In my memory, the best and most beautiful time may be the day of Liu Dong and I on August 27, 2011. That day was probably the most we felt we had ever been together.

Brother Apologetic said: Brothers, you will never be able to get together.

I don't know how to answer.

On that day, Liu Dong returned from Shaanxi Iron Courtyard to this small county town that belonged to our first memories. With his family, with the girl. Qiang came back from Guangdong, with his family, and rubbed it. Brother Apologetic came back from school, with his family, me.

At that time, the weather in October was pleasant, neither hot nor cold. I'm naturally in a good mood. That afternoon, I swapped out my most energetic outfit from the dry cleaners. Since I was in high school, I rarely went home, and I brought two sets of clothes, a plain black tracksuit and a plain black casual suit. Take a break to the dry cleaners every week to change out of the outfit, then put on the outfit, and so on. After a long time, the boss was very talkative and threatened to recognize me as his godson, but I didn't agree, because he couldn't let me wash clothes for free, and I didn't do the business of losing money.

At that time, there was no money, so I lived in a small hostel for dozens of dollars a night. Even the money for the birthday dinner is saved for two weeks' living expenses, but it is happy, poor and happy, and it is also happy.

I saw Liu Dong walking out of the food street, and next to me was my sister-in-law and girl, she looked at me with a smile and said: Xu Shuang, sister-in-law wishes you a happy birthday. I'll ask your brother to bring you the birthday present I gave you and keep it in my bag.

Me: Okay, thank you, sister-in-law.

Then behind them were Brother Qiang and my sister-in-law Qiang, the two of them looked sneaky, and they didn't know what they were planning.

looked at Brother Apologetic again, and talked to Liu Dong with a cheap smile: Brother Dong is here, I haven't seen you for a long time, come on, shake hands.

Then Liu Dong also wore a casual suit with a pink cap (I said he pretended to be tender, he said it was personality, in fact, I want to say more like the rural non-mainstream. ), looked at Brother Apologetic with a wicked smile, and then asked me: Cool, you just tell my brother, did this bastard bully you again at school?

I pretended to be very aggrieved, and almost cried, and then nodded and pretended to be scared and said, "No,,, no."

Then I saw Liu Dong pinching Brother Apology's neck and saying: Come on, come on, let's chat, tell me how you bullied my brother.

Then Brother Apologetic looked at him: Big brother, listen to me, it's all a misunderstanding.

After speaking, he didn't forget to glare at me fiercely.

I hurriedly pointed to Brother Apologetic and said, "Brother, you see, he is still threatening me."

Then Brother Apologize ran in front, Liu Dong chased behind, a group of us laughed recklessly in the back, and in the sunset, the shadow of a group of us was long.

I'm sorry, but that's the most impressive picture I can remember and think of over the years. At that moment, the sun was shining all over the land near the end of the evening, and people were coming and going on the roadside, and the traffic was busy. We are just a few insignificant people among these thousands of people, we are so ordinary, so ordinary that we are thrown into the sea of people, and no one takes a second look. But at that moment, it is our positive youth, our youth without regrets, our arrogant youth, our youthful vitality, and our youth that no longer exists.

So sometimes, I always fantasize in my mind, one day, a few of us, dressed neatly, walking in the sunset, Liu Dong was bragging to me, I listened to a serious and adoring face, and whispered on the side that Liu Dong was a pretending coercive, and Liu Dong didn't bother to quarrel with him, because every time he couldn't say it was strong, and he couldn't beat him, so there was no other way, Brother Sorry looked at me and Liu Dong viciously behind us, and gritted his teeth. In the back were the girls we each brought, walking side by side, talking and laughing, chatting about the troubles between us, and laughing from time to time. We had no destination, so we walked and walked all the time, with the glow behind us, full of spirits and spotless, as if we had never been stained by this dust. Then we each lit a cigarette and shouted and laughed uncontrollably in the crowd. Don't ask where you're going tomorrow, when we'll meet again, or if there's anything troublesome. So happy, so carefree.

