Chapter 5: Drunkenness

Liu Hao wiped away his tears and shouted with red eyes, "Wang Gang, for the sake of your face, you are silent when you need us, and you plan to carry it by yourself, and when you don't need us, you pretend to care about us, we are not rare." Du Sheng sat stiffly on the side, although he was also a little moved by these words in his heart, and wanted to ease the fierce atmosphere, but this was not something he could interfere with, and he rashly opened his mouth to make the atmosphere even more stiff. Just when he was secretly anxious, Liu Hao's wife came over with a plate of peanuts and two cold dishes, and said to Liu Hao, "Liu Hao will talk well, what you roar, the whole community can hear your voice," while arranging the plate, he said, "You make do with it first, and I'll make a few hot dishes." Then, he said to Du Shengsheng, "Xiao Du, please trouble you, bring over the wine over there", said, and gave Du Shengsheng a look.

Du Shengsheng secretly felt that Wang Gang's previous praise of her was really worthy of the name, and he nodded and replied clearly, "Sister-in-law, don't trouble, don't trouble." Du Shengsheng moved the wine over, opened it easily, filled it for the two elder brothers first, and persuaded while pouring the wine, "Brother Hao, don't be angry, drink first, Brother Wang too, come, let's drink one first", Liu Hao picked up the cup and put it in a sip, and Wang Gang also did it. Du Shengsheng hurriedly filled the two of them, Wang Gang picked it up and signaled to Liu Hao, and did it again, Liu Hao followed and did it, and Du Shengsheng continued to be full. But after two glasses of wine, the atmosphere eased up, and the problems between men, what can't be solved by a glass of wine, if there is no hatred or resentment, and a glass of wine can't be solved, then until the other party is down.

Liu Hao slipped through the chopsticks to suppress the wine, and suddenly said coldly, "Old squad leader, let's do it with me", Wang Gang heard Liu Hao's words, paused, neither agreed, but also did not refuse, just lowered his head again, and took a glass of wine, but Liu Hao secretly smiled. Liu Hao didn't mention the previous incident again, and instead talked about the recent situation of other comrades-in-arms, Wang Gang also echoed and said a few words from time to time, and the room was not mixed with the tense atmosphere just now, Du Shengsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and began to quietly listen to the troubles they began to blow up to each other when they were soldiers. When Liu Hao's wife came over with a hot dish, she secretly gave Du Shengsheng a thumbs up, and the two then smiled at each other tacitly.

The more I drank the wine, the less I ate the food, but the atmosphere became better. In the end, when the cups and plates on the table were in a mess, Liu Hao was already lying on the table, there was no movement, and Lao Wang sat staggeringly. Liu Hao's wife, who had been paying attention to the movement outside, came over, looking at Liu Hao with a helpless face, she could only ask Du Shengsheng to help Liu Hao into the bedroom and help Liu Hao adjust her sleeping position, she said to Du Shengsheng, "Don't go back today, it's not safe to go back on the way back after drinking a lot, you help Brother Wang to sleep in the opposite guest room, there is a separate bathroom inside, and I have prepared all the toiletries for you, go ahead." Du Shengsheng responded cheekily, helped Wang Gang into the guest room, and helped him lie down on the bed, Du Shengsheng entered the bathroom, took a towel, and helped Wang Gang wipe his face indiscriminately, and then rinsed himself and lay down on the bed.

After washing, he woke up a little more, and seeing that Wang Gang didn't seem to be asleep, he asked, "Brother Wang, why did you refuse to work with Brother Hao in the first place?" Wang Gang replied in a daze, "At that time, I thought that it was good to live a plain life, the key is your sister-in-law, my wife was worried that one day I would break the law and be arrested, the whole family was counting on me, I also felt that the country did not recognize this gray profession, I had been educated in the army for so many years, and I didn't want to do this business......" The more he spoke, the softer he became, and gradually he couldn't hear clearly, and Du Shengsheng knew that he was asleep. I wanted to know more about things, but I didn't expect Lao Wang to fall asleep so quickly, he also drank a lot today, and the strength of the wine gradually came up, and the sleepiness slowly hit, and he slowly closed his eyes.

On the eighth day of January, it was a new day, Du Shengsheng woke up without the slightest joy, a new day for normal people has new challenges and hopes, and for Du Shengsheng, he only felt that the rope of death around his neck was tightened again. Hearing a faint sound outside the room, Du Shengsheng got up neatly, opened the door and went out, and saw Liu Hao's wife cleaning up the mess left yesterday, he just wanted to go over to help, Liu Hao's wife saw him coming, and said with a smile, "Don't help, you go and wash up, after washing, call your brother Wang and Brother Hao to eat breakfast, I have already made breakfast." Du Shengsheng stopped in a daze, and had to say, "Sister-in-law, hard work", after speaking, he went back to the room to wash and ask people to get up.

Ten minutes later, the three gathered at the table for a hearty breakfast. After eating breakfast, Liu Hao beckoned the two to follow him to the place where he worked on the first floor. On the first floor, Liu Hao led them to a tour, introduced very carefully, a conference room was plastered with the commissioned materials they were tracking and investigating, a lounge was where they usually rested temporarily, and a lot of fitness facilities were also placed in it, a data room was the commission they had completed before, and the data stored was sorted out, a utility room was piled with sundries, and finally led them to the equipment room, which was filled with various equipment and instruments and even electronic parts. When Liu Hao led them in, a young man was busy inside, and the young man saw them come in and called out to the master, Liu Hao introduced that this was his distant relative named Yang Ming, who was also his apprentice and partner.

"Don't look at him for talking too little, he is a genius in electronics and mechanics, except for the camera, photocopier, etc., everything else is made by himself" Liu Hao proudly showed off. Yang Ming heard Liu Hao's showmanship, and smiled shyly at them, Liu Hao beckoned him over and introduced the names and identities of the two, Yang Ming smiled and nodded to them, it seems that there are very few true words, Du Shengsheng thought privately.

After the introduction, Liu Hao turned around and asked Du Shengsheng, "By the way, Xiao Du, you are a college student, what major did you study in college?", "I studied electronic information technology" Du Shengsheng was stunned for a moment, and then replied. Liu Hao nodded, "We just lack talents in this area, you will be our information support in the future, by the way, Xiaoyang and Xiaodu, you are both young people, you should have a lot of common topics, and you will communicate more in the future." "Got it, Brother Hao", Du Shengsheng replied, and Yang Ming also nodded, indicating that he understood. "Then you come with me, Xiaoyang, you come too, let's go to the conference room", after speaking, he turned around and walked towards the conference room.
