Nan Pocket Hutong, in front of an ordinary courtyard house.

Zhang Qing was a little surprised when he saw a "Zhou's Cuisine" plaque hanging on the door.

Qiao Yue smiled and said: "Donglaishun and Quanjude are all for outsiders. After the public-private partnership, the taste has completely changed. To eat authentic Pingjing cuisine, you need to find restaurants like this. Li Zijun really feels sorry for his little daughter-in-law.

Otherwise, you should find a club and just join in the fun."

The two of them were standing in front of the door. There was a waiter waiting there. After Qiao Yue finished speaking, she led the two of them inside.

The front yard of the third garden was unremarkable, and it was only after passing the Moon Gate that we saw the true chapter.

Chaoshou veranda, large screen, Kowloon screen wall, Taihu stone...

In the courtyard, seven or eight young men and women were scattered there. Some were watching fish, some were sitting on deck chairs and puffing away cigarettes, some were gathering to play cards, and some were actually barbecuing meat by the grill.

…

Seeing that Zhang Qing was in a daze, Qiao Yue chuckled and said, "How about it, it's different from what you thought? They are not old-fashioned aristocrats, and they are tired of pretending to be aristocrats."

Li Zijun had already laughed and came forward, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "How can there be nobility in the Republic? Zhang Qing, this is Xiao Wei."

After Zhang Qing shook hands, he gave the card in his hand to the sweet girl holding Li Zijun's arm, and said: "Happy birthday."

Qiao Yue was also overjoyed to send her own: "Happy birthday!"

Li Zijun looked at the two of them speechlessly, but the girl named Xiao Wei took it with a smile and said thank you.

A man with a crew cut came over, the fat on his smiling face was shaking, and he roared: "Good guy, man! That's okay..." Qiao Yue looked over with a smile on her face with foxy eyes, and the man immediately changed his words, full of regret.

Said: "Of course it is, why didn't I think of it! How pure and beautiful this is! Oh my, my beautiful youth is gone forever!"

Li Zijun introduced: "This is my son, with a black beard."

He also introduced to everyone in the yard: "Little brother, Zhang Qing! We all lived under the influence of Meng Zu, but the little brother really stepped out of the mountain village of Xijiang step by step with his talent. Come on, let's all get to know each other.

The hero of Jinyongjin!"

"Grandma! He is Jin Yong?!"

"real or fake?!"

At present, the lives of this group of people are definitely much more colorful than those of ordinary people, but they are far from being intoxicated every night.

So, I still have time to read some idle books and learn about Jin Yong.

A group of people gathered around to watch the fun, and Li Zijun introduced them one by one.

Huzi Mo looked at Zhang Qing, then at Qiao Yue, and suddenly said with a bad smile: "Xiaoyue, isn't this your boyfriend?"

Others looked over one after another, and two of them looked unhappy.

Qiao Yue flatly denied: "Fart! This is my junior brother, and you all know his partner."

Li Zijun laughed and said, "It's that girl Qi Juan!"

Many people gasped: "Really or not? Aunt Li knew about it, but she still didn't break his legs?"

Li Zijun said with joy, "If you don't say that my little brother is awesome, Aunt Li treats him as her own son!"

A young man named Zhao Jianguo stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "Master Jin, I admire you, I admire you!" His face was the ugliest just now. After the misunderstanding was eliminated, he immediately burst into laughter.

Another girl named Zheng Li also lamented: "Aunt Li and Aunt Gu are both very serious people, and they are scared when they meet them since they were young. There are so many children in the compound, but few of them can catch her eye."

"

Li Zijun saw that Zhang Qing was not used to this kind of situation, so he waved his hand and said: "Everyone goes about his or her own business, let's talk for a while."

"Don't mention it!"

A tall man wearing only a vest on his upper body smiled and said: "I've been grilling skewers for a long time. You guys are talking about giving birth and getting old. It's hard to come to Xijiang. Brother, come and take over."

Zhang Qing stepped forward with a smile, picked up the meat skewers and rolled them skillfully.

"Little brother, please be at ease. We are all ordinary people. We just don't play casually with outsiders. Look at me. I have a red nose and a red face. I am shirtless and have big pants. I have a pair of pullovers at my feet and a cup of jasmine tea.

Bowl."

Perhaps seeing Zhang Qing's discomfort, the tall man laughed and joked to himself.

Li Zijun also smiled and said: "You have to learn this from Juanzi. Ask them which one of them was not scolded by Juanzi when they were young."

Speaking of this, it immediately became lively.

Bearded Mo Gaga happily said: "At that time, she didn't know where all the curse words came from. At that time, I was just pretending to be a family, so I just said that I would be a grandpa, and I also smoked like an old man. Hey, guess what,

The good guy fucked me up. She said that my old man played with fireballs and burned his buttocks and put sesame oil on it."

Everyone laughed, and Zheng Li also covered her mouth and laughed: "At that time, Yang Xiaoqi from the political compound was a member of our group, relying on his six brothers to fight, and scolding people like a little hooligan. But he met Juanzi

,What did Juanzi say?"

