Chapter 80: The Dog's Eyes Look Down on People (Part 2)
About half an hour later, Qin Wudao finally met his parents and little sister Qin Luoyin.
"Go up. ”
Father Qin Hua took the lead, and the family of four went up.
The second floor of Shengtang Hotel, peony room.
A large private room that can accommodate 30 people.
It is resplendent and luxuriously decorated.
In the innermost private room, there can be more than a dozen people, Qin Xingguo and his wife, three daughters, sons-in-law, and children.
Qin Xingguo sat inside, looking old, but full of energy, ninety-nine years old this year.
At that time, Qin Xingguo was not called Qin Xingguo, but Qin Ergou, because he participated in the war of the last century, in order to remember this period of humiliated national history, so he changed his name to Qin Xingguo, determined to serve the motherland and Xingbang.
After the war, Qin Xingguo was honorably discharged from the army because of his military exploits.
Now, at the age of ninety-nine, he was poor, and he returned to the countryside to get married and have children, because his first wife unfortunately died of illness, leaving no children, so he married his current wife at the age of thirty-eight, that is, Qin Wudao's grandmother.
It was only at the age of forty that she gave birth to her eldest daughter, and at the age of fifty-three, she had Qin Wudao's father.
Therefore, it can be regarded as an advanced age.
Although the Qin family is not a big family in Zhongnan City, and there has never been a big cadre who holds great power, but Qin Xingguo was also a powerful figure in the army when he was young, and many of his subordinates were promoted to higher positions than he was in the early years, and now even if they have been retired from the army for several years, many of their descendants have also served in the army, and their rank is not low at all, thinking of the old feelings, so the second aunt Liu Shaoxing climbed to the current position of director with the help of his father-in-law Qin Xingguo, and it is not a big cadre.
Today is Qin Xingguo's ninety-ninth birthday banquet, although according to the old man's meaning, it is not a big show, and it is enough to simply eat a meal for the family, but as Liu Shaoxing, who relies on the relationship between his father-in-law, at least he has to mean it.
And this is also a reflection of how he can simply deal with it when he is the most outstanding person in the Qin family.
At that moment, I booked a private room at the Shengtang Hotel.
It should be noted that Shengtang Hotel, as the top five-star hotel in Zhongnan City, has a minimum consumption value of no less than 30,000 yuan for a private room.
"Grandpa, why don't you order food first, everyone has basically arrived. ”
Next to Qin Xingguo, Liu Mei was persuading beside him.
"Don't worry, your fourth uncle's family hasn't arrived yet, wait first, lest the food be cold." Qin Xingguo waved his hand, his face was old, but his eyes were still bright, and he had the majesty of commanding a battle when he was young.
Liu Mei wanted to say something, but at this time, the second aunt smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiaofeng is also back today, just wait for him to eat together." ”
Hearing this, everyone else in the private room showed surprise.
Liu Feng, known as the most outstanding descendant of the third generation of the Qin family, was admitted to Dijing University the previous year, which is the pride of the Qin family.
At the moment, whether it is Qin Xingguo or several other aunts and uncles, they are all quite concerned.
"Second sister, when did Xiaofeng come back, don't say a word. The third aunt was a little reproachful, but there was a little joy between her eyebrows.
Since childhood, the third aunt's family has been quite close to the second aunt's family, of course, because Liu Shaoxing is quite valued by Qin Xingguo, his own ability is enough, and he is the best family among everyone.
The third aunt's family, who has always hated the poor and loved the rich, is naturally very close to the second aunt's family.
mentioned his son Liu Feng, Liu Shaoxing's face was full of pride: "He also rushed back because of his grandfather's birthday." ”
The most outstanding third-generation grandson rushed back because of his birthday, Qin Xingguo was naturally very happy, and said: "Okay, I haven't seen Xiaofeng for a long time, I heard that he is starting a business in school, I don't know how to start a business?"
Everyone also looked at Liu Shaoxing's family, and it was naturally extraordinary to be able to start a business at Dijing University.
Xiao Feng has just started his business, but I heard him say that he has successfully started a company in Dijing with several students from Teikyo University, and has just received a business of five million. Liu Shaoxing waved his hand, seemingly calm, but in fact, anyone could see the color in his eyes.
At the beginning of the business, I received 5 million in business, which is already very powerful.
It must be known that Liu Feng is only a sophomore this year, and his studies are at their busiest time, and he can still start a company and win a business of five million, which can be described as a promising future.
At this time, the door of the private room opened, and it was Qin Wudao's family.
"Dad!"
"Grandpa!"
The family greeted Qin Xingguo.
"It's good to be here. ”
Qin Xingguo nodded with a smile and beckoned them to sit down quickly.
Seeing that the three generations are basically in the same house, it is naturally the scene that the old people like to see the most, and they are very happy.
It's just that when his eyes swept over Qin Wudao, he obviously found that this grandson had changed, taller and more robust, which was quite different from the past.
In particular, the calm and natural temperament, which was different and particularly eye-catching, surprised him a little.
It's just that the other three aunts, except for the second aunt who smiled and said that she was here, everyone else turned a blind eye, including those cousins and sisters, as if they didn't see it, and they didn't bother to say hello, and they were very indifferent.
