"Come on, come on, today is a happy day, let's toast!" Yi Bo filled the glasses for several people with a smile on his face.
Xiaoqi’s birthday is today, and she has invited almost all of her close friends in Beijing.
In addition to Ling Xiao, there were also several young people including Ling Jinyue, Wenxi, Zhou Jing, Shen Xing, Zhang Taoxing, Jinping and others who came over.
"Happy birthday, Xiaoqi."
Meng Qidi looked at the full glass of wine, glanced at Ling Xiao, lowered her voice and approached, "Can I drink it?"
It's her birthday, she's definitely not going to drink Yuquan water to sober up, so I'm afraid this wine is just...
"Ling Xiao, can you drink it?" everyone joked in unison.
Ling Xiao glanced at everyone and said, "What? You guys don't want to get drunk?"
A few people looked at each other and laughed, "Then don't come back until you're drunk. We don't believe that we can't get you drunk."
Ling Xiao sneered and looked at Meng Qidi, "Do you want to drink?"
"What should I do if I get drunk?" Meng Qidi asked. She was mainly afraid that she would go crazy if she drank too much.
"I'm here, what are you afraid of?"
Ling Xiao's words did not comfort Meng Qidi. She was helpless and said, "Okay."
Anyway, she is not responsible if something goes wrong.
Several children started to make noises. Yi Bo wiped away the tears from his eyes. "They are really children. Look how happy they are."
Third Master Qiu ordered, "Remember to have someone prepare hangover soup, otherwise they will make a scene tomorrow. Has Mr. Zhao come after class?"
"It should be here soon. Should it come over here?"
Master Qiu San looked at the people who were already drinking and said, "Let's go somewhere else. Let them have fun here."
I guess I won't be able to eat the cake I prepared, but it's okay, they will have many more days together in the future, so there's plenty of time...
Several people really wanted to get Meng Qidi and her husband drunk, so they drank one glass each. Most of the wine that Yi Bo had brought was gone. Meng Qidi leaned on Ling Xiao with a slightly red cheek, holding up the wine glass.
"Everyone, get up and keep drinking. Don't go home until you are drunk."
She sneered and her face was not flushed enough. If her eyes were not a little blurry, no one would believe that she was drunk.
"Sister-in-law must be drunk." Ling Jinyue smiled and burped.
"I'm not drunk. What is this?"
Meng Qidi stretched out two fingers and shook them. Her whole center of balance was a little unstable and she leaned on Ling Xiao.
"Your hand, look, I'm not drunk!"
Shen Xing, who was standing by, took a look and laughed rudely, "Stupid, this is stupid, hurry up and drink a glass of wine."
"Pah, that's three!"
"This finger."
"Ling Xiao, are you a man? If you are, have a drink with me!"
"Tomboy, why does my boss have to drink with you to be a man? Come, I'll drink with you!"
"I'll do it!"
Several people started to quarrel, Ling Xiao's eyebrows and heart twitched, forget it, everyone is drunk, only he is not drunk...
Everyone was having a good time at the manor until very late. Except for Ling Xiao, almost everyone was drunk. Even Mr. Qiu Sanye and Zhao Dezhong drank quite a bit.
Fortunately, the manor has many guest rooms, one for girls and one for boys...
After he and Yi Bo threw everyone into the guest room, Ling Xiao went to pick up Meng Qidi, who was leaning obediently on the chair. As soon as he picked her up, Meng Qidi suddenly opened her eyes.
Ling Xiao was so shocked that he almost threw the person away, "You're not drunk?"
"No." Meng Qidi jumped down from his arms and looked at the mess around her. "Are Yi Bo and the others asleep?"
While they were sending the person back, she secretly drank a glass of Yuquan water.
Ling Xiao shook his head, "Uncle Yi has gone to look after your father."
Meng Qidi gently pulled Ling Xiao's clothes and lowered her voice a little, "I want to go see my mother."
Ling Xiao paused and nodded slightly.
Fortunately he was brave enough to visit the grave so late at night.
Although she said she was going to visit the grave, Meng Qidi did not actually go to the cemetery. She just returned to the room and sat on the balcony holding Meng Meiling's photo, in a daze.
Ling Xiao was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he put a coat on her and sat beside her to keep her company.
My birthday is my mother’s death anniversary. How can I not feel sad?
After a long while, Meng Qidi chuckled, "Don't worry about me, I'm not sad. She in heaven definitely doesn't want us to be sad. This is my new life. Her efforts and expectations will not be in vain."
In her previous life, she didn't cherish the life her mother had given her. This time, in addition to revenge, she must live well. She definitely doesn't want her to live a sad life...
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and gently put his arm around her shoulders. "Well, she definitely wants you to grow up happily and live the life you want."
The two of them sat there until late at night before going back to sleep. When they woke up the next day, it was already three in the morning.
Ling Xiao and Shen Xing have returned to the team, Zhao Dezhong and Zhou Jing have gone to school, and Wen Xi and Jin Yue have started new school.
"So, apart from Third Master and Uncle Yi, there are only two of us left at home." Xing Jinping shrugged.
"Aren't you going back to train?" Meng Qidi got some food and asked suspiciously.
"I've already been discharged from the military."
"Why?" Meng Qidi asked in shock. It was really hard to imagine that someone who worked so hard would suddenly give up his goal one day.
"No reason, I just suddenly felt it was boring and wanted to do what I wanted to do." Xing Jinping was somewhat relieved, "I have persisted for more than ten years, and it really seems like a joke."
There was a hint of surprise in Meng Qidi's eyes, but she was very sure that she was upset. Of course, she would not take the initiative to ask why. If others did not say it, she would not ask to the end.
Xing Jinping chuckled, "Thank you for your hospitality last night. We had a great time drinking. My birthday present is in the garden. I should go back now."
Meng Qidi still had half of her bun in her mouth and could only watch her leave.
Yi Bo finally packed up and came back. He didn't see Xing Jinping and asked in surprise, "Miss Jinping is gone?"
"After walking for more than ten minutes, what happened to her? I felt something was wrong with her. Why did she suddenly quit the army? She said she wanted to do what she wanted to do."
Yi Bo sighed, his face full of heartache. "This girl has had a hard time. Her mother asked her to join the army because she was afraid that she would take everything from her stepbrother. She probably had a falling out with her family a few days ago and borrowed some money from your father, saying that she wanted to go abroad."
"Going abroad?" Meng Qidi was a little surprised. The Xing family seemed to be a big family. They shouldn't be so poor, right?
As if knowing her confusion, Yi Bo said, "She cut off ties with her family. Yes, it seems that her mother asked her to marry into the Qiu family, but she was stubborn and refused."
Yi Bo sighed, "Alas, her mother wasn't like this before. After the incident with your wife, she has changed a lot."
"No more talking. Don't worry too much about the affairs of the older generation. When you have time, try to persuade Jinping. There are always more solutions than problems. Tell her not to worry..."
Meng Qidi lowered her head to eat breakfast. "It's good to go abroad. Maybe that's her dream. When she comes back, she will definitely do something."
She didn't see any decadence in Xing Jinping's eyes. She just saw a fighting spirit. She probably wanted to prove herself in another way.
