People entered the restaurant one after another. Xu Cheng wasn't in a hurry to go over, and he went to the washroom first.
Elder Ye, Elder Zhou, Elder Xing, Elder Nie, and Elder Guo all sat down and started laughing boastfully.
Out of the five, Elder Ye was the oldest, and he was also the best at bragging.
It was rare for Elder Zhou to see Elder Ye come out today, so he teased him, "Brother Ye, if you still didn't come out, we would have thought you died at home."
"You are hoping for me to die, right?" Elder Ye cursed. "Let me tell you, I came out today just to tell you guys that I'm still alive, hahaha."
The other four elders also laughed out loud. They were very happy that Elder Ye could come out today. In fact, among the five of them, Elder Ye's health was the worst. Only the five of them were left of his good friends who had fought with him and killed the Japanese together. Therefore, losing even one of them was a sad thing. Every day, seeing that Elder Ye did not come out for a gathering to recuperate, the four of them were especially worried about his health.
Elder Nie first said to the owner of the restaurant, "Bring me a few of your best home-cooked dishes, the most authentic ones. And good wine, don't bring the red wine up for me to smash, bring the white wine, the most authentic Erguotou or something specially supplied. "
The person in charge hurriedly said with a smile, "Alright, please wait for a moment. Tonight, our best chef will bring you a few authentic dishes."
When Xu Cheng came out of the washroom, he coincidentally saw that all five elders brought a third family member, and they were really enemies.
Xu Cheng had an impression of two of them. That's right, they were the military kids that the two clubs wanted to merge! Elder Zhou and the others.
After Elder Nie ordered the dishes, he teased Elder Ye, "Among us, you are the best at bragging right now. Don't die so early, come out more often. Gatherings without you are really boring."
"Yeah, Brother Ye, don't hide at home all the time." The other three elders also cherished their time together and were worried that they wouldn't be able to get together for long.
Elder Ye, on the other hand, agreed with Elder Nie's words and immediately said to Xu Cheng behind him, "Did you hear that? You're the only one who dislikes me for bragging all day long. Look at how tasteful the four of them are! "
Xu Cheng directly grinned and scolded, "Of course, I'm just like you, we're all people who like to brag and have spent decades holding hands. How can we sit here if we're not from the same world?"
The five old men immediately laughed out loud.
Elder Zhou looked at Xu Cheng and asked with a smile, "Big Brother Ye, is this the young man you've been talking about lately?"
The other three elders also carefully sized up Xu Cheng.
"Leaders, you can look, but can you not look at me like you're looking at a brothel? I'm not used to it. " Xu Cheng was speechless. These five old guys had really sharp eyes, and it felt like they could see right through you.
Even Madam Mulberry would feel shy from being stared at like that.
The four old men were stunned for a moment, then they laughed angrily.
At this moment, Elder Ye solemnly pulled Xu Cheng over and said, "Come, come, let me introduce him to everyone. This is the topic I pulled out today. Don't say that I always brag about Old Huang, today, I'll let him brag for us."
"Have a seat, we'll call you Little Cheng from now on. You don't mind, right?" The elders laughed and said.
Xu Cheng nodded. "Of course, I'll call you whatever makes me comfortable."
The old men laughed again. "That suits our temperament."
As soon as Xu Cheng sat down, Elder Zhou and the others immediately became unhappy. They all stared at Xu Cheng with their eyes wide open and said, "Xu Cheng, we told you to sit, and you really want to sit? Don't you have any shame? "
"Yeah, do you have the right to sit?" Elder Guo's grandson, Guo Rong, also chimed in.
At this moment, Xu Cheng didn't know whether to sit or stand. He awkwardly looked at the elders and asked, "How about I move the chair away and pretend to sit?"
The five elders immediately burst into laughter again.
After Elder Zhou finished laughing, he turned to look at his grandson and said, "Little Ming, Grandpa is telling you, in our circle, we rely on our ability to brag, and you can't just brag about it casually. You have to have done something for real before you can brag about it."
Zhou Xiaoming nodded and said, "I know, Grandpa. That's why I'm asking why this Xu Cheng is sitting here. He's about the same age as us, and his character is really not that great. Grandpa, last time I was sent to the hospital because of him. You don't know that I have nowhere to vent my anger."
Xu Cheng simply poured two glasses of white wine, and then he stood up and handed them to Zhou Xiaoming and Elder Guo's grandson, saying, "No discord, no concord. Let's take this as me not being able to hold back and toast to you two, how about it?"
Elder Guo's grandson and Zhou Xiaoming directly snorted. If it was Ye Xiu, they might have given him some face, but Xu Cheng, who had no background, wanted to curry favor with them in this situation? It was simply wishful thinking.
"Is this considered an apology?" Zhou Xiaoming said in disdain.
"Not really!" Xu Cheng directly said something that stunned everyone present, "Let's follow the rules. You two can't win, so don't give me that crap. The reason I'm toasting you two is because I don't want to spoil the mood of the elders. I didn't say I was going to apologize."
The five elders directly slammed the table and laughed. They all pointed at Xu Cheng and said, "Oh my, you little brat, you're really interesting."
At this moment, Elder Zhou finally said to Zhou Xiaoming in a commanding tone, "Take the wine!"
"Grandpa!" Zhou Xiaoming looked at Elder Zhou in disbelief, and the latter's intimidating gaze forced him to immediately reach out to take Xu Cheng's glass.
Elder Guo's grandson was no exception, and he also unwillingly went over to take the glass.
Elder Zhou sternly added, "Take it with both hands!"
The two paused for a second, and then they didn't dare to mess around anymore. They obediently took Xu Cheng's glass with both hands. Only then did Xu Cheng pick up his own glass and toast to the two. "Let's drink to forget our grudges."
Then, he downed his glass first, and Zhou Xiaoming and Guo Rong both downed their glasses, wiped their glasses, and glanced at Xu Cheng with dissatisfaction.
Zhou Xiaoming directly said, "Come on, we didn't lose last time. Let's go another few hundred rounds, and the loser will call the other 'Grandpa'."
"If you two can really go a few hundred rounds with me, then I'll be more than happy to play with you two. But if you two really call me 'Grandpa', then at such a young age, I'm going to be on the same level as these five elders. Not good, I'm still a little fresh meat."
Elder Xing: "Is it an insult to you to be on the same level as us?"
"Nope." Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. "You guys are too good at bragging, and I'm a bit thin-skinned."
"Hahahaha." The five elders laughed again.
