.
He braced himself up and concentrated on his way home again
.
In order to be happy, you are the only one who needs to be straightened out
.
How unfair the world is! It is expected that people can walk on a rotating round planet
.
Fortunately, his wife had a deep sleep
.
He opened the medicine cabinet, took out some medicine and a box of band aids, cleaned himself up as much as he could, and quietly climbed into bed

Then, I had a few more drinks quickly

He thought, he’ll have a few drinks soon, and then go home at eight o’clock

He awoke from suffocation as if he had been tortured on a water stool
.
So he went along with the plan and had a few drinks very quickly, then a few drinks very quickly, and then a few drinks very quickly
.
When he looked at his watch, it was 2:30 a.m
.
His face was a real mess
.
He used superb skills and agility to balance himself and began to set foot on the road home

You’re the only one who needs to clean up.

He got up from the high chair in front of the bar
.
You forget that when you are sick, you are the one who needs medicine; when you are hungry, you are the one who needs food

I haven’t been drinking since then.” She grabbed his shirt and dragged him to the bathroom
.
He said, “why? Why? Is it Sunday? ” She said, “you idiot! Drinking again? ” “Honey, I didn’t
.
Nowadays, people make these hateful keyholes so small! It took him another twenty minutes
