There are only a few days during the Spring Festival, and only a few days during the Spring Festival can relatives and friends scattered all over the country get together properly.

The pace of life is too fast, everyone is used to get together in a hurry, and then go their separate ways.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, He Zhao and Yi Shi came back from their grandparents' house, rushing to the evening class reunion.

The party was set at the "Barbecue Barbecue Restaurant" near the back door of the No. [-] Middle School. They used to come to this restaurant often, for no particular reason, just because it was a little deeper and there were not so many people.No one expected that the restaurants in this food street have changed wave after wave. This originally humble barbecue restaurant has survived for so many years, and it is getting better and better.

He Zhao pushed open the door of the box, and all the people chatting and laughing at the table looked over.

"Yo, it's so grand, how about paying attention?" He Zhao joked.

He knew that they were looking at Yi Shi. He and this group of people would get together almost every year at this time, but Yi Shi hadn't attended a party for three or four years.

This group of people has more or less changed, scattered in different industries have made great or small achievements, but as long as they get together, they are laughing and laughing endlessly, as if they are always 16 or 17 years old, and their playfulness is still alive.

Zuo Rui and Luo Hao consciously separated the two seats and asked them to come and sit.

"I'll just wait for you guys, He Zhao, why are you always late? Where is the concept of time? It hasn't improved after so many years." Du Shijie said while holding his glasses.

Du Shijie became a teacher after graduating from a normal university. In recent years, he has become more and more educational.I don't know if it's because I worked too hard at my desk, I got a little fatter, and my hairline receded a bit seriously. She looked a few years older than her actual age, and she looked more like the dean.

"Ms. Du, please forgive me, my head hurts when you speak." He Zhao said.

"Yi Shi, why haven't you and He Zhao changed, and you're getting more and more handsome?" Liu Xiaoyun wondered.

"Because as long as you don't like to teach others, you will never grow old." He Zhao said.

Du Shijie was about to retort: ​​"He Zhao, you..."

"Okay, okay, it's rare to have such a group of people this year. Brother Yi is back, so stop bickering." He Chongshan winked with a smile, "Zhaoer, don't you represent us to toast Brother Yi?"

"Why should I toast Brother Yi on behalf of us?" He Zhao was puzzled.

"Brother, tell me, how long have you been hiding it from us? How many years have I known you? You didn't know about your relationship until you graduated. Shouldn't you punish yourself three cups?" Jiang Lin chimed in.

"No, how many hundred years ago was this an excuse? It's still used now?" He Zhao understood, they got together and made it clear that they wanted to drink them, "And that's because you are stupid, you can ask Zhu Ye'er , people have already seen it."

Zhu Ye'er smiled, and she helped He Zhao speak: "Isn't that obvious?"

"Brother Yi, I've handed my Brother Zhao into your hands." He Chongshan changed his strategy, "Look, you haven't been in China these few years, thanks to me taking care of him."

He Zhao laughed: "He Daxian, are you ashamed? Who will take care of whom?"

Both He Chongshan and Jiang Lin are studying in local universities. They are close to Zhang Jiangyang and have a good relationship with He Zhao. Their parents also know Lin Peiling, so they can come directly to visit with nothing.Even though He Zhaoyuan was in Beijing, he knew exactly what the two of them and Fatty were doing.He Chongshan worked for two years, resigned to start a business, and borrowed 2 yuan from He Zhao.

Yi Shi didn't say anything, he clinked glasses with He Chongshan and drank a glass of wine directly, and the group of spectators were slightly satisfied.

After teasing He Zhao and Yi, he couldn't let Zuo Rui and her boyfriend go.

"Zuo Rui was the monitor of our class working overtime, but you picked it up."

"How many gay men in our class are sad, come and have a drink."

Zuo Rui laughed and scolded: "A bunch of nonsense, they can find any reason."

After drinking a round of wine, everyone started chatting with each other, talking about work, talking about their experiences in the past few years, and flattering each other commercially, but most of them were still reminiscing about their youth.Speaking of "teacher", talking about Lao Zhou, talking about the Sixth Middle School, talking about the college entrance examination, the school sports meeting...

That period of time was said over and over in different populations, but it was only three years, but it seemed endless. It was said every year, and it could never be finished.

Zuo Rui drank a few glasses of wine, shook his finger and said to He Zhao, "Have I told you, I have already seen that something is wrong between you and Yi Shi."

"You can pull it down." He Zhao said with a smile, "Everyone is an afterthought."

Students who knew that he and Yi Shi were together usually had two reactions, one was shocked and felt incredible, and the other was "I knew it".

"Really, don't believe me. At that time, I kept thinking about who Yi Shi liked. After thinking about it, I can't think of anyone else, only you." Zuo Rui said with a smile, "I feel that something is wrong with you , and at the same time, I can't believe that you are together, and I am so dazed."

"What's wrong?" He Zhao was curious.

"Didn't you realize that Yi Shi treats you very differently from others?" Zuo Rui asked him.

