This is the first time I took the initiative to meet my old classmates in other places, about half a year before Xiaohu got married, when you interacted with the circle of friends, you talked about it word by word, and learned that Xiaohu had just returned to China and had a vacation of one or two months.

And I was catching up with the depressed period of the end of a relationship, he suggested going to Zaozhuang to find him, first, to relax his heart, second, to give him the opportunity to do the friendship of the landlord, third, the previous class reunions were to go to the city where I worked, where ripe and raisin-like, it was better to come to his hometown, and he did not appreciate the scenery of his hometown after the construction of the new city.

Taking the train to Zaozhuang on a Friday night, I was originally a very homely person, but I had to travel because of work, and the drama of life seemed to lie in it

"Liking" is difficult for strongmen, the more you don't like something, the more you will arrange something. If there is no invisible hand manipulating it, I categorically do not believe it.

I plan to find a place to stay when I arrive at night, and then I can spend two days with my old classmates, and inform Xiaohu in advance of the next day's meeting time.

After work, I rushed to the train station and arrived at Zaozhuang at about half past ten in the night, but Xiaohu's call arrived before leaving the station: "You turn right after coming out of the station, there is a small supermarket over there, I am waiting for you at the door." "I was very moved, but I blamed him for being too enthusiastic, and he couldn't rest in the middle of the night.

Xiaohu led me 500 meters, saying that he had already arranged a place to live, and he could register his ID card...... After settling down, he insisted on going home after a few short sentences, and I struggled to stay: "I've been sleeping in the same room for 4 years, and it's not bad for this night, so let's make do with it." Xiaohu smiled very easily: "I snore, don't affect sleep, we have time, my home is not far from here, and I will be home in 15 minutes by taxi." After repeatedly telling me to lock the door and take care of my belongings, he hurried away.

I made an appointment to meet at 8:30 in the morning, and at about 8:10 I received a call from Huzi, who had already bought a local specialty snack dish pancakes and waited at the door of the hotel, confirming that I had gotten up and washed up, and then told me that I could open the door and let him in.

While I was eating, he arranged for today's itinerary. Zaozhuang is a small place, and there is not much to do, and since I prefer water over mountains, he proposed to visit the neighboring Weishan County.

Old friends who have been reunited after a long absence, the most talked about is nothing more than the interesting things they experienced together in the past, and they arrived at their destination in laughter.

I've always been a loner, and I like to think crankily in front of the wide water, and many times I just feel sorry for myself, so that some negative emotions in my heart can be vented.

However, with friends around, the atmosphere of watching the water is much lighter. Xiaohu seemed to suddenly remember something, took out foreign banknotes and coins from his wallet, that was when he just went to work abroad I told him, hoping that he could bring me back some coins and banknotes for me to play with, a look at the face value is very terrifying, banknotes denomination 10000, 5000, 2000 coins are worth 500, 200, 100.

When I saw that the denomination was so big, I didn't stretch out my hand, and asked timidly: "What is the exchange ratio with the RMB?" I just want a few small coins, if it's too valuable, I'll give you RMB to exchange, otherwise I won't be happy. Xiaohu said: "Exchange 80:1, you can take it if you don't have much money." Then the conversation changed,

"I bought some mangoes at the airport before I returned to China and spent tens of thousands, what a fool." Then I sincerely wanted to give him RMB, but he sincerely didn't want it, and the two of us sincerely pushed back for a few rounds, and in the end, I accepted Xiaohu's gift for nothing.

With the help of foreign currency, Xiaohu brought the topic to what he saw and heard abroad and the customs. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the situation of being alone in a foreign land is not optimistic, what he said is how many years of foreign life extracted a few small things, and the other parts are filled with boredom and boredom, not enough for outsiders, in retrospect, most of the men who wander alone are good news to their family and friends, that is also exclusive to men's thoughtfulness and tenderness, but at that time I did not understand, I listened to him with relish about foreign customs, I think it is very interesting and yearning.

When I graduated from university, the requirements for us to work abroad were firstly major, and secondly, we had to pass level 6 in English, so I asked him: "You have been there for so long, can you export English?" Xiaohu smiled embarrassedly: "No, I also thought that I could practice speaking by the way, but when I got there, I found out that the official language is French, and the locals speak the local language, and we basically communicate with them by analogy...... "Lunch was solved on the island, and I ate a meal of so-called pure natural green food.

I consulted him about his salary, and I was very impressed but felt that my fragile body might not be able to overcome the harsh natural environment, so I gave up.

Then there is that I am very conflicted, I want to go to the provincial capital city for development, but I have not skipped the slot, and my work ability is also very average, and I am worried.

Xiaohu was surprised: "I just heard that you are frustrated, but I didn't expect that there are so many problems in your career?" What do you think of it yourself? "I told him honestly that I felt that I had no future in my original workplace, the work was comfortable but the salary was fixed, the upside was limited, I had no passion, if I could change the environment, even if the salary was similar, I would be willing to try.

Xiaohu was silent for a moment, looked into the distance and said deeply: "Listen to my brother's words, people move to live, trees move to death." You just need to believe this sentence, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will reach the top of your life all of a sudden, but since the current situation is disgusted, there is no point in staying any longer. Think about it, think about it, and act on it. No matter how difficult it is, can you be sad that I go to a foreign environment and start from scratch? After all, after you change places, you are close to home, and the people there still speak Chinese. "We haven't talked about my job since then, but as soon as I got back, I started talking about my resignation without any hesitation.

The next day, we went to hang out near the monument to the railway guerrillas, looked at the monuments, calligraphy and paintings of our revolutionary predecessors for several years, and participated in a live CS game.

In the afternoon, I went to KTV and sang a few old songs that I often sang in college, Xiaohu wanted to call a few town store sisters to help the fun, but I sternly refused, in fact, he didn't have any experience, just pretended that he was not a serious person, I guess I really called the girl, the scene will be very embarrassing for a while, after all, although I am evil in my heart, my face is thin and ruthless, and I do it blatantly

"Bad things" (at least in my opinion, bad behavior) are hard. After that, it was really boring, we made an appointment, and then Xiaohu and I went to the Internet café, gathered on the Internet to open a dark room to play games, and played games that had entered the end of the road and were red and purple in my college days...... Many times, I take it for granted to enjoy the enthusiasm of my friends, but I don't take the initiative to maintain rare friendships, including Xiaohu, college roommates and classmates who are like brothers in college are estranged after graduation.

I was already indifferent in temperament, and I never felt that there was anything to be sad about parting. But today, ten years after graduation, when I think back to my college classmates, I feel some details that I haven't paid attention to, and even their words and sentences are full of warmth.

Maybe that's why I miss those friends at night.
