In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Gao Fangfang rolled her eyes so hard they were practically pointing them out to the heavens. A bunch of bootlickers! "Only mothers are good in this world?" What am I doing here?! You guys sing a pineapple song!

So, in order to win favor, Gao Fangfang also started singing!

"There's only one mother in the world!"

However, she has two mothers here. She can't abandon her biological mother for her godmother, can she? Just now, the two of them were sitting together, and Gao Fangfang had her arms around one of her mothers and started singing!

"Damn it, you bootlicker!"

Seeing Gao Fangfang like this, everyone had their own thoughts!

"What do you mean? I haven't hung up yet? Does that mean you're not bringing him back?"

Zhao Mengsheng's voice came through the phone!

"You're so selfish! How can you all be so selfish!"

Zhao Mengsheng couldn't take it anymore and started yelling! Liu Lan hung up the phone immediately. She thought it was too noisy. They were having a happy family time, and he was yelling like that! A high-ranking official, indeed! He was acting like a shrew!

"Godmother, aren't you hurting Godfather's feelings too much? Why don't you take these cigarettes and alcohol back with you?"

Gao Fangfang truly deserves to be her parents' good eldest daughter; she immediately wanted to take Zhao Zhongxin's things back without the slightest hesitation!

"You audacious bastard! Gao Fangfang! Traitor! Rebel! I'll fly up and kick you!"

Zhao Zhongxin started cursing at Gao Fangfang! "You want to do me a favor? Is Zhao Mengsheng even here? You're just going to do it?"

"Alright, alright, you'll be fifty tomorrow, and you're still yelling and cursing. Come on, let me have a drink with you all, don't let the kids drink!"

Liu Lan smiled and raised her glass.

After dinner, Liu Lan found Zhang Wanxin again and gave her another lecture. Gao Fangfang and Zhao Ying couldn't even get a word in edgewise. Zhang Wanxin, who usually bickered with Zhao Zhongxin at home, finally couldn't take it anymore! She thought, "Mother-in-law, please leave! Or you can scold me a few times, I can accept that, but don't put pressure on me!"

In the end, it was Zhao Miao, the eldest son, who came to the rescue.

"Mom, where's my down jacket? Didn't you call me last time and say you bought me one?"

"Yes, yes, Mom, I'll go find some clothes for Xiaomiao first!"

Zhang Wanxin readily agreed and quickly walked out. Actually, Zhao Zhongxin had also wanted to offer some advice, but his mother had scolded him away!

"What are you, a grown man, doing interfering in women's affairs?"

In the end, Zhao Zhongxin sent his son to save the day! When Zhang Wanxin came out and learned that it was her husband who sent their son, she couldn't help but sigh! Her husband still had some conscience; no wonder she had given birth to three children for him!

So she decided to reward Zhao Zhongxin today, opened the wardrobe, and took out the innermost box! It was full of those kinds of things that made people's imaginations run wild!

Zhao Zhongxin was a little confused. "No, you're repaying kindness with enmity! A man over 25 is 50. Zhao Zhongxin is 50 this year, which is 100. Are you taking revenge on me?"

The next day was Zhao Zhongxin's birthday. Zhao Miao begged his grandmother for a long time, and Liu Lan had no choice but to allow the little devil to drink two ounces of alcohol. No more than that!

Zhao Miao is as shrewd as a monkey. She knew her father couldn't make the decision, so she found her grandmother. She really misses the days when she first returned to Beijing and had a few drinks with her grandfather every day, riding horses and raising birds! What a life those were! A life of bliss!

Zhao Miao now has an idea: to climb the ladder, to become a cadre, all for the sake of good wine and cigarettes! Before, Zhao Miao had no life plan; he just listened to his grandfather and did whatever he was told. But now he's found meaning in life. Nobody knows what Zhao Miao is thinking! Otherwise, they'd be speechless! Right? Bro? You've really been changed by tobacco and alcohol! To go into politics for tobacco and alcohol, that's something else!

Zhao Miao said, "These are my true feelings. How could I tell you? He can also say nice things. I entered politics to serve the people!"

However, he couldn't go into politics for the time being, so Zhao Mengsheng decided to let Zhao Miao join the army. After all, they came from a military family. His father had fought all his life, and he had been a soldier for half his life. Although his son had never served in the army, he had received military training from a young age. Zhao Miao was missing a certain process, so they would wait until he graduated from university and served in the army for five years. After that, he could leave the military and, like his father, work in Xiyuan for a few years before moving to a local area!

Therefore, Zhao Miao was destined to enter the steel furnace of the army! He served as a common soldier for five years!

"Comrades, thank you all for coming to my birthday party. I'd like to raise a glass to you all!"

Zhao Zhongxin smiled and raised his glass, and everyone stood up to raise their glasses!

Then the second toast was from Zhao Zhongxin to Liu Lan!

"A son's birthday is a mother's day of suffering! This cup is dedicated to my mother! Without you, there would be no me!"

Thank goodness Zhao Mengsheng isn't here, does that mean I'm unimportant? Am I not human? Answer me! How can you be so selfish? You didn't even mention me once, did you?

Liu Lan was quite touched; her son was so filial! Her son was her pride and joy. Every time she talked about her son with her old friends, Liu Lan's lips would curl into a smile!

Zhao Mengsheng still called, but he didn't ask about the tobacco and alcohol issue today because it was his son's birthday.

Happy birthday!

Zhao Mengsheng said through gritted teeth! Zhao Zhongxin burst into laughter!

"Old Deng, let me toast you. I'll take this as a birthday gift from you and my mom, hehe! Come on! I'll drink it all, you can drink as you like!"

Zhao Zhongxin was still teasing Zhao Mengsheng, who almost switched to the Yuanshi Tianzun account to appear in front of Zhao Zhongxin from a thousand miles away in an instant!

You're telling me to just drink it all and I can do whatever I want? Where would I get the wine to give you? Your mom took it all. How dare you say that!

Zhao Meng was furious and hung up the phone! Then he kept calling him a bastard and a scoundrel.

Zhao Mengsheng retorted, "If you, Zhao Zhongxin, had even a younger brother, and I had even a son, your life wouldn't be so easy! He should have worked harder back then! This little rascal is too arrogant! Too arrogant!"

"Senior! I'm not good with words, but I've already said all the auspicious things to Brother Wei. Happy birthday, I'll do you, do whatever you want!"

Li Kangjian smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Zhao Zhongxin nodded and also downed a glass!"

"Dad, let me toast you too! Happy birthday! I'll drink mine, you can drink as you like!"

Zhao Miao had already drunk two ounces of liquor, finishing the rule his grandmother had given him. He took advantage of the toast to sneak a drink, using all his cunning to his advantage!

"Okay, son, Dad's with you!"

Zhao Zhongxin patted his son. To be honest, Chinese people really have a strong attachment to the eldest son, especially those from large families. Looking at his son, who looked about 80% like him, Zhao Zhongxin couldn't help but feel like he was seeing his younger self!
