After Ma Xiaotiao parked the car, he realized that his little red car didn't seem to embarrass Qi Shugen very much, because there were all mid-range economical and practical cars nearby, and none of them were domineering sports cars. Ma Xiaotiao was not stupid, so he thought about it a little. I understand. Let¡¯s not talk about the IQ of the big courtyard brother. His emotional intelligence is not too bad. Especially in the Zhejiang area, all kinds of horizons are wide and the big trees attract the wind. We must pay attention to the influence. Since the big courtyard brother has this awareness, those who are qualified Of course, outsiders who participate in birthday parties will also have multiple minds. Otherwise, in the officialdom, it would be like the superiors at the meeting holding ordinary teacups and talking about things, while the subordinates would hold a shiny gold teacup there to show off. , isn¡¯t this a slap in the face? Ma Xiaotiao and Qi Shugen got off Xiaohong together. Qi Shugen couldn't laugh or cry because Ma Xiaotiao just said, did you see the box on the back seat? It was the highest-grade inflatable doll that felt great and received rave reviews online. Ma Xiaotiao initially thought that Qi Shugen would leave the hot box in the car and wait until the birthday party was over before finding an opportunity to move it home. However, Qi Shugen would pick it up without saying a word. Ma Xiaotiao was stunned and asked Are you really going to hold it in like this? Qi Shugen smiled and asked, "If you dare to give it to me, why don't you dare to accept it?" Like? Ma Xiaotiao sighed and said with a smile, I call you a hero. Don't worry, it's not an inflatable doll. I'm not that evil. It's a Danish castle I built with waste paper a few years ago and gave it to you. Qi Shugen smiled brightly and said, "Are you willing?" Ma Xiaotiao said coolly: "It's my birthday, so you can wash your butt and give your brother a haircut." Qi Shugen held the box and raised his foot as if to kick it. Ma Xiaotiao warned you to be careful. If the castle collapses, I won't be done with you. I drove 50 yards all the way here. Qi Shugen could only give up.
He and Ma Xiaotiao became friends. It was a matter of course. In the beginning, the two often played Dota together, but instead of playing against people, they played the al version and played against the computer. It was very 2B young people's way of playing. Later, they joined together. After participating in a marathon held in Hangzhou, the two men, who had no girlfriends, had something in common. During the marathon, the two of them even wore couple's outfits in a funny way. They were both very handsome young men, which really made my sister regretful. It¡¯s okay for good women to have lace, but even good men have to be gay. This world doesn¡¯t allow people to live anymore! Both of them like to collect stamps and cards. When they talked, they found out that when they were young, they bought a whole box of raccoon crispy noodles in order to collect all 108 generals of the Water Margin, and ate two packs of them for breakfast every day. During the summer and winter vacations of the past two years, Qi Shugen and Ma Xiaotiao would have dinner together from time to time and ride bicycles around the West Lake. If they were further away, they would even ride to the Xin'an River in Jiande. During this period, Qi Shugen went to Ma Xiaotiao's house many times to cheat on food and drink. He was very familiar with Ma Xiaotiao's parents, and his uncles and aunts called him diligently, but Ma Xiaotiao never asked Qi Shugen what his family did. At first, Qi Shugen just said that his parents were civil servants. Later, he wanted to explain it specifically, but felt that it was inappropriate. Necessarily, Qi Shugen admired Ma Xiaotiao's mentality very much. It could be said that he watched him mature little by little with his own eyes. Qi Shugen had met many sophisticated people of his age, and he really felt that Ma Xiaotiao was to his liking. I remember going to the Philippines once. Compared with clubbing, when I saw those professional beggars on the road holding children and pretending to beg for mercy, Ma Xiaotiao gave money and took out all the change, including hundreds and dozens of dollars, and gave it all, but he yelled at those adults for their inhumanity. In the middle of winter, they don¡¯t care whether their children live or die. Later, when Qi Shugen was having supper, he said that those children were not their biological children, they were just props. Just like actors, the money you gave them was unjust and not worth it. Ma Xiaotiao replied, "I know, but seeing the child suffering from the cold makes me feel pitiful." Qi Shugen was in a crisis once and didn't want to borrow money from his parents. He hesitated and asked Ma Xiaotiao to borrow 60,000 yuan. Ma Xiaotiao had always spent money lavishly. He didn't have that much at the time, but he borrowed 40,000 yuan from his friends without saying anything. I gave it to Qi Shugen that day. Qi