Chapter 42: The Joyful Unfolding

Remember [Chinese Network] in one second, and provide you with high-speed text debut. Looking at the scenery outside the window, and then looking at the transportation he was taking, Liu Jianming couldn't help but feel that he had crossed again.

The view from the window is typical of the mid-20th century town, because it is connected by a railway, and the traffic with the surrounding cities is relatively smooth, the development of this town is relatively good, most of the houses are still red brick bungalows, and occasionally you can see one or two buildings with exterior decoration. Although the development of this place is not bad in a town far away from the city, compared with the car Liu Jianming was riding, the town is obviously much more dilapidated.

If Liu Jianming's car is described by Liu Jianming himself, it can probably be compared with many luxury cars of the super-rich family in the animation, this car has two rows of seats behind it in addition to the driver's seat, and these two rows of seats are placed face to face, in other words, the passengers in the two rows of seats can talk face-to-face. Now Liu Jianming is sitting in the back row, sitting with Li Lei, while Han Meimei is sitting in the front row with Lucy Lily's twins, and everyone is talking warmly.

Han Meimei herself was reluctant to talk about her family's situation, but the middle-aged man in the horse coat who was driving was very keen to introduce her owner. According to him, the Han family is a large local landowner, and it can be said that the land of the entire town, as well as the factories and workshops, are the property of the Han family, not only those local officials dare not trouble the Han family, but also the people of Shengyang, who also give the Han family face and enough benefits to help manage the town and the surrounding areas. Because of hugging the right thighs, the Han family is even more like a fish in water, and the people in the entire area around the Han family basically obey the command and dispatch of the Han family.

Of course, the person who claimed to be Steward Li would not say things so explicitly, and the affairs of the Han family were added to by Steward Li for a while, and suddenly he said it like martial arts, ups and downs, infinitely exciting. Li Lei was naturally very excited to listen to it, and he was very excited. Han Meimei felt a little embarrassed, and sat in her position and bowed her head and said nothing. The Strauss twins didn't know if they didn't understand the story, or if they did, they didn't want to say anything, so they just responded with a smile. Liu Jianming was quite disdainful after listening to this story, isn't this just hugging his thighs for a long time, and he is so amazing, but of course he still has to give others enough face on the surface, so he also behaves like Li Lei. About twenty minutes later, Steward Li stopped the car.

After getting out of the car, everyone found that there was a gate in front of them, and on both sides of the door were walls that stretched for a long distance, so far that Liu Jianming couldn't see the corner at all, although he hadn't entered the door yet, but the overall style of the gate and the wall reminded Liu Jianming of the ancient Chinese buildings seen in historical dramas. Steward Li knocked on the door and confirmed his identity to the person behind the door, and the door slowly opened. Under the leadership of Steward Li, everyone walked into this gate.

As soon as you enter the door, there is an exclamation from everyone, and inside the door is a typical garden building, with ponds, rockeries, vegetation, as well as ancient buildings and pavilions, everything is available, and you can even see fish in the river connected to the pond. After a long journey, Liu Jianming suddenly felt as if he had come to a paradise. Not only Liu Jianming, but also the other people who came also reacted in the same way, Li Lei looked around and kept praising him, while Lucy and Lily twins couldn't keep their mouths together, and couldn't say a word at all.

Steward Li looked at everyone's reactions and didn't show any sound. He stood quietly in front of people to lead the way, occasionally recalling the origin of some items in the park introduced by Liu Jianming and others. After another 15 minutes of walking in the park, Steward Li stopped in front of a building.

"Guys, please come in." Steward Li opened the door of the building, "You must have worked very hard from a long distance, the master has already prepared a banquet in the house for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, and please be polite." ”

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, they are embarrassed to be this bird. Han Meimei didn't care so much, strode into the house, and turned around to shout to everyone.

"What are you doing in a daze, come in, do you want to eat cold rice?"

Seeing that Han Meimei, who was in the lead, didn't say anything, everyone hurriedly entered the house. As soon as they entered the house, they sighed again. There is a lot of space in the room, and there are several large round tables, and the tables are already set up with dishes and chopsticks. Liu Jianming counted a little, and there must be 50 people who come here to dine. There were already a lot of people in the house, and they were all well-to-do. And among the group, there is a man who stands out.

