Chapter 2476

~6 min read 1,030 words

It had been snowing in Yanzhong City these days, and now there was snow on the sidewalk. The little wind blew, and it was chilly. However, the tables on the sidewalk were full of people. The table Su Xinghui and the others sat at was just vacated by someone who had finished eating.

Eating barbecue was very popular in Yanzhong City. The enthusiasm of Yanzhong citizens for eating barbecue was something ordinary people couldn't understand. Therefore, no matter how cold it was, there were many people who came out to eat barbecue, preferring to sit on the side of the road and blow in the wind.

The environment here couldn't be compared with the environment on the top floor of the Yanzhong Grand Hotel. In the suite on the top floor of the Yanzhong Grand Hotel, through the floor-to-ceiling glass, you could see the night view of the entire Yanzhong City. The room was warm as spring, and the wine table was full of delicacies.

But here, there was only a small table, garbage was thrown everywhere on the ground nearby, and the cold wind was blowing, waiting for the boss to serve the barbecue. But in such an environment, the three felt very happy.

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu took the barbecue order from the waiter and ordered a lot of barbecue. Su Xinghui asked, "Sister Sister Ruoqiu, can you eat so much?"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood today, so I want to eat more. Besides, if I can't eat it, isn't there you? I know you can eat!"

Yu Ruizhi also said, "Yes, I'm happy today, eat more. Xinghui, you eat more too."

Su Xinghui shook his head, but didn't express any more opinions. He was also quite happy today.

Although there were many people, the boss of the barbecue stall was very nimble. He skillfully flipped those skewers on the charcoal stove. So many skewers flipped in his hands, magically having a wonderful sense of rhythm.

Before long, a portion of their skewers was served, and the waiter sent them a box of beer. Although the temperature was below zero, beer was still the best-selling item here.

Barbecue with beer, what a harmonious picture this is.

Su Xinghui opened three bottles of beer, handed one to Yu Ruizhi and one to Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu, and picked up a bottle of beer himself and said, "Come, let's have a drink!"

The three drank a sip together, and suddenly a chill rushed from their mouths to their stomachs, making them all gasp, but they shouted together—"Refreshing."

This feeling was indeed quite refreshing. But when they put down the beer bottles and picked up a skewer of roast lamb and chewed it, that feeling was even more refreshing.

The three chewed vigorously, and in a blink of an eye, several skewers were in their stomachs. Su Xinghui drank another sip of beer, put down the beer bottle and said, "Brother Yu, Sister Sister Ruoqiu, when I recited the oath there just now, was I quite silly?"

Yu Ruizhi laughed and said, "You were quite silly. You actually recited the oath to them. Can they still understand it now?"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said seriously, "Xinghui, you are not silly at all. The way you recited the oath just now was so handsome!"

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "Sigh, I don't know what happened. It's been a long time since I joined the Party, but just now, I couldn't help but think of this oath. Every word and every sentence was clearly imprinted in my mind, making me recite this oath involuntarily."

Yu Ruizhi said, "I joined the Party earlier than you. If you ask me to recite this oath now, I can't recite it. However, for so many years, I can say that I haven't violated this oath. This is still better than Executive Vice Governor Lu, right?"

Su Xinghui said, "Actually, I don't know if I have violated this oath, but I dare say that I still have a clear conscience. Whatever I do, it is ultimately for the Party, for the country, and for the interests of the people!"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said, "I haven't joined the Party, but I dare say that I haven't done a single bad thing in my life!"

Yu Ruizhi laughed out loud, raised his beer bottle and said, "Then let's have a drink for the fact that we haven't done any bad things!"

The three raised their beer bottles together and said, "Alright, cheers!"

With the waiter coming and going, the table of the three was gradually filled with all kinds of skewers, dazzling. The craftsmanship of the owner of this barbecue stall was quite good. The skewers he roasted tasted very good, making the three eat very happily. They ate skewers while drinking beer, very comfortable.

Although the wind was still that cold, the hearts of the three were warm.

Before long, more than half of the skewers on the table were swept away, and that box of beer was also more than half gone. The three laughed loudly, eating and drinking, making passersby look sideways, but they didn't care at all.

At this moment, they cast aside their identities. They were just three ordinary people, three customers of a barbecue stall, nothing more.

And their actions were not abrupt at all. Most of the customers at this barbecue stall were like them, talking and laughing loudly, eating and drinking without any image.

Just then, suddenly, the sound of a fire engine rang out in the distance. The wuwuwu sound was very harsh, from far to near, driving toward a block not far from this street.

Many people put down their beer bottles, put down their skewers, turned their heads to the direction where the sound of the fire engine came from, and listened attentively. Their faces were a bit stunned. In such snowy weather, how could there be a fire?

The sound of the fire engine was so urgent. Su Xinghui also looked in that direction. I don't know why, but he suddenly had some ominous premonition in his heart.
