Before Christmas Eve 2018, I always thought that one day I would become a person who could make a small difference, and I could hold an exhibition of art that was not so shabby, and I could sell it for 18,000 yuan with a few strokes. If the ideal is a fat pig with a wide body, the reality is that of a man's leftover bones, without oil and water, and covered with hara. After graduating and mixing in a state-owned enterprise for three years, one of the few opportunities to use a paintbrush is to help the children of the eldest sisters in the finance department make a few hand-copied newspapers. A few times I touched the paintbrush, and I was almost instigated by the remaining little unwillingly to drop the resignation report on the old fritter table in the personnel department, but it was always a little bit worse.

With the clock at midnight tonight, there are a few dry peanuts, and I chew between my teeth what can still be called ideal, and it will be silently thrown into my toilet with the undigested residue of those peanuts tomorrow morning, and from then on with my passers-by.

At the end of Christmas Eve, listening to the first Merry Christmas around me, everyone sang a lively happy birthday song for me, I blew out the candles in front of me, and got ready to welcome my 27 years old, 27 years old with nothing.

As soon as the candle was extinguished, Tang Jibei was the first to pick up a slap of cream and exhale it on my face, and suddenly the right side of his face was greasy and sticky. I was just about to open my mouth to denounce this mentally unsound 205, when I received another cream slap on the left side of my face.

"Hey, hey, it's almost there," Fang Chaomu grabbed Shan Shan's hand that was still covered with cream, and handed me a few tissues, "Wipe it, don't pull your face, blame you for being immature at the beginning, and making these two hundred and five friends." ”

Tang Jibei hid behind Jian Ming and was so happy that he couldn't spend, "I'm punishing you for the masses of the people, whoever asked you to be half an hour late for makeup, you girls are hypocritical." After that, he licked the cream on his fingers, ignoring everyone's disgusted expressions, "Don't fight back, we are also helping you retain a little passion burning at the root of your youthful tail!"

"Your youth is only the tail of your child! Sister, I am eighteen years old on every birthday!" I crumpled up the used tissue and threw it hard to hit him in the face. The paper towel bounced to the ground and rolled a few times, stopping at the old crooked feet, he happened to carry a box of nine degrees in, saw the cake on the table that had been unrecognizable, and gave Tang Jibei a kick in the ass, "Blow out the candles, you don't wait for me to forget it, and spoil the cake!" After that, he took a closer look at the cake and muttered can this still be eaten.

Jian Ming stood up, took the beer from his hand, put it behind his back, took out six bottles and handed them to everyone one by one. When it was handed to Gu Wen, she hurriedly retracted her body back into the chair and waved her hand. The old crooked took the wine from Jian Ming's hand and said with a smile: "Give me both of them, I will drink them, and my daughter-in-law can't drink them." ”

"You can pull it down," Tang Jibei snatched a bottle from the old crooked hand and stood in front of Gu Wen, "Among the female classmates present, your daughter-in-law can drink the best, and when you meet your daughter-in-law at the wine table, you can only admit it." Today's joy is coming, it is the full moon of Qili's son, and it is still the birthday, what calf are you protecting here. "After that, I took the corkscrew and lifted the lid. "Go to the side!" Gu Wen rolled her eyelids and scolded Tang Jibei, and slapped him on the hand holding the bottle opener, Tang Jibei was in pain, let go of the wine bottle, Gu Wen snatched it and handed it to the old crooked man beside him, turned his head and looked at Tang Jibei contemptuously: "If I hadn't been pregnant, I would have drunk you and used kelp silk as chopsticks today!"

"Ha?!" As soon as she finished speaking, the other four of us turned their heads and looked at the old crooked one after another, "What's the matter, buddy, you don't like to be a father before you buy a ticket?" The old crooked didn't plan to care about his words, and smiled a little shyly, "When you become a father, you become a father, haha! It's not an accident, I bought a supermarket discount cheaply, it seems that the bargain is really unreliable." Gu Wen's face flushed suddenly, and she stabbed the old crooked with her elbow. She only got to know us after she got along with the old crooked, and she didn't get used to the way we talked to each other without concealment. The old crooked understanding, and immediately made up for it and said: "But don't worry, although we didn't make it in time to buy tickets, but we resolutely don't evade tickets! We have both decided, on the 27th of next month, we will do it at our home, it's a weekend, what's the matter, can you all come back?"

"I don't have to go back on weekends," Shan Shan raised his glass to everyone proudly, "Come! A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops will meet you!"

