Yang Chen learned from Hao Yong that there were three buddies who were called the Five Tigers with him in the Ninth Middle School in Xinfeng, Hao Yong, Sun Yu, and Wang Xiaofei returned from the army and entered different government units, Hao Yong entered the patrol police brigade of the city bureau, Sun Yu was in the labor bureau, and Wang Xiaofei was in the safety supervision bureau.

Once a young and frivolous teenager, now that they are going to work, Yang Chen, who is rarely sentimental, sighs that the years are fleeting.

Since the years are fleeting, then cherish the time in front of you, if you can't be a hero who saves the world, you can at least be a traitor who plays with the world, so that this life will not be in vain.

Yang Chen's handsome face showed a deep smile, full of evil spirit.

Brother a few o'clock in the evening at eight o'clock in Xinfeng in the past two years of a popular bar gathering, Yang Chen saw that the time was still early, stopped a taxi, visited a few hot real estate in Xinfeng, the family's old house was crumbling, parents have lived in a rented store for more than ten years, how can I bear to be a son.

The son wants to raise but does not wait.

This is the greatest sorrow of being a child.

Yang Chen didn't want to feel sorry for the pain at that time.

After the Olympic Games, Xinfeng housing prices rose rapidly, breaking 4,000 per square meter and looking at 5,000, although it is much cheaper than the provincial capital Xijing, which is often the first thousand per square meter of houses, but there is still a more or less tendency to force good prostitution, Yang Chen visited four real estate in a row, and finally selected a hardcover real estate developed by Evergrande, hardcover and is an existing house, the price exceeds 5,000.

Yang Chen looked at a set of 100 square meters of house type, small high-rise elevator room, eighth floor, good lighting, Evergrande's fine decoration materials are decent, not gorgeous, no big defects, the old couple lived, enough, after reading the room, he didn't say a word to pay, not a deposit, it was the full amount!

The sales lady who thought that there was no serious customer when she was about to get off work suddenly smiled, no matter how old Yang Chen was, she opened her mouth and closed her mouth to call her brother, and even asked Yang Chen if she was single.

Most of the women who engage in sales are shrewd and realistic.

Yang Chen thought so, but he wasn't too disgusted, people with a little brain, no matter men or women, who is unrealistic, realistic and better, he can't get used to seeing individual men yelling at women in reality, you are a big man who has no ability, why do you want women to be blue-eyed to you?

All the formalities are completed in one hour.

Yang Chen walked to the sales department with the information bag, and a taxi happened to pass by and stopped him to enter, and the middle-aged driver opened his mouth and said, "I bought a house, are you going to get married?" Now the housing prices are high, you are young and married, the older generation has to suffer with it, and the family that is not rich will smash all the savings of your life into this house. ”

"I'm not getting married, I'm buying a house for my parents."

Yang Chen smiled indifferently, and the middle-aged driver looked at Yang Chen like a monster, speechless for a long time, somewhat unconvinced, as if gnawing at the old was already an inevitable way for young people to survive.

The driver slandered.

Yang Chen didn't bother to explain, took the car back to his small restaurant, put the purchase contract and the key in the drawer of the desk on the second floor, and was ready to tell his parents before leaving.

At this point, the bar is a little deserted, and the people who come are really unbearable and lonely empty animals, a few wine escort girls who are engaged in selling alcohol gather in front of the bar, flirting with the two handsome guys who are bartending, and when they saw Yang Chen coming in, they immediately stared intently, and exchanged their heads and comments.

Yang Chen glanced lightly at these girls with flirtatious and slightly dusty demeanors, and walked inside, someone from the sofa booth in the secluded corner shouted: "Yang Zi, where is it!" ”

Wang Xiaofei.

Yang Chen recognized his former playmate at a glance, smiled, and walked over quickly, except for Li Feng, Hao Yong, Wang Xiaofei, and Sun Yu were all here, after five years, they got together again, the four of them hugged each other without saying a word, the friendship between them, time could not be diluted, for a long time, the four of them separated.

Yang Chen sat down next to Hao Yong and asked the brothers how they were doing.

"Coming back from the army, Yongzi and I have to get by, messing around, Xiaofei is much more motivated than the two of us, these two years I took the self-examination of the undergraduate clerkship, some time ago I selected deputy section-level cadres from the city's staff members, conducted an exam, Xiaofei passed the test again, went to the provincial capital to study for a year, and came back to be a cadre in the early twenties, a deputy department in the early twenties, and there are few in the province." Sun Yu explained the recent situation of the three of them in a few words, and he still smoked fiercely back then.

