Chapter 595: Birthday Banquet (4)
Xu Rui didn't know why Xu Lin suddenly mentioned this matter, but he made it clear that it was good for everyone, especially because he didn't want to affect Xiao Huan because of their unclear speculation.
Many people say how glamorous and beautiful the dignitaries' homes are, but in fact, it is just the appearance.
There are also the helplessness and contradictions of ordinary people inside.
He walked towards the location Xu Lin pointed out with his thoughts in a chaotic manner, and it was not until he saw the figure that his mind gradually calmed down.
In Xu Rui's sight, Lin Xiaohuan leaned under the tree, picked up a ginkgo biloba leaf in her hand and played with it boringly, from time to time she looked up at the treetops, gusts of wind blew, the leaves drifted with the wind, she would reach out to pick it up mischievously, and her delicate and fair little face was filled with the joy of enjoyment.
It's just that her smile didn't last long before it was replaced by a deep touch.
Xu Rui's eyes darkened, and he walked towards her.
"Tired of being in there?" He laughed.
Lin Xiaohuan was thinking about the Xu family, and after being interrupted by his sudden voice, he turned around and smiled: "It's a little, so come out to breathe." ”
Xu Rui smiled knowingly, glanced at the leaves in her hand, and then said, "You like ginkgo biloba very much?" There are also in the compound of the military headquarters, and you can go there to see it when you have time on weekends in the future. ”
"No, I'm just bored to pick up leaves and play around." Lin Xiaohuan let go of his hand with a smile, and then patted his clothes, "I went in first, and I felt that it was cooling outside." ”
"Okay, watch out for the cold." Xu Rui smiled.
Watching her walk towards the villa, he bent down to pick up the ginkgo biloba that had been thrown down, and then turned back.
As soon as Lin Xiaohuan entered the hall, many people subconsciously glanced at it, but they all looked away quickly, and only one line of sight was still staring closely.
She jerked her eyes up and looked back, and found that it was a middle-aged uncle, who was looking at her with a smile on his face, and then walked over slowly.
Song Liang wasn't sure if she was Xiao Huan, but it wasn't until she looked over and saw her eyebrows clearly that she confirmed that it was her.
"Are you Xiao Huan?" He spoke in a kind tone: "I am Liang Xuan's uncle. ”
"Uncle Song?" Lin Xiaohuan was a little surprised, "It turned out to be you, I just said that I don't know anyone here." ”
Song Liang also smiled, "On the weekend night, Su Lei called me and said that you would also come to today's birthday banquet, let me take care of it." ”
He and Xiao Huan explained why he recognized her.
"Oh...... Did the eldest brother tell you that I was coming? Lin Xiaohuan was a little surprised when he heard his words.
She originally thought that Song Liang knew about the existence of herself and Zhang Feng during everyone's chat, which would be just in time for her to walk in, so he stepped forward to test the recognition of people.
If it was Su Lei, it must have been contacted by her husband.
Sure enough, as soon as she thought so, she heard the other party say: "It was Su Luo who informed him, and then he contacted me." ”
On the weekend, Su Luo was still not at ease after hanging up the phone, so after thinking about it, he called Su Lei, wanting him to ask Song Liang if anyone he knew would also attend the birthday banquet, but he didn't expect him to come by himself.
Song Liang explained, paused and continued: "You are very similar to Zhengqing between your eyebrows and eyes, and it is easy to recognize." ”
Listening to the last two sentences, Lin Xiaohuan's gaze deepened.
She'd heard something like that many times.
Almost everyone who is familiar with her father will say this when they see her.
It's a pity that she didn't have a chance to take a good look at it herself.
Seeing that she was silent, Song Liang guessed that it was his words that made her sentimental, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to comfort, he saw the young master of the Xu family coming over.
"Uncle Song." Xu Rui greeted, "It seems that you already know each other, and I just thought about introducing you." ”
Song Liang also had a smile on his face, and greeted: "I heard Liang Xuan say it before, so I knew that Xiao Huan was coming." ”
The three of them were chatting when they heard someone in the living room shouting that the birthday banquet was about to start.
The Xu family's birthday banquet was not open to the public, so not many people came, and there were only more than 30 people in the family.
Xu Bangguo and the leaders of the Xu family sat together with the leaders of the military headquarters, the leaders of other secondary departments sat at one table, and the relatives and friends of the Xu family opened a separate table.
Xu Rui, as the only boy of the Xu family's generation, is naturally highly valued.
Originally, Minister Guo of the military headquarters wanted to ask him to sit together, but Xu Bangguo and Xu Xing hurriedly refused.
People are polite, they can't be confused themselves.
Xu Rui also smiled and declined, "Grandpa Guo, I won't be able to, my brother-in-law and I will accompany Director Fan and them." ”
When Minister Guo heard this, he nodded with a smile in his eyes, and smiled at Xu Bangguo: "Old Xu, this kid of yours is good." ”
"Minister praise, this kid is still young, and he still needs to ......practice," Xu Bangguo smiled.
The leaders were laughing and touting among themselves, and everyone else sat down one after another.
Lin Xiaohuan was pulled by He Juan and arranged by her side, and Zhang Feng naturally followed her.
Xu Rui walked over, approached He Juan and whispered, "Mom, Xiao Huan's body ...... You pay attention. ”
"Don't worry, I don't know yet." He Juan patted his arm, "You go back to the table." ”
She was smiling on her face, but she sighed slightly in her heart, Xiao Rui was still interested in Xiao Huan.
Lin Xiaohuan saw that he came here specifically to tell him such a sentence, and he was also very grateful.
When all the dishes were served, Xu Bangguo smiled and raised his glass to look at the top three, "What do the three leaders say?" ”
"What do we say? You're a birthday boy today. ”
"We're talking and we're talking."
"Lao Xu, don't be polite tonight, listen to you tonight." Minister Guo also laughed.
Xu Bangguo also smiled when he heard the words of the three leaders, and then said polite words such as thanking everyone for coming.
Finally, he concluded: "...... I won't talk nonsense, everyone is open to eat and drink tonight. ”
After saying that, everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
After the opening wine, Xu Xing and Xu Yang also hurriedly added wine to the leaders.
Minister Guo said with a smile: "Lao Xu broke the bill tonight, and invited the chef of the hotel to his home." ”
The birthday banquet has to be held at home, and the relevant service personnel can only be invited back.
"But no, I really don't want to celebrate this birthday, most of my life savings are gone." Xu Bangguo joked.
Everyone is a smart person, so naturally no one believes this.
He is afraid that bad negative news will come out later, which will prove his innocence in advance.
Zhang Lai smiled when he heard this, looked at the two brothers Xu Yang and Xu Xing, and said deliberately seriously: "This is your mistake, since Lao Xu Guoshou still wants him to pay out of his own pocket?" ”
The others also started joking.
Xu Xing is a human spirit, and immediately stood up and blamed himself: "The leaders are right, it's our fault, I'll punish myself." ”
"Yes, yes, of course we pay for it." Xu Yang followed, and after speaking, he also punished himself with a cup.
When Zhang Lai saw this, he immediately smiled at Xu Bangguo and said, "Chief of Staff, you see, I saved you a lot of savings." ”
"It's still Lao Zhang, you're amazing, I'll toast you."
The two laughed and toasted together.
With this little episode, the atmosphere on the table gradually increased, and the wine was officially drunk.
