...

Last year, Grandma's birthday was just a simple family of five having a casual meal, but this year is different, not only with the grandfather, but even the uncle who has been in the United States for more than ten years has returned to Hong Kong.

With so many people, even a new house may not be able to sit down.

Therefore, Huo Chengcai booked two tables of banquets in a nearby restaurant half a month in advance.

Zhang Wanting took out the birthday gift that had been prepared a long time ago with a smile on her face, handed it to her grandmother, and said: "I wish my aunt and grandmother good fortune as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan, this is a gift from your niece and granddaughter." ”

"Okay, I have a heart. ”

Grandma took Zhang Wanting's gift with a smile and put it aside.

The uncle on the side saw that there were only these few people in the box, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Cousin, why didn't Yaowen come?"

Zhang Wanting heard her grandfather mention Huo Yaowen, and her eyes were also staring at her aunt and grandmother.

Grandma smiled and said, "It's still in school! Yesterday, Chengcai had already called him to inform him of the location, so it should be almost there." ”

Huo Chengcai interjected: "Mom, grandpa, they came from Kowloon, and they may not arrive a little later." ”

Grandma said: "It's okay, isn't it still early? It's only five o'clock, and there will be some time before leaving the table." ”

Huo Tingting, who came back from leave, was a little idle, and after taking a sip of tea, she suddenly noticed Grandma's clothes and asked in surprise: "Grandma, your cheongsam is so beautiful, why haven't I seen you wear it before?"

Grandma glanced down at her cheongsam, sighed in her heart, and replied to her granddaughter's words with a smile: "These are all clothes from many years ago." ”

Today's grandma is dressed very grandly, not only wearing a cheongsam, but also combing her hair well, and wearing a set of gold jewelry, two jade bracelets on her left and right hands.

Although it is said that because of Huo Chengcai's failed investment, more than ten years of poverty have passed, but the Huo family is not particularly poor strictly speaking, plus the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Grandma still has some gold and silver jewelry in the house, which was originally wanted to be kept for emergency use, but Huo Yaowen is now developed, and he doesn't need these jewelry.

After a while, the eldest grandfather Huo Zongming also came over with his grandmother, son Huo Chengzhi and grandson Huo Yaozu, but Huo Chengguang and her daughter Huo Xiufen also followed.

At first, when Grandma saw Huo Chengguang, she was a little unwelcome, but Huo Xiufen stepped forward and kowtowed and called the second grandmother, which suddenly made the old man's heart soften a lot, and he quickly got up and pulled Huo Xiufen up.

Grandma helped Huo Xiufen up, looked at her and said, "Xiufen has grown so big." ”

Huo Xiufen may be because of her single-parent family, the first time she grew up, she was even more shy than Zhang Wanjun when she saw her for the first time, her face was red, and she didn't dare to speak, but just hummed softly.

"Okay, the girl is beautiful. ”

Grandma happily gave Huo Xiufen the bonus that had been prepared a long time ago: "Xiufen take it, this is given to you by the second grandmother." ”

When Huo Chengguang saw this scene, he was so excited in his heart that his hands couldn't help but tremble, he knew the meaning of this bonus, which meant that Erniang forgave him.

Huo Zongming was also happy to see his younger siblings behaving like this, when they are old, they like to have a closer relationship between their clan relatives, and they can take care of each other in the future, so that the relationship between the two families will not be stiff like before, and they will not be in contact for more than ten years.

Huo Xiufen glanced back at her father Huo Chengguang, and with the encouragement of his eyes, she also took it with a red face, and said softly: "Thank you, second grandma." ”

"Okay, all sit, all sit. ”

Grandma was so happy that everyone had arrived, and when she was about to call her son to open the banquet, she found that her grandson had not yet arrived.

As soon as she thought about it, Huo Yaowen hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in, and after seeing that everyone had arrived, she said with a smile: "I'm sorry to be a little late." ”

Zhang Wanting saw her cousin coming, and smiled on her face.

