After night falls, the noisy Harbin also falls into tranquility. After a busy day, office workers usually take their wives or other people's wives to stroll on the streets to enjoy the comfortable time. The three of us sat in the small
While drinking at the table, Lao Yi was peeling a head of garlic with great interest, while he and I listened to our handsome comrade Shi Jueming talk about his unknown past.
Shi Jueming was obviously a little drunk. It could be seen that although he was quite good at drinking, he was not like people like me and Lao Yi who soaked in wine all day long. When we were chatting before, he would always reveal a certain emotion inadvertently.
The expression of this teacher is really professional and he is a role model for others. With his face, it is not impossible for him to have a girlfriend every day. After all, there is a shortage of everything in the university, including nymphomaniac female students. Even I
In the past, the female students in the shabby school known as the Harbin Jurassic were all nymphomaniacs, not to mention the normal school where beauties gathered together.
But Shi Jueming is indeed clean enough. This is not my gossip. He does not have a girlfriend or female bedmate. Of course, this is what he said himself. This old boy seems to have mysophobia. I have been there several times.
His office, a grown man's office, was kept spotless. There wasn't a hair to be found, and there were all kinds of pens on the table. This guy seemed to have a special liking for white. There was an exquisite figure on the windowsill.
It seems that there is always a blooming lily in the vase. I have known him for such a long time, and he has always been dressed in formal clothes. His white shirt is as good as new, and there is no trace of dirt or sweat.
Smile seems to be his basic expression, and he can smile at any time. I have to say that if I were a girl, I would fall in love with him, because he is different from me and Lao Yi. It seems that there is no trace of it in him.
I saw him holding a draft beer cup, seemed to have sorted out his words clearly, and then told us his story.
Shi Jueming said that his life was not good. On the contrary, it should be said that it was very bad. Although my idiot Uncle Liu once told him that he was the reincarnation of Yao Yinzi from heaven, he really didn't see it.
Come out and find out how good this medicine is for inducing life.
Shi Jueming was a little helpless when talking about the past. It seemed like the first time I saw his expression like this, and what he told us next left me and Lao Yi speechless.
Shi Jueming said that his family has been poor since he was a child. He doesn’t know why. His childhood memories do not bring any happiness to him at all, because he has no father, or he has never met his father at all.
It was his mother who raised him all by herself, and her mother did not have any stable source of income. She could only push a tricycle to the market every day to sell baked sweet potatoes. But when we were young, his mother's income was close to enough.
Maintaining the most basic life. Poverty and hunger are two things that many of us cannot understand. They follow each other like a shadow, eating away at Shi Jueming's childhood, preventing him from seeing any beautiful things.
Shi Jueming took a sip of wine and continued: "When I was a child, my only pleasure was raising some flowers and grasses. Can you two understand? I like raising some things very much, and raising flowers is the only way I can do it without spending money.
, as long as there is enough sunlight and water, they can grow vigorously. Looking at them, I will be very happy, but the ones I raise are just dandelions on the roadside. They cannot live longer.
The first time I see them withering, I feel very sad, so..."
Shi Jueming patted his chest, and then continued: "So, at that time, I wanted to raise a pot of plants that would not die, but I had no money. I remember very clearly that I was only seven years old that year.
So I thought of stealing it. I used to have a neighbor who loved to grow flowers. Every time I passed by his house, I would stop and look at the flowers in his yard. I didn’t want to leave for a long time.
My mother once taught me that if you are poor, you must be ambitious, but we all come from that age group, how could we not understand that we simply couldn’t listen to the teachings of our elders at that time?”
When he said this, Lao Yi asked him curiously: "Then you really stole it, how much did you steal?"
Shitou didn't laugh this time. It seemed that he didn't think Lao Yi's joke was so funny. He put the beer mug on the table and said to the two of us: "If an idea comes to my mind, this idea
It would expand rapidly. I didn't understand at that time that this was the power of sex, so one day, I really couldn't hold it back, so I jumped over the wall of his house when no one was there. At that time
I was so scared that I didn't care about anything. I just picked up a pot of flowers that I could hold and strung them on the wall. However, before I could get off the wall, his children came back. I remember it very clearly.
