It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

The lively atmosphere of the Huang family's mansion gradually calmed down, and most of the people who chatted about the old days after the meal said goodbye and left, leaving only the six brothers and sisters of the second generation of the Huang family, their husbands and wives. And, all the time on Duzong's side, Huang Shen's son and daughter-in-law.

Oh, and there are fat people and skullcap for a walk in the back garden.

The old lady was old, and before the banquet was over, she felt deceived and went upstairs to rest early.

in the back garden.

"Why make such a fuss?" Skullcap Zhi said in a slightly disgusted tone - in the previous family banquet, she suddenly heard the news that Skullcap Zhi was a little embarrassed in the face of the sisters at the table, after all, who can not protect their man in their hearts?

Fortunately, her sisters have always spoiled her, and of course she is favored by all the elders, brothers and sisters in the family, so even if anyone is not angry, they dare not say some words with guns and sticks to stimulate her under this kind of sincerity, otherwise, if she is not even, she will arouse public anger.

This is the sorrow of the fortunate court in the face of the united interests of the family among the Gaomen clan.

In addition to Skullcap, the marriages of her brothers and sisters are almost all affected by the interests of "marriage".

So, divorce, remarry, or make do with it

It's very common.

Skullcap has even heard some rumors, there are individual sisters, brothers-in-law, brothers, and sisters-in-law in their daily life, just out of consideration of various interests, maintaining the superficiality of the relationship between husband and wife, but in fact, there is no essence of marriage, you have your people outside, I have my people outside, and they do not interfere with each other's private lives.

It sounds a little confusing and hard to speak, but it's so realistic and cruel.

Wen Shuo scratched his head and said, "Alas, I was used as a gun by my grandmother, and I guess the old lady really can't look at it, so find a reason to beat them on the head." ”

"Huh?" said Skullcap in surprise.

"Before the feast, the old lady asked me to teach them a lesson. Wen Shuo said with a smile and a smile: "I was still wondering in my heart, who should I teach a lesson? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Skullcap understood what her grandmother meant, and said, "Grandma expected that they would find a way to embarrass you, but I don't understand what's the point of teaching them a lesson like this?"

Wen Shuo sighed and said, "I guess, the old lady's idea is that these people have never been taught a lesson since they were young, or in recent years, right? Or maybe they have never realized their problems in communication since they were in their daily lives, and they are used to being arrogant, and they often make some harmless jokes to others in their own eyes, but they often hurt people, and unconsciously form hatred, of course, maybe not hatred, but it will become an invisible stumbling block on the road of life." In fact, this kind of unknown resentment is the most terrible for everyone, because you can't prevent it, you fail, and you can't even find the reason for it. ”

Skullcap nodded in understanding.

"Can this little lesson be useful?" said Skullcap Zhi softly.

"Who knows. Wen Shuo smiled: "If they are smart enough, they will restrain some of their personality and arrogance in their daily interactions in life and work in the future, right? ”

Skullcap Zhi pulled the character's arm, gently leaned on his shoulder, and said, "Then why do you have to accept their obvious use to help them cover up their embarrassment and save some face?"

"Because I'm scared. The fat man said with a bitter face: "The son-in-law of the old Huang family, who is either rich or noble, powerful, I, a poor fat man from a poor background, was hated by them, so what can I do?"

"Phew!" Skullcap said: "You don't care about these things, who dares to provoke you, will be unlucky." ”

"Don't praise me like that, I'll be proud. The fat man said seriously: "Pride makes people backward, makes people paralyzed by thought, and relaxes their vigilance, then it is easier to make people pit unconsciously, and maybe you have to be grateful to the person who harmed you, alas." ”

"Speak well!" skullcap straightened her face and twisted the inside of the fat man's arm.

The fat man suddenly grinned in pain, gasped and sneered embarrassedly: "It hurts, it hurts, I said slap a sweet date, they owe me a favor!"

"Meaningful?" skullcap couldn't cry or laugh - a dead fat man, everything he does must maximize his interests.

"I can't give me any substantial help, but, at least they will know in their hearts that they owe me when they meet and talk to me in the future, and they can't stand up to me in front of me, and it's not good to put on a score. Wen Shuo said slyly: "They are all the sons-in-law of the Huang family, as the saying goes, it is called lifting and not folding, single-handed, it is impossible for a bar to have a grudge because of this newness, and when they meet each other in the future, how uncomfortable it is, it is better to let them owe me." ”

Skullcap couldn't help but pinch the fat man's arm, and said with a smile: "You, I never thought that there would be people who would justifiably say that you are narrow-minded and crazy in front of others, and they don't have the same knowledge as you, considering the unity of the family, and not letting the banquet cause chaos, so they coaxed you back with good words? ”

"How many fools are there?" said the fat man, disapprovingly.

"You're fat!" skullcap pinched him angrily.

