Suddenly, shouts were heard outside the door. The waiter looked outside from time to time and vaguely heard the sounds.
Zhou Xiaozheng jumped up, startling everyone. He waved his hand, "They're looking for me. Good boy, they found me here. You guys eat first, I'll go out and take a look."
Before he could come out, the door was pushed open and a group of people rushed in, each holding Zhou Xiaozheng and jumping and laughing.
Zhao Chuangguang came in with a smile, and when he saw Cheng Hongli, he shouted, "Red Pepper, why are you still the same as before? That brat Zhao Dashan has got you a lot of cabbage."
Zhao Dashan stood up with a smile and patted him. "You're still as careless as ever. How did you find the land? We were just saying today that you need me to take care of you for the next two days. Brother Zheng is going up the mountain to hunt. What do you think?"
Zhang Guoqing hurriedly got up to move the chairs, then quickly asked the waiter to put down his hands and add more seats and dishes. Several elderly men had already lifted Zhou Xiaozheng up and thrown him down. Several people, crying and laughing, finally managed to pull themselves to sit at the table.
Zhou Xiaozheng said to everyone: "This is Zhao Dashan. You haven't forgotten him, have you? You have eaten a lot of his melons." After that, everyone laughed.
Then he introduced, "This person may be unfamiliar to you, but there is one person you are familiar with. He is Zuo Sen's younger brother Zuo Lin, also a veteran who has retired."
Someone nearby immediately asked, "Brother Zheng, is this the Zuo Sen who called himself a leopard and was defeated by you, the Siberian tiger?"
Zhao Chuangguang came over and immediately patted him on the head, "Old Five, you're still the same, that stinky habit of always telling the truth. He's my younger brother, you should take it easy. Brother, you must be Zuo Lin, right? You're much more pleasing to the eye than that old fellow Zuo Sen."
Zhou Xiaozheng ignored their clamor and continued to introduce, "You all should know this person."
"Red Chili Peppers" several people shouted.
Cheng Hongli slammed the table, "Enough, stop yelling at me, there are two younger ones here, can you please give your sisters some face?"
The shout of "No" was deafening, and everyone burst into laughter after that.
Cheng Hongli rolled her eyes. "Next to me is our Zheng Ge's wife, Lin Lishan. I won't introduce her. This side is Zuo Lin's wife. As for the two younger ones, one is..."
"Our son-in-law!" Even Zhao Chuangguang shouted, banging on the bowl. Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and shook his head. When their voices died down, he said, "This is my son-in-law, and this is his second brother. They were supposed to go to Zuo Lin's house to sit and do some work in the evening, but I asked them to come directly here."
Zhao Chuangguang slapped his thigh and shouted, "Zuo Lin, can you do it? Can you do anything? How about we just do it ourselves?"
Zuo Lin glared at him. "What do you mean by 'can't'? How can a man say he can't? I don't need you to do this. It's very simple. How did you find this place?"
Zhao Chuangguang pointed at his head and said, "Brothers, you are very smart and have great foresight. You came here following the tire tracks. What do you think?"
"Awesome, since you are so awesome, let's drink three glasses first. Xiaowu, pour some wine for your fathers-in-law." Zhao Dashan said with a wicked smile.
After hearing this, Zhou Xiaozheng quickly pulled Zhang Guoqing and said with a smile, "Let's make it clear first, I am the only father-in-law here, and my Jiaojiao will not share any of yours."
Zhao Chuangguang and the others laughed out loud, "Brother Zheng, you are too stingy. Isn't our little princess ours?"
"That's right, Brother Zheng, be more generous. I finally have a goddaughter. I'm crazy about her being my father-in-law."
Zhou Xiaozheng shouted loudly: "Xiaowu, pour some wine for your uncles. Pour it vigorously. Make your uncles happy."
Zhao Chuangguang waited for Zhang Guoqing to come to him and patted him on the shoulder. "Not bad, not bad, so you're our son-in-law. Xiaowu, next time you come to the provincial capital, just say you're Zhou Xiaozheng's son-in-law. I guarantee you'll be able to walk all over the military district. Don't go with the old man next time. The old man isn't as popular as our Zheng Ge. Remember, when anyone asks you who you are, just call him the son-in-law of the Northeast Tiger."
