Chapter 05 Gift-giving
Liu Simiao was puzzled, "Are you also a painter?" Forget it, don't care about it for now, it's good to have a painting, even if the level is a little worse, you can just pass today. ”
Even if Liu Mingxin is really a painter, Liu Simiao doesn't think that the other party's paintings can be any better, after all, with Liu Mingxin's age, it is very likely that he is still a student who has not graduated.
"Broken paintings? Level difference? I said Miss Liu, what do you know, I'm also ......, forget it, you will know the value of my paintings in the future. ”
Liu Mingxin just wanted to say that he was a genius painter at the Capital Academy of Fine Arts, but when he thought that he had been kicked out of the academy in disguise, he didn't continue.
"Okay, it's just a painting, look at what makes you feel distressed, and after my grandfather's birthday, I'll give you back more than ten or twenty pieces." Looking at Liu Mingxin's angry expression on his dark face, Liu Simiao did not continue to stimulate the other party, but what he said made Liu Ming's heart angry.
is also a dozen or twenty pairs of herself, this girl really thinks that her own paintings are the kind of street goods that can be mass-produced, Liu Mingxin was almost not angry with the other party.
"The stinky girl still knows to come back? Your grandfather was still talking to you just now, saying that he must discipline you well this time, and don't run around like a crazy girl all day long. Just as Liu Ming wanted to refute Liu Simiao's words, a somewhat low and slightly hoarse voice came from front of them.
"Grandma, did you say that about your own granddaughter?" After hearing the voice, Liu Simiao immediately ran over, hugged her grandmother's arm, and was very obedient.
Seeing the granddaughter who sold cuteness to herself, Zheng Shuhua was also very helpless, among the many grandchildren, this granddaughter was the most pleasing to the two old people and the one that worried the two old people the most.
"Young man, you are the boyfriend we love Miao Miao said, yes, the young man is really good-looking, and he looks very energetic, I want to come to our house Miao Miao has caused you a lot of trouble, right?"
Ignoring her granddaughter who was shaking her arm, Zheng Shuhua directly set her eyes on Liu Mingxin's body, and then said very kindly.
It is undeniable that Liu Mingxin's appearance is still quite good, although he is dressed very ordinarily, it is difficult to hide his Zhuoya temperament from the inside out, especially he has a very peculiar affinity, as long as he looks at it, it can make people have an urge to get close.
"Grandma, hello, I'm Si Miao's boyfriend, my name is Liu Mingxin, you can call me Xiao Liu." Although Liu Mingxin is not Liu Simiao's real boyfriend, he likes the old man in front of him very much, people like him who have never seen his grandparents since he was a child, have a kind heartfelt kindness to an old man like Zheng Shuhua.
"Yes, grandma, you can just call him Xiaoliuzi, I think grandpa must be in a hurry, let's hurry in, right?" After Liu Simiao finished speaking, she helped Zheng Shuhua and walked towards the main room.
"Nonsense again, what little willows, how ugly! Remember not to bully people Xiaoyanagi in the future, got it? Zheng Shuhua casually taught her granddaughter a lesson, and was carried into the house by Liu Mingxin and Liu Simiao.
When Liu Mingxin entered the room, he found that the room was already full of people at this time, and on the Taishi chair sitting on the seat was a sturdy old man with silver hair.
From the moment he entered the house, Liu Mingxin noticed that the other party's gaze had never left his body, and the other party's sharp eyes made him feel uncomfortable, and his heart was a little cold.
Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, just as Liu Mingxin felt that he was being stabilized by the other party in terms of momentum, he suddenly felt a clear stream coming from his chest, making his entire body a shock, and the feeling of depression added to his body was swept away.
This feeling is very wonderful, as if his soul has been sublimated in the dark, a sense of transcendence arises spontaneously, it is a courage, but also a will, this courage makes him face his fate and refuse to bow his head, this will makes him indomitable, never subservient.
"Good, good, good, good young man, the future is bright!" Seeing the changes in Liu Mingxin's body, Liu Menglong praised with a satisfied face.
Hearing the old man's praise, Liu Mingxin said very modestly: "Grandpa Liu, you praise it falsely." ”
"Don't be humble, come and sit next to me with Miao Miao." Liu Menglong beckoned to Liu Mingxin and said very casually.
"This ......, I think grandpa, you should let the elders sit next to you, and we juniors will sit on the periphery."
