Chapter 458: Coaxing the Child
Liu Dan saw his son running towards him, hurriedly squatted down, and his son picked him up and said, "Hao Hao, look who is coming." ”
"Old aunt, Aunt Miao Miao. Huh~ Who are you? It's like an old aunt. Zhang Hao and Zhang Shumin's mother and daughter are more familiar, but they forgot about Zhang Shulan, who doesn't come often.
"Haohao, this is the second aunt, why did you forget. Hurry up and call the second aunt, the second aunt. Liu Dan hugged his son and reminded.
"Second aunt, second aunt." Zhang Hao shouted obediently.
"Hao Hao is so good! I haven't seen it for a year, and I've grown so big. Here, here's the New Year's money for you. ”
Zhang Shulan smiled and took out a big red envelope. Now that the family has money, the red envelopes are also full of weight, and Zhang Shulan wrapped a thousand yuan at once.
"Thank you, Second Aunt!"
Zhang Hao has not received a lot of red envelopes during the holidays, although the little guy will not spend money, but he also knows that this red envelope is a good thing, and he wants to thank him for taking it.
"Hehe~ Hao Hao is so polite." Zhang Shulan pinched Zhang Hao's soft little face and praised.
"Mom gave me candy."
Zhang Hao got the red envelope on the front foot, and gave Liu Dan on the back foot, and he wanted to exchange the red envelope in his hand for candy to eat.
Liu Dan is afraid of his son's tooth decay, and rarely gives Zhang Hao candy, even if it is the New Year, Zhang Hao wants to eat candy in exchange for red envelopes. Seeing that his son handed over the red envelope, Liu Dan took out the milk candy prepared in advance from his pocket and put it in the palm of his son's hand.
Zhang Hao doesn't know whether this deal is a loss or a gain, anyway, as long as there is candy to eat, a red envelope can be exchanged for a piece of toffee, this red envelope is of course a good thing. I saw him peel off the candy wrapper with a smile and stuff the sugar into his mouth. The bulging appearance of the little mouth caused everyone to laugh.
Zhang Shumin saw that her sister gave a red envelope, so she took out the red envelope she had prepared. Usually she and Zhang Chongwen are treated by the eldest brother, and her little sister takes advantage, but how can she be generous during the Chinese New Year, if she always does not pull out a dime. The relatives will not be able to get along. However, her red envelope is not as big as Zhang Shulan, and it is only 200 yuan in it.
Zhang Hao didn't care about the amount of money or the amount of money, anyway, he thanked him after receiving the red envelope, and changed the sugar after saying thank you. Liu Dan will not be as heartless as his son, he doesn't need to look at the two red envelopes in his hand, and he knows that there is a lot of money and little money in them.
Let's be honest. Liu Dan has a lot of opinions about Zhang Shumin. Because Zhang Shumin always comes to the restaurant, on the surface, she has a good relationship with Zhang Chongwen and walks around diligently. In fact, every time Zhang Chongwen came, he had to invite her to a meal. Just from the matter of inviting guests to dinner, Zhang Chongwen is better to Zhang Shumin than Zhang Shulan.
Zhang Shulan didn't take advantage of Zhang Chongwen all year round but gave Zhang Hao a big red envelope, Zhang Shumin ate for a year in vain before giving a small red envelope, Liu Dan naturally didn't like Zhang Shumin in her heart. It's just that for the sake of her father-in-law and mother-in-law's face, Liu Dan can't talk to Zhang Shumin in person, so she can only nag her husband behind her back.
Zhong Huan still likes children, seeing his little nephew so cute. Then he stepped forward and teased Zhang Hao: "Haohao, what should you call me?" ”
Zhang Hao didn't know Zhong Huan and was a little recognizant, as soon as he heard Zhong Huan's question, he puffed out his black eyes, with sugar in his mouth, looked at Zhong Huan, and hugged his mother's neck tightly with both hands.
"Haohao, call uncle. This is Uncle Zhong, and this is Uncle Yu. Liu Dan held his son in one hand. One pointed at Zhong Huan and Yu Gongce and said.
"Woo~"
Zhang Hao didn't know if he couldn't make words with sugar in his mouth, or because he didn't want to call someone. Anyway, he whined perfunctorily, then turned his head to Liu Dan's side, and no longer looked at Zhong Huan and Yu Gongce.
"Haohao, it's not woo, it's uncle. Good boys, be polite, call uncle. Otherwise, the piece of candy in your pocket will be confiscated. ”
Liu Dan saw that his son was disobedient, so he pointed to the small pocket on his clothes. Zhang Hao ate one of the two pieces of candy exchanged for two red envelopes just now, and the other one was put in his pocket.
"Uh-huh~~~"
As soon as Zhang Hao heard that his mother was going to confiscate his candy, he immediately covered his pocket with his hand and shook his head, and he was about to cry when he pouted.
"Sister-in-law, forget it if Haohao doesn't call it. Don't make him cry. ”
Zhong Huan originally wanted to tease his little nephew. didn't want to make him cry, seeing that Zhang Hao was about to shed tears, Zhong Huan said to him: "Haohao, don't cry, uncle will give you a magic trick, what do you think this is?" ”
When Zhang Hao heard that he was going to do magic, he turned his head to Zhong Huan again, and his dark eyes blinked, how could he still cry a little. Everyone saw Zhong Huan put his hand into his arms and took out a bright red magic cloth.
Zhong Huan's magic cloth was actually taken out of the storage hall. He unfolded the cloth and shook it, then put it on his right hand. When he lifted the magic cloth with his left hand, there was already a big lychee on his right hand, and this bright red lychee was more than twice as large as an ordinary lychee, which made people greedy when they looked at it.