Huo Zongming shouted: "Yaowen is here, come and sit down, today is your grandma's birthday, our grandfather and grandson will not get drunk and not return." ”

For the grandfather who has good wine, Huo Yaowen can only smile bitterly and say: "I'm afraid I can't have a good drink with you today, there are still some things to do at night, you can't drink too much." ”

"It's good not to drink, it's good not to drink. Grandma followed: "Big brother, you also drink a little less, although I am happy today, everyone still drinks a little less." ”

The eldest grandmother next to her also followed: "Sister-in-law is right, Zongming, your body is not particularly good, drink less wine today." ”

Huo Zongming laughed: "Okay, then I'll drink a little less today." ”

Huo Yaowen sent the gift box that had been prepared long ago to Grandma, and blessed: "I wish Grandma a happy birthday, every year has today, every year has today, the years are like today, the blessings are like the East China Sea, and the longevity is better than Nanshan!"

Grandma smiled and said, "Okay, Yaowen sit down and eat." ”

Huo Yaowen didn't sit down at Grandma's table, but went to the table of the younger sister, which was basically full of people of his generation, except for Huo Xiufen, who had only met once, cousin Huo Yaozu and sister-in-law Cheng Wenhua had also met a few times before.

In the process of serving, Huo Yaozu asked, "Yaowen, is your company still short of people?"

Huo Yaowen glanced at his sister-in-law Cheng Wenhua, who was holding the child, thought for a while and said: "The company is not short of people, but there is still a shortage of people on the foundation's side, and I am not tired of work, I just stay in the office every day, write copywriting, or remember something, is there any good candidate recommended to me by my eldest brother?" Is it my sister-in-law?"

Huo Yaozu laughed and said, "It's not your sister-in-law, she is now a teacher at Kwun Tong Government Primary School in Kwun Tong District, Kowloon." ”

"Congratulations sister-in-law. ”

Cheng Wenhua hugged the child, nodded with a smile and said: "I'm just a primary school teacher, where can I compare to Yaowen, a university teacher, don't make fun of me, your brother now says that I am a primary school teacher, he is not ashamed, I dislike it." ”

"Haha......"

Huo Yaozu laughed again.

Huo Tingting followed and said: "Sister-in-law, it's good to be a primary school teacher, not only do you have less work, but you can also play with children, not to mention how happy you are." ”

Cheng Wenhua smiled bitterly: "Tingting, you don't know, I'm taking first-grade students, all of them are about ten years old, except for a few who are a little older, the others are naughty ghosts, which are difficult to teach." ”

Huo Tingting heard that it was difficult to teach, and immediately said: "Really? ”

Zhang Wanjun said with a smile: "Tingting, don't stop doing it as soon as you hear it, I feel that it's good to play with children, when I was in Chinatown, I often helped neighbors take care of children, which was very fun." ”

Cheng Wenhua said: "Wanjun, you are a child, or an acquaintance, if you meet more than 30 children you don't know and are not familiar with, it will be a headache to quarrel in class alone." ”

Zhang Wanjun imagined that more than thirty children around ten years old were talking together, noisy, and couldn't help but shudder, and said, "That's so noisy." ”

Watch a few women chatting happily there.

Huo Yaowen leaned out and asked Huo Yaozu, "Big brother, who is the person you just said?"

Huo Yaozu raised his chin slightly, motioned to the person sitting opposite, and said, "It's Xiufen." ”

Hearing the word "Xiufen", Huo Xiufen's face, which had gradually calmed down, turned red again, she was too heartfelt and too shy.

For this cousin, Huo Yaowen really didn't know much, except for meeting once, that is, when chatting with the uncle and grandfather, I heard them mention Huo Xiufen, who was one year older than Huo Tingting, graduated from middle school last year, and then stopped studying, and has been helping in the pawnshop.

Huo Chengguang felt that it was not good for a girl's family to stay in a place like a pawnshop, so he asked Huo Yaozu to tell Huo Yaowen to see if he could arrange Huo Xiufen to be a small clerk in his company or something, it didn't matter how much the salary was, as long as it was a legitimate industry.

