Chapter 113 You Can’t Do This
This touched the heart of Lao Wang.
Perhaps because of the wine, Lao Wang opened up his mouth as soon as he drank a mouthful of wine. He was completely different from the stubborn old man he usually was. At least at this moment, he was willing to speak from the heart.
By the time the meal was over, Lao Wang was already satisfied with the wine.
He was already half drunk.
This was Maotai, not an ordinary wine. Although it tasted mellow, it had a strong aftereffect.
When Liu Jianan came back from planting trees outside, he smelled alcohol as soon as he entered the cave.
He was shocked. In this day and age, they couldn't buy alcohol.
Liu Jianan looked over in a hurry. Sure enough, Wang Guoxiang was on the crooked platform.
He walked over in a hurry.
"Lao Wang, what's wrong with you? Why are you still drinking?"
Liu Jianan felt that it was bad. Lao Wang was good in everything else, but he had no resistance to alcohol.
What if I get tricked by Captain Zhou because of this drinking?
"Old Liu! You don't know what I drank today. I drank Moutai, you know? 20 years old. It tastes good, so mellow, I feel so comfortable after drinking it.
Old Liu, even in the past, I have never drunk Moutai of such a long age. Although I had a decent job at that time, I couldn't drink good wine like this, and I couldn't afford Moutai.
I didn't expect that I, Old Wang, could drink Moutai here. It's really unpredictable."
Liu Jianan knew at a glance that Old Wang was drunk, otherwise he wouldn't say such drunken words.
"Old Wang, don't be like this. I just want to ask you, did you promise Captain Zhou and the others something?"
"Promise, what did you promise?"
Old Wang raised his head and looked at Liu Jianan in confusion, obviously a little confused.
"Captain Zhou didn't ask me to promise anything?"
Liu Jianan felt relieved. He was afraid that Old Wang would make trouble because of drinking, but he didn't expect that Captain Zhou was still a gentleman.
I didn't take advantage of Lao Wang's drunkenness to force him to submit.
Thinking of this, Liu Jianan felt much more relaxed.
"It's good that you didn't agree. If you agreed to go to the duck farm, it would be bad. Don't let a drink ruin your life. I'm telling you. Compared with your life, what does that wine mean?
I told you that drinking ruins your life and asked you to quit. But you don't want to do it this time, right?"
"What do you mean by drinking ruins your life? Drinking doesn't ruin your life at all. Captain Zhou and Deputy Captain Jiang are both good people.
They are really good people. I thought this was a Hongmen Banquet. Both of them knew that I loved drinking. They deliberately brought Moutai to lure me.
I drank this, thinking that it was a trap set by them anyway, so don't blame me for falling into it. I didn't agree to them, but I had to drink this wine.
This is 20 years of Moutai. It's a waste if I don't drink it. As a result, the two of them didn't mention the duck farm at all from beginning to end, so I drank Moutai for nothing."
With Lao Wang's alcohol tolerance, he is indeed not completely guilty. At this moment, Lao Wang is still half sober.
Being able to say this proves that Lao Wang is not drunk.
"I am really comforted that you think so. I never thought that the two of them could hold back."
Liu Jianan couldn't help but look up to Captain Zhou and the others. These two captains are not ordinary people.
Lao Wang and he could both think of the means that the other party would use, but the other party did the opposite.
Only a person with a vision can do this.
Lao Wang went back to plant trees the next day.
On Saturday, Jiang Yifan called Lao Wang away again.
"Let's go, let's talk to you, Lao Zhou. My wife made delicious food today. I'm going to eat it for free, and I'm also going to drink his wine.
I'm a little embarrassed to be alone, so why don't you be my companion? Anyway, you are indispensable for drinking, so you are responsible for drinking."
Wang Guoxiang was a little embarrassed. When he came to the brigade headquarters and saw Zhou Zhengan, he hesitated for a while, but still spoke.
"Captain Zhou, please don't spend so much money. I know what you want to do with Moutai. I really can't agree to it. I'm so old and have experienced so many ups and downs. I don't want to die a bad death at the age of old age."
"Captain Zhou, please don't spend so much money. I will feel bad."
Zhou Zhengan laughed after hearing this.
"Oh, Lao Wang, you think too much. I won't force you. Besides, we don't drink Moutai today. If you want me to treat you Moutai every meal, I can't afford it.
Let's drink our special Shaodaozi today.
This is Director Wang from the supply and marketing cooperative. They specially brought back a batch of new goods. I heard that this batch of Shaodaozi is very famous. You should try it."
Wang Guoxiang was relieved when he heard this. He didn't have the face to drink Moutai every meal.
Shaodaozi is different.
In their Northwest, Shaodaozi is everywhere.
It's just the difference between good and bad.
Wang Guoxiang didn't leave again this time. The three of them were drinking in the office again. The difference this time was that the liquor in Shaodaozi was strong. Old Wang got drunk and said a lot.
He told all the grievances in his heart over the years.
In the end, a man in his 50s cried like a child.
Zhou Zhengan felt bad too. Seeing Old Wang crying like this, he felt that he was really a bad person.
Even if you want to use Old Wang, you can't torment him like this.
Old Wang felt aggrieved.
After sending Lao Wang back, Zhou Zhengan and Jiang Yifan sat in the office.
"Forget it. Xiao Jiang, why don't you look for Lao Wang? I can't bear it if we keep going like this. What I'm doing is not human.
Is it human to stab someone in the heart and let him take such a big risk?"
"I couldn't bear to see Lao Wang crying today. Seeing such a grown man crying like that. There are too many grievances he has suffered over the years.
But without Lao Wang, what will happen to our duck factory? Are we just going to stop running?"
Zhou Zhengan stood up.
"Do it! How can we not do it? Without Lao Wang, there are still Lao Li and Lao Liu. I will try to find out from other teams. Ask a capable person to come back."
Zhou Zhengan did what he said. As expected, he found out that there was a capable duck farmer in their local area.
He was not a comrade from their special unit, but an old farmer who was born and raised there.
Huang Laogen used to raise ducks in other places, and it is said that he raised ducks for many years.
Later, he returned to the local area when he was old, after all, his wife and children were here.
Zhou Zhengan found out the address of Huang Laogen.
He hurriedly bought some things with Jiang Yifan and went to visit.
When the two people bought things and left the supply and marketing cooperative, many people saw them.
There was a lot of discussion, and everyone knew that the captain and the deputy captain went to find capable people for their duck farm.
Wang Guoxiang looked at their backs as they left in the car and lowered his head silently.
