By October 2004.

On a Saturday night, Hua Yehong's father Hua Chen, Yang Luyao's father Yang Min, and Tang Jun's father Tang Ran, including Li Tianyang, had dinner together in a three-star hotel.

Together with Li Tianyang, the representative of the Li family, four families and two generations of world friends had a dinner.

"Come, everyone, pick up the cup! Ye Hong, Tianyang, Lu Yao, Xiaojun, you are not too young, today your uncle allows you to drink! Come celebrate tomorrow for this special day. Hua Chen picked up his wine glass and said with righteousness.

At this time, Hua Yehong and the four of them all restrained their past sharpness, picked up the wine glasses one after another, and the two generations drank all the wine in the cups.

"Dad, what the hell is going on? In this way, the three elders will take us to eat together. Hua Yehong asked in surprise.

Yang Luyao and Tang Jun also looked at their father with puzzled eyes.

"Haha, son, you should ask your buddy Tianyang, and he will tell you." Hua Chen looked at his son and said with a smile on his face.

"Tianyang, what's going on?" Hua Yehong asked, and Yang Luyao and Tang Jun also asked suspiciously.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow my dad Li Bin will be released from prison, and he is finally, finally coming back." At this time, Li Tianyang restrained his domineering and arrogant appearance in the past, and his expression was a little serious, as well as a little excited and excited.

"Holy! You're not so funny! Uncle Li is about to be released from prison, why are you only telling us now! Tang Jun was the first to say dissatisfied, and Hua Yehong and Yang Luyao couldn't stop nodding.

"I, I don't know what to say." Obviously, Li Tianyang's mood is a little complicated.

"That's it! Kids, don't say much! You Uncle Li, like a few of us, have been brothers since childhood, just like you! This relationship, but the more time passes, the more valuable it becomes! The era to come will be the era of your young people, so tomorrow your Uncle Li's release from prison, you juniors must also witness. Tang Ran also smiled heroically.

When Hua Chen heard this, he quietly ignited the soft China, that calmness and vicissitudes of life are not something that ordinary bastard brothers can imitate, that momentum and calmness are the precipitation of years shaped by too many tempering.

"Since the shootout at Huaining Bridge in 98, our brothers have separated, and then your father and I fought with the local underworld in Taicang, and the process was absolutely thrilling. But we have all survived, and it is our greatest relief to be able to get together with you Uncle Li. Tang Ran said sadly again.

"Alright, let's have another drink!" Yang Min raised his glass and said.

"By the way, Ye Hong, I heard that you and Lu Yao have been getting along well, and Dad is still very happy. Lu Yao is a girl, and she is usually spoiled by your Uncle Yang, her grandfather and your grandfather are old comrades-in-arms who were born and died in the trenches back then, you have to take care of her! . Hua Chen said earnestly and Hua Yehong.

"Dad, you can rest assured!" Hua Yehong said firmly, but he didn't notice that when he finished saying this, Yang Luyao, who had always been spicy, actually showed a trace of imperceptible shyness, but it did not escape Hua Chen's eyes.

"Lao Yang, it seems that these two children get along well, if you don't mind, let's set a future family, what do you think? Do you dislike this son-in-law? Hua Chen said jokingly.

"Dahua, you are really joking, the tiger father has no dog, how can your son be bad? When other children were still addicted to online games, he was already the champion of the Jiangsu Provincial Games. He is only 15 years old, young and promising, and Lu Yao is blessed to follow her. After drinking a few glasses of liquor, Yang Min, who was already a little drunk, said with a smile.

"Dad, what do you say! Ye Hong and I are brother and sister! Although Yang Luyao usually has strong dissatisfaction with her father Yang Min, she finally showed the appearance of a daughter and a little girl at this time.

"Haha, okay, let's stop kidding them, let's have another drink!" Tang Ran raised his glass again and said.

……

The next day, at the gate of the No. 1 Prison in Nansu City. Three Mercedes-Benz, Audi, as well as Buick sedans, business vehicles, and even many Jinbei vans were quietly waiting at the door.

By 5 p.m., the prison gates were slowly opening. Escorted by two prison guards, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes and packing his luggage slowly walked out.

This person is burly, fierce-looking, shaved hair, although he has been in prison for many years, his eyes still have a cold light, and he has not reduced the strong sharpness and domineering spirit of the year.

This person is Li Tianyang's father, a big bastard who dominated the eastern district of the city with Wei Dayong, Hua Chen and others in the 80s.

