On Friday evening, the Li family dressed up and went out for a banquet.

The Li family walked leisurely all the way, and the houses in this area are basically mansions, and you can see various styles of buildings from time to time along the way. After passing by a dozen large mansions, they came to the gate of Casaro's house.

At this time, there were still ten minutes away from the banquet time indicated on the invitation, and there were two or three waiters standing outside the door receiving visiting guests, Li Chenghua handed the invitation to one of the waiters, and then the Li family and others were politely welcomed into the house by the waiters.

Casaro's house is similar to the Li family's new home, facing the sea, with a small private beach, a large lawn behind the house, a glass house and a swimming pool. Therefore, the waiter led everyone through the house to the lawn behind the house, and everyone in the Li family did not look at the house with curious eyes, but let the waiter guide them directly to the master and his wife.

From a distance, I saw Mark standing beside his mother, Mrs. Quinn, in a glorious costume, laughing and chatting with the master and his wife, and Mrs. Quinn saw the Li family coming over, and smiled and took the arm of Li Zhou Fangmei and took the initiative to help the two families introduce each other.

Because the invitation indicated that the dress was casual, Jabri Casaro, as the male host, did not wear a straight suit, but wore a light blue polo short-sleeved, looking about forty-five or sixteen, and at first glance he looked like a suave and successful businessman. The hostess, Claudia, wore an elegant long dress, her hair was pulled up high, and her makeup was exquisite, and she looked only in her early forties.

Through Mrs. Quinn's introduction, the two families shook hands with each other and the women hugged each other.

"Hello, Mrs. Quinn. Hi Uncle Mark. The children came up to say hello.

"Hey, sweethearts." Mrs. Quinn crouched down and gave each of the three children a kiss on the cheek.

Li Chenghua, who had just shaken hands with the man, hooked his shoulders like Mark's buddies, and asked with curiosity on his face: "Hey, Mark, didn't you go to New York to watch the fashion show before?" Well, I remember you said, it seems that your new model girl friend is the main show. As he spoke, he leaned into Mark's ear and whispered, "By the way, what's her name, Claire?" Or is it called Jennifer? Sorry, your girlfriends changed so fast, I can't remember them for a while, but I remember that they both had your favorite blonde hair. ”

Mark winked at his buddy in the direction of Mrs. Quinn, meaning that his mother was on the side, and the topic would be discussed privately. Then he deliberately digressed the topic and said: "My mother and Claudia's cousin were college classmates, and I myself and Jabri were good friends, and the couple decided to move their new home here after listening to my description of the scenery, so I flew back in the afternoon." ”

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, the man and woman led everyone to a long dining table on the side. There was a variety of drinks and food on the table, and the adults held up their glasses, of course, while Pei Pei and his brothers as children had to choose between juice and milk.

"Hello, Mrs. Casaro?" The county lady held a gift box in her arms, and blinked her eyes to look at the hostess Claudia.

"This cute little sweetheart is Jimmy's little classmate Peipei, what a charming little girl." The hostess Claudia had already noticed the little girl in front of her, and when she heard the little girl's greeting, she hurriedly showed a kind smile on Peipei's face, stepped forward and touched the little girl's cheek, squatted down and couldn't wait to give the little girl a cheek kiss.

The man knows that his wife is a Barbie control, since his wife's second child failed to give birth to a daughter but a child, and learned from the doctor that she will not be able to have children again because of dystocia. Since then, there has been one more Barbie doll in his wife's many collecting hobbies, and there is also a special room for Barbie doll collection, which has a collection of all kinds of Barbie dolls, and when she sees a beautiful little girl, she can't help but come forward and kiss and touch it.

"Ahem." The hostess, Jabri, pulled his wife, who had a smile on her face, and greeted the little girl cordially, "Hello, cutie, Jimmy has been looking forward to your arrival, I heard that you are coming, he is dressing upstairs now, and he will go downstairs in a while." ”

"I'm very happy to be here for this dinner." The county lord nodded reservedly, and then handed the beautifully wrapped gift box that had been holding in his arms to the Casaro couple, "This is the ointment I made myself, and I welcome your family to be our new neighbor." ”

The hostess, Claudia, smiled and took the little girl's gift, unpacking it, and inside was a frosted bottle of about 50 ml, with a beautiful bow on the neck. "Did you make it yourself? Ointment? Is it eaten? Claudia asked the little girl curiously.

Mrs. Quinn seemed to be very close to Mrs. Casaro, and reached out to take the bottle and smiled at the hostess, "Claudia, the ointment made by the little Pei Pei is very useful, and I can't do without it now." Didn't you ask me before why I'm so young now, because I used this? It is said that a lot of Chinese herbs are used in it, which can be eaten, can also be used as a mask, and can also be scooped up a spoonful and put in the water for bathing. Just look at my current skin, and many of my friends have asked me why. You remember to store it in the refrigerator for a long time. ”

Qin Wanyu also explained to the hostess with a smile on the side: "Mrs. Casaro, I originally wanted to bring a bottle of red wine as a gift, but my daughter said that most of the gifts she gave as a guest were red wine, and she must give her the ointment she made herself, saying that such a gift is even more special." ”

"Cutie is so right, I love the gift she gave." Claudia bent down and gave the little girl another forehead kiss, then got up and smiled at Qin Wanyu: "You can call me Claudia, I like your daughter very much, she is really an angel." Can I call you Alice in the future? I like to be called that, it's so affectionate. We're neighbors, and you'll have to call me when you go out shopping with Anne (Mrs. Quinn's name) in the future. ”

After speaking, Claudia made a gesture of shrugging her shoulders and spreading her hands, winked at Qin Wanyu and smiled: "Men are busy with business all day long, and we women can only be housewives at home, so I think since we live so close, we can often get together to chat and go shopping in the future, and we can also agree on a fixed time to have an afternoon tea party to talk about topics such as beauty and maintenance, alas, the days of housewives are so boring!" We've got to have some fun on our own, don't we? ”

Qin Wanyu also smiled, "That's really good." If you have time at noon next Wednesday, you can come to my house with Mrs. Quinn, who loves to eat Chinese food from my cook. ”

Li Zhou Fangmei also continued: "When the time comes, I will personally cook the soup." ”

The women began to talk about topics of interest to them

As soon as the women talked about these topics, the men were not interested in women's topics, and the four big men were bored after listening to the conversation of these women for a while, so Mark winked at the male host, and then glanced at Li Chenghua.

After receiving Mark's hint, Jibri and Li Chenghua understood very well, and then Jibri coughed and said, "Do you want to go see my cigar room?" I just recently collected a batch of Cuban Grand Cru cigars, how about we go to the cigar room and smoke one? ”

The men fled under the pretext of smoking cigars, and Lord Pei and his younger brothers were led by their grandmothers to listen boredly to a group of women's shopping, beauty, cooking, and other topics.