Liu Jianming unconsciously set his eyes on this man, not because he was more interested in men, but because the man was too conspicuous. Among the surrounding crowd with a height of only 1.7 meters, his visual height of almost 1.9 meters simply stands out from the crowd, and it is impossible for anyone not to notice. The man was very muscular, and almost all the clothes he was wearing were squeezed out of the muscles. Judging by his demeanor, this man should be a very resolute person, but he is also very good at dealing with people, and everyone seems to respect him. It's just that this person still looks relatively young, and it seems that he is only about 25 years old.

The man who was talking to the others noticed Han Meimei's side and walked over to her, but Han Meimei didn't react to this. The man didn't care about anything, and directly stretched out his hand and touched Han Meimei's head.

"Mei, I finally remember to come back."

"Is it okay not to do it in public?" Han Meimei sighed expressionlessly, "It's a shame, Dad." ”

Liu Jianming was standing on the sidelines watching the interaction between the two people, and suddenly, he realized that he seemed to have heard something terrible. He turned his head and found that the twins Li Lei and Lucy Lily were also looking at each other with equally surprised eyes. Then, the group erupted in exclamation in unison.

"Daddy?!!!!"

==========================================

"You're all my friends." Han Meimei's father looked at the young men and women of the same age as his daughter in front of him, and couldn't help but talk to them in a more relaxed manner, "My daughter has already talked about you on the phone before she comes back, you can just treat this place as your home." Since you are Mei's friend, then our Han family will definitely not snub you. ”

"Well, can I ask?" Liu Jianming weakly raised a hand.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." The male definitely made his head.

"I know it's rude, but I'm really curious." Liu Jianming rubbed his hands together and asked the man curiously, "You, that, dare to ask Gui Geng?" ”

After saying this, Liu Jianming immediately wanted to slap himself, "Dare to ask Gui Geng" What the hell is it?!

The man didn't care about Liu Jianming's inner activities, but directly answered Liu Jianming's question.

"Aged 41."

"I see, four...... Forty-one?! Liu Jianming looked at Han Meimei's father in surprise, and beside him, the people around him also had the same expression as Liu Jianming.

"I thought you were Meimei's big brother." Li Lei looked at Han Meimei's father and said in a voice.

"Meimei?" Han Meimei's father reacted to this title, and looked at Li Lei's eyes with a little subtlety. Just as he was about to say something, Steward Li tapped him on the shoulder.

"Sir." Steward Li checked the surroundings again, "Everyone else has already taken their seats, shouldn't you ......?" ”

The man patted his head and was about to walk to the innermost table in the room, when he suddenly came back to his senses and instructed Steward Li.

"Steward Li, you take these people to a seat, they are all distinguished guests, take them to the upper class."

Steward Li led a group of people to a table near the rostrum and ordered everyone to sit down. Han Meimei's father walked up to the stage and spoke into the microphone to the people present.

"Good evening, all the fathers and fellow villagers present." The middle-aged man was really not used to standing there and talking, so he directly took the microphone in his hand along with the pole that was supported, "This dinner is a reception party prepared to welcome my daughter home, although according to etiquette I should talk a lot more about the scene, but you also know my character, I really don't like this kind of waste of time." So everyone here, cheers to congratulate my family Mei on her homecoming! ”

"Cheers!" "Cheers!" "Cheers!" ……

All the people present touched the quilt, Liu Jianming and others naturally did not dare to slack off, and the cups of the whole table touched together. Han Meimei's father stepped off the stage and clinked glasses with the audience.

==========================================

It's been 20 minutes since the banquet started, and the current situation is that Han Meimei's family is having dinner with their closest relatives and friends, and Han Meimei is sitting next to his father, who doesn't seem to like this kind of occasion very much, but still tries to respond to the calls of the people around him with a smile. Liu Jianming and others sat at the table next to them, and there were some other people at the table, and the two sides didn't know each other, so they didn't communicate much. Now there is a cheerful atmosphere in the whole restaurant.