The people who came to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him that day were not only the best brothers of the year, Hua Chen, Tang Ran, Yang Min, Wei Dayong and others. Since Director Wu was shot in 98, the situation on the underworld in South Sudan has begun to enter a period of stability, and now Li Bin's release from prison is definitely a big event for the society.

Hua Chen, Yang Min, Tang Ran and others were the first to greet them. Without too many words, each of them gave him a punch in the chest, showing kindness and their stickiness.

"Binzi, it's been six years, and it's still the same!" Brilliance said.

"It's the same with my brothers!" Li Bin said angrily.

"It's good to come out, the Jinling Hotel has already set up a banquet for you, go, take a good shower at the hotel first, and then drink a few brothers!" Tang Tan punched Li Bin again and said heroically.

"Bingo! Bingo! Many bastards who had followed Li Bin or admired Li Bin at the scene also shouted.

Several prison guards at the gate of the first prison are accustomed to seeing this scene in front of them, the style on the rivers and lakes is like this, on the day when a certain big brother is released from prison, there will always be a large number of people gathered to greet the former big brother. The public security side is also accustomed to turning a blind eye, and as long as they do not gather crowds to fight and make trouble, they will not interfere.

"Dad!" Accompanied by Hua Yehong, Yang Luyao, Tang Jun, including Yang Yu and Xia Ting, Li Tianyang ran over and shouted excitedly.

He hadn't seen his father for a few years, and he spent six years in worry and longing, Li Tianyang's complicated feelings can be imagined.

"Grass!" Li Bin, who had been looking at his son for a long time, slapped Li Tianyang's head again, expressing his mood and heroism in this heroic and rough way.

Li Tianyang, who had not been beaten by Li Bin for several years, was slapped hard by Li Bin at this time, and it seemed very useful.

"Hello Uncle Li!" Hua Yehong, Tang Jun, and Yang Luyao, the three children who grew up together in the pharmaceutical factory, also greeted warmly.

"Grass! Grass! Li Bin rudely slapped Hua Yehong and Tang Jun's heads again.

"Little rabbit, I haven't seen you for a few years and now I'm a big boy! Have a few drinks with my uncle tonight! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! Li Bin still said angrily.

"Well, there is also Xiao Luyao, who has become a big girl now, and the longer she grows, the more beautiful she becomes." For Yang Luyao, a girl, Li Binzhi did not greet in that rude way, but praised her.

"Thank you, Uncle Lee." Yang Luyao said with a smile.

Indeed, when they were children, Hua Chen, Tang Ran, and Yang Min were often away from home. It is often Li Bin who cares for the four of them, often takes them to eat delicious food, and buys toys for them. Therefore, Hua Yehong and the children of the four pharmaceutical factory directors are very respectful to Li Bin.

"Dad, let me introduce you. These are Yang Yu and Xia Ting, both of whom are my primary school classmates. Now junior high school is also in the same school as me, the two of them, like Ye Hong and the three of them, are also my best friends now! Li Tianyang said solemnly.

"Hello Uncle Li!" Yang Yu and Xia Ting shouted seriously.

"Oh, this guy is quite strong, and he looks like a good fighter. As for this little girl, she looks quite weak, Tianyang! Since you're a friend, you have to protect her if she hears it. Li Bin said seriously.

"Dad, don't worry, in our third middle school, no one dares to bully Xia Ting!" Li Tianyang said confidently.

"Yo, you kid can do it now!" Li Bin said with a big grin.

"Big brother, let's go, get in the car and go! The second brother is now transferred to the Baixia Branch and has become the captain of the security brigade, because he can't leave for the time being because of official business, so he brings some brothers with him at night. Li Tianyang's third uncle said.

"Well, I can understand that the second brother is busy, let's go, let's drink!" Li Bin waved his hand, and a group of people rushed towards the Jinling Hotel.

……

Although in 2004, including after 2010, Nansu, as the provincial capital of Jiangsu, has become a big city in the country alongside Hangzhou, second only to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. All kinds of five-star hotels, luxury business plazas, Asia's seventh tallest building, Zifeng Tower, the six-star Intercontinental Hotel, is even more proud.

But in 2004, Jinling Hotel was still a time-honored signboard among the five-star hotels in Nansu.

That night, Hua Chen and Tang Ran, who were already very wealthy, chartered the entire hall of the Jinling Hotel, and nearly 300 people from the three religions and nine streams came to attend the banquet. There are bastards from all walks of life, including Li Bin, Hua Chen, and Tang Ran's friends in the business world, as well as Li Tianyang's second uncle's colleagues, friends, and even leaders in the public security system.

