Li Xiangyun has already come over to call us for dinner.

Several people then went over.

The brigade leader and his wife, Zhang Guihua, also came.

The brigade leader said with a smile, "Father-in-law, please sit down. Let's have a good drink together today."

Li Xiangyun prepared a very lavish meal, including spare ribs and braised pork. She also asked Huo Changgen to buy two chickens from the commune.

One was stewed into chicken soup, and the other was braised.

There was also green pepper stir-fried with cured pork.

She also made two steamed egg custards for Yun Ningyan.

I served her another bowl of chicken soup with a large chicken leg in it.

Wang Cuihong was green with envy!

But this time it was Yun Ningyan's parents who came, and her mother-in-law had already given her several instructions.

Tell her not to cause trouble, or she'll make Huo Jianguo divorce her.

At the dinner table, the captain introduced the children to Yun Qinzhi with a smile: "This is the eldest, Huo Jianguo; the second is Huo Jiandang; the third is Huo Junshan; the fourth is not at home, he works in the transportation team; and this is the fifth."

Yun Qinzhi laughed and said, "I really envy your family. It's so lively! With so many children, no one would dare to mess with you anywhere."

The brigade leader waved his hand: "No matter how many sons you have, they're all just farmers. They don't have the same future as those from the city."

"I think they are all excellent. Look at their height and appearance, they are all very good! They will all get better in the future."

Zhang Guihua and Li Xiangyun kept Wen Yingqiu and the others company while they talked.

Zhang Guihua praised, "Ningning is amazing! I've only been using the snow cream she made for a short time, and look how much better my skin has become. Even the freckles are gone."

Li Xiangyun said proudly, "That's my daughter-in-law. If Ningning's cooking isn't good, my old face will look much younger."

Yun Ningyan felt a little embarrassed by their praise.

He ate with his head down, gnawing on her big chicken leg.

Zhang Guihua said with a smile, "Ningning, you should eat more now. You're eating for two now."

Yun Lang and Yun Gan, who were eating with their heads down, felt something was off when they heard this.

What does it mean to eat for two people?

Yun Lang looked up at Huo Junshan, who touched his nose guiltily and continued to pour wine for Yun Qinzhi.

Wen Yingqiu smiled and said, "Nannan is pregnant now! You two should eat quickly."

The two men's expressions were inscrutable, and Yun Lang secretly glared at Huo Junshan.

This guy doesn't dare tell them the truth.

What a coward.

Yun Qinzhi thought about where he was going in the afternoon and decided it was not a good time to drink alcohol.

I didn't drink it.

Once he stopped drinking, only Yun Lang and Yun Gan remained, and the Huo brothers enthusiastically pulled the two of them to drink.

Huo Junshan was much more relaxed, only pouring wine but not drinking it himself.

He was afraid of being exposed to the smoke.

His mother-in-law probably won't be sleeping with his wife tonight.

He can then openly and legitimately sleep with his wife in his arms.

In the end, Yun Lang and Yun Gan both drank themselves into a stupor.

It was Huo Junshan and Huo Jianshe who escorted the person back into the house.

I just lay down on the bed.

The two of them then fell fast asleep.

They even said they'd go hunting wild boar tonight!

They're already dreaming, why bother hunting wild boars?

Yun Qin drove away by himself in the afternoon.

He went to the county to look for someone.

Wen Yingqiu simply ignored him.

Yun Qinzhi drove directly to the county government compound. When the gatekeeper asked him who he was looking for, he smiled and said, "I'm looking for Secretary Xiao!"

After the doorman had him sign the registration form, he called the secretary's office.

They only let him in after they agreed.

Yun Qinzhi pushed open Secretary Xiao's office door, where the person at the desk was still looking down at documents.

He said in a deep voice, "Please sit down first!"

Yun Qinzhi joked, "Our Secretary Xiao is quite dedicated, isn't he? He doesn't even look up when old friends come over."

Secretary Xiao, who was writing something at his desk, looked up when he heard the voice.

He was somewhat shocked!

"Old Yun! You're really back! I thought you'd died out there!"

He got up and quickly walked to Yun Qinzhi. Yun Qinzhi smiled and said, "You're not dead yet, how could I possibly die out there? Besides, I've already found my daughter, so I can't possibly die!"

After they finished speaking, they immediately gave each other a big hug.

Secretary Xiao said with relief, "I heard a couple of days ago that someone had come back, and I didn't believe it. They really let you come back."

"I have to come back! This is our country, and our country needs me!"

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. You didn't suffer much while you were out there, did you?"

Yun Qinzhi shook his head: "That's all in the past. I've come to you because I need your help."

Secretary Xiao waved his hand repeatedly: "Our relationship is not something to beg for. Tell me why."

“My daughter is a sent-down youth in Hongxing Brigade, and I’m worried that she’ll suffer there.”

"Please keep an eye on her for me. Call me if anything happens. I'm worried someone might bully her."

Secretary Xiao laughed and said, "Don't worry! My son Zhenhua has already gone to work as a teacher in the Hongxing Brigade! I was originally against him going."

"But he insisted on going there because he liked a girl there. He gave up his good job and insisted that I transfer him to be a teacher."

Secretary Xiao recalled that when the old leader was still alive, he had said that he wanted to arrange a marriage between his daughter and the girl from the Qin family!

His son had already been born by then.

"Qinzhi, we were once betrothed as children, do you remember?"

Yun Qinzhi interrupted, "Don't talk nonsense. My daughter is already married and pregnant! Let's not talk about that anymore."

"Hehe, my son is so handsome, don't you think it's a pity?"

Yun Qin waved his hand: "I have to go back in a bit, you go ahead and do your work!"
