Chapter 532 Banquet (2 updates
It was almost five o'clock when Le Xiao's classmate returned to Chao's house after having afternoon tea.
The young and old of the Chao family burst into laughter when they saw the little pink dumpling carrying big and small bags. She didn't say what they were, and they just didn't ask. They just grabbed the little guy and gave it a painful beating.
The third sister-in-law had so much fun making the little pink dumplings that Mrs. Chao finally decided not to attend Lao Mozi’s banquet.
How can a banquet be as interesting as having your own little dumplings? Wouldn’t it be fun to entertain little dumplings at home?
The three sisters-in-law stuffed small dumplings into the hands of the old man and the old lady. They all put on aprons and went to cook to show off their cooking skills, which is the perfect interpretation of the term "women can go to the hall and go to the kitchen".
His wife was cooking happily, which also made the three brothers Chao Yichao and Chao Yichao extremely...sad. It was fine that they couldn't eat the delicious food at home. The saddest thing was that their wife had a reason not to attend the Wang Bureau's dinner. They Can't hide.
To be honest, they didn't want to attend any banquets. It would be more free and comfortable to stay at home, but Wang Ju and his son both posted messages for them, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them not to go.
At this time, Chao Yi and Chao San were very envious of Chao Er. Chao Er was in business and not in politics, so Chao Er didn't have to go. However, they and Wang Ju were both in politics, so they were colleagues, and they often dealt with each other, which was indispensable for them.
Even if there were ten thousand reasons why he didn't want to go to the banquet, Chao Yi and Chao San had to pack themselves up and set off in a decent manner until half past six.
The two brothers traveled together, and one car was enough. Uncle Li, who worked at Chao Er's house, drove the two masters to the banquet.
The Wang family held a banquet at the hotel, which was not very far from the villa area where Chao Erye lived. If the traffic was light, it would take less than twenty minutes by car, so Chao Yi and Chao San didn't have to worry about being late if they delayed their departure until 6:30.
The traffic on Sunday was quite congested, and the car spent a lot of time on the road. It was not yet seven o'clock when the three brothers, Chao Yichao and Chao Chao, arrived at the hotel where Wang Bureau was hosting the banquet.
The dinner started at half past seven, and they arrived at a more suitable time.
The hotel had a waiter at the door to guide the guests. Chao Yi and Chao San followed the instructions and took the elevator upstairs to the banquet hall reserved by Mr. Wang. There were waiters inside and outside the hall to greet the guests.
Wang Ju's father, Wang Yang, is seventy-one years old and has a few gray hairs in his hair.
Yang Lao sat at the host's seat, Wang Ju and Mrs. Wang Hao Shao accompanied the old man to entertain the guests.
Members of the Wang family and relatives also helped at the banquet, and the hotel's hostess and assistants were nearby. Their duty was to guide some guests who had pre-arranged seats to their seats, so that the guests would not be unable to find a seat.
It is not advisable to be too extravagant and wasteful. Thirty tables are preset for the birthday banquet.
The invited guests were afraid of being stuck in traffic and would not be able to make it to the banquet, so they all came early and were almost three-quarters of the way there.
Those who have reserved seats sit at the tables assigned to them by the host, while those who do not have reserved seats sit at their own choice and chat in low voices with the people next to them.
When the handsome and elegant Chao family entered the banquet hall, the guests who had been paying close attention to the door saw that only Mr. Chao Da and Mr. Chao San were the only ones. Almost all of them subconsciously suspected that they had bad eyesight and looked behind the two handsome men. Wrong, there are only two brothers in the Chao family.
Little Miss Chao didn't come. They could understand why not even the wives of Erjun Chao's family came?
The confused guest secretly looked at the host's table.
Wang Ju and his sons couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that only two of the three heroes of the Chao family were the only ones.
Wang Wenhao murmured in his heart, could it be because classmate Le and Qing Dawang Xihua have a normal relationship, and he had seen him and Wang Xihua together and thought he and Wang Xihua were boyfriend and girlfriend. What did she say to Mrs. Chao's family? It made the three ladies of the Chao family feel resentful, so they didn't come to his house?
