Chapter 29: Waking up drunk, talking about life
The woman was dressed in a dish, yellow and thin. He Zhiyou didn't wait for her to ask, and said to Lei Xiong: "This is your sister-in-law. She just came from her hometown. She entered a plastic factory a few days ago and was working on night shifts!" He introduced Lei Xiong to his wife.
Lei Xiong said apologetically: "I've had a quarrel until my sister-in-law has rested."
The woman's voice was crisp and she said anxiously: "Good brother, you are here. He talks about you every day, and I have to thank you too. You helped me save him so that we can live a normal life. If he doesn't repent, I won't live with him."
As she spoke, she glanced at He Zhiyou fiercely and lowered her head to add water to Lei Xiong's teacup.
He Zhiyou changed the topic and said, "Hongzhi, go buy some wine and food, I want to have a good drink with my brother."
Hongzhi put down the teapot and left as he said.
Although He Zhiyou's shop is small, it has a lot of business. After a while, someone pushed a cart in, some wanted to repair the tires, and some just repaired the tires or sucked the air. These car owners are young people who speak Mandarin, and they all seem to work here to make a living.
Because there was a car owner waiting, He Zhiyou started to do the work and Lei Xiong helped him. After a while, both of them were covered in oil.
He Zhiyou and his wife are both authentic Kaidu people. The dishes stir-fried by Hongzhi are originally authentic Kaidu flavor, and they are not spicy. However, in order to take care of Lei Xiong's taste, there are very few peppers, and there are two dishes that are not made of chili and are purely fried.
Lei Xiong is not careful about the details, and he has never deliberately avoided eating chili since he was a child, so he feasts on every dish. When he encounters spicy food, he smacks his tongue and continues to eat it.
Because the weather is dry in early autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so it is not advisable to drink strong liquor. Hongzhi bought two dozen beer. The couple kept raising their glasses to persuade each other, but Lei Xiong refused. They had not eaten half of the food and had already drunk several bottles of wine.
He Zhiyou felt happy and felt that it was a great blessing to make a friend Lei Xiong. The friends he had made in the past were not so friends, but rather as colluding with each other, while Lei Xiong was different. He was open and honest and honest.
Seeing that He Zhiyou was kind-hearted and was moved by his heart, Lei Xiong felt that drinking with a cup was too gentle, so he suggested taking a bowl.
This was exactly what He Zhiyou said, so he immediately took two big rice bowls and drank them one by one. No one was willing to be outdone, and they all raised their necks and drank the bowl to the sky.
Lei Xiong had been drinking since he was a child, so he naturally had a lot of alcohol. He could drink a few bowls of white wine, beer or even the old rice wine made by his mother. Because the school was strict before, students were strictly prohibited from drinking. Every time he went home to drink a little, he was scolded by his mother. After arriving at Changmei Company, he did not drink alcohol in order to comply with the regulations that security guards were not allowed to drink. Now he is in a good mood and has no choice but to drink so much. Besides, after finally having this opportunity, he naturally let go of the amount. Although he felt that beer was not as good as liquor, the guests followed the owner's wishes, and the big bowl was also very satisfying.
He Zhiyou said: "Brother, I lived in vain for the first half of my life, and I was a waste of my life."
Lei Xiong said: "Brother, don't say that. People have time to take detours, and be a down-to-earth person in the future."
He Zhiyou said: "I can see that you are a person who does big things. Although I am much older than you, I am less than one tenth of you. Come on, brother, respect you!"
Lei Xiong said: "What brother said makes me ashamed!"
He raised the wine bowl and returned to He Zhiyou, both of them drank dry in one sip.
He Zhiyou said: "Brothers can use the elder brother's place in the future and just give me a command!"
Lei Xiong drank another bowl in one breath and said, "Let's talk about the future. Even if you can't do big things, do what you like and live the life you yearn for!"
He Zhiyou nodded and asked, "Then what is the life you yearn for?"
Lei Xiong was stunned. What was the life he yearned for? It seemed that there was no standard, but in a vague way, a picture appeared in his mind: in the quiet mountain residence, he practiced martial arts and Zen, raised flowers and vegetables, and took his wife and children to enjoy the scenery in the mountains, and was indifferent and quiet.
Thinking of this, he was suddenly shocked because the image of "wife" in this picture was vaguely Yan Wu.
His face turned red to his ears. He Zhiyou saw it and thought he was drunk. He poured wine into his bowls and said, "Brother, you, a big man, drink like a girl, and blushed."
After he said this, Lei Xiong felt a fever on his face again. He raised the bowl and said, "Brother, I won't go back if I'm drunk today." He drank it all over again.
Lei Xiong didn't understand in his heart that he had vowed in front of his father to achieve something, but why did he think of living a quiet and indifferent mountain life? Which one is the true thought in his heart? Could it be that he drank too much and became confused? He pinched his face, and He Zhiyou was lowering his head and pouring wine without realizing it, saying:
"Brother, do you have anybody you like? If not, I'll let your sister-in-law introduce one to you."
