On the way Guo Jingjing went home by bus, Zhou Haibo called and said that he was invited to dinner. Guo Jingjing was not in the mood, so he refused, but Zhou Haibo's enthusiasm couldn't be restrained, and Guo Jingjing couldn't refute it with a few words.

The last sentence: "It's a brother's, you just come here."

Guo Jingjing stared at the phone for a while, and finally got off the car in the town, and went to the hot pot restaurant that Zhou Haibo mentioned.Zhou Haibo arrived early, sitting on his seat smoking a cigarette, watching Guo Jingjing enter the door murmuringly, he knew that this kid would definitely come, Guo Jingjing is soft-hearted, don't be tough with him, basically Nothing is impossible.

"Ah Jing, come here, here."

Zhou Haibo waved to Guo Jingjing, Guo Jingjing saw him, walked towards him, and sat down opposite Zhou Haibo.Zhou Haibo waved: "Waiter, order!"

Turning around, he said to Guo Jingjing: "Order whatever you want today, and eat with your belly open. My brother recently made a fortune on a trip out of town. I didn't finish the calculation until today. I came to see you when I finished my work and didn't come back home. I didn't expect You rejected me in one gulp, you really broke my heart!" Hearing this, Guo Jingjing explained, "I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood today."

Zhou Haibo Mung Dou glanced at him, coughed dryly and said, "I know, did you brag about the matter with Zhao Amei? Don't be sad, with your conditions, are you still worried about not being able to find a wife? How do you say that... Where in the world is there no fragrant grass!"

Guo Jingjing was a little puzzled: "Didn't you just come back today?" How could you know this.

Zhou Haibo snorted disdainfully and said: "As for Aunt Zhao Amei's big mouth, the whole village knows that you were dumped by Zhao Amei, and she is still adding fuel and jealousy outside, saying that you are so bad, if it is not for seeing her The woman is so old, I will definitely not spare her."

Guo Jingjing lowered his head, looked at the water glass and said nothing, Zhou Haibo thought he was sad, and looked at him several times, hesitant to speak, just at this moment the waiter came over, the two ordered the food first, after that There will be more people at five o'clock.

Fortunately, they came early, after ordering, the bottom of the pot was brought up, and the dishes were also brought out one after another. The bottom of the pot was mandarin duck pot bottom, Guo Jingjing didn't eat spicy food, Zhou Haibo stuck out his tongue and ordered the abnormally spicy one.

"Come on, you have to drink beer with hot pot, we won't go home if we don't get drunk today."

Zhou Haibo picked up the chopsticks, pried off the lid of the beer and put the wine in front of Guo Jingjing, Guo Jingjing stretched out his hand to refuse.

"I don't drink, drink it yourself."

Zhou Haibo blinked: "Don't, how boring it is for me to drink alone."

Guo Jingjing insisted: "I really don't want to drink it, you can drink it yourself."

Zhou Haibo was quite helpless, seeing Guo Jingjing frowning, he really didn't want to drink, so he nodded and took the wine back.

"Okay, since you don't want to drink, forget it." Zhou Haibo didn't expect Zhao Amei to bring such a big blow to Guo Jingjing, so he took a few sips from his cup and said earnestly: "Ah Jing, you used to be with Zhao Amei, It’s not easy for me to tell you some things, now that you’ve broken up, I’ll just say a few more words, if you want to listen to it, listen to it, if you don’t want to listen to it, just treat me as a fart.”

Seeing Zhou Haibo's serious expression, Guo Jingjing stopped his chopsticks and looked up at him: "Say it."

Zhou Haibo scratched his head, and said melancholy: "Actually, Zhao Amei is not as good as you think. When she was in junior high school, she was friends with the male students in the class, and she even went to the other's house to spend the night. We don't care about this. The teacher in charge knows that it was criticized in class, but it was not called at the time, but everyone knows that if you didn’t pay attention at the time, you might not know.”

Guo Jingjing was stunned, and looked up at Zhou Haibo. Seeing him like this, Zhou Haibo knew that he really didn't know, and continued: "Later, I heard from my classmates that Zhao Amei had a boyfriend in college and was pregnant. Later we broke up, Zhao Amei had an abortion, you two were together, I can't say that, after all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in today's society, but Ah Jing, you are different, you are too honest, I said To be honest, Zhao Amei is really not suitable for you. You should find someone who is sincere and good to you. It’s okay to be tough. With your personality, it may not be bad to find someone who is strong, but the premise is that she must be sincere to you and can’t lie. You, Ah Jing, you are too soft-hearted, without someone like this by your side, I'm afraid you will suffer in the future."

Judging from Zhou Haibo's repeated hesitation before, it is estimated that he and Zhao Amei are going to make it, and Zhou Haibo will keep this secret for the rest of his life. When we met again, the lost years seemed nothing at all. Guo Jingjing and Zhou Haibo sat together for a meal, and that was the time when he felt the least stressful and most relaxed.

After eating, Zhou Haibo drank a few more glasses and began to talk about his troubles.

"Ah Jing, I've been in a lot of pain recently. My mother probably wanted me to raise my third child because she saw that I had made some money... Wrong, it's my third child. You know, there's only one younger sister under me... …By the way, Ah Jing, you haven’t dated yet, right? How about I introduce my sister to you? She looks exactly like me, and she’s very lucky.”

