The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

After the Liu family's affairs were settled, time entered the fast lane, and half a year passed in a flash. In the He family, except for some minor incidents between the eldest sister-in-law Chen Xueru and the second sister-in-law Xu Huizhen because of the issue of handing in scrap iron for steelmaking, the rest of the time was uneventful.

After get off work that afternoon, He Pingan did not go to Yang's house to pick up the child, but drove to Minister Luo's house. It was probably because He Pingan received a call from Minister Luo while he was at work in the afternoon. He Pingan thought General Xu had returned to Beijing, but he did not expect Minister Luo to hand him an invitation directly.

"Minister, this is...?" He Pingan took the invitation and looked at Minister Luo in confusion.

"Next month, Sir, you are going to host a banquet for the meritorious members of the Volunteer Army at the Beijing Hotel. Here is your invitation!"

"I still have a share in this?" He Pingan said in surprise, trying hard to suppress his smile.

"You have made many contributions, why don't you get any share? Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty in front of me? Get out of here now!" Minister Luo looked at He Ping'an, waved his hand and told him to leave unhappily.

He Pingan knew about this banquet. He thought that only the volunteers who had just returned home were invited, but he didn't expect that he would also be a part of it. It was a pleasant surprise, but he didn't know if he could meet someone he knew.

He Pingan returned home and was about to tell everyone the news. Unexpectedly, his wife spoke first.

"Ping An, you look so happy. Did you also know that my brother was selected as the chef for the state banquet? That's right, you are the security director of the steel mill. How could such news be hidden from you?"

"Oh! I'm not a state banquet chef. I heard that the gentleman was planning to host a banquet for the returning volunteer army comrades at the Beijing Hotel. There were not enough chefs, so they asked me to make up the number. Besides, they just gave me the qualification, and I will have to take an assessment in a few days, and maybe I will be rejected." He Daqing said modestly, but the smile on his lips was harder to suppress than AK.

"Congratulations, big brother. You will be the imperial chef from now on!" He Ping'an knew that with his big brother's cooking skills, the assessment would be no problem at all. The state banquet was basically a done deal.

"Well, there are many first-class chefs in Beijing, not to mention the whole country. You should be more humble!" He Daqing said modestly, but no matter how He Ping'an looked at it, he felt that his elder brother was being Versailles.

"Well! I also have good news to tell you all: I went to Minister Luo's house after get off work just now, and he informed me to attend the Volunteer Army's celebration banquet next month." He Ping'an felt that he could not let He Daqing brag alone, so he told everyone the news that he would attend the banquet.

"Is this true? Didn't they say that the invitation is for those who have returned and made contributions? You've been back for almost five years, why are you still invited?" If they were not a couple, Yang Yiyi's reaction would be exactly the same as He Ping'an's.

"As long as you have made contributions, you will be invited. Minister Luo even gave me the invitation. If you don't believe me, look!" He Ping'an handed the invitation to Yang Yiyi.

"It's true! It's great that we're safe and sound!" Yang Yiyi said happily as she flipped through the invitation.

"Today is a double celebration. I'll cook some delicious dishes and we'll celebrate today!" He Daqing said excitedly when he saw that his brothers were also invited.

He Pingan was looking forward to the celebration banquet. First, he could meet the legendary Mr.; second, he might meet his former comrades who had fought side by side with him.

In the golden autumn of October, as the last batch of volunteers returned home, a celebration banquet was held as scheduled at the Beijing Hotel. In addition to some leaders, all the participants were volunteers who had won military merits in the Korean battlefield. He Ping'an also met many acquaintances here, even soldiers from his own regiment. Everyone told each other about the gunfire and rain of bullets back then, and there was no trace of unfamiliarity.

Not long after everyone reminisced about the past, Mr. He entered the Beijing Hotel accompanied by staff. After fully affirming everyone's contributions, he announced the start of the banquet. Then Mr. He toasted a glass of wine to the soldiers at each table, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax. Unexpectedly, Mr. He still remembered He Ping'an's contribution to earning foreign exchange for the country and specially praised him. He even teased He Ping'an about General Xu.

Even at a lively banquet, people have to leave. When leaving the Beijing Hotel, everyone still couldn't hide their excitement. However, many people drank too much and were helped out by acquaintances. As for He Pingan, he naturally wouldn't get drunk because he was wearing a cheat. He accepted everyone at the banquet and remained sober.

"Zhao Dezhu, how come you are still the same as before? You've only drunk a few drinks and you're already so drunk. You've made me, the regiment commander, lose face!" He Ping'an said jokingly while supporting a drunk young soldier.

"Captain, don't you know how much I can drink? I really can't drink much. If you ask me, you should be blamed for what happened today. Everyone in our regiment knows that you can drink a lot. If you had helped me block a few more glasses just now, I wouldn't be so drunk!" Zhao Dezhu's mouth was like a machine gun, chattering non-stop.

"Damn it, you can't drink, but you blame me. Tell me honestly, how much wine did I block for you just now? Who knew you were so useless? I just went to the next table, and in such a short time, you drank too much!" He Ping'an knew that Zhao Dezhu couldn't drink much, so he wanted to block a few more glasses for him. But who would have thought that this kid got drunk without paying attention.

"Don't worry, Captain. I will be retiring soon. By then, I will work hard to improve my drinking capacity and I promise not to embarrass you next time!" Zhao Dezhu smiled innocently when he heard He Ping'an's words.

"Transfer, what's going on?" With Zhao Dezhu's merits and age, although his future in the army was not bright, it was also a smooth road. How could he be transferred for no reason? Although He Ping'an was afraid of trouble, if someone bullied his comrade-in-arms who had been through life and death with him, He Ping'an would not mind making a scene.

"Don't worry, commander. No one will bully me. You know my situation well. I am the only child of my parents. I joined the army without telling my family. Now that the country is at peace and no one dares to bully us, I took the initiative to transfer to civilian work and spend more time with my family." Zhao Dezhu hurriedly explained when he saw his commander's face change.

"Oh! That's right. Have you decided on your job after your transfer? Do you need any help? Just tell me if you have anything to say. Don't hide anything!" After hearing Zhao Dezhu's explanation, He Ping'an sighed and became concerned about Zhao Dezhu's work problems.

"Don't worry, Commander. The commander has promised me that I can make my own request because of my contributions," Zhao Dezhu said proudly.

"When choosing a job, you must be serious. This is a major event that concerns your whole life, so you can't be careless! I tell you..." Then He Pingan patiently analyzed the pros and cons of each job to Zhao Dezhu.

He Pingan didn't stop nagging until the troops came to pick him up. Before leaving, He Pingan gave another warning, mainly because this kid was a notorious careless person in the regiment, and He Pingan was really worried.
