(Thanks to Fengxue Yiling for the 1,000-coin reward. This chapter was expanded due to the reward from the two brothers.)

The protagonists in TV dramas usually wake up in hospitals in this situation, with a huge crowd at the bedside, and whether they are relatives or not, expressing their warm concern.

This routine obviously did not suit Wan Feng. He woke up before he even reached the hospital and found himself not lying on the hospital bed but on Liu He's back.

This made Wan Feng very dissatisfied. They both grew up eating cornmeal pancakes, so why was there such a big difference in their cooking styles?

"Where is my bicycle?" The first thing Wan Feng asked about when he woke up was his bicycle.

"Are you awake? Your bike brothers are pushing you in the back."

Hearing that the bicycle was fine, Wan Feng felt relieved: "Put me down, I'm fine. Where's Brother Xia?"

"Brother, I'm here." Xia Qiulong's voice came from behind.

Xia Qiulong was supported by one of his men, and Wu was supported by two of his brothers. If there were two strips of gauze wrapped around his head, he would look like a wounded soldier coming back from the battlefield.

Wan Feng Xia Lin stretched out his arms and stretched his body to move his head and neck.

There is still a dull pain in my back, but it doesn’t seem like a big deal, at least I won’t die.

"Brother, is anything wrong? If you feel uncomfortable, let's go to the hospital."

Wan Feng shook his head: "No, it's nothing serious. Have those Wang Ans caught up?"

"Bah! They're running faster than rabbits. But it's okay, they can't escape. As long as they're still in Hongya County, they can't escape. Someone has already gone to look for them. Brother, are you sure you're okay?"

"It's really okay. Apart from a little pain in my back, I don't feel any discomfort anywhere else in my body."

"Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Wan Feng shook his head: "No, I can confirm that there is nothing wrong with my body. What about you and Wu?"

"It's just a minor skin injury."

"I hope everyone is okay."

"Okay then! Let's go to a restaurant for lunch to celebrate our survival."

So, the plan to go to the hospital was temporarily changed to going to a restaurant.

Xia Qiulong's home is in the residential area of ​​a textile printing and dyeing factory near the county hospital. Across the street from the entrance of the textile printing and dyeing factory is a state-owned hotel: Hongya Hotel.

Celebrate the school in this hotel

There were ten people at the table, and the food was draft beer at 15 cents a glass.

If Wan Feng doesn't drink alcohol, he drinks soda instead.

Xia Qiulong came up to give a toast: "Today, my five brothers and I encountered a disaster. We thought we were doomed, but unexpectedly, Brother Wan rushed out to save us at the critical moment. Come, let's raise a toast to Brother Wan!"

Wan Feng quickly stood up and said, "Let me say this: this isn't my credit. First of all, I have to thank Fifth Brother for his dedication and Brother Xia for his improvisation. Secondly, I also want to thank Brother Liu He. If he hadn't called for help in time, we would all be in trouble today. This glass of wine is dedicated to Brother Liu He."

As a person who has lived for decades, Wan Feng still has some emotional intelligence. Everyone is carrying the sedan chair, and it's good for you, me, and everyone.

Liu He's face flushed with excitement: "No, no, it's all the result of the brothers' concerted efforts. Go for it!"

After downing a glass of wine, Xia Qiulong raised the next glass and said, "I didn't expect Brother Wan to appear by the river today. He even charged forward desperately, significantly delaying the time it took for Li Gu and Wang An to make their move, thus allowing Liu He to arrive. I declare that from now on, Wan is my real brother. Come and die for my real brother!"

"Fuck!" The shouts of more than a dozen people almost blew the roof off.

After his second drink, Xia Qiulong boasted, "A few years ago, I beat Wang An, that Li Gu, into a movie theater because he was a hooligan. Later, he brought people to seek revenge, but I beat him away again. At that time, I told him to beat him up every time I saw him in Hongya. So he ran off to Fu County and seems to be doing well. This time he's back for revenge. Find him and destroy him tomorrow!"

"Yes, destroy him. Red Cliff is our territory. Who does he think he is?"

This is a bit far-fetched. If Li Gu really had a place to stay in Fu County, he would have already boarded the bus to Fu County by now. Where can you find him?

Wan Feng wanted to remind Xia Qiulong, but when he thought it was too late, he didn't say anything.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone ate, drank and boasted.

A bunch of hooligans drinking together probably have nothing else to talk about except bragging.

Wan Feng is not interested in fighting and killing.

"Brother Xia! How do you make a living by wandering around like this? Is there any way to make money?"

Xia Qiulong rubbed his head and said, "Aren't we all unemployed young people? We're just sitting around doing nothing, so how can we make any money?"

Others are unemployed young people, but you shouldn’t be considered one, because you have a job but you don’t work it.

In the 1980s, people who were hanging around in society really had no industry to provide them with an economic source. No one asked them to fight for their lives, and no one asked them to collect money or debts. The market was full of state-owned businesses and there was no room for them to interfere. They could only be said to be hanging around aimlessly.

"Just rely on the housekeeper for money?"

Xia Qiulong seemed a little embarrassed.

"Brother! It's not you or me. It's understandable that Liu Hewu and the others are unemployed and have no family to worry about. If one person eats well, the whole family will not be hungry. But you are different. You have a wife and children, so you are not afraid of being idle. Brother, I don't object to being idle, but you must at least make money. If you don't have an income, you are nothing. You will be inferior to others in front of others. It's not a good thing to keep on being idle like this."

Xia Qiulong's face was a little red, not sure if it was because of drinking or because he was embarrassed.

"Brother, I used to work in a textile printing and dyeing factory, but it was full of women. I felt really uncomfortable there, and the money wasn't much, so I couldn't continue. I wanted to get a good job, but I couldn't get into a good company, so I ended up like this. I can't do anything about it."

Wan Feng thought for a moment and organized his words: "You don't have to have a good unit. Units are becoming less and less popular in the future. It doesn't matter whether you have a good unit or not. Let me find you a way out first. I hope you can make ends meet for now."

Xia Qiulong's eyes lit up: "Brother, do you have a solution?"

"We just opened a small brick and tile factory in our village. We produce red bricks, cement tiles, cement bricks, and other things, but we haven't found a good market, so we can't sell our products. You have a certain influence in the neighborhood, and you should have some connections over the years. I'd like you to use your connections to help us sell these bricks and tiles. Once they're sold, we'll give you a commission. I'll give you 2 cents for every brick sold. How about that?"

Xia Qiulong fell into deep thought. Selling bricks and tiles was not his specialty. To be honest, he didn't really care about the 2% share.
