3. Content of the work

Detailed introduction of the content:

At the beginning of "Why I Don't Have Xiaomi", the male protagonist Mi Jinde was "molested" in the workplace because of his joking actions. "Female colleague Xiao Yuan was scolded by the leader Pu Chao, but it turned out that Xiao Yuan was Xiaomi, the leader of Pu Chao. He was frightened by the secret and was eager to talk about his unhappiness. However, he was accidentally told by Zhu Ziliang, an ordinary colleague in the same office, that he was also having an affair. This surprised Mekind.

He couldn't wait to ride to his wife Zhao Ran's work to tell her these secrets. As a result, the wife did not take it seriously and instead said, "There is nothing for a man these days to make a fuss over Xiaomi." She said, "A man as incompetent as you is not." These words and this incident made Mikind feel that he was looked down upon. He lied that his classmate was sick and obtained the bankbook from his wife Zhao Ran, and went to visit his old classmate Wang Wei, whom he had not seen for more than ten years.

Mijinde remembered that she loved yogurt the most, so she bought a box of yogurt and went to Wang Wei. Wang Wei divorced because her husband could not let her have a child. Wang Wei took off his clothes and changed clothes in front of Mijinde, and asked him if he had gained weight. Mijinde told her about the two people he knew about Xiaomi, and then hugged Wang Wei and asked her to be Xiaomi. Wang Wei said that she was so moved suddenly and asked if she could help her mother find a job as a text proofreader. As a result, Mikind failed to do it. Wang Wei asked Mi Jinde to accompany him for a beauty treatment, and asked him to pay more than 3,000 yuan for a year's beauty treatment. Wang Wei kissed Mi Jinde on the face.

Mi Jinde wants to invite Zhu Ziliang and a group of colleagues to dinner to show off and meet his girlfriend, making everyone mistakenly think that they have slept together. The colleagues ordered expensive dishes and started eating before Wang Wei showed up. Wang Wei showed a bad look after arriving late. When he saw the dishes, he took a taxi and left angrily. Mi Jinde chased her out and got into the car. They quarreled because they disliked the expensive food, but Wang Wei didn't let Mi go back to pay the bill. Mijinde hugged Wang Wei, but Wang Wei protected his chest and told him to renovate his house for about 50,000 yuan.

Mi Jinde’s colleague called and told his wife Zhao Ran that he had a woman outside. Zhao Ran didn’t believe it and told Mi Jinde about it. Mijinde felt a little desolate. Didn't he even have the conditions to make Zhao Ran suspicious? After arriving at work, his colleagues collectively ignored him because of his behavior of skipping orders the morning before. One day after get off work at noon, Mi Jinde happened to sneak under his desk to pick up a pin that had fallen to the ground. He accidentally heard his colleague Zhu Ziliang telling Xiao Yuan that he had a mistress, but Xiao Yuan said in a contemptuous tone that he didn't believe it.

Mi Jinde was stimulated. He went home and rummaged through three bankbooks and found three bankbooks. He took one and went to Wang Wei. Wang Wei was dissatisfied with the lack of money. Mijinde said that she only asked to go to the office to talk to him when it was convenient for her, and forced Wang Wei to accept the 10,000 yuan. Wang Wei kissed him on the face.

Later, Wang Wei went to Mi Jinde's office and chatted for a while, holding a bouquet of roses. The excited attitude of his colleagues gave Mikind a great comfort.

While doing laundry, his wife Zhao Ran discovered a beauty invoice with Wang Wei’s name written on it in Mi Jinde’s pocket. After discovering that he secretly used his bankbook to spend money on other women, he insisted on getting a divorce. Mijinde said that he and Wang Wei were just friends, he had not done anything shameful, and he still loved Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran didn't believe it. Mijinde knelt on the broken vase porcelain and waited for Zhao Ran's forgiveness. They still divorced. On the day of the divorce, Mikind kept shouting "I'm wronged, I'm wronged".

After the divorce, Mijinde met his boss Pu Chao in the office corridor. Puchao praised him and said, "It's good." . Mikind feels that he is an incompetent person.

