Time was torturous. Everyone finally lost their patience to wait for the government's reply. Waiting was not a solution. Blackie and the others were about to leave this place. Some of them wanted to go home, while others planned to find something to do elsewhere. There was still some time until the new year, so they could earn some money to go home.
Xiang Wentian and the yellow-haired guy were slightly better off than when they first arrived in Shenzhou. They finally had some money, but they hadn't returned the money they had borrowed from their fellow villagers. They knew that they didn't have much money, so no one dared to ask for it. Brother Ren had nothing to do for the time being, so it was impossible for him to take them away. Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, he did not want to continue working as a small worker. He had to find something else to do.
Huang Jin and the other villagers were planning to go home and asked him if he had anything to say to his family. What could he say to his family at this time? Do you still want your face? On the other hand, he had to treat them to a meal no matter what. He owed them too much. Although he did not have much money, they would not be poor from eating.
The big black man and the others also wanted to say goodbye to him, so they said that they wanted to treat their big brother to a meal. The location was still the same small restaurant. Everyone was used to eating there and felt that the food was good and affordable.
A dozen burly men sat at a table. Everyone ordered the cheaper liquor and the cheapest local Red River beer. Brother Ren sat with him at the top. Although there was no upper or lower position at the round table, everyone had to sit like this.
After a glass of wine, he stood up and picked up a glass of beer that was more than 50%. It was the kind of glass used to drink beer. It was estimated to be more than two taels. He said sincerely,"Everyone here is my brother. I came here with Goldie because of you, especially Brother Ren and Brother Huang. Without your help, we would have been at our wits 'end. I won't say anything more here. From now on, as long as you're my brother, feel free to ask me if I can help. Originally, I wanted to pay for this meal. Brother Ren, Brother Huang, and the others are going to part ways, so we have to do our best. However, Hei Zi and the others said that they also wanted to part ways. We don't know when we'll be able to meet again. We have to pay for this meal. We have no choice. Today's meal belongs to our brothers. No matter who we meet next time, we can't snatch this meal from our brothers. This cup of wine is a toast for brothers. Everyone can just express their gratitude. As the days go by, we will meet again."
The blonde was the first to respond." Boss," he shouted," if you drink, I must drink this cup of wine."”Brother Ren smiled and said," Brother, you don't know. This glass of wine is two and a half taels. You drank it all in one gulp. Do you want to continue drinking later? If you drink like this, we'll probably drink too much before the dishes are served."”
The big black man raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He said in a rough voice,"Let's drink. When we're drunk, we'll do our best.”
Xiang Wentian hurriedly said," Blackie, you can't say that. I've already said that I'll drink this wine to toast my brothers. There are so many of you, so I'll drink with you. Of course, everyone doesn't have to drink. It's enough to express my sincerity." Just like Brother Ren said, don't drink it all in one gulp. Take it easy and drink it slowly. This dish has just been served.”
Brother Ren smiled and said to the big black man," Blackie, it's not that Brother Ren doesn't want to give Little Xiang face. It's just that I think everyone should drink to their heart's content. We have plenty of time today, so we should drink more, right? Since everyone wants to drink it all, how can I do anything else? Little Xiang, I've always admired you for daring to go into the sea from the top. When I heard about this, I admired you. If you become rich in the future, don't forget about us brothers.”
Brother Ren finished it in one gulp. Xiang Wentian smiled awkwardly and said,"Brother Ren, your words are giving me a lot of pressure. I really want to make some achievements, but look around. This damn place doesn't want to give me a chance. Look, I'm still a small worker today. I really don't know when I'll be able to make a name for myself.”
Brother Monkey sat next to him and said," Brother Xiang, you will definitely have a future. We all think that you will have a future with your magnanimity. We treated you like that in the past, but you can still treat us like this. Just based on this, I don't believe that God won't give you a chance. It's just that the time hasn't come yet."”
