Chapter Eighty-Three: Chinese New Year

After talking about the business, a few people began to eat and drink, long time no see, several people have endless words, from the upheaval to the present, a group of friends who have died, in this troubled world to support each other, now there are only four people left, so that the four people are not very embarrassed, a few glasses of wine, the past is all pouring into their hearts, the four of them have become naΓ―ve children, a little bit of the trivial things before can be said with relish.

Quietly listening to the chatter of the four people, Song Xiaoting learned a lot about the past of the four people.

Lao Liu used to repair electric cars, obviously tall and stout person, but the name of Xiao Liu's electric car, Mr. Huang knew Lao Liu was out of a very accidental thing, Lao Liu was arrested for selling black cars, just Mr. Huang was working at the police station, Lao Liu sent 5,000 yuan to Mr. Huang, after Mr. Huang got him out, Lao Liu also sent a bicycle to Mr. Huang, he would not repair high-end bicycles, and called Mr. Huang to repair the car at the stall of Chu Xiang, and Chu Xiang met Mr. Huang from this.

Ah Ming met Chu Xiang when he was playing bicycles, but he also met Mr. Huang at the police station. Once Ah Ming took the subway and had a conflict with a few young men on the elevator, Ah Ming eight young men with the same stature as Chu Xiang alone, and met Mr. Huang when he went to the police station to deal with it, both of them were discharged from the army, and they sympathized with each other, and Ah Ming was released by Mr. Huang on the same day.

If you can't finish talking, you can't finish drinking, you eat a meal for most of the day, and you don't stop until it's dark, Ah Ming is dizzy and dizzy, Mr. Huang can't go straight, Lao Liu has the most alcohol, but it's not much better, his tongue is big, and he can't speak clearly.

Ah Ming works in the intelligence department, and he will go to work tomorrow, Mr. Huang has to patrol in the second half of the night, the two staggered to help each other back, Lao Liu still wants to pour Chu Xiang a few cups, but Ah Ming and Mr. Huang can't even walk straight, so they have to follow them, lest the two fall into the ditch halfway.

Chu Xiang was also very dizzy, the amount of alcohol was poor, and he hadn't drunk for a long time, as soon as the three of them left, Chu Xiang collapsed.

Hangover inevitably has a headache, and when she woke up, Chu Xiang felt that her head was about to explode, Song Xiaoting didn't complain that Chu Xiang was drunk, the four of them were talking about a life she didn't know at all, and a wonderful life that made her yearn for it, she was very happy to have such a boyfriend and meet such friends who showed their skills in their respective fields.

When they came back to their senses, it was already noon, the two of them went east, and after walking for a while, Song Xiaoting asked, "Didn't we go to Wucheng?" ”

"Of course not." Chu Xiang said with a smile, he had already drunk the New Year's wine with his old friend, and he didn't have to enter the city anymore.

When the two of them arrived at the beach, Chu Xiang pulled Song Xiaoting, stepped into the sea, and went to the open sea. Song Xiaoting didn't know how to tread water at all, so Chu Xiang had to half-lift and half-pull her, carefully guide, and let her learn slowly.

There was basically no one in the sea, only a few fishing boats on the beach, and by noon the two of them had gone hundreds of miles into the sea to a town flooded by the sea.

"Look, there's a lot of people there." Song Xiaoting shouted, she had learned to tread water, but her skills were still very poor, and Chu Xiangban pulled her to drown the water to her knees.

"Check it out." Chu Xiangdao.

"What if it's a trap?" Song Xiaoting said.

Chu Xiang smiled, Song Xiaoting was no longer as inexperienced as before, and when she saw something abnormal, she would wonder if it was a trap set by others, which was a good thing.

The smoke was from the roof of a nine-story building that was exposed to the water, and it looked like it was supposed to be a hotel, but it was a good location. Treading waves went straight to the hotel, and there were people talking on the roof, which seemed to be quite lively.

"You know them?" Song Xiaoting asked.

Chu Xiang nodded.

When the two approached the hotel, the people on the roof also spotted the two, and several people ran to the side of the building to wave to the two.

"Boss." A man on the roof beckoned.

Walking along the wall to the top of the building, seven or eight people appeared in front of Song Xiaoting, and several people were making a fire to grill fish and meat. ”

Song Xiaoting knew that they were calling Chu Xiang, and when she saw that her boyfriend was so popular, she was a little happy in her heart, and looked at a few people, and found that several people were looking at her curiously, and two of them were women, and the eyes of the two women kept scanning her, with a hint of hostility in their eyes.

