Chapter 21 Hu Muran's Teahouse Blind Date, Meet Li Yao Again
When Hu Muran returned home, he still felt resentful.
The maid at home has prepared dinner, Hu Huilan is sitting on the sofa rubbing the corners of her forehead, in the past year, her headache has become more and more serious, but she doesn't want her family to know, so she has endured it, and when she saw Hu Muran leading Qi Wensheng back, she was immediately full of smiles.
Today, the director of the hall, Hu Haoping, also happens to be at home, he is reading some documents in the study, he is also approaching the age of retirement, but there is no son in the family like him, who can inherit his will.
The servant came over and knocked on the door, and said, "Master, the eldest young master and Wen Sheng are back, and dinner has been prepared." ”
"Hmm." Hu Haoping closed the document and went to the front hall.
It is rare for the family to sit around for dinner, and several aunts and wives are very happy, and they change their ways to serve him vegetables and say beautiful things, but Hu Haoping is not moved, his eyes look at Hu Muran from time to time, Hu Muran only cares about eating, and does not notice that the atmosphere at the dinner table is becoming more and more solid.
Finally, Hu Haoping couldn't help but put down the chopsticks, and the chopsticks smashed on the table with a click, and the cups and saucers were shaken.
Several aunts and wives were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, knowing that Hu Muran must have caused some trouble outside, so they just thought about leaving the table quickly.
Hu Muran glanced up at his father, and he also put down the dishes and chopsticks, ready to meet his father's scolding, he was used to this kind of scene, and he was already familiar with it.
"You haven't been to the police station in a few days?" Hu Haoping's voice was full of majesty and anger.
Hu Muran clasped his hands and looked at the tips of his shoes: "It's not a few days, maybe four or five days, I don't remember." ”
"Bastard thing!"
Hu Haoping slapped his palm on the table, so frightened that several aunts and wives hurriedly left the table with their children, the youngest son immediately cried in fright, Hu Haoping was not in a hurry to appease the younger son, at this time he was angry, and when he saw Hu Muran's hanging appearance, he was even more angry to lift the table.
Hu Huilan looked a little flustered on the side, she knew that it was okay if the father and son didn't quarrel, and a quarrel would definitely make the family jump.
"Mougin, you talk well, if you don't go to work, it's obviously a mistake, and if you admit your mistake, it's over!"
"I didn't want to be a police officer in the first place, but he had to let me go."
Hu Haoping pointed at his nose and scolded: "If you are not a policeman, what are you going to be?" Be a thug? ”
Hu Muran laughed earnestly: "What's wrong with the gangster, I wasn't a gangster before you brought me back!" ”
Hu Haoping seemed to be an old blood stuck in his throat, he only felt that his chest was full of panic, his head was buzzing, and he almost fainted, and he didn't know what kind of evil he had created to give birth to such a son.
He sighed, now this son, he can't quarrel and fight, he kicked over the chair behind him and went back to the study.
The door slammed shut, Hu Haoping was still interested in eating, his eyes flashed, and he took a piece of meat and sent it to his mouth.
Hu Huilan sighed and said helplessly: "How old are you this year, and you are still so childish?" ”
Wen Sheng glanced at his uncle and whispered, "It seems that you are older than me, and you have to be scolded if you make a mistake." ”
Their small movements caught her eye, and she scolded Wen Sheng, "Have you finished eating?" I'll go back to my room when I'm done! ”
Wen Sheng returned to the room, and only Hu Huilan and Hu Muran were left in the huge front hall.
"You go and confess your mistake to your father."
Hu Muran put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Is it useful to admit mistakes?" He has always looked down on me, and in that case, he has to care what I do. ”
"Father, he just said that, otherwise how could he be so angry?"
"He's just doing it for his face."
The conversation was fruitless, Hu Muran no longer had an appetite, he was conflicted and anxious, lying on the bed, recalling the events of his childhood.
Before the age of six, he didn't know who his father was, he followed his mother to live a life of exile, in order to survive, he stole and even robbed things, but what can he do, life is still difficult, maybe he really can't live anymore, there is a strange man in the family, at first he thought that his mother sold him to human traffickers, but he didn't expect that the man to be his father.
He never blamed his mother for making such a decision, but he hated why this man would abandon them, and later learned that Hu Haoping and his mother were just in love, and there was nothing to talk about. Hu Haoping didn't like him, he took him away just because he was a son, and he began to force himself to learn things he didn't like to learn, to do things he didn't like to do, always thinking that he could grow up to be a replica of himself. Hu Huilan asked the maid to heat up a few dishes, and personally brought it to his father's study, Hu Haoping was sitting at the table in a daze, he was indeed a lot older, and a lot of gray hair was added to his temples, recently, the case was tight, not long after the smoking ban was promulgated, the whole city was searching to crack down on opium, and he had a great responsibility as the director of the police department.
"Knock knock" A few knocks on the door, Hu Huilan came in with food, Hu Haoping was very strict with his son, but he was very gentle with Hu Huilan, Huilan looked like a mother, although his wife was not very good-tempered when she was alive, but she was the only woman he loved in his life.
"Huilan, you're here."
Huilan put down the dishes and said, "Father, you didn't eat much just now, I asked the kitchen to heat the meal, you eat it while it's hot." ”
Hu Haoping sighed that it was still the eldest daughter's intimacy, and a smile appeared on his face, but when he thought of Hu Muran, he felt that he couldn't swallow it.
