Chapter 5 Awakening from a dream like a passing year
Some people will never meet again, just like this summer.
"What kind of girl do you like, my mother introduced you to a classmate's daughter, you look at the photo of a girl who is particularly delicate, I also chatted with people when we had dinner together last time, especially quiet and shy with you, you can't see it, if you see it, your mother will ask you to have a meal together."
Mom picked up her phone and kept looking at the pictures for me. "Mom, I don't want to get married yet, what's so good about getting married in a hurry." I said impatiently. "You don't want to get married? Wang Wenliang in the same building is still one year younger than you, people hold the baby downstairs every day to bask in the sun, when are you going to get married and let me hold my grandson! "Mom choked up a little when she said this, and I made a playful grimace to try to keep her from tears." Okay, Mom, I'll look for it as soon as possible, and I'll look for it as soon as I get back, and I'll make sure to complete the task. "I saluted decently." You don't necessarily have to find a girl from out of town, if not, you can come back, and when you get married here, your mother will also be convenient for you to bring your children. "Okay, listen to you, I'll come back at the end of this year, work here and get married."
I took out a bank card from my arms and handed it to her, "Mom, you can help me hold this card first, the money in it will come back at the end of this year for marriage, and I wrote the password on the back of the card." "What are you doing for me, you can keep it for yourself." Mom was ready to give me back the card again. "Mom, you keep it for me, I'm afraid that I'll spend money outside, and I won't be enough to get married in the future." I leaned back. "Okay, mom will keep it for you, and no matter how bad it is when you get married in the future, mom will make it up to you." After saying that, she went to the bedroom to find a cabinet and put the card.
I looked at her happy appearance, her throat and eyes were like a block of sour grapes, and the corners of her eyes began to pantothenic, she was just an ordinary mother, looking forward to her son growing up, marrying a wife and having children, and she didn't need to have a lot of money or how much money her son earned, just thinking about letting her son eat more, be safe and spend this life in good health.
I remembered when I was a young child, when I was naughty and stumbled, she hugged me and cried while running wildly down the road. When I was an adolescent, I was ignorant, and I often played to the end, and she was anxiously calling over and over again, just to ask if I was safe, but I only cared about playing games and deliberately didn't answer. After work, I was busy with my career, and it was often she who really missed me, so she cautiously asked on WeChat if she would be busy, and I gave her a video or phone call. People are like this, and many feelings will only wake up to how important it is when they are about to lose it. I suppressed the sadness in my heart and said, "Mom, let's go, let's go out for a walk." ”
"Okay, why do you want to go out for a walk with your mother today." Mom said with a smile. When she changed her clothes, my mother took my arm and greeted me politely when she met the aunt in the community, and my mother smiled sweetly.
"When you were a child, I took you out, and when you saw a delicious food, you had to ask me to buy it for you, and if you didn't buy it or leave, you would lie on the ground and roll around, and I would scare you, and if you didn't get up, I would give you to the homeless man over there to be his son, so scared that you got up immediately, and grabbed me tightly with my hand after wiping my nose, for fear that I would really give you to him." Mom said with a smile.
"Mom, buy you and dad some clothes." I say. "What are you doing with clothes? Your dad and I are both too old to wear out our clothes, so where can we put so much of it? Mom said reproachfully. How can it be the same, what my son bought for you and what you bought for yourself must feel different, let's go. "I dragged my mom into the mall.
This time it was her turn to become a child, touching this and that, and muttering quietly, this is outrageously expensive, and that quality is too poor. I was surprisingly patient and able to walk around with her. Finally I saw a chiffon dress, I asked her to try it, but she shook her head and said that it was worn by a little girl, in order to dispel her idea, I asked the shopping guide in front of her. The shopping guide said that this dress was specially designed for middle-aged women, and under my repeated persuasion, my mother finally chose to try it.
When she looked at herself in the mirror as if she was really a teenager younger, and she was spinning around in front of the mirror like a girl, she looked back at me, and I gave a thumbs up to say that she looked very good. In the end, she couldn't resist my tough attitude and reluctantly accepted the dress, because she still didn't feel the need to buy such an expensive one. Next, I picked out a cotton light-colored polo shirt and a pair of pants for my father, and specially bought him a large belt, and I also looked at the quality, I was afraid that the quality would not be able to withstand his big belly.
