Listening to the conversation between Brother Xu and Li Meng, I was stunned for a moment, reflected for a long time, frowned and asked: "That Lao Zhang??"
"I'm just making lamb chops for you?!" Brother Xu paused, looked at me and replied.
"He??Chemotherapy??!" I paused for a long time again and asked in shock.
"Well, four months ago, my wife was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Two months ago, Lao Zhang took care of my daughter-in-law. She often coughed, and then she coughed up blood! She was diagnosed with lung cancer!!" Li Meng sighed, chirped, and said slowly.
"He has cancer???" My tone became a little more serious.
"What's wrong with him? Isn't he also an ordinary person!!" Brother Xu wiped his hands with a tissue, picked up the cup again, and said to me: "Take a sip!"
I picked up the wine glass numbly, bumped it with the two of them, and then drank.
"Fei, man, don't talk about life and death lightly. You think you are young and still have a long life ahead of you. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you really don't have much time. You may be here in the blink of an eye.
At the end of the day, I really can’t understand. You are looking at me. When you met me, I was in my twenties and in great shape. I could fill half a box of beer by myself just for fun. Now you are looking at me, my belly.
Yes, the wrinkles are getting more and more day by day. Your sister-in-law arranged a hospital VIP for me and Li Meng. Haha, she saved a regular physical examination card worth 50,000 yuan, and let us go every day. Every time, I felt disgusted.
, Mengzi scolded her directly, but we didn’t go that time?? If I said, I was just to deal with your sister-in-law, but Mengzi was necessary?? I tell you, he is just scared!! He is afraid of living like this every day, really give it to him
The whole terminal illness!!" Brother Xu said with a slightly rosy face, as if chatting.
"Go away, I'm not fucking afraid, I can live to be a hundred years old!" Li Meng was a little unhappy.
"Well, the people in your family have a long lifespan. They are considered adults when they are a thousand years old! Haha!" Brother Xu said with a grin.
"I don't care about you!" Li Meng rolled his eyes wildly.
Listening to Brother Xu's words, I asked: "Did you buy this bath for Lao Zhang?"
"No, I gave him money, but he didn't want it, so I lent him 150,000 yuan to rent this bathhouse. Hey, he was at our house when you were there. You forgot, he was the one who delivered wine on a tricycle!
!" Brother Xu said to me.
"...The one who delivers the wine??" I recalled a figure and was suddenly stunned.
"Yes, it's him!"
"How did it get like this?? Now it looks like it's sixty!"
"It was made during this period. It was quite clean before!!" Li Meng checked.
"Fei, do you think it's difficult for him? If I don't help him even if I give him ten thousand yuan, he and his wife won't be able to take care of each other before they die!! But do you think he looks like someone with cancer?" Brother Xu
He put a cigarette in my mouth, lit it for me, and continued to ask.
"...Brother, my situation is different from his. He is facing life and death. We are the same, so we can be calm! And I...!" I took a puff of cigarette, looked down at the table and said
One sentence.
"Want to talk about regrets? Talk about guilt??" Brother Xu looked at me, his eyes shining with an inexplicable light, and asked very flatly.
"Whoosh!"
I looked up at him.
"Fei, do you know? Brother, when I was younger than you, I should have become a father... If... the child was born then, he would be more than ten years old now...!" Brother Xu was silent
After a long time, he sighed, picked up the cup again, and said slowly: "Fuck, I haven't mentioned it in years. Come on, my third brother, let's make a cup!"
I looked at Brother Xu in a daze, then at Li Meng who was pouring the wine, and asked, "Why wasn't he born?"
Li Meng's palm trembled. Brother Xu listened to my question, paused, raised his glass suddenly, drank it in one gulp, then suddenly stood up, turned around, staggered a little, and patted my shoulder,
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to the toilet!"
I looked at him and seemed to have guessed something...
"Do you think it's easy to be a brother? In order to heal your wounds, I opened my scars. Come on, don't think about it, drink, you will die!" Li Meng took a long breath and handed me the wine glass.
.
I finished my drink and didn't ask any more questions. Brother Xu went out for twenty minutes before he came back. It was no different from when he left. The only difference was that his eyes were a little red. When he came back, he asked with a smile: "Fuck, shit, what are you doing?"
The two of them are doing well together!"
"Come on, how does this fish and chicken taste?" Lao Zhang came over with two large iron pots and placed them on the table.
I picked up my chopsticks and sang, nodded hard and said, "Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, we have it all!!"
"Human, this is what life feels like!" Brother Xu nodded.
"You two are so bitter!! Fuck!" Li Meng cursed rudely, picked up a piece of chicken, and while gnawing, he called to Lao Zhang: "Okay, stop working so hard, sit down and take a bite!
"
"Forget it, let's have some food!" I looked at Lao Zhang, who looked nothing like him, and said something.
"Haha, I won't be cured if I don't drink. Why are you so afraid? Come on, give me something white!" Lao Zhang waved his hand nonchalantly and sat down to eat with us.
At this time, there was something strange on the table. I was in my twenties, Brother Xu was in his thirties, Li Meng was in his forties, and Lao Zhang was in his fifties. Four generations, four different lives, could actually sit at the same table and drink.
, which is also quite interesting.
Everyone is out of control, the beer is white, Ke Jin greets me, I have the title of drunkard, Mr. Xu can't get drunk after a thousand cups, I haven't seen him more often, Li Meng usually drinks alcohol, although Lao Zhang doesn't know the amount,
But it was all white when it came up, and it was obviously a wine barrel.
The four of us, with this meal today, can at least save a small winery.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, the sun had completely risen. I was lazily basking in the sun and looking at the sky with my eyes closed. Brother Xu had a drink, kept wiping the sweat flowing down his face with a towel, and asked me:
"You came to me just to make a decision??"
"Yeah!!" I was silent for a long time and nodded resolutely.
"Are you willing to give it up??" Li Meng looked at me and asked with straight eyes.
"I'm extremely tired of it, and I can't even talk about whether I want to leave it or not!" I said slowly.
"What's going on with the people below? Are there any arrangements?" Brother Xu asked again.
"I haven't thought about arrangements. I have my own way. I have already decided. Why should I care about other people's chores?" I said again.
"Yeah, that's fine!" Brother Xu nodded in agreement.
"Brother, until today, have you ever had the feeling of seeing the future at a glance??" I didn't know what I was thinking, so I suddenly turned to look at Brother Xu and asked.
He was startled for a moment, paused for a long time, glanced at Li Meng, and said with a smile: "Did you see it? We can see it, Brother Fei can also see it now!"
