Thinking of the advice of his classmates at that time, Liu Hongtao regretted a little, and it was obviously impossible to go to study again, at this time, his family began to persuade Liu Hongtao, so that Liu Hongtao felt at ease, and told Liu Hongtao about a family matter, wanting Liu Hongtao to get married early, which is like this in the countryside, if you don't graduate from college, you generally start a family early.

However, Liu Hongtao was a little unwilling, thinking that it was too unseemly to start a family like this, so Liu Hongtao was determined to do a career. With limited jobs in Handan City, Liu Hong came to Yanjing with the determination to achieve great things. But when he came to Yanjing, Liu Hongtao realized that in this society, education still determines everything, and Liu Hongtao, who was looking for a job in Yanjing, ran into walls everywhere. So Liu Hongtao can only start from the most basic couriers and food delivery people.

After working in Yanjing for a few years, Liu Hongtao knew that it was not easy to get ahead in Yanjing, Long Qi had no education, at this time Liu Hongtao thought of starting a family, and in order to earn some money by working in Yanjing, Liu Hongtao felt that it was not a problem to go home and find a beautiful daughter-in-law.

Then Liu Hongtao also felt that he should find a daughter-in-law, but when he returned to his hometown again, Liu Hongtao was completely dumbfounded. Danshi has risen from the initial bride price of 10,000 yuan to more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and it is still required to remain motionless. Even so, it's hard to find a sister.

Only then did Liu Hongtao realize what a fucked thing it was for his parents to let him get married, and he didn't get married. The little he earned in Yanjing, not only did he not have the slightest advantage, but he couldn't even afford to pay the bride price for his marriage, not including the car and house.

Then, under the arrangement of his parents, Liu Hongtao began the blind date. What makes Liu Hongtao even more speechless is that those who are beautiful have higher requirements for boys, but you are less than 1.5 meters tall and weigh 160 pounds, and you still pick a hair!

But his parents said in Liu Hongtao's ear every day that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest. In any case, I have to find a daughter-in-law, and even my parents have moved the idea of buying a daughter-in-law for Liu Hongtao directly, thinking that his heart is higher than the sky, but in the end he didn't think that his life was thinner than paper, and finally ended up like this, Liu Hongtao was really unwilling.

But the basic situation of Dan City is like this, but fortunately, Liu Hongtao's point is not too back, after the parents begged the grandfather to tell the grandmother to beg the matchmaker, to give gifts to the matchmaker, in the end Liu Hongtao did not end up with the end of buying a daughter-in-law, but the woman's requirements are not low, she has to have a house in Dan City, and she has to have a car of 100,000 yuan.

In the end, the parents scraped together to buy a house, and then the money Liu Hongtao earned in the past few days was used to buy a car and decorate it, as for the daughter-in-law's family requirements, they had no choice but to use usurious goods.

The situation like Liu Hongtao is good, Lin Yang even heard that there are families, and the usury goods of marrying daughters-in-law alone are as high as hundreds of thousands, and Danshi is a third-tier city, with a per capita salary of less than 3,000, so this atmosphere has indeed dragged most of the families who marry daughters-in-law across.

After receiving Liu Hongtao's invitation, Lin Yang was ready to go back to Dan City for a gathering, and at the same time, his sister Lin Wanyu had not returned home for a long time. Lin Yang is also preparing to accompany his parents for a few days in his hometown in Danshi.

The wedding day was January 16th, Liu Hongtao's wedding was held in Dan City, for Liu Hongtao's on-site wedding, Lin Yang was not ready to participate, and it was also a little inappropriate to participate in Liu Hongtao's wedding as Lin Yang, which was easy to cause riots. So the day before the wedding, Lin Yang was going to get together and give Liu Hongtao a big gift. Lin Yang's idea was recognized by other classmates, and they all wanted to congratulate Liu Hongtao in advance, and by the way, they also came to a small class reunion.

On the evening of January 15, at the Merchants Hotel in Danshi, Liu Hongtao held a small party for his wedding. At that time, all the students from Class 5 of the third year of high school also arrived.

Goodbye Liu Hongtao, the high-spirited image at that time no longer exists, replaced by a sad face, Liu Hongtao is full of helplessness for the uncertainty of the future. Compared with other students, Liu Hongtao is also a relatively bleak one because he dropped out of school halfway.

Liu Hongtao's academic performance was not bad at that time, if he sprinted, it may not be impossible to go to a good university, but he believed in the village's "study is useless" words, and believed that the classmates who were not as good as Liu Hongtao's grades at that time insisted on finding a more decent job after graduation, everyone felt a little sorry for Liu Hongtao.

