Zhao Qiang picked up the wine, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's really average. Next time, I'll bring you a special bottle of Maotai. How about it?"
"Haha, don't say that. When you say it, I still miss the taste! Tsk tsk, it's not ordinary beauty!" Old man Liu's face was full of nostalgia, "This special offer is not about drinking.
You can drink it. Back then, every time I came back from a mission, the commander would give me a bottle. Wow, it tastes really good!"
Hearing what Old Man Liu said, Zhao Qiang's expression changed, "What? When Old Man Liu was a soldier, he also performed missions?"
"Executed! Haha, Old Man Lu and I both walked out of the hail of bullets." Old Man Liu laughed at himself, "I can't say more about the specific things, but if I were asked to choose again now, I might choose to do it sooner.
Retired from the army."
Zhao Qiang clinked glasses with Old Man Liu and said with a smile: "Done!"
"Done it!" Old man Liu also had a smile on his face. As a former soldier, drinking like this is the most enjoyable thing.
After a glass of white wine, Zhao Qiang felt a warmth rising in his stomach. Zhao Qiang smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, tell me why you chose to retire from the army?"
Old man Liu shook his head, sighed, and said, "Zhao Qiang, have you also been a soldier?"
Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "I have been in the army for a while." Zhao Qiang did not tell lies. After studying with Long Shihao for a few years, the old man threw him into the army for training. And it was not an ordinary army, it was the top one in the country.
The special forces, "Snow Wolf Special Commandos"! There, Zhao Qiang met Lang Yixin. After returning, he and Lang Yixin joined the mysterious organization affiliated to the country with the code "Tan" of the Ministry of National Security. And there,
I met the boss, Xing Aotian and others again. Along the way, although Zhao Qiang was only twenty-five or six, the things he experienced were enough to make him feel a bit of vicissitudes of life.
"Then you should know the discipline of soldiers!" Old Man Liu said sternly. "Although I have been retired for many years, I still regard myself as a soldier!"
Old Man Liu's words sounded like he was scolding Zhao Qiang, but Zhao Qiang had a solemn expression as he picked up the wine glass and said, "Old Liu, I respect you!" Then he drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp.
Old man Liu shook his head, drank the white wine in the glass, and smiled at Zhao Qiang: "You boy, drink slowly. If you drink too much, there will be no one to talk to an old man like me!
"
Zhao Qiang grinned and said: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, I can't do more for you! Haha, today I will accompany you, Mr. Liu, until you get drunk!"
"Oh, you bastard, are you trying to compete with me? Let's see who of us will fall first today! Let's do it!" When Old Man Liu heard Zhao Qiang's words, he was still unconvinced. When he was in the army, his drinking capacity was very high.
First and foremost, now this little devil dares to compete with me, I have to show him some color!
But... I never thought that after three rounds of drinking, Zhao Qiang still looked calm and his heart was not beating, but Old Man Liu's face was already red. The two bottles of white wine had bottomed out, which was enough for one person to drink.
Already.
Seeing Old Man Liu pouring the last glass of white wine, Zhao Qiang quickly stopped him. Drink again? You will vomit if you drink any more! Zhao Qiang held down the bottle and said with a smile: "Old Liu, don't drink it yet.
We don’t have many opportunities to drink, right? Why do we need to drink so much at once?”
Old Man Liu shook his head. Not only was his face blushing, his eyes were also a little red, "You don't understand."
Zhao Qiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If you don't tell me, how will I understand?"
"Do you know what day it is today?" Old Man Liu sighed.
Zhao Qiang saw that the corners of Old Man Liu's eyes were moist, and he was puzzled, "What day is today?"
Old Man Liu stared at his reddish eyes and said slowly: "Today is the death anniversary of my wife and my son!"
Zhao Qiang was shocked and his face was stern. He had always thought that Old Liu was not married yet, but he did not expect that his wife and son were already dead. Zhao Qiang asked softly: "Old Liu, what is going on?"
Old man Liu was so drunk that he no longer cared about discipline or irregularities. He said: "More than 20 years ago, my parents arranged a wife for me. It was not like now. At that time, the parents' orders were the matchmaker's orders.
Words are still very important! At that time, both parties felt good, and we got married after a while. I was already in the army at that time, and had very little time to go home. When I came home for another vacation, my wife already had a daughter-in-law.
I gave birth to my child, a boy. Haha, I was as happy as a wild dog running wild. He is as smart as you, but also quite naughty. If he were still alive, he would be as old as you.
"
Old Man Liu compared himself to a wild dog, but Zhao Qiang did not feel the slightest bit of teasing in his heart. He frowned and asked, "Then how did Grandma Liu and...your son die?"
