The story of Sahara: San Mao and Jose's married life turned out to be such a painting style!

Before reading The Story of the Sahara, my understanding of Sanmao was the well-known conversation between her and her husband Jose:

Since then, their story has become a love story, and this dialogue has also been regarded as a classic of love stories by many people.

Before, I only knew that Sanmao was a writer with personality and maverick. Therefore, I think it is probably a romantic, cold and alienated literary image.

After reading this book, I found that she is also a little girl who loves cocoa.

It turns out that her love with Jose is a real "suitable match" in the soul.

It turns out that a woman can live so casually and freely.

There is a passage in the book that impressed me deeply:

When I read this, I felt very envious.

It is a rare thing to have a person who fully understands himself.

Sanmao often says that she wants to travel to the desert, but all her friends think she is telling a joke, and no one takes it seriously.

Only Jose quietly went to the desert to find a job, find a good house, settle down and wait for the arrival of his beloved woman.

After Sanmao arrived, Jose had to live in the company dormitory because he didn't have an early bus pass for the time being, and Sanmao lived in the house they rented. The distance between the two places is 100 km, but Jose comes to see her by bus every day before they buy a car.

After having her own car, Jose will take Sanmao to find her favorite little turtle fossils more than 0/00 kilometers away from/kloc-after work;

Will go to the seaside to catch fish and sell them when the economy is in distress;

It will also take a day to run to the distant Atlantic coast, just to satisfy Sanmao's curiosity-to see how local women take a bath.

These seemingly silly things, Jose has done it seriously.

Jose really loves Sanmao, so he will spoil Sanmao into a child.

Moreover, it is precisely because of their childlike innocence, not bound by the secular, and always full of tricks that the originally boring desert life can become interesting.

When San Mao and Jose got married in the desert, the casual time and simple ceremony were simply jaw-dropping.

Because it is a transnational marriage, and they are in Spain, it is very complicated to handle all kinds of documents and get married.

Three months later, the court secretary finally said to San Mao, "Well, now you can get married. I have arranged an appointment for you at 6 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. "

So there is the following funny dialogue:

On the wedding day, Sanmao only wore a light blue linen dress, which was not even new.

The shoes are a pair of sandals, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and no flowers, so I went to the kitchen and took a handful of coriander and pinned it on the hat.

It's that simple.

Jose said: "Very good, rural flavor, so simple but beautiful."

Then they walk for 40 minutes to get married in the small town court.

After a simple wedding ceremony, I suddenly found that they didn't exchange rings.

Sanmao asked Jose if he had a ring. Jose said happily, "Here it is." Then put one hand on it and follow the judge to ask for the household registration book, completely forgetting to wear a ring for Sanmao. ...

After getting married, they didn't invite anyone to dinner or go to a restaurant to celebrate, but went home to cook for themselves.

It's the first time I know that weddings can be so casual and simple.

It is also the first time to know that even such a simple wedding has its own fun and significance.

As long as there is love between two people, as long as they are happy, in fact, those so-called clothes, jewelry and red tape are not necessary.

After marriage, their simple and sweet daily life is like a modern romantic drama.

The chapter "Hotel in the Desert" tells an interesting story about Sanmao cooking Chinese food at home.

Sanmao cooked chicken soup with vermicelli, and Jose asked, what is this, China spaghetti?

San Mao said, "Well, it's called rain. This is the first rain in spring. Fell on the mountain and froze one by one. When the mountain cells are tied, they come down from the mountain and sell them in bundles for rice wine. Not easy to buy! "

Later, Sanmao made another film, Ant Climbing Trees. Jose took a big bite and asked, like white wool or plastic?

Sanmao replied, "No, it's the kind of nylon you caught. China people make it soft and white. "

Another time I cooked sushi, and Jose refused to eat it.

San Mao not only always scares Jose to wait for a while, but also scares his boss. I once invited my boss to dinner at home and disguised "fried mushrooms with cucumber" as "fried mushrooms with bamboo shoots". Of course, the boss didn't find out.

Obviously, I am so naughty, but I also said, "Sometimes I feel that Jose is stupid, so I am a little sad."

In the story of Sahara, besides the life of San Mao and Jose, there are magnificent desert scenery, but in fact it is more about "people" in the desert.

There are Guka, a girl next door who got married at the age of ten, Sharon, a grocery store clerk who was carried away by love, neighbors who kept asking Sanmao for items and borrowed them, and dumb slaves who were kind, honest and pathetic. ...

Thanks to San Mao's pen records of these people and things, we can get a glimpse of the Sahara desert, and those of us who can't go to the desert seem to have been there once.

San Mao's last life may seem bleak and miserable to ordinary people. But I don't think she feels sorry for herself.

Because she has been reckless crazy, happy in love, free to walk and watch, the so-called wonderful life, but that's all.
