Life is like a road. After reaching a certain age, you will find that your friends around you are overtaking one after another, leaving you behind.
Some people have all had children, some are just married, and some are even still single.
From the full moon banquet in November to the end of the year, Qin Guanglin participated in two classmates' weddings. Fortunately, he had already agreed with He Wu to get married next year, otherwise he would have to die in a hurry.
"Huh... why do you think people get married?"
Chen Rui and Qin Guanglin were walking on the side of the street, and the snow that had just fallen creaked when they stepped on it. He wrapped his neckline and asked while breathing cold mist.
The winter in Los Angeles is basically covered in snow. When the old snow has not yet melted, the new snow is falling. In addition to the roads being cleared by snowplows, roads will be cleared where pedestrians will walk. Come.
Qin Guanglin was wrapped in a thick scarf, why not weave it by himself, it was too warm, he walked leisurely with his hands in his pockets, and said strangely: "Isn't this a normal thing? How can you have children if you don't get married? Humans don't have children. How does civilization survive?"
"It can be destroyed."
"I found out that you have anti-human tendencies, who will read your comics after destroying them?"
"Humanity is destroyed, comics are a fart, and you are anti-humanity."
Chen Rui had already walked to the bank as he spoke, and pushed open the thick glass door to go in. Suddenly, a warm feeling rushed over his face, and he couldn't help shivering, feeling much more comfortable.
It was the end of the year, and year-end bonuses and bonuses were going to be issued, so he and Qin Guanglin came out to withdraw the money.
"Can I just punch in my share?" Qin Guanglin really didn't want to follow him to withdraw the money now, and then take the cash to the bank to deposit it tomorrow. It would be extremely troublesome.
Chen Rui took the number and sat with Qin Guanglin on the empty seat next to him, saying: "Can't be special, cash feels so good."
"You just punch in the card, and everyone is also very happy."
"You don't understand this. The cash looks shocking and powerful, and there are quite a few married people in the company now. Let them carry a pocket of cash back to show their wives. Wouldn't it be a bit of a face? Even if they are single Yeah, it's not the same as looking at numbers on a phone."
"Fancy bells and whistles."
Qin Guanglin was speechless, shook his head and said, "You don't get married yourself, and you worry about them getting married every day."
"Spread love and peace." Chen Rui grinned, "I've worked hard for the continuation of human civilization, I'm being lazy, of course I have to think more about you."
"I can thank you very much."
…
…
Returning home with a bag full of money at night, Qin Guanglin slumped on the sofa like an old man, throwing the plastic bag on the table.
"What?" He Wei poked his head out with a shovel.
"Look, open it and have a look."
"Tch..."
Why not open it and take a look, then return to the kitchen with pursed lips, "I thought it was something, your crazy boss found gold again?"
"Hey, aren't you happy to see money?"
Qin Guanglin sat up on his back, took out a stack from inside, and flipped through it, "Didn't you like to touch it before? It's just the end of the year, touch it enough, listen to this sound... how nice it is."
The most elated time for a man at home is when he is in bed... Bah, when he comes back with money.
It costs money to do anything.
"I won't save this money. I'll buy a safe and put it at home. I'll keep it in cash. I'll see if I can save more than a hundred thousand next year. When I go to your house to hire you, I'll take the cash—boom! I hate your family so much." On the table, I bought you back."
Qin Guanglin was sitting alone in the living room talking to himself, throwing money around on the table, not getting in the way if he didn't hear the kitchen's response, and happily playing with himself, like a fool.
Right now, I basically have everything I need, and the sense of urgency that I had before disappeared instantly. I just waited to get married and have a baby, and then I would save a dowry for her when the baby was ready to be born. Now I can relax a little bit.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, isn't it dirty?" He Wei came out with the dishes and saw that he was still playing, he let out a disgusted sigh.
"Come here... you will go back the day after tomorrow, right?"
Qin Guanglin asked while leaning over to wash his hands.
"Well, didn't you just say it yesterday?"
"Treasure this Chinese New Year well. After this year, you will have to spend it with me next year." He giggled, and as the year approached, his mood became better. I still think three years is a long time to play, and now it's time to blink.
Step into the ranks of married people, just this year.
"See what you can."
Why not roll your eyes, put the dishes and chopsticks and turn your head to look out the balcony window. The community has already been decorated with lights and colorful flags, and a long red rope is strung together on both sides of the road, with colorful fluorescent lights hanging on it.
Before I knew it, it had been three years.
In terms of the whole life, three years is just a short moment, but now these three years are the most changing node.
Graduation, work, acquaintance, marriage, everything has accumulated in these few years.
"What New Year's resolution do you have?" Qin Guanglin wiped his hands casually after washing, came over and sat down and asked, "Mr. Qin, who has great powers, can try to help you fulfill it."
"No."
"How can a person have no desire? Tell me."
"What about you? What wish do you have?" Why not ask back.
"Me? I..." Qin Guanglin looked up and thought.
The matter of getting married has already been decided, so this is not a wish; children will naturally come after they get married, and it is not a matter of wish or not; other than that, it seems that there is really nothing special to want.
Salted fish doesn't even have a few wishes...
He might as well wait for a while to see that he couldn't speak, and said, "Look, you haven't either."
"Yes, um... I hope the manga will sell well." Qin Guanglin finally came up with one.
If it sells well, it will not only enrich the treasury, but also increase the reputation, and Xiao Yu can also get a share of it. This is a good thing in many ways.
When the time comes, I will sit at the old man's house. If any relatives and friends drop by, I can introduce: This is Mr. Qin, a well-known cartoonist—
Ho, face!
"I can't help you here, you can make a wish to Lord Stove."
Why not shrugged, paused for a while and smiled, "I also have a wish."
"What wish?"
"I hope your comics can't be sold." She shook her head at Qin Guanglin happily, "Then your company went bankrupt and closed down, and you came back in despair and let me take care of you."
"Dream your dream, wait for me to sell it for 100,000."
"Tch, I don't even have one hundred thousand single volumes now, you are dreaming."
"It must surpass you... Well, the chicken wings tonight are delicious and fragrant."
Qin Guanglin miamia gnawed on the chicken wings, spat the bones aside, and said, "Oh, right, what should I bring when I go to your house for New Year's greetings at the beginning of the new year... the sixth and seventh day of the new year? I brought so many in the past in the summer, if it's shabby this time All right?"
"It's enough to carry a pig's back seat."
"..."
This pig's backseat can't get through.
