"Chen Duo, there is nothing wrong with Shanqiu and Hetu right now. Why don't we go to Zhongzhou City together and play with Du Heng to see which one is better between him and Liang Chaohui, or between us and Lao Guo?
The combination is great.”
Zhao Shanhe's eyes lit up.
"OK!"
Chen Duo laughed and said, "Then let's go to Zhongzhou City and have fun with them."
Zhao Shanhe patted Chen Duo on the shoulder: "Compile the information for me today, and we will leave for Zhongzhou tomorrow."
"yes!"
After coming out of the winery, Zhao Shanhe returned to Hetu Manufacturing. After finishing all the work at hand, Li Xiangyang knocked on the door and came in to report on the work.
After talking about the work, Zhao Shanhe said with a smile: "Early get off work today, it's okay, let's find a place to string?"
"Just the two of us?" Li Xiangyang was slightly stunned.
Zhao Shanhe smiled and said: "Yes. It's just the two of us. We just want to talk to you about something."
"Okay, let's go!"
The heart of the people in Zhenghe County is by the river.
There are rows of restaurants here. In such a big summer, the most popular thing is of course the barbecue. Sitting at a table set up by the river, you have to have a few bottles of cold beer, a pair of flowers and hair, a few dishes of side dishes, and of course the highlight
It has to be mutton kebabs.
It tastes so much better.
Moreover, the mutton skewers of this era are different from those of later generations. They are pure and authentic. Unlike the mutton skewers of later generations, they are often fake.
"Boss, here are twenty skewers."
"Boss, where's my waist?"
"Little sister, here are six bottles of cold beer!"
The sounds of shouting, hawking, talking, barbecue...the sounds reached my ears, making it a noisy place. The air was filled with a strong smell of cumin, which whetted my appetite just by smelling it.
This is the most authentic fireworks atmosphere in the world.
This is also Zhao Shanhe and Li Xiangyang’s favorite place in the past.
"Did you see it over there? I didn't expect that video parlor was still open. I remember we used to go to the movies often at that time, and it's still open now. It seems like the business is good. How about we finish our meal later and go take care of it too?
Do you want to do Liu Mazi's business?" Li Xiangyang pointed to a video parlor on the other side of the river and said with a smile.
"Screw you, it's you who keeps dragging me to watch movies. How could such an honest and humble boy like me do such a thing?" Some memories also appeared in Zhao Shanhe's mind.
"You? Be honest?"
Li Xiangyang smacked his lips speechlessly and picked up a bottle of beer.
"Old rules, take one step before talking!"
"good!"
The two of them raised their necks and drank the bottle of beer at once.
"happy!"
After Zhao Shanhe finished drinking, he picked up a skewer and rolled it up.
"I still remember what we said at that time, saying that we would open a video parlor in the future, just so we could watch movies for free." Li Xiangyang laughed, opened another bottle of beer and handed it over.
"You can drive it now."
"Where do you have time now? If you say you could do it before when you were at the ice factory, but now even if you have the will, you don't have the strength anymore." Li Xiangyang shook his head and said.
"You, don't think about the video hall. Let me tell you, this kind of business will not last long. Soon all the video halls will be gone." Zhao Shanhe said.
"Isn't it? How can you say it is such an exaggeration? I think the business of the video hall is very hot now. Many people go to watch it every day, and it is often full even at night."
Li Xiangyang looked over suspiciously.
"Don't believe it, the video parlor business will soon be replaced by Internet cafes. If you don't believe it, let's wait and see." Zhao Shanhe picked up a kidney and handed it over with a smile.
"Here, make up!"
"Screw you, do I need to fill it up?" Li Xiangyang said this, but he took it neatly with his hand, and stuffed a kidney into his mouth in three strokes.
"Also, do you remember the video store over there from Liu Mazi's Video Hall?"
Li Xiangyang raised his head and looked across, stretched his neck and said, "Yes, it's right there, and it's still open. I still remember that you went to the construction site to move bricks and save money in order to buy Qiu Ya her favorite tape.
Qian. You said that your boy was quite infatuated with Qiu Ya at that time. For him, he was even willing to move bricks."
"That's right, I've always been infatuated with Qiu Ya, okay?"
Zhao Shanhe smiled naturally, and then suddenly asked: "Xiang Yang, actually there is something I have wanted to ask you for a long time, but I never found the chance."
"Ask me." Li Xiangyang picked up another skewer of mutton, took all five pieces of mutton into his mouth in one breath, looked up at Zhao Shanhe and said.
"Even when I was in society, others gave up on me. Why didn't you? When others saw me as if they were seeing a god of plague, why were you still willing to help me?"
"I clearly remember that whenever I asked you to borrow money, you never refused. Even if you yelled at me sometimes, you would still lend me the money in the end."
Zhao Shanhe's expression was gentle.
"Why?"
"Why would you do that?"
Zhao Shanhe looked at Li Xiangyang motionless.
"Because I believe in you!"
"I believe that my brother, who grew up with me naked, cannot possibly say that he has no future in his life, wants to be a gangster who is looked down upon by everyone, and wants to live in such a muddle-headed way his whole life."
"So no matter what others think, I just believe in you. If they say bad things about you, that's their business. I won't say it, and I won't give up on you!"
Li Xiangyang looked over intently, not knowing whether it was because he was excited or because he drank some beer, his face was red.
"Are you satisfied with this reason?"
"satisfy!"
Zhao Shanhe felt moved in his heart. He knew that what Li Xiangyang said was true and spoke from the bottom of his heart. Li Xiangyang had always done this no matter in this life or in his previous life.
When everyone looked down upon him, despised him, and hated him, only Li Xiangyang was always by his side and never left him.
As long as you have such a brother in your life, it’s worth it!
"I told you to drink, just drink. Don't be so sensational, okay? Besides, haven't you changed your mind now? This shows that my vision is correct and my brother is trustworthy."
Li Xiangyang raised the corners of his mouth proudly and raised the bottle again as he spoke.
"Come on, let's go one more time, for the sake of friendship!"
"For friendship!"
The two raised their glasses and blew another bottle away.
Li Xiangyang is right, drink, drink, some things just need to be known to each other and kept in the heart, there is no need to say everything.
"You said, at this time last year, you would have told me that we would have two factories and the products produced would be very popular. I would kill you and I would not believe it! But now, it has really become a reality.
So, no one can predict the changes in this world." Li Xiangyang sighed and shook his head with a smile.
"Who said it wasn't that?"
Zhao Shanhe smiled and nodded, and while eating peanuts, he said casually: "At this time last year, I was still selling shaved ice. I didn't have any other ideas at that time. My biggest wish was to watch Qiu Ya count every night when I went back.
Money. Seeing her happy face when she counted the money made me feel happy."
Li Xiangyang raised the wine glass in front of Zhao Shanhe: "You, you should really thank Qiu Ya. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be where you are now."
"Yes, I am prepared to spend my whole life repaying it." Zhao Shanhe also raised his wine glass.
"It must last a lifetime."
The two clinked their glasses and drank it down in one gulp, then continued to chat casually. As they chatted, Li Xiangyang looked at Zhao Shanhe's somewhat thin face and suddenly took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
