Chapter 139 The jiang family birthday party
They chatted in the shop until six o' clock, and Li Jianguo came back from the next room. Seeing that the children were not back, he asked, "Li Tao, the four of them are not back yet?"
There were three of them, but now there was another Wang Tiao. The four of them got up early and went out to make money every day. They were more motivated than they were.
"Not yet. At five o' clock, Li Tao came back and took over twenty pounds of wrapped cat ears. He said business was good today. They put in more popsicles and came back half an hour later." Liu Fen answered him with a smile.
Li Jianhua chuckled, "They're addicted to making money these days. Last night, the four of them were still hiding in the house counting the money. They were all laughing so hard that they almost cramped up. I walked over and looked at the boxes. There were dozens of piles of dimes in the boxes. I asked them how much they had earned in the past few days, and the four of them covered their mouths in tacit agreement."
"Haha, they must have made a lot of money. These kids are very active and will be successful in the future." Uncle liu laughed happily.
Li Jianguo went into the tea room to wash his face and came out. He said to them, "Go back to the dormitory first. I'll go and pick them up. The security around the station is not very good. There are a lot of thieves and pickpockets."
At this time, Li Tao and the others were really hit by his words. Just after selling a box of popsicles, Wang Tiao, who was walking in the back, was targeted. It was the same routine. A seven or eight year old boy suddenly rushed over, pretended to bump into him accidentally, and then stole the money from Wang Tiao's pocket.
Wang Tiao was so angry that his eyes were red. He was going to find the thief and beat him up, but Li Tao stopped him. "Brother jue, forget it. Just sell this box of popsicles for nothing. Be careful in the future."
"Yes, brother tiao, stop chasing after him. That day, sister haitang called and told us that there were many thieves and pickpockets around here with knives. She met them that day. Forget it if you lose this bit of money. It would be bad if you got into trouble with someone with a knife." Li Yang, who was braver and smaller, was a little scared at the thought of the scene, so he had to persuade him.
Duan Jinqiao also came over to persuade him, "Brother jue, listen to them. Fortunately, most of the money we earn every day is sent back when we go back to get the goods. Even if he steals this today, there is not much. We'll learn a lesson tomorrow. We'll split the money between four people and not all of them. Even if this happens again in the future, we won't lose much at once."
"Yes, that's it." Li Tao carried the foam box in one hand, put one hand on his shoulder, and carried him forward. "Come on, go back. It's almost half an hour late today. The family will be worried."
They came by bike, picked up their bikes in the parking lot not far away, and two big ones took two small ones home. On the way, he met Li Jianguo who came to pick them up and told him about the thief he had just met. Li Jianguo praised them for their actions.
Li Haitang, from the capital city, was already eating authentic peking fried noodles at a small restaurant. It was still the familiar and nostalgic taste. In this era, the store owner was honest in business. A bowl of noodles with soy sauce was a big bowl, covered with a thick layer of soy sauce, which made people have a good appetite. Her stomach swelled up slightly after a bowl of noodles with soy sauce.
After eating and drinking her fill, she wandered around the nearby streets as if she were eating. After living for so many days, she knew that there was a military compound nearby, and the security of the street was quite good. She was not afraid of any safety problems while walking alone.
When the last light of the day disappeared, she slowly returned to the hotel, took a bath, and picked up the books she had bought this morning to read.
At this time, the The jiang family in the military compound not far away was having a birthday party.
Today was tuesday, Jiang Baichuan's birthday. During the day, the adults of the The jiang family had to work, so the family dinner was arranged at night.
Jiang Chuyan and Jiang Chuke both brought their son over to celebrate their father's birthday tonight. Jiang Chuheng was in charge of shopping today. Chu Xiaoman was at home helping Chu Hongmei and Auntie wu make a big birthday party. Jiang Chuqi, who had been busy at the company all day, called his father during the day and came back at night with a man who insisted on following him.
Gao Xuan, of course, came along. After studying abroad for a few years and now working for another two years, his face was not as thin as when he was a student. In addition, with jiang chuheng and chu xiaoman's disguised approval, he also recognized his own intentions, and Jiang Chuqi's attitude these days also eased a little, he decided to take advantage of the hot iron to speed up the matter between them. He came along just in time for this opportunity.
Gao Xuan's arrival surprised the jiang family at first, but they were all happy for Jiang Chuqi, especially Jiang Baichuan.
Knowing that he was not married before, and that his girlfriend who had been with him for a year had already broken up at the beginning of the year, the misunderstanding between him and Chu Qi had now been cleared up, and that he wanted to pursue her again, Jiang Baichuan was very happy in his heart. Knowing his daughter as a father, he could guess what Jiang Chuqi was thinking. Now that the two of them had been walking around together for so many years, he was happy for them. As for Gao Xuan's character, family background, work and so on, he did not investigate, he believed in his daughter's vision.
Although both Jiang Chuyan and Jiang Chuke had heard of gao xuan's name and had never met him before, they both felt good about him at this meeting. Since their sister agreed to start dating again, their sister-in-law was naturally supportive.
The only person in the family who didn't look well was Chu Hongmei, but this time she didn't say anything. She had seen through her daughter's mind. In the past six months, she had found someone to introduce her to a lot of good candidates for blind dates, but she did not look at them at all, and now she brought Gao Xuan back without telling her family any news, which meant that she recognized Gao Xuan. If she was willing to be with Gao Xuan, it meant that she had plans to get married. If she didn't say much, let her be.
