My story is related to a girl named Tong, who should be called a woman now. She is only 24 years old, and I am 14 years older than her. Six months after her marriage, three weeks ago, she divorced.
A week later, we registered for marriage. We have no wedding, no banquet, nothing, she said, as long as she married me, she was happy.
She doesn't want those flashy things, she just wants to be by my side. At that moment, I cried. I was afraid to disappoint her. But I still hugged her, because I knew I could not leave her. I knew when I saw her dressed up to marry another man.
Meeting each other is doomed
It was a day at the beginning of August 2001, and it was also Saturday. It was raining that day.
At that time, I had been divorced for half a year, and my wife was a good person, but we were like two gyroscopes rotating in different directions. The longer we lived, the farther we deviated. Finally, we chose to divorce.
We have two houses. I gave the big one to her and the children, and I left a small two-room one. This seems to go too far.
Tong was brought by a friend. Tong's family is not in Jinzhou. Her father and his friend were good friends when they were naked, so they gave him Tongtong. My friend lived in the same family for three generations, so it was not convenient to leave her there, so my friend came up with a way to put her here.
He brought me without consulting with me. As soon as I was about to speak, my friend said, "A little girl lives outside. People don't trust me. I don't trust you. You are a gentleman, and I trust you 100%."
But a big man and a little girl live under the same roof, and I am also awkward. My friend had prepared eight hundred sentences for me. He said, "You can think of her as a distant niece." And he immediately called the little girl to call her uncle.
My friend left, leaving me and Tong. The atmosphere in the room was strange. Tong is a generous child. She said, "Uncle, do you have any food at home? Have you not eaten yet?"
Unexpectedly, the deadlock was broken by this little girl. I said hurriedly, "No, your uncle Wang must have told you about my situation. I fool around every day, and I can't cook." After that, I felt a little embarrassed. Who cares for who?
On that day, we took an umbrella to buy vegetables, and also took Tong to get familiar with the surrounding environment. I met my neighbor on the way, so I had to say what my friend taught me, and Tong was also very popular with Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li.
We had a very happy dinner that night. Tong was a cheerful and modern child. She said that she would call me Uncle Xuan because she was so kind and fashionable. I can't help being infected by her.
