"You're already engaged? Congratulations!"
Lin Yifeng smiled and raised his hand to congratulate Zhang Simin. Looking at the large bags and packages he had brought from Qingxulou on the table, he suggested, "Old Zhang is engaged, so let's celebrate tonight and treat it as Old Zhang's wedding feast, how about it?"
Since there was no better time than now, Lin Yifeng suggested having a get-together in the dormitory and drinking Lao Zhang's wedding wine together.
Old Zhang opened his mouth but couldn't say anything in rebuttal, while his other roommates became excited upon hearing this.
Let's get it done!
"Brother Feng brought some food and drinks, so we just need to buy some more alcohol!"
"I'm going to buy some wine. Hey, where's Lao Guo? He's been acting really strange lately. Lao Lin isn't here, and I don't know what Lao Guo does all day. He doesn't come back to the dorm until 11 or 12 at night. Luckily, we're all graduating soon, and the dorm auntie doesn't lock the doors at night anymore, otherwise Lao Guo definitely wouldn't be able to come back!"
"Let me see if I can get some more food. The cafeteria is closed. How about we go to the convenience store to buy something?"
One by one, the roommates got moving. Seeing this, Lin Yifeng smiled and said, "You guys go buy some barware and a deck of cards to play some games."
"Oh, and get two more flashlights, so we can see everything if the power goes out."
"I'll go find Lao Guo and ask him to bring back some more food!"
"By the way, guys, get some money ready. If we don't give Lao Zhang a red envelope, we won't be allowed to attend his wedding!"
Lin Yifeng said with a smile. Upon hearing this, Zhang Simin waved her hands frantically, indicating that she didn't need any red envelopes or anything.
...
Lin Yifeng rode his old-fashioned bicycle back to the Wallace store and used the store's phone to call the Wallace train station branch.
"This is Lin Yifeng. Let Guo Fengsheng answer the phone."
Guo Fengsheng was undoubtedly busy at the Wallace train station store. This guy truly treated Wallace as his own, working until 11 or 12 o'clock every night before returning to his dormitory.
"Brother Feng?"
On the other end of the phone, Guo Fengsheng's surprised voice came quickly, and Lin Yifeng replied with a smile: "Old Zhang from the dormitory is getting married soon. We're having a get-together in the dormitory tonight to drink Old Zhang's wedding wine."
Come back quickly, and remember to bring back some food, lots of it, so we don't run out of food before we've had our fill of drinking.
"Haha, Brother Feng, you're back! I was wondering when you would come back, but I didn't expect you to be back today."
"Okay, Feng, tell the guys in the dorm I'll be there in half an hour at most!"
"Okay, drive carefully!"
Lin Yifeng hung up the phone, wondering if he should buy himself a mobile phone.
He can't possibly run to Wallace and use Wallace's landline every time he needs to make a phone call.
"I wouldn't mind buying a pager these days, but a mobile phone..."
"A mobile phone is equivalent to a house or a shop, and I really can't bear to part with it."
Lin Yifeng was genuinely reluctant to buy a mobile phone; not only was it expensive, but it was also too big.
People who walk around with a mobile phone might think it's a sign of showing off.
But if you ask someone from a later generation to walk on a brick that can only make phone calls...
You're an idiot!
Do you see anyone in later generations walking around with a tablet on the street for no reason?
......
Whenever a get-together is mentioned, the group of guys in the dorm get incredibly enthusiastic. After Lin Yifeng finished making the call, he rode his old bicycle to buy some cigarettes and alcohol. When he returned to the dorm, he found that the group of guys had somehow borrowed a broken desk from another dorm and were using it on the existing broken desk.
Two dilapidated desks were placed together, taking up a large part of the dormitory space. The dormitory set up the food that Lin Yifeng had brought back on the dining table, waiting for Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng.
"Brother Feng is here!"
"I bought a basket of beer, is that enough?"
"I bought one bottle of white liquor, is that enough?"
Zhou Liangang and Liu Fugui each bought a basket of beer and a bottle of baijiu. Lin Yifeng glanced at it and saw that the baijiu was Baiquanchun, a locally produced liquor.
"I also brought some wine."
Lin Yifeng hasn't bought Moutai or similar brands for a long time. He buys local liquor instead, but it's more expensive than Baiquanchun.
"We're just missing Lao Guo! We're just missing Lao Guo!"
"What on earth is Lao Guo busy with? We haven't seen him for days on end!"
As his roommates were shouting, Lin Yifeng chuckled and tossed a cigarette onto the table, which immediately caused a scramble among the group.
Everyone in the dormitory was waiting for Guo Fengsheng, but Guo Fengsheng didn't keep them waiting. More than twenty minutes later, he returned, panting and carrying large and small bags of things.
Guo Fengsheng is very rich.
He was the richest person in the dormitory besides Lin Yifeng. Although he had only been working at Wallace for less than a month, he already had more than four thousand yuan in cash.
This amount of over four thousand is the profit share from the Wallace train station shop.
To motivate his employees, Lin Yifeng set the profit-sharing system to be paid out daily, rather than monthly, before opening the store.
For example, Xu Qingyi and his sister Xu Wanxia own a share of the net profits from the Wallace (Hebei Vocational University) store. Lin Yifeng gives Xu Qingyi and Xu Wanxia a share of the profits every day. Now, the two siblings have at least 10,000 yuan in cash.
Guo Fengsheng also believes that among all of Wallace's stores, the one near the train station has the highest revenue.
After all, the train station has a very large passenger flow, and the Wallace train station store is open 24 hours a day, which allowed Guo Fengsheng to have more than 4,000 yuan in cash in less than a month.
With money in hand, Guo Fengsheng was incredibly diligent and proactive at work. If Lin Yifeng hadn't called him and asked him to come back to the dormitory for Lao Zhang's wedding, he probably wouldn't have returned until after midnight tonight.
"Old Guo is here!"
"Old Guo, what have you been doing all this time? I haven't seen you anywhere!"
"In our dorm, Lao Lin is one, Lao Guo is another, and you two are like dragons, you're rarely seen! We never see you guys again!"
"Old Guo brought so much food, wow, so much Wallace! Old Guo, are you working at Wallace with Brother Feng?"
All eyes in the dormitory were on Lao Guo, who, like Lin Yifeng, just chuckled and didn't say a word.
"Old Guo is here. All eight of us from the dorm are finally together. Let's stop with the small talk and have a toast first."
Zhou Liangang suggested, and he popped open the bottle of liquor and filled the plastic cup with it.
A bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) couldn't even fill eight plastic cups. Lin Yifeng glanced at Guo Fengsheng and raised his hand to press down on one of the cups.
"Old Guo, can you still drink?"
"Half a glass, I'll just drink half a glass as a gesture!"
Guo Fengsheng said that he had drunk so much alcohol that he vomited blood before, so he had some resistance to alcohol. But now that everyone in the dormitory was raising their glasses, he thought about it and felt that it would be inappropriate not to drink.
"Then don't drink it, have a beverage instead."
Lin Yifeng nodded and said to Zhou Liangang, who was pouring the wine, "Don't pour any for Lao Guo, he can't drink."