Shugen said I would write you an IOU. Ma Xiaotiao shook his head and said no. If you have money, you can pay it back. If you don¡¯t have money, you don¡¯t have to pay it back. Just treat it as a red envelope I will give you when you get married in the future. I, Ma Xiaotiao, I have no future, I just don¡¯t want to waste money with my friends. This kind of thing is more frustrating and the most fucked up than me being dumped by a woman. Qi Shugen joked that your wife will have to quarrel with you every day in the future. This is not good. I will definitely pay you back the money right away. Don¡¯t worry about that. Also, don¡¯t be so heartfelt to your friends in the future. They are friends. I That¡¯s why I¡¯m telling you this. Ma Xiaotiao laughed and said, That's why I want a wife who doesn't care about anything. I can handle it. Don't worry about me being noisy when watching the World Cup and European Championships. Don't worry about playing with friends all night. You need to have such friends of the opposite sex. , don¡¯t hesitate to introduce her to your brothers, you don¡¯t need to be too beautiful, just a well-off family is enough. Qi Shugen smiled and said, "I have hidden my beauty in my golden house for a long time. Is it your turn?" Ma Xiaotiao cursed that 60,000 yuan is a loan shark! I'll fall out with you if I lose even a dime!
So Qi Shugen is very concerned about Ma Xiaotiao, a friend who can be called a brother. Women go too far as friends and become nothing more than a blanket. Men become brothers for life. In today's society, women don't have to worry about anything for a day, and they have to be on the right track. They also have to guard against fire, theft, and girlfriends. Men are different. They are tired whether they succeed or not. Qi Shugen and Ma Xiaotiao were playing around, but before they entered the house, Zhao Jiadi came running over. He was very familiar with the Provincial Party Committee compound and there was no shortage of parking spaces. During the summer vacation, Zhao Jiadi came over.To make up for classes, it was inevitable to meet with some provincial party committee bosses who visited the Huang family. Huang Ying's parents had a good impression of Zhao Jiadi and were willing to invite the young student to participate in some private activities. During the period, they also took Zhao Jiadi with them to Tianmu Mountain. After a week, a friend built two houses there, which are great for summer vacation and health preservation. The vegetables and game are all natural. What¡¯s funny is that Zhao Jiadi was frightened when he learned that the house of the young woman Pei¡¯s family in Tianmu Mountain was not far away. This world is really small, unlike Beijing. Once you get to that height, it seems that you will see familiar faces wherever you go. Seeing Qi Shugen, Zhao Jiadi said with a playful smile: "I came in a hurry, I forgot to buy a gift, so I owe you first."
Qi Shugen threatened: "It's okay if you owe me. You have a few acres of tea garden on Meiling North Road. Next year, you will give me two kilograms of tea leaves. I will pick them myself. You can help me and ask the old tea farmers to fry them for me. If you don't agree, don't come in today."
Zhao Jiadi was the first to rush into the house, squinting and said, "Don't think I don't know that you and Ma Xiaotiao are having an affair. It was my red string that I held back that year. Don't be dissatisfied!" Ma Xiaotiao and Qi Shugen said in unison: "Your sister's pussy!" Zhao Jiadi said with a sinister smile, okay, now we share the same hatred and the relationship is really good, when will you get your little book? Ma Xiaotiao rolled his eyes, Qi Shugen held the box helplessly. The three of them entered the room. Zhao Jiadi was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Xin. He immediately looked at Ma Xiaotiao's expression. He couldn't see any sadness or joy, and he was a little relieved. Is Zhang Xin the biggest obstacle to Ma Xiaotiao? Zhao Jiadi was helpless about this. His own emotions were a mess and he really had no say. When Huang Ying saw Zhao Jiadi, she snorted coldly. The sisters immediately thought it was funny and fishy. Yingzi didn't have the temperament of a rich lady, so why was she so worried about this guy? After Qi Shugen cut the birthday cake, he introduced Zhao Jiadi and Ma Xiaotiao when dividing the cake: "I have two bad friends, one is called Zhao Jiadi, the first in Jiangnan, the first in the imperial examination, haha, this time This bastard ranks first in the National Examination, with a score of 170! I joined the National Development and Reform Commission just to follow in his footsteps! This, Ma Xiaotiao, a native of Hangzhou, who calls himself the little white boy in the waves of the Qiantang River, is the same as me. Of course, he is better than me and Jia Everyone must be handsome, sister, sister, just a reminder, if any of you are still single, I recommend you to pursue it. If your life is not perfect or happy in the future, I will be responsible!"
