(one hundred and three)

The Zimoxuan brothers were invited to the podium

"That winter, you left me. The day after Ling Feng returned to Mudanjiang City, the phone music rang.

Ling Feng looked at the caller ID, which turned out to be a keen phone.

"Fourth brother, do you have time this Thursday?" A sharp voice came over the phone.

"There is time. Ling Feng replied.

"Well, brothers, I'll pick up my brother on Thursday and I'll let you know the location later. Kei finished speaking and hung up.

Within five minutes of Ling Feng putting down the phone, Kei Kei called again and informed him of the address and time of the reception. ”

During the years that Ling Feng stayed in the factory, he made many friends, especially the brothers and sisters in the storage and distribution station. In those unbearable years of factory construction, what Ling Feng never forgot was the scramble when he sat around the simple tables and chairs to eat, and the joyful laughter in his sweat. It's been a long time since they've seen each other, and Ling Feng really misses them a little.

When the day of the party came, Ling Feng, who had nothing to do, arrived at the Zimoxuan Restaurant at the intersection of Dongwutiao Road and Xin'an Street at 5:40 in the evening, which was not far from Jia Yi's house. When Ling Feng left Mudanjiang, he didn't remember that there was a Zimoxuan restaurant here, it must have been newly opened in the year he left.

Standing under the Zimoxuan Restaurant, Ling Feng felt an elegant atmosphere, and saw a couplet hanging on both sides of the gate, the upper couplet was: Du Kang drunk Xinghua Village, cooking delicacies Sai Pengzu. The next link is: Lu Yu tea fragrant willow wind, brewing mellow wine better than Du Kang. When you enter the door, the floor tiles are reflective, and the tables and chairs are shiny. The first floor of Zimo Xuan is all scattered, and you can go up the stairs in front of the door to the second floor to see a private room.

Ling Feng went up to the second floor to find the Keiden Juhuan Pavilion, but found that the private room was empty, and it turned out that he was the first to arrive. Browsing the interior decoration of the store in boredom, the poems on the wall attracted Ling Feng.

"The beautiful scenery of Yaotai is rarely asked, and Mo Xuan's love is strong at night. Ling Feng Mo Nian, savoring it.

Yaotai and Ye Weiyang, Ling Feng has seen in ancient poems, the word Moxuan is like a person's name and a store name, it seems that these two sentences should be written by today's poetry lovers. Not to mention, there is still a little bit of charm.

"Sir, I would like to ask, how many of us are there tonight?" A slightly rugged female voice sounded behind her.

"About a dozen. Ling Feng turned around and agreed.

"Sir, if we have a beer, I recommend this to you. The woman who spoke was dressed in a red jacket and held a wine bottle-shaped advertisement.

"Wait a minute, I'll look for you when we're all there. Ling Feng rejected the recommendation of the woman in the red jacket.

"Alright, I'll come back later. The woman in the red jacket smiled and turned to leave, her somewhat bewitching eyes looking up and down at Ling Feng several times before leaving.

As soon as the woman in the red jacket went out on her front feet, Shubo, who was short and sturdy on her back feet, walked in.

"Fourth brother, you want to kill my brother. "Shubo's voice is still so loud.

"I miss you too!" Ling Feng hugged Shubo with open arms.

Among the brothers in the storage and distribution station, Shubo has a straightforward personality, and he was more diligent in walking around with Ling Feng back then. Ling Feng looked at this brother with some sadness in his heart.

Shubo was younger among the brothers in the storage and distribution station, and his fate was tortuous: in the factory basketball game, he was the main player and broke his arm in the active scramble; he went out drinking with his colleagues in winter and was stabbed nine times in a quarrel with the mouth on the way home; he was burned to the hospital during the pipe network maintenance operation; he finally married a wife and had children, but was kicked by his daughter-in-law because of the poor efficiency of the unit.

"Fourth brother, in the year you have been gone, the brothers in the family have changed a lot. As soon as Shubo sat down, he opened the conversation.

"How did it change? Is it a promotion or a fortune? Ling Feng laughed a little.

"The boss collided with a car on a motorcycle, and the old pimple came back from divorce. Shubo's face was serious.

"The matter of the old pimple, Yulin told me, the matter of the boss, Yulin didn't say, how is the situation of the boss?" Ling Feng also put away his smile.

"Yulin doesn't know about the boss, I went to see the boss, he became a vegetative person, and his sister-in-law took the children back to her parents' house. A sad look appeared on Shubo's face.

Ling Feng knew that Shubo had always had a good relationship with the boss, and the two of them were in the same class during factory training, and they were both good at playing basketball. Now that the boss has an accident, Shubo should be the saddest one.

Ling Feng was about to say a few words of comfort to Shubo when a few more brothers came in from outside the door.

