Liu Hongmei was widowed in her early years and never remarried. She raised three children by herself. Speaking of which, she had given birth to a child. If her husband hadn't died in the line of duty, she wouldn't have been able to keep her job.
Thanks to this stable work crew, although I am not living a wealthy life with three children, I can at least have enough to eat.
After two men and one woman started working one after another, Liu Hongmei's burden suddenly became lighter. After retiring, she lived alone for two years and suffered from loneliness. After meeting a party student, she came up with the idea of finding a wife to spend the rest of her life. .
Unexpectedly, the three children were all opposed to it, which made Liu Hongmei very embarrassed.
The eldest daughter is a civil servant, and the two sons are both businessmen. Their financial situation is very good, especially the youngest son. It is no exaggeration to say that he is making a lot of money every day by running an Internet company that is prosperous.
I thought that young people would be more open-minded, but I didn't expect that the children would have a lot of objections to her finding a wife. The eldest daughter even said that she should not engage in such immoral things when she is old, which made Liu Hongmei very sad and her heart dropped.
How could she know the little thoughts of the three children?
People can change, and Liu Hongmei has doted on her children since she was a child. When the children lost their father, the mother felt guilty and wished she could give everything to her children. Liu Hongmei has already tasted the consequences of growing up in such a pampering environment.
I thought that all three children were married, and the youngest son also gave birth to a child, so that the whole family would be happy and happy, but in the end, they often got into trouble because of trivial things.
Compared with the simple family situation of party students, Liu Hongmei's side is really a piece of cake.
She also figured out that it was fine if the child agreed, but she didn't care if he didn't. She devoted most of her life to her children. As a mother, her task was completed. She saw most of her body buried in the ground and had to live for herself for a few years.
The hotel was booked by my younger son. It was a well-known local hotel with a large private room. We made an appointment at twelve o'clock, but the four of us sat there for more than half an hour and no one came.
Li Guangming is basically sure that there will be a fight at noon. Aunt Liu Hongmei's children are not good people!
Li Hai didn't think too much about it. When he was kind to others, he always considered the problem from the other person's point of view. He thought that the other person must be delayed by something, and it didn't matter if he waited any longer. But he rarely thinks about it from another angle - since he knows the time has been arranged, why can't he finish what he needs to do in advance?
In Li Guangming's view, there are only two possibilities. Either Liu Hongmei's children deliberately ignored the old party student, or they did not care about their mother's happiness in her later years.
Li Hai accompanied the party students to talk, mostly about matters related to the party and the people in the army. Before going to the training base, everyone had visited relatives, and it was only a little over a year since he had seen his father. But for empty nesters, it is not an exaggeration to say that their days are like years.
Although there were fewer local contacts, it did not mean that people like Li Hai were closed-minded. He and Dang Weimin both knew how uncomfortable it was for the elderly to be lonely. Therefore, although Dang Weimin felt that it was not appropriate, he still gave his father encouragement. and support.
As the two men talked, Liu Hongmei was on pins and needles.
The junior did not go to the place to wait first, but let the elders wait. It was so ignorant. As a mother, she had no shame in her face.
Little did they know that this was done deliberately by her three children to prevent her from having a good relationship with the gang.
When it was nearly one o'clock, Li Hai was worried that the two old people were hungry, so he called the waiter over and said, "Comrade, let's serve some white porridge and steamed buns or something first. The old people should eat something to fill their stomachs first."
"Okay sir." The waiter was about to leave.
Liu Hongmei said quickly, "No, no, I'm not hungry. Girl, let's wait until everyone is here before ordering. It's troublesome."
"Okay, Auntie." The waiter returned to the side and was waiting.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Liu was still a child-protector. Li Hai smiled awkwardly and looked at the party student.
The party student waved his hand and said, "I've had a lot of breakfast, so I'm not hungry. Xiaohai, Guangming, you can order food. People should arrive when the food is served."
His expression was so calm that nothing could be seen.
Li Guangming waited for these words, and immediately stood up and walked to the waiter. Without giving Liu Hongmei a chance to illustrate, he ordered the dishes in one sentence - set meal plus Maotai.
The waiter was slightly surprised, then smiled enthusiastically and stomped away on high heels.
The minimum consumption for this private room is 1,200 yuan, and the guest ordered a 18,000 yuan set meal and drinks. She was overjoyed, and the 18,000 yuan set meal was personally ordered by the head chef. The system couldn't order it, so she had to run to the manager on duty.
It’s true that there are people who spend tens of thousands of yuan on a meal, but how many? Moreover, the bulk of the money is basically spent on drinks, and food usually does not account for a high proportion. On the other hand, big purchases are usually during dinner or noon. After all, there are few people who eat big meals and drink big wine.
This wave of unattractive customers offered a set meal of 18,000 yuan, which was considered the first one in a long time.
