Wang Hongju went home, and Wang Yunqing's family was very happy! In order to catch the wind for his youngest son, Wang Yunqing originally wanted to hold a banquet in a restaurant outside, but later thought that it would be warmer to set up a banquet at home, so he decided to have a big banquet at home. In addition to his own family, there is also his in-law Lao Zhao. Originally, he didn't want to invite Wang Yunlong's family, who couldn't be on the stage, but he had to invite them as a last resort under Mrs. Wang's incessant nagging.

Gui Fang and Mrs. Wang couldn't cook for so many people, and Mrs. Wang remembered that her godsister Mrs. Su's family had a woman named Chunxiu who had helped cook in the restaurant and cooked good dishes, so she went to Mrs. Su's house to invite Chunxiu.

In the dining room of the Wang family, there is a big table of eight immortals, the table is full of all kinds of delicacies, Chunxiu and Gui Fang are sweating in the kitchen, frying and frying, Mrs. Wang does not move her mouth, and keeps telling Shuzhen to do this and that. Seeing that the food was basically ready, the family sat around the table and began to eat with laughter. Wang Yunlong's three children were arranged to eat at a small table next to them.

Wang Yunqing looked at the children sitting around him, picked up the wine glass, and said with feeling: "It's not easy! This time, our family is ready, come, all raise their glasses to catch the wind for Hongju! Cheers! With that, he drank the wine from his glass. The crowd followed suit with a glass of wine.

Wang Hongju picked up the wine glass and poured a full glass for his parents himself, he raised the wine and was said: "Parents, my son has been away for many years and can't be filial piety by the side of the second elder, but I miss you all the time, come, I will toast you alone!" ”

After Wang Hongju saw his parents drain the wine, he drank all the wine in the cup. Mrs. Wang put down the wine glass and said to Wang Hongju: "Hongju, my mother has missed you in the past few years!" I always see you fighting in my dreams, you are lying in the pile of dead people with a gun, covered in blood, as soon as I have such a dream, my chest is like being pressed by a big stone and I can't breathe, I want to shout desperately and can't shout, I wake up with cold sweat all over my body! This good battle is over, and now that I see you sitting in front of me in a dignified manner, my mother's heart for you has finally been put down. ”

Wang Yunqing said regretfully: "Hongju, of course you are a teacher now!" But I still like to see you look majestic in your military uniform. ”

Wang Hongju said: "I didn't want to take off my military uniform at the beginning, there was no way, the chief told me to take it off, I had to take it off!" I can only obey orders. But then I came to love the job of a teacher, and it was a noble profession to preach, teach, and solve doubts to students. Education is the foundation of a country, so I don't regret taking off my uniform. ”

Wang Yunqing said to everyone with deep approval: "I especially agree with Hongju's words! Thinking that Japan, such a small country could occupy most of China, the Chinese fought for eight years before they were driven out with the help of the allies. Why? It is because at that time Japan was much more advanced than China in the fields of culture, education, science and technology, and economy! Education is the foundation of all the foundations of a country, and if a country does not attach importance to education, it will be impossible to build a prosperous, strong and prosperous country. ”

Wang Yunlong raised his wine glass and said, "Big brother, Hongju, what you said is right!" It's a misfortune if people are uneducated! I'm just a typical person, I just haven't studied hard since I was a child, so I ended up in the poor state I am now! After he finished speaking, he said to the children who were eating on the side: "You all remember for me, you must study hard, and in the future, you will be a promising person to put gold on your father's face!" ”

Wang Yunqing also educated those sons and nephews, saying: "Confucius said: If you learn and excel, you will be a master. You have all remembered for me, if you don't study hard, you won't have a way out in the future! No matter which of you goes to college in the future, I will pay for whomever you will pay for it! ”

"You children must remember what the uncle said!" Wang Yunlong drank the wine in one gulp.

Wang Hongju said to Wang Yunlong: "Second uncle, this is the first time I have seen my younger brothers and sisters, because I am a teacher, so the meeting gift I prepared for them is some learning stationery, and I will give them after dinner." ”

Zheng Meiqin saw that Wang Hongju had brought gifts to the children, and in order to express her gratitude, she hurriedly picked up a wine glass to compliment Wang Hongju and said: "Hongju's nephew is not only handsome, but also methodical in speaking and doing things, and he must be a promising person in the future, I am better for you," she deliberately stopped talking and looked at everyone with a smile.

"If you have something to say, buy something!" Wang Yunlong urged.

"I think Hongju's nephew is not inferior to Sima Xiangru and not inferior to Pan An, and he will be the person of the old Wang family in the future."

Her flattery made Wang Hongju blush, and everyone laughed.

"Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth!" Zheng Meiqin raised her neck and drank the wine dry, and after she finished drinking, she aimed at Wang Hongju with a pair of hanging eyes and said, "Hongju nephew, my aunt can dry the wine, you have to dry the wine in the glass." ”

"Thank you, auntie, for the compliment!" Wang Hongju drank the wine in the glass.

