A week later.
Wuzhong Road, Huidexuan.
On the wall facing the door of the private room is an ink painting with Huizhou characteristics. The dining table and chairs are also antique. The chandelier is also professionally designed. There is a circle of milky white column lights on the outside, surrounding the large lantern in the middle. .
More importantly, the private room is large enough, with tables and chairs for eating, and a balcony for drinking tea and watching the scenery. The purple clay tea set and pink flower arrangements look pleasing to the eye.
"Oh, the environment is nice."
Gao Chang walked into the private room, took a look at the environment, and a surprised smile appeared on his face. He thought that Gu Shihai was the host, so he must be saving and saving, and searching again and again. It is not that kind of roadside shop, and the Fly Restaurant is good. , to talk about a decent restaurant, there are only two times when I count on my fingers, once when Gu Xin was admitted to a key university, and once when Gu Xin and Ge Yue got engaged.
As for the choice of Portman when getting married, it was all the Ge family's idea.
"Hey, this private room is quite spacious."
Gu Silian helped the old lady walk in from outside, and was quite surprised by the configuration of the private room.
"Mom, Shilian, you are here."
Su Wangdi and Gu Shihai, who were standing on the balcony looking out at the scenery, heard the sound coming from the door and hurried forward to greet them.
Gao Chang said: "Brother, sister-in-law, isn't it cheap to have a meal here? It's just that the road is a bit far."
Gu Shihai asked the old lady to sit down at the main seat in front of the door: "It's been a long time since our family got together. Let's go out and have a meal."
Gao Chang said with a half-smile, "It cost me a lot, brother."
"I'm the boss, as I should be."
Gu Shihai looked a little uncomfortable looking at the smile on his face.
Why did you choose a hotel so far away from where you live? Because it had just opened and there was an event. When Su Wangdi went out to hand out flyers, she picked up a 20% off coupon from Huidexuan and paired it with the opening package. It's great to be able to get a 50% discount and eat a thousand yuan for two thousand yuan, which saves money and saves face.
Gu Silian hung her coat on the hanger near the door, walked to a place half a meter away from the old lady, and sat down. The middle seat was reserved for her second brother Gu Shihong.
"By the way, where is Gu Xin? Why didn't Gu Xin come?"
"Ask Gu Xin." Su Wangdi said, "I answered a call this morning and went out with a friend, saying that I was going to inspect some project. He knows this place and will come back later."
Gu Silian glanced at Gao Chang, who smiled back.
Before coming, she was still hesitant about whether to talk to Gu Xin before eating. After all, she was an aunt and she always had to save some face for her nephew. As for Gao Chang, she still had the idea before that she wanted to embarrass Gu Shihai and his wife. Now Gu Xin didn't. Come on, I can only say that God is on Gao Chang's side.
Dongdongdong...
At this time, someone knocked on the door. They looked back and saw that it was Gu Shihong who had arrived. He was wearing a thick linen suit and was clean shaven. However, there were a lot more white hair on the temples than before, which was alarming. I wonder if he is angry with his son and daughter - a man who flirts with women everywhere and makes the whole network popular. When the father goes to the vegetable market, he is criticized by others. When he picks up the little tiger, he will encounter all kinds of things. Weird eyes, the other married to the Shi family, from mother to son, they are all weird, recently married and divorced, anyway, no one makes him worry.
"Mom, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law."
"Shihong is here, come to mom."
The old lady patted the place on her right, saying that she had not seen her second son for more than half a month and missed him very much.
"Look at you, your hair has turned a lot gray from worry."
"Mom, I haven't dyed my hair for a long time."
Gu Shihong sat down next to her, looked at the empty table, glanced around and said, "Have you ordered?"
Gao Chang nuzzled at Gu Shihai, meaning the boss ordered it.
"oh."
Gu Shihong nodded.
"Gu Yin, how many times have I told you to stop running around? If you let me see you next time, don't come home."
"Mom, stop pinching me, it hurts."
A figure flashed at the door, and Feng Xiaoqin and Little Tiger walked in. The former grabbed the latter's clothes, while the latter frowned. There was a red mark on his chubby face. He looked like he had just been pinched with a heavy hand.
Gu Shihong felt a little distressed: "Xiao Qin, the child is not sensible. If he did something wrong, please tell him carefully and don't do anything."
Feng Xiaoqin glanced at him, but did not take her father-in-law's words seriously. She took off the thin black shirt without a collar, took Little Tiger's hand and walked to the chair near the door to sit down.
The old lady patted her second son's hand and whispered, "Are her parents still living at home?"
Gu Shihong nodded lightly.
"Something happened to her brother, and her parents were worried. They would not be relieved if he left like this."
"Then let them stay at home forever?"
"It's just about having twins. Mom, don't worry about it." Gu Shihong didn't want to hide it from her, but he also knew that he couldn't. He hadn't seen the old lady for more than half a month, and there were just a lot of things at home. Gu Shilian can hide something bad for a while, but not for the rest of his life.
"Then who lives in my room?"
"Xiao Qin and Little Tiger."
Looking at her great-grandson, the old lady stopped talking.
