Tao Aiguo asked strangely: "Are there any guests?" ”

"Hmm!" Duoduo nodded, but didn't tell them who the guest was.

Everyone had to wait while drinking tea.

About half an hour later, someone outside the private room spoke, and Duoduo said with a smile: "It's here!" "Immediately get up and open the door to the private room.

As soon as the door opened, I saw the waiter standing at the door with two old men who looked like elegant scholars.

"Uncle Na!" Several children shouted in surprise, and they all got up to greet them.

Old Man Na and Yue Minghui walked into the house with a smile: "Our two old men came to congratulate your mother on her birthday at the invitation of Duoduo, where is the birthday star?" ”

Lin Yongfang had already stood up, and said with a shy smile: "Don't be surprised by the in-laws, Duoduo just loves to mess around, come on, come on, sit down quickly!" ”

Lin Yongfang said and spoke, suddenly stopped, looked at his child, and then looked at the old man.

I saw the old man staring at Lin Yongfang with his eyes straight into his eyes, and he couldn't believe it.

Yue Minghui, who was beside him, also looked at Lin Yongfang with bright eyes, and touched the old man with a smile: "Old man, you can introduce the two of us quickly!" ”

Yue Minghui knew that the purpose of this trip was to go on a blind date with Lin Yongfang, at the first sight of Lin Yongfang, he was satisfied with Lin Yongfang, she was beautiful, she smiled gently, he had eaten the dishes she cooked, and her cooking skills were excellent, such a good woman really couldn't be found with a lantern, so he couldn't wait to urge the old man to make an introduction, so he could talk to Lin Yongfang.

The old man turned a deaf ear, and in front of everyone's eyes, his very distorted eyes still stared at Lin Yongfang for a moment, and asked tentatively with a little expectation: "Are you a big man?" ”

Lin Yongfang looked at the old man with a puzzled face, the name Da Nanzi was called so by her family when she didn't enter the town cultural troupe before she was fifteen years old, so many years, no one called her like this for a long time, even she almost forgot her nickname, how could her father know about it?

Lin Yongfang smiled dryly and asked, "How did you know my nickname?" ”

The old man became excited: "It's really you!" It's really you! Don't you remember me at all? ”

When Lin Yongfang heard this, he tilted his head and looked at the old man carefully, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Seeing her at a loss, the old man felt a sense of loss in his heart: "Think about it again, twenty years ago, there was a decentralized intellectual who was beaten up by a group of half-sized country boys, and you saved him. ”

"That's it! Who remembers what happened twenty years ago? Hurry up and introduce me and your in-laws! Yue Minghui urged impatiently on the side, he fell in love with Lin Yongfang at first sight.

Lin Yongfang finally remembered, but in the past 20 years, the old man is naturally a lot older than back then, and Lin Yongfang didn't pay much attention to the old man when he saved people, so he was not impressed, and after so many years, he naturally forgot about him completely, but once she was reminded of that incident, she could still remember it vaguely. Hesitantly looked the old man up and down: "You...... Are you the devolved intellectual? ”

"Yes, yes!" The old man was excited and happy, and replied with a grin.

Tao Aiguo also grinned and said, "Uncle Na and my mother are really related, and now they are actually in-laws!" Come on, come on, sit down and say. ”

The three brothers and two daughters-in-law of the Tao family warmly invited the guests to sit down with their mothers.

According to the rules of Hubei, unmarried girls generally do not entertain guests, so Aiyun has always stood aside in a regular manner, only responsible for laughing and not opening.

Although Duoduo is a married daughter, she is a guest in her mother's house, how can there be guests to entertain guests?

Then the crowd took their seats.

Duoduo said to the waiter who was still standing at the door, "Bring me the birthday cake I put here for you first, and then serve it after we finish eating the birthday cake." ”

The waiter nodded and turned to go.

Yue Minghui's eyes kept staring at Lin Yongfang, staring at Lin Yongfang a little embarrassed, and turned his face slightly.

"You've talked about it too, it's time to introduce the two of us to a formal acquaintance." Yue Minghui is about to explode, why is Na Lao doing things so unreliable today, and he still hasn't cut to the point.

The old man finally opened his mouth with joy, pointed at Yue Minghui and said to Lin Yongfang: "This is my colleague and friend Professor Yue, I heard that I was coming to eat your birthday banquet, and he had to follow me." ”

Yue Minghui was originally smiling, but when he heard this, he was immediately stupid, and it took him a long time to react, and he looked at the old man with great dissatisfaction: "Why do you want you to bring me to your in-laws' birthday banquet?" Obviously, you told me several times that you wanted me to get to know your in-laws, match the two of us, and form a new family! ”

His words were like a shocking stone, so shocked that the three brothers of the Tao family, the two daughters-in-law and Aiyun all opened their mouths into an O-shape, and they couldn't figure out what the situation was at all.

Lin Yongfang also looked embarrassed, crying and laughing, what is the matter.

Duoduo looked at the old man in a little surprise, remembering that Na Baichuan had told her that the old man had met a woman he liked when he was devolved, could it be that this woman was his mother? Definitely! Otherwise, why did the old man turn against the water at the last moment and not match Yue Minghui and his mother?

At this time, the waiter walked in with a birthday cake, and Duoduo cleared his throat: "Everyone eats the cake first." Only then did he barely ease the awkward atmosphere.

After eating the cake, everyone took out the gifts prepared for Lin Yongfang, almost all of the gifts given by his son and daughter-in-law were some supplements, and Aiyun was a box of alabaster cream.

Duoduo bought Lin Yongfang a tonic - Ejiao, in fact, women like jewelry, Duoduo wanted to buy a piece of jewelry for Lin Yongfang, but ran all the big shopping malls in Wuhan Three Towns, and there was no gold jewelry to sell in that era, so he had to give up.

Yue Minghui took out a box from his head and gave it to Lin Yongfang, and said with a smile: "This is what my daughter asked someone to help buy, see if you like it or not." ”

Lin Yongfang hesitated for a long time before taking the small box wrapped in red velveteen and opening it to see that it was a coral bracelet, and immediately closed the box and pushed it back to Yue Minghui: "I can't accept this." ”

Yue Minghui persuaded for a long time, but Lin Yongfang still insisted on refusing to accept it.

The old man was unhappy on the side, and said to Yue Minghui: "If people don't accept it, forget it, why do you keep forcing people!" ”

Then he took out his gift and smiled like a flower: "I prepared in a hurry, don't dislike it with a little care." ”

Lin Yongfang saw that it was also some supplements, and smiled and said "thank you" and accepted it.

Then began to serve, more than an hour later, a birthday banquet finally ended in a strange atmosphere, Duoduo looked at Lin Yongfang relieved, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart, she was a woman in her forties, and she was still as shy as a girl when she was pursued by a man!

But this is a good woman, and she doesn't play ambiguously with any man, so she will be burdened when she is pursued.
