No matter how many years have passed, as long as there is a major banquet at home, the choice of Hong Kong people is generally the most upscale restaurant by the sea. Even if you don't have a lot of money, if you come here to have a meal, it is enough to save the family's face in front of the guests.

The Qiao family invited the Liang family to this meal, which would almost cost Li Lanzhi a month's salary. No matter what the Liang family would think, the Qiao family had done their best.

Moreover, Lao Qiao not only invited his brother-in-law, who had a head and face in Hong Kong City, but also invited his poor mother-in-law, wife and brother to come over. This banquet is related to Qiao Lu's lifelong event, so he called all his important relatives.

After arriving in Hong Kong City, Liang Hui kept complaining that the wind in Hong Kong City was too strong, and the beach was bare, and there was nothing. The slogans written on those tourist signboards are probably all deceptive.

Father Liang closed his eyes and endured her all the way, until he arrived at the door of the hotel, and before getting out of the car, he said: "It's okay for you to complain outside, if you say these things in front of Qiao's family, be careful...... Beware of me losing my temper with you!"

Although Liang's father did not indicate his identity, their group was extraordinary, especially Liang Hui, a first-line brand from head to toe, which simply blinded everyone's eyes. For Liang Hui, such a hotel is indeed not high-end, but when it comes to finding such a magnificent place in this "small fishing village", the Qiao family is indeed attentive.

Lao Qiao greeted the Liang family all the way, in his eyes, although Liang's father was smiling, he was very cautious in his every move, and refused to express his emotions easily; Liang's mother was a kind old lady, who had no arrogance, and spoke in an authentic Beijing accent. The only thing that Qiao Jianjun minded was their daughter Liang Hui.

Seeing Liang Hui was like seeing a middle-aged Song Minrou, wearing sunglasses, holding her head high, shaking hands with her, and she just smiled politely. When she stepped into the private room and saw the group of plainly dressed relatives, she only smiled politely.

Because he was reluctant to marry his daughter, Lao Qiao ate very heavily at that meal. According to the rules of Hong Kong City, Lao Qiao was the "main escort" that day, and his brother-in-law, that is, the little brother-in-law, was the "deputy escort". The main escort is not active, but the deputy escort has fulfilled his responsibilities thoroughly. From beginning to end, the little brother-in-law has been enlivening the atmosphere. But Liang's father and Liang's mother always smiled faintly, and the little brother-in-law didn't know whether the method of accompanying a businessman like him was suitable for the two old men.

The meal was almost finished, Liang's father gradually found out some information, and after learning that his sister-in-law's youngest daughter had been married, he smiled faintly: "When you marry your daughter, you are very reluctant, right?"

"I don't know why, I always think of her when she was born at the wedding, such a small mess...... I have worked so hard to raise her so much, but I want to give her to others, can I feel better?"

After the little brother-in-law finished speaking, Father Liang looked at Lao Qiao and said, "Presumably Brother Qiao is in the same mood, right?"

Qiao Jianjun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I'm very reluctant, but marrying a daughter doesn't necessarily have to be so uncomfortable." After all, there is a new home in the family, and it is very lively, which is also very good!"

Liang's father took the opportunity to say: "Getting married, the man's family has an extra daughter, and the woman's family has an extra son, which is indeed a festive thing." ”

Oh, this old fox has come to Hong Kong City in person, and he didn't mention the marriage first, and went around in circles. Lao Qiao is not a fool, especially when it comes to major matters involving his daughter, he is even more reluctant to let go easily. Although the Liang family is quite easy-going, subconsciously, they still feel that they are "condescending". Old Joe is not used to their problems, he can't let anyone look down on Qiao Lu.

Qiao Lu saw that her parents were not very interested, and thought that they were overwhelmed by the momentum of the Liang family. She is not yet a mother and cannot understand her parents' minds. But the grandmother, who had been silent, said: "When a man marries a woman, you have to find the right person to say that it is a happy event." Therefore, as parents, they always want to choose a wishful husband for their daughter and choose a good family for her, so that they can marry her off with confidence. ”

Only then did the Liang family notice this simple old man, and grandma was not timid, she said very slowly, but very clearly: "I married two daughters, and every time I have mixed feelings. The eldest married someone is okay, Jianjun is from a neighboring village, although his life experience is a little harder, but he knows the roots, and he is very relieved to marry his daughter to him. Even if I have to live a hard life, I am down-to-earth and willing to help them, and they are also very competitive...... Yi Zhi, why don't you talk about it?"

The sister-in-law laughed: "Oh, don't mention the old things again, it's been so many years, and now that I think about it, it still makes people blush!"

"There's nothing to blush about. Grandma smiled: "At that time, I thought, our family is too different from the Song family, if the second child marries, in case I get angry, what can I do? Later, Yi Zhi, the kid, came to our house, and actually gave me a Chengmen Lixue, shivering from the cold, and promised me that he would be good to Li Lanlan for the rest of his life......"

Li Lanlan also blushed and interrupted her mother's words: "Mom, don't say it! It's been so long......"

