I didn't wake up until noon the next day, remembering how I got home, and vaguely remembered that Sun Kai's father and Mengxi came and dragged him upstairs.

I sat up and patted my head vigorously, and a deep sense of self-reproach and guilt came over me, and I thought to myself that I shouldn't have drunk so much that I couldn't remember what I told him.

I picked up my mobile phone, clicked on WeChat, and found that since no one left me a message, this made me a little surprised, especially Wang Ling's girl, who didn't chat with her for a while every day, she cried and cried, tired and crooked, today it was cold in front of the door, no one cared, I laughed twice, threw the phone aside, and walked out of the bedroom.

My parents were busy in the kitchen, and when they saw me languishing, they came out with a bitter face, and my father blamed me and said, "I drank so much wine just now, and my eyes are straight, my parents are not against you drinking, but you must also have a bottom line." ”

I smiled bitterly, only to feel a splitting headache and a dry mouth, so I took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and drank half of it.

My mother put a braised pig's trotter on a plate, glared at me and said, "Xiao Kai doesn't even know his daughter-in-law anymore." ”

I closed the refrigerator door and muttered to myself, his mind was no longer on Mengxi.

On the small table, full of delicacies, each dish is full of weight, exuding an attractive aroma, I found three wine glasses, filled them in turn, my father was sitting on his chest, quite serious said: "Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, let's not sum up this year's life, or that sentence, just be happy." ”

I raised my glass and said, "Yes, happy, healthy." ”

My mother glanced at me and said angrily: "You are the most uneasy, your father and I are waiting to hold our grandson, you are good, you ran to the south with a rod, it is not an exaggeration to say that you have a mixed appearance, but why are you still that inactive virtue." ”

I took a sip of liquor, listened to my mother's complaints, I almost squirted, I bared my teeth, gnawed on the pig's trotters and said: "What's the hurry, besides, my career has just started, and there will be a grandson for you to hold in the future, your son is still very young." ”

After saying that, I laughed, so bitter, so fake.

Dad lit a cigarette and said hoarsely: "Young fart, all thirty years old, still like a hairy boy, immature, no opinion, what do you say, the pony is too narrow at first glance, the nestling is flying and complaining about the sky, you are a guy with a high eye and a low hand." ”

After listening to my father's reprimand, I giggled again, and my mother wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at me and said, "Why is there still a problem with my spirit?" ”

I thought to myself, it's good to celebrate the New Year, it's good to go home, I can talk to my family without any worries, throw away the boredom and pretense of that year, take a big breath, grin, and drink with a glass, without heavy pressure and trivialities that I can't handle.

After dinner, I was lying in bed about to catch up on sleep, Sun Kai sent me a voice call, and when I answered, I heard his hangover breath of dying or alive.

"Come out and drink again."

His voice was hoarse, and his voice was like a quilt, and his sullen voice made me feel a little ashamed, but I still scolded with an unforgiving smile: "Get out." ”

Sun Kai let out a long yawn, he paused for a moment, and continued to say hoarsely: "Did I say something I shouldn't have said yesterday?" ”

"Hell knows."

I really don't know what he said, but when I came to the living room, I saw that my parents had gone to the door again, and the huge room felt a little lonely.

"Mengxi wants to divorce me, and she said that she would leave after the New Year, but I don't have a score in my heart now, and I don't dare to tell my father."

Sun Kai said sadly, and it could be heard from his tone that last night's drinking party had pushed his marriage to a dead end.

I lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and muttered, "It's not like this, say more witty things, and the New Year will be auspicious." ”

I walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and saw Sun Kai sitting on the sofa, still naked, looking a little sad, I didn't know how to comfort him, so I said, "Come out and say." ”

This year's Spring Festival is colder than usual, the air is wafting with white snowflakes, the larches on the street have become yellow and weak, and there is a sense of depression and decay in the urban area.

A firecracker burst out in mid-air, slammed, without making the slightest stop, it became a scum of broken bones, crackling firecrackers could be heard everywhere, neighbors, hawker aunts, aunts and uncles, children and fathers, they were wrapped in cotton clothes, carrying gifts, walking through the streets, and everyone said: "Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity." ”

Or politely say: "I didn't earn less this year, and I will definitely earn more next year." ”

Sun Kai gasped and walked up to me in a hurry, his thin cheeks were haggard and anxious, and there was a scratched blood mark on his neck, he was a little annoyed when he saw that I was staring at his neck with some fascination: "What's the matter?" Fuck, it's cold. ”

"Get in the car and say."

I pulled open the car door, and he stomped his foot and got inside.

As soon as I sat down, he said worriedly: "She looked at my WeChat, and she knew everything, and then I confessed and quarreled with her, and I regretted it when I woke up, I felt that I was not even as good as a beast." ”

"Heh, you're still a little self-aware."

I looked at him with a smile on my face, but the thought that I had drunk him unconscious made my heart ache.

Sun Kai rubbed his dry cheeks, punched me again, and said, "Are you here to see the joke?" ”

I sniffed vigorously and said thoughtfully, "You brought out the energy that persuaded me yesterday." ”

"What did I advise you?"

