Zou Yi and Qi Qiangjun had not had a chat, and the birthday party had already begun.

After entering the venue, Zou Yi found that his seat was actually arranged at the farthest from the main table. He was stunned and immediately understood something, but laughed it off.

As soon as she sat down, she saw Xia Zhilan running around like a headless fly. Zou Yi immediately stood up and waved at her.

"Why are you sitting here?"

“Don’t the name be written on this brand?”

Zou Yi smiled and picked up the nameplate on the table and lit it.

"this......"

Xia Zhilan frowned and said unhappily: "It's my uncle who made it again, damn it."

"How about I'll replace it for you"

"No need to change"

Zou Yi shook his head and said, "Isn't this place good? Besides, I won't be happy whoever I change it."

"But"

Xia Zhilan wanted to say something, but Zou Yi interrupted: "Okay, come over quickly, Grandpa Xia is still waiting for you."

"Okay, then I'll go there first."

Xia Zhilan nodded helplessly, but said, "I'll come here to accompany you later."

Looking at her leaving back, Zou Yi felt warm, but he didn't expect that this girl also had a stubborn side.

Just as Xia Zhilan was talking to him, Zou Yi obviously felt countless eyes staring at him, whispering to each other, and whispering to find out the origin in a low voice.

The opening remarks were not short, and the host was full of affection and affection, bringing out all the heroic deeds of Mr. Xia in his early years as if he had been aware of them. He immediately made the young people on the field excited, and he really wanted to follow the old man to go to the battlefield.

Mr. Xia was finished with a few short words. However, Xia Longbai took the manuscript and spoke on behalf of his children. Zou Yi even suspected that he had written the speech he was holding himself.

The next part is also the most lively part of the entire birthday party, and the ceremony is sung.

The so-called gift singing actually means offering gifts. However, in ancient times, whenever a guest came and presented a gift, the recipient would open his throat and shout, "So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-S

Of course, this custom is not very dared to be used now. As the saying goes, if you don’t show off your money, you will be invited to someone with a strong reputation. The things you give will naturally not be bad. Besides, there is still a Disciplinary Inspection Commission now.

So, in order to avoid suspicion, the current gift singing has also changed a little. Not all gift-giving people will be sang gifts, but the gift-giving targets are reduced to juniors like Zou Yi, Qi Qiangjun and Tian Hu. In this way, even if someone wants to find fault, he will have no idea how to start.

After the host announced the details of the ceremony, the young people became squeamish, and none of them dared to go up first. In the end, Qi Qiangjun made the first move. He was probably the oldest among these juniors.

"Qi Qiangjun comes to congratulate you and present a saber."

After the host finished singing the ceremony, Qi Qiangjun clasped his fists to Mr. Xia and bowed, saying, "The strong army wishes Grandpa Xia as good as the East China Sea and long as the South Mountain. This sabre is the private collection of the Qiangjun. According to research, it is used by General Qi Jiguang when he fought against Japanese pirates. As the saying goes, a treasure sword is matched with a hero. I believe that only heroes like Grandpa Xia are qualified to have this sabre."

"Okay, the boy from Qi is good." Mr. Xia responded happily.

With Qi Qiangjun's lead, everyone stopped hiding it, and rushed forward to present gifts one by one, instantly pushing the atmosphere in the venue to "gaochao".

"Tian Hu comes to congratulate you and offer a jade Ruyi"

If you want to say that Tian Hu really looks a little bit. He is about 1.8 meters tall, not inferior to Zou Yi. His white and clean face is full of elegance, and the smile that is hanging on his face at that time, anyone who sees it will not help but praise him.

But when he saw this boy stepping to Mr. Xia, under the astonished eyes of everyone, he knelt on the ground without waiting for the latter to stop him and said aloud: "Tian Hu kowtowed Grandpa Xia three times first."

"If Grandpa Xia hadn't blocked a shot for my grandfather back then, there would be Tian Hu today, so I must knock on these three sounds today."

