Chapter 32: The Dinner Table
"The third floor is full of private rooms, and the people who come up are all distinguished guests, you kid or play elsewhere!"
"You're not a shopkeeper, I just want to go up and have a look, don't stop me!"
As soon as he heard Xia Yuanding's words, the person opposite frowned, clasped his hands on his chest, and stood there as a stone blocking the way, this person was burly, Xia Yuanding had no choice but to try to pass through from the side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Just when he thought he could succeed, a big hand suddenly lifted his collar, and then Xia Yuanding found that his whole body had been vacated, and he was picked up and dragged downstairs by the man.
"Let me down, adults are bullying children!"
With the shouting, gradually some people looked over, but they all laughed out loud, and no one came to the rescue. Looking at this scene, Xia Yuanding sighed that the world is declining, where have all the righteous and courageous people gone.
"Yuan Ding, how is it, Dad has been waiting for you here for a while, I've seen it, come with me!" Unexpectedly, Xia Yuanding, who was put down, was hit by his father again.
Looking back at the three gilded characters of 'Juxian Building', Xia Yuanding shook his head, thinking that a broken restaurant is not allowed to be accessed, this is your loss, I was going to write a poem at the top level, but this opportunity was not given, and you deserve to be famous.
Honestly accompany my father to the store, Xia Yuanding is not interested in what to buy, but when Xia Shouzhi bought a hairpin, Xia Yuanding took a few more looks, an ordinary wooden hairpin, my father secretly bought it, and it was to be given to my mother.
I thought that my father would only buy some necessities for life, but Xia Shouzhi always surprises people.
"Shopkeeper, get me a bamboo dragonfly!" Xia Shouzhi looked at the bamboo dragonflies on the shelves and said.
"Take it, the boy likes this thing the most!"
Xia Yuanding finally got a bamboo dragonfly, and after he got it, he planned to give it to his sister directly after returning home, this thing is too simple, and it is estimated that he will get tired of turning it a few times.
Looking at the place I haven't walked much, but when I return to the Baiyun Inn, it is already sunset, and there are gradually more customers in the store, and the main dishes here are some home-cooked food, which is naturally not as good as those high-end restaurants that have several floors at every turn.
"The two brothers are back, my father is talking with Uncle Xia in the study, I have asked people to prepare food, why don't we have a few drinks in the evening, what do you think?" Wang Jitang saw that the people of the Xia family were coming back, and said in a greeting.
"That's very good, Brother Wang!" Xia Shouzhi remembered the last time they drank together, and he was a little emotional.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Shouzhi is humble!" Wang Jitang waved his hand again and again.
Is it interesting to praise each other, Xia Yuanding looked at it boringly, so he had to find a vacant seat and sit down, looking at the bustling crowd, savoring the word 'secular'.
"What are you thinking?" At this time, Wang Jinxuan walked over and asked curiously.
Xia Yuanding was a little surprised, because at this time, the normal question should be what you are looking at, I don't know why Wang Jinxuan asked him what he was thinking, could it be that she can understand people's hearts at such a young age.
"Why do you ask?" Xia Yuanding said.
"Because sometimes I look at things like that!" Wang Jinxuan said.
Hearing this answer, Xia Yuanding felt funny, even if you are young, you will still think about things, but fortunately, he is not obvious.
After sorting out his thoughts, Xia Yuanding asked, "Then can you tell you what you were thinking at that time?" ”
Fortunately, Wang Jinxuan is not the kind of person who will tell others what she asks, she paused for a few seconds and then shook her head and refused to say it.
Don't think that Xia Yuanding is interested in everything, he also asked casually, in case someone can't think of anything, he can also explain it, if others want to keep their privacy from being known and refuse to say it, he won't force it, let alone a five-year-old girl who can't hide any secrets.
This is the end of the communication between the two people, Xia Yuanding thought that it was time to eat, so let's go together and hurry up to see if grandpa is finished talking with old friends, don't delay the meal.
Behind the Baiyun Inn is Wang Jitang's home, the spacious yard is planted with some flowers and ornamental tree species, but now there are only a few varieties of yellow flowers and red flowers, the south-facing row is the main house, the east and west sides are two rows of side rooms, and there are corridors to connect the various rooms together.
While looking at the situation in the courtyard, he found that Wang Jinxuan, who was wearing a pure white collared skirt with pink clothes, ran to the front of Xia Yuanding with her clothes in both hands, as if she was very happy!
