Chapter 109: Dinner
Yang Yue thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Brother Chen Xiao, my sister is generally a good person, usually a little arrogant and bad-tempered, but her personality background is good, she will be sad because the stray cat has been freezing to death in winter, and she will also be angry because she sees others being bullied, and she will help strangers she never knows." ”
"That's it...... No one is without shortcomings, and that's what I want to say, I think you're just a little misunderstanding, what do you think? ”
As she said these words, the girl's bright eyes stared at Chen Xiao, waiting for his answer.
"You have a point."
"It's actually just a small thing, and I'm at fault."
Chen Xiao replied along the lines and looked at her with a smile: "It's just that I didn't expect such connotative words to come out of your mouth, like when I was in high school, I was just an otaku who liked to play games, and I was too much worse than you." ”
"No, no, these are just my feelings for my brother, and they don't have any connotation."
Yang Yue waved his hand again and again, with a gentle and sweet smile on his face.
Chen Xiao reached out and touched her head.
The road in the capital at night was terribly congested, and Chen Xiao drove for more than half an hour to get home, which was originally ten minutes away, and these were all based on his five illegal driving times.
——
The Zhou family's mansion looks like a huge courtyard house from the outside, but the courtyard is also divided into several houses, and the place for dinner in the evening is the most central house called "Chunxin Garden".
There is no ancestral hall of the Zhou family in Chunxin Garden, nor is there any luxurious and expensive decoration, just the simplest house decoration, and a tent is set up in the middle of the courtyard where you can eat.
There are no ceremonies, no gifts, just a dinner in the evening.
There was no special arrangement for these dishes in the evening, just some of the simplest home-cooked dishes, made by three nannies together.
As an old man who is about to celebrate his eighty-fifth birthday, all this can be described as simple to extreme.
And this situation also shows how huge the old man Zhou's voice is in the entire Zhou family.
——
When Chen Xiao and his girlfriend came to Chunxin Garden, the seats were almost full.
An old man with a charitable face sat on the throne, he did not have any abnormal fluctuations, he looked like the most ordinary old man walking through the street, if he had to pick out one difference, then it could only be said that his eyes were much deeper than ordinary people.
This is Old Man Zhou, Zhou Ding...... Chen Xiao's heart whispered secretly.
On the left of Mr. Zhou is his future father-in-law Zhou Jun, and on the right is a strange man, a middle-aged man who looks somewhat similar to Zhou Jun.
He is Zhou Jun's younger brother Zhou Nie, who is in the Spring and Autumn Period with Zhou Jun, and they are all figures above the elder level.
It can be said that the two brothers tenaciously supported the second generation of the Zhou family, making it stand tall and retaining the possibility of becoming a century-old family.
On Zhou Nie's right are his two sons, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Shuang.
At this time, the two brothers did not have the slightest smile on their faces, and sat in silence.
They didn't say anything about Chen Xiao's arrival.
Looking to the right, next to Zhou Jun is a middle-aged woman in her forties, the woman is wearing a black gauze skirt and a veil, her appearance can only be vaguely seen, with the gentle temperament of a half-old, it is enough to see that she must be a beautiful beauty when she is young.
Next to the women, sat Yang Yue and Yang Qianyu.
At this time, Yang Qianyu changed out of the down jacket on her body, but wore a light water blue skirt, her long hair hung down her shoulders, her waist was gently brought up with a sky blue silk belt, and her shoulders were small chiffon shawls.
Sister Yang Yue is different.
Although they are all wearing exactly the same skirts, Yang Yue's heavy makeup is light, the fine fluff on her temples naturally hangs down, her skin is like coagulation, her waist is like a small barbarian, and the tight tassel shows the girl's figure to the fullest, as graceful as willows.
And the reason why Yang Qianyu didn't tie her belt tightly was purely because her breasts were too big and would not look elegant enough.
Therefore, in this dress, my sister Yang Yue is obviously superior.
Her lips are like Fan Su, as small and delicate as cherries, her clean and white jade face is wiped with a little powder, her eyes are like water, they seem to be clear, and there is a trace of cunning in the depths of her actual pupils.
Seeing Chen Xiao coming, Yang Yue waved his wrist and said crisply: "Brother Chen Xiao, sit here!" ”
"Okay."
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, took Zhou Yuxuan's hand, and when he walked to the seat, Chen Xiao greeted the old man sitting in the main seat: "Grandpa, I am Chen Xiao, and I am also Xiaoyu's boyfriend." ”
Zhou Ding smiled, motioned for Chen Xiao to sit down, and said, "It's good to come, this will be your home in the future, sit down." ”
Chen Xiao sat down generously.
Because this time it was Zhou Ding's birthday banquet, and it was not Chen Xiao's door-to-door banquet, so he didn't need to introduce too much, he just needed to play his transparent role.
No need to say hello, no greetings, no gifts. This is what Zhou Jun explained to him before Chen Xiao's arrival.
So after Chen Xiao sat down, he remained silent and did not take the initiative to speak to the elders he didn't know.
And when Chen Xiao and Yuxuan sat down, Yang Yue said in a low voice: "Sister Xuanxuan, you and Brother Chen Xiao are really like two people now." ”
"Don't talk, little ones."
Yang Qianyu glanced at her sister.
"Hush."
Yang Yue stuck out his tongue and deliberately leaned more towards Chen Xiao's side.
This made Yang Qianyu's face, which didn't have much smile, even colder.
"Well, everyone is here, just eat, no need for any elaborate etiquette, just be happy."
There was a faint smile on Zhou Ding's old face, and he stretched out his chopsticks to clip a slice of Beijing roast duck.
Seeing the old man do it, the rest of the people began to eat, and the process of eating was basically silent, as if everyone was worried that saying the wrong thing would cause the patriarch to be unhappy, so the atmosphere of the whole table was also slightly dull.
It didn't look like a birthday party at all, but more like a simple family reunion.
After a while, Zhou Ding put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full, you can eat slowly." ”
With that, the old man got up and left.
At this time, there were so many dishes on the table that I didn't eat much at all.
At first, Chen Xiao was still a little puzzled, thinking that Old Man Zhou was unwell, but it was not until the atmosphere at the table changed from calm at the beginning to active that Chen Xiao understood.
The reason why the old man left so quickly was because he didn't want everyone to eat.
