When I was seven years old, I met my father for the first time. Wu Min and I walked to Lao Dachangli on Guanqian Road near the station, and ordered a fast food, ham and egg sandwich, alone.The second floor of Lao Dachang was quiet, at 4:30 in the afternoon, neither early nor late, there was no one there.The light on the second floor was very dim, and the light music from downstairs came faintly.After we finished our sandwiches and drank coffee, Wu Min lit a Jade Mountain, took a deep breath, and said: The first time I saw him, I was very scared. At that time, he was much stronger, and he had not started taking drugs. He had a shiny suit hair and was full of air.As soon as he arrived at my second uncle's house, he quarreled with my second aunt because he wanted to take me away.He went to prison for the first time when my mother was pregnant with me, and I was born at my second uncle's house.I saw that he was fierce, so I quickly hid in the rice barn.My second uncle opened a rice mill in Hsinchu, and the rice warehouse was full of large baskets containing millet and rice bran. I got into the pile of baskets and refused to come out to the death.When my father came to catch me, I crawled all over the ground, kicked over a basket of rice bran, and scattered all over my head.The second aunt laughed when she saw it, and said, "This looks like a mouse that steals rice bran!"

Speaking of which, Wu Min himself laughed first. Hakka women are the best!Wu Min shrugged his shoulders and said as if he still had lingering fear. Is your second uncle afraid of your wife?I laughed and said, I heard that Hakka men are afraid of their wives. Uncle?The second aunt roared, his face turned yellow with fright, do you think he is afraid?Wu Min smiled and said that the second aunt's family is a prominent Hakka family in Hsinchu, and the rice mill was her dowry.The second uncle is a bachelor, standing in front of the second aunt is a bit shorter.I have the same illness as him, and every day I have to be scolded by my second aunt from the dining table to the dining table.During the years when I was at my second aunt's house, I was always in fear.I remember the most, the night when my second aunt drove my mother out, she called me to her room to sleep, and slept until midnight when I was full of urine, and didn’t dare to get up, for fear of waking her up, so I had to drown in my pants

Poor, I shook my head and sighed with a smile, like a little daughter-in-law. what else can we do?Wu Min took a puff of cigarette, who told her parents not to live up to expectations?Dad went to jail, and my mother stole someone and slept with a worker in the rice mill until she got pregnant, and asked the second aunt to push them out of the gate. Did you meet your mother afterwards? I didn't see her, and Wu Min shook her head, not knowing where she was, only heard that she married that worker, and probably had a good life. Ah Qing, Wu Min pondered for a moment, put out his cigarette, and suddenly called out, have you ever heard someone cut off his finger to quit gambling?

Yes, I said with a smile, some people cut off two or three of them! Even if my gambler dad had nine fingers chopped off, he would have to draw cards for the remaining one!Wu Min shook his head and sighed with a smile. He bet with the Taiwanese that Sangong could stay at the table for three days and three nights.His whole life was gambled away like that.It’s not that I’m saying something cruel, it doesn’t matter if my dad is locked up in Taipei Prison, where I can still visit him from time to time and take care of him.Now that he is released, in less than three months, if his gamble is fired, God knows what accidents will happen again?Ah Qing, why is life so troublesome?Life is hard!

Wu Min looked at me with a helpless smile and said. No one knows how hard it is!I replied, do you want to cut your hands again?Xiaoyu said that the next time Wu Min cuts his dick, I won't give him a blood transfusion! No, why would you do such a stupid thing?Wu Min got up in embarrassment and kept her head bowed. Ah Qing, last night Mr. Zhang asked me to stay with him and move back to live with him. how do you say? I promised him. No wonder Xiaoyu called you a little bitch!How come that Scar King made five moves, and your soul flew over?What are you coveting him for?His beautiful apartment in Guangwu New Village?

I remember Wu Min told me that the first day he moved into Mr. Zhang's apartment, he soaked in his blue-tiled bathroom for an hour and refused to come out. I didn't say that I would move back to live with him now, Wu Min argued, I just went to his place to stay with him, last night, after leaving Anle Township, I went to his house to see him, I know He must have been drunk again, he doesn't drink well. I suddenly remembered that when I went to Mr. Zhang's place that day, Mr. Zhang told Xiao Qinqui, the little ghost, to throw me a bag of old clothes that Wu Min left at his place, and asked me to take it away.It was probably at that moment that I suddenly noticed the line at the corner of Mr. Zhang’s mouth, like a deep knife mark. He reminded me of Long Fei, the villain star in "Scar King Five". In that movie, Long Fei always liked to grin. A deep scar appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Such a heartless person deserves you to treat him like this!I suddenly felt that the 500 CC blood I lost to Wu Min was really not worth it. I pity him.Wu Min looked at me and said. You pity him?I puffed, and spit out the coffee I just took into my mouth, my little boy, please take pity on yourself first, your little life was almost ruined in his hands. You don't know, Ah Qing, Mr. Zhang is a very lonely man.When I used to live with him, he was usually cold and not very talkative.But once he drank alcohol, he had an attack, and he vented his anger on me first, scolding me for no reason.Then he closed the door alone and went to sleep.Once he was so drunk that he vomited upside down in the room. I hurried in to serve him and change his clothes.He was so drunk that he probably didn't know who I was, so he hugged me, put his head into my arms and cried bitterly, crying like his heart and liver were split.Ah Qing, have you seen it?Have you ever seen a big man cry so terribly?

I said I have seen it.I thought of the physical education teacher who shared a room with me in the Yaotai Hotel, that big man from the north, he had built up muscles on his lower abdomen, which were as hard as iron, and he kept asking me to touch them with his hands.But that night when he was lying next to me, he cried so mournfully that I was at a loss what to do. He was also very drunk that night, reeking of alcohol. I used to think that big men wouldn't cry, especially a cold one like Mr. Zhang.Who knew that his tears were also hot, and they flowed so much that they kept dripping on the back of my hand.Mr. Zhang is very unpopular, mean, suspicious, and stingy. He usually doesn’t have many friends. None of the boys who live with him are sincere to him. Cheap, grab something and go.Xiao Qinkuai, that guy is the most ruthless.Mr. Zhang told me that he not only took away a Gallon camera from Mr. Zhang, but also took away his most precious Sanyo stereo, and he was very vicious. He said that if Mr. Zhang went to the police, he would Shake out his relationship with Mr. Zhang.After being hit this time, Mr. Zhang thought of me again. He probably thought that I was the only one who could be relied on, so he asked me to go back to accompany him.

Then why don't you just move back to live with him, and just be that little slave of Scar Wang Wu again? I think about it, it's good for now, Mr. Zhang has a strange temper, he is lonely for a while, and he wants me to go back, if he regrets it again, I will be too embarrassing.And now it's not that I have nowhere to go, the master wants me to live in Anle Township at night, so that I can keep the shop.I said to him: Mr. Zhang, when you really need me, I will definitely move back to accompany you. Wu Min stopped for a moment, looked at me, and continued: Ah Qing, I know that Mr. Zhang is not a very cute person.But I have been with him for a not short period of time. Although he was unfeeling to me, as long as he needs me, I will still take care of him.Anyway, he kept me staying with him that long.To be honest, I lived the most comfortable life when I was with Mr. Zhang from childhood to adulthood.

There was a smile on the corner of Wu Min's mouth. He looked up at the electric clock on the wall, picked up the bill on the table, got up and said: At six o'clock, we should go to Anle Township to go to work.
