After the three of them talked and joked for more than ten minutes, a young man who looked no different from Meng Chengkun at all, only the glasses on the bridge of his nose were silver-edged, walked into the hut where they were with a warm smile.

"Happy New Year, big cousin!" Liu Lu took the lead in a polite greeting.

"It's been a long time since I saw Xiao Lu, and you have a good New Year!" This is Meng Chengqian, he responded like this first, then sat down next to Liu Lu, and after chatting for a while, he asked, "...... I heard my dad know from my cousin that you and Sister Liu Fu are still doing a game now? ”

"Well, for the time being, I don't plan to join any specific guild, and now the time is a little early, and when a gold-level warrior will appear and establish a formal guild, I'm afraid it will take about a year, and it's not too late to observe and observe." Liu Lu replied very naturally softly.

"Time waits for no one, so it's better to plan early. Only after the relationship is established in the early stage, and after the establishment of the guild, it is possible to join in as soon as possible, and it is more likely to be a 'veteran' and find a suitable position. Meng Chengqian kindly reminded.

"Xiao Lu, or you and Sister Liu Xu, go straight to ......" Meng Chengkun, who was fiddling with the playing cards in his hand, suddenly raised his head and suggested.

However, as soon as he began to speak, he was immediately interrupted by the twins' brother Meng Chengqian, and only heard the other party say: "Hey! Xiao Kun, what do you suggest? Play your cards well. ”

"How do you call it blind advice? Stop, don't interrupt me, you, come again, I'm in a hurry with you, do you believe it? I think what you understand quickly, but whether he wants to or not, you have to let me finish speaking, right? Otherwise, not only will I be uncomfortable, but he will also be depressed! Meng Chengkun flipped the cards and replied with a depressed face.

Meng Chengqian looked at Liu Lu and Meng Wenwen, who looked puzzled, and said with a helpless smile: "Okay, you continue to say, anyway, it's in vain." ”

"Even if I say it in vain, I'll have to finish it!" Meng Chengkun muttered, and then continued to say to Liu Lu: "Xiao Lu, what I wanted to say just now is that if you and Sister Liu Fu come to our guild together." Although, now our guild is just a little-known little shrimp, but the victory is that the atmosphere is good and the human touch is enough! ”

"Our president is one of my seniors, he is very heroic and righteous, brothers in the club, if anyone occasionally has a tight hand and borrows ten or eight life gold, it will never be a big deal, and he will not be reminded of you for ten days and a half months, is it enough?"

"It sounds like a good partner, but working together and struggling, I'm afraid that such a character is not too good, so forget it." Liu Lu refused very directly.

"Hehe, it's okay, everyone has their own ambitions!" Meng Chengqian waved his hand at his younger brother to stop him from continuing the topic with a chuckle.

Meng Chengkun pursed the corners of his mouth, listened to the persuasion and didn't say anything more, and continued to play cards.

……

"Wenwen, Da Qian, Xiao Kun, Xiao Lu, stop playing, wash your hands, and get ready to eat." Playing and stopping, and then changing tricks, the time soon came to the evening, and Liu Lu's aunt Wang Ling came over to call them with a smile.

Soon, a large table was filled.

Sitting at the top is the mother-in-law of Meng Chongxue, who is now 126 years old and Uncle Liu's uncle, who is said to be surnamed Tan, but the specific name is not clear.

On the right hand side of the old lady, there is his daughter Li Xiangwei, son-in-law Meng Chongxue, and then to Liu Lu's grandmother Meng Zhiyun, and below is Liu Lu's eldest cousin Meng Qi, eldest aunt Wang Ling, and parents Liu Qingyun and Song Yiyi.

On the left hand side, several elders were left to Menglin and Zhao Jing, the husband and wife, and then Meng Wenwen, Meng Chengshuang, Liu Wu, Liu Lu, Meng Chengqian, Meng Chengkun, these juniors.

It's just that at this time, the only thing missing on the table is the arrival of Zhao Jing, the hostess.

"Xiaoshuang, go, call your mother again, why is it so slow?" Beckoning everyone to sit down, Meng Linnunu said to his son Meng Chengshuang.

"Don't go, I'll be here in a while!" was playing the game at a critical time, but Meng Chengshuang, who was forcibly pulled over by her sister Meng Wenwen, replied with an unhappy face.

Meng Wenwen glared at her younger brother and hurriedly said, "I'll go!" I just saw my mom on the phone, and I don't know what the urgency is, and it's not over yet. ”

After more than a minute, Zhao Jing walked over unhurriedly, and sat down with an expression without smiling, without any intention of explaining the first half of the sentence.

