Walking to the coffee shop, Han Xiaosheng looked at the time and it was almost 6:30.
In a private room in the coffee shop, there were five people sitting around a large square table, two middle-aged couples and a tall and handsome young man. The five of them were drinking coffee and chatting with each other. They looked a lot like each other. People are a little absent-minded.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and several people cheered up. The tall young man stood up and said:
"Please come in!"
There were three people, Han Xiaosheng and Han Xiaosheng standing outside the door. When Han Xiaosheng heard the voice inside the door, he felt familiar inexplicably. Without thinking much, he opened the door and walked in.
Seeing a strange man come in, the five people in the room were a little strange. They didn't react until they saw Qiao Weiwei and Li Ziyu behind Han Xiaosheng.
Han Xiaosheng took the initiative to raise his hand and greeted:
"Hello uncles and aunties, hello this brother!"
After saying hello, no one responded. Everyone looked at Qiao Weiwei behind them. Han Xiaosheng was a little embarrassed and turned back to look at Qiao Weiwei.
Qiao Weiwei showed a sweet smile and shouted to a middle-aged couple:
"Dad! Mom!"
Qiao Weiwei turned to another middle-aged couple and shouted:
"Uncle Niu! Aunt Jia!"
Qiao Weiwei's mother is young, probably less than 50 years old. She currently looks like she is in her 40s. She has a beautiful appearance and a well-maintained figure. She looks beautiful and charming. She has a special temperament on her face. Han Xiaosheng can't tell the difference. What does it feel like to come out.
Qiao Weiwei's father is a serious-looking middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, regular facial features, and a straight back. He must have been a soldier.
Uncle Niu is slightly chubby and has a faint smile on his face. He is a handsome middle-aged man who looks very easy-going.
Aunt Jia is a beautiful middle-aged woman with a slim figure. When she saw Qiao Weiwei, she had a happy smile on her face.
Qiao Weiwei did not say hello to the handsome young man, but took Han Xiaosheng's arm and introduced to the people in the room:
"This is Han Xiaosheng, my current boyfriend."
"Xiaosheng, this is my father Qiao Dahai, and this is my mother Liu Yuhan. The other two are my uncles and aunts who are very good to me, Sun Daniu and Zhang Jiaqi."
Qiao Weiwei turned around, pulled Li Ziyu and said:
"Everyone knows this person, Li Ziyu, no need for me to introduce him."
Li Ziyu became very ladylike at this time and greeted several people in the room. Seeing the handsome young man standing there a little embarrassed, she also said hello.
Hearing Li Ziyu greet the young man, Han Xiaosheng knew that this handsome and tall young man was named Sun Guoqiang. He was the man who took advantage of the female student after the collision in the hotel. However, Sun Guoqiang was in a hurry to go out at that time and did not notice it. The existence of Qiao Weiwei and Li Ziyu.
At this time, Qiao Weiwei's father smiled slightly and asked Han Xiaosheng to sit down, regardless of the obstruction of his wife next to him.
Qiao Weiwei pulled Han Xiaosheng over and sat on one side of the table. Li Ziyu also sat next to Han Xiaosheng.
Seeing Qiao Weiwei ignoring Sun Guoqiang, her mother had no choice but to speak:
"Weiwei, this is your brother Guoqiang, your favorite brother Guoqiang in the past. Why don't you say hello?"
Qiao Weiwei looked like she had just seen Sun Guoqiang and suddenly said:
"It turns out it's you. Why do you look so similar? Don't you yearn for the freedom of the United States? Why did you come back to China?"
Seeing Qiao Weiwei's sinister look, Han Xiaosheng knew there was a story.
Looking at the others, Sun Daniu and his wife were a little embarrassed. Qiao Dahai looked on indifferently and indifferently. Qiao Weiwei's mother opened her mouth to persuade:
"Weiwei, you can't look at people with old eyes. If someone is strong enough to return home, it means he has not forgotten his hometown. You can't beat him to death with a stick. You have to give him a chance to look back."
Qiao Weiwei shook her head and said to her mother:
"Mom, whether he comes back or not has nothing to do with me. I'm not qualified to blame him. Besides, I'm living a good life now. I have someone I like. Let the past be bygones."
Qiao Weiwei picked up a cup of tea, smiled slightly, and said to Sun Guoqiang:
"Sun Guoqiang, no matter what you think now, the past is the past, you are welcome to come back!"
The two clinked their tea cups, and the atmosphere in the box relaxed.
Sun Guoqiang called the waiter and everyone started ordering.
After ordering, everyone started chatting, but they were obviously divided into two circles.
After Qiao Weiwei finished ordering, she turned to chat with Han Xiaosheng and Li Ziyu, ignoring the others.
However, Qiao Weiwei's mother was very enthusiastic. She brought the topic to Qiao Weiwei's personal matters several times, but Qiao Weiwei blocked her with Han Xiaosheng.
Qiao Weiwei's father looked thoughtfully at the close relationship between Qiao Weiwei and Han Xiaosheng.
