Gu Qi has never been a greedy person, and there is still a third of half a glass of spirits, so he is very sober and persuades Liu Xinnian not to drink it anymore.

Liu Xinnian pouted aggrievedly: "Last year, Lao Guo also gave me a bottle, and I was like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng, and I drank it in a few minutes." After Lao Guo found out later, he scolded me for being a violent person, and he was reluctant to send me this year. ”

Gu Qi chuckled: "Lao Guo is afraid that you will get drunk and make a mistake." This wine is very strong, and after a few glasses, I am already slightly drunk, how can I drink it all at once. You shouldn't be drunk for days, right? ”

"Alas......" Liu Xinnian couldn't help but sigh and whispered: "I was in a really bad mood at that time, and I was alone for the New Year, and I couldn't put it down when I picked up the cup." ”

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it over there at the branch?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Xinnian explained: "I spent the New Year at the branch last year and didn't come back at all. ”

At this time, Chen Xingling wrung a pot of boiling water from the kitchen, helped add water, and handed over two long-handled spoons.

"The soup is not too spicy, take a few sips of hot soup to warm up."

Gu Qi looked at his wife gently, and said gently: "Xing'er, are you tired today?" Why don't you go and rest first? ”

"Not tired." Chen Xingling chuckled: "I usually go to bed at nine or ten o'clock, but now I'm not sleepy at all." Hot water is boiling on the stove, so you can take a comfortable hot bath later and then take a break. ”

Gu Qi's heart was warm, and he nodded: "Okay." ”

Liu Xinnian saw that their husband and wife cared about each other, and they were sweet and envious of others, and couldn't help but think of the person hidden in their hearts for a while, maybe they were affected by alcohol, and their eyes were red unconsciously.

Chen Xingling was a little embarrassed, afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he quietly retreated and returned to the kitchen to wait for the water on the stove.

didn't want to listen to other people's privacy, but in the dead of night, Liu Xinnian's voice has always been hearty and loud, so even if she hid in the kitchen, she could still hear it clearly.

Gu Qi was secretly strange, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Liu, are you sad about anything?" ”

“…… It's the twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar! Liu Xinnian's voice was slightly hoarse, and he said: "Last year was also such a day!" She left in a car...... That's it! It's been a whole year...... Don't give me any news...... I don't know where she's gone. ”

Gu Qi heard it in a fog, and he had never been good at expressing his feelings, and he spoke stiffly.

"It's all in the past, don't think about it."

Liu Xinnian slapped the table excitedly and shouted: "How can I not want to!" I used to force myself not to! But I can't do it! It's me! It's me who is sorry for her! I disappointed her too completely, or she wouldn't have ended up walking away! ”

Gu Qi was stunned in place, and after reacting, he seriously brushed the meat and poured wine for the other party.

"Brother Liu, eat, keep drinking."

Liu Xinnian took another cup and let out a long and refreshing "ah.......

"Archie, let's be so good that I dare to drink with you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't want to or dare, for fear that I wouldn't be able to control my emotions when I drank, and I was afraid that I would lose my words after drinking. It's been a whole year since I dared to drink like this. It's because ...... Because today's day is so special......"

Gu Qi saw that the cup was empty again, and seriously poured it again.

"Brother Liu, let's continue drinking."

Liu Xinnian raised his eyes and glared at him, and asked depressedly: "Archie, do you know what I envy you the most?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Qi didn't know why.

Liu Xinnian's hand suddenly rested heavily on his shoulder, and his other hand shook.

"It's not your talent and cleverness, it's not that you can draw the kind of drawings I can't even read, it's - your little family."

Gu Qi smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Liu Xinnian was obviously half-drunk, and what he said was half-true, he didn't want to talk too much with the drunkard, so he had to talk to his wife about the current situation at home later.