Both the second-generation official PL and the non-PL will smile heartily. Qi Shugen¡¯s words are very lingering. The most obvious thing is that they are both close friends of Mr. Qi. If they can hurt each other, they are basically not ordinary friends. , especially a man like Qi Shugen, who is not familiar with him. Who dares to be polite? In the next election, the slightly conservative Mr. Huang will retire from the *** and become the leader. The vacancy of a prominent position will naturally involve a series of things. Among the personnel transfers, Qi Yongsheng will definitely move to a higher level. This so-called higher level is very appropriate. Mayor Qi is really going to move to the office upstairs. Compared with Li Tan, who is said to be favored by some people in Beijing, Qi Yongsheng is not as low-key as the provincial housekeeper, but he is also pragmatic and acts vigorously and resolutely. Currently, the major matter of West Lake's application as a World Heritage Site is in charge of Mayor Qi. Although he is not the one taking the lead, Everyone knows that Mayor Qi is the one who really does the work. He is responsible for everything in the leading group for the World Heritage application. In June, Paris applied for the World Heritage application and gave a 15-minute speech. It was a great success. It was unanimously approved. The whole Hangzhou cheered. This invisible It also adds to Qi Yongsheng's poor performance. As a local young man from Zhejiang, this man was highly regarded by Xu Zhen, who came from the air. Who was Xu Zhen? The turmoil involving the replacement of the top leader of the China Academy of Art has involved so many heavyweights from the capital. Xu Zhen¡¯s tactics still make people sweat. Several major anti-corruption cases have been dug out by Xu Zhen. How to fill in the hole? Of course, Xu Zhen¡¯s cronies filled in and sat in rows happily eating fruits. So this time, Qi Shugen¡¯s birthday was attended by the second generation of officials. It was a seemingly ordinary gathering, and many young people among them got it. In response to various advice from their parents, two of them even selected their gifts personally.
There are small circles in the circle, one inside the other, one inside the other, complex and vivid. Qi Shugen has no awareness of the friendship between landlords, and only chats with Zhao Jiadi and Ma Xiaotiao. Yingzi is like a hostess, running around, not letting the atmosphere become dull, Three Kingdoms Kill, watching CDs, playing Landlords, etc. The mahjong table was set up, and the girl who came in Zhang Xin's SUV took the initiative to find an excuse to get close to Qi Shugen. Qi Shugen was tepid, but he would definitely take care of his face. Zhao Jiadi was busy filling his stomach at that time, gobbling up. As soon as her sister came, she ate a little more reservedly. Ma Xiaotiao thought for a moment and went to get a cup of hot drink. He took the initiative to walk to the lonely Zhang Xin and handed it to her. She was sitting on a chair in the corner of the balcony reading a book. Xiaotiao smiled and said you didn't bring your boyfriend?
Zhang Xin's eyes were complicated. Ma Xiaotiao leaned against the railing and smoked a cigarette. He said softly: "I just didn't know Qi Shugen lived here. I used to think his parents were ordinary civil servants. You are right. I always know the future." I feel like I'm slow to take a shot. Zhang Xin put the book on his knees, held a hot drink, looked at Ma Xiaotiao's back, took a sip, and said softly, "If I guessed correctly, Zhao Jiadi is the prince of Jinhai Industrial, right?" Ma Xiaotiao nodded. Zhang XinxuanSlowly exhaling, he smiled and said, "You are a fool, but you are a fool." Ma Xiaotiao turned around and smiled. He wanted to say something but couldn't. He and the others in the dormitory often sang "Brothers Sleeping on My Top Bunk". There was a sentence that touched Ma Xiaotiao: He always guesses me wrong. coins in hand.
