It's the end of the year in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, Qi Shaoling has been working in the night bar for almost a year. His daily job is still to set fruit plates for guests. In his spare time, he and Fan Xiaolong were in the bar. Fan Xiaolong is also an old Jianghu, well-informed, in him, Qi Shaoling knows a lot of unknown secrets, including some secret gangster organizations in today's society. Only then did Qi Shaoling know that there was still such a group of people in society.

These secrets broke Qi Shaoling's previous cognition in his heart, knowing that he couldn't easily offend some people in society, and some people could not afford to offend these little people. Those people don't care about the law at all, and they even sometimes break the law. What they pursue is absolute interests, and in the face of interests, these people can often deny their relatives and be ruthless. These all had a great impact on Qi Shaoling's mind, and he gradually changed from an ignorant rookie to a sleek one. He knew that his angular personality was not suitable for survival in a place like a bar, so he learned to read words, keep his eyes on the sky, and most importantly, he learned to keep a low profile.

Qi Shaoling is in the bar, and with the salary plus commission, he can get four or five thousand yuan, which is enough for the daily expenses of the two of them, save a little, and there will be some surplus, and the life of the two of them is also nourishing. It's just that in recent days, Qi Shaoling's heart has a faint feeling that is not very good, mainly because of Qi Peiyun. Since Qi Peiyun returned from the hospital last time, her body has not been very good, especially in recent days, she has always been inexplicably dizzy. After going to the hospital for examination, no other symptoms were found, and the doctor at the hospital replied that the blood vessels in the brain had not been fully recovered, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, so there was a feeling of dizziness. This situation lasted for a while, making Qi Peiyun very distressed, often getting sick for no reason, which caused her schedule to be completely disrupted, often waking up in the middle of the night, but when she looked up and found that it was not yet dawn, she wanted to go back to sleep, and she couldn't sleep for a while, just like that, her nerves gradually became very fragile, and she would wake up at the slightest movement, and sleep became a luxury, which was impossible to meet.

Qi Shaoling was anxious to see his mother's illness, and asked many doctors in the hospital, all of whom said that there was no special medicine that could cure this disease, and the only way was to recuperate and take blood vessel expansion drugs regularly, but this medicine has great side effects, and if you take it for a long time, you will become dependent on the drug, just like people who smoked big cigarettes in the past, and they will be confused as soon as the strength of the medicine passes. For this reason, Qi Shaoling was very distressed. He also once asked a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine about his mother's illness, Chinese medicine pays attention to conditioning and conforming to the laws of nature, these are simply fantasy for Qi Shaoling, he doesn't understand these at all, and in the end it will be over.

In this way, it didn't take long for Qi Peiyun to finally get a new illness ------ depression. Long-term insomnia and excessive mental stress caused her to become completely depressed. However, there is also a very direct reason for this, which Qi Shaoling only learned about later. It turned out that before he got sick, Han Tianxiang once accidentally revealed his father's remarriage when he was talking to Qi Peiyun. Qi Peiyun was silent at that time, and he didn't say a word until that night. Since then, she has hardly said a word all day, often sitting there alone in a daze, and then just muttering the same thing over and over again, endlessly.

When Qi Shaoling knew what was going on, he was furious and scolded Han Tianxiang on the phone, a guy who was not successful enough to lose, and finally, Qi Shaoling solemnly warned Han Tianxiang that in the future, without his permission, he must not come to visit Qi Peiyun, otherwise don't blame his younger brother for not talking about brotherhood. How dare Han Tianxiang not agree, he has been pressed by Qi Shaoling since he was a child, and until now, as soon as Qi Shaoling stared, Han Tianxiang was so frightened that his legs and stomach trembled, let alone wanted to refute.

In order to treat his mother's illness, Qi Shaoling can be said to have worked hard to find people to inquire in many ways, once he heard that there was a home remedy for the disease, he would rush there when he was not at work during the day, just in response to the old saying------ if you are sick, go to the doctor. But after a period of time, Qi Peiyun's illness did not lighten, but the money was not spent, and for a while, the mother and son fell into the dilemma of making ends meet again.

In order to get more money, Qi Shaoling worked very hard in the bar to promote the dried fruits, drinks, drinks and cigarettes on consignment, but even so, he still couldn't get too many kickbacks at the end of the month, compared to the money spent on Qi Peiyun's treatment, it was really a drop in the bucket. But he has no choice but to take one step at a time!

It was past eleven o'clock that night, and it was another weekend, and there were a lot of people in the bar, and Qi Shaoling and Fan Xiaolong were both very busy.

At this time, Tian Mei, who had not seen her for many days, walked in from outside, came directly to the bar, and sat on the high stool on the side. "Sister Mei, I haven't seen you for a long time, you've become beautiful again!" Qi Shaoling stepped forward to say hello. "Hey---! my brother is really, really good at talking" Tian Mei seemed to have drunk elsewhere, and her tongue was a little big when she spoke, "I haven't been here for a few days!

