Chapter Ninety-Three: The Story of Yuzu
I don't know when snowflakes have fluttered outside, Chen Luobin called Yan Yeguang and asked for a leave of absence for himself and Yuzu.
Chen Luobin chose a seemingly simple wine shed on the side of the road nearby. It's not that Chen Luobin doesn't want to go to a big hotel to drink, but in such a humble place, he can calm people's minds, and in those luxury hotels, Yuzu will definitely be a little restrained.
"Drink white, drink beer?" Chen Luobin asked, looking at Yuzu. Yuzu has lost a lot of weight in the past six months, if Chen Luobin hadn't inadvertently broken in, he really didn't know that Yuzu would have eaten hard steamed buns.
Yuzu's eyes flickered like the dim lights in the wine shed. He didn't look at Chen Luobin but lowered his head and said, "Beer, I don't drink liquor now." ”
"Boss, a bundle of beer!" Chen Luobin shouted.
Yuzu glanced at the other dishes on the table and swallowed in her throat. But when he raised his head and saw Chen Luobin's gaze, he lowered his head.
"Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, and two more home-cooked stir-fry from your store. By the way, a big bowl of egg soup. Chen Luobin handed the recipe to the waiter. The waiter took the written menu to the front desk and handed it to the owner of the wine shed.
"Abin, the two of us can't eat so many dishes. Yuzu whispered.
"If you can't eat, you won't eat, and I'm mainly drinking today. Chen Luobin said.
Yuzu sighed, he knew that if he didn't say what was on his mind today, Chen Luobin would not let him go, in fact, Yuzu also wanted to ask Chen Luobin for something. can have betrayed Chen Luobin once after receiving Hou Zhongqiu's money before, this heart disease made Yuzu always feel that he couldn't raise his head in front of Chen Luobin.
After the hot dishes were served one by one, Chen Luobin handed Yuzu a pair of chopsticks and said, "Eat brother, don't starve yourself." ”
Yuzu took the chopsticks, Chen Luobin said this, which made his heart let go a little, and Yuzu picked up the dish and ate it in a big gulp. Chen Luobin has eaten, he is not hungry. Chen Luobin looked at the grapefruit like a wolf swallowing the food, and felt a little sad. He knew that Yuzu's family was not good, and his parents came to the city from the countryside to work, and set up a stall on the side of the road to sell fried dough sticks in the morning. Yuzu's father has always been in poor health, and now he is sick in bed, so it can be said that the whole family is supported by his mother alone.
Chen Luobin picked up a bottle of beer and said to Yuzu: "Come and drink brother." ”
Yuzu lowered her lips with the back of her hand, looking at Chen Luobin's honest eyes, the corners of Yuzu's eyes moistened. After half a year of dating, Yuzu knew that Chen Luobin was a very straightforward person to his friends. Yuzu picked up the beer and collided with Chen Luobin's bottle.
Yuzu raised his head and took a sip of his wine until the foam in the bottle had bottomed out before he threw the empty bottle on the ground.
"Brother, eat some food. Don't drink on an empty stomach. Chen Luobin took some food and put it in the evening of grapefruit. A crystal tear slid down Yuzu's face.
Yuzu took two bites, picked up a bottle of wine and poured it into his stomach.
Yuzu was a little dizzy, in fact, he used to drink a lot, but Yuzu rarely drank again in the past six months. The personality has also become dull, like a river blocked by a dam after a rainstorm, and there is no gate to talk to.
When you are sad or sad, you often get drunk when you drink a little, which is not an alcohol reaction, but a thought of getting drunk. Yuzu drank two bottles of beer, her cheeks were already red, Yuzu looked at Chen Luobin, suddenly took his hand and said a little excitedly: "Good brother, thank you." ”
Chen Luobin clenched Yuzu's hand and said softly: "Yuzu, if you treat me as a brother, then you will tell the bitterness in your heart today." I didn't dare say how I could help you, but now it's different. ”
Yuzu silently picked up another bottle of beer, Chen Luobin also picked up the bottle, and the two of them touched it. Chen Luobin said: "Yuzu, you are free, I will drink it to the end." Saying that, Chen Luobin drank the beer in the bottle to the bottom. In his previous life, Chen Luobin often talked about business outside, and the amount of alcohol in his stomach was much larger than that of ordinary high school students. The entertainment in the shopping mall is nothing more than a wine gift. A businessman who doesn't drink alcohol is not a successful businessman.