, the child in his family is three years older than me. He is not as withdrawn as me, but is very popular. Many children nearby play with him. At that time, I was still on the wall, and when they saw me, I accidentally missed him.
The potted flower fell down and broke into pieces."
Shi Jueming said that when the pot of flowers broke, the children also pulled him off the wall. Since he has been introverted since he was a child, he has not been popular at all. Now he was caught stealing and was beaten.
Beatings were unavoidable. Due to malnutrition, the young Shi Shi had no power to fight back. He could only hold his head and let the children insult and beat him.
This matter was not over yet. The head of that family came back. After asking what was going on, he grabbed Shi Jueming by his collar and dragged him to the market like a chicken. In public, he asked Shi Jueming who
How did the mother educate her son? It was not easy for him. As a single mother, she felt ashamed in the eyes of everyone. She could only say sorry and took out a lot of dimes from the small bag where the money was collected.
Once the money is paid to that family, the matter will be settled.
Although we are young and ignorant, it is normal to steal a chicken or a dog, but after hearing this, Lao Yi and I couldn't laugh. We could only look at Shi Jueming longingly. Shi Jueming seemed to be fascinated by what he said.
, maybe it was because of alcohol. He drank heavily of beer again, and then said to the two of us: "That day, after they all left, I didn't dare to talk to my mother. I could only stand beside her and didn't know what to do.
Okay. I seemed to feel that the world could no longer accommodate me, and my mother did not reprimand me. She silently pushed the cart and took me home. After returning home, she took out the few eggs she had in the house and gave them to me.
I made a bowl of egg custard, do you know Lao Cui Lao Yi? I can't forget the taste now."
When Shitou said this, he scratched his hair as if in great pain. He continued: "I don't know how I finished that bowl of egg custard. That was probably the first time I cried since I can remember. I ate while I was eating.
As I cried, the bowl of soup became saltier and saltier as I ate. My mother also cried beside me. She hugged me and told me while crying that she was sorry for me. She didn’t even have the money to buy me a pot of flowers.
"
Shi Jueming paused and sighed. After thinking about it, he picked up the cigarette case from the table, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. This was the first time I saw him smoking, so
I asked him: "Do you know how to smoke?"
Shi Jueming nodded with a smile and said to me: "Yes, but I have quit for a long time."
None of the three of us spoke. We just smoked silently for a long time. Shi Jueming spoke again. He said: "Since then, I have sworn that I will never let my mother cry again. Can you think of what I did when I was a child?"
Do you look like a third-grandson? Thinking about it makes me want to cry. I remember that at that time, residents had subsistence allowances, but they were exploited by the so-called senior officials and leaders. In the end, the street office also bullied us orphans and widowed mothers. There has never been any
I sent it to us. My mother is an honest person. She told me not to care about these things, so I didn’t care about them. Since I was a child, commercials and TV shows have said that knowledge changes destiny, so I studied hard. Other children were
I was studying when we were playing, I was studying when other children were sleeping, and I was still studying when other children were studying! I vowed to let my mother live the best life!"
Shi Jueming did drink too much. You can tell by the excited tone when he spoke. This was a little different from the polite Shi Juming before. Maybe it brought back sad memories for him. I and I
Lao Yi never thought that Shi Jueming had such a tragic past. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Damn it, this is a realistic harmonious society.
Shi Jueming took a long drag on his cigarette, and then said to me and Lao Yi: "Old Cui and Lao Yi, do you two know that when I knew that I would not survive until the age of forty, I cried. It was not that I was afraid of death.
It's because I still have a mother. She raised me up and I have just lived a good life for a few days. What if I die? Every time I go to bed now, I don't know whether I will wake up safely tomorrow. I can't
Imagine, if I die, my mother will go back to the life she had before that, no!! I don’t want it!!”
