Essays on Lao Lei's Anecdotal Prose

In fact, Lao Lei is not old, but he is in his forties. It's just that everyone calls him that, and it gradually becomes a habit.

The old ray I met more than ten years ago is still fresh in my memory. Every time I think of his sly little eyes and thin figure, I want to laugh. It's not that I laughed at his appearance, but that I thought others were so petite and exquisite, but he married a burly Mongolian wife. He is not obedient, so his wife often beats him black and blue. Beaten to death, Lao Lei decided to resist. The result of resistance is to run away from home and go out to work. So, he came to the small private factory where I worked to apply and became my cartographer.

I didn't like Lao Lei that much when I first met him. His appearance can't be summed up in the category of honesty at all. He is a small man with a square face and a pair of small eyes circling back and forth in my face. People in their forties are incredibly trendy, and their clothes are in line with the trend. If they only look at the back instead of the front, they are still young people. He likes to laugh and almost laughs at everyone. He is modest, but not very comfortable.

Lao Lei's skill is good, which is why the boss liked him at first sight. His designs and drawings are excellent and his salary is not high. In our small private factory, the boss is really happy to have such a master of technology, so he is particularly tolerant. At that time, there were many female workers and few male workers in the factory. The boss specially rented a big yard not far from the factory for the women workers to live in, and Lao Lei also got special care and lived with our women workers. This cocaine ruined him. He always chats with others at work. After work, he sat in the ladies room and talked for a long time. He refused to leave. Finally, several girls came to see me, so I followed him to another room. As soon as Lao Lei saw me, he got up and left without saying anything, which made a group of girls laugh.

I'm surprised that old ray is afraid of me. I don't know when he will stop joking with me. Or because I am too cold and simple to be a boy, or his jokes are often stuck in mid-air by my eyes, which makes him embarrassed and has no dignity when he is old. However, I still respect Lao Lei very much, because his painting skills are good and he really taught me a lot.

Maybe horses don't have reins and railings. As the days passed, the old Lei I met became more and more courageous. He can't get any advantage from us girls of seventeen or eighteen, so he shifted his target and turned his attention to a new woman who cooks. First, he didn't expect anything in return, and then he simply grinded noodles in the kitchen and started to work as a free chef every chance he got. The boss inquired about the progress of the new design. I had to prevaricate and muddle along. Besides painting, I also do coloring, so I don't have much free time to stare at him. I'm just another Lao Wang in the poor studio, pouting my ass every day to clean up the mess for Lao Lei. At that time, Lao Lei was witty and light-footed, humming a ditty while cooking, and his hair was shiny and shiny, which surprised even the proprietress. Old ray seems to be getting younger!

The place where we live is actually another yard of a rich family. The owner rented several houses, with two bedrooms, one living room, main entrance and concierge. The concierge is the same as the kitchen. Lao Lei said that he would also engage in creation and drawings, and the boss let him live in the concierge. There is still a long way to go from the dormitory, and the boss doesn't come often. Old ray was bolder and brought the cook back for the night. Later, the woman simply moved her luggage and openly lived with Lao Lei. Give old A Lei a small stove and wait on him with great care. The concierge is near the road, and girls have to go through the door when they come out and go in. It is embarrassing to meet scenes that are not suitable for children. So for a long time, I felt uncomfortable working with Lao Lei. I hardly spoke except for some polite greetings. Later, several designs designed by Lao Lei were adopted. When the boss was happy, he said that he would arrange for Lao Lei's unemployed son to work at home. I think Lao Lei has mixed feelings about this decision. Because Lao Lei's son is coming, this lady has to move her luggage again.

That morning, I got up and washed and was ready to go to work. At this time, the girl on duty came to me and said that I couldn't find the broom to sweep the floor. I heard them say that Lao Lei took it last night. I say you ask Master Lei for it. Several girls faltered, and I realized that the woman came here for the night again last night. She hasn't got up yet, and no one dares to knock at the door, but everyone is waiting to clean up and go to work.

So I knocked at the door of Lao Lei's house and asked him to throw the broom out, but I knocked several times in a row and there was still no sound in the room. I was a little angry and knocked harder. Finally, an angry voice from Lao Lei came from the room: "I said you should be shameless. A big girl knocked on a man's door early in the morning! I have a broom, but I won't give it to you. Come in and get it yourself! "

I was angry, too. I'm shameless. I'm still a pig. I said, can you open the door or I'll blow it for you! I was only seventeen years old that year. But the whole factory doesn't know that I have a bad temper. If you reason with me, I will listen. If you are unreasonable, I won't buy it! Who knows that day, Lao Lei didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, but he still put up with me and just didn't open the door. And deliberately said some ugly things, and the woman was still helping. A few workmates outside pulled me and said forget it. I don't believe this evil, so I stepped back and kicked the door open. I heard several screams coming from the room, and soon Lao Lei ran out of the suite unkempt and threw the broom out. I picked up the broom and threw it directly on his head. At this time, I don't know who called the boss and his wife, and Lao Lei was arrested.

On the same day, Lao Lei was fired. That woman is a relative of the boss, save face and stay a few more days. In the afternoon, Lao Lei's son came and his job was ruined. I have to follow my father back to my hometown.

When Lao Lei left, I quietly followed him to the door. Lao Lei's son is only twenty years old, but he is also a big man, carrying Lao Lei's bedclothes in one hand and slipping his coat collar in the other. Old ray is a little depressed. Somehow, my face is still blue, and I have returned a large piece. Hair is messy, too. His eyes are still looking around. I knew he was looking for that woman, but he was finally pushed away by his son in disappointment. Later I learned that Lao Lei didn't send a penny of his salary for half a year to his hometown, but spent it all on that woman. It seems that he really likes that woman.

I suddenly have some regrets and pains.

I have never seen him since. I don't know if Lao Lei, who has returned to his hometown, has had a good life these years. ...
