He had just fallen asleep when he heard banging on the door of his courtyard. Someone was shouting his name. He got up and opened the door angrily. He shouted towards the courtyard, "Jiawei, what are you doing? It's the middle of the night! "
"I'm going to stay at your place for the night. I'm freezing." Liu Jiawei had just opened the door a little when he slipped into the courtyard and ran into the house.
He Zhou looked around the alley. Seeing that there was no one else around, he locked the door again.
Only then did he realize that he had come out shirtless. He shivered from the cold and hurried back into the house.
"Is there a hole in your brain? Why are you here instead of going to your own place?"
He hurriedly lay back down under the blanket.
Liu Jiawei said, "I didn't bring my key. Do you think I'd want to come here?"
He Zhou said unhappily, "You and Li Peijia are on the left and right side of each other. You can't go to their house to sleep. Just find a locksmith in the morning."
Liu Jiawei gulped down half a cup of tea on the table and said, "Li Pei went to Yang Huai's place. I wanted to squeeze in with Liu Shan, but his father is there. I don't dare to go. I don't want people to say that I'm a bad influence on Liu Shan."
Liu Four was known to be kind, kind, and easy to talk to. However, he was different from different people. He had never been nice to him.
He Zhou said, "There's a place that provides a safe and comfortable place to rest. Don't you want to go and find out?"
"Holy sh * t. If I had the money to stay in a hotel, would I come to your place?" Liu Jiawei shook out his pocket. There was only a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
"Look at how poor you are. You still have the cheek to talk to me." He Zhou pointed at the door. "Go sleep in the room next door. Take a shower before going to bed. Don't stink my blanket. That's it. Go out and close the door."
"Do you think I want to talk to you?" Liu Jiawei lit a cigarette and turned to leave.
"Wait. Give me one." He Zhou stopped him. He was suddenly no longer sleepy.
"Here." Liu Jiawei passed the cigarette in his mouth to He Zhou.
"How are things going with your girlfriend? It's the New Year, aren't you going to visit your father-in-law? "He Zhou didn't mind. He took it and stuffed it into his mouth.
Liu Jiawei kicked the trash can to the head of the bed and lit a cigarette for himself. He took a long puff and said, "I don't think my old man will agree. I'm thinking about how to tell him."
He Zhou flicked the cigarette ash into the dustbin and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that your girlfriend couldn't be found anywhere in the world? Why don't you have any confidence in front of your old man? "
In front of these people, Liu Jiawei mentioned his girlfriend the most. She was an unbelievably beautiful straight-A student who was considerate and well-educated. She was envied by everyone.
Pouring a cup of tea for He Zhou, Liu Jiawei sighed, "Are you really muddle-headed or just faking it? Is marriage something that can be casually decided in a family like ours?"
He Zhou said calmly, "So, I don't fall in love."
In idol dramas, they often like to create a plot like "the prince falls in love with Cinderella, the princess falls in love with a poor boy", and the ending of the story is always "they live happily ever after".
But in reality?
He knew in his heart that no matter how much his mother spoiled and spoiled him, she would never let him have his own choice in marriage.
Liu Jiawei suddenly burst into tears. He Zhou was so shocked that he quickly got up to wipe his tears away.
"Brother, can't you be more ambitious? My little heart can't take it."
"Although her family is from the city, the five of them are still renting a house. Her two older brothers are still single in their thirties, and they're still not promising. As for her parents, they're still sickly. Although my old man isn't a snob, he definitely won't agree to this kind of family. My mother always says that if you find a weaker family, your life will be full of problems. If the couple doesn't get along well, it'll be even more troublesome in the future."
"You're much better than me. Even if your old man doesn't spoil you, you still have your mother. If your mother doesn't spoil you, you still have your older brothers and grandparents. What do I have?" Although He Zhou was distressed for him, he didn't know how to comfort him.
At the same time, he understood his father's thoughts.
If the other party's family was average, it meant that they had to bear the risk of losing half of their assets. It wasn't easy for his parents to earn money. No one was willing to share half of the other party's assets. Especially when they were getting a divorce.
"But I've already decided on her. I'm going to die with her." Liu Jiawei lit another cigarette. "You're different from me. No matter how angry your mother is, she can't abandon you. My family is different. My old man doesn't have to pin all his hopes on me."
He had an older brother.
His older brother graduated from a prestigious university and studied abroad. He was steady and mature. He couldn't compare to his older brother.
He Zhou asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Some people chose to let go and compromise with their career. Some dared to pursue their love, causing their family to change …
"Who knows?" Liu Jiawei suddenly stood up. "Where's the wine?"
"On the shelf in the living room."
Liu Jiawei took a bottle of white wine and two glasses. "Drink some more with me."
"Yes." He Zhou didn't hesitate. He unscrewed the bottle cap and poured a glass for each of them. "Look in the fridge. There should be a bag of peanuts in there. Go open one."
Liu Jiawei shook the peanuts onto the plate. They fell all over the floor. He wanted to pick them up and eat them, but He Zhou stopped him.
"It's not clean. You won't get sick if you eat it." Liu Jiawei still stuffed a few peanuts into his mouth.
He Zhou shook his head helplessly. "You're luckier than me. Really, don't complain. There's a book I'll show you. It's called 'A Life Without Complaining'. We should be content. If we complain, we won't achieve anything in our lives."
"Don't drop the book." Liu Jiawei waved his hand. "Everyone knows the principle, but how many people can do it? Come on, let's make one. "
The two drank and chatted. They accidentally drank half the bottle of white wine, but only a few peanuts were touched.
He Zhou said, "In the future, try to rely on yourself. If you don't have the ability, you can't keep your family business. Brother, I can remember things very early. I know how hard my mother worked. When I was three or five years old, I saw with my own eyes that she carried oil buckets that weighed more than a hundred catties by herself. She followed the workers and did as much work as they did. She said that this was setting an example. "
"My father didn't have it easy either. In the early years, he worked with Li Pei's father in the waste station. It was dirty, tiring, and hard. After that day, he couldn't stop sweating. He would snore after sitting on the ground for ten minutes."
After finishing a bottle of white wine, the two were ready to sleep. However, their phones rang almost at the same time.
"My second grandpa is gone." He Zhou was still in a daze after answering his mother's call.
Liu Jiawei said helplessly, "Let's go."
It was his brother who informed him.
