Chapter 326: Birthday Celebration

"It's just going to have a meal, and I'll be back soon, you don't have to ask for leave to go along." Zhou Wanwan asked Shen Guodong to put a coat on her body while trying to persuade him to go back at the last moment.

"Pull on the sleeves of your sweater, don't feel bad inside." Shen Guodong didn't take advantage of Zhou Wanwan's stubble at all.

"There are also the eldest brother and the second brother here, and there are no outsiders over there, they are all from Grandma's family, you really don't have to go with them."

Shen Guodong stopped and looked at Zhou Wanwan, rarely serious.

"You don't like to go." Zhou Wanwan lowered her eyes and muttered to him that she didn't speak.

Shen Guodong smiled immediately, the little girl felt sorry for him.

"If you don't like it, you have to go, anyway, you have to deal with it in the future, what's the difference between morning and night? Take the opportunity of your grandfather's 70th birthday to make him happy, maybe he can help me say a few good words in the future! ”

"You don't care about that, don't fool me." Zhou Wanwan gave up, anyway, there is no way for others to do what this person recognizes, so he can go if he wants to.

Shen Guodong didn't mention this matter anymore. No matter what Zhou Wanwan says, he must go.

Since Zhou Wanwan was kidnapped and taken away from Li's house, he has always tried not to let Zhou Wanwan go to Li's house, but it really doesn't make sense not to go this time.

Old man Li's seventieth birthday, the whole family went to celebrate his birthday, old man Li also sent Li Guohua over a few days ago, and instructed Zhou Yang to go over, and Shen Guodong had no excuse to stop him.

If he can't stop him, he has to follow by himself, anyway, he doesn't worry about going to Li's house in the evening, even if Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen are there, he is not at ease.

Last time there were so many people. Didn't Zhou Wanwan lose it too? As long as he remembered the situation at that time, he still had lingering palpitations, and he would never let this happen again.

February 26, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month is Old Man Li's 70th birthday. Seventy years old is a big birthday, and Li Houhua's children discussed it a few months in advance, and this year they will celebrate their father's birthday lively.

In this era, it is not a big day to hold a birthday banquet, no matter how much they attach importance to it, it can only be that all the children and grandchildren of the whole family have arrived, and they have a lively and lively reunion.

Fortunately, Old Man Li's biggest request is this, to be able to watch his children and grandchildren grow up in good health. The old man thinks that his seventy years of life are worth it!

So Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen didn't want their sister to go anymore, and they couldn't bear to disappoint their grandfather, so they could only say hello in advance. School is about to start, and there are a lot of things to do, so I can't stay longer, and I have to come back after a meal.

None of them will ever forget how their sister was lost there. Until now. It was a nightmare they would never let go.

There was Shen Guodong who deliberately rubbed it, and Xiao Wang who persevered to follow, and when they arrived at Songtun Li's house, all the children and grandchildren of Old Man Li had arrived. Thirty or forty adults and children were crowded, and the courtyard and house of the Li family were crowded lively.

"Yo! College students are coming! Hurry up and get inside! Grandpa has been talking about you for a long time! Wang Liqin came out of the steaming kitchen of Li Jinhua's house and greeted him with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and bring the tofu to my aunt, she is waiting to get out of the pot!" Ya'er didn't wait for Zhou Wanwan to speak, and ran over first to separate her from Wang Liqin. took her hand and walked to the house where Old Man Li and his old couple lived in the middle.

Old Man Li and Old Lady Li's house was crowded with people, and on the kang were seven or eight children, large and small. Running back and forth and making trouble, Old Man Li was carrying two four or five-year-old Tao boys on his back, the children of Li Qingsheng's family and Li Qingxue, and he was also holding a two or three-year-old girl in his arms, Li Miaoer's youngest daughter.

Zhou Wanwan followed Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen and said a few auspicious words to Old Man Li, and was pulled to the kang by Old Lady Li to warm up, "Let your eldest brother and them go to your uncle's house to stay, you are here to accompany Grandma today!" ”

In the two rooms of Li Houhua's house in the east are the men of the family, in the middle of the old man Li and their houses are the children of their granddaughter, granddaughter-in-law and great-grandchildren, and on the west side of Li Jinhua's house are the eldest aunt and second aunt with their daughter-in-law and granddaughter preparing meals.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen put down the gifts they brought to Old Man Li and wanted to go to the East House, but Shen Guodong refused to follow. He found himself a stool, sat leisurely among a group of women and children, drank boiling water, and made it clear that he was going to set up camp here.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen glanced at him, and also moved a stool to sit down with him, although they didn't quite understand what the hell he was doing, they couldn't let him sit here alone, it was too conspicuous.