Gu Shihong knew that the old lady had endured it, so why didn't he? In the entire Gu family, Gu Xin was not married. Gu Shilian and Gao Chang couldn't have children, so they went to the orphanage to adopt one, a daughter. The fourth generation of the Gu family only had a little tiger, so small The child loves his mother, so what should he do if he becomes the grandfather? Are you as unscrupulous as Gu Lei and kicking Feng Xiaoqin and her parents out of the house? What will the daughter-in-law teach the little tiger to be like? If he turns against the Gu family in the future, even if he dies, he will not rest in peace.
Everyone thinks he is easy to bully and too weak, but he can only do this because Gu Lei has already played a bad role. If he doesn't show his face anymore, he will have room for maneuver in everything, which makes Feng Xiaoqin anxious and really pulls the little tiger. What should I do if I jump off a building?
Crying, making trouble, hanging, shrews, three treasures, some people hate it deeply, but it is undeniable that it is easy to use, because it can disgust a family for many years, and it can hurt the feelings of the elderly the most. As the saying goes, everything goes well with the Yun family. Young people who are not married and have no children cannot understand the meaning of this sentence.
"Grandma, dad, aunt, uncle." Following the clatter of footsteps, Gu Qingyu walked in from outside. No one was surprised by this. Basically, whenever you go out to meet people, high heels are standard, and sometimes you can change them twice a week. Ten pairs, different in the morning and evening. She herself said that other girls love bags, but she loves high heels.
"Qingyu, you're here."
Just as Gu Silian was about to stand up and say hello, Gu Qingyu stepped aside to make way for a man.
She froze.
The whole family was the same, even Gu Shihong looked stunned, not expecting that she would bring anyone here.
Also, what does this... mean?
"Zhanxiang doesn't need an introduction, everyone knows him."
Gu Qingyu pulled out Boss Zhan who was hiding with his feet back, and whispered: "Who just said downstairs that this was all a small scene, Xiaoyu, now is your chance to express yourself, don't miss it."
Zhanxiang was a little timid and nervous.
Yes, he had many drinking places and met many big bosses and leaders, but today was different. Gu Qingyu brought him to a family gathering, which was more or less like meeting his parents.
The problem is that Gu Qingyu's father is Gu Shihong. This old man has always disliked him. He thinks that he came to Shanghai to make a living before finishing high school. What he has today is more about luck than ability. Gu Qingyu has reached where he is now entirely through his own efforts. He is not worthy of her.
"Grandma, eldest uncle, eldest aunt, uncle, aunt, uncle..." He was sincere and shouted to the people at the table. He stopped when he reached Feng Xiaoqin. He didn't know whether to call her Sister Qin as before, or Sister Qin. Follow Gu Qingyu's relationship.
"Zhan... Zhanxiang, right? Come on, sit down, sit down." The old lady showed her amiable side, smiled and waved, gesturing for him to take a seat quickly.
Gu Shihong remained silent, his eyes squinting at Gu Qingyu.
The last time I got married to Shi Yuan, there was a pre-arrangement. No one was informed, and I went directly to get the marriage certificate. Then, under the pretext of treating me to dinner, I brought Shi Yuan to everyone to recognize her. What can he do? Fall out on the spot and take your daughter’s hand to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce? But what is the outcome of this marriage? At least in Wanziyuan Community, it can be said that it was infamous and ended hastily.
What about now? She played this trick again, knowing that he didn't like Zhanxiang, and brought Zhanxiang to meet his parents.
"Dad, this is the wine Zhanxiang brought."
Gu Qingyu pulled up the sleeves of his bottoming shirt, lifted the gift bag behind Zhanxiang, and placed it on the turntable in the middle of the dining table.
Kweichow Moutai.
In China, everyone except the blind knows the pattern in the middle of a brown gift bag.
Gu Shihai and Su Wangdi looked unhappy because the two bottles of Yanghehai Blue they brought over looked particularly stingy.
The standard of one thousand yuan, two bottles of Blue of the Sea, if you calculate the value alone, they would only buy one bottle of Feitian Moutai. They still have this bit of common sense.
Gao Chang and Gu Silian looked at each other, and the former chuckled, feeling like a mirror.
Why did Gu Qingyu bring Zhanxiang to the family dinner? On the one hand, she wanted to say goodbye to Shi Yuan's marriage. On the other hand, she also knew that Gu Shihai and Su Wangdi had bad intentions in instigating a family gathering. They probably wanted to see Gu Shihong's jokes. As a daughter, of course she couldn't let that happen. The father made a fool of himself. I brought Zhanxiang here just to show my uncle and aunt that she, Gu Qingyu, had kicked Shi Yuan and the big boss Zhanxiang, and had a seamless marriage, unlike their Gu Xin, who was pursued by her ex-girlfriend. If you don’t come, the work is not done yet.
"Such a good wine. Let me see. Kweichow Moutai is from 2013. I need to drink two more glasses today, right? Big brother, second brother?"
Gao Chang has always been a person who doesn't take things too seriously when watching the excitement. He ignored Gu Silian's warning, pulled the gift bag on the turntable, took out a bottle of wine, held it in his hand and looked through it, looking around and around. While watching, they talked about how good this wine was and why it was so popular, which made the couple very angry.
