Volume 1: The Candle Dragon of the South China Sea Chapter 7: Door-to-door proposal
The bullet train sped along the railway, passing through high-rise buildings, leaving Beijing with only patches of cultivated land and rows of dense forests. Looking out the window, the white clouds are long, the vast grassland, although the scenery outside the window is good, but my heart is a mess.
When passing through the stop, two more people came up in the car, a fat man and a girl.
The girl sat opposite me, I turned around and looked, quite the gentleness and temperament of a southern girl without losing the straightforwardness and innocence of a northern girl, it seems that I am about the same age as twenty-five, I didn't have the heart to look at her and continued to look out of the window, the girl raised her head and looked at me blankly, at this time her position and the window formed a straight line, and thought that I had been peeking at her, her eyes were staring at me, I suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly lowered my head as if nothing had happened.
"Have you seen enough, let's see and gouge out your eyeballs." The girl glared at me and said.
I was stunned for a moment, raised my head and sneered on my face: "I'm just looking at the scenery outside, when will I see you." ”
"Dare to deny it! I've never seen such a brazen person. The girl said angrily.
"Who is unreasonable? I've never seen anyone as narcissistic as you. I ignored her and continued to look out the window.
"What a bunch of mud-legged people who have never seen the world. Hehe...", the girl said to herself.
Clay legs, I was angry when I heard it, this is a scolding word, describing the low status, and also referring to some unreasonable and domineering people.
"Hum stinky girl! I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, and I don't want to be like you. I said angrily to her.
The girl ignored me after hearing this, but searched around her body, and suddenly found a selfie stick from her bag, I was stunned when I saw it, it has only been a few years since the reform and opening up, and someone dares to beat someone in front of everyone?
The fat man next to him quickly stopped the girl, and said to me apologetically: "This is my sister, don't be surprised, southern girl, anxious, let's smoke together." ”
After the persuasion of the fat man, the girl put down the selfie stick in her hand, and I saw that it was better to stay away from this girl first, in case some neuropathy hurt me later, it would be very troublesome. got up and followed the fat man to the smoking area to smoke,
When he arrived at the smoking area, he took out a box of unopened cigarettes and handed one to the fat man, and the fat man smiled: "Brother, you are from the north with an accent, why are you going so far to Yunnan, I am from Yunnan, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me." ”
"Hey, I'm in a very annoying mood, and I want to go outside for a few days to relax." I took a drag on my cigarette and said with a long sigh.
"Then I don't know, where is it worth going outside?" The fat man said to me with a smile.
The fat man's words seem to have something in his words, I can't see that not only the girl is sick, but even this fat man is sick, what are you smiling at me? I have a half-dime relationship with him.
"Don't hide it, find someone with the surname He." I say.
The fat man's face suddenly changed, and he hesitated for a long time and said slowly: "You won't be going to propose, right?" ”
After the fat man finished speaking, I was immediately stunned, the second uncle just said something to me on the phone, how did the fat man know.
I immediately put a cigarette on the fat man and said, "If my eldest brother knows about this, please tell me everything you know." ”
The fat man suddenly sneered at me, I didn't know what the fat man meant, and the two of them stood stupidly in the smoking room for a long time.
After a while, the fat man lit a cigarette again, took a big puff of smoke and exhaled the smoke, and said slowly: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, this He Xiangu is a well-known medical family in our Yunnan, I have heard my ancestors talk about it, this He family ancestors have studied medicine for five generations, and on weekdays, our ordinary people go to see a doctor for free and even distribute food to some poor people, but her family has a very strange tradition, medical skills are passed on to women and not men, and even family property is only passed on to women, and slowly become He Xiangu by the locals." ”
"Then where is her man?" I asked curiously.
"No one knows, but the ancestors of this He family are all beautiful women, and the maids, cooks, security guards and so on in this family only hire women." The fat man said smoking a cigarette.
I looked out the window, smoking in my mouth, and the grass and trees outside the window were like the vast sea, and these things were getting more and more complicated like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The fat man saw that I was puzzled and then said: "Recently, it may be that the old lady of her family does not know what evil she has fallen into, and she has to recruit a son-in-law who comes to the door to propose marriage, and the bride price is not a penny, and even her family's property is also given to this son-in-law." Hey, brother, why haven't I encountered such a good thing, and I'm going to let my son try it, but he's only twelve years old. ”
I turned around and stood there in a daze, looking at the fat man in front of me, who was only in his early thirties, how could he have a teenage son, what the fuck was going on. Anyway, I'm only going this time to do business, not to propose.
The fat man seemed to see my doubts, and said firmly: "The He family has a high prestige in the local area, and they will never break their promises, and it is impossible to play tricks, but I don't know whose boy's blessings in the last life, and if he can spread such a good family, he will have no worries about food and clothing in the next life." ”
"Money is something outside the body, what's the use of asking for so much money, in the end it's not turning into dust, isn't it just to live in the world to be carefree and chic and comfortable." I looked out the window, completely ignoring the fat man's respectful face, like a man with two sleeves in the breeze.
"Yes, yes, you're right. It seems that little brother, you are young but you can dilute money, fame and fortune, and enter a realm of selflessness, and it seems that you are about to become an immortal. The fat man said to me respectfully.
"The money must be earned slowly, the road must be walked step by step, don't accidentally fall on a big heel, let alone be such a shameful thing as a door-to-door son-in-law, I won't go anyway." I continued to look out the window and speak, unshaken by the fat man's words.
"It seems that my brother is really a master of the world, Xiaosheng really admires and admires." The fat man said respectfully with a fist hug at me.
Although I can't tell whether the fat man's words are sarcastic or want to say some jokes to be humorous, but chatting with the fat man along the way has made me really much easier, but I haven't revealed half of the purpose of this trip, because after all, it is a friend I just met, and my business experience tells me that I have to be careful.
Returned to the seat, I saw that we had been chatting for three hours, the station in Yunnan had arrived, the senior sisters politely signaled us to get off the train, I looked at the girl opposite had already left, I thought she would come to find trouble, and I was relieved.
When I subconsciously went to get my suitcase, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, the zipper on the bag was opened, I quickly opened it to take a look, and sure enough, in addition to a few clothes I brought, the black and white photo of my grandfather was gone.
I quickly found Sister Gao and said that I lost something, Sister Gao turned on the monitor for me to check, it turned out that when I was chatting with the fat man just now, the girl opposite actually opened my backpack and stole the photo.
It seems that I was careless, but if you think about it, what's the use of her wanting to retaliate against me for stealing this photo?
With doubts, I went to the local police station to call the police, and when the police saw that I was a foreigner, they greeted me with a word of greeting, and a policeman came over and asked me what I had lost? How much is it worth?
I said that it was just a black and white photo that wasn't worth much, and the policemen laughed and comforted me, saying, "If it's just an ordinary photo, let's leave if it's nothing, we're still waiting to get off work." ”
Disappointed from the police station out, looking at this strange street, my heart was suddenly full of despair, just lit a cigarette, a black Land Rover stopped in front of me with a burst of brakes, scared I just lit the cigarette to fall, only to see a man and a woman sitting in the front seat of the car, I was anxious all of a sudden.
