After talking about business, several people began to eat and drink. They had not seen each other for a long time, and they all had endless things to say. From the drastic change to the present, a group of friends who had passed away supported each other in this troubled world. Now there are only four people left. The four of them were not very sad. After a few glasses of wine, all the past memories came to their minds. The four of them became naive children who could talk about trivial things in the past with gusto.
Quietly listening to the four people's endless conversation, Song Xiaoting learned a lot about the past events of the four people.
Lao Liu used to repair electric cars. He was obviously a tall and sturdy man, but he chose the name of Xiao Liu’s electric car shop. Mr. Huang met Lao Liu because of a very accidental incident. Lao Liu was caught selling black cars, and it happened that Huang Mr. Huang worked at the police station. Old Liu gave Mr. Huang 5,000 yuan. After Mr. Huang got him out, Old Liu also gave Mr. Huang a bicycle. He didn't know how to repair high-end bicycles, so he asked Mr. Huang to come to Chuxiang. While repairing cars at the stall, Chu Xiang got to know Mr. Huang, a local snake.
A Ming met Chu Xiang when he was riding a bicycle, but he also met Mr. Huang at the police station. One time, A Ming took the subway and had a conflict with several young men in the elevator. A Ming beat down eight young men with the same build as Chu Xiang by himself. Mr. Huang, whom he met when he went to the police station to deal with the matter, was both a police officer. After being discharged from the army, they cherished each other, and A Ming was released by Mr. Huang on the same day.
He couldn't finish talking and drank endless wine. He ate for most of the day and didn't stop until it got dark. A Ming drank until he was dizzy. Mr. Huang could no longer walk straight. Old Liu drank the most, but he still couldn't. Not much better, my tongue is so big that I can't speak clearly.
A Ming works in the intelligence department and has to go to work tomorrow. Mr. Huang has to go on patrol in the middle of the night. The two of them staggered and helped each other back home. Old Liu wanted to give Chu Xiang a few drinks, but A Ming and Mr. Huang couldn't even get there. They couldn't walk straight, so they had to follow them to prevent the two of them from falling into a ditch halfway.
Chu Xiang was also very dizzy. His ability to drink was low and he hadn't drank for a long time. As soon as the three of them left, Chu Xiang collapsed.
Hangovers inevitably lead to headaches. When she woke up, Chu Xiang felt like her head was going to explode. Song Xiaoting did not complain that Chu Xiang was drunk. The four of them talked about a life she didn't understand at all, a wonderful life that she longed for. She was very happy to have it. Such a boyfriend knows such friends who are excelling in their respective fields.
When they came to their senses, it was already noon. The two of them headed east. After walking for a while, Song Xiaoting asked, "Aren't we going to Wucheng?"
"Of course not." Chu Xiang said with a smile. He had already had New Year's Eve wine with his old friends and there was no need to go into the city again.
On the 29th of the year, the two of them had already arrived at the beach. Chu Xiang took Song Xiaoting and stepped into the sea towards the distant sea. Song Xiaoting didn't know how to tread water at all, so Chu Xiang had to half lift and half pull her, guide her carefully, and let her learn slowly.
There was almost no one in the sea, except for some fishing boats. By noon, the two of them had entered the sea for hundreds of miles and arrived at a town submerged in the sea.
"Look, there are people there." Song Xiaoting shouted. She had learned to tread water, but her skills were still poor. Chu Xiangban pulled her and the water was still up to her knees.
"Go and have a look." Chu Xiang said.
"What if it's a trap?" Song Xiaoting asked.
Chu Xiang smiled. Song Xiaoting was no longer as inexperienced as before. Whenever she saw something unusual, she would wonder if it was a trap set by others. This was a good thing.
The smoke was coming from the roof of a nine-story building above the water. It looked like it was a hotel, which was a good location. Walking straight towards the hotel, there were people talking on the roof, which seemed to be quite lively.
"Do you know them?" Song Xiaoting asked.
Chu Xiang nodded.
When the two approached the hotel, people on the roof also spotted the two. Several people ran to the edge of the building and waved to the two.
"Boss." Someone on the top of the building waved and called.
Walking along the wall to the roof, seven or eight people appeared in front of Song Xiaoting. Some of them were making a fire to grill fish and barbecue. When they saw the two people coming up, they all shouted: "Boss."
