Part 23 The Horror of Stone City
Not long after I got to work, the May Day holiday is coming again. Think about this life, except for school, sleep, and retirement, there really isn't much time spent on work. If the value of life is measured by contributing to society and others, most people will probably be negative.
Xiao Han sent a greeting on WeChat to Lulu, the local lady who was chatting with the marriage, but he didn't get a reply for a long time, so he sent a WeChat message to the traveling marriage seeker Milk Grape who chatted with yesterday.
Xiao Han: Good evening, will this be convenient to continue the conversation?
Milk Grape: Hello big brother, convenient, let's still voice.
Xiao Han dialed her voice.
Milk Grape: I also like direct voice rather than buttons.
Xiao Han: The voice is trouble-free and can have a similar feeling of an interview.
Milk Grape: That's it! Big brother, I told you about that yesterday, do you think I'm too open?
Xiao Han: You're pursuing happiness, but you're really more open than ordinary women!
Milk Grape: Actually, I'm not really the kind of woman who likes to mess around. We have a company owner who invited me many times to accompany him on trips, saying that he would give me a lot of money, but I just wouldn't agree to him!
Xiao Han: Oh, does he have a wife?
Milk Grape: It's because he has a wife that I don't agree to him, I only look for a husband, not anyone's junior.
Xiao Han: Being a junior will destroy other people's families, isn't it immoral?
Milk Grape: That's it!
Xiao Han: Yesterday you said that you left Xi'an and went to Shijiazhuang, what is the situation in Shijiazhuang?
Milk grapes: This one in Shijiazhuang is called Niu Gang, five years older than me, 1.85 meters tall, black and strong, with a small head and big eyes, but when he stares at people, he is very mad, and he speaks in a buzzing voice.
Xiao Han: It's not the underworld, is it?
Milk Grape: He's not! He's the kind of guy who doesn't talk much, he's pretty gloomy.
Xiao Han: Did you go to his house?
Milk Grape: He drove me in a big jeep and took me to his house. His home is in the suburbs, and his parents have a two-story building, and he also has a two-story building, and he lives in the front and back yards with his parents.
Xiao Han: What does he do?
Milk grapes: Seventy or eighty cows are raised in the woods outside the village.
Xiao Han: Actually, rural people who have some skills are better off than some people in the city.
Milk Grape: There is a big jujube tree in his big yard, all the furniture in his house is semi-new solid wood furniture, and the household appliances are also bulky and practical.
Xiao Han: How did he treat you? Can you take a fancy to him?
Milk Grape: He didn't seem enthusiastic about me, but he was real.
Xiao Han: That's not bad.
Milk Grape: When he showed me around his kitchen, he pointed to the high, big gas stove and said, "I'll leave it to you in the future, and I'll eat whatever you do." ”
I asked him, "Do you like beef and mutton?" ”
He nodded.
When he showed me around the bedroom he had prepared for me, he opened the drawer of the dresser, pointed to a pile of dirty bills inside, and said, "You can buy this money for groceries, and I'll put it in when it's almost gone, and the village shops have everything." ”
I asked him, "Can I spend whatever I want?" For example, buying clothes and cosmetics. ”
He nodded again.
Xiao Han: Don't you live in a bedroom with him?
Milk Grape: When I first entered his house, my face was hot, it must have been red, he was so burly, and I was so petite......
But the bedroom he arranged for me was upstairs, while he himself lived in a bedroom on the first floor.
Xiao Han: Is he conservative or not lustful?
Milk Grape: I didn't know what was going on at the time, but I just thought he was very serious.
Xiao Han: He's also divorced? What about his children?
Milk Grape: No, he's widowed! One of his sons is five years old, and his parents take him with him.
Xiao Han: How did his ex-wife die?
Milk Grape: I think he's always so gloomy, I don't want to arouse his sadness, so I didn't ask.
Xiao Han: He doesn't sleep with you, do you feel lost? Hehe!
Milk Grape: You ask this as if I need it so much.
Xiao Han: It's normal to need it!
Milk Grape: you! I'm really looking for a husband to start a family.
Xiao Han: Hehe, okay, I won't tease you, you go on.
Milk Grape: After I moved into his house, I bought groceries, cooked and houseed every day, and of course bought myself a few clothes by the way. He is really good at serving, even if it is boiled noodles or stewed mutton, he eats it very fragrantly.
Xiao Han: Does he smoke and drink?
Milk Grape: He doesn't smoke, he doesn't drink, he doesn't play cards, he goes to work on the cattle farm after eating all day, and he hardly chats with me except for asking him a few words during dinner.
Xiao Han: Why is he so boring?
Milk Grape: In the first few days, I thought he was quite manly, but after a few days I thought he was too unsentimental, and it was hard for me to imagine how I could live with him for the rest of my life. But I think it's quite practical to be with him. He doesn't have to work for me to earn money, he doesn't ask how much money he spends, and he doesn't care if I chat online.
Xiao Han: Is it because he doesn't have you in his heart?
