The old president's wife smiled unabashedly and corrected Tang Shi's words: "Lao Luo and I are not feelings, but friendship. ”

Tang Shi held the hand of the wine glass, paused, but did not speak.

The old president's wife stood up, smiled kindly at Tang Shi, and left.

The old president smiled and picked up the wine jug, poured Tang Shi full of wine, and then explained what his wife had just said to Tang Shi: "My wife and I have been friends at work for many years, and later got married. ”

Maybe when people are old, they love to reminisce about the past, so the old president said to Tang Shi: "I used to have a girl I liked very much, but that was just my wishful thinking, I chased that girl for seven years, I didn't catch up, and finally watched her marry someone else." ”

Tang Shi's demeanor has always been very quiet, and when he heard the old president say this, his expression condensed slightly.

The old president continued: "In my life, I have never been so crazy to pay anything, those seven years, but I have paid the most unreserved seven years, at that time, I went to work, a month's salary was dozens of yuan, but I tried my best to spend it to her, she also has a younger brother, when she got married, she didn't have enough money to give the woman a bride price, the money was also out of me, I took all my belongings, gave it to her, after giving, I only had a penny in my body." ”

This bottle of wine that the old president has treasured for most of his life is really a good wine, the taste is mellow and sweet, Tang Shi couldn't help but drink a glass again, and then he opened his mouth and asked: "You paid so much, but you didn't get it in the end, are you willing in your heart?" ”

"Unwilling, of course unwilling, when I heard that she refused to marry me, I wanted to cut her with a knife." The old president said frankly to Tang Shi without hesitation: "At that time, I really took an ax and hid in the sorghum field, ready to hack the man to death, but she was also there at the time, knelt on the ground and told me that feelings cannot be forced, she is very grateful to me, but she really doesn't love me." ”

The old president held a wine glass and took a sip of wine: "Later, I gave up, went abroad, inadvertently made a lot of money, and began to create my own company, the better, and when my company was listed, I went back to China and saw her once, at that time she rode a bicycle, sat in the cold wind, sent her son to school, and I sat in a BMW, blowing a warm breeze, but I could see that she was very happy, at that time I had no unwillingness and impulse when I was young, on the contrary, I was at ease when I saw her happy." ”

The old president picked up the wine glass, raised it to Tang Shi, and drank it in one gulp: "People love deeply, so they will care about everything, but you must love deeply, you can get it, love to the end, all you hope for in your heart is her happiness, although that happiness is not given by you, you will also feel satisfied." ”

Tang Shi didn't speak, but just followed the old president to drink the wine in the cup.

After eating, the old president took Tang Shi around his newly renovated courtyard, and gave Tang Shi an appreciation of the antique toys he had collected all his life, and then asked people to make a pot of sobering tea for Tang Shi to drink, and then sent Tang Shi away.
