Chapter 12: Pouring out sorrows
In a trance, Ling Li didn't know how she got home.
When she came back to her senses, she found that she was already sitting with her uncle at the small table on the far left of the small restaurant, drinking wine from the two plates of side dishes in front of her.
They drank the 38-degree Laojiao original liquor brought by relatives in their hometown, the degree is not high, the taste is mellow, the aftertaste is sweet and refreshing.
She really felt that borrowing wine to drown her sorrows was really a good way to escape, and she was dizzy with half a catty of wine, as if nothing mattered.
Such a difficult intellectual property case can make her turn over, and it will definitely get better and better in the future. However, I can bring a well-developed case to a dead end in just one morning, and I really have the ability to do it.
Ling Li shook her head and smiled bitterly, picked up the wine and poured it into her mouth, swallowing it with a grunt.
Zhang Shouzhen saw her one cup after another, not quite the same as usual, and was a little worried: "Xiaoli, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it going well at work? ”
Ling Li pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, shook her head again, and said, "Small problem, a little mistake, Master said a few words to me." ”
Zhang Shouzhen breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her: "How can people not make mistakes? Said that you are also good for you, Jinchuan is capable and motivated, has a good brain and can read, is only two years older than your cousin, and now buys a house for the family a year. You follow him to do a good job, learn more skills, and if you have a future in the future, even if I die immediately, I will have the face to see your underground parents. ”
Ling Li's head was a little dizzy, and when she saw her uncle's concerned expression, her heart was also warm.
She usually reported good news and not bad news, but this time she couldn't help but talk to her uncle about her troubles at work, although she downplayed the big mistake, but her uncle's care and persuasion still made her feel better.
Thinking of this, she smiled again and said to Zhang Shouzhen: "Don't worry, I will work hard, don't say anything about death or life is unlucky, you haven't enjoyed my blessings yet, you must wait!" ”
Zhang Shouzhen looked at Ling Li's red face because of the wine, her eyes were different from usual, and her face was full of childish smiles and childish words, and she couldn't help but think of what she looked like when she was a child.
When Ling Li was a child, she didn't go to the house for three days to uncover the tile, which is not at all the honest and dull appearance she is now.
There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune, this sentence of the ancients is really good.
He thought he would continue to live a step-by-step life for the rest of his life, because a layoff was completely turned upside down. And the once happy and prosperous Ling family, because of a bad fate, only the lonely seedling in front of them remained......
If there was no disaster, what would Ling Li be like now?
Zhang Shouzhen sighed, stretched out his hand to touch her head, and said slowly: "It's almost enough, this wine is delicious, but it has a lot of stamina." ”
Feeling the feeling of her uncle's rough hand touching her hair, Ling Li was in a trance, as if someone else had touched her head before?
But the memory began to blur, and I couldn't remember it even if I thought about it.
She propped her elbows on the table, propped up her crumbling head, and muttered to herself, "Who is it?" before she lay on the table, drunk and unconscious.
Zhang Shouzhen was also a little drunk, and pushed her a few times: "Xiaoli, don't sleep here, you'll catch a cold." ”
Ling Li was dazed and couldn't get up again.
Zhang Shouzhen called out to his wife, and was saying that he would put down his work and send Ling Li back to the upstairs room, but he didn't expect that there were guests at this time, and they were still regular customers who hadn't come for supper for several days.
He hurriedly stepped forward, with a smile on his face, and said, "You haven't been here for more than half a year, have you?" Why did you lose weight again? If you are busy with work, you should also pay attention to your body. ”
The man smiled and answered: "Retreat and cultivation for more than half a year, no, this has just been released." ”
He shrugged his nose and sniffed, and said, "Lao Zhang, you haven't drunk it yet?" ”
Zhang Shouzhen pouted in the direction where Ling Li was lying on her stomach: "My niece is here today, so she has to have a drink with me." The little girl was shallow, and she was already drunk into mud. ”
The guest glanced at Ling Li, who was drunk, and sat down on another table, smiling at Zhang Shouzhen: "There are a bunch of capitalists entertaining at night, and the table is full of things that can't be eaten, and the stomach is empty. I haven't eaten it for more than half a year, I miss your beef noodles, hurry up and give me a bowl. ”
Zhang Shouzhen replied loudly, "Huh", and then straightened his neck and shouted into the kitchen: "Old woman, a big bowl of beef noodles, add more celery and coriander, and don't want green onions." ”
After a pause, he added: "Add two more spoonfuls of beef, and the old guests are here." ”
It didn't take long for a large bowl of steaming beef noodles to come out of the kitchen, red soup, golden noodles, sprinkled with green celery and coriander leaves, drizzled with stewed soft braised beef and soup.
