Doomed Destiny - C72
Er Nengdan’s face was gloomy. Without saying a word, he opened the window a little and lit up a cigarette. The stench of smoke filled the carriage, more or less masking the unpleasant odor of spittle. I was afraid that Xiao Jun would call me cold again, and I would hug his small body tightly in my embrace to keep him warm.
Xiao Jun looked at me with moved but also trust and reliance.
“This woman, why are you spouting nonsense!?” He had wasted all the food he had eaten. It even dirtied our Egg’s car! ” Da Laozhu scolded his wife with a stern face. Scratching the vomit with his hand, he picked it up and threw it through the window.
This time, I think Da Laozhu is very sensible. He wasn’t even letting out a fart.
Seeing Chao Xixi holding onto her forehead with one hand and clenching her fist with the other, her face was extremely ugly, her brows were tightly knitted together. I couldn’t bear it anymore so I said, “Second Brother, close the window! A human’s headache is getting worse from the cold wind! ”
San Geda asked: “Er Xiao, have you heard of mice eating feces?”
“I’ve never heard of mice eating shit!” Er Nengdan closed the window.
Chao Xixi looked up at me, her eyes filled with gratitude and a little bashful.
The San Geda said, “That blind Great-grandma of yours is full of sh * t. Rats, eat them all!”
“Why would a mouse eat her shit? What’s so different about her shit? ” Er Nengdan asked.
“How would I know!?” I’ve never tasted it! Mouse is delicious, then what can you do! However, I went to see your blind Great-grandma’s house this morning. I saw a large group of dead rats in her house’s courtyard. The dead rat was discharged from the latrine. “I’m counting the number of dead rats in the latrine!” The San Geda said.
“What’s going on? How come all the rats are dead? ” Er Nengdan frowned.
“He died from eating shit! Yesterday, your blind Great-grandma ate an egg roll at your house, didn’t his stomach hurt! When I got home, I would squat in the latrine and grumble, and grunt so loudly that I could be heard from the outside. She said she was bleeding! That shit was poisonous! “So many rats were poisoned to death!” The San Geda said.
“Third Uncle, what do you mean? You mean she ate my omelet and the shit she pulled out was poisonous! Isn’t this the same as saying that my egg roll is poisonous!? Xiao Jun, who is only such a young child, is fine after eating it! ” Er Nengdan was angry.
“It’s not like I said your egg roll was poisonous! Your blind Great-grandma didn’t say anything! What are you so anxious for! Maybe it was because she had pulled out the old excrement that she had accumulated over the years. It was the same with the old wine, but it contained too much strength. “This is killing the mice!” The San Geda analyzed.
My heart was already in turmoil. I didn’t expect such a toxic rat drug. He really didn’t kill a Blind Old Woman with medicine.
What kind of person was she?
Could she still be considered human?
The car arrived in town. San Geda took the new couple to buy some oranges. Because Chao Xixi was pregnant and wanted to eat sour orange. Er Nengdan brought me and Xiao Jun into an alley, and there were gate markets on both sides of the alley. She found a clothing store and sneaked into it. Picking and trying for a long time, but I don’t wear the right clothes. Because I’m way too tall.
In the eighties, when there was a lack of material and nutrition, a man was a big man when he grew up to 1.7 meters. “With my height of 1.97 meters, I’m a giant here.
After visiting several clothing stores in a row, I couldn’t find a suitable outfit to wear.
Er Nengdan’s face drooped so low that he could not even look at it anymore, although he did not say anything. But I kept blaming myself and feeling very uneasy. Why do you want me to grow up so tall, why not be short and vigorous? Eat the same food, the body growth is short and small is the essence of concentration. I was envious of the little people coming and going in the street, their eyes wide and shrewd.
“There aren’t any suitable clothes, let’s buy shoes first!” Er Nengdan said.
So he went into the shoe store to pick out his shoes. There’s still nothing I can wear. My feet were a good fifty yards in proportion to my size. In the eighties or the twenty-first century, normal men had feet of thirty-eight to forty-four yards.
Er Nengdan could not hold it in and complained: “Look, look! What are you eating! There’s a big difference between us burning in the same kiln. This is where I get to your arm. It’s good to have a standard height. What’s the use of a big guy like you! We don’t have dates in our family! ”
I say, you haven’t seen Yao Ming yet!
He asked Yao Ming who he was.
I didn’t say anything more.
After walking around a few rounds, he met San Geda and the rest. San Geda asked if we bought any new clothes. Er Nengdan said no, he could wear this ass no matter where he went. San Geda said go to the tailor shop and let them do it. Er Nengdan said that he was in a hurry to dress in the afternoon, would it be finished in a short amount of time?
San Geda thought about it and said I have a way.
Er Nengdan asked what method he thought.
San Geda said, “You buy the largest number of ready-made clothes, and when you go to the tailor shop to pick up his sleeves, won’t the pants be finished?”
Er Nengdan’s taut face relaxed, and he said: “Third Uncle, your brain is good! Think of such a good method! “Alright, let’s buy the largest number of clothes first!”
They strolled around for a long time. He bought me a large army jacket. He could wear it in the middle and tie it to cover his waist. But the sleeves on either side were too short, and my arms were straight, at least bare. Half. He also bought a pair of thick suit pants. The pants were about the size of a waist, but it looked like summer breeches. His feet and neck were clean, and when he squatted down, his knees could be seen. Even the owner of the clothes was smiling while covering his mouth.
Da Laozhu suddenly asked me: “Brother, you are so tall. “Then how long are your grasshoppers?”
I put on a straight face and said why are you asking and what does it have to do with you.
Da Laozhu said, “Happy to say that my grasshopper is very big and long, making her feel uncomfortable. “Let me see if yours is as long as mine!”