Maybe as he got older, he became a little sentimental, and sighed: "Maybe it's really me who is too strict with him, so he will do everything with me, and now it's almost the age of standing, but he has no fame, and no wife and children to accompany him, how can I be good in the future!" ”
Hu Haoping is very afraid that the Hu family will completely decline in his son's generation, his second son is not yet twenty and sent to study abroad, the third son is only 6 years old, and several daughters except Hu Huilan and the youngest daughter Hu Xinran have already married.
Hu Huilan suddenly had a plan, she said: "It is said that starting a family and starting a business, it is better to let Mu Ran become a family first, and if he takes care of it, maybe he will know that he has to work hard." ”
Hu Haoping felt that it made sense when he heard it, but he had a little headache about who to choose, Hu Huilan said: "I have also selected some people, and I will screen them carefully when I go back, and if there is a suitable one, I will finalize the matter early." ”
Hu Haoping nodded: "Your mother died early, and those women don't care about anything, so this matter can only be left to you." ”
"Well, Mougins is my younger brother, and I should worry about it."
Hu Haoping relieved his heart slightly, if he could say it this time, he would at least be able to cure most of his heart disease.
The next day, Hu Huilan told him about it, Hu Muran looked disdainful, not that he hadn't thought about starting a family, but he just felt that, first, he hadn't met his favorite candidate, and second, he felt that women were really troublesome, to put it bluntly, he was not chic enough, and it was not a good thing to find a woman to restrain himself.
"Instead of thinking about my life's events, think about yourself," he said. ”
Hu Huilan scolded: "What are you talking about? ”
Hu Muran said: "You have to really worry about letting me get married early, unless you first find someone who treats you well." ”
Hu Huilan was angry and funny in her heart, angry that he always likes to disagree with others, and funny that he said such childish words, but she still had a vague astringent feeling in her heart, she smiled bitterly: "How can a person like me find a good home." ”
"Why can't you, whether you can't or you don't want to."
"I'm like this, I can't drag others down, and besides, I have a child with me." Hu Huilan habitually denies herself, but what woman really doesn't crave love.
Hu Muran just wanted to open his mouth to refute, Hu Huilan said again: "I know your temper, don't worry, I will never go my own way in this matter, I will only help you Zhang Luo if you agree to it, in this world, some old ideas should indeed change, I made an appointment with a friend, Ming'er, you don't go to work, go to dinner with me, the two families meet, the girl of the Wang family heard that she is knowledgeable, her conduct and appearance are not bad, and she is less than 20 years old." ”
Hu Muran thought about it, if he didn't go, his sister would definitely keep nagging and reluctantly respond.
A teahouse was opened next to Daxing Restaurant, Hu Huilan invited the sisters of the Wang family to listen to the teahouse, Wang took his sister, came with a smile, it is a happy event to be able to become in-laws with the Hu family, although the eight characters have not been skimmed, but Wang feels that there is absolutely no problem with his little sister's conduct.
A Huangmei opera was sung on the stage, and the tone was tactful and listening, which was the story of the husband and wife returning home, which was very appropriate.
Hu Huilan is also very happy today, she carefully looked at this little sister of the Wang family, she looks delicate, her face is round, her eyes are round, she has a cherry mouth, her nose is straight and delicate, and she is pleasing when she looks at it.
Wang saw that the elder sister of the Hu family was very satisfied with her sister, and said humbly: "My sister is a little shy and can't speak. ”
Hu Huilan smiled: "Don't hinder, don't hinder, my younger brother is not good at speaking." ”
The little sister of the Wang family secretly raised her eyes and looked at Hu Muran, her thick eyebrows, the tips of her eyebrows rose slightly, and under the long and slightly curly eyelashes, she had a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew, a straight nose, and her lips with a faint pink, she was indeed a beautiful man.
Wang said: "How old is Mougins this year?" ”
Before her sister could answer, Hu Muran had already answered first: "It's not big, it's exactly 28 after my birthday." ”
As soon as Wang heard this, he was two years younger than himself, and his face became a little stiff at that time, and he said: "My sister is 19 this year, you... ”
Hu Huilan glared at Hu Muran, blaming him for being too talkative, so she could only play a round and say: "My younger brother is on an errand in the police station and has been busy with his career, so he has been delayed, but the age of a man is in his prime, isn't it?" ”
Wang also made sense when he heard it, but he always felt that his little sister was still young and could find a better one, so he began to make up reasons in his heart to refuse this blind date.
The little sister of the Wang family seemed to be very satisfied with him, and gave her sister a look from time to time.
Hu Muran was also dissatisfied with this blind date, not that he was dissatisfied with his sister, but he simply didn't feel it, if such a delicate little girl really married him, she would also harm others.
At this time, the stairs creaked, and the group came up laughing and laughing, and he saw at a glance that it was the three sisters of the Li family, who also came to listen to the play, and happened to pass by their private room.
There was only a curtain between the two private rooms, and he suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, and began to spoil it.
He lifted the curtain of the private room next door and said, "What a coincidence! ”
Before Li Yao and her two younger sisters sat down, they were startled by the sudden male voice, and when they looked at it, it was Hu Muran.