Li Lei was very excited, and kept telling Lucy Lily and the twins some strange things he knew to amuse them. The twins also behaved very cooperatively, responding to Li Lei with a smile. Liu Jianming, in line with the life attitude of "making a fortune in a muffled voice", sat on the seat and ate quietly, and tried his best to cover up his sense of existence. Although Liu Jianming himself doesn't like this kind of occasion where there are too many people, since he can be alone, Liu Jianming doesn't feel too uncomfortable, and sits in his seat to eat with peace of mind.

Just as Liu Jianming was thinking about what to do after eating, a woman's scream suddenly came from not far from him.

"Daddy!" It was Han Meimei, she stood up from her seat all of a sudden, "I will never marry him!" ”

"May don't make trouble!" Han Meimei's father hurriedly reassured her, "Let's talk about this matter in private, all of us are guests here." ”

"I have to make it clear here." Han Meimei roared, "I will never marry him!" ”

Han Meimei quarreled with her father like this, and the people at the table watched everything that happened in a sullen voice, and Liu Jianming ate the things on the plate without care, while trying to restore what happened through these conversations.

It seems that Han Meimei's father wants his daughter to marry a man, maybe it's a kiss, maybe it's a political marriage, maybe he just thinks that the man is good, this is not something that Liu Jianming can know. The important thing is that Han Meimei herself doesn't like that man, so much so that she has to oppose this matter in front of many relatives and friends. Liu Jianming couldn't help but feel a little curious, and wanted to know what kind of person Han Meimei's father's son-in-law chose.

Just when Liu Jianming was watching the big drama in a muffled voice, a person stood up and stopped the confrontation between the two.

"Please be calm for a moment, both of you." It was a young man who spoke, "Things started because of me, Sister Han, if you want to scold, scold me." ”

When Han Meimei saw this man, she was even more angry, and she already wanted to do something.

"Don't come near me, I will never marry you!"

"Wow!!" Seeing this scene in front of him, Liu Jianming couldn't help but exclaim, the long-lost eight-level plot is here.

Liu Jianming took a closer look at the young man and couldn't help but marvel. That person is not only handsome, but also exudes an elegant temperament, at first glance he is a very knowledgeable person, and his figure is also very well-proportioned, which can be described as "a talent".

Thinking of these, Liu Jianming compared himself again, he knew that he ate and slept all day long, slept and played, and the topics he was good at were either animation or games, and he couldn't talk to most people at all. Not to mention female friends, there are not even many male friends, and they are a loser.

Liu Jianming shook his head, putting aside these meaningless thoughts, he began to imagine how the plot of the story would develop. Judging from the fact that this man is indeed a talent, Han Meimei's father should really like this person, so the plot of the two may be: the woman did not accept this man at first, the man tried his best to help the woman, in the process of getting along, the woman gradually felt the warmth of the man, and finally in an accident, the man desperately rescued the woman, and the woman's accumulated emotions finally broke out, fell in love with the man, the two got married, and lived a happy life, fin.

Thinking of this, Liu Jianming couldn't help but feel lost, after all, he and Han Meimei had been getting along very happily for a semester, and it would naturally be a lie to say that he didn't feel anything about Han Meimei. Seeing that Han Meimei had a marriage contract with another man, Liu Jianming couldn't help but sigh. He shook his head and decided to keep eating without worrying about it.

After the mediation of the unmarried son-in-law suspected of being of the Han family, Han Meimei and her father ended the dispute and sat back in place. The original silent banquet hall has also been transformed into its original lively appearance. Li Lei still continued to communicate with the Lucy Lily twins, and Liu Jianming also continued to eat a big meal in a sullen voice. Until the convention came, everyone left the table together and said goodbye to Han Meimei's father.

Liu Jianming and his entourage saw that the banquet was over, and left the banquet hall under the leadership of Steward Li. Not long after the group walked out of the door, Han Meimei's father greeted them.

"I'm sorry for not entertaining you before," although you are the head of the Han family, he still bowed slightly to Liu Jianming and his party, "Next, can you allow the contemptible people to entertain you alone, it's not a secret, I really want to know what Mei's situation is in the school." ”
