Because it is a township party, when I went back to Shangzhou to collect folk songs that year, Shenghua accompanied me to Sier.Si'er is a remote place in the mountains. After eating twelve meals of old rice noodles for four days in a row, my stomach is rumbling and thundering.I scolded Shenghua for not getting any delicious food.He ran three miles to a small restaurant in Buwan Village to buy four steamed buns, and then went to pick some spicy peppers from a spicy field by the river, but a dog chased him.The dogs in the mountains made a loud noise like a leopard, one bites, and then four of them also bite and rush. Shenghua pulls out a wooden stick from the fence by the side of the Lazi field, spins and beats while retreating, the dogs are still chasing after him. Reluctant.I saw a timber station by the roadside, and he got in through the gap in the iron fence door. He couldn't get through, his nose was too high, and in a hurry, he used the steamed bun in his arms as a stone, and the dog ran away with the steamed bun in his mouth.

up.Standing outside the fence gate, he shrugged his shoulders to me and said, "The steamed bun went into the dog's belly!" After returning from Si'er to Shangluo County, Shenghua worked in the county cultural center, and he must treat me to eat tofu.The tofu in Luonan is made of pulp and water, and it is pressed very porcelain, which can be called with a scale hook.The tofu is hot, cut into small cubes, and eaten with spicy water. The two of us ate five catties.Seeing that I was happy, he took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked me to write a banner for him.Although my writing brushes at that time were not as valuable as they are now, I loved Han pots and tiles very much, and I would not start writing without bringing a few.I said: Hey, do you want a piece of calligraphy after a meal of tofu? !Sheng Hua giggled, shook his head, and rubbed his nose, saying that his nose was damaged when he went through the iron gate.At that time, I was also a bit addicted to writing. I picked up the pen and wrote down the feelings of Si Er on the paper. After finishing writing, it was still a short essay. Later, Shenghua copied a copy and published it. Enter the "You Si Er Ji" in my anthology.

A few years later, Shenghua went from Luonan County to Xi'an to go to university, and after graduation, he was transferred to a newspaper in the province as an editor.We're in touch again.He found my house and said with regret that he had recently gone on a business trip to Ankang and bought me a few catties of selenium-enriched tea at the tea farmer's house. He didn't expect it to be stolen when he got off the train.I comforted him and wrote a manuscript for the newspaper at his request.Another time, he came to ask for a manuscript again, saying that he went to Hancheng and bought four catties of Dahongpao peppercorns, two catties per person, and left them in the car when he came.As soon as he left, I thought, no, why does he always lose things? !When he came to my house again, I grabbed his hair without waiting for him to speak. His hair was already thin after entering the city, so I grabbed a bright red tie and said, "Shenghua, get me some hair today." What did you lose again?!" Sheng Hua said, "I got someone for you, he's outside the door!" Only then did I see that there was a petite and shy girl standing at the door.

The girl became Shenghua's wife half a year later.The reason Sheng Hua brought her here is to let me speak well for him.I immediately regretted my behavior, and immediately invited the girl in, and after she came in, she said a lot of good things about Shenghua.I said, Shenghua is a person who is used to laughing and joking. He doesn't speak seriously, but in essence he is very honest and lovely.It is said that Shenghua is a bit older, he came from a bitter background, because of his lofty ambitions, he has been struggling all the time, which delayed his marriage. Now that he is in the top spot, if he marries you, he will love you even more.In the end I said, the nose is bigger, big nose is good, the West is advanced, don’t all Westerners have big noses?

After Shenghua got married, he had another son, and the township party members in Shangzhou were in an uproar.There are many Shangzhou natives in Xi'an, and there are only 20 people in the literary and art circles alone. Sheng Hua came to Xi'an late, but he was the first to complete the most basic things in his life, such as: mobilization, transfer, when Editing, evaluating titles, buying a house, marrying a wife, and having children.On the day of the child's full moon, he brought some red-dyed eggs and asked me what gift I would give the child?I said to send the child-a sentence: "When I grow up, I can make troubles like his father!" He laughed loudly, and suddenly said: "Do you know that a major event has happened in the literary world?" I shook my head, not knowing what happened.He added: "A rising star appeared..." A rising star?who? !He produced a magazine in which one of his novellas was published.I yelled and cursed loudly, but I still read his novel seriously. I have to admit that this is a very good novel. I was surprised when he started to study novels, with such a strange structure and so sophisticated writing style?Sheng Hua said: "If you think it's okay, then I will toss about novels in the future!"

Sure enough, his novels came out one after another.His novels are very full of life, and the stories he writes are fascinating, but they are not the traditional ones. They borrow Western writing methods and combine them without traces, which are simple, vast and strange. He is now a well-known editor, reporter and writer, but his unscrupulous nature is still there.He often called and said that he would come to my house to eat rice with paste soup from his hometown, but he would not come after making a pot of paste soup.But I like to go with him when I go to Baxian Temple. He wears a suit and tie, and his stomach is full. Those fortune-tellers think he is the boss, and flies only pester him for fortune-telling.I like to ask him to help when I buy things. He will pat the seller on the shoulder and haggle and bargain, and the price can be lowered by a third or even half.I have been asking him to go to Shangzhou to collect wind together, and he said that there is no problem, now it is not the same as before, even if you don’t ask the local government to take care of it, I will let you stop eating old noodles.I said: You will pretend to be big, do you want me to just call you the director or something?Sheng Hua said: I can also call you Director, but look, do you look like a Director!
