That night, we sang until after 11 o'clock in the evening.

Sing and drinking while singing.

It seems that I have forgotten what happened in the evening.

Zhou Yuhe ordered the cake in advance, the birthday song we sang in the KTV private room, and the cake we ate.

Lin Xiaojuan also drank a lot of wine and seemed not very happy. After making a wish and eating the cake, she grabbed the microphone and said to me, "The birthday is almost over. Do you have something to tell me?"

I said, "No."

Lin Xiaojuan said, "Lie, you have something to hide from me."

I said, "What else can I hide from you? I just have nothing to do every day, what should I hide from?"

Everyone started to cheer together, "If you have anything, just say it."

Lin Xiaojuan shouted loudly: "Then what is in your pants pocket!"

Pan Shilong took advantage of my inattention and snatched the diamond ring from my pants pocket. Zheng Jianlian said, "Brother Dog, you are having a surprise."

Wan Fei shouted: "Proposal! Proposal!"

Everyone followed suit.

Ma Qiansheng's three girlfriends also shouted: "Proposal, propose!"

I refuse.

I don't want to worry about face?

Everyone was drinking a little bit.

Relying on his height than me, Pan Shilong pressed me down with one hand and pressed me down. He spoke to me in a bad mood and was almost kissing me. I said you should stay away from me. I was worried that he would drink too much and kiss me, so he pushed him up hard. He shouted for others to help, and Zheng Ye hurried over and pressed one of my legs down.

In this way, everyone worked together to make me propose.

I was actually very resistant inside. It’s not that I don’t love Lin Xiaojuan, but I’m pretentious and angry.

Zhang Dan's boyfriend handed the diamond ring box to me and said, "Brother, proposal is a good thing. I also proposed to Dandan before. It's very beautiful. Don't make it seem like someone is forced, it's so easy to cut off?"

I was holding the diamond ring box, Lin Xiaojuan stood in front of me, holding the microphone, watching me not talking.

I glanced around and said, "The melon is not sweet. Do you have any consideration for me to do this?"

Lin Xiaojuan shouted to the microphone with a hint of drunkenness: "I just like to eat forced melons!"

Let's make a fuss together.

Wan Fei shouted: "Are you still a man?"

Pan Shilong: "If you are a man, you propose!"

Zheng Jian said: "Brother Dog, don't tremble when you wait. It's dark here, and it's very troublesome to find diamonds."

Ma Qiansheng's three girlfriends acted coquettishly together: "We want to do it too, you propose to us quickly!"

What's going on?

I'm going to die if I talk about a girlfriend.

Seeing this situation, if I don’t cooperate with everyone to complete the performance, I will probably be beaten to death.

Many times, relatives and friends help you, not because they really think it is good to you, but because they think it is good to you.

How many people really care about your feelings at that time?

I calmed down and told myself that all reactionaries are paper tigers, and all obstacles are interludes. Don’t forget your original intention when you fall in love with others. I took a deep breath and opened the diamond ring box, and said to Lin Xiaojuan: "Thank you all the love and support, the introverted and shy me..."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Wan Fei said, "No, be serious, you are still introverted, start over!"

I said OK, start over.

"Twenty-three years ago, I came to the world, not knowing the hardships of running around the world, not knowing the sourness and sweetness of the world. In the past 23 years, my biggest dream is to marry a good wife. Today, I, Gou Shuhan, here, solemnly apply to you - Lin Xiaojuan, I want to be your household head, marry me!"

Lin Xiaojuan said excitedly: "I do!"

Before I could pick up the ring, she stretched out her right hand and I hurriedly put the ring on the middle finger of her right hand.

I don't know if she's drunk too much or if she really wants to.

Everyone cheered together.

Lin Xiaojuan had an unforgettable special birthday. Within one day, two men proposed to her.

Then, I also learned why Lin Xiaojuan’s mother informed Director Lin to come to the birthday party.

On the way to Buji in the past, I fell asleep. Lin Xiaojuan saw the pockets on the side of my pants were bulging. She secretly took them out and saw that it was a diamond ring, so she secretly put them back.

The young man has never experienced it and is very happy inside. When I called Pan Shilong and the others outside the restaurant, she couldn't help but call her mother, and then told me about what I might be preparing to propose. Her mother asked about the birthday dinner location. She thought she was her mother caring about her, but she didn't expect her mother to betray her.

If Lin Xiaojuan hadn't spoken out in front of everyone on KTV, with my personality, I wouldn't have been sure if I would be angry and wouldn't have proposed.

The misunderstanding has been eliminated.

But the plot development ahead exceeded my expectations.

Life is sometimes like a bloody drama.

Back on the night of my birthday, Lin Xiaojuan and I took a taxi back to Baishizhou to rent a house. With a little drunkenness, we chatted for a long time, and talked very late, and told Director Lin thoroughly.

She said she happened to have taken Director Lin's car twice, because there was another female colleague from the company in the car and did not ride his car alone. But I didn't see it. On weekdays, Director Lin did go to her company to express his love and give gifts to pursue her, but she refused, and hoped that Director Lin would give up when she saw the difficulties.

From what I know about her, she will not lie to me, and there is no need for her to lie to me.

Regarding the incident with Director Lin that day, I felt uncomfortable at first, thinking that she didn't care about me but Director Lin. She explained that she was worried that I was too ruthless, but later she was worried that the police would cause trouble.

