"What are you talking about? We're brothers, what's money to us!"
"It's already very kind of you to even think of us. How could we let you go through all that trouble and expense? Wouldn't you be at a huge disadvantage then!"
"Come on, what do you mean by losing out? You and Lao Qian spent less money on me before, and I didn't hold you accountable back then!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. I really like this gift, thanks!"
"That's right, we're brothers, why be so formal? You made me think you've made some new friends here and don't want to be my brother anymore!"
"Don't talk nonsense! The three of us are inseparable, we grew up together since we were kids. In my heart, you and Lao Qian will always be my best buddies!"
"With you saying that, my trip wasn't in vain. If Old Qian heard that, he'd be laughing in his sleep!"
"Sigh... I wonder how Lao Qian is doing now?"
Ye Haochen, Xu Zhengyuan, and Qian Weiyi grew up together and lived in the same residential compound. Their relationship was truly inseparable.
Unfortunately, things change, just as the moon waxes and wanes, and people experience joys and sorrows. To alleviate the pressure on his family and take care of his grandfather, Ye Haochen chose to go to the countryside as an educated youth.
However, due to a family tragedy, Qian Weiyi and her family were sent to a farm for labor reform.
Only Xu Zhengyuan stayed in Beijing and is now a truck driver, traveling all year round. He can also visit his childhood friend during business trips.
"Don't worry, I secretly went to see Lao Qian's place. So far, they're managing okay. My dad is also helping to figure things out. Maybe they'll be able to go back someday!"
"I hope so, but you should also tell Uncle Xu not to be too reckless. You know, although things aren't as tight these past two years, we can't let our guard down! If we're not careful, something terrible could happen!"
"Don't worry, the old man is cautious. He just happened to get on the coattails of a high-ranking leader by chance. He won't do anything reckless."
"That's good. I'm just glad you're all doing well."
"The way you're talking is so old-fashioned. I feel like you've become a completely different person since you went to the countryside this time."
"Get out of here, what nonsense are you talking about? It was just a momentary feeling."
"Alright, let's not talk about those unhappy things anymore. It's rare for us to get together, so let's drink until we drop today, brother! I'm leaving tomorrow, and who knows when I'll be back here again!"
"Alright, let's drink! We won't leave until we're drunk!"
Ye Haochen put aside his worries, picked up his glass, and drank heartily with Xu Zhengyuan.
