The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

The dishes on the table were steaming, but it couldn't stop the smiles on everyone's faces. The sounds of clinking glasses and chatting and laughing mixed together, making the place lively and peaceful.

Qu Datong felt unhappy. He raised his glass, tilted his head back, and gulped down the liquor.

Li Changpu noticed that Qu Datong was drinking alone and was silent, not knowing what to say.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone was having a great time, but Qu Datong suddenly felt that it was boring. He put his wine glass on the table, picked up a few dishes with his chopsticks, and suddenly made a "tsk" sound.

Li Changpu heard it and asked him, "Old Qu, what's wrong with you? You're sighing so much."

Qu Datong picked up a glass of wine and took a sip, then picked up a piece of sauerkraut with chopsticks, with emotion in his eyes.

“This pickled cabbage tastes just like the one at home.”

He shook his head, "I've been out there for so many years, I can't eat."

After hearing this, Li Changpu's eyes became a little lonely and his face showed a bit of reluctance.

He knew that Qu Datong had been an orphan and had grown up wandering. For him, there was only one place he could call home, and that was the family where he had been married before.

He asked, "Do you think of your sister-in-law?"

Qu Datong smiled, with bitterness in his smile.

He came to visit today. His old friend got married and moved into a new house. The food on the table was steaming hot and the whole family was bustling with activity, just like a home.

As he sat here, he thought of his wife who died early.

Qu Datong drank another glass of wine, and the man who had been careless just now started to talk a lot.

"She's been gone for so many years. To be honest, I'm confused about what she looked like. But sometimes, I don't know why, but I suddenly think of her."

Qu Datong picked up the wine glass and took a sip. His face turned red from the spiciness. He held his chest and pounded it twice, as if this would make him feel better.

He said: “I feel really bad.”

The people around were in a mess and no one paid attention to this side. Jiang Tingxia saw that Qu Datong was dark and strong. His face was red and his eyes were red from drinking. A few sparkling tears fell from his eyes.

Li Changpu moved sideways to shield him so that no one could see his appearance.

Qu Datong said the words that were stuck in his heart.

"This old woman," Qu Datong cursed, but after saying this, he fell silent, wiped his face with his big hand, and said, "She didn't live to see this day."

"When times got better, she and her child left."

Hearing these heartbreaking words, Li Changpu felt a sinking feeling in his heart and didn't know what to say. For a long while, he could only pat Qu Datong on the shoulder.

"Brother, we have to move on. Sister-in-law doesn't want to see you like this."

Jiang Tingxia was shocked when he heard this.

She saw Qu Datong laughing heartily, being arm in arm with his comrades, and being talkative and cheerful. She never expected that this man had such a misfortune behind him. His children and wife were all gone.

Looking at Qu Datong covering his face, Jiang Tingxia, as a bystander, felt uncomfortable.

Qu Datong had something on his mind, and he drank quickly and violently. After a while, he was lying on the table, unaware of his head hitting the dishes and chopsticks. He was humming softly, and it was unclear whether he was drunk or using the alcohol to vent his inner emotions.

Jiang Tingxia looked at him worriedly, and Li Changpu shook his head at her and let Qu Datong lie there.

Someone saw Qu Datong lying on the table, pointing at him and laughing.

"Lao Qu, you are drunk."

Qu Datong raised one hand without raising his head, and his voice was shaking, like laughing and crying.

"Drunk, I'm drunk."

Only Jiang Tingxia and Li Changpu on the side looked at each other with expressions of pity.

The guests ate and drank well and then slowly left. Jiang Tingxia and Li Changpu came back from seeing the guests off and saw Qu Datong still lying on the table. He made some humming sounds as if he was singing an opera.

Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu, and Li Changpu just said, "Let him stay like this for a while."

"He felt bad."

Jiang Tingxia and Li Changpu left the room and asked him, "What's going on?"

"I just heard you say that Brother Qu's lover and child are gone."

