my wife is a consul

Chapter 431
The shantytowns are all low wooden houses, messy everywhere, but full of life atmosphere, children running around with bare buttocks, women in the muddy alleys are carefully washing thick clothes, and usually the men in the family only have one or two things to go out to work Every time the clothes are washed and patched, the life of the clothes will be shortened a lot.

Gao Xiaoli and his elder brother Gao Dali live in the wooden house, and there are two other workers, one is single like Gao Dali, and the other is a couple living here. There are only thin curtains between the beds.

Today the wooden house was cleaned very clean. On the low table with missing legs was a pot of steaming cabbage stewed pork slices and boiled longevity noodles.

A few close workers were also called, and it was very lively and full of laughter.

Gao Dali was especially happy, he was very kind to his brother's two college students, like a real VIP at home.

Lu Ming originally wanted to prepare a gift, but in the end, he and Sun Jingjun bought a birthday card together. Now that I think about it, it was indeed a wise move. On a very happy day, eating cabbage stew makes me happier. I feel that the day is very promising , but if you don’t talk about preparing expensive gifts, just talk about making a birthday cake, not to mention distracting guests, it will also change the taste of people’s simple happiness.

There were also a bunch of children laughing and laughing beside him. In addition, there was a delicate girl named Gao Xiaoli "Brother Xiaoli", who seemed to be very concerned about Gao Xiaoli.

My hometown is all in the same village. The girl came out to work with her parents. She is one or two years younger than Gao Xiaoli. She looks seventeen or eighteen, with a red flower jacket and blue trousers, and long braids. She looks like a typical country girl, except for her dark skin. One point, there are calluses on her hands, she is still very handsome, and she also has the slenderness of a country girl.

At first glance, she knew that "Little Brother" who was admitted to the university was her crush and admiration, but an uneducated country girl was naturally ashamed of herself.

Today's college students are like champions to country people.

At the table, Gao Xiaoli insisted on drinking a glass of wine. His brother Dali pampered him, but he didn't care. Moreover, for this college student brother, he obviously didn't have the confidence to be a brother. Whatever the brother said, he did.

Gao Xiaoli was very happy, toasted his brothers and uncles, Lu Ming and Sun Jingjun, and thanked the two good friends for coming.

He also mentioned that he joined the school's performing arts club, and said that his original ideal was to be a big star, but unfortunately his family didn't have the conditions, so he could only listen to his brother and took a major that could make money, but brother, you don't understand, this is bullshit Unreasonable majors, all you learn are vain things, you can make money by not studying economics, brother, do you understand what economics means?This crappy school is patchwork and there is no backer at home, so I can only be a small clerk in a bank in the future. What if I study medicine and law?

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Sun Jingjun hurriedly stopped him, "You drink too much!"

"I, I don't have much..." Gao Xiaoli struggled, and suddenly plopped down on the table, still muttering, "I want to make money, I want to make money..."

Gao Dali hurriedly helped Gao Xiaoli to the bed with others, and a woman took care of him.

Gao Dali sighed when he came back, "Xiao Li, this kid, hasn't had a lot of alcohol, so I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, Mr. Zhang, you two are laughing at me!"

Although Lu Ming and Sun Jingjun are students, Gao Dali and others always use "Mr." to college students.

"Haha, Xiao Hua, the gift you prepared is no longer needed, this kid, he has practiced singing for several days!" Gao Dali said to the country girl, it was obvious that he liked Xiao Hua very much.

"Brother Li, is everything okay?" Xiao Hua asked with concern.

"It's okay, come on, let's continue eating." Gao Dali smiled at Lu Ming and Sun Jingjun, "Would you like a drink?"

Sun Jingjun said: "Okay, come here, I will pour a glass, today is not only Xiaoli's birthday, but also brother Dali, you have worked hard for a year, today is your holiday! 19 years ago today, God sent You have a good brother to come to you, right?"

Lu Ming looked at Sun Jingjun in amazement. This army, hidden in secret, turned out to be a talented person with a high EQ.

Naturally, the atmosphere was awkward, and it would be even more embarrassing if they broke up like this. He was in the circle.

Without Gao Xiaoli as the center, Dajun and Gao Dali quickly chatted enthusiastically, and then booed and asked Xiaohua to sing.

Xiao Hua sang a folk song, which was very clear and pleasant to the ear.

"Amin, you, as the representative team of our business school, are also talented, and you just sit there sullenly, what are you doing!" Da Jun pushed Lu Ming and blinked even more.

Gao Dali and others also applauded, "Mr. Zhang, come here!"

Lu Ming smiled, "Okay, let me hum a song!"

Picking up the chopsticks and knocking on the bowl, he chanted in a low voice: "An elderly man has to be steady, but who knows, sometimes he is innocent like a naughty boy..."

In the previous life, the ears could hear the cocoons in the popular Internet songs, but at that time, I just felt annoying.

Being human in two lifetimes, watching the lives of Gao Dali and others today, their joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys, suddenly reminded me of this song.

This song expresses the heartfelt feelings of middle-aged men under the pressure of life, only old people can understand it, right?

"It's all because of the rush of time, let the sharpness leak through the fingers, the years can't help you, the choice may not be a soft spot..."

"Who is unwilling to be mediocre, cursing the tricks of fate, sweating profusely against the cold, afraid of the ridicule of reality, and feeling that they are almost different..."

Gao Dali and the others listened, and gradually fell silent.

When you were young, who didn't feel so proud that you were the protagonist in this world?

But gradually I will realize that I am just an ordinary member among all living beings.

But life has to go on, and we have to work hard for a better life for the people around us.

Rolling in the muddy water every day, I only hope that there is still light ahead.

"...Strength is deliberate makeup..."

After Lu Ming finished humming, Gao Dali waited in silence, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Mr. Zhang, don't say anything, come, I, I must have a drink with you!" Gao Dali's face was full of excitement, and the circles of his eyes were a little red.

Lu Ming smiled and clinked glasses with him, and drank it down.

Gao Xiaoli is lucky, he has a good elder brother who shelters him from wind and rain, but Gao Xiaoli is still young, and he still doesn't understand what is the most important thing in his life.

Soon, the army over there also started talking nonsense.

Lu Ming looked at it and smiled.

"Mr. Zhang is different from Dajun and Xiaoli." Gao Dali said suddenly.

Lu Ming glanced at him, "Brother Dali, are you in good health? Do you want to go to the hospital for an examination?"

Gao Dali was startled, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Lu Ming thought for a while and said, "Brother Gao, you can't go to the construction site in Longbei, can you? Have you ever thought about going to the Montenegro Concession area? There are quite a lot of projects there now, and the cotton spinning factory is also recruiting people."

Gao Dali smiled wryly: "We Anshan people, how can we enter such a big factory? No big factory wants it at all. Mr. Zhang, you are in the school, so you probably don't know what's going on outside."

Lu Ming nodded, and the army stood up staggeringly, clamoring to go back to school now.

Lu Ming was funny, this guy only had a short time to shine, even after drinking.

Then, he got up and said goodbye.
