"Ding-dong. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When I opened the door, it was Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
"Dear Xiaochen, Daddy Marne is here."
"Good evening, Uncle Marne, please come in." Taking the gift from Aunt Lisa's hand, Ye Chen let the Browns in, "Oh, a bottle of Uncle Marne's collection of red wine, you must try it at night." ”
Mr. and Mrs. Brown brought a bottle of red wine, Ye Chen knew before that Ma was very fond of collecting red wine, and this must be one of his collections.
"The red wine from Bordeaux is very tasty, and I was able to drink a small glass." Ma En said with a few treasures.
"A small cup!" Lisa didn't forget to tell him on the side.
"Got it, old woman." Marne muttered on the ground, but he didn't dare to refute.
Walking into the living room, Ye Cong and Cui Shicheng also stood up to greet the Brown couple.
"Hello, Mr. Cui. My name is Man? Brown "spat out a barrage of Chinese from Marne's mouth, much to the surprise of Cui Shicheng."
"I can't imagine that your Chinese is so good."
"Hehe, I went to China in my early years, it was a very amazing country," Ma En sat next to Cui Shicheng, "Xiao Ye also often speaks Chinese to me, I like everything in these foreign countries." Mr. Cui, what do you do in China? ”
"I'm the principal of a martial arts school." Unexpectedly, Cui Shicheng, who wanted to be more elegant, turned out to be the principal of a martial arts school.
"Martial arts, is it Chinese kung fu?" Ma En was suddenly pleasantly surprised, "I've been to the Shaolin Temple, is that their kung fu?" ”
"How to say it, Chinese martial arts are divided into many schools, there are similarities, but there are still some differences. Our school is still mainly biased towards kickboxing. Cui Shicheng briefly distinguished his work.
As soon as he talked about Chinese martial arts, Ma En's interest was even greater, and the two of them chatted with Cui Shicheng, and the others couldn't interject.
It seems that Kreese and Cui Yuanyuan are having fun, and Parker also escapes from her hands. ran out of the bedroom upside down, went straight to Ye Chen, threw himself at Ye Chen's feet, hugged his calves, and stared at the master with an aggrieved look.
"Poor little thing." Ye Chen picked up Parker and rubbed his little head.
"Chreese is really a critter's nemesis." Alina said helplessly, anyway, Ruth at home was cured by Kress and had no choice.
As night fell, so did the guests.
"Come in, Will, I'll leave you alone." Ye Chen welcomed the Will family in.
Will's eldest son is about the same age as Chrissy, and there are two 4-year-old twin daughters, and the two blonde girls look the same, and they are wearing the same clothes, just like looking in the mirror, but the two little girls still like to do the same movements, and they basically can't distinguish between the two.
Let the Will family to the living room, the dinner officially began, Alina and Li Ling's mother and daughter brought the food to the table, and Ye Chen also opened the prepared red wine.
"Gentlemen, ladies, and children." The dinner officially began, Ye Chen took the initiative to welcome everyone with a wine glass, "Please enjoy the dinner to the fullest, I hope you have a good time." ”
"Here, first of all, welcome Uncle Cui and Auntie, and wish Yuanyuan all the best in your studies, I think you will have a great gain in choosing Liverpool. Thank you also Aunt Li for your cooking, so that we can taste the food. ”
"I have to thank Mrs. Wesley for giving me the apartment, thank you. Thank you Will for helping me in my job, but more importantly you have given me the main team in the team. ”
"That's your strength, Ye." Will waved his hand, "You're an essential part of the team. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Marne, especially for your wine, but Aunt Lisa must watch him not to let him smoke."
"Hey, Xiaochen, I don't smoke." But obviously Ma's words didn't have any effect, and everyone knew his situation, so they all laughed.
"Finally, thank you big brother and Alina, thank you for taking care of me. I hope you all have a good time. Ye Chen raised his glass and expressed his gratitude to everyone present, thanking them for their help and care.
"Uncle, I can help you take care of Parker, so you have to thank me." Chreese said, holding up her orange juice and cocking her head to the side.
"Hehe, you little ghost elf, I don't dare leave Parker to you to take care of yourself." Ye Chen touched Chriss's small glass with his wine glass.
"Nasty, that's my love for Parker." The little girl was still defending herself.
In addition to the barbecue and desserts prepared by Alina, the most popular dishes were the Chinese dishes, which were immediately fascinated by the Chinese cuisine cooked by Li Ling, who had never tried to make food with such elaborate vegetables, and Will's wife asked her how to make these dishes.
Tasting the food, Ye Chen kept toasting everyone, Ye Chen had never been drunk after his physique was enhanced, and several people took turns to toast but only made Ye Chen feel a little bit.
"Xiaochen, your alcohol consumption is getting better and better now." Ye Cong saw Ye Chen's amount of alcohol in his eyes, and felt that he was getting more and more able to drink.
"Xiaochen, you go on, I have to go home, I can't hold on anymore when I'm old." Mrs. Wesley put down the cutlery in her hand, "Lawyer Ye, thank you for your help tonight, your words are very useful to me, I will think about it carefully." If necessary, I will inform the members of the association. Goodbye young man, have fun. ”
Mrs. Wesley came here to ask Ye Cong about the legal issues of animal protection, but because of her age, she needed to go home early to rest, so she left the apartment first and took the taxi called by Ye Chen to return home.
Mr. Marne would have liked to have a little more time at the party, but Lisa would not indulge him, and took him away like a parent teaching a child.
"It's not fair, why can't I continue here?" Mr. Marne's stubborn duty Lisa.
"If you can't wash up and go to bed before ten o'clock, you'll have to wait for leftovers tomorrow." Lisa didn't pay any attention to her husband's nonsense, and as a wife, she naturally put his health first, and let him make a lot of noise about the rest.
"Uncle Marne, you need to rest now, and the next meeting will continue." Ye Chen is also used to Maen's temper, and the older he gets, he always likes to work against Lisa.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Marne needed to get enough sleep due to physical reasons, so Lisa had to force her husband to come home for every such gathering.
After the Browns left, the party didn't last long, and the children had to return home under the supervision of their parents, and their little games ended.
"Yuanyuan, put your things here, I'll clean them up tomorrow, you go back with your parents first." Seeing off the guests, Ye Chen returned to the living room and saw Cui Yuanyuan cleaning up the garbage on the ground.
"I'll just sweep these things together." Cui Yuanyuan took a small broom and gathered the paper scraps and food crumbs in the living room and put them in a garbage bag. "Brother Chen, I took this garbage bag out."
