Chu Cuihua was speechless, and she couldn't think of words to refute for a while.

Chu Tianyi also ignored her anymore, looked sideways slightly, and said to her husband who was driving: "Brother, it's almost noon, let's find a place to eat!" I'm in trouble with Zhu and Xiao Zhou today, and I should be hungry now. ”

"Sister-in-law, this is not necessary; We don't help out to eat. Li Xiang waved his hand again and again.

Zhou Tian's forehead crossed a look of displeasure, "Yes! Sister-in-law, we're really not here to eat this meal. ”

"Hehe, you are too careful, we didn't invite you to dinner for your help; You and Lei Zer are comrades-in-arms and brothers, and he is usually not in the county seat, so he doesn't have the opportunity to get together with you. This time he finally came back from vacation, so you naturally want to get together, don't you even want to get together? Chu Tianyi smiled sideways.

Li Xiang's heart sank, "Naturally not, sister-in-law, don't think about it; Eat a meal, we may not have eaten together in a long time. ”

Zhou Tian blushed even more, he misunderstood what others meant, or more correctly, he thought about others crookedly.

"Sister-in-law, I'm really embarrassed! It's that I want to be crooked. It's true that Lei Zer doesn't come back often, but he wants to get together, get together, get together. ”

"Huh...... That's right! You're all brothers, just a meal. Chu Tianyi nodded with satisfaction, avoiding the sight of a few people in the back seat, and winked at Lei Ce, who was cute and naughty, but not beautiful.

Lei Zer chuckled and looked back at the two of them: "Your sister-in-law is teasing you!" It's really serious, the police have been in vain all these years. ”

Zhou Tian's face was even redder, he really can't be blamed for this, his sister-in-law is too powerful.

"Hehehe." Li Xiang scratched his head and laughed dryly.

Chu Cuihua and Sun Shengquan had complicated faces, and the two of them felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, their family had not settled down until now; Xiaomei's family is very generous, and things like inviting guests to dinner can be said lightly.

"Xiangzi, where are the better hotels in the county? I want delicious food! Lei Ze turned his head and asked.

Li Xiang wiped away the dry smile on his face, and said with a smile: "There are no hotels in our county, only restaurants; There is a good restaurant, the price is fair, and the taste of the food is not to be said. ”

"Show us the way, and we'll go somewhere." Lei Ce spoke, and Li Xiang always paid attention to the road conditions, pointing the way from time to time.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside a restaurant called 'Food for the Sky'.

Li Xiang opened the car door and got out of the car first, "Old Lei, sister-in-law, how is this place?" Doesn't look like it's a shame, right? ”

"Lao Lei, this place is very popular with the leadership team and rich families in the county; Look at it, the name is 'food for the sky', and the image is tall when you hear it. Zhou Tian followed and got out of the car and said with a smile.

Chu Tianyi pushed the door and stepped out of the passenger seat, looking at Lei Ze who also got out of the car and smiling.

Lei Zer said: "The name is very good, and it looks okay; Let's go! Let's go in and see if it's really as popular as you say. ”

"Ironclad will not let you down." Li Xiang walked to the hotel with the group of people who got out of the car.

Walking into the hotel, Li Xiang directly asked for a private room and handed the menu to Lei Ze, "You and your sister-in-law can order food!" Zhou Tian and I are not picky eaters. ”

"It's better for you! Our taste is similar, but my daughter-in-law eats it lighter; By the way, second sister, second brother-in-law, what about you? Reitzer turned back and asked them.

Chu Cuihua and Sun Shengquan waved their hands again and again, "We are not picky eaters. ”

Lei Ce nodded lightly and pushed the menu back, "Xiangzi, you should order food!" ”

"Okay! Then you take your sister-in-law and them to the box first, and I'll come over in a while. After Li Xiang finished speaking, Zhou Tian took the initiative to walk with Lei Ce, and the two walked side by side and entered the settled box together.

Chu Tianyi looked at the box and retracted his gaze; The box is not big, and it is not half a star worse than that of Meimeixuan. But this is really unique in the host county, and it is no wonder that the people in the leadership team are willing to come here to eat.

Not to mention the price, just the secrecy measures made by this hotel can win a lot of customers.

Lei Zer led his wife and children to the inside and pulled out a chair for them, "Daughter-in-law sit." ”

"Okay." Chu Tianyi sat down on the chair sideways, picked up the two children and put them on the chair next to him; Reitzer sat next to the children, so that it would be easier for them to pick up the dishes.

The same is true for Chu Cuihua and Sun Shengquan.

As soon as they came in for a while, there were service staff who put together the dishes, chopsticks, tea and other things.

When they left together, Zhou Tian sat opposite Lei Ze, the table was a round table, but it was spacious, "Old Lei, how long do you have a vacation?" Maybe we can get together again after the New Year; There are also three comrades-in-arms in Linxian who are also working in the Public Security Bureau, and if there is enough time, I will find a way to inform them. ”

"I'm afraid there is not enough time, I have to go back after the fifteenth day of the new year, and I don't have many holidays."

"That's a shame." Zhou Tian shook his head regretfully.

