Chapter 1: Waiting Bar

Qiancheng in June......

Ga... The small door on the side of the gate of Qiancheng Prison opened, Qin Hao walked out with a yellow file bag in his hand, still wearing the clothes he wore before entering the prison, a white T-shirt, a pair of gray legging casual pants, and a pair of burgundy casual shoes that looked brand new, the morning sun was still quite dazzling, especially for Qin Hao, who had just come out of prison at this moment, he reflexively covered it with the file bag in his hand, and the prison guard who sent him out said to him: "Be a good man" and then turned around and went in. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info clanged, the small door of the prison closed, Qin Hao didn't seem to have any expression on his face, not even the slightest excitement to get out of prison, not at all, he glanced around, there was no figure on either side of the empty asphalt road.

His brow furrowed suddenly, but he recovered in an instant, for he knew before he walked out of prison that no one would come to pick him up. He turned around and glanced at the Qiancheng Prison where he had been here for five years, and at the same time opened the yellow file bag and took out the mobile phone that had been kept for five years and a black wallet, which was also the only item he had on his body when he was in prison, walked to the bus stop in front of the prison gate, and casually threw the file bag in the trash, and at the same time threw out two pieces of paper from the file bag, which were his release certificate and prison file, but he didn't even look at it, and took out his ID card and the only banknote and a bank card in his wallet, glanced at the mobile phone in his hand, threw it into the trash can along with the wallet, took a deep breath, and waited quietly at the bus stop......

Five years ago, Qin Hao returned to Qiancheng after graduating from school, and Ouyang Lingfeng and Guo Fan, who were good brothers and classmates in high school, opened a bar called WaitingBar in Qiancheng, which was the dream of the three of them in high school, and it was at that time that they began to plan, and two years after graduating from college, they finally realized their dream in high school, and the bar in Qiancheng finally opened.

The waitingbar is not opened in the most prosperous area of Qiancheng, because in the prosperous area, not only is the rent relatively expensive, but more importantly, there is no suitable place to open a bar. Qin Hao and the three of them finally found a façade on the second floor of Beiyuan Street, which was originally an office building of a company, with more than 300 square meters. Although it is not the most prosperous area in Qiancheng, Beiyuan Street is a famous supper street in Qiancheng, and it is the most lively place at night.

After more than three months of renovation and preparation, the waitingbar finally opened on May 20th, on the night of the opening, the bar was full of flower baskets at the entrance on the first floor, and the bar was already full before twelve o'clock in the evening, the three of them were classmates and friends in high school who could be contacted, looking at such a lively scene, Qin Hao walked to the bar after accompanying a table of classmates, and asked for a glass of whiskey at the bar to drink alone, from the opening to the present, Qin Hao didn't know how much wine he had drunk, I've been with many tables, and now the whole person is dizzy, and I originally wanted to call the bar to give me a glass of ice water, but after thinking about it, I still ordered a glass of whiskey.

Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng, who were accompanying the wine in the venue, found Qin Hao drinking alone at the bar at the same time, so they also came to the bar after drinking for ten years.

"Hey, what's wrong with you kid? Can't you? Haha, I didn't expect you to have a time to hide from alcohol, it seems that our all-night brother can't do it today, ahhaha", Guo Fan sat next to Qin Hao and said directly, obviously, they are used to joking like this.

Qin Hao didn't pay attention to Guo Fan, didn't even look at Guo Fan, laughed and asked the bar to give Guo Fan a glass of whiskey, Guo Fan took it and picked up the wine glass and touched it with Qin Hao and killed it in one gulp.

Ouyang Lingfeng didn't speak, his face was full of excitement about today's opening, and he sat on the other side of Qin Hao casually, asked the bar to give him a glass of ice water, took out a cigarette and gave one to Qin Hao and Guo Fan, and then lit one for himself, and after a while, he looked at Qin Hao who was laughing and said: "Hey, I said Brother Hao, aren't you stupid drinking, how do you feel like you're changing today, why don't you say a word just by smirking?" ”

After Ouyang Lingfeng finished speaking, he directly called the bar counter to reopen a bottle of whiskey, poured it to himself, and killed it in one gulp, maybe he drank too violently, and he almost vomited without parrying it all of a sudden, coughed a few times, his face turned red and his eyes were moist, the sharp-eyed bar brother immediately sent a glass of ice water over, Ouyang Lingfeng drank it in one gulp, and said with a scolding grin:

"Oh, I'll go, it's too fierce, almost out of the ocean",

When he spoke, he didn't see Qin Hao and Guo Fan covering their mouths so that their faces turned red, so they just laughed out loud.

