Chapter 778 A Distinctive Guest
The people in the He family's circle at the banquet had a common purpose: they wanted to see what kind of height the relationship between the righteous grandson of the Chao family and the He family would reach.
Therefore, they had been looking forward to the appearance of the Chao family from the beginning. The guests who were nearby had been paying attention to Mrs. He's attitude towards the visitors. They found that Mrs. He was only special to the Chao family boy and even gave him a gift. I have to say that it was An intriguing event.
When the Chao family came, they did not see the Chao family's grandson. They looked forward to the He family's grandson and the Chao family's grandson. Many people thought that the Chao family's grandson would wear a beautiful dress like he went to Zhou Xin's family to attend a birthday party. But the result was After being carried into the hall by the grandson of the He family, all the guests fell into deep thought.
When the Chao family's little righteous grandson arrived, Mrs. He actually stood up to greet her, which made everyone's minds turn around in countless ways. When Mr. Li, Mr. Wu and others arrived, she did not get up. She only stood up in person when the little girl arrived. He left his seat to say hello, and also gave away the dowry jade bracelet given by his grandfather's family. His attitude was full of respect and affection, it was simply... it made people scratch their heads and couldn't figure out the secret.
Throughout the whole process, Mrs. He Jiatai only treated the Chao family brothers and sisters differently, which shows how precious the Chao family's little righteous grandson is in the eyes of the He family.
People in the elite circle are smart, and they see it in their eyes, and no one can tell. There are also some people who have not been transferred from other provinces recently, or have not been in the capital before. They don't understand the reason, and they only keep their questions in their hearts.
While others were imagining things, Mr. and Mrs. Sanjun of the Chao family and Mrs. Wang waited eagerly for Brother Bo to bring his sister over. When the brother and sister came over to surround him, they saw Xiaotuanzi covering his eyes with a cloth. They felt extremely distressed and secretly looked at the grandson of the He family. Yan Xing threw away N knives.
"Xiao Bo, please give me your sister, don't make you tired." Chao's father saw the tiny pink dumpling in his son's arms, and he wanted to snatch his daughter over and take care of it himself.
"Dad, little Lele is not happy today. It's better for me to hold her. Otherwise, she will wake up and be angry, and you won't be able to coax her." Chao Yubo did not give his father a chance to show off, and refused to compete with him for his sister.
"How do you know Xiaotuanzi is unhappy?" Chao's father felt aggrieved because he couldn't win over his daughter. His son took advantage of his sister and refused to give her the love of a father. A son who competes with me for Xiaotuanzi is not a good boy.
"Dad, I can tell by looking at Xiao Lele's lip shape whether she is happy or not. Xiao Lele's pout means she is unhappy. She is in a good mood, and there is a smile on her lips even when she is asleep."
Chao Yubo gently leaned forward and showed the face of the little pink dumpling in his arms: "Dad, please don't snatch it away. Look at whether Xiao Lele is pouting. Yes, now Xiao Lele still wants to hide her face. , indicating that the sound is too noisy.”
Sanjun and his wife from the Chao family looked over and saw the little pink dumpling leaning towards Brother Bo. They were speechless. The little rascal could express his liking even when he was asleep. He was like a spirit.
"Okay, Xiaobo, please take your sister to sit down."
Chao Yi touched the hair on Xiao Tuanzi's forehead and refused to snatch his niece. He said he was very sad because he was the only one in the family who had never held Xiao Tuanzi in his arms. His brothers always showed off how cute and well-behaved Xiao Tuanzi was when he fell asleep, which made him unable to think about it. It's also a little difficult to be jealous of my younger brothers.
Mrs. Wang did not snatch her away. Little Lele was very small and could be held for a minute or two. If she kept holding her, she might not be able to hold him. It was better to let the boy take care of the little guy.
Several adults touched Xiaofenduanzi's face and head and knew that she was just asleep, so they slowly returned to their seats.
They were not panicked because Xiaofenduanzi was blindfolded. Xiao Lele used to say that he had to apply medicine to protect his eyes when he came home from the hospital for surgery. This time, he applied medicine before returning, which means it may be better than the previous surgeries. More energy consuming.
The beautiful young man from the Chao family carried his sister back to where he was sitting. Xiao Shao, Luo Shao and Li Shao and others shouted happily and moved the chairs to wait for Brother Bo to sit down. Even Wang Ershao, who was sitting at the next table, also I ran over and squeezed a few heads closer to watch the earth-shaking changes in the pink and tender little loli when she was asleep and when she was not asleep.
