Chapter 9 Love is like wine, and the desire to get drunk is great
The day after arriving in Chengdu, we contacted Daqiang, and the three of them reunited after many years, and they could only smile and sigh about the past.
Daqiang is now the head of the grassroots branch of a state-owned bank here, standing in front of me in a suit and leather shoes, still looking so cynical, but I don't know when the hair on the top of his head is no longer so dense, and the hairline is much higher than it was at the beginning.
"Lu Wei, you finally have time to come and see me, it's been four years since I graduated, and my buddies have been busy working for so many years and haven't seen each other, why are you still so thin. Hey, Wang Zihan, hello, long time no see. Daqiang looked at us with a grin and said.
"What's the matter, when you become a leader, you're extremely smart? Why is the hairline so high? I pointed to his forehead.
"The child has no mother to talk about a long story, let's go for a walk, let's talk while eating." Daqiang sat in the passenger seat and showed us the way. He found a stir-fry restaurant and took us in, the lobby manager seemed to be very familiar with him, politely said a few words, and then led us straight to a box inside, and Daqiang beckoned us to sit down.
"Lu Wei, what are you doing in Chengdu this time, you definitely didn't come to see me." Daqiang said.
"Come and see you by the way, Wang Zihan and I are going to go to XZ, a trip that will go and go, how about you are interested in going together?" I say.
"I can't go, you two came in time, I'm about to call you today, I'll get married the day after tomorrow, you can leave after the wedding." Daqiang said flatly.
"What? Why is it so fast, a few months ago, we called and you told me that you are still single, why are you going to get married in a blink of an eye, who is your fiancée? We don't know. I said in surprise and looked at Wang Zihan, who also shook his head and said that he didn't know.
"Hahaha, how about I'm fast, now this society pays attention to efficiency in everything, and when you get old, you should naturally get married, your fiancée is a teacher, introduced by the family, and it's only been a month since I met, and I feel that all aspects are quite suitable, so I'm ready to get married." Daqiang said indifferently.
I opened my mouth to say and stopped, Daqiang saw what I meant, took a sip of tea and then looked up and said slowly, "Sometimes love is like drinking, longing to get drunk, but retreating to the thick bitterness, I used to always force myself, close my eyes and pinch my nose, swallow, but now it's no longer like this." Because the vomiting was too uncomfortable, I no longer wanted to try a second time after experiencing it, so I stopped pushing myself, and I no longer let go of everything and didn't get drunk and didn't return. Sitting in the KTV, you can drink tea with your head down, which is the age when you can drink the most but want to maintain your health early. The same is true of love, I used to always want to have a heart-rending and vigorous love, but now I just want to find someone who can get married. What is indispensable in youth is that you have no scruples, you don't get drunk and don't go home, you don't love, but life is more than love. ”
Wang Zihan and I listened quietly to him, "So, I think it's good now, it's not very important whether you love or not, it's just suitable, love is a thing, after getting married, it will slowly come there, right, Lu Wei, what about you, don't you talk about one now?" ”
"I'm only interested in men now, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Wang Zihan, we are a couple, you have to congratulate us." I said with a smile, Wang Zihan didn't refute it with a black line on his face at the moment. Daqiang laughed so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
The dishes were all ready, and the three of them chatted while eating. "By the way, this kid is now a talent, and he has become the vice president of a listed company, I didn't see it back then, this kid has accumulated a lot of money, and now he is the best in our group." After Daqiang finished speaking, he played the video to Xiaopang, "Xiaopang, what are you busy with?" The day after tomorrow, when I get married, you must come over. "Huh? What? Why did you get married so soon, you didn't fool me. Chubby in the video asked suspiciously.
"Hahaha, why am I fooling you, you see who this is." Daqiang pointed his phone screen at me.
"Yikes! Luwei, you're also here, why didn't you ask me to go with me, you all arrived and told me. Chubby said dissatisfiedly.
"Then come quickly, I'm waiting for you, I just found out today, I happened to pass by Chengdu, and Daqiang told me." I smiled at the screen.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy a ticket now." Chubby said.
"Okay, we'll wait for you." I say.
After dinner, Daqiang arranged a place for us to live, and then went to work on the marriage the day after tomorrow, we wanted to help him, but he firmly refused, let us have a good rest. Let me and Wang Zihan be a little embarrassed, Daqiang saw our concerns, smiled and reassured us, most of the things here are basically done, and there are still some customs at present, and we can't help much, so we left in a hurry, leaving Wang Zihan and I looking at each other.
Wang Zihan and I, went to Chengdu's Taikoo Li, Chunxi Road to take a look, the city is glamorous, high-rise buildings make me dizzy, I suggest to go to Chengdu's old teahouse to sit down, Wang Zihan drove along the map point, we went to the popular Pengzhen Guanyin Pavilion.
I found an empty seat and asked for two bowls of tea, and we sat under the eaves and enjoyed the comfortable time belonging to the people of Chengdu. My sight from near to far, the bottom of the pillars supporting the beams in the teahouse has been black and shiny, full of traces of time, the mottled walls are printed with *** images and slogans, in the dim teahouse, only the patio reveals a trace of sunshine, so that the teahouse will not be completely plunged into darkness, telling a kind of nostalgia that belongs to the city, and the fireworks of the market are also vividly expressed, making people have a feeling of being hidden in the city.
I took a sip of tea that wasn't too hot to my mouth, and although I couldn't quite understand what the old man at the next table was talking about, I still felt very comfortable.
