At night, after I had settled down, my grandfather and Aunt Sun were checking the account books for the past few days in the store. Zong Bao, who was laying on the floor, suddenly turned to me and said this to me.
I was stunned for a moment, still holding the paper in my hand, and glanced at Zong Bao: "You are free, why are you talking about this?"
Zong Bao sighed and turned back to spread the quilt: "I'm thinking that if I were you, I would go crazy. At least my parents are very good to me. Although I sometimes feel that my dad's nagging is very annoying.
He is quick-tongued and likes to offend people. My mother always quarrels with him, and my grandmother always turns to my father when they quarrel, but..." Zong Bao paused, turned to look at me and said, "They all love him very much.
I'm afraid of suffering."
I curled my lips and picked up the calculator with an indifferent look on my face and started calculating: "Zong Bao, you talk a lot lately."
Zong Bao sat on the quilt and looked at me eagerly: "Jiaolong, it would be better if you were an ordinary girl. If you marry Zhuo Jing, you will have someone to rely on and you won't be so tired."
I didn't answer, and I calculated the accounts seriously. In fact, Zong Bao really understood me. I really wanted to be an ordinary girl, get married, and have children. But if everything went so smoothly, I probably wouldn't.
It will look like this now...
Maybe, I won’t be brought back to the countryside by my grandma because of abnormal genitals, and my mother won’t hate me so much. I will truly treat An Qi as sisters and grow up together, and I won’t look like this because of endocrine disorders.
Gao, I should be carefree. Maybe I am still in college now, so everything will be different... Of course, the most important thing is that my character will never be as aggressive as it is now.
"Jiaolong, actually you don't have to be so strong in personality. I think it's better for you to treat yourself as a woman. Maybe Zhuo Jing is not suitable for you. In the future, you will meet a better one who can tolerate you, so that you won't be tired.
Already."
I let out a breath. I don’t know why Zong Bao suddenly became emotional. He was probably stimulated by my aunt. Such a selfish and weird person will definitely give you a 'surprise' every time we meet. I put down the calculator and looked at him.
: "God gave me half a woman's body probably because he hopes that I won't be too ruthless in my actions and always have a kind heart. And he also gave me half a man's body, so that I can live as strong as a man, otherwise
, how can we establish the world and be with others?"
As I said that, I took a breath gently and said, "Zong Bao, if I were an ordinary woman, then Zhuo Jing would naturally be my best destination, but I happen to be half a man, so I also have my own
Since love cannot touch my own ambition, in this life, I don’t care whether I am a boy or a girl. I only have one belief. No matter Lin Qiao or Ma Jiaolong, they are by no means a piece of gravel among all living beings. I will survive the calamity and suffer the hardship.
Swallow, I want this world to understand that since I survived, I can survive no matter how big the storm is. As long as I still have breath, I must let the world know that I am intersex, but I am definitely not
The Sangmenxing who should have been strangled to death twenty-two years ago."
Zong Bao looked at me blankly, and after a while he opened his mouth and said, "Is this why you want to be a big man? You actually want your family to recognize you."
I looked at him seriously: "No, I want everyone to know me clearly. I'm tired of hiding this identity. I don't think there's anything shameful about me being intersex."
.”
"Ahem!!"
Zong Bao suddenly choked twice on his own saliva, raised his hand and pointed at me: "Don't be impulsive about this. I understand your mentality, but it's not that time yet. Let's talk about it now.
At that time, there must be a bunch of people who don’t care about your identity as an Onmyoji, but only care about what an Onmyoji is!”
I gently twitched the corner of my mouth: "Of course I understand. I won't say it until the heat is on. Now the foundation of Onmyoji is not stable yet. Who knows who I am, and who cares whether I am a boy or a girl. I just want to
Let you know that my ambition is not limited to being a woman. Although I also want to pursue comfort, unfortunately, I am born with a contradiction. I have to let you know that your master is in this aspect of being a man.
, how passionate and ambitious he is.”
Zong Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead: "You scared me to death. I thought you were going to announce to the public that you are intersex. If I had known that I would not tell you this, I would still be so excited for you.
Okay, I’m so excited about what I’m saying, do you want me to croak for you?”
