the door of the hotel, Wang Tonghe hurriedly came out to greet me. After packing his luggage and resting for a while, he began to tell me about the daily work.

The South Henan Restaurant sells steamed buns and spicy soup in the morning, and stewed noodles at noon and evening. At the same time, it is also made and sold. My job is to give Wang Tonghe a hand.

Usually, I need to make the noodles one night and make the steamed buns the next morning. Most of the workers go to work at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, so Wang Tonghe and I have to get up at half past five every morning, wrap the steamed buns, put them on the steamer rack, and then burn the spicy soup.

By half-past six, my cousin would come over to help from my cousin (who was renting a house in another place with a few children). Around seven o'clock, it was our busiest time. Take steamed buns, serve spicy soup, wash dishes and chopsticks, and be very busy.

Most of the people who went to work were in a hurry, quickly finished their breakfast, and walked to the factory. There are also those who get up late or are far away, so they simply take a few buns and leave, eating as they go.

After eight o'clock, the restaurant began to sit idle. At this point, I am free to schedule my time. and take out your own literary books to read. But my mind was so messy at the time that I didn't know why I couldn't even read those literary books. Even if you look at it, you can't get it into your head.

I can't plug it in if I want to. I think the most important reason is that there is no woman who can't have peace of mind.

Do you know how to write the word "an"? It is a treasure with the word "female" under the head. What our ancestors meant was that a man would settle down when he had a woman's heart. Without women, their hearts are in turmoil.

There are three metaphors that can be compared to a man without a woman: a white cloud in the sky, a horse without a halter, and a kite with a broken string, floating wherever it goes.

One day, Henan came to the hotel. When he saw that I was reading again, he came up to me and asked, "Do you love literature?" Before I could answer, Wang Tonghe, who knew my details, said, "He once wrote a long novel." ”

"Have you published any articles?" "Nope." I say. "Then what else do you love about literature? When I was younger, I also loved literature, and I even published an article called "Little River". After Yu Nan said this, my face turned red. Seeing this, he didn't ask any more questions and went out.

"Little River? He said that he had published an article called "Little River", and I had actually written an article called "Little River in My Hometown". "I think.

It was when I was in high school, didn't I have an essay called "Climbing" that was praised by my teacher? In fact, the essay was nothing but new, and there was nothing to praise about it.

However, as soon as I was praised by the teacher, I thought that I was Li Bai's resurrection and Du Fu's reincarnation, and I was so proud that I didn't know how thick it was.

I knew I couldn't write something, but I had to write it.
