Chapter 1:11 Rejoicing in the Family Feast
"Hello uncle and aunt!"
Shao Hui cleaned up at the speed of a soldier, simply ate something, and took a taxi to his uncle's house.
My uncle's house is in a high-end villa complex on the outskirts of the city, built on the mountain, scattered and green. Although it is said to be winter, the fragrance of plum wafts from time to time, making people feel very comfortable bathed in the warm sunlight.
Their home is a three-story villa, the first floor is the living room and dining room, the second floor is the study and study, and the third floor is the activity room.
Shao Hui's father was going to buy a villa here, but Shao Hui's mother felt that it was too far away from the city to work by herself, and she didn't want to get too close to her second brother's house, so Shao Hui's house was bought in the center of the city.
The uncle's family has a daughter, that is, Shaohui's cousin Tong Yueting. Yueting is one year younger than Shao Hui, but she learns a year in the morning, so this year is also a senior and is about to graduate. She is a well-known flower in the Chinese department.
"Sister-in-law still hasn't come?" Yueting's mother said to her husband as she watched Shao Hui enter the door alone.
"If you don't come, don't come, I guess what's going on at home." Shaohui's uncle is called Tong Junwu, three years old apart from his father Tong Junwen, and the two are about the same size, but the uncle is slightly thinner, with slightly whiter skin and less white hair. Although they are all middle-aged people in their forties, they are still so handsome and chic, not losing to young people at all, I don't know how many girls I fascinated when I was young.
Shaohui has always admired his father and brothers, they are so straightforward and capable, both family background and personal ability are very outstanding, no wonder they are doing smoothly in foreign trade, and the handsome face itself is the best business card.
It's just that in the past two years, my uncle has gone abroad less, and most of them are my father's business abroad. Since the Spring Festival is only a major festival in the Chinese circle, Europeans and Americans are not more than this festival, so my father left in a hurry after a small gathering at home.
Maybe Shaohui should use the vacation to go abroad with his mother to accompany his father, but due to his military status, he can only accompany his mother at home.
Shaohui's grandfather and grandmother also passed away a few years ago, and there is no one at his grandfather's house, so the Spring Festival family reunion is always held in turn between the two families. This year's family reunion was held at Shao Hui's house, where his father was at the time.
Today, on the first Saturday after the Spring Festival, a party is going to be held for this future son-in-law.
It stands to reason that Shaohui should come with his mother, but Yimei said that she couldn't come to her elementary school reunion. In fact, Shao Hui knew that his mother was reluctant to come even if she was at home, and she was looking for all kinds of excuses, and he was also strange, and he didn't know what it was for.
In fact, he was wishing that his mother would not come, and he was so strict, it was really breathless, and he often made himself ugly in front of his family, especially in front of his cousin Yueting.
Speaking of his cousin Yueting, Shao Hui will be much happier. His younger sister is worthy of being the school flower, with long hair fluttering, clear eyebrows, especially those big eyes that are bright and bright, just like the misty West Lake water, rippling blue waves, making people lose their minds at a glance, and then lose their souls.
Yue Ting is not only beautiful, has a demeanor, but also has a very good literary style, and has published a lot of poetry and prose. What's even more rare is that she has a good temperament, is knowledgeable, and can deal with human accidents easily, easily resolve the daily friction between her parents, and handle the relationship between her classmates is even more handy, and she is also the Minister of Literature and Art of the Student Union.
If you take the characters in the Dream of Red Mansions as an analogy, her writing is like Daiyu, mature like Baochai, lively like Xiangyun, and there are just no shortcomings in them.
Uncle and aunt cherish her like a pearl in their palms, and they are also very strict with her, but fortunately, her daughter is self-disciplined and does not have to be like her mother to manage Shaohui, so Yueting's life is short of a happy marriage.
"Brother Hui is here!" Yue Ting heard Shao Hui's voice and came out of her room upstairs. She has always regarded Shao Hui as her own brother and regarded him as her idol, and Shao Hui went to military school again, and Yue Ting admired him even more.
