Chapter 66: Special Plum Wine
After a glass of wine, Jin Daotong frowned, "Is this wine fake?" Why do you cut your throat like this? I remember that plum wine was very sweet! This is still specially made, it should be sweeter! ”
Yuan Yuxiao also straightened her tongue, "This wine is a little spicy, maybe you have a wrong understanding of the special, the special is not sweeter, but the degree is higher!" ”
Jin Daotong looked at his glass, "I can't drink enough, what about you?" ”
"I haven't tested it, and probably it's not very good......"
"Then let's save this wine for the evening, don't miss the afternoon, and sleep at night anyway."
"Okay!"
"Let's drink this water!"
"Whatever you want!"
After the two of them finished eating, they both expressed their emotion that after drinking Shengli beer, the other beers were overshadowed, "Perhaps, this is the beginning of our learning to taste wine?" Yuan Yuxiao said, Jin Daotong's face was flushed, and he walked a little high and low, "What is not good!" We're still good enough to practice! Yuan Yuxiao thought, isn't it innate, and you have to practice? What's the point of practicing it, but when he thought of what Jin Daotong might say, he looked left and right and said to him, "What are we going to do next?" ”
Jin Daotong put his arm around Yuan Yuxiao's shoulder, "Let's get the accommodation first, take a good nap, sober up, the teacher said that Comrade Lenin said that only those who can rest will work......"
"Looking for a hotel, or a hostel?"
"Find a cheaper guest house or something, it's not a big deal, it's too scary to report a travel expense, and it's not good to mean it's not ......"
"I strongly agree with this!"
"Don't say okay this time, it's up to you?"
"I think so myself, and if you don't say it, I'll say it!"
"We're good partners!"
"Now the question is, where do we go?"
"Hehe, you don't need to worry about this, I have prepared a map of this city!" Kim Do-tong pulled out a map like a trick.
Yuan Yuxiao came to his senses suddenly, yes, he didn't need to ask about these things, just follow Jin Daotong. It seems that I drank two catties of beer today, and I don't remember much.
"I marked the regional tax bureau on the map, in the cultural road - there is also a cultural road here, but the specific location is not very clear, maybe you have to inquire around there, just ask where to do business - there should be no business I don't know where the tax bureau is!"
Yuan Yuxiao nodded again and again.
"Let's take the bus to Wenhua Road first, find a guest house to live in, and it's good to be close to the afternoon and have a little bit!"
The two of them sat on the bus and looked all the way, although Y City is a city, in their eyes, it is just a relatively large county, but after getting off the bus on Wenhua Road, they still exclaimed, "This road is wider than any road in our C city!" Yuan Yuxiao sighed, but Jin Daotong was about to say, "However, in the entire Y City, there is only such a wide road!" His unconvincing must be reflected everywhere.
"Look, the houses on this road are brightly painted and look much cleaner than ours, any comments?" After getting out of the car, Yuan Yuxiao had nothing to do with it, Jin Daotong walked for a while, pouting, "Don't you see that this house is all in vain - it is only painted on the side of the street, and the back is full of red bricks!" ”
Yuan Yuxiao followed the direction of his finger and looked, it was really so! Surprised, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, he just didn't understand that Jin Daotong was more powerful, but he had to admit that Jin Daotong was because he had to work hard in everything to make his work so impressive.
Found a guest house to settle down, Jin Daotong threw away the travel bag, and began to get drunk as soon as he fell down, Yuan Yuxiao was a little surprised by his sleeping skills, for him who lost sleep when he had nothing to do, it was both envious and incomprehensible to this kind of person who could sleep on the bed. It seems that "Comrade Lenin" was right - only those who can rest will work.
Yuan Yuxiao couldn't sleep for a while, went out of the room, and gently closed the door. They passed by a Xinhua bookstore just now, and Yuan Yuxiao must go in the bookstore, in order to keep up with the rhythm of Jin Daotong, he suppressed the urge to go in, and now he can visit the bookstore alone, which is his favorite thing.
He was anxious to visit the bookstore at this time, and because he knew that on a business trip with Jin Daotong, the schedule must be full, and there must be very little free time, and the first time he went on a business trip to other places, he wanted to bring something commemorative back, and it was difficult to keep food for a long time, and only the books stamped with the seal of the bookstore here were the most suitable for him. In addition, when he received Yu Xiaolu's letter today, he pondered what souvenirs to bring to her, and most of his imagination was only going around in circles in books.
The bookstore is not small, after a cursory browsing, I feel that the books cannot be compared with the big bookstores in C City, the variety is relatively small, and the grade is not enough in his opinion, but he was soon happy to see the books he wanted, "Wang Jieshi Xie Lisi Song Collection" and "Sequel", such a hot book is in C City, and it will probably be out of stock as soon as it is on the counter, so it is difficult to come across. Yu Xiaolu once mentioned it, it's just right to give it to her! I bought it immediately, and suddenly I couldn't resist the urge to read Xiaolu's letter, and I didn't bother to read the other books, so I wanted to go back to the guest house to read the letter. However, when paying, I still carefully asked the salesperson to cover the stamp clearly and properly on the inner page of the book, and cover it on the back cover for fear of accidental damage.