"Boss, what Brother Monkey said is right. Goldie has always thought that Boss is our biggest brother. He will never regret following you. The underling toasted the boss with a glass of wine.”The yellow-haired guy stood up and said seriously with a wine glass in his hand.
He believed the blonde's words from the bottom of his heart. He was touched and stood up, saying emotionally,"I have to say, among all of you here, I'm the only one who's sorry. This is probably the first time you've suffered in your life. I'm very touched that you said that. Boss, remember your words. No matter what happens to us in the future, brotherhood is our first priority. Come, you do it. Boss will do it with you.”
His forthrightness made everyone present feel like he was the boss, but they didn't know how much he could drink. With this attitude, it was needless to say that he drank the most at this table. Everyone toasted him the most. However, at this time in life, getting drunk was the most pleasant thing. A man had a saying: One must enjoy life to the fullest. Don't let the golden cup be empty in front of the moon. Similarly, today's wine was also a disappointment in life for Xiang Wentian.
After drinking, Boss Qiu of the small restaurant also came to join in the fun, saying that he wanted to drink a glass of wine for the elderly. However, he was holding a glass of beer. Boss Qiu had convinced Brother Xiang to be loyal. It was fate that he could drink with Brother Xiang again. Today, Old Qiu would treat everyone to a drink. Just enjoy yourself.
These words made Xiang Wentian, who was still in a daze, feel touched. What kind of words were these? This required the Little Boss to spend a lot of money. This was a matter of friendship, not just wine and water. He hurriedly expressed that there was no need to do this. Everyone would be happy to drink together, but Boss Qiu would feel bad if he had to spend money. Boss Qiu was unhappy and said,"Brother Xiang, do you not want to get to know Old Qiu?" You don't like Old Qiu because he's old?"
After Little Boss said this, Xiang Wentian had nothing to say. He could only drink two glasses of beer with Boss Qiu to pass the test. After a round of drinking, Xiang Wentian, who rarely drank, was really drunk. He was the kind of person who wanted to get drunk from the bottom of his heart. He had not been drunk for many years. This feeling was really good. The days of running around seemed to have dissipated a little in this drink. The pent-up feelings that had accumulated in his chest for many days were evaporated out of his body along with his brain.
Little Boss was also a foreigner. He had been working hard in Shenzhou for many years, but he still hadn't managed to get a place in this city. He admired people like him who came from the same unit. He couldn't help but ask the reason. If it was in the past, when Xiang Wentian was sober, he wouldn't have said a word.
On this occasion, coupled with the steaming alcohol, Xiang Wentian revealed his thoughts without hesitation. In a fit of anger, I went into the sea only for a beautiful woman, and chased my dreams for thousands of miles, all for beautiful women. This was the first time the blonde was stunned. No wonder Boss was unwilling to go back to his hometown like this even if he was begging.
Boss Qiu was so impressed that he wanted to drink with Brother Xiang. He said that this was a real man. Wasn't life just to pursue what one wanted in one's heart? Brother Xiang was able to do this at such a young age, which was much better than Old Qiu. He also wished Brother Xiang that he could find his dream as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Xiang Wentian was very happy. He clinked his wine glass with Old Qiu's and said,""It's rare to have a confidant in life. I'll be floating in the sky." After drinking the wine in his cup, he couldn't help but feel excited and recite the poem "Chasing Dreams":
Willow smoke, water, like a mirror, smoke in the mirror beauty painting.
I don't know the guest in my dream, and I wake up once every ten years.
It was as if the beauty in his dreams was there, but his soft hands were not strong enough to hold her. The sadness in reality made his heart surge. Using wine as ink and the table as paper, he used his right index finger to write like a dragon and snake. He loudly recited the cry in his heart at this moment:
Ninety thousand Pengcheng wind is rising, Penglai this time there is not much road.
Cut and cut the plum blossoms reflecting the fragrance of snow, and experience the wind and rain of green bamboos.
The lofty sentiments float in the golden cup, and the true children weep on the road.
With a heart of pity, I took the appointment under the moon, and the great responsibility of heaven was frozen to death.
