Fortunately, Mei Lan and Cai Ganlin's worries did not last long, although Mu Sinian was a little happy to see this family affair come to fruition, but he didn't want his children to put their energy on this too early, he didn't want his children to follow his old path, fifteen or sixteen years old early love, at this time the mind was not mature, but made a mess of his life.

    So, as soon as Murong Ning graduated from junior high school, Mu Sinian sent the twins to the United States to study in high school, so that Mei Lan didn't have to worry about whether it was time to send Ning Ning to Hong Kong to study.

     But Murong Ning returns to China every holiday, and every time he comes back, he comes to visit Cai Jiqing, in addition, the two occasionally meet at some Go events, Mei Lan doesn't interfere too much in this, for fear of being self-defeating.

    In a flash, another five years have passed, this year Ningning graduated from high school, in order to celebrate the child became the champion of the city's college entrance examination this year, and also to celebrate her eighteenth birthday, Meilan planned to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the child, and invited a group of relatives and friends to watch the ceremony.

     On this day, from the morning, Meilan's family began to be busy, first spread a piece of red felt in the open space in the yard, then prepare tables and chairs, arrange catering, from half past nine, the guests came and went in an endless stream, the first batch of guests were their relatives, after Deng Jianwen retired, saw Peng Peng settled in the capital, so he also moved to the capital, by the way Liu Qiaozhen and Deng Wenxiang took over, Zhou Guizhi left four years ago.

    The days of the Deng family are up, but the life of the Mei family is not very good, Wang Ximei has been sick for so many years, and most of the medical expenses are borne by Mei Baoping. Finally, at the age of thirty, he hurriedly married a university teacher, who knew that after a year of marriage, the other party couldn't bear to file for divorce, but it happened that Mei Ju had a child in her belly, Deng Hongying had to take Mei Ju and his wife home to take care of them personally, without those housework contradictions. The two lived peacefully for three years. But three years later, Wang Ximei was seriously ill, and Deng Hongying and Mei Baoping had to go home to fulfill their filial piety. Mei Ju and her husband had to move back to their home, and in less than half a year, the man filed for divorce again, and his attitude was very resolute. Mei Ju was also a clueless person, and signed in a fit of anger. Then took her daughter back to her hometown, and after Wang Ximei found out, it was said that she didn't come up in one breath and left directly, but she just sent Wang Ximei to the end.

    The situation of plum bamboo is not much stronger than that of plum chrysanthemum. After the divorce, Mei Zhu went back to be her sales lady, and two years later found a man who divorced with a son, and this time Mei Zhu did not have the pressure to have a son. Unfortunately, after Meizhu gave birth to a daughter, this man also picked up his parents. In the name of taking care of Meizhu and her little granddaughter, in fact, the other party is afraid that she will be partial, so Meizhu has been begging for a living between her mother-in-law and stepson over the years, and she can't be the master financially.

    Fortunately, Mei Xin has developed well in recent years, after returning from studying abroad that year, he entered one of the largest construction companies in Beijing, did not rely on Mei Lan, bought a house with a mortgage and got married, and after accumulating some popularity, the couple opened a design company, and there is no problem at all to raise a family.

    When Mei Lan was talking to Mei Xin, she saw Gu Pu's family coming, followed by Guo Yang and Jin Jing's family, Li Zhican's family, and Tian Kun's family, several of them later settled in the capital, Guo Yang, Jin Jing and Tian Kun are the backbone of Lan Zhiai Medical Research Institute, and they have been getting closer to Mei Lan, and Li Zhican is the chief economist hired by Mei Lan.

    "Meilan, congratulations, your daughters are adults, and our children have just learned to make soy sauce. Tian Kun still glanced up and down at Mei Lan with his small squinting eyes.

    Mei Lan knew that he was referring to Ning Ning, his son was just eight years old this year, and Ning Ning was already eighteen, so he couldn't catch up.

    "Virtue. Mei Lan glanced at his son's little squinting eyes that were the same as his, and pinched the child's cheek, but he didn't hit him like a young man, how could he say that there was still his wife standing next to him.

     "I didn't say my son, I meant someone's son. Tian Kun glanced at Li Zhican defiantly.

    "My husband can understand the local dialect, if you are not afraid that he will invite you to tea, you can just talk nonsense." Merlin smiled.

    Tian Kun heard this, and hurriedly turned his head to joke with Gu Pu and Anita Mui.