Gu Shun's daughter-in-law saw Shen Guodong for the first time, and she made eye contact with Li Qingsheng's daughter-in-law Jiang Shuli, and she was very curious about this person who made people's hearts tremble when they looked at him.

Several other daughters-in-law with children in the house were also curious about this Shen Guodong, who looked very bad but very eyeless, how could a young man sit so generously in the women's pile? ! And their family didn't invite outsiders today, what's the matter with him coming?

Shen Guodong didn't care what others thought, when he arrived at the Li family, he couldn't let Zhou Wanwan leave his sight for a minute, what was it to sit in the pile of women and children? How else could he be afraid of this?

Fortunately, his weirdness didn't last long, and Guo Kejian came over.

Guo Kejian came to pay his birthday as Gu Tao's fiancé, "I heard that you were left in this house when you came, grandpa is really eccentric, shouldn't he give you anything delicious to eat when he drove us away?" I'm not leaving, I'm just waiting here, there's something good that can't pull me down. ”

Guo Kejian's gag, the atmosphere in the room immediately became less weird.

He has a gentle smile and a gentle temperament, a good temper and can talk, several older Tao boys like to play with him, as soon as they see him coming, the monkey will ask this and that beside him, even the most timid little girl let him tease a few words, and he is willing to leave Old Man Li's arms and let him hug.

Li Shuhua looked at the side more and more pleased, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and after watching Guo Kejian, who was loved by everyone, and then looked at Shen Guodong, who was sitting next to him and everyone was hiding, he couldn't help but pout the corners of his mouth, people are better than people, just like Shen Guodong, no matter how good his family is, what's the use of having money? She doesn't want to give it to her for nothing!

Besides, Guo Kejian is no worse than anyone now! He has been transferred to the Ling'an Coal Mine for several months. I filled out the recruitment form, but I didn't go down the well for a day, and when I got there, I was directly transferred to the cadre establishment. Now he is the publicity officer of the Ling'an Mining Bureau!

After two years, he will get a foothold over there, and he will marry Gu Tao, and then arrange a job for Gu Tao, and her daughter will be able to be a city person who eats and supplies food!

Can people do it without believing in fate? It is said that their Gu Tao's money to go to school was spent in vain, but now look at it, if Gu Tao doesn't go to school, can he get engaged to Guo Kejian? It's just that they are blind to their ancient apricots. If I had the money to go to school, maybe I would be able to find a good partner like Guo Kejian now!

As soon as she thought of this, Li Shuhua didn't want to look at Zhou Yang's brothers and sisters. The heart is so hard. No wonder I killed my mother and put my father in prison!

Old man Li and Mrs. Li had already instructed Li Shuhua not to be angry with Zhou Yang's children anymore, and today we had to let everyone have a happy reunion dinner.

Li Shuhua has a good son-in-law, and she doesn't expect the Zhou brothers and sisters to help her. The confidence is also sufficient. They ignored her, and she didn't want to see them upset, so she turned around and went out.

With Guo Kejian here, Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen took turns to go over to say hello to their uncles and cousins, and to say a few words to their aunts and cousins, and the family banquet at noon soon began.

In order to appear lively, everyone crowded into Old Man Li's house, two tables on the kang and two tables on the ground, and thirty or forty people sat down next to each other.

Everyone sat down. Old man Li picked up his wine glass and looked at his family with a smile. Before the wine was drunk, it was red.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Why didn't Xiaoxue come to the table? Li Guohua kept looking at the two tables of women and children, but he didn't find his fiancée Zhao Xiaoxue for a long time.

Li Guohua is Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he has always refused to find a target in the countryside, but he is not a regular worker in the city, and the girls in the city don't look down on him at all, so he didn't find a partner until this year.

Zhao Xiaoxue works as a kitchen in a state-run hotel, is a regular national employee who eats and supplies food, and most importantly, her father is a hotel manager who can help Li Guohua solve work problems, so even if Zhao Xiaoxue's leg is a little lame, it is not a problem.

Li Guohua finally found a city partner, and asked the future father-in-law to help solve the work problem, it was the spring breeze when he was proud, this time it was good to talk about it and discuss it for several months, so that Zhao Xiaoxue agreed to go home with him to pay homage to his birthday, and let the whole family look at this girl in the city.

The girl in the city is different from the girl in the countryside, she is squeamish, she was taken by bicycle for more than 60 miles, cold and tired, and when she got home, he arranged for him to sleep in the room.

Li Guohua went to see Mrs. Li a little dissatisfied, how could she not pay attention to Xiaoxue when she came back first? Forgot to eat?

"I went and called, she said she wanted to sleep a little longer, I left all the good dishes for her, don't worry!" Li Shuhua hurriedly reassured his younger brother.