"How did you come? It's all waiting for you. Meng Lin smiled at everyone with a little embarrassment, and asked in a low voice.

"These customers, if I don't keep licking my face like this, will you still do business in the future? You think I want to! It's a smile again, and it's a treat and a gift, if it's slow or a little late, people will throw us faces, and we have to bear it. I'm just saying nice things about people. You think I'm easy, don't you? ”

"Since my dad and he retired, the past favor has become weaker and weaker, some time ago, if I hadn't been cheeky, soft grinding hard bubbles to grind my mother and her half a month, this is how her old man almost half forced my dad, for our family's business activities many old relationships before, but I don't know how many favors go out, which made our family's situation slightly better."

"Otherwise, just counting on you, who can't borrow any connections except for stuffy work, and don't have the slightest concept of financial management, our family will not have to drink the northwest wind?" Zhao Jing was the only smile that disappeared in an instant, and then said in a voice that was not loud, but it was enough to make everyone in the audience quiet down.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay? Let's not talk about it, eat and eat, this is the New Year, be happy. Meng Lin, who wanted to open his mouth several times, but glared back at his wife Zhao Jing, finally smiled and comforted him.

Zhao Jing frowned, and she was about to open her mouth again, but when she saw her husband Meng Lin opposite, her almost pleading gaze was finally suppressed with a light snort.

After that, a large table of people finally started.

Just after two bites, Liu Fu looked at the other people around who were also embarrassed and awkward, shrank his depressed chopsticks, and muttered to his younger brother Liu Lu next to him in a very low voice: "Hey, what's the matter!" It's better not to come, and I'm not in the mood to eat. ”

"Talk less!" Liu Lu picked it up very naturally, and her sister gave her the chicken wings she liked very much, and replied like a mosquito.

However, as soon as he spoke, he himself touched the mobile phone in his pocket as if unexpectedly, and then raised his voice with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone." ”

"Xiao Lu is sensible, he knows that the mobile phone has to be set to vibrate when eating, my second child, no matter when, he will not think of paying attention to this. Over the years, I don't know how many times I've been frightened by his piercing broken phone ring, and I hope it won't alarm everyone for a while. "Always has the best temper, Liu Lu's eldest cousin Wang Ling, tried to adjust the atmosphere and added.

Liu Lu went, but the time was a little longer, I was afraid that it would not be five or six minutes, and then he returned to his seat.

But at this time, it was with everyone's efforts to resolve the embarrassment, and the atmosphere finally became more natural. Although it is not very lively, it is far from the awkward silence before.

……

"Ding Dong!" "Ding Dong! ”

More than half an hour later, when the dinner was about to end, Zhao Jing's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Zhao Jing picked it up and looked at it, her face changed obviously, and she didn't even have time to say a polite word, she was already busy smiling and getting up to greet her.

"Meng Lin, your cousin may be a little upset, and when it's over, we'll go back!" It's inconvenient here, sorry. Song Yiyi lowered her voice at the right time to greet Meng Lindao.

"Cousin, you haven't drunk much, have you?" Menglin subconsciously asked suspiciously, but immediately added with a flash of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, cousin-in-law!" Zhao Jing may have been a little too busy recently, so this speech is a little inappropriate. You and my cousin, don't be surprised. Thousands of mistakes, it's all my fault as a younger brother, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! ”

"Meng Lin, what are you talking about! We are such close relatives, not to mention Zhao Jing, she didn't say anything at all, even if there were, we would never think about it, don't worry. Your cousin has had a recurrent rheumatism headache recently, and he drank some wine today, so I'm afraid I'm going to hook it up again. I'm sorry, I originally said that everyone would celebrate the New Year together this year, but this ...... Seriously, we hope you don't get too embarrassed. Song Yiyi replied politely.

“…… Alas! Okay, let's get back in the year. Meng Lin pondered for a while, then sighed deeply and said with a forced smile.

And just as Song Yiyi finished speaking for a while, Meng Lin's eldest brother Meng Qi obviously ignored his wife Wang Ling's dissuasion and followed: "Erlin, eldest brother, I also suddenly thought of something, I need to go home quickly to deal with it, and I will go back with my cousin and them in a while, and I will inform you in advance." ”

"Well, well!" Meng Lin responded even more sullenly, and after speaking, he smothered nearly half a glass of liquor into his stomach in one sip.

"Meng Lin, why are you in such a hurry? Accompany Cousin Liu, as well as our eldest brother! It's really you. At this time, Zhao Jing, who had finished the call, walked back.