One weekend afternoon, Wang Wei asked Mi Jinde to go to the newly renovated house. Wang Wei was waiting for him naked. As a result, he found that he was dying and was kicked by Wang Wei. Get out of here. Finally, Mi Jinde discovered that Wang Wei was actually as ugly as his wife Zhao Ran said. He patted his lower body and asked, brother, why are you so unsatisfied?

Summary of content:

Mi Jinde accidentally discovered that his colleague Xiao Yuan was Xiaomi who led Puchao because of a joke. His colleague Zhu Ziliang also had an affair. His wife thought these things were not worth making a fuss about. . He wanted to ask his classmate Wang Wei to be his mistress, but Wang Wei asked him to help his mother find a job and decorate the house but failed to do so. He only paid the beauty fee. In the end, his wife discovered the invoice and found out that he had Xiaomi, so they divorced him. In the end, he and Wang Wei were about to have sex, but dramatically they found out that they couldn't do it anymore and were kicked.

4. Plot causality

1. Because Mi Jinde made a joke to tease his colleague Xiao Yuan, he was trained by the leader Pu Chao and found out that Xiao Yuan was the leader Xiao Mi.

2. Because Mi Jinde wanted to tell Pu Chao about Xiaomi’s secret, he was told that Zhu Ziliang was also having an affair.

3. Because of his wife’s disapproval and contempt for him in the “two affairs” incident, Mi Jinde decided to meet his classmate Wang Wei to find Xiaomi.

4. Because I had wild fantasies about Wang Wei, I did a lot of things at Wang Wei’s request but failed, such as helping the Queen Mother find a job but failing; helping Wang Wei decorate the house failed; even having sex in the end was because of “ It won’t work” and it didn’t happen. The only thing he could do was help Wang Wei pay the beauty fee for one year.

5. Because he wanted to find Xiaomi, Mi Jinde deceived his wife into giving Wang Wei a bankbook to spend money; he also stole a bankbook to renovate Wang Wei's house.

6. The couple divorced because a woman was discovered outside Mikind.

7. There are some internal reasons: because Mijinde feels that he is looked down upon by others and wants to find a little girl to prove that he is worthy; because Mijinde cannot feel the respect for him in his wife’s tone He wants to find Xiaomi because of his respect; because of the social atmosphere that "men have to make a fuss about Xiaomi," then Mijinde wants to find Xiaomi...

There are still a lot of thoughts.

5. Gains

First of all, the writer’s delicate description of characters shows his superb writing skills. For example, when describing the character of Mi Jinde when he rides to his wife Zhao Ran's work, "Mi Jin De's shirt is soaked through, and there are crystal clear sweat beads as big as beans hanging on his hair. His neck is stiff and his chest is heaving. , opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water, wanting to say something but being stuck in his neck." This vividly reproduced the way Mikind was sweating and breathing heavily from pedaling hard on the bicycle. . Moreover, some metaphorical words imply the author's attitude "like a fish out of water." Another example is when writing about Wang Wei, "a middle-aged woman who is growing up". With just a few words, it seems to be an objective description, but the attitude is revealed.

The second is the writer's freedom of expression. The author's narration is particularly calm. The waves of details are simple and unpretentious, and there seems to be no big ups and downs. “But when he describes reality and human conditions, it is more like using a sharp blade wrapped in soft Jiangnan silk, leaving scars that will never be scabbed.

"This kind of realism shows the fierce conflict between human desire, dignity and morality. It seems to be an understatement, but in fact it is thought-provoking. This kind of writing reminds me of the people I have read one by one in the past few days, Woodpecker, Liu Jiu Sui, Feicun, and Li Jiusi, many of their articles have similar styles, but are slightly different. There is tension in the narrative, and the plot is not slow or slow.

The third is that the writer writes the characters. It seems that its original form is living around us. The writer Dong Dong once said: "I still adhere to the writing method of 'following the characters', letting myself breathe and share the fate of the characters in the work. When I wrote Wang Changche, I That’s Wang Changchi. When I write about He Xiaowen, I am He Xiaowen. "" Try to make every character who appears accurate and try our best to make readers remember them. "It seems that if an article wants to infect readers, it must first infect the author, or the author is everyone in the article. Only in this way can the characters have souls.

...

Reading can indeed Food for thought.
