evening.
Yan Jiecheng's bangs were neatly trimmed, and he wandered along the spacious street towards the courtyard.
He didn't drink today, but his walking posture was exactly the same as after drinking. His left leg moved to the right and his right leg moved to the left. His whole body staggered.
This scene attracted the attention of passers-by, especially those nosy old ladies, who stopped one after another.
He wanted to go up and help, but he didn't dare. After all, he had a strong body with bangs. If he got drunk and went crazy, their old arms and legs wouldn't be able to bear it at all.
Finally, someone called out an old man wearing a red sleeve band.
In these years, the street office will entrust some advanced elements to patrol the streets to prevent some uncivilized situations from happening.
Open defecation, littering, and quarreling in the street are all considered uncivilized situations.
Drinking alcohol is certainly a problem.
Despite being nearly sixty years old, the old man had a gray beard and wrinkles all over his face. After wearing the red sleeve hoops, he looked energetic.
He strode up to Liu Haizhong, pulled the red sleeve band on his arm with his hand to straighten it, and then glared at Liu Haizhong and said.
"Comrade, drinking alcohol is a bad habit. Hasn't the street office educated you?"
"Drinking?" Zhong Zhongzheng, bangs, was blocked by someone. He was about to get angry, but when his eyes swept over the red sleeve bands, the anger on his face suddenly disappeared.
Just kidding, although these red sleeves don't have a position, they can't be considered as officers of the street office at all, but they have the power of supervision.
If he dares to cause trouble, he will be sent to the street office immediately, where he will be criticized at least, or in more serious cases, he will have to study in a class.
Only when the study is passed can the matter be considered completed.
and.
These old comrades are the most sincere. As long as ordinary young people communicate well and say a few nice words, they can easily get over their mistakes even if they make mistakes. However, these people's brains are relatively dull. Even if the leaders of the unit come forward, , are of no use at all.
Now that the bangs are still entangled in trouble, at this moment, it is natural not to provoke the red sleeve band.
He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, squeezed out a smile, looked at the old man and said, "Master, you misunderstood, I didn't drink!"
"Didn't you drink?" The old man looked Liu Haizhong up and down, and a glimmer of light burst out from his cloudy eyes: "Did you think that I am older and have bad eyesight, so you deceived me? To tell you the truth, I am Lao Zhang Before the liberation, I went to other places to help the soldiers transport food. At that time, the enemy's aircraft and artillery bombed me wildly. If my eyesight had not been good, I might have been buried in the ground by now."
"No, no, no." Liu Haizhong still wanted to explain.
But he was interrupted by the old man waving his hand: "You're wearing a straight-looking suit. You should be a worker in the factory. How can you not know the harmful effects of drinking? Have you heard of Liu Erzhu from the courtyard next door? No?"
This place is still some distance from the courtyard. Liu Haizhong is really not familiar with the situation here. He quickly shook his head and said: "I don't know. Who is Liu Erzhu."
"Speaking of Liu Erzhu, he is an extraordinary figure. He became a seventh-level mechanic in the machine repair shop before he was forty years old. I heard that any broken machine can be repaired by him as long as it is sent to him. If you tilt your ears and listen for a moment, you can hear the problem. Pick up a pen and lightly draw on it, and the workers will disassemble it along the marked lines. They will definitely find the damaged parts. Do you think it's amazing? "
The spicy old man with red sleeves and hoops seems to have not caught anyone all day long. Now that he sees Liu Haizhong, he talks a lot. In order to worry about delaying traffic, he deliberately pulled Liu Haizhong to the side of the road, stared at him and said.
Liu Haizhong didn't want to know who Liu Erzhu was at all, but when the old man stopped him, he didn't dare to leave easily. After all, if he was accused of not listening to dissuasion, it would be troublesome.
"Uncle, uncle, I really don't know the Liu Erzhu you are talking about. I have something else to do. Can you let me go?"
Mr. Hongxiuhuan said with a straight face: "Comrade, you really think that my old man is here to stop you from playing because of nothing! I am doing this for your own good, please listen to what I have to say."
"Yes, yes!" Liu Haizhong had no choice but to stand there and listen to the old man's teachings.
Seeing Liu Haizhong standing there obediently, the old man nodded with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it. If you had had this attitude a long time ago, you wouldn't have to be reprimanded."
