Su Nian was afraid of oversleeping, so she set an alarm on her pager, but she was so tired that when the pager rang, she turned it off in a daze.

Su Nian didn't know how long she had slept. Chu Beichen's house faced south and was very warm. It was already the second month of the lunar calendar and the weather was getting hotter day by day. Su Nian wrapped herself in a quilt, feeling warm and cozy, and slept more soundly.

In a daze, Su Nian felt something pecking at her face gently, "Well, go away!" In a trance, she felt that she was sleeping on the grass in the suburbs, and these creatures pecking at her should be naughty little woodpeckers!

"Su Nian, it's time to get up. If you sleep any longer you will oversleep!" Chu Beichen's voice rang out, with a smile in it.

Su Nian slowly opened his eyes, "What time is it?"

"It's almost six o'clock in the evening!" Chu Beichen held back his laughter and showed Su Nian his watch.

"Oh," Su Nian struggled to sit up, and it took a long time before she really woke up.

They had no appetite for lunch, but had a good sleep in the afternoon. Su Nian and Chu Beichen both had good appetites, so they decided to go to the night market for beer and barbecue, and also made an appointment with Chu Beichen's colleagues, Ye Bei and his wife.

There were a lot of people at the night market, so they found a relatively quiet barbecue restaurant and sat down. Ye Bei pointed to the shelves with dishes and said to his wife, "Xiao Zhou, you and Miss Su go pick some dishes!"

Ye Bei's wife Xiao Zhou is a woman who loves to laugh. She is very hardworking. Not only does she take care of the housework properly, she also runs the pharmacy on her own. According to Ye Bei, the profit of this pharmacy is much higher than his salary!

The couple still lives on the second floor of the pharmacy, not because they have no money, but for the convenience of taking care of the pharmacy.

Watching the two women chatting and laughing as they went to choose their dishes, Chu Beichen waved over the waiter, "Eight bottles of beer, four cold and four hot!"

The barbecue was nothing more than beef, pork, squid, chicken wings and other things. Su Nian and Xiao Zhou chose a large plate and asked the waiter to grill it.

Chu Beichen ordered vinegar powder and peanuts and poured beer into a glass. "Come on, beer barbecue is standard. You two have worked hard, you must have a drink!"

Xiao Zhou was very generous and agreed immediately, "Don't give me cold beer, I drink room temperature beer!"

Su Nian smiled and refused: "I'm drunk after one glass, so I don't want to drink anymore!"

Ye Bei pointed at Chu Beichen and said, "Don't be afraid if you fall, Xiao Chu will carry you back!"

The last time they sold medicine, they had met each other and felt that they got along very well. Now they are both colleagues and business partners, so Chu Beichen invited the couple to drink and have barbecue together. This is a good opportunity to enhance their relationship.

After a few drinks, everyone started talking more. When Ye Bei learned that Chu Beichen wanted to open a pharmacy, he slapped his thigh and said, "Brother Chu, it's really too polite of you not to come to me about this matter!"

Chu Beichen was delighted, knowing that Ye Bei probably had connections, and immediately clinked his cup with his, "I'm just worried about causing you trouble."

"What are you talking about? We're all brothers," Ye Bei said, taking a bite of a chicken wing. "To tell you the truth, I have the resources for a storefront. Tomorrow is the weekend, so I'll take you guys to see it! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Chu Beichen felt guilty after hearing this. He had come here sincerely to treat Ye Bei, not to trouble him! However, Ye Bei had mentioned that he had a room available, so he just accepted the favor. It was a good thing to take their friendship to the next level!

We had a very pleasant drink and it didn’t end until after ten o’clock!
