Er Gouzi's house is not far from my home, just a few steps away. It's still Xiaoxiu, Er Gouzi, Xiao Guang, Xiao Qiang and Niuzi who have been good buddies since childhood.
The brothers are usually busy. They work in other places and I go to school at home. Although we don’t see each other very often, we must get together during the New Year.
We haven’t seen each other for nearly a year, and they have grown taller and stronger.
Moreover, Xiaoguang seems to have brought another girl, which is different from the girlfriend he brought last year. It is obvious that this boy has changed his girlfriend again.
As soon as I arrived, they all chatted with me enthusiastically and greeted me politely.
During lunch, at the dinner table, they talked more about their experiences working outside.
I wasn't interested in listening, and I couldn't get in the middle of what they were saying, so I just talked about the food.
To be honest, they really have very few topics to talk to me about. If I have to say that they always laugh at me and say what’s the use of going to school? You see, we don’t go to school now, and we can do it every day.
It's really incomparable to make money, but now you are spending your family's money every day. In their mouths, they despise going to school.
In fact, I can completely understand this. The reason why they despise going to school is because they missed the opportunity to go to school when they were young and ignorant. Later, when they worked hard and tired on the construction site, sweat, tears, grievances and pains, they could only swallow them in their stomachs.
I also regretted giving up the opportunity to go to school.
Everyone who has finished school or graduated and is struggling in society knows that what they want to go back to most are those carefree days on campus.
What people despise is often what they can't get.
Another topic that everyone can talk about together is women. When a group of men are together, the topic always involves women, and we are no exception. As we chat, everyone starts to talk to each other about their girlfriends.
Xiaoguang kept showing off to everyone his new girlfriend, who he hadn't seen for nearly a year. This guy was very upset. He had a cigarette in his mouth and kept swearing.
Several buddies such as Xiaoxiang, Ergouzi, Xiaoqiang and Niuzi also told about the current situation of their girlfriends, and they all clamored to bring her over to meet their brothers next year.
I didn't know what to say to them. They all smoked, but I didn't smoke. My reason was that I couldn't smoke in school. Once I told them this reason, they laughed at me for being a prude.
Several people talked about me, and I didn't bother to refute anything. I just smiled and kept eating.
When it comes to girlfriends, they are full of swear words, and I feel that I can hardly talk to them. This is the difference between those who have gone to school and those who have not.
So in the end, I basically didn't say a word, just laughing and eating vegetables.
Although I don't speak, it doesn't mean they can't find me.
What's more, I relied on Zhang Miaomiao to pretend to be my girlfriend last year and made a lot of money for them. This year they must be trying to make me look embarrassed.
I understand this. It is normal for brothers to joke around and play around.
No, as he was talking, Xiaoguang started to bring the topic to me. He pointed at his long-haired girlfriend next to him and said to me, "Liangzi, how are you? Look, I have a new girlfriend.
As the name suggests, Xiaomei, what about you? Where is your girlfriend from last year? Why don’t you bring her with you this year?
Their words reminded me of Zhang Miaomiao. Last year, Zhang Miaomiao stole the show around me and earned me enough face, which made them envious and jealous.
However, this year, it is impossible for me to bring her here.
Maybe, she has become Xu Hongyang's girlfriend, maybe, she will go to Xu Hongyang's house this year. Maybe.
Regarding Zhang Miaomiao, many things are possible. The only thing that is certain is that everything she does in the future will have nothing to do with me.
Thinking of Zhang Miaomiao, I feel very uncomfortable.
Facing Xiaoguang's provocative words, I just shook my head, smiled bitterly, and didn't want to answer.
