After the meal, Zhao Cheng had gained a lot. He heard many interesting stories about their time fighting the Japanese. He also learned about the current positions of the leaders. However, they basically had no intersection with Zhao Cheng. It was like having some connections, but they were not very useful.

Tian Huaizhong and Zhao Cheng were the last to leave. Although Blind Cheng wanted to be a matchmaker for Tian Dan, Tian Huaizhong himself could not make the decision for his own daughter, let alone get involved in her marriage.

"Xiao Zhao, let's go!" Tian Huaizhong came out after paying the bill and looked at Zhao Cheng who was waiting at the door, and said.

"Let's go, Uncle Tian. I'll take you home first!" Zhao Cheng got on the bike and Tian Huaizhong sat in the back.

Tian Huaizhong currently lives in an ordinary courtyard with Tian Dan. They will move there once the larger courtyard is completed.

Zhao Cheng sent Tian Huaizhong home. Tian Dan was also at home and did not have to work overtime today.

"Sister, I brought Uncle Tian back!" Zhao Cheng shouted standing at the door.

"Why are you drinking so late? Didn't you just invite Uncle Li and the others for dinner?" Tian Dan asked unhappily when she saw Zhao Cheng and her father outside.

"There are quite a few people here, all of them are Uncle Tian's old comrades, so they must be drinking to their heart's content! What's more, there is Commander Li who can drink a lot! If they were drinking at home, I guess they could drink all night long!" Zhao Cheng said helplessly, looking at Tian Huaizhong, who was already a little confused.

"Next time, you should stay out of their business. Come with me and give him a good beating!" Tian Dan said angrily with her eyebrows raised.

After Zhao Cheng helped Tian Dan send Tian Huaizhong into the house, he said goodbye.

"Go home quickly! Be careful on the road!" Tian Dan sent Zhao Cheng to the door.

"Okay, go back! It's so cold!" Zhao Cheng got on the bike, waved his hand, and rode home.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Zhao Cheng returned home. The gate of the compound was locked at this time. Zhao Cheng knocked hard on the door and called Yan Fugui out to open the door for him.

"Officer Zhao, why are you back so late?" Yan Fugui opened the door and asked curiously.

"An elder invited his comrades to dinner, so I went to join them!" Zhao Cheng replied while lifting his bicycle.

"Hey, Officer Zhao, you didn't come back this afternoon and didn't see the excitement!" Yan Fugui said mysteriously.

"What? Is there another joke in the courtyard?"

"Hehe, that's right. This time it's Shazhu who came back and made a fool of himself."

"Shazhu is back today? What happened to him?"

"Hehe, it was because Sha Zhu ruined his father's good deeds, so he was chased and beaten by He Daqing. I couldn't bear to watch it!" Yan Fugui shivered, not knowing whether he was scared or cold.

"Okay, Manager Yan, it's too cold. You should go back quickly! I'm going home too. I drank too much and can't stand it anymore!" When Zhao Cheng saw that the old man was only wearing a cotton jacket, he stopped talking and asked Old Yan to go home.

After Zhao Cheng entered the room, he quickly washed up and got into bed.

"Brother Cheng, are the dishes delicious tonight?" Pingping asked curiously while hugging Zhao Cheng.

"Don't mention it. I couldn't even tell whether it tasted good or not, but they did drink a lot of wine! These guys can drink a lot, especially Commander Li and Minister Zhao. Their alcohol tolerance is really amazing. They each drank a bottle and a half of Moutai!" Zhao Cheng sighed.

"Who's having dinner today?"

Zhao Cheng briefly told Pingping about the people who were having dinner. "They're all Uncle Tian's old comrades. They happened to be sitting together just as Commander Li was in Peking on business. Uncle Tian also wanted me to get to know more people!" Zhao Cheng said.

"You don't want to climb up the social ladder, and there's no point in knowing too many people. Let's just live our own lives! I think our current life is very good. We don't have to worry about food and drink every day, and we can watch our children grow up slowly!" Pingping said happily while lying on Zhao Cheng's chest.

"Yes, my biggest dream is to have a wife and children, a warm bed, enough money to live on, and no worries about food and clothing. I want to have some surplus every month! And watch the children grow up safely!" Zhao Cheng also hugged Pingping tightly.

The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside. Zhao Cheng was woken up by his daughter.

"Dad, get up quickly, the sun is almost reaching the roof!" Zhao Weihong muttered to herself while pushing her father.

"Oh, my dear, Daddy will get up right away! Stop pushing!" Zhao Cheng had to struggle to get up.

"Weihong, don't disturb your father! Come and have dinner!" Pingping's voice came from the living room.

Wei Hong quickly got down from the bed and ran to the living room to eat. Zhao Cheng got up, put on his clothes, and went to the living room. He found that the food was already served, so he sat down and started eating. After all, he didn't eat anything yesterday and only drank alcohol, so he was really a little hungry now.

After dinner, Zhao Cheng packed up and went to work. After arriving at the police station, Xiao Li came directly to him.

"Director, your hospital is really lively. I went to your house yesterday and happened to see a big show!" Xiao Li closed the door, walked over to sit opposite Zhao Cheng and said.

"Oh? What happened when you went there yesterday?" Zhao Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"When I went there yesterday, I happened to meet the eldest son of Chef He from your courtyard coming home. I thought it was nothing serious. After telling my sister-in-law that I was going to have dinner, I wanted to leave. But before I could go far, I saw Chef He's eldest son running out of the hanging flower gate, shouting "old pervert" as he ran, and Chef He chased him out. I also saw the Qinhuai District you mentioned, it was really pitiful! No wonder Jia Dongxu was so confused that he couldn't find his way!" Xiao Li briefly told Zhao Cheng what happened yesterday afternoon.

Zhao Cheng laughed after hearing this and didn't care. After all, if He Daqing and He Yuzhu didn't make some noise, this courtyard wouldn't be here.

"That couple must have been doing something in the house, and it was disrupted by the rude He Yuzhu. And you don't know that He Yuzhu has a foul mouth and is also a very stubborn guy, like a stubborn donkey that won't move even if you lead it and will go backwards even if you beat it. Don't these two quarrel every time they meet?" Zhao Cheng said indifferently.

"Well, I saw it. Yesterday, He Daqing was chasing with a pair of tongs from behind, while He Yuzhu was running in front. He was not being honest and kept saying that his father was this and that, and that he married a wife who was almost as old as him. What's more, this wife treated her own sister badly. Oh, you didn't hear it. He really knows how to say whatever he wants! The neighbors all heard it. I guess the funny stories about the father and son will be spread all over the market in a few days!" Xiao Li couldn't help laughing while talking, and so did Zhao Cheng. He Yuzhu is really a filial son. He dares to say anything.

"By the way, Chief, there are a lot of new refugees coming here recently. Have you noticed?" Xiao Li said.

"I didn't notice it. How did the refugees come to the old city? Besides, this matter is under the management of the street, not ours!" Zhao Cheng wondered.