"It's not possible, it's not possible"

Mr. Xia held Tian Hu's arms and wanted to lift him up, but he couldn't beat him. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a voice came in from the entrance of the venue.

"Tiedan, don't stop me, let Hu'er knock this head down."

Just as the owner of this voice appeared in front of everyone, they all felt awe-inspiring, but saw that several tables beside Zou Yi stood up and saluted.

Driven by curiosity, Zou Yi also looked over, but saw an old man over 70 years old and thin, sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed into the venue. He was like Wang Zhenyu, followed by dozens of soldiers with live ammunition.

"Tian Yuanbai?"

Seeing this scene, Zou Yi also guessed the identity of the person in the wheelchair. Tian Yuanbai, the giant of the Tian family, is like Wang Zhenyu. One of the only remaining founding marshals is also the old leader of Mr. Xia back then.

Tian Yuanbai's arrival made Zou Yi frown. At his level, he would not show up easily on such occasions. However, he saw that the other party had both qi and blood deficiency, which was obviously a serious illness. He had to come over in this situation. When he saw Tian Hu's excited expression like chicken blood, the unknown feeling in Zou Yi's heart became stronger and stronger.

"Old leader, look at this, it's really impossible."

As Tian Yuanbai came, Mr. Xia immediately stood up, walked quickly to the former, and smiled bitterly: "You are in poor health, why are you here in person?"

"Ahem"

After coughing twice, Tian Yuanbai said weakly: "I don't care about others. I'll do my birthday. Even if I have to fight for this old flesh, I must come. This is what my brother owe you."

"Old Team Leader"

After hearing this, Mr. Xia suddenly burst into tears and held Tian Yuanbai's palm tremblingly.

"Hu'er, come here and kowtow to you Grandpa Xia"

Under the other party's insistence, Mr. Xia could only suffer from Tian Hu's three blows, but the tears never stopped and kept flowing down his cheeks.

It is not aimless to say that Tian Yuanbai can make such a statement. Tian Hu has already said before that Mr. Xia blocked a bullet for the former. If there was no such block, there might not be the founding marshal Tian Yuanbai today.

Blocking bullets is only one of the reasons, and there is also an unknown past that has been hidden deep in the hearts of the two old men, so that Tian Yuanbai felt guilty towards Mr. Xia all the time.

It is said that when the two armies were at the most intense confrontation, as the main battalion, Tian Yuanbai naturally led the way in the front. In a tough battle between the enemy defending and attacking, the enemy's snipers didn't know how they detoured the rear of the troops.

As the saying goes, shooting a man and shooting a horse first, capturing the thief first, the king first. The sniper suddenly put a cold gun on his back, and saw that the bullet was about to hit Tian Yuanbai's heart. At that time, Mr. Xia was standing next to the former. He said that the old man had some skills in his hand, especially his ears, which were extremely sensitive. When he heard the gun body coming from a distance, he didn't even think about it, and directly blocked Tian Yuanbai. The bullet that was supposed to hit Tian Yuanbai instantly penetrated the shoulder blades of Mr. Xia.

Because of his serious injuries, Mr. Xia was unable to participate in the subsequent battle. The battle was extremely difficult. Finally, under the bombardment of the enemy's heavy weapons, our army retreated step by step.

Mr. Xia got married once during the war and gave birth to a fat boy. In this battle, he originally planned to capture the city and use it as a base to raise troops and accumulate strength. Therefore, many family members followed behind the large army, and the old man's wife and children were among them.

Due to serious injuries and coma, Mr. Xia has been staying in the medical team. Although Tian Yuanbai took care of his subordinates afterwards, he must take his wife and children to break through safely, under the enemy's uninterrupted bombardment, the family members behind had already become in chaos. Until they evacuated from the battlefield, they could not find them, mother and son.

When Mr. Xia woke up seriously injured and found out about this, he fainted on the spot. Until today, this hurdle has accumulated in his heart and he will never forget it.