But when I stayed at her house for almost a month, he asked me after dinner that day, "Do you think this family is okay?" ”
I lowered my head and said, "It's okay!" ”
He looked at me directly: "Do you think I'm okay?" ”
I bit my lip: "You're quite sincere!" ”
He stood up and turned his back to ask very solemnly, "Then are you willing to marry me?" ”
I bit my lip and thought for a while, and the room was filled with silence.
I think I've been married twice before and failed, and this time I have to be careful!
I muttered, "Shall we both spend some time together and then decide?" ”
He looked up at the ceiling lamp on the roof: "Then give you another ten days to think about it, if you are willing to marry me at that time, I will give you a bride price, and then hold a simple wedding, if you are not willing to marry me, I will give you the way to send you back!" ”
With that, he went back to his bedroom.
Xiao Han: Do you have to have a bride price for remarriage? This is some bad habit in the countryside, right?
Milk Grape: I really didn't think about the bride price when I remarried, and it wasn't that I asked him for it, but he proposed it.
Xiao Han: How did you reply to him after that?
Milk Grape: I thought twice, and on the evening of the tenth day, he looked at me after dinner and asked me with his eyes what I decided.
Xiao Han: How did you reply?
Milk Grape: Slowly, quietly, I said, "I agree to marry you!" ”
Xiao Han: Oh!
Milk Grape: I thought he would be happy to hear my promise, but he was still very calm, and just said coldly: "Then I will give you a bride price tomorrow and prepare for the wedding." ”
He still went back to his own bedroom that night!
Xiao Han: He's going to wait until the wedding is over before he has sex with you, right?
Milk grapes: But on this night......
Xiao Han: Hehe! Did he look for you?
Milk Grape: I can't imagine it!
Xiao Han: I guessed right, right? Hehe, men are like that!
Milk Grape: What, it's not like that!
Xiao Han: What's that?
Milk Grape: In the middle of the night, I smelled a smell of smoke downstairs, and I thought it was on fire somewhere, so I went down to check, and in a small room downstairs with open windows, I saw that there was no light on in this room, but a fire. Niu Gang is sitting cross-legged on the ground burning paper! There is a portrait of a woman on the case, and two plates of fruit tributes are placed in front of the portrait! There was also a white candle with a flame.
Xiao Han: He's burning paper for his deceased wife, right?
Milk Grape: I heard him talk to the portrait as he added paper to the fire.
Xiao Han: What did he say?
Milk grapes: He said, "Arashi! You've been gone for almost five years, and our sons are all five years old, and I miss you so much! I often see you in my dreams. Last night I dreamed of you again, I dreamed that you were touching your son's head, I dreamed that you smiled at me! I dreamed that you were leaving, and you walked a few steps and looked back at me, and after a few steps, you looked back at me! ”
Xiao Han: It seems that Niu Gang's heart is his deceased wife.
Milk grapes: He continued: "Lanzi, before you died, you told me to let me find another woman to start a family, you asked me to agree, I promised you, but I really can't let go of you in my heart!" Ten days ago, you urged me to remarry in a dream, and you said that this woman who is coming now is good, let me marry her......"
Xiao Han: It's mysterious!
Milk grapes: He continued, "Arashi! Are you real or fake what I saw in my dreams? Do you really want me to marry this woman as a daughter-in-law? If it's true, you just let the candle nod and I'll know it's true. ”
Xiao Han: The candle flame?
Milk Grape: Mom, I was scared to death at the time, I saw that the white ash fire really lit twice!
I almost cried out in fright, quickly covered my mouth with my hands, and quietly went back to my bedroom. I didn't dare to sleep that night, and I didn't dare to turn off the lights.
Xiao Han: The fire may have been blown by the wind blowing in from the window.
Milk Grape: Anyway, I can't marry a man who has a dead wife in his heart all day.
Xiao Han: That's right.
Milk Grape: The next day I made him breakfast and watched him finish it. He looked up at me and asked me with his eyes why my eyes were red?
I covered my eyes with my hands and said tremblingly: "Niu Gang, I know that you are a good person, although I promised to marry you, but now I find that I am not suitable for you, I'm sorry!" I'm leaving today. ”
Xiao Han: Did he keep it?
Milk Grape: He didn't say anything, just a moment of silence, then nodded.
Xiao Han: He sent you away?
Milk Grape: He took me to the train station, and as soon as I got out of the car, he drove away, and we didn't even say goodbye.
Xiao Han: People, there is no emotion, and it is boring to say anything.
Milk Grape: But I feel very relaxed without him. After that, I bought a train ticket to Dezhou, Shandong.
Xiao Han: No one gave you the passage fee this time?
Milk grapes: Because I left in a hurry, I didn't make an appointment in advance, but I had a chat friend in Texas who was asking for marriage, so I went out first.
Xiao Han: A new story has begun, right? What kind of men will you meet?
Milk grapes: Would you like to talk another day?
Xiao Han: Okay, good night, good dreams!
Milk grapes: Good night!