This gathering attracted the attention of people from all walks of life in South Sudan at that time, and this circle was condensed together, which was not a top or particularly powerful circle in South Sudan, but it was definitely a force that should not be underestimated.

It can even be said that this is the prototype of a gang with a real underworld nature in the future!

……

"Tianyang, I finally know now, why are you so domineering and so awesome." Yang Yu, who had already drunk a lot of wine and was obviously a little drunk, said slowly.

"What's wrong?" Li Tianyang took a bite of food and said disapprerovingly.

"Look at your dad, what a cow. After he was released from prison, it was more beautiful than before, and so many strongmen came to cheer him on. No wonder you are not afraid of anything at school, compared to these little fights in our school, they are really not even a fart. Yang Yu continued.

"Alright, you! Eat your food! I've been in the third middle school for the past few years, have you ever mentioned my father's reputation? Without the influence of my dad and my two uncles, Lao Tzu would still be nowhere to be in the third middle school! Li Tianyang said with some disbelief.

"Alright! Okay, you! I said, can you stop being so fierce all day? It's really like the underworld. Yang Luyao teased.

"Yes, yes, the second sister taught me a lesson." Li Tianyang said honestly.

"Xia Ting, on an occasion like today, you won't be uncomfortable, right?" Hua Yehong asked Xia Ting with concern, obviously ignoring the essence of Xia Ting's outer softness and inner rigidity.

"How could I not fit in? You underestimate me too much, but I'm very happy for Tianyang, and we'll be good in the future! After speaking, Xia Ting, who usually doesn't drink, actually took a whole glass of red wine and drank it all.

"Hey, it's a pity today, I should have called Pan Xiaoya too, she is my good sister now." Yang Luyao said with some doubts.

"Smack!" Xia Ting put the wine glass heavily on the table.

"Pan Xiaoya! Pan Xiaoya! You know her all day long, don't you? Xia Ting suddenly looked unusual, and asked with some seriousness. In order to participate in the banquet today, Xia Ting specially changed into a blue wrap-up dress that Yang Luyao bought and gave her, and put on some light makeup, so that she looked more mature and attractive at this time.

I have to say that when Xia Ting was really serious, she really reversed the image of the cute girl in the past, to the point that she felt a little "royal sister". is worthy of being the third sister of their six brothers and sisters.

"Huh? Okay, okay? Tingting, I knew you were the best. Yang Luyao hurriedly comforted Xia Ting, and at the same time kissed her lightly on the face.

This time, Hua Yehong, Li Tianyang and Tang Jun were a little uneasy, and secretly thought, what happened to these two girls today? How do you feel that there is such a "base feeling"? ”

"I said, big brother, what do you think?" Tang Jun said cynically again.

"Haha, don't call me big brother, how inappropriate is it on today's occasion? I think it's better to give up my eldest brother to SkyOcean. Hua Yehong teased Li Tianyang again.

"Holy! I ask you not to make fun of me, okay, we were brothers and sisters who kowtowed together back then, you are the eldest brother in terms of age, and you are the eldest brother in terms of age, and you are a few months older, but there were gods to witness back then. Li Tianyang suddenly said seriously.

"Haha, okay, I'm not going to tease you." Hua Yehong patted Li Tianyang.

"I think that today's banquet, with Uncle Li's release from prison, will definitely have a greater or lesser impact on our six brothers and sisters in the future. We're still young now, and we don't know a lot of things, so let's do our own thing, but..."

"No matter what happens in the future, no matter what, the six of us must be together..."Hua Yehong, who was the calmest and most analytical among the six people, raised his wine glass very rigorously. He stared meaningfully into the eyes of each of them, word by word.

Yang Luyao, Xia Ting, Li Tianyang, Yang Yu, and Tang Jun also replied with firm eyes, the six cups collided heavily, and a glass of wine was swallowed again, and it was not only wine that was drunk. It is also the love and nostalgia that cannot be erased in a lifetime, as well as the eternal spiritual wealth in the future...

What does the future hold? God knows? Hua Chen, Li Bin, Yang Min, Tang Ran, these post-60s generations are now middle-aged, and it is gratifying that their children have continued their friendship.

With the in-depth development of reform and opening up, the first batch of post-90s generations represented by Hua Yehong and other brothers and sisters, what kind of joys and sorrows and cruel tests will their youth encounter? Time will tell...
