The "spirit" and "soul" of the old pub are in wine and people. Everyone has their own promises and stories. Among them, the second child played by teacher Niu Ben is the most touching.

The second child is a lonely old man who lives in a thatched cottage a few miles away and is hooked by a wine bug in his stomach. As long as he saves enough money, he will go to that old pub for a drink. Just as he promised when he first entered the door, he only drank two glasses of wine at a time, and when he got a seat, he gave up his seat as soon as the guests arrived. The lonely and poor old man is clear-headed and upright.

What the latter two have been doing is to "see through without breaking". Two or two secretly added wine to the third master, but he "can't see through it", leaving more money for drinks and not freeloading; The drunk who pulled out the tree gave him a glass of water, and he "saw through it and didn't say anything". Chen Huaihai slowed down the clock in the shop for half an hour and wanted to keep the second child for more than two hours. He "saw through" and didn't tell the truth. He only drank for half an hour, regardless of the wind and rain, lived far away, and got up and left. Later, as he said, "two cups a day, bring your own side dishes, stand in the corner and take up no space", and appear among the drinkers like a background board. Chen Huaihai has a kind heart. He sympathized with his old age and was willing to make room for him. But when the second child is full of guests, he automatically gives up his position and only stands in a corner of the pub.

In fact, the "second child" represents a kind of people who are disciplined, reasonable, honest and have their own strengths. As Chen Huaihai, the shopkeeper of the old pub, said, "Laoerliang" walked ten miles in the heavy rain and came to the old pub to drink, not because the wine was delicious, but because it was like home. "Laoerliang" has no home. He is in charge of the old pub.