Huo Yaowen didn't hesitate, and agreed: "Yes, it just so happens that I am still short of manpower over there." ”

Immediately, Huo Yaowen looked at Huo Xiufen, saw her burying her head for a while, thought about it, or he spoke first: "Xiufen." ”

Huo Xiufen seemed to have done something bad, and hurriedly responded, and said tremblingly: "Ah...... Two... Second cousin. ”

Huo Yaowen saw that her face was red and she stammered, which also had a deeper impact on her cousin's shyness, and said as gently as possible: "Xiufen, don't be nervous, my cousin asked you, do you do the work of a clerk? There is nothing major to do, just write copywriting in the company, register some information, send documents or something." ”

Huo Xiufen may have felt the kindness sent by Huo Yaowen, although her face was still very red, but her speech was much smoother: "Yes, second cousin, I am in the pawnshop to register account books and goods." ”

Huo Yaowen nodded: "That's good, I'll contact you in two days, and I'll take you over when the time comes." ”

.......

Wait for the wine to pass three rounds, and the dishes to pass the five flavors.

It was about seven o'clock in the evening that the meal finally stopped.

Huo Yaowen drove Grandma and them home, and Lao Dou and his aunt and aunt took a taxi back.

As for the grandfather, they have a house on Hong Kong Island, and the distance is not far, and it will take ten minutes to take a taxi.

Grandma got out of the car, saw that Huo Yaowen didn't mean to come down, and couldn't help asking, "Yaowen, aren't you going home to live today?"

Huo Yaowen said: "No, grandma, I want to go back to school, there will be something tomorrow." ”

Grandma leaned over the window of the car and reminded, "Okay, you drive slower on the road." ”

"I know, I'll be careful. ”

Huo Tingting instructed: "Brother, don't forget to pick me up from school the day after tomorrow." ”

Huo Yaowen smiled bitterly: "I know, I'll pick you up from your school in the afternoon the day after tomorrow." ”

Waving his hand and saying goodbye to his family, Huo Yaowen started the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and accelerated all the way back to the University of Hong Kong.

By the time he drove Anna to the restaurant, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

However, at this time, the Taibai Seafood Boat is still brightly lit, and the people who come here to eat are also endless, in summer, many people like to come to the beach to eat seafood, especially the seafood in the seafood boat, which is delicious, and naturally becomes a favorite place for many people.

Today's Anna is dressed very seriously, wearing a long skirt that covers half of her arms in gray and blue, and high heels under her feet, which makes her look more slender and slender.

Originally, the height of 1.7 meters was not short, and he wore high heels, not to mention 1.75 meters, but this matched Huo Yaowen's height of 1.82 meters.

Anna was in a very good mood at this time, and when she got off the bus and went to Taibai Seafood Restaurant, she subconsciously grabbed Huo Yaowen's arm.

This move made Huo Yaowen stunned for a few seconds, a little overwhelmed, and finally took her into the Taibai seafood boat in this posture.

Entered the seafood restaurant.

A waiter approached and said, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

Huo Yaowen asked, "Is there a box booked by the surname Huo?"

"Yes, sir, ma'am, please come with me. ”

The waiter led the two up to the second floor, helped them order food, and turned to leave.

Downstairs, the waiter hurriedly ran to the back kitchen, and said to a few colleagues who were lazy: "You would never have thought that a very beautiful ghost girl just came to eat with us." ”

Colleague Ah Shui smiled and said: "It's really fake, what you said seems to be a heavenly immortal, is it so beautiful?"

"It's not like I haven't seen a ghost girl, a few days ago I went out shopping with Brother Shui, and I met a ghost girl on the street who asked for directions. ”

Ah Fu thought of the very coolly dressed ghost girl he saw a few days ago, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and at the same time gestured on his chest.

"I'll lose it, Ah Fu, don't you want to be so obscene!"

Ah Shui took a step back, looked at Ah Fu's hungry and obscene appearance, sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Ah Fu's obscenity is not your fault, Brother Shui has decided, I will take you to break through next time I have the opportunity, but you have to remember one thing, that is, mix with me, don't look like you haven't seen the world." ”

"Okay, okay!"

Ah Fu nodded hurriedly and responded: "Brother Shui, you must take me to meet the world, you are so powerful that day, you can communicate with that ghost sister in foreign language." ”

"Sprinkle the water!" Ah Shui triumphantly.