"Wang Zihan, how long do you say we haven't enjoyed life so quietly like now? It turned out that they were all busy with their careers, where did they have time to sit here and drink tea, and their previous life was really boring. I said with a sigh.
"Well, only now can you experience this tranquility." He said.
We were sitting there bored, and a woman with a snow-white Samoyed came over, and saw that the surrounding area was basically full of people, except for the two of us, which was slightly empty. She took advantage of the situation to pull up a chair and sit down, I carefully looked at the beauty in front of me, the height can not be said to be very high barely 160, the eyes can not be said to be small, barely big, the bridge of the nose can not be said to be collapsed, barely said to be quite right, the facial features are evenly distributed on her small face, it cannot be said to be a beautiful fairy, it can barely be regarded as beautiful.
Perhaps she felt my impolite gaze, glared back at me and said, "Why, haven't you seen a beautiful woman?" I smiled and said, "I've never seen such a cute beauty, you look innocent and cute." ”
"Your accosting is really naïve and boring." She stopped looking at me and turned her head to tease her dog. "The president comes, sit next to my mother, and don't run around." The woman doted on the cute white Samoyed, Samoyed's paws kept pulling on the table, and after being slapped on the buttocks by the woman, she obediently lay on the ground, her tongue stretched out, and her eyes were still reluctant to give up on the table.
Wang Zihan and I looked at this lovely Samoyed, and couldn't help but go over and touch it twice, but fortunately, the woman didn't stop us and let us tease the dog there. "How old is it, the fur is so white." I asked.
"It's one year and eight months, can you just come out of the pet store after taking a shower?" The woman seemed to be very distressed and said.
"Then why is it called the president, not a prince or something?" I asked.
"Why? It's called Wang Ziduotu, and the president is the boss, I work for it, and all the money I earn is spent on it. The woman said indignantly.
"Hahaha, it makes sense, it makes sense." I smiled and touched the president's head, and the president stuck out his tongue and licked my palm.
I stood up, looked at the time and called Wang Zihan to prepare to leave, and when I left, the president also wanted to go with us, and the woman dragged the dog leash to not let it get its wish.
"This girl looks pretty good, do you have any ideas, if so, I'll help you get a WeChat ID?" I looked at Wang Zihan and said.
"I don't think so, don't you think so? We're a couple, I'm your boyfriend. Wang Zihan said to me with a wicked smile.
"Damn, isn't it, brother, do you really have a habit of breaking sleeves? I said that I don't want to work with me, and you have true love for me. I feigned surprise. Wang Zihan was countered by me, with a helpless face, I looked at his constipated expression and laughed.
Xiaopang is really fast, just finished talking in the morning, and it arrived in the evening, Daqiang is still busy, and I didn't call him, Wang Zihan and I came to the airport to pick up Xiaopang. We stood there from a distance and saw a ball of meat running towards us, this guy was getting fatter and fatter now, and he was wearing a pair of glasses, which just covered his two slitted eyes, and he looked a little bit like a vice president.
Chubby came over and hugged me and almost strangled me, "I said fat brother, are you going to kill me today?" I didn't treat you badly when I went to school, you can't repay your grievances with virtue. I tried hard to push him away, but I failed.
"I'm almost going to miss you, how long has it been since I saw you? It's been more than four years, and when I saw you, I also took two days off without saying a word, so let's get together this time. Chubby said happily. It was kind of loosening his two python-like arms and allowing me to catch my breath. Threesome, I was sandwiched in the middle, and I was constantly squeezed by Chubby, I was very depressed.
"Chubby, you have to lose weight, why are you fat like this now, look at your belly, it's not as good as your belly for ten years." I say.
Chubby scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "It's really much fatter now than before, and I often socialize, and you know that it's hard to be fat or drink or eat meat." But I'm getting better and better now, so how about we have a few drinks in the evening? ”
"Don't be, I have some stomach problems lately, I take medicine every day, I can't drink it, how good are you now?" I asked.
"If you ask me how much I drink, look in the direction of the sea." Chubby said proudly.
"Why the direction of the sea?" Wang Zihan asked me suspiciously.
"The direction of the sea, it's a lot, hahaha, it's okay, fatty, the cowhide is blowing louder and louder." I say.
"If you don't believe me, I'll show you a few bottles in the evening." Chubby still looked at me with two slits open.
Threesome, only Chubby is the fattest, and the meat ball sits in the back row, and it is obvious that the weight of the car has moved back a lot. Da Qiang also called to ask where we are now, I told him that we have picked up Xiaopang, let him not care, busy with his affairs do not have to worry about a few of us, the phone on the other side sounds very noisy, Da Qiang even said that the hospitality is not good and other polite words.
I basically didn't sleep all night, Xiaopang and Wang Zihan drank wine and I drank tea, and the three of them talked a lot, chatting about the stories of their student days, and also chatting about all kinds of sadness after work, but they didn't mention our love story. After all, when men are together, career matters are still more important than love.
When I woke up, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, I looked at my phone in a daze, Daqiang made three calls, and I immediately went back. I told him that we were late for chatting last night, and he let us wake up and have dinner together in the evening, and by the way, he took us to his wedding room to have a look. I stretched, my body was still a little tired, Wang Zihan drank a lot last night, and he was still asleep at the moment. I called Chubby next door three or four times but didn't wake him up, so I had to get up and clean up first.
I opened the curtain and lit a cigarette and looked outside, the clouds were thick, at first a few drops of rain fell from the sky, and then countless raindrops fell on the earth, it rained in the city, where did it rain?
