Shi Genxiang is thirty-six this year and a well-known old bachelor in Hongyu Village, Wuyuan.

He went out to work when he was young, and came back when his parents passed away a few years ago. At that time, he was not a human being as he said on the phone. Instead, he came back like other migrant workers and took over the groceries at their doorstep.

store.

Generally speaking, young people in rural areas get married very early, and those who go out after studying will not go back to their hometown to find a wife.

Therefore, Shi Genxiang, who is nearly thirty years old, cannot find a wife in his hometown.

Several years have passed, and now at Bensi's age, he is still alone. One person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. But to be honest, what old bachelor doesn't want to have a wife? He can't leave no matter what he says today.

"What about that, Brother Chen, let's eat first."

Chen Xing licked his lips and sat down calmly.

He also figured it out. Anyway, he came in with Brother Xiang. Brother Xiang gave him a gift. No one could say anything wrong with bringing someone to the wedding. And it’s not like he didn’t get paid, one hundred euros, seven hundred euros.

More Chinese coins.

Even if Brother Xiang can't use it, the value is there, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Eat what you have to eat.

When Chen Xing sat down, the table that originally had only the three of them was quickly filled up.

Aunt Li was very kind and asked Chen Xing in a gentle tone: "Xiao Chen, where is your family from?"

"Sichuan Province."

"It's a great place with outstanding people. How old are you?"

"20."

The aunts on the table immediately started talking, and the little girls also secretly looked at Chen Xing. He is a good age. It doesn't matter if we date for a few years or get married directly. Then in two years, we will have a man who is one-third of his size.

Handsome little guy.

So beautiful!

Although Chen Xing is young, he also knows what they are thinking. He and Brother Xiang are the only two men at the table of ten.

But I just came here to eat, so don’t be afraid, just eat and leave.

Two years ago, Chen Xing was definitely not suitable for this kind of situation, but traveling alone is the best thing to temper a person's character. Now Chen Xing is much more courageous and shameless than before.

While dealing with the inquiries from the aunties, I waited for the food to be served.

The serving of food here is different from that in Sichuan Province. They serve a few cold dishes first, and then slowly serve the hot dishes. In the past, chopsticks were given earlier, but now they don't give out chopsticks until half of the dishes are served.

.

As for this village, I don’t know if it’s an example in Jiangxi. Anyway, they were given bowls and chopsticks first, and then the other dishes were served one by one.

Before the second dish was served, the first dish was almost eaten.

It's okay for them here. There are a few aunts who are very interested in Chen Xing, and then there are four very young girls who look to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. In front of Chen Xing, they are as gentle as Lin Daiyu, and they don't even eat.

Eat it in small bites.

The other tables have almost finished this dish.

The key point is that it tastes pretty good.

This is a fried noodle dish, with meat and red pepper strips and green pepper strips added in. It tastes very good and is beautifully presented on the plate. It makes a fried noodle dish that only sells for a dozen yuan outside look like it costs thirty yuan.

Looks like.

Next is a pigeon soup, with two pigeons in it. Chinese medicinal materials are added to the soup. The meat tastes average, but the taste of the soup is really amazing.

Then there was a mutton dish that I don’t know whether it was fried or grilled.

The soup is red, and the mutton emerges from the soup, with very finely chopped red fresh chili peppers on top.

The chili peppers in Jiangxi are not domestically produced chili peppers. Last time Chen Xing asked, it seems that they are imported from India or Vietnam. Anyway, they are very spicy.

However, this mutton dish also looks spicy, but tastes okay.

After some of Chen Xing's friends found out that he was here, they also told him that the food in Jiangxi was spicy and salty. Chen Xing could feel the spiciness, but it was not salty.

There is still some distance between Yuzhang and Wuyuan, so it is normal for food tastes to change.

The atmosphere during the meal was particularly lively. The whole wedding scene was noisy and full of laughter and laughter. The children ate very quickly and ran around with their friends after eating. There were also big yellow dogs raised in the countryside wandering around.

Chen Xing likes this kind of dog very much and feels that it is more spiritual than other dogs.

He brought the eaten pigeon bones to the big yellow dog's mouth, and it took a few steps back, wagging its tail and letting Chen Xing throw the things to the ground.

Chen Xing threw it on the ground and patted the dog's head after he came over.

"So good!"

Brother Xiang was asking about the blind date with Aunt Li. Aunt Li was not very patient and said, "Do you want someone who is divorced and has children? You know Xiaohua. She is pretty and the child is four years old. He is a boy."

When he heard that he was divorced, Brother Xiang's eyes immediately lost their luster, but he seemed to be thinking about it.

What else is there to find fault with?

He knew that the man's appearance was indeed good-looking. He came back from the city with his children and seemed to want to do some business in his hometown. After all, their place was very close to many scenic spots in Wuyuan, and tourists came here for a long time.

"Let me think about it."

"Then you have to think quickly. If you don't protect everything, others will take a fancy to you. Where will it be your turn?"

Because they are relatives, Aunt Li is not very polite.

Shi Genxiang's expression was helpless and calm. He closed his eyes and said, "Okay, please help me."

Then he sighed and said to Chen Xing: "Then you eat first, and I'll open the shop first when I get back."

Chen Xing had already finished eating, so he stood up and said, "Let me go with you."

Shi Genxiang needs time to calm down because his mood is very complicated now. Chen Xing just thinks it's too noisy here and has long wanted to find a chance to escape. Now he finally waited until Shi Genxiang took the initiative to leave.

"Brother, are you leaving now?"

"Can we chat for a while?"

Chen Xing smiled and said: "Next time, next time." Then he followed Brother Xiang with his bag.

Shi Genxiang didn't speak all the way. When he returned to the shop downstairs, he closed the door and started smoking. There was no sunlight outside, so the small shop was pitch dark. Chen Xing put his travel bag on a chair in the dark and turned on the light.<

/p>

Looking back at Shi Genxiang, Chen Xing's pupils shrank.

Brother Xiang was still smoking there, but tears were streaming down his face. In less than a minute, his tears were dripping on his pants.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Xing asked.

"What?"

"You're crying."

Brother Xiang was a little confused and said, "Really?" and then touched his face.

Chen Xing is right.

I am crying.

Then he held his face with both hands and said angrily:

"Are you seeing a joke? I just feel like I've failed a bit in life. I know the woman she's talking about, and she's doing that business outside. I really don't want to have anything to do with her, but I can't help it. I've been there for two years.

I’m almost forty years old.”

Chen Xing didn't know how to comfort someone, so he thought about it from his perspective, then went over and patted him on the back.

If you put yourself in someone else’s shoes...

Chen Xing wouldn't be in such a hurry. Even if he didn't look like him now, he wouldn't be anxious about getting married.

He knows many people and has many friends.

But among them, it can only be said that there are very few who live particularly happily after marriage.

As travelers go to more places and see more things, they tend to have an indifferent attitude towards many things, including getting married.

What he thinks is that he must wait until the person he is destined to be in life, and he will not get married before that.

There are no specific requirements for people who are destined in life?

Chen Xing himself doesn’t even know what she looks like.

But he believed that once he met, he should know.

This is his view of love.

Brother Xiang sighed and said, "You probably can't understand me. Those little girls are almost attached to you." He looked at his cigarette case, took out a cigarette from it, and said, "You smoke.

?"

"Don't smoke."

Chen Xing looked at his cigarette case and saw that it was a pack of Lushan, the same kind of cigarettes that Aunt Zhang smoked.
