Saying goes

The prodigal son did not change his money.

Since Ren Jianxian woke up in the middle of the night, he really hasn't touched anything serious like gambling.

Instead, he spends time at home with his mother every day, or takes her out for a walk and shopping.

Let the old people enjoy the joy of family for a while.

The recent experience and perception really made him regret what he had done, and he was even more guilty about it.

I feel sincerely sad and glad that I have only lost my way in the past half of my life.

I am glad that I was able to walk on the right path when my mother was still alive and was able to provide for her in old age.

Although he didn't have much money, he couldn't take his mother to many farther, and buy many good things.

But his heart and performance really made Aunt Meng very happy.

I often sigh that even if I die now, I have no regrets.

When he heard his mother say this, Ren Jianxian was even more sour in his heart, and he was determined not to live up to the expectations of his relatives.

Looking back on the thirty or forty years of his life, he realized that he had never been with his mother like he is now.

In front of his father, he never even had a chance to change.

Thinking of this, he was ashamed and ashamed in his heart, and he could only secretly swear that he must reform himself in the future and support the elderly well.

After learning that his mother wanted to sell the house in the city and return to his hometown to settle down, he also agreed.

After all, he has lived in Rongcheng for so many years, but there is nothing really worthy of his nostalgia, and he has never had a full-time business life when he grows so big.

After returning to my hometown with my mother, I can find a job, settle down, and start a new life.

Whether it's a waiter or going to work in the factory, as long as he can be by his old mother's side, this is the only thing he cares about now.

He knew that his mother was old and wanted to see him on the right path, and he wanted to see himself settle down, inherit the incense of his family, and hug his grandson.

But for so many years, I have not been angry, I don't even have a serious job, and I still talk about marrying a wife, having children, and starting a family.

But now, when everything is settled, I can let the old mother get her wish.

Everything will be fine, he thought.

Recently, Ren Jianxian has been busy looking for an agent to deal with the sale of the house.

After all, my mother is old, and she is the only pillar of the family, so she should do everything by herself.

Although he had already come out, the matter spread in the circle of friends in the gambling game, and many people came to him and wanted to continue gambling, but he made various excuses and rejected them one by one.

There are also people who want to find themselves out to get together, drink and chat, but their purpose is basically related to those things, so basically most of the invitations are rejected by him.

But there are still individual invitations, and it's really hard to refuse.

If the relationship is average, if you refuse, you will refuse, and it doesn't matter if you don't give face, after all, you won't see each other again. But sometimes, some people are really hard to refuse.

The word "affection" often involves a lot, Chinese people have a good face, owe others favors, if you don't pay it back, it will be really embarrassing, especially in the circle that pays attention to credit.

For example, this friend who has been contacting him now has helped Ren Jianxian a lot.

If the other party now finds himself to help, then he really has no reason to refuse at all.

What's more, people don't want him to help, but to see themselves.

So when that old friend invited him out for a drink twice or three times, Ren Jianxian really couldn't refuse again.

After all, they are old friends who have lost money and squatted in the game together, and he once helped Ren Jianxian when he had no money.

When he first came out a few days ago, he sent a text message to himself, saying that he wanted to go out to gather when he was free, which happened to be the night when he "hit the ghost".

However, it happened that the ghost wanted to steal something at that time, and then he was frightened again, so he didn't reply to him in time.

However, thinking of the experience of that day, Ren Jianxian is still a little lucky, if it weren't for what happened that day, it's really hard to say whether he can wake up now, and it is even very likely that he will still be the same ghost.

But fortunately, I realized that I had lost my way.

Woe and blessing depend on blessing and misfortune lurk.

When he came back to his senses, he refused the invitation with an excuse, but he found it again in the past two days.

At first, he continued to shirk himself, but after he started with "Do you look down on my brother?" After this kind of words blocked his mouth, Ren Jianxian had no choice but to go to the appointment.

After all, money is easy to borrow, but it is difficult to repay favors.

At nine o'clock in the evening,

Ren Jianxian came to the agreed food stall, Zhen Youcai was already waiting for him there, a man who was only a few years older than Ren Jianxian.

He sat there, with a well-proportioned figure and a mediocre appearance, with thick lips and squinted eyes, and his face should have looked quite kind.

Seeing Ren Jianxian coming, Zhen Youcai immediately stretched out his hand and greeted, "Yo, brother is here, sit down." ”

"Brother Cai." Ren Jianxian pulled out a stool and sat down.

"Brother, smoke."

"Thank you, Brother Cai." Ren Jianxian stretched out his hand to take it, and immediately took out his own lighter and lit it for him.

"Okay." Zhen Youcai held a cigarette in one hand and made a wind shield with the other.

After the two of them lit the fire, Ren Jianxian put the lighter on the table.

Zhen Youcai took a deep puff of cigarette, pretending to be displeased, and his already small eyes narrowed even smaller.

"I said brother, you're not kind!"

"What's the matter, Brother Cai." Ren Jianxian scratched his head and said.

