There are two kinds of tables in the Liu family's restaurant, one is the square dining table for daily use, which Xiao Qian bought at the beginning, and the Liu family usually uses this table for daily meals. There is also a large Chinese dining table that can even be rotated in the middle, and this table is used when Liu Shi entertains friends. The daily square dining table is placed in the small dining room outside the kitchen, and out of the small dining room, there is the living room, and then there is a spiral staircase, and when you go up the stairs you are in the personal room. The room with the large Chinese dining table is on the other side of the kitchen, and if you don't want to go through the kitchen, you have to go through the small garden at the back.

Liu Shi usually entertains friends by drinking tea in the living room, then going for a walk in the garden, and finally going to the dining room for dinner.

Liu Qianqian basically copied Liu Shi's itinerary, but she was busy in the kitchen, so the living room was handed over to Du Xiao.

By the time she walked from the kitchen to the dining room with the Chinese table, her friends were already seated.

Du Xiao said: "The chef is here, and the main seat is reserved for you." ”

"Don't do this," Liu Qianqian said, "this set is not interesting." ”

"That empty seat is reserved for you," Du Xiao said, "next to me." ”

Ye Zhonghai said: "It's me on the other side, it's interesting enough." ”

Liu Qianqian said: "What do you mean, you give up a place and let Meilan sit next to me." ”

Meilan also came over and pushed him: "You go to Mr. Yun's side to sit." ”

Ye Zhonghai said: "It's really used up and thrown away." ”

Saying so, he also smiled, originally Yun Lan was sitting next to him, but now Yun Lan's position has not moved, Meilan and Ye Zhonghai have changed. As Liu Qianqian said, her family doesn't pay attention to what seats she wants, she can sit as she wants, everyone still basically sits with their most familiar friends, and the big table is full.

Liu Qianqian thought a little out of place, no wonder they liked to have children and grandchildren in the past, if the old man saw four generations of children and grandchildren sitting at a full table like this, it is estimated that his heart would feel warm.

Du Xiao said: "What do you say?"

"I won't say this," Liu Qianqian said, "on behalf of the host's family, you should toast a glass of mineral water." ”

Du Xiao said: "Although there are so many people, it is just a family gathering, they are all friends, don't be so serious, just start the meal." ”

Everyone laughed, but they were not polite, and they all started eating.

Ye Zhonghai deliberately put a bowl of sauerkraut in front of Yun Lan: "Taste it, I'll stew it." ”

"Are you stewed?" Yun Lan raised her eyebrows and looked at the bowl suspiciously.

Ye Zhonghai said: "Yes, I turned off the last fire. ”

"...... "This can also be called you stew, Yun Lan glanced at Liu Qianqian with a smile, Liu Qianqian was talking to someone, she took a little taste: "It's delicious......

Liu Qianqian didn't use any skills when she stewed, it was a wild stew in a big pot, which was this wild and unpretentious approach, which was right for Yun Lan's appetite.

Halfway through the banquet, everyone who could drink had already drunk, Liu Qianqian also drank a little, and when the banquet was over, she basically woke up.

The dining room and kitchen were handed over to the aunts to clean up, Jiang Chen and Ye Zhonghai played poker in the living room, and there were also game consoles at home, the living room was lively, Liu Qianqian and He Xuan Meilan played party games for a while, and then said to go wash up, He Xuan would stay at Liu's house tonight, and their little sisters could play until late.

Liu Qianqian returned to her room, changed into thick pajamas after washing, estimated that He Xuan and Meilan should not have done it yet, Liu Qianqian was not in a hurry to go downstairs, she walked to the balcony of the bedroom, the autumn in the city has not yet begun to be cold, but it is gradually becoming less hot, the night wind blows on the face very comfortably, and you can faintly hear the lively sound of the living room downstairs.

Liu Qianqian listened, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, laughed for a while, and sighed again.

At this time, there was a few knocks on the door, and she thought that He Xuan came over to call her: "Come right away!"

"I'm in?"

It was Du Xiao's voice.

After Liu Qianqian responded, Du Xiao walked in: "What's the matter? I didn't see you downstairs just now." ”

"Not much," Liu Qianqian said, "I'll come up and wash up and change into a set of pajamas." ”

Du Xiao said: "Your expression looks a little ......"

Liu Qianqian said: "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that it would be nice if my parents were still there." ”

Du Xiao didn't speak, just stood silently beside her, Liu Qianqian said: "I also know that so many years have passed, but in previous years, there was not much Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

She almost subconsciously avoids the festival of family reunion, and coincidentally, in the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year in recent years, Liu Qianqian is almost abroad.

This year's Chinese New Year is the same, I work at Ebenezer's side, but I spent New Year's Day with everyone, and I didn't mention the New Year in my country at all.

This may be Liu Qianqian's first serious Mid-Autumn Festival in so many years, so many friends and family, the excitement is really lively, but after the excitement, she will also think of her parents.

Liu Qianqian sighed again: "Forget it, I don't want to." ”

She can't dwell on sadness, she has to grasp the present moment and enjoy the happiness that can be obtained every day.

Du Xiao held her hand: "I understand." ”

Liu Qianqian's sadness is not only because of Liu Shi Xiao Qian, but also because the happiness does not last long.