Li Changpu exhaled and nodded.

"My sister-in-law died."

He added, "I was pregnant when I left."

Jiang Tingxia was shocked and regretful, "How could this happen?"

"You mean, the child is still in the mother's belly and hasn't been born yet."

She looked towards the house and heard a man groaning from inside. He tried hard to suppress his emotions but it made her feel sad for no reason.

"Brother Qu is so pitiful."

Li Changpu talked about those things.

"I heard from my eldest brother before that he was married to a female soldier. The organization introduced them to each other and they got together. Later, their unit was transferred to a machinery production factory to be responsible for security work."

"Not only was the fighting tense on the front lines, but the rear was also tense, with spies infiltrating. His wife saw them while on duty at night."

"Died heroically."

"My eldest brother said that when he and his wife first learned about the pregnancy, they were looking forward to the birth of the child, but they didn't expect..."

Li Changpu couldn't bear to continue.

"My eldest brother is a pitiful man. He lost his parents when he was young. He got married in his twenties and had a family. He had someone who cared about him. Now he lost his wife and son just as his child was about to be born."

"Not to mention that the mother and son passed away so suddenly and tragically."

“This is a huge blow to him.”

"For so many years, he has been alone, living like an ascetic. When asked to solve his personal problems, he would make excuses."

"He just couldn't get over it."

As a brother, he hopes that Qu Datong can cheer up, live a good life, and not be trapped in the pain of the past, which will only make him more painful the more he thinks about it, and it will be harder to get out of it.

But Qu Datong also has a stubborn temper. The old leader specifically called his name to go to the dance party tonight, and even though he was almost angry with him, he still refused to go and refused to take a single step out.

The singing in the room stopped and Qu Datong came out staggeringly, looking dazed.

Qu Datong still looked like a bandit, smiling carelessly, "Brother, my brother is gone."

Li Changpu tried to stop him, "You are so drunk, why are you leaving?"

Qu Datong insisted on going out, but Li Changpu said he was drunk and he was still reluctant to go.

"I'm not drunk. I can't drink much. How can I get drunk after drinking this?"

Qu Datong was a little tongue-tied and kept pushing Li Changpu back.

"Don't send me off, don't send me off."

Seeing that he was determined to leave, Li Changpu called someone, "Xiao Li, send Captain Qu back to rest."

Qu Datong had already untied the reins and patted his big horse, "No need, this is all I need, it can take me back."

I don't ride horses anymore, so I felt a little curious when I suddenly saw this thing. However, Qu Datong used to be in a cavalry company, so he had a different feeling for it and always took his beloved horse with him wherever he went.

Li Changpu patted the horse's back. Qu Datong was a man who stuck to his old ways and was very stubborn.

After Qu Datong finished speaking, he jumped onto the horse neatly and said, "This is a good horse. It knows the way."

Jiang Tingxia stood aside and looked at the majestic warhorse. It was the first time she saw it. At this time, Qu Datong threw down the whip.

"Stone, go."

Jiang Tingxia's expression froze, and he looked at Li Changpu with inquiry in his eyes.

She remembered that Qu Datong called him Li Shitou, and Qu Datong's horse was also called Shitou.

This is probably not a coincidence.

Li Changpu looked at her like this and raised his eyebrows, "I also have a horse."

He said, "Call Heizi."

Two grown men named their horses after each other to insult each other.

Jiang Tingxia thought about it and laughed, "Childish."

Li Changpu refused to admit defeat and said, "He started it first."

When Qu Datong first came, they sat together and talked. Jiang Tingxia followed and overheard. He heard that they were fighting over this and that, and often they would fight when they met.

She was too embarrassed to interrupt because there were so many people around. Now that there was no one else around, Jiang Tingxia asked curiously, "I heard that you two didn't get along in the past?"

Li Changpu snorted and also laughed, "Not only do we not get along, we can be said to be mortal enemies."