When it comes to emotional life, it doesn't seem to matter who guessed right or wrong. Ma Xiaotiao is not here to show off his power. He just got along with Zhang Xin briefly as boyfriend and girlfriend last time. He is careful and knows when she will come. I have always kept her period in mind. I was worried that she would have a stomachache just now, so I brought a hot drink over to warm her stomach. Ma Xiaotiao once said to himself that he should bless those he missed. This sentence is not a high-sounding decoration, and Ma Xiaotiao cannot make it up. What's more, Zhang Xin has never sorry for Ma Xiaotiao. He doesn't hate him at all, only some guilt that he may never be able to express to anyone in his life. Ma Xiaotiao's eyes were gentle, and his smoking look was no longer as pretentious as when he was young and frivolous. Besides, he has no craving for cigarettes now. He would never smoke if he could. Just being alone with Zhang Xin face to face, he always felt that if he didn't find something to do, he would be alone. awkward.
Zhang Xin looked up and asked: "Are you still playing games now?"
Ma Xiaotiao smiled and said, "Let's play occasionally."
"Have you passed CET-4 in English?"
"I passed it and applied for CET-6, but I failed. The 35 yuan registration fee was wasted."
¡°Don¡¯t have a girlfriend yet?¡±
"No, I can't just sit back and wait for the silly girl to come to my door, otherwise someone will take a fancy to me."
"That's not what you said."
Ma Xiaotiao grinned.
"Ma Xiaotiao, you have changed a lot."
"You're different, it's even."
"Are you scolding me?"
"No, what am I scolding you for? It's something you only do when you're sick."
Zhang Xin stared at Ma Xiaotiao and said slowly: "You know, after middle school, I always like to look at your QQ signature. You like to change it every few days. I get angry every time I see it. Why study hard?" I want to go to "Ah What" every day after living for 20 years, I have been rejected countless times, and I have been rejected zero times, and I have always been victorious. I always want to rent a temporary girlfriend during the May Day holiday, one day a day, seven days a week. I feel like you never grow up, and you will always be that proud little dude. In fact, you don¡¯t have much money, but you always like to pretend. Later, when we met in Hangzhou, I found that you are much better. All your advantages are still there, and some of your shortcomings are being improved. To be honest, I¡¯m very happy.¡±
Ma Xiaotiao made an unserious face: "Zhang Xin, remind you, your boyfriend can't hear this. Otherwise I will definitely be blacklisted, and you won't be able to see my signature. "
Zhang Xin smiled and said: "Now you don't even write your signature, it's all the same."
Ma Xiaotiao said embarrassedly: "Now I write a diary every day and don't bother to sign on QQ."
Zhang Xin smiled and asked, "Did you scold me secretly?"
Ma Xiaotiao said helplessly: "It's okay."
Zhang Xin seemed to have said something he had been holding in his heart for many years, and his mood improved. He smiled and said, "When are you going to change the car?"
Ma Xiaotiao said calmly: "If I don't change it, I will change it later when I make money."
"Will you help your parents after graduation?"
"Well, take your time. I used to be ignorant and always felt that it was only natural to spend my parents' money. Now I want to share some of it with them. Their business has not been doing well in the past few years. They spend time outside to make people smile, but in fact they don't How to make money, I can¡¯t continue to be ignorant.¡±
Zhang Xin said softly: "Are you tired of being friends with Zhao Jiadi and Qi Shugen?"
Ma Xiaotiao looked confused and said, "Tired?"
Zhang Xin laughed at herself: "I'm overthinking it."
Ma Xiaotiao hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Zhang Xin, no matter whether you think I am talking big words or not, I want to say one thing: you have your principles, which is a good thing. Don't change it for any man. You Just live a good life for yourself. If you really like someone, be willing to sacrifice for him, but you must also be happy first."
Zhang Xin lowered his head and remained silent. After a long time, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Go ahead and chat with your friends."
Ma Xiaotiao put out the cigarette butt and put it in the ashtray. When he walked to the balcony door, he turned around and made a face, saying, "Remember to send me a wedding invitation when you get married. You will definitely make your face look fat and get a big red envelope!"
Zhang Xin smiled and narrowed her eyes, waved her hand and said, "Okay, I got it."
Ma Xiaotiao walked into the room, without turning around, and said softly: "If anyone bullies you in the future, tell Ma Xiaotiao to beat him."
Zhang Xin stayed there, lowering his head, with tears streaming down his face.
