That's how I set my sights on the girls in the village.
However, after going several times, I still couldn't find one that suited my taste.
When I told Wang Shouren about this problem, he was so happy he slapped his thigh. He asked me what type I was looking for.
I said that with my current income, I don't need a city girl, but a country girl should at least be pretty, like my sister-in-law.
Hey, I got slapped for just saying that. That bastard really hit me hard.
My sister-in-law is from the countryside, we know that, but she's really beautiful. In Yuan Li's words, she has big, bright eyes and a very elegant demeanor. (Look at that little phrase, it sounds like she's not very cultured.)
It wasn't a slap for nothing.
That grandson told me that there was no woman in the village who was beautiful in my eyes.
I was initially unconvinced.
But what he said next made sense to me. He told me that everyone knows what life is like in the countryside these days. What girl doesn't work under the scorching sun? And when she gets home, she still has to help with this and that. She's constantly on the go, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. How can you expect her skin to be radiant and her eyes bright and sparkling?
If such a woman truly exists, she wouldn't be a rural woman; she'd be a celestial being.
Hey, I should say it, but it makes a lot of sense.
He told me that women are like flowers; you have to take the time to nurture them. A woman who has become a flower will not look at me.
The words may be rough, but the meaning is sound. These were said by Yuan Li, and I slapped him when he said them. I felt much better afterward.
He told us that we should choose better flower buds, and then use snow cream, toad oil, and feed them meat. As long as our facial features aren't bad, they'll become very beautiful sooner or later. It all depends on us.
I think he makes a good point.
After discussing it with the three brothers, we went to the countryside as a group.
No one made things difficult for us when we went to the neighborhood office to get a certificate. After all, I'm already this age. If they still made things difficult for me, that would be a matter of life and death.
Later, life did indeed turn out exactly as Wang Shouren had predicted, and we were all convinced of his abilities; this guy was truly remarkable. However, as time went on, we all started to get a little bored.
Yes, it is indeed a bit boring.
I've made money, but I can't seem to spend it.
To be honest, guys, even if we eat the absolute best, it only costs a few dollars a day. (Because we have our own connections, we don't need coupons for some things.)
With more and more money in my hands, I don't know where to put it or what to do with it.
During that period, we all felt that life was a bit boring. Staying at home to have children, we became more and more decadent.
Later, Wang Shouren came to visit us.
He asked us if we wanted something more exciting.
Of course we think about it; life these days is so dull and boring.
He asked us which direction we thought the country would take next.
How would I know? Here, apart from Xiao Li who had some education and my father who had some education, I didn't have the opportunity to study. Mainly, at that time, I didn't want to study either.
Then he told us a lot.
I don't remember anything else about opening up or anything else.
I only remember one sentence he told me: he wanted to lead us to earn money from foreigners and bring glory to our country. That one sentence alone convinced both Fatty and me!
Bringing glory to the country?!
People like us can do it too!
To be honest, Fatty and I both dreamed of joining the army when we were kids. We both felt that we were just born at the wrong time; otherwise, we would have really fought those Japanese devils with real swords and spears. Those damned Japanese devils would have been torn to pieces, and we would have cursed their ancestors for eighteen generations. But that was just a childhood dream.
Now, Wang Shouren suddenly tells us that he wants to make money from those foreigners and win glory for the country.
Whether it's true or false, I, Kui Datou, am going to follow along.
He told me a lot more. He said that foreign countries are developing better than us now, and we should try to find ways to take some good things from them. But how do we take good things? Now is not the time; our country is not stable yet. He'll tell us when the time is right. Then, he told us to learn English.
This has left us completely baffled.
With our level of education, where can we learn English?
Besides, we haven't even mastered our own language yet, so why should we learn some other foreign language?
He told me that I should learn my own language first, and then learn bird language, otherwise, if I can't even speak bird language, I'll get fooled by birds and then I'll cry.
Thinking about it, it really makes sense. If you're going to take their money, you'd have to learn their language first, right? Besides, it wouldn't be appropriate to scam Big Brother. But there's no one here to teach me.
He told me that I could pick them up on the street. Nowadays, the people who sweep the streets were once very important figures.
I said that's not a good idea, what if we get found out?
He said, "If you get caught, it means you're incompetent."
Hey, with my fiery temper, that very day I went out and picked up two old men from the street. To be honest, after picking them up, I was actually a little scared.
After I picked them up, the two old men glared at us and asked who we were and what we wanted.
I shared my thoughts.
The two old men were stunned, and no one knew what was wrong with them, as if their tear ducts had been stimulated.
The two old men burst into tears, saying between sobs, "Good! Good! There are still people in our country who think about the future! Good! Good!"
The two old men were crying so hard that it made my heart ache.
From then on, the three of us brothers studied under those two old men.
Don't let their age fool you; when they really get going, they're ruthless. Once, they really got on my nerves and made me so angry that I went out for a walk before coming back. When I came back, I got another beating from them.
Fine, I'll give up and learn from it.
The two old men ultimately couldn't survive for more than a few years. In Wang Shouren's words, the two old gentlemen suffered too much loss.
But those two old men never cared about their health. They taught the three of us brothers with all their might. Before they died, they held our hands tightly and told us to make those foreign devils know how powerful our country was. They also told us to listen to Wang Shouren, a genius with profound wisdom. Even in death, the two old men never told me their names.
Sometimes I think, why bother? Just tell me, and I could at least put up a monument or something, so someone can take care of it in the future.
Unfortunately, the two old men just wouldn't agree.
But today, the guy the two old men call a genius asked me to do something...