Qin Xingguo said to Liu Mei beside him: "Order and serve." ”
"Order, everyone's hungry. ”
Liu Shaoxing did not refuse, although Liu Feng had not yet arrived, he had to take care of the old man and two relatives, as for Qin Wudao's family, he directly ignored it.
Qin Wudao sat down, his gaze swept over the three generations of the Qin family at the large round table.
Grandpa, grandmother, aunt's family of nine, second aunt's family of three, third aunt's family of four, plus Qin Wudao's family of four, a full twenty-two.
If you add Liu Feng, who has not yet arrived, it is twenty-three people, and it can be regarded as a prosperous person.
What's more, the eldest aunt is the oldest, she is also sixty-nine years old this year, and several children in the family have married, married, and grandchildren, and there are as many as nine people who have come here, which is the most.
Although the Qin family did not have many high-level cadres, they were taken care of because of Qin Xingguo's comrade-in-arms back then, and now the eldest aunt's family runs a supermarket, the eldest son Zeng Yang is a small cadre in the system, and the rest of the children are also corporate executives, with a rich and stable income compared to ordinary people, and good welfare.
Needless to say, the second aunt's family is a powerful cadre, and the eldest son Liu Feng is a student of Dijing University, and he has successfully started a business during his time in school.
The youngest daughter Liu Mei is also a top student, and it is not a problem to be admitted to a key university.
The husband and wife of the third aunt family are also iron rice bowls in the system, and a pair of children have been admitted to key universities in the province and are about to graduate.
In the end, I arrived at Qin Wudao's family, which was also the poorest one.
Father Qin Hua is the youngest, and because of his low education, his personality is dull and honest, although Qin Xingguo has also given a lot of help with the help of relationships over the years, it is a pity that Qin Hua has not been able to grasp it well.
I didn't get married until I was thirty years old, and now I'm forty-six years old, and because of my life, I look like a man in my fifties, with more than half gray hair.
It is not difficult for mother Yang Yun to see that she was a beauty when she was young, but unfortunately she was also destroyed by the years, and she was clearly thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and now she looks like she is in her early fifties.
The two often work overtime until 10:11 p.m., and they also work overtime from time to time on Saturdays and Sundays, so they seem older than their peers.
Because the education level of the two is not high, the father is dull and honest, and he doesn't know how to make friends, so the family lives a relatively average life.
It is precisely because of this that the three aunts' families are also quite contemptuous of Qin Wudao's family, despise them, and do not take them seriously.
Fortunately, grandfather Qin Xingguo saw it in his eyes, and he lived in the deep mountains from time to time to bring some mountain specialties to Qin Wudao's family, and the second aunt also took good care of Qin Wudao's family.
At the birthday dinner, Qin Wudao's family was directly left out in the cold.
Even the children of the three aunts' families are quite disdainful of Qin Hua and Yang Yun's two uncles and aunts, and they don't have much respect, and many people don't even bother to say a word.
Grandfather Qin Xingguo and the second aunt would occasionally say a word or two to Qin Hua and a few others, and the others didn't even look at it.
That's how the dog looks down on people.
Fortunately, I have been used to it for many years.
Qin Luoyin was young, and she was indignant and dissatisfied with the attitude of these people, and she wanted to say that her brother Qin Wudao had already made a lot of money, and he gave it 50,000 yuan of pocket money.
But Qin Wudao motioned to her, and she just didn't say it.
The serving speed of the Shengtang Hotel is very fast, and after ten minutes, the dishes will be served, and a plate of dishes that look very delicate and attractive will be served one after another, and they will be placed on the round table turntable.
Plates of dishes, all of which are delicacies from the mountains and seas, obviously the price of this birthday banquet must be very expensive.
During this period, the third aunt Qin Lan smiled at Liu Shaoxing and said, "Second brother-in-law, open a private room to eat in the Shengtang Hotel, I'm afraid it's not cheap to eat a meal." ”
Liu Mei said proudly: "Sangu, this is natural, you must know that this is the most high-end five-star hotel in Zhongnan City, which belongs to the Li Group, and it is more advanced than Zhongnan Hotel, even if it is a dine-in buffet, it costs 8881, and this kind of private room can only be won with at least 30,000 yuan." ”
There was an uproar in the private room.
The minimum consumption is at least 30,000 yuan, for many families, but the parents add up to half a year's income, and this is just the money for a meal.
Especially the eyes of more than a dozen people from the eldest aunt's family and the third aunt's family looked at Liu Shaoxing differently, maybe 30,000 is not much for Liu Shaoxing, but it is also quite a lot for them.
Qin Hua and Yang Yun were silent and didn't say a word.
Although Qin Luoyin was a little surprised, she had long been accustomed to the arrogance of her second aunt's family, and as for Qin Wudao, she had no waves.
It's just 30,000, and he doesn't care at all.
For him, money is just a simple number.
More than 20 members of the Qin family began to eat.
Everyone chatted, but basically they talked about Liu Shaoxing's family, and the eldest aunt and the third aunt were quite sycophant, and from time to time they talked in a flattering tone.
During this period, we talked about learning.
The aunt smiled and asked Liu Mei about her academic performance: "Mei'er, how are your grades now?"
