Send the invited information one by one through WeChat, or call directly. For me at that time, my spirit was just planning this party, and my heart was like eating honey, as if facing a major feast of life. I just didn't expect that one or two small things were not handled properly, and kindly asked me to offend two classmates unintentionally.
After sending the invitation to WeChat, most students replied, OK, you must come. Some students politely said, I haven't invited you yet. There is a classmate, Wang, who I think has a deep friendship. After graduation, I went to his house to pay New Year's greetings. I called him directly and told him. He said, come if you have nothing. I have repeatedly stated that it is rare to get together for so many years. If you have anything to push, you must come, or I will swear. Mr. Wang still gave me such a lukewarm answer. Sure enough, this good classmate Wang didn't come because he was busy. I know his family can't live without him, and he must entrust it to his family. Generally speaking, the friendship between classmates will give way. Of course I'm angry. It's a small matter that my classmate Wang doesn't give me face, but it makes me feel that he doesn't regard me as a friend. I value our friendship very much. I lost my affection for him because of this. Then I caught a cold. He is a country doctor and runs his own pharmacy. I told him on WeChat, what medicine should I take? Actually, I don't need to buy medicine. When I have a cold, I feel sick. I want to talk to someone and feel better. But Wang absently joked that there is nothing else in my family, but there is plenty of medicine. He meant as if I wanted to take medicine on purpose, regardless of my own mood, and because I couldn't invite him, I blacked him out in a rage. I haven't contacted again so far.
There is still a female classmate who is absent. She sent a wechat to tell me in advance that she couldn't come because of something at home. Please forgive me. It was the twelfth lunar month and everyone was busy. I see. Besides, all the other students are here.
Because this is my first time to invite so many people to dinner, I have no experience, and I am not very familiar with my hometown and county, so I asked Liu Tongxue to help me prepare for hosting. Like Bao, he is also a teacher at his alma mater. We had an exchange at the invitation of classmate Z last time. I feel that he is a warm and sociable person, and it is no problem for him to help host.
The date and time have been set, and the selected hotel is in Fangfu, where the bridge is built, and the Yaqian River can be seen from the box. That evening, I arrived at the hotel early, and then Liu Tongxue arrived. We approached the hotel to discuss food and buy tobacco, alcohol and drinks in advance. At this time, Bao also arrived. I remembered this invitation, and Bao readily replied with a kind word, and arrived early. This can also reflect the intimacy of the relationship.
When wechat invited j, she said she would come if she had nothing to do. I told you, come if you need anything. If you don't want this "tough" invitation, J students will misunderstand and resist. When chatting with Z on WeChat, she told me to pay attention to my tone and invite people to dinner without using the tone of command. Come or not, let it go. I'm at a loss. I just know that J told Z about my invitation and expressed her feelings.
I'm busy reading the text message, "Come if you need anything." Under the reminder of classmate Z, I watched it by myself, and it really seemed like an order. I also think I'm too blunt. But this is really not my intention. This sentence is expressed in words, without modal particles and punctuation marks. It is really misleading. But in my heart, when I am a good friend, I speak casually, without talent or barriers. Only in front of trusted friends, even relatives, can I speak without scruple. I don't want J students to misunderstand that it is an order. It's really counterproductive. I don't want to think about the reason behind this misunderstanding, but I feel that I am separated from this J classmate by a layer of distance. Of course, J is still very generous.
When the lights were on, in a warm and pleasant atmosphere, more than ten of our classmates got together. I specially ordered two bottles of red wine, especially for female students. As for humble food, I don't think it matters. What matters is our friendship. Let's raise our glasses, smile and propose a toast to the reunion of old classmates. Everyone toasted each other, telling a little bit of the past. In addition to sincere classmates, there are times when you can't go back.
Here, there is another classmate Zha to say. He is one of my close classmates. Come to think of it, we talked the most in the last few days of high school. We all like the same singer Zheng Zhihua. I went to his house to learn to sing Zheng Zhihua's songs with a tape recorder. He kindly called me "Lao Xu" in my guest book. During the lunch break, we rode bicycles to the second-hand bookstall in the county to buy magazines to read. I haven't seen him for years. He has settled in the provincial capital and has a successful career. When I sent him a WeChat invitation, he promised to come back to the county to attend the party. He said, I brought the wine I said, and it doesn't matter whether you bring it or not. The important thing is that you can come back. I didn't take his words to heart.
That day, I ordered wine as usual, and my classmates arrived one after another. It's already dinner time, and everyone's Tan Xing seems to have disappeared. They looked a little impatient and asked me if I could get it back. I said, he said he was on his way back. But we opened the table without waiting for him. The banquet started less than a third of the time. I found a classmate's message saying that I was looking for a parking space downstairs.
I left immediately and went to the elevator door with Liu Tongxue to meet him. Although it is a cold winter, I found my upper body is a shirt, which looks capable and energetic. I asked to sit next to me when I entered the box. I thought it would be better to check, so I invited him naturally. Instead of sitting down, he went to a seat among the students on the upper right and sat down. I don't care either. In retrospect, I was the host and naturally sat next to me. Please check, it is not inappropriate for my classmate to sit next to me. He doesn't sit, which means the position of the next leader, or sitting next to me is not suitable for him. Does this mean that our once friendly relationship has changed?
When the check came, the meeting suddenly became lively. Everyone has their own words, drinking and joking, which is very warm. Finally, let's take a group photo together. There are activities in the hotel, and KTV songs are free. Our party left Fangfu and walked along Yaqian River to KTV on the second floor of covered bridge.
It snowed then. Drunk footsteps step on the snow, making a crisp sound. The north wind can't blow away our enthusiasm. I'm a little drunk. Cha and another classmate in his village didn't follow him to KTV, and it seems that they didn't say goodbye to me. According to other students, they were tired from driving and went home to rest first. There are also classmates J, Z and her best female classmate, who didn't sing either. When the remaining seven or eight students sang a song in the KTV room and left, Paul Liu Tongxue and I finally left the covered bridge.
After the party, some students asked me how much the party cost. I said, class reunion, no money. Some students also asked me why I invited my classmates to a party. I don't think I can explain it to the satisfaction of the other party. I always feel suspicious when I say it's because of friendship. However, this is true! Why do you think I have ulterior motives?
It's the second year in a blink of an eye, probably in summer. A good classmate inadvertently talked about this class reunion I invited. Tao said I don't know the way of the world, so why didn't he bring wine back? In other words, he didn't use his wine, but brought it all the way back and put it in the trunk of the car, brushing his brain. But I, how do I know that the reunion will be unhappy? Why did I think of this?
I think we should wait for him. It was really intentional that he drove back from the provincial capital hundreds of kilometers away. But at that time, I just didn't think it was an important issue. If you can think as much as you do now, explain it clearly to your classmates and get clear opinions, instead of following the crowd, it will be complete. My immaturity was clearly reflected in the party where my classmates were invited, which also made me reflect. Therefore, after this, in recent years, I always want to thank my classmates, because after the reunion, I began to learn to mature slowly.
