Chapter 91: Family Recognition Banquet, "Dad, drink less"

Chu Sangning's eyes were still slightly red, and his voice was muffled, "Dad, don't pick up food for me, you eat too."

As for Zhou Yongzhuo who was staring at him, Chu Sangning really didn't know how to face him. He lowered his head and picked up a chopstick for him, "You eat too."

Seeing that Chu Sangning did not reject his kindness, Zhou Yongzhuo felt dizzy, and he couldn't help but smile with relief when looking at Chu Sangning at the dinner table.

After a meal, Chu Sangning was full. Qiao Xiangye and He Shulan looked at their old friend Zhou Yongzhuo's worthless appearance, and their mouths twitched.

"Dad, I'm going home first." After dinner, Chu Sangning left first, and Jiang Xingyan followed her out out of concern.

Before he could say a few words to his daughter, he saw her leaving. Zhou Yongzhuo was anxious to follow her, but fortunately Chu Yuanlin stopped her.

He said unhappily, "Sangning is upset now, let her calm down."

Zhou Yongzhuo paused and didn't follow her. The two men looked at each other, and Zhou Yongzhuo suddenly bowed to thank her, "Thank you."

Thank you for taking in Xiaozhi, thank you for taking care of Sangning.

Chu Yuanlin spoke out the truth that he had hidden for a long time, and his eyes were red. He still said stubbornly: "Why thank me? I did it for Xizhi, not for you."

In fact, both of them knew that Chu Yuanlin could have kept these words hidden for a lifetime, and the truth would be buried. Chu Sangning would still be his daughter.

It was just for Xizhi's last wish, so that Sangning could find her biological father.

Chu Sangning's heart was very confused, and she didn't even talk to Jiang Xingyan. She whispered through a door: "Jiang Xingyan, I want to be quiet."

Jiang Xingyan didn't say a word, and stood at the door for a long time before turning around and leaving.

Zhou Yongzhuo's departure time also stopped. He wanted to have a good communication with Chu Sangning, but Chu Sangning had been hiding at home, and he had no choice.

It was not until two days later that Chu Sangning appeared in front of Zhou Yongzhuo. His expression was completely different from before, more open-minded and comfortable, "Uncle Zhou, can I call you that?"

Zhou Yongzhuo's eyes flashed a trace of regret, and he still nodded excitedly, "Of course."

"Uncle Zhou, can you tell me about my mother's past?"

Chu Sangning has never lacked fatherly love, but her mother in her memory is just a pair of warm hands and a pale and moving face, nothing else.

Just like that, Chu Sangning and Zhou Yongzhuo walked together in harmony. The two chatted from dawn to dusk. Winter nights get dark very quickly. Looking at the sky, Zhou Yongzhuo felt a little sorry that he and his daughter had too little time together.

"Then go back and have dinner first, and we'll talk about it another day." His words were full of temptation.

When Chu Sangning nodded and turned to leave, he suddenly invited him, "Do you want to join us?"

"Of course, okay, okay, I... Should I go back and get something first?" Zhou Yongzhuo was so happy that he didn't know what he was saying.

This was the first time that the lady invited him to her home for dinner. It was not good to go empty-handed. Zhou Yongzhuo completely ignored Chu Sangning's advice and turned around and ran away in a hurry.

"Go back first, don't wait for me, I'll go back to get something."

Looking at Zhou Yongzhuo's excited back, Chu Sangning smiled and thought it would be nice to have another father.

After returning, Chu Yuanlin saw that there was no one behind the lady, and disappointment flashed in his eyes, "Didn't you and your father come to the house for dinner?"

After waiting for a long time, the lady was willing to communicate with Zhou Yongzhuo. The happiest person was Chu Yuanlin. He sincerely hoped that Sangning could accept Zhou Yongzhuo. After all, Zhou Yongzhuo was not easy.

After learning about Zhou Yongzhuo's experience in recent years from Qiao Xiangye, the last bit of grudge in Chu Yuanlin's heart disappeared.

It's not that Zhou Yongzhuo didn't look for him, but the world is a tricky thing. He looked for him in many places but came up empty-handed.

"Dad--" Chu Sangning pouted and looked unhappy: "Why do you always push me away? Am I still your daughter?"

She held Chu Yuanlin's arm and acted coquettishly.

Chu Yuanlin smiled, "How can that be? You are my daughter no matter what."

Chu Sangning was satisfied and pulled her father into the house, "Of course I invited him. Uncle Zhou went home to get some things first, saying that he was embarrassed to come home empty-handed."

When Zhou Yongzhuo came over with a package, the meal was ready. Chu Yuanlin, Jiang Xingyan and Chu Sangning were sitting in the living room waiting for him. Zhou Yongzhuo suddenly smiled when he smelled the fragrance of the meal.

After Xiaozhi disappeared, there was no longer that familiar smell of food at home...

"Zhou Yongzhuo, what are you doing standing there? Come in and eat." Chu Yuanlin patted the stool beside him, asking Zhou Yongzhuo to stop being in a daze and come to eat quickly.

Jiang Xingyan also contributed his own wine. Chu Yuanlin and Zhou Yongzhuo took a bite of food and a sip of wine. The two grown men cried bitterly.

Chu Sangning sat on the side and watched. Suddenly, there was a small blanket on her body. "It's cold. Don't freeze."

Jiang Xingyan sat next to the little girl and bravely hugged Chu Sangning's shoulders. The two looked at Chu Yuanlin and Zhou Yongzhuo crying and recalling Qiao Xizhi.

Worried that the girl would also be moved by the scene, Jiang Xingyan whispered to comfort her: "It's all in the past. My mother will be your mother in the future."

Chu Sangning, still moved, pushed Jiang Xingyan away, her big red eyes like a furry rabbit, "Bah, shameless, I didn't say I would marry you."

"Huh?" Jiang Xingyan squinted and moved closer.

Seeing the distance between the two getting closer and closer, the drunk Chu Yuanlin suddenly shouted: "Stinky boy, let go."

"Burp, let go." Zhou Yongzhuo also echoed.

One father-in-law is already difficult enough, and he, Jiang Xingyan, has met two.

The girl is soft-hearted, and Jiang Xingyan knows that maybe Chu Sangning will accept Zhou Yongzhuo after a while.

With two big lights on, Jiang Xingyan could do nothing. He sighed helplessly, helped the drunkard out with one hand each, and told Chu Sangning: "Leave the dishes there, I'll wash them tomorrow."

After several days of persuasion, Chu Sangning agreed to Qiao Xiangye's request and held a small family recognition banquet in the army cafeteria.

Qiao Xiangye and He Shulan wore new clothes and introduced their niece to the company commanders and battalion commanders of the army in high spirits.

Chu Sangning is just a mascot, just smile at everyone.

Zhou Yongzhuo looked at Qiao Xiangye with envy, wondering when Sangning would recognize him?

When they returned to the dinner table, Chu Sangning saw Zhou Yongzhuo started drinking again. He thought of what his uncle said, that he was not in good health and would not live long if he did not take good care of himself.

"Drink less... Dad..."

Zhou Yongzhuo was flattered and did not care that the wine glass in his hand fell.
