Chapter 166: Dry This Wine
"Cheers!"
It is not a splendid hotel, it is not a big restaurant with many characteristics, a small barbecue restaurant in Longhai Town, a dilapidated table, you can vaguely see that there are no clean oil stains on the table, on the kang, Cheng Xiaoyu and others sit together, holding up the wine glass, the second pot head of fifty-six, and the glass is gone.
The spicy sensation rushed down from the throat and eyes, like fire.
Beef tendons, beef and mutton, raw tendons and cooked tendons, crispy bones of the heart tube...... A large table was set up, and everyone sat cross-legged.
Zhu Da often squinted his eyes, and never forgot to pick up the one-sided hairstyle with his hands; Cui Xiaobraid swallowed a glass of wine, grabbed a handful of pickpockets in his hand, and chewed heavily; Meng Bald held a cigarette and ate boiled peanuts; Zhou Lei patted his bald head and ate with Cui Xiaobraid without giving in to each other; Long Fei touched the birthmark on the corner of his left eye, looked at the group of people in front of him who were really in love, and designed a behavioral hypnosis in vain.
The people of the Han family took Han Jiao away as soon as possible, and Zhang Sen sent away the silent Zhang Xiaocen, after waking up, Cheng Xiaoyu did not ask Zhang Xiaocen any words, the once youthful crush has long been a thing of the past, and there is a little bit of wanting to know what the other party is thinking now, but he was disturbed by the eyes full of defensiveness, forget it, the reunion of the left and right can only go around the earth, and the relationship between the two is far from being like this.
Zhang Sen didn't receive Han Jiao, he hurriedly chased back to Spring City to see her, and sent Zhang Xiaocen away by the way, when they separated, they sighed about the changes of the years, but they couldn't sigh about the past, Cheng Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaocen seemed to have words, but they both felt that it was better not to say these words.
Maybe, there will be an opportunity to meet, maybe, not maybe.
"Brother Long, thank you for your help this time, don't say anything superfluous, I will give you a drink." The man, due to his surname, is dry when he takes the cup, and the most excited person at the table is Cheng Xiaoyu.
Long Fei raised his glass, he was not pretentious, he bumped glasses with Cheng Xiaoyu and drank them all, he didn't fight or persuade him to drink, everyone did it casually, and they experienced such an artistic performance together, and they all felt close, and they seemed to have some kind of special connection with each other.
Zhou Lei is the most deeply touched, lonely wandering for so many years, has been a mercenary, a boxer, a professional killing, there is no shortage of women around him, there is no shortage of subordinates around him, what is missing is one thing - brother, since he met Cheng Xiaoyu and these people, he felt that the other party did not discriminate at all, and he did not want to use his own intentions, a very simple way to get along, if he was together, he ate meat and drank a lot, and if he did not agree, he parted ways, it was a wonderful and very casual feeling, you will even feel that this is the life you want.
With sincerity, for sincerity.
Sitting in a simple environment, eating the most casual skewers, drinking cheap two-pot heads, you don't have to say that it is much more comfortable than sitting in a high-end place and drinking high-end wine, everyone sits and drinks casually, Zhou Lei has a feeling of wanting to integrate, after monitoring Bai Ji'an for a period of time, he once thought that Cheng Xiaoyu was indecisive, and only after he really made up his mind did he find that some people never make up their minds easily, once the idea is set, they will not hesitate to put the opponent to death, this kind of person, It takes a long time to trust each other as friends, and being a brother will make you feel extra comfortable, and being an enemy will make you sleep.
"Lao Long, Lao Zhou, what's the meaning of wandering alone, I don't feel it, everyone can do things together, this impossible thing is called for us to do it, are you interested in doing it together, everyone gets together, grandma's, as long as you have a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of food, it's better than brocade clothes and jade food." Who is Zhu Dachang, the dog-headed military advisor, it is his part to strengthen the team, as Cheng Xiaoyu becomes more and more mature in his performance and mind, from the beginning of having to eat with a meal to wanting to do something together, and then to the joy of brothers being together after continuous hardships, which reminds him of Shuibo and Liangshan, although he and others are not gathering righteousness and planning for great things, they imitate their brothers after getting together for life, affection, and the future.
Meng Bald's mouth is not ordinary, he does not have Zhu Dachang's grassroots strategy, but he has a congenital extrovert and good at communicating, after hearing this, he took a sip of wine and said: "Tsk! I am a countryman, I used to be a second-rate child, and I was abducted and deceived by eating and waiting for death, and I felt that I had not lived in vain in this life, grandma's, happy. ”
"I'm a big man, I like you."
Burst!
Cui Xiaobraid is always speechless, and he knows that he has no other meaning, but he is straightforward, but it causes everyone to spray wildly, and Zhou Lei pats his bald head and cries and laughs.
The wine was pleasant, it was natural to be drunk, the drunk was drunk with the surname, no one controlled themselves to stay awake, and the group was drunk and found a bath and went to sleep.