At this time, Qin Hao finally spoke, but before he could open his mouth, he laughed and said: "I said Ling Feng, you kid doesn't play like this, haha, you think you are a Russian big brother, whiskey should be drunk with water, haha, look at your decay, ahhaha, it's not me who said you, you are a 13 goods", Qin Hao couldn't help laughing after speaking, Guo Fan next to him finally couldn't help laughing at this time and said: "Haha, I said Brother Feng, you kid said that our brother Hao drank stupidly, I think you drank stupidly yourself, haha."

As soon as Ouyang Lingfeng saw that the two of them were washing up and laughing at him, he immediately began to be unhappy, grabbed the pistachios in the fruit bowl on the bar and smashed them at Guo Fan, Guo Fan was not to be outdone, grabbed the melon seeds in the fruit bowl in front of him and also counterattacked Ouyang Lingfeng, Qin Hao stood up directly, holding a wine glass, and watched the two living treasures fight with a smile.

This kind of situation is already an indispensable part of the lives of the three of them, and Qin Hao is used to it, don't look at Ouyang Lingfeng and Guo Fan like children, when they start to do things seriously, Qin Hao himself knows that he is two or two cuts behind. Ouyang Lingfeng and Guo Fan have the same personality, they are both people who look very arrogant, and they are hanging, people who don't know will definitely think that they are the second ancestor, the kind of people who are not down-to-earth, but in Qin Hao's eyes, these two living treasures are very down-to-earth and very good people, because Qin Hao regards the two of them as brothers in his heart, so he knows very well what the two of them do, and in the hearts of Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng, they also regard Qin Hao as a good brother and a good brother, the three of them tacitly understand each other, and they are rarely convinced. The two with uninhibited personalities only serve Qin Hao and only listen to Qin Hao, they have to wait for Qin Hao to make a decision, maybe the two living treasures will not listen to their parents so much, if their parents know about it, they don't know how to feel.

Seeing that the two of them were almost in trouble, Qin Hao called them out of the bar and took the elevator to the roof of the building, and the three of them sat on the edge of the rooftop at the same time, the night sky was full of stars tonight, very beautiful, very beautiful, just like their mood, very happy, very excited.

Looking at the neon-filled, lively and noisy streets under his feet, Qin Hao said: "I have finally taken the first step, and our future road should be more brilliant", Qin Hao seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was talking to the two of them, and looked up at the night sky after speaking, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng didn't have the previous laughter, and they also looked up at the starry sky with a serious face, as if they were thinking about something.

In fact, one of the things they all thought about was what the three of them had experienced and encountered before they graduated from college and opened this waitingbar. Ouyang Lingfeng's family conditions are the best among the three, his father is the deputy director of the Qiancheng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, his mother is the president of the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Bank, and there is an even better uncle who is the deputy mayor of Qiancheng.

Guo Fan's family background is not bad, but it is a little worse than Ouyang Lingfeng, Guo Fan's father is Guo Zhengxiong, the boss of Qianfu Phosphate Mine Group, the largest phosphate mining group in Qiancheng, mentioning the name of his father Guo Zhengxiong, in the entire Qiancheng City, there may be a name more than the mayor of ********, because his father often appears on TV and on the big screens in the city, and most schools in Qiancheng City have his funding. Guo Fan's mother is not an idle person, she is also well-known in Qiancheng, especially in the education circle, she is an outstanding teacher representative of Qiancheng City, and she is also a representative of the Qiancheng Municipal People's Congress, and often goes to the Provincial Department of Education on behalf of the Qiancheng Education Bureau and various schools to hold meetings, the most important thing is that Guo Fan's mother has also received the appointment notice and is about to be transferred to the director of the Municipal Education Bureau. However, it is a pity that Guo Fan's parents divorced three years ago, and the court originally awarded Guo Fan's custody to his father, but Guo Fan directly stated in court that no one would follow him and live his own life, so Guo Fan moved out of his original home after graduating from school, and after returning to Qiancheng after graduating from school, he rented a house in the urban area, which also happened to become a den for the three of them.