Da da da……
"Hello, may I ask...can we serve the food?"
There was a knock on the door, and a waiter wearing a short cheongsam with lotus print came in and asked with a smile.
This somewhat eased the embarrassment of Su Wangdi and Gu Shihai.
Just when the old lady was about to ask Gu Shihong whether his grandson was coming, a familiar male voice came from outside.
"Let's serve."
It's Gu Lei.
Including Feng Xiaoqin and Xiao Hu, the family members at the dining table all raised their heads and looked at the door of the private room.
Soon, Lin Yue's face appeared in everyone's sight.
But he didn't come alone, he was followed by Feng Xiaoqin's sister Feng Xixi.
Gao Chang looked at Feng Xiaoqin, then at Feng Qianqian, and thought it was interesting, a showdown between sisters.
You must know that Feng Qianqian is Feng Xiaoqin's sister. She has never participated before and is not qualified to participate in the Gu family banquet. Today Feng Xiaoqin came with Gu Shihong, and Feng Qianqian came with Gu Lei. The former's position is that of Little Tiger's mother and Gu Shihong's daughter-in-law. What about those? Obviously, Gu Lei's wife.
The older sister won't leave, the younger sister will force herself on her.
Everyone said that the Gu family was in chaos due to Gu Lei, and the Feng family... was not much better than the Gu family.
He was excited, and so were Gu Shihai and Su Wangdi, because even if they didn't say anything, having sisters Feng Xiaoqin and Feng Xixi on the same stage was a big show in itself.
"Gu...Gu Lei...you...this..."
Zhan Xiang felt his scalp was numb. Last weekend, Gu Qingyu had a bad stomach. He ran to the hospital to take care of him. After that, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up. Yesterday, Gu Qingyu called him and asked him to attend a family gathering together. He was very excited at the time. He called Gu Lei to announce the good news - without his brother-in-law interfering, Shi Yuan and Gu Qingyu would not have divorced, and he would not have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, so he always regarded Gu Lei as his prospective brother-in-law and benefactor. It was said at the time that it was just an ordinary family dinner, and nothing unpleasant would happen. Who knew that he was being teased... No, I should say two things.
Gu Qingyu said that it was a rare gathering and it was the first time for him to meet his parents, so he had to bring at least two bottles of good wine. Gu Shihong liked to drink white wine, so he bought two bottles of 2013 Feitian Maotai, thinking about the importance of strong three-soybean-five. However, as soon as he entered the door, he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. When Gu Qingyu put the gift bag on the dining table, his aunt and uncle looked at him differently.
Now that Gu Lei has brought Feng Qianqian here again, the atmosphere in the room has become even more uncomfortable. To him, an outsider, this is simply a human disaster.
"What are you doing standing around? Go ahead."
The waiter was not so much driven away by Lin Yue as he was amnesty. Anyway, he was walking in a hurry, so much so that he almost tripped over himself.
"sit down."
Lin Yue walked to a place two seats away from Su Wangdi, pulled up a chair, settled Feng Qianqian, and sat down next to her.
Feng Xixi has been carefully dressed up. Her hair style is no longer a mediocre long ponytail, but has been permed into wavy curls. Her makeup is more ladylike and has no aura. She wears a khaki mid-length thin windbreaker, a turtleneck, tight black pants and black leather shoes.
And Feng Xiaoqin is opposite her. In terms of impressions, one is as mean as a knife, one is calm and restrained, one has anger written on his face, and the other is full of confidence. So the left and right sides of the dining table are like two distinct people. world.
Also, Feng Xiaoqin is 38, Feng Xixi is 25, one is a yellow-faced woman, one is young, one has given birth to children, one is unmarried and has no children, one is full of calculations, the other is obedient... All men with bright minds know how to choose.
Gu Qingyu arranged for Zhan Xiang to get closer to Feng Xiaoqin, but as soon as his butt touched the chair, it bounced up like a nail and moved to the right side of the goddess with a pleading expression.
No one spoke, and the silence was worse than the storm.
Dongdongdong...
There was a knock at the door, and the waiter who came in with a plate rescued the people in the private room.
There are six appetizers, including Wushan tribute goose, wild fungus, beef shank with peppercorns, yam millennium fruit, boneless duck feet, and appetizing crispy melon.
After the dishes were placed, the last waiter said "please use it slowly" and left.
"Come, eat food, eat food, Mom, try this Wushan Gong goose, this is the signature dish of the store." Gu Shihai gave the old lady a goose leg, watched her chew it slowly and ate half of it. Touch your wife's feet.
Su Wangdi was grabbing a duck paw and chewing it until her mouth was full of oil. After getting the signal from the man, she said without raising her head: "Gu Lei, my eldest aunt advises you, this wife is better than the original wife. Xiaoqin married into the Gu family so Over the years, from mother to little tiger, she has taken meticulous care of her. She is a good wife and mother. If you say you insist on getting a divorce and marrying another one, you don’t care what outsiders think. How many years older does little tiger grow? It’s not that your eldest aunt doesn’t wish you well. , he will hate you to death."