"Yes, yes, old man, please tell me quickly. I promise to listen obediently here." Liu Haizhong no longer dared to resist at this moment.
The old man then said slowly: "I have just reached the point where Liu Erzhu is so powerful. It stands to reason that a talented person like Liu Erzhu can make greater contributions to the machine repair shop and the country. If he is lucky, he might be able to do something big, but hey! His biggest problem is that he likes to drink.
In fact, we can't blame Liu Erzhu. His father is the famous Jiu Mengzi in this area. He always drinks half a bottle every day to feel comfortable all over. Ever since Liu Erzhu could walk, his father started to dip his chopsticks into wine. Feeding him, in his father's words, drinking is an old tradition of their Liu family and cannot be discontinued in his son's generation.
Seeing this situation, the residents in the compound also stepped forward to dissuade them, saying that the child was still young, but his father was the kind of person who liked to chatter after drinking too much. Not only did he not listen to other people's advice, but he also followed others' advice. He was anxious, because it was not his family's business. As time went by, everyone saw that dissuasion was of no use, so they had no choice but to give up.
In this way, Liu Erzhu, who grew up drinking, lived up to his father's expectations. He could drink two kilograms of wine at a time at a young age and became a famous drinker around him.
At this time, his father had already developed symptoms due to drinking all year round. If he did not drink half a catty of wine every day, his fingers would be so trembling that he could not hold chopsticks and his eyes would no longer be able to see. The surrounding residents began to persuade Liu Erzhu not to leave his father's house. The old way, but he still didn't listen.
Later, Liu Erzhuzi's father died before he was fifty. Liu Erzhuzi was also married at that time. After helping the old man with his funeral, his wife was worried that Liu Erzhuzi would be like the old man in the future, so she began to persuade him Quit drinking, but at this time Liu Erzhuzi was already addicted to alcohol. Not only did he not listen to the advice, he would also take his wife out of the house every time she got drunk and beat her up in front of the residents of the compound.
Now is not the time to marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog. When the residents in the compound saw him beating his wife and refused to follow him, they sent him to the street office.
After Liu Erzhuji woke up, he slapped himself several times in the face, cried and knelt down to his wife, begging her for forgiveness.
His daughter-in-law was also a kind woman. Seeing Liu Erzhuzi's behavior, she softened her heart and forgave Liu Erzhuzi, as long as he promised not to drink again.
Liu Erzhuzi was overjoyed when he heard this. He swore an oath to God and wrote a letter of guarantee in front of the street office officials.
The street office officer thought that the two still had feelings for each other, and adhered to the concept of persuading reconciliation but not separation, so he did not embarrass Liu Erzhu and let him go.
After this incident, Liu Erzhuzi became honest for a while and did not touch the bottle for half a month. If things continued like this, he might not end up like he did later.
As time went by, Liu Erzhu's alcohol addiction relapsed. At first, he secretly drank two glasses of wine behind his wife's back. Later, he gradually became bolder and hid in the small cellar after work every day. In the pub, I was very drunk, and then I returned home.
Of course, his daughter-in-law couldn't spoil him, so she had a quarrel with him at that time, saying that she would leave him as long as he drank again.
However, Liu Erzhuzi was already drunk at the time and was in a state of disownment. Instead of listening to the advice, he picked up a stick and beat his wife again.
His wife's screams alerted the neighbors in the compound. The residents rushed into the house and pulled out his wife. This time Liu Erzhu was particularly cruel, and his wife was beaten all over her face and body. public opinion.
The residents got angry at that time, called four or five young men, swarmed over him, and tied Liu Erzhu to the street office.
This time his wife filed for divorce again. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Erzhu slapped himself again and raised his hands to swear to God. However, people can only trust once. This time, not only the comrades in the street office did not believe him, but also raised their hands and swore to God. Even his wife doesn't believe him.
Finally, with the help of comrades from the subdistrict office, his wife successfully divorced him and left the Liu family.
After Liu Erzhuzi was taught a lesson, he was also returned to the compound.
Without the comfort of his wife, Liu Erzhu completely fell into a state of madness. When he got up early every morning, the first thing he did was drink a glass of wine.
He calls it mouthwash. Only after drinking mouthwash can a person wake up.
