The monthly family dinner can't be avoided. Whenever this day comes, there is frost on Bai Li Yan's cold face.
From the moment she got into the car, Bai Liyan didn't speak. She looked out of the window, at the busy crowd for a living, and thought about something.
"Apart from those who can't come back from studying abroad and business trips, there are 20 people attending the family dinner tonight. There are five members of the bailimer family, three members of the bailishan family, seven members of the baililong family, four members of the bailiqi family, and one ancestor. Today, the host of the family banquet is baililong. The place of the family banquet is still the villa of the ancestors. "
Suman sat in the co pilot's seat and reported carefully. Before and after every family dinner, bailiyan was in a bad mood. This time. Even a little mistake will annoy Baili Yanran. Yesterday, because of her carelessness, she failed to complete the task of inviting Han Fei. Bai Liyan sprinkled all her anger on Bai Lixi.
Su man knows that Bai Li Yan's anger is not due to Han Fei's refusal. But because of today's family dinner.
This monthly family dinner is not only a simple meal, but also a comment on the work performance of bailiyan in a month. Suman is an outsider and can only wait outside the villa every time. For so many years, Suman has been puzzled that the Baili family led by Baili Yanran makes profits every month. Why does Baili Yanran still suffer so much when holding a family banquet.
"Did prissy go home?" One more traffic light and we'll be home. Bai Liyan turned her head, pulled the wrinkled clothes a little and asked coldly.
"There are no classes on Friday afternoon. Xi went home at two o'clock less. "
"What has baililon done recently?" Baili nodded with a smile, and the topic shifted to the host of the family banquet tonight.
This is the question that bailiyan must ask before every family banquet. Suman methodically took out an electronic notepad and handed it to bailiyan with both hands.
"Here are the bulk business and profits and losses of baililong in the past six months, as well as some things done by the seven members of baililong family in the past six months. In the past six months, their family of seven spent more than 30 million on living expenses and lost more than 200 million on investment. The only bright spot, Baili Ruge, came back last month and made more than 50 million for the company they are responsible for. "
"A hundred miles like a song?" Baili Yan lowered her head to browse the information. When she heard the name of Baili Ruge, her slender white and tender fingers paused a little, "this is not good news."
"From the month he came back, he really changed his mind. I didn't get in touch with the previous second generation of officials. I stayed in the company at seven to nine and went back to the villa to accompany my family after work. Recently, Bai Li Ru Ge often visited his ancestors and listened to his family. His ancestors have been very happy recently. "
Bai Li Yan frowned slightly, handed the electronic notepad to Su man, and looked at the towering door in the distance.
"Pick me up on time at nine in the evening!" The car stopped steadily. Wang Bo waited beside the car and Baili Yanran told Suman.
"Yes!" Every family dinner ends at nine o'clock. Bailiyan won't stay at home for another minute. Even if she doesn't give orders, Suman knows what to do.
The door opened and Baili Yanran got off gracefully. Accompanied by Wang Bo, Baili Yanran walked to the building in the center of the villa group.
The three storey villa, European architecture and the old-fashioned decoration style can easily give people the illusion of going back to the last century.
Wang Bo stopped twenty meters from the villa. Four very young girls came up, the first two and the second two accompanied Baili Yan to walk in.
"Smelly boy, why did you bring grandma such a big apple?"
"Grandma is old and strong. She can certainly take a big bite, can't she?"
Walking to the door of the villa, he heard the dialogue between grandma and Baili Ruge. Baili said coldly, "you can't eat a mouthful!"
The villa living room, which was still noisy and lively just now, was frozen in an instant. Those who ate forgot to chew, those who chatted stopped their mouths, and those who played with mobile phones rigidly stopped their actions in their hands. Everyone's eyes looked at Bai Li Yan, with a puzzled expression on their faces.
Bai Li Ru GE's posture of holding the apple remained unchanged. He turned his head and looked at Bai Li and said, "why, I haven't seen it in more than three years. What grandma eats is up to you? Are you a talker in this family? "
"Grandma can't sleep at night after eating apples. This is something the whole family knows. Don't you remember? After three years in the United States, you have forgotten the most basic filial piety and care? " Baili Yanran was impolite, fought back coldly, walked to grandma, squatted down and asked gently, "grandma, am I right?"
"Yes! yes! Grandma doesn't eat apples. Grandma likes to eat Xiaofei's wonton. Will you take grandma to eat? "
"Good! OK! As long as you don't eat apples, you can eat anything! " Baili smiled with a smile. Take grandma's hand and sit down.
"Damn me!" Baili Ruge stood up, "I'm not qualified as a brother. If it wasn't for my sweet sister's reminder, I'd forget that grandma can't eat apples. It's really damn."
