Chapter 30: Mother's Birthday Feast
Mother's words poured cold water on Fei's fiery heart. He sat alone on the couch for a long time until his sister asked him to go out to dinner with him.
This is a birthday party specially arranged by the sisters for their mother. Feiqiang cheered up and walked out of the door, got into his van, he was a driver every time he went out, and today was no exception. Feijia's van is the only car in the village, and every time he drives through the streets, he feels very stylish. At the beginning of the nineties, the car was a symbol of status and money, especially in the countryside, the hotel was not far from home, and it was okay to walk, but when you walked, others could not see it, and the mothers and sisters just wanted others to see how noble their identity was. On weekdays, Fei likes to drive very much, and likes the wanton pleasure and superiority of driving, but he is often forbidden by his mother and cannot enjoy himself. The reason is simple, my mother felt that it was too expensive to refuel the car, so he could only drive on some important occasions.
I drove the car today, but I couldn't let go of the mood of flying. The conversation with his mother made him feel an invisible pressure, and he had a faint feeling of extremely bad premonition in his heart. Just when Fei was distraught and cranky, a child rushed from across the road and ran directly to the van, Fei suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed the steering wheel with both hands and drove quickly to the side, and then stepped on the brakes, which avoided a car accident. The buttocks of the mother and the two sisters all left the seat, their bodies collided together, and the second sister, who was sitting on the side, was thrown out directly, and her head slammed on the car door.
The thrilling scene stunned everyone, and after a while, they all came to their senses. The sisters hurried to ask if their mother was hurt. The mother pushed their hands away unhappily.
"What's the matter with you?" The mother sharply accused Fei.
"Are you all alright?" Fei asked with a guilty face.
"Almost knocked me out!" The mother was full of resentment.
The eldest sister hurriedly gave the flying envoy a look: "We're all fine, let's go, drive slowly." ”
"With this technology, you can still drive, don't drive in the future." Mother said angrily.
Fei didn't speak, started the car, and slowly drove forward. When they arrived at the hotel, the three sisters walked in front and hugged their mother and walked inside, followed by Fei. As soon as he walked into the private room, Fei saw his father, two uncles, three brothers-in-law, and several nephews and nieces. The three brothers-in-law stood up in unison when they saw their mother-in-law coming, and called "Mom" with a smile on their faces. The mother gave an "um" in response. Then the grandson and the granddaughter greeted their majestic grandmother.
Sought after by everyone, the mother was greatly satisfied, and she was in a good mood in an instant, as if what had just happened at all, and sat on the seat reserved for her, enthusiastically pulling up the family with her two brothers.
Seeing his mother sit down, Fei Cai sat down next to his father. After sitting for a while, seeing that everyone had arrived, he flew out of the private room, asked the waiter to serve the food, and took two bottles of fine wine into the private room. He put the wine on the dining table, stood inside the door and watched the waiter bring the food in, and when he saw that it was a dish that his mother liked to eat very much, he took it and put it in front of his mother. Everything fiddled with each other and stopped, and Fei sat down.
Father and mother picked up chopsticks and took a bite of food, and at this time the others picked up chopsticks and picked up vegetables, and the second brother-in-law got up and poured wine for everyone. First to father-in-law and mother-in-law, then to others. Everyone raised their wine glasses, the children brought wine with drinks, and they all got up to toast the birthday star in a proper manner, and the mother smiled and accepted it one by one.
After the toast, the three sons-in-law presented gifts to their mother-in-law one by one according to their age. The eldest son-in-law's gift, the mother didn't even look at it, and the eldest son-in-law smiled awkwardly and returned to his seat. When it was the second son-in-law's turn to give the gift, the mother smiled, and the mother nodded slightly when the third son-in-law gave the gift. Three sons-in-law, the second son-in-law is the richest and the most popular with his mother-in-law, the third daughter ranks second in economy and second in favor, and the eldest son-in-law is nothing.
The whole dinner was about the mother, and it was all flattery. Although Fei's father is a big boss, and he is a well-known figure on the outside, at home, he is a little man centered on his wife. Everyone eats carefully, except for the mother, who talks freely, and everyone else can only echo it. On the surface, it was a very lively and harmonious birthday banquet, but everyone was worried in their hearts, and they were thinking about their own affairs in their hearts. This meal Fei didn't eat happily, and everything he ate was tasteless. His mind was full of conversations with his mother when he was at home, and Qian. Mother and Qian went back and forth in his head, it was so troublesome that his heart was not at peace for a moment, he was very irritable, but he couldn't show it, he didn't know what other people were saying, the more he was bored, the more he wanted to see Qian, although the two had only been separated for a short time.
Look outside, it's not early, Fei still wants to go to Qianqian at night, his heart is anxious. Finally, finally, the mother ate to her heart's content, there was a meaning to end, everyone understood and took the hand to eat, the mother got up, everyone quickly got up, the father walked in front, the mother walked behind, the two uncles escorted the mother out on the left and right, followed by the back of the people, etc. At the door of the hotel, they were polite to each other again, and then everyone parted and said goodbye.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Fei quickly opened the car door and greeted his father and mother into the car, and most importantly, his mother. There were only three people left in the car, and Fei asked his father whether he would go to the factory or go home, and his father said to go home, and Fei took the two of them home with a foot of oil. The journey was smooth sailing without any hiccups. My mother was tired after eating, chatting and tossing all afternoon, and went home directly to her room to sleep. Now that Fei is finally free, he can go to Qian.