That day, I accidentally drank a lot of alcohol. In fact, my friends know that I am the kind of player who blushes with a bottle of beer and has a thick neck, and sleeps directly on the spot with two bottles, and the amount of alcohol is really bad. In fact, it's not a question of whether you can practice or not, it's just a matter of the body, and you really can't drink it. Therefore, except for the occasion of general and special importance, I basically don't drink a drop of alcohol, and occasionally drink a sip or two is not in the way, and those who have a better relationship never persuade me to drink, and directly serve me a drink.

Later, when I came back to the hotel, my sister-in-law took out the birthday gift for me and said: Come, sister-in-law gave you, I didn't give him a day's birthday, what's the matter, be happy.

I proudly opened it, and it turned out to be the lighter I had liked for a long time. Then he played with his hand and said to Liu Dong: See, you have a birthday present.

Liu Dong's face was indignant: Stepping on a horse, don't show off anymore, I don't have anything, you give me a gift next year, take it and get out.

I agreed: Okay, okay, I'll give you a gift next year to ensure that you are satisfied.

It's a pity that since then, we haven't celebrated our birthdays together, and every time I think of these things, I feel quite sorry in my heart. And then we all changed dramatically. In the second year, I ran away from school and went to society, and Brother Apologetic fell into the study pile, forced him to go to work, and then there was no news, while Liu Dong went to school in Shaanxi Iron Academy. The four of them rarely have contact, and it can basically be said that they have broken contact. Qiang and Crushing broke up, Liu Dong and the same girl also broke up, Brother Sorry is always so thunderous, and I am wandering, floating wherever I am, running all over the cities of Shanxi Province and Jiangsu Province in turn. Find your dreams, chase them all the way, and then drop more memories along the way.

It wasn't until later, when we were in touch with each other, that we knew that we had gone our separate ways, Liu Dong went to Shaoguan, Qiang was still floating, Brother Apologetic went to Nanchang, doing business while going to school, and I went to school again. At this time, we realized that people are the same people, but they are no longer more difficult to see, no longer so carefree, no longer so unscrupulous. Our youth has gone far, we have to worry about how to earn money faster, we have to worry about which girl to marry and live, we have to worry about the health of our parents, there are too many burdens waiting for us to carry.

Sister-in-law, that is, the lighter that the girl gave me, I used it for a long time, until I lost it in a car, I was crazy and looked for a long time at home and didn't find it, my friend said I didn't have to, I lost it, I didn't explain it, because he didn't understand. I ran to the store, bought the exact same one, and carved my cool character with a knife as before, and felt that it was too new, and it was uncomfortable to use, so I tried my best to throw it on the ground and polish it with sandpaper, just to make it the same as before, although it was old, but it was very meaningful. Until that year, she quarreled with Chen in Xi'an, and she fell downstairs in a fit of anger and shattered into parts. I almost got into a fight with her, but later, after listening to my explanation, she felt very upset, so she bought me another one, a more expensive and delicate one. What she didn't know, however, was that along with that lighter shattered there were memories of me. It's like I wear a suit myself, I'm very energetic and handsome, but I rarely wear it now. At that time, my girlfriend tried on clothes for me in the store and saw me wearing a suit, so she insisted on buying one for me. I said, let's not wear it, it's all memories, and it's awkwardly dressed. So much so that when my brother was in college, I gave him my first dress and wore it.

There are things in his personality that I have very similar, such as habits, and we are just as good as habits. is so stubborn, so stubborn that every time I go to the same restaurant to eat, sit at the same table, order the same dish, and even hope that the people around me have not changed, they are still the same people.

It's just that we all know that it's impossible to be there, the days are over, you are reluctant, you cry, you toss, the past is the past, and you can't come back. It's just that he is still like that, buried in my heart, taking root, growing again, and then indispensable. He has been in my life, in my heart, and has never left. I said, what you insist on is also what I want to achieve, I may not be able to catch up with your height, but just one point, a brother is a brother, and a brother is still that brother. It never changed, well,,, never!
