Then, the two of them opened another can of beer and continued drinking. As for Qu Fu, he had already put down his rice bowl and returned to his room to read.
When Chu Dongpo came in, the two of them were already on their fourth bottle. He put down the milk and fruit in his hands and looked at the empty beer bottles on the ground. He smiled and said, "You two are good. You drank quite a lot."
Qu Fu's father stood up and said, "Aiya, it's good that you're here. Why did you bring anything? He Zhou didn't tell us you were coming. Otherwise, we would have waited for you to eat together."
Chu Dongpo said, "Uncle, sit down. I came here because I ate well. Don't stand on ceremony."
He pulled a chair and sat opposite the fat man.
Qu Fu's father saw that he was not being polite, so he handed him a cigarette. "You almost did."
Chu Dongpo said, "Thank you."
He Zhou finished the last bit of beer in his glass and said, "Uncle, are we done? We won't disturb you anymore. You can do your own things. We'll meet again later. "
Qu Fu's father said, "Okay then. I have to send the girl to school later. She has to study at night. It's not good to ride a tricycle if she drinks too much."
The fat man said, "Sis left a long time ago. She has study at 7: 30."
"Oh, it's already nine o 'clock." Qu Fu's father suddenly remembered to look at the clock on the wall. "When did she leave? I didn't notice. Why didn't you send her off? "
Even He Zhou did not notice when Qu Fu left, much less him.
The fat man said, "She took the bus. I wanted to send her off but she didn't let me."
He Zhou stood up and said, "Uncle, I'll be leaving first."
Qu Fu sent him and Chu Dongpo to the door and watched their car drive away.
Halfway through the journey, He Zhou asked Chu Dongpo to stop near an empty field.
He Zhou got out of the car and ran to the side of the slope to turn on the tap. He lit a cigarette and stood by the side of the road. He looked up at the stars in the sky and was not in a hurry to get into the car.
Chu Dongpo got out of the car and accompanied him to enjoy the breeze. He smiled and said, "Are you okay? Why don't we go take a bath together? The alcohol will go away quickly."
He Zhou said, "Forget it. Who did you meet with tonight? You didn't drink? "
Chu Dongpo said, "There are only a few of us every day. If we have nothing to do in the afternoon, we'll go fishing in the wild pond nearby. There are a lot of Crucian Carp seeds there.
He Zhou laughed and said, "What about your dad? He doesn't care about you and just lets you wander around?"
Chu Dongpo said, "How can a man and a woman be the same? He feels like he can work hard until he's seventy years old. In his eyes, I'm still a child. I'm a child after all. As long as I have money to spend every day and can have fun, that's enough."
He Zhou only smoked half of his cigarette before he threw it away. He smiled and said, "Then enjoy yourself while you can. It's good to have food, drink, and money to spend."
Chu Dongpo said, "When you graduate next year, I'll follow you."
He Zhou said, "Why are you following me? You want to move goods at the freight station like me? I'm actually quite envious of you. "
Chu Dongpo said, "Then I'll naturally follow whatever you do."
He Zhou said, "Alright, good brother. We'll go through thick and thin together. Oh, by the way, I haven't seen Huang Yu in a long time. When are you two getting married?
Don't forget to tell me that I have to come back even if I take a leave from school. "
Chu Dongpo said bitterly, "We'll split it."
He Zhou said in surprise, "Split up? Why would you split up? Both of you have good personalities and there's no conflict between you, unless you have a change of heart. "
Chu Dongpo said, "To be honest, we're just playing along. There's always some messy stuff going on outside, but the one I love the most is still her. Of course, I can't let her know.
So, we broke up because she was too headstrong. She wanted to go to Pu River to make a living. Of course, I didn't agree, so I said a few words in a fit of pique. She took it seriously and stopped answering my calls after she left. I couldn't let her go, so I went to Pu River to look for her. She did see me, but I couldn't save her. "
He Zhou said curiously, "Your family isn't bad. Whether it's getting married or having a child, she doesn't need to worry about it. Your family will arrange everything properly. What's there for her to be unhappy about?"
Chu Dongpo said, "Her family hasn't been well off since she was young. How should I put it? She's lived a very repressed life, or rather, she's too sensitive.
Later, when we started dating, she told me that none of my friends thought highly of her and treated her like a gold digger.
I told her that it's enough that I care about you. Why should I care about what others think?
She didn't say anything more, but from then on, she attended fewer and fewer gatherings with my friends.
This time, when we went to Pu River, she told me the truth again. She said that she used to hope to expand her network and raise the level of her circle of friends to pursue personal development. In the end, after she got together with me, she realized that what she felt wasn't glory. She felt indignant. Why were some people born rich and didn't have to worry about food and drinks, while she had to work hard the moment she was born? She felt that it was unfair.
The more she compared herself to people like us, the more upset she felt.
She said that she had thought it through. If she didn't have the ability, it would all be empty talk. The only thing that could win the respect of others would always be her professional ability and accomplishments.
She even said that even if she really achieved something with me, others would still look down on her. Anyway, she said a lot of things.
When she really became unreasonable, I couldn't do anything about it. "
He Zhou lowered his head and rubbed his feet twice on the ground. Yeah, why could he be born into a rich family but not have a father? It was a completely abnormal family. On the other hand, some people were born into poor families, but they held their father's hand in their left hand and their mother's hand in their right. The whole family was happy and harmonious.
She didn't reveal her thoughts and only smiled. "She's after your money. You said that she's materialistic and not after your money. You said that she's unreasonable. I think it's not easy being a woman."
Chu Dongpo said, "Let her be. She can do whatever she wants. Maybe when she hits a brick wall, she'll come back. However, I actually know that she's just comforting herself. If I really can't do it, I'll go to Pu River and stay there. It doesn't matter where I go. "
He Zhou said, "Pu River? Sure. I'm planning to go there after I graduate. "
After chatting with Chu Dongpo for a while, he got into the car.
When he got home, he wanted to ask Chu Dongpo to stay, but Chu Dongpo rejected him. He said, "You can drive the car."
Chu Dongpo said, "Forget it. I still have to send it to you tomorrow. I'll take a taxi. It's a simple matter."
After He Zhou sent him off, he locked the courtyard door and took a shower. He didn't feel sleepy, so he made a pot of tea, sat on the sofa, and turned on the television.
"Haitong Heavy Industries only cares about development, but it doesn't put the rights of the workers above everything else.
