Chapter 8: Drunken Proposal
When I came home from work and called to tell me that my mother was not going home for dinner, I was scolded by her, I listened patiently, hung up the phone, and came to the barbecue restaurant in a hurry.
Chen Lan hadn't come yet, so I ordered food and found a window seat to sit down and wait for him.
Two aunts who bought vegetables sat on the steps outside the window, chatting.
"Your son is so promising, he was admitted to such a good university, and when he graduates, you will have a good life. ”
"But no, now I admit it, besides, it's a famous university, not comparable to those pheasant universities, and the tuition is not expensive, my son's annual tuition and living expenses are mixed together, more than 10,000 yuan is enough. ”
"Is it okay for your clothing store to move over there?"
"It's better than here, where people live are rich, and they don't have to bargain for things. As the saying goes, people move living trees and move dead, and if you know this, you should change your store as soon as possible. ”
……
Chen Lan walked in, saw me, and waved at me with a smile.
I smiled back, a little reluctantly.
"Did you order? I remember that you like to eat baked crispy bones, order a few more skewers, I invite you." "He sat down across from me and pushed the menu in front of me.
"I've already ordered it, I don't know if it's to your taste, what you like to eat, I forgot. I whispered.
"It doesn't matter, I'll eat whatever you eat, then I'll order you ten skewers of roasted crispy bones alone. He beckoned to the waiter.
"Chen Lan, college tuition is very expensive, isn't it? Is the money for you enough? I pay my salary, if it's not enough, I'll lend you some more?" I asked, opening a bottle of beer, pouring him a glass.
"Well, it's expensive, more than 20,000 a year, fortunately, I've been going out to work part-time, and my mother didn't give me enough money to pay for tuition, and I didn't dare to tell her. I can only hold on alone!" Chen Lan's eyes moved to the window.
The two aunts on the steps had already gotten up and left, staggering away.
My heart moved, a little ashamed of my own darkness, just now I heard the conversation between his mother and a friend, I thought he cheated me out of money, but I didn't expect that he just felt sorry for his mother's hard work.
"In the future, you don't have to fight by yourself, tell me, it's better for two people to figure out a way together than for you to die alone. I laughed.
"Xiaobei, it's good to have you. He raised his glass and drank it down, and I followed his posture and drank the wine in my glass.
The two of us drank six bottles of beer, and it seemed that I drank them, but I only remember that he persuaded me to drink one by one, and persuaded me to drink them all, as if I couldn't drink enough, so much wine I drank, I was drunk into mud, and in the end, I even forgot who I was, and I was all broken.
When I woke up, it was early in the morning, lying in my own bed, and my mother was lying on the edge of the bed and asleep.
I rolled over and woke her up, and she stood up and gave me a slap in the face, which made my ears ring.
"Shameless dead girl, drunk like that, was sent back by a male classmate!One more time, I'll break your leg believe it or not!" she scolded me loudly.
I rubbed my aching head and tried to remember what had happened last night, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember.
"Can you still go to work today? I can't go and ask for leave, why did you raise such a bunch of uneasy things!" my mother scolded me and walked out of the room.
My second sister waited for her to walk out of the door, poked her head out of the bed above, stretched out her hand to draw circles on her face, and laughed at me: "Sister, you are really ashamed of this wine, you have to wear a ring in your hand and insist on wearing it on someone's hand, and you have to put it on your ring finger, saying that she is proposing to someone, is that man your boyfriend? Why haven't you heard about it? When did you start falling in love?"
"Did you put the ring on him?" I asked her, jumping to my feet.
