Reborn in 1985, starting from a machine factory

"Hey, you be the judge, why are you running away?"

The uncle held onto the man's sleeve tightly.

"Letting your own uncle freeze outside!"

"They're drinking and eating meat inside. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Another man walked into the house from the doorway. He was dressed in thick clothes and wearing a hat.

"Erliang, hit him," the man said.

The man named Erliang, who had been pulled back by his uncle, suddenly looked up.

"Snapped!"

The slap landed heavily on his uncle's face, and he unconsciously released his grip, looking at the person in front of him.

For an instant.

The younger uncle roared in fury, "Who the hell are you?!"

"You dare hit me?"

The man didn't answer: "Erliang, hit him again!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Erliang grabbed his uncle by the collar.

"Snapped!"

The slap landed squarely; the uncle couldn't avoid it.

"I know, you're one of Chen Mo's cronies!" the uncle said, covering his face.

"I just don't believe that Chen Mo's family is so shameless as to let their own uncle freeze and get beaten up at their own doorstep."

"Come on, just keep hitting!"

The uncle gritted his teeth and did not loosen his hands that were protecting his face.

Just as Erliang raised his hands, the man behind him said, "Stop fighting!"

"Erliang, give him my knife."

Erliang drew a knife from his bosom. The knife was about a foot long and gleamed with a cold light.

With the hilt of the knife facing his uncle, Erliang shoved it directly into his uncle's hand.

Upon receiving the knife, the uncle instinctively took two steps back.

"Come on, stab me to death!" The man loosened his coat, revealing his body covered in bandages.

"I...I...I..." The younger uncle could barely hold the knife.

"You dare not?" The man leaned forward, shaking his head slightly. "Then get out!"

"Or, you could ask Erliang if he dares?" the man said, pointing at Erliang.

Erliang grinned, revealing a set of big white teeth.

"Clang!"

My uncle shuddered, and the knife fell to the ground.

Without turning his head, he hurriedly ran towards the gate.

Chen Mo also came out of the room at this moment: "Brother Sun, what brings you here today?"

Sun Dapao picked up the knife and tightened his coat: "I'm getting tired of lying in the hospital, I thought I'd go for a walk!"

"Erliang, bring the things over here!"

"Yes," Sun Erliang replied, and walked towards the gate.

"Come in and sit down!" Chen Mo lifted the curtain.

"Wow, so many people!" Sun Dapao was taken aback when he entered the house.

"It's nothing, they're all my uncles and aunts, we're family. Have you eaten? Want some more?" Chen Mo said.

"Sun Yat-sen?"

The younger uncle murmured softly.

Chen's father also stood up and reached for the pickaxe handle on the side.

They had all seen the local thugs near People's Park to some extent.

Besides, what kind of good person would come in with a knife!

"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand!"

Sun Dapao sensed the change in the atmosphere and immediately dropped his knife.

"Chen Mo is my savior, and I've come today to thank him."

"My savior?"

Chen's father loosened the pickaxe handle; that's how it is. I think I heard Chen Mo mention it once before.

The surrounding people's eyes were still fixed on Sun Dapao.

"Grandpa, Grandma, this is just a small token of my appreciation!"

Just then, Sun Erliang squeezed into the room carrying two pig legs.

Upon seeing the people inside, Sun Erliang was taken aback, and the words that came out of his mouth were: "So many old men?"

Auntie and Li Guihua couldn't help but laugh. Li Guihua stood up and accepted the gift, saying, "You're so kind as to come, please sit down. This is too much trouble!"

"Eat some more, have some more!" she called to Sun Dapao and Sun Erliang.

Sun Dapao picked up a chair and sat down: "It's alright, you guys eat, we've already eaten."

"Shall we have a drink?" the uncle interjected.

Sun Dapao chuckled and waved his hand, "Wait a minute."

"Second Brother Chen, come and sit down. I have something to discuss with you."

"With so many elders here, this matter is easier to discuss!"

Chen Mo sat down at the table: "Brother Sun, what's the matter?"

"Let's talk about something else first. This must be the gentleman. I apologize for any offense I may have caused him before."

