Chapter 106: Birthday

In a blink of an eye, the next month, Xiaomei's eighteenth birthday.

On this day in previous years, Cheng and Banniang prepared a table of good dishes, and the whole family closed the door to celebrate the birthday of the little sister. At the banquet, the brothers and sisters must fight poems and make fun of each other, and their family happiness is also harmonious.

But this time, it was not at home, but in the largest restaurant in Meishan...... This was the idea of Zhizhou Lei Jianfu, who chartered a whole three-story restaurant to make a birthday for his 'virtuous niece.

Su Xun knew that this old fox was actually taking up his own army..."Lei Fang has been infatuated with his little sister for more than two years, and Lei Jianfu has also mentioned his marriage early on. At first, Su Xun kept shirking on the grounds that his daughter was still young, but seeing her grow into a sixteen or seventeen girl, Lei Jianfu was a fool again.

Su Xun had no choice but to tell the truth, he actually had a verbal marriage contract with the Chen family, and he just waited for him to come over there to propose. When Lei Jianfu heard this, he said: "I'm afraid that I will never be able to wait." ”

Sue asks why? Lei Jianfu sneered: "I remember that my colleague in Beijing mentioned in the letter, saying that Chen Xiliang has become a favorite minister of the official family, and his future is greatly promising, and there are also wealthy families in Beijing who have married children and ...... his family."

Su Xun was dumbfounded at the time, and wrote a letter to question Chen Xiliang, which confirmed Lei Jianfu's words, although Chen Xiliang explained in every possible way in the letter, saying that he would definitely make a profit, but it had deeply hurt Su Laoquan's self-esteem.

So there was a little sister who passed the age of eighteen and married no one to marry the poisonous oath surnamed Chen.

That poisonous oath is known only to a few people close to you. But the Lei family's request for the little sister has been spread all over the city, Lei Jianfu must marry this daughter-in-law, otherwise what face is there to speak of?

Therefore, without the consent of the Su family, this old man spread invitations in his own name and invited more than 100 gentry and businessmen in Meishan City. After the banquet was set, I told him about it.

In fact, it has long been rumored on the street, and there is no need for Lei Zhizhou to inform it, Su Xun already knows.

Su Laoquan blamed him for the overlord on the bow, and on the other hand, he also felt relieved, ...... your Chen family doesn't take my daughter seriously, and others take it as a treasure!"

Besides, my little sister will be eighteen years old today, and it is the day to say goodbye to the past and get back on the road. So he categorically decided not to eat at home today, and the whole family went to the banquet!

It's just that this decision didn't get a unanimous response: first of all, Xiaomei locked herself in the house and resolutely didn't go out. Cheng has been sick and has not been out for several years; As for Banniang and her two daughters-in-law, they are even more unsuitable to attend this kind of occasion.

After intimidating the little sister to no avail, Chen Xiliang had no choice but to take his two sons to attend the "... In fact, Su Shi and Su Zhe didn't want to go, but Lei Zhizhou has taken good care of the Su family for many years, and their father and son can be well-known in Shuzhong, thanks to Lei Zhizhou's push, they always have to save some face for him.

When he arrived at the Tao Ran Restaurant, Lei Fang had been looking forward to it at the door, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that there was only a father and son of the Su family and no little sister coming.

"What, you still want my sister to show up?" Su Shi felt very unhappy that the Lei family was so strong.

"That's not what it means", Lei Fang hurriedly explained: "After all, this is a birthday party for my little sister......"

"Don't worry", Su Xun said with a cold face: "I have the final say on everything, and I don't need her to attend." ”

"Thank you, Lord Yue, for your success" Lei Fang was suddenly overjoyed and sang a fat song.

"Got it early, didn't you?" Su Xun felt very harsh, in fact, he preferred to hear it, and the other person called himself like this.

"Not early, not early", Lei Fang smiled and said: "Calling early shows that I am sincere......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Su Fuzhong, Banniang said that it took a lot of effort to open the door of the little sister, and I saw that she had packed up all the burdens.

"Where are you going?" Banniang's words of persuasion turned into a question.

"The Lei family is like this, in order not to make it difficult for my father", the little sister said lightly: "I only have to leave for a while first." ”

"You little girl", Banniang cried and laughed: "But where can you go?" ”

"I've got my own plans." The calmness on the little sister's face was not pretended at all: "Actually, I wanted to leave for a long time, but the third brother said that he would let me have an unforgettable eighteenth birthday, so I waited." ”

"When did you say that?" Banniang said strangely.

"Four years ago ......",

"He probably just said it casually, he should have forgotten about it a long time ago." Banniang sighed and said in her heart, my silly sister......

"He can say it casually, but I can't take it lightly." Xiaomei said lightly: "Even if everyone doesn't believe him, I believe it!" ”

The two sisters were talking when they heard a knock on the door in the front yard, and the little sister's heart skipped a beat.

"Could it be that he's really here?" Banniang left her little sister and said, "I'll take a look." ”

The little sister wanted to follow, but was stopped by Banniang and said, "Girl, always be reserved." ”

I had to let Banniang go to see it by herself, and the little sister was restless in the house, so she had to walk to the door of the house and look at the Yuemen Cave. I just hope that the big man with a wicked smile can flash there.