"Fourth brother, second brother is ordering food downstairs, ask what you like to eat. Kei said as he pulled up Ling Feng and walked out.

Ling Feng couldn't shirk it, and followed downstairs. When the food was ordered, the brothers and sisters were almost there.

"Fourth brother, I heard that you did well in Shenzhen this year, why did you come back? Jihyun, who was the second in line, asked Ling Feng.

"Second brother, I won't leave when I come back this time, you also know what I left for at the beginning of the year, and besides, my daughter-in-law and son are at home, so I can't always live apart from each other?" Ling Feng roughly said what he thought.

As soon as Zhixian and Ling Feng chatted for a few words, Shubo stood up and motioned for the brothers and sisters to be quiet.

"Our brothers are here today, and I have something I want to discuss with my brothers and sisters. Shubo began to speak to the crowd.

"There is something to say. "Ji-hyun, who is the second in line, is the oldest, and his words still carry weight.

"You see, there were twelve brothers and sisters in the beginning, but now the eldest is lying on the bed, and the eleventh brother is missing, should we rearrange it. "The book is fast, and the people are fast.

"The tenth brother means that if the eldest wakes up, after the eleventh brother finds it, we should recognize it, but at this stage, our ten brothers and sisters should be rearranged. The keen meaning was clear, and it was clear that he had discussed it privately with Shubo.

"Okay, that's the best, so you don't have to call me second brother, I think it's weird. Jihyun agreed first.

"Let me reintroduce the current third brother who has returned from Shenzhen: eldest brother, the big director of Mudanjiang Liquor Factory; second brother, safety supervisor of Mudanjiang Gas Company; fourth brother, who has not yet arrived, is our eldest brother's senior staff; fifth brother, director of the computer maintenance department of Mudanjiang Hongqi Hospital; sixth sister, director of the knitting department of Mudanjiang Department Store; seventh brother, director of the headquarters of Mudanjiang Zhongyuan Co., Ltd. in Beijing, who cannot be present today; ninth brother, director of the pipeline maintenance department of Mudanjiang Pipeline Engineering Company; old pimple, financial director of Mudanjiang Wanrui Property Management Company。 "Tell me a little bit about it.

"It's worthy of starling! When it comes to starling's mouth, we have all become supervisors. Xiuying was the first to answer amid the laughter of her brothers.

"Third brother, let me introduce you to the real supervisor, this starling is the head of the human resources department of Mudanjiang Zhongyuan Co., Ltd. "The book is solemnly introduced.

In fact, after Ling Feng left the gas company, he was still very concerned about the original unit, knowing that the gas company leased the coke oven to a central enterprise under the condition of insolvency, and the gas company separated and established a gas company to purchase the gas produced by the coke oven and supply it to users in Mudanjiang City, while the pipeline engineering company was a subordinate company of the gas company. After leasing the coke ovens, the central enterprise established a Zhongyuan limited liability company, which is a third-level subsidiary of the central enterprise.

While Kei Kei and Shubo introduced each other, the dishes were served in turn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we want to taste this beer at the end of the year. The woman in the red jacket came again to recommend wine.

"What kind of prize? It can't be a bottle driver or something, right?" Keen to know the doorway.

"How could it be, one case of our beer has a chance to draw a lottery, the first prize is ten cases of this beer, the second prize is five tickets to the Youth Years Interpretation Bar, and the third prize is a 20% discount coupon for the 21st Century Music City. "The woman in the red jacket is quite articulate.

"Let's drink Huahe, and drink the hometown bar when I go back to my hometown. "Ling Feng knows that cheap is not so easy to take advantage of.

"Let's take two boxes, Sister Ying and I will smoke them once to see who has good luck. Xiuying was interested.

"The award is very special, listen to the old pimple, come to two boxes. Jihyun made the final decision.

The woman in the red jacket happily took out three mahjong dice from her pocket and handed them to Xiuying.

"The first prize for the leopard, the second prize for the straight, nothing is the third prize. The woman in the red jacket explains the rules of the awards.

Xiuying grabbed the dice, clenched her fist and blew into her fist, shouting "go", and the three dice slipped on the table and turned a few times, it was actually three, four, five.

The brothers cheered, Rui Ying felt the pressure doubled, grabbed the dice and put her palms together, bowed her head and prayed silently, and gave a point to the table with both palms, shouting "leopard, leopard" in her mouth. Three dice bounce and land on the table, stabilizing to show one, two, three.

"Congratulations to all of you for winning two second prizes. The woman in the red jacket said as she handed Xiuying a stack of tickets.

"Beauty, how long is the validity period of our tickets?" Xiuying took the ticket and asked about related matters.

"The deadline is one year, and we are waiting for all the guests to come to the Youth Interpretation Bar at any time, and I wish you all a happy meal. The woman in the red jacket exited the private room as she spoke, and glanced at Ling Feng again before going out.