Li Zijun laughed loudly and said: "You scolded me, I bowed my head, and your mother gave birth to a litter of monkeys. Yang Xiaoqi was so angry that she was so angry!"

Good guy, a group of people were jumping and laughing, and Zhang Qing also laughed. The image of Qi Juan when she was a child came to mind, and she missed it very much...

The tall man named Cao Qiang looked at Zhang Qing and said with a smile: "If Aunt Li wasn't so scary, there would be quite a few of us who like Juanzi this time."

Qiao Yue sneered from the side: "It sounds like Juanzi likes you."

Cao Qiang said "Fuck" and said with a smile: "You girls were more cute when you were young. When you grow up, you will have more troubles..."

Qiao Yue sneered and said: "What are you worried about? Although we are not cute or beautiful, don't you still have those sisters in heaven and earth? Your second son of the Cao family fought jealously with Taiwanese businessmen for the sake of Fox Meiniang, and became famous in Beijing. How amazing is that?

, how interesting.”

Zheng Li laughed and said: "Cao Er, when are you going to invite us to sit down so that we can see how coquettish that foxy lady is! How coquettish must she be to dare to call herself a foxy lady?"

Cao Qiang suddenly covered his eyes and shouted: "Oh, no, I just got smoked from the barbecue, I have to wash my face!"

As he spoke, he hid his face and avoided others.

Most of the other people had been there too, and walked away laughing.

Li Zijun's partner Xiao Wei held his arm and smiled a little reluctantly.

Why are we returning to our original nature today, with a group of government officials gathering in such a simple place instead of a club with feasting and entertainment?

Isn't it just because Xiao Wei is from a club...

The men tried to avoid this topic to save face for Li Zijun, but girls such as Qiao Yue and Zheng Li didn't care.

In their hearts, they may not like this girl...

Zhang Qing shook the grilled meat skewers to shake off as much fat as possible, then took out a handful and handed it to the girl next to Li Zijun, smiling and saying: "Today is the birthday of the oldest man, let's try the authentic Xijiang barbecue."

Xiao Wei is a shy girl, but she is not petty. After taking over, she smiled with Zhang Qing and said, "Thank you."

Qiao Yue took the initiative to get it. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up and she praised: "It looks like the Xijiang barbecue outside Dongzhimen, it's authentic!"

Others smelled the aroma and came to taste it, and some even fought over it. It seemed that the relationship between this group was indeed close enough.

Li Zijun smiled and persuaded: "We will have dinner later. Master has been preparing it since last night..." No one paid him any attention.

"It's strange. The same meat, the same condiments, the same stove, and the same charcoal fire, but the taste of the roast is so different..."

Cao Qiang was puzzled and could only eat meat.

But soon the waiter inside sent word that the food was ready and the guests were invited to take their seats.

The group of people followed Li Zijun's greeting and entered, sat down around the round table, and started serving food.

Zhou's cuisine is unique. Every time a dish is served, the master chef will explain the origin and deliciousness of the dish.

Zhang Qing listened with great interest as he introduced dishes such as "Angel Fish", "Tsing Yi Su Xin", "Emerald Exquisite Crystal Roll", "Arhat Prawn", "Three Silk Shark's Fin" and other dishes.

After a table full of dishes was placed, the service staff left. Li Zijun raised a glass and said: "Today is Xiaowei's birthday. No outsiders were invited. It's nothing but fun. It's been a long time since we all got together. Today

Let’s take advantage of Xiaowei’s birthday and let’s get together and have a great time. Come on, cheers!”

Zhang Qing had already calmly replaced the wine in the glass with water. Fortunately, the person sitting next to him was Qiao Yue. Although he noticed it, he didn't say anything.

After everyone finished drinking, Li Zijun poured the wine again and talked about the second thing: "There is one more thing I would like to ask my brothers and sisters to give me some advice. They are not outsiders, and I will not hide it.

, my mother still disagrees with me and Xiaowei. She has said so many good things, but it is of no use. What do you think we should do? Please help me figure it out! I will drink this cup, and I respect you!"

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it dry.

Xiao Wei's eyes turned red and she looked at Li Zijun with emotion.

Zhang Qing saw that Qiao Yue raised her left hand to cover her eyebrows, blocking the sight of Li Zijun and Xiaowei, with an almost ferocious expression on her face, as if she was vomiting.

Zheng Li sat opposite her, also suppressing a smile.

Girls are a little more scrupulous, but guys are screwed.

Huzi Mo said: "Zijun, aren't you making trouble? Although Aunt Lin doesn't have Aunt Gu and Aunt Li has a tough temper, no other mother would agree to this kind of thing."

Zhao Jianguo also said: "That's right. Zijun, I advise you to give up on this idea."

Li Zijun's face turned dark, he slapped the table and cursed: "What the hell are you talking about? I just heard you say this?"

Cao Qiang comforted and said: "Zijun, don't be upset. It's just because we have been our own people since we were young, so we can say anything. Don't worry, if you think like this, this matter will have to happen to me.

Can you think of a way out? Do you dare to go to my mother to intercede? I won’t slap you so hard."
