Chapter 17
In the past, when she was in the company, she hated vague needs the most, either "casually" or "you look at it", but after doing it, it became "although I don't know what I want, but after you do it, I know what I don't want." ”
I hope Aunt Shi won't beat herself to death.
After a while, Aunt Shi came over: "The cake is ready, please confirm it with the young grandmother, if you can, it will be boxed." ”
When Tang Jiahong saw the cake, the surprise on his face was overflowing, it was so beautiful, not to mention anything else, just the three stars of Fu Lu Shou on the cake, and a few cute deer, with different expressions and lifelike.
"How can you do it so beautifully?"
Seeing that the young grandmother affirmed her work, Aunt Shi was also very happy: "Is it okay?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Tang Jiahong is not stingy with praise at all.
I didn't expect to be able to make such a professional-grade fondant cake at home, not only that, but even the packaging is professional-grade, and the shock-absorbing effect is first-class, as long as the cake is not smashed directly on the ground, those patterns and patterns, and the three-dimensional image will not be affected in any way.
Uncle Zhao had already prepared a wide business car and sent Tang Jiahong over.
It takes more than two hours to get to her grandmother's house, and she thought of countless possibilities in the car to deal with her grandmother, various relatives, and her mother and sister who may appear.
In the two hours on this road, Tang Jiahong probably prepared the most pre-selection plans in recent years, and at the same time, it was also the most ineffective.
Every argument has loopholes, and every reason can be easily broken.
She kept thinking of new solutions, and overturned them herself.
When the car drove into the community where her grandmother's house was located, she had to admit one thing, that is: she was alone, and there was no perfect plan.
If you want to be persuasive, you have to have a man to work with you.
But she didn't.
What is that? For relatives, whatever the reason, as long as the man does not appear in front of him, it does not exist.
"Ma'am, it's here. The driver's voice alerted her.
What should be faced, still has to be faced.
She took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.
Walking up to the old-fashioned residential building, before I reached the floor of my grandmother's house, I already heard the bustle in the door, and it seemed that the relatives who should have come had already arrived.
Tang Jiahong stood at the door, his hand raised and lowered, put down and raised, but he lacked the courage to raise his hand and knock on the door.
She was afraid that her grandmother would be like some damn forced marriage advertisement, and she would ask directly without saying a word, "Where's your husband?"
After hesitating again and again, she suddenly heard the sound of the stairs, she looked down and found that the third uncle's family was coming up from downstairs, and they obviously saw her: "Jiahong, are you here too? Why don't you go in?"
As the third aunt spoke, she knocked on the door, and the door soon opened, and a huge and lively sound wave poured out from the room, and the sound of talking, laughter, and laughter were stirred together, and the strong atmosphere of life was completely different from the big and quiet Lin family's house.
The third uncle's family used to say hello to grandma, the little cousin was at the age of being able to make trouble, and when he saw his grandmother, he was very affectionate, and called "grandma" loudly, and his grandmother touched his head: "Grow taller, are you studying well, has the teacher come to complain?"
The little cousin is very proud: "My grades are good, I am the first in every grade!"
The third aunt added: "But the teacher often comes to complain, why don't you tell grandma." ”
"Why do you want to sue when you are the first in the whole grade?"
The little cousin smiled hesitantly: "This is not bad for me." ”
"It's not up to you to sue you?"
The third uncle patted the third aunt and said to grandma: "I really can't blame Xiaojie, it's that many girls in their class like to play with him, and the teacher is afraid that it will affect his studies, so let him pay attention." ”
The aunt on the side exclaimed: "Wow, Xiaojie is only ten years old, there are so many girls who like it, it's good, now many twenty or thirty-year-olds can't find a partner, Xiaojie will definitely have a lot of girls chasing after him in the future." ”
Although the little cousin is young, he is slowly tired of the fact that everyone is making fun of himself, he rolled his eyes, and looked at Tang Jiahong and said, "Second cousin, why didn't my cousin-in-law come?
Everyone's attention immediately turned to Tang Jiahong, Tang Jiahong really wanted to beat this bear child, where did he say so much.