Liu Xinnian continued: "You have a heart-to-heart wife, and a son who is so cute and smart—what I envy most is your warm and loving family. People, if there were no accidents and not too many illnesses, they would have lived for sixty or seventy years. How can some people live so well, so happy, and some can't...... Or even live in pain for the rest of your life. ”

"It's all gone." Gu Qi spooned half a bowl of hot soup for him and reminded: "It's a little hot, drink it later." ”

Liu Xinnian didn't hear it, and murmured: "It's over? What happened? The old man is gone, but the new man is gone. The old people are entangled, and the new people have been waiting for many years. The old people blame me for being ruthless, and the new people also complain about me for being ruthless. I can't get rid of the old people, I don't want to be sorry for the new people, but in the end, I can only be sorry for the new people, and in the end, I am sorry for the old people and sorry for the new people. In life, I think I am worthy of my parents and my co-workers and brothers around me, but I can't stand those who love me and the people I love. ”

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and urged: "Drink the soup." ”

It was like a tongue twister, and if he hadn't had a good memory and could hear it, others would have thought he was drunk and talking nonsense.

Liu Xinnian didn't drink the soup, but picked up the wine glass in front of him again, and took another sip.

Gu Qi couldn't help but persuade: "Drink slowly." ”

It seems that even if Brother Liu is divorced, he is still unhappy, and he may have missed a very important person.

Liu Xinnian shook it, looked at the empty wine glass, and couldn't help urging: "Archie, what are you doing?" Don't want me to drink good wine? Yes? Pour your wine! ”

Gu Qi looked at the wine bottle that was already half gone, and he couldn't laugh or cry, but he still obediently helped him pour more glasses.

"It's not that you can't be reluctant, it's that you can't drink too fast."

Liu Xinnian sighed softly and whispered: "Archie, what do you say I should do?" ”

"What to do?" Gu Qi calmly ate the hot tomatoes and said, "It's time to go to work, it's time to eat and drink." No matter what happens, life has to go on. ”

Liu Xinnian listened to it and looked at him with melancholy and aggrieved eyes.

"Am I not like this now? Didn't I get to work properly? Am I not living a good life? ”

Gu Qi nodded perfunctorily, not wanting to worry about anything with the drunkard.

"Yes, so you're doing well."

Liu Xinnian's eyes were red, and he choked: "I, I...... No matter how well I do, no one appreciates it...... She's gone, and I can't find her anymore. ”

"Hmm." Gu Qi continued to bury his head in eating.

Liu Xinnian squinted his eyes and stared at him, asking, "Do you know where she is?" Did you know? ”

"I don't know." Gu Qi was eating fragrant noodles and beef, and he was in a very happy mood.

Beef is hard to buy, and even if the shipyard is a large unit canteen, you can't eat beef two or three times a year, and it's all a few pieces.

Unexpectedly, Xing'er cut the beef so thinly, and it was immediately scalded when it was put into the pot, the taste was tender and smooth, and it was delicious!

It's the first time I've eaten so much for more than half a month on a business trip - it feels so good to go home!

Liu Xinnian's mood couldn't be worse: "You are so smart, how can you not know?" Did you deliberately not tell me? ”

"Hmm." Gu Qi ate by himself, very perfunctory.

Liu Xinnian was angry, and asked with a sinking face, "Why?" Why can't she give me a little more time? I told her that I still needed time, and I couldn't promise her - why did she delay a few months if she could wait for me for so many years? Can't you wait a few more months? ”

Gu Qi let out an "oh" and ate happily.

"Bang!" Liu Xinnian suddenly patted the table, glared at Gu Qi and asked, "Why do you say?" What do you do not say? ”

Gu Qi looked dazed, and didn't know how to answer at all.

Liu Xinnian urged in a deep voice: "Say it quickly!" ”

Gu Qi: "......"

Liu Xinnian asked with red eyes: "Why?" Why? You can wait for me for so many years, why can't you wait a few more months? Why?!! ”

Gu Qi was extremely embarrassed, and asked for help to look around.

"That...... Didn't you ask her? I don't know her, and I don't know why. ”

Liu Xinnian couldn't help but complain: "You only know your daughter-in-law!" You know her! You don't even look at the other women! ”

Gu Qi naturally asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Liu Xinnian shouted: "You've seen her!" ”

Gu Qi: "......"???