I accompanied my mother to buy some vegetables, she carefully selected, I looked at her quietly, and the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes told my mother that she was old. After buying a fish, we returned with a full load, my mother was full of happy smiles, and our mother and son reflected a long shadow in the sunset, dragging on the ground longer and farther away.
Dad did as he asked me to make fish. Zhang Zhi called me in the afternoon and said that we would have dinner together in the evening, which made me shirk. I apologized and said that tomorrow I would invite him to eat with him, and that Han Han was not angry about it, but just said that I would tell him when I had time. The family sat together eating a hot meal, and my mother kept sandwiching fish for me to eat more.
Dad smiled smugly when he heard me compliment him on the deliciousness of his fish, a dinner, a feast. After eating, our family of three sat on the sofa and watched the sketches on TV like when we were children, my mother peeled walnuts and fed them to my mouth, and my father was full of smoke. I lay on my side laughing happily, forgetting my troubles, fearless of death, and began to reproduce this scene in my mind, I am the happiest person in the world with my family.
I slept soundly, and I watched the sun outside the window as another day passed. It's time to meet old friends today, and I called all my old friends and asked if they would have time to get together today, because it's the weekend when most of us are resting. A few people are out of town, and others can come over. I booked the hotel early, went over in advance to prepare, and the first one to come was not Zhang Zhi, but Ah Hua, whose real name is Zhang Guohua.
We are elementary school classmates and playmates in the same community, when I was a child, I often went to his house to play on the computer, the two of us opened the 4399 game together, and played late several times, my mother ran to someone's house to find me and slipped me back. Although we were not in the same school, we often played together, and we were my best playmates in childhood.
Ah Hua hugged me as soon as he entered the door, we only saw each other for the Chinese New Year last year and it was not a long time since we saw each other, and casually chatted about our recent life and work. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Zhicai hurriedly came, "I actually came early, I was in the hall, I am going to hold a wedding banquet in this hotel when I get married next month, I have to book a table in advance, otherwise I can't book it on the date." Zhang Zhi said, and hurriedly sent me and Ah Hua a round of cigarettes. They didn't know each other, so I introduced them to each other, and they shook hands. "Brother, when you saw my daughter-in-law that day, what do you think, you give me a check." Zhang Zhi asked me. "You're about to get married, and now let me check it, hahaha, your daughter-in-law is very good, she looks like a woman who can live, you stupid people have the foolish fortune to ask for a good daughter-in-law." I pointed at him and said that Zhang Zhi was still smiling silly.
The waiter opened the door, and came in with a long hair up to the waist, none of the Qianqian's hair was curly, and a pair of cold eyes always made people think that this person was too cold, but fortunately, her beauty was really too beautiful, and there was naturally a group of followers behind her.
The sisters came over and slapped me on the head with her jade hand without saying a word, "Lu Wei, why don't you call me when you come back now, why is the relationship weak?" If Zhang Zhi hadn't told me yesterday that you were back, I wouldn't have known, didn't you plan to call me today? She glared at me with a straight glare, and this cold beauty was Yang Kena, who was also a very good female friend of mine in high school.
Occasionally, I don't go to the evening self-study, Zhang Zhi and I still have her, sometimes the three of us go to the lake in the park to catch fish, once she slipped off the platform, Zhang Zhi and I were stunned to see her for a long time deliberately not to pull her, until she yelled to pull the old lady up, we laughed and pulled her up, of course, she was inevitably beaten. Because her family runs a snack bar, we often go over to eat and drink, and her parents haven't said anything to us who are very thick-skinned scoundrels, and they smile every time they go.
