Distillery, inside the electromechanical room.

Cheng Jianghai was silent and sweating profusely in front of the roaring machine, but there was no expression on his face.

Busy, non-stop busy, has become his only rhythm at the moment.

The former youth and immaturity on his cheeks have long since left him, leaving only maturity and stability after being tempered.

The process of a person's maturity is like forging steel, first burning your limbs, making you ignorant and confused under the high temperature of passion and impulse, suddenly plunging into the cold water, tasting the violent reversal from one extreme to another, and then putting your fragile nerves on the hard chopping board and forging them repeatedly, abandoning those naïve and naïve residues, and making the will and spirit tenacious and strong, which is the so-called quenching.

Without the pain of burning the flames, how can there be a transformation of rebirth from the fire.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, there is no difference between a flower and a flower at one year old and withering, it will always go through it, which is a fate that no one can avoid.

Those who can see it are light-hearted, and those who can't see are as heavy as lead.

Cheng Jianghai seems to belong to the latter, for a long time, he has maintained this silent masochistic rhythm, repeatedly squeezing himself with work, and frantically venting the grief in his heart, whether it works or not.

Cao Wangquan, who was staring at the side with a teacup, sighed secretly, and he didn't know how to persuade his apprentice.

"Jiang Hai, why don't you take a break...... Jianghai ...... Hey......"

Cheng Jianghai turned a deaf ear, but he used more energy under his hands. Cao Wangquan tugged at the corners of his mouth, held it for a long time, and finally chose to keep his mouth shut. After a while, Hao Chunju came to the workshop and greeted Cheng Jianghai from afar, but the other party did not respond at all.

"Jiang Hai, busy! Jianghai ...... Uh, uncle, why is he still like this? ”

Cao Wangquan shook his head with a sad face, and sighed: "Forget it, don't bother him, this baby is uncomfortable, I can see it, you just let him do it quietly, at least it's a vent." ”

Hao Chunju looked at Cheng Jianghai's lonely back, frowned, and said pityingly: "Hey, it's really pitiful for a child without a mother." Uncle, you think he won't just go on like this, right? ”

"Don't look at what you usually smile at, this kid is actually thinking about it. If you ask him, he won't tell you, this heart disease must need a heart doctor. ”

Cao Wangquan sighed deeply, his dark face was a little sad, and then he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and stared at Hao Chunju suspiciously, and asked, "Alas, it's strange!" Don't you usually like to go to Jiang Hai's side, so I thought you had a crush on him, why haven't you come here so lately? ”

Hao Chunju's face turned red, and she twisted and pinched for a long time, and said with a hard mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, I'...... When did I fall in love with him, we were just colleagues and friends, not like you said! ”

Cao Wangquan's face froze, and he rolled his eyes for a while, as if he couldn't get used to the erratic and unpredictable temperament of young people, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, what are you doing?" A hammer in the east and a stick in the west, there has never been a stereotyped look! ”

Hao Chunju was a little irritable in her heart, bared her teeth and said, "Oh, don't worry about my business." ”

Impulsive emotions always have an unstable nature, and yesterday's likes can only stay in the past, and will not last forever. It's not like it's capricious, but when you meet someone who is more eye-catching, the balance of feelings will tilt.

Under the onslaught of Wang Yangxun's hot wave, Hao Chunju's hazy complex, which could be tied to Cheng Jianghai, was quietly unraveled, and now what is left is pure friendship, which has nothing to do with love.

Cao Wangquan stared at her, his inquiring eyes scanned for a long time, and finally gave up helplessly, and said happily: "I don't bother to care about your young people's affairs." But Jiang Hai's current situation really worries me as a master, you young people have a common language, you go and find a way to enlighten and enlighten, if this continues, people are about to suffocate to death. ”

Hao Chunju pursed her lips, thought for a long time, and agreed: "Oh, then I want to find a way, I don't know if I can do it?" ”

Cao Wangquan looked at the figure who kept practicing himself melancholy, and said bitterly: "Do your best, don't give me such a good apprentice." ”

After getting off work, Cheng Jianghai walked quietly on the edge of the crowd, the noisy noise had nothing to do with him, and the figure on the ground was pulled into a lonely black line under the illumination of the afterglow, and the surrounding colors were distinct, like a melancholy lone wolf.

But not far from the factory gate, he was suddenly pulled aside by a hand, Cheng Jianghai raised his head in surprise, looked at the other party suspiciously, and asked in surprise: "Sister Chunju, are you in trouble?" ”

Hao Chunju glared and said with a grin: "Of course there is something, let's go, let's drink!" ”

"Drinking?"