Everyone was fine, Chu Xiang smiled, and was about to speak, when Li Qiong shouted, "Brother Xiang, is this a sister-in-law?" ”

Chu Xiang smiled and nodded.

Seeing Chu Xiang nodding, Leng Ruyue's face became a little pale, and Yang Rong's expression was also a little different.

Li Qiong and Zhao Ziming immediately shouted happily: "Hello, sister-in-law."

Wang Liang, Dou Yonghua and Nan Zhongdao also shouted: "Hello sister-in-law." ”

"Hello, my name is Song Xiaoting." Song Xiaoting said with a slight smile.

Duan Meng was looking at him with a smile on the side of the pot, Chu Xiang walked over and took Duan Meng's hand and said, "Old Duan, is your health okay?" ”

"It's too good to be good, it's even better to see you." Duan Meng laughed.

Knowing that it was Chu Xiang's elder friend, Song Xiaoting was very well-behaved, and shouted: "Hello Old Duan." ”

"Good, good, hello, hello." Duan Meng looked at Song Xiaoting happily and said.

"Dou Yonghua, Nan Zhongdao, Wang Liang, Li Qiong, Zhao Ziming, Leng Ruyue, Yang Rong, Zhong Fugui." Chu Xiangyi introduced everyone to Song Xiaoting one by one, and Song Xiaoting did not have a sister-in-law's shelf, and greeted them one by one with a smile.

Finally, Chu Xiang pointed to the cold young man sitting by the wall and said, "His name is Yan Wuhui." ”

Song Xiaoting was a little surprised, nodded and said, "I've seen him on the news." ”

"How?" Chu Xiang patted Dou Yonghua's shoulder and asked.

"It's okay, it doesn't make a difference if you don't have a hand." Dou Yonghua said with a smile.

"That's good." Chu Xiang was slightly relieved.

Walking in front of Yan Wuhui, Chu Xiang said, "What? ”

"I can't die." Yan Wu replied.

"It's those three words every time, can't you say one more word?" Chu Xiang was in a good mood and said with a smile.

"I can't."

"Okay." Chu Xiang said helplessly.

The kitchen utensils are ready, vegetables and fruits are also available, but the main dish is missing - fish, I don't know who has prepared a dozen fishing rods, and everyone swings together, which is also fun. Chu Xiang had hardly fished, sat down and fished for a while, and found that it was quite good for concentrating and calming down, so he beckoned everyone to come over and start fishing.

"Elder Duan, how is your research?" Chu Xiangdao.

"How can this kind of theoretical research be so easy to gain results, and you can't even touch the door in a few years of study." Duan Meng said.

"That's too." Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Xiaoting is also doing research, so you can discuss it together." ”

"Can't you see it?" Duan Meng said in surprise.

"Don't you look good." Chu Xiangdao.

"Indeed." Duan Meng laughed.

While the two were talking, Duan Meng had already taken the bait and was busy pulling the rod.

"Zhongdao, this time is good, tell me about your experience." Chu Xiangdao.

"It's okay, I've been in the sea lately. Water is like air, follow the trend of water flow, after a long time to find the same law of air flow, moreover, the greater the water pressure of the place to the penetration of strength and the flexibility of the body, the greater the obstacle, under such a strong pressure, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Nam Chung Do.

"Do you hear that?" Chu Xiangdao.

Yan Wuhui didn't speak, and Dou Yonghua and Wang Liang nodded one after another.

"Isn't my progress fast?" At this time, Leng Ruyue was a little lost.

"It's okay, it's far from the limit it should be." Chu Xiangdao.

Oh, Leng Ruyue was very disappointed, she thought she would be appreciated, but it was just okay.

"Fugui, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask, and you can ask them when I'm away." Chu Xiangdao.

"Yes, Master Chu." Zhong Fugui said respectfully. Together with everyone, Zhong Fugui was a little shrunken, and he couldn't blend into the atmosphere.

"Count it out, they are all your senior brothers, and they are also responsible for your lack of progress, so you can't tie your hands and feet." Understanding Zhong Fugui's heart, Chu Xiang said.

"Understood." Zhong Fugui said with some excitement, he didn't expect Chu Xiang to attach so much importance to him.

