Dinner
Liang Yan got up early in the morning and began to prepare things for the family banquet, and she was in a hurry, but she was also a person who had managed two companies, and this thing was really difficult for her.
Xu Liyuan has been staying in the room, thinking that she will put up a shelf and go out when Liang Yan can't handle it, but the more she sits, the more panicked she becomes, and she doesn't see Liang Yan come in for help for a long time, and finally, when it was almost twelve o'clock at noon, Xu Liyuan heard a knock on the door as she wished.
"Come in."
Xu Liyuan thought that it was Liang Yan, smiled contemptuously, and turned her back to Liang Yan who was reading the latest fashion magazine, "Say, if there is anything you don't understand, it's not impossible for me to guide you." ”
The air condensed for a few seconds, Xu Liyuan didn't hear a response, and turned her head suspiciously, only to see Lao Qin with an expression of "what the hell are you meowing" on his face. The two were really embarrassed, and Lao Qin bowed his head respectfully, "Young lady, please go to lunch." ”
"Do you want to use lunch time to ask for help from me? This girl is clever. Xu Liyuan had an expression of "I understand", Lao Qin really couldn't stand her smug and arrogant look,
"The young lady is all ready," Xu Liyuan's face was a little ugly, "she really just wants me to invite you over for lunch." ”
Xu Liyuan gritted her teeth, and it took a long time to say one word, "Get out." ”
Gu Jingmei is now living in the United States with her husband, it took a lot of time on the way back, and she can't come back until the evening, and the men are busy with the company's affairs, Gu Guosong is naturally too lazy to listen to these parents, so only Liang Yan and Xu Liyuan eat lunch at home.
When Xu Liyuan arrived, Liang Yan was already moving her chopsticks. Xu Liyuan couldn't find an outlet for a long time, and finally found Liang Yan's "little braid" at this time. "I'm an elder, don't you know that you have to wait for someone to come before you can move your chopsticks?"
Liang Yan didn't even move her eyelids, "Oh, I thought my aunt didn't want to eat with me, so I started by myself first, after all, the dishes were almost cold." Openly and secretly accused Xu Liyuan of being late. The anger in Xu Liyuan's heart was about to burn out her reason, but she knew that she was an elder, and with this, she had an advantage over Liang Yan in the Gu family.
She sat on the main seat, the maid put the dishes and chopsticks in time, she ate a bite of food without hurrying, and said to Liang Yan, who was gobbling up, "Niece and daughter-in-law, tomorrow is the day when my mother's Xu family and sister-in-law's family come, and you will make our Gu family embarrassed." ”
Liang Yan got up early in the morning to prepare all the things, and was so hungry that her chest was close to her back, where could she care like Xu Liyuan, facing a large table of dishes, and only eating a green vegetable for half a day? She knew in her heart that Xu Liyuan was just laughing at her for being from a poor background and not being a real nobleman!
"Anyway, when the family banquet is prepared by me, those who are interested will naturally understand that they are all their own family, what is there to be ashamed of?"
Xu Liyuan was stunned, and these words poked into her heart. Who's to say it isn't? Everyone will only know that it is Liang Yan who hosts the family banquet, and the rest, what else is there to say?
Xu Liyuan, who suffered from Liang Yan, learned to be obedient, stopped talking, and the two had lunch peacefully. Xu Shengyin called Xu Liyuan in the afternoon, and first poured all the things that failed to frame Gu Yuan on Xu Liyuan's head, blaming her for not doing things well and letting Liang Yan take advantage of the loophole, this is really out of nowhere, Xu Liyuan is not even redundant to refute. Anyway, Xu Shengyin is the only son of the Xu family, and whatever he says is what he is.
The two talked about it, and Xu Shengyin knew that Xu Liyuan had no chance to prepare a family banquet, and he was furious. "The Gu family is simply too deceitful! Sister, don't worry, my brother will definitely help you out tomorrow. ”
On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Shengyin took his wife and Xu Yuan to Gu's house. It wasn't like the first time they met, after Xu Yuan saw Liang Yan, he greeted him politely. In Xu Yuan's heart, she was still very grateful to Liang Yan, after all, she didn't let her father's plan succeed, which made her heart feel a lot more comforted.
Gu Guosong and Xu Shengyin chatted for a long time in the living room, Gu Zexu took the time to take a look, and was about to go to see Liang Yan, but he saw Xu Yuan and Gu Ying talking in the garden.
Xu Yuan lost a lot of weight and had a serious illness, as if even her previous arrogance and edges had been taken away. Gu Ying was expressionless and looked at Xu Yuan, as if waiting for her to explain.
Xu Yuan reluctantly pulled out a smile, "You...... It's with that woman now, isn't it? ”
Gu Ying was very uncomfortable with the title of "that woman", and her face became more and more ugly. "Does it have anything to do with you?" Xu Yuan shuddered all over, "Gu Ying, didn't you promise me that we would be best friends?" ”
Speaking of this, Gu Ying couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, "Did you already know that something like this would happen, so you lied to me to make such a promise?" ”
Xu Yuan suddenly raised his head to look at him, and the sorry sentence in his heart was on his lips, but he just couldn't say it, suddenly, she saw Gu Zexu on the bench by the flowers, he was tall, and even the roses couldn't stop him, so Xu Yuan subconsciously became vigilant, "What are you doing there!" ”
Gu Zexu put down the mobile phone he was playing with and told her without panic, "This is my home, can't I play with my mobile phone here?" ”
"You!" Xu Yuan was about to argue with him, but Gu Ying interjected, "Enough, big brother, let's go." So Gu Ying didn't look at Xu Yuan anymore and left from her.