After thinking about it, I felt that what she said was right and what she said made sense.

I drank a little too much that night. Looking at her lying beside me explaining to me carefully, her big eyes flashed, and her white teeth opened and closed under her red lips.

I couldn't help but hold her lips with the alcohol.

It was another romantic night, and when she woke up, she had already gone to work.

We spent the next days in a delicate balance. She was afraid that I would think too much, so she didn't mention Director Lin at all. I didn't want to seem too careless and too scrupulous, so I no longer mentioned Director Lin.

I worked hard to make money, thinking about buying a house as soon as possible, so as to get married as soon as possible, and she worked hard, thinking about not causing trouble for myself.

Every morning I go to the exhibition center to send my business cards, and I give up lunch boxes at the exhibition center at 11:30, and arrive at the southern part of the Science and Technology Park at around 12:00 noon. I go to the south of the Science and Technology Park in guerrilla warfare and sell lunch boxes everywhere. As for the matter of going to a hotel to resell a room at night, I have given up. The fundamental reason is that Pan Shilong suggested that I pick up Lin Xiaojuan from get off work every day, and not be targeted by Director Lin Xiaojuan again, it would be more than worth the loss.

Speaking of Pan Shilong, the young man has no other shortcomings except for looking ugly than me. He is tall, has a good reputation, has a responsibility to his family, and takes care of his two sisters like his father. If I were a woman, I would want to marry him after a few years because he was too honest. "When I get tired of playing, I will find an honest person to marry him."

Time is sometimes hard to endure, but if you get busy, time will pass quickly.

After the New Year's Day in 2006, the Spring Festival travel rush soon came. There was no dispute between Lin Xiaojuan and I. She had been back and I could spend wherever I wanted.

Before this, I told Lin Xiaojuan that I would go to your house until the New Year. Because of the episode where Director Lin proposed to her, I didn’t call Lin’s father and mother. Every time I picked up my phone and wanted to call, I always felt very awkward.

I don’t know who to consult about this matter, and I didn’t tell my mother who is far away from home about this matter, so I don’t want her to worry.

Because I am worried that it will not solve the problem.

Lin Xiaojuan said that she would communicate with her parents, but she told me that she would find a chance to take a look after the New Year. It might not be suitable for the New Year.

I didn't force it either. After all, my mother-in-law doesn't like me very much. Although we met and got along happily, there were no conflicts or misunderstandings.

I bought the plane ticket for Lin Xiaojuan early, one is to buy it in advance with high cost performance, and the other is to worry that it is difficult to get a ticket at that time during the Spring Festival travel rush.

Every year, the Spring Festival travel rush is the most complicated time for many wanderers who return home. They want to go back but are poor and can’t even afford tickets. For example, Zheng Jian wants to go back but his girlfriend asks to go to her house, which makes people feel unhappy. For example, Wan Fei. These are actually small things in front of the Spring Festival travel rush. Some people want to go back but can’t buy tickets, such as Pan Shilong.

When the company was about to have a holiday, there was no exhibition held in the exhibition center, and the science and technology parks started to have a holiday one after another. My income dropped sharply. In the end, my income was zero, and there was no market for reselling hotels.

I am just a wild child, no one is my leader, unrestrained, there is no need to go on holidays, and when I have nothing to do, I often make some food at home and send it to Lin Xiaojuan to the company, and wait for her to get off work in the afternoon.

Sometimes when I was bored, I went to the Internet cafe to play games. After playing too much, I had the idea of ​​buying a computer. I told Lin Xiaojuan about my thoughts. Instead, she made suggestions, since I had to buy a computer when playing games, and spend so much money, why don’t you lose your ambitions?

What I said seemed to be reasonable, but I thought about it and quit the game again.

At this point, I don’t smoke, play games, and I don’t have any other bad habits except drinking. Pan Shilong joked that if you quit drinking and break up, you will be a monk’s life, without desire or demand.

I replied to him, "Bao, even if I am a monk with wine and meat, I still have to return to secular life and get married."

In the blink of an eye, it was the day Lin Xiaojuan went back. On January 13, 2006, I took her to the airport and watched her go to board the plane for security check. Then I watched a lot of time at the airport.

When I was a child, I still watched the plane fly over not far from my head when I was a child’s playmate picking bracken at the hill, but it was just a small plane. I heard that it was sowing seeds.

Unexpectedly, now it is big, so I can stand at the airport and watch the plane behemoth take off and land.

The times are developing too fast. When I was a child, it was awesome for anyone to have a TV. Now I am rich, and flying is happening around me. I have never taken a plane.

I have to sit once when I have time, and I hope the first time is to go to Qingdao.

Lin Xiaojuan went back, and I suddenly felt lonely alone. After leaving the airport, I ran to the mangroves to play, sitting on the grass and thinking about what to do next.

No work, no sense of belonging, no sense of collectiveness.

I made money, but my heart became even more lonely.

I picked up my phone and searched through the address book for a long time. I didn't know who to call to chat with so many people I knew.

Looking at the sea, I decided to call my mother.

The phone rang for a long time before my mother answered the phone and asked her what she was doing. She said she was helping Sanniang next door to make the delicious leaf cake for the New Year. This is a specialty of Xiangxi. It is made of kneaded with a certain proportion of glutinous rice, sticky rice flour and artemisia juice. It is wrapped with sesame brown sugar. After steaming, it is soft, glutinous and sweet.
