Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 82

[Chapter 82]

That was Tao Huainan’s first drink since graduating from high school. He used to think he was a little alcoholic, but he thought he was quite a lot, but now he found out that it was nothing more than that.

Almost all the boys present that day were drunk, and only a few were still sober.

Even Pan Xiaozhuo was drunk, and no one persuaded him to drink at all. He himself drank several glasses without knowing when. He and Tao Huainan were lying face to face at the table, Tao Huainan resting his face on his arm, his eyes were a little blank.

Pan Xiaozhuo’s eyes fluttered, and his face was flushed. The glasses were stuck crooked, so I took them off.

Tao Huainan’s mouth was slightly open and pouted, like a little chicken. He tucked a thin crab claw between his fingers, tapped it lightly on the table, and muttered “Xiao Zhuo”.

Pan Xiaozhuo drank and took off his glasses. He couldn’t see anything clearly. He answered vaguely, “Huh?”

Tao Huainan said, “I miss my little brother.”

Pan Xiaozhuo said, “I know.”

“He has a partner. Tao Huainan rubbed his face on his arm, his mouth still like a chicken, “Then he can be happier.”

“No,” Pan Xiaozhuo said in a daze, “you little brother has a bad temper.” Okay, girls don’t like it.”

“You are talking nonsense…” Tao Huainan tapped the tip of the crab’s claw on the table again, and retorted, “He has no bad temper.”

Pan Xiaozhuo said “oh”, Tao Huainan said again : “And my little brother is very handsome.”

Pan Xiaozhuo pouted: “It’s like you’ve seen it before.”

Tao Huainan also pouted and turned around, not happy to talk to him. When he turned around, no one talked to him, and the person next to him went out to call, and Ji Nan didn’t know who to gossip with again. Tao Huainan felt lonely and turned back.

“Do you regret it?” Pan Xiaozhuo touched his arm, “I guess you regret it.”

Tao Huainan was silent for a long time. It was like falling asleep. Pan Xiaozhuo had already taken a nap with his eyes closed. Tao Huainan said, “I don’t regret it when I look back with the results. It doesn’t make any sense.”

“Then don’t think about it. Now,” Pan Xiaozhuo hiccupped and said to Tao Huainan, “it really doesn’t make any sense.”

Tao Huainan said “um” and the topic ended again.

Pan Xiaozhuo had never been in a relationship, but after drinking, the boys chatted about their relationship, and he sighed along with him, looking very sad.

Tao Huainan asked him, “What do you have to sigh about, you haven’t talked about it.”

Pan Xiaozhuo approached mysteriously, and the two of them almost posted, Pan Xiaozhuo said, “Who can’t have a little secret.”

“What secret? Who do you like?” Tao Huainan sat up and asked him in surprise.

Pan Xiaozhuo said “Shh”: “I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

Shi Kai sent them both home, Tao Huainan got out of the car and clicked on the ground with his blind stick. sound. Shi Kai got out of the car to see him off, and asked the driver and Pan Xiaozhuo to wait in the car.

Tao Huainan waved his hand and said, “I can go back by myself, brother Kai.”

“Hurry up, I’ll throw you.” Shi Kai squeezed his elbow and carried him home.

Brother is on a business trip again, and Brother Tang is still working overtime. Tao Huainan led the way and used his finger to unlock it. Sweaty hands, no way to get rid of it.

“Password?” Shi Kai asked.

Tao Huainan said, “826826.” The

door opened, and Shi Kai took Tao Huainan into the room and asked, “Can you do it at home?”

“Okay, thank you Kai.” Tao Huainan leaned his blind stick beside the door. He walked over and sat on the sofa, sitting upright and honest.

Shi Kai couldn’t help laughing a little when he saw his serious sitting posture, squatted beside him and asked, “Xiao Huainan, do you miss your little brother?”

After drinking too much alcohol, he couldn’t hide any lies, and his mind was stubborn. He nodded neatly and said sincerely: “I miss him every day…”

Shi Kai said with a smile: “It’s useless to think, yes Right ? ” “It’s

useless.” Tao Huainan nodded again and asked him, “Is my little brother happier?”

