The first day of the silent ending, the old friend shouted in the group to have a meal together.
Several people in the group are all "mao root friends" who grew up together. When I was young, I asked me to have beer and barbecue, and I could get together in one hour. Now that people are middle-aged, they have to shout at least three days or even a week in advance for a meal. Even if I agree, there are still people who can't come because of all kinds of trivial matters such as boss calling for overtime or having fun classes.
Everyone did not complain about this in a tacit way. After all, no one knows whether they will "have something temporary" next time.
The finalization of the dinner time of the middle-aged man is as stalemate as the war situation between Russia and Ukraine, and he is not as refreshing as he sees it. You have a dinner party on Friday, I have to take my baby to interest classes on Thursday, and he has to go on a business trip outside on Wednesday. Moved from a weekend party to a Tuesday dinner, and from a Monday dinner to a midnight snack after 9 o'clock, so time was difficult to settle.
The place to eat is easy to order, and most of the time you choose a place where everyone is in the center. After dinner time and time again, middle-aged men have already learned to give in to irrelevant places.
What to eat, the battle situation once again became stalemate.
Lao Zhang said that he hadn't had a hot pot for a long time and wanted to get some oil and water. Lao Li said that he had severe fatty liver a few days ago, and it was still a light and a pot of . Lao Chen said that we should eat Sichuan cuisine, and we can drink two cups. Lao Wang said that he hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time. Back then, our grandfathers could eat it until the boss refunded the money and told others not to recall it.
After discussing, every time a few will be obedient to the majority. After all, everyone is going to get together. It is rare to have an excuse not to take care of the dolls at home. It is rare to breathe a sigh of relief alone, and it is rare to have a close friend formation with your brothers.
High roots are naturally not so particular about eating between friends. Those who want to drink can drink, and those who don’t drink can be arranged at most a few sentences. After a few rounds of dishes, the highlight of today's dinner came: Dinner Formation.
Lao Zhang sighed that after a person reaches middle age, there will always be some inexplicable persistence and stubbornness. The most valuable persistence is the face of middle-aged people. But even if the face is hurting, he must grit his teeth and hold on, because he knows that if he doesn't persist this time, he will not persist again in the future.
It feels very comfortable to lie flat, but you can't support your family.
Lao Zhang said that a few days ago, he saw a young man in the company driving a BMW 3 Series. He felt envious. He turned around and saw that he had driven an Baojun that had been more than 100,000 kilometers. He clenched his teeth, "Oh! This shrimp actually drove an BMW ! It must have been bought in installments."
Lao Chen and Lao Zhang touched the wine glass and said, "The world of adults is afraid of being idle. This principle means that after work with Japanese men, they never go home early, even if they drink some wine outside and blow the cow all night. After all, going home early means not having social engagements, and not having social engagements means not being able to do so.
Adults are used to sticking the label "busy" on their bodies. Once they don't do things for a long time, their spirit will slowly be worn away. So sometimes friends have to open their phone schedule when making an appointment for dinner and say, "I'll check out the plan. I might have to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow. I'll try to come here at night."
In fact, after hanging up the phone, I'm still hesitating to get the order for orders of 16 after ordering takeout. After looking at the balance in the bank account, my only idea was whether to go to takeout to subsidize the household expenses at night.
Old Li sighed and said, face in the adult world is aura and table, a car, house and money, and the opinions of people around him, but what you think does not matter. Adults don't live for themselves.
The face of adults is that when you take your friends to a familiar restaurant for dinner, the boss comes out to greet you warmly, not only to scatter cigarettes and toast them, but also to give away food and discounts. When you go to buy clothes, the waiter skillfully said your size and gave you a small gift before leaving.When you go to have tea, the boss takes out your special tea set and gives you two taels of new tea before leaving.
A few words of worthless "brother" and a few small gifts for trial will make the adults with good face willingly take out the money.
Speaking of this, the owner of the store came to toast. She was wearing a dress that showed off her figure and posed for a few more words with Lao Li. As a result, he ran to apply for a recharge card again.
Filled with wine and the conversation was in full swing, and the dinner for the middle-aged man was coming to an end. Lao Zhang suggested finding a place to have a tea and sober up. Lao Li called the driver and the driver had arrived. Lao Wang was calling for another gathering on National Day. Old Chen's wife had already called.
Several friends gather from time to time, and they long for this dinner. No matter the losers and winners in life or the onlookers on the table, they all found what they needed in this dinner.