But she still had to smile on her face: "Your cousin-in-law is busy, and I am also busy, we are out on a business trip together, I didn't go, and I don't know when your eldest cousin and aunt will come." ”
"Cousin-in-law, are there any more?" the little cousin blurted out.
Tang Jiahong's face changed suddenly, before she came, she had a good relationship with her relatives who knew that she was married, and they all said hello, don't mention this matter in front of grandma, lest the old man worry, and don't admit it, the little cousin actually broke this matter.
She felt her grandmother's gaze shoot at her face like an arrow, although the mouthy little cousin was slapped heavily on the head by the third aunt, but it was too late.
"My cousin-in-law is fine, how could I not have it?" Tang Jiahong squeezed out a smiling expression at his little cousin.
"That is, don't talk nonsense, kids. The third aunt hurriedly took the little cousin aside and went to play with the other cousins.
Grandma's expression did not soften: "Honghong, what is going on, what did Xiaojie mean just now? Are you not married at all? Grandma has never forced you to get married, but you can't lie to grandma." ”
Looking at her grandmother's disappointed look, Tang Jiahong had at least seven or eight lies in her mind, but she couldn't tell any of them.
Grandma's cloudy eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, and can see through all the excuses she weaves, Tang Jiahong has grown up with her grandmother since she was a child, what kind of look she looks like represents what kind of mood, grandma is clear, and now she looks like she has obviously done something bad and is trying to find a reason.
Grandma sighed, and that sigh fell on Tang Jiahong's ears, making her heart sour.
Seeing her grandmother's disappointed appearance, Tang Jiahong gritted her teeth and wanted to tell her grandmother directly that she had never been married, and the person who married her was her sister Tang Jiani.
Just as she was gritting her teeth and preparing to tell this story, suddenly, there was a knock on the door again, looking at the person, Tang Jiahong's heart jumped, it was her mother and sister, and ...... He Zhiyuan.
They also saw Tang Jiahong, her mother was calm, He Zhiyuan's eyes didn't dare to contact her at all, Tang Jiani was still the weak appearance that I saw pitiful, after the three of them stepped forward to say hello to grandma, grandma looked at Tang Jiani and He Zhiyuan standing beside her, a little confused: "Hey, am I mistaken, it's Xiaoni who got married, not Honghong?"
Tang Jiani didn't know what Tang Jiahong, who arrived first, said to her grandmother, she bit her lip and looked ashamed, and said for a long time: "It's me who is sorry for Honghong." ”
In fact, the grandmother who has early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease has been confused by her memory, and if she doesn't mention this matter, she will continue to misunderstand, and will think that she has misremembered, and the person who held the wedding more than four months ago was not Tang Jiahong.
But when Tang Jiani said this, grandma suddenly felt that there was a problem and wanted to continue to ask.
Not only did the grandmother want to know, but the chatting voices of the relatives around them also lowered, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to the movement here.
At this moment, there was another knock at the door, and the second uncle was a little strange: "Who?"
The door was opened, and Lin Shuyan, dressed in a straight suit, appeared at the door.
Lin Shuyan?
Shouldn't he be mingling with people and laughing at a luxury cocktail party in Shenzhen at this time?
Why is it in this old-fashioned residential building in this small city?
Tang Jiahong looked at him in astonishment.
He walked up to his grandmother: "Grandma, I'm Honghong's husband Lin Shuyan, I'm sorry, I just finished work, I'm late." ”
This grandma made Tang Jiahong's heart suddenly put down, she held Lin Shuyan's arm, very intimately, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Lin Shuyan smiled and stroked her hair, and said very gently: "It was supposed to be late, but I rushed a little to catch up, and the time was free. ”
Grandma looked at the man in front of her, although she didn't know what he did, but her excellent figure and appearance, as well as her temperament as tall as a jade tree facing the wind, stood among the people in the room, and she was the most eye-catching one.
The relatives were dumbfounded, and the little cousin made no secret of her face-control nature: "Wow! The second cousin-in-law is so handsome!"
The little cousin said disdainfully: "You girls are just superficial, didn't you just say that your eldest cousin-in-law is handsome, and he has changed so quickly?"
"You know, there is no such thing as the most handsome, only more handsome. The little cousin grimaced at the little cousin.
There was still Xiao Li standing at the door, holding several large boxes in his hands, and after sending them into the house, he turned around and left.