Ye Zhonghai will not live in the Liu family forever, so will Meilan, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Meng will be old in a few years, and they will retire after all, and Grandma Rong is also old, it may not be a few years, and the people in the Liu family will gradually become less and less.

Liu Qianqian didn't want to describe it as prosperous and declining, but sadness came up, which really made her heart sour.

Du Xiao said: "And I will accompany you." Although friends have their own lives, my life and yours overlap each other, don't they?"

Liu Qianqian said, "Yes. ”

Du Xiao rubbed her head and hugged her in his arms.

Liu Qianqian leaned on his arms: "Life is like this." ”

"Yes, life is like this," Du Xiao said, "there are gatherings and scattering, there are death and life." ”

Liu Qianqian wanted to say something, but the bedroom door was pushed open all of a sudden, and He Xuan jumped in: "Why aren't you okay...... Oops!"

"Oops!" Meilan said, "I'm bothering you, hehe, let's quit first, you take your time~"

No matter how big Liu Qianqian's heart was, she made a big red face: "Okay, I'll go downstairs too." ”

She came out of Du Xiao's arms and tied her hair up: "I'm going to have a good time tonight!"

Du Xiao said: "I'm going to encourage them to gamble /// money." ”

Liu Qianqian smiled: "You want to bully Zhonghai again." ”

"He's smart, he's earned. ”

......

Different from the liveliness of the Liu family, the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Jiang family can be said to be very deserted.

Old man Jiang originally wanted to hold a family banquet, but Jiang Bin flew to the United States, Jiang Chen refused to come back at Liu's house, fortunately there was a little wife, and the old man would not live alone.

When Jiang Chen and Ye Zhonghai were playing the game of Monopoly with real money at the instigation of Du Xiao, Jiang Bin was sick in the United States.

It's no wonder that he's sick, this time it can be said that the cooked ducks are flying.

He had already smuggled Jiang Chen over, but he didn't expect to be able to do Du Xiao halfway.

It's just that he has no way to deal with Du Xiao, he is a smuggler, and Du Xiao can be said to have taken his handle.

Jiang Bin has been sick since he arrived in the United States, and there is no family around him, only the assistant takes care of him, but Mr. He still remembers it well, and came to see Jiang Bin, but Jiang Bin remembered the fire when he saw him, and the illness became serious.

He called Jiang Chen several times, but naturally he couldn't get through.

In the end, Jiang Bin, who was irritable, still called Du Heng.

Du Heng is still honest in the Du family, no matter what Du's father says, Old Man Du and Du's mother will definitely want him to go home and reunite.

In previous years, Du Xiao also had to go home, but this year he went to his girlfriend's house in advance to accompany him, and Du's mother also happily sent a lot of ingredients over, just hoping that their relationship would warm up day by day, and it was best to set a wedding date as soon as possible.

Du's mother raised two sons, and she was a little annoyed with the boy, so she wanted a granddaughter, which was cute and lovely.

Du's father originally thought that it was impossible to have no grandson, but later he was brainwashed by his wife, and seeing that Yun Lan was indeed strong, the next generation of girls stood up to the sky, boys such as Ying Zhimin, who didn't know what to mess around all day long, so he felt that his granddaughter was also very good, maybe it was better.

In addition to the Du family, Du's mother also took Mrs. Feng over, and the two families also had a lively Mid-Autumn Festival, because it was so lively, and they were all elders who loved themselves more, Du Heng felt a lot more comfortable, and when he received Jiang Bin's call, he also told him happy holidays, almost suffocating Jiang Bin's blood.

Hearing the voice on the other side of the phone, Du Heng also felt that something was wrong.

He was busy with his work for a while, and he didn't have time to take care of Du Xiao, Jiang Bin and He Yunfei's affairs, Du Heng had only heard about it, and he didn't know much about the specific situation.

Jiang Bin called him, of course, he didn't complain: "Can you make a stumbling block for Du Xiao recently?"

Du Heng said: "There is no chance. ”

Jiang Bin said: "If you don't have opportunities, you can create opportunities. ”

Du Heng said: "What does Mr. Jiang think?"

Jiang Bin said: "Can you get him to country A?"

In his own country, Jiang Bin is not easy to do after all.

Du Heng keenly sensed a danger, he thought for a while: "It's hard to say, he and Liu Qianqian are in a deep relationship now, and my mother is still thinking about calling people home to live for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much." ”

Jiang Bin didn't dwell on it much, and hung up the phone after a few polite sentences.

Du Heng returned to the living room, and it took a while to understand the meaning of Jiang Bin's words.

I don't know what Du Xiao did to Jiang Bin, which can make him feel ill.

What can Du Xiao do?

Du Heng had vaguely felt it before, but he subconsciously avoided thinking about it.

In his consciousness, Du Xiao is just a waste brother who relies on Wu Ziyao and Ying Zhimin.

But what this waste brother sometimes does, even Du Heng has to be deflated.

Is this really just relying on Wu Ziyao's strength?

If he is engaged in himself, it is because the brothers are familiar with each other, so how did Du Xiao make Jiang Bin deflated?
