After seeing the psychiatrist this time, Lu Xiaoya found that Su Xinghui's mental state was much better, which made her very happy. Seeing a psychiatrist was still effective.

Of course, it was still a long way from Su Xinghui completely getting rid of his psychological problems. Although the death toll of the Wenchuan Earthquake in this life was much lower than in Su Xinghui's previous life, no matter how low it was, it was still tens of thousands of people. Such a huge death toll kept pressing heavily on Su Xinghui's heart, making him unable to get rid of his sense of self-reproach. He always felt that he had the ability to save more people.

But after seeing the psychiatrist this time, Su Xinghui's psychological pressure was much lighter, allowing him to work and live more easily.

The day after seeing the psychiatrist was a Sunday. On this day, Xu Zhenlin called Su Xinghui and asked him to go to the military sub-district to drink, saying that he and Xie Zhibin were waiting for him there.

Su Xinghui remembered what he had told Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin before he left, that he would drink with them when he returned. Of course, he agreed readily, and then he had Zhai Yingjie take him to the military sub-district.

Xu Zhenlin and Xie Zhibin were waiting at the gate of the military sub-district. As soon as they saw Su Xinghui's car arrive, they went up to greet him together. Su Xinghui hurriedly got out of the car and said to Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin, "Old Xie, Old Xu, why are you waiting here?"

Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin looked at each other and saluted Su Xinghui with a solemn military salute together, which made Su Xinghui a little uneasy: "Old Xie, Old Xu, what are you doing? Please don't do this!"

Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin insisted on finishing the salute, and the soldiers around them also saluted Su Xinghui with solemn expressions. After the salute, Xie Zhibin said to Su Xinghui, "Mayor Su, we all admire you. You are a real man!"

Xu Zhenlin stepped forward and affectionately took Su Xinghui's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go inside and drink."

Su Xinghui looked at the time and said, "Old Xu, isn't it a bit too early to drink at this hour?"

It was indeed still very early. When Xu Zhenlin called Su Xinghui, it was only past eight o'clock. Su Xinghui had arrived at the military sub-district, and it was not even nine o'clock. To drink now? Su Xinghui couldn't imagine it.

Xie Zhibin said, "It is a bit early, but early is good. Let's drink properly for a day. Mayor Su, do you dare?"

Su Xinghui was also stirred up with heroism in his heart. He laughed loudly and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? Let's go?"

Su Xinghui followed Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin to their family quarters and went to Xie Zhibin's home. For this drink today, Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin had specifically asked for leave to accompany Su Xinghui to drink.

Arriving at Xie Zhibin's home, Xie Zhibin personally brought out three bottles of Moutai and had his wife bring out four side dishes. Of course, there were no delicacies, just deep-fried peanuts, cold pig ears, smashed cucumber, and orchid beans.

Xie Zhibin said, "Mayor Su, have you ever drunk early in the morning?"

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "I never drink early in the morning. This is the first time!"

Xie Zhibin said, "Actually, we haven't drunk early in the morning either, but we have to drink properly with you today, so we are drinking with you so early."

Xu Zhenlin said, "Mayor Su, I have never drunk with you before, but I have heard that you have a massive capacity and have never been drunk. Today, I want to see how powerful your drinking capacity really is!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "That's fine, I also want to see your drinking capacity."

Xu Zhenlin was a member of the municipal party committee. He didn't know how many standing committee meetings he had attended with Su Xinghui. However, usually, Xu Zhenlin never had any private interactions with local cadres. Every time he finished a standing committee meeting, at most he would nod to Su Xinghui and then leave, basically not even eating in the city.

Usually, Su Xinghui basically hadn't seen Xu Zhenlin smile much. Xu Zhenlin always had a serious expression. Su Xinghui didn't expect Xu Zhenlin to have such a side, but such an Xu Zhenlin was also very much to his liking.

Xie Zhibin opened the three bottles of wine one by one and placed one in front of each person, saying, "Then let's pour our own wine and drink consciously!"

Su Xinghui and Xu Zhenlin both nodded in agreement. They both poured the wine into the cups in front of them. These cups were not big, just two-qian cups. Of course, with the situation today, one couldn't use too big a cup, otherwise, one would reach their limit in a few cups, and that wouldn't be interesting.

Xie Zhibin said, "Mayor Su, there are no good dishes in my house today, but there is plenty of wine."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Fine, I never need good dishes to drink. These things are the best side dishes."

Xu Zhenlin said, "Then I will toast Mayor Su first. This cup is to toast you for taking the initiative to go to the disaster area to participate in the rescue. You are a real man!"

Su Xinghui drank a cup with Xu Zhenlin and ate an orchid bean. Xie Zhibin said, "It's a pity. This time we also applied to go to the disaster area to participate in the rescue, but we didn't get approval from our superiors and couldn't go. Mayor Su, tell us about the rescue in the disaster area, let us listen too."

After pondering for a moment, Su Xinghui told some stories about his participation in the rescue in the disaster area this time. Every time he told a story, Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin would raise their glasses to toast him. They didn't speak the whole time; only Su Xinghui would drink a cup of wine and then tell a story.

Although Su Xinghui only stayed in the disaster area for more than half a month this time, he had experienced so many joys and sorrows, life and death. He spoke slowly, and everyone drank slowly. They talked for more than two hours, and the bottle of wine in front of each of the three people had already bottomed out.

Although a bottle of strong liquor had gone down, Su Xinghui had no sign of being drunk at all, and Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin were not drunk yet either. They were about fifty or sixty percent drunk, which made Su Xinghui admire their drinking capacity.

You know, Su Xinghui was basically immune to alcohol, while Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin relied entirely on their own drinking capacity. They could still be like this after drinking a bottle of wine, so this drinking capacity could be considered quite amazing.

Xie Zhibin got up again to bring three more bottles of wine, opened them silently, and placed one in front of each of the three people.

These days, Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin also watched TV every day, so they were relatively well-informed about the situation in the disaster area. However, how could the scenes on TV be as shocking as the narration of a direct participant like Su Xinghui?

Xie Zhibin and Xu Zhenlin were both deeply shocked as they listened to Su Xinghui's narration.