At this time, Li Xiang walked into the box after ordering, "What are you talking about?" What is Xiao Zhou shaking his head? Come, talk to me. ”

Zhou Tian recounted what he had just said, and Li Xiang laughed, "The three of them are now at home with their daughters-in-law, children, and the elderly for the New Year!" There's no time to pay attention to us; Later, we will have the opportunity to go to Province A, and then we will have a treat for Lao Lei! ”

"Yes! When we were free, we made an appointment to blackmail him together. Zhou Tian laughed.

Lei Ze smiled: "You just went on a special trip to blackmail me into a meal, is it worth it?" ”

The three of them talked and laughed, and Chu Tianyi listened to them quietly, occasionally taking care of the children's tea.

Chu Cuihua and Sun Shengquan looked down at their sons beside them, and they couldn't insert a word into their topic.

"Knock knock."

Three unhurried knocks sounded, and Li Xiang stood up suddenly, "It must be that the food is coming, I'll open the door." With that, he walked to the door of the box and opened the door.

"Comrade, your meal is ready, is it now served?" A waiter male stood in the doorway.

Li Xiang nodded, "Hurry up, everyone is hungry." ”

"Okay." The waiter turned sideways, and behind him a long line of male waiters came with dishes.

Quickly set up the dishes, bow slightly and turn to leave.

The waiter who led the front smiled and said, "Everyone, use it slowly, if you need anything, just call us directly." ”

Li Xiang waved his hand and closed the door smoothly, "Old Lei, sister-in-law, hurry up and taste the dishes here; Oh, and these two comrades also try it and see how the dishes here differ from the meals in Province A. ”

Lei Ce took the dish and put it in her bowl, Chu Tianyi tasted it, the taste was moderate, "It's not bad." "It's just that the heat of the green vegetables is a little too much, so it tastes a little soft, and the taste is a little worse.

Of course, she wouldn't say that on such an occasion.

"My sister-in-law said it was good, so it was good." Li Xiang smiled and beckoned everyone to eat, "Everyone eats, everyone eats; I'll pour wine, and Lao Lei wants to have a drink with us. ”

"Shoko, just drink? I'll have to drive for a while. Lei Zer frowned and looked at the wine handed to him.

"That can't be, this wine must be drunk today; You're the host of a treat, and you can't say anything if you don't drink. Li Xiang didn't let him go, "Your kid's drinking, Xiao Zhou and I both know; Don't shirk it, come and drink. ”

Li Xiang said so, Lei Ce is not good to refuse.

Li Xiang filled the four men with wine, took turns to toast, and after a few rounds, as soon as the wine was drunk, the men had no scruples, and Zhou Tian asked directly: "Lao Lei, how are you doing in the army now?" Why should it be the position of regiment commander? ”

"The division commander who was promoted a few years ago, if you count it according to the previous promotion speed, I am afraid that it will be the regiment commander." Lei Zejun's face was soft, and he was not shy about his questioning.

Zhou Tian was taken aback, "Division commander! My good girl, Lao Lei, your promotion speed is fast enough! ”

Lei Ze smiled, "It's not too fast, you also know that I was transferred to Province A later; In the past few years, the pattern of Province A has changed a lot, and thanks to the old chiefs above, they can afford it, so they have been promoted. ”

"You're a good boy! I really can't see what rank you are now? The division commander level must be a colonel, right? Zhou Tian smacked his tongue.

Retzer smiled.

"Is it really a colonel?" Zhou Tian nodded again when he saw him, and his heart was horrified, "You kid is lucky!" In just five years, he was promoted to colonel, Xiangzi, tell me, why is this kid so lucky! I met Bole. ”

"Where do we soldiers have luck? It's all fought by blood and sweat. When Lei Ze said this, he glanced at his wife with some guilt, "Let's tell you the truth!" I studied in the military academy for three years, during which time there were constant assignments; I don't have time to take care of the family, your sister-in-law has to take care of the newborn child alone, and she has to work, and she is still in college at that time. Bitter! But there is no way, if I want to stay in the army, I have to fight for military merits, ranks, and positions. My daughter-in-law has suffered a lot for me over the years, and a woman has taken on the whole family, and I feel uncomfortable. ”

Zhou Tian and Li Xiang's chopsticks paused for holding vegetables, and looked at Chu Tianyi, who was sitting next to him, bright and moving; For what Lei Ce said, there was envy in his heart, mixed with some faint jealousy.

If they had a wife who could be like her, why did they choose to change jobs and retire from the army?

"During those three years, I studied at the military academy, or I went on a mission, and I didn't even have the opportunity to go home and see." The more Lei Zer spoke, the more guilty he became, holding her soft with one hand and rubbing it slowly.

Chu Tianyi smiled lightly and shook his thick and hot palm.

Zhou Tian and Li Xiang both understood the sourness, but for men, this was another kind of sweetness, "Lao Lei, now you can be regarded as boiling out, let's not talk about that!" I had a good meal, but I didn't want to make the scene sad. ”

"That's right, come on, keep drinking." Reitzer held his wife's hand tightly and lifted the quilt.

After eating and drinking, the two women sat aside with their children and watched them continue to drink.
