Lin Xiaoyu obviously heard the voice leaking from the receiver, and was very reasonable: "It's okay, you can go. I can just walk around my house, don't worry about me."
Seeing her say this, I stopped refusing and answered the phone: "Okay, wait, I'll be there soon."
Hang up the phone, I said hello to my family, and drove to the restaurant that Xiang mentioned.
On the way, Lin Xiaoyu’s considerate and sensible look just now echoed repeatedly in my mind.
With her temperament, she is neither noisy nor fussy, understands the general situation, knows how to give people space, and can deal with her elders appropriately. She is indeed the kind of woman who is most suitable to take home as a wife.
Humbling about our previous separation, my goal becomes clearer.
I secretly made up my mind: "Looks like I have to work harder. I have to make more money as soon as possible, buy a house early, and find a way to get her back."
The car quickly drove to Xianglong Hotel. Pushing open the door to the private room, there were three or four people sitting at the round table. Sure enough, they were all familiar faces.
Pliers was sitting in the main seat, his face was red from drinking, and he was spitting and talking.
Sitting next to him is Chen Zhipeng, from the next village. He was a playmate who fished and dug out bird's nests together when he was a child.
He grinned when he saw me, showing a familiar honest expression.
Another strong man with dark skin is Black Piggy, one year older than me. He grew up in the same village. His nickname has been growing since he was a kid.
Beside him, there was a quiet-looking woman sitting next to him. I didn’t recognize her, so I guessed she was the girlfriend or wife brought by the black piggy.
"Ouch! It's here!" Nipper was the first to see me, and stood up with a roar: "Huh? Just you? Where is your beautiful girlfriend? I even boasted to them for a long time, saying that your boy brought a fairy back, and I had to call him to open their eyes! Why didn't you bring him?"
I walked in with a smile, pulled out an empty chair and sat down. I took a bottle of beer and poured it on myself: "We are having a pig-killing dinner today. Many relatives are here. She drank a little too much with us. She really couldn't come, so she has rested."
"Hi! What a pity!" Pliers felt a little regretful.
But he immediately raised his glass again, "Forget it, just come! Drink three glasses by yourself, and you will be fined for being late, the old rules!"
Chen Zhipeng and Black Piggy also followed suit.
I smiled and drank three glasses in a row. After drinking the cold beer, those familiar memories came back.
I put down the empty glass and looked at the familiar faces on the table, and suddenly felt a long-lost sense of relaxation in my heart.
The atmosphere is still comfortable. There is no vain flattery, and there is no need to constantly guess which words have other meanings behind them.
Next, we started drinking. Chen Zhipeng smiled naively and drank while the black piggy held the bottle and blew into his mouth.
This kind of purity is something you can’t find at any of the wine tables in the city.
Especially when drinking with people like Zhang Guangtian, that guy always has the loudest voice, always talks in the same way, pats his chest and calls each other brothers, he seems to be more enthusiastic than anyone else.
But when it comes to drinking, I either hold the cup and say my stomach is not feeling well, or I pour the wine into the tea cup when no one is paying attention.
Or just be cunning and raise fish. What I drank was not wine, but my mind, calculations, and exhaustion.
After I finished playing around, it was the turn of the quiet woman next to the black piggy.
I poured a glass for her, refilled a glass of beer myself, raised the glass and signaled to her: "Sister-in-law, I did it, you can do whatever you want."
The woman heard the words, just smiled, still did not speak, but unexpectedly picked up the just-filled glass of beer in front of her, and finished it happily.
"Yes! There are so many sisters-in-law!" I was also impressed.
After three rounds of drinking, Pliers shouted: "Chen Hao, tell me how you got such a beautiful girlfriend?"
"You're already married, why are you asking?" I used to envy Pliers, who was not a good-looking person, but managed to marry the class beauty of our elementary school.
The reason is that the family has money, a car and a house.
Now I am beginning to understand why Lin Xiaoyu insists on me buying a car and a house. What women value more is, after all, a stable security.
钳子拍了拍旁边的陈志鹏：「他还单着呢，想找你取取经。」
我想起当初追林小雨那会儿，说白了就是脸皮够厚、死缠烂打。
with with me every day I would give her delicious food in different ways, and we got together like this,
But I can't teach Chen Zhipeng these tricks, as it is completely inconsistent with his personality.
I took a bite of food and responded calmly: "If you want to catch up with a girlfriend, you have to cast a wide net. If you see someone you like, take the initiative to chat, and there will always be one who will be impressed by you."
"But in my job, I don't have access to many women at all." Chen Zhipeng's job is to drive and deliver goods to township express stations.
Every day I just bring the goods to the station, and there is basically no need to interact with people.
At this time, the black piggy answered the phone, then raised his glass and said, "I have something else to do, so I have to leave first."
We finished the wine in the glass, and the pliers sent the black piglet out with great enthusiasm.
Seeing this scene, I felt that this was beyond the politeness between friends.
From the pliers, I actually saw a bit of Zhang Guangtian's flattery.
I guess there must be some kind of interest relationship between these two people.
Turning his head to look out the window, the black pig boy was getting on a Range Rover, while a driver was folding his battery car next to him.
After a while, the pliers came back from outside.
I couldn't help but wonder: "What does the black piggy do now? Even Land Rover drives."
"The piglets in our county are all supplied by his company, what do you think he does." Pliers said as he sat back down in his seat.
It turned out that he was in the breeding pig business, no wonder Pliers was so polite to him.
"Did I say something wrong just now? Why doesn't his wife like to talk to others?" I remembered that the woman never spoke much while drinking.
Pliers poured himself a glass of wine: "What you said is wrong."
I just wanted to ask what was wrong, Pliers continued.
"That woman is not his wife at all, she is his lover outside, and she is also a female college student. She is really enviable."
I also felt a little emotional in my heart, isn't it true for men once they have money? One at home and one outside.
This reminds me of two young nurses, Lin Xiaoyu and Su Yan.
Lin Xiaoyu is suitable for settling down at home, while Su Yan is more suitable for taking out to socialize.
But I know very well that such a life requires money to support it.
Although there are no problems at the moment, as time goes by, various contradictions will inevitably surface.
In the final analysis, I still have to work harder to make money.
At this time, Pliers suddenly suggested: "Chen Hao, stop drinking, I will take you to the next game."
"Where are you going?" I didn't expect that he had arranged other games.
"You'll know after you go there." said Qiang, standing up and taking the initiative to pay the bill.
