There was a large table full of various dishes on the dining table, and each dish contained meat, which was rough but filling.
"Come, let's have a drink to celebrate our gathering today!" Jian Yucheng stood up, picked up the wine and raised it in the air.
Wei Zhou slammed the table and started to cheer, "One cup is not enough? We need at least three cups, that would be considered decent!"
"Yes, three cups or more! Who can be looked down upon with just one glass of wine?" Gu Zhan echoed, and then began to instruct his son, "Mingjing, hurry up and fill up your uncles' glasses! We agreed on three cups, so that's it. No cutting corners!"
"Okay! Three cups, that's it! Cheers!" Infected by the excitement, Jian Yucheng shouted with a flushed face.
"Cheers!" The sound of clinking glasses rang out, and then it was all drunk in one gulp.
Gu Mingjing quickly poured wine for everyone. Since he was the youngest and most junior in this situation, shouldn't he be the hardworking and dedicated wine-pourer?
But he was willing to do so. They were all close uncles and he could understand their excitement at the moment.
After three cups, everyone was infected by the emotions and completely let go.
At this time, Qu Shuyun stood up and raised his glass, "Come on, let's toast Brother Yu again. I wish you a happy life after the disaster. I also hope that my wife will never wake me up in the middle of the night again!"
When the others heard this, they all laughed and joked:
"Did you hear that, Lao Wei? My sister-in-law is annoyed that you're disturbing her sleep!"
"Brother, I'll give you some advice. If you encounter something like this next time, don't call me sister-in-law. Just give Brother Yu a call and ask him to talk to you!"
Wei Zhou tugged at his wife's clothes and said, "Don't say anything out loud. Save some face for me in front of these bastards! Otherwise, they'll laugh at me to death!"
"We are friends. Is there anything we can't listen to?" Gu Zhan bumped his shoulder with a teasing look on his face.
"That's right! Sister-in-law, don't listen to him. Just tell us what you want to say. We brothers and sisters will take care of it for you!" Zhao Mingze was eager to watch the fun and started to make trouble.
Wei Zhou couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "Just shut up, you're such a mean person! I don't know how your sister-in-law can stand you!"
Zhao Mingze said proudly: "Your sister-in-law just loves me, there's nothing I can do about it!"
These narcissistic words instantly attracted ridicule from others.
"Don't flatter me, I don't believe it!"
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and come out and refute him. This guy is almost inflated to the sky!"
Meng Ying, who was dragged into the incident, calmly watched a group of people playing, as if she was not the center of the incident.
"Oh, I really do like him."
"Look, look! I told you so!" The person's admission instantly made Zhao Mingze proud. He kept showing off, his tail almost reaching the sky.
"Eh——" Others stepped on him.
"That's Comrade Meng Ying giving you face!"
"Just, have some self-awareness, okay? Look at how thick-skinned he is, he can even stop a bullet!"
A group of people were laughing and joking, and Jianshu was sitting quietly at the table listening to everyone's chat and laughter.
Watching her father and these uncles interacting with each other, the smile on her face never faded.
Xu Annan, who was beside her, put a piece of meat in her bowl and said with a smile, "They are always like this. Whenever they get together, they never stop."
"It's really interesting. I haven't seen this side of Uncle Zhao and the others yet." Jian Shu watched with great interest.
"You'll get used to it after a few times. In front of outsiders, everyone is the boss, but when they get together, they're as childish as can be. Let me tell you, before..."
Xu Annan began to tell Jianshu about his past events, and Meng Ying and Qu Shuyun beside him couldn't help but interrupt and add to the story.
The female comrades were talking happily, while the male comrades on the other side had several rounds of drinks.
"Thanks for taking care of Shushu during the years I've been away. I'd like to thank you brothers here!" Jian Yucheng raised his glass, his eyes full of emotion.
People are gone and things get cold. After this experience, I can see many people and things clearly. But fortunately, these old brothers have not changed.
"What are you talking about? We're brothers, who are we? Those things are only natural. Don't mention thank you or not." Zhao Mingze spoke first. "To be unlucky, if it had been any of us who got into trouble back then, you wouldn't have stood by and watched!"
"Yes, we didn't help much at all. Shushu is a very capable child, but we are the ones who got a lot of good things from him over the years." Qian Wenhan also chimed in.
Wei Zhou was even more blunt. "If you want to thank you, you have to thank them too. I can't bear it. I've been far away these past few years. Apart from a few letters, I haven't been able to help at all. The only time we met was when Shushu got married. If you really want to thank me, you'll be ashamed."
Gu Zhan finally spoke, smiling broadly, "If anyone really wants to thank you, it should be me who should thank you for helping me find such a wonderful daughter-in-law."
“…”
Everyone was silent.
"Get out!" Jian Yucheng no longer felt grateful. After hearing what the old man said, he really felt that he had suffered a great loss.
"Hahaha, don't thank me, just drink!" Gu Zhan didn't take advantage of me anymore and changed the subject with a smile.
Gu Mingjing, who was helping to pour the wine, couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead. His old man was really good at making enemies. He was fine, and he would just walk away in a few days, but it was all his fault!
His father-in-law finally became a little nicer to him, but after this incident, he became unhappy again.
Gu Zhan didn't care about his son's life or death. His daughter-in-law had already been married home, so he could handle the rest of the matters himself. If his father-in-law couldn't handle it, what use was he?
They laughed and talked about the previous incident.