Yuzu had an emotional expression on his face, and he drank the wine to the bottom, smashed the bottle to the ground, and fell to pieces, which frightened the owner of the wine shed. But seeing Chen Luobin, who was wearing sunglasses, and the grapefruit boss who was now a hooligan, he was silent, and he thought in his heart that these two would leave after eating.
"Abin, I'm sorry for you. Yuzu suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Luobin.
Chen Luobin was stunned, he just invited Yuzu to have a meal, what was there to be sorry for. Chen Luobin thought back to the past, but Yuzu never seemed to have done anything to be sorry for himself.
Yuzu looked at Chen Luobin's somewhat dazed expression, apologized, sat down, opened another bottle of wine, and said slowly: "Abin, do you remember the day we just came to the special training class to pay tuition this semester?"
Chen Luobin said: "Remember." ”
"I did something that day that was very sorry for you and Yang Manni. My family is in trouble and I can't afford to pay my tuition. When I was most anxious, Hou Zhongqiu came to me and said that he could give me money and help me pay my tuition. But only if I help him...... Spy on both of you. Yuzu gritted her teeth and said it anyway.
After Chen Luobin listened to Yuzu's words, he didn't have a straight face as Yuzu imagined. Chen Luobin patted Yuzu's shoulder and said: "It's all in the past, don't mention it, besides, I can only do this when I am desperate." ”
"But...... I betrayed my friend. Yuzu whispered.
Listening to Yuzu's words, Chen Luobin actually smiled: "Yes, you betrayed your friends, but you know guilt, pain, and remorse." This is much stronger than those snakes and scorpions that hide their fangs in their hearts forever. ”
As soon as the words changed, Chen Luobin did not continue to dwell on this issue, he looked at Yuzu and said solemnly: "Yuzu's words have come to this point, and there is no knot that cannot be untied." Can you tell me now why you're crying today, and if you're in trouble, I can help you if you say it. ”
Chen Luobin's eyes were very honest, and Yuzu seemed to have found the person he wanted to talk to. Tears poured down his eyes: "My dad...... He died. ”
Rao is such a calm person as Chen Luobin, and he was also deeply shocked after listening to Yuzu's words. My father is gone, and what a lot of pressure it is for a family.
However, Chen Luobin did not speak, he waited for Yuzu to continue.
"My dad passed away, and my mom was very sad, but the living have to live their lives, right? ......But at this point, Yuzu couldn't help crying loudly, and the drinkers in the wine shed looked at Yuzu and Chen Luobin as if they were nervous, but when they saw Chen Luobin moving the bench and about to stand up, they retracted their eyes again.
"However, when my mother went to the funeral home, the funeral home said that cremation alone costs 900 yuan, the cheapest urn costs 200 yuan, and if you find a mausoleum, it costs at least 3,000 yuan. Yuzu was already crying silently when he said this, Chen Luobin silently put his hand on Yuzu's shoulder, and wordless comfort can often bring warmth.
"These are not over, aren't you going to pay the tuition fees for the next semester in the past two days, and the family has already owed a lot of debts, and I can't take it out at all. Now when I go to borrow money from relatives and friends, everyone is avoiding my mother as if they are hiding from Ma Wen. I looked at my mother's haggard face and my heart was broken......"
As Chen Luobin, who has lost a loved one, can understand the pain and sadness of Yuzu. Chen Luobin opened his mouth and said, "How much does it cost in total?" I can give it to you. ”
As soon as Chen Luobin's words fell, Yuzu raised his head and was surprised with a faint hint of excitement: "Really?"
