"Hello?" The phone rang a few times, and a somewhat lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Where is the cat?"

"Bar."

"Didn't come home?"

"There is no home."

"So, let's have dinner together in the evening, right? A group of us just had surgery, and we can get off work when we clean up, are we interested in celebrating the New Year with us? ”

Vivian thought for a while, "Okay, the bar hasn't been open for the past few days, I'm lying in bed every day and getting drunk and dreaming of death, how about it, do you want to come to the bar to eat shabu mutton?" ”

"Okay." I looked at the number of people, looked at the wound "1, 2, 3, 4........"

"You're still going to bring a class of people?" Vivien said over there.

"Almost, I grinned. There are really a lot of us. ”

"It doesn't matter, I prepared a lot of things this year, thinking that many friends would come to me, but because there was no one for the New Year, it was just right, you came to digest it."

"What do you need me to bring? I'll go to the supermarket to buy groceries, the department store at the intersection is open all year round, and I went there yesterday. ”

"I only have meat here, you see."

"Okay, then we'll see you later."

After hanging up the phone, I said excitedly to Lin Jia, "Go to her bar, there is mutton, let's go to the supermarket to see what we want to eat, let's buy some over." ”

"Cheng, wait a minute, you go first, I need to go to the ICU to explain the medicine to the doctor." Lin Jia said.

"You guys go, I'm old, I can't move anymore, I have to slow down this time to be so nervous about the operation, now I want to get out of the operation, smoke a cigarette and then go home and lie down." Dr. Zhao said to me while rubbing his scalp.

"Alright then, let's go." I don't feel very happy that there is one less person all of a sudden.

"Teacher Zhao." I didn't give up and shouted again, "You don't feel sorry?" Normally, how can a few of us get together to eat, you have to eat even if you go home and lie down, and the bar lets you smoke, what's the difference between smoking here and smoking there. When you go home when you're full, your sister-in-law won't worry about you anymore, and she won't have to get up to cook noodles for you. Don't you also have to go to the doctor's order, you go with Lin Jia. ”

"Haha, you're really ......" Dr. Zhao pointed at me with a disinfectant ring and said with a smile, "Cheng, I'll go over with Lin Jia later." ”

After we successfully sent the patient to the ICU, we hurriedly took a shower and changed clothes.

"Jingxin, hurry up. Yuanyuan and I are all right. ”

Jing Xin tied his hair and rushed to the door, "It's coming, it's coming, Haozi." ”

"Hurry up, no one is so slow with you?" Haozi appeared at the door with his hands in his pockets.

"Cut."

"Don't cut it, put on your shoes, the elevator has arrived." In this way, Jingxin's shoelaces were tied in the elevator, and the four of us went to the supermarket to buy groceries first, and then went to the bar, and Lin Jia and Dr. Zhao went to the ICU to wait for a while to come back because they still had to observe the patient's condition.

It wasn't snowing anymore, so we rushed into the supermarket before it closed, saying, "Hurry up, we're going to close earlier than usual today." "The waiter shouted at us at the door.

"Quick, greens, tofu, duck blood." Hiroko and I loaded things into the shopping cart.

"I still want to eat tofu skin, chrysanthemum." Jing Xin shouted in the back, the two of them grinded and chirped, fortunately, Haozi and I were faster.

After a while, everything was almost loaded, and the four of us walked towards the bar with a few bags of things.

"It's the first time the four of us have eaten together at this point." Haozi said to us, "We have been colleagues for so many years, except for big gatherings, there are too few small gatherings." ”

"After the operation, which of our people is not in a hurry to run home, we come every morning when we don't see the sun, and go back to the moon in the evening, if it weren't for the New Year, I don't think we would have had this little dinner."

"Yes." Haozi listened to my words and nodded.

"By the way, how did you know there was a bar here?" Haozi's face was full of questions: "Are you still coming to the bar?" ”

"Because the barmaid is a good friend of mine." Naturally, I wouldn't tell him that I came here to get drunk because of some sad matter, and Jing Xin drank too much last time, so naturally she wouldn't mention her past like this.

"Vivien, I'm coming." As soon as I got to the door, I yelled at the house.

Vivien's wooden door was plastered with new couplets and hung with red lanterns to complement her wooden door, and the door god on the door looked different from the ones printed in batches by the machines outside.

"Vivien.?" We went inside the bar and put our things down.

I reached out and lifted the curtain from the kitchen, and she was cooking lamb bone broth.

"Coming?" She squinted slightly, took a puff of her cigarette at me, and walked outside.

"Whew!" Haozi looked at Vivian and exclaimed, "So beautiful? ”

"Haha, I like to hear you say this, so I'll rush to this sentence and open you a bottle of good wine today." Vivien's thick curly hair was draped over her shoulders, parted in the middle, without heavy eye makeup, and she wore an exotic variegated patterned wool skirt with a black sweater on top of it, and a long dark green cloak draped over it.

"This is my colleague." I introduced like Vivian, "This is Jingxin, you've seen it, this is Yuanyuan, this is Haozi." ”

Everyone greeted each other politely.

"All the people who come to me are friends, don't be so restrained, sit down, I'm going to put the pot up now, Xia Fei, give me the dishes, let's go to the kitchen to deal with it, by the way, if you are bored." There are fireworks behind the bar, so you can go to the second floor or set off guns at the door. ”

"Really? And the cannon? Jing Xin instantly became excited when he heard it, "I haven't let it go for several years." ”

"Let's go." Vivien smiled at Jing Xin.

Jing Xin dragged Yuanyuan to set off the firecracker, Haozi herself may have been bored and joined the two of them instead, and Vivian and I were in the kitchen to deal with the dishes we had just bought.

Vivien unscrewed the speakers on the edge of the pool.

In the stereo, it was very appropriate to play "Wishing you prosperity, Wishing you prosperity." ”

"You still listen to songs like this?" I stacked the washed chrysanthemum neatly in a frame.

"It's so boring to be alone in the New Year." She smiled at me, revealing several neat, white teeth, Vivien always smoked, but she didn't see her teeth turned yellow by the smoke.

"Then you're not going home?"

"Where is home? Where is not home? I don't want to go anywhere when it's so cold, and if you hadn't come, I wouldn't have eaten this dinner, and I was lying upstairs very comfortably. ”

"You, you have to learn to get out of this alley."

"What are you doing out there? Rolling on the ground? Give me the duck blood, you, don't worry about me, I think I'm much better than you. Vivien poked my finger on the head.

"How's Auntie?"

"I hired a nanny, and the whole person is in a good mental state, and the operation was successful." I laughed and shared it with Vivien.