Qi Shaoling's face was a little red, he had never flirted with a woman like this, but fortunately, the lights in the bar were not very bright, and his embarrassment was well concealed. Qi Shaoling then said, "I'm kidding, Sister Mei, it seems that you haven't drunk less! I'll make you a plate of fruit salad for decanting!" "Okay, then I'll wait here!" After speaking, Tian Mei put the bag in her hand on the bar, took out a cigarette from it, took out a cigarette and lit it, and sat there looking at Qi Shaoling. Being stared at by Tian Mei like this, Qi Shaoling felt a little unnatural, his hand cutting the fruit was a little shaky, and he almost cut it into his hand a few times, but fortunately, he calmed his mind in time, and quickly made a plate of decanted fruit salad and pushed it in front of Tian Mei.

Tian Mei picked up the fruit skewer, tied up a piece of fruit and put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly. Presumably she drank too much wine and was a little thirsty, and she actually ate a lot of this plate of fruit salad. When there were only three taels left on the plate, Tian Mei put down the fruit stick with satisfaction and said, "Brother, my sister has drunk too much, which makes you laugh! However, thanks to your salad, my stomach is much more comfortable, thank you, brother!" "Thank you, this is what I should do" Qi Shaoling replied very politely.

After sitting for a while, the people at a nearby table saw Tian Mei, presumably an acquaintance, and beckoned her over. Tian Mei picked up the handbag on the bar and walked over.

Qi Shaoling looked at Tian Mei, who was walking a little loosely, shook his head silently, and continued to do his work.

It's already past twelve o'clock, and there are still no fewer guests in the bar, Qi Shaoling and Fan Xiaolong have been busy for a while, and they are a little tired. Fan Xiaolong leaned against the bar, reached out and took the wine list handed by the waiter, and said with a wry smile, "Three more cocktails, tired of his uncle!" After speaking, he began to prepare for the mixology. After a while, he poured the mixed wine into the cup and shouted to the waiter outside the bar, "The Covered Bridge Dream Cocktail is ready, waiter, serve wine to the guests!" A waiter not far away shouted, "Brother Long, I'm removing the table here!, please send it away!" "These dead girls, one is lazier than the other, and you have to let Uncle Ben deliver the wine!" "Forget it, let's go!" "Forget it, I'll go!" I see that you are tired enough, I will be fine, I will send it" Qi Shaoling on the side hurriedly said when he saw this. "Alright then, I still have two glasses of red wine to mix!

Qi Shaoling walked towards the table of guests not far away with the tray, and just as he was about to get to the table, suddenly, a guest near the table stood up suddenly, and just hit Qi Shaoling's body, the tray held by Qi Shaoling poured forward, and the wine in the cup suddenly came out, and it was spilling on the clothes of the guests in front of him, which was a stain at that time. The guest also jumped up reflexively, without saying a word, he slapped Qi Shaoling's face, and his mouth was still shouting, "Fuck, are you blind? Lao Tzu's clothes are very expensive, can you afford to pay for it?" The beater was a man in his forties, very burly, with a face full of anger, and he looked very vicious.

Qi Shaoling was slapped suddenly, his center of gravity was unstable for a while, and he fell directly to the side, the tray in his hand also flew, and the wine was spilled. When he reacted, he immediately jumped up from the ground and was about to pounce on the person who hit him. Since he was a child, he has never suffered such a loss, and it is a great shame that he has been slapped in the mouth! In addition, these days, because of his mother's illness, he has been very upset, and such a thing has directly erupted.

He quickly swung his fist at the man's face, and the man must have not expected that Qi Shaoling would dare to fight back, and he didn't react for a while, he was directly hit in the nose by Qi Shaoling's fist, and blood immediately flowed out of the man's nostrils. When the man saw that he was bleeding, he was immediately furious, and shouted in his mouth, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you dare to fucking beat Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu killed you today." After speaking, he shouted at the other two people next to him, "You two go and guard the door for me, don't let this kid slip away, Lao Tzu will do him here today!"

As soon as I saw someone fighting, the bar was suddenly noisy, some applauded, some coaxed, and some slapped the table hard, in short, it was a mess. Some waiters saw that it was Qi Shaoling who was fighting with someone, so he hurriedly ran to the back to call the boss.

The man from before wiped the blood left in his nose, shook his hand, and rushed towards Qi Shaoling again. I saw him waving his arms, clenching his fists, and coming straight towards Qi Shaoling's face, he wanted to take revenge for Qi Shaoling's punch just now, and he also wanted to bleed Qi Shaoling's nose and mouth. But how can Qi Shaoling let him get his wish, he has spent it in fights since he was a child, he has seen a lot of this kind of scene, don't say that you have a bleeding nose, that is, a bleeding melon seed in your head, Qi Shaoling has never been afraid.
