Chapter 18: A Woman's Business
The class reunion was very lively, because they hadn't gotten together for many years, so the atmosphere was generally quite good, and a group of people in their twenties got together, as if they had returned to their teenage years, making people rediscover the enthusiasm of their childhood.
Old classmates get together, of course, it is inevitable to recall some past things, human memory is also a very wonderful thing, whether it is a good memory, or a bad memory, everyone will always remember some past things, and some fragments that have long been forgotten by themselves, may happen to be a deep imprint in the mind of another person, these memory fragments are like a small piece of puzzle, together can spell out many, many complete memories of the past.
This feeling is still very wonderful, no matter when you first come to the class reunion, everyone has such a high enthusiasm, and when you sit together, you begin to recall the past, and you can vaguely see your young self from your own and others' memories, and it will still make people feel happy.
Although Tang Hongye and Du Juan said that they were almost equal to growing up together, they always felt that they knew each other better, but they listened to other classmates recall some trivial things in the first three years of middle school, and they also heard a lot of interesting things about each other that they didn't know, as well as some of the content that even they were almost forgotten about, but they were mentioned in other people's memories, and there was also a sense of surprise that they picked up the baby after taking a walk casually, which made the two of them feel very interesting.
Because the number of people at the party is relatively large, so the students who are responsible for booking the dining place are directly booked a small banquet hall, a large group of people chatted here lively, and ate again, and the meal is extraordinarily time-consuming, because the old classmates who have not seen each other for many years always have endless words, endless wine, so a toss from the afternoon to eight or nine o'clock in the evening, whether it is a male or female classmate, they are already in a slightly drunk state, and some are even drunk and hazy, and have to go to the side of the sofa to lie down and take a nap to recuperate.
At more than nine o'clock, because the hotel is about to close, so a group of people are ready to go to KTV to continue the reunion, after all, after so long to get up the class reunion, everyone asked for leave to come, in order to take this opportunity to relax and have a fun, so no one wants to end so early.
Adults are okay, the children are obviously unable to hold on at this time, Hou Changsheng's two children are already sleepy and their eyelids are fighting, but Hou Changsheng doesn't want to leave halfway, in the end, of course, his wife can only take the child back to the residence by himself, and Hou Changsheng then transfers with others.
Because of the large number of people, so a group of people came to a more famous large KTV in city A, and chose the largest box here, even so, after a group of people poured in, it still made a large box comparable to the area of the conference room become a little crowded, the sound of talking with the music coming out of the stereo, the scene has become a noisy market, some people are singing songs, some people run to the small stage in front of the big screen and jump and jump, and some people are slightly drunk, Sitting on the couch was a little drowsy.
Du Juan was pulled over by a few female classmates who had a good relationship when they were students, and wanted to sing a somewhat old pop song that they liked at that time, Tang Hongye stood aside with a can of beer alone, drinking and listening to Du Juan sing. Usually when he is busy with work, he is very restrained, it can be said that he does not drink at all, just in order to keep himself in the best state from the mind to the physical fitness at all times, and now because of the class reunion, he and Du Juan specially applied for vacation, which can be regarded as a rare relaxation time, he allowed himself to drink some wine, and temporarily put aside the constraints on weekdays.
"Hongye, come, let's have a glass together!"
Tang Hongye was watching the cuckoo singing with a few girlfriends, and suddenly heard someone next to him talking to him, because the box was too noisy, and he didn't hear who was talking at once, but when he heard someone calling his name, he instinctively turned around with a smile, and when he turned to look over, he found that the person who called him was Hou Changsheng, and Hou Changsheng was also holding a can of beer, standing beside him, with a worried face, and with a somewhat flattering smile, he was looking at himself, waiting for his response.
Looks like this old boy wants to say something to himself! Tang Hongye saw that the person who called him was Hou Changsheng, and he also felt that he seemed to be quietly relieved in his heart, from Fang Cai to now, in fact, he still expects Hou Changsheng to be able to express something, he doesn't want to let Du Juan be wronged in this matter, the same Tang Hongye is reluctant to end the friendship between the two brothers for more than ten years in this way, even if Hou Changsheng's wife does not apologize directly to Du Juan, Hou Changsheng himself can be forgiven if he is sensible enough.
"My wife and children are back?" Tang Hongye thought so in his heart, his face was not too ugly, he nodded to Hou Changsheng, and gently touched the cup with Hou Changsheng with the beer can.
"Ah, go back, the two little ones are crazy today, don't look at the time when you leave, you are already so sleepy that you can't open your eyes, and when will you be able to sleep after you go back! This kid is the creditor of his parents in his last life, I can see it clearly! Hou Changsheng teased as if laughing at himself, and then reached out and patted Tang Hongye on the shoulder, "You will understand this problem in the future!" Dude, you can be regarded as a person in this matter, don't say I didn't remind you! If you go back and marry Cuckoo, let's be free for two more years! Don't be so anxious to have children, if the head of the family urges, just bear it, otherwise, you will soon have no good life, after having a child, no matter how affectionate and sweet, the two of them will not be able to go back to the original feeling. ”
Tang Hongye smiled at him: "Well, this kind of thing is still early, I must at least let Du Juan agree to marry me first, and then I can think about the others, otherwise, it is useless to say anything." ”
He was really embarrassed to say that the toss of Hou Changsheng's two bear children in the hotel today was simply a fresh teaching material for eugenics, and he really didn't know how many classmates who were married and had no children or were unmarried and had no children were so frightened that they wanted to postpone or even cancel their plans to have children.
