I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

He turned to Natasha and asked, "Natasha, would you like to eat some food from your hometown?"

Natasha's eyes lit up: "Great! Great!"

He Yuzhu quickly reminded him, "Uncle, you might not know, but ordinary people can't get into Lao Mo's place; you need a special ticket."

Zhou Weiguo pulled out a thick stack of receipts from his spatial storage: "Is this what you're talking about? Have you forgotten who Natasha is? Director Wang gave her quite a bit."

Zhou Weiguo parked the car on the side of the road and led the group toward Lao Mo. Just as they reached the door, they saw a familiar figure: Lou Xiao'e awkwardly rummaging through her small bag.

Zhou Weiguo stepped forward and greeted her with a smile, "Comrade Lou Xiao'e, what are you doing?"

Lou Xiao'e heard the voice, looked up and saw Zhou Weiguo. Her face instantly showed a look of surprise and shyness. She was filled with annoyance. Why did she have to meet him at such an awkward time?

Zhou Weiguo asked with concern, "Comrade Lou Xiao'e, what's wrong?"

Lou Xiao'e's eyes reddened, and she said aggrievedly, "I lost the meal ticket my dad gave me, and the doorman wouldn't let me in without it."

Zhou Weiguo suddenly realized what was going on, smiled, took out a stack of tickets from his pocket, handed them to the doorman, and said in fluent Russian, "I'll pay for this lady's meal. Let her sit at our table. Take as many as she needs."

The doorman respectfully ushered them inside. Natasha smiled and pulled Lou Xiao'e aside: "Come on, Weiguo said he'll treat you to dinner."

After saying that, he pulled Lou Xiao'e, who was still in a daze, into the restaurant.

The group was led to their seats by the staff. A server approached and asked, "Sir, would you like your meal served directly according to your meal ticket?"

Zhou Weiguo nodded. The waiter handed him seven meal tickets, then returned the rest, saying, "Sir, your meal ticket is the highest tier, including borscht, beef stew, creamy mixed vegetables, Moscow salad, a rye bread basket, and today's dessert, Salomon chocolate balls. Shall we prepare your meal now?"

Zhou Weiguo nodded again, glancing at Lou Xiao'e who kept secretly watching him. He really wanted to say, "What are you looking at?"

He Yuzhu and the others looked around excitedly. Fortunately, it wasn't lunchtime yet, and there weren't many people in the restaurant, so they didn't have to worry about disturbing others.

Aside from He Yuzhu causing some funny incidents during the meal, everything went smoothly.

He showed off in front of Yu Li and the others that he had been using knives for more than ten years and that he was good with knives and forks. As a result, he made the knives and forks clang and clatter.

He would taste each dish served, then offer his strange comments, even boasting that the goose dish had no flavor and that he would show off his skills another day.

Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "Since that's the case, let's not reschedule. After dinner, let's go back to my yard to rest. Tonight, I'll have Zhuzi show off his skills and give everyone a good time."

He Yuzhu patted his chest and assured him there would be no problem.

After everyone finished eating and prepared to leave, Natasha left a tip on the table before leaving.

As they stepped out the door and prepared to board the bus, Lou Xiao'e stood pitifully at the back, like an abandoned kitten.

Natasha grinned mischievously at Zhou Weiguo: "Weiguo, are you just going to abandon Miss Lou like this?"

Zhou Weiguo said helplessly, "What can I do? There's no room left on this bus."

Lou Xiao'e quickly said, "Brother Zhou, I drove here; the driver is over there."

Zhou Weiguo asked in confusion, "Then what are you standing here for?"

Natasha rolled her eyes at Zhou Weiguo and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Miss Lou, we're planning to go back to Weiguo's house for a visit. Would you like to come along?"

Lou Xiao'e's eyes were full of anticipation: "Is it possible? Can I go too?"

Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? Let's go!"

The girls had already become acquainted during the meal, and Yu Haitang and He Yushui even insisted on riding in Lou Xiao'e's car.

The two cars drove one after the other towards the east courtyard.

When the vehicle reached the entrance of the east courtyard, Zhou Weiguo saw a car parked across the front of his courtyard, completely blocking the gate.

He parked his car on the side of the road and walked quickly forward.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, the car window slowly rolled down, and Old Qin sat inside with a smile.

Zhou Weiguo was both surprised and delighted. He quickly greeted him warmly, then opened the courtyard gate and signaled Qin Lao's driver to drive the car into the yard.

Immediately afterwards, he told Lou Xiao'e's driver to follow and park the car in the yard.

Fortunately, the yard is spacious enough to accommodate three or four cars.

After getting out of the car and closing the gate, Zhou Weiguo jogged over to Old Qin's car and opened the door.

With a delighted expression, he asked, "Mr. Qin, what brings you here today?"

Old Qin replied with a smile, "Today we're not just looking for you, we're also looking for Comrade Natasha."

Natasha, who had just gotten out of the car, was taken aback by his words and asked with a face full of curiosity, "Mr. Qin, what brings you here?"

Old Qin looked at Natasha with a solemn expression and even bent down to bow in gratitude.

This action startled Zhou Weiguo, who quickly stepped forward to help Old Qin up, his tone reproachful: "Old Qin, what are you doing!"

Old Qin looked at Natasha with emotion and unwavering gaze: "Comrade Natasha, as a soldier and as a citizen of Xia, I sincerely thank you for your contributions!"

Zhou Weiguo quickly interrupted, "Old Qin, this is really unacceptable!"

Old Qin feigned anger: "Get out of here, you brat! The goose expert has helped us so much, what's wrong with me bowing and saying thank you? What business is it of yours? Get out of here!"

Zhou Weiguo still insisted on stopping him: "Elder Qin, this is really not right! How can an elder bow to a junior? You're shortening our lifespan!"

"Um?"

Old Qin looked back and forth between the two men with a suspicious expression.

He watched until Zhou Weiguo and Natasha blushed, then he burst into laughter: "Alright, alright, then we won't shorten your lives! You're both highly skilled professionals, you must take good care of yourselves!"

At this moment, Zhou Weiguo noticed that Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li were looking at Qin Lao with shocked expressions.

Old Qin smiled and apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry, children, I've kept you from playing. I need to talk to them about something, and then I'll leave."

It seemed that Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e recognized Old Qin, while He Yuzhu and the two children just responded with a few laughs.

Zhou Weiguo welcomed Qin Lao and his guard into the living room, only then noticing that the guard was carrying two rolls and a large box.

He chuckled and joked, "Mr. Qin, you've come to visit a junior like me and even brought a gift! You're too kind!"

Old Qin asked with a smile, "Then I'll take it? You'd better not regret it."

Zhou Weiguo quickly waved his hand: "No, no, you're joking."

Old Qin signaled to the guards to open the smaller roller.

When the paper was slowly spread out on the table, Zhou Weiguo was stunned when he saw the signature at the end.

He instinctively pinched his thigh, cried out in pain, and then rushed to the table.

Seeing the four large characters "Overcoming all obstacles" and the signature of "Big Boss" in the corner, I was so excited I almost jumped up.
