Chapter 79 Water



A bored voice sounded lazily. Guo Jianwu stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder. The force seemed a bit too strong, which scared the man. He reflexively stretched out his hands to grab the armrests on both sides of the chair, and his raised feet fell to the ground unnaturally, making a loud noise.

Sun Ye shifted his gaze away from the ink bamboo painting and looked squarely at the person in front of him. No matter how he looked at him, he really didn't look like Professor Liu's grandson. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were both upright and resolute people, so how could his son be so careless? Seeing him made him want to kick him twice to make him stand up straight.

Liu Weimin glared at Guo Jianwu, then slumped back in his chair, his entire body boneless, muttering, "You're inhuman! I've waited so long, and now you don't want to apologize, but don't hit me! You've already made my shoulder red."

"Wei Min, pay attention to your image." Lin Qianjin kicked Liu Wei Min's calf and reminded him.

"What image? There's no one here, so I can't relax. I think I have to maintain my elegance..."

"Stop, stop, stop. We all know this. You don't have to say any more. Your ears are getting calluses." Lin Qianjin pulled his earlobes exaggeratedly.

"Tsk, boring." Liu Weimin curled his lips.

Sun Ye also smiled and found a place to sit down, without joining in their unique greetings and small talk.

"Serve the food, I'm starving."

"Waiter, serve the food."

There were only five of us in total, and we ordered quite a few dishes, six in total and a soup. They looked greasy and delicious.

Guo Jianwu poured soda into everyone's cup. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Sun Ye and Wu Qian's cups were soda, while the three grown men's cups were wine. It was Liu Weimin who secretly stole his father's wine.

"This is the first time the five of us will have dinner together. We don't know when the next time will be. For the sake of this fate, let's go one by one."

The five people raised their glasses and clinked them together, and the crisp sound of clinking glasses rang out in front of everyone.

Sun Ye took a sip of the soda in the cup. It tasted really good. It felt like bubbles were bursting in his mouth. It had a slightly sweet taste and was very refreshing. After taking a sip, he wanted to take another one.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the soda in the cup that was constantly bubbling with transparent bubbles. He sighed in his heart that humans are so talented that they can actually make such imaginative soda.

It is very suitable to enjoy it while lying in a hanging basket on a summer afternoon. A sip of soda, a breeze, and some melon seeds will make you feel even more relaxed.

Sitting and watching the clouds roll by, just thinking about it makes my heart beat faster.

"Come, come, eat some vegetables."

Next was meal time. People of that era had no concept of wasting food, so they finished all six dishes and one soup.

Among them, Sun Ye discovered that Lin Qianjin had secretly loosened his belt and was full.

After eating, they asked the waiter to bring another plate of peanuts. How can one drink without peanuts? The three men started a new round of drinking.

To be honest, Sun Ye doesn't like the smell of alcohol. It's too strong a smell, and it can easily make people drunk. Once drunk, they can't control their nervous system and do some incredible things.

Whether it is the truth spoken after drinking or nonsense, I will politely decline your response.

"Jianwu, take care of yourself when you go. We will miss you."

Look, after Lin Qianjin drank a few glasses of wine, he started to speak with a slurred voice and couldn't speak clearly. He also walked unsteadily and even bumped into a chair after just two or three steps.

He wanted to pat Guo Jianwu's shoulder, but his hand was out of control and he slapped Guo Jianwu directly in the face. The sound of the slap was painful, and he didn't know how much force he used.

Sun Ye was stunned and couldn't help touching her face. She felt that she needed to stay away from the drunk Lin Qianjin. If she were to be treated like this, she would definitely knock Lin Qianjin to the ground.

Guo Jianwu suppressed his anger, his eyelids twitching as he pried Lin Qianjin loose from his grip and said word by word, "If that's what you're thinking, I don't want it."

"Qianjin, well done." Liu Weimin next to him blew the whistle to encourage him and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Lin Qianjin had done what he wanted to do most but did not have the courage to do.

"Qianjin, from now on, you are my brother." He staggered towards Lin Qianjin while talking drunkenly, but finally fell on Guo Jianwu.

There was a person lying on each of Guo Jianwu's shoulders, shaking hands with him through his head.

Make bad friends!

Guo Jianwu had the best alcohol tolerance. He made Lin Qianjin and Liu Weimin fall down drunk, but he was still conscious and walked steadily. If it weren't for the smell of alcohol on his body, you couldn't tell that he was drunk at all.

"Jianwu, I will remember you."

"I know."

"Qianqian, I will miss you." Lin Qianjin mumbled unclearly, and people couldn't hear what he said. Instead, Sun Ye looked at Wu Qian who was standing next to him thoughtfully.

It turns out that the person Brother Lin likes is her. That's great, they love each other, but she doesn't know when this thin layer of window paper will be broken. She doesn't want to be an unfounded imaginary enemy.

There was nothing to say to a drunkard, so Guo Jianwu simply placed Lin Qianjin across his bicycle. As for Liu Weimin, Sun Ye pushed him onto another bicycle. The three people at the door smiled at each other and pushed him back home step by step.

