Chapter 26: The Birthday Banquet
The old man's birthday banquet is more like a family banquet, but there are a lot of people, after all, the Sun family is deep-rooted, and the relationship is also complicated, and all kinds of relatives have their own marriages and cooperation with many businessmen or other families.
The concept of patriarchy seems to be very heavy in large families.
The old house is very large, and it is divided into a front hall and a back yard, and there is wine and meat in front, which is the world of men.
Fang Mu followed Huo Huai'an through the motions, passed through the front hall, and after greeting people from all walks of life who couldn't remember their names, Huo Huai'an sent her directly to the backyard.
The backyard is even more exaggerated, cutting flowers, knitting, and playing mahjong, and they all look like rich wives.
"Huai'an", when she saw Huo Huai'an, a middle-aged woman on the mahjong table smiled and quickly got up to greet him.
His eyes couldn't help but look at Fang Mu.
Fang Mu was a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously bit his lip and pulled Huo Huai'an a little tighter.
She doesn't like to be watched like a monkey, she subconsciously lowered her eyes and glanced at her arm, Huo Huaian still understands, the dress prepared for her is sleeved, and the cuffs are also with some lace.
"Aunt Six, my girlfriend", Huo Huai'an held Fang Mu's hand and smiled, smiling diligently and obediently.
He quietly pulled Fang Mu's cuffs down a few points, as if he was lovingly helping to sort out his clothes.
"Yes, it's so beautiful, can you play mahjong?" When the sixth aunt spoke, she hurriedly brought a glass of juice over, and when she handed it to Fang Mu, she held her with the other hand, "Come, I'll give you the position, how many rounds will you play?" ”
Fang Mu took the juice, smiled, and then looked at Huo Huai'an again, although there was still a smile on his face, the emotions in his eyes had changed, and they had turned into asking for help.
Huo Huai'an raised his eyebrows and smiled, ignoring the plea in her eyes, nodded to the sixth aunt, and turned to leave.
"Hey, Huo Huai'an......" Fang Mu looked at his figure, anxious.
"It's okay, let him go, they drink in front, we don't care about them", Aunt Six hurriedly comforted Fang Mu to the mahjong table.
Aunt Liu was very enthusiastic, and introduced her to the others present, and then pressed her to sit on the mahjong table.
If you come, you will be safe, Fang Mu can only accompany a group of old women to play mahjong.
However, the mahjong table is still useful, and the short gossip among parents is the most lively at this table.
"Have you heard, Sheng Liang, it seems that there is a little daughter outside, have you ever seen it?"
Hearing this, Fang Mu's hand holding the card paused, and he frowned unconsciously, this group of people really dare to talk about anything.
"Haven't you heard of it, it's really fake?"
"Don't mess around for money, saying that you are pregnant with a child and want to enter the door, are you still young all these years?"
Listening to what you said and what I said, Fang Mu didn't dare to speak.
"Not necessarily, it's true."
"Whether it's true or not, don't say it, it will make people listen to it for a while, it's not good if it reaches the ears of the old man, it's a good day today, don't make the old man unhappy."
"These eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, none of us have seen them, so it's better not to spread them around."
"Xiao Mu, have you heard Huai'an talk about this?"
"Huh?" Fang Mu didn't expect that he could still ask himself about this.
"No", Fang Mu smiled and quickly shook his head, "I haven't known Huo Huai'an for long, I don't even know what kind of person he is, and it's impossible for me to know about your Sun family." ”
Fang Mu's words are not false, she hasn't even thoroughly figured out Huo Huai'an.
"What did you say", the sixth aunt suddenly smiled and patted the back of Fang Mu's hand, "You will see the outside world when you say this, we will be a family in the future, regardless of you and me." ”
The sixth aunt looked at Fang Mu, got a little closer to her, and said in a low voice, "Huai'an, this child, we have grown up, we can be regarded as half of Sheng Liang, and the old man also likes him quite a lot, and when you get married, it will be a family." ”
"Oh, that's it......" Fang Mu smiled, not knowing how to reply for a while.
When Huo Huai'an's footsteps sounded, Fang Mu breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had finally seen a life-saving straw.
"Sixth aunt, the old man is here, shall I go with her to meet her?" Huo Huai'an walked to the table and directly pulled Fang Mu up from the seat.
"Okay, let's go, hurry up and show the old man", the sixth aunt looked at the two of them with a smile.
Huo Huai'an nodded, then took Fang Mu's hand and turned around.
Fang Mu was led by Huo Huai'an, and once again walked through the front hall, she could see an old man with gray hair sitting at the main table at the front.
"What's my name?" Fang Mu turned his head sideways towards Huo Huai'an and asked.
"Grandpa", Huo Huai'an smiled.
"Grandpa", Huo Huai'an whispered to her, and soon stood a little straighter, and spoke much louder.
"Haha, Huai'an, come on, come on", the old man was quite happy when he saw Huo Huai'an, no wonder the sixth aunt said that the old man liked him very much.
"Grandpa, my girlfriend", Huo Huai'an pulled Fang Mu to stand in front of the old man.
"Girlfriend? Well, it's beautiful", the old man looks quite kind, but it should be just an illusion, how can there be really a completely simple and kind person in such a family.
"Grandpa", Fang Mu smiled sweetly and shouted.
When he called this, Fang Mu Yuguang could see Sun Shengliang and Sun Tianhao sitting next to the old man, and their faces were different.