Zheng Meiqin poured a full glass of wine, and wanted to have another drink with Wang Hongju, Gui Fang was afraid that Wang Hongju would drink too much, so she stood up and said, "Second aunt, don't persuade you to drink, my brother Hongju has drunk a lot." ”

Zheng Meiqin saw Gui Fang come out to block the wine for Wang Hongju, so she stretched her face and said, "It's okay if Hongju doesn't drink it, then you have to drink this glass of wine for him." ”

Gui Fang said with a thorn in her words: "Second aunt, I think it's better for your Lin Daiyu-like body to drink less wine, so as not to go out for a while and let the wind blow down!" ”

Zheng Meiqin responded not to be outdone: "Gui Fang, you are sarcastic about me, to be honest, you said that my body is like Lin Daiyu, and I see that your heart and eyes are still like Wang Xifeng!" Come, I, Lin Daiyu, toast Wang Xifeng with a glass of wine! ”

"Ouch, thanks to my second aunt praising me so much, I really have to drink this glass of wine, lest you look down on me!"

Zheng Meiqin and Gui Fang each drained the wine.

"Second aunt, you said that my daughter-in-law is Wang Xifeng, then I won't become Jia Lian, you look up to me so much, I also have to toast you with a glass of wine." Wang Hongxing also picked up his wine glass, unwilling to be lonely.

Zheng Meiqin raised her wine glass and pouted at Wang Hongxing and said, "Drink it, you don't know how much I drink, I haven't been afraid of anyone in the wine field!" ”

Wang Yunlong snatched Zheng Meiqin's wine glass and said, "Don't drink it!" You can't control yourself when you drink! ”

Wang Yunqing smiled and said: "Yunlong, today is a happy day, if your wife wants to drink, you let her drink it to her heart's content." I don't care! ”

"How? It's better for big brother to understand me! Zheng Meiqin filled herself with another glass of wine, "Gui Fang, do you dare to toast to me?" She challenged Gui Fang's drinking.

Gui Fang didn't say a word and picked up the wine bottle and was about to pour herself wine, but Mrs. Wang quickly stopped her and said, "Gui Fang, you can't drink anymore, I heard Hongxing say that you are pregnant again, right?" ”

"Yes, it's been about two months."

"Didn't the one you conceive last time flow, why didn't you pay attention this time! It's important to protect the fetus, I don't allow you to drink it! Madame Wang took Gui Fang's wine glass.

When everyone here heard that Gui Fang was pregnant, they all advised her not to drink.

Everyone in the Wang family was drinking lively, but Lao Zhao didn't make much noise. Gui Fang gave Lao Zhao some food and said, "Dad, today is to pick up Hongju, how do you know that a person is sitting stupidly." ”

Lao Zhao said: "You all have to talk endlessly, how can I interject!" Lao Zhao saw that Gui Fang had filled his cup with wine, so he stood up with a smile and said to Wang Hongju: "Hongju was grown up by watching, as the saying goes; Three-year-olds look big, seven-year-olds look old. When you were still wearing open crotch pants, I was sure that you would grow up and become a climate! Hongju, I wish you success and great ambitions in the future! Let's have a drink! ”

Wang Hongju also stood up and said respectfully: "Uncle, you have won the award, I am just an ordinary middle school teacher, and I will live an ordinary life in the future." After Gui Fang's sister-in-law and my brother got married, we will be in-laws, and my glass of wine is for you, my father-in-law. ”

After Wang Hongju and Lao Zhao dried the wine in the cup, he wanted to pour a glass of wine for Lao Zhao himself, picked up the wine bottle and saw that the wine in the bottle had been drunk, and Shuzhen, who was in charge of serving the food, hurriedly went to the kitchen to get the wine. Shuzhen saw that Chunxiu had just finished cooking the last dish and said, "Chunxiu, you have been tired for most of the day, and now that the dishes are done, go to the restaurant and eat with us." ”

Chunxiu excused himself and said, "No need, if you eat as a family, I won't join in the fun." ”

"No, this is what my mother said, you are welcome." Shuzhen picked up a bottle of wine and pulled Chunxiu outside.

Mrs. Wang saw Chunxiu walking into the restaurant with a plate of dishes, and hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Chunxiu, I have a seat for you, you can sit with me." ”

When Wang Hongju heard the name Chunxiu, he felt a little familiar, he looked up at Chunxiu, and saw that the woman named Chunxiu was about thirty years old, medium height, delicate appearance, and a refreshing energy all over her body.

Mrs. Wang called Chunxiu to her side and introduced her family: "This is Chunxiu, she is my good sister's family, she once helped cook in a famous big restaurant, and made good dishes!" Today's meals are all made by Chunxiu. ”

"Good meal today! Delicious! Chunxiu made us authentic Lu cuisine, which I know! Wang Yunqing gave Chunxiu a thumbs up and praised.