I laughed loudly and walked back to the front desk to continue to calculate the accounts: "Who told you to talk about this, don't lead me here next time, otherwise I will spend the whole night with you in vain."
Zong Bao smacked his lips twice and came over: "Hey, you know, if I were a woman like you just did, I would be tempted, your eyes are bright, very bright, and with this outfit
...Hey, have you ever thought that your good luck in love is just a reflection of your face?"
I raised my eyes and looked at him, and smiled softly: "It must be because of the Korean drama, otherwise I look so neither male nor female. According to the previous aesthetics, if I was a man, I would definitely be scolded.
Sissy or something."
Zong Bao actually made a sad look in his eyes, looked at me and sighed to himself: "Actually, I really want to try the feeling of being chased. Is it... really that annoying?"
I rolled my eyes at him and was about to open my mouth when I heard the sound of the rolling shutter door being opened. I immediately moved my chin to the door and said, "Hey, the person who always annoys you is here."
Zong Bao glanced at the door, and his expression instantly became numb. He stood upright and solemnly flipped through the purchase list next to me. His pretentious look really made my teeth tingle.
"Jiao Long? Zong Bao! You are back!!"
Wen Xiaoni stood at the door and glanced at me doubtfully. Then she shouted excitedly, closed the door and ran in. "Why are you still in the store so late?" As she said this, she saw it.
The bunks on the ground: "You guys have to stay here tonight!!"
I nodded: "I've been back during the day. I've been busy with things at home first. I've been living here recently, but why are you here so late?"
Wen Xiaoni sighed gloomily: "I'm bored at home, so I came out to get some air..." As she said that, her expression became excited again in an instant: "By the way, Jiaolong! Have you seen the bill?
, I sold a big deal two days ago. Did you see it or not? I didn’t even use the discount. You are such a rich man! I didn’t even tell you, so I just waited for you to come back and give you a surprise!"
"cough……"
Zong Bao, who had his head lowered and seemed to be flipping through the purchase list carelessly, suddenly opened his mouth: "Be careful, don't hit the muzzle of the gun and go up."
Wen Xiaoni was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong? Isn't this a good thing?"
I smiled and poked Zong Bao with my hand: "It's a good thing, you did a good job." Liu Zongbao really underestimated my courage. Now that this matter has passed, is it still interesting for me to pursue Xiaoni?
.
Wen Xiaoni was happy, "Yeah, it's a good thing. Making money is not a good thing."
As she said that, she moved closer to Zong Bao: "Zong Bao, what did you mean by what you said just now? Hey, look up at me. We haven't seen each other for how many days. You don't miss me. Hey.
, what’s so good about this purchase receipt!”
"You're annoying."
Zong Bao suddenly regained his aloofness. He was completely different from the sad and mean-spirited one who said I also want someone to chase me. I suppressed a smile and looked at him, who seemed to be annoyed by Xiao Ni.
Look, I thought to myself, maybe, this is Zong Bao's dual nature.
Seeing that Zong Bao ignored her, Wen Xiaoni pouted in frustration: "Huh, you ignored me and I won't ignore you anymore!" After saying that, she looked back at me: "Jiaolong, I saw you go up.
The newspaper said they were going to catch ghosts! Look, I’ve stuck that newspaper on the wall. Whenever customers come, I’ll show it to them. How majestic it is!”
I smiled and looked at Xiaoni: "I saw it as soon as I walked in. It was just half a face. Moreover, the report was not about me 'catching ghosts'. What they mainly praised was the responsible and wise decision of 'Happy World'"
, it’s better to tear it off.”
"I don't want it. I thought anyone could just put it in the newspaper, just leave it like a sign." Wen Xiaoni looked at me with a smile: "Then tomorrow I can call the customers who have made an appointment for you to come and look at the curtains.
Please call me, they know you have gone to the city these days and they keep calling the store to ask me when you will come back."
I frowned: "It's better not to fight tomorrow, I still have to go out, wait for me when I come back."
"Ah? I'm alone in the store again."
Wen Xiaoni muttered with a depressed face: "Jiaolong, it's very boring for me to have you all gone. It would be okay if there are customers, but when there are no customers, I don't even have anyone to talk to."
