Evening.
Li Mu knocked on Teacher Zhou’s door.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Yu noticed that Li Mu was wearing a down jacket and asked doubtfully, "Are you going out?"
"Yeah"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Something seems to have happened to a friend. I need to deal with it, but here..."
Li Mu just answered a phone call.
The call was from Yu Hui's husband, Xiao Zhengyang. Originally, Li Mu didn't plan to go out. After all, it was already 7:30 in the evening, but Xiao Zhengyang's mood when he spoke was very wrong.
"Go and get busy!"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "But don't worry here, I'm watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf with Si Ning!"
"Thank you so much"
Li Mu said gratefully.
"No need"
Zhou Yu smiled and waved his hand.
"Then I'll leave first"
After speaking, Li Mu walked down the stairs. When he reached the partition between the third and second floors, he suddenly heard Teacher Zhou calling him. Li Mu turned around and looked back in confusion.
"Li Mu"
Zhou Yu stood at the door of Room 302, with a slight smile on his face, polite yet gentle, and said "Thank you for the book"
"You're welcome"
Li Mu also laughed and said, "When you finish reading, you can come to my house to pick it up."
I don’t know why, but Li Mu feels particularly good at this moment.
There is an illusion of happiness in the present.
At this moment, the sky outside has darkened, and the lights on both sides of the road emit orange light, rendering the surrounding area an oval shape.
Li Mu followed the street lights and came to a barbecue restaurant at the entrance of the community.
The temperature has not warmed up yet, so the business of the barbecue restaurant is naturally not as booming as in spring and summer. There are only twos and threes of people sitting together in the store.
Li Mu saw a familiar figure.
He did not sit in the shop, but sat outside at a small round table on this cold night.
There are two plates of steaming barbecue in front of you.
And a few bottles of beer.
On such a cold day, sitting outside and drinking beer is completely ruining your body.
"Did we quarrel again?"
Li Mu pulled the zipper of his down jacket to the top, folded his hands around his chest to ensure that he was not cold, and then sat across from Xiao Zhengyang and asked questions.
Although Li Mu has not had contact with Qin Muxue's two best friends for so many years.
Relationships also stop at the level of acquaintance and unfamiliarity.
But after all, he was Qin Muxue's former husband. When the two got married, Qin Muxue's two best friends were also present. However, Qin Muxue ran away later, completely reducing their relationship that could have become very familiar to passers-by. However, Li Mu
On the contrary, I am relatively familiar with Yu Hui and her husband at the end of Tang Dynasty, and the three of them will get together if they have nothing to do.
Li Mu has never understood this.
It stands to reason that it is normal for Xiao Zhengyang to be familiar with her husband in the late Tang Dynasty, because they graduated from the same university, and they also sang "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Upper Bunk" written and composed by Gao Xiaosong like Lao Lang.
Two people share a dormitory.
Brothers who slept in the same bed and slept in bunk beds for four whole years.
However, the two of them magically became friends with Li Mu, which is a bit unreasonable.
"Mu!"
Xiao Zhengyang took a disposable plastic cup, poured a glass of beer for Li Mu, and said, "I know you don't like drinking, but today brother feels aggrieved, so why don't you just have a few drinks with me?"
"Didn't you ask Lexus to come over?"
Li Mu asked curiously.
"Called"
Xiao Zhengyang smiled bitterly and said, "I am accompanying a client!"
"Oh"
Li Mu nodded.
Ling Zhi was her husband in the late Tang Dynasty, and his name was the same as the Lexus Li Mu bought before the brand name was changed.
It means high ambition.
Now he works in sales for a company, mainly selling sports equipment to gyms. His job is very tiring and he often needs to accompany customers to drink. Sometimes he drinks at noon and then at night. If he encounters those difficult customers, he even drinks until midnight.
Or early in the morning.
I suffered from stomach problems at a young age.
But the world of adults is like this. Even though you know your body can no longer be damaged like this, in order to support your family, you have to work even if you don’t work, and you have to drink even if you don’t have to.
Xiao Zhengyang picked up the wine glass and drank the beer in one gulp.
While pouring wine for himself, he said bitterly, "Mu! What on earth is wrong with women now? Do you have to force us men to death before you give up!?"
"What's wrong?"
Li Mu asked doubtfully.
"I was lying at home to rest today, and she started scolding me when she came back. She kept scolding me for three or four hours, scolding me for not knowing how to tidy up the house while I was resting."
Xiao Zhengyang stretched out his hand to lift the hair on his forehead and said, "Did you see it?"
"How did you do this?"
Li Mu dislikes what Xiao Zhengyang calls him.
It felt very boring, and instead of calling him by his proper name, he decided to call him "Mu!" However, when his eyes fell on Xiao Zhengyang's head, he suddenly lost the idea of arguing with him.
Xiao Zhengyang's hairline has moved two centimeters back from his forehead.
If he hadn't concealed this by deliberately growing his hair long, it would have looked like he was at least forty-five years old just from his hair.
It is lush on both sides and barren of grass in the middle, a typical Mediterranean style.
"Boiled"
Xiao Zhengyang smiled miserably and said, "I have gone through this hell just to earn a small salary. I finally took a day off, but my family didn't even let me."
Yue said.
Xiao Zhengyang's mood swings became more intense, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "She has been scolding me since I went on holiday on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year last year until today, Mu, I'm really tired, I feel like I'm going to die suddenly, yes, I don't have the ability, why?"
I earn this little money and move my tired hairline back, but what can I do? I am only so capable."
Li Mu listened quietly.
"Mu!"
After drinking another drink, Xiao Zhengyang calmed down a little. He pointed at the ground and murmured, "The world is not worth it."
"It's not as serious as you said"
Li Mu consoled him.
Many times, it is never life that breaks a man's will, but women.
What causes a man to suddenly collapse is not the pressure from the outside world, but the incomprehension of his wife. They use sharp words and a method like forcing a debt to push a living man to the edge of the cliff step by step.
Are men at fault?
Of course.
They were blind to choose such a wife.
Is it wrong for women?
Definitely not.
Because they are women!?
Just like what Zhang Yi said to Tong Liya on the TV:
"You can have nothing, you can not even have dreams. Because you are a woman, you can live very easily. As long as you marry a man, you will have everything, but men can't. I am a man, and men must succeed.
, if he doesn’t succeed, he will have no money, no house, no car, he will only be looked down upon by others, and in the end he will be ruthlessly abandoned by you women.”
Xiao Zhengyang smiled and did not refute.
On this cold and windy night, I raised my head.
The wind lifted the hair on his forehead, revealing his terrible hairline. He reached out and patted the table gently, and recited a poem.
"The most fearful thing is to ask about your original intention, and your dreams will come to nothing. You will have ambitions of three thousand miles when you are young. You will hesitate for hundreds of steps without making any progress. You will be ignorant for half your life and live in the mediocre world..."
Writing Xin Qiji's "Lang Tao Sha Ling", Xiao Zhengyang felt inexplicably the vicissitudes of a wasted half a life.
A woman forced her husband in his early thirties to do this.
It’s quite versatile.
