Chapter 18 18

I enjoy writing stories more and more, and watching TV series and movies more and more.There are always traces of myself in the stories I write, and I can always find my own shadow in various movies and TV shows, so Gao Yuan always says that I have no great prospects. Yes, I admit that I am really not a good writer. As a storyteller, at best, I just use words as a tool to make a living. After sending Hu Jun home that day, Li Qiong drove me and Gao Yuan around the Fourth Ring Road three times.I got motion sickness unprecedentedly that day, and the filth in my stomach rushed up crazily. Li Qiong pulled over the car, and I opened the car door and rushed out. The filth spewed out from my mouth and nostrils, which was quite spectacular.Li Qiong looked at my miserable situation and said something very profound. She said, "Look, what I spit out are all thoughts!" My thinking was a little fuzzy at the time, but I heard this sentence very clearly. My heart hurts very much.

In the deep winter of Beijing, approaching the end of the new year, at midnight, the air is filled with humidity, and a snowstorm is brewing. Back in the car, no one spoke anymore, Li Qiong drove the car very steadily, until I reached the stairs of my house, I was dragged out of the car by Gao Yuan in a daze, Li Qiong said to Gao Yuan very flatly, "Go back Get her some boiled water and have a good sleep." She left without even saying goodbye to me. I was sick, had a high fever, and slept on the bed for several days with my head covered. Gao Gao took good care of me. He always thought that my recovery was too slow after getting sick. After looking for the medicine and pouring water, I was busy running around, and finally got better. He sat down beside me, put his hand on my forehead, rubbed it back and forth twice, and said in a wishing tone: "When you get better, Let's go back to my parents' house to celebrate the New Year together." The parents he said were his parents. Two years ago, we would be separated for a few days when the Spring Festival came. He went back to his house and I went to mine. He went back to his house to celebrate the New Year together, and he never came back to my house with me to celebrate the New Year. I even felt that he was not going to marry me because of this. I have quarreled about things, I don’t know when I don’t care anymore, this year’s Spring Festival, I am still planning to spend it with my parents, I want to take them to Hainan for the Spring Festival, and the air ticket is booked.

I told Gao Yuan, "When will you go to Pricesmart and bring those three chairs back, and it's time to go home and report." When we were visiting Pricesmart that day, we saw a new type of massage chair. Can be massaged, his mother loves to play mahjong, always complaining about cervical spine pain, my dad’s waist is bad, so we decided to buy three, for the old men and women on both sides, and the other for Zhang Xiaobei’s old man The things we bring home for the Spring Festival are all the same. "Hu Jun said to come over in the afternoon, and later he drove us together." He was cleaning the window, and suddenly ran to the kitchen cabinet to bring in two bottles of medicinal wine looted from Ningxia, "Give this to your dad, we The old man probably got angry after drinking it." When he got it back, he was regarded as a treasure. It is said that it is more expensive than Louis XIII. For a while, I really couldn't understand how this kid's ideological realm was raised to such a high level. "Yohe, you're sensible." I lay on the bed, covered tightly with the quilt and exposed my head outside, stretching my neck so long, I praised Gao Yuan.He gave me a blank look, "Look at your stretched neck, how handsome you are." Handsome is a tortoise he raised, and I feel very happy when he said that.

Someone knocked on the door, and Gao Yuan let Zhang Xiaobei in. I heard the two of them exchanging a few words in the living room, and then Zhang Xiaobei followed into the bedroom. He was wearing a beige suit, and went straight to my bed, "What's wrong with the first dawn, what's wrong with the New Year's Eve?" I asked again Stretching my neck and looking back, I didn't see Zhang Mengmeng, "What's wrong with you, where's my concubine?" I got angry when I saw Zhang Xiaobei. "Going back to my hometown in Hunan, are you really sick? Didn't you go to the hospital?" He sat down on the edge of the bed, reminding me of the scene of cadres going to the countryside to condolences to the people in the news broadcast. There was a spasm in my stomach and I almost spit out thoughts Come.

Gao Yuan poured him a glass of water, Zhang Xiaobei lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and took out two envelopes from his small leather bag. "As usual, New Year's money," he put one of the envelopes on the bedside table, which contained 10,000 yuan. I also forgot when he started giving me New Year's money every year.He took another envelope and said to me, "Here is a shopping card, which is circulated in all major shopping malls in Beijing." The way the rich connect with our middle class is different. It is either cash or vouchers. Sometimes I think , which is very symbolic, and it indicates that the emotion between us is as strong as RMB.