Guo Jingjing brought the topic back without any trace: "Then are you going to raise it?"

"I don't know, but my wife is unwilling." Zhou Haibo sighed, "Actually, I know what my mother is thinking. Doesn't she just want to have a grandson? To be honest, I used to want to, but when I Standing outside the delivery room, when the doctor took my newborn daughter into my arms, I burst into tears. At that time, I just had a thought, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, they are all my babies, and I have to work hard to make money. I have to support my family, I have to buy beautiful clothes for my daughter and dress up like a little princess every day."

As soon as Zhou Haibo mentioned his daughter, the smile on the corner of his mouth almost fell to his ears, with a sweet look on his face, as he talked, the topic changed from the issue of having three children to the topic of dazzling girls.

"My elder sister's academic performance is very good. She is the first in the back-to-back exam. She is more successful than me. She wins awards every year, and the wall is almost covered. My second daughter said she was four years old, and she was only two weeks old. Her birthday is late, and she can speak a full sentence recently. The small voice is very cute. Every time I call her mother, she has to come up and call her dad. When I hear her voice, my heart melts. " Guo Jingjing took a sip of water from the water glass, looked at the dishes in the pot, they were already cooked, but he suddenly felt no appetite.Zhou Haibo was immersed in the joy of being a father, and didn't notice anything wrong with Guo Jingjing, so he continued: "Actually, when my wife was pregnant with Erya, my dad asked an acquaintance to see it at the doctor, and he knew it was a baby at that time. Girl, my mother meant that she wanted to get rid of the child, but my wife disagreed. When we were planning to have a second child, she said that she wanted it no matter whether it was a boy or a girl. She is an only child and can have children. The second child, she said that when she was young, she wanted to have brothers and sisters, not because of anything else, but because she felt too lonely, she said you don’t care about boys and girls, since you decide to raise them, you have to be responsible for her! Seriously , I have always been very grateful to my wife. If she hadn't insisted, I would have compromised at the time. Really, every time I think about it now, I feel sorry for Erya. she."

Zhou Haibo's eyes were red as he spoke. Fortunately, he didn't really cry. There were many people sitting around at this time. If he really cried, it would be quite embarrassing.

After finishing the hot pot, Zhou Haibo stood at the door of the hot pot restaurant and sighed, and told Guo Jingjing with a sense of relief on his face that he would not have a third child. Come on, he didn't want to make the two babies feel wronged because of the arrival of the new child.

Guo Jingjing felt that Zhou Haibo had changed a lot. They were obviously about the same age, but in many respects, Zhou Haibo was more mature than him, and much more stable than him. This cannot be learned by reading more books, it needs more wind and rain to wash away , to have this insight.

After returning from the town, Guo Jingjing's face was a little pale, and his left hand was always in front of his lower abdomen intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Qing also left chicken soup for him. Now that the weather is cold, the soup is easy to cool down. Zhang Qing went to the electric appliance store to buy a rice cover, plugged it in, and put the soup and porridge in it to cover it so that it would not be cold.

Guo Jingjing looked at the chicken soup in front of him, but found it hard to swallow.

"Today I learned how to cook crucian carp soup from your grandma. It turns out that milk can also be used for cooking, but your grandma said that mandarin fish cooked with milk is more delicious. Ah Jing, don't you like fish? Dad will go tomorrow See if you can buy mandarin fish in the vegetable market, you will get tired of drinking chicken soup all the time..."

Zhang Qing sat aside and chattered, seeing his son didn't respond for a long time, he looked down and saw that he didn't take a sip of the bowl of chicken soup, Guo Jingjing's expression was also very bad.

"Ah Jing, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Qing looked worried, "Is your stomach uncomfortable? Then... what should I do then? Do you want to call He Fanxing?"

Guo Jingjing looked up at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Dad, I'm going to Jining tomorrow. He Fanxing said that he has already made arrangements there. After confirming, he will be removed..."

Guo Jingjing didn't say who "he" was, but Zhang Qing understood, his face turned pale, he was stunned for a long time, and then he replied blankly: "Oh...that's it, then, then father will go with you tomorrow."

Zhang Qing didn't know, his expression at the moment was uglier than crying, he thought he was holding back, but Guo Jingjing had lived with him for so many years, how could he not see it, reached out to shake Zhang Qing's hand, only to find that Zhang Qing There were several small wounds on Qing's hands, and it was not clear what the injury was.

Seeing his son staring at his hand, Zhang Qing quickly shrank back. Afraid his son would ask him what happened, he quickly got up and said, "Then...then I'll clean it up, and I'll go with you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he hurried back to the house. Guo Jingjing watched him enter the door, turned his head to look at the bowl of chicken soup, picked it up and took a sip. It was tasteless and still did not add salt.

The chicken soup that Guo Jingjing drank these days was not salted. Once when he ate chicken, he ate the uncleaned trachea in the neck of the chicken. It is impossible for his grandmother to make this kind of mistake, so the chicken soup is He knows who cooked it better than anyone else, and Guo Jingjing is even more sure when he sees the injury on Zhang Qing's hand today.

I remember when he first learned how to kill a chicken by himself, because he was not proficient, when he cut the chicken belly, his finger was cut several times by the chicken bone, and the wound was exactly the same as that on Zhang Qing's hand.