Feng Wei quickly grabbed Zhang Guoqing and said, "My son-in-law, don't listen to your foolish Uncle Guang. If you shout at the gate that you are the son-in-law of the Northeast Tiger, a group of people will definitely come and beat you up. Our Brother Zheng has a lot of enemies. Our Brother Zheng has made several female soldiers faint from tears. Everyone is gnashing their teeth."
"That's right, your Uncle Guang is not suitable. If you need money, go to him. Other things are not suitable. This fool was crying and laughing today, saying that he recognized the wrong sister-in-law. We were scared to death. Haha."
Zhao Chuangguang was furious. "You old bastards, remember this! You're all exposing my shortcomings, right? I'm telling you, Feng Wei, how did you backfire? How did you get promoted when your stance was so unsteady?"
Yang Liyang slapped his thigh after hearing this, "What a loss, what a loss, a huge loss, how did A Guang bribe you? I see he's involved."
The other two followed suit, and Zhou Xiaozheng stepped forward to raise his glass. "Brothers, we're all together again. It's not easy. Cheers!"
"Cheers!" The wine glasses clinked, making a crackling sound. Zhang Guoqing saw that everyone had finished their drinks, so he put them down and sneaked out. He went to the kitchen and saw the fat chef. "Fat chef, it was a bit noisy tonight. Please bear with me. Cook more dishes."
The fat old man nodded with a smile and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's lively here, I've already ordered the wine. Just sit back and relax, I'll take a look at the dishes and stop when they're almost done."
"Master Fat is the real expert. Serve them some meat dishes. They're all soldiers and have big appetites. They rushed here from the provincial capital, so they probably haven't eaten yet. Make them some cakes or something to fill their stomachs."
Zhou Xiaozheng watched Zhang Guoqing go out and come back in, winked at him, and Zhang Guoqing nodded. Zhou Xiaozheng felt relieved and did not go out to order food.
Zhao Chuangguang was saying, "...When I heard that it was my sister-in-law, I guessed she had taken the child back to her parents' home. That's good. I'll be relieved to see that the child is well taken care of. When Qingming Festival comes, I'll talk to Brother Zheng and let him rest assured that my sister-in-law and the child are fine."
Zhang Guoqing was completely bewildered, but it took him a moment to realize what a fool he was. No wonder he hadn't come to see Jiaojiao. He'd probably given Jiaojiao and her cousin quite a few gifts. He could understand why the Lin family was so generous, often gifting them watches and other such things. These five people were powerful and had plenty of money. The Lin family, ah, seemed to have overestimated them.
Zhang Guoqing stood up, poured wine for them all, then picked up the glass and said, "Uncles, I want to say thank you on behalf of Jiaojiao. If she were here, she would also say thank you sincerely. She didn't see the people and the things, but she received all your kindness. You have spent a lot of effort over the years, and thank you for always thinking about Jiaojiao. I will drink three glasses first, and then toast you a glass on behalf of Jiaojiao. When she comes out after one month, I will ask her to cook a table of delicious food to thank you." After saying that, he drank three glasses in a row first, and finally picked up the glass, bent down slightly respectfully, touched the glasses of the five people, and drank it in one gulp.
Zhao Chuangguang led the applause and said, "Xiaowu, if you have any problems, just look for your godfather. Your father is not here, and your godfather will support you. Do whatever you want, and your godfather will still protect you. Go back and tell our little princess not to be afraid, and look for her if you have any problems. Her father and five brothers are in the Northeast, and no one dares to touch her. Because she is our child, she can do whatever she wants. Your godmother has some connections in the provincial capital, so if you have any problems, just look for your godfather directly. Go to JXC and tell him that you are looking for your godfather, and someone will take you to me."
Zhang Guoqing nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, I will definitely come to you guys whenever I have something to do. Don't worry, you are my father's brothers, I won't be polite to you."
Feng Wei smiled and said, "Okay, well said! We are brothers who are closer to your father than brothers themselves. We are brothers who can trust each other with our lives, so don't be afraid of us making things difficult for you if something happens."
