Three or Two Things about Rebirth

It's no wonder that Yang Dawei said that. The behavior of Qin Huifang and her husband was indeed too unusual. Lu Jiaming looked jealous and glared at Xu Zhenhua who had just walked in, while Qin Huifang blushed and sat in a daze on the chair.

Qiu Luming also noticed that after Xu Zhenhua glanced at Qin Huifang, his expression looked a little uncomfortable.

She lightly kicked Qin Huifang's calf, and Qin Huifang finally recovered from her shock. She sat still, smiled reservedly and said, "Oh, the big city is here, and it scared us, a couple of ignorant people!"

After saying this, the redness on his face faded away and returned to normal.

Her words not only responded to Yang Dawei's provocation, but also promptly and effectively calmed down Lu Jiaming who was about to explode.

Qiu Luming admired Qin Huifang a little. Her current way of doing things was very similar to Qin's mother. It seemed that it was not only Qin's father who gave her the courage and confidence, but also the teachings of Qin's mother and the work experience in the new unit during this period that made her make remarkable progress.

Just as Qiu Luming thought of this, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that Qin Huifang's index finger under the table was subconsciously scratching the skin next to her thumb nail, and blood was already oozing out.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, is the destructive power of first love so strong? How many years have passed, and she still can't let go? She also thought self-deprecatingly that compared with Han Meifen and Qin Huifang, she should be a ruthless person. When Xie Zhi appeared, she couldn't help herself and couldn't sleep at night, but later she found that they really couldn't be together, so she gave up. When Fei Yuanhang appeared, she quickly put Xie Zhi behind her; when she found that she couldn't be with Fei Yuanhang either, although she was very painful, she also let him go quickly. As for Sergei, she let him go without hesitation.

Then I heard Qin Huifang say in a very polite tone, "Xu Zhenhua, you are back, welcome! We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we must have a good reunion this time. Let me introduce you, this is Han Meifen, not long after you left, we absorbed new members, so it is still the Jiayang Seven Monsters, this is her husband Fu Xinyang, also an employee of the Grain Bureau, they are going to have a baby soon! This is Lin Haiying, Lao Ma's fiancée, their new house has been decorated, and they will get married after the New Year; this is Li Lu, who is much younger than us and is Yang Dawei's girlfriend. This guy is not genuine, and he only targets young girls!"

As Qin Huifang introduced them, Xu Zhenhua politely nodded to each of his new friends.

Although old friends need no introduction, Xu Zhenhua was quite decisive when he left that year, so the scene was still a bit awkward at this moment.

Everyone sat down. On Qiu Luming's left were Qin Huifang and Lu Jiaming, and on his right were Xu Zhenhua and Zheng Wei. The rest of the people sat in pairs.

Most of the dishes were served soon. Ma Mingjun sat opposite Qiu Luming and raised her glass from a distance. Qiu Luming said quickly, "No, no, why don't you sit somewhere else? You originally used me as an excuse to get together, why do you take it so seriously now?"

Qiu Luming really felt that sitting between Qin Huifang and Xu Zhenhua was a torture, and she had a premonition that today's party would definitely end in a bad mood.

"Please sit down!" Ma Mingjun quickly stood up and asked her to sit down.

Qin Huifang also pulled her to sit down, "Just sit down. Who cares about seats now? Besides, we grew up together. We don't need any reason to get together, just to have fun! Right?"

"Yes, yes." Fu Xinyang agreed.

"Yes, yes." Han Meifen also nodded.

"Anyway, I'm very happy!" Yang Dawei grinned and looked at Lu Jiaming, who was obviously unhappy, with ill intent.

These two have always been at odds with each other since they were young, and they always fight when they meet. Lu Jiaming recently discovered two new words on TV and in books, one is impotence and the other is Viagra. So he made fun of Yang Dawei in front of everyone, calling him Viagra all the time, and completely ignored Zheng Wei who also had a gloomy face.

Yang Dawei didn't get angry at that time, but just nodded at Lu Jiaming with a sneer.

So today, it’s Yang Dawei’s revenge?

Ma Mingjun interrupted Yang Dawei and loudly urged everyone to drink and eat, but Qiu Luming felt that it was a good time to end the party now, otherwise, after these people had drunk, he would not know how to end it!

Xu Zhenhua refused to drink, saying that he had to go to work, but Yang Dawei didn't care. "It's Saturday today, which company will do the work for you? Why, now that you're in the big city, you look down on the buddies you grew up with? It doesn't matter whether you want to drink or not. I'll drink first, and you can do whatever you want!"