Gu Zexu glanced at Xu Yuan thoughtfully before leaving, but Xu Yuan stared at Gu Ying's back, motionless, as if he was not even angry.
Gu Jingmei asked Ji Rui to take the little star to play. I went to the kitchen to cook with Liang Yan. The Gu family has always been a rule, this kind of family banquet is to be made by the hostesses of the family. Liang Yan couldn't hold a heavy object in her right hand, and Wu Qin handled the ingredients cleanly while handling the knife while counting her. "What do you think you can do without me here?"
What else can I do, I can only ask the servants to help, the rules are dead, people are alive, Liang Yan slandered in her heart. Fortunately, Gu Jingmei came, Liang Yan breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been amnestied, and Gu Jingmei also understood Liang Yan and asked her to go to the side to break garlic.
Xu Liyuan couldn't interject, and when she saw Gu Jingmei coming, she hurriedly complained to Liang Yan, "I thought it would be easier this year, but I didn't expect it to be no different from previous years." ”
Liang Yan didn't speak, there are so many people today, and I can't get any benefit from arguing with her. And although Gu Jingmei intended to help Liang Yan, she was married after all, so she diverted the topic lightly. "Isn't it, isn't it the New Year at this time of year?" Shengsheng talked about the topic to death.
After a busy day, I finally started to eat dinner. Ji Rui and Xiaoxing, the two children, made Gu Guosong very happy, separated left and right, and sat down on both sides of Gu Guosong, Gu Jingmei quipped: "Isn't this the golden boy on both sides of the birthday star?" Gu Guosong smiled and hugged the two little heads in his arms, "Yes, yes, these two babies are the meat of my heart!" A table of people laughed.
Xu Shengyin's face was gloomy, and when everyone stopped laughing, he turned his head and asked Liang Yan, "I heard that Gu Xi is not your own child, right?" How did you come up with the idea of adopting one? Is it because you can't give birth? "I look curious, as if I really don't know anything.
The atmosphere was instantly embarrassing, and Gu Guosong quietly let go of the hand holding Xiaoxing. Xu Liyuan and Gu Yuan looked at Liang Yan with playful expressions. This is the knot in Gu Guosong's heart, he refused to admit Liang Yan into the Gu family at the beginning, isn't that the reason?
Liang Yan was the first to react, and gently beckoned to the little star, who had tears in her eyes, and anyone who saw it was very pityful. "Come to Mom, Mom will eat with you." Liang Yan seemed to be fine, and put vegetables in the bowl of Xiaoxing. Gu Zexu said to Xu Shengyin with a cold face, "Does this have anything to do with you?" We already treat Gu Xi as our own son. ”
Gu Ying also said unhappily, "Yes, Xiaoxing is such a cute and sensible child, but only our Gu family is the only one." ”
After speaking, Xu Liyuan stepped on him. Xu Shengyin's face was not much better. Gu Guosong coughed, "Hurry up and eat, what are you doing in a daze, the dishes are almost cold." ”
The people at the dinner table had different thoughts, Gu Jingmei wanted to ease the atmosphere, chatted vigorously with Gu Guosong to divert attention, Liang Yan quietly finished eating the rice in her bowl, and fed the little star again, at this time the people at the table were almost finished. It's time to arrange accommodation. Tomorrow, we will go to the temple to worship together, so we have to arrange accommodation for Gu Jingmei's family and the Xu family.
Coincidentally, when the Gu family used to be Xu Liyuan's housekeeper, Gu Zexu and his wife were not there, and these two families happened to be full of the Gu family, but this year is different, and one of them must live in another courtyard outside the courtyard.
Although the other courtyard is also a Gu family, in the eyes of outsiders, living in the other courtyard is always not in a good mood. When Xu Liyuan was about to ask the maid to move Xu Shengyin's things to the guest room, Liang Yan had just finished feeding Xiaoxing the last bite of food, so she methodically put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue. "Wait," she said, "I arranged for my aunt to stay in that room." ”
Xu Shengyin's dissatisfaction knocked down reason, he stood up and pointed at Gu Jingmei, "She is a married daughter, why does she still live in her own family?" ”
Gu Jingmei knew that Liang Yan had given herself enough face, what happened to her daughter who got married? Not to be outdone, she looked at Xu Shengyin, "Why? Just rely on my surname Gu, your surname is Xu! ”
"You!"
Xu Liyuan hurriedly pulled down her eldest brother and said to Liang Yan in a good voice, "That's the case, nephew-in-law, my eldest brother has arranged to live in that guest room in previous years, and he is used to living in it......"
"Got used to it?" Liang Yan laughed out loud, "I can't take care of this, can't we let our Gu family live in another hospital, right?" Grandpa, what do you say? With that, Xu Liyuan was included in the Gu family.
Gu Guosong was holding Ji Rui on his thigh, and when he heard this, he ignored Xu Liyuan's eyes for help, and didn't think twice, "Of course, in-laws, it's better to live in a different position." ”
