Chapter 36: 100th Birthday
Following those who brought gifts, Nuan Nuan and Zhong Ai successfully blended into the birthday star's house.
Nuan Nuan has also been here before, isn't that where Mr. Ning lives!
In the front yard hall, the old birthday boy wore a red coat, sat on a carved wooden chair and talked to people, and only said a word when others greeted him. Every time a guest comes in to participate in the birthday banquet with a gift list, someone goes up to receive the gift list, and those guests greet the old birthday star according to their seniority and enter the courtyard.
Zhong Ai glanced at the old birthday star at the door of the hall, and walked in with Nuan Nuan.
Nuan Nuan didn't check for a while, was pulled in, and suddenly felt that Zhong Ai was too unreliable, and said that he would take a sneak peek before, but now he rushed directly to the front of others, she pulled Zhong Ai, and signaled Zhong Ai to hurry up while others didn't look at it, what do you think......
"Great-grandfatherβ" Zhong Ai called out sweetly.
When Old Man Chen heard this crisp and neat shout, he immediately looked over, saw that it was two young girls, and asked with a smile, "Where is the little girl?" β
"We grew up in a foreign country, and great-grandfather never met us." Zhong Ai said in a non-questionable voice.
Nuan Nuan wanted to find a hole to get into at this time, and the person sitting on the lower left hand side of the old birthday star was not Mr. Ning, but who was it? Everyone else was looking at the talker, but she could feel the man looking at her, which made her fidget.
"Are your parents here?" Old Man Chen seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Here, in the back, let's go fast, let's come here first to talk to great-grandpa." Zhong Ai said with a grin.
Nuan Nuan saw that the more she talked about her love, the more she pulled it, and she grabbed her love. said to Old Man Chen: "Old man, we are actually people from the resort next door. Just in time for the old man, you are 100 years old, and I want to talk to you. Get some blessings! β
Zhong Ai turned her head to look at Nuan Nuan suspiciously, not understanding why she suddenly told the truth.
Nuan Nuan's body leaned slightly and lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Ai, don't make it up, there are people who know us here!" β
Zhong Ai blinked, her eyes rolling, looking at the people here, looking for the people who "knew them", but unfortunately she didn't know anyone here.
"Ha Luha, the two little girls are really funny! Since I have accepted the word 'great-grandfather'. I'm going to have to keep you down for a banquet today. Old Man Chen said happily.
"Xie Lu, thank you, old man! Then we'll go out first. Zhong Ai suddenly smiled.
Nuan Nuan also breathed a sigh of relief, now she can finally go! She was about to walk out of the hall with her beloved, but a shout came from behind her.
"Wait."
Nuan Nuan heard this familiar voice and turned her head to look over, but the man didn't look at this side, but looked at Old Man Chen and the couple opposite who were very temperamental and good-looking, if it weren't for his next words faintly involving her, she would mistakenly think that what he said just now was not said to them.
"Didn't you say you had a chance to meet the man who saved me?" That's what he said.
"That little girl is one of them, I'll have to guess. Is it the little girl who just called me 'great-grandfather'? Old Man Chen said.
The man sitting at the right of Old Man Chen's hand raised his lips and smiled: "Master, your vision of seeing people needs to be improved!" β
"Why, isn't it?"
"Nan Ting said that the girl who saved Xiaoyou is more petite." It was the elegant woman who was present that said this.
Hear the word "petite". The warm heart that had just turned around was suddenly hit by an arrow, and you didn't see how many grievances she had suffered because of these two words, and she was directly hit by her bruises! In this life, in order to get rid of the half-crippled in the woman's height attribute. She wakes up early every day to run and actively replenishes calcium. But I didn't see much effect, and the bones were almost fixed. It's hard to grow taller.
Zhong Ai leaned over his face and asked Nuan Nuan curiously: "When did you save the people, why don't I know the way?" You must know that even if she came out of Nuan Nuan's house, she still called Nuan Nuan every now and then, and she didn't hear Nuan Nuan mention of saving people.
Nuan Nuan opened her mouth, but before she could speak, the old man Chen spoke.
"Two girls, come and sit!"
Zhong Ai immediately turned upside down, and pulled Nuan Nuan over, and sat down on the side with fewer people, Nuan Nuan was pushed to the seat next to Mr. Ning by her, and she herself sat on the outermost, and asked curiously: "When did Nuan Nuan save people in our family, and how did you save them?" β
"You'll have to ask the person concerned about this." Old Man Chen replied.
Zhong Ai looked at Nuan Nuan and said in a coquettish tone: "Say it quickly, Nuan Nuan, what did you save, why didn't you tell me such a great thing!" β
Nuan Nuan, who was stared at by everyone, said that the pressure was great, and seeing that the gossip factor of her love was activated, the more she didn't explain her love, the more she wouldn't stop, so she had to lower her voice and said: "This was two months ago, this kind of thing is not easy to publicize, so I didn't tell you." β
"It's not good to publicize it, it's a very honorable thing to save people!" Love muttered.
Nuan Nuan smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
"Hehe, the girl's name is Nuan Nuan?" Old Man Chen looked at Nuan Nuan with a smile on his face and asked.