She often said good things for Shaohui in front of her aunt, asking her aunt not to control her cousin so strictly, but in fact, she also secretly helped her aunt take care of Shaohui, for fear that he would go the wrong way.
Shao Hui didn't find this, he has always regarded protecting his cousin as his responsibility, and the relationship between the two is very good, better than those brothers and sisters who fight all day long and don't look up and don't look down. If in ancient times, it was really possible for the two families to facilitate their marriage.
"Yueting got up early. As soon as he finished saying this, Shao Hui felt a little speechless, what time was it, and he hadn't woken up from last night's wine.
"Brother Hui, where did you go to play last night and sleep until three strokes in the morning?"
"What's the matter, it's just a high school reunion, don't you classmates get together?"
"You must have drunk a lot, right?"
"What's that, who doesn't drink when they get together. Speaking of which, Shao Hui felt that he should turn to the topic, otherwise he would make a fool of himself.
"Who is here today, is it my future brother-in-law?"
When Yue Ting heard this, her face flushed slightly, and she was slightly late.
"What does he do, how long have you known each other, and how did you know each other?" Shao Hui asked these questions in a row. On the one hand, he wanted to make fun of Yueting and save her from making fun of her gaffes, but on the other hand, he was also very concerned about the man's situation, for fear that Yueting would be deceived.
"You're asking so much, which question should I answer?"
"Then let's do it one by one. ”
"He's a man. ”
"Oh. Shao Hui was stunned for a moment when he heard this answer, and then he quickly understood that Yue Ting was beginning to fool himself.
"I didn't know he was a man?"
"This must be introduced, doesn't it?" Yue Ting saw Shao Hui stunned for a moment, and laughed.
"Hurry up and get serious, I guess I'll be here in a while. ”
"Then you can wait for him to come and see for yourself. ”
"Alright, alright, don't make a fuss. At this time, the aunt interjected. Yueting's mother's name is Du Changying, and she is the chief accountant of the company that Shaohui's father and uncle co-founded. This is a family business, passed down from Shao Hui's grandfather's generation, although the older generation has passed away, but the brothers have no intention of separating the family, the second generation of women, only Chang Ying is in the company, Shao Hui's mother teaches in middle school, and is unwilling to participate in management. On the one hand, because she doesn't like fame and fortune, she only has family and students in her heart, on the other hand, Yimei also sees that Changying is a powerful character, she is unwilling to get involved in such rights and wrongs, and maybe there are other reasons that lead to her always hiding from the invitation of her brother-in-law's family.
Changying is a very strong person, speaks and does things neatly, and never drags his feet. The home and exterior are arranged very properly, and the top and bottom of the enterprise are managed very well. Although on the surface she only manages the accounts, in fact, she knows everyone and everything in the business, and her strength is no less than that of Shaohui's grandmother.
Shao Hui's father focuses on foreign contact, Yueting's father mainly expands sales channels in China, and the actual internal management of the enterprise is controlled by Changying, so Yimei has been avoiding this family, for fear of getting too close, and arranging herself in. And she let her son take the military academy because she had this idea: "No matter how good you are, it is impossible for you to transfer people from the army, right?"
"The guests will come after a while, Yueting go and see how Aunt Cui is prepared, whether it is Bo Chao's favorite food. ”
Aunt Cui is the nanny of their family and is preparing for the family dinner at noon. Yue Ting said yes and turned around, turning around and grimacing at Shaohui by the way.
"Bo Chao!" Shao Hui heard this name for the first time, and he literally felt that this person was incredible. Erudite transcendence, I guess that's what it means.
"Is he the future brother-in-law?" Shao Hui asked his aunt with a smile.
"Well, for the time being, let's just say. Changying replied to Shaohui.
Shao Hui carefully analyzed his aunt's words, looked up at the richly decorated hall, and nodded slightly.
To be recognized by my aunt, this person is not simple!