His face was full of doubts and resentment, I took a long breath, leaned on the backrest, and said lightly: "You and that mistress should be broken off as soon as possible, unless you really want to divorce Mengxi." ”

At this time, through the car window, I saw that the door of Sun Kai's house was pushed open, and a girl in a long white cotton suit, crying and wiping tears, ran out, she was carrying a suitcase, her hair was a little messy, and her delicate face was covered with tears, and an old man followed behind, jumping around in a hurry.

"Damn, Mengxi."

I screamed, and saw that Sun Kai had run over in a panic, holding Mengxi in his arms, and the old man who followed was Sun Kai's father, and he slapped Sun Kai involuntarily, scolding some words about cutting off children and grandchildren, attracting many neighbors to dissuade him.

I didn't dare to get out of the car, but silently lit a cigarette, because Sun Kai's father would definitely beat me like beating Sun Kai, Mengxi was stopped and persuaded, and was finally hugged upstairs by the big guy, I breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go upstairs to sleep, when the mobile phone rang, took it out to check, it was Xiao Qing who called, and she was finally idle.

"Hey, Xiaotao, I was too busy yesterday to answer your call, how are you doing over there?"

Still the voice that was so crisp that it was so calming, I pursed my lips and smiled, and said lightly, "I'm back." ”

"Ah, oh, that's great, come out and get together, and call Xiao Kai too."

She was a little incoherent, I don't blame her, because the first time I saw Sun Kai yesterday, she was like this.

I raised my head and looked at the window of Sun Kai's house, smiled bitterly and said, "He probably won't be able to get out, and the house is now estimated to have landed in Normandy." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Qing was confused when she heard this, and I hurriedly changed the topic and said, "You remarried Jin Chen, right?" ”

After Xiao Qing heard this, she said very heartily: "Yes, I have remarried, and I almost died in a state of death, hehe." ”

She laughed happily twice, and seemed to be in a very good mood.

She asked me again when I would get married and when I would open the business, and I prevaricated ambiguously, and after a few words of greeting, we ended the call, Sun Kai sent me an OK expression, which means that he has stabilized Mengxi, I sighed for a while, and felt that women are really emotional dominators, nothing more than a few words, tender coaxing, but this does not mean that all women are like this.

I walked out of the car, the cold wind blew violently, made me shiver, looked up at the gray sky, did not feel a trace of the warmth of the light, a few pedestrians hurriedly walked by, the rapid breath turned into a thick white mist, in the blink of an eye, it was annihilated by the incomprehensible cold.

I walked aimlessly on the street, the vehicles shuttled by, bringing up the snowflakes on the side of the road, the rows of silent shops, and the busy noise of the past, a few sparrows flew listlessly, landed on the street lamp, shook the gray white little head, chirped a few times, and had no intention of flying away.

A girl in a red down jacket and black jeans walked over leisurely, she was wearing a pink mask with a pattern of Bikachu printed on it, and a pair of long eyelashes hung with ice crystals that solidified into frost, but they did not hide the clarity and agility in her eyes.

She blocked my way, squinting at me, and I couldn't see her expression, but her graceful figure and seductive curves gave people a sense of déjà vu.

I frowned and whispered, "Is there something wrong?" ”

She didn't say anything, she continued to stare at me, I was a little stunned, scratched my hair, just wanted to say something, she laughed, this voice is very familiar, I quickly recalled in my mind, before I could capture that face, she took off her mask, revealing a smug expression.

"Xiaolan?"

I looked at her with my mouth wide open and a look of surprise on my face.

"What's the matter, what the hell is the New Year? But you, don't you say that you are celebrating the New Year in the south, why did you rush back in a hurry? ”

She said sharply, rolled her beautiful eyes, and put the mask back on.

I pursed my lips and smiled, pretending to be relaxed: "I'm busy and I'm going home for the New Year, but it's a coincidence to meet here, why are you going?" Blind date? ”

"Yes, I went on a blind date, and the person who proposed the marriage broke the threshold of my house and came out to breathe."

She giggled, and her eyes were torn into two curved arcs.

I sighed lightly, looked at her and said, "Why is there no New Year's atmosphere at all?" Do you remember when you were in middle school, every Spring Festival, we all ran out to play crazy, and now those have become memories pressed in the bottom of my heart. ”

Qin Xiaolan blinked, and said as he asked, "Drink?" ”

"Let's go."

I drink with Qin Xiaolan, I can brag and idle without any worries, like a brother who crawled out of the trenches, the only difference is that she is a girl, I am a boy, so no matter what is boring, you can confide in each other, she is a big, outspoken girl, optimistic and cheerful, kind-hearted, as a table mate in middle school, she doesn't seem to have changed much.

When I got home in the evening, my parents were watching variety shows on the sofa, and when I came back full of alcohol, my mother glared at me and said, "Are you looking for Xiaokai to drink again?" ”

"No, no, friend."

I hung my coat on a hanger and went back to the bedroom, and I fell asleep without taking off my clothes.