“Then I don’t know,” Shi Kai stroked his head, “Brother Kai can’t tell. ”

Shi Kai later left, Tao Huainan washed his face and brushed his teeth, but didn’t take a bath, for fear that he would lose his footing and fall. A man changed into his pajamas and went into the room, burying his face in the pillow.

There is a recording on the phone, which Tao Huainan has listened to hundreds of times in the past few years.

Every time I can’t sleep, I turn it out and listen to it over and over again. That recording broke Tao Huainan’s heart every time he listened to it, but he couldn’t stop as if he was abusing himself.

He put the phone between his ear and the pillow, and the recording played over and over again for half the night.

Getting drunk this time made Tao Huainan know that he was not so good at drinking before, and it would be uncomfortable to drink too much.

He didn’t drink for a long time after that. Jiang Ji and the others also drank occasionally. Tao Huainan shied away on the grounds that he couldn’t drink.

Jiang Ji likes to roar and sing after drinking, Tao Huainan likes to listen to him sing like this, so every time he actively helps to persuade him to drink. Once, a group of good people who usually only knew “forget it” made Jiang Ji anxious, and no one escaped with a glass of wine. Tao Huainan shook his head and said he couldn’t drink, but Jiang Ji stood next to him and yelled at him, “Drink!

” .

This winter there is less snow and it is not so cold.

Next year’s spring came very late. When the spring didn’t come, Tao Huainan wore a hooded sweater under his jacket every day and prepared for the retest with Pan Xiaozhuo. Xiao Zhuo drank too much last time and told him the little secret he told him the next day, but he wouldn’t admit it when he sobered up.

The two boys have been studying in earnest for a year, and this year they both got their wish to go to graduate school.

Tao Huainan was not able to go to medical school, but the school moved up a notch and entered 985 from an ordinary school. He still often goes to Dr. Qi’s hospital, and he is very familiar with everyone in the hospital. They call him “Xiao Tao”.

Some counselors who need to be listened to will also be named as long as they are. Xiao Tao has begun to make a little money, and seems to have more value. In other people’s irritable or depressed lives, let them relax for an hour for a short time.

Tao Huainan heard many secrets from many people, and he acted as a secret box for others. Those ugly, unknown distortions and darkness that have been accumulated in people’s hearts, or those who are unspeakable and embarrassed, are shared by those who listen to them.

This year, Brother Tang moved the time ahead for the rest, saying that he would be able to do medical aid with Tao Xiaodong in the fall.

Director Tang is so busy that he has not participated in the medical assistance for the past two years. Xiaodong goes with other doctors every year, and he comes back and tells Brother Tang that he is tired.

Xiaodong became less and less ashamed. Of course, Brother Tang was not much better.

The two brothers are not ashamed. Almost every morning when Tao Huainan wakes up, they can hear the two brothers struggling to get out of bed in that room.

Tao Huainan asked, “Can I go too?”

“Of course,” Tang Suoyan put the porridge bowl by his hand, “you can go together if you don’t have class.”

“It’s still summer vacation then,” Tao Huainan said. After counting the time, he said, “Take me with you, brothers.”

This medical aid is a big project, not only for the ophthalmology department, but also for the cardiology department of the Third Hospital. Medical staff and doctors came a lot, and they traveled to three remote provinces in total. Tao Xiaodong is still an investor, and his investment is mainly focused on ophthalmic medical equipment. I heard that there is another group of public welfare investors this time, which is to popularize technological products for the blind.

Everyone in the hospital knew that Director Tang and Tao were always a couple, and it was no secret in the hospital for a long time.

Those who are familiar also know that Mr. Tao has two excellent younger brothers, Mr. Tao often talks about it.

Tao Huainan’s research is over, and he has set aside time in advance, waiting to go out with his brother. My brother insisted on doing this for a long time. Brother Tang said that what they were doing was not great but very meaningful.