However, seeing that his classmates were better than himself, Liu Hongtao didn't complain.

Then there is the blessing of the students to Liu Hongtao.

"Happy newlywed, Hong Tao!"

"Happy newlywed, Hong Tao!"

......

The blessings of the classmates were all delivered, and at this time, everyone gave their share of the money, and Lin Yang also prepared a red envelope for Liu Hongtao.

Listening to the blessings of his classmates, Liu Hongtao said: "Tomorrow is the day of my wedding, and today we will not get drunk and not return! ”

"Okay, we're not going to get drunk today. Yu Yishan said.

Pang Long said: "Come, Hong Tao will show us a picture of the bride." “

Listening to Pang Long's words, Liu Hongtao then took out a photo of his daughter-in-law, and then Pang Long realized that he had said a little too much, the height and body ratio of the woman in the photo were very incongruous, and her skin was a little dark.

Pang Shan was a little embarrassed, but Liu Hongtao teased: "Isn't it the same when you take off your clothes and turn off the lights?"

Liu Hongtao's words made the embarrassing atmosphere just now completely gone, in fact, what can Liu Hongtao say, his parents have moved the idea of buying him a daughter-in-law, what else does he have to choose? And maybe if he misses this, Liu Hongtao is really going to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

Then the students started to sit in eight seats, and everyone did not dare to say more about Liu Hongtao's situation, and did not discuss what car and what house, and how much money he earned in a year. Instead, they all talked about some family life and interesting things at school.

At that time, everyone naively thought that as long as you work hard, you will get ahead, as long as you pay, you will definitely be rewarded, and there are too many choices in life, but later everyone found out how unrealistic all this is. People may have made a choice in the past few years, but it depends on your efforts in the past few years.

Lin Yang didn't care about it today, but chatted with his classmates, playing guessing boxing and drinking like he did in high school.

However, looking at the classmates at the party, Lin Yang seemed to find that there was one person missing, how could the kid who was inseparable from Liu Hongtao disappear.

Just as Lin Yang was about to ask a question, another classmate said: "Lao Liu, why didn't that Yang Ash come?" At that time, you were like wearing a pair of pants every day, and now he doesn't come when you get married, this is too uninteresting!

Wang Qingfa pulled the classmate's clothes and feet in time.

Liu Hongtao said: "Yang Shen is sick and recuperating, so he can't come over today." When he recovers, he should be able to meet everyone again!"

From Liu Hongtao's eyes, Lin Yang obviously felt that Liu Hongtao was avoiding something, but since Liu Hongtao didn't want to say it, Lin Yang didn't ask much. And when he was in school, Lin Yang remembered that he didn't deal with Yang Ash many times, and the relationship was average.

"Let's all have a drink, in the future, we will get together once less once, cherish each other in front of us!" Wang Qingfa said.

At Wang Qingfa's initiative, everyone raised their glasses.

Drinking wine, everyone chatted about the fun of going to school, and they were so happy.

"Do you remember, at that time, our English teacher gave you the nickname Huhu Pig because you slept in class. ”

"You and I can't get any better there, didn't you see that Xiao Huangshu was discovered by the director at that time, and later criticized you in front of the whole school assembly?"

"Do you remember Yang Ash, who ran to the girls' dormitory with a guitar to confess, and was then given a basin of cold water by the senior sister. ”

"It's a pity that Yang Ash didn't come! That guy has the most light ideas. ”

......

After drinking at the China Merchants Hotel, Liu Hongtao insisted on taking everyone to sing K, considering that tomorrow was Liu Hongtao's happy day, the classmates asked Liu Hongtao to go back early to rest. Then Liu Youtao agreed to meet again when he had time.

After Liu Hongtao left, Yu Yishan suggested: "Lin Yang, why don't we go and sing, I really want to hear you sing Chinese-style songs live!"

Listening to Yu Yishan's words, Lin Yang said: "Fatty, let me sing, you can't afford that money!"

After the ridicule, Lin Yang followed a few better classmates to the KTV next to him.

Lin Yang fulfilled Yu Yishan's wish. sang his favorite "Thousands of Miles Away" in the "Chinese Wind" album to Yu Yishan.

Listening to Lin Yang's "Thousands of Miles Away", Yu Yishan also joked: "Lao Lin, although your singing skills are impeccable, how do I feel that the version you sang with Pang Baogui is still a little behind?"