The noisy footsteps sounded, and the little sister felt that her heart was about to jump to her throat, and she saw her second sister-in-law and a few men carrying burdens.

"That's my sister's house." Shi Shi pointed to the little sister's room and said, "There is no labor at home, so I bother a few big brothers to carry it in." ”

"Of course." A few porters waited to go into the little sister's room. The little sister stopped and said, "Second sister-in-law, what is this?" ”

"The money clerk who provides charcoal for our family all the year round came and said that he was here to congratulate you on your birthday." Shi Shi also looked puzzled and said: "Mother and sister-in-law are entertaining guests in front, do you want to go out and meet them too?" ”

"No," the little sister shook her head, but she dodged away and let the porters carry the gifts in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After sending off the Qian staff, Mrs. Cheng, with the support of Banniang and Wang Fu, came to the little sister's room, and saw her daughter and Shi Shi in a daze at a gift list.

Hearing them come in, Shi Shi turned around and said in surprise: "Mother, come and see, what's going on." So from the little sister's hand, he handed the gift list to Mrs. Cheng. When Mrs. Chen looked at it, she saw that it was listed:

'A pair of sheep fat jade bracelets,

A pair of white brocade sachets,

A pair of gold-inlaid jeweled dragonfly hairpins,

Bianjing Baorui Zhai head face,

One horse of each of the five colors of the finest sunset cloth,

Laokeng Duanzhou purple stone inkstone two sides,

Dongzhu a pot of ......"

This is only the first page, and there are eight more pages to follow, with a total of more than 40 kinds of gift ......, all of which are valuable.

Mrs. Cheng is from everyone, and she is the most knowledgeable, although there are no priceless treasures in these things, but everything is very valuable, and there are many expensive things, adding up, I am afraid it is worth thousands of yuan.

"What is this for?" Mrs. Cheng was also surprised, and hurriedly instructed her daughter-in-law: "Quickly chase the family back." She originally thought that the other party just meant it, but how could she have thought that it would be a congratulatory gift of this level?

Wang Fu hurried to the front yard, but as soon as the door opened, there were guests and a team of porters came.

"Who are you looking for?" Wang Fu's face tightened.

"Disdainful surname Tu", the other party was holding a bird cage in his hand, and there was a colorful parrot in it, and answered: "Su family is small, sister, Shoubi Nanshan ......",

"This is for the little sister of the Su family"..."The other party was a little embarrassed, and smiled at Wang Fu: "We are her old friends in Qingshen County, and today is my little sister's birthday, so I specially prepared some small gifts... T said to the porters, "Hurry in." ”

"This...", Wang Fu didn't stop him, and he didn't stop him, so he had to ask him to sit in the front hall and go back to tell his mother-in-law.

Mrs. Cheng went out, and when she saw this surnamed Tu, she also knew that she made a fortune by selling soy sauce, and now she has a family property and has become a wealthy gentleman.

"What does that mean?" Although it is difficult to open the gift list in person, Mrs. Cheng knows that his gift will not be light. Naturally, you have to ask clearly: "Otherwise, you can't accept this gift." ”

"My little sister is eighteen years old, and I am an uncle, so I naturally want to express it." Tu Guanren laughed and said: "I met the old money on the road, and he can accept it, and the lady can get a bowl of water." ”

"Then you don't need such a gift, huh? will kill the little girl. "Mrs. Cheng said in her heart, are we very familiar?

"Hey, what's the ma'am?" Tu Guanren said: "My niece is not young, and she always has to prepare some makeup." Our customs in Meishan are like this, don't shirk it. ”

As he spoke, someone called the door again.

Mrs. Cheng said in her heart, one toad is also caught, and two toads are also caught, so please come in.

It turned out to be Cai Chuanfu......

"Isn't Master Cai in Chengdu?" After the salute, Tu Guanren asked with a smile.

"Oh, my aunt's eighteenth birthday", Cai Chuanfu grew a beard and became fatter, but compared with that year, his aura was a hundred times stronger. He smiled: "Don't say it's just in Chengdu, even outside Sichuan, I have to fly back......"

In this way, throughout the morning and afternoon, there was a constant stream of gift-givers, so that all the rooms could not be rested, and even some had to be placed in the courtyard.

Looking at the beautifully packaged gift boxes full of houses and courtyards, Mrs. Cheng only remembered that when her father celebrated his 80th birthday, she had seen such a formation. But now, this is in the Su family, and it is an eighteen-year-old girl celebrating her birthday!

Xiaomei's two sisters-in-law, although they are not laymen, are also completely suppressed. Obediently and rumbling in the hole, this sister-in-law's face is almost as big as the sky.......

The neighbors naturally noticed the vision of the Su family early, and gathered around the gate of his house, watching the people who gave gifts come in and out, and they were all talking about it...... Although I really don't know what I want, everyone knows that there must be a good show to watch!

Sure enough, in the afternoon, a bigger pomp came.
