Thirty-four

Walk around the small pond with rockeries and walk on the cobblestone path, with crape myrtle branches stretching out to the curb, so you can get lost in your eyes. There were some adults talking in the living room in front, Chen Li looked at Shi Jiaojiao, and whispered: "I invited a lot of people, but it's just a seventeenth birthday, it's amazing." Shi Jiaojiao nodded. In fact, both of them are a little ridiculous, friends who have always made good friends, and suddenly they seem to be people from two worlds, and it is indeed a little difficult to accept such a big gap.

Walking through the atrium, through the stone path leading to the antechamber, and through a short corridor, they arrived at the place where Xia Lei led them in, where they might find her. The two couldn't help but speed up their pace, bent on getting out of this panicked mansion.

Who knew that before he arrived in the front hall, he bumped into the oncoming Xia Lei and the sixth child. "Jiaojiao, why don't you two call me first, and then come over together? also asked Xia Lei to pick up two trips. "The sixth may have just run, and his cheeks are flushed. When Shi Jiaojiao and Chen Li heard it, it was so reasonable that they couldn't help but complain about themselves in their hearts, so they had to smirk twice.

Xia Lei was still holding the gifts of the two of them in her hands, and asked with a glare, "You two won't tell me that you want to go back, right?" Chen Li scratched her head and confessed: "Uh, it's boring, my grandmother asked me to go back early, don't make trouble for others." Shi Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue, and a huge embarrassment came to her face, making her involuntarily cover her eyes: Lili, you are a little more honest......

"Hahahaha......" Xia Lei laughed without warning, "You two, you know that if I don't watch for a while, you two will retreat." After speaking, she smiled, and looked at the three of them looking at each other, Xia Lei smiled, and asked Chen Li to help get a gift, while saying: "Don't be restrained, my birthday is for you to participate, I don't have many good friends here, just the three of you." ”

Saying that, Xia Lei took a step forward, actually bowed to everyone, and said with a smile, "Because of you, I'm very happy to be here." ”

If they are so emotional, the girls are a little caught off guard, and they all laugh shyly, not knowing how to deal with it. It was still Chen Li who was generous and took the lead in taking a step forward, "We are so honored to say this." Walk! Go and meet your noble friends. Shi Jiaojiao also put aside the idea of going back, glanced at the sixth child, and said to Xia Lei: "We are also very happy to have you as a good friend." ”

Everyone nodded tacitly, and hugged Xia Lei to go deeper into the house. For the curiosity of her friends, Xia Lei made a long story short, her ancestors had been a Beijing official, and this big man was very concerned about his hometown, and he still returned to his hometown in his later years. Then, after a few rounds, the family moved back here.

Shi Jiaojiao suddenly showed a sudden expression of realization, and said: "Hey, do you remember that our school profile said that our school was originally a private school of a prestigious family, and it has slowly developed into what it is now, wouldn't it be your family?" The other three were stunned, and Xia Lei said suspiciously: "You are wrong, who has nothing to do to read the school profile." Chen Li raised her fingers and said, "She is a big fool, as long as she has words, she can read any book!" ”

Speaking of the history of the ownership of this house, Chen Li was so shocked that her mouth could put a duck egg, "You mean that this row of houses used to be your family's?" "My ancestor is the big official! Then it was so big. As she spoke, they were led by Xia Lei to a room in the deepest part of the courtyard.

Unlike the antique outside, the room was very modernly furnished, and there was a computer that was rare at the time. "This is my room. In fact, by my father's generation, the family was already very small, but there were still three uncles and two aunts. Xia Lei said, placing the gift on a white round table.

"It seems a little small for you to live here as a family!" Chen Li was a little worried at this time. Xia Lei smiled and immediately denied it: "Several uncles and aunts are in other places, and they are developing very well, only my family has moved back." It's not crowded at all, and at night, seriously, it's a little scary! The girl shrugged her shoulders and pointed in the direction of the small pond and whispered, "I'm always worried that there are water ghosts living in it." Hearing her say this about her home, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a boy's voice came in, "Xia Xiaolei, are you going to dry a few of us?" Xia Lei rolled her eyes when she heard this, and whispered: "My cousin, this person has a cheap mouth, don't pay attention to him." "Then go and open the door.

At the door was a teenager wearing a full set of branded sportswear, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, his head crossed Xia Lei, stretched desperately into the room, and muttered: "What good things are hidden inside...... Xia Lei pushed him, telling him to go quickly, and he would go to meet them immediately.

I didn't expect that the atrium, which didn't seem to be very big, could put down a round table with five twelve seats. said that it was a simple birthday for Xia Lei, but in fact, the children made a table, and the others were adults dressed in different ways. Xia Lei, as the little birthday star, sat at the main table with her parents, and Shi Jiaojiao sat together.

There were eleven people at the table, all of whom were between fourteen and twenty years old. The other eight people, five boys, two girls, knew each other well. A subtle temptation and confrontation was formed at the dinner table. Who are they? What does it have to do with the host's family? ……

Shi Jiaojiao wanted to clip a fan scallop for the sixth child, but because she tried it for the first time, she couldn't clip it. When he was anxious, a soft female voice came from the other side, "Actually, you can take it with your hands, we all use our hands, and it's okay." ”

When Shi Jiaojiao heard this, she whispered thank you, and took one with her hand and put it in the sixth bowl. Both girls blushed and didn't dare to look at each other. Chen Lila's corner of Shi Jiaojiao's clothes was pulled in order to wake the two of them up from their unreasonable shame.

There was a burst of laughter from a certain area of the table, and this laughter drew a certain line.

When the dishes were almost finished, a tall middle-aged man stood up from the crowd and said some polite words, it was Xia Lei's father. Then the lady who stood up with Xia Lei and had a group face, needless to say, was her mother.

When Xia Lei stood and thanked everyone for coming to celebrate her birthday, Chen Li couldn't help but say to the sixth child and Shi Jiaojiao, "They have a birthday like monkeys, so stupid." Shi Jiaojiao shrunk her neck and covered her mouth and said, "Like the People's Congress?" The two girls were so happy that they stopped when they were kicked on the stool by the sixth child.

Everyone at the table said their own thing, and the food and drink were harmonious. At this time, the soft voice came again, "You are Lei Lei's classmates here?" Shi Jiaojiao followed the sound and looked over, she was a cute girl wearing a strap skirt and a silk flower headband. said it was "you", and the girl looked straight at Shi Jiaojiao.
