Brother Li laughed, "Yeah, so this kid is stupid!"
The squid touched his head, looked at his wife, and looked at his elder brother, "I don't seem to have good words to hear what you said, but it seems like I'm complimenting me again!"
Enchanting smiled and said, "I'm complimenting you!"
The squid asked, "What do you mean? Why doesn't Xiaobo want to see Qiqi?"
Enchanting said: "If Xiaobo is like us, he will go to see him. If he finds that he is different from us, then he has to think about many things, such as whether Qiqi is married, does he have a boyfriend? Is it worthy or not, is it possible, how big is it, will it hurt Qi Qi..."
The squid was dizzy, "Won't he ask? You'll know as soon as you meet him! What's wrong with you?"
Enchanting looked at Brother Li helplessly, with a look of "Look, I'm sure I'm right", Brother Li smiled and dragged the squid, "Hurry up and play ball, don't think about it anymore."
Xiaobo walked over with a smile, "What did you say?"
Brother Li said, "Just say you! Don't hurry to get the pole!"
Xiaobo went to get the pole, and while watching the battle, he waited for the next round.
Enchanting looked at the three of them and went out to buy barbecue for them with a smile.
The three brothers played billiards all night, drank a box of beer, and killed three bottles of liquor. Brother Li made Xiaobo drunk with a little intention.
When Xiaobo woke up the next day, he found that it was four o'clock in the afternoon. With sweat on his forehead, he hurried to take a shower, scolding himself while taking a shower.
After taking a bath, I saw Brother Li sitting in the living room, and said to him with a lazy waist: "I haven't eaten for a day, let's go to dinner."
Xiaobo glanced at the clock on the wall from the corner of his eyes, but said nothing.
Brother Li, however, didn't notice his expression at all, pushed Xiaobo out the door, and happily called Squid and Enchanting to have dinner together.
After tossing for a long time, the four talents gathered in the restaurant, and enchanting also brought the children.
Because Xiaobo has a good temperament, he has always had a predestined relationship with children. When the little guy sees him, he crawls on top of him. Xiaobo can only cheer himself up and coax the little guy to play.
After eating a meal, the dishes were beaten, the chopsticks fell, and the child cried. At first, Xiaobo was patient, and his eyes kept scanning the watch on his wrist. Later, he began to feel a little cold. Resignation is like a person rowing a small boat trying to go upstream, sweating profusely, but he finds that the paddle in his hand is too thin to withstand the rapids. Slowly, he begins to accept his fate, Just go with the flow!
After dinner, it was almost eight o'clock when the four of them walked out of the restaurant.
It was dark late, the sun had not yet set, the sky was a warm blue, with wisps of clouds floating in the sky like the scales of goldfish.
Enchanting hugged the child and looked up at the sky. The child was tired from playing and fell asleep on her mother's shoulder.
The squid covered the child with a small coat while watching what Xiaobo wanted to say. Brother Li waved at him and ordered, "Squid, you bring the enchanting and child home, and I will send Xiaobo."
Brother Li concentrates on driving the car, Xiaobo looks ahead, but his line of sight does not have any focal length.
The two brothers sat side by side without saying a word.
When Xiaobo found out, Brother Li had already driven his car to the river. He parked the car beside the embankment. Xiaobo looked at him puzzled, "Don't you mean to go home?"
Li Ge pulled open the door, "Get down!" His expression was very serious, showing the majesty he had when he was the eldest brother.
Xiaobo got out of the car silently, and Brother Li led him along the embankment, walking slowly.
Going to an open place, Brother Li gave Xiaobo a cigarette, and the two of them lay on the railing, watching the river, smoking a cigarette.
"Xiao Bo, I deliberately got you drunk last night. You are good at everything, but you are too careful. I don't want you to think about this matter over and over again."
"I know." Xiaobo's expression was calm.
"Now tell me the truth, what do you think?"
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it."
"Then think about it now, start from the beginning."
Xiaobo smoked silently, and after a long while, he said, "I really regarded her as a younger sister, or as another me."
"what about now?"
"I don't think of her often in these years, but every time I am happiest and least happy, I will think of the days we were together. Two people are reading in the same room, and they don't say a word, but they can see each other as soon as they look up. , very relieved. And riding a bicycle, going to the alley to find snacks together, both of them are stingy, and they buy peanut candy one by one, but we are all very happy. She likes listening to old Shanghai songs, She always dragged me to listen to her together, which made me gradually like listening to these songs."
The valve of memory opened, and all the past events came to my face, "One time I was helping my mother turn the gloves at home, and she came to me. The house was stuffy and hot, but she kept helping me turn the gloves. After we came out, I said Invite her to eat popsicles and let her choose whatever she wants. You’re welcome. She pretended to choose the cheapest one for a long time, and said that she just likes to eat it. I will watch it every time. Once someone tore off a piece of the list, and she couldn’t see my ranking, so she put her toes on her toes and counted up one by one with two fingers, inferring my ranking, I happened to meet , patted her head from behind and asked her what she was doing, she turned her head and didn't speak, just smirked at me. But you call her stupid. At that time, I always thought about going to college in the future and wanting to part ways with you. I don't want to owe you too much, but she specially reminded me not to do this, it will hurt your heart... "
When Xiaobo said that, he slowly lost his voice and just stared at the sparkling water in a daze.
Brother Li didn't pay any attention to him, and let him figure it out on his own.