"Found it." He Zhao said honestly.

"That's right," Zuo Rui said, "He's been too kind to you."

"I'm good to him too." He Zhao said.

"You are good to everyone." Zuo Rui said.

"But I'm the best for him." He Zhao emphasized.

"All right, all right." Zuo Rui said.

"Barbecue Guy" is already a very high-end barbecue restaurant, and there are all kinds of entertainment in the box.

After eating and drinking enough, those who talked about the mountains continued to talk about the mountains, those who played board games played board games, and those who played karaoke karaoke were full of laughter.

Life is like this, some people are happy and some are sad.

Luo Hao drank too much, screamed a sad song, put down the mic and wiped tears at He Zhao: "Zhaoer, it's too difficult. My mother lied to me, my father lied to me, they all told me to get into a good university After graduation, if you have a good job, you will have a good life. Everyone says that I have a good job, but I am not good at all. I go to and from get off work every day and repeat my work mechanically. I am cautious and depressed, like a walking dead.”

"I know, you have worked hard." He Zhao comforted him.

"They still want to lie to me, saying that if they find a wife and have a baby, everything will be fine, I don't believe it, I really don't believe it." Luo Hao was really drunk, he would not sob like a child when he was sober, "Why is life so boring and lonely? Find a stable job, buy a house, get married and have children, is it considered success to keep up with or ahead of your peers? Am I going to live like this for the rest of my life?"

"Of course not. How can there be only one set of standards in life?" He Zhao gave him a few tissues.

"I'll be thirty in two years, but I'm so confused now. Zhao'er, I dreamed a few days ago when we were young, how simple and happy it was. I don't have any big dreams, I just hope that I can worry less every day But the older I get, the less happy I am." Luo Hao burst into tears, "I listen to my parents, I study hard, I work hard, but why am I living so badly?"

He Zhao patted him on the shoulder, isolated the others with his body, and left a small space for Luo Hao to vent.

After crying for a while, Luo Hao wiped his tears with a tissue, and said in a low voice, "I'm so envious of you and Brother Yi, you still have a companion."

"Then do you want to come to Beijing? Try to find a job you like more and live next door to us?" He Zhao didn't know if Luo Hao was awake now, but he still suggested patiently, "You are only 27." , there are still many ways to choose, if it’s really not possible, I can tidy up a study for you to sleep in.”

"Hmm." Luo Hao replied aggrievedly.

He Zhao couldn't help laughing, Luo Hao's expression was very similar to when he was beaten by his mother when he was a child, and when he ran into his house to seek shelter, he patted him on the shoulder: "Cheer up, young man, you are in a storm A person who grew up in a middle school, anyway, Auntie can't touch you now."

The party lasted until late at night, and He Zhao helped Luo Hao into the car of Ms. Luo Guilan who came to pick him up, said goodbye to everyone, and walked home along the street lights with Yi Shi.

It is not the direction of the new home, but leads to Zhuchen Village.

He Zhao didn't say anything, and walked down the road naturally, and Yi Shi didn't say anything, and stayed with him.

They are so familiar with this road, they walk back like this every night after self-study.

The street lamps on both sides pull their deep and shallow shadows, long and short, overlapped and separated to cover.

They looked like students who had just finished their evening self-study, walking side by side on the way home.

It's just that they didn't dare to have intimate movements outside at that time, but now they are holding hands openly.

Walking through the long slope and turning a corner, the cold winter wind became stronger and blew them.He Zhao shrank his neck and stared at Yi Shi with a smile.

He always laughed a lot when he was drinking, and smiled at people for no reason.

Yi Shi drank more than him, looked at him for a few seconds, then lowered his head and kissed him.

Immediately, He Zhao was not afraid of the cold, and stretched out his hands from his pockets, wrapped them around Yi Shi's neck, and kissed him.

The cold moonlight pierces through the thin clouds, casting hazy shadows, and the arrayed street lamps point to the lights of Wanjia not far away.On the quiet and deserted roadside, lovers who love each other hug and kiss deeply.

Grandpa Qian's convenience store at the gate of the community was still open at this point, He Zhao walked in and took two bottles of Coke from the refrigerator: "Grandpa Qian, buy two bottles of Coke."

Grandpa Qian shifted his gaze from the TV to He Zhao, recognized the smiling young man in a second, and skillfully scanned the QR code: "Xiao Zhao, do you still drink Coke in such a cold day?"

The tone was familiar, as if He Zhao had always lived here and never left.

"I want to drink." He Zhao said.

He casually glanced at the TV screen, it was a TV series he hadn't watched, and smiled: "Grandpa Qian, I'm leaving first."

Holding two bottles of Coke, he briskly walked back to Yi Shi.

Yi Shi took one of the bottles naturally, and touched the bottle with him lightly.

He Zhao unscrewed the Coke, took a sip, and announced softly, "We're back."

Ten years later, they went from 17 to 27 and returned to this place.