"Isn't it a matter of time before you get married! The two of you are different from others, others have just fallen in love and have a shallow emotional foundation, even if the two of you are together for a day, the foundation is firmer than a few years after people's flash marriage! Hou Changsheng teased with Tang Hongye, "Didn't you see two people in our class who drank too much tonight?" I found that no, those two were thinking about wanting to be close to the cuckoo before, and there was something about development! I heard that Lu Xiaoping went to find the cuckoo before? That kid later found out that the two of you were together, wasn't he also particularly devastated? He didn't come today, did he? I didn't see him, was I afraid that when I saw the two of you together, I felt like a knife? ”
"Look at what you said, Lu Xiaoping is not that kind of person, he doesn't have that mind for a long time, he can't come this time because he went on a business trip to other places, and he can't come back for a while." Tang Hongye waved his hand at Hou Changsheng, Lu Xiaoping is really more frank in this matter, at least much more open-minded than the two male classmates mentioned by Hou Changsheng tonight, those two who drank high really made Tang Hongye a little crying and laughing, I don't know how deep the two of them are to the cuckoo!
They have all graduated for so long, from high school to college, Du Juan has been working in his hometown for the first few years after graduating from college, if he really likes it so much, there are many opportunities, and he will not find a chance to show his goodwill, but Tang Hongye secretly asked Du Juan, and the two of them did not say anything special to her before.
Then Tang Hongye could only come up with two guesses, these two people either searched for a lot outside, and finally remembered that the rhododendron was such a "high-quality nest grass", but he never thought that he had not had time to show his personal charm, and found that this "high-quality nest grass" had been chased away by others. Either they have always had a good impression of the cuckoo, but because the cuckoo gives them the feeling that it is too good, so people dare not pursue it easily, for fear that they will accidentally hit the wall, originally thought that the cuckoo has been single for so many years, and he may be able to use the opportunity of the class reunion to pave the way, but he didn't expect to finally muster up the courage to get such a bad news that he is indeed famous.
As a "winner", Tang Hongye doesn't care too much about what other people's reactions are, whether it is an open-minded and calm acceptance of the facts, or a person who drinks until he gets drunk, this will not cause any interference to him and the cuckoo, as long as you don't mess around and stalk, then everything is easy to say.
"Hongye, you say, our brothers have been together for so many years, do you have nothing to say about your feelings?" After Hou Changsheng talked about other topics for a long time, he suddenly pulled the topic back.
Tang Hongye nodded: "Of course." ”
"I've always felt that the best buddy in my life is you, and I've always felt very glorious to be a buddy with you." Hou Changsheng took a sip of beer and said with feeling, "Look at these students in our class, there are few who have not gone to college, and those who have studied less like me have not mixed up ideally, so they didn't come." As for me, I don't read very well, I still have a little bit of a livelihood at home, and I'm generally okay, so when I came to the party today, they were very enthusiastic about me, my wife and children, but I was clear in my heart, they didn't think I had much culture, and they didn't really look up to me. ”
"Everyone is classmates, there is no such thing." Tang Hongye saw that what he said was not in his mind, so he reached out and patted Hou Changsheng's back, "Don't think nonsense." ”
"No, really, some things don't necessarily have to be said, I know it in my heart!" Hou Changsheng sighed, "So I have always felt that you are my very valuable friend, you look at you, you look like a talent, you have to look good, you have to have brains, although the work is not a fortune to make a living, but it is also quite glorious and tall, and I have also heard that you perform very well in the unit, and you are quite valued by the leadership." I just think that you don't dislike me as a friend for not being on the stage, which really makes me very grateful. ”
"Monkey, are you too drunk? What are you talking about today? Tang Hongye looked at Hou Changsheng's appearance, and said such things again, feeling a little crying and laughing.
"No, no, don't you know! How can there be such a time of drinking! I've just been a little emotional in the last two days, and I want to take advantage of today's occasion to have a good chat with you. Hou Changsheng wiped his face.
Tang Hongye nodded at him: "Okay, whatever you want to talk about, you can talk, I'll listen!" ”
"I know you were angry with me a few days ago," the monkey sighed heavily, "Otherwise, you will be angry with the two of us, and you won't have so many days in between, let alone ask me out for some food and drink or something, and you haven't even chatted casually, to be honest, I really felt uncomfortable in my heart in those days, and I always thought about what you said about the relationship between our brothers and sons for so many years, and it was difficult to break it off?" Do you think we're just like everyone else? From the age of thirteen or fourteen to the present, more than ten years, how many years have there been in a person's life? What kind of fate does this have to be for the two of us to become such iron buddies! It's a pity that the relationship between the two of us is ruined because of something, don't you say? ”
Tang Hongye didn't speak, he really cherished the buddy between himself and Hou Changsheng, but what Hou Changsheng said made Tang Hongye feel a little wrong when he heard it, so he didn't want to rush to make a statement, and planned to wait to hear what Hou Changsheng's central idea was.
Hou Changsheng didn't think that Tang Hongye's silence had any special meaning, he had drunk a little wine before, so his reaction was not so sensitive now, and he didn't notice anything abnormal about Tang Hongye's emotions at all, and still said to him with his own care: "What about my sister-in-law's matter, I didn't handle it well, and it was a bit wishful thinking, so I blame me for this!" Go back and ask me to apologize to you, treat you to a drink, this buddy has absolutely nothing to say, I just ask that matter to be turned over! What about my wife, a woman, her heart is not too big, she and the cuckoo are just women's things, forget it in the past, how our brothers should get along in the future, don't affect us for the kind of crooked things in the woman's family. ”
