"According to you, doesn't it mean that the poor can't have children?" I chewed on the spicy strips and looked at Wu Dong.

"It's not that you can't ask for it. Wu Dong squinted his eyes, looked up at the dark night sky, and said in a dark voice, "Do you want to see your child bring two cans of pickles a week, run far away every time he eats, and huddle in the corner to eat, afraid of being seen?"

I wanted to take another sip of wine, but when I heard that, the bottle went down again.

What Wu Dong said is true, what should have existed in his father's generation in the sixties and seventies was really staged in him, in junior high school, every time he went home, Wu Dong would bring two cans of pickles to school.

A jar of dried radish, a jar of pickles.

From the first to the third year of junior high school, even the jars containing these two pickles were not changed.

"Chen Jin, I am very grateful to you, because at that time you often took me to your house for dinner, it was the first time I ate beef, how could I still have such delicious meat at that time?" Wu Dong said to me, "In the three years of junior high school, the only thing that can make me happy is to go to your house to eat." ”

"Because I can taste the meat and even the seafood when I go to your house, these things are even happier for me than I am in the rankings, and I really appreciate you. ”

"Don't, don't say that, I'm also hungry for your pickles, just thinking about repaying the favor. I said.

"Hehe, I know you are kind, very righteous, and very caring for other people's face. Wu Dong touched one with me, raised his head and took a big sip, and talked more, "It's because of you that I recognize you as a friend, you may not know that after four years of college, there is no one who can really make me Wu Dong feel qualified to be my friend." ”

"Those people are either utilitarian or tired, but you are different, you make me feel guilty, to be honest, Chen Jin, I am very angry with you. ”

"Angry with me?" I licked the wine stain off my lips.

"When I was in junior high school, you took the initiative to talk to me and asked me to give you some pickles in the jar, and you said that you hadn't eaten it and wanted to taste it. "Wu Dongdao.

"Your parents' pickles taste so good. I said.

"It's really good, but the meals are all these, and when there are only these, do you know what it's like?" Wu Dong laughed at himself, and said with some sadness, "Actually, this is not the most uncomfortable, the most uncomfortable thing is the eyes of those people, when you watch others holding more than two yuan, one meat and two vegetables, or even two meat and two vegetarian meals passing by you, and then inadvertently glancing at you, it can really kill people." ”

"Do you think too much?" I said, "maybe others are just curious to look at it." ”

Wu Dong smiled: "Chen Jin, you said that if the child is born and faces such a life, do you still want a child?"

I wanted to say that I would still want it, because happiness has nothing to do with money, but as soon as the words came to my mouth and I swallowed it back, I remembered Chen Ke and Chen Le.

The two of them are now with Tong Wangjun, isn't it because I have no money that I will be like this?

"Congratulations, you've finally lived up to your expectations. I digressed from the subject.

"No, that's not enough, I'm only in a situation where I can afford to eat something, and I won't be in a situation where I can't afford to eat something. Wu Dong shook the wine bottle in his hand, "It's still far from my goal." ”

Wu Dong and I chatted and drank at the same time, and after drinking three bottles of liquor, we opened the beer again.

"Chen Jin, you listen to my advice, no matter what happens, you must not give up making money, when you are rich enough, all problems will no longer be problems, and they will be solved. Wu Dong's tongue was a little bigger, "I know that your state today is not right, there must be something in your heart, but I don't want to say it." It doesn't matter, if you don't want to say it, I'll drink with you, and when you want to say it, I'll listen to you. ”

"No matter when, you are my brother, I also hope that you will treat me as a brother, don't see me, I am just angry with you for this, there is something hidden in my heart, I always refuse to say it, and I refuse to ask for help. ”

Wu Dong babbled, and finally buried his head in his knees, muttering, he didn't know what he was talking about, and he couldn't hear a word clearly.

I held the can, the cold touch made my heart still a little sober, and Wu Dong's words kept circling in my head.

Why the hell am I the way I am?

Without a daughter-in-law, the child was also taken away.

In fact, it really has something to do with money, and it has something to do with my lack of progress, if I have an achievement like Wu Dong and can buy a car independently, Chen Ke and Chen Le will not be taken away by Tong Wangjun.

