"So, you must have someone thinking about it, you sneezed, who do you think will miss you? Ay! I miss my wife so much! Aliang, you know what? My wife and I have only been married for half a month, I am in a hurry to catch the exam, leaving her alone at home to take care of my old mother, I am a little worried, and I don't know how my wife is doing at home. As he spoke, he felt sad in his heart, and his eyes became wet.

"Oh, Brother He, I miss my daughter-in-law a little bit when you say that. It's been a few days since I've been out, and I don't know how she's doing at home. Yuan Liang turned his head and looked out through the broken window on the second floor, his eyes were stunned, and he muttered in his mouth.

"Ah Liang, what's the matter, you miss your daughter-in-law too? Hey, I think we're just sympathetic, come and come, it's rare to meet a friend in another country who can talk, let's have a drink and chat tonight! ”

"No, no, no, I don't drink, I'm going to continue reading later?" Yuan Liang immediately refused.

"Ah Liang, if you say this, you don't want to give my brother face! It's fate that we live together today, right? What's more, today is still the ninth day of September, and it is a homesick festival, how can you not have a drink with me? It's not fun for me to drink alone, huh? Right? He was not angry, and persuaded him patiently.

Hearing this, Yuan Liang raised the corners of his lips and teased: "Brother He, hearing you say this, I can't stop drinking this glass of wine, right?" Okay, since Brother He sincerely wants it, then I'll have a drink or two with Brother He! ”

He looked up to the sky and smiled, then opened the door and shouted downstairs: "Xiao Er, send two dishes and a pot of boiling wine to the room C." After speaking, after getting an answer from the shopkeeper, he closed the door and walked in, and sat at a simple table with Yuan Liangduan and chatted.

Not long after, the shopkeeper quickly delivered two dishes and a pot of boiled wine, and asked, "Guest officer, who pays for this wine?" ”

He Yi said very boldly: "This wine and food is what I called, of course I paid for it, Xiao Er, you can remember the money for this wine and food first, and then settle it together when you check out." ”

"Hey, okay, then the guest officer, please drink slowly, Xiao Er won't let the guest officer drink." Xiao Er left straight after speaking.

He Yi smiled and put the wine in the tray on the table, rolled up his sleeves, slowly poured the wine for Yuan Liang, and then raised the wine to toast, and said: "Ah Liang, I will respect you first for this glass of wine, brother, I am very happy to meet you in the vast number of students who are rushing to take the exam, cheers." ”

"Cheers!"

After speaking, the two raised their wine glasses and drank them together.

He picked up the wine jug and wanted to pour wine, but was stopped by Yuan Liang and said, "Brother He, just now you toasted your brother with a glass of wine, then this time you will change your brother to toast you with a glass of wine, I hope that the two of us will go to high school together to catch the exam in the imperial capital." ”

"Okay, it must be high school, cheers."

Clink glasses, drink the second cup out.

The two picked up the chopsticks and ate the delicious side dishes on the table while drinking a little wine, and the scene was so uncomfortable. After that, why did he drink too much and talk to himself about a lot of things that happened to him.

Yuan Liang was also slightly drunk, he learned from the conversation why he came from a very remote mountain village, that mountain village is very poor and backward, he has no father at home, only an old mother, it was his mother who pulled him up with hard work, let him read and write, he studied hard for decades, just hoping to get a good reputation to repay his mother's nurturing grace.
