Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 110 What are you looking at?

"Fuck you, I won money today, let's drink for a hundred years and eat bones, isn't that nice? Where are you guys? How many times have I drunk your wine, blind man? Have I drunk your wine before? You fucking bastards, you run away as soon as you win money, you're all a bunch of bastards. When I get rich, I'll make sure you little bastards are all ruined." Old Jue shouted at the people at the table, gesturing wildly with his cup.

Blind Qu spat out the bone in his mouth and said, "Can't you just drink in peace? You've won a few bucks and you're all smug about it. This big bone can't shut you up, can it?"

Old Stubborn waved his hand: "Let me ask you, is Stubborn Brother particular? Is he particular?"

Wei Hong poured a drink and said, "Let's be polite, let's have a drink, Jue Ge. You should eat in peace for a while, all I can hear is you chattering away, it's making my ears ring." Everyone at the table laughed.

Old Jue glanced to the side and said, "Look at Fifth Brother, I was just telling those younger brothers what they were bragging about, and they quickly shut me up, afraid I'd scare away their god of wealth, hahaha."

The boss turned to the stubborn old man and said, "Drink yours, can't that big bone shut you up? Can't you see there are other people eating?"

Old Jue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll drink it, okay?" He tilted his head back, downed four ounces, burped, and ate a bite of pickled cabbage.

The boss turned to Li Xing and said, "Don't be like them. They're a bunch of scoundrels who never do anything productive. They're all messy and unreliable, but they're not bad people."

Li Xing turned and glanced at Lao Jue, but didn't say anything. Xia Maosheng asked, "Tiezi, how many days have you been studying? What's the date?"

Li Xing said, "In a week, I'll be able to become a minor official when I go back, haha. Let me tell you, if you hang out with me from now on, you'll get to drink."

Xia Maosheng leaned forward slightly and asked with a smile, "What kind of official position?"

Li Xing looked at Liu Huaxing and said, "There are twelve of us in this batch. After we finish the training and take the exam, those who pass will go to Fengtian for further training and come back to work as criminal police officers. Those who don't pass will go back to their original units and probably get a deputy director position. But there's not much point in working at the police station now. I'm thinking of getting a job as a criminal police officer."

Xia Maosheng nodded and said, "Keep it up! Criminal police are really something else. They go out every day with guns, catching people is much more satisfying than dealing with neighborhood squabbles at the police station. You're such a good student, what are you afraid of?"

Li Xing said, "This isn't about how well you study. Many of them graduated from police academy, while we're self-taught. It's different. The test is on professional skills and physical fitness. My belly's practically showing, so I probably won't be able to beat them. Shengzi is good, don't let his skinny appearance fool you, he's incredibly strong, runs fast, and can do forty pull-ups. Damn, all these people reported for the test today, and he's the only one who exceeded the standard. If you're not going to cooperate, Shengzi, let's have a drink, bottoms up! You've really hurt my feelings."

Liu Huasheng didn't say much, but smiled, picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Li Xing's, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Fuck your mother, you stubborn old man, can't you shut up for a minute? Ever since you came in, your mouth has been like a broken-down car, never stopping. All I did was drink some wine with you, okay? I'll pay you, alright? Now get out of here."

At the next table, a wine bottle fell to the ground with a loud crash and shattered. A man in a leather jacket stood up and pointed at the stubborn old man, cursing him.

Old Jue also stood up: "Fuck your mother Wei Hong, is it wrong of me to treat you to a meal? Are you trying to embarrass me? I'll fucking kill you today."

Blind Qu stood up and stopped Old Stubborn, saying to Wei Hong, "Alright, Wei Hong, don't be like him. Don't you know his personality? What's the point of being like him? Sit down, sit down and have a drink."

Old Jue reached out and shoved Blind Qu aside. Blind Qu almost tripped over the stool and yelled at Old Jue, "What are you doing? Are you going crazy today?"

Old Stubborn ignored the blind man and yelled at Wei Hong, "What are you pretending to be? Who do you think you are? Who are you telling to get lost?"

Wei Hong said, "Fuck your mother, you coward! You've really given me too much credit. If we weren't here today, I would have killed you."

Old Jue kicked the stool aside and stepped forward, saying, "Come on, kill me, kill me!"

Three soldiers in cotton-padded jackets were pulling Wei Hong aside, while Blind Qu was dragging Old Jue away. Bottles were broken, several stools were overturned, and the restaurant was in complete chaos. The restaurant owner turned to Li Xing and said, "Don't worry about it, it'll calm down soon. Let's just drink."

The people at the other table were so frightened that they all got up and ran far away, exchanging glances with each other before running away along the wall.

Xia Maosheng said, "They smash up one table and run away; nothing is easy. There are bound to be a lot of scoundrels running a restaurant. Xiaowei, what do you think we should do if we open one?"

Li Xing, gnawing on a bone, said, "It's fine for you. You can eat there every day at the government office. The thugs won't go. Just ignore the few who do go occasionally. I'll help you find the local police station later."

The boss looked at Xia Maosheng and asked, "Are you really going to open a restaurant?"

Xiao Wei and Xia Maosheng laughed together. Xiao Wei said, "Don't worry, boss, we don't run a bone restaurant, we serve Chinese food."

Li Xing looked at the three people and asked, "What's wrong?"

Just as Xia Maosheng was about to speak, there was another loud bang. Everyone turned to look and saw Wei Hong holding the mouth of a beer bottle, with bottle shards all over the ground. Blind Qu was squatting on the ground, clutching his head, with blood flowing from between his fingers.

He was clearly arguing with Old Stubborn just now, but somehow he managed to break up the fight with Blind Qu who was trying to stop it.

Wei Hong threw down the beer bottle, walked over, and slapped the blind man across the face several more times, yelling, "Get up! Kill me! You think you can take me for a second? You think you can get away with this? I don't even want to talk to you, you know that?"

Three soldiers in cotton-padded coats came over, grabbed Wei Hong, and roughly pulled her aside. The blind man's glasses were knocked off, and he clutched his head, yelling, "Old Stubborn, help me find my glasses! Are you comfortable now?"

Old Jue sat on the stool, his face red and neck bulging, clenching his fists, but he wasn't so fierce now.

A soldier in a cotton-padded military coat picked up the blind man's glasses from the ground, walked over and handed them to him, saying, "Look at the mess you've made. We were just having a nice meal, and now... is something wrong? Do you need to go to the hospital? You're bleeding."

Blind Qu covered his head with one hand and put his glasses on his face with the other. One lens shattered, turning into a white flower. He looked around and said to Wei Hong, "Wei Hong, this isn't over yet. I, Blind Qu, may not be anyone special, but I've never been treated like this before. You got the upper hand today, fine, we'll settle the score another day."

Wei Hong waved his hand and said, "Whatever, you can call people now, I'll just wait here. I'm not from this area, I'm just here, so what? If you're so capable, then get someone to deal with me, otherwise shut up." A soldier in a cotton-padded jacket pulled him aside and advised, "Say less, say less, it's not a big deal, look how bad this is going on."

The stubborn old man sitting there, seemingly lost in thought, turned his head and his eyes met Xia Maosheng's. His jaw muscles twitched, and he yelled at Xia Maosheng, "What are you looking at?"