Happily rushed back, thinking all the way about what to say to Xiaolu on the title page, thinking about it a little, the title of a "harmony duet" is very good, which not only fits the content of the book, but also implies the meaning of the piano and the song. The guest house was not far from the bookstore, and he walked fast again, and when the inscription was ready, he had already reached the door of the room. Gently entering the room, Jin Daotong was still lying on the bed with a big character, he took a piece of paper on the table and tried to write the four words a few times, and felt that it was okay, so he carefully wrote it on the title page. After writing it, I felt that the handwriting on the draft was more chic, but there was nothing to do. Carefully put the book in his duffel bag, took out the letter by the way, sat down on his bed, sat cross-legged, Jin Daotong's leisurely sound lined the world very quietly, he used the nail clippers on the keychain to cut a small corner, and then poked in a small key, and then carefully cut along the seal, and after taking out the letter, the seal was still neat as if it had never been opened.
The letter was only one page, neatly folded, and only fluttering, which made him feel a little strange, and he always felt that this reply should not be so short.
Sniffing the letter paper, there was indeed a wisp of clear green tea fragrance on it, he smiled slightly, and opened it gently, it was Xiaolu's familiar handwriting-
"Yuxiao: I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend......"
Hearing a loud buzzing in his ears, he raised his head and looked at the snow-white wall opposite, and was stunned for a moment, his mind as blank as the wall.
He meditated like an old monk for a while, and then his consciousness wandered back from a distance, and the consciousness that returned only brought a question—what was going on?
He lowered his head again to look at the letter, which alone could answer him, approximately.
"Yuxiao: I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend.
Go well, I bless you! ”
Below is her name and date.
He turned the letter over and looked at it upside down, and even held it up to look at the sunlight pouring in from the window, and there were really only two sentences, and there was no answer he wanted.
He had to read these two sentences repeatedly, trying to read the words from the words. In vain, of course.
What he was waiting for was such news, she already had a boyfriend!
What's going on? Is this true or false? If it's true, then why?
She told him to "go well", so how to go well?
Mo Qing is gone, and now that she is gone, he is alone......
Mo Qing brought his girlfriend with him, and now she has a ...... Boyfriend...... He's alone.
He was a little tired from being weighed down by a bunch of questions, so he could only fold the letter and put it back in the envelope, and then sandwich it in the new book he had just inscribed, and then his body collapsed little by little, collapsed, and the loneliness hit him little by little.
He reclined on the bed, searching for memories inch by inch, when did Xiaolu have a boyfriend? Could it be the two weeks of losing contact? It can't be, it can't be so coincidental! The important thing is that it can't be so fast! How can two weeks overturn the relationship between the two? A little further back in my memory, I could bump into the kiss under the tree that night—the one they both stared at with wide eyes...... A little further on, there is the happy time they used to have carefree, and it has been a long time......
In those golden times, although it cannot be said that there are no gaps, it is not enough to insert such a terrifying news!
He turned over and sat up, trying to clear his mind, the noon sun illuminated the beige table by the window a little dazzlingly, and the bottle of special plum wine placed on the table by Jin Daotong was green and crystal clear, and he leaned over and grabbed the bottle of wine in his hand.
At this moment, an experience from the past suddenly flashed back to his mind—it was the first time they had eaten in the dormitory with the wages they had received, and the whole of them was drunk...... It feels so good to be drunk, dizzy, fluttering, I don't have to think about anything at that moment, everything I say is forgiven, everything I do is understood, that kind of feeling that I can bear the world, but I can't bear myself......
Now, why not experience that happiness again! Or, going back to that drunkenness and reliving the days of the past year, he would choose a different way of walking......
His literary mind flashed such a thought or fantasy, and he suddenly longed to try or verify it.
He unscrewed the cap of the bottle and looked left and right, but there was no cup or anything like that, but the smell of wine wafted up, and he couldn't help but take a sip of the bottle. It's a little spicy, but as a wine, it's just right, and the important thing is that the cool line goes straight to the bottom of my heart, and when the line fades, I can't help but take another sip, as if I can't let it break......
It seemed that the wine really reminded him of something, and he suddenly remembered the scene when he came back from Lin School after collecting taxes that day and went to Xiaolu's house to see her parents......
Yes, it was strange that day, and in retrospect, it's not strange at all, obviously, since then, Xiaolu has had a boyfriend - and their relationship has been known or noticed by Xiaolu's parents, yes, it must be so, Xiaolu's parents saw a certain sign and tried to stop it because they were more identified with his relationship with Xiaolu......
Xiaolu's father's assurances about Xiaolu are to dispel his worries, so that he and Xiaolu can continue to walk without psychological barriers!
With this fact, when he re-examined every detail that made him wonder that day, he found that everything was logical.
He had always liked to overthink everything, so he should have been able to find something in these wrong details, but he had subconsciously avoided it.
Is he overly optimistic? He is really not an optimistic character......
Is he overconfident? Where does his confidence come from?
Is Xiaolu's father's entrustment......
Now, however, he has failed Xiaolu's father, and even her mother......
Of course, it also lived up to Mo Qing's intentions......
Feeling a feeling of guilt and drunkenness slowly welling up, surging up and drowning him, his head began to sink and he slowly fell asleep in the drowsiness. The empty bottle left his hand hanging beside the bed, and rolled under the bed.
He dreamed of a lot of teapots, and the teapots turned into medicine pots, and the medicine pots turned into teapots, and over and over again, and the changes were endless, and from the teapot medicine pots flowed out of the dark orange sour plum soup for a while, and dark brown iced coffee flowed out of the pots......
Suddenly, a hand kept shaking his shoulders, and in his ears was the voice of Jin Daotong, "Oops! Wake up! Wake up! What are you doing with nightmares......"