At this time, the weather was already a little hot, at noon, Xia Yuanding was sweating hot, but in the evening, the sky was getting cooler, and when the evening breeze blew, he still felt cold.
"Yuan Ding, the meals are ready, you go and call grandpa to come over for dinner!"
Xia Shouzhi's sudden words made him stand up from the pillar leaning against the corridor, and now he can only get the job of running errands, without thinking about anything else, Xia Yuanding walked to the study in this courtyard, when the time comes, don't be adults to eat and children don't go to the table, this can't be like, what you want may come.
Ten steps away from the study, Xia Yuanding heard laughter from the study, one of them needless to say must be the grandfather Xia Jizu, and the other must be the grandfather of the little girl named Wang Jinxuan, as for the name, Xia Yuanding didn't know anything.
Xia Yuanding walked towards the study with steady steps, at this time Wang Jinxuan had been looking at him, that look was to persuade him to retreat, she didn't like people to run to her grandfather's study, there was a place where she could play, but Xia Yuanding consciously learned to pick up a few points of cultivation, no matter what others did to me, I just turned a blind eye to it.
Finally, in the battle of eyes, Xia Yuanding won completely, and the little girl was so frightened that she hurriedly ran into the study.
In fact, things that could have been solved in one voice, for the sake of etiquette and upbringing, Xia Yuanding had to go over in person, looking like he had been trained well, and then he could say that he invited his grandfather to dinner. Thinking about it like this, such a difficult task is really inappropriate to teach Yuan Chu and Yuan Jie.
In self-comfort, Xia Yuanding finally entered the door, and he saw Wang Jinxuan standing behind the old man.
"Brother Fengxian, which grandson of yours is this?" Wang Jinxuan's grandfather asked first when he saw a little boy coming in.
Xia Yuanding thought to himself, this Fengxian must be his grandfather's words, it seems that all readers have to have words, what kind of words will he take in the future!
"Mao Hong smiled, this is my fourth son Shouzhi's child." Xia Jizu then said to Xia Yuanding: "Yuanding, I haven't seen your grandfather Wang yet. ”
"Grandpa Wang's health, I wish you happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity than the old pine of Nanshan!" Grandpa spoke, and Xia Yuanding was not ambiguous, so he hurriedly slapped a sycophant.
Sure enough, when this Grandpa Wang heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he even praised Xia Yuanding for being sensible, which shows that these two sentences have a surprisingly good effect.
"Full of tricks and losses, Yuan Ding has just entered school, and there is still a long way to go!"
"Brother Fengxian's words are not right, you and I were studying together in private back then, ......what happened in the end?"
……
You talk about it, don't ignore us, Xia Yuanding found an opportunity and hurriedly finished speaking: "Grandpa, Dad asked me to inform you, saying that the food is ready, and it will be cold if it's late!" ”
As soon as Xia Yuanding said this, they reacted, it turned out that it was already time for dinner, although it was a bit unfinished, but they had to go to the dinner table to talk.
The four of them got up, and Xia Yuanding was the first to go out and leave first.
"Dad, grandpa will be here soon." Xia Yuanding reported when he went back.
"Well, alright, let's get ready to eat too!" Don't be sensitive to the aroma of wine, Xia Shouzhi is not sensitive, at this time, the wine worm in his stomach has long been unbearable, and he hasn't touched alcohol for many days, for him, the biggest pain is that he can't stick to his hobby.
Waiting until the moment he sat down at the table, Xia Yuanding's hanging heart was finally put down, looking at the table full of food, this was the richest meal he had ever seen in his life, this meal would cost a lot of money, but secretly looked at the grandfather and the third uncle, why did they have no worry or guilty expression on their faces, and they could have a clear conscience. In the future, Xia Yuanding will understand, but he is still young now, and he doesn't know anything.
The only dissatisfaction is that the food here is light, he is a person who likes spicy food, it is good to have chili peppers, he guesses that the chili peppers should not have passed at this time.
Looking at the people at the dinner table, several adults are mainly drinking and chatting, and the two cousins have been immersed in consuming food, but Jinxuan is unhurried, and he is much better than his cousin who can only eat.
Puzzled, even Wang Jinxuan was on the table, why her mother had never been found, Xia Yuanding was a little suspicious.