Chao Xixi was so embarrassed that sher face was flushed red, she spat on the ground fiercely and cursed at her lack of stock. Lowering her head, he didn’t dare to meet anyone.
The San Geda angrily bared his teeth, jumped up and kicked Da Laozhu, saying, “Do you still owe me? If you still owe me, scram, I won’t lose face to you!”
The few of us arrived at the tailor shop. Let the tailor to the new clothes to connect the sleeves and trousers, must match the color, this is a blind date. The tailor said to leave the clothes here and pick them up in two days. Er Nengdan said he was anxious to wear it in the afternoon. The tailor said he couldn’t do it that fast. Er Nengdan asked how much it was. The tailor said that the jacket and trousers were sewn together to get two and a half. Er Nengdan immediately took out 20 yuan and said that he was in a hurry to wear it in the afternoon.
The tailor quickly nodded and said yes, you can sit here and wait. I’ll make it for you in an hour.
San Geda put his hands into his sleeves, as if he did not dare look at the twenty dollars. However, he could not help but look sideways, as his teeth ached.
Er Nengdan said: “What do you mean random flowers! “How can flowers on my brother be called random flowers!”
As the tailor busied himself, he gave a thumbs-up and said, “This brother is great! It was his first time seeing a brother who was so good to his brother! A few days ago, I got my third brother to beat me up just because I was fighting over a chair with my parents! ”
After getting dressed, Er Nengdan drove the few of us back home.
Two in the afternoon. I had dressed and eaten. Er Nengdan, Xiao Jun and the matchmaker drove to Wang Zhai Village.
The jeep was the most conspicuous place to go. As soon as the car stopped, many villagers surrounded it, not only because of its rarity to cars, but also because of its rarity to me. Because they all knew that I was here to see the village girl. He heard someone say, “Man, isn’t this a giant? It should be around two meters long! ”
Someone said, “It’s too high! To make clothes! Thin! “She’s pretty good-looking!”
There were also women who said, “It’s higher, men are taller than grasshoppers!”
“Are you a pig? What do you want to do with a giant grasshopper? The grasshoppers from your family are not enough for you? ” Someone mocked.
An old man with a head full of white hair who was walking around seemed to be very angry. A large body did not mean that it was a grasshopper! If you want to look at the nose, you have to look at the nose to see how big a grasshopper it is! ” The others looked around and pointed at the old man and said, “Yo, there are so many of you and your nose is the biggest! Take off your pants and let us take a look! ” The old man smiled and raised his staff to strike the man.
We entered a courtyard with no walls or gates. The courtyard was surrounded by bundles of corn stalks. He had three mud houses. After exchanging a few pleasantries with a middle-aged patched up couple, the matchmaker pointed at me and said, “This good man is the one who likes your daughter!”
The middle-aged couple hid their hands in each other’s sleeves of their cotton-padded jackets and sized me up with a sidelong glance. They didn’t seem to be satisfied with what they saw. The woman whispered, “This guy is too tall. He has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and looks like he has a hemp. He doesn’t have any good fortune!”
The middle-aged man complained, “I told you to find a fat person! Find a monkey for me again! Look at those clothes. The original sleeves and trousers were not enough. They were sewn up later. It will be troublesome to change clothes in the future! ”
Er Nengdan looked at me, and then waved the car key on his finger. Originally, he had been holding a cigarette in his mouth, saying that this cigarette was finished. He took out a bunch of bills, spread them on the ground and bent down to pick them up.
I noticed that the middle-aged couple’s eyes were glued to the floor as they looked at the ten pieces of green bills scattered all over the floor.
The matchmaker is even more observant than I am, she pointed at Er Nengdan who was bending down to pick up the money, curled his lips and said: “This is his second brother! Only 20 years old and a county official! Do you see that big car on the street? It’s worth five thousand! ”
Er Nengdan spat out the cigarette in his mouth, raised his head and said: “What can 5,000 people buy! He couldn’t even buy a wheel! Let’s not talk about how much the car is, I’m afraid it will scare you! After the new year, I put my brother to work in the county government, put him in a red brick house, and buy him a motorcycle ride! He was definitely not bragging! Whoever is bragging will have their entire family die! ”
His words were fierce and convincing. Then, he looked at what Er Nengdan was wearing. Most rural people did not have his temperament.
The middle-aged couple bit each other’s ears for a moment. A smile appeared on their faces. He then said to the matchmaker: “My family’s Xia Lu is in the west wing, let the young lad take a look. If the two of them are going to fall for each other, as an adult, what can we say?
Hearing the two words “Xia Lu”. My heart ached again. He could not help but think of his deceased lover, Xu Xiaru. Both names had the word “Xia” in them.
Before I entered the West Room, I had already decided that no matter how beautiful this girl was, I would reject her. What was the purpose of my teleportation? He definitely could not do anything to let Xu Xia Ru down.
I strode into the West Room. A girl was sitting on the edge of the bed with her head lowered. She was rubbing her clothes shyly. His short hair hung down, obscuring her face.
But her figure and the aura she exuded shocked me. There was one kind of person you didn’t need to look at their face to know that they were definitely very good-looking just by looking at their bodies and the temperament they emitted.
After pausing for a moment in the awkward atmosphere, I deliberately coughed. The girl slowly raised her head and pushed her hair back with her hands, revealing her face.
Suddenly I felt as if I had been struck by lightning. His entire body became dumbstruck.
Her face looked too similar to Xu Xiaru’s. On closer look, I even felt that her face was much more exquisite than Xu Xiaru’s, and her temperament was even more refined than Xu Xiaru’s.
Don’t think how much you love someone. When you see someone who looks better than he or she does, you realize that you don’t really love the original one.