Cheng Jianghai frowned tightly and asked in astonishment, "Why are you drinking?" ”

Hao Chunju pursed her lips, looked at Cheng Jianghai's depressed and unhappy decayed appearance, and pouted with disgust: "What can you do with drinking?" Look at your bitter gourd face, how long has it been on your face, I have a headache when I see it. It's uncomfortable, isn't it? You just drink with me, as the saying goes, one drink relieves a thousand sorrows. ”

Cheng Jianghai shook his head lonely, kicked his arm and refused: "No, I don't have that mind!" ”

Hao Chunju tugged at his arm and said toughly: "Oh, come on, I don't have the heart to have a drink, Tan Jun and Yangxun are all applauded, they are waiting for you, you can't go." ”

Cheng Jianghai frowned, and said reluctantly: "Why are you bothering them again?" ”

Hao Chunju rolled her eyes and said in a chiseled manner: "They are your best friends, aren't they still brothers if they don't appear at this time?" Oops, you just listen to me, hurry up, go! ”

After speaking, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, Hao Chunju took him away with a hard pull......

Hao Chunju was right!

Wine, for the current Cheng Jianghai, is the best catharsis medium, and his brother is also the best person to confide in.

In the restaurant of the snack street, several people are silently accompanied, and the pain of losing their loved ones can be understood by everyone.

With brothers, the lonely mind has dependence, and the raging flood has an outlet for catharsis, and that is enough. borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, Cheng Jianghai was a little drunk and hazy after a while, and the brothers who sat with him were also filled with bitter water in their hearts.

Cheng Jianghai raised his glass leisurely and roared: "Come, which of you will accompany me to make this cup again!" ”

Tan Jun touched his nose and persuaded: "Jiang Hai, drink less, don't get drunk." ”

Cheng Jianghai smiled stupidly, looked at the wine glass with a confused look, and finally confided in the heart that had been suppressed for a long time under the stimulation of alcohol: "Drunk, isn't it better to be drunk, if you are drunk, you don't want anything, you forget anything, how good is this...... Do you know how I've come all these years? I tell you, this man must not make a mistake at any age, you must not make a great mistake! In this world, there is really no fucking regret pill to take. ”

Tilting his head and swallowing the bitter wine, like a red-hot iron bar, stirred the grief of the internal organs, and the tears slid down the bridge of his nose into his mouth, which was more bitter than the wine in his stomach.

Cheng Jianghai's choked words echoed in the small private room: "I feel uncomfortable, I want to change it, change it, and my mother will wake up; If I change it, I will be able to be filial to her like a good son...... I actually don't have much desire, I just look forward to hearing her say: Jiang Hai, Mom doesn't blame you, Jiang Hai, Mom forgives you......"

"That's it! I worked hard step by step, trying to go to school, working hard, trying to earn money. Can...... But God won't even give me such a little opportunity, my mother still left, not even looking at me, is this just self-inflicted and can't live? ”

The bloodshot in Cheng Jianghai's eyes was like a cocoon, and his hoarse vocal cords were filled with endless sadness, knocking on the table like a madman, and the wine was sprinkled all over the table, and he continued to cry: "Seven years, seven years, if it weren't for my sister, I would have gone fucking crazy, collapsed, and died...... Do you know why? Just because my mom was killed by me...... I'm just a brute......"

"Jiang Hai!"

"Boss!"

The two brothers cried out in unison, and both stepped forward to hug Cheng Jianghai, who was having a mad attack, and the bitterness in their hearts was mixed with strong guilt, which made the two suddenly feel very ashamed. Hao Chunju, who was on the side, was full of sadness, gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked: "Do you know what happened to Jiang Hai in the past?" ”

Tan Jun drooped his head, snorted for a long time, and muttered: "He has never told us about this, and he holds everything by himself." ”

Wang Yangxun twisted his face, with a bitter expression: "I only know now that the boss still has so much bitterness in his heart, hey!" ”

Hao Chunju was also gloomy for a while, looking at Cheng Jianghai who was lying on the table talking to himself intermittently, she felt pity, lowered her voice and sighed: "Hey, it's okay to spit out the truth after drinking, let him vent, it seems that he has been holding back for a long time." ”

Tan Jun touched his nose and said to himself: "To put it mildly, I am ashamed to say that it is the Three Musketeers and the Three Dead Friends, but I don't even know what Jiang Hai has been thinking in his heart all these years, he has really been a brother for so many years in vain." ”

Wang Yangxun said: "Yes, this brother makes me blush. Jiang Hai, boss, when you are a brother, you can't stand it, come, I'll drink this cup with you, and we won't get drunk today. ”

Tan Jun also filled the wine glass with wine, his eyes flashed with tears, and he said with affection: "Come, count me in, I will also accompany you, our three brothers will not return if they are not drunk!" ”

Knowing the intentions of the two, Hao Chunju naturally accompanied her to the end, and said boldly: "Count me in!" Dry! ”

This night, with the company of brothers and friends, and a hearty drunkenness, Cheng Jianghai more or less vented the bitterness and sadness that had accumulated in his heart over the years, so that he would not hide in his heart forever, waiting for it to ferment and completely crack his internal organs, becoming an alien who is not like a human or a ghost.

Cheng Jianghai was drunk, drunk thoroughly.

The brothers sent him back to their home with all sorts of hands, and only then did they leave until they were settled and slept. This night, Cheng Jia'an was on night duty in the sanatorium, which also gave Cheng Jianghai a chance to let himself go.