Wang Ju was puzzled as to why Mr. Chao Yi and Mr. Chao came alone. When he saw the two handsome men approaching, he stepped forward to welcome them on behalf of his father. After shaking hands and greetings, he invited the guests to meet his father.
The three brothers, Chao Yi and Chao, congratulated the old man on his eldest birthday and presented the small gifts they carried to the master.
The dignitaries in Beijing do not accept gifts when hosting banquets. Guests attending the banquets do not need to give red envelopes. They can just bring small gifts to show their appreciation.
"How is your father-in-law?" Yang Lao waited for his son and daughter-in-law to accept the gifts, and greeted the old man and old lady of the Chao family with a smile.
"My father and mother are in good health, and they are busy and caring about Yang Lao. I haven't seen Yang Lao for a few days, and you are more energetic." Chao Shengguo took the tea from the Wang family's grandson and expressed his gratitude to Yang Lao.
"Old man, I am a person who is half dead in age. My arms and legs are sore even if I move a little bit. I can't compare with you young people who are full of youth and energy."
"You are getting stronger and stronger, just like pines and cypresses." Chao Shenghui replied with a smile. He saw guests coming from the corner of his eye and smiled: "Yang Lao and distinguished guests are coming, so our brothers will not delay Yang Lao and Wang Ju to entertain the distinguished guests. ”
Director Wang also saw the distinguished guest Mr. Chao San said - Mr. Wu. He really wanted to entertain him and asked his son to accompany the two handsome men of the Chao family to the table. Chao Yi and Chao San did not shirk, and followed the Wang family's grandson Hao Shao to their seats.
Mr. Wu walked into the banquet hall of the Wang family with a personal bodyguard and saw the Chao family brothers talking to Mr. Yang. He walked forward calmly. When he saw the Chao family brothers going to their seats, he went to say hello to the birthday boy of the Wang family in a leisurely manner. .
Mrs. Wang was surprised when she saw Mr. Wu and a middle-aged man accompanying him. Mr. Wu didn't bring the daughter of the Le family with him this time?
You must know that in the past, whenever Mr. Wu attended private banquets, he would usually bring the daughter of the Le family to attend. For example, everyone in the circle knew that Xiao Xiang, the cousin of the daughter of the Le family, actually used medicine on the brother of the Chao family. After the outbreak, Mr. Wu still took Le Qianjin to Chao's house. From this, we knew how much Mr. Wu doted on Le Qianjin. It was strange that he didn't bring Le Qianjin with him when he came to Wang's house this time.
When Mr. Yang saw Mr. Wu, he stood up and shook hands with the guests. After greeting him for a few minutes, he asked his son to escort Mr. Wu to the table and take a seat.
The Chao brothers took their seats at the assigned seats. In order not to show favoritism when arranging seats, Mr. Chao Da and Mr. Chao San were placed at two adjacent tables.
Chao Yiye's table is still occupied by several big bosses at the same level as him. If they and their wives happen to be able to fill the table, and Wang Lingyun, He Qiying, and Mr. Luo all arrive, only Chao Yiye and his wife's seats will be empty. Because Mrs. Chao did not attend, there was still an empty seat after Mr. Chao sat down.
Similarly, Chao Sanye sat at the same table as He Qishu and his wife He Qishu. There was also an old friend of the Chao family, Li Qingyunqing, Chao Yiye’s father-in-law Yang Lao, and Chao Er’s parents-in-law Zhou Laohe. The ladies were all people he knew. He sat down and there was an empty seat next to him.
As soon as Chao Sanye sat down, He Qiye asked with a smile: "Mr. Chao San, what is the little doctor busy these days?"
