Chapter Seventy-Five: It's Raining Again!
The guests came, the crackling crackles outside The crackling firecrackers were set off, and the birthday banquet officially began.
Everyone was seated, and when Zhuang Ziqiu saw that Tian Zao was not here, he asked the old lady to know that Tian Zao had gone to cook dumplings. Just let Qu Mingzhe invite Tian Jujube over, and let the chef cook the dumplings.
Qu Mingzhe came to the back kitchen to explain the situation, and pulled Tian Zao out of the kitchen.
Tian Zao was directly brought to the old lady's table by Qu Mingzhe. This table is full of Zhuang family, Tian Zao is a little embarrassed to sit here, I wanted to change the table to sit, but was pressed by the old lady. "You sit next to me today, I don't have much to say to you!"
When the other guests saw the girl sitting next to the old lady, they guessed her identity.
Xin Zhitai, who was not far away, saw Tian Zao sitting down next to the old lady, and his heart was a little more comfortable!
After the host on the stage finished his opening remarks, Zhuang Ziqiu tidied up his clothes and went to the stage to speak.
"Today is the ninth day of the first lunar month, and it is also my grandmother's 80th birthday, on behalf of my whole family, I thank my relatives and friends for comingγγγγγγ" Zhuang Ziqiu's words were finished, and warm applause broke out below, Zhuang Ziqiu is worthy of being the president of the newspaper, and even his speech is wrinkled, and many women below are full of admiration.
A large cake with several layers was pushed by the waiter, Qu Mingzhe helped the old lady to the cake, and the Zhuang family gathered around. The waiter turned off the lights in the hall, and in the dim light of the candles, everyone sang a birthday song for the old lady, and the old lady made a wish, and the whole family gathered around to help the old lady blow out the candles.
The lights in the hall turned on again, the old lady cut the cake herself, the waiter divided the plates of cakes for the guests to eat, and the banquet began to be served!
Plates of delicacies were served by the waiters in waves. Everyone started, but Xin Zhitai was not in the mood to eat at all, and glanced towards Tian Zao's table from time to time.
The old lady really didn't have much appetite, but she only sandwiched a few times in front of the table full of dishes. When the waiter brought the fennel-stuffed dumplings, the old lady looked at the flower-like dumplings, took a bite of them, and couldn't stop.
"That's the taste, it's so delicious, you all can taste it too!" said the old lady and gave a dumpling to her grandson.
Zhuang Ziqiu tasted it and said that it was delicious! A large plate of dumplings will bottom out in a while. Zhuang Ziqiu ate a few bites of food, and then went with his father to toast the guests.
Almost two hours later, the guests were all full of wine and food, and they all left one after another. Zhuang Ziqiu and Qu Mingzhe were still standing at the entrance of the hall to see off the guests. The guests appreciated Zhuang Ziqiu's act of personally welcoming and sending off guests.
After thinking about it, Tian Zao still came to Xin Zhitai, she wanted to see how Xin Zhitai explained to her!, "Atai, it's not too early, let's go home?"
Xin Zhitai was also thinking about whether to go to Tian Zao, but he didn't expect Tian Zao to come to him. Xin Zhitai saw Tian Zao coming over and quickly stood up. "Okay, I'm full, too! I'm about to go to you!"
"Atai, won't you introduce this young lady to me?" Shen Mengqi next to Xin Zhitai also stood up, she stared at Tian Zao and asked.
"Hello, I'm Xin Zhitai's wife, Tian Zao, it's nice to meet you, let's go, let's go back together!" Tian Zao looked at Shen Mengqi and introduced directly. Although Tian Zao was very angry at Xin Zhitai's deception, she did not show any unhappy expression at this time!
After Tian Zao finished introducing, he didn't pay attention to Shen Mengqi's reaction, but took Xin Zhitai's arm and left first. Shen Mengqi also hurriedly picked up the bag and chased after him.
Tian Zao pulled Xin Zhitai to greet the old lady and walked to the entrance of the hall. "Mr. Zhuang, thank you for your dress, I'll return it after cleaning, this is my husband Xin Zhitai, he also came, let's go back first!" Tian Zao took Xin Zhitai's arm and Zhuang Ziqiu said.
"You don't have to return the dress, just take it as my thank you gift, thank you for cooking dinner for my grandma, and accompanying my grandma for so long, you see how happy my grandma is today!" Zhuang Ziqiu looked at Tian Zao with a smile and said, he only glanced at Xin Zhitai during the whole process, but he ignored Xin Zhitai, accompanied other women to the party, and was so intimate, and quarreled with his wife on a rainy night, he had a very bad impression of Xin Zhitai!
"Sister, don't forget what you promised me!" Qu Mingzhe suddenly walked over and pulled Tian Zao and said.
"I won't forget it, you can just call me then" Tian Zao patted Qu Mingzhe's hand, and pulled Xin Zhitai downstairs again. Shen Mengqi stepped on the hating sky and followed cautiously, but in her heart she was making her own little calculations
γ
"How do I feel so familiar with my sister's husband!" Qu Mingzhe looked at their backs and muttered to himself!