"Listen to me." Old Man Liu sighed and said slowly. "It wasn't long after the baby was born. Not long after, I went on another mission. I was the captain of that mission, and the mission leader
The content was to arrest a big drug lord. Who knew that there were some mistakes in that mission, and the big drug lord actually escaped. Even so, we still got them all together. The big drug lord was furious and investigated clearly.
My message killed my wife and children! Then, the drug lord also committed suicide."
Zhao Qiang felt a chill in his heart. This big drug lord was really angry. But Old Man Liu's family... was really pitiful. They didn't recruit anyone, they didn't offend anyone, and yet such a huge disaster happened.
On their heads. It can even be said that what does this have to do with Old Man Liu? He also received orders from above. He has committed his own sins and cannot survive. So how can Old Man Liu be doing justice for God? How could he receive such retribution?
Some people and some things can never be put on the table. For example, Old Man Liu's great achievements, such as the suffering that Old Man Liu's family has suffered.
Who to talk to?
Who can I talk to?
After saying these words, Old Man Liu was already in tears. Zhao Qiang did not comfort him, it could also be said that he did not know how to comfort him now. He raised his glass and said softly: "Old Liu... no! Godfather, it's done.
!" After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
The sound of "Dad" made Old Man Liu feel a little dazed, and then he laughed loudly, "Okay! Okay! Do it! Good son! Do it!" Old Man Liu is over sixty years old this year, which means that he is in his forties.
A child born when he is about 10 years old can be regarded as a child of old age. Zhao Qiang's "godfather" may make Old Man Liu feel a generation younger than Lu Yubo, but such a happy thing, Old Man Liu also estimates that
Not so much anymore, my heart is full of joy. The greatest sorrow in life is that the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man, his son died, and I am in such a state of desolation, but there are still people who are willing to recognize me as my father, and I am still the same.
A very satisfied young man, how could Old Man Liu be unhappy?
After finishing the last glass of liquor, Old Man Liu said with a self-deprecating smile: "Aren't you kidding me to make me happy? I'm a useless person. If you call me godfather, you won't get much benefit, and it might even drag you down.
"
Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "I don't want to ask for any benefits. Originally, you are my elder, and I am willing to accept you as my godfather. Hehe, but... you are now a generation lower than Grandpa Lu.
Oh!"
After hearing what Zhao Qiang said, Old Man Liu came back to his senses. He wiped away his tears carelessly and looked at Zhao Qiang with wide eyes, "Good boy, are you trying to set a trap for me with your feelings? Use yourself as the bait.
, thank you for being able to figure it out!"
Zhao Qiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Godfather, what are you thinking about? How could I be some kind of...bait? It's what I feel, I really do what I feel!"
Seeing Zhao Qiang's apologetic smile, Old Man Liu lost his temper and said angrily: "Does what you just said still count?"
"It counts! It definitely counts!" Zhao Qiang nodded quickly.
"Hmph! I don't care if you do the math!" Old Man Liu curled his lips and snorted: "Wait for me, kid. I'll go to the toilet and I'll teach you a lesson when I come back!" As he spoke, Old Man Liu
He walked out unsteadily.
Zhao Qiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. The godfather he just recognized is really quite the best!
…
It is said that people have three urgent needs, and Old Man Liu was really in a hurry. It was obviously too late to go to the toilet in the school building. So, Old Man Liu took two steps quickly, stood on the roadside and faced the corner to solve the problem.
As soon as they were settled, they saw a group of sneaky young people with hair dyed like chickens coming to the school gate, holding a big bucket in their hands, and they didn't know what was in it.
As soon as the wind blew outside, Old Man Liu sobered up a lot. He felt nervous, these little bastards were not being kind! So Old Man Liu quietly followed the group of little ruffians.
The group of chickens circled the perimeter of the school and poured all the water in the vat around the corner.
Old Man Liu followed closely and saw them pouring water. He felt a little confused. When he walked to the corner, he sniffed lightly and was suddenly shocked.
This is gasoline!
What are you pouring gasoline for?
Of course it was set on fire!
Oh my God! Set fire to the school?!
When Old Man Liu figured it out, he suddenly became excited.
Now is not the time to solve the problem by just following. Although Lu Yubo did not let Old Man Liu take care of things, he just gave Old Man Liu a place to live in the name of an older man, but at this time,
Old Man Liu would never allow himself to back down. So, Old Man Liu jumped out immediately, his face still rosy from drinking, his wrinkled old face was full of evil spirits, and his eyes were round and angry.