Song Xiaoting knew that they were calling Chu Xiang. Seeing that her boyfriend was so popular, she felt a little happy. She looked at a few people and found that several of them were looking at her curiously. Two of them were women. The eyes of the two women He kept scanning her body with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
Everyone was fine. Chu Xiang smiled and was about to speak when Li Qiong called out: "Brother Xiang, is this your sister-in-law?"
Chu Xiang smiled and nodded.
Seeing Chu Xiang nodding, Leng Ruyue's face turned a little pale, and Yang Rong's expression was also a little different.
Li Qiong and Zhao Ziming immediately shouted happily: "Hello, sister-in-law.
Wang Liang, Dou Yonghua and Nan Zhongdao also shouted: "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Hello, my name is Song Xiaoting." Song Xiaoting said with a slight smile.
Duan Meng was smiling at him by the pot. Chu Xiang walked over and took Duan Meng's hand: "Mr. Duan, are you feeling well?"
"It's great. It will be even better if I see you." Duan Meng said with a smile.
Knowing that she was an elder friend of Chu Xiang, Song Xiaoting was very obedient and called out: "Hello, Mr. Duan."
"Okay, okay, hello, hello." Duan Meng looked at Song Xiaoting happily and said.
"Dou Yonghua, Nan Zhongdao, Wang Liang, Li Qiong, Zhao Ziming, Leng Ruyue, Yang Rong, Zhong Fugui." Chu Xiang introduced everyone to Song Xiaoting one by one. Song Xiaoting did not act like a sister-in-law and greeted them one by one with a smile.
Finally, Chu Xiang pointed to the cold young man sitting by the wall and said, "His name is Yan Wuhui."
Song Xiaoting was a little surprised and nodded: "I've seen him on the news."
"How is it?" Chu Xiang patted Dou Yonghua on the shoulder and asked.
"Fortunately, missing a hand doesn't have any impact." Dou Yonghua said with a smile.
"That's good." Chu Xiang was slightly relieved.
Walking up to Yan Wuhui, Chu Xiang asked, "How is it?"
"I can't die." Yan Wu replied.
"It's these three words every time, can't you say one more word?" Chu Xiang was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"cannot."
"Okay." Chu Xiang said helplessly.
The kitchen utensils are all ready, and there are fruits and vegetables. The only thing missing is the main course - fish. I don't know who has prepared more than a dozen fishing rods. It would be fun for everyone to swing the rods together. Chu Xiang had almost never fished before. He sat down and fished for a while, and found that it was good for calming down. He called everyone over and started fishing.
"Mr. Duan, how is your research going?" Chu Xiang said.
"This kind of theoretical research can't be so easy to gain. After just a few years of study, you can't even touch the door." Duan Meng said.
"That's true." Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Xiaoting is also doing research, so you can discuss it together."
"Can't you tell?" Duan Meng said in surprise.
"People should not be judged by their appearance." Chu Xiang said.
"Indeed." Duan Meng laughed.
While the two were talking, Duan Meng had already taken the bait and was busy pulling the rod.
"Zhongdao, it's been a good time to enter the country. Tell me about your experience." Chu Xiangdao.
"It's not bad. I've been in the sea recently. Water is like air. It follows the flow of water. Over time, I found that I can also find the rules of air flow. Furthermore, places with greater water pressure are more sensitive to the penetration and penetration of force. The greater the obstacle to the flexibility of body movements, practicing under such strong pressure can achieve twice the result with half the effort." Nan Zhongdao said.
"Did you hear that?" Chu Xiang said.
Yan Wuhui said nothing, while Dou Yonghua and Wang Liang nodded.
"Aren't I making rapid progress?" At this time, Leng Ruyue said a little disappointed.
"It's not bad, it's far from the limit it should be." Chu Xiang said.
Oh, Leng Ruyue was very disappointed. She thought she would be praised, but it was just okay.
"Fugui, if you don't understand anything, just ask them. You can ask them when I'm not around." Chu Xiang said.
"Yes, Master Chu." Zhong Fugui said respectfully. Along with everyone else, Zhong Fugui was a little timid and couldn't fit into the atmosphere.
"After all, they are all your senior brothers. They are also responsible for your lack of progress. You can't tie your own hands and feet." Chu Xiang said, understanding Zhong Fugui's heart.
"Understood." Zhong Fugui said excitedly. He didn't expect Chu Xiang to value him so much.
