Chapter 55: It's a little cold this winter

Xiao÷Shuo◎.com     】,♂Xiao÷Shuo◎.com    】,

I stared at Xiaobai, and I didn't say anything for a long time. I didn't know how to comfort me, and I didn't know how long I would last here.

This is not the first time I heard that he was leaving Beijing. After the fire in Daxing, he said that he could not stay here for a longer time. He was so cold that he was inhumane. I don’t know how many people were going to leave, and I don’t know how many people would run here.

"If you change a house, you really can't go to my place."

I don’t have many friends in Beijing, so Xiaobai can definitely be considered one. Even though I still don’t know his name, I have chatted with him every day for more than a year to discuss which girl is suitable for a night of fun, and gradually became an indispensable part of my life, so I spoke to keep her. At least now I am better than him, so I don’t have to worry that someone will break into the house one day and then demolish illegal building partitions.

"Thanks."

Xiaobai smiled, took the wine glass from the new bartender, handed me a glass, and then he signaled me to touch the glass, smash it, and said incredible: "It turns out to be this smell, Brother Chen, you said I have been here for three years, and this is the first time I have had a glass of wine. Isn't it enough to drink a rustic?"

Before I could answer, Xiaobai asked and answered, "It's really a rustic guy, but I can't do anything about it. I'm afraid of being poor and never needed money like that. My hometown is in the rural area of ​​Hebei. Half of the young and middle-aged people in the village can come to Beijing to compare with them. I'm fine, at least I can't even get rain or wet. Although I don't make much money, I'm already considered a high salary compared to them."

"Then why don't you change a house?"

As far as I know, during this tide of leaving Beijing, many people are unwilling to change houses and leave. I am not qualified to evaluate the good or bad things in this kind of thing, but if you can stay, you will encounter more opportunities, right? Half of the people who come to Beijing have dreams of money, and the other half are hard-working in their hometown and cannot find opportunities, so they choose to come here to try it.

Xiaobai is probably between the two.

"Brother, I don't want to leave either." Xiaobai glanced at the bar with a confused look and said, "Seldom people don't like this atmosphere. The air is filled with the smell of young hormones, alcohol, music, stories and corruption that belongs to the new human beings. If I have the chance, I really want to stay, and then struggle for more than ten or twenty years to finally buy this store and run it myself, but there is never any if in this world."

"Since you have thought of it, why don't you hold on for a while?" asked with a little puzzled look.

"Reality it didn't give me any choice." Xiaobai drank the wine in the cup in one breath, snapped his fingers and asked for another glass, and explained to me: "Normally, the money I earn now can completely allow me to rent a good house, and even let me find a girl who is willing to rely on together. That's so damn beautiful, but I can't, it's really not."

"My family is in the countryside, and my parents are native farmers. I have a younger brother. I was naughty since I was a child. My grades were not good when I was studying. I dropped out of school early to work. My father left before the New Year, and now my mother is the only one who is left to pull my brother. My brother got into college this year and it was time to need money. Therefore, most of the money I earned from work has to be sent to my home. In real life, I don't allow me to find a girl or rent a good house."

Speaking of this, Xiaobai's vision was a little blurred. Seeing this, I handed him a cigarette and helped him ignite it.

Xiaobai took a sip, perhaps a little anxious, coughed, and said, "I never thought of complaining. No matter how much I complain, the reality is in front of me, so I have been changing, but now I don't give me the opportunity to change, and I never feel that I can be so helpless."

Every family has difficult sutras. I thought my life was bad enough, but Xiaobai was even worse than me. Life was bad enough, but there must be someone in this world that was worse than him.

To a certain extent, we are the same people, all of whom are desperate about life, but have to find people who hope to persevere.

I didn't know how to comfort me, so I could only accompany him to smoke and drink, and I didn't do well in Beijing. I just lost my job and was facing the intersection of my life. I didn't know my future choices, so how should I comfort him?

?

"It's good to leave here, everything in Beijing is good, but it changes too quickly and has never been a nostalgic city."

"Yes, I never miss you." Xiaobai sighed and said, "I plan to go to the south to try it, maybe it will be done."

"Have you thought about which city to go to?"

"Guangzhou or Shenzhen," Xiaobai pondered for a moment: "It looks very similar to Beijing, but no matter how similar it is, it is a new challenge."

"Good luck, maybe I'll go to your city and ask you to treat me two more drinks."

"Wine is enough and the girl, just like here."

"Ha ha"

We all knew that after he left, we would quickly return to another circle, and we would not have any intersection in the future. In this way, on this warm night today, I lost a friend.

He drank all the wine in the cup in one sip and looked at the stage. At this time, Du Cheng had already stepped onto the stage. He tweaked the electric guitar strings a few times, and his voice was low and powerful: "Winter in Beijing" is for everyone.

The low characters were spit out by Du Cheng, like a hammer hitting the heartstring. I never thought he would choose such a song that suits the situation. This is probably the tacit understanding between brothers. I said to Xiaobai: "This winter in Beijing is so fucking cold."

"But, spring comes back sooner or later, aren't it?"

"So you chose to go to the south because spring will come very early there?"

"It should be like this."

Nodded, I got up and hugged Xiaobai. I said in his ear: "Brother, if you say too much, you will be pretentious and everything will go well."

"Thank you, brother."

Xiaobai said softly, with a little choking.

I know that the relationship between us has not reached this point. The reason why he is like this is probably because he wants to leave this city. I am the same as everyone in the ferry. They are just passers-by in Xiaobai's life. They appear without any warning and disappear like the curtain call of a movie. Perhaps one day in the future, when he thinks of his years of drifting in Beijing, he will also think of these people. These things will eventually pass by and remain in memory.

Looking at Xiaobai's back as he left, I couldn't help but wonder if one day I would leave Beijing like him, leaving this cold city that was once full of hope but failed to stick to my ideals.
Chapter completed!