Speaking of Qin Hao's family background, he is too far away from Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng, and to put it bluntly, he is not a person of the same level. Qin Hao's hometown is in the countryside of Qiancheng, in the authentic countryside, there is a grandfather in the family, he was also raised by his grandfather, as for his parents, they have never appeared in Qin Hao's memory. When he was a child, Qin Hao would often ask his grandfather that his other friends had parents and parents, why didn't he have parents himself, his grandfather would fall into contemplation every time he asked, and there would be a burst of loneliness and helplessness on his face covered with traces of time, every time the old man would say to Qin Hao, your parents went out to make a lot of money for our little Haohao, so that Xiao Haohao could buy toys, buy delicious food, and buy a big house. Since Qin Hao grew up and became sensible, he no longer asked this question, he had put the matter of his parents deeply in his heart, because he learned from his father and fellow villagers that his parents had died in a car accident when he went out to work when he was very young, so Qin Hao was very vague and unfamiliar with the words "father and mother", because he had no impression of his parents at all, and he was also sensible earlier than his friends of the same age, so he never asked his grandfather and parents again. Because he knew that every time he mentioned his parents, his grandfather would be very sad and painful, because that kind of pain can never be erased.

He and his grandfather depended on each other, and his grandfather raised him to go to school until he graduated from college, but Qin Hao has been studying very hard since he was a child, and in order not to increase the burden on his grandfather, he has begun to work on holidays in junior high school and high school to earn tuition and living expenses for himself. It is precisely because of Qin Hao's reasons that he, Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng will suffer a lot before graduating and go through many unimaginable days before opening the bar, which is also the reason why they will fall into contemplation at the same time.

The most important thing is that Qin Hao has been very self-reliant since he was a child, he relies on himself for everything, he is not used to and does not like other people's charity and help, so after graduation, Qin Hao directly vetoed Ouyang Lingfeng and Guo Fan's plan to take money from home to start a business, and then driven by Qin Hao, Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng did not ask for a penny at home, and the three of them started the road before starting a business together, they went to work in a company, sold barbecue in a night market on the street, went to a bar as a waiter, and worked as a security guard. They even pushed two-wheeled carts to sell fruits, in short, they did a lot of walking, and they suffered a lot for their dreams in high school. Now, they've finally made their dream come true and Waitingbar has opened, so their eyes are starting to moisten when they think back to what it was back then.

Qin Hao glanced at Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng left and right, took a deep breath, put his hands on the left and right of the two, collected his deep thoughts and said: "Along the way, sincerely, I am grateful to have the two of you, it is you who have accompanied me to this day, I don't know what to say more, in short, everything is in my heart, Afan, Ling Feng, you are my brother, the best brother in my life, the brother who can let me pay with my life in this life!" After Qin Hao finished speaking, he let out a long breath and slapped Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng heavily, in fact, he also knew that everything about the three brothers was unspoken.

Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng looked at Qin Hao at the same time, and said in unison: "Brother Hao, needless to say, it's all in my heart!" ”

After speaking, Guo Fan jumped down from the railing of the rooftop first, looked at Qin Hao and Ouyang Lingfeng and said: "Oh, I'll go, our three brothers don't be so hypocritical, today is the day of our opening, we should be happy, we should be excited, he should go to drink, yes, just go to drink and get high, haha, we won't get drunk tonight", Guo Fan felt that something seemed wrong after speaking, and immediately added: "Ya is not drunk and does not return, this is our place, haha, Ya is not drunk and will not stop, haha." , I'm going to have to drink our all-night brother tonight, yes, just drink down, ahaha".

"Yes, go drink, don't get drunk and don't stop, drink Brother Hao down, haha, I haven't drunk like this for a long time, I must turn the tide tonight and get back the ugliness that I made in front of the two of you, haha", Ouyang Lingfeng also jumped down from the railing and said with a smile.

Qin Hao saw Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng like this, and when he heard them say this, he also had a smile on his face, and then said with relief: "Haha, just because you two stinky boys still want to drink me down, haha, when I am an all-night brother, this name is not for nothing?" Haha, yes, we should be happy tonight, we should celebrate, go, drink, don't get drunk, I'm in for a treat tonight, haha, let me pretend to be 13 too, ahaha".

After listening to Qin Hao's words, Guo Fan and Ouyang Lingfeng glanced at each other, made a look, and immediately took Qin Hao off the railing and walked towards the elevator when Qin Hao was not paying attention, and Guo Fan said as he walked: "Return your treat, this bar is the three of us, you can invite yourself, haha", after speaking, the three of them frolicked and walked to the bar.