Bai Li Ru Ge pretended to pat himself on the cheek twice, took the apple and went to his mother Ma Juhong and said, "grandma can't eat, so we can only be filial to my mother!"
"My son is the best!" Ma Juhong took the apple, motioned her son to sit down, glanced at Baili and said with a smile“ Unlike some people, they don't know where they are after making some money for their family. When did our Baili family become a woman in charge? "
"Shut up!" The baililon sitting by the window drinking tea roared and startled everyone.
"Shut your mouth!" Baililong stood up, pointed to Ma Juhong and warned loudly“ If we didn't take care of the company, could our Baili family survive the disaster? Yan Ran worked hard for our Baili family? What do you know as a woman? A gossiping gossip. Do you look like an elder? "
"I don't look like an elder. You do. Keep college students outside and change one in a few months. This is what your elders look like? " Without fear, Ma Juhong openly exposed each other's shortcomings with her husband.
"Cough!" Boss Bai limo was weak and coughed to stop him. However, Bai Liqi didn't bother to meddle in other people's affairs, not to mention that she was not clean. In case you annoy Ma Juhong, that crazy woman. It's estimated that my little broken things will be revealed.
"The second brother and the second sister-in-law should say less. Every family dinner, you two quarrel. The second brother presided over the family banquet this time. He should be tolerant. Besides, Yan Ran and Ru Ge are not young. Is it interesting to quarrel in front of these young people? " Prishan ranks third and the only woman of the previous generation. I seldom attend family banquets in a year. Why I brought my husband and son here today is very interesting.
Bai Lishan married Lu Qingshu. Originally, Lu Qingshu was expected to become a senior official of the provincial Party committee. Unexpectedly, over the years, the Baili family has helped hard, but Lu Qingshu has only been the director of environmental sanitation in one district. Her son Lu Dong is Bai Lishan's only comfort. Now she is a junior at Hangzhou Normal University and is also the president of the student union of the school. Her future achievements must be above Lu Qingshu.
Over the years, prishan was embarrassed not to attend the family banquet. Although he is not short of money, his husband is not good. Not even a mayor. It's a shame to attend a family dinner. If her son Lu Dong didn't have to come this time, prishan wouldn't bother to attend the quarrelling family dinner.
"It's all sweet. My second brother and sister-in-law are not angry. I'll compensate for her instead!" Coming out of the kitchen, Lu Aoxue nodded and bowed to apologize for what had happened.
"Shame!" Seeing Lu Aoxue's waist still wearing an apron, Bai Liqi turned her head and felt her cheeks burning. If it weren't for the presence of her daughter and son, Bai Liqi would start swearing again. I didn't know what was wrong. I married a wife who liked cooking.
Although Bai Liqi's voice was not high, his attitude fell into Bai Liyan's eyes. Eyes swept over. He looked at the Playboy like a knife.
"Aoxue, don't say that either. Baililong and I are a family. We have quarreled for so many years and are used to it. Look at your face, we won't quarrel, eat quickly, and then each busy! " Ma Juhong waved her hand magnanimously and motioned Lu Aoxue to have dinner as if she had ordered her servants.
"Mom -" prissy has been sitting in the corner, whispering something with Lu Dong. The previous quarrel had long been used to, and berish didn't even raise his head. Heard Ma Juhong speak to her mother like this. Prissy stood up angrily..
"Sit down!" Lu Aoxue, who was soft on the surface, was very strict with prissy. With a scold, prissy sat down depressed.
Baili Yanran wanted to open her mouth, and finally turned to chat with her grandmother. Every family dinner starts in this unhappy way, and then ends with quarrel and dissatisfaction. If grandma hadn't insisted, the dinner would have been cancelled. Baili Yan knew that her mother wore an apron to the kitchen, mostly for herself. I only go home once a month. My mother wants her daughter to taste the dishes she cooked herself. Is it wrong?
Since she was sensible, Bai Liyan often saw her mother crying silently in the middle of the night. I've asked the reason countless times, but my mother never said it. When she grew up, every time she saw her mother's face, Bai Liyan would hate her father Bai Liqi more.
If my mother didn't marry the wrong person, how could she live in such pain. His age has reached the age of love, but Bai Liyan dare not think or try to start a relationship. Since controlling the Baili family, Baili Yan has seen all kinds of men, but few are really interested in communication.
The huge round table is enough to accommodate 30 people and 20 people to sit down. It feels cold.
The hot and cold dishes, which are beautifully made, are served. Everyone doesn't want to taste them. They often talk without saying a word.
The last dish came up at the bottom of the people's expectation. After everyone took a bite, they put down their chopsticks tacitly.
Baililong coughed and stood up to sum up the gains and losses of baililong family in the past month.
