"Don't overthink it. My sexuality is as normal as steel. I have two rooms at home. What's wrong with staying here for a night if you're drunk?"
"I'm going to the restaurant. When your friend comes, you can take her to the Bashu Restaurant for dinner. I'll tell you the place, and it's my treat."
"I'll take care of your business later. My buddy's mom made some delicious dishes and dumplings, and he brought them over."
“That’s really good.”
Lin Chan walked out.
I cleaned up the room simply and it was time to change the bags of the paper rolls in the bedroom.
A little after 11 o'clock.
A Hyundai sedan drove into the community gate and stopped at a spot.
The person who came out of the car was my buddy Chen Haonan.
He is about 1.63 meters tall and may not weigh more than 100 kilograms.
He's not ugly, but he's thin.
A few years ago, I was just joking and kicked him casually, and he flew backwards.
After that, even when he was drunk and told me Hei Hu that he was lying, I didn't dare to kick him.
“This is how many dishes you brought.”
I looked at the six lunch boxes in Chen Haonan's hands in surprise.
"Three dishes and a soup, and the other two lunch boxes are all dumplings. After we finish eating, you can put the remaining dumplings in the refrigerator and eat them later."
"Aunt Liu is so nice to me."
Chen Haonan's mother's name is Liu Cuiling, and I always call her Aunt Liu.
Chen Haonan's father's name is Chen Bajin, and I call him Uncle Chen.
He once said, fortunately my father’s surname is not Wang, otherwise his nickname would be uglier than mine.
I said, how do you know your father’s surname is not Wang?
He was not angry, but smiled crookedly. My mother is not pretty, how could she have such good fortune?
Home.
Several lunch boxes were placed side by side on the dining table.
I opened the lunch boxes one by one and very grandly.
"Braised pork, steamed sea bass, minced pork tofu, winter melon meatball soup... Thank you, Aunt Liu, these are all my favorite dishes."
"Two boxes of dumplings, one with beef and green onions and one with chives and eggs. Take out some and put them in the refrigerator, or you'll get sick of them if you pick up your chopsticks."
While Chen Haonan was speaking, he threw me a cigarette.
"How much does a pack of this blue-box Furong King cost?" I asked.
"Over thirty."
"You better save some money, your salary isn't that high, and you still have a car and smoke such expensive cigarettes."
"Brother, it's all for face. I'm short, so I have to smoke high-end cigarettes. I wish I could smoke soft cigarettes every day."
After Chen Haonan made the joke, his face turned sad.
I thought to myself, she has fallen into heartbreak so quickly, how can I comfort her?
I slowly put some of the dumplings on a plate and then put it in the refrigerator.
He brought over a bottle of Red Star Erguotou and poured wine into the porcelain glass.
"These are all wine glasses left by my uncle Dong. Uncle Dong didn't leave you many houses, but he left you a lot of porcelain wine glasses."
"Don't be angry with me!"
We clinked glasses, and seeing my buddy was drinking too much, I quickly waved my hand to remind him, "Slow down, if you take one sip and you get dizzy, you won't be able to talk!"
After taking a sip of the wine, Chen Haonan almost choked on tears and complained, "Dong Hang, your Red Star Erguotou isn't as good as Wuliangye!"
“No matter who sells a bottle of liquor worth ten yuan, it’s not as good as Wuliangye.”
I am speechless.
Suddenly I thought of the Wuliangye that Aunt Lin Chan next door treated me to, but I was too lazy to provoke her.
I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the braised pork.
The taste is soft, glutinous and sweet.
"Aunt Liu's cooking skills are sometimes good and sometimes bad. The braised pork she brings me is always better than the one I eat at your house."
"Dong Hang, since my family moved from Chaoyang to Haidian, you've rarely been there. My mom's cooking skills have improved, but you just don't know it.
With the vigorous development of the tertiary industry, people’s material and spiritual living standards have steadily improved…”
Chen Haonan chattered incessantly.
While eating, I was thinking about tonight's card game.
I didn't hear a word he said.
However, I particularly like the taste of these dishes.
"drink wine!"
Chen Haonan clinked glasses with me. "Dong Hang, you've barely worked in a company. Even someone like me, with a bachelor's degree, wouldn't listen to your reasoning. Besides playing games and cards, what else do you do in your life?"
"Is it your business?"
I started pouring wine into the glass and said angrily, "One cup is two taels, and you only have four taels, don't show off. A broken heart is not scary, the old one must go before the new one comes, but it's hard to drink.
"Zhou Xuefei is such an idiot. She always complained about me being short and not handsome enough! Her family lives in a county in Yanbei, but she never considered my Beijing hukou."
"If a girl doesn't plan to stay in Beijing to develop her career, why would she consider your Beijing hukou?"
"When men look at women, they care about their appearance. When women look at men, they should care about their talent. My voice is a bit like Andy Lau's. During my university years, I was twice awarded the title of Top Ten Campus Singers.
Every time we have a team building at the company, my singing is always greeted with warm applause. My immediate boss, a very beautiful woman, even offered to sing a duet with me.
"How about you pursue your female boss?"
"I'll consider it after she gets divorced."
"Your sister..."
As expected.
Before I had even finished my meal, Chen Haonan was already drunk.
This guy is a pretty good drinker, he doesn't always act crazy when drunk.
Today he just whimpered, but didn't yell.
I helped him to the spare bedroom and had him lie on the bed sideways. "Stay like this. Don't lie flat. If you want to vomit, vomit on the ground."
"I don't want to vomit, I want Zhou Xuefei."
"How about you call her and I'll say a few words for you?"
This is my best friend. I would feel bad if he didn’t help me at all.
"I don't know her home phone number. She changed her phone number!"
"Where's QQ?"
"I deleted her, and then I added her again, but there's been no response."
"Never mind."
"It can't be forgotten. I'll ask for leave later and you can accompany me to Yanbei."
Chen Haonan's cry was like a heart-wrenching cry.
All I can say is that I'll go with you to see it when the time comes.
“Ah…”
Chen Haonan vomited on the ground.
I kept patting his back.
I waited until he fell asleep and saw that he was still lying on his side before I left the room.
The dumplings are delicious, the dishes are delicious, and the soup is delicious.
I was alone, so I continued eating.
I heard a knock on the door and walked over to open it.