Seeing Qiao Weiwei's performance, Sun Guoqiang's parents were a little helpless and could only bring up the topic to chat with Qiao's father and Qiao's mother to avoid everyone's embarrassment.
Sun Guoqiang behaved politely and chatted with his elders, but when Han Xiaosheng saw the occasional gloominess on Sun Guoqiang's face, he knew that this man was just a little deep in the city, and his heart was not so peaceful.
Food is served quickly in this cafe, and the square tables are quickly filled with dishes.
Qiao Dahai and Sun Daniu opened a bottle of Maotai, started drinking, and had a lively chat.
Han Xiaosheng was hungry. After drinking a glass of wine with him, he saw several elders already using their chopsticks and started eating.
He was not polite and stood up to pick up food that was out of reach.
Seeing Han Xiaosheng eating so arrogantly, Qiao Weiwei's mother saw it as a lack of etiquette and lack of class, and she felt a little unhappy.
Putting down her chopsticks, Mother Qiao asked Han Xiaosheng in as gentle a tone as possible:
"Xiaosheng, where is your home? What do you usually do?"
Han Xiaosheng replied:
"Aunt Zhang, my family is from Longjiang. I used to work in Lin'an City. Now I am staying at home. I haven't decided what to do next."
Seeing Qiao Weiwei eager to speak, Mother Qiao said first:
"Xiao Sheng, our Weiwei has been spoiled since she was a child and spends money lavishly. If you don't have a good job, I'm afraid we won't be able to get together. When the time comes, you'll feel bad when she spends money randomly. If you can't meet her expenses, , conflicts break out, and you won’t be able to bear it.”
Qiao Weiwei was a little unhappy:
"Mom, I'm not looking for a partner just to have money to spend. I have my own job, I can make my own money, and I can support myself. Besides, if it's for money, I can just find a rich man."
Mother Qiao sighed:
"Silly boy, if we become a family in the future, money will not be divided between you and me. When you are in love, you can ignore it, but your life is just daily necessities. When the money is not enough, the two of you will only quarrel."
"Mom, why do you want to go so far? Besides, Xiaosheng is not a person who is short of money."
When Mother Qiao saw her daughter unable to speak, she pointed the finger at Han Xiaosheng again.
"Xiaosheng, what do your parents do? Who else is there in the family?"
Han Xiaosheng was a little helpless and started to check the household registration. But who knew he had such thoughts about Qiao Weiwei, so he had to answer honestly:
"Aunt Zhang, my parents are farmers."
"I also have a sister and a brother. The sister teaches in Star City and the brother teaches in Chang'an City in the west."
After hearing what he said, Mother Qiao felt a little unsure. She felt that Han Xiaosheng was not a good match for her daughter, so she said:
"Xiaosheng, farming is good, life is unconstrained and very free.
However, when talking about a partner, you must pay attention to equality. When people from different backgrounds talk about a partner, tragedies can easily occur.
Two people have different living environments, different educational backgrounds, and different social groups, which may lead to differences in their outlook on life, attitude towards life, and how to deal with others. The conflict of opinions is the most fatal. This is how many life-and-death lovers and couples in need have different paths. direction.
I hope you'll give it some thought. "
Han Xiaosheng felt a little unhappy. This meant that the two of them were not a good match and would not be able to get together in the future.
In fact, Han Xiaosheng also agrees that in a love that is not a perfect match, not many men and women can make it to the end, but they will not be happy if things happen to them. This is looking down on others, and they are not the ones who are on the pole. .
But he was embarrassed to say this, for fear of hurting Qiao Weiwei's heart.
After thinking for a while, Han Xiaosheng decided that the twenty-four strategies were the best.
Just as he was about to find a way to leave, the box door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in, holding a wine glass in his hand, and greeted Father Qiao cheerfully.
"Old Qiao, I heard that you and your friends are eating here. I'll come over and offer you a drink."
Qiao Dahai and Sun Daniu stood up quickly, Qiao Dahai introduced:
"Old Liu, this is my friend Sun Daniu, Daniu, this is Section Chief Su from the traffic control department!"
The three of them had a drink, and Qiao Dahai asked:
"Lao Su, why are you here for dinner today? I remember you like Hunan cuisine restaurants."
Chief Su said cheerfully:
"Today, our Director Fang got the benefit of treating us subordinates to dinner. It's right next door. Do you want to join us for a toast?"
Qiao Dahai suddenly became interested.
"Of course I want to go, Lao Niu, let's go together."
The three of them were about to leave when Mother Qiao rolled her eyes and said:
"Since the leader is next door, we should also toast together, don't you think so, Lao Qiao?"
Qiao Dahai was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was indeed the right thing to do, so he asked everyone to go there.
Han Xiaosheng didn't want to act too unique. He was here to help today, so he followed him out with the wine glass.
Pushing open the door of the box next door, a wave of sound rushed in. It was obvious that the atmosphere in the box was extremely warm.
There was a huge turntable-style dining table in the private room. There were at least twenty people sitting around the table. Sitting on the main seat opposite was a middle-aged man with a fat body and a square face. He sat upright and looked a bit like a soldier.