I patted her shoulder and looked at her apologetically: "Xiao Ni, thank you for your hard work, otherwise we will hire another salesperson. I may have more and more things in the future. I'm afraid of you alone."
You can’t bear it.”
Wen Xiaoni blinked twice and looked at me: "How about you ask Zong Bao to stay with me in the store?"
"no."
Before I could say anything, Zong Bao refused directly: "I am the second great god of Jiaolong. The purpose of my coming here is to help her, not to chat with you."
Wen Xiaoni rolled her eyes at him: "Then I don't think you are of any use. You don't know it at all. You have to rely on Jiaolong to see it. I can do odd jobs. I can also work for Jiaolong."
Great God!”
Zong Bao glanced at her lazily: "It's just you, forget it."
"Hey, what do you mean? You..."
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." These two people are the kind of people who find faults over nothing. If I didn't interrupt, they would have been arguing all night. After putting away the account book, I looked at
Xiaoni: "It's too late, why don't you go back?"
Wen Xiaoni immediately lost her momentum and lowered her eyes: "I don't want to go back, otherwise, I might as well live here."
"There are only two bunks, there is no room for you."
Wen Xiaoni rolled her eyes at Zong Bao and hugged my arm: "Why is there no room for me anymore? I live with Jiaolong!"
I cleared my throat and took Xiaoni's hand off her arm: "It's not convenient to share a bed with me..."
Wen Xiaoni immediately thought something was wrong, blushed, and bit her lip: "Then I'll sleep on the sofa!! I'm not going home anyway!"
I frowned slightly and looked at her: "Xiao Ni, did something happen at home?"
"It's okay." Wen Xiaoni said two words and went straight to the sofa to lie down. I felt something was wrong. She has always been a heartless person, but I really haven't seen her in the past two years.
He ran away from home and had to live in a store. He couldn't help but walk up to her and said, "What happened at your home? Tell the truth."
"Oh, it's okay."
Wen Xiaoni was so small that she could lie down curled up on the sofa. Seeing that I kept looking at her, she let out a sigh of helplessness: "My family forced me to go on a blind date, but I didn't want to go.
That’s all, okay, don’t ask me, just go to sleep!”
This is something. I then took a sneak look at Zong Bao, who was still trying to stay calm, and opened my mouth: "This is a good thing. Go and meet him. You can't stay single forever."
"What's there to see? Her boyfriend isn't you."
I snickered in my heart, Zong Bao had indeed fallen for the trick, and looked at him pretending to be nonchalant: "But Xiaoni's parents have seen me and know that I am a girl. It is understandable for parents to be anxious.
"
Zong Bao looked at me with a stiff face: "Everyone who goes on a blind date is crooked."
I laughed twice: "That's not necessarily the case. There are also those who are well-off and busy with their careers. They can only meet the opposite sex through blind dates. Xiaoni, I suggest you go and meet them."
"Oh, I don't see you. I like handsome girls, but I don't consider boys." Wen Xiaoni grunted on the sofa and replied, "Go to sleep, I get upset when you talk about this."
Zong Bao actually looked at me with a bit of pride and mouthed silently, "I like girls."
I'm not sure, and I don't know why he's so proud. Maybe he thinks it's unreliable that Xiaoni likes girls, or maybe he himself isn't sure whether his liking for Xiaoni is the kind of thing between a man and a woman.
, the most worrying person about this matter is Xiaoni. She is obviously very fond of Zong Bao, but she still says that she likes girls, but she doesn’t know what she means.
This is where the trouble lies with relationships. Now I see that they are quite anxious for them. I wish that one of them could pour a few bottles of beer into them now. One of them would not say that he likes a girl, and the other would not insist on it.
He said that he no longer has that feeling for Xiao Ni, and the two of them agreed directly. But if I really do that, people may not appreciate it. In fact, everyone is thinking that it will happen naturally. You are done testing, let me test. I always feel
Emotional matters become sour as soon as they become urgent, but looking back, I think they both feel noisy now. If others look at me and Zhuo Jing, I will either go crazy.
