Chapter 22: The First Love Never Goes Out (2)
was having dinner at her mother's house, and her mobile phone rang loudly, and it was Li Li who called. I happily picked it up, but there was silence over there. I fed it twice, and suddenly I heard a faint sob, and my heart suddenly hung up, "Li Li? What happened to you? ”
Seeing that my parents were staring at me, I left the table, shook my head at them, and went into the room. Li Li over there said after a while: "Wen Jing, it's inconvenient for me to go to your place now?" ”
"Tell me what's wrong?"
"Quarreled with Loshu." Li Li said, "I'm wandering on the road now, it's so pitiful, I don't know where I'm going." Wen Jing, let's go sing, shall we? ”
I looked at the time, and it was just under half past seven. "Okay, where to go? You decide. ”
Li Li said after a while: "I'm on Hualin Road now, and there's a good family here." Are you coming? ”
"Okay." Although Hualin Road is more than half an hour's drive from me. After hanging up the phone with her, I put on my coat and said to my parents, "I'll go out for a while, and I'll go home later." ”
"What's the matter, in such a hurry?" Mom asked worriedly.
"It's nothing, it's just that Li Li is in a bad mood and asks me to sing."
"You children are in a bad mood every day, how can there be anything worth being depressed every day?"
I stuck out my tongue: "You don't know that we are all under a lot of pressure now. ”
Mom sneered: "Who can still be under too much pressure?" You're all so squeamish! ”
I'm not going to argue with that. The post-80s generation is indeed not as strong as our parents' generation, the environment is better, the family is well-off, and we are only children. Squeamishness is inevitable. However, we are under more pressure than our parents, and that is also a given - maybe we have too many desires, want this and want that, so driven by desires, we can only become slaves to money.
took a taxi to Haoledi, and Li Li howled "Stuffy" in the small box. One man turned up the sound so loudly that it almost deafened my ears. So the first thing you do when you go in is to turn down the volume first. When Li Li saw me coming, she said excitedly: "You're here!" He looked at me for a moment and said, "Are you a crab?" How do you walk like this? ”
"I'm a wounded soldier now! I'm still coming to see you after that, so be grateful. ”
Li Li was really moved, and put her arm around me: "You are still the best for me." ”
I patted her on the head: "I'm fine, don't take the opportunity to fall in love with me, I don't play with brokeback." ”
She gave me a slap in the back: "Damn it, I want to change my sexual orientation and not wait for this age to change!" ”
I laughed too. Asked Li Li: "Have you eaten yet?" ”
She shook her head and asked, "Are you not hungry?" ”
She shook her head again and took a sip of her beer. I snatched the beer down: "Drink on an empty stomach and see how drunk you are in a moment." ”
"It's rare to get drunk once in life, what's wrong with being drunk?"
"It's rare to get drunk once in life, if you want to get drunk, you can make you like mud every day." I said, "Let's go, go outside and pick something to eat and come in." ”
"It's expensive." Li Li said reluctantly.
"Okay, once in a while or two, since I'm not in a good mood today, I'll spend money to buy refreshing."
Li Li pouted: "Spending money will hurt the flesh, and it is not refreshing." ”
"Hmph, Iron Rooster," I sneered, "I'll treat you to dinner today, sister, okay?" ”
Li Li jumped up: "Say it earlier, I'm waiting for your words." ”
"......" went to the supermarket in the KTV and picked something to go back to the box. I asked her, "What is it that makes you so unhappy?" ”
"Luo Shu said he was going back to his mother's house."
“……”
Li Li looked at me unhappily: "Did you say that this man had a problem with his brain, didn't he see that he was very eccentric at that time, why did he rebel again at this time!" ”
"People are mother and son, and if you want to cut off anything else, how can family affection be so easy to let go?" I threw a peanut into my mouth, "Did the let you go back to live?" ”
"Where. If the told us to go back to live, we'd go down the stairs and save some rent. But Luo Shu couldn't bear the pressure and wanted to go back by himself. There is really no solar term at all, I am angry when I think about it, why do you find such a man? And married to him, it's just sick! ”
"Don't say that," I said, "you're just angry right now. But if I were you, I would be angry too, Luo Shu's position is too unfirm, and moving to my mother-in-law's house is enough to choke. ”
Li Li nestled into the sofa in frustration: "That's why I feel that there is no hope for this day, and I am very sad." Sometimes I think that it is better for a person to live than to die. ”
I was taken aback by her: "Don't say such things!" Don't scare me! ”
Li Li pulled her lips: "It's only you who still care about me." I really don't know how I'm going to live in the future, but in fact, I live outside, and the pressure is still there. So much rent a month took a quarter of both of our salaries. Our wages are not as high as those of you and Ah Fang...... If I move back to my mother's house, will I still have face? It seems to them that I am not begging to live in their house in vain? ”
"That's not that serious, don't think about it so badly." I said, "Maybe the old lady will regret it, but it will be nice to you when she moves out, and won't it be harmonious?" ”
Li Li sneered: "Do you say it's possible?" I don't count on it. She shrugged, "I can't imagine what it would be like to move in the future." But I divorced Luo Shu for this matter, and I didn't think it was necessary. I'm dying of sorrow, Wen Jing! ”
She threw herself into my arms, and I patted her gently on the back, my heart filled with mixed sorrow. Does everyone live to endure all kinds of pressure? Just imagining the past, I can't understand Li Li's pressure, but seeing her so uncomfortable, I am also unhappy. The two of them sat silently for a while, and Li Li's phone rang.
I touched her hand: "It's Luo Shu calling, right?" ”
"No."
"Don't be so willful." I nudged her, "Hurry up." It's nothing, but if you don't answer the phone, the relationship between the two people becomes more and more stiff. ”
Maybe it was when I got to the point that Li Li picked it up. I used the remote control to turn the sound to a minimum. Suddenly, the KTV box was quiet. Li Li said a few words, and hung up the phone. I asked her, "How's it going?" ”
"He wants me to go back. Something to say back. ”
I nodded, "That's right." Let's go back then. ”