"Scholarly and keen, fill the wine for everyone, let's drink it first, Gao Shen will arrive later." Jihyun gave orders to the brothers.

The wine is full, the dishes are all ready, and Jihyun opens first.

"Today, for the Lingfeng brothers who have returned from afar, they will pick up the wind and wash the dust. Jihyun said and raised his glass.

"Cheers, cheers. Everyone raised their glasses in response.

"Good things come in pairs, toast to our relationship for so many years. Jihyun took another initiative.

Looking at Zhixian, the eldest brother, Ling Feng expressed deep respect, it was he who never forgot the brotherhood and resounded the rallying call, and he often invited guests to dinner, so that the brotherhood of the year could be renewed.

Drinking with all the brothers and sisters, Ling Feng is very open, even to Rui Ying, he can face it calmly, the secret that once confessed and rejected only the two of them, and they will not say anything to each other, it is regarded as an unhindered episode in youth.

"Brothers, I'm sorry, my brother is late. "After three rounds of wine and five rounds of food, Jiayi also arrived.

"Gao Shen, it's just the right time, hurry up and sit down. Jihyun was polite and polite.

Ling Feng knew that Jiayi had been working as a tutor since he came out of the unit, and after he got married, he opened a door on the balcony on the first floor of his house to make room for tutoring students, while Jixian's son was in junior high school and tutored at Jiayi's place on Saturdays and Sundays.

"Fourth brother, you're a busy man, don't just patronize to make money, but always think about the friendship between our buddies!"

"What my brother said is that if you are late, you will be punished with three cups. Jia Yi said habitually holding his glasses.

"I'll accompany you for the first cup, thank you for your careful cultivation of my son, and I've made a lot of progress recently. Jihyun said and had a drink with Jiayi.

"I'll also come to have a drink, you don't charge for cultivating the eldest brother's son-in-law, it's interesting enough, I sincerely admire it. Keen accompanied him to a second drink.

"Fourth brother, my brother didn't mean anything else when he said just now, I'll accompany this third cup, and I'll give it to you when my son goes to junior high school." After Shubo finished speaking, he took the lead in drinking the wine in the glass.

"Brother, no problem, but I don't understand one thing, why do you call me the fourth brother, didn't your fourth brother just come back?" Jia Yi lifted his glasses again, and the master was full of style.

"Drink the wine first, and then I'll tell you the truth. "Rui Ying is thoughtful.

Jiayi drank the wine again, and listened to the reason why the fifth brother became the fourth brother while picking up vegetables. After listening to and understanding, Jia Yi began to complain about his hardships again, indicating that there are difficulties in teaching and helplessness in class.

After Ling Feng came back from Qiqihar, he went to Jiayi to work part-time, knowing that Jiayi's work and rest were in conflict with office workers, and today Zhixian put the reception wine in Zimoxuan, and it was set at six o'clock in the evening, and Jiayi was also considered.

"Third brother, are you still going to leave when you come back from Shenzhen?" Jia Yi raised his glass and asked Ling Feng.

"I'm not going back, I'm not used to it over there. Ling Feng raised his glass and returned the salute.

"Then when you come back this time, are you planning to go back to work?" Jia Yi sounded.

At the mention of work, Ling Feng sighed bitterly. After Ling Feng and Yajun got married, the capable eldest brother-in-law of Yajun's family began to work for Ling Feng, because Ling Feng had a "Reserve Talent Certificate" issued by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and the eldest brother-in-law used this as an excuse to put Ling Feng into Yajun's unit, and he brought it in. In the words of the eldest brother-in-law, "If you want to enter, we will bring it in, or we will not enter." ”

At that time, Ling Feng thought to himself, "Brother-in-law, this is a full man, I don't know that a hungry man is hungry, why do you have to bring in the editor once? For this reason, Ling Feng mentioned his thoughts to Yajun, but Yajun did not convey his meaning to his eldest brother-in-law. The eldest brother-in-law tried hard, but in the end he couldn't do it. In order to save some face, the eldest brother-in-law asked someone to let Ling Feng enter a small factory, and Ling Feng had been suspended without pay before going to Shenzhen, so there was no same.

"So what are you going to do, do you have a direction?" Jia Yi asked.

"Not yet, let's talk about it after the New Year. Ling Feng replied casually.

"In that case, it's a holiday soon, you come to me to help me first, and then leave when you have a place to go. Jia Yi extended an invitation to Ling Feng.

"That's good! Ling Feng was happy in his heart.

"Hey, hey, third brother and fourth brother, you two are chattering, and the wine is cold. Xiuying persuaded the wine in a fancy way.

"Yes, the old pimple is right, the wine is cold. "Let's talk after drinking. ” “……”

The wine gradually reached ** in the laughter of the brothers.