When the dishes were ready and everyone was seated, Jiang Zitong looked at the two red minced fish heads in the middle of the big round table with sparkling eyes. With exaggerated wordiness, he swallowed, "Wow, little uncle, did you make this minced fish head? It looks delicious."
Jiang Chuheng showed his hand during the spring festival. His chili fish head was a huge fan. Today's dad's birthday, his mother gave him this task early in the morning. Naturally, he went into the kitchen again and smiled gently, "Yes, I made it. I was afraid you didn't have enough to eat. I made two fish heads."
"I want to eat fish mouth." The youngest, jiang zicong, stretched out his chopsticks and tried to pick it up, but the table was too big and his hands were too short to pick it up.
Xia Yuping pulled him back and said with a smile, "Zi cong, sit down. Mom will give you a clip."
The little uncle did a good job. Both father and son liked to eat fish mouths. Two of them were enough for each other. She took one of them into a bowl of jiang baichuan and said, "Dad, yuping took advantage of chu heng's good skills to present food to buddha. Happy birthday to dad. Every day, she smiles a lot."
"Hehe, okay." Jiang Baichuan smiled happily and said, "Give zi cong another fish mouth."
"Thank you, grandpa." Jiang Zicong's eyes were glued to the fish's mouth.
Jiang Zitong pouted and said, "I don't want a fish mouth. Mom, I want fisheye. You guys don't eat it anyway. Give me all four eyes."
Xie Fangfei chuckled, "Okay."
Jiang Chuqi picked up some other dishes and asked him jokingly, "Zitong, do you know what four eyes mean?"
"I don't know." The child looked confused.
Jiang Chuqi pointed at his glasses and asked, "How many eyes do you think auntie has now?"
"Two!" Jiang Zitong answered sincerely, then rolled his eyes and suddenly burst into an exaggerated laugh, "Haha, there are four. You have glasses, and there are four eyes."
Jiang Chuqi chuckled, "Do you still want to eat four fish eyes?"
"Eat." The little boy answered without thinking. He looked around the table and said with a smile, "There are many people with four eyes in this room. You are all monsters."
"Haha..." This little guy is really a ghost, making everyone laugh.
"Hey, don't all just eat Brother Four's chili fish head. Try this braised pork trotter I made. After six months of trial and error, the taste is much better than before, no worse than in the restaurant outside." Chu Xiaoman was the first to give a piece to his elders. "Father of Aunt, auntie, have a taste."
"Okay. Xiao man's cooking is getting better and better. Your pig's feet are really good." Jiang Baichuan came from a military background and had a heavy diet. His family also liked to eat spicy food and politely invited guests, "Gao Xuan, don't be polite. Eat more."
Gao Xuan had just won the unanimous approval of the jiang family and was much more relaxed now. He smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"Chu heng, you should have called your friend Li Haitang over for dinner today." Jiang Chuqi looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly remembered that her brother was obviously interested in that girl. It was okay to bring her back today to see her parents first.
Jiang Baichuan stopped his chopsticks and said, "Yes, chu heng, why didn't you bring her here? She lives in Meritus Mandarin Hotel. It's very close. You can pick her up now."
Jiang chuheng shook his head, "Forget it. She's not in a good mood today. Let her be alone."
"Brother Four, what's wrong with her?" Chu Xiaoman didn't know what happened today.
Jiang Chuheng simply said, "Her biological parents came to the hotel this morning, found her, and did something I couldn't explain. She didn't show anything on her face, so she should be very upset. Give her some space to calm down." In fact, he had been worried about her, so he told Ji Dongming to take her to relax, and he didn't bother her.
"Isn't it her first time in the capital? How did her biological parents find her so quickly?" Jiang Chuqi asked curiously.
Jiang Chuheng didn't say it, because Chu Xiaoman was the first to tell what happened yesterday, and finally sighed, "Who knew it was such a coincidence that she had never seen her biological parents before, but they looked so alike that they recognized each other at a glance. She was in a bad mood yesterday. The other party came to her house today. It seems that she has done something bad."
"I see. Forget it. She's all alone. I'm sure she'll feel even worse when she sees us all reunited." Jiang Chuqi, on the other hand, did not ask about what happened today. He was very sympathetic to Li Haitang's background.
This was what jiang chuheng was thinking about. She seemed very strong on the surface, but in fact, she was very fragile in the heart. Let her be alone at this time. He will visit her tomorrow morning.
For the first time tonight, Chu Hongmei didn't say anything else. He kept on serving Jiang Baichuan and his two grandchildren. He was also telling the other children to eat. Of course, Gao Xuan was not left behind.
What Gao Xuan was most worried about was Chu Hongmei's attitude. Now that she was welcoming herself warmly, she agreed to their relationship again and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Although she had gone a little overboard, he could understand her. Now that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, he had his own problems. His elders had already cleared up the past, so he would naturally forget it and get along well with them in the future.
After this meeting with the jiang family, the jiang family was much easier to get along with than expected. They had no problem with him and Chu Qi continuing to associate. Instead, they were very happy, which was to acknowledge them. It seemed that he had to hurry up to discuss the marriage with Chu Qi and get his marriage certificate as soon as possible. Thinking of this, the smile on his face became more and more brilliant, and he even picked up food for Jiang Chuqi from time to time, laughing foolishly.
Jiang Chuqi, who was sitting next to him, clearly felt that he was very happy. She ate all the dishes he had brought and smiled generously at the teasing eyes of her two sisters-in-law. It was not easy to meet the right person. Since they had never let go of each other and had the opportunity to be together, she would not miss the opportunity.