Alas, the easiest way to 'break' a person is probably to let him fall into the whirlpool of emotions. This will ensure that even smart people will be trapped in the trap, and their IQ will be in arrears and their EQ will be reduced to zero.
In the morning, the three of us ordered another item in the store. After everything was sorted out, I started driving to the small town where my cousin lives. With navigation and positioning, we wouldn’t get lost, but the dirt roads along the way were very special.
Yes, I really feel that my little Jetta is not an ordinary car. If a good car is driven like this, my heart will bleed.
Zong Bao fell asleep due to the long ride in the car, and I was so sleepy that I yawned. We drove for more than five hours before we arrived at the entrance to the village where my cousin lived. Zong Bao wanted to get off the car and go to the public toilet at the end of the field.
As soon as I opened the car door and got out of the car, I instantly felt like my legs were behind me. When the breeze blew, it was not ordinary numbness.
Looking back at the road I was looking at, I was inexplicably reminded of the scene where my cousin drove me and Zhuo Jing over on a tractor. I sighed and leaned against the car, not wanting to let myself have too many seemingly sad feelings.
Reminiscing, when I looked up, the clouds were surging slightly, and my heart tightened, something was wrong today!
"Jiaolong, I'm done, let's go."
I looked up at the sky: "Zong Bao, look what's wrong with the sky."
"Ah?" Zong Bao then raised his head and looked up: "One side is gloomy and the other side is moody. This is a common thing. There is no shelter in the countryside, so you can see farther. There must be clouds with rain on the gloomy side. After it rains
Enough."
I shook my head and muttered softly: "No, the clouds are light and the wind is light here, but it's gloomy and gloomy over there. It's not just a few clouds with rain. I feel like there is something."
Things are about to move... Wait for me for a while, I will use the copper coins to make a fortune..."
"Jiaolong, oh my god, is it Jiaolong!!!"
I paused when I went to get the copper coins, turned around, and saw my cousin standing not far away looking at me with excitement: "Jiaolong! What a Jiaolong! Oh my god, you have finally arrived.
!!!”
As he said that, several cousins ran over and took my hand: "Oh, I just looked at it for a long time and didn't dare to recognize it. Jiaolong, why are you dressed like a young man now?"
, Oops, this spirit, I saw you just when I was about to call you, it’s so nice, let’s go for a walk and have a meal!!”
My cousin was still as enthusiastic as ever. I looked at him and nodded with a smile: "Okay, cousin, please get in the car. I will drive you directly." After saying that, I quickly introduced Zong Bao: "That's right.
Cousin, this is my friend, Zong Bao."
"Hey, Zong Bao, that's a nice name. You get in the car first, you get in the car first." My cousin responded with a smile. He watched Zong Bao sit in the car and then stretched out his hand to pull me to the side, with a nervous look on his face.
He spoke in a low voice: "Jiaolong, you have changed your partner. What about Xiao Zhuo? He is no match for Xiao Zhuo in terms of size and appearance."
I smiled helplessly: "Cousin, Zong Bao is not my partner, he is my friend, my brother and my assistant at work."
"Oh." My cousin breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at me: "You scared me to death. It's okay if we are just ordinary friends. If this is the person, I think it's Xiao Zhuo's long eye, so why doesn't Xiao Zhuo?
Come on, it's been two years. Has he come back from abroad? You two are going to get married soon."
I smiled awkwardly and looked at my cousin: "Actually, he and I have broken up..."
"What!!"
My cousin actually got anxious: "How can we break up? Is there any scorer that I can't explain? What a good young man that is, where can I find it? Oh my, you look like a dragon or a phoenix among men!"
Jiaolong, are you a tiger? How can we break up when we are about to get married?"
I smiled helplessly: "Cousin, let's not talk about this matter, okay? His conditions are indeed very good, but the gap between us is really too big and it's not suitable. I'm here to join in Xiaotao's fun.
, please don’t mention this matter, okay.”
My cousin looked at me incomprehensively, and walked directly to the car with his hands behind his back, shaking his head as he walked: "I just don't understand, it was clearly about getting married that time, so what?
They broke up even after they arrived! Oh my! I’m really worried to death!”
