He stood where he was, gritted his teeth, turned around and went back into the restaurant, asked for a bottle of beer and a glass at the front desk, asked about Huo Qianli's private room, and ran up to the second floor.
Knocking on the door respectfully, he walked in with a smile, "Officer Huo, excuse me for interrupting you. I have something to tell you."
Two minutes later, Liu Shuai came out with an empty bottle, feeling relaxed, burped loudly, and walked out the door happily.
In the private room, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. A photographer said speechlessly, "You young people in the village have watched too many Young and Dangerous movies, right? They even think of fighting?"
"That's nothing!" Gu Haitao chuckled, "In junior high school, if two people bumped shoulders while walking, or looked at each other for a second, a fight might break out. People in society have to maintain their reputation!"
Liu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, "Stupid! Boring!"
......
In another private room, Brother Hu had already gotten over his earlier shock and said with disdain, "Look, this is the kind of person who just hangs around in the countryside. He has no motivation at all! He brags a lot, but gets scared when he really encounters something."
The rest of the people remained silent, because although they smoked and drank, they were actually honest children.
Ahem, I'm not kidding. In that environment, smoking or something like that really has nothing to do with being a bad thing.
The restlessness created by the alcohol in the atmosphere disappeared without a trace, and my heart was calm at this moment, and I even felt a little fortunate.
Fortunately, it didn’t really get out of hand, otherwise I really don’t know how it would have ended.
But like Gu Haitao said, they didn't think there was anything ridiculous about what happened today. It was normal for Brother Hu to fight with someone who didn't give him face.
Seeing that no one was saying anything, Brother Hu sighed in boredom, "This is pointless! Let's go eat barbecue!"
"Brother Hu, forget it, it's already past eight o'clock."
"That's right, it's so late!"
Brother Hu clicked his tongue impatiently, "I wonder if you guys are hanging out there? Normally we get off work around 7 or 8, so that's the perfect time to have fun! Why are you so late?"
Some people also laughed and said, "That's right, it's a rare opportunity for us to get together. In a few days, each family will start celebrating the New Year, and then we will leave again. So today we can let loose and have fun!"
As they spoke, the group stood up, paid the bill, and went to the barbecue stall.
On the way, Gu Chao thought about it and decided to implement Huo Qianli's policy of good performance. He called the village store and asked the boss to tell his mother and father that he would not be back until eleven or twelve o'clock and not to worry.
After eight o'clock, most shops in Qianfu Town have closed, leaving only some supermarkets, pharmacies and the like still open. As for the barbecue stall, it is the only one that has remained strong in the town for many years.
It was Chinese New Year and the barbecue stall was doing good business. A family of three was busy in front of the grill. The child was responsible for wiping the table, setting up the benches and bringing beer for everyone. The woman was responsible for helping out and mixing in some snacks like sweet potatoes. The man in charge of the grilling skewers had his face almost turned into bacon from the smoke, and was golden yellow.
The six of them picked a place to sit down, ordered a lot of skewers, and then sat down to talk.
Barbecue stalls always have a magical charm. Once you sit down, you will feel relaxed and comfortable. Everyone drinks and chats, which is quite pleasant.
As we were drinking, three men and two women came in and sat down at an empty table in the corner.
Brother Hu's smile faded and he whispered to everyone, "Do you know him? Chen Jianjun!"
Everyone's faces changed. This was the legendary figure among their junior high school classmates, a big gangster who was more powerful than Liu Shuai. People of Brother Hu's level couldn't even talk to him.
If Gu Gang were here, he might be able to discover that this was Brother Chen, who had called him a brother and even been a fellow traveler with him a few months ago!
As soon as Chen Jianjun arrived, everyone who was originally relaxed became a little restless and dared not talk. After drinking a few glasses of tasteless wine, they began to want to leave.
Suddenly, a man opened his eyes wide. In his eyes, the tall Chen Jianjun stood up with a wine bottle in his hand, walked past two tables, and stopped next to their table!
"Zhan Hu?"
Brother Hu trembled, and quickly stood up, bowed and smiled: "Brother Jun!"
"Have a seat!" Chen Jianjun smiled kindly. "I haven't seen you for years. Where did you make your fortune?"
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Chen Jianjun dragged over a small stool and sat down at their table. Following Brother Hu's introduction, he toasted everyone one by one.
Everyone was so flattered, the memories of their school days were deeply engraved in their minds, and the legendary figure of the school took the initiative to toast them, the feeling of satisfaction was indescribable.
Then, at Chen Jianjun's suggestion, they directly shared the table with Chen Jianjun's. Chen Jianjun told the boss generously that the bill would be on his behalf.
With the boss inviting them and beautiful women by their side, the young people from Hushan Village were so happy that their cheeks flushed from drinking.
After eating for a while, Chen Jianjun smiled and said, "I've had a good meal. Boss, let's find a place to play some cards to sober up?"

Three thousand words more to come, I’m so sincere, I’ll just stand there with my hands on my hips and brag for a while.