After a long time, Xiaobo said softly: "I think you are right, I have been unconsciously comparing all women with her over the years, and I always want to find that feeling of peace of mind without saying a word, even if Penniless and still able to laugh with enthusiasm, you can understand each other’s tacit understanding at a glance when you look at each other in a noisy crowd, and no matter what happens, you know that the other party will not abandon your own.” Xiaobo raised his head and stared at the tree. There was a red cloud at the top of the tip, "If it never happened, I might have been married long ago, but because I did, I knew that feeling in this world really existed, so I wouldn't compromise."
Back then, Xiaobo faced too much pressure in life, and his future was dark. It was good to be able to survive. He didn't have the heart to think about love at all. Beautiful love has already come, but when he realized it, he found that it had been lost.
Brother Li took a deep breath and said, "Qi Qi is very good, but you and her are already from two different worlds. They are top students from Tsinghua University and have drank foreign ink. What are you? You graduated from high school. There is no certificate! This is not only an academic degree, but also a person's experience, vision, social status, and interpersonal network."
Xiaobo lowered his head and looked at his hand without saying a word.
Brother Li said: "She had a tacit understanding with you before, because she and you lived in the same world. What do you use to have a tacit understanding with her now? When she listens to English songs, can you accompany her to listen to her? She brings When you go to see your classmates, how should you introduce them? Oh, a man who hasn't even finished high school? What will her classmates think of her? We are no longer children, and we all know that people actually live in the eyes of others."
Brother Li patted Xiaobo on the shoulder, "This is a real world, you have always been rational, and you should understand that it is impossible between you!" Brother Li squeezed the cigarette butt, took the last puff, and threw the cigarette butt to the ground, "You ask A hundred people, a hundred people will tell you not to think about it.”
Xiaobo raised his head, smiled and said, "I know, I never thought about it, brother, take me home!"
Brother Li stepped on the cigarette butt, crushed the cigarette, and suddenly smashed Xiaobo twice, causing Xiaobo to stagger and take a few big steps back.
Brother Li pointed at him and scolded: "You know shit! Do you know how many people tell Lao Tzu that you are too shrewd and let me beware of you? But I don't believe in that evil, so I believe in you! When the squid just came out of prison , even we persuaded him to stop thinking about enchanting, people are doing well now, but squid don't care, they have to go to enchanting, what is the result? You can see it! Our stupid brother who has been in prison is married to a The capable and smart beauty is back! How many people are so surprised that their jaws cannot be closed? Over the years, how many people have persuaded you to leave me in front of you and start your own business, but why didn't you do it? Such an obvious good thing, what the hell are you doing? did not do?"
Xiaobo was silent.
Brother Li roared loudly: "Xu Xiaobo, have you lived a comfortable life for too long and forgot our origins? We are people who came out to mess around! They are hooligans who dare to do anything! You are not the ones who are forward-looking. Good people looking back! Have you forgotten why you can survive and live better than others? You have nothing but courage and courage. The reason and rules set by society are not for people like us. According to the rules of those smart people, our group has been fucked up long ago! Who the hell ruled that high school students can't marry a doctor? Who the fuck ruled that a man in a small city is not worthy of a girl in a big city? Who he is Mom has stipulated that we are inferior to those elites? Who the fuck stipulates that whoever is more honorable? We also struggled step by step, sweating and suffering a lot more than them! I am very proud of myself You motherfucker should be proud of yourself! Don't say she is not a princess, Luo Qiqi, even if she is a princess, you are worthy of it!"
Xiaobo stared blankly at Brother Li with a complicated expression.
Brother Li said: "Hurry up and go see her for me! No matter if she is married or has a boyfriend, go and say what she needs to say and do what she needs to do. No matter what the result is, at least she has fought hard. , I have no regrets, a manly man can afford it, there is still a long way to go, there are many good days, and there are also many good women!"
Brother Li stroked his hair with both hands, took a few breaths, and finally calmed down his anger.
Xiaobo looked at the sky subconsciously, the sun had already set, only the red glow of the sky reflected the last splendor.
It's been a whole day, will Qi Qi still be waiting
Brother Li also looked at the sky and said gently: "I deliberately delayed until now. If years of love can't exchange for a day of waiting, then there is no need to meet. If she is still the Qiqi in our memory , she must still be waiting for you, and she will definitely see you! No matter what you think in your heart, what will happen in the future, can't she wait a day for you to see her? "
"Big brother..." Xiaobo wanted to say something, but his voice broke in his throat.
Brother Li stared at him, raising his leg to kick, "Don't go? Do you really want me to press you to go?"
Xiaobo dodged to avoid him, nodded to Brother Li, and walked quickly along the river bank.
Brother Li watched Xiaobo's back disappear into the night.
He lit another cigarette, leaned on the railing, facing the evening wind, smoking and smiling.
The red clouds in the sky are shedding their gorgeous clothes little by little, returning to darkness, and tomorrow is a new day.
No one really knows what tomorrow will be like, will it be cloudy or sunny? But that doesn't matter. What matters is that there will be tomorrow after tomorrow. As long as life is not over, there will always be another tomorrow, and we can always hope that the next moment will be the happiness we want.
What really lights up life is not the scenery of tomorrow, but the good hope.
We walk bravely with good hopes, get up when we fall, work hard when we fail, always believe that tomorrow will be better, and always believe that no matter how ordinary we are, we will have our own happiness, this is ordinary life The most splendid scenery.
