Lao Zhao is a real man.

Once you say something, it will come true.

That night, Liu Qin was so angry that she didn't even come out to eat. Old Zhao didn't ask a single question and just took the two of them out after dinner.

Qi Sisi asked about the situations of several families she was going to visit and brought corresponding gifts.

A set of face cream and hand cream, two silk scarves, and a beautiful crystal hairpin.

The price is a bit expensive, but not too expensive, so it's quite acceptable.

The other one included two boxes of peach cakes and two bottles of malt extract, suitable for the elderly, and three bottles of hand cream.

The last one is simpler, bringing two bottles of good wine and some cold stewed vegetables.

Because it was a little dark, it was more convenient to drive over.

The first one we went to was Political Commissar He. He was younger, and Old Zhao had taken care of him more in the past, so he was more trustworthy.

He Zhengwei's wife, who is about 30 years old, has a smile on her face since she saw the scarf and face cream.

Political Commissar He, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed, but his wife and daughter-in-law liked her very much, and it was difficult for him to refuse.

"I'm sorry to let you spend money. You're too polite, brother."

"What's the big deal? When you first meet someone, you should always bring something. It's polite."

Lao Zhao didn't think this was a problem at all.

Praise the other party's daughter heavily.

Everyone had a great time talking to each other.

Upon learning that there were other families who wanted to leave, Political Commissar He tried to keep them and went out to see them off.

Next up is Counselor Heo's family.

There were only the couple and two old ladies left at home, one was his mother and the other was his mother-in-law. Both old ladies died in the war, so the two families lived together and supported each other.

There are two sons in the family, one is on a mission and the other is studying in college.

They welcomed them, especially Staff Officer Xu's wife, who loved Qi Sisi so much that she exclaimed, "What kind of fairy is this? She is so beautiful."

She has a very nice voice, and when she praises people, it makes people feel even sweeter.

Qi Sisi was stunned and blushed.

"I only knew that you had an eldest son before, but I never thought he was so handsome!" Staff Officer Xu praised Zhao Xingyu.

Old Zhao laughed out loud: "Just follow your mother. If you want to be exactly like me, you're screwed."

Although I sometimes think my son looks too much like a little girl, I have to admit that Xingyu is indeed handsome.

"If this were ancient times, he would have to be like Pan An." When Staff Sgt. Xu's wife saw this talented and beautiful young couple, she was so happy that she was happier than receiving any gifts.

"Why did you introduce him to us today?" Staff Officer Xu thought, he came all of a sudden, could it be that he wants to help with something?

"This is my child. He used to work in the southern military district, but this time he came to the military academy for further studies. He won the last competition as a reward, so he has been living at home recently, and wanted to introduce himself to you." Old Zhao said with great pride.

His son has a promising future!

Even if she didn't grow up by his side, she's still a capable man!

Thinking about my son's excellence, I have to thank Lao Qi. Fortunately, he helped educate him for so many years, otherwise the child would not have become so successful.

He also gave him such a beautiful and smart daughter-in-law. Lao Qi is simply his benefactor!

"Hey, this is the first time I see my daughter-in-law. I only saw her in photos before. She is not only good-looking, but also very pretty. The old couple Qi taught her well."

"You are Mr. Qi's daughter?"

Staff Officer Xu was really surprised this time.

After looking at Qi Sisi for a few more times, I found that her facial features were indeed somewhat familiar.

Old Zhao seemed to have just remembered and said casually: "Why, didn't I say that?"

Staff Officer Xu glared at him, "When did you say that?"

"Oh, maybe I forgot. I remember the last time I drank with Lao Liu, I showed him a photo of the two of us."

"Oh, so I'm the only one who doesn't know?" Counselor Xu said sarcastically.

Lao Zhao uttered an "ouch", slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, why are you thinking about this? Don't you know what's going on now?"

"I haven't been to Lao Liu yet, so I'll bring him to you first."

Staff Officer Xu's face looked better now. He took one more look at the handsome young man and woman, and kept sighing, "They can both act in TV dramas. They are all so handsome."

"Hahaha, just be jealous."

"When your little Xu comes back from school, maybe he'll bring you a beautiful wife." Old Zhao was very proud and didn't hide it at all.

It’s no wonder that Old Xu looks rough, but even his son looks just like him, with the same rough appearance.

Staff Officer Xu: “…”

Finally, we came to Mr. Liu's house.

He holds a higher official position than Lao Zhao and is his old leader. He is older than him, already in his fifties, a little old man.

He was only one meter tall, with a head of white hair, but he looked neat and tidy, wearing a white shirt and an executive jacket, and had an elegant demeanor.

The two are old friends and comrades-in-arms for many years. They have watched each other grow from youth to middle-aged and elderly, and watched each other get married and have children.

"I didn't believe it when I saw the photo, but now that I see the real person, I finally believe it."

Commander Liu sighed.

At that time, he thought that Lao Zhao was playing a trick on him and tricked him with other people's photos.

Old Zhao laughed and said, "Well, there's still a long time to go. If they want to see you in the future, I'll bring them to see you."

"Tsk, do I care about that?" Commander Liu expressed disdain.

He casually placed the gift bag on the round table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The attitude is that he doesn't consider himself an outsider at all.

Very familiar.

"Sit down, don't be polite to him."

Not only did he sit there himself, he also entertained his son and daughter-in-law.

Of course, the key point is the daughter-in-law, not to tire the pregnant woman.

Teacher Liu frowned slightly: "Why do you bring gifts?"

"You want me to do something for you? That's easy. As long as you call me brother, I'll do anything for you." Of course, if it's not in accordance with the rules, then that's definitely not allowed.

Old Zhao spat and cursed, "What are you thinking about? I brought some snacks and two bottles of good wine."

"I'm planning on having a midnight snack here with you today."

Your words are not very polite.

Qi Sisi thought it was too much, but somehow, Teacher Liu burst into laughter and happily ran over to unpack the packages.

"What delicious food did you bring? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I was wondering why it smelled good."

Old Zhao curled his lips and said, "My daughter-in-law prepared it. I don't know what to bring."

Qi Sisi explained: "Cold cucumber and black fungus, halved pork head and ears, and fried rice."

This gift is the largest and the most expensive.

But they didn't want to ask anyone to do anything for them, they just wanted to get to know each other, so it didn't matter.

Even if others knew, what could they say? These families were old friends, so it was normal for them to show courtesy to each other.

“So many!”

Upon hearing this, Commander Liu almost cried and went to open the two boxes of wine.

Then his eyes lit up, and he patted Lao Zhao on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, you understand me!"

Lao Zhao rolled his eyes and replied coldly: "I suspect that no matter who sends you these two bottles of wine, he will become a good brother."

"That can't be possible!"

Commander Liu laughed loudly.

"I don't want anything from anyone. I'll only accept things from you."

Given their relationship, he would be just as hard-working even without the gift, so it makes no difference whether he accepts it or not.

"Ha! You just know how to take advantage of me."

Lao Zhao said this, but his hands honestly picked up the wine glass.

Qi Sisi didn't drink, so Zhao Xingyu brought her a thermos. She drank warm water and chatted over the food.

The two old friends were talking, and when they got happier, their voices suddenly rose.

Zhao Xingyu watched from the side, his eyes a little absent-minded.

"What?"

Qi Sisi bumped into him lightly.

"Um?"
