In Private Room No. 4 on the third floor, the reception banquet has just begun.
After exchanging pleasantries, Qiao Mu stood up, with an extremely solemn expression, and said: "Let me tell you one thing first. This afternoon, the Intelligence Department was in the process of hunting down spies. Unfortunately, he died in the line of duty. So I suggest that the first glass of wine
, I would like to pay my respects to all the people with lofty ideals who sacrificed their lives for the party and the country!"
As he spoke, he poured the wine in his cup on the ground as a drink.
Everyone followed suit and poured their wine on the ground.
Qiao Mucai continued: "Everyone also knows that today's meal is a reception banquet prepared for Shen Zhifeng and Zhao Zhuo. I hope you two..."
There was a noise outside the door, and the waiter could be heard saying repeatedly: "Miss, miss, you can't go up. Please go downstairs to eat. The third floor is reserved..."
"I told you, I'm looking for someone, stay away!" Tong Tong said impatiently.
"I'll let you know who you're looking for. You can't force your way in."
"Xin Yu, Xin Yu!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Xinyu quickly stood up and said, "Everyone, please be patient, I'll go out and take a look."
After leaving the private room, he saw that the person making the noise was indeed Tong Tong. Jiang Xinyu signaled the waiter to step back and said, "Why are you here?"
"I told you, I'm here to find someone, if you don't let me come up!" Tong Tong glared at the waiter, and then said happily: "Xinyu, are you really here?"
She walked a few steps, took Jiang Xinyu's hand, and whispered: "Come here, I have something to say..."
The door of the private room opened, and Shen Zhifeng walked out and said, "Captain Jiang, the stationmaster invites this young lady to come in."
There was no way, under Shen Zhifeng's attention, Jiang Xinyu and Tong Tong entered the private room.
"Captain Jiang, let me introduce your friend to everyone." Qiao Mucai said with a smile.
In fact, he himself has known Tong Tong for a long time and met him more than once.
"No need to bother, let me introduce myself. My name is Tong Tong, and I am Jiang Xinyu's... friend!" Tong Tong rarely behaved in a generous manner.
Qiao Mucai said: "Miss Tong, do you know who I am?"
"I know, you are the webmaster, I heard my father mentioned you!" Tong Tong said.
"Is your dad okay?"
"fine."
"How do you know Xinyu is here?"
"I just passed by and saw his car."
"oh……"
"I'm going back, Xinyu, you send me off..."
Tong Tong's original intention was to take advantage of Jiang Xinyu's opportunity to send him downstairs to convey Chu Xiaoxiao's words.
"Miss Tong, since you are here, let's sit down and chat together." Mrs. Qiao said with a smile.
Qiao Mucai has always been interested in bringing Tong Tong and Jiang Xinyu together, and this idea has never stopped. As the husband and wife follow each other, Mrs. Qiao will naturally add fuel to the fire.
The stationmaster's wife spoke, and several other wives also followed suit, urging Tongtong to stay.
Qiao Mucai smiled and said: "Miss Tong, your father and I are old friends, and there are no outsiders here. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get to know each other."
Tong Tong himself is a lively person, and Jiang Xinyu was also present. Hearing everyone's advice, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and whispered: "Xinyu, what do you think?"
Zhou Junchen was close enough to hear these words and joked: "Captain Jiang, Miss Tong is just waiting for you to speak. Can you express your opinion?"
Mrs. Zhou stood up and came over, pulled out a chair in front of Tongtong, and said, "Oh, it's just a meal, it makes it feel like we are going to the battlefield! Miss Tong, can you give me some face?"
It was hard to refuse the warm hospitality, and Jiang Xinyu didn't object, so Tong Tong sat down and Chu Xiaoxiao's instructions were temporarily thrown into the air.
Jiang Xinyu introduced everyone present to Tong Tong one by one. When he introduced Mrs. Zhao Zhuo, Mrs. Zhao stood up, bowed slightly and said, "Miss Tong, please take care of me!"
Tongtong had many contacts with Hattori Mina, and was very sensitive to this kind of etiquette. He blurted out: "Mrs. Zhao, you look like a Japanese..."
Mrs. Zhao said: "Miss Tong has good eyesight. I am indeed Japanese."
Tong Tong's eyes widened in surprise, he looked at Mrs. Zhao, then at Jiang Xinyu, and said: "You are really Japanese..."
There is a full range of alcohol prepared today, including liquor, Huadiao, whiskey, wine, and even a bottle of Japanese sake.
Mrs. Zhou said: "Miss Tong, what kind of wine do you drink?"
Worried that Tong Tong would make a mistake after drinking, Jiang Xinyu hurriedly said: "She doesn't know how to drink. A cup of tea would be good."
"How can that be done? Mrs. Zhao said just now that she doesn't know how to drink. However, on today's occasion, you should drink a little, right?" Mrs. Zhou said reluctantly.
Tong Tong glared at Jiang Xinyu and said, "Who said I can't drink?"
Mrs. Qiao smiled slightly, looked at the ungrateful Tong Tong, and said: "Miss Tong is so refreshing. I like people with this kind of personality the best. They hide everything. They are a hero among women!"
Zhang Nina covered her mouth and said: "Captain Jiang wanted to protect the flower, but unexpectedly he was stung by a flower thorn!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "Tongtong speaks without knowing the depth of her words. I'm worried that she drank too much and may offend everyone with her words."
"How could it be possible? Captain Jiang, you are overthinking it. You just have to stay drunk until you get home today!" Mrs. Qiao filled Tong Tong's glass of wine herself.
After drinking for three rounds, Mrs. Zhou said: "Mrs. Zhao, I heard that people in northern Shaanxi live in cave dwellings. Is it true?"
"Not all, there are also brick and tile houses." Mrs. Zhao said.
When he arrived, Zhao Zhuo had told his wife not to talk too much, lest she didn't know what she said wrongly and offended someone unintentionally, so Mrs. Zhao had been very quiet tonight.
"Tsk, tsk, what if it collapses? You guys, you should come back early!" Mrs. Zhou talked more and more after several glasses of wine. Zhou Junchen winked, but it had no effect at all.
Mrs. Zhao said: "It won't collapse..."
Tong Tong, who was confused after hearing this, couldn't help but ask: "Mrs. Zhao, have you been to northern Shaanxi?"
Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic and that several of the officers and wives were not arrogant, Mrs. Zhao gradually relaxed and said: "I have lived in Yan'an for more than two years and just came to Yanjin yesterday."
Tong Tong was even more surprised and said, "Are you from Yan'an?"
Qiao Mucai coughed lightly, looked at Zhao Zhuo, and said, "Since Miss Tong has asked this, please take this opportunity to tell everyone the cause and effect."
"Yes." Zhao Zhuo stood up and briefly explained what happened.
Qiao Mucai concluded: "Through the experiences of Zhao Zhuo and his wife, we can imagine how vicious the Communist Party is. It is indiscriminate and arrests even its own people. It is completely unreasonable!"
"You guys are about the same..." Tong Tong touched Jiang Xinyu next to him and said in a low voice.
Jiang Xinyu was startled and didn't understand why Tong Tong suddenly said such a sentence.