Lin Shuyan opened the box, in addition to high-end imported chocolates, there are also some figures that boys like, and Disney princess series that girls like.
"Wow!" the children never hid their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and their eyes were straight when they saw good things.
Lin Shuyan smiled: "I'm not very good at picking things, if you like it, just take it and play with it." ”
The children were overjoyed when they heard this, and each picked their favorite one and sat down to the side.
Grandma asked Lin Shuyan to sit next to her and asked him long and short questions, Lin Shuyan smiled and answered all her questions, grandma's memory is declining, some questions have obviously been asked once, and after a while, she will ask them again. Lin Shuyan didn't look impatient at all, and he would always repeat his answer just like he answered for the first time.
Obviously, He Zhiyuan also came to the door for the first time, but the eyes of his relatives were firmly attracted by Lin Shuyan, which made He Zhiyuan feel a little surprised, but in front of Tang Jiani, he endured it and did not have a seizure.
"It's time to sit down, everybody. "The eldest aunt greeted everyone.
After sitting down, everyone raised their glasses, wished grandma a birthday, looked at the full house of children and grandchildren, lively and lively, and the old man couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and the wine was over three rounds of dishes and five flavors, and the third aunt, who was especially good at being a person on weekdays, toasted to the eldest aunt: "Our family is late today, and we haven't helped anything, and the sister-in-law has been busy until now." Today's dishes are really full of color, flavor and flavor, and the craftsmanship of my sister-in-law is really amazing. ”
The eldest aunt smiled and said: "No, no, I am not the protagonist today, the protagonists are the two chefs invited by Zhiyuan from the Park Inn, you look at this carrot carved phoenix, how can I do this, it would be good to be able to cut it into shreds." ”
"Wow, Timber!" The relatives at the table exclaimed, this is the largest five-star hotel in the city, and a casual meal in it is at least 1,000 yuan per person, and the simplest afternoon tea costs 2881, and now I have invited two chefs to come to the house, how much does it cost!
Seeing that everyone's eyes were gathered on him, He Zhiyuan pretended to smile indifferently on his face: "This is not a matter of money or money, generally chefs don't cook in their own homes, and they think that the small pot at home is light and not easy to use." That is, I asked a friend to say a few good words, and I didn't have much money. ”
A chef who usually doesn't cook at home can be invited by him, what a big face. But the look on He Zhiyuan's face was understated, as if this matter was as simple as ordering a takeout for him.
"Zhiyuan has so many friends, I admire and admire, thank you to the chef invited by Zhiyuan to make us a good meal. Tang Jiahong saw that the uncle who had always been above the top took the initiative to toast He Zhiyuan, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
These relatives of hers, there are many people, there are more bad things, He Zhiyuan and them have met once at the wedding, and there is no deep impression at that time, she was deeply in love with He Zhiyuan at that time, and deliberately did not want him to have more contact with these people, so as not to hate the house and Wu, and hate himself too, for these people to make the husband and wife discordant, it is not interesting.
Now that he's happy to show them what he's capable of, ...... It's time to take care of the consequences.
Just thinking about it, Tang Jiahong suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, turned his head slightly, and found that it was Lin Shuyan sitting next to him, and the people at the table were busy talking to He Zhiyuan at this time, it was so lively and noisy that no one noticed the two of them.
Lin Shuyan whispered in her ear: "Do you want to help you fight for some face and come back?"
Tang Jiahong gently spit out three words: "Don't." ”
She knows her relatives too well, and she can't get rid of them if she gets wet, although Lin Shuyan's family has a big business, but no matter how big a cow is, it can't stop these flies from buzzing around her ears.
Lin Shuyan understood, the two of them silently ate on the side, listening to the crowd of people waiting for He Zhiyuan to praise him, he couldn't wait to praise him in the sky and in the ground, his hands and eyes were all over the sky, please move the Buddha to turn over the five elements, and hooked the book of life and death in the Nine Netherworlds.
After everyone asked about He Zhiyuan's resume, and finally quieted down for a while, the second uncle turned his head to look at Tang Jiahong: "What does Shuyan do?"
Tang Jiahong looked helpless: "Hey, he's just a host." ”
