Chapter 37: The Family Banquet Turmoil
Zheng Lin's recovery from his leg injury was quite dramatic, and naturally became the talk of the banquet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zheng Ya was at the same table with a few cousins and cousins, and he could also hear his father's laughter at the main table, as well as his praise, and many relatives looked at Zheng Ya after hearing his father's words, nodded to Zheng Ya, and praised Zheng Ya for being a sensible and capable good child.
Zheng Yadu smiled and nodded in response to these compliments.
The approving glances in the eyes of the elders, and some words of praise, although they are simple, they are very real, Zheng Ya also feels happy in his heart, this is a feeling that has been lost for a long time.
I remember the last time I was praised by so many relatives, it was when Zheng Ya got good results in the high school entrance examination and was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city.
At that time, the family was also full of people, but the good times did not last long, and it didn't take long for him to be disappointed, so that his parents were disappointed and reduced to mediocrity or even poor life, although there were few relatives who laughed at him in person, but behind the scenes, it is estimated that there were a lot of discussions.
Even today, when relatives congratulate their parents, they only praise Zheng Ya for how sensible and filial he is, but no one mentions Zheng Ya's academic performance, and no one praises Zheng Ya for being amazing.
In any case, no matter how the situation changes, and no matter how exaggerated the theory of the uselessness of reading, in fact, in the hearts of the older generation, children, only those with good reading grades are called powerful.
And the parents have obviously reluctantly accepted this reality, and they are accustomed to it, and everyone tacitly does not say anything unhappy when they are happy.
On Zheng Ya's side, a table of cousins also poured beer one after another, drinking more casually, the brothers are all young people, persuading them to drink at will, whether they like to drink or not, Zheng Ya is the eldest among the cousins, but no one poured him wine.
Everyone talked about school, good movies, and a few people who liked games and discussed the latest mobile games, Zheng Ya could only smile and couldn't interject.
Sister Zheng Jie's table is mainly cousins, and it is relatively casual, and the two tables have some communication with each other, but everyone's parents are present, but they are more restrained.
As the banquet gradually became more and more hearty, the conversation gradually became casual, especially after drinking a little wine, some of the nature was irrepressible and crazy.
Especially the aunts at the table of mother Wang Yi, after drinking a little beer, naturally, they began to compare and compare, no way, this is the aunts' hobby, and no one can stop it.
Aunt Ying was a little drunk, her face was a little red, holding a disposable small cup, holding half a glass of beer, shouting, and said loudly: "Yes, yes, Sister Yi, you have raised a good, good, good son, good, good, dry, cheers......"
After a cup of belly, the wine was a little stronger, and Aunt Ying finally couldn't help but say what was in her heart: "If you want to say it, Xiaoya is really good, sensible and filial, and can help Brother Lin heal his legs, and he is really better than our Xiaobao, isn't it a little bit better......"
Wang Yi's face was a little drunk, a little blushing, and his mouth was still polite: "Yingzi, how can it be? Your little treasure is good, well, very good......
Aunt Ying hurriedly waved her hand, as if her own little treasure was not worth mentioning: "What's good, he's too lazy to die, I'm like serving my little ancestor, except for my academic performance, everything else is a mess, a mess......"
The other aunts immediately complimented: "Not bad, not bad, I heard that Xiaobao is the first in the class, and it will definitely be the focus of the future in the future, smart, powerful, we are all of you, it is your Xiaobao who is the most powerful in reading......"
Aunt Ying's face was full of red light, and her mouth seemed to be very disdainful: "Don't talk about him, don't talk about him, if it weren't for Xiaoya's a little abnormal in recent years, how could it be Xiaobao's turn, don't you say, Sister Yi." ”
Wang Yi's face was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "How can it, Xiaobao is so good at reading, my Xiaoya is almost ......."
As she spoke, the phone in her hand rang, said sorry, looked down at the phone, but didn't notice it, and Yingzi next to her also tilted her head and looked at it curiously.
Homeroom teacher Gu-sensei?
Wang Yi was slightly stunned, what was Teacher Gu calling for at this time?
Aunt Ying's eyes rolled, and she already said loudly: "Oh, it turned out to be the phone number of Xiao Ya's homeroom teacher, I said, shouldn't Xiao Ya be persuaded to repeat a grade or miss the exam, so as not to lower the admission rate?"
The surrounding aunts were stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at another woman, Aunt Lan, Aunt Lan smiled awkwardly, his baby girl was the object of persuasion back then, and she was very famous among her relatives for a while, of course, it was not a good reputation.
Unexpectedly, everyone came to celebrate Brother Lin today, but they encountered such an embarrassing thing, and I don't know where to put the two old faces of Brother Lin and Sister Yi and his wife?
Wang Yi was stunned, didn't dare to answer the phone, and didn't want to hang up, hanging up the teacher's phone, but it was quite impolite.
Just when Wang Yi was stunned, Aunt Ying's eyes were quick and she took the phone with one hand.
Wang Yi was about to grab it, Zheng Ya stood up and said loudly: "It's okay, Mom, let her pick it up." ”
Wang Yi immediately looked at Zheng Lin.
Zheng Lin put down the disposable wine glass in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Pick it up." ”
The banquet instantly fell silent, and adults and children listened intimately to see what was being said on the phone.
Aunt Ying grinned and pressed the hands-free button.
On the other end of the phone, Teacher Gu's soft voice came out: "May I ask if it is Zheng Ya's mother or father?"
Aunt Ying looked at the audience and said loudly, "Mom." ”
Wang Yi's face was slightly red, and he looked at Zheng Lin for help, Zheng Lin's face sank like water, and he shook his head slowly.
Teacher Gu said: "Well, hello, I am Zheng Ya's homeroom teacher, and I take the liberty to call you, mainly to inform your parents of Zheng Ya's academic performance and communicate with you about his college entrance examination." ”
Aunt Ying said loudly: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Gu, if you have anything to say, please say it directly, I need to know Zheng Ya's actual situation." ”
Teacher Gu chuckled and said, "Well, okay, then I'm welcome, first of all, I have to regret to say that Zheng Ya's academic performance is not particularly good, so ......"
Speaking of which, Teacher Gu seemed to be talking too much, and took a sip of tea gently.
Aunt Lan couldn't help but say beside her: "It's over, it's over, it's a pity that the head teacher of Xiaomushroom opened his mouth back then......"
At the banquet, all the relatives couldn't help but look at Zheng Ya in unison.
Zheng Ya's face was calm, he picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of beer gently.
The father's face was pale, the mother's face was panicked, and the younger sister was at the other table with an indignant face.
The looks of the relatives fell into Zheng Ya's eyes one by one, so Zheng Ya couldn't help but secretly swear that he must do his best to review seriously, take a good entrance exam, and it is best to go to a heavy book, otherwise, his parents will not be able to straighten up for the rest of their lives.
At this time, on the other end of the phone, Mr. Gu's voice rang again: "Therefore, he basically can't reach ......"
Speaking of which, Mr. Gu coughed violently, probably because he was in a hurry to drink tea and choked.