They were all childhood friends, so everyone knew how much each other could drink. Ma Mingjun and the others probably remembered how heartless Xu Zhenhua was when he left, so no one tried to stop Yang Dawei for him. In this way, no matter how much he tried to refuse, Xu Zhenhua was still forced to drink nearly half a pound of liquor by Yang Dawei.

Finally, under Yang Dawei's offensive of drinking and flattery, Xu Zhenhua opened up. He relaxed completely, staring at a plate of food on the table, smiling and talking about the good memories of his student days. Then he sat up straight and talked about his experiences in Shanghai over the past five years, how he and his brother had to squeeze in the attic due to the harassment of relatives, how people laughed at his accent, how he had reached his current position step by step through his own efforts, and looked forward to the future with great pride.

In fact, Xu Zhenhua's father is only 50 years old. He has just been promoted from deputy director of the Transportation Bureau to director. He is basically the youngest director in Jiayang. If Xu Zhenhua stays in Jiayang, with his father's protection, his life will be as easy and comfortable as everyone else.

But everyone has their own aspirations. It is understandable that he yearns for a broader future and does not want to be confined to a small frontier town all his life, leading a stress-free life of mediocrity.

Xu Zhenhua suddenly smiled at Qiu Luming, "Why are you sighing? Are you feeling sorry for me?"

"Did I sigh?"

"You sighed. You sighed when I talked about my proudest moment!" Xu Zhenhua was already a little drunk. He pointed at Qiu Luming and said, "You were the one with the worst grades back then, and you are the most relaxed one now! God is really unfair!"

Qiu Luming smiled and said, "I'm lucky."

"You have a good life, but you should cherish it! Qiu Luming, are you crazy? You don't want to go to Beijing or Harbin, but insist on staying in Jiayang. You went to Moscow to study, and now you're back? Alas, you are just a pig that can't eat fine bran..."

"Pa!" Xu Zhenhua received a slap on the back of his head, neither light nor heavy, and jumped up reflexively.

"You fucking hit me?" This slap actually brought back Xu Zhenhua's northeastern accent, and he pointed at Zheng Wei angrily.

"I hit you, so what! Just drink if you want to, why are you swearing?" Zheng Wei pulled his collar, shook his head, and stood up.

"Hey, it's just a joke." Qiu Luming gestured to Zheng Wei.

Ma Mingjun also walked over and pushed Zheng Wei to sit down, "Brother, it shouldn't be that serious, it's so hot!"

He then advised Xu Zhenhua, "Don't bother with him. He has had this bad temper since he was a child. You know that!"

"Fuck, it's just me. I won't bother with you!" Xu Zhenhua sat on the chair and glared at Zheng Wei.

After all, they were not young anymore. They looked at each other, clinked their glasses together, and took a sip of wine. "Okay, no more words!"

The matter was over. Qiu Luming breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his watch. "Oh, I have something to do tomorrow. I have to prepare today. No, no, I have to go home." He stood up and was about to go around Qin Huifang. "Where is your Bingbing?"

Qin Huifang was distracted. Before she could react, Yang Dawei slammed the table and said, "What are you doing? What's going on in your company in the middle of winter? Are you allocating another house or furniture? If you have furniture tickets, don't just give them to Lao Ma, give one to me too! Stop! Are you going on another blind date? Damn it, you've let me pick all the guys in Jiayang. Can you still pick one?"

Xu Zhenhua laughed, "You really have to rely on blind dates! No one is pursuing you?"

Qiu Luming laughed and didn't respond. She walked towards the door. Yang Dawei stopped her in one step, "Don't leave!"

"Tsk! Stop it! Li Lu, please take care of him!"

Li Lu didn't talk much today and looked a little dazed. She shook her head helplessly, "Sister Qiu, I can't control him."

"Who can control me! No one can control me!" Yang Dawei shouted, leaning against the door of the private room, pointing at Qiu Luming, drunk, "Can you do it? You let Fei Yuanhang mess you up? There are no three-legged frogs, but there are three-legged men everywhere! Where can you go? You can't just leave yourself alone..."

"Pa" Yang Dawei was slapped in the face, this time it was not light, he covered his face, "Don't hit people in the face, Zheng Wei you are a fucking mad dog!"

Zheng Wei didn't say anything either, and punched Yang Dawei in the nose again while he was yelling. Qiu Luming only felt a flash of red light before his eyes, and Yang Dawei's nose was bleeding profusely.
