Tong Tong came back this time, and Sun Chengcai always felt that he had become different. Mother Sun said that Tong Tong is now out of breath, and he looks like a person who has read books.

Tong Tong smiled very shyly and said very modestly that although he had gone to college, he could not compare with Sun Chengcai, who was young and had already bought two houses in Hong Kong City. Not only that, but he has already started a family, has a lovely wife and children, and has become a winner in life in the eyes of others.

Sun Chengcai snuffed out the cigarette butt, squinted his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "Just rush to our relationship, you don't have to tell me this, do you? You actually flatter me? Could it be that you have already treated me as an outsider?"

Tong Tong hurriedly waved his hand: "How is it possible, what I said is true, I have never been polite to you." ”

Sun Chengcai still felt that something was weird, and when he met again after a long absence, he had to pull Tong Tong to drink. But after a day of business, he was already exhausted, and finally fell on the table. In a hazy sleepy eye, I heard Tong Tong tell him that he would find Chen Zeping to drink with him another day, and he would not return home if he was not drunk.

"If you don't get drunk, you won't return!" Sun Chengcai only remembered that he had repeated this sentence, and then he couldn't remember anything.

When he woke up the next day, Sun Chengcai still felt like he was in a dream. He once imagined that after a long absence, the two would hug each other tightly, then punch and kick, and shout loudly over a few bottles of beer, mixed with some vulgar words, complaining about the unsatisfactory years of ......

At least that's how he and Chen Zeping are. After seeing Tong Tong, none of the above things happened, and there seemed to be a barrier between them, polite, but a little strange and estranged.

"You don't blame me for that incident, do you? Or did you look down on me after you went to college?"

Ami told him not to think too much about it, and persuaded, "Listen to you, didn't his father have a recurrence of cancer? How can he be in a good mood? It's good that he's in the mood to come and see you. ”

That's right. Sun Chengcai pondered for a long time, bought some fruit snacks, and watched Lao Tong go. Lao Tong recently recuperated at home, and he became skinny and bone-ty, and he became even more weak when he spoke. Although the summer was not yet over, he still covered it tightly, and his hair fell out, so he wore a hat that was loose on his head and could fall off at any time.

Sun Chengcai felt very uncomfortable, and he didn't know what to say to comfort him. The way he looks, it really can't make people believe that he will get better. Even so, Lao Tong said optimistically: "In the three villages of happiness, I am the most blessed, don't look at them all have their own children, but they can't catch up with my Tong Tong's filial piety." ”

"That is, in order to take care of you, Tong Tong specially came back to work. ”

Lao Tong was originally practicing calligraphy, and he proudly said that the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were all bought by Tong Tong, and they were all of very good quality. But his physical strength was limited, and every time he wrote a few words, he was so trembling that he couldn't hold the pen.

After Sun Chengcai came, he reclined on the sofa and said with a laborious smile: "I can't get used to what kind of 'cancer' you young people have in the circle of friends, lazy cancer, embarrassing cancer or something...... If you really have cancer, see which of you can get it!"

"No, most of today's young people are moaning without illness. ”

Lao Tong smiled again and said, "You don't just come to see me, but you still come to find Tong Tong, right? He is busy going to college, and the school will start in a few days, and the store has just been renovated, so he wants to go over and get the machine." ”

Lao Tong never left Tong Tong in three words, and the child who was once disgusted and wanted to send him away has now become his pride. He said Tong Tong won several years of scholarships at university, won awards in national competitions, and started a business with several graduate students. "It's hard for people to find a job after graduating from college, but he bought me this house before he finished his studies. I've lived in an elevator room for the rest of my life, and my bedroom is still south-facing, bright! Even my heart is bright! Alas, although I won't live long, I'm also happy!"

As Tong Tong said, the house he bought is indeed not very good, the location is remote, one ladder and six households, only one side is south-facing, and the area is still very small. Maybe this condition is placed in the blind date market, and many girls will not look at it, but considering that this is a house he bought when he was a student, he is already amazing. And for Lao Tong, this house must be regarded as a mansion.

Lao Tong felt very sorry for this adopted son, he said: "Tong Tong works very hard and tries to make money, but he can't save a penny to buy a house, open a taekwondo gym, and treat me." I heard him say that the money to open a store in the university this time was borrowed from the bank. ”

"He told me last night, but I always felt like he didn't tell me a lot of things. Sun Chengcai said: "I want to lend him money, but he didn't ask for it, does he treat me as an outsider?" ”

"Hey, how is that possible? He just has a lot of things that he can't talk about. It is not easy to be admitted to the civil service, the size is an official, decent, and stable. I wanted him to keep going, I didn't want him to quit, and I quarreled with him a few times about it, but I couldn't beat him. To tell you the truth, I don't know what civil service he took the exam, because he always said that he needed to keep it secret. There's no way, I don't dare to make a noise, otherwise, I would have already shown off to your father. If it's okay, I'll just think about it, could it be that he has passed the public security exam? He said that he would talk about it later. ”

Lao Tong's breath was too weak, and when he talked about stopping, Sun Chengcai was also very tired when he listened. After making sure that Tong Tong did not intend to distance himself from him, he was comforted.

After coming out of Tong's house, Sun Chengcai called Chen Zeping again and told him the news of Tong Tong's return. Chen Zeping was dazed in his sleep, and when he heard the news, he immediately came to his senses: "Where is he? I have to beat him up! Grabbed him by the collar and slapped him in the mouth...... Oh, no, no, no, if you don't hit someone in the face, then I'll kick him hard! Kick him! Kick him! Hmph, it's been seven years, I've sent him countless QQ messages, made countless phone calls, and he hasn't heard from him at all. Why are you coming back now? Looking for a beating? Lao Tzu ......"