When he came out with his brother for the first time, Tao Huainan needed to be held by his brother at all times, because his brother didn’t hold his hand, or he failed to remind him in time when there was an obstacle, so he was injured.

This time, Tao Huainan doesn’t need to be led by others. Now he can walk very clearly with a schoolbag on his back. He occasionally stumbles, but he rarely falls.

He was in a commercial van with his brothers, and he sat in the last row by himself. There were only five people in the car including him. Besides the driver and two older brothers, there was also another director of the Third Hospital.

Tao Huainan was wearing headphones and his face was facing the direction of the car window.

Tang Suoyan and Tao Xiaodong were sitting in the middle row, Tao Xiaodong looked back at his brother.

“Sleep for a while,” Tang Suoyan told him, “wake up early in the morning.”

Tao Xiaodong asked with a smile, “Are you sleepy?”

“Why am I sleepy?” Tang Suoyan whispered, “I was I don’t take naps either.”

Tao Huainan could hear the two of them through the earphones, but he couldn’t hear them clearly, but he felt very comfortable.

“Why are you squinting and smiling?” Tao Xiaodong asked him back.

Tao Huainan tore off one earphone: “Huh?”

“What are you laughing at?”

“Laughing at you two.” Tao Huainan scratched his finger on his face, indicating that they were not shy.

“Laugh.” Tao Xiaodong turned around and said something, but Tao Huainan didn’t understand.

The rear of the car is a bit hot, the air conditioner in the front can’t get through, and the air conditioner in the back seems to be broken. Tao Huainan sat a little hot in the back row, sweating on his forehead.

It was still very dry in late summer and early autumn. Tao Huainan took out his water glass from his schoolbag, drank water for a while, and asked the two older brothers in front, “Are you thirsty?”

Tao Xiaodong reached out and took a sip from his glass.

The car stopped at the expressway for a while, which reminded Tao Huainan of the experience when the car broke down on the road with his brother when he went to the hospital with his brother. It was hotter than now.

Tao Huainan asked, “What’s wrong?”

My brother turned around and said to him, “Wait a minute, the team is driving too fast.”

Tao Huainan nodded to show that he understood, and got out of the car with a water cup. Sitting in the car for a long time is a bit boring, and I want to get out of the car for a spin.

There is a lot of grass here, Tao Huainan can distinguish a little grass smell from the air, with a faint fishy smell, but it is not unpleasant. He wore headphones again, and in the headphones was Jiang Ji’s newly recorded song.

In the song, he shouted the repeated lyrics over and over again in a hoarse voice, and Tao Huainan was addicted to listening to the end sound of each sentence.

Through the earphones, he heard his brother calling him back.

Tao Huainan agreed loudly, turned around and walked back.

“I know to go when I’m bored. I’ll throw it here for you later and forget whether you’re covered or not.” Tao Xiaodong said from the side of the car.

“What’s wrong with me, I won’t call you?” Tao Huainan patted his trousers pocket, “Besides, you can’t leave my brother Tang.”

Tao Huainan leaned on the door and got into the car, returning to him just now. rear position.

Tao Huainan is wearing a white short-sleeved shirt today, which is simple and only has a small logo on the chest. Most of his clothes are such basics, simple T-shirts and slacks, no matter how he touches them in the morning, he can’t go wrong.

In the past few years, Tao Xiaodong bought him clothes according to this standard, because the two brothers were often busy and could not watch him go out every morning in the morning.

White short-sleeved beige shorts, thin and white handsome big boy, always looks fresh and clean.

Tao Huainan has been wearing headphones, and the sultry air makes him a little drowsy. There are several shallow bruises and visible scars on the exposed calf, all of which have been bumped from walking over the years.

Tao Huainan just opened his mouth to yawn when he heard the car door being opened and someone got in the car.

Tang Suoyan said, “Come on.”

Tao Xiaodong laughed, Tao Huainan didn’t hear him, only someone called “brother” with a little smile.

Tao Huainan didn’t finish yawning, his mouth was open and stopped in a strange and embarrassed state. For a while, the yawn was not finished, and it was embarrassing to take it back.