Chunxiu was a little embarrassed to be praised by Wang Yunqing, she said shyly: "You won the award, I just did it blindly, and I didn't have any skills." ”

Wang Yunqing smiled: "The food cooked blindly is so delicious, if you cook it well, the central government will have to invite you to a state banquet." ”

"yes, today's meal tastes good!" Everyone saw that Wang Yunqing was happy, and they also praised him.

Wang Hongju didn't have the heart to eat at this time, he pondered in his heart: this woman's name, the occupation she had done, her age and the Shandong accent when she spoke were very similar to the woman Cui Fengming was looking for!

Mrs. Wang pointed at Wang Hongju and said, "Chunxiu, that is my youngest son who went home to visit relatives." She then said to Wang Hongju: "Hongju, the reception banquet set up for you at home today is all made by Chunxiu, you have to thank others." ”

Wang Hongju stood up and bowed to Chunxiu and said, "Thank you, Sister Chunxiu!" ”

Chunxiu said: "Big brother, you are too polite, no need to thank you for this little thing!" She smiled at Wang Hongju, who felt that the two dimples on her face were very beautiful. I thought that if she was the woman Cui Fengming thought about in the twilight, she would really have nowhere to find her iron shoes, and it would take no effort to get there!

Wang Hongju wanted to find out, so he asked Chunxiu: "Sister Chunxiu, have you ever worked as a back kitchen in Juxian Building?" ”

As soon as Wang Hongju's words came out, Chunxiu was stunned. "Big brother, we didn't know each other before, how do you know that I worked as a back kitchen in Juxian Building?"

When Chunxiu asked this, Wang Hongju was happy in his heart, he was sure that the Chunxiu in front of him was the Chunxiu that Cui Fengming was looking for!

Wang Hongju further verified and said: "Sister Chunxiu, I also know that there was a person named Cui Fengming in Juxian Building before, do you know him?" ”

"Huh? You know this person, huh? Chunxiu couldn't help but be surprised!

"Yes, Cui Fengming has been looking for you! When our troops entered Beijing, he was recuperating from his wounds in the rear hospital, and he asked me to go to Juxian Tower to look for you, but you were no longer in Juxian Tower at that time. ”

"Tell me quickly, where is Brother Feng Ming? Why didn't he come to me personally? Chunxiu walked up to Wang Hongju and asked anxiously.

"Cui Fengming is my old comrade-in-arms, he told me about your situation, today I heard my mother call you Chunxiu's name, and you used to work as a back kitchen in Juxian Building, you speak with a Shandong accent and age similar to what he said, so I conclude that you are the Chunxiu that Cui Fengming is looking for. I think he's been looking for you all these years. ”

"Where is he? Tell me quickly! Chunxiu's eyes were a little moist.

"I haven't seen Cui Fengming since I went south with the army, and I haven't been in contact with him by letter. But I guess he's definitely in Beijing. In a few days, I went to his mother's house and inquired. I'm sure I'll find him. ”

"You tell him, I think he's thinking so hard! I want to see him! Chunxiu burst into tears after speaking, and she covered her face and ran out.

What's going on? The people present looked at Wang Hongju in confusion, Wang Hongju didn't care about anything, got up and chased out. Wang Hongju comforted Chunxiu outside the house to stabilize her mood. Chunxiu, who was preoccupied, returned to the restaurant and said a few words to Mrs. Wang before saying goodbye to everyone.

After Chunxiu left, Wang Hongju told the family about the matter between Chunxiu and Cui Fengming, and Mrs. Wang said to her son after hearing this: "Chunxiu is now married to a Boss Su who runs a pharmacy, isn't it a mess for Boss Su's house if you help Chunxiu find Cui Fengming?" ”

Wang Hongju nodded and agreed: "Well, since Chunxiu is already married, then I can't take care of this matter!" But it makes sense for the two of them to meet. ”

Wang Yunqing said: "Hongju, I see that you should do your own business well first and then take care of other people's affairs, let me ask you, when will you see Huang Tingting go?" ”

"Dad, Tingting is very busy with work, she is busy recruiting new students in this summer vacation, I wrote to her before returning to Beijing, I told her to wait for me in the school in Huairou Mountain, I am going to take a long-distance bus to see her early tomorrow morning."

Wang Yunqing nodded and said, "Very good, you and Tingting haven't seen each other for a few years, this time you have to pay attention to it, and it is best to give the two of them a lifelong event!" ”

Mrs. Wang also said: "Hongju, you are also a big boss, you and Tingting's affairs should be done quickly!" The two of you are thousands of miles apart, and it is rare to see each other, and I am afraid that you will have a lot of dreams at night if you drag it on for a long time! ”

"Okay!" Wang Hongju agreed.