After everyone got home safely, Guo Jianwu sent Sun Ye back to school. Outside the school gate, Guo Jianwu called Sun Ye.

"Ye Zi, wait a moment."

"Um?"

"I'm going to Province X this time. I'm not sure of the exact location yet, but it happens to be not far from the Qianjin Brigade. Do you have anything to take back? Or do you have anything to say to Aunt Sun and the others? I can send it to you."

Sun Ye was stunned for a moment, thinking that Brother Guo was very strange at this moment. He couldn't tell what was strange about it, but when he heard that he could bring things, Sun Ye put all his thoughts aside and asked excitedly:

"Brother Guo, please wait here for a moment. I have something to send back. It will be there soon."

After Sun Ye said this, she hurried to the school and returned to the dormitory to take out some of her two buckets of water and bring it back for Sun Ma and the others to drink, to cure any illnesses and to strengthen their bodies if they were healthy.

It was a pity that she couldn't take everything away, and she was too embarrassed to actually take out two buckets of water for Brother Guo to take back.

She found a few bottles and filled them with five or six bottles. The bottles alone cost her a few cents, but it was worth it. She didn't feel bad at all about spending the money.

"Brother Guo, here, this is what I want to take back, and there is also a letter."

"This is…"

"Special medicine, healing holy product?"

Sun Ye's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: Oh no, I just forgot that I took out the same fountain of life water for Brother Guo, and then he took out five or six bottles of this. Anyone would be confused.

"Ah, this isn't it? This is the lake in the school. I thought my mom and her friends had never been to the capital, so I brought them some local specialties..."

Sun Ye didn't know whether Guo Jianwu believed her or not, but she believed it anyway. It was indeed true. It was just that the lake water was replaced with a healing product.

"Okay, I'll send it to you. If your aunts knew you were so thoughtful, they would be very pleased."

The key point is to emphasize the word "carefully".

Sun Ye just scratched his head and kept giggling, without responding to Guo Jianwu's words.

Or maybe he didn't really care what it was, he just wanted to find an excuse to meet someone in the forward brigade, and the water was just a by-product.

"I'm leaving."

"Brother Guo, take care. I won't be able to see you off tomorrow because I have classes. Be careful."

"Okay, got it."

Sun Ye stood at the school gate and watched Guo Jianwu ride away on his bike. He didn't turn around and go back to school until he turned the corner and disappeared.

The first thing I did when I got back to the dormitory was to take a shower. There was hot water in the bathhouse. As long as you had enough money, you could take a shower as long as the end of time and no one would bother you.

Forward Brigade.

"Is anyone home?" There was a knock on the door of the Sun family's courtyard. At this time, Sun's father and mother were all at work, and only Sun Lin was lying at home alone. The wounds on his body caused by Sun's mother's beating had not yet healed fully, and he still limped when he walked.

Since he has already graduated from junior high school and cannot go to high school, in order to prevent Sun Lin from returning to his old job, the right thing to do is to let him stay at home and not go anywhere, and recuperate.

Sun Lin was currently holding a small account book, calculating how much money he had left and how much goods he had not sold.

As for Sun's parents not wanting him to go to the black market, he could just go there quietly without letting them know. That's how they've done it before.

It is impossible to ask him to stop. The food at home is too dirty. He has the ability to change his life, so why not do it?

"Hey, here I come, wait a moment."

Sun Lin hid the account book under the bed sheet and slowly walked towards the gate, holding on to the wall. It was the postman, who was waiting outside the gate with a bicycle and a bag on his shoulder. He was a little surprised to see Sun Lin coming like this.

"Is there something wrong?"

"There's a letter from Sun Xuejun. Is this Sun Xuejun's home?"

"Yes, he is my father, just give me the letter."

"Okay then."

"Come in and have a bowl of water before leaving?"

"No, no, I'm in a hurry to send it to the next one."

Sun Lin took a look at the envelope. It turned out to be a letter from his younger sister. It felt quite thick and it seemed that she had a lot to say.

After tearing open the ink pad, Sun Lin first took out a thick letter from home. He turned around, closed the door, and read as he walked. He was a little curious about the life at Capital University, especially after seeing his younger sister's witty description of it.

"Hmm? Submit an article?"

Sun Lin looked at the contents of the envelope again. There were indeed a few banknotes. He thought that the writing could not fit on one piece of paper and had to be divided into several portions.

Wow, I've made it big, actually getting so much royalties.

Sun Lin laughed as he read and quickly finished reading the letter. His parents should be very happy.

At noon, Mr. and Mrs. Sun came home from work to eat.

Sun Lin first took out some money and put it on the table. Sun's mother immediately stood up and went to look for the bamboo stick.

"Mom, mom, mom, this is from my little sister. Look, the letter is here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun's mother's expression changed and she asked Sun Lin to read Sun Ye's letter.

Sun Lin feels aggrieved. They are both making money, so why is there such a big difference?