Generally, large families pay attention to the order of the elders and young, and the head of the family should sit next to the elders of the same generation or slightly inferior generations.
How can Liu Mingxin, the junior of his grandchildren, have the reason to sit next to Liu Menglong, isn't this a slap in the face of the head of the family?
"Don't talk nonsense, do you still wronged you by letting you sit next to me? Rest assured, no one dares to raise any objections to what I say here, even if it is your future father-in-law, he will not dare to say anything. After hearing Liu Mingxin's words, he said very domineeringly.
"Xiaoliu, right, you can do it with Miao Miao, in our Liu family is not so particular, you just need to remember, as long as you do what the old man said, it will be right."
Liu Tianshan, who had just learned Liu Mingxin's name from his daughter, heard his father's words, and hurriedly gave Liu Mingxin a look, and asked very loudly, Obviously, his words were mainly in response to what his father said.
Although the Liu family is not a political family, as a business family, the Liu family naturally has a lot of rules, but with such a strong old man, the so-called rules of the Liu family are useless.
It can be said that Liu Tianshan and several of his brothers were beaten by their father from childhood to adulthood, and the majesty of the old man is not just as simple as words.
For Liu Tianshan, who is now over the age of confusion, he doesn't want to be so old and have to take a few kicks from his father, so he will lose face together, so as soon as the old man spoke, he immediately responded positively.
"In that case, then I might as well be respectful." Although Liu Mingxin doesn't know Liu Tianshan, but from the similarity between the other party and Liu Simiao, you can also guess that it is not far from ten, which shows that Liu Mingxin still trusts what this future "old Taishan" said.
Of course, the most important thing is that as soon as Old Man Liu called him and Liu Simiao to go over just now, the girl had already taken the initiative to sit down, and it was a little difficult for Liu Mingxin to find a reason not to go over.
Liu Mingxin now understands that in this Liu family, Old Man Liu's prestige is very deep!
If nothing else, just look at the submissive appearance of this room full of people in front of the old man, it is not difficult to guess.
Therefore, at this time, Liu Mingxin, who knew what to expect, generously walked next to the old man and sat down next to Liu Simiao.
Seeing Liu Mingxin sitting over, the old man Liu Menglong spoke: "Okay, now that the personnel have arrived, you juniors have brought the gifts you brought to the old man, let me see if there are any new things this time." ”
Old Man Liu is mighty, and even asking for gifts is so straightforward, he is dumbfounded when he looks at Liu Mingxin, this Old Man Liu is really a person with a lot of personality!
Looking at the dozens of people of all sizes who lined up one by one and presented gifts with both hands, Liu Mingxin sighed that the old man had a good way of governing the family, and he could make a large family so well-behaved and obedient, I am afraid that there are few families in the entire Huaxia Kingdom that can compare, right?
However, although the descendants of the Liu family are as well-behaved as rabbits in front of the old man, they are all full of energy in private, and they all want to show themselves in front of the old man.
After all, as long as the old man is alive for a day, this family will not be the turn of others, if his gift can make the old man look happy, maybe the next few years of expenses will be settled.
It can be said that Mr. Liu has a wide range of branches, in addition to his three sons, he also has four daughters, although now the lord is only set up here for a family banquet, but seven children plus a large number of third-generation juniors, this base is not too much.
However, what shocked Liu Mingxin was not the many younger family members of the old man, but the various expensive gifts that these people took out, most of the things of the older generation are mainly calligraphy and paintings, and the price of the gifts is basically in the hundreds of thousands and millions.
However, the gifts of the younger generation are mostly jade, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and their value is obviously lower than that of the elders, but even the lowest value items have shocked Liu Mingxin, what does this family do, why are they so rich?
It didn't take long for only a little girl who was only about three or four years old to stagger over to the long queue just now, causing everyone to laugh heartily.
"Grandpa, Min Min gave you my favorite candy, you have to ask your parents to return a few more bags to me in the future, otherwise Min Min won't give you candy to eat." After Min Min finished speaking, she opened a pair of big eyes and kept staring at the old man Liu Menglong, as if if the other party didn't agree, she wouldn't send the candy over.
The old man was also amused by his cute little granddaughter: "Haha......, okay, I will definitely ask your parents to buy a few more bags of sugar candy for our family Min Min in the future." ”
When Min Min handed over the toffee in his hand to the old man, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on a certain person.