Drunk Shi Jueming spoke in a loud voice, especially the last few sentences, which made the drinking gentlemen at the table next to him look sideways. I felt comforted by Shi Jueming and advised him not to think nonsense. Now
Nothing is wrong. Shi Jueming listened to my advice and knew that he might have lost his composure, so he stroked his eyes, adjusted his mood and said to me: "Sorry, I seem to have lost my temper when talking about the past."
Things are getting a little exciting, Lao Cui, we can definitely get Qibao together, right?"
I looked at Shi Jueming, and there was a trace of helplessness in his eyes at this moment. This was obviously inconsistent with his usual character. But when I heard what he said, I also felt a trace of bitter smile and helplessness in my heart. We will work together.
Qibao? Can it? It should be possible, it should be.
I have to say that today I finally saw the true side of Shitou. In fact, we are all quite similar. Cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Even if we are expressionless, we can't hide the hot heart in our chest. Only in this way can people be considered real. Those
I am afraid that an expert who has no flaws and does not eat the fireworks of the world can only appear in those hysterical and empty online game novels, and "his expression is cold, his heart is cold", isn't this kind of person a dead person?
?Cold ass.
So a wry smile appeared on the other side of my face, and I said to Shitou: "Okay, let's fight with Yuan Mei tomorrow to see if he has the Hundred People's Resentment, and what exactly is in this old guy's gourd.
What kind of medicine!!”
As soon as these words came out, the three of us felt happy in our hearts. Yes, it is not that we have no clue now. Anyway, we should be able to solve some of the mystery tomorrow. I suddenly remembered that sentence again, hidden in the truth
The truth behind it, and what is the truth?
The three of us raised our draft beer glasses again and bumped into each other very passionately. It’s rare that Shitou drank too much today and made a fool of himself with us, so let’s have a good time!
Lao Yi was almost drunk and insisted on performing a "depth charge" for us, so he asked the waiter for two ounces of white wine and an egg, mixed the white wine into the draft beer, added a raw egg, and drank it in one gulp
, I was stunned when I saw it. Brother Yi’s nickname was indeed Yi Lidan, and he was so vigorous even when he drank.
But he didn't praise him. After drinking, he knocked the beer cup on the table with great authority. Shitou and I both clapped our hands and cheered. Shitou said: "Old Yi, your depth bomb is really powerful. It seems that you have it."
The potential to be a diver.”
But he didn't know that the three words "diver" were taboo for Lao Yi. As soon as he heard these three words, Lao Yi turned pale and burped, then covered his mouth and ran to the bathroom of the barbecue restaurant.
I thought with a wry smile, Lao Yi will always be Lao Yi, there is really nothing I can do about him. After a while, he came back, sat down on the stool, breathing heavily, I asked him with a wry smile.
: "Did you spit it out?"
Lao Yi nodded and said to me: "Every night's meal is clean."
Shitou looked at Lao Yi, maybe he didn't know why Lao Yi was vomiting, so he asked Lao Yi: "Old Yi, why did you vomit just now? Did I say something wrong?"
Lao Yi patted his belly, closed his eyes, sighed and said to Shi Jueming: "Don't mention it, it's all caused by the first kiss."
It was hard enough for him. I didn't want to smile bitterly. There was a delayed expression on my face. I suddenly remembered what Lao Yi said when he asked me to escape in Qitaihe. You must know that even though we are very familiar with each other, this
It’s usually not easy to ask questions, but I happened to see that he was almost drunk now, so I asked tentatively: "I had a lot of fun drinking today. Let’s talk about tomorrow’s things tomorrow. By the way, Shitou just told us
What happened in the past happened, Lao Yi, is it your turn now?"
Lao Yi had just finished vomiting and was still somewhat awake. When he heard what I said, he opened his eyes and smiled at us: "What do I have to say?"