The three of them walked to the side of the park, and Tian Zao sat directly in the passenger seat! Shen Mengqi had no choice but to sit in the back seat when she saw it. But there are a thousand discomforts in my heart.
"Atai, let's send this young lady back first!" Tian Zao closed his eyes and went to sleep after speaking.
"Miss Tian, are you always friends with that Zhuang?" Shen Mengqi leaned forward and asked Tian Zao very politely.
"Sort of, but I'm not familiar with him, we've only met three times, what, are you familiar with him?"
"Not familiar, then do you know what Zhuang always does, his family background?" Shen Mengqi continued to ask.
"I don't know, the friends we met in Pingshui are not looking for a husband, why do I ask so many people?
"Atai, call me when you get home, I feel so sleepy! I'll sleep for a while!" Tian Zao closed his eyes again after speaking.
Shen Mengqi originally wanted to get to know Zhuang Ziqiu through Tian Zao, so that she could easily appear on the cover of the Starry Sky Newspaper, and she could also become popular, but now she didn't mean to help herself when she saw Tian Zao, and she was embarrassed to ask anything.
"Atai, do you have any other friends who know Mr. Zhuang? If you do, please help me introduce me, being able to appear on the cover of his company's newspaper is a shortcut to the success of the artist. β
"It's been a few years since you debuted, isn't it good to be like this now? You play the role well, the audience recognizes it, those bosses will find you, don't take any shortcuts all day long!" Xin Zhitai said as he drove.
"What's good, it's all supporting roles, who knows me when I walk on the street, the good film sources and good roles in the company are all distributed to those famous actors, how can I have anything to do!"
Although Tian Zao closed her eyes, she didn't actually fall asleep at all, she just didn't want to talk to Shen Mengqi so she pretended to be asleep, a current and an ex, is there anything to talk about between the two?
She heard all their conversations, and it turned out that she wanted to take a shortcut to become famous. But she really can't help, there is a good saying, "Is it difficult for a gentleman not to be strong?" Even if a good friend is at work, she doesn't like to interfere!
Sent Shen Mengqi back to his residence, when the two returned to Tian Zao's residence, Xin Zhitai just parked the car, Tian Zao opened the door and got out of the car and left first, ignoring Xin Zhitai at all, she would wait for him in the past, and the two went back together. Xin Zhitai parked the car and hurriedly chased after it!
"Tian Zao, listen to me, I really didn't mean to hide from you, I really wanted to accompany the customer tonight, but the customer didn't come, Meng Qi went to the company to find me, I was forced to accompany her! Now she and I are really just ordinary friends!" Xin Zhitai hurriedly pulled Tian Zao to explain as soon as he entered the room.
"Okay, I'll believe you for the time being, Atai, I still hope you can keep your distance from Shen Mengqi, if I still contact my boyfriend who has lived with me every day, what would you think in your heart?
She knew, she actually knew! When did she know, this woman really had something to do in her heart! Xin Zhitai smoked a few cigarettes outside before entering the bedroom, Tian Zao just came out of the bathroom, didn't pay much attention to her, dried her hair and lay down to sleep.
Tian Zao originally wanted to lose his temper with Xin Zhitai, but if he thought about it carefully, it was nothing for his friends to attend a banquet together, and it was not good for the husband and wife to be angry about a little thing, so they finally endured it and lay down to sleep unhappily.
Xin Zhitai came back from a shower, looked at Tian Zao, who had his back to him, and didn't want to take care of him at all, so he had to lie down and sleep boringly. When he approached Tian Zao and was about to hug Tian Zao, he was pushed away by Tian Zao. "I'm tired, let's rest early!"
"I just want to sleep, but I can't sleep if I don't hug you!" Tian Zao pushed him away a few times, and he was cheeky and hugged him again, and finally Tian Zao went by him.
Tian Zao looked at her sleeping husband in her arms through the faint light, but she couldn't help but feel melancholy in her heart, she heard the conversation between Xin Zhitai and Shen Mengqi all the way in the car. The two have a lot of topics to talk about, and they are so familiar with each other. It seems that there is still a constant parting between the two!
If Shen Mengqi turned back again, what would Xin Zhitai do? Tian Zao lay on the bed and tossed and turned thinking about this question. lost his temper with himself for a pair of shoes and some photos, and his position in Xin Zhitai's heart was really inferior to Shen Mengqi.
In reality, those men abandoned their wives and children for their first love and ex, and the more Tian Zao thought about it, the more afraid he became. After worrying for a long time, Tian Zao firmly believed that Xin Zhitai was not that kind of person, Tian Zao comforted himself for a long time, and finally fell asleep.
The next day, Tian Zao still got up very early and prepared a rich breakfast for Xin Zhitai. Tian Zao has always been open-minded, and last night's bad mood was actually adjusted by himself.
Tian Zhitai woke up and saw the clothes that had been prepared at the head of the bed, and knew that Tian Zao was no longer angry. After washing, seeing the rich breakfast on the table, Xin Zhitai praised Tian Zao eight times in his heart, she is really a virtuous and kind woman.