Maybe, Tong Wangjun won't divorce me.

The consequence of all this is just because I am not motivated.

I'm to blame.

Looking at Wu Dong on the side, he was no longer good, I originally wanted to find him to accompany him to drink, but now I am not drunk, he is drunk instead, it seems that he needs to numb himself with alcohol more than me.

A doubt suddenly flashed in my heart, to achieve the current achievement, is Wu Dong happy?

It was getting darker and darker, the wind was blowing, the lights on the campus were extinguished one after another, and in the distance in the dormitory building, there were still a few dim lights reflected through the windows.

My head was spinning and I was a little dizzy.

A beam of light shone from a distance, shook past my face, and after a few seconds, it turned around and hit me in the face, and my eyes narrowed.

Lightheaded.

"What for?" someone shouted.

When the wine came up, I muttered, and then I collapsed to the ground, my body swaying, and making unconscious sounds.

The light was getting brighter and brighter, I couldn't open my eyes, someone was shaking my body, and I couldn't respond more.

Eventually, I didn't know anything and fell asleep.

This sleep, very stable, nothing in my head.

Chen Ke, Chen Le, Tong Wangjun, Qian, etc., are gone, you don't have to think about anything, your body is very comfortable.

I don't know how long I slept, and when I opened my eyes again, it was because my mouth was dry.

Shaking his head, this is not my home, nor is it a hospital, it is a bedroom.

There was a cup of boiling water on the bedside table next to the bed, I picked it up and looked at it, and took a small sip, it was a little cool, but there was no problem, I drank it all.

This is Wudong's home?

I got out of bed and looked left and right.

But Wu Dong was also drunk yesterday, stronger than me, how did he get me back?

The door slowly opened with his body, and a man walked in, still holding a basin of water in his hand.

When I saw this person, I was stunned: "Tang Wan, why are you here?"

Tang Wan glanced up at me and brought the basin in front of me: "Wipe your face yourself." ”

I glanced at the basin and said, "It's okay, no." ”

"It's all smelling of alcohol, wipe it off. Tang Wan insisted, rubbed the towel and wrung it out for me.

I took it, wiped it on my face twice, and suddenly came to my senses: "This is your house?"

"Otherwise, who do you think it is?" Tang Wan replied to me.

I was shocked again.

Unexpectedly, Tang Wan, a woman, actually bought a house in the city, only me, nothing, nothing.

"Why am I here with you?" After a pause, I suppressed the loss in my heart, "What about Wu Dong, is he okay?"

"You two are so amazing, you actually went to school to drink, can you drink in that place?" Tang Wan glanced at me, her expression was a little complicated, and I actually saw a trace of tenderness in her gaze.

I drank and misunderstood her last time, how did she look at me weirdly?

"The outside of No. 1 Middle School has changed so much, the familiar alleys are gone, and he and I bought some things to go to the school. I said, "Is he alright?"

"It's okay, Zhou Kai took him back. Tang Wan said, picked up the basin, "You go rinse your mouth." ”

Following Tang Wan and going out, I found that Tang Wan's house was really big, with Chinese decoration style.

On the dining table, breakfast was served.

When I went to the bathroom, there were already toiletries on the countertop, all of which were new.

"After washing, come out and eat something. Tang Wan said outside.

Out of the bathroom, Tang Wan was dismantling the breakfast.

"No need, you can eat, I'll go back. "I don't know why, with Tang Wan, it makes me a little embarrassed, "By the way, where did you put my coat?" ”

"Can't you go after eating, are you in such a hurry to go back, are you worried that your daughter-in-law at home will misunderstand?" Tang Wan's movements in her hand stopped, and she glanced at me.

"No, she wouldn't get me wrong. I shook my head.

Divorced, and Tang Wan has a partner, how can she misunderstand me?

"Then she's so virtuous. Tang Wan would be wrong, "Okay, you go back first, I'll eat alone." You threw up yesterday and your coat got dirty, I washed it for you and hung it on the balcony, I'll send it to you in two days. ”

"If you find it inconvenient, I'll give it to Wu Dong and let him give it to you. ”

"Don't bother, I'll bring it back later. I said, glancing at the dining table, hesitated, but sat down, "I'll finish eating with you before leaving." ”
