Since it was a farewell party, everyone naturally picked it up and said that after complimenting Lao Song, Lao Song felt a lot better.
He took the initiative to pick up the disposable cup, saluted his brothers, and said:
"Everyone, please stop bragging about me. I know how much I weigh, but I still thank you. I feel much better."
Everyone raised their glasses, clinked glasses with Lao Song, and said one after another:
"What's the point of boasting? What we say is all true. With your character and ability, you can accomplish anything you do after you go out."
"That's right, it's good to be no longer at the construction site. Finding another job may not be worse than this one. To put it bluntly, this line of work is still manual work with no future."
Listening to everyone's comfort and suggestions, Lao Song felt melancholy.
At this age, I can’t work on a construction site, so what else can I do?
Even a college student like my son can't find a good job. How can he, a man in his late fifties, find a good job?
If you tell me, no ghost will believe it.
Thinking of this, he felt sad. He drank up his beer and Erguotou in one gulp, opened a bottle of Sichuan Yunming wine and said:
"No more talk, no one can predict what will happen in the future, but right now, brother, I am really depressed and worried... Drink, drink, the ups and downs of life are all in the wine."
When the others heard this, they also fell silent. They each drank their share of wine, took Lao Song's Sichuan Yunming wine, and raised their glasses to drink together.
As a result, after drinking, several people invariably opened their eyes and looked at each other in great shock:
"Hiss, this wine turns out to be so delicious!"
"Yes, the taste is extraordinary, much better than Erguotou and beer!"
Lao Wang even picked up the Sichuan Yunming Wine, looked at the price on it, and marveled:
"Such a delicious wine only costs more than thirty yuan? It's so worth it."
The few people who did not believe in evil had another drink each. After comparing it with the Erguotou beer they just drank, they became even more shocked:
"This is really a treasure. If I had known about it, I would have bought a few more bottles."
"Damn it, compared with this Sichuan Yunming wine, what we just drank was rubbish, especially the Erguotou mixed with water, it's like fucking horse urine."
"Old Wang, you are talking like you have drunk horse urine, hahaha."
"Old Wang must have drank horse urine. I testify that the last time he went to a nearby village near the city, he spent two hundred yuan just to find an old woman there and drink her horse urine, hahaha."
Amidst a burst of laughter, the conversation of several people successfully shifted from the heavy life issues to wine and other topics. Lao Song's depressed mood was also swept away, and he forgot about the unhappy things. A little more smiling.
As they drank, everyone's spirits were high, and they were talking nonsense all over the world. Finally, they were so drunk that they even used the boardroom as a KTV, holding beer bottles and singing songs.
Finally, the two bottles of Sichuan Yunming wine were drank completely, and even the other horse urine wine was "squandered".
The satisfied people were lying on the temporary wooden beds. They all felt very happy, and all the annoying worries disappeared without a trace.
They lay on the bed and began to chat about their wives and children, and the meaning of life:
"Actually, we don't live this life for the sake of our family. We endure hardships and earn money here. As long as our wife and children at home can live a relaxed life without being wronged, that's better than anything else."
"That's right, as the head of the family, we have to endure hardships and shoulder responsibilities. If your child calls you 'Dad', you have to fulfill your responsibilities as a father. No matter how hard and tiring you are outside, you are still better than the whole family. If you don’t have enough food, you have to be strong.”
"In this society, efforts are rewarded."
Listening to everyone's words, Lao Song couldn't help but think of his wife and children, and a smile appeared on his face:
"You're right. I remember when my son was rebellious and quarreled with me. My mother-in-law brought him to my construction site, pointed at me working on the hanging board and told him: 'Every penny you spent in school was taken from your father. I earned it with my life, but when I went back that night, that kid hugged me and cried like crazy. From then on, I became very reasonable and even made progress."
His voice became softer and softer, his speaking speed became slower and slower, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and before he knew it, he fell asleep like this.
In the wooden room, snoring was already everywhere. Lao Wang and the others had already fallen asleep.
Early the next morning.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Lao Wang, Lao Song, get up and go to work! If you don't get up, you'll be late!"
Lao Wang and others in the room woke up from their deep sleep with the knock on the door from the worker in the next room.
Looking at the time vaguely, everyone was surprised:
"Damn it, it's already half past seven, why is everyone oversleeping?"
"Oh my god, I can't keep up with the meal. Get up quickly. Get up quickly and go to the construction site. If you are late, you will be deducted."
"Hey, I can't drink randomly anymore. Drinking will cause trouble."
Everyone was talking in a flurry of words, which woke up Lao Song from his deep sleep.
He stood up in confusion, looked at the workers who were hurriedly getting dressed, and suddenly felt a little shocked:
what happened? I was the last one to get up?
He looked down at the time, and after calculating it, he looked even more unbelievable.
I slept for almost nine hours!
This is the longest I have slept this month.
Not only that, Lao Song felt that his whole body was more relaxed than ever before, full of energy and full of energy, as if he had returned to his youth.
He put on his clothes and stood up. After jumping on the spot a few times, he couldn't help but roared with excitement.
Lao Wang and others were startled by his roar, and they all looked at Lao Song. They thought he was losing his temper and said quickly:
"Old Song, please continue to rest, we are going to work."
"Calm down and look forward."
However, when Old Song heard this, he laughed:
"Wait for me, I'll go with you."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at him in confusion:
"Old Song, you won't become stupid after drinking, right?"
"You were suspended from work by the foreman, what are you going to do?"
Lao Song shook his arms and smiled energetically:
"I'm not stupid. I'm very sober. I'll go find Li Dou today and ask him for another chance."
"I feel like I'm in the best shape I've ever been, and I'm sure I won't miss anything today."
Lao Wang couldn't help but pour cold water on him and said:
"Don't be stupid, you don't know what kind of temper Li Dou is? If you say anything out loud, he will throw water away. Yesterday he asked you to rest, and today you beg him to work, where will he put his face?"
Lao Wang is not depressed at all:
"What are you afraid of? At most, I will be rejected by him. I won't lose a hair. He won't let me go up today. I'll come back tomorrow. If I ask a few times, he will always agree. After all, we are also fellow villagers."
