Chapter 24: Friends

Xiang Yu happily took out 10 large red bills from the ATM, took the money and counted them in front of the ATM machine as usual. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the last life, I saw too many news about ATMs taking out problematic banknotes, so that no matter how much he withdrew, he had to count them again and pass them. First, the quantity is determined clearly, and second, let's see if there is any fake.

1,000 yuan is not much, but at this moment, Xiang Yu has an irrepressible joy, and he feels that he has a surplus of food at home.

Carefully packed the money, Xiang Yu hummed an unknown tune in his mouth, happy like a child who was praised and got candy.

Longwei Road, near the section of Taixing Road, is the most famous bar street in Windy City. Many bars have been open on this street for many years, and by this time most of the bars have been lit up.

When approaching a bar called Gray Eagle, Xiang Yu slowed down.

Models of two large eagles hang high on the left and right sides of the entrance to the Grey Eagle Bar. I don't know if it's made of wood or what, it's rough but very spiritual, and it does have the taste of a real eagle. It's an old shop that has been open for a few years now, and it's still open more than 10 years later.

Xiang Yu has never been in, and the last time he lived to be 30 years old, he still went to the bar only a handful of times. He deliberately slowed down just to make himself look normal, after all, walking too happily can attract attention.

Yet he still attracted attention.

There were 4.5 young men gathered at the door of the bar, who looked to be about the same age as Xiang Yu. One of them looked at Xiang Yu who was passing by several times, and then shouted: "Xiang Yu! ”。 The tone was firm, and the voice was full of surprise.

Several people looked at Xiang Yu together, and Xiang Yu also turned his head and looked at the few people under the light. He actually knew two of the five people. One is calling him, his name is Li Ziquan, he was a classmate when he was a child in the village, and the two families lived very close. The other one is the last time I lived, when I met at work, and my name Xiang Yu has forgotten. I don't know it yet. The reason why Xiang Yu wants to stay away from this bar quietly has a lot to do with this person.

I didn't expect the two of them to know each other? I don't think it's so unlucky.

Xiang Yu's face was silent, and he also pretended to be very surprised and shouted: "Li Ziquan? ”

"That's right, it's me. Thanks to you remembering my name, we haven't seen each other in years, but luckily you look the same as when you were a child. ”

"yes, we haven't seen each other since I came down in the fourth grade. You haven't changed, you're just a lot taller and stronger. ”

The last time Xiang Yu and Li Ziquan met again, it was almost 20 years apart. Li Ziquan still recognized him at a glance, Xiang Yu's recognition is still quite strong, after all, after many years, it is still almost the same.

"Are you going to drink?" Xiang Yu glanced at the faces of several people again, and took the lead in speaking.

"Yes, do you want to be together, they are all my classmates at the state technical school."

State technical schools? I really didn't know that Li Ziquan was also from this school, which is really a coincidence.

"Oh, the school isn't so close here, how did you get here?"

"Where there is no drink at the school gate, let's talk about staying away and rest assured. Where are you going?"

"I'm going to go back to school, I'm at Qingguangshan Middle School."

"Now? Your school has also started evening self-study, why don't you have some wine with us, and when you go back to self-study, you can just sleep. ”

Xiang Yu looked at Li Ziquan, and then at the colleague from last time.

Secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but I can't drink enough, I'll just drink two glasses, and the two of us will talk more." ”

"Okay, whatever you want. We don't force alcohol to drink, we can drink as much as we want. Last time, there was a person in our school dormitory who was pressed to drink alcohol and sent directly to the hospital next door, and now the school is very strict. ”

It's a very ordinary bar, and it seems to be a place where young people mainly consume. The decoration still has a certain character, with a little American western style, whether it is ornaments or bar counters and counters for barware, they are all in that style.

A few people found a long table and sat down, and Xiang Yu looked around boredly. After Li Ziquan finished ordering things, he introduced a few people, Xiang Yu didn't remember it, but he knew the name of the person he knew last time. Naming, this name is very distinctive.

How did I forget?

Xiang Yu was still thinking about Na Ming's name and when he was working with him, and the waiter had already put Fenghua Xueyue beer on the table. A dozen, 12 bottles. There are 5 people in themselves, and if you add Xiang Yu, it is already 6 people, and if you have 12 bottles, it seems that it is not enough.

"I ordered one first, 24 bottles. Not enough and again. Come on, do one first. Xiang Yu, long time no see! At the end, Li Ziquan shouted.

The six of them toasted one cup, and then Li Ziquan and Xiang Yu toasted three more cups alone. A bottle of beer is the amount of three glasses, and Xiang Yu has already drunk more than one bottle before he starts. After the end, several people chatted happily, chatting and eating the snacks served by the waiters one after another. Melon seeds, mustard edamame, fried potatoes, fried bait cubes, and fried chicken feet.

"You kid! Why didn't you ever come to our team when you came home from vacation? Didn't you forget your brothers? ”

Li Ziquan put his arms around Xiang Yu's neck and blew wind into his ears.

"Of course not, didn't I just call out your name at once? I just think it's a friend, even if I don't keep in touch for a long time, I'm still a friend. ”

"Good! I like that. Here, another drink. ”

The two of them each toasted another glass of wine.

"Ah Quan, what make you so happy?"

Na Ming came to the two of them at some point and asked Li Ziquan.

"Oh, my friend - Xiang Yu, he just said that even if a friend doesn't contact him for a long time, he will still be a friend."

"Oh, that's a good one. Since ancient times, we in China have said that 'the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water', and true friends must be a lifelong thing, and it is nothing if you don't contact them for a while. ”

"Yes, yes. That's what it means. Li Ziquan replied happily.

"But...... Another meaning of this sentence is that even if some people drink and eat meat together every day, they are not friends. Na Ming seemed to mean something, and after saying this, he stared straight at Xiang Yu.

Damn, this guy is stupid, I kind of know why the last time I met him, he said he was being held to the head at a gun in this bar. It must be because he is cheap, I didn't recruit him, I didn't mess with him. This is the first time we met, what does it mean that he deliberately raised the bar?

Li Ziquan was also stunned when he heard Na Ming's words, and he didn't understand what was wrong with Na Ming.

"No, I didn't mean that. Friends eat meat and drink wine together every day, so of course they are better friends. Xiang Yu said loudly.

"Yes, friends are together every day, of course the relationship is better. Come, come. Let's have another toast together. Li Ziquan picked up his wine glass and shouted: "To friends!" ”