"Nuan Nuan is my nickname."
"Where's the Daimyo?" Old Man Chen got to the bottom of it.
Nuan Nuan was stunned for a moment, she turned her head and glanced at the man next to her, she didn't expect this old man Chen to attach so much importance to her saving the man, she said: "My name is Xia Peony." β
"That's a good name, where is the girl's hometown?" Old Man Chen didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and for the next ten minutes, he kept asking Nuan Nuan, first to find out Nuan Nuan's family situation, and then to ask about the specific situation of Nuan Nuan's rescue.
After more than ten minutes, the warm palms were sweating. This old man's curiosity is more terrifying than his beloved, she really can't bear it. Obviously, there is another party who is also there, but the old man Chen seems to know his quiet character, and only grabs Nuan Nuan to ask, and the curious baby loves to interject from time to time to ask her words, in just ten minutes, she seems to have experienced a torture.
Fortunately, at this time, the loud voice that Nuan Nuan had encountered two days ago came in and rescued her.
"The feast is about to begin. Grandpa, hurry up and get seated! β
"Xiaoxiao, you go get two more seats." Old Man Chen said to the handsome man who came in but had a loud voice.
"Poof!" Zhong Ai, who was drinking tea to moisten his lips, burst out with a smile. She smiled and said, "This name is really good, it is similar to Nuan Nuan's name, hahahaha......"
Nuan Nuan didn't need to look at it to imagine how rich the man's expression would be at the moment. She looked helplessly at the love that she had smoked again, this girl was really like Zhong Qian said, the bear made people grit their teeth.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Zhong Ai also realized that he was rude again under his impulse, and hurriedly said: "Please ignore me, ignore me!" β
"Alright, let's dine!" Old Man Chen waved his hand and stood up, even though he was already hundreds of years old. His body also looks very tough, and he walks with steady steps and a lot of momentum.
Before she took her seat, her favorite mobile phone rang, and she quickly answered the phone before the table started.
As soon as Zhong Ai opened his mouth, he said, "Brother, don't look for us, Nuan Nuan and I are accompanying other people's old birthday stars, and I don't have time to talk to you." I'll talk to you later, I'm going to have a banquet, don't talk anymore, bye~" Scratch and turn off the phone.
Nuan Nuan looked at her speechlessly. She felt that Zhong Qian on the other end of the phone would be more speechless than her, this tone of voice, rippling little gesture. She doesn't believe that there's no show-off here. The two of them, who were not related to Old Man Chen, not only entered the courtyard, but also sat down at the table. and sat next to the old birthday star, which is not expected to be believed by others.
However, this position is not so easy to sit in. First of all, you have to withstand the inquiring gaze of everyone.
"Girl, do you drink? This is an old wine that our Chen family has brewed for many years, do you want to try it? After the wine and food were served, Old Man Chen held the porcelain wine jug, shook it, looked at Nuan Nuan and asked.
"I ...... not drinking......
"Okay!" Nuan Nuan's words had just begun, and Zhong Ai took the words, and she eagerly handed over her cup and Nuan Nuan's cup.
The corners of Nuan Nuan's mouth twitched, and she began to have a headache when she remembered the last time she loved to get drunk.
Do you think a normal fifteen-year-old girl would be so fond of drinking?
Why did she meet some freaks!
"Come on, try it and see if it tastes." The wine glass was handed to Nuan Nuan.
Nuan Nuan took the wine glass, took a sip, and heard the old birthday star ask how it tasted, she quickly nodded and said yes.
"Drink more." Old Man Chen said with a smile.
Nuan Nuan smiled, but sighed in her heart, the elders of other families all persuaded the juniors not to drink, but this old man turned upside down. Her eyes secretly looked at the couple who looked very young diagonally opposite, and when she sat down, she realized that these two were Mr. Ning's parents, but the relationship between their parents and children didn't seem to be very close, and she felt ...... Mr. Ning is like picking it up. Well, he couldn't have said that......
"Old man, where did you kidnap the two little granddaughters?" Because Old Man Chen took special care of Nuan Nuan, someone said jokingly.
"I also want to kidnap two, but unfortunately my family doesn't have the life of a girl." Old Man Chen also replied with a smile, and after speaking, he beckoned everyone to drink and eat, his voice was hearty, more energetic than ordinary centenarians, not at all like a centenarian.
In the second half of the banquet, some people began to toast to Mr. Chen, but because the old man was old, he was afraid of drinking too much wine and having an accident, so the old man's great-grandson Chen Xiao was in the prime of life to drink for the old man.
The stamina of the old wine is enough, many people are more or less drunk, and the beloved children's shoes who drank very happily were drunk again, she held Nuan Nuan and laughed while burping, and the wine that spewed out all poured into Nuan Nuan's nose, and the already a little drunk Nuan Nuan began to faint.
Nuan Nuan originally wanted to go back with her love, but the characteristic of her drunkenness was that she liked to stay on it, and after that, Old Man Chen called his granddaughter-in-law and took them to the guest room to rest. (To be continued......)
PS: Well, black and white have been reversed recently, and it's been late again, and I'll try to return to normal from tomorrow (should, right?). οΌβ¦β¦
