Chapter 273: Thinking Too Much
I scratched my head and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Why do you say I'm sorry," Xiaofen said, "It's none of your business." ”
In fact, I really want to tell Xiaofen that this really has something to do with me. It's just that Shizu doesn't know how to talk about it, so I naturally don't want to talk to Xiaofen. So, I just stood quietly and didn't speak.
"I remember, when I was a child, my father loved my mother very much. My mother works as a pastry chef in a five-star hotel, and every time my father takes me to pick up my mother from work. Xiaofen said: "I still remember the day my mother disappeared, my mother was assigned by the hotel to participate in an exchange meeting of pastry chefs in Sancai City. Originally, my father was going to go with him, but my father happened to be attending a martial arts tournament at the time. After speaking, Xiao Fen looked at a trophy placed outside and continued: "No, that's it, the national martial arts champion." ”
I also looked at that trophy. Let's call it a trophy. It was supposed to be golden and well protected. Now, it's in an inconspicuous corner, and those who don't know it think it's a consolation prize.
"My dad said that if it weren't for this award, my mother wouldn't have disappeared that day. With my father's martial arts, no matter what danger he encounters, he will definitely be able to save my mother. Xiao Fen said affirmatively.
I frowned and said, "Sister Xiaofen, in fact, there are some things that can't be solved by martial arts. As fate would have it, manpower was only afraid that it would be difficult to reverse. ”
"Yes," Xiao Fen nodded, "I naturally understand what you mean." If my father had been there at the time, I'm afraid they would have disappeared together. Still, if that's the case, it might be better. ”
"Would it be better?" I wondered. I wondered what this Xiaofen thought and why she would say such a thing.
"So that my dad doesn't have to blame himself for so many years." Xiao Fen continued.
"But if that happens, aren't you an orphan?" I asked again.
"What's so bad about orphans. I can take care of myself. Moreover, there is also Uncle Shi. Xiaofen said: "It's better than now, my father is like this." I feel distressed when I look at it. ”
I have to say, I admire Xiaofen very much. If you call someone else, I'm afraid you won't think so. Most of them complain, or give up on themselves. Xiao Fen was able to say such things, but it is conceivable that Xiao Fen is a kind person. I nodded and said, "Well, Sister Xiaofen, I really admire you." ”
"Really?" Xiaofen said, "I thought you would say that I was abnormal." ”
I shook my head and said, "You think this for your father's good." And, in fact, didn't you take good care of your father? I heard Uncle Qiu, the business of your martial arts hall is not very good, and he and your father are dependent on you for support. ”
"Poof" Xiaofen smiled: "My uncle still wants to save face." This martial arts hall, it's not that the business is not very good, it's that there is no business at all. To be honest, my uncle's kung fu is not as good as my father's seven or eighty percent. I have participated in so many national martial arts competitions, and at most I am seventh, and I have no medals. The city has won several championships, but the people of Xiling City are not very interested in traditional martial arts. ”
"That's... Do you still open a martial arts gym? I wondered.
Xiao Fen said: "I suggested opening this martial arts hall. When my mother disappeared, my uncle was only 18 years old. My ancestor died early, so my uncle has been with my father since he was fourteen years old. My dad was taking care of him all the time. After my mother disappeared, my father looked for my mother everywhere, and our family's life depended on my uncle. But my uncle doesn't know anything except martial arts. You can't be a thug for someone else, can you? I had to go to work as a porter. In the morning, people are unloaded at the cargo terminal, and in the evening they are loaded at the logistics center. That's how the muscles of his body are trained. ”
Indeed, for a person who practices martial arts, it is a bit inadequate to be reduced to being a porter for others. It's like a Taoist priest who can only open a paper shop or make a living at a funeral home.
Xiaofen continued: "I didn't continue to study after I finished junior high school, and went directly to a technical school to learn how to make noodles. At the age of eighteen, I became a young first-class pastry chef in the country. At that time, the sponsor said that I had a future and wanted to take care of the cultivation, so they asked me to work as the head of the pastry department in a five-star hotel in Xiling City. This life is slowly getting better. Last year, I got a dividend, so I rented this place and opened a martial arts gym. I really don't want my uncle to be a porter anymore. Although he always said that it was easy to carry things, his leg joints were already in trouble. Otherwise, do you think you can win against my uncle so easily? ”
I nodded slightly and said, "Well, Uncle Qiu's kung fu is good, I just took advantage of it." ”
"By the way," Xiao Fen suddenly asked, "I see that you are only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, right?" Even if I don't go to high school, I shouldn't be fooling around. It's not good, you have to find something serious to do. ”
I was slightly stunned. Don't know how to explain it. Theoretically, I am indeed following my ancestors. said that it was good to go back to Longhu Mountain, but now it is going farther and farther. It's just that, as the master said, it is part of the experience of returning to the mountain. It doesn't seem to be just a fool's errand. As for serious things, it should be considered a serious thing to take the ghosts who have not yet died to go home to fulfill their last wishes, right? However, I can't tell Xiaofen.
Xiao Fen saw that I didn't speak, so she said, "Forget it, I don't understand the set of you martial arts practitioners." It's as if everything has its own reason. However, if you want to settle down, or if you don't have a place to go for a while, you should stay here with your master for a while. Anyway, there are places, and there are steamed buns. ”
My heart was hot, and I nodded slightly, "Thank you, Sister Xiaofen." "On second thought, this Xiaofen shouldn't be interesting to me. Thinking of this, I was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Xiaofen, I..."
Xiaofen knocked on the door of my head, and then smiled: "I'm not young, I have a lot of ideas." I guess I take you in, I don't like boys younger than me. ”
It's embarrassing, it's probably the first time I've wanted to say no when a girl hasn't expressed a crush on me. I didn't think about it, but I thought too much about it now. I had no choice but to laugh and say, "Sister Xiaofen, I'm thinking too much." ”
"However, don't say it yet" Xiao Fen smiled: "At first glance, you don't look very good, but after a few more glances, it's still quite pleasing to the eye." It just so happens that our hotel is looking for a doorman, are you interested? ”
"Doorman?" I was going to say no. However, now that I have no money, I will definitely need to pay for it if I want to continue on the road. I am not familiar with this Xiling City, and I am afraid that it is impossible to do business with a signboard. So I said, "Well, I'll discuss it with my master." I also need to earn some money for my travel. (To be continued.) )