    Mei Lan saw this and was about to welcome the guests inside, when she saw Duan Hangang and the three families coming, Duan Yi asked Mei Lan as soon as she entered the door, "Second aunt, where is Ning Ning?" ”

    Before Mei Lan could speak, she saw a voice at the door asking, "Who is looking for me?" ”

    Mei Lan looked at the gate, and this time it was Mu Sinian's family and Wu Renyue's family who came in.

    "My aunt is still so young and beautiful. Murong Ning first opened his mouth to compliment Mei Lan.

    ", whose son is this, so handsome, and his mouth is so good at talking? Merlan's eyes narrowed.

    The young man in front of him combines the advantages of Mousse Nian and Xia Tong, his facial features are long, handsome with a little delicate, and his eyebrows are very thick, adding a bit of heroism to the whole face, in short, Murong Ning, who is standing in front of Mei Lan, has completely taken off his youthful childishness, and is an out-and-out young man.

    "Auntie, and me, don't you recognize me?" Another tall handsome guy, Xia Changmiao, asked.

    "Mei Lan, if you say you don't recognize my son, I'll cry to you immediately." Wu Renyue's wife Zhao Muzhi said.

    After Xia Changmiao went back that year, he said that he liked Cai Jiqing, and Zhao Muzhi then followed Wu Renyue to visit Mei Lan and Ning Ning, according to her wishes, I couldn't wait to make a decision for her son at that time.

    "Look at your point, I thought you would say that I would turn around and leave immediately, but it turned out that you were crying to show me, but you were crying." Merlin said with a smile.

     "I don't cry, you want to see the excitement, you are beautiful, Mei Lan, seriously, why are you still so young with this face?" What are the secrets of your family, otherwise, I will try it at your house for three months. Zhao Muzhi stepped forward and touched Mei Lan's face.

    "Get out, I don't want you." Merlin brushed her hand away.

    Her face hasn't been well maintained at all, but in the end she is also a forty-year-old person, no matter how young she is, it doesn't look like a little girl's skin, and a person who pretends to be thirty years old is still a little credible.

    "Okay. The guests are almost here, so sit down and let's get ready. Cai Ganlin came over and hugged Mei Lan.

    The two returned to the courtyard behind, and Ning Ning changed into a Hanfu embroidered with red flowers on a white background and talked to Duan Yi and Murong Ning.

    Actually, according to Cai Ganlin's meaning, he wanted to hold a New Year's gift for his child, but Mei Lan was afraid of arousing questions from the outside world. Besides, the child is eighteen years old. It's not fifteen, just follow the flow to hold a coming-of-age ceremony.

    "Whose daughter is so beautiful?" Mei Lan took Ning Ning's hand, how pleasing her child looked.

    "Mom." You're praising yourself, aren't you? Ning Ning tilted her head and smiled playfully, "Actually, everyone says that I am like my father in many places." ”

    "Pull it down." You're like your dad and you're broken, with a paralyzed face all day long. Merlin pouted.

    "Huh? Cai Ganlin stretched out his voice on the side.

    "But there is a benefit. It's just that there are no wrinkles, you can smile when you see that I'm fine, and the corners of my eyes are wrinkled. Merlin smiled.

    " is the same as before. Cai Ganlin took a serious look at the corner of Mei Lan's eyes and said.

    "Dad. You also have a bit of a principle, okay? Now it's Ning Ning's turn to pout.

    "You don't understand this, my second uncle's principle is that what my second aunt says and does is right, even if my second aunt is wrong, it is right." Duan Yi said on the side.

    "Okay. Boy, don't put a top hat on me. Useless. Ning Ning, go, go out with Dad. Cai Ganlin patted Duan Yi's head and stretched out his hand to hold Ning Ning.

    A family of three walked to the door of the upper room, the courtyard was already full of guests, and the children were running around in the courtyard.

    The opening remarks were Cai Ganlin said, "Distinguished guests, relatives and friends, thank you for taking the time to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of the little girl, Cai is here to bow to everyone." ”

    Cai Ganlin finished speaking, Mei Lan took Ning Ning and bowed.

    "Time flies so fast, I think when the little girl came out of the delivery room, Cai in addition to the joy of being a new father, more is panic and overwhelmed, because he has never been a father, afraid that he will not be able to be a father, these years with the growth of his daughter, Cai has also been growing up, learning to be a good father. ”

    Cai Ganlin's words suddenly paused when he said this, it turned out that there were new guests at the gate, it was Minister Li and He Yuanchao, Zhou Zhenhua and the No. 1 head of the year, these people have taken a back seat, and they have all reached their old age, they can come to Mei Lan's house to participate in the child's coming-of-age ceremony, but Mei Lan is overjoyed.