Sun Dapao looked at Chen's father, clasped his hands in a fist and spoke.

Mr. Chen raised his eyes, but did not answer.

Sun Dapao released his grip, picked up the teacup beside him, and casually tossed the tea aside.

Then, he took the wine from the table and poured himself more than half a bowl every time.

"I have offended you greatly. Sun Kang is here to apologize!"

Sun Dapao stood up, bent over, raised the wine bowl above his head with both hands, and pushed it forward.

He then drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

The surroundings were silent. The eldest uncle and the others looked at Sun Dapao without saying a word.

This Sun Dapao is a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the underworld), and 江湖人 have their own rules; outsiders shouldn't say too much.

The wariness in Chen's father's eyes disappeared, and he pressed his hand back down as he was about to raise it.

"Brother Chen, we had a misunderstanding before. Sun Kang apologizes to you!"

Sun Dapao speaks quickly, pours wine quickly, and drinks wine even faster.

Chen Gang wanted to speak, but the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he didn't know how to say them.

He only managed to utter two dry words: "I'm fine!"

"Second Brother Chen, before..."

"Snapped!"

Chen Mo grabbed his wine bowl and said, "Speak your mind. We're both innocent, aren't we?"

"Hey, I mean, have I really drunk that much?"

"Aren't you going to have a bowl of wine with me, Second Brother Chen?"

"I have the rest!"

"Speak, what is it?" Chen Mo said.

After downing two bowls of baijiu, the effects of the alcohol surged, and Sun Dapao's face contorted in pain. He forced himself to speak, "Erliang, kneel down!"

"Hmm?" Chen Mo turned his head.

"thump!"

Sun Erliang knelt obediently to the side, holding a red envelope in his hands, higher than his forehead.

"No, you mustn't!" Chen Mo hurriedly pulled Sun Erliang away.

Sun Dapao didn't even turn his head: "Second Brother Chen, you know who I am, and the uncles and aunts sitting here also know."

"People like us, once we have money, we have to spend it like crazy, because we don't know when we won't have the life to enjoy it!"

"Second Brother Chen, you're technically skilled and have ideas."

"If my younger brother continues to hang out with me, things are bound to go wrong sooner or later."

"I'm begging you, please take me in as your younger brother. I'll do any odd jobs and learn something from you."

Sun Dapao looked very serious.

Chen Mo couldn't lift Sun Erliang up, so he withdrew his hand: "Brother Sun, what are you doing?"

"Don't you believe me, or what's wrong?"

The aunt chimed in, "Quickly get the child up, the floor is cold."

Sun Dapao seemed not to hear at all: "Erliang is smart. He's different from me. He knows how to find a way out."

"Second Brother Chen, if you just say one word, then there is no such person as Sun Erliang."

"Only Sun Liang!"

Sun Dapao stared at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's eyes dimmed slightly. He reached out and took the red envelope from Sun Erliang's hand.

Sun Dapao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get up, don't leave yet, look at something before you go!" Chen Mo said.

"If you still ask me to accept this after I've looked at it, then I'll accept this disciple."

Sun Dapao nodded.

We had almost finished eating, and my uncle and aunt's husband were getting on in years and couldn't drink much alcohol.

Today's dinner is mainly hosted by Mr. Chen, so he can't drink too much.

The relatives left one after another.

At nine o'clock, only my uncle was left in the house. He hadn't drunk much, but his face was very red.

Realizing he was alone, he stretched and looked at Chen Mo.

"Xiao Mo, do you have enough money?"

"That's about enough!" Chen Mo said. "If it's a joint venture, that person will also contribute."

"Isn't that enough for you to talk about? I can learn how to perm my hair later, it's okay."

"Go learn how, Uncle, hurry up and give Auntie a perm with big waves."

"Haha, okay!"

My uncle smiled and walked out of the room.

Chen Rui and Chen Fen helped Li Guihua clean up the leftovers, leaving only Sun Dapao, Chen Mo, and Sun Erliang in the house.

Sun Dapao remained calm, while Sun Erliang had already stolen several glances at Chen Mo.

Seeing the person leave, Sun Dapao spoke up: "Second Brother Chen, what would you like me to see?"
