"Brother Xiao, how many daughters do you have?"
Lin Tieshan suddenly remembered a task that Xiao Qingyang had entrusted to him after he arrived in Luoshui City for garrison.
"I only had one daughter, Bai Yi's mother. Because I had to lead troops to fight, it was too unsafe for the child to stay with me, so I sent her to live with a fellow villager. Later, we were separated."
When talking about his lost daughter, Xiao Qingyang still felt a little upset.
"That's what I'm talking about. Since Bai Yi grew up in Luoshui City, then my niece, no, my mother-in-law, should also be living in Luoshui City.
But I went to the municipal bureau and asked all the police stations to check the household registration files in each jurisdiction, but I couldn't find my mother-in-law's name!"
Lin Tieshan must explain this point clearly. He did his best to complete the task entrusted to him by Brother Xiao.
"It's hard to say what the situation was back then. It could be that the child changed his name when he went to school, or there could be something missing in the household registration.
Brother Lin, you don't need to explain. We've been comrades for many years, how could I not trust you?"
Lin Tieshan calls his daughter mother-in-law, and he and his daughter are on close terms as brothers.
Xiao Qingyang also felt a little awkward, but he couldn't really call Lin Tieshan his nephew!
"Director Liang, I've bought all the vegetables."
Su Changyou brought two guards and brought over a lot of food.
In preparation for today's reception, Lin Tieshan asked Su Changyou to run to several places.
We went to the military region's logistics department, as well as the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives and farmers' markets, and bought all the vegetables available on the market.
"Okay, just put it in the kitchen."
"Sister-in-law, drink some water first. I'll cook."
There are many people at noon, so many dishes need to be cooked, especially chicken and ribs, which need to be stewed in advance.
"Mom, let me help you."
Yuan Ying stood up with her belly bulging and prepared to help.
"Sister-in-law, let me do it. Pregnant women don't have a good appetite to begin with. If you're exposed to the smell of cooking fumes, you won't be able to eat anymore."
Lin Wanru grabbed her sister-in-law and walked towards the kitchen.
"I'm fine."
With so many guests coming to the house, Yuan Ying was afraid that the guests would laugh at her if she didn't go into the kitchen.
"Xiaoying, I have your sister to help me. You are not alone now, and you can't let my grandchildren starve."
Only after Liang Fengxia spoke did Yuan Ying stop insisting.
"My dear, you are twenty years old now, right? Do you have any plans on getting married?"
In the kitchen, the mother and daughter were busy and whispering to each other.
"Bai Yi is one year younger than me. You know he's not old enough yet!"
When talking about her marriage, Lin Wanru's pretty face turned slightly red.
"We have to wait another year! Your brother is about to have a child, and he was recently promoted to group leader. Once you get married, your father and I will have completed our mission.
Bai Yi is good in every way, except that he is one year younger than you. How much better it would be if he were one year older than you!"
When Lin Xiao was in his twenties and still unmarried, Liang Fengxia would worry about it. Now she can't wait to marry her daughter off.
"Mom, are you really looking forward to me getting married?"
Lin Wanru pouted and refused.
"With you like this now, what difference does it make whether you get married or not? Won't I still be stuck with no one every day?"
Liang Fengxia stretched out her right index finger and tapped her daughter's forehead unhappily.
"Mom, Bai Yi said that we should stay in Luoshui City for a while longer this time."
Lin Wanru hugged Liang Fengxia's arm and acted coquettishly.
When she was sent to the countryside in Northeast China to work as a sent-down youth, there was no way she could come back. Now that she is back and living in Sucheng with Yang Baiyi, she knows that her mother must miss her.
"real?"
Liang Fengxia was surprised. She thought her daughter and son-in-law were going to go back with Xiao Qingyang.
"Of course it's true. I'm not working. There's no difference between working and not working. I don't have to go to the office at all. We can live in Luoshui City as long as we want."
“It’s better to have real skills. Your son-in-law’s military rank starts as high as your father’s.
The most important thing is that you don’t have to go to the company, and when you have children in the future, he will be able to help you.
Unlike your father, who is always busy like a top, taking care of all the big and small things in the entire military region."
Knowing that her daughter could stay at home for a longer period of time this time, Liang Fengxia instantly became happy.
Lunch was ready, and the younger generation brought the food to the table. Lin Tieshan had already poured the tiger bone wine.
"Brother Xiao, you have a good grandson, and I also have a good son-in-law. After drinking the tiger bone wine he made, I feel that my body has become much stronger."
"That's right, my old injuries are completely healed, and I can sleep much more soundly now."
The two of them didn't know that their bodies had improved because Yang Baiyi had used wood energy to comb their meridians. They thought it was all thanks to the tiger bone wine and ginseng wine.
Yang Baiyi smiled but didn't point it out. As long as the old man's body was strong, that was the most important thing.
"You guys eat your food. I want to have a good drink with Brother Xiao today."
At the beginning of the meal, Lin Tieshan gave everyone a warning that when old comrades meet again, they must drink to their heart's content.
Sure enough, neither of them had any hidden intentions. They clinked their glasses together and drank them in one gulp.
Later, the two of them still felt unsatisfied, so they changed their wine glasses into small wine bowls.
"I know you're happy, but you should drink less. Your health is the most important thing."
"Yeah! How old are you guys? You can't drink like that."
The way the two drank made Liang Fengxia and Mu Xue tremble with fear.
"It's okay. When drinking with a good friend, a thousand cups are not enough. We know what we are doing and it won't hurt our bodies."
The two of them didn't finish drinking until mid-afternoon. There were about five pounds of tiger bone wine left in the jar, which they drank up.
"Lin Xiao, there are still three pounds of ginseng wine left. Bring it to us."
Lin Tieshan narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke with a lisp.
"Brother Lin, it's almost time for today. I'm not leaving today, so we can drink again tomorrow."
Unlike Lin Tieshan who has been in the military camp all the time, Xiao Qingyang has been in charge of local work for so many years and was demoted for eight years. He is more rational than Lin Tieshan.
"No, let's drink to our heart's content. We haven't seen each other for years, and today we finally meet."
Lin Tieshan was still in high spirits and refused to listen to anyone's advice. He kept urging Lin Xiao to get some wine.
"Uncle Lin, I really can't drink anymore today. Excessive drinking will hurt your body and make you feel uncomfortable. Why bother?"
Seeing Lin Xiao's dilemma, Yang Baiyi quickly spoke out to dissuade him.
"Son-in-law, my son and daughter don't care about me, so you can't care about me either."
Lin Tieshan was obviously drunk.
"Okay, Uncle Lin, I don't care about you, but I can control myself.
You've finished your tiger bone wine, but you still have three pounds of ginseng wine left, right? I originally said I'd make you some more tomorrow, but now I think I'll forget it.
If you keep drinking like this, your health will eventually suffer, and I don't want to be blamed by Brother Xiao and Wanru."