Speaking of which, Zhang Xiaobei would come to my house like this every year at this time. I remember that a few years ago, I had no money. I was a small reporter who ran errands, and my salary was so pitiful that I could occasionally receive two small red envelopes. It’s not a big deal. During the Chinese New Year, at most, our unit will give out some rotten apples, salted octopus or something. Zhang Xiaobei will also come at that time, and send a few boxes of fresh fruits. At that time, I was very satisfied. I felt that Zhang Xiaobei was a good person in my heart. Thinking of the hardships of our working people, I have not been short of money in the past two years. With so much gratitude, sometimes I also think, Chu Xiao, why are you!Zhang Xiaobei doesn't owe you anything, you should at least say thank you from the bottom of your heart, but when I saw Zhang Xiaobei's more or less satisfied and comfortable expression, I became more and more confident.The way people express their feelings is different. Gao Yuan and I belong to the more humane kind. For example, if I give a massage chair to Zhang Xiaobei’s old man, it will definitely be more than 2,000 yuan more than giving the old man directly at a discounted price. Money moved him even more. I don't know if it's because Zhang Xiaobei really doesn't understand this truth or because he's used to this pale way of expression, or how to say that the quality of Chinese people needs to be improved.

If you want me to say that people like Gao Yuan and I definitely cannot be leaders, people like us are flawed in character. After receiving gifts from others, my words softened immediately, "Didn't you go to see Li Qiong's parents?" "I've been there." Zhang Xiaobei looked very sad, "I saved some money. The old man has been in poor health for the past two years. I said I will get him a passport after the Chinese New Year, so I can go wander around in Xinmatai." "Do you remember what the old man likes to eat the most?" I deliberately teased Zhang Xiaobei, "When will you get another box of Pipi shrimp for the old man, it's alive."

Zhang Xiaobei smiled wryly, "Who still eats that? Lobsters can be eaten as cornbread." "What's the matter? Are you really ready to leave?" While cleaning the glass, Gao Yuan gave me a dissatisfied look at my question, and I pretended not to see it. "Let's talk about it after a year." "Zhang Xiaobei, people say that women get married because their hearts are too soft, and men get divorced because they are hurt. Why is that not the case with your family? Li Qiong married because his heart was too soft, but now he wants to marry because he is hurt. Divorce, why don't you feel any condemnation of conscience..."

"Chu Xiao, can you help me see if this piece of glass is clean?" Gao Yuan interrupted me. I took a look and said, "My heart, it would be nice if it was as easy to clean as glass." Hearing this, Gao Yuan threw the rag on the window sill angrily. "Do you think that rag is me? It's useless to throw it, you have to wash it later." "Are you fucking sick or not?" Gao Gao was anxious, he really has a bad temper, and when I was anxious, his five sense organs would tangle together, his face was like a flower. "If you are sick, you are not sick." It feels good to challenge others, especially when you know that others dare not do anything to you. I don't understand how a young man with a sense of justice like Gao Yuan treats Zhang Xiaobei This irresponsible man doesn't even have the courage to listen to my condemnation of him!It's really not old.

"What are you trying to do?" Gao Yuan's anger escalated significantly. "To be brave is not to be brave." "Dog temper!" Zhang Xiaobei said to me. "She's messed up!" Gao Yuan also concluded, without even a sign of exiting, he threw down the half-cleaned glass, and ran to the living room to watch TV alone, which made me very passive. "Okay, once you, a saboteur, came, the stability and unity of our family was also broken!" I gave Zhang Xiaobei a blank look, and found a step for myself, "Hurry up and coax me!" "If Gao Yuan doesn't let you get mentally ill, I'll call you uncle!"

"Hmph, if Li Qiong doesn't let you get mentally ill, I'll call you uncle!" "What are you doing?" Zhang Xiaobei's anger also broke out, and his face was anxious. "Energetic is not exciting." I have such a good temper, they have treated me like this, and I am so amiable. "Fuck, I really want to slap you!" Zhang Xiaobei picked up the small leather bag and walked out. "Hey, wait, wait." As soon as I yelled, Zhang Xiaobei stopped at the door, "Bring me a piece of paper and wipe my nose." Man, I really can’t say it. For a patient like me who asked him to wipe my nose with a paper towel, Zhang Xiaobei seemed so excited. He picked up the rag that was used to wipe the glass on the plateau and threw it at me. No, I don't look like a CEO, if I hadn't quickly retracted my head back into the bed, the dirty rag would have fallen on my face. Hmph, don't think the world is changing fast, I understand everything.
