Among the things that Gao Liyuan is least willing to do in the past few years, going home is the first one, and attending the wedding banquet is the second.At the banquet, a group of familiar or unfamiliar faces exchanged glasses, and when the atmosphere heated up, they inevitably began to chat with each other about their own family affairs. When it was Gao Liyuan's turn, the topic would always be the same: Xiao Gao is not young anymore, it's time to start a family .

"Xiao Gao is now a teacher in No. [-] Middle School, right? The teacher is fine, and I have a solid job...do you have a partner now? No? My relative has a daughter..."

"Don't be too high-sighted, live a life, it's almost enough."

"That's right," said the woman Gao Liyuan had never seen before in a loud voice, "Hurry up and find a partner, and give birth to a fat boy next year so that your parents can feel at ease!"

After a meal, Gao Liyuan only felt numb in his ears and his face was stiff. He turned his head to see the groom who was still courteous. After toasting all the wine, his complexion was worse than his own, but his expression was joyful—— That's right, how can you be unhappy about such a great thing as getting married?

Gao Liyuan suffered from insomnia for most of the night, but luckily he didn't have to get up early the next day. He woke up at nine o'clock and went to teach physical education with a whistle as if nothing had happened.This week was the standing long jump test. He was standing next to the tape measure and holding a notebook to record the results of the students one by one. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the guard Lao Qian running over, waving his hands, and stopped beside him: "Xiao Gao, someone is looking for you."

"Come to me? - Next one!" Gao Liyuan gestured for the next student to take off, with a slightly surprised tone, "Did I tell you what it's called?"

"I only said that the surname is Li. A young man about your age is waiting in the guard's room."

"Next!"

Gao Liyuan realized who the visitor was almost immediately, and didn't know what mood he was in for a while.He quickly jotted down a distance and then turned to look at Lao Qian: "I see, thank you for coming to me. Lao Qian, please give me a message...you saw it too," he pointed at the old man under the hot sun. The students who lined up said, "I can't leave here until class is over. You can ask him if he can wait for me until after school."

"to make."

Old Qian left with a sound, and Gao Liyuan just stood there with his notebook in his hand. After the students finished their standing long jump test, he watched them play basketball. After the get out of class bell rang, he threw the last basketball into the basket. Well, count the number before going to the school gate.

At this time, 10 to [-] minutes had passed since school ended in the afternoon. Gao Liyuan took off the whistle around his neck and put it in his pocket. When he looked up, he noticed the silhouette sitting in the guard room who was clearly taller than the two guards. .Old Qian who was standing at the door saw him, turned his head and said something inside, so the man who was about the same age as Gao Liyuan stepped out to meet him, smiling all over his face: "Liyuan!"

"Chuanqiu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Gao Liyuan also smiled, and the two of them punched each other's shoulders as a greeting, and walked outside the school together: "Why are you here suddenly?"

"Last time in the provincial track and field competition, Yuliu Street Primary School in your city won the championship. I think that kid is a good seed, so I came to ask him if he wants to join the provincial team."

"That's it. What do the parents of the students say?"

"I'm a little tempted, but I still have to think about it. After all, people still want their children to study hard and go to university in the traditional concept." Li Chuanqiu said, suddenly stopped, and asked him a little bluntly, "Do you work now?" How about it?"

"It's okay, I'm not tired anyway."

"It's fine if you're not tired, it's fine if you're not tired. By the way, let's just find a restaurant and have a snack. I have something to do tomorrow, and I plan to catch the last bus back today."

Gao Liyuan nodded, indicating that he knew.The topic was interrupted, and the two of them couldn't find anything else to say, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.Fortunately, Li Chuanqiu was in a hurry, so the two of them randomly found a stir-fry restaurant that didn't seem too crowded and planned to enter. As a result, a waiter came out from the yellowed plastic curtain holding a box of empty beer bottles and followed Gao Liyuan. When they met each other, both of them were stunned.

"You..." Gao Liyuan wanted to say something at first, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he didn't know the name of the other party, so he had to accept the words, turned around and asked Li Chuanqiu, "Is this the only one?"

Li Chuanqiu didn't say much: "Just this one."

"Table four, the menu is on the wall."

The squirrel finished speaking with a straight face, but as expected, he was hit on the head by the boss: "How did I tell you?! First say, 'Please, please'!"

"Understood." Squirrel pursed his lips, put down the box in his hand, turned his head and went back to the restaurant, just in time Li Chuanqiu waved to the door, gesturing to order.Squirrel wanted to pretend that he was very busy, but someone was already clearing up table one, and another waiter brought out the freshly cooked dishes in the kitchen at the back. , "What to eat?"

Squirrel also didn't understand that although the city was not big, it was not small. He hadn't met anyone he knew in the past week when he found a new way of life. He didn't know if he met Gao Liyuan this time. It's a blessing in misfortune.

After ordering food for them, the squirrel sneaked out of the back door from the kitchen and cleaned up the bottles and cans. The restaurant owner specially spent a lot of money to buy an air conditioner in order to attract business, and put a big sign at the door with " Air-conditioning supply" light box, but the squirrel is not used to the air-conditioned room, everywhere is tightly closed, leaving only a ball of air that is constantly being cooled, mixed with all kinds of oily smoke, sweat, beer, and so on. pain.

But in less than 10 minutes, he was dragged back into the shop by the boss with a loud voice, and served beer to the guests at table one.The squirrel was lazy and picked up a bottle that had just been put in for less than 2 minutes. It turned out that the beer was shaken too hard on the way, and the beer bubbled out the moment the lid was opened, dripping all over the table.

"What are you doing?!"

The table had already drunk a few bottles, and stood up as soon as the table was slapped: "How did you do it!"

"……sorry."

Squirrel had already picked up the wine bottle, and he was so busy cleaning the table that he didn't even care about the beer dripping onto his trouser legs.However, the two guests refused to let him go, and sat on the side cursing: "Really, the fun of the night was disturbed by a piece of trash..."

"Who do you call trash!"

He threw away the stinky rag, and exploded in the dull air: "Who is trash? Ah?!"

Gao Liyuan, of course, had noticed all the disputes not far away in the morning, and he almost stood up the moment the squirrel started yelling, but was grabbed by Li Chuanqiu.Li Chuanqiu greeted another waiter who was hiding in a corner to watch the excitement to check out, and almost dragged Gao Liyuan out of the restaurant.

"The dishes haven't been served yet..."

"How can I eat here? I'll go to the station to buy a bowl of instant noodles later." Li Chuanqiu dragged Gao Liyuan 50 meters before he let go, looked at him and shook his head, "You are already a teacher...don't be so impulsive , don't cause trouble."

Gao Liyuan replied "Got it", took two steps, and couldn't help but turn back to glance at the restaurant.There were cars passing by on the street, and the shop was hung with thick curtains, and now even the slightest sound could not be heard.Li Chuanqiu walked to the passenger station in front of him, Gao Liyuan followed quickly behind, thinking, something has already happened.