Grandma insisted: "You two have been married for so many years, and you are living a good life, I am happy for you." But even so, in the past few years of marriage, you have suffered a lot. Alas, when I think of this, I feel very bad in my heart, and I feel sorry for you. Fortunately, you are doing well, and your in-laws have been very good to you later...... Okay, those old things can be let go. ”

Grandma said it very cleverly, but the Liang family are all smart people, and they quickly understood. My aunt married into a family with a huge disparity, and she was unhappy at first, but "later" she was recognized by her in-laws. Every mother probably doesn't want her daughter to suffer this kind of grievance!

For people like Liang's father, who have to go through every word in their minds three times every time they say a word, grandma's words are still too straightforward, and they are not afraid of offending them. But Liang's mother smiled and said, "Don't worry, if Qiao Lu marries into our family, we will definitely be reluctant to let her be wronged." ”

Well, the Liang family finally relented first, and the rest is easy to say. After eating, the sister-in-law arranged the itinerary and took them for a ride on an island. Although the sun was warm, the wind was still a little stronger for Liang's father. Lao Qiao took the initiative to propose that they go out to play, and he accompanied Liang's father to find a place to drink tea.

The sister-in-law understood and immediately arranged a place for them. The two fathers finally sat down together, and they could talk to each other. Lao Qiao took the initiative to make tea, but Liang's father didn't expect that he, a rough man, actually knew the order of the tea ceremony well, and after a set of operations, it could be called smooth.

Old Joe took the initiative to speak, he stayed in the south for a long time when he was young, and before he knew it, he learned to drink kung fu tea. When I was young, I always felt that it was too troublesome to drink tea like that, but now that I am old, I can realize the doorway, and drinking tea is more delicious.

From the beginning of the meeting, Lao Qiao has had a hard time for the title. It doesn't seem appropriate to call him "Minister Liang"? He is old, and his identity is there, is it offensive to call him "big brother"? So, just now, Lao Qiao kept calling him "you", and when he arrived at the tea room, he asked: "I'll call you big brother, okay?"

Father Liang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled heartily: "We are more than twenty years old, and it stands to reason that we should be inferior." If it weren't for the children, I wouldn't be embarrassed to take your 'big brother' at my age. ”

Father Liang didn't seem to be so unapproachable, Lao Qiao also let go, and laughed: "I didn't expect that one day I would be able to call a brother and sister to someone like you!"

Father Liang smiled and said: "Brother Qiao, when you were young, you traveled from south to north, and you were a good man! Listen to Qiao Lu, you have also been on the battlefield? My brother is also from the army, and he is a few years older than you, maybe there will be an intersection!"

"Haha, I'm not that good. I didn't go to military school, I was just an ordinary soldier. I was in the 40th Army...... Alas, it was very bitter back then, but fortunately, my close comrades-in-arms came back alive. has been on the battlefield, but I don't care so much about fame and fortune, live well, and when I get old, I can see each other often, and this life is worth it. ”

"Brother, you have such a good attitude, no wonder you can teach three very talented children. ”

Lao Qiao said modestly: "The three of them are quite motivated, but they have a chance...... This standard is different, but in my eyes, the three of them are really competitive. ”

Liang's father sighed: "Everyone has a different background, and the platform is also different. It is indeed not easy for the three children of the Qiao family to get to where they are today. Dude, do you know what impressed me the most?"

"What?"

"Some time ago, Liang Zheng was too busy to come back, I asked Qiao Lu, don't you have any complaints about him? Maybe when he needs him the most, he is still running around. Guess what Qiao Lu said? She said that after my brother joined the army, every time he came back, my dad would always say a word to him. 'If you have the ability, you will serve the country, but if you don't...... Then come back and do your filial piety. You should be quite capable, so let's go out with peace of mind! Qiao Lu said that she remembered this sentence, Liang Zheng was also doing things for the country, and she didn't want to hold him back. ”

Old Joe was stunned, he did say this, but he didn't expect the children to remember it so clearly. Liang's father said slowly: "I just thought, what kind of mind does the parent who can still say this say now? No wonder his son can join the army without hesitation, no wonder his daughter has chosen a path of becoming a powerful country in science and technology, and no wonder the three children are very sensible...... If I can get married to such a family, it will be a great blessing for me!"

"I've won awards, I've not read many books, and I've disciplined the three of them, especially the second one, too harshly. I don't expect them to be much of a climate, and if they can be honest and do a good job, I will be satisfied. ”

The two opened the conversation box and couldn't stop talking. Lao Qiao is really reluctant to marry Qiao Lu, Qiao Lu saved money and helped the family pay off debts, Liang's father knew for the first time, he said emotionally: "Brother, marry Qiao Lu to our family, you can rest assured." She will only be blessed, not suffering. ”

With Liang's father's statement, Lao Qiao was also relieved, and he didn't have to worry about her being looked down upon. What is difficult for him to let go of is still the fact that Qiao Lu wants to be a stepmother. But what else can she do? She has already decided to marry Liang Zheng, and the rest can only depend on herself.