For Li Guohua, Li Shuhua is not like a sister, but more like a mother. She is nearly twenty years older than Li Guohua, and this little brother grew up in her arms since she was a child, and later had a few Gushun and ancient peaches, and Li Guohua also shared it equally with several nephews about what she had to eat.

When the eldest sister said this, Li Guohua was relieved, and regardless of Li Houhua's words, she raised her wine glass and toasted Old Man Li with a smile.

It's all a family, Li Houhua doesn't care about these at all, he honestly let his younger brother behave in front of his father, and specially took care of Shen Guodong and Guo Kejian, the two guests, and everyone talked and laughed.

"You guys ate it first?!" After eating for a while, the door of the inner room opened, and a girl with big pigtails came out.

This girl looked twenty-two or three years old, her facial features were very delicate, but her complexion was a little dark, she was not tall, small and small, she stared at a room of people, and her eyes were so aggrieved that tears rolled in her eyes, "Why don't you wait for me to eat first?!" ”

Everyone stopped their chopsticks and looked at her, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Yo! Xiaoxue is awake! Come and eat! I just called you, you said you wanted to sleep a little longer, I left all the dishes for you, and I will give you a hot one! Li Shuhua hurriedly put down the rice bowl, wiped her mouth with her hand, and got off the table to pull Zhao Xiaoxue on the kang.

Zhao Xiaoxue hurriedly dodged Li Shuhua's oily hand that had just wiped his mouth, and pointed at Li Guohua aggrievedly, "Li Guohua! Your family is too much! I came all the way to celebrate your father's birthday, and you didn't wait for me to eat! You don't pay attention to me so much, and you still let me come! What should I do? Are you angry?! ”

Li Guohua hurriedly came over to coax his fiancée, "It's not that I don't pay attention to you, there are many children in the family, and they are all hungry, so I ate first, and the eldest sister has set aside all the good dishes for you, can you keep them for you if you don't pay attention to them?" ”

"Xiaoxue, look, I went to call you before dinner, you said you wanted to sleep for a while......" Li Shuhua said while looking at Li Guohua, it is not easy for her brother to find a partner in the city, especially this object can also solve her brother's work problems, she is really afraid that she will offend herself.

The younger brother has become a city person, and with the support of such a tough father-in-law, it is not a matter of words to take care of Gu Shun and Gu Xing in the future? So Li Shuhua and this future brother-in-law are even better.

"What's wrong with me sleeping a little longer? You can't wait for me for a while?! When you first came back, your family didn't pay attention to me so much, and you don't know how to bully me in the future! Zhao Xiaoxue was so aggrieved that tears came down at once, "Li Guohua! You have no conscience! ”

"Okay, okay, don't cry," Li Guohua hurriedly coaxed, pulling Zhao Xiaoxue to the woman's table on the kang to eat, "Eat first, if you don't eat, you're hungry." ”

"Eldest sister, you heat up the dishes left for Xiaoxue and serve them to her alone." Li Guohua coaxed and persuaded Zhao Xiaoxue under the gaze of the whole family, and everyone could finally continue to eat.

Old man Li and Mrs. Li pinched the wine glass and didn't say a word, the marriage of the youngest son is the biggest heart problem of their old couple, this is easy to find a girl in the city, and can help solve the work, be squeamish if you are squeamish, it is better than your son to be a single for a lifetime!

Li Shuhua quickly brought up the hot dishes for Zhao Xiaoxue, and was about to serve her rice, Zhao Xiaoxue looked at Li Shuhua's oily hands, holding her own bowl but refused to hand it over, "No need for you, your hand of oil is greasy to look at." ”

Li Shuhua subconsciously rubbed her hands on her apron, and stood there awkwardly looking at Zhao Xiaoxue with a disgusted face.

The room was quiet for a while, and everyone's faces were very complicated, but Old Man Li and Old Mrs. Li had already spoken, Zhao Xiaoxue was a girl in the city, and she must be more squeamish than rural people, so let everyone take care of it, and everyone would not say anything at this time.

"Xiaoxue, your sister Shuhua has been busy giving you hot dishes for a long time, let her eat, I'll serve you food, I washed my hands well before eating." The second aunt Qiu Cuilan went over with a smile, pushed Li Shuhua to the table and sat down, and went over to take Zhao Xiaoxue's job.

Zhao Xiaoxue looked at the thick joints and a few black and red scars on Qiu Cuilan's hands, frowning and still refusing to hand over her rice bowl.

She picked up a circle at the dining table where the woman was sitting, and pointed to Zhou Wanwan, who was feeding the little girl of Li Qingsheng's family one bite at a time, "It's just you, you go and serve me rice, don't serve too much, just half a bowl, I don't have as much food as you rural people." (To be continued......)