"The progress of the three of you brothers is too slow, you can't slack off because of other things, take out the previous strength, practice does not have to be a specific time environment, just like now, with a fishing rod in hand, it is a good time to practice listening to the strength, you can also practice breathing and breathing, and you can do the exercises anytime and anywhere." Chu Xiangdao.

"Understood, Brother Xiang." Li Qiong and Zhao Ziming said in unison.

"I'm sorry Brother Xiang, I've been a little distracted recently." Wang Liang said ashamedly.

"Progress is not something that can be done in a moment, practice anytime and anywhere, and the accumulation of these basic kung fu is the most important thing." Chu Xiangdao.

"Understood." Wang nodded and said.

"What about me?" Seeing that Chu Xiang didn't mention her, Yang Rong asked.

"Your mind is too mixed, wait until you can calm down." Chu Xiangdao.

Yang Rong bowed her head a little embarrassed.

A group of people fished for a while, Duan Meng's technique turned out to be the best, repeatedly reeling the rod, sometimes the fish was too big, and he was almost pulled into the water by the fish. Chu Xiang's record is okay, he can barely catch a few, and the worst record is Yan Wuhui, who sits there without moving, not a single fish is hooked, probably because the fish are afraid of him.

Everyone fished for more than an hour, but they didn't catch many fish, and several people ate ten catties and eight catties of meat for a meal, and this fish was not enough for dinner, so they had to go into the water to catch it.

Chu Xiang grabbed a few and came up, and when he saw that Yan Wuhui didn't go into the water, he sat still and shouted, "Don't you go down, practicing in the water will help you a lot." ”

Yan Wuhui didn't speak, his face was tight, Chu Xiangzheng was puzzled, Duan Meng smiled and said, "He's afraid of water." ”

Chu Xiang was stunned, laughed, and asked, "Old Duan, how do you know?" ”

"He threw up when he came." Duan Meng said.

Chu Xiang laughed and said, "It's just right to be afraid of water." As he spoke, he went to catch Yan Wuhui, Yan Wuhui's face turned blue, he wanted to hide but was unwilling to hide, he was grabbed by Chu Xiang's shoulder and thrown far into the sea.

Soon, everyone caught a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs and other things, cleaned them by the water downstairs, and brought them up and put them in the pot. Everyone came back, but there was still no shadow of Yan Wuhui, and after a long time, I saw Yan Wuhui grabbing an arm-long big fish to the surface, his whole face was blue, his expression was extremely uncomfortable, and his Adam's apple kept rolling, looking like he was about to vomit at any time.

Chu Xiang took Yan Wuhui's fish and said to continue, Yan Wuhui glanced at Chu Xiang with murderous eyes, endured the discomfort in his heart, and continued to catch fish. What Chu Xiang didn't expect was that Yan Wuhui was afraid of water, but his cooking skills were unparalleled, and he couldn't see the cooking level of Zhong Fugui and Li Qiong, so he pushed the two away and turned on the kitchen god mode.

Seeing Yan Wuhui skillfully operating all kinds of kitchen utensils with a blue face, Chu Xiang suddenly felt very disobedient and funny. Under the help of the kitchen god, everyone cooperated with all hands and feet, and soon the meals were ready, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, everything was complete. Most of the table is seafood, fish, shrimp and crabs and other various aquatic products, boiled, steamed, boiled, boiled, and baked, dazzling, the whole table is full, and there are many that have not been served.

After getting everything ready, it was already dark, the hot temperature was slowly dropping, and the soaked clothes were very comfortable in the cool breeze.

Chu Xiang has stopped drinking recently, but at this time, he couldn't help but raise his wine glass and said, "I originally wanted to have a good meal in the city, but I was afraid that your relationship with me would be exposed and put you in danger, so I had to do it myself in this sea and wronged you." He drank it all down.

"This sea view is better than the city." Duan Meng said with a smile, and did it too.

"Boss, it's been a long time since I've eaten such fresh seafood." Dou Yonghua said, suffocating.

"Brother Xiang, we followed you all the way to Wucheng." Wang Liang said, and the three brothers raised their glasses with both hands and poured them into their mouths together.

Yan Wuhui didn't say anything, he drank it all, and Nan Zhongdao and Zhong Fugui were the same.

"Thank you for making me feel warm." Leng Ruyue said, his expression was a little complicated.