After drinking wine and having breakfast, he was busy in the factory until noon. Liu Erzhuzi did not eat in the factory, but came to the tavern. He did not eat or eat vegetables. He drank two kilograms of wine and squatted on the roadside slowly. Drink slowly. The machine repair shop can take an hour and a half break at noon. Liu Erzhu drank all two kilograms of wine in this hour and a half before returning to the workshop to work.
It is forbidden for drunk workers to operate machines in the machine repair shop, but Liu Erzhu's skills are good, and he drinks a lot, so he is not drunk at all, so the leader of the workshop turned a blind eye after persuading him to no avail. He closed his eyes and told him not to get drunk.
Liu Erzhuzi did not take the factory leader's advice to heart. Instead, he felt that he had a large capacity for alcohol and would not get drunk no matter how much he drank.
So every time during lunch time, I would sneak out to drink.
It can be said that Liu Erzhuzi is a seventh-level mechanic and can get a salary of more than 80 yuan a month. He is alone at home now and has no place to spend money. He cannot spend so much money at all. You can also live a prosperous life.
However, he needs to drink five kilograms of wine every day. We are short of supplies now and wine is so expensive. Even the cheapest bulk wine in the tavern costs one yuan per kilogram, so don’t expect Liu Erzhuzi to get it every month. More than eighty yuan is actually not enough money for drinks.
The furniture in the house was shabby and the clothes were in tatters. Just like that, I still owed a lot of money to others.
The big guys saw this and were worried for him, but they knew that he was not a person who listened to persuasion. If he persisted in persuading, not only would there be no results, but he would get beaten up.
So the big guy reported his matter to the street office again.
Liu Erzhuzi had long been a celebrity in the nearby neighborhood. The comrades from the street office had long wanted to have a chat with him, so they took him there.
This time, Liu Erzhuzi was locked up for half a month before being released.
The guy originally thought that after this lesson, he would never dare to drink again. Who would have thought that on the first day he returned home, Liu Erzhuzi would run to the tavern.
Seeing that Liu Erzhuzi did not learn the lesson at all, everyone also understood that this man was hopeless, so they stopped trying to persuade him.
really.
Less than a month later, Liu Erzhuzi drank a little at noon one day and felt dizzy, but he had to go into the workshop to work. His few apprentices saw that something was wrong with their master, so they wanted to stop him at that time.
Liu Erzhuzi was a man who was so drunk that he even dared to blast his hammer with his wife. How could he be stopped by those people?
After pushing all the young apprentices away, he rushed to the machine to show his apprentices what it means to be a master.
As a result, Liu Erzhuzhu didn't react when the machine started, and he was completely sucked into the machine.
His little disciples saw that the situation was not good and quickly turned off the switch, but it was too late.
The big machines in the machine repair shop can even crush steel pipes, not to mention that Liu Erzhu is only made of flesh and blood. Almost in an instant, Liu Erzhu was crushed to pieces.
Just like that, a promising seventh-level mechanic was gone! "
After the old man with red sleeves finished speaking, he glared at Liu Haizhong and said, "I see there are organic oil stains on your hands. You must be a worker, right?"
"Ah, yes, I am also a seventh-level worker, but I am not a mechanic, but a blacksmith." Liu Haizhong replied subconsciously.
The old man glared at him and said, "You are also a seventh-level worker. Aren't you afraid that you will follow Liu Erzhu's path in the future?"
Hearing this, Liu Haizhong also panicked a little.
He had to drink every day now. As long as he didn't drink, he would feel uncomfortable all over. Although he drank far less than Liu Erzhu, he was still a little dangerous.
If Jiang Zai Wan was drunk and was accidentally hit by a sledgehammer in the blacksmith's workshop, his fate would definitely be worse than Liu Erzhu's.
That sledgehammer can flatten a big iron ball.
Thinking about that tragic scene, Liu Haizhong shivered with fear, and quickly patted his chest and promised: "Master, don't worry, I will never dare to drink again in the future!"
"That's pretty much it. You told me just now that you didn't drink. Now you can finally admit your mistake. Okay, you go back quickly!" Seeing Liu Haizhong admitting his mistake, Hongxiuhuan nodded with satisfaction and walked away with his hands behind his back. .
Looking at the old man's handsome back, he suddenly felt something was wrong in his bangs.
He scratched his head and said, "Yeah, I didn't drink at all, why did I get scolded?"
