Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Peer Teaching

Cheng Su gave Qi Taiguo a sense of vanity, and he felt he gained face. It just so happened that Platoon Leader Lu’s Egg was hosting a celebration for his hundred days upstairs, and Qi Taiguo took Cheng Su with him to attend.

At home, they hosted the banquet. But in this yard where space was limited, everyone managed to make do and eat at home.

Cheng Su had received notice from Li Qiumei early on and hurried home after the noon market ended to join Qiulan in helping to prepare the meal.

The meal was thoroughly enjoyable for both guests and hosts, and Qi Taiguo was even more satisfied with Cheng Su’s performance on the spot. She was generous and proper, drank boldly, and faced the teasing of comrades without a hint of pettiness, which earned her his newfound respect.

After eating, Qi Taiguo escorted a well-connected Commander Zhou down the stairs, and the two stood in the courtyard to air out the alcohol.

Commander Zhou took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, offered one to him, stuck another in his own mouth, lit them both, and exhaled a ring of smoke.

"Taiguo, when you first arrived, you were just a green boy, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. You’ve climbed up quickly, almost catching up to me," Old Zhou leaned against the wall and said to Qi Taiguo.

Qi Taiguo took a puff and said, "Commander Zhou, aren’t you just ribbing me? There’s so much I still have to learn from you."

"At my age, I’m just coasting along. I guess I’m going to stay at this level," Commander Zhou said, exhaling deeply.

"Look at you talk," Qi Taiguo laughed. "Aren’t you on the list for promotion to deputy battalion commander? In a few days, when the orders come down, I’ll probably have to address you as Battalion Commander Zhou."

Commander Zhou’s face brightened a bit after hearing this, "Besides me, Old Xu and Tong Jun are on the list too."

Upon mentioning Tong Jun, Qi Taiguo’s expression subtly changed.
