Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

The pride of the northerners can be fully demonstrated at the wine table. Lunch was held at the Muslim restaurant. More than a dozen people were seated in two groups. Luo Jianqiang stared at the two bottles of Maotai and refused to let others touch them. The apprentices brought the medicinal wine they brewed to entertain everyone. .

Heroes all like wine. As expected, although Gao Luo and the two had already rubbed safflower oil and were still grinning from time to time, they could not drink less wine. They drank until there was smoke on the top of their heads and their tongues were tied. The whole process of drinking, They were all listening to Gao Hongda, Li Jie and Luo Jianqiang take turns bragging about their heroic feats. Of the fifty-six ethnic groups in the country, 55 are good at singing and dancing after drinking, but only one ethnic group can only clap and brag after drinking too much.

Li Jie talked about his fighting experience in southern Xinjiang and his comrades who sacrificed their lives. The iron-clad man couldn't help crying. Gao Hongda stood up, signaled everyone to be quiet, raised his glass and said affectionately: "I was still young during the war. I have not been able to witness the battlefield in person, but I have admired the soldiers who fought for the country since I was a child. They are real men and real heroes. There are no peaceful times, only peaceful countries. There are no quiet years when there are people who bear the burden for us. Okay, let’s celebrate the heroes with this thin glass of wine!”

After speaking, he poured the wine on the ground, and everyone stood up and followed suit.

Li Jie was moved to tears, pulled his son, pointed at Gao Hongda and said: "From today on, he is your uncle, dear! Call someone!"

This made Li Yulong stunned for a moment. He was almost the same age, how could he lose his seniority after drinking one drink, but under his father's power, he had to lower his head and call him uncle. Gao Hongda was also startled. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly took out the money. Li Jie stretched out his hand to stop him, but Gao Hongda forcefully said: "It's for the kids, it's for the kids!"

Why is this line so familiar?

It was finally time to talk about business. Gao Hongda expressed his request: "Brother Li, I have something to ask you for help. I have a few front houses that need to be renovated. I want you to find someone to do it for me at a favorable price. I'll come up with the drawings before the winter vacation, you help me get it done, don't worry about money, we just have a lot of money and are thick-skinned!"

Li Jie quickly asked his son to pour wine and use a bowl. Before anyone could react, Gao Hongda pretended to be cool again. He picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Luo Jianqiang felt a toothache from seeing this. He must have been reincarnated in a fucking wine barrel. , In fact, Gao Hongda regretted it after drinking it. Even with such a bowl of water, his stomach felt uncomfortable. He knew that he was not Wu Song and did not have such a big belly, but since he had pretended, he had to pretend to the end, so he continued Shouting: "Keep loading!"

No one can stop him.

Li Jie covered the mouth of his bowl and said, "Brother, drink less. I took over the decoration. You are helping me. I will pour it now!"

Luo Jianqiang couldn't stand it anymore: "That's enough for you two. This is the tonic wine I've been brewing for five years. It's an aphrodisiac! You drank it as water for me, right?"

Gao Hongda laughed loudly: "Brothers, please let me do it. I'm weak and I need to replenish my body!" It was obvious that he was drunk. Anyone looking for a drink at the wine table would be someone who was too drunk and said he couldn't drink. Then It's not in place.

When he brought the bowl to his mouth again, the remaining lucidity warned him: "Pretending forcefully is the most deadly!"

Then an idea came to him, and he raised the bowl to the sky with both hands: "After paying tribute to the heroes, I would like to pay tribute to our ancestors for their bravery, bravery, ancient ways, unparalleled martial arts, and their fame will be passed down to future generations!" After saying this, half the bowl of wine was spilled on the ground, and Luo Jianqiang took the lead in applauding with tears.

"Farewell to the conscience of heaven and earth. When you are alive and the grass and trees are springing up, you don't seek to be heard and spread all over the world, but you seek to have a clear conscience, to be worthy of heaven above, to be worthy of the earth below, and to be worthy of relatives and friends in the middle!" Li Jie took the lead in applauding.

"Done!" Gao Hongda finally licked the wine in the bowl! This performance was flawless, and he learned all the plot points in this TV series.

"Brothers are really good-natured. It's so cool! All the brothers are here to testify that we three brothers are here to sworn brothers!" Luo Jianqiang's emotions came over. Under the influence of alcohol, he pulled Gao and Li half-naked against the wall. The portrait of a foreign woman kowtowed eight times. If her hands and feet were not in control, she would have climbed up to the moon according to the light beam of the flashlight to catch Chang'e and drink with her.