"Okay, you, can you beat him?"

“......”

Chen Zeping was instantly dumbfounded.

"If you hadn't pulled him to play games back then, would he have missed Mr. Meng's last call?"

Chen Zeping came to his senses again and defended: "Don't just talk about me, the main fault lies with you! You hid his phone!"

The two complained to each other, and finally Sun Chengcai snuffed out the cigarette butt and made up his mind: "I won't do business tonight, so I'll invite you two to dinner." I don't believe it, will you still be hot this time?"

Tong Tong was busy at school until nine o'clock, and when he heard that Sun Chengcai was going to have a treat, he bought a beer and wanted to make amends with two good friends. But when he felt Sun Ji barbecue, he was dumbfounded—the table was full, but it was all cold. Under the table is a neatly stacked case of beer, look at the posture, you have to get drunk tonight.

yes, how can such a big barbecue restaurant be without beer?

Tong Tong looked at the beer in his hand and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

But there is not a single customer in such a big barbecue restaurant, how much money will be lost this night? But Sun Chengcai didn't care, he shouted at Tong Tong: "Why are you stunned? Come and eat!"

Tong Tong almost didn't recognize Chen Zeping, and looked at it for a long time. Chen Zeping smiled and said first: "Do you want to say that you can't recognize me?"

"Fat head, big ears, oily face. Tong Tong complained: "People who go to be soldiers are all trained to be black, and they have a body of tendon meat, you here, you ......."

"Okay, I know I'm fat!" Chen Zeping didn't care: "I'm too tired from training, I eat too much, and if I eat too much, won't this be fat?"

After studying in a junior college for a year, Chen Zeping was forcibly sent to the army by his father. Chen's father told him to review hard and prepare for the military academy. He's smart, and there's still a lot of hope. There are still people in the Chen family who are officers, so as long as he is admitted to the military academy, it will be a smooth road in the future.

But Chen Zeping is used to being lazy, and his two-year military career has not changed his personality. He paid lip service, but never acted. Stay up until you are discharged from the army, and you can only go home. When people come back from the army, father and son see each other, which is extremely moving. But before Chen Zeping got out of the station, he was almost kicked back to the army by his father.

Chen Zeping wanted to go back to his hometown to open a cultural company, but he didn't open it until now. He guarded the stationery store at the entrance of the second middle school, and studied the lottery and Zhou Yi attentively. He said he wanted to be an online writer in the future. Of course, it's just talking, and he hasn't written for a few years.

By his own admission, he was nothing more than a salted fish.

"However, when I win the jackpot, or study Zhou Yi thoroughly, I will inevitably become a god in the online literature industry!"

The two good friends obviously didn't understand the relationship between the three, and Sun Chengcai said mercilessly: "You, you are just a master with low eyes, and you are idle!"

"Hmm. Chen Zeping didn't refute, he took a big sip of beer and said lazily: "In other words, I can also calm down, and if I don't make a sound, I will be a blockbuster." ”

Tong Tong still felt incredible: "In the two years of military career, you didn't train you to become a materialist warrior, but you studied superstition, which simply failed the cultivation of the party and the country!"

"Zhou Yi is a science, even universities have this discipline, how can I engage in feudal superstition?" Chen Zeping said unconvincedly: "You sit so upright, speak and act in a straightforward manner, you seem to have been a soldier for several years." ”

"Come on!" Tong Tong patted his thigh and laughed: "You think too highly of me, not only can I not be a soldier of the people, but I can't even be a policeman." ”

"Is it because of your background?"

"Not quite, my personality doesn't fit well. ”

Sun Chengcai glanced at him coldly, heh, this guy, sure enough, still hides his mind very deeply, and he keeps playing Tai Chi for the past seven years.

Forget it, what else are you going to do with him? Sun Chengcai took a sip of wine and said bluntly: "Tong Tong, to tell you the truth, do you look down on the two of us? Are you too high to be high when you go to college? Or have you never let go of what happened seven years ago? At that time, everyone was an ignorant little child, and it was normal to make some mistakes, and Chen Zeping and I have been very uncomfortable in our hearts over the years, and you have to make us feel guilty for a lifetime, are you willing to forgive us......

"What are you talking about?" Tong Tong interrupted him: "Regarding that phone call seven years ago, I have indeed been regretting it, and I have already reflected on it, and all the mistakes are actually my fault. If I wasn't playful, I wouldn't have missed that call anyway......"

Tong Tong said again: "Last night was the Midyear Festival, and I saw you and Uncle Sun burning paper. Uncle Sun said, you also burned paper for Teacher Meng. For seven years, you insisted on burning paper for her...... Do you know how touched I am? Forget it, I won't say those sensual words in front of you. ”

Sun Chengcai was still indignant just now, and when he heard him say this, he immediately lost his temper. Tong Tong took a big sip of wine and said: "In the past seven years, I really don't have anything to say, just study, start a business, and take the civil service exam. As a result, after working for a few days, something happened that made me depressed...... I'm still on indefinite suspension. These things are still internal secrets, and I really can't tell you!"

Chen Zeping glared at Sun Chengcai resentfully, complaining that he was wrong to blame Tong Tong. Tong Tong continued: "I will tell you about the failure of the business. The most important thing right now is to tell you that you are indeed my best friends, and that will not change. ”