A cold sensation churned down our throats and into our stomachs, and we were all shivering with a chilled beer at room temperature in December. "Qi Li shouldn't be able to go," I hurriedly picked up a string of roasted tendons to soothe my frozen numb tongue, chewing something and speaking a little slurred. "It took a lot of effort to give birth to our eldest nephew, and I haven't been confined enough, so when the time comes, I will squeak with her, and the notice will be given. The old crooked nodded, put a chopstick eggplant into Gu Wen's bowl, and sighed, "It's also her stomach that can't wait, we are in such a hurry, many of our classmates can't come, and a few of you are willing to put down what you are doing." Oh, Qiu Yun can also come, he works on our side, and the time does not conflict......" Before the words were finished, Shan Shan raised his leg and kicked the old crooked stool, the old crooked didn't sit firmly, and slammed his butt to the ground, grinning in pain.

I can see their little movements. The old crooked stood up and looked at me embarrassedly, the plastic wrapping film of disposable chopsticks was still stuck on his buttocks, Gu Wen patted him for a while, and whispered a few words to complain to him.

My body froze, and my mind was gently teased by some subtle strange feeling, but for a moment, it disappeared again. "You can't do it," I squeezed a hearty laugh out of my throat, my voice sounding a little astringent, "nervous, what can't be mentioned here, it's been two years, and it's still the same as when we first broke up, and I can't mention this and that." I raised a glass of wine and stood up, "I did it, you are free, congratulations to Lao Crooked and Wen'er on the completion of two major life events, and also celebrate, it is our group of people who have completed all these years of youth together." After saying that, I raised my head and drank it all, my throat was tightened by the beer, and a sour astringency rushed from my throat to my head, and a warm heat instantly rose in my eyes.

Through the fog in front of me, I watched them drain as I drank. Fang Chaomu next to me took the lead in drinking, put down the wine glass and patted me on the shoulder, I turned my head dizzily and saw him smiling at me, from my angle of 1.65 meters, I could just see his nose hair, I snorted and laughed, the more I looked at it, the funnier it became, and the more I laughed, the more I couldn't hold it. Everyone watched me lean forward and backward like a fool, although it was inexplicable, but they couldn't help but be infected by my appearance, and they followed together hahaha.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning after eating and drinking, we came out of the barbecue restaurant drunk, and were shivering by the cold air, I realized that I seemed to have left my coat in the private room, and was just about to turn around and go in, Fang Chaomu trotted out of the store, with my scarf and coat hanging on his arm, and walked up to me and threw it into my arms, "Wear it yourself, like an imbecile, things fall wherever they go." I pursed my lips, slowly put on my clothes, wrapped my scarf around my neck, and waved at everyone on tiptoe. "Bye-bye everyone, go back and wash and sleep, and when you wake up, it's a new day of exploitation!" I staggered under my feet, Fang Chaomu pulled me and grabbed my arm in disgust. Shan Shan was also drunk, she was famous for pouring a cup, and now she was hiding her head in a simple coat and muttering, and I leaned in to hear that she was muttering to the waiter for another box.

I sent Shan Shan and Jian Ming to the taxi, and Lao Crooked and Gu Wen also drove away, and they didn't live by the way, so I insisted on not letting them send me. Fang Chaomu and I were left, and we walked a hundred meters along the road, but he still dragged my arm with disgust, and his body was half a meter away from me. I was angry in my heart, what's the matter, I didn't vomit and I didn't pee, you carried me like garbage! So he shook off his hand, "Aren't you driving, hurry up, call a substitute driver." I'll take a taxi and leave. ”

After speaking, he was about to jump forward, but before he could take half a step, he was carried back by the collar. "Stop for a while, I've called the substitute driver, and you'll have to lose money if you vomit in a taxi like this." I'll send you, and I won't lose money by spitting out the money in my car. ”

This man is unreliable, I thought to myself.

Fang Chaomu is unreliable, and the substitute driver he is looking for is not much better, starting from Ximen to brake sharply all the way, and the beer is turning in my stomach. I leaned my head against my seat, my eyes closed, trying to press back what was about to pour out of my throat. I fell asleep unconsciously.

I was already at home when I was woken up by the alarm clock, and the window was not yet transparent, and the sunlight through the night was covered with a layer of haze. I'm still wearing the same clothes I wore last night, with my coat and scarf hanging from the back of my bedside chair. Last night's memories were broken from the moment I got in the car, and the left and right Chaomu didn't have any thoughts about me, so I didn't bother to think about what happened. When my mouth was dry, I turned over and got up, and there was a glass of water that had cooled down at the head of the bed, and I didn't care if it hurt my stomach, so I drank it all in one go.

The water was the same as last night's wine, and the ice man shivered, and his mind was instantly cleared up. I was dazed in my head, but suddenly I heard a voice that seemed to pass through my memory from afar, who had told me it a long time ago? The voice was like a layer of fog, and I couldn't hear whose voice it was.

"After all this time, do you still care so much?"
