I was knocked down directly by this big gulp, and I felt the contents of my stomach gushing up one after another. Therefore, next Dong Yunfen said that he wanted to toast me, but I didn't agree. In fact, everyone could see that I had drunk too much, so they didn't force me.

It was almost half-past eight when the feast ended. It lasted for more than four hours. Jin Rusheng's wife urged several calls in a row.

I staggered out the box door, trying to suppress the feeling of my stomach swelling up.

I insisted on driving back to the hospital, but no one agreed. Jin Rusheng even took my car keys away.

That Section Chief Liu sent me to the gate of the "Splendid Future" community.

I thanked him again and again.

After getting out of the car and walking on the asphalt road of the neighborhood, I felt my mind gradually clear. Then I remembered that Xu Xiaorou agreed that I would go home for dinner tonight. I quickened my pace.

Upstairs. Dig out the keys. Open the door. Turn on the lights.

I saw Xu Xiaorou sitting at the dining table. There are six plates on the dining table. The dishes on the plate were full. There was a bowl and a pair of chopsticks in front of my seat.

"Why are you still at home? Aren't you going to study late tonight? ”

Xu Xiaorou did not answer.

"Ah, ah, the little girl is angry. Sorry, there was a party in the evening. I changed into my sandals and sat down at my place, "This is the chopsticks for me, right?" ”

Xu Xiaorou didn't say anything.

"Good hearty dinner. It's a pity. Hey, why haven't you eaten at all? You wouldn't have eaten it yet, would you? ”

"I'm waiting for you." Xu Xiaorou said softly.

"Ahh I felt guilty, "I've already eaten it." ”

"You said you would come back for dinner in the evening. So I kept waiting. ”

"I mean coming back. However, my colleagues in the department didn't let me, because I had already resigned the last time you went to the hospital to look for me, so they didn't let me come back this time. I would have liked to come back and write a note to tell you about it. ”

"Since my uncle has already eaten, then I won't wait." Xu Xiaorou stood up.

"Bring me a bowl and let my uncle serve you rice." I removed the stool and tried to stand up. But I immediately sat down again.

"What's wrong with you? Did you drink too much? ”

"I'm sorry." I felt weak in my legs.

"Would you like to make you a cup of strong tea?"

"Hurry up and eat." I say.

"Every time my dad drank too much, my mom would make him a cup of strong tea. Strong tea hangover. Xu Xiaorou walked to the living room. After a while, he brought me a cup of hot tea.

"Did you drink a lot?" Xu Xiaorou looked at me, "It must be very uncomfortable, right?" ”

"Hurry up and eat."

Xu Xiaorou went to serve a bowl of rice.

"Is the rice cold?" I asked.

"I'm warm."

"But the food is already cold. It's a shame, it must be delicious. If I don't come back, you'll eat first. "I don't know what to say. The main thing is that I didn't expect Xu Xiaorou to wait for me all the time.

"I'm going to wait for my uncle."

I said guiltily: "Xiaorou, you need to understand the nature of your uncle's work. I really don't know when I can eat. However, today is indeed a temporary party. ”

"Did the patient's family invite you to dinner?" Xu Xiaorou asked.

"Yes."

"It must have been my uncle who had another big operation." Xu Xiaorou gulped her meal. It seems that she is really hungry.

"Isn't it aggrieved?" I asked.

"Nope."

"You see you're going to cry."

"I just feel a little sad that no one eats so many dishes after stir-frying." Xu Xiaorou choked.

"Looks like we have to install a phone at home."

"No, you don't."

"If you had a phone at home, you wouldn't be so wronged today." I say.

"It's fine. Do you want to be comfortable and drink strong tea? "Xu Xiaorou relates to me in turn.

"It's much more comfortable."

"I think it's better to drink less."

At this moment, I vaguely heard a call from downstairs.

"I guess it's called you." I say.

"Call me?"

We were quiet and listened. Sure enough, someone named Xu Xiaorou.

"So late? Who's coming to you? I looked at Xu Xiaorou.

"Looks like it's my classmate."

There were a few more voices calling for Xu Xiaorou.

"It's really my classmates. I'll go down for a moment. Xu Xiaorou put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Good. If you can, invite them to come and sit in your home. I said.

Xu Xiaorou walked downstairs, and after a while, the corridor became noisy, and the sound of footsteps and talking echoed in the corridor. Five or six high school students showed up at the door.

I beckoned them in. Even Xu Xiaorou has three men and three women. are as young and energetic as Xu Xiaorou. They greeted me politely.

I saw a boy carrying a cake in his hand. Xu Xiaorou was busy putting the tableware on the table into the kitchen.

"Does anyone have a birthday today?" I looked at everyone.

"Uncle Zheng doesn't know?" A lanky boy said.

"It won't be Xu Xiaorou's birthday today, right?" I reacted.

"That's right." Several people said in unison.

Xu Xiaorou was coming out of the kitchen.

"Xiaorou, why didn't you tell me?" I said that Xu Xiaorou repeatedly emphasized yesterday whether I could be sure to eat at home at noon or night, and also deliberately cooked a few good dishes. It turned out to be her birthday. And I also "missed the appointment", leaving her to wait alone for so long.

"Nothing."

"That's what you're wrong. Sorry, I really don't know. It's still you classmates who see each other. Come on, come on, everyone sit down and bring the cake. I'll preside. I said.

I opened the cake box. It's a fruit cake and it's very delicately made. Several people put candles into the cake. Seven were inserted to represent the seventeen-year-old.