"Don't get too close. Lele hates noise around her when sleeping."
The friends were so enthusiastic that the beautiful boy had to pour cold water on him, sit down, move his sister in his arms, and help her pick up her backpack.
There were many hands and feet vying for help. When several hands touched the backpack, a sleeping little loli was not happy. She immediately hugged the backpack tightly, turned over, and hid the bag and person in her brother's arms.
Several handsome young men looked confused. Do you dislike them?
"My sister is very defensive when she sleeps. She doesn't like others touching her bag." The beautiful boy smiled and rolled his eyes, gently patted the little pink ball on the back, and then touched her head: "Lele is good, hold her while you sleep." The bag is uncomfortable, so give the backpack to my brother.”
After comforting him for a while, he gently took off his backpack and handed it to Brother Xiao, who was nearest: "Brother Xiao, help me send this to my dad and mom to take care of it. There are fragile items in it." , handle with care.”
"Brother Bo, can I protect you?"
"Brother Xiao, don't take the credit this time. This is Xiao Lele's most important property. Let my dad take care of the backpack. My eldest and second uncle will also supervise my dad to prevent them from drinking and getting high."
"Understood, I'll tell the old men to help keep an eye on it." Xiao Junyi understood instantly and acted as an errand boy with her backpack in her arms.
Li Shaoluo looked at the beautiful boy speechlessly. Brother Chao worked hard to prevent his parents from drinking.
Wang Wenhao also went to the He family with his parents to congratulate Mrs. He on her birthday. He did not have a close relationship with the younger generation of the He Jiaming generation, so he did not receive an invitation from the younger generation of the He Jiaming generation. He was in the left seat and did not enter the invitation of the younger generation of the He family. Seats for friends.
Mr. Hao was very depressed when he saw Mr. Xiao and others being so close to the young Chao family. He sent several posts to invite Mr. Chao and the little girl from the Chao family to hang out with their friends and to pre-invite the Chao family brothers and sisters to his birthday party. The posts disappeared like nothing, and no news came. Nothing.
Mr. Xiao protected the little Lolita's backpack, walked along the passage between the tables to Mr. Chao, and gave the backpack to Minister Chao: "Uncle Chao, Brother Bo has repeatedly told me that this backpack is the best for Lele Xiaotuanzi." You must protect your precious possessions and don't touch them.
The old men are also helping to supervise. Whoever supervises well, maybe Xiaotuanzi will prepare tea for you and make delicious braised pork pancakes and barbecued pork buns for you when he is happy. ”
"You brat, you can leave."
"Boy Xiao, please leave quickly, we will keep an eye on Chao San."
The old men nearby were amused and directly attacked the Xiao boy.
Mr. Li had a sullen face and directly ordered his son-in-law: "Chao San, give me the bag to keep for Xiao Lele. You are greedy and can easily make mistakes."
"Mr. Li, you are a national-level cadre after all. How dare you do this? Chao San, give it to me. I am a soldier. It is more than enough to protect a bag." Mr. Xiao stopped Mr. Li and took the lead in grabbing the credit. .
"I am also a soldier, and it is most appropriate for me to be my protector." Mr. Luo was not to be outdone. His words trailed off. Mr. Qing, Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhou and others all argued that it would be most appropriate for him to be protected.
Mr. Chao stared silently, you guys are trying to grab a kid's bag, where's your face?
Chao Shenghui couldn't hold his daughter in his arms. He finally helped to keep the bag and a lot of people came to snatch it. His face changed. He held the backpack in his arms and refused to give it to her. "Old man, Brother Xiao said he wanted you to We supervised it and didn’t ask you to keep it for me. If you try to rob it, I won’t say anything good about you in the future.”
The elders threw away a piece of dagger, you brat, you know how to threaten people! But the threat worked, and they were still looking forward to the little brothers and sisters going to their place to play.
A group of old people stopped shouting to grab the bag. Chao Sanye happily stretched the strap of Xiaofenduanzi's backpack and hung it in front of him. He also deliberately placed it next to his wife to protect his girl's bag with his wife.
"What good things are there in the little girl's backpack? You old people who are well-informed can't help but want to snatch it and protect it." The elders calmly stopped fighting, and Mr. Wu asked jokingly.