"Xiaofei's personality is suitable for mixing officialdom."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, his brother has a few temperaments, he knows very well, Xiaofei is sleek and tough, and his career may not be unproductive, so he simply asked Xiaofei what he plans to do next.

"I think when you come back from a year of study, you should go to the industrial zone or the Xincheng district government office, and there are many opportunities to contact leaders, which will be helpful for future development." Hao Yong analyzed that the three generations of a family have been working as public security officers for many years, so they naturally have an understanding of officialdom.

Wang Xiaofei shook his head slightly, looked at his brothers, and said slowly: "When I come back from studying, I plan to go to the township to work as a deputy for a few years to accumulate experience." ”

To the township?

Hao Yong, who was living comfortably in the agency, looked at each other.

Yang Chen's eyes are sharp, Xiaofei is much more mature than back then, serving in grassroots townships, every boss with a prosperous career must have qualifications, this kid has far-reaching vision, and his plans are not small.

"Dude, support you."

Yang Chen nodded, took the lead in raising a glass, and the four of them clinked glasses and drank them all.

"Yang Zi, tell my brothers, what have you done for five years?" Sun Yu finally asked his brother a few questions he wanted to ask the most, Hao Yong and Wang Xiaofei put down their wine glasses and waited intently for Yang Chen to speak.

Yang Chen smiled bitterly, picked up the soft China that Sun Yu threw on the table, pulled one out and lit it, and took a puff slowly, the brothers all remembered that Yang Chen was drunk and not smoked back then, which could make a person with a firm and strong heart change his living habits, which shows that something unexpected has happened to them in the past five years.

"How to say it, I can only describe it in one word, nine deaths and one life." Yang Chen said quietly, his eyes fluttered, as if reminiscing about the bits and pieces of the past five years, Hao Yong, Wang Xiaofei, and Sun Yu followed the silence, nine deaths and one life, and the simple four words brought them an inexplicable sense of heaviness.

"Yang Zi said, the matter of those five years is a secret, let's not ask, drink and drink." Hao Yong broke the silence and poured wine for the brothers, and the four brothers who were rarely reunited drank heroically.

After five years, the four of them have changed, but the momentum of drinking remains the same.

After destroying more than 20 bottles of Carlsberg beer, the bar gradually became lively, and the resident singer loved it more than before.

There are signs of overcrowding in the booth area with high guaranteed consumption, not to mention the dispersion, Yang Chen inadvertently glanced at a girl with heavy makeup near the booth, and attracted the provocation of the girl's male companion blowing his beard and glaring, this thing was afraid that Yang Chen didn't know how powerful he was, so he opened his throat and said some awesome words with his companions, making it seem that the big man of Xinfeng Niu Fork had a leg with him.

Yang Chen laughed and drank his own wine.

The more anxious people are to explain their awesomeness, they often have low self-esteem in their hearts.

Hao Yong was still hot-tempered, and wanted to turn his head and scold a few words, but was stopped by Yang Chen with his eyes, the brothers finally got together, more things are better than less, it doesn't hurt to endure.

Yang Chen's forbearance was misjudged by the other party to be cowardly, and a few girls who were at most vulgar fans were tired of their male partners, and felt that Bei'er had face.

Most women are interested in the blue eyes of males who give them a sense of security.

At this time, a group of people rushed into the bar in a rage, more than thirty people, and under the guidance of one of them, they rushed to Yang Chen's side.

The comers are not good.

As long as you are not stupid, you can see the clues.

The guy who opened his throat and bragged hurriedly stopped, trembling and watching, obviously a waste who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard.

"Big brother, he just straightened up the brothers." The guy who jumped out and angrily pointed at Yang Chen turned out to be a bald man who was put down by Yang Chen in the afternoon, and at night he wanted to come to the bar to have fun and relieve his inner depression, but he found that Yang Chen was also there, so he gritted his teeth and moved out of the backer to try to retaliate.

The big brother was too lazy to look at Yang Chen's four people, and bowed his head to light a cigarette surrounded by dozens of people, the eldest brother was full of style, and said casually: "Chop your finger yourself, and this matter will be turned over today." ”

The big-breasted women in the bar secretly shouted that they were so handsome.

Don't think that under the unattainable cold and glamorous beauties around the big brother in society, a considerable part of them are obsessed with the domineering and domineering that most men lack at the moment.

Yang Chen slowly raised his head while playing with the wine glass, the person who forced him to harm himself in this world had not yet been born, and he was curious about who was so rampant in Xinfeng.

The man who was full of big brother also subconsciously looked at Yang Chen.

Looking at each other, Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, it turned out to be an acquaintance.