I lit the candles one by one.

"Turn off the lights, turn off the lights." Someone shouted.

The lights are off.

"Blow out the candles. *Candle. Someone was urging.

"I haven't made a wish yet, what's the hurry." A girl said.

Xu Xiaorou closed her eyes and made a wish, which was very pious. After a while, she opened her eyes. She glanced at me, glanced at everyone again, and then blew out the candle.

The lights are on.

"Come, I'll cut the cake for everyone." I say.

"Please wait, Uncle Zheng." Xu Xiaorou said.

"Is there anything else?"

"There's nothing left," Xu Xiaorou said, "I just want to say a few words to everyone before eating the cake." First of all, I would like to thank my close friends. I didn't expect you to come to my house for my birthday. ”

"We've already agreed on it." Said a little girl.

"We were going to celebrate you in the classroom after the evening self-study was over, but you didn't go to the evening self-study hall." The fat boy said.

"Xiaorou, it's not easy for us to find here." The tall and thin man said.

"Thank you, thank you. But I would like to tell my classmates that the person I am most grateful to is Uncle Zheng who is standing across from me. Xu Xiaorou changed the topic.

"Xiao Rou." I shouted. Dare to love Xu Xiaorou to make a birthday speech.

"Really, I want to thank you in front of everyone. My classmates and I can continue to get along because of you. If I hadn't met you, my life would have been so gloomy. Xu Xiaorou was very emotional.

Everybody looked at me.

"How can it be so exaggerated," I was a little nervous like a child being praised by an adult, "I am not as great as you think, and I am also thinking about myself." Besides, who can tell the fate of man? ”

"Nope. You're totally for me. I know that. Thank you, uncle. ”

"Thank you, uncle." A few people followed.

While eating the cake, the young men went crazy. They played tricks on each other. The girl kept screaming. They even chased and fought in the living room. Xu Xiaorou took advantage of my inattention, glued the cake to my face, and winked at me very proudly. But she didn't watch out for a boy who was waiting to play tricks on her, and put a large ball of cake in her face.

Xu Xiaorou became a big flower face. We laughed.

I took advantage of the wine and went crazy with everyone. It was as if all my sorrows had been left behind.

It was nearly ten o'clock when Xu Xiaorou's classmates left. They can't get enough of it. If it weren't for my constant urging, they would have wanted to go crazy again.

Xu Xiaorou sent them downstairs. When she returned, she brought a bouquet of flowers.

"What a beautiful flower." I say.

"I don't want it again and again, he has to send it." Xu Xiaorou seemed unhappy, "Everyone says it's okay not to accept birthday gifts." ”

"It was sent by a boy, right?" I asked. That's for sure. I have no silver in this place, three hundred taels.

"I'm sorry to mess up the house." Xu Xiaorou casually threw the flowers on the sofa, and then went to clean up.

"That's how happy you are."

"I really didn't expect them to come to the house."

"It's okay, you don't have to be burdened." I sat down on the couch. At this point, I felt extremely tired.

After Xu Xiaorou tidied up the dining table, she then mopped the floor. She was very careful to clean up the cakes that were sticking to the tiles on the floor.

"Aren't you resting? If you drink too much wine, you will get better and get some sleep. After mopping the ground, Xu Xiaorou said to me.

"I'm sad." I say.

"Still sad?" Xu Xiaorou asked suspiciously.

"Why don't you just tell me it's your birthday? If I knew it was your birthday, I would have rushed back to accompany you anyway. ”

"Are you sad about this? It's okay. We from the countryside don't really pay attention to this kind of small birthday. My dad didn't know it was my birthday. But today is my first birthday at your house, so I wanted to have a meal with you. Just have a meal together. I just felt satisfied. ”

"But I'm really sorry that I couldn't make you meet this minimum requirement." I say.

"It doesn't matter. I'm having a great day. ”

"You must have been very sad before."

"Just a little bit. Besides, I thought you'd be doing surgery all along. ”

"It won't be like that anymore. I will remember this date, April 27th. I said.

"Thank you. If nothing else, I went back to my room and did my homework. ”

"Wait. The guy who gave you roses must have liked you very much. Don't worry about it, I'm not asking you about it. I know a lot of high school students are in a relationship nowadays. I've even heard that some big bosses will go to Yangjiang No. 1 Middle School to find girls. "I voiced my concerns. However, it is said that this is also "normal", ten years ago, Chu Huoyu was wrapped up by a teacher college professor.

"There are rumors that I was also taken by the big boss." Xu Xiaorou flashed her big eyes.

"Ah, do you students know about girls being wrapped up?"

"How do you not know this?"

"Then you'll have to make it clear to everyone. Our relationship is pure. I said.

"I can't explain that to them. The more they talked, the more interested they became. Maybe some of the people here today think the same way. Whatever, I don't care anyway. It won't affect you, will it? Xu Xiaorou looked at me.

"What's the impact on me? I'm a bachelor. I'm afraid you're stressed. ”

"I'm not stressed." Xu Xiaorou shrugged.

"That's good. I heard that there is a culture in Yangjiang No. 1 Middle School, no boyfriend or girlfriend will be laughed at, so if there is no boyfriend or girlfriend, you have to pull one. This is also an exaggeration. I said.

"Uncle knows Yangjiang No. 1 Middle School very well."

"I just heard people chatting at the dinner table."

"But that's an exaggeration."

"So I want you to be cautious in that regard."

"I will. I went to do my homework. ”
