As soon as he returned here, Zou Langtao came over. Ye Zhiqiu quickly asked, "Brother Zou, what's going on?"
Zou Langtao explained with a smile: "It's nothing, I just wanted to meet you for a drink. I got some ingredients and asked your master to help cook it at noon. We can drink it then."
Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Is there any good news?"
Zou Langtao replied with a silly smile: "Hehe, my wife is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father. I was so happy last night that I couldn't sleep all night, so I thought of having a couple of drinks with everyone to celebrate."
Ye Zhiqiu said happily: "Hey, I said it's impossible to drink for no reason. This is a big happy event, we must have a couple of drinks to celebrate!"
After saying that, Ye Zhiqiu was a little curious and asked quickly: "Brother Zou, tell me how you feel now. I'm quite curious about this."
Zou Langtao smiled and nodded, then said with some emotion, "How should I describe my feelings right now? I suddenly feel a little excited, a little nervous, and suddenly my body feels heavy.
I am also a little worried about whether I can be a good father. How should I plan for my child's future and how should I get nutritional supplements for my wife?
Anyway, a lot of chaotic thoughts came to my mind, so I couldn't sleep all night last night. But looking at my wife sleeping peacefully, I became full of strength, and I didn't feel tired at all today.
Ye Zhiqiu felt it was very fresh and he also had a little yearning for it. He had never been a father in his two lifetimes combined.
After chatting for a while, Zou Langtao left happily. He was going to inform others.
Ye Zhiqiu could understand him quite well. It was normal to be excited and want to have a drink to celebrate such a happy event in life.
He was also happy for him because he already knew that Zou Langtao's father had sacrificed his life and his mother had also passed away due to illness, leaving him as the only one left in the Zou family. Now that he had a child, the Zou family could be considered to have been passed down.
The transport team was busy, and beer sales had now been moved to the morning hours. Since get off work was already getting off early, selling beer in the afternoon wouldn't be suitable.
There were only about a dozen people in the office, all clerical staff, and there hadn't been a director appointed yet. But that was understandable; the position wouldn't affect operations, so the lack of one was normal.
He kept reading newspapers and books, slacking off until dinner time. Perhaps due to Feng Xiaomei's influence, Ye Zhiqiu became very fond of reading. Perhaps it was to have common topics with her, but he often read books now, but he read a lot of different things and could absorb anything.
He walked a few steps outside with the lunch box, slapped his head and walked back. He was so engrossed in reading that he forgot about Zou Langtao's invitation to drink.
When he arrived at the small canteen, which was also a small room for cadres to have meals, there were already quite a few people sitting there.
Liao Yegu waved at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Xiao Ye, sit over here. Let's drink to victory today!"
Wu Shengli said with a smile: "Old Liao, are you kidding me? You're trying to poach my soldiers right in front of me, and you're even asking them to rebel against me. That's too much!"
Chen Yimin coughed twice and said, "I'm his boss at the factory, and outside I'm his uncle. What can you use to snatch him from me?"
Ye Zhiqiu saw Ye Tianya, who was sitting in the crowd next to Liao Yegu, so he said with a smile: "I'm sorry to the old leader and Master Uncle today. Secretary Liao has something on me, so I have to stand on his side. I can't let the two of us, father and son, kill each other!"
Wu Shengli slapped his thigh and said, "I was careless! No wonder Lao Liao didn't grab anyone else and just snatched Lao Ye to his side. It seems he was trapping the old wolf and waiting for the little wolf to come to him!"
Liao Yegu said proudly, "This is called capturing the leader first. In this drinking party, tying up Xiao Ye is a victory. If you don't use your brains, you won't be able to defeat your evil schemes!"
Deputy Factory Manager Wang Laicai, who was standing nearby, said curiously, "I've always heard you say that the drunkards in our factory can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Unfortunately, I was on a business trip to Guangzhou at the time and wasn't at the factory. This time, I'm going to have to see for myself."
Wu Shengli urged, "Old Wang, you can hold your liquor so well. Go and check on Xiao Ye. Don't let him get too arrogant!"
Wang Laicai had only heard about it, but had never seen it, so he was easily fooled. He smiled and said, "That's possible. I'll have a few drinks with Xiao Ye later to see if he's like the legend says, he can never get drunk!"
Wu Shengli and the others exchanged glances with each other and laughed secretly, thinking that they would see Wang Laicai drunk in a while, and they couldn't help but laugh at the thought.
There was no way. Among this group of people, Wang Laicai was the one who could drink the most. Everyone else drank about one or two kilograms, but he could drink about three kilograms. He was the one who could drink the most except Ye Zhiqiu.
Zou Langtao asked someone to serve the dishes at this time. Today's pork, chicken and fish were all purchased by him, not from the factory.
It is near the end of the year, so the supply of materials has been greatly increased, making these ingredients easier to buy.
No matter how the past year went, you must have a good meal during the New Year and have a few good days!
Wu Shengli raised his glass because he was giving a toast as Zou Langtao's elder.
"Today I received a very happy news. Zou Langtao is going to be a father soon. As everyone knows, he is the son of my fallen comrade, and I treat him as my own son. After hearing this news, I was very excited!
Before his father passed away, he entrusted me with his mother and son and asked me to help take care of them. But I was far away and couldn't take care of his mother. Now that I know he's going to be a father, I feel relieved. Even if I die, I can still see Old Zou!
I've said all this to clarify things for everyone: some people say I'm nepotism, and I am indeed nepotism, but this is what Lang Tao deserves, and it's what his father sacrificed on the battlefield."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Ye Zhiqiu quickly said with a smile, "Old leader, I know you're happy, but we've all been toasting for a long time, why haven't you said the horn of charge? As for those who are talking nonsense, let them talk about their own contributions! Section Chief Zou has found so many supplies for the factory and created such great benefits. Anyone who is not convinced can go and get the same supplies. I believe that the leaders here will definitely give them a promotion!"
"That's right. If anyone isn't convinced, let him go get the supplies!"
"Alright, alright, let's ignore him for now and find out who's gossiping. But Xiao Ye is right. If you have the ability, go get the supplies. Even I, the deputy factory director, can give him some space!"
Wu Shengli slapped his head and said, "Hey, my brain is just getting emotional as I'm talking. Let's drink a toast to our comrade Lao Zou. He has a grandson or granddaughter!"