"Cousin, big brother, eat slowly, let's not be in a hurry! I blame my younger brothers and sisters for being busy these days, the ingredients for this Chinese New Year's Eve meal, the preparation is really vegetarian, and I have troubled several brothers and sisters-in-law to help cook it out before, blame me, blame me, I'm really sorry. After Zhao Jing finished speaking, regardless of her husband's puzzled gaze at her, followed by a series of words, everyone couldn't react at all, and it was definitely a warm and kind speech.

followed more, and gave himself the original sipping wine glass, completely filled it, and drank it in one gulp like an apology: "This glass of wine is my brother's and sister's atonement for my previous rudeness, brother and sister-in-law, if you are not satisfied, I should have two more glasses." ”

After saying that, Zhao Jing really continued to refill the cup for herself.

"Zhao Jing, what are you doing! Sister-in-law and your eldest brother, how could they pick your gifts? With such a large table of dishes, if you weren't afraid that you would say that we would see each other, it would be too late to thank you! Meng Qi, do you say yes? Although everyone couldn't react to Zhao Jing's play, Wang Ling, who was kind-hearted, still didn't care about the other first polite reply.

"It's not, Zhao Jing, you're going to see you outside, come, put down the wine, what's the matter, relatives like ours, just open it up! You came up with such a big glass and made us all dizzy. Song Yiyi hurriedly followed and held Zhao Jing's hand holding the wine bottle.

"Hehe, it's good that my brother and sister-in-law didn't see it, and it's good that I didn't see it. Come, all sit, all sit! Let's talk while eating. I just ordered a few good dishes outside, and I should be able to deliver them in a while, let's talk while eating, and talk while eating. Zhao Jing put down the wine bottle immediately, and said with a smile on her face that was not embarrassed at all.

"Zhao Jing, have you drunk too much?" Meng Lin's face turned red and he pulled his wife.

"No! Thinking too much about you. Today, my brother and sister-in-law, as well as the children, it is rare to gather so together in our family, didn't you say that you have to prepare a big red envelope for everyone? Have you stuffed enough money? In the room, under my dressing table, there is still some cash in the small box, so let's take it out together. Don't ring the bell, the red envelope you took out is too thin, and it will make the children laugh! Zhao Jing was a very happy joke.

"What are you doing, I'm ......" Meng Qi's face rose as if he was about to drip blood, and his voice couldn't be suppressed anymore.

"Look at you, I'm afraid I won't find it, right? Come on, I'll help you. Zhao Jing picked up her husband and walked to their house as she spoke, and after taking a few steps, she turned back enthusiastically and shouted: "Brother and sister-in-law, you must not leave for an excuse!" Otherwise, my brother and sister I'm really going to be angry, wait a while, just wait a while, good food is about to be delivered. ”

"What's the situation?" Zhao Jing, who was going away, couldn't see her figure anymore, Liu Qingyun looked left and right, and asked with a confused expression.

"I don't know, I won five million in the lottery, right? Or just drink too much. Meng Qi pouted.

"What are you talking about!" Wang Ling patted her husband's arm and said with a smile: "Zhao Jing has a very good temperament, although she has not been diligent in moving around over the years, she has never blushed and talked about her mouth. Perhaps, it's really been too stressful at work lately! Earn millions a year, and the hard work is naturally something we can't experience. ”

"What my sister-in-law said is, let's sit down, don't be busy going back, no matter what the reason is, but it's absolutely inappropriate to go now. Relatives who are so close to each other can't move around less in the future, and they can't really make a fuss if they say anything. Song Yiyi explained.

"Alas! I'm tired, old man. Sister, let's go to my house to talk, I haven't seen you for a while, but your body is getting worse and worse. Although he was full of silver hair, Meng Chongxue, who was still very tough at first glance, shook his head helplessly, helped his sister Meng Zhiyun, and turned back to his house.

Li Xiangwei also followed to help up, and Mrs. Tan, who was already a little confused, beckoned Meng Wenwen and said, "Wenwen, come here, help grandma help your grandma go back to the house." ”

Although several old people left the table one after another, the embarrassing atmosphere did not last long, and after about three or four minutes, Zhao Jing took her husband Meng Lin's hand and walked out of the house with a very happy look.

At this time, Meng Lin, although his face was a little strange, he did not have much embarrassment or resentment, and walked forward to greet him with enthusiasm that he had forgotten all about the past.

The delicacy that Zhao Jing said was really delivered quickly, and it was exquisite and rare, and the cost was definitely expensive.

Seeing this, the other two families gradually accepted Zhao Jing's apology sincerely, and the conversation became more and more joyful and friendly.

As for the specific reason, it is only Liu Lu who knows best.

It's just that to his surprise, the strength seems to be a little bigger. As a result, Zhao Jing's reaction was a little excessive. Fortunately, the final result was acceptable.