"The child's backpack is full of medical supplies." Mr. Li replied with a smile.
"It must be a precious thing. Can Mr. Li tell us something to open our eyes?"
Li Laoyun smiled lightly: "We have never seen the little guy's backpack. The little guy's medicine is worth tens of thousands of gold. What if it gets broken when he takes it out? So, we elders have never thought about asking about the little guy's backpack." What novelty does the guy’s backpack have? Even my grandson and his sisters don’t look at my sister’s bag.”
"Haha, the little girl from the Chao family's backpack is so mysterious. I can't help but want to take a look." He accidentally brought up an unpopular topic, and Mr. Wu smiled to justify it.
"I want to disappoint Mr. Wu. Of course, I can't show it to Mr. Wu without my little Lele's consent." Mrs. Li spoke in a soft voice, gentle, dignified, and amiable.
"That's right, you can't peep into other people's privacy. During this long holiday, the little girl will spend the holidays at Chao's house, or go back to her hometown..." Mr. Wu immediately changed the subject.
The beautiful young man from the Chao family threw a backpack, causing a small commotion, but he himself didn't care at all what happened to the old men over there. He hugged his sister, helped her straighten her hands and feet, and touched her head to coax her to sleep.
The little Loli wanted to go to bed, and even though Luo Shao and Li Shao wanted to rub her head, they didn't dare to take any action. No one was chattering anymore, and they just acted like quiet handsome men.
Second Young Master Wang relied on the fact that he was Little Loli's nephew, so he touched her head before running away and going to hang out with the friends He Xiaoliu invited. He wanted to share a table with Young Master Xiao, so over there There is no place for him.
Yanxing, the grandson of the He family, and Xiaoyi's grandson of the Chao family were almost the last group of people. There were no guests after them until it was time to serve food in two minutes, when a couple rushed over.
Those two were also the latest guests. When they sat down, there was only one empty seat at table 66, which meant that there were actually dozens of people bringing extra people to the He family to occupy the table, because there were originally 66 tables. Table six is where the He family members and their in-laws help greet the guests.
At the scheduled time, the staff in charge of the dinner served the dishes on time. The people guarding the door of the He family closed the door of the villa and returned to the main building hall along with the etiquette. Ancestor He also served the table.
The young and old of the He family divided the work in an orderly manner according to the plan. Some people went to add tables. Mr. He San took a few juniors to adjust seats. The first one to go was where the Chao family brother was sitting.
When all the young people saw Mr. He San coming, they stood up in unison. Only the beautiful young man from the Chao family could only apologize because he was holding his sister.
He Zirui walked directly to the Chao family brother and made a humble gesture of invitation: "Great nephew, please come and sit next to our ancestors." "Old man, my sister and I are very suitable to sit here. You are welcome, we Here are He Xiaoshi and his brothers to greet you.”
Facing the highest courtesy from the He family, Chao Yu Borong was unfazed and smiled lightly, like the sunshine in March, like the first blooming snow lotus, holy and elegant, heart-warming.
He Zirui once again politely asked: "Great nephew, if you don't accompany the little doctor to our ancestors, the children in our family will not dare to sit down tonight and will have to eat standing up."
"Xiao Chao/Brother Bo, we don't want to eat standing up." Brothers He Xiaoba, He Xiaoshi and Fifteen unanimously asked the beautiful young man from the Chao family to show his respect.
"In this case, I would rather obey your orders than respect you."
The young and old of the He family insisted on taking their sister to the main table. Chao Yubo guessed that it was impossible not to go, so he moved the little pink dumplings in his arms, hugged them, stood up and followed the hosts.
Mr. He San and his juniors personally accompanied the Chao brothers and sisters to the main table, arranged to sit in the first seat on the left hand of the ancestor, let Xiao Longbao and Xiao Shiwu accompany them, and then took people to the seats to greet them.
The He family only invited the Chao family brothers and sisters to the master's table, and did not invite anyone else. Even the Chao family's old man and his wife did not have that honor.
The beautiful boy held his sister and sat down next to Mrs. He. Yan Xing and He Mingzhi poured him a glass of juice and water.
The Chao family brothers and sisters were by their side. Ancestor He smiled and came closer to poke the little doctor's face, which made the little guy hide his face in the boy's arms. She and her eldest daughter-in-law who was accompanying her laughed so hard that they couldn't even see each other.