My reaction to my cousin was a bit dumbfounding. I didn't expect him to have such a big reaction to my breakup with Zhuo Jing. However, seeing my cousin like this, I couldn't help but feel disappointed and it was all fake.
The 'eating banquet' my cousin refers to refers to the running-water banquet in rural areas. Because getting married is a big event in rural areas, the host usually prepares running-water banquets a day in advance for distant relatives and neighbors who come from other villages to attend the wedding.
, that is, when the people at the table have finished eating, the leftovers will be removed and new dishes will be served on the next table to ensure that every guest who comes to congratulate them can have a meal and will not be neglected because the host is too busy.
When I took my cousin to my second aunt's house, the yard of my second aunt's house was full of big round folding tables. The one in Wuyang Wuyang was full of people sitting at one table after another.
Jiao also built several simple stoves with yellow clay. There were two long tables next to them, which were all filled with chicken, duck and fish. Four or five people were sweating profusely with shovels as big as small spades.
Busy cooking, this kind of scene is quite friendly to me. I remember that I could only feel this atmosphere when I was a child when my grandma took me to a banquet.
The second aunt and the second uncle were still chatting in the yard, their voices were hoarse. I looked around, but I couldn't find Xiao Ke's shadow. Their family was actually getting married to relatives, so he wasn't coming back?
My cousin led me inside and shouted loudly: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, Jiaolong is here!!"
The second aunt looked over immediately, with a look of excitement on her face, and hurried over to hold my hand, saying, "Jiaolong, you're finally here!"
I looked at my second aunt with a smile: "It's only right that I come. This is a happy event."
The second aunt's voice was no longer good, but she turned her head and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet! Everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Ma from the city! My family
Xiao Tao’s eyes were chosen by her, which is amazing!! She is a great benefactor to our family! Everyone has to help me take care of it!!"
The villagers immediately became enthusiastic and rushed towards me with wine glasses in hand. I was instantly confused. I don’t know how to behave when drinking. Then Zong Bao and I were arranged by our cousin to sit down at a table and help
My cousin who was busy with work also came up to me. She had gained a lot of weight and looked very good. But there were so many people talking to me that I couldn't take care of it. Then I watched Zong Bao take the food from others in a daze.
After one glass of wine, my face turned as red as a monkey’s butt.
I vaguely remember meeting some of these villagers, and I have no memory of others at all, but they all feel like I have known you for a long time. They are not polite at all. My cousin sitting next to me also smiled boldly: "
Jiaolong, you can eat and drink as much as you want today, and we can still have a lively day tomorrow. Come on, drink! Don’t be afraid if you drink too much. If you drink too much, just go to your cousin’s house and take a nap. The place will be taken care of for you.
You’re welcome, come out and drink!”
I knew I didn't have the capacity to drink, so I didn't really want to drink at first, but my cousins were too enthusiastic and I couldn't refuse. After two cups of yellow soup, I felt like my intestines were on fire, but I was inexplicably excited.
When I looked at my cousin, I started to giggle. I didn’t know how to do it. I just laughed. Everyone felt so friendly. I didn’t refuse when they offered me a drink. After a while, I was tongue-tied because of the drink.
, I can’t find the east, west, north, and south.
When it got dark, people around me began to leave one after another. Zong Bao was lying on the table unconscious at this time. Xiao Tao also came over, pulled up a chair and sat next to me, insisting on accompanying me.
He drank a few drinks with me, but he was a little shy and didn't talk much. My cousin drank fiercely and had no rivals, so he drank by himself, just to have fun. After a while, his face turned black and red from drinking.
, he was a little excited as he spoke: "Jiaolong, don't look at your cousin, I have known you for just two days, but my cousin thinks you are amazing. At such a young age, you have figured out Liping's
Things, there are also things about Xiao Tao, yes, and... there are also things about Lao Mao's family. You are sure to say it right. My cousin really admires you, but how can you tell me
Xiaozhuo has broken up, which my cousin never expected! You are not sure about the fact that your child is so clever!"
Although I was drunk, I still understood in my heart. I looked at my cousin and smiled: "Cousin, we have agreed, no, we will not talk about this. Come on, Xiaotao, I will toast you and wish you the best."
Your wife and I have been in perfect harmony for a hundred years!"