While eating, the guests chatted with Zhang Shouzhen.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Ling Li heard someone muttering as if chatting in her ear, and yelled impatiently: "It's noisy, do you want people to sleep?" ”
Zhang Shouzhen heard Ling Li muttering, walked over and pushed her funny: "Xiao Li, go back to the house and sleep." At night, when the wind is strong, you get drunk again, and if you are frightened by the wind for a while, you are afraid that you will vomit, and you are also prone to cold. ”
Ling Li raised her head and looked at her uncle, pouting: "Uncle, don't drive me away, I'm not drunk, I want to drink with you again!" ”
The guest who was eating noodles looked up and pushed his glasses, as if surprised.
looked at Ling Li's sleepy eyes again, and her voice seemed to be a little surprised: "It turned out to be you!" I almost don't recognize you without glasses. ”
Sleeping on his stomach just now, Ling Li's glasses were thrown aside, and when he heard this sound that seemed familiar, he squinted and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
The figure in front of him was so large that he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he only felt that he seemed to be a man with glasses, as if he was a little thin.
Then he said, "Are you a sloth?" ”
Ling Li was stunned for a moment and blinked: "Huh? ”
The voice from the other side came leisurely: "You squint at people, you really look like a sloth!" ”
Suddenly, a face popped up in his mind, coinciding with the figure in front of him, Ling Li gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "It turned out to be you scumbag!" ”
After saying that, he stood up, picked up the bench he was sitting on without hesitation, and swept it towards the man.
An hour later, Ling Li, who had been forcibly poured sobering soup, blinked at the person sitting across from her, thinking that she was still dreaming.
She rubbed her eyes again, shook her head desperately, and finally determined that the person in front of her with bruised and wet hair at the corners of her mouth was indeed Nan Zhiyi.
She covered her face in despair, not daring to look at him.
Nan Zhiyi stared at her for a while, with a rare anger in his voice: "Fan Mei, are you crazy?" I'm just saying hello to you, and you're going to pick up a stool and hit me, if I hadn't reacted quickly and dodged in time, wouldn't I have been crippled? ”
Zhang Shouzhen, who was sitting next to him, apologized in a melancholy voice: "I'm sorry, Xiao Li is drunk, you have a lot of adults, don't blame her." ”
Nan Zhiyi glared at her and said, "If you don't hit it, you won't say anything, and if you don't give me a punch, your teeth will almost be knocked out, let me tell you." ”
Under Nan Zhiyi's reminder, Ling Li gradually recalled the outrageous behavior when she was drunk just now, and her face was full of embarrassment. Well, it's true that she's done it too far.
Nan Zhiyi's sentence just now that she was like a sloth is exactly the same as what Sun Rui said back then. Because of this sentence, her QQ name has been "Yoyo Sloth" for many years.
At that time, I didn't wear glasses to see clearly, but I just felt that the voice was familiar, and with alcohol, I mistook Nan Zhiyi for that scumbag, and picked up the stool and went on. The stool missed, and she punched him in the face again.
Nan Zhiyi is still chattering about her crimes: "You said you would beat it, and after the fight, you still grabbed me and scolded me for some pornographic glasses?" Why was I, a five-good young man who sat upright, slandered by you? ”
angrily slammed the handkerchief wrapped in an egg in his hand to roll the wound: "Even if you slander, you can barely bear it." But after you scolded, you spit on me again, and before you finished spitting, you grabbed the beef noodles on the table and splashed me in the face. ”
Ling Li was stunned by what he said.
She drank the fragment, and she didn't remember it at all, so she turned her head to look at her uncle.
When I saw my uncle nodding slightly, his eyes were full of worry, and he suddenly felt that he had nothing to love. Oh my God, she actually got drunk and went crazy to Nan Zhiyi!
Nan Zhiyi finally gritted his teeth and concluded: "How much enmity and resentment do I have with you?" You do this to me? ”
Ling Li was almost buried to her knees by Nan Zhiyi, and the whole person shrank into the sofa, busy making amends: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm really drunk." ”
When he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Nan Zhiyi wearing his uncle's sweater and trousers. His clothes and pants are obviously a little small, the sleeves and trouser legs are only seven minutes long, and the hair is dripping and the corners of his mouth are bruised, his appearance is really funny.
Although Ling Li was sober at this time, the strength of the wine had not completely passed, and when she saw the scene that made people laugh, she suddenly got carried away and laughed out loud.
Nan Zhiyi gritted his back molars: "Fan girl, are you still smiling and coming out?" Do you know how much your spitting clothes are worth tonight? ”
When it came to money, Ling Li was excited, and the wine sobered up a little more.
In the vague memory just now, it seems that Nan Zhiyi is dressed like a dog, and that suit is not cheap.
Nan Zhiyi saw that she was finally a little scared, hehe laughed twice, and said slowly: "Today I need to pretend to be a ghost, so I borrowed my friend's clothes to support the scene, he has always been arrogant and lascivious, not worn by big brands." In this way, I asked him to send you the bill, which is estimated to make you reflect on it. ”
Ling Li gasped. Speaking of money, her straight spine seems to be only a compression fracture.