At five o'clock in the morning, Long Fei opened his eyes, his throat was thirsty, and at the same time, he felt the earth-shaking snoring sound in the house, thinking about whether he was really drunk last night, and when he got to the bath, he slapped the table with the boss, and he had to live in a room for several people.
shook his head, opened the mineral water on the bedside table, drank it all up, got dressed, and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu and the others apologetically, not that they didn't want to be brothers together, but there was still a faint distance between them.
Walking downstairs, Long Fei stood on the cold street after paying, feeling the dry and cold hard wind in the early morning, biting and penetrating.
Taste exhaled, stopped a taxi, and let it go to Spring City at a high price, looking at the passbook in his pocket, Long Fei sighed, the 100,000 yuan in it is not a number or a value, but a retention, Cheng Xiaoyu has never taken it out, if he nods, he will not evaluate his help in this operation by value.
"Maybe there will be a chance in the future."
The same scene also happened to Zhou Lei, he was used to licking blood from the knife, and suddenly a few people who were willing to treat you with all sincerity appeared, he couldn't accept it for a while, and he didn't know how to refuse, so he had to choose to leave, maybe in the future...... There was also a passbook of 100,000 yuan in his pocket, no matter how much money he had, he wouldn't care at the moment, so he also stopped a car and went to Spring City.
After the two left, the snoring in the house stopped suddenly, Cheng Xiaoyu, Zhu Dachang, Cui Xiaobraid, and Meng Bald lit the lights in the house, looked at each other, there were no words of regret, everyone has their own choice, only he can judge whether he is right or wrong, do his best to obey the destiny of God, and if he feels compatible, he will sit together and drink some wine and become friends, and no one can force anyone.
Tens of thousands of yuan were left for the family to entertain the villagers who helped, and it was also a foreshadowing to find a new homestead to build a house in the spring, and they would be willing to reach out when they asked everyone to help. Cheng Xiaoyu drove the car, the four of them returned to Spring City, an event that accompanied his growth came to an end, the enemy was ambushed, but he couldn't get a little excitement in his heart, the cruelty of society lies in this, a will succeed This sentence is applicable to any era, your superiority and your growth will inevitably be accompanied by the fall and despair of some people, every step up, what you step on under your feet is not a stone step, but a person's shoulder.
After Cheng Xiaoyu and others left, Xinglong Village ushered in new guests, two military vehicles drove into the village, Old Man Suo Liansuo and his wife Grandma Huang came to the village, came to Cheng's house, came to the hill bag, and came to the front of Cheng Laowei.
All the younger generations of the Cheng family don't know that the old man with the surname is eccentric and has friends outside, and in the courtyard above the mountain bag that night, there was a loud singing, no melodious tune and no beautiful singing voice, but there was an indomitable momentum and impassioned vicissitudes.
A bowl of old wine, a few green onions and a stack of peanuts, the sauced beef and stewed chickens placed next to them are not as enjoyable as green onions dipped in sauce and peanuts chewed for half a day, and only these things can make the two old people recall the eventful years half a century ago.
The sound of guns and cannons has stopped for more than half a century, and the passionate and generous voice on the tower of [***] sixty years ago announced the birth of a country, under the bright five-star red flag, it was dyed by the blood of many revolutionary martyrs, and how many people saw the national celebration of the birth of the country.
The veterans who really came down from the battlefield, when the old station friends get together, they will not feel the life of today, nor will they feel the special identity of old cadres, they will only think of the comrades-in-arms who once stood by their side, and they will only think of the deceased souls who spread their lives on the revolutionary road.
"At that time, there were fifty-eight recruits, twelve who lived to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, seven people who lived to the founding of New China, and now and now, you and me, come, old monster, do it!"
They are all old men who are nearly ninety years old, and their physical condition no longer allows them to drink heavily, three bowls of wine per person, more than half of which are spilled on the ground, and a glass of wine is toasted to those faces that vaguely appear in their minds, and there are not only two people on the wine table today, but fifty-eight people.
"Dog, Black Egg, Iron Bull ......"
Drunk!
Early in the morning, Cheng Lao Wei went up the mountain early, grabbed some game for his old station friends, compared the two, the pampered life and the super medical team, obviously can not compare the life between the pure mountains and forests, the physical condition of the old man Suo is compared with the old man Cheng, and the difference is not half a star.
One is spinning around the mountain, and the other is lying on the kang with a hangover and a sore head, and needs to rely on drugs to resist the effects of alcohol.
"I've drunk the wine, let's go back." It's not that I'm in a hurry, but I'm afraid that I won't be reluctant for a long time.
"Well, on the eleventh of this year, you must go to the capital, and the sixty-year founding celebration of the founding of the People's Republic of China is indispensable for you." Old Man Suo didn't mention anything like wanting to improve the other party's life, which would not even have to be done by his comrades.
"I'll see." Can Old Man Cheng not be moved, after more than 30 years, what has become of that familiar place, he also wants to know.