Regarding Yu Yishan's words, Lin Yang explained: "So I gave the copyright of this solo to Pang Baogui! Fatty, if you really like Pang Baogui's solo version, you can watch it at the Spring Festival Gala, Pang Baogui's solo song has been approved by CCTV." “

"Haha, that's great, Lao Lin, you're a little self-aware. Yu Yishan said.

While talking and laughing with Yu Yishan, Lin Yang suddenly thought of what happened to Yang Ash just now, and Lin Yang asked: "Fat man, I see that Liu Hongtao was a little unhappy about Yang Ash just now, what happened to Yang Ash." ”

Listening to Lin Yang's words, Pang Long was a little surprised: "Why Lao Lin, don't you know anything about Yang Ash? But yes, you are so busy, you definitely don't have time to pay attention to these things." ”

Pang Long's words made Lin Yang even more puzzled, and Lin Yang asked, "What happened to this Yang Ash?"

Then Pang Long told Lin Yang about Yang Ash.

Yang Ash walked out of school with Liu Hongtao at that time, but Yang Ash studied a construction secondary school at the time, although the major he studied was useless, but Yang Ash's mind was more active, and after graduation, he followed his uncle to do the construction site, and then contracted some small work, after several years of hard work, he also bought a car and a house in Danshi with his own efforts.

Just when everyone thought that Yang Ash's career would go to the next level, more than a year ago, Yang Ash was diagnosed with leukemia, and then spent all his savings in order to see a doctor, and then sold the car.

Some time ago, my fat man, Pang Long, and Xie Ming all went to see Yang Ash, and Yang Ash on the hospital bed really experienced what it means to be warm and cold in the world.

After Yang Ash made his fortune, he pulled some buddies who had a good relationship with the village, and then Yang Ash's engineering work was also tried to let the villagers do it for them, in order to take care of the villagers, Yang Ash gave them a salary that was dozens of yuan higher than the market price. And some of Yang Gray's buddies, relying on Yang Gray's relationship, can also do some small work. Life is also a good life.

In fact, Yang Ash didn't have to go to the road of selling cars and houses, after Yang Ash got sick, he happened to take over a project job that he didn't do, this project work has a good living water, Yang Ash thought that it was not a problem to rely on the project to see a doctor, after all, there are so many buddies under his hands.

After Yang Ash fell ill, Yang Ash was a small person beside him, so he swore that Yang Ash would go to recuperate with peace of mind, and he would take care of the project. Yang Ash thought about what he didn't understand, Fa Xiao could ask him, just that he could recuperate with peace of mind, so he handed over the project to Fa Xiao, but Fa Xiao took most of the profits after completing the project, not to mention, and owed a large number of suppliers money, at that time, Fa Xiao was using Yang Ash's reputation to pay for the goods, so the money of these suppliers must be borne by Yang Ash.

And Fa Xiao was ashamed to say: "Anyway, Yang Ash won't live for long, and after escaping this time, Yang Ash will be at ease again after he leaves." Such a blow made Yang's condition worsen for a while. The body that could have lasted for several years was suddenly admitted to the intensive care unit.

And other Fa Xiao also began to compete with Yang Ash, and even Yang Ash received the job, Fa Xiao trotted to the partner to say that Yang Ash would not live long, and the cooperation with Yang Ash would definitely be lost, which also led to the plummeting of Yang Ash's career and the physical and mental blows.

After paying off the supplier's money, Yang Ash didn't have much savings, so he had to start selling houses and cars, and some people who were good friends with Yang Ash at that time also alienated Yang Ash because Yang Ash's illness was a bottomless pit.

Even some of the earliest people in Yang Ash's hometown who borrowed Yang Ash's money to see a doctor, were afraid that Yang Ash would not be able to pay it back, so they also went to Yang Ash's house to collect debts. Yang Ash can be said to have been hit hard.

After listening to Pang Long's words, Lin Yang asked, "Then how is Yang Ash's condition now?"

Pang Shan said: "It's not good, the mood is very unstable, and Yang Ash also refused our help, saying that we were hypocritical, and told us not to see him again." Don't bother him anymore. “

The fat man Yu Yishan said: "These people around him have hit him too hard, and he has seen through the warmth and coldness of the world. In fact, if he found a suitable bone marrow transplant, his illness would be basically fine, but now he seems to have given up hope of life. “

Listening to Yang Gray's matter, Lin Yang was indeed a little helpless, this is the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

......

(I remembered the hard blind date life of the orangutan, a fat man with an ugly appearance of 200 pounds didn't take a fancy to the orangutan, it was really a bitter tear)