Of course, she could hear what the fat man was referring to when he said, "How many fools are there?" -- how could two or three of the seven people who could really speak such things be stupid in the eyes of the fat man. And those who believe the stupid things that these fools say are naturally stupid.

But these idiots

They are all from the Huang family!

What do you mean, fatty?

in the living room.

The old lady who woke up during the lunch break was in the bedroom, listening to Mother Liu's whispering about Wen Shuo's words and deeds at the banquet, as well as the reactions of everyone in the Huang family in private, and gently and lightly recounted.

The old lady nodded with a smile, and then came to the living room on the first floor with the support of Liu's mother.

In the living room, the daughters and daughters-in-law of the Huang family were chatting with several women, while the four brothers Huang Zheng, Huang Jie, Huang Zhi, and Huang Shen, as well as Wen Fan and Fu Jingyuan, were drinking tea and chatting in the study.

"Mom, are you awake?"

Zhuo Huilan got up first and stretched out her hand to help the old lady.

The others also quickly got up and let the old lady sit on the innermost sofa with a bonsai - they all knew that it was the old lady's favorite place to sit, and even the white cat that was lazily lying on the wide armrests of the sofa quickly jumped to the side, and after the old lady sat down, this was more exclusive than everyone else, and squeezed onto the old lady's thigh, lowered her head and squinted on the old lady's elbow lightly a few times, and obediently coiled into a ball.

"Shall the children go back first?" said the old lady with a gentle expression.

"Yes, they're all back. Pang Mei smiled.

"This year, let's talk about trouble, but it's rare to be able to reunite with the whole family. The old lady said with some emotion: "Many children are from all over the world, and they may not be able to come back twice a year. ”

And all the people opened their mouths in response.

The old lady glanced at the skullcap and didn't see it, so she asked, "Zhizhi, what about that brother?"

"Take a walk in the backyard. Zhuo Huilan replied with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Take a walk?" the old lady showed a hint of disgust on her face, and said, "It's not too early or late, what kind of walk, don't talk to the elders in the house, run to the back and hide the quiet brother, hmm, the brother didn't drink much, right?"

Several people looked slightly surprised.

The old lady smiled: "When Na Xing chatted with me in the study before, I asked him if he could drink, guess what he said?"

Of course, several people didn't know the answer, but they all looked at the old lady with curious expressions, waiting for the answer.

The old lady seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but say: "He lied to me that he didn't know how to drink, so I knocked him on the head and lied to me? Zhizhi told me a long time ago, this apricot wine is good, and then this brother said to me like a fox and said that he drinks differently from others, drinking is like drinking water, and he is not drunk when he is dry, so he said that he can't drink." ”

At this, the old lady laughed out loud.

This stalk appeared in a classic crab a few years ago, so for the women here, it really can't be said to be so funny, besides, this Wen Shuo is because of the surprisingly large amount of wine, so he will make such a fuss at today's banquet

But the old lady was happy, and everyone had to smile with her.

"I'll just say him, since you can drink so much, you have to get drunk today, I want to see how much you can drink, whether you brag or not, the old Huang family can still afford your brother to drink." The more the old lady talked, the happier Nirvana became.

also once again unmistakably sent a signal to everyone - she especially likes Qin Zhi's boyfriend, that fat man!

Zhuo Huilan's expression became more and more embarrassed, and she said with an apologetic face: "Mom, Wen Shuo really drank a lot of wine today, and also caused some bad things, and had some disputes with Zhou Yuan and Lu Haisheng at the wine table because of drinking, alas." ”

Pang Mei smiled: "It seems that our mother is also responsible for this matter." ”

"Huh?" the old lady looked curious, but the smile on her face did not decrease, and she said, "Why are you still arguing because of drinking?"

"It's nothing, this person drinks too much, and his temperament will inevitably be bigger. ”

"yes, wouldn't they be nice after that. ”

"It's all Xu and Xiao Chi who don't understand when they are young, and they treat some normal words of adults at the wine table as disputes, and they seem to be really arguing, I see, there are no such things at all, and I saw them talking and laughing together before. ”

"yes, how can there be an argument, and I didn't drink too much. ”

"Hey, I really drank too much, but ah, Wen Shuo drank a lot of alcohol, so I didn't drink too much. ”

"Yes, yes, where is the Nirvana that has drunk too much?"

Several people opened their mouths to explain, smiling, and didn't take it seriously at all.

The old lady nodded contentedly and said, "Alas, this brother and Zhizhi, Ming'er is going back to the capital, this time, it is estimated that it will take another year and a half to come back, I, I haven't been far away for some years, in a few days, go to the capital, to Zhizhi and that brother's house." ”

Zhuo Huilan was pleasantly surprised.

Everyone else was surprised.

One word!

This pampering has made them realize more clearly how high the status of Skullcap and the fat man is in the old lady's mind.
