Our shared frustrations, whining, and the same topics make a few of our best friends always like to get together on the weekend.

The people who are drinking at the table are people like us who are 30 to 50 years old, to be precise, men between 35 and 45 years old. Those young people disdain to fight for alcohol, although some of them have stepped into the society, but after all, they still have not really tasted the ups and downs of life, their wings are not yet fully plump, they are still hiding under the wings of their parents to enjoy the love and care given to them by their parents. There is an old saying that is this truth, "as long as he or she does not get married for a day, then he (she) is still a child", yes, since he is still a child, then what can he worry about, "one person is full, the whole family is not hungry". What they are most happy to do is to play and eat, watch movies, play games, read novels, karaoke halls, and eat junk fast food。。。。。。 It's rare to see young people gather in restaurants to drink, and even if they do meet once in a while, it's just that they use the money their parents give them to call a bunch of foxes and dogs to celebrate their birthdays. They rarely drink alcohol, but when they encounter this kind of birthday celebration, they sometimes get drunk, but such scenes are rare.

"Fifty know the destiny of heaven, sixty ears are obedient, seventy do what you want", those who know the destiny of heaven at the age of fifty or over fifty people, it is impossible to fight for wine, most of the life has come over, people's lives are almost stereotyped, children are older, and even their own children already have children, at this time men have looked down and accepted everything, more steady, and a little less impetuous, plus with the growth of age, physical health is not as good as a year, or know the destiny of heaven, health preservation is important, so men of this age rarely fight alcohol.

Almost all of the people who can really drink in restaurants are men between the ages of 30 and 50, or women. Men and women at this age are the most tired and bitter times in life, "When I hear about life, nine times out of ten I am sad; I heard about love, nine out of ten wounds", the sadness of work and life, the wounds of marriage and love, so that men and women in this age group have more or less encountered. At this time, no one can rely on men, women can not rely on them, the children are still young and need to be raised, the parents are old and need support, and they are the backbone in the unit, but the key is that such a backbone is often doing the most tiring work, and the corresponding rewards are often not proportional to his efforts, and even sometimes the fruits of their hard work will be stolen by others.

Men and women at this age are very similar to "Monkey King", they have a lot of skills, all the way for Tang Sheng to eliminate monsters and catch monsters, learn from the West, and make great contributions, but in the end they just ended up being punished by the master from time to time by reciting a tight mantra. And a few of our good partners belong to the backbone of the unit, with the most classes, with the graduation class of the school honor, so tired and tired, but the year-end evaluation can't get us first, and it has nothing to do with us to promote the title, let alone go away and fly high to find another job.

The principals with high gold content were left by the principal himself or secretly stuffed with his cronies, and only those principals with low gold content would get the pretentious announcement at the all-teacher meeting. By the time people needed these materials for the selection of professional titles, we could hardly get a decent certificate of honor, but the principal and a few of his cronies were able to come up with piles of certificates, which were so many that they could not be used.

We are "Monkey King", looking at the gray chain of interests woven by some colleagues around us because of the gray relationship network, a few of our good partners are even more indignant and angry when they talk about this matter, but there is really no way to change their fate, a few good partners can only laugh at themselves and raise their glasses to punish themselves with a glass of wine.

That year, our unit assigned two new secondary school teachers and students, one boy and one girl, who were classmates when they were middle school teachers, and now they are assigned to the same school at the same time. However, just because this daughter's father is one of our cadres here, her daughter went to school with pay for less than a month, went to a university for a bachelor's degree, and after a few years, this girl graduated from college and became a teacher in a secondary technical school, poor this boy, although he has now entered middle age, he still stays in this small school as a primary school teacher. This kind of divine operation is really more difficult for us than to ascend to the sky.

It all became a reason for men of our age to fight for alcohol. lamented the tiredness of his work, lamented the various unfairness he encountered, and lamented the meager level of salary。。。。。。

The original intention of people to invent wages is to support their families, but our meager wages are only enough to "make ends meet", and they cannot meet our needs of "supporting our families" at all. Therefore, two of my good partners are in the same situation as mine, that is, they rented a storefront room for their wives to do some small business to supplement the family, and several good partners' wives went to work in a nearby factory, and only one of my good partners' wives had a formal job, and his family's economic situation was better and more stable than ours.

At the beginning, we also wanted to find a girl with a formal job as a wife, but it is located near the countryside and is actually a rural primary school, and there are almost no factories and mines nearby, even if there are, these girls don't look down on us at all, they don't like the countryside, and it can even be said that they hate the countryside, not to mention that their wages were generally twice as high as ours at that time, or even two or three times higher. There are female colleagues in the unit, but they would rather go to the city to find an ordinary worker with an asymmetrical level of education and knowledge, and they will never be willing to marry us teachers, because our wages are really too low, and the salary and bonus income of these ordinary workers at that time was at least twice that of us, and the seven or eight female teachers in our school at that time were almost all married to these ordinary workers in the city.

The unsatisfactory work and the pressure of life make us urgently need to use alcohol to anesthetize ourselves and release ourselves. In addition, men and women in our age group are also going through an extraordinary period of marriage tests, but almost all divorcees are at this age.

Single and divorced women need alcohol, and single and divorced men need alcohol to anesthetize. I am one of those people in this situation, I look like a dog during the day, working to support the family, laundry and cooking, taking care of housework, but I will eventually be no match for the loneliness and loneliness of the slow long night, although I am not afraid of loneliness, I have also adapted to loneliness, but in the dead of night, the occasional depression will make me feel like a lonely ghost, in the dark night, let my soul come out to wander.

And when those single fathers or single mothers have a difficult life with a child waiting to be fed, I think it is one of the greatest sufferings of all human suffering. I don't know what society is like now. Nowadays, people have no faith, lose moral constraints, become impetuous, restless and extremely irresponsible, and finally suffer their children and harm themselves, what is this for? But people are still like moths to fire, and they have no shame.

One of my neighbors, when his wife gave birth to a daughter for her, left the child and ran away, and no one knows where it went. A very quiet little girl in our class also chose to divorce when her mother gave birth to her two or three months ago, and the child is now eleven or twelve years old, and has never seen her mother; A female colleague of mine, after giving birth to a child before taking maternity leave, her husband resolutely divorced her, and now this female colleague of mine has to take the child while teaching the students。。。。。。

It is said that "husband and wife are as heavy as a mountain", but when you meet such a other half, when you divorce, if he (she) can do not bite you back, and then kick you, it is already the biggest "grace like a mountain".

Is all this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? Is it a good fate or a debt? Is it the creation of fate or the devil's joke?

People, how many good deeds do you have to accumulate in your previous life so that you can spend this life safely and skillfully! Perhaps no one can live this life skillfully and safely, and perhaps it is for this reason that the Creator came up with the idea of creating a special substance such as wine to help people relieve their suffering.
