Unable to bear Quanquan Xin's "complaints", Lao Zhao finally gave the order to open the banquet after drinking his second toast.
It's been a long time since we had such a lively dinner together. Both Lao Lin and Lao Xu were quite indulgent today.
Drinks come one bottle after another, and peanuts and melon seeds come one bag after another.
There is no need for any overall arrangements or limited supply today. In short, there is one sentence: as long as it feels good.
"I'll go, Lao Zhao, you're really not interesting enough. Why haven't the dishes you cooked before tasted so good today? This is a typical partiality of yours, but whatever, when Nana is here from now on, I think you will still... Eh "Where is Nana?" Lao Lin, who was a little drunk, looked around with his cheeks red and sore.
Lao Zhao smiled and shook his head, thinking: Lao Lin, Lao Lin, there are times when you are drunk.
"Haha, Nana went to the next table."
"Oh? Why is she running to the next table?" Turning his head, Lao Lin glanced and quickly spotted Zhao Lina on the dining table. However, after taking a quick look, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Hey, why did Lina run away and sit next to Qiangzi? ?Do they know each other?"
Old Zhao shook his head again: "Oh, it's impossible. Lina has been studying abroad and Xiao Wang is working in Hefei. How could the two of them interact with each other? She went to thank Wang Qiang."
"Oh, yes, yes, I said, Lao Zhao, you don't know. I'll tell you about Qiangzi's knife today... it was really..."
"Okay! Okay!" Old Xu heard Old Zhao's words and quickly stopped interrupting. He didn't want to burden Lao Zhao with Lao Lin's drunken words during this moment of celebration. So he picked up the wine bottle and filled it with white wine for Lao Lin. Then he clinked the glasses and said excitedly: "Come on, don't you always shout that you want to compete with me for wine? Today I will risk my life to defeat the gentleman. Don't you pretend to be a coward?"
"Haha? Pretending to be cowardly? Who is it? Me? What a joke!? Let me tell you, Lao Xu, when I was in the police force, I, Lin Junfu, was known as a man who could drink a thousand glasses. Hiccup~. With the amount of wine you have, you can't drink enough. Climbing on me? You, you hurry up and call Huabiao and the others on duty, otherwise you... humph. It won't work."
Lao Lin was really drunk, and he couldn't stop talking.
But as Lao Xu said, everyone was rarely happy today, so Lao Zhao gave up his warning.
After gesturing to Demi, Derek ate more food. Lao Zhao lowered his gaze to the table next door.
Zhao Lina held the wine glass and hesitated for a long time before summoning the courage to speak to Wang Qiang and said: "Wang Qiang, thank you for saving me at the critical moment today. I toast you with this glass of wine."
After hearing this, Wang Qiang put down his bamboo chopsticks, glanced sideways at Zhao Lina beside him, and said without any expression: "You're welcome, it's just a small effort. I promised Lao Zhao that I would bring you back alive, even if I risk my life." Will do it."
The indifferent words were like a sharp knife piercing Zhao Lina's chest, causing her right hand to tremble while holding the wine glass, and the thousands of words that had come to her mouth were suddenly choked in her throat. Unable to say even a single word.
Perhaps he also sensed the girl's strangeness. Wang Qiang just thought that the other party was worried that he didn't drink, so he took the untouched cup on the table, poured some white wine into it, and then said with admiration: "You are still very healthy." If you are weak, it’s better to drink less alcohol.”
After saying that, Wang Qiang put down his wine glass and continued to eat the food from the bowl without even looking at Zhao Lina.
"Don't mind! He...hehe," Tang Xiaoquan noticed Wang Qiang's indifference. He knew that his brother had lost confidence in love because of the Yang Xue incident, so he was quite wary of all strange women.
From a psychological perspective, this is a kind of instinctive protection, and completely opening up this subconscious protection cannot be accomplished overnight.
Looking at Zhao Lina's awkward and embarrassed look. Tang Xiaoquan hesitated for a moment, and then made an excuse to offend the other party: "That's his personality. Haha, once you get to know him, you will find that he is actually quite easy to get along with."
After finishing speaking, Tang Xiaoquan glanced at his brother with emotion. Wang Qiang seemed not to hear and had no reaction.
You know, if this situation had been left behind, he would have immediately retaliated.
But now...
Hey, Qiangzi, do you know how much I wish you could go back in time and have a good fight with me?
Therefore, human beings are very strange creatures. When they get along day and night and have each other every day, they will get bored and wish they could say goodbye in the next second.
But when the dream comes true one day, I will hope that everything will return to its original state.
But in any case, with Tang Xiaoquan's rescue, Zhao Lina's embarrassment was somewhat relieved.
After nodding her thanks with a smile, Zhao Lina returned to the table. It's just that his subsequent mood is obviously no longer as clear as before.
Everyone had dinner very late, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
In the end, Lao Lin and Lao Xu were both knocked down by the other party, and they had no choice but to be carried back to the room by everyone.
As for Hu Xiaodong, Wu Chao, Wenquan Xin and others, although they were not drunk, they were still inseparable.
But after all, the young man had good physical strength. After drinking, he still felt unsatisfied and swarmed back into the house to set up a table and play Pai Gow.
Considering the relationship between Derek and Demi, Lao Zhao properly arranged the two of them in a single room.
Zhao Lina was pulled into her room by Wei Yang. As for the surviving girl, due to her mental problems, she was eventually taken into the village chief's room.
The table was full of messes, and Old Zhao was cleaning it up bit by bit. Fortunately, now he had two helpers, Demi and Zhao Lina.
Although there was a lot of work, it was done quickly.
The most important thing is that now that his daughter is back, Lao Zhao is in a good mood. Compared with the depression in the past few days, he is really full of energy now.
After waiting to finish everything, Wei Yang knew that Zhao Lina had just come back and the father and daughter must have a lot to talk about, so he took Demi back to the house and played with Fangfang.
After everyone left, the village became less noisy and more peaceful.
Lao Zhao took his daughter for a walk on the village path.
Lao Zhao couldn't remember how long it had been since he and his daughter took a walk under the moonlight.
When my daughter was a child, I was busy and had no time to take care of her.
When the daughter grows up and goes to school, the father and daughter have no chance.
On the contrary, now, in the apocalypse, the two of them can finally take a peaceful walk together.
Faced with such a result, Lao Zhao was also a little sad. He really didn't know whether he should be grateful for Doomsday or hate it.
"Dad, how is she?" Zhao Lina has been holding this question in her heart since she met Lao Zhao.
There is no doubt that her parents live together. Now that she sees her father but not her mother, Zhao Lina has to have a bad feeling.
So several times she wanted to ask, but in the end she gave up because she was afraid of hearing the worst possible outcome.
"Alas" he sighed. Lao Zhao had already expected that his daughter would ask this question, so he did not hide it and replied truthfully. (To be continued.)
