Lu Zhixia said, "It's rare for everyone to get together, so let's cook some delicious food."
Hu Youli looked at the wine on the ground and exclaimed, "Damn, this is good wine! I can't drink tonight, what am I going to do!"
Zhu Hong said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you take the day off? It would be such a waste not to eat such good food and wine!"
Hu Youli felt he couldn't miss this meal, and couldn't help but look at his wife, Zhu Yu.
"Can I ask for leave?"
Zhu Yu said indulgently, "Okay, if you drink too much later, I'll ask for leave for you!"
Having received his wife's approval, Hu Youli rolled up his sleeves.
"Then I'm definitely going to drink a lot at noon today, at least one bottle!"
Lu Zhixia didn't expect him to love drinking so much; luckily, she had made careful arrangements.
Except for Yuanyuan, who stayed at home, all the other children went to school.
So we just put the two tables together and ate around them.
Lu Zhixia personally poured them the wine, saying, "I don't know if this wine tastes good or not."
Hu Youli said, "How could it not taste good? It costs more than ten yuan a bottle, which is half a month's salary for me!"
Zhou Cheng said, "This wine has a mellow and sweet taste; it's authentic old-fashioned fermented wine."
Hu Youli clinked glasses with him and said, "Today we're going to drink until we drop. I'm definitely going to have a good drink with you."
Lu Zhixia was afraid he would be too drunk to answer questions, so she could only say,
"Comrade Hu, actually I have something else I'd like to ask you."
"Ask away!" Hu Youli put down his cup. "By the way, have you found Dr. Ma yet?"
Lu Zhixia said, "I found him. He told me the whole truth. Then I found the nurse from back then and learned that he may have given the child to a person named Tang Juan."
Hu Youli frowned and began to think. "I don't remember this name. She probably hasn't worked at the hospital for very long. Let me think about it carefully."
He reached for the cup, wanting to have another drink, but his wife covered it with her hand.
Zhu Hong said, "Hurry up and think of something. If you can't think of anything, then don't drink it."
Hu Youli's biggest fear was his wife. He closed his eyes and began to recall, going through the years one by one, until he remembered her. Only then did he open his eyes.
“I remember now, she didn’t work at the hospital for long, only a year or two, and she was much older than us.”
Lu Zhixia was a little disappointed. "She only worked there for a year or two, so you probably don't even know where she's from."
Hu Youli grinned. "I actually know, because her relative works at the hospital. I'll ask her for you when I get to work tomorrow."
Lu Zhixia went from feeling disappointed to overjoyed, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.
Su Lan tugged at her sleeve, "Sister, Comrade Hu said he knows."
Lu Zhixia: "That's great! I thought there was no road ahead again."
Hu Youli poured himself some more wine. "That's life. When you feel like there's no way forward, if you stand up a little higher, you'll find that there are many small paths ahead. As long as you keep moving forward, you'll definitely find a way out."
After a pause, he continued, "I've heard about what happened to you. That man is truly despicable; he deserves to be sent to the 18th level of hell and torn to pieces!"
People who have drunk too much tend to ramble on, and he said some incoherent things again.
Lu Zhixia regretted buying the alcohol at this moment. Seeing how much he had drunk, she knew he definitely wouldn't be able to go to work today.
I'll ask someone tomorrow, and based on the timeline, I should get a result the day after tomorrow. It's been quite a rollercoaster ride.
The meal lasted until after 2 a.m., and the men drank quite a bit.
"Old Du's family!" a shout came from not far away.
All I saw was a middle-aged woman running over, her face full of anxiety.
Zhu Hong saw that it was her neighbor, the older sister, and exclaimed, "I'm here!"
The woman said, "You all need to go back quickly, the law enforcement team is here, they say there's news about your child!"
Zhu Hong stood up excitedly, "What did you say? There's news about my child?"
The woman took a breath. "Yes! Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry to come find you!" Seeing Du Gang's dazed look, she couldn't help but give him a push. "Your son, we've found him!"
Du Gang's eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up, still a little unsteady on his feet.
Zhu Hong only said one sentence, "I'll go downstairs first!"
Then she rushed downstairs, wanting to know where her son was and whether he was still alive.
She's been having nightmares lately, and her hair has turned mostly white because she's been worrying too much.
Lu Zhixia followed closely behind downstairs, wanting to see what was going on.
Su Lan couldn't sit still any longer. "You guys keep eating, I'm going downstairs too."
Du Gang only realized what was happening at this moment and staggered forward, but Zhou Cheng grabbed him.
"Sit down first and sober up a bit before we talk. If you go downstairs like this, you might fall!"