"It's so hard to ask you out for a drink and a chat."

"What's the matter, Brother Cai."

Zhen Youcai leaned on the back of the chair, tilted his face, and smoked,

"I look at you, you just look down on my brother."

"No, Brother Cai!" Hearing this, Ren Jianxian said a little anxiously.

"Seeing that my brother is too bad, he doesn't want to deal with me very much."

"Ouch, Brother Cai, what you said, why don't I kneel down and kowtow to you? I really don't! ”

"Really, isn't it?" Zhen Youcai turned his head and looked at him.

"Not really!" Ren Jianxian looked sincere.

"Then ...... you" Zhen Youcai leaned forward, "Is there any way to make a fortune, so you just want to get rich?" ”

"No, no......" Ren Jianxian hurriedly waved his hand, "How can it." ”

"That's not necessarily, if you have a way, don't forget my brother and me."

"Don't dare, don't dare," Ren Jianxian apologized again, "Brother Cai, I'm really sorry, it's not that I don't come out to drink with you, it's really that there are some things to deal with at home recently, and I can't help it, so I rejected you last time, it's me who is wrong, it's me who is wrong, I'll ask for this meal tonight, it's not for you." ”

"Look down on my brother, don't you? I please, I please. Zhen Youcai's eyes widened.

"Alright then, thank you, Brother Cai."

"This is my brother!"

At this time, the food stall owner brought the prepared dishes and barbecue, "Come on, use it slowly." ”

"Okay, thank you boss," Zhen Youcai beckoned to the boss with one hand, "Let's have a box of Budweiser first, ice." ”

"Yes, okay, you wait."

The boss immediately brought a box of Budweiser, "The brothers are eating and drinking." ”

"Good work."

"You're so kind." The owner left briskly and there were plenty of guests.

Ren Jianxian took out the beer, pried open the bottle cap, filled it with Zhen Youcai, and then poured it for himself.

Zhen Youcai held a cigarette in one hand and raised a wine glass with the other.

"Brother go one."

Ren Jianxian raised his glass with both hands in return, "Brother Cai." ”

Drink it all.

"Ah...... Readily. ”

Zhen Youcai wiped his mouth, took the last puff of cigarette, stepped on the cigarette butt still under his feet, and filled himself again.

"Eat, brother."

"Okay, Brother Cai."

The two of them drank one cup after another, eating barbecue, drinking for more than ten rounds, and chatting while drinking.

At first, I thought it was an illusion, but after chatting and chatting, Zhen Youcai found that Ren Jianxian in front of him seemed to be a little different from before.

"Brother."

"What's the matter, Brother Cai."

"Are you having any difficulties?"

"Nope."

"Why is it gone, brother, I don't know you yet? Where were you like this before? ”

Ren Jianxian was noncommittal, he had indeed changed a lot compared to before, not only his concepts, but also his external words and deeds had become introverted.

"If you have any difficulties, just tell my brother, and the brother who can help you will try to help you."

"Not really, Brother Cai."

"Since you can't trust my brother, then forget it." Zhen Youcai raised his glass to drink, put down the cup after drinking it all, and leaned back on the back of the chair.

"Brother, I still have to work so hard."

sighed,

"Alas......"

Ren Jianxian's eyes showed a look of struggle,

"Actually......"

"Huh?" Zhen Youcai looked at Ren Jianxian opposite.

He seemed to have made up his mind, "Brother Cai, I have decided not to gamble in the future......"

"Huh!?" Zhen Youcai's eyes widened, and he sat up straight, quite surprised.

He knew very well that the man in front of him was really gambling harder than himself, and today he actually told himself that he didn't gamble?

That's really an old sow going up to the tree, and the mouse is the best man for the cat.

-.

"Why?" Zhen Youcai didn't believe it.

"I used to be ignorant, I didn't read well, I didn't look for a job, I was in the casino all day long, which disappointed my parents, my mother had to go out to work to earn money at such an old age, and I even made my dad angry ......"

The wine was up, and when he said this, Ren Jianxian's eyes instantly turned red,

"But now I'm sensible, I didn't have the opportunity to apologize to my dad and admit my mistakes, but my mom is still there, so now I want to earn money and support her old man."

Ren Jianxian looked at Zhen Youcai with firm eyes,

"You know what? Brother Cai? ”

Zhen Youcai nodded slowly,

"I thought you really had some way to make a fortune."

"Ouch! Brother Cai, it's really not! Don't you believe me, Brother Cai? ”

It seems that Zhen Youcai is about to cry if he thinks this again.

"Good, good! No no! ”

Zhen Youcai hurriedly nodded,

"Okay then, it's good if you can have that idea."

finally knew why he rejected himself several times, otherwise he really thought that he had some way to make money and wanted to develop secretly.

But if it's like this, then it seems that this should be the last time the two of them will come out to drink, after all, from now on, they will be people on the two paths.

The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

From now on you will be a beloved, and I will still be a prodigal son.