My cousin looked at us and drank a drink with him, and then continued: "Jiaolong, my cousin tells you the truth, when you looked at Xiao Tao's eyes, it turned out that this guy, my nephew, was
I caught my eye..."
"Uncle Third, why are you talking about this!" Xiao Tao's face immediately turned red: "That happened a long time ago!"
My cousin waved his hand: "It's okay. What are you afraid of now? You already have a wife." After saying that, my cousin looked at me and said, "It's useless for him to fall in love with you. I told him at the time that I
Tell me, have you seen that Xiao Zhuo? She is called a golden boy and beautiful girl. Can you compare with Xiao Zhuo? He is so big and looks so good. He is still studying abroad. No one can compare with him. Jiao Long, my cousin.
I feel like you are a golden phoenix. You and Xiao Zhuo are paired together, so how can you become an adult? Well, you tell your cousin, and he will cut it off for you and see if you can save it!!"
Maybe I drank too much. People who drink too much are more fragile. I don’t know if it was my cousin’s words that touched my heart. I felt very uncomfortable immediately. I looked at my cousin who was still trying to hold on to a smile.
: "It can't be saved, cousin, let's not talk about this. Let's talk happily on Xiaotao's happy day."
"No!" My cousin was anxious: "I have to figure this out today. Do you have Xiaozhuo's phone number? I'll call him. If you don't tell me, I'll go find him and ask. I'll ask him.
I understand, what’s going on!”
I looked at my cousin's face and shook my head: "Cousin! I'm angry if you keep talking about this. I don't know his phone number!!"
My cousin looked at me and suddenly laughed: "Hey, I have it. I remember Xiaozhuo gave me his phone number and asked me to go to the city to find him and call him. He didn't change his number? I asked him.
Ask him what's going on, how come we've been drinking together, he won't tell me the truth, hey, where's my cell phone, Tao, where's my cell phone..."
"Third uncle, you drank too much. Don't get involved in other people's affairs." Xiao Tao was advising his cousin from the side, with a look of helplessness on his face, "You can easily do a disservice."
I stood up unsteadily while holding on to the table, feeling a little anxious to urinate: "Cousin, you really don't have to worry about this, we have been separated for a long time." After saying that, I looked at Xiao Tao: "Toilet.
Where is it?"
Xiao Tao then pointed to the gate: "It's right next to the gate, in that small room."
I nodded, turned around and was about to walk there, but my steps suddenly stopped. I squinted my eyes and looked carefully at the person walking out from beside me. In an instant, I felt as if I had woken up from the wine: "Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao
.”
"What's wrong? I'm confused." Xiao Tao immediately came over and held my arm, "I'll help you to the bathroom door."
"No." I shook my head and pointed to the door of the yard: "Who went out? Do you know that person?"
Xiaotao was startled, looking at my finger and looking out into the yard: "It seems to be my fourth aunt, what's wrong?"
"Is she alive?"
I turned to look at Xiaotao: "Is she alive?"
"She's alive and well." Xiao Tao was confused by what I said: "She had some food here just now."
I lowered my eyes. Isn't this something evil? If my feeling is correct, then I just felt a clear smell of corpse gas. It is obviously the smell of dead people, and they have been dead for a while. How can I still be a big person?
Where are the living people?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard my cousin's voice from behind: "Hey! Xiaozhuo! I'm your cousin!"
My body was shaking! I was so frightened that I woke up from drinking. What happened? My cousin really called Zhuo Jing. Oh my god, this would be such a shame!
"Cousin!" I looked back at my cousin anxiously, "Cousin, hang up now!"
My cousin ignored me, put the phone to his ear and kept saying: "Ah, don't speak English to me. I can't understand you even if you speak English to me. I just want to ask you what's going on with Jiaolong."
Son! Well, why should we part ways? Who is this woman?"
I was so anxious that I stepped forward and took my cousin's cell phone, "Cousin!!"
The voice from the phone made me cry instantly, 'sorry! thesubscriberyoudialedcannotbeconnected... I'm sorry, the user you dialed cannot be connected at the moment, please try again later...'
Cousin, I’m really convinced. You’re so scary when you’re drunk! (To be continued)
