Chu Zhixi disliked that the catering in the large shopping center was too expensive to be called high-quality and cheap. He took Wu Mian out to dinner.


    They casually found a restaurant around and prepared to choose carefully after lunch. Wu Mian patiently works for Chu Zhixi. This is to buy lovers'' shirts. It''s a matter for two people. We should correct our attitude.


    Chu Zhixi just smiled. No matter what Wu Mian said, she was good one by one, and her brother was right.


    Wu Mian can''t help taking her. If you want to say that your girl is stingy, you can''t say so. Not to mention anything else, I told the girl about the construction of the orphanage. She agreed without even asking how much it would cost.


    But if she has no concept of money, she is also wrong. If you don''t spend money on a necklace, you won''t spend it. Chu Zhixi is reluctant to have a meal in the shopping center.


    No way, Wu Mian won''t talk about her because of this little thing, as long as she is happy.


    Lunch is very simple. One fried meat with green pepper and two bowls of rice. Wu Mian carefully observed Chu Zhixi''s sensitivity to this saltiness.


    Life lies in the accumulation of details. Even if Wu Mian never forgets it, there was too little accumulation in the past. He is ready to start now.


    "XIAOLINZI, don''t just drink sultry wine, but also go to work in the afternoon." three men sitting diagonally were eating, one of them said.


    In Wu Mian''s memory, there were three of them, two of them sitting on one side and the other sitting on the other side. There are two empty bottles on the table. They are small strong wine in two and a half. The man is drinking the third.


    The three people should have just arrived. They only served one dish. The drinker didn''t see him eat anything, but just drank muggy wine with his head down.


    It is estimated that there is something to worry about, Wu Mian guessed.


    But it''s a little too much to drink at noon?


    "It''s all right. I asked for leave this afternoon." the man who drank had a big tongue. He didn''t notice it at all. He still drank with a bottle.


    "Don''t you have something to do? You can''t do anything if you drink too much." a man was persuading the drinker across the street. The man sitting next to him stabbed him with his elbow to stop talking.


    Speaking of the afternoon, the drinking man simply drank up the rest of the strong wine, and then shouted, "waiter, two more bottles."


    "Kobayashi, stop drinking. It''s almost enough." the older man advised, "everyone boils it up like this. It''s no big deal. Stick to it. Life is the same."


    "Brother Zhou." Xiao Lin''s eyes turned red, stared at the man opposite and said, "you don''t know, my father said he would break up the father son relationship with me, and my daughter-in-law said he would divorce me, i... I..."


    Obviously, he drank too much and spoke vaguely, like an egg in the bottom. But his words were full of resentment and helplessness. As he spoke, he patted the table and shouted, "waiter, wine!"


    "Kobayashi, don''t drink, don''t drink." the old man pressed his hand and motioned to the waiter that he had drunk too much. Don''t pay attention to him. Then he advised, "don''t you want a child? The whole family sit down and discuss it well and see what you can do."


    "Discuss, how to discuss." Xiaolin is full of wine and red eyes. "My father wants to have grandchildren, and my daughter-in-law also wants to have children when she is young. But how? What to use!"


    "Keep your voice down and don''t disturb everyone to eat." the old man looked around and saw someone looking at this side with dissatisfied eyes, so he bent down slightly and made an apology to the surrounding diners.


    "Both of us are from the countryside, and we can''t borrow any strength at all. Since graduation, we have worked every morning and night, worked hard and worked hard, and saved a down payment."


    "In fact, you know, the down payment is not enough. House prices are rising much faster than we earn."


    "Back hundreds of thousands of housing loans, this time to have children, with what to support the family!"


    The more the man said, the more excited he was. The older man hurried to sit next to him, used his arm, and said to the landlord on his shoulder, "it was the same when I was young. Children are more expensive when they have money. If they don''t have money, they can raise them freely. After two years of hard work, they can bear it."


    "Brother, you don''t know I''m suffering." Kobayashi lowered his head and spoke in a much lower voice. "I bought the house and carried a debt. If we didn''t have children, we could work together and have more money at home. But I can''t say that. I''m a man and I have to face!"


    If he couldn''t say anything at ordinary times, he talked to his colleagues through the strength of wine. Kobayashi''s mood was a little out of control. He stretched out his hand and slapped it on his face.


    "I have no face to say to my lover..."


    "Doesn''t she know?" the old man quickly took Xiaolin''s hand and asked.


    "She means that if she doesn''t have children again, she will become an old woman. It doesn''t matter if she has worked hard in recent years. If she gets older and older after this time, she''s afraid she won''t have children."


    "She''s quite a mother. She wants a child, but I can''t hold it. Even if I have this heart, I don''t have this ability." Kobayashi said, his heart filled with sadness and sobbed on the table.


    The older man sighed and advised, "don''t make a hasty decision and go to the hospital for abortion. You can discuss it again and wait until you calm down..."


    "Brother, I''m quite calm. If I hadn''t been calm, the child would have died." the man looked up and turned pale. It seemed that the wine was surging up. He retched, but didn''t spit it out. Then he wiped the vomit that didn''t exist on his mouth and continued, "6000 mortgage a month. This is money."


    "Two old people are all right now, but they are all more than 60. Brother, more than 60! Hypertension and diabetes are all a bit of these. Buying medicine is also money. This is not counted. Once anyone is seriously ill, he must receive treatment and care from provincial capital."


    "You say I work alone to earn money. What should I do?"


    "Kobayashi, think for the best." the middle-aged man''s eye wrinkles deepened a little. He sighed deeply and said, "that''s an extreme situation."


    "Don''t coax me." Kobayashi''s eyes stared very big, but his tears flowed down the corners of his eyes and couldn''t stop. "This is inevitable, not this year, but next year. No, let''s say that the old man is in good health. He can hear that he is 70 or 80 years old. This is the age of the head office."


    "Where''s the child?" Xiao Lin said with red eyes. "It''s a gold eater. His children must be distressed. If they have money, they have to spend it. I asked several colleagues. Even if the conditions are bad, it costs two or three thousand a month."


    Sentence by sentence, there is nothing special. Many people have faced and experienced it. This is life, isn''t it?
