Xin Chen stood up and said, "Welcome to Zhoujiacun, everyone. Let's have fun. I'm not in good health, so I won't accompany you." He turned to look at Cheng Xiang, with a warm expression on his face: "Think about it, happy wedding."
Cheng Xiang nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Teacher Xin."
Zhou He put down the peanuts in his hand, clapped his hands, stood up and said to Xin Chen, "Okay, I'll take you back first."
"Xiao He, you stay here with the guests. I've eaten too much and I'll go back for a walk by myself." Xin Chen refused, nodded to everyone, and left.
"Then be careful." Zhou He warned worriedly from behind.
"Who is it? So caring about others?" Qin Yutong didn't expect that the careless Zhou He would be so attentive to people.
Although this Teacher Xin is thin, he has a gentle and elegant temperament. He is neither impatient nor impatient, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Zhou He sat down, drank a glass of wine and said, "Savior."
"Huh?" A group of people became interested and asked for details.
Chen Tian put his arm around Zhou He's shoulders and said, "Well, this starts from a cold winter when our brother He caught fish and was dragged into an ice hole by the fish."
"Get lost." Zhou He punched Chen Tian.
Everyone shouted: "Say it, say it."
Chen Tian put on his posture and began to speak slowly. Zhou He occasionally interjected to make supplements.
The atmosphere on Zhou Tianlei's side was far from the laughter and laughter on the other side.
They are not like Zhou He's group of people. Their young lives are full of sunshine, free and unrestrained.
They have experienced life and death. In their young past, there was death, blood, hideous wounds, and the screams of their comrades.
The bond between them is better than brothers and sisters. There is something called the military soul that involves them.
When old friends get together, apart from having fun and having fun, they will naturally talk about the past.
You can't escape those who have passed away. Those who have returned from the battlefield will fall into endless self-blame after every laughter.
The person he shared happiness with was gone.
"If Instructor Yang knew that you were married, you wouldn't know how to be happy." Director Wang said in a deep tone.
Everyone stopped talking, and the atmosphere became heavier.
This was the sound of children playing outside the door. It was Zhou Yang and several children who had returned.
Zhou Tianlei called Zhou Yang and Qing'er over, "Xiao Yang, Qing'er, say hello to the uncles."
The two stood obediently: "Hello, uncle."
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of several people: "This, who are they?"
Zhou Tianlei nodded, and Lao Li also nodded to them.
Several people gathered around the child. The little boy was a tiger-headed boy, and the little girl was white, tender and cute. They were very gratifying.
"Old Zhou, you have done a good job raising the child. I would like to thank you on behalf of the instructor." One person picked up a wine glass and toasted Zhou Tianlei.
Zhou Tianlei said with some shame: "Actually, it's all thanks to Cheng Xiang. Since she came, the children have gotten better and better."
He looked back and saw the man sitting there with his chin propped up chatting with Jiang Yi, his eyes full of tenderness.
Lao Li said from the side: "No, the little girl can still play the piano now."
"Really?" Several people's eyes were full of surprise.
Zhou Tianlei asked the children to play by themselves. The children nodded obediently and ran out.
"At the beginning, we were all thinking about the instructor's widow and child. I took advantage of the holiday to send him over to visit. Unexpectedly, the instructor's mother said that his wife ran away with the child. I was so angry at the time that I asked the villagers and found out. It was his mother who robbed the instructor of his pension and house and kicked them out. Later, when Lao Wang wrote a letter, he found out that they had come to seek refuge with you."
Lao Li then said: "Lao Zhou had just come back at that time, and the Yang family's sister-in-law came to see him with her son and daughter, which caused a lot of gossip. Lao Zhou was stunned and didn't say anything. I thought he would go with that sister-in-law. When we got together, I told him that it was actually nothing. If instructor Yang knew that you were taking care of his wife and children, he would be at ease. Lao Zhou didn't say anything. Who knows, it didn't take long for the sister-in-law to take care of his wife and children. The child stays and goes away."
"Lao Zhou, what's going on between you and her?" Lao Li's heart started to become restless due to gossip.
Several melon eaters looked at Zhou Tianlei.
Zhou Tianlei took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Her? I don't know, she wanted to leave on her own."
Several people seemed to be discouraged: "I know, you kid can't say anything."
"By the way, does sister-in-law know about the child?" one person asked.
Zhou Tianlei nodded: "I know, I told her."
"Yes, we should tell people. Isn't it bullying for them to be stepmothers without knowing it?" One person stood up and suggested, "Shall we go and respect my sister-in-law?"
"Okay, let's go"
Several people walked over here carrying wine glasses.
Several people at the table who were laughing and laughing suddenly looked over quietly.
Lao Li held the wine glass and said to Cheng with a smile: "Sister-in-law, our brothers are here to toast you."
Cheng wanted to stand up, then suddenly glanced at Zhou Tianlei with big eyes, then looked at everyone: "Why?"
"Thank you for raising the children so well. We thank you on behalf of Instructor Yang." One person said in a sincere tone.
It turned out that it was for the sake of the children and comradeship. They were such a lovely group of people. Cheng Xiang quickly picked up the wine glass and said politely, "Well, it's all what we should do. You're welcome."
Several people clinked glasses with Cheng Xiang. Cheng Xiang was so happy that just as he was about to drink, Zhou Tianlei snatched the glass away: "I drank for her."
Cheng Xiang watched helplessly as a glass of wine entered Zhou Tianlei's stomach.
I just smelled the wine today and didn't drink it at all. Just when I wanted to drink it, Jiang Yi took it away, and now it's taken away by Zhou Tianlei.
These two men are so lenient.
Zhou Tianlei took those people who smiled meaningfully back to his wine table.
Cheng Xiang was left pouting and sulking.
The people at the two tables were playing and frolicking until it got dark before leaving.
Director Wang and Lao Li took their comrades back to their residences. They said goodbye and were far apart. They didn't know when they would see each other next time.
Several grown men hugged each other, but the atmosphere was so sad.
After seeing off his comrades, several people at Zhou He's table were already drunk and staggering. Fortunately, Jiang Yi didn't drink at all and drove, so he could send Qin Yutong and others back to the city.
Zhong Liang insisted that he was drunk and would definitely not be able to drive a motorcycle, so he insisted on staying the night with Zhou He.
Before Jiang Yi drove away, he glanced at Zhou Tianlei coldly. Zhou Tianlei looked at him without any emotion.
Then he looked at the petite and cute Cheng Xiang standing next to the man, sighed and said, "I'll wait for you to go home tomorrow."
The group of people drove away, and the small courtyard that had been noisy all day finally returned to peace.