When serving food, the main table should be served first and then the guests. The staff are serving the food non-stop, and strings of people are passing between the seats, and the aroma is astonishing.
The banquet was about to start soon, and the beautiful young man gently pinched Ke's little loli sister's cheek: "Lele, get up, it's time to eat, Lele, get up and have dinner!
Lele, there are delicious food, prawns, pork knuckles, hairy crabs..."
The young man was calling his sister, and the young and old of the He family watched in amusement. However, the little loli couldn't move, and was pinched several times in the face. The elder brother, who wrinkled his nose and face, reluctantly hid his face next to his brother. He called a few more words, "little man" Chao'er seemed to be annoyed, and muttered in a daze, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep. Don't disturb me. If you disturb me again, Brother Chao will beat him." He yelled, his little body turned into a cat. Tuan hid his face in the arms of the beautiful boy and continued to sleep soundly.
The little doctor was very well-behaved while sleeping and spoke softly and cutely. Ancestor He couldn't help but rub her head: "Oh, the little doctor can still talk to people while sleeping. It's so fun. Can you ask her while she's asleep?" Do you have any boys you like? Who do you hate the most? ”
"Ancestor, you can try to ask and dig out the little doctor's secrets." Old Mrs. He Da encouraged the ancestor.
The beautiful young man smiled lightly at Yan Yan: "This kind of secret cannot be dug out. My sister only said small things like not eating or drinking when she was asleep. The things she didn't want to say, even if she died in sleep, I couldn't ask. On the contrary, it is possible that she will remember it in her mind, and what she says next time will be matched by her, and an old score will be secretly recorded.”
"It's so funny, the little doctor has such a unique trick." The old lady He Da, the ancestor of He, laughed so hard that she almost couldn't stand up straight.
He Xiaoshi was surprised to observe and learn how the Chao family brother got along with the little Lolita. Yan Xing was so jealous... that he wanted to fight with Little Princess Chao on the spot. The little Lolita remained well-behaved and cute in the boy's arms, and returned to others. He doesn't get angry even if he pokes his face, but he still kicks him when he wants to hug him. It's unfair to treat him differently.
Mr. He San took a few juniors who could represent the He family to go around the guest seats to say hello, and the dishes were almost ready.
After returning from the guest room, the owners of the He family also went to take their seats one by one. Some were accompanying the guests at the VIP table, and some went to the seats at the host's house, He San and his wife, He Da, the old lady He Qili, He Qiying, and their grandsons Yanxing and He Xiaoshi. Sit at the main table to accompany the ancestors and distinguished guests.
There were eight people at the main table, including the Chao family brother and sister, a total of ten people per table. However, the person in the beautiful boy's arms was not awake, and the seat was empty.
The beautiful boy screamed several times but did not wake up the little pink dumpling, knowing that she would not wake up to eat, so he told the He family that there was no need to reserve a seat, and that the He family's children could be arranged to accompany the He family's ancestors.
Mr. He San moved his eldest brother's adopted son Xie Yiyuan's eldest son Xie Ming'en over as he pleased. Therefore, Yan Xing stayed next to the Chao brothers and sisters to take care of them conveniently. He Xiaoshi and Xie Ming'en also accompanied him for the first time. The He family Sit down in order.
After everyone was seated and all the dishes were served, the young and old of the He family stood up and raised their glasses. Mr. He San delivered a speech on behalf of the He family. The whole family of the He family went first as a sign of respect and the banquet started.
The He family's dinner was a family banquet. There were no celebrities or bands to entertain. It was just a dinner party. The dishes were also health-preserving, and of course everything was included.
The table was opened, and the guests even chatted while eating. There was no messy noise, and this was the most suitable opportunity for communication.
Mr. Xiao drank a little of the soup, then a spoonful, and muttered strangely: "Why does this soup feel so familiar to me when I drink it?"
Chao Yi also took a bite and smiled without saying a word.
He Qishu, who was accompanying the distinguished guest, heard this and replied with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, you have such a tricky mouth. You can tell the soup is different after just a few mouthfuls.
This soup is a health-preserving soup made from a recipe prescribed by a young doctor. The old men and women in our family now drink this soup ten days a month.
