Chapter 35: An Afternoon Tea
Several parents made an appointment for afternoon tea, Qiao Youan temporarily pulled Lin Xiaowan into the parent group, she searched on the map after receiving the address, and a high score of 4.9 popped up.
She clicked in and looked at the hot sales area, which was full of very exquisite drinks and desserts.
The dessert looks very beautiful, and the price is also very beautiful, a piece of chocolate Black Forest that she looks ordinary looks like is only sold for fifty or sixty yuan outside, and it actually sells for 128 yuan in the store.
Lin Xiaowan: Rich people's money is really easy to make.
On the day of afternoon tea, the weather was a little cloudy, a little snow outside, and the north wind was blowing, looking like the weather was going to snow heavily.
Huo Zheng was in the company and called Lin Xiaowan: "Wear more, let the driver wait for you there, don't come back too late." ”
Lin Xiaowan was dressed warmly, sitting on a low stool at the door to change her shoes, wearing too thick and bending over a little hard: "I know." ”
"Back for dinner?"
"Probably right? I saw that they had an appointment for afternoon tea, and they didn't say that they would have dinner in the evening. ”
Huo Zheng said "um": "Eat less snacks, if you can't eat at night, I will punish you." ”
Lin Xiaowan hung up the phone with a snap.
On the night of the annual meeting, Lin Xiaowan ate a little too much, varied and miscellaneous, a little indigestion and flatulence, although Huo Zheng's face was a little stinky at the time, but he didn't have a seizure, but when he fought with her in bed after the New Year, he actually took this matter carefully to punish her for not allowing &%¥#......
The meeting with the parents was unexpectedly harmonious.
The mothers who came, because she was young, everyone looked at her very lovingly, and the mothers spoke very gently, which made Lin Xiaowan feel quite comfortable with them, and one of the mothers still brought her little daughter here.
They were discussing the details and process with the plan over there, Lin Xiaowan paid a little attention to listening, and the rest of the energy was struggling with the little cake.
"Then we are going to invite the children's musical team this time, and then it happens to be the Lantern Festival, you can make some dim sum and dumplings by yourself, how about it?" Mom, who is clearly dominant, asks.
This mother is very much like a strong woman, with a small suit and a high ponytail, and she is the leader in the division of labor, Lin Xiaowan guessed that she should also be a management staff at work.
After unanimously passing, Lin Xiaowan also nodded, opened the chat box with Qiao Youan, and sent her the content of the party.
Lin Xiaowan bit her little fork and was a little curious: "Are you going to the theater to see it?" ”
"We chartered a venue, and when the time comes, we invite the team to come, and they will arrange it themselves." Another mom replied.
Lin Xiaowan nodded thoughtfully, sure enough, he was still rich.
Towards the end, there was a little episode, the mother with her little daughter, the daughter had been sleeping, and then when she woke up, she kept crying, and she couldn't be coaxed in her arms, and the strong woman's mother was a little unhappy at the time.
"I really don't understand you, since it's inconvenient to bring a child, you can't come, why do you have to get involved."
The mother with her daughter apologized again and again, and it could be seen that she was also very anxious and a little flustered, and she didn't know what to do, so she coaxed the child very quietly and bluntly.
Another beautiful young mother, a young model, saw her scrambling the child with little success, and also said: "Fortunately, Aubrey's mother booked the box in advance, otherwise it would have been in the hall outside, and such a noise would have attracted complaints from others." ”
Aubrey? Lin Xiaowan sat all afternoon, and she didn't know which mother's child this one was.
The mother took out her daughter's bottle from the mother and baby bag and tested the temperature, but it had been so long since it came out, it was already cold, and she couldn't give her daughter cold milk powder.
But several people frowned and looked at her very dislikedly, and she didn't know what to do, so she could only stand up with her daughter in her arms, trying to lull her to sleep again.
She bowed her head humbly: "I'm really sorry, I'll take her to the side for a walk, you continue." ”
But some mothers were unwilling: "You can carry her outside to coax, it's too noisy, and we can't continue." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." She lowered her attitude very low, and touched her daughter's wrapped diaper, the weight was a little heavy, and it was estimated that her daughter was mostly pulling or peeing.
Diapers are also in the mother and baby bag, and there is a soft sofa in the house, but it is obvious that she can't change her daughter's diaper in the house, and those mothers obviously have opinions about her, and they are all looking at her coldly, and they can't take the initiative to help her.
Several people stared at her, making her feel embarrassed and anxious, and she began to regret why she insisted on attending this afternoon tea today.
Lin Xiaowan had never seen someone coax such a big child, and she didn't understand the situation at all, but seeing that this mother's eyes always glanced at the bottle in her seat, she asked her, "Is she hungry?" ”
"Probably." The mother walked around with the baby in her arms, she didn't want to go to the corridor, and two steps out of the corridor was the hall outside, which was too eye-catching.
She wanted to cry a little: "That milk powder is too cold." ”
Lin Xiaowan had never given birth to a child, and she didn't know how to heat the milk powder when it was cold, but she quietly glanced at the other mothers present, but found that they all had stiff faces without exception, and they didn't mean to help at all.
She suddenly felt a little pitiful for the mother holding her daughter, and plucked up the courage to say, "Then I'll help you find a waiter to warm up." ”
In all fairness, if she was holding her daughter at the moment, helpless and no one was willing to help her, then she would definitely shed tears of sadness and shame, and it is estimated that she will have a shadow on this occasion in the future.
The mother holding her daughter was pardoned: "Thank you, thank you, sorry for your trouble." ”
Lin Xiaowan went out with a bottle to find the waiter, explained the situation again, and asked if there was any spare spare room to borrow, and the waiter asked the supervisor and took her and the mother to the staff lounge with hot water.
I didn't forget to take her mother and baby bag.
After the others left, the mothers chatted a few more words around Lin Xiaowan.
First, the beautiful model mother asked: "Is this from the Huo family?" ”
When Qiao Youan told them, she only said that she was her sister, but she herself was the youngest in the family, and a sister popped out of nowhere, and several people didn't believe it.
The strong woman's mother asked a few more questions in private, and she knew more than they knew: "People's identities are expensive, the second wife of the Huo family, I heard Hubery's mother say that she is more favored in the Huo family than the two heirs." ”
Hubery is the English name of Huo Dabao, and Huo Erbao is called Herman, and their school is bilingual, and each child has his or her own foreign name.
However, Huo Cheng and Qiao Youan don't like to use English pronouns, how can Dabao and Erbao be smooth and intimate, the English name is for the convenience of foreign language teachers, and it is not to highlight the nonsensical foreign atmosphere.
"Ouch, it's really fake, why haven't I heard the news of the Huo family's second master's marriage?"