The most important thing is that the guest ordered six bottles of collector's edition Huang Moutai, which cost more than 30,000 yuan a bottle!
Li Hai took advantage of the gap between the party students and Liu Hongmei to talk and turned to Li Guangming, "What did you order so quickly?"
"Have you ever seen a billionaire order his own food?" Li Guangming said, rolling his eyes.
He is a super rich man who reaps a lot of flattery wherever he goes. He really has no sense of presence in front of his eldest nephew.
Le Hai said, “I’ve seen billionaires eat for themselves.”
Li Guangming:...
Li Hai said, "I have also seen billionaires being disciplined."
Li Guangming:...
When he was young, Li Guangming was a troublemaker and the most rebellious. He often opposed the old man. Every time he quarreled, Li Hai was the bridge between the two sides. Several times Li Guangming wanted to do something, but the old man objected. At this time, someone like Li Hai who could speak well with the old man was needed to act as a mediator.
Therefore, Li Hai is probably the person who has seen Li Guangming receive the most training.
"Fourth uncle, don't order such expensive dishes. They don't look good. People who don't know better think we are greedy." Li Hai said in a suppressed voice.
Li Guangming's eyes turned white with anger: "Boy (thief)! You don't look down on your fourth uncle, you look down on your fourth uncle's secretary!"
"Huh?" Li Hai was puzzled.
Li Guangming simply turned his trouser pockets out and said, "My pockets are cleaner than my face."
"What do I mean? I pay the bill. Of course I pay the bill. I have money." Li Hai smiled and said.
Li Guangming was defeated. He blamed himself for showing off. He knew that his eldest nephew was an upright person, so why did he beat around the bush?
"What are you two muttering about?" said the party student.
Li Hai said, "My fourth uncle ordered the food without consulting everyone. I asked him what he ordered."
"What the hell, you can eat anything, but you, Xiaohai, the food in the army is boring, so just order whatever you want." Dang Sheng said proudly,
Li Haidao said, "The food in the army is very good. What our pilots eat is air service stove, which is of the highest standard and is the same as what the astronauts eat."
"That's true, you are pilots." The party student nodded with satisfaction, obviously not worried that his son would not be able to eat well in the army.
The dishes arrived quickly, as if they were flowing water, and then the wine. Six bottles of Moutai in khaki-colored bottles were pushed in on an exquisite cart. There seemed to be certificates, and there were exquisite wine sets beside them. They were worth a lot at first glance.
The party student's mouth twitched when he saw it, and his heart trembled. The worst he could do was to pay 10,000 yuan. It was a rare opportunity, so he risked his life!
Liu Hongmei knew about Moutai, but her knowledge was even less than that of a party student. This alone made her frightened. Wouldn't the wine alone cost several thousand dollars?
"Uncle Dang, Aunt Liu, let's have a good meal at the end of the year. I...my eldest nephew is treating you." Li Guangming said with a smile.
Li Hai said, "The army is busy with work and there are few opportunities to have dinner with you. Today is the first time I meet you, Grandma Liu, so I made my own decision."
"Why are you kid saying this? Grandpa Youdang has no reason to let you treat me." said the student.
Liu Hongmei said, "Yes, yes, we agreed that my useless children will treat me to dinner today, so don't argue."
Li Hai smiled and nodded.
He didn't know her either. He was thinking that the big deal would only be a few thousand yuan. He was stingy, but he was not stingy regardless of the occasion. It costs a few thousand dollars to pull a few poles.
At this time, the protagonists appeared one after another.
The first person to appear was the second son Feng Yongfeng, who was in the second-hand construction machinery business. He was carrying a shoulder bag, and he looked hurried. The bag must contain a mechanical license certificate and other necessary documents for resale transactions.
"Mom, I just came here after finishing my work. This must be Uncle Dang. I'm sorry, Uncle Dang." Feng Yongfeng said with his fists in his hands.
Very polite person.
"It's a good thing for young people to be busy." The party student waved his hand, patted Li Hai's shoulder like he used to be a leader, and introduced, "Li Hai, my son's good comrade-in-arms, the one next to him is Li Hai's Uncle is also a businessman, Li Guangming, Boss Li."
Feng Yongfeng skillfully took out his business card and handed it over, shaking hands and greetings, "I deal in second-hand machinery and second-hand cars. If you need anything, come to me anytime. This industry is very deep."
"Easy to say, easy to say. I will definitely cause trouble for you if necessary." Li Guangming said with a smile.
Li Hai had never experienced such commercial pleasantries and just laughed.
At this time, the second protagonist appeared.
The eldest daughter Feng Lijuan came in with a boy of seven or eight years old. The boy was still carrying a schoolbag and had a reluctant face.
"Mom, why do you have to choose this time? Xiao Cong has to go to cram school at 2:30, and the time at noon is already tight." Feng Lijuan glanced at the others with raised eyes and said to Liu Hongmei.