Of course, Zhang Zhi and I will not eat and drink in vain, every time a little hooligan in society harasses Yang Kena, we will always rush to teach a lesson. As a flower messenger, at that time, we often discussed what kind of person we would become in the future, I always wanted to be a lawyer at that time, and I wanted to make a big career in the court, Zhang Zhi wanted to be a racing car driver to participate in F1 races, and Yang Kena wanted to be an actress. As a result, no one realized my original dream, and I became a junior clerk in a financial company, working overtime and overtime every day. Zhang Zhi became a physical education teacher, teaching students how to play football every day, and Yang Kena became a great angel in white, tired and almost fainting on the operating table every day.
Over the years, due to various reasons, we have spent very little time together, and we have always missed one of the two. So this time it was not easy to get together. "How can it, forget that no one can forget Yang Da Beauty, I won't hurry up and put it on the table today to make amends for you." I said with a grin. Yang Da Mei snorted coldly and ignored me, I sighed in my heart that women are really holding grudges.
Then two more high school classmates who used to have a good relationship came one after another, and I asked everyone to hurry up and serve at the table. Before the ass sat hot, Zhang Zhi proposed to let me drink and play a circle first, I said bluntly, "I'm really sorry, everyone, my stomach is disobedient now, always give me a little situation, not long ago I went to the hospital to see a doctor and said that I have stomach problems, let me avoid alcohol and spicy for three months, take care of it, so today you drink well, I will replace wine with tea." ”
Zhang Zhi stood up and shouted, "I was told that I couldn't drink alcohol when I drank cephalosporin, and today I had a stomach problem, what's the matter, Lu Wei, do you think that the brothers don't drink as much as you, and I can't accompany you." "I expected this product to say that, so I showed him the fake medical records that I had prepared in advance on my mobile phone. This made this guy shut up, a group of people were talking and laughing eating and drinking, during which Zhang Zhi made fun of me and told everyone a lot of bad things when I was in high school, I was naturally not to be outdone, and also told his stories to everyone, Yang Kena also covered her stomach with a smile.
While the others were drinking and boxing, Yang Kena patted me on the shoulder, "Lu Wei, are you talking about a girlfriend now, when are you going to get married, Zhang Zhidu is about to get married, why are you still hanging on this day." "Why are you like my mother, you will naturally get married when you should get married, just talk about me, what about you workaholic, where is your marriage now?" I said with a smile. "Well, now talking about a policeman, we are both busy, we get together less and leave more all day long, and finally make an appointment to have a meal together, either he is busy or I am busy, or I bring food to his unit to eat together, or he brings food to my unit to eat together, that's all, if you get married, I will end up after I finish my graduate studies, I don't have time to think about this now." Yang Kena said helplessly.
"Workaholic, don't exhaust your body all day long for work, what is a woman doing so hard, women will be old after 30, and people like you will be old if they are not 30," I laughed and said. Yang Kena pinched me hard, every time she said that she couldn't talk about me, and I was often scolded by me when I was in school before.
Looking at these familiar old friends in front of me, my heart is very satisfied, it is enough to have three or two friends in the world, drink and eat meat together, have something to help and have nothing to do and not have much contact, and the relationship will not fade, as soon as we meet, it is still the same, I scold you, you scold me, and we will all grow up.
Zhang Zhi, the second fool, drank too much again, and kept saying that he was happy to see me, afraid that I would forget his good brother. I had to carry him, and I kept saying how could I forget you, and it was impossible for me to forget you. I asked Ah Hua to help him, and I was going to settle the account, but I don't know when Zhang Zhi had already settled.
I went over to ask Zhang Zhi when he would settle the account, and he vaguely said that he would have a treat that day, and he said that he would do it, and grinned and said, "What do we have to do with yours and mine, you invite me to invite, whoever invites you is the same, you must come over to me as a best man when I get married next month." ”
I didn't say anything, Yang Kena didn't drink when she drove over, just enough to drop Zhang Zhi and the other two classmates off the way, Ahua's daughter-in-law also drove over to pick him up, Ahua asked his daughter-in-law to send me back, I knew that if he sent me back, I would have to take a big detour. I just happened to get into a taxi and refused their kindness.
Sitting in the car, I unconsciously burst into tears, and this reunion was the final reunion. I definitely won't be able to come to Zhang Zhi's wedding, I can't make a hole for him on the wedding night, and I don't know if he will look like a black bear spirit in a suit.
