When Cheng Zhiming turned around, he saw the man standing at the door. It was actually Cheng Zhishan’s husband Pan Donglin.
Pan Donglin looked at Cheng Zhiming in surprise, "Zhiming, are you eating here too?"
He was probably the only one present who had seen him, so Cheng Zhiming stood up and introduced him to everyone.
"He is my sister's husband, Pan Donglin."
He turned around and told Pan Donglin, "They are my three brothers and three sisters-in-law."
Pan Donglin smiled at everyone and said, "Hello, brother and sister-in-law!"
When Li Qiumei saw Pan Donglin's hair combed into two tiles, she subconsciously thought of Qian Jinshu.
What era is this? Still combing your hair with two tiles!
It seems that Pan Donglin's character is similar to Qian Jinshu's.
But it seems that his face is even thicker than Qian Jinshu's.
Cheng Zhiming pointed at Cheng Zhiqian who was sitting in the main seat and said, "This is my eldest brother."
Pan Donglin quickly extended his hand, "Hello, big brother!"
Cheng Zhiqian stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.
"This is my second brother."
"Hello, second brother!"
Cheng Zhiwen nodded at him.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Although everyone had opinions about Cheng Zhishan, they still gave Pan Donglin enough face.
After everyone had introduced themselves, Pan Donglin, in a very familiar manner, asked the waiter to bring a chair over.
Li Qiumei was beginning to doubt Dr. Pan Donglin's identity. He didn't look like a doctor at all. He looked more like a seasoned staff member of a government agency.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, I just came up to say hello to a friend, and I didn't expect to run into you here.
Zhishan and the child also came and were eating downstairs.
Over the years, Zhishan... "
Cheng Zhiming quickly patted his hands and interrupted him, "Your Xinxin just snatched the balloon from my second brother's Xuanxuan and caused Xuanxuan to scratch his mouth."
Pan Donglin was surprised. "Did your sister just see you guys?"
Cheng Zhiming nodded.
Pan Donglin was a little embarrassed, "That damn woman Cheng Zhishan had already met her elder brother, but she didn't tell me.
It was because I saw Cheng Zhiming's back that I thought of going upstairs to look for him, but I didn't expect that his whole family was there.
She didn't seize such a good opportunity. Does she really want to have no contact with him for the rest of her life?
This pig-headed thing!"
Pan Donglin cursed Cheng Zhishan in his heart.
Cheng Zhiwen poured a glass of wine for Pan Donglin, "Come, drink!
Pan Donglin stood up flattered and said, "Second brother, I'm sorry!
Xinxin was spoiled by my parents since he was a child, and he actually snatched your son's balloon. I'll ask him to come up and apologize to you later."
Cheng Zhiwen shook his head, "Leave it alone, it's just a fight between children!
Besides, Zhishan has never met Xuanxuan."
Cheng Zhishan and her parents-in-law waited and waited but Pan Donglin did not come back.
The mother-in-law asked Cheng Zhishan to go look for him, "Go and see if Donglin is drunk and fell asleep sitting there."
As soon as Cheng Zhishan walked over, she saw Cheng Zhiming coming down from upstairs.
"Sister, my brother-in-law is drinking with my second brother and the others upstairs."
"What? Your brother-in-law is upstairs?" Cheng Zhishan was shocked.
Cheng Zhiming nodded, "Come out with me for a moment."
The brother and sister stood at the door of the restaurant. "Sister, after all these years, haven't you figured it out yet? You..."
Cheng Zhishan interrupted him with a smile, "Zhiming, I thought even you ignored me.
As long as you are still willing to pay attention to me, there is nothing I can't figure out.
I've heard too much of those great truths, and this is how my life will be."
Cheng Zhiming sighed, "Whatever you want!"
He turned and strode into the restaurant.
Cheng Zhishan felt that she didn't know how to face the people upstairs, so she didn't dare to go up, and was also afraid that they would come down. She just wanted to escape.
She told her parents-in-law, "Donglin is chatting with his friends. Let's go home first. He will be back later."
The parents-in-law did not suspect anything and followed Cheng Zhishan home on the bus.
When Pan Donglin came downstairs to look for them, there was no sign of them.
The next day was New Year's Eve. Li Qiumei and her two sisters-in-law went to their second uncle's house early to help with cooking.
Seeing her second uncle dragging his feet as he walked, Li Qiumei remembered what Yang Huaihua said, "Old people who drag their feet won't live long."
Cheng Zhiling had gained weight compared to when she saw her before. She looked at Li Qiumei and her three sisters-in-law and couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you three gain weight, but I'm the only one who can't stop gaining weight? This is not fair!"
Second Aunt laughed and scolded her, "You come home from get off work all day and just lie on the sofa without doing any housework. It's a wonder you can lose weight!
Fortunately, your mother-in-law is easy to get along with and doesn't bother with you.
If you were a more powerful person, you would have been chased back long ago."
Cheng Zhiling snorted, "Do you think everyone is as hateful as Pan Donglin's mother?"
At this point, Cheng Zhiling smiled and told her second aunt, "Mom, I heard from Yingzi that Cheng Zhishan was really fierce and even had a fight with her mother-in-law.
I heard that her mother-in-law couldn't beat her, so she grabbed her collar and pushed her out the door.
Xu Siyan finally couldn't help but ask, "Cheng Zhishan even dared to hit her mother-in-law?"
Second Aunt laughed, "If Zhishan had kept silent, she would have been tortured to death by her mother-in-law.
This girl chose to confront the opponent head-on, which is also a way of self-protection.
At least, now her mother-in-law doesn't dare to offend her easily."
When eating, we sit at two tables.
The men sat at one table, and the women sat at another table with their children.
The second uncle mentioned Cheng Zhishan, "Alas, I originally wanted to ask Zhishan to come over. Maybe this is the last time I spend the New Year with you."
Second Aunt heard it, turned around and spat a few times, "Pah, pah, pah," and said, "Old man, don't talk nonsense on New Year's Day!"
The second uncle ignored her and continued, "Then I thought, since this is the last New Year, we should all be happy.
I'd better not do that kind of pressure-filled thing.
When Zhishan finally comes to her senses and wants to go home, you brothers should be more generous and let her come back."
Cheng Zhiqian agreed immediately.
After saying so much, my second uncle was a little out of breath.
Cheng Zhiqian was sitting next to his second uncle, and he quickly patted his second uncle on the back.
Li Qiumei suddenly understood her uncle's help to Qian Jinshu.
It seems that the old saying that a nephew who is rich does not recognize his uncle, but a nephew who is poor will still pay homage to his uncle is true.
Because they are of the same clan and surname, they are more willing to do their best to help their nephew.
During the meal, everyone raised their glasses to toast my second uncle, and the family was having a lively time.
When Cheng Zhiqian toasted his second uncle, his second uncle told him earnestly, "Zhiqian, this family is handed over to you.
From now on, you have to take care of these younger brothers and sisters. You have to scold them when they need to be scolded, and help them when they need to be helped.
You are capable, and I believe our family will prosper under your leadership."