Lei Xiong waved his hand quickly and said, "I appreciate my kindness from my brother. I have achieved nothing at the moment, I am afraid of implicating others." After taking a sip of wine, he said, "You just asked me what the life I yearn for is like. According to my nature, I naturally live the life I want freely, and don't want to be superior, and don't have to rely on anyone. I only want to have food and clothing, and it's enough to have a book, study and martial arts practice. Just a person can go around in the world, how can he be a simple life? If you don't leave anything, you're afraid of being a human being. As a human being, you have to be a decent person and live a decent life."
He Zhiyou raised his neck and drank the wine in the bowl in one sip, put it down, patted his palms, and said, "You are right! Don't be like me, causing your sister-in-law to work hard and work hard. After suffering all my hardships, I will never have a good life in my life."
Lei Xiong said: "Brother, if you have ambitions, you will never be old. As long as you work hard, you will always let your sister-in-law live a good life."
"Brother, what are your plans in the future?"
"I have agreed to Mr. Zhao to work in his company in a few days. In the long run, I have to do some things I have to do, and then go to Shaolin Temple to concentrate on martial arts. There is no other arrangement in this life."
"You martial arts fanatic!" Hong Zhi served the vegetables again and said, "Brother, I heard everything you said just now, it's impossible. If a young man as good as you went to Shaolin Temple to become a monk, how many girls would shed tears!"
Lei Xiong smiled and said, "My sister-in-law praised me. I am a martial artist and I am destined to make a living by martial arts."
"If you don't have to go to the place where the monk is staying after learning martial arts, you don't advise him." Hong Zhi looked at her husband and said, "Brother is your benefactor. I don't want to be rich or powerful. As long as we can live and work in peace and contentment like now, I will be content."
He said the truth after drinking, and He Zhiyou did not avoid it and said to Lei Xiong: "Your sister-in-law is a good woman. I have never been a human being in recent years, but she still never leaves me. My greatest wealth in my life is your sister-in-law, and she is my life. If she is gone one day, I will live to the end."
Lei Xiong said: "Brother, stop saying discouraged words. I wish my elder brother and sister-in-law a better life!"
He Zhiyou said: "Okay, for your words, I also swear to live a personal life!"
The more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative they became. Hong Zhi fryed two more dishes to cheer them up.
He Zhiyou said drunkenly: "Brother, I won't go back tonight, so I'll sleep with my elder brother for one night."
Lei Xiong looked up and looked outside. It turned out that it was dark. Although he had drunk a lot of wine, his mind was still very clear and said, "No, my junior brother and sister will be worried. I have been out for a day."
After saying that, I stood up and felt that my steps were a little heavy at first. After taking two steps, I returned to normal.
He looked down at the mess of cups and plates on the table, and more than twenty bottles of wine were lying on the ground. He said to the couple, "Brother, I'm leaving. Sister-in-law, I'll have to trouble you to deal with the aftermath."
Hong Zhi said: "You go slower."
He Zhiyou shook his head, lay on the table and fell asleep.
Lei Xiong accelerated his pace when he left the door and soon arrived at the gate of Changmei Company.
Cheng Renjie and Li Yun were standing down the tree opposite the road at the door and paced back, very anxious. As soon as they saw Lei Xiong, they hurriedly came forward.
Li Yun grabbed his hand and asked, "Senior Brother, where have you been? Why are you back now?"
Adult Jie said lightly: "If you don't come back, we will call the police."
Lei Xiong laughed and walked into the door, saying, "I am so happy today. All the good people and good things happened to me today."
Cheng Renjie asked: "Good thing? It depends on your alcoholic smell."
Lei Xiong was about to answer when someone answered Cheng Renjie's next sentence: "Who drank alcohol? A fine of 100 yuan!"
Cheng Renjie turned his head and saw that Ma Shijin gently slid in from outside on a motorcycle, without any sound. He stared at Cheng Renjie, his eyes full of anger and anxiety.
After observing outside the window that night, Lei Xiong was very disdainful of Ma Shijin, so he ignored him and only gave a wink at Cheng Renjie. Cheng Renjie immediately understood and stopped asking questions.
Ma Shijin turned around and said, "You guys have drunk wine?! You can get out if you don't want to do it! You'll leave tomorrow, and you won't have a penny of salary."
When Lei Xiong heard this, he stepped forward and grabbed Ma Shijin from the motorcycle.
The car had not stopped yet, and Ma Shijin was originally bulky, so he overturned to the ground with the person and the car. He screamed "Oh" and then he remembered Lei Xiong, who was usually not interested in making a fuss, which made him almost forget this and stopped talking tremblingly.
Lei Xiong said: "You'd better be honest with me!"
Adult Jie said: "Xiong, what is this doing?"
Li Yun looked at Lei Xiong with clear eyes, very puzzled.
Lei Xiong said: "Don't be afraid! You're leaving anyway!"
When Adult Jie saw Ma Shijin pressing one leg on a motorcycle, he shouted there, walked over to help him pull the car, but kicked him hard a few times. He said, "Aren't you very arrogant? I'll tear your face upset!"
Ma Shijin hurriedly covered his face with both hands and shouted: "No, Xiaocheng, don't!"
Adult Jie smiled, flicked his fist in front of him a few times, and cursed fiercely: "I don't know what the so-called dog thing."
