Tong Dayi said, "Sister-in-law, I heard from my mother and sister that they were on the train coming here, and they happened to be in the same carriage with you and our battalion commander?"
Chen Jiao suddenly realized that Tong Xiaolan had told Lu Zhengxu on the train that she was Tong Dayi's sister.
Tong Dayi finished speaking, raised his glass and said to Lu Zhengxu and Shen Jiao: "My mother and sister were taken care of by the battalion commander and sister-in-law on the train. Battalion commander, sister-in-law, I toast to you."