    Mei Lan stepped forward to welcome the guests in, and before she could speak, someone had already vacated the position in front, and several old people sat down, waved their hands, and asked Cai Ganlin to continue.

    "In a blink of an eye, the little girl will reach the age of eighteen and will soon enter the ranks of adults. Adult, although these two words are simple to write, they contain rich and profound content. Son, Father wants you to remember two things: responsibility and value. We want you to be a responsible and responsible person. Only people who know how to be responsible and can be responsible can be recognized and accepted by the society and become a truly respected person... ”

    Cai Ganlin finished speaking, there was a burst of applause, and someone shouted, "Mom, let's also say a few words, Mom is an excellent diplomat, Mom come a few words." ”

    Mei Lan smiled, stretched out her hand to pull her daughter's hair, and said with a smile: "Mom's words are very simple, I hope my daughter will be a valuable and accomplished person in the future." True success in life lies in being able to do what you are good at, to benefit others and the world, to be dedicated, to be worthy of your heart, and to live a happy and fulfilling life. That's enough. ”

    After Mei Lan's words were finished, there was more enthusiastic applause, especially the No. 1 leader of the year, he also stood up, and Mei Lan hurriedly helped him to the front.

     "I haven't come out to meet you for a long time, today I take the opportunity of Minister Mei's daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, I also come out to turn around, I have a few words to the children present today, but also to the children of the whole world, first, to know how to be grateful; Second, be sure to be a kind person; Third, be a hardworking person; Fourth, and finally, be a person who contributes to society, as Minister Mei said. ”

    Next, several old chiefs said a few words, and then Ah Yu and Ah Xing came out with the piano stand and the guqin in their arms, and the piano stand was placed on the carpet, and Ning Ning walked over and sat on the ground.

    "In order to thank all relatives and friends for coming to the show, I, Cai Jiqing, played a song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" for everyone. ”

    As soon as Ning Ning's words were finished, a few fingers plucked on the strings, and the melodious and smooth tune began to circle in everyone's ears.

    Mei Lan saw this and looked at Xia Tong, Xia Tong spread his hands and shook his head, also with a look of surprise, Zhao Muzhi was so anxious that he stomped his feet, regretting not letting his son learn to.

     A song, the applause was thunderous, some laughed, and some were annoyed and unconvinced, for example, Duan Yi and Xia Changmiao were not convinced.

    " doesn't count, which makes a fraud. ”

    "Good boy, your dad used this trick to propose to your mom in a theater in Boston, but I didn't expect you to come too." Wu Renyue patted Murong Ning on the shoulder.

    "What's good, it's as cunning as your dad." Zhao Muzhi said angrily.

    "Each according to his ability, if he loses, he loses, what is there to complain about." Mu Sinian glanced at Zhao Muzhi.

What does "    " mean? Mei Lan, is your daughter a coming-of-age ceremony or a marriage ceremony today? Zhao Muzhi said that he couldn't say that Mu Sinian turned to Mei Lan.

    "Stupid, you still have two daughters in your family, and Meilan's family has two sons." Xia Tong said in Zhao Muzhi's ear.

    Zhao Muzhi looked at the pair of twins standing beside Ning Ning, nodded, and smiled.

    "Haha, Meilan, yes, you have cultivated a good daughter, and the family has a hundred women. Minister Li said with a smile that he has been calling himself Ning Ning's godfather all these years.

    "The little girl is still young, and I want to keep her for a few more years, but it's too early to say that. Mei Lan hurriedly said.

    "Okay, it's rare for everyone to get together today, drink, drink. Cai Ganlin waved his hand.

    The guests were all seated, Mei Lan looked at the black pressure on a bunch of people sitting in the yard, as well as the children running and playing on the side, and whispered to Cai Ganlin, "I am really old, looking at my daughter standing in front of me, I remembered that when I was her age, I went to the hospital as a nurse to earn some pitiful tuition, and accidentally ran into an unreasonable unlucky patient like you." ”

    Cai Ganlin heard this and took Mei Lan's hand, "Madam, thank you for meeting me at that time, otherwise where would you get three such good babies." ”

    "What's the use, the children are going to leave us after all." Mei Lan looked at her daughter sitting next to Murong Ning and said that it was fake not to be lost.

    "Children will eventually grow up and leave us, and in the future, I will grow old with you." ”

    Mei Lan heard this, looked at Murong Ning and Ning Ning again, turned to Cai Ganlin, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, husband, you will be my heaven for the rest of my life." ”

    Daughters have their own days sooner or later, and sons have to be other people's days sooner or later, only the people around them are the days of their own lives. (To be continued)
