Chapter 100: Family Gathering I
During the Spring Festival, every household and even the outside of each shop are plastered with brand-new Spring Festival couplets with red backgrounds or red letters, and this year's exclusive zodiac mascot, the dragon, can be seen everywhere.
In contrast, Yu Xian and Yu Jiajia, who are in a foreign country and have no families, look a little pitiful.
However, Yu Jiajia is used to it, after all, this is not the first year she has lived without her parents, and Yu Xian is somewhat unaccustomed to it.
No matter how lively the Chinese New Year is, time still passes at the same speed, and in a blink of an eye, it will be the fifth day of the new year.
"Click, click." Yu Xian stopped in front of a restaurant with the sign "He Shi Jun Mo Xiao", he raised his head slightly to confirm the correct location, and then checked and sorted out his clothes again, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's okay brother, this party is just a formality." Yu Jiajia, as Yu Xian's younger sister, naturally knows what Yu Xian thinks.
If it weren't for the phone call that Zhou Qianya had made when they arrived in the magic capital, Yu Xian really didn't want to have dinner with these two relatives.
"Yes, we're just going to have a meal. At most, talk to them a few more words, no matter how you say it, they are all relatives. Yu Xian chose to let go and resolutely stepped into He Junmoxiao Restaurant.
……
"Welcome, do you have a reservation?" As soon as I entered, the waiter standing at the door of the hotel greeted me warmly.
"Yes, which private room is Mr. Yu Le in?"
"Mr. Yu, please come with me in the [Drunken Sleep] private room."
Soon, under the guidance of the waiter, Yu Xian and Yu Jiajia came to the door of the [Drunken Sleeping] private room.
The waiter pushed the door open and stood aside, and Yu Xian and Yu Jiajia entered in turn.
"Huh! Xiaoxian and Jiajia are here, how are they doing? Is it hard to study? As soon as he entered the door, Yu Le, that is, Yu Xian's third uncle, hurriedly greeted him, patted Yu Xian's shoulder, and came to greet him.
"Everything's fine, everything is fine, thank you Third Uncle for your concern." Out of politeness, Yu Xian responded with a smile on his head.
"Now, Happy New Year." Yu Le took out two red envelopes from the inner pocket of his clothes and handed them to Yu Xian and Yu Jiajia respectively.
"Thank you, Third Uncle. That one...... I'm already an adult, so I don't have to, right? Yu Xian hesitated and did not immediately accept the red envelope.
"What adulthood is not adulthood? You didn't get out of school, you were still a kid, holding it. ”
"Okay, thanks." Yu Xian couldn't say anything more, so he could only accept the red envelope.
Seeing this, Yu Le smiled with satisfaction, and then pushed back to his seat and continued to chat.
After Yu Le left, Yu Xian's fourth aunt, Yu Yuanling, hooked her newlywed husband and stepped forward, first briefly introducing her husband Wang Lin, and then a short routine greeting.
After a brief conversation, the people in the [Drunken Sleeping] private room each chose their seats and sat down.
Yu Le's family is husband and wife plus daughter, in addition to Yu Yuanling and Wang Lin, as well as Yu Xian and Yu Jiajia.
Although Yu Xian and Yu Jiajia's father Yu De is the second oldest in the family, he is higher in the ranking than Yu Le and Yu Yuanling, but now Yu De is not present, and Yu Xian and Yu Jiajia are juniors, so according to their seniority, they can only sit on the side of the door.
The seating seems to be no big deal, but in fact, it will secretly highlight the guest of honor, the noble and the low.
The food at He Jun Mo Xiao Restaurant was very fast, and the table was filled with food in a short time.
Before leaving, the waitress who served the food picked up the remote control of the TV on the counter at the door, and asked softly with a business-like smile, "Do you need to turn on the TV?" ”
"Let's go." Yu Le replied.
"Okay." After the waitress turned on the TV, she put the remote control back in its original position, paced and exited the door with a slight bow, "I wish you a pleasant meal!" ”
After the door of the private room was closed by the waitress, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly changed.
"Jiajia, come, eat first." Yu Yuanling turned the most expensive dish on the table in front of Yu Jiajia and smiled slightly, "There is less than half a year left to take the college entrance examination, and there is a lot of pressure to study recently, right?" ”
"Thank you, Fourth Aunt." Yu Jiajia lifted the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of food and put it in her bowl, "It's a little stressful, but it's no problem." ”
"Jiajia must be fine, she is studying in Pengcheng Experimental Middle School now." Yu Le's wife Zhu Chunhua rushed to help Yu Jiajia answer.
"Yo, that's the best high school in Pengcheng."
"It's not, as long as it's not at the bottom, it's basically a random pick to read 211,985 or something!" Zhu Chunhua looks proud, if she is an outsider, she still thinks that Yu Jiajia is her daughter.
"Jiajia, what major do you want to study? Do you want your aunt to help you choose the choice? Yu Yuanling turned the turntable again, turning another delicate and expensive dish in front of Yu Jiajia.
"Huh." When Yu Xian saw this scene, he sneered to himself.
Two years ago, that is, when Yu Xian was in his third year of high school. It was also a family gathering of these three families, and it was also Zhu Chunhua and Yu Yuanling who were diligently asking about him preparing for the college entrance examination, and it was the same posture now.
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it when I fill in the volunteer after the college entrance examination." Yu Jiajia subconsciously turned her head to look at Yu Xian, what she said was exactly what Yu Xian said on this occasion two years ago.
History is always strikingly similar?
No, to be precise, the country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to change.
"How can you not think about it? This is your future, you must be cautious! Yu Yuanling sighed, and then said, "My cousin is now engaged in import and export trade, and the profits are very fat!" You can study those customs jobs, and in this way, our family will come out. ”
"Tsk, what do girls do at customs?" Zhu Chunhua asked casually.
"What's wrong with customs? There are a lot of people who do that business. The older generation all said: 'It's better to marry well than to do well in the exam'. This person comes and goes, maybe one day he will be able to put on a good uncle! ”
"Well, you're a bit too much. Jiajia, listen to your sister-in-law, be an accountant, the accountant in our textile factory earns a lot of money, just like half a boss. Zhu Chunhua did not show weakness and began to sell out his own factory.
"Third sister-in-law, don't say I'm a layman who doesn't understand, we all know that accounting is not easy to earn. Jiajia, if you think that customs is not easy to do, or you don't want to do it, you can learn the profession of publishing. Yu Yuanling stretched out her hand and pointed to her newlywed husband Wang Lin, "My husband is in the publishing industry, husband, you tell Jiajia." ”
Wang Lin paused, cleared his throat, and said with a pleasant face: "Jiajia, I ......"
"Suddenly, I found out that your existence ......" suddenly, a shock the mobile phone ringed.
