Seeing that everyone had finished their second glass of wine, Lu Yuan turned to look at Zhou Tong as they drank their third glass.

"This is the wine that Lao Zhou brought. Let Lao Zhou handle it."

Zhou Tong nodded slightly, held his wine glass, pondered for a moment, and then, with a slightly awkward expression on his face, slowly spoke.

"Well... actually, there's a little reason why I called everyone here today. As you probably already know, things have been settled between Liu Qian and me."

However, I'm not planning on having a banquet. After all, a banquet costs a lot of money, and there are many supplies that are hard to buy. So, I plan to set up a few tables at my local place, and everyone can come and show their support. That's all, just be witnesses for my wedding.

Lu Yuan knew what Zhou Tong was thinking. This time, Zhou Tong came not only to help him, but also had another idea: to do something with Liu Qian and have everyone witness his wedding, which was not really a wedding.

However, since Lu Yuan was their former leader, he naturally had to take the lead in helping.

So he held his wine glass and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Old Zhou, I know you're not doing so well, but the wedding still has to go on. We can't let money delay it."

Okay, I'll take care of the money for everyone. If you have family members, bring them; if you don't, bring your friends. I'll make sure we get everyone together.

"I'll take care of the venue and funding issues, as well as the supplies."

Zhou Tong immediately waved his hand in refusal.

"How can that be? No, no, I absolutely disagree with this. You and Xiaoshan have just started your life together, and you have a child."

The dimensional space is about to disappear. If you take out your things, how will you survive? I strongly disagree with this. Don't argue with me.

"Let's do it my way. Although I've spent most of the money I've saved over the years, I still have some savings. In short, I won't treat everyone unfairly. We'll just have a meal together, brothers."

Seeing Zhou Tong's determined look, Lu Yuan knew that it was almost impossible to persuade him at this point.

So he didn't say anything, but instead picked up his glass and addressed the others.

"Alright, let's not talk about this today. Lao Zhou can set a date, and we'll all go together. We'll also toast Lao Zhou in advance with the third glass of wine to wish him a happy marriage."

"Good, good, good, happy marriage, Lao Zhou, may you have a baby soon."

"Brother Zhou, then I wish you eight sons in one pregnancy."

"Haha, you've gone too far, Brother Zhou. Don't listen to their nonsense. I wish you and your wife a lifetime of love and a whole football team of children."

"You guys are going too far. How could you possibly have a football team? One child won't do. You need at least three to five."

Everyone laughed and joked as they downed their drinks in one gulp.

They then chatted about other things. Lu Yuan saw that everyone on their faces was excited, but he also sensed that they hadn't been having a very good time lately.

Lu Yuan could guess the general idea. This was mainly because the two camps had integrated their lifestyles, and the frictions, big and small, between the two sides had gradually eased.

In order to ensure the safety of both camps, the handling of the incident was generally aimed at preventing its impact from escalating.

This has led to a lot of problems, but Lu Yuan doesn't want to deal with them now. What he wants to do is to ensure that his brothers who have followed him for many years can live a good life.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhou Tong told his men to pack up their things and then returned to his residence. Meanwhile, Lu Yuan secretly called Wang Mingming over.

"Brother Lu, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Well, it's still about Lao Zhou. Why don't you call the other brothers back, and then let Lao Zhou go back first? Don't tell him about this yet. This guy has too much pride. If we forcefully interfere with his wedding, he might feel a bit uncomfortable."

Wang Mingming nodded, then whispered, "Brother Lu, actually, a few of us have discussed it and are planning to help Lao Zhou raise some money to organize a wedding for him."

After listening, Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I know you are not living a good life. Although you hold high positions, you are now struggling to make ends meet due to the integration issues of the camp."

If we want to change the previous salary issue now, it may cause dissatisfaction in other departments. I don't know what the situation is like at the other camps.

Anyway, I still have some supplies here. We can discuss it later, maybe we can partner up to open a supermarket or do some other business, and get through this difficult time first.

After hearing this, Wang Mingming's eyes widened immediately: "Brother Lu, how scarce are supplies right now? You just distributed all that food, and now you're going to sell your own stuff? What if you can't make a living in the future?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's alright. I have a few acres of land in my yard where I grow some melons, fruits, peaches, vegetables, and other plants. It shouldn't be a problem. My daughter Xiaoshan and my family of Qiqi don't eat much, so it's enough for us."

Wang Mingming sighed helplessly: "Everyone says that, but after experiencing so many years of disasters, they all understand the importance of stockpiling supplies."

Previously, people weren't aware of this, but now hoarding food has become a common practice. Even if you give away a lot of food, they can consume it all! There's no need to exchange precious food for money.