Seeing Section Chief Su leading a group of people in, everyone at the table turned their heads and looked over.
Qiao Dahai led a group of people to the round table, raised his glass and opened a toast.
"Director Fang, colleagues from the traffic control department, I am Qiao Dahai from the education department. I heard from Section Chief Su that Director Fang and everyone are eating here, come over and make a toast!"
Just as he was about to continue speaking, even the middle-aged man on the main seat stood up and walked out holding a wine glass.
Qiao Dahai said quickly:
"I don't want to bother Director Fang, just sit down."
Seeing Director Fang stand up, the faces of the people around the round table changed. They guessed the reason and quickly raised their glasses and stood up, wanting to have a drink together.
Director Fang walked up to Qiao Dahai and nodded to him.
Qiao Dahai was a little flattered. Just as he was about to clink glasses, Director Fang turned to the back of the crowd, surprising the people around him.
Han Xiaosheng was talking to Qiao Weiwei, expressing his intention to leave as soon as possible, but he felt a gaze falling on him.
Looking up, Director Fang had separated the people in front of him, came in front of him, and raised his wine glass to him.
He was a little dazed and raised his glass reflexively. Director Fang clinked his glass with him and said with a kind expression:
"Xiao Sheng, I didn't expect such a coincidence. We just met yesterday, and today we bump into each other here. Thank you for your kindness yesterday!"
Han Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized what he was doing.
"Director Fang, I'm sorry, I didn't look carefully just now, and I didn't recognize you."
In fact, he had no impression of the director. After all, there were too many people in the conference room yesterday. But according to what the other party said, this person should have attended the meeting yesterday and received his membership card.
After the two clinked glasses, Han Xiaosheng drank it in one gulp, and the other director said:
"Director Fang, I did it, you can do whatever you want!"
Unexpectedly, Director Fang drank it all in one gulp and replied.
"Xiaosheng, you're welcome. We will have many more opportunities to interact in the future. If you have time, go to our department and see if there are any opportunities for cooperation."
"Okay, I will definitely go another day."
The two toasted again, and Director Fang walked back to the main seat.
Everyone around was a little confused.
Except for Han Xiaosheng, everyone else looked at him with incredulous eyes.
Just as Han Xiaosheng was about to go out, he was grabbed by those at the round table and toasted in turn. Fortunately, his physique had greatly improved, so he could still hold on.
Seeing Han Xiaosheng being drunk, Director Fang watched happily and chatted with Qiao Dahai and Section Chief Su from time to time. He was obviously in a good mood.
By the time he returned to his original box, Han Xiaosheng was already feeling a little uncomfortable. After all, he wasn't full yet.
So, he started to eat food and drink water, but he didn't care about running away.
Qiao Dahai and Sun Daniu were eating and chatting together. They glanced at Han Xiaosheng from time to time. Mother Qiao had no intention of telling Han Xiaosheng to stay away from Qiao Weiwei.
Qiao Weiwei knew that the blind date had failed, so she ate happily.
While Li Ziyu was talking to Qiao Weiwei, he looked at Han Xiaosheng with strange eyes.
As for Sun Guoqiang, his face was gloomy, he didn't even raise his head, and he was eating sullenly, and no one paid any attention to him.
Han Xiaosheng felt full, and the drunkenness was much less intense. He looked at Qiao Weiwei, made eye contact, blinked, and said:
"Weiwei, didn't you say that your uncle and aunt are treating you to dinner today to welcome your aunt's son back to China? I see that many people have met and the food has been eaten at the reception banquet. I slept a little late last night. I’m a little sleepy, I’m afraid I have to leave first.”
After saying that, Han Xiaosheng stood up, and Qiao Weiwei and Li Ziyu also stood up.
Han Xiaosheng said to Qiao Weiwei’s parents and Sun Guoqiang’s parents:
"Two uncles and two aunties, thank you for your hospitality. I will take my leave now and you can sit down for a while."
After saying this and nodding their greetings, the three of them walked out the door, leaving the remaining five people in the room stunned.
Mother Qiao wanted to call her daughter, but Father Qiao stopped her. Father Qiao said:
"Let's stop here today and let the children decide for themselves. It depends on their fate. If we force it, we will have a rebellious mentality."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Sun Daniu and his wife and said a little embarrassedly:
"Old Sun, I'm sorry for today. The girl has no control over her father. We have tried our best. The key is to see the child's own fate."
Sun Daniu smiled cheerfully and said:
"Old Qiao, our two families have been friends for so many years, so there is no need to be so polite."
"Besides, this brat brought this thing on himself. Back then, he couldn't even be brought back. He worshiped foreigners and insisted on going abroad. I even started beating people. That girl also stopped him, but she blocked him. If you can’t stop him, who’s to blame? It’s your own fault.”
"Old Sun, no matter what, my daughter didn't give me face today. I'll treat you to a drink some other time."
"Okay, it's settled."
The two fathers were open-minded, but the two mothers were still a little reluctant. They exchanged looks and planned to find time to discuss countermeasures.
Sun Guoqiang drank tea with his head lowered, his eyes showing ferocity and cruelty, but no one saw it.
