It was a roar, and I was startled.

Silence ensued, and there was a knock at the door.

", didn't you say you wouldn't come over for anything?" Mr. Wang shouted.

。。。

After a moment of silence, Mr. Wang sat on the seat next to him, held his forehead and said, "Do you listen to the story?" ”

"Okay." I said lightly.

"Please don't bring any emotion into it, listen to this story. It was more than 20 years ago, a girl had just graduated from college and was interning at a company, and there was a motivated boy in the group. I won't say the name, it's not bad. At that time, they established a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, but at that time the company did not allow them to fall into a relationship. This is an underground romance, and if you know about it, you will be expelled. It was one of the better companies in the city, and it also had a whole floor of offices in the bustling part of the city. ”

"Motivated boy, not my dad? That was before my dad? I said.

"Don't talk when you're listening, that boy looks like a gentleman. I can think very much in my head, but the conditions at home are not very good. The same is true for girls, the girl's family is the fifth child in the family, and there is a younger brother, two older brothers and an older sister in the family. ”

"Rhubarb Village?" I said.

"Originally, the girl didn't have the opportunity to go to college, and it was her fate to marry someone from the next door at the age of fifteen or sixteen. The two brothers often bullied her, but fortunately, one of the sisters in the family liked her very much. Ken used the money from her part-time job to raise her to college, and she worked hard to successfully complete college. ”

I nodded, not interjecting.

There seems to be more to it than there is, at least now the story is much more detailed than Dad's.

"It was his first year on the job, and the boy was working on a project. I stayed up all night and did everything, and went to the other company's company to talk. At that time, the call was returned to the company, and other colleagues received the call. I knew that the contracts and documents that had been done overnight had been forgotten in the company, and there was a little mistake at that time, so I changed the parameters overnight. After the parameters were changed, I forgot to put it back in the bag, and woke up early in the morning and went out with the document bag. When I found out that it was half an hour before the start of the meeting, the company thought that the list was going to be yellow, and only the girl took the document and went downstairs to deliver it. ”

"Hmm." I said.

"In those days, I used to go out by bicycle, and I didn't even dare to think about buses, let alone talk about taxis. But what can be done to deliver it in half an hour? The girl could only take a taxi and meet another man. The girl explained that the documents would be delivered within half an hour, and the driver directly charged a hundred and one trips, saying that the road was blocked like this. Other drivers may not go out in one or two hours on the same route, and the driver said that he should be able to go in 30 minutes. Anyway, if it is less than thirty minutes, it will not be charged, and when it comes to one hundred. The documents had to be delivered, so the girl agreed. The girl didn't have any money, thinking that there would definitely be a bonus when the contract came down. A hundred dollars in front of the prize money is a trivial matter, so the girl left her name and address. Saying that he would give money after the matter was completed, the driver drove the car and turned around, and arrived at the other party's company within half an hour. But alas, the meeting was brought forward. The other party saw that the document bag was empty and turned around and left, without giving any chance. In those days, time was money, and no one wanted to wait. ”

Mr. Wang said this, taking out the lighter and cigarette in his pocket.

The smoke is fine smoke, and the lighter is an iron lighter of that kerosene.