His eyes are not his eyes, his nose is not his nose, his chin is still high, and there are hidden thorns in his words. At first glance, he is not easy to get along with.
"Xiao Cong, my dear grandson, come and sit here with grandma." Liu Hongmei greeted her grandson, who only had eyes for her.
Xiao Cong knew who was kind to him, so he shook off his mother's hand and walked over, calling her "grandma" sweetly.
Only then did Liu Hongmei say, "Don't you have time for dinner? Yongfeng and Yonghong said they would have lunch, so let's have lunch."
Liu Hongmei introduced it once, and Feng Lijuan responded with a smile, her eyes fell on the beautifully made dishes, and her brows suddenly furrowed, "Mom, do you need to order so many dishes for just a few people? Besides, There are several kinds of food here that Xiao Cong can't eat. It's true of you that you ordered before everyone was here."
The party students couldn't help but frown when they heard this.
He knew that Liu Hongmei's eldest daughter was difficult to get along with, but he didn't expect to be so mean and treat other people as nothing.
Li Guangming stood up quickly and said, "It's my fault. I ordered the food on my own initiative. I thought you could eat it immediately when you arrived without waiting for the food to be served. I'm sorry."
Feng Lijuan didn't want to be angry at strangers. She twitched her lips and turned her head to look at Liu Hongmei. "You don't know how hard it is for us to earn a few dollars. Isn't it a waste to order so many dishes and not be able to finish them all? It's true."
This is referring to mulberry trees and scolding huai trees.
Liu Hongmei's face suddenly turned ugly.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.
Li Guangming quickly smoothed things over, "I'm sorry, sorry, it's my fault. Miss Feng, this is really my fault. But I told Uncle Dang that I must be the one to treat this meal. I am a junior, haha."
Feng Lijuan crossed her arms and said with a smile, "No, it's just a meal. Our family won't be able to afford it. I understand."
Li Guangming was stunned and didn't feel embarrassed. He sat down and smiled.
Okay, I haven’t encountered such a weird thing in many years, so I’ll really let your family pay for it!
"I'm sorry, everyone, the company is too busy at this time, so I'm late. I'm late." The youngest son Feng Yonghong came.
How to describe this young man who is less than thirty years old? Internet celebrity style is the right one.
"You are Uncle Dang, hello, hello, hello, I am Guo Yonghong, my mother's youngest son. I opened an Internet culture company with a few friends, doing live broadcasts and cultivating Internet celebrities. During this time The number of followers of the main account has exceeded 10 million." Guo Yonghong is young and full of ambition.
At this time, Li Hai said, "The fans are very powerful."
He only became familiar with certain music platforms after meeting Zhuang Xiaoying. After all, a large number of military media were stationed there, so he had an idea. But he doesn’t understand the fan economy, and military media is not a profitable account.
"It's okay, it's okay, haha." Guo Yonghong sat down, glanced at the table, and couldn't hide his surprise, "Hey, the food is good."
The party students were in a very bad mood because the three children, Liu Hongmei, were so ignorant when they ignored and ignored Li Hai and Li Guangming.
"Everyone is here, let's eat." The party student said.
Unexpectedly, Guo Yonghong said, "Uncle Dang, wait a little longer, my wife is still on the way. You don't know her. If she sees us starting to eat without waiting for her, she will lose her temper on the spot." She is a student of etiquette, and our company has an account that teaches social etiquette. She is a live broadcaster and is very sensitive to this aspect."
Li Hai and Li Guangming looked at each other. Why did this sound wrong? Isn’t this America—double standards!
Li Hai never spoke much or showed his face. That was because he had to consider Mr. Dang's feelings.
At this time, seeing that Mr. Dang's face was darkened, Li Hai stopped holding it in. He picked up a piece of tender fish maw with his chopsticks and put it in Mr. Dang's bowl. He said, "Grandpa Dang, eat it first. You can't eat it first." You have been waiting for more than an hour, but unlike us young people, you must eat on time."
"Yes, that's what the doctor said, Hongmei, eat it, the child is hungry too." Mr. Dang greeted Liu Hongmei and Xiao Cong.
Xiao Cong wiped his saliva several times, and when he heard this, he immediately picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Feng Lijuan rolled her eyes and said, "Third brother, I'm not talking about you as the eldest sister, so you can't spoil her. What social etiquette? Mom is here. You two are late. What social etiquette are you talking to me about?"
"Third brother, let's eat first, everyone is hungry." Guo Yongfeng said.
Guo Yonghong suddenly became unhappy. He couldn't lose his temper in front of so many years, so he said, "So this person's quality can really be cultivated. Social etiquette is so important. Sister, you work in an agency. Second, Brother, you are an intermediary, so you should feel it more deeply than me."
"Okay, this is not home, let's eat!"
Liu Hongmei got angry.
The three siblings picked up the food and started eating.
