"Gangzi!"
Shen Dongliang patted Liu Gang on the back, and his tone of voice was choked with tears.
After he was released from prison, it wasn't like he didn't contact other friends.
But among those people, when they heard his voice, some hung up the phone directly, some looked around and talked about him, and only Liu Gang was willing to meet him.
Moreover, after meeting, Liu Gang was still so enthusiastic.
How could this not move him?
"well."
Liu Gang sighed: "Just come out. From now on, let's be good people."
Hearing the words 'be a good person', Shen Dongliang looked startled. He didn't know how many times he had heard this sentence since he was released from prison.
To be fair, he didn't like this statement.
But in front of Liu Gang, he still nodded heavily.
"Um."
"I will."
"Come on, sit down first."
Liu Gang chuckled, helped him sit on a chair nearby, and then shouted at the door at the top of his voice.
"Lady boss, serve the food!"
After greeting him, Liu Gang sat next to Shen Dongliang with a smile on his face.
"Old Shen, what are your plans in the future?"
While Liu Gang was talking, he eagerly poured a glass of water for Shen Dongliang.
"Forehead."
It went straight to the point as soon as it started. Even Shen Dongliang couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Originally, he wanted to complain, recall his comradeship, and then find a way to get Liu Gang to help him find a job or something.
After being stunned for a moment, Shen Dongliang smiled bitterly.
"What future will I have in the future?"
After a moment of self-deprecation, Shen Dongliang suddenly changed the subject.
"By the way, Gangzi, are you still in the steel mill now?"
"No more."
Liu Gang laughed loudly: "I went into the sea!"
"Go to the sea?"
Hearing this word, Shen Dongliang didn't feel unfamiliar, but just a little disappointed.
The steelmaking factory is the signature enterprise of Songhe City, and it is even better than the cotton spinning factory. Shen Dongliang is a little puzzled. If you have a good job in the subway, why don't you keep it?
"Um."
Liu Gang laughed: "I am now the manager of Songhe Branch of Project 1024."
"ah?"
Shen Dongliang looked confused and said: "Project 1024, what is that?"
"Boss Liu, the food is here."
Just at this moment, the proprietress walked in with a plate of pork stewed vermicelli. Seeing the presence of outsiders, Liu Gang smiled mysteriously and patted Shen Dongliang on the shoulder.
"I won't tell you what it is specifically."
"We brothers haven't seen each other for many years. Let's take a nice walk today."
After saying this, Liu Gang turned around and said.
"Boss lady, please bring two bottles of Erguotou!"
"Okay, I'll be here in a minute."
The landlady agreed with a smile. Liu Gang was a big customer of their shop. In the past two months, almost every two to three days, Liu Gang would open a private box at her place.
Sometimes there are new faces, sometimes there are familiar faces.
In addition, this man is very generous when he invites guests to dinner. Even if there are only two people, he still has to prepare five or six hard dishes.
Of course, the landlady welcomes such a big customer with a smile.
Soon, all the dishes in the private room were served, including pork stewed with vermicelli, pot-wrapped pork, braised pork soup, chicken stewed with mushrooms, stir-fried kidneys, and blood sausage stir-fried with vegetables.
There are six dishes, all with meat, not even one vegetarian, and the portions are sufficient. Let alone two people, even two or three times more people will still be enough to eat.
Smelling the aroma coming from the tip of his nose, Shen Dongliang swallowed.
"Is this scene too big?"
In the past five years, Shen Dongliang had never seen such a posture. During that time in prison, he didn't even see a human being.
After he was released from prison, the best meal he had was at Shen Wenyi's house, but that meal only had two or three hard dishes, how could it compare to this place?
With such a large table of dishes, a meal might cost fifty or sixty yuan?
After being imprisoned for five years, the outside world was developing too fast. Shen Dongliang was thinking about having a salary of fifty, sixty, seventy or eighty. In fact, the meal on the table would cost at least one hundred.
Not counting the wine.
"Ha ha."
Liu Gang waved his hand and opened a bottle of Erguotou.
"This is nothing, it's nothing."
"Old Shen, let me tell you, even though this restaurant is inconspicuous, the chef's skills are not bad."
"My boss used to be the chef of Fenghuiyuan."
Fenghuiyuan is a famous state-owned hotel in Songhe City. Even though Shen Dongliang was imprisoned for five years, he still knew what it was like to be a chef at Fenghuiyuan.
After the shock, Shen Dongliang said dryly.
"Then this meal will cost a hundred dollars?"
"Ouch."
Liu Gang poured the wine and said indifferently.
"How tacky is it to raise money?"
"Can the relationship between us brothers be measured by money?"
"Yes Yes."
Shen Dongliang nodded repeatedly: "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."
"That's right."
After pouring the wine, Liu Gang raised his glass and said.
"Come, let's drink to see each other again after a long separation!"
"Dry!"
Shen Dongliang raised his wine glass and clinked it, but his drinking movement was a beat slower than Liu Gang's.
The slow beat was intentional. He wanted to see how much Liu Gang drank first, and then he followed suit.
As a result, the scene that happened in front of him neither made him advance nor retreat.
I saw Liu Gang picking up a three-liang wine glass, raising his head, and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking, Liu Gang turned the glass upside down to indicate that he was done.
have to.
People are bored, what else can Shen Dongliang do?
Naturally, he became bored.
"Cough! Cough!"
However, Shen Dongliang's drinking capacity was not as good as expected. He drank so hard that he almost burst into tears.
"Old Shen, are you okay?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Gang quickly patted Shen Dongliang on the back and said with a 'concerned' look on his face.
"Here, drink some water."
With that said, Liu Gang first pushed the water cup to Shen Dongliang's hand, then picked up the chopsticks and diligently picked up a few pieces of chicken for Shen Dongliang.
"Eat something first to cushion your stomach."
"fine."
If you lose, you don't lose the formation, Shen Dongliang insisted.
"I'll just take it easy."
"I just drank too much."
"Ouch!"
Liu Gang slapped his head: "It's all my fault. I was just too happy to meet again and forgot about propriety."
"Come."
"Eat the food first."
During the conversation, Liu Gang smiled and presented another pair of chopsticks.
Seeing Liu Gang serving tea and water, drinking wine and picking up vegetables, Shen Dongliang felt extremely comfortable.
What did he see most after he was released from prison?
He made sarcastic comments, even ridicules, and later even went to the bureau for a walk.
Anyway, he hasn't seen anything good since he was released from prison.
Nowadays, Liu Gang is not only still enthusiastic, but also treats himself with such courtesy. When he thinks of this, Shen Dongliang suddenly feels like "a thousand cups are too little when drinking with a close friend".
During the next dinner, the two of them drank wine and reminisced about their youth. When they got excited, they would put their arms around their shoulders and sing a song.
During this period, Shen Dongliang was also curious about Liu Gang's current identity.
But every time when he mentioned the '1024 Project', Liu Gang hesitated and talked about him.