The guests and hosts had a great time, drank a lot, and everyone helped each other out of the hotel. It was already dark, and the whole afternoon was spent drinking. Everyone was staggering around, and only the three bosses could keep walking in a straight line.

After dismissing everyone, the three of them sat down to drink tea. Gao Hongda said jokingly: "Senior Brother Luo's inner martial arts is really good. He forced the wine to his forehead and missed it. There was still smoke coming from the top of his head! He's not afraid of going crazy."

Luo Jianqiang couldn't stand it anymore and quickly changed the subject: "Old Li, you always say that a strong dragon can't defeat a local snake, but you saw it today, it's not like a strong dragon can't cross the river!"

Lao Li sighed and said: "There are talented people from generation to generation, and our era is coming to an end!"

Gao Hongda said modestly: "I hope these two brothers can give me some guidance on the road ahead. Brother, I am young and short-sighted. After all, being brave and fighting is no longer the right path. In just a few decades of life, I must make achievements and earn a lot of money." Money is king, and in this eastern suburbs, the potential is infinite, but the local forces are too complex, and it is too difficult to gain a foothold."

Li Jie continued: "Don't worry about this. From now on, don't worry about black and white here. With your two brothers alive, I guarantee that no one dares to mess with you. Even if there are three or two who are not easy to mess with, we can still Speaking of which, let’s take the local boss Jiang Tianlu as an example. He is also my brother. My fifth brother, dear, is the director of the local branch. Your senior brother’s uncle is a powerful figure in our city. Don’t worry and go. Go ahead, whenever you get a chance to make a fortune, don’t forget to take your unlucky nephew with you, he’ll be fooling around all day long and it’ll make you miserable!”

Gao Hongda was secretly happy. Sure enough, he had many friends and many paths, so he solemnly said: "After finishing my work before the year, I will conduct an in-depth investigation of the market and start working on real estate and building materials in the future. The boss behind me gave me A lot of permissions and financial support allow me to work hard and train on my own. It would be hard to explain if I lose." This is completely bragging. What kind of background does he have?

Luo Jianqiang suddenly understood and said to Lao Li: "Lao Li, what did I say? This guy must have a lot of background. He can even nod like a peacock in Hongmen. Can you tell me a little bit about your relationship with Hongmen?"

In line with the principle of showing off to the end, Gao Hongda smiled mysteriously: "We are all Hongmen brothers. Some can speak and some cannot. I forgive you, brother, but I can guarantee that Hongmen is a patriotic group from beginning to end."

The two expressed their understanding and asked no further questions. I felt a lot of fear in my heart. This guy was really and really scary. I would rather believe it.

So I say that the highest level of pretense is to reveal a little bit of information and then continue to remain mysterious.

I took Lao Li's car back to the eastern suburbs under the stars. Lao Li's speed was not high. He deliberately slowed down because he was drinking. At that time, the detection of drunk driving was not particularly strict. Gao Hongda, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the meteor flashing past Ye Hongzhong and narrowed his eyes. What kind of meteor was that? It was clearly a UFO. Sure enough, many things in this world are not what everyone sees, and there is not only one planet on earth. intelligent creatures survive.

He chatted with Lao Li as if nothing had happened. When passing by a wasteland, he asked Lao Li to stop the car and asked him to take a pee. The two stood on the side of the road watering the weeds. After finishing, Gao Hongda pointed to the wasteland and said, "Brother Li, what is this land used for? Why is it still wasteful!"

Li Jie took a look and told him: "This land has been deserted for decades, with only grass growing but no crops. I heard that it used to be a place where Japanese soldiers killed people, and no one dared to live there, so they just abandoned it. It's a bit far from the town. Developers don’t like it.”

Gao Hongda was a little excited and said to Lao Li: "If there is a government way, I would like to take this land. It would be good to build a concrete mixing station here. Although everyone still uses self-mixed concrete, in a few years We will definitely switch to ready-mix concrete in the future.”

Lao Li also became interested, patted the steering wheel and said, "Okay, I'll run this one. I'll call you when I know something."

"If this thing comes to fruition, Old Brother Li will have to help with the transportation!" Gao Hongda casually threw out a big pie.

"It's a deal!" The two high-fived and agreed.
