After sitting in the coffee shop for a while, I finally paid the bill, and then went to the restaurant where I used to have a few drinks with Fang Yuan after working overtime at the Polaroid Department Store, and this small restaurant is the old place we tacitly know, in the past few years, we have talked a lot about the unsatisfactory life and workplace here, and often remember the ease and freedom in the university, and then throw a lot of love into the wine in exchange for the same amount of pleasure.

I came to this small restaurant at about the same time as Fang Yuan, because the alley was very narrow, avoiding the three-wheeled transport car coming in the opposite direction, we had a lot of effort to park the car, he was in front, I was behind, and we got out of the car together, but didn't say anything, and walked side by side towards the restaurant.

The proprietress is still the same as before, she likes to sit at the door at noon to attract customers for the restaurant, and when she saw us coming, she said with emotion: "You two boys really haven't been here for a while!" ”

Fang Yuan and I were almost the same excuse, and replied at the same time, "I've been a little busy lately!" ”

The proprietress looked at the car we parked on the opposite side and said, "I don't think you two are really busy, but now you are mixed up, but you can't remember our small restaurant." ”

"No, no, isn't this happening again today!"

The proprietress smiled and said, "Seeing that the two of you are a coward, I am also happy for you in my heart, but I am happy for you in my heart, come today, can I pay back the previous credit?" ”

Fang Yuan and I glanced at each other, we did often take credit here, but we couldn't remember what year and month it was, which account She's was, and who should have paid for this account in the first place.

The proprietress really took an account book, found our credit records, and handed it to us: "There are still three accounts that have not been cleared, a total of 266 yuan." ”

The proprietress is a good person, she didn't even mention this debt to us, until today I felt that Fang Yuan and I had a decent identity, so Fang Yuan and I were very guilty, and no matter who should have been treated, we took out our wallets from our pockets together, took out 300 yuan together, and said together: "No need to look for it"

The proprietress drew 100 yuan from me, and then 200 yuan from Fang Yuan, and said: "Now the money is worthless, it's not too much to charge you 300 yuan, and it's the same as before, Zhaoyang, this kid picks the door, and he really has no money, so he will collect 100 from Zhaoyang, and 200 from Fang Yuan, which is fair and just." ”

As he spoke, he took the rest of the money in our hands and said: "This other 300 yuan, even if it is the money for today's meal, Zhaoyang's car is A6, Fangyuan is A4, Zhaoyang is better, this time Zhaoyang will receive 200 yuan, 100 yuan, or fair and just." ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Auntie, you are really an understanding person!" ”

"Those who do small business, not shrewd, can earn 300 yuan, can eat the best meal at my place, just make the best meal for you, it is a farewell to you, I am afraid that I will not come to eat in my small restaurant in the future!"

I said, "Where are you talking about this, we have been thinking about your restaurant!" ”

"Then I'll test you two, you two are not allowed to look at the signboard next to you, tell me what the name of our restaurant is, I can't say it, I don't believe you have been thinking about it."

Fang Yuan and I just looked at each other, for a while, no one could say the name of the restaurant, took a step back, saw the signboard to attract customers, and then remembered that it was called "Huifang Restaurant", which was named after the proprietress by the owner who was the chef

At noon, there were no guests in the small restaurant, Fang Yuan and I sat in the old position and ate, the proprietress seemed to think that we would not come again, and surprisingly generously turned on the air conditioner, let us keep warm, and seemed to let us remember the "Huifang Hotel".

We replaced the wine with tea, and ate the most sumptuous meal we could get our hands on here, I filled Fang Yuan with a bowl of tofu soup and said, "Taste, the boss's craftsmanship seems to have improved compared to the beginning." ”

Fang Yuan took it from my hand, tasted it, just nodded, and did not comment in words, then threw me a cigarette, lit one himself, took a deep breath, and asked, "Zhaoyang, we have been brothers for so long, do you remember when you and I started to divide you and me?" ”

I was a little stunned by his question, and I didn't want to subjectively misinterpret his intention by asking, so I asked, "Why do you ask?" ”

"I remember you told me when I was in college, we are a handful of soil on the ground, you spit on a mouthful of saliva, I throw a little snot, mix and mix, stir and mix to make porcelain"

I nodded and said, "Our lives can only be spitting out saliva, throwing out snot, to stir and mix, we will not be able to make any noble porcelain, but we are porcelain, brothers!" ”

Fang Yuan took another puff of cigarette, seemed to hate the taste of tobacco, used his mouth and nose together, let the smoke disperse, he flicked the cigarette ash in his hand, and said to me: "Over the years, I have changed a lot, I seem to have everything, and I lack everything, so to survive in this world, I always can't find a sense of security, just like Mr. Mi, a sentence can end my hard work in the workplace However, I have no complaints about her, and I have no malice, because this is the law of survival." ”

I heard something from Fang Yuan's words, but I didn't interrupt, waiting for him to continue.

Fang Yuan took only two puffs of the cigarette, snuffed it out in the ashtray, and said: "But, no matter how it changes, you and I are still brothers mixed with snot and saliva, this is the root of my heart that I will never forget, so if you put a hundred and twenty hearts, no matter when, I will never forget that we are brothers, your position is my position."

After a short silence, he smiled and said, "Maybe twenty years later, you and I can still come to this Huifang Hotel, have a few drinks, and chatter!" ”

I looked around this hotel and didn't know if it would still exist after 20 years, but the atmosphere of our chat was a little lighter because of Fang Yuan's statement, and my purpose in looking for him was indeed to make this promise.

At the beginning, I tried my best to recommend him and Chen Jingming to Mi Cai, that is, I hope they can become Mi Cai's right-hand man, if Fang Yuan can also be like Chen Jingming, do his best to Mi Cai, it is also a kind of fulfillment for me.

"Zhaoyang, you and Mr. Mi also pay attention to it, if you make a person out of two families, a man and a woman, if you don't think I and Yan Yan are high-climbing, let's get married, with Mr. Mi's excellent genes, having a child must be great!"

"Okay, if we give birth to a daughter, full moon wine, you, the future father-in-law, will have to take it down."

"No problem." Fang Yuan said, raised his cup and replaced the wine with tea, and touched one with me.

We raised our heads and drank the tea that was already a little cold in the cup, and then looked at this "Huifang Hotel" together, maybe we all thought that in the future, the two families will have children, and they will bring their wives and children to this "Huifang Hotel" that has proved for us for many years.

Because it is a symbol, symbolizing that Fang Yuan and I were born from the grassroots, symbolizing that we are brothers who are noble and low

Farewell to Fang Yuan, I also said goodbye to a matter of heart, at present, it seems that Mi Cai's love xù is not too affected by the failure of Zhuomei's listing, I believe that with the support of the woman in red, she will quickly adjust her state, continue to control Zhuomei, lead Zhuomei to achieve a leap and our relationship will settle down.