"Lychee! Mom, look, my uncle has conjured lychees. ”
As soon as Zhang Hao saw the lychee's mouth, he immediately became neat, and shook excitedly in Liu Dan's arms, and Liu Dan hugged his son tightly, afraid that he would fall.
"Do you want to eat lychees?"
Zhong Huan took the lychee to his little nephew and asked. The reason why he took out a lychee from the storage hall was because he saw that Zhang Hao loved sugar. The sugar content of lychees is very high, and Zhong Huan believes that the little nephew will definitely not be able to resist the temptation.
"Uh-huh~ I want to eat!" Zhang Hao nodded his little head and said.
"Uncle Sheng, will my uncle give you lychees?" Zhong Huan took the lychee and lured.
"Uncle! Uncle! Good uncle! Give me the lychee. Xiao Zhang Hao stared at the lychee and shouted affectionately, and he didn't know if he was calling him lychee or Zhong Huan.
"Hao Hao is so good. It's for you. Zhong Huan put the lychee in his nephew's hand.
"Thank you, uncle!" Zhang Hao took the lychee and said happily.
"Hehe~ Xiao Huan, I really didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing children." Zhang Chongwen said with a smile.
"I don't have a sister-in-law to coax me. My lychee was exchanged for an uncle, and my sister-in-law could exchange a piece of candy for a red envelope. This level is high. Zhong Huan joked.
Everyone laughed after hearing Zhong Huan finish speaking, and Zhang Chong and Yuan Fen laughed and beckoned everyone to take their seats. It's still early at the moment, and the round table in the box hasn't served yet, but there are peanuts, melon seeds, pistachios and other dried fruits, as well as a pot of tea. After everyone sat down, Liu Dan handed the child to her mother-in-law and got up to pour water for everyone.
The adults began to drink tea and chat, but Xiao Zhang Hao was still competing with the lychee. If it was an ordinary lychee, Zhang Hao's small mouth could also bite it open, but the lychee of this Ten Thousand Beast Gu was much larger than an ordinary lychee, so Zhang Hao would not be able to bite it.
"Grandpa~Grandpa~ You help me open the lychee." Zhang Hao handed the lychee to Zhang Chongwen and said.
"I'll help you peel the lychee, can you give it to grandpa?" Zhang Chongwen took the lychee and teased his grandson.
"Hmm...... OK! But I can only take a small bite, or I won't have to eat. Xiao Zhang Hao thought about it and said.
"Haha~"
Zhang Chongwen didn't really want to grab lychees with his grandson, he just wanted to see if his grandson was reluctant to eat for himself. Hearing Zhang Hao agree to his request, Zhang Chongwen laughed, and at the same time, with his hands, he broke open the lychee shell, revealing the crystal clear flesh inside.
"Huh? This lychee tastes so good! ”
As soon as the lychee shell was peeled off, Yuan Fen, who was sitting next to Zhang Chongwen, smelled an extremely sweet lychee smell. She has also eaten a lot of lychees, but she has never seen them so fragrant and so big.
"It really smells good. Xiao Huan, where did you buy this lychee? Zhang Wei likes to eat lychees very much, watching Zhang Chongwen hand the peeled lychees to Zhang Hao, Zhang Wei, who is a father, is greedy.
"This lychee was given by a friend." Zhong Huan felt his mother pulling his clothes beside him, and remembered that his mother had told him not to say anything about selling fruits.
"Wow~ This lychee is delicious!"
As soon as Zhong Huan's words fell, Zhang Hao shouted. A big lychee was chewed by him until the juice overflowed, and the lychee in the box tasted stronger.
"Xiao Huan, your friend can't be someone who knows Hongda Hotel, right? I've heard that the signature dish of Hongda Hotel is the special fruit bowl made of large fruits. The size and taste of your lychee are completely ready to be served. Zhang Chongwen is engaged in catering, and as soon as he realized the special features of this lychee, he thought of the signature dish of Hongda Hotel.
"Uncle, you guessed right. My friend's name is Zhou Xin, and his father is Zhou Hongda, the owner of Hongda Hotel. Zhong Huan couldn't say that the fruit was provided to Hongda Hotel by himself, so he had to say that his fruit was given by Zhou Xin.
"You and Boss Zhou's son are friends! How did you meet? ”
Zhang Wei was immediately interested when he heard that Zhong Huan knew Zhou Xin, but anyone who opened a restaurant in the East China Sea didn't know about Hongda Hotel. It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Hongda is a star in the catering industry.
"Zhou Xin and I are college classmates, or buddies in the same dormitory." Zhong Huan said.
"Awesome, brother! The food at Hongda Hotel is notoriously delicious. You have such a good buddy, which can be regarded as a blessing. Zhang Wei said enviously.
"It's true. Once I went to their house as a guest, and the old man Zhou Ruixuan personally cooked, and the taste was really speechless......
Zhong Huan didn't mean to brag, but Zhang Wei, a cook, was too interested in the topic of eating, and unconsciously Zhong Huan dominated the topic. Then Zhang Shulan talked about Zhong Huan's opening of the company again. The pet company has the most cats and dogs, and naturally there are many interesting things about pets, and Zhang Chongwen's family also listens to them with relish, especially Xiao Zhang Hao, who is clamoring to see small animals.
Zhang Shulan and Zhang Chongwen's two families chatted lively, and Zhang Shumin's face was not good-looking. This time she invited Yu Gongce to attend the family gathering, thinking that her family could become the focus of the topic and surprise everyone, but she didn't expect the limelight to be stolen by the second sister's family, and she couldn't interject at all. She saw that Yu Gongce's face was not very good, presumably because she was also snubbed. And his daughter Zhang Miao was talking to Yu Gongce in a low voice, feeling like she was explaining something, and it seemed like she was apologizing. (To be continued.) )