Mentioning the little girl from Lao Chao's family, Chao Shenghui couldn't keep the smile on his face: "Our little one went to the mountains to study plants a few days ago. He only came out of the mountain on Thursday evening. As soon as he showed up, he was killed by Yan Xiaozi, the nephew of the He family. I was asked to go to the hospital for rescue. I didn't go home until late at night. I only slept for half the night and then I took the time to crawl into the kitchen and busy making medicine. I didn't finish the work until this morning. I sent the medicine away and went to see the doctor who I had an appointment with before. After working for several days without rest, I finally returned home in the evening and was so exhausted that I was so worried that the old lady was worried
Zhuo Jing and her sister-in-law also felt sorry for the little cotton-padded jacket and went to the kitchen to make supplements for the little guy to replenish his health. We didn't even come to the dinner. ”
Mr. Luo, who was sitting at the same table with Mr. Chao Yi, originally wanted to ask the little girl of the Chao family. When Mr. He Qi asked, he was speechless. He listened to Mr. Chao San's answer with everyone. When he explained, everyone suddenly realized , no wonder Mrs. Chao Da and Mrs. Chao San didn't come. It turned out that the little girl felt sorry for the little girl and made delicious food at home to comfort the children.
Hearing that the young doctor was asked by the He family's grandson to go to the hospital to help with the operation, He Qiying wanted to cover her face. Xiao Longbao always ran to ask the young doctor for help. Sooner or later, the Chao family would be angry.
"Thank you for your hard work, little doctor. At a young age, the little doctor has a benevolent heart and works tirelessly for patients. He makes selfless contributions regardless of remuneration. He is truly a hero born from a young age, and he is worthy of being a hero among women.
As for my child Xiao Longbao, he always troubles the little doctor, which really puts the He family to shame. Mr. Chao can beat him if he doesn't like it. If the Chao family doesn't have a cane or stick, I will ask the boys to prepare some when I go home some other day. Send it to Chao's house for later use. ”
Hearing that Mr. He Qi asked Chao San to beat the grandson Yanxing of the He family, Yang Laoqing and Mr. Zhou laughed from ear to ear. Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes. Brother Bo's sister is a recruiter. The little baby was in pain, and they all wanted to put it in their pockets to protect their love. The grandson of the He family asked Xiaofenduanzi to see a doctor. He really deserved a beating.
Chao Shenghui nodded solemnly: "Mr. He Qi's suggestion is excellent. Next time, Mr. Yan will ask my little one to help him until he faints from exhaustion before he is brought back. The old Chao family will beat Mr. Yan with a cane and spank his ass. Also consider sprinkling a few handfuls of pepper or chili powder.”
"Mr. Chao San, you win. Remember to call me when you sprinkle the chili powder. I will gather the old and young at home to form a team to watch."
He Qiye's words made everyone at the table laugh.
"Hey, is Mr. Yan really your grandson?"
"Young boy Yan must be so sad when he hears this that he doubts his life."
"Pity the grandson of the He family..."
The Yang elders especially sympathized with the He family's grandson Yan, who was also drunk with such an uncle.
He Qi and his wife smiled as they listened to everyone's overwhelming sympathy for Xiao Longbao. They would not say that Xiao Longbao was not afraid of being beaten. Xiao Longbao's skin was rough and his flesh was rough. A normal rattan stick would leave a few bruises at most. If you wanted to beat him, his skin would be bruised. , unless you get a special kind of barbed rattan.
Major Hao sent the two masters of the Chao family to the table and then returned to the elders. He only heard Mr. Chao and Mr. He discussing the topic of the little girl of the Chao family. When there were no guests, he quietly told what he had heard from the Chao family. Tell the elders.
Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang heard that the little girl of the Chao family was exhausted and that the third sister-in-law of the Chao family was coaxing the children at home, so Mr. Chao Da and Mrs. Chao San did not come to the Wang family and were relieved.
After Mr. Wu, more guests arrived one after another. Those who could come arrived before the banquet started. The banquet started on time at half o'clock and ended at half past nine.
Because there were no special guests, Yang Lao's birthday party didn't have any amazing episodes. It started insipidly and ended peacefully.