Tonight, the He family borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha and entertained the guests with health soup. ”
"I said it tasted so similar to the health soup I drank at Chao Er's house. It turned out that it was made by the same little girl."
Mr. Xiao was beaming with pride. He just said that it tasted very similar to the cordyceps soup they drank at Chao Er's house. It turned out that he had not mistakenly guessed that it was made by the same little girl. Even if the recipes are not necessarily the same, they must be the same. .
"Chao Er, please contribute the recipe. I also want one." Mr. Luo immediately filled the soup, not forgetting to ask for the recipe list.
"This won't work, I can't give you the recipe," Chao Er immediately shook his head: "Mr. Luo, my family's recipe list is a health soup prepared by Xiaotuanzi according to the physical constitution of our family. It is suitable for my family, but may not be suitable for you. < br>
It's okay for you to go to our house to drink occasionally, but it may not be suitable for regular drinking. ”
In order to prevent others from asking for recipes, He Qishu also added: "The little doctor said the same thing when he prescribed the health soup for our family. The little doctor said that everyone's physique is different, and people with similar physiques should drink the same health formula. Soup can improve health.
If your body constitution is different, drinking a certain health-preserving soup suitable for other people year after year may have counterproductive effects.
The health-preserving soup prescribed by the young doctor to the old man and the old lady of the He family is neutral, but it cannot be drunk every day. Drinking too much can easily overdo it. ”
"Forget it, I won't ask you, Chao Er, you eat what you have. I'll catch the little girl another day and ask if she can give me a health regimen. In the past few years, I feel more and more that my waist and legs are not as strong as before. ”
"How can a man of seventy or eighty years old still compare with a young man?"
"..."
The old people were trying to make trouble, finishing up after finishing, eating happily while having fun. No matter how they talked about it, the topic finally came back to the little girl. This one said it was not good here, which one said it was not good there. I want to find the little girl. The girl helped to take a look. Finally, Mr. Li snorted angrily and slapped back all the old shameless crooked ideas.
The elders were chattering, and Young Master Xiao and others drank the soup silently, dividing the soup into smooth pieces and eating whatever they wanted. Several people who had been guests in Xiao Loli's dormitory murmured in secret, talking in black and white, Hejia's health soup is very good, but it is still not as delicious as the chicken and mushroom soup made by Xiao Loli. The fish head soup is delicious.
At the He family's dinner, the dishes are not all served at once, but in batches. It takes fifteen minutes to eat the first time, and the second dish is served. There are both hot and cold dishes. It takes fifteen minutes to eat the second time, and it takes fifteen minutes to serve the third dish. The round of dishes is also the last round.
After the waiters finished serving the dishes, they all went to the side hall to have dinner and rest.
The He family went to toast, but the birthday star congratulated the ancestors. He was represented by Mr. He Er, He San, the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the fourth house and the eldest grandson of each house, as well as Xie Yiyuan and his son, and the married girl and son-in-law of Qi generation were behind. , the He family's representative team is also quite spectacular.
To propose a toast to the guests, first of all to the little doctor at the head table. The little loli is sleeping soundly in her brother's arms. The beautiful young man accepts the host's kindness on his behalf. Of course, it's just a matter of touching his lips.
I paid tribute to the first distinguished guest at the main table, then to all the elders at the VIP table, and then continued in a clockwise direction. It took a full hour and twenty minutes to honor all the tables.
After the host toasted, the guests could do whatever they wanted. All the guests came forward to toast Mrs. He, the birthday girl. The grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the He family drank on their behalf. No matter how many people came, the descendants of the He family would not refuse. The next one took the lead. As a result, half of the descendants of the He family were not on the stage, and dozens of the guests were drunk first and became dizzy.
The guests also toasted to the young doctor and the Chao family brother. The beautiful young man hugged his sister, smiled and said: "Everyone, I am flattered by your love. My sister is still a child and cannot drink. I used to have poor health, and my sister does not allow me to drink. , everyone’s kindness can only be appreciated.”
The handsome boy was not allowed to drink, so the guests instead respected the three heroes of the Chao family. The three heroes of the Chao family stood together and unanimously said that they would protect the little guy's backpack and not drink, so they declined in an upright manner.
When they were toasting to all the elders, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xiao and others even more confidently said that they would supervise the three boys of the Chao family to take care of the little girl's backpack and only drink milk. As a result, a large number of people who went to toast in the end were drunk. .