"You three brothers are progressing too slowly. You can't slack off because of other things and show your previous energy. Practicing does not necessarily require a specific time and environment. Just like now, with the fishing rod in hand, it is a good time to practice listening to the energy. You can also practice breathing and exhaling, and you can perform the exercises anytime and anywhere." Chu Xiang said.
"Understood, Brother Xiang." Li Qiong and Zhao Ziming said in unison.
"Sorry, Brother Xiang, I've been a little distracted recently." Wang Liang said ashamedly.
"Progress doesn't just happen in a moment. You can practice it anytime and anywhere. The most important thing is to accumulate these basic skills." Chu Xiangdao.
"Understood." Wang Liang nodded.
"What about me?" Seeing that Chu Xiang didn't mention her, Yang Rong asked.
"You have too many thoughts. Let's wait and see when you can calm down." Chu Xiang said.
Yang Rong lowered her head in embarrassment.
A group of people fished for a while, and Duan Meng's technique turned out to be the best. He repeatedly stopped fishing, and sometimes the fish was so big that he almost had to be pulled into the water by the fish. Chu Xiang's record was pretty good and he could barely catch a few fish. The one with the worst record was Yan Wuhui, who sat there motionless and not a single fish took the bait. Maybe the fish were afraid of him.
Everyone fished for more than an hour, but they didn't catch many fish. They all ate about ten or eight pounds of meat in one meal. This amount of fish was not enough for dinner, so they had to go into the water to catch it.
Chu Xiang caught a few and came up. Seeing that Yan Wuhui had not entered the water and was sitting still, he shouted: "Why don't you go down? Practicing in the water will be of great help to your body skills."
Yan Wuhui said nothing, with a sullen face. Chu Xiangzheng was confused. Duan Meng smiled and said, "He is afraid of water."
Chu Xiang was stunned, laughed, and asked, "Mr. Duan, how do you know?"
"He vomited when he came." Duan Meng said.
Chu Xiang laughed and said, "It's good to be afraid of water." He went to catch Yan Wuhui. Yan Wuhui's face turned blue and he wanted to hide but was unwilling to hide. Chu Xiang grabbed his shoulder and threw him far into the sea.
Soon, everyone caught a lot of fish, shrimps, crabs and other things, cleaned them by the water downstairs, and brought them to the pot. Everyone came back, but there was still no sign of Yan Wuhui. After a long time, they saw Yan Wuhui emerging from the water holding a big fish as long as his arm. His whole face was blue, his expression was extremely uncomfortable, and his Adam's apple kept rolling. , looking like he's about to vomit at any moment.
Chu Xiang took the fish from Yan Wuhui and said to continue. Yan Wuhui glanced at Chu Xiang with a murderous look, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and continued to catch the fish. What Chu Xiang didn't expect was that Yan Wuhui was afraid of water, but his cooking skills were unparalleled. He didn't like the cooking skills of Zhong Fugui and Li Qiong, so he pushed them away and turned on the God of Cooking mode.
Seeing Yan Wuhui skillfully operating various kitchen utensils with a blue face, Chu Xiang suddenly felt very inconsistent and funny. Under the help of the God of Cooking, everyone cooperated, and soon the meals were ready, including fish, meat, vegetables, and fruits. Most of the table is filled with seafood, fish, shrimps, crabs and other kinds of aquatic products. They are fried, steamed, braised, boiled, and grilled. It’s dazzling. The whole table is full, and there are many that are not served. .
After getting everything ready, it was already dark, the hot temperature was slowly dropping, and the cool breeze was blowing through my soaked clothes, which felt very comfortable.
Chu Xiang had stopped drinking recently, but at this moment he couldn't help but raise his glass and said: "I originally wanted to have a good meal in the city, but I was afraid that your relationship with me would be exposed and put you in danger, so I had no choice but to I have wronged you by doing it myself in the sea." He said and drank it all in one gulp.
"The sea view is better than that in the city." Duan Meng said with a smile and did it.
"Boss, I haven't eaten such fresh seafood in a long time." Dou Yonghua said, suffocating after one gulp.
"Brother Xiang, we followed you all the way to Wucheng." Wang Liang said, and the three brothers raised their glasses and poured them into their mouths together.
Yan Wuhui was speechless and drank it all in one gulp, as did Nan Zhongdao and Zhong Fugui.
"Thank you for making me feel warm." Leng Ruyue said with a complicated expression.
