As a foodie, Mushanhe, who settled in the capital in his previous life, naturally frequented the major food restaurants in Beijing. And the shop specializing in hot pot in front of me is also one of the few century-old restaurants in Beijing.

It's just that compared to the current booming business, although the business of this hot pot restaurant is as good as it is in the future, for the old diners who frequent it, it can still be more or less distinguished, and in terms of original taste, it is still the purest ingredients in the eighties and nineties.

Of course, this may not have much to do with hot pot restaurants, because the so-called fresh ingredients provided by later generations of suppliers are a little different from those artificially stocked in the 90s. Diners who have a little mouth in their mouths will naturally hear the gap.

After Xu Siwen specially picked up Lin Nianjia, and the two met with Mu Shanhe and his party at the hot pot restaurant, Xu Qin also began to explain to Zhou Huimin how to enjoy all kinds of ingredients supplied by the hot pot restaurant, and how to make these ingredients the most delicious.

Witnessing this scene, Xu Siwen, whose expression was a little stunned, didn't say much in the end. Because he knew that his cousin's choice to do this was indeed a wise choice. After all, from the moment she chose to be with Mu Shanhe, she should have this kind of psychological preparation.

With the help of eating, Mu Shanhe also asked in a timely manner: "Sister Jia, is your aunt okay?" ”

"Very good! In the past few days in the capital, she also went out from time to time to meet some sisters and friends who knew each other before. ”

"That's really good, if she wants to go back to the capital in the future, she can actually come back at any time. Your mother is really dedicated to the beauty salon. However, there are a few things to enrich your life without getting too boring. ”

"Definitely! She kept telling me not to work so hard. But in fact, she works the same. ”

Referring to the changes in her mother, Lin Nianjia also felt very gratified. If she was young before, she didn't understand why her mother made such a choice. So now, she understands that her mother at that time really didn't have much choice.

In life, if there is a better choice, who chooses to have children for others regardless of their name?

After asking Lin Nianjia's Mu Shanhe, he asked in a timely manner: "Awen, how are the preparations for the engagement?" ”

"Everything is almost ready, and the engagement banquet is also arranged to be held at the group's hotels. My grandfather told my father that apart from some friends and relatives who were familiar in Beijing, other guests from other places did not bother them too much. ”

"There's really no need for that! Not to mention, if you really want to make the engagement banquet too large, it will eventually make people talk. Although you are not in politics, your father's identity is there, and sometimes you do need to be more cautious. ”

"Yes! If you can, I plan to do it in Xiangcheng when I get married in the future, what do you think? ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Shanhe said directly: "It's not good! Although you immigrated to Xiangcheng, do you think it is possible to go to Xiangcheng to do such a big event as marriage? It's just your grandfather, I'm afraid it's impossible to agree.

If you want to give my sister a big wedding, then work hard and have one more. At the wedding banquet in Xiangcheng, you don't invite people in the official face, only invite friends in the mall. In this case, it should not be a big problem. ”

"Nianjia, what do you think of this suggestion?"

Facing Xu Siwen's interested look, Lin Nianjia smiled and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome!" If you have this heart, I will be very content. Marriage is a matter for the two of us, so why make a storm in the city? ”

Seeing that Lin Nianjia didn't seem to care, Xu Siwen was a little disappointed, but Mu Shanhe said in a timely manner: "Awen, if you really want to give my sister an unforgettable wedding, it is better to take her out for a honeymoon at that time." ”

"This one does! Then when the time comes, don't you don't approve the leave! ”

"Get out! I'm not a Zhou Peel, how can I be so unkind. ”

After laughing and scolding, everyone who listened to the chatter between the two also laughed. When the dishes were ordered, they were basically wiped out, and Xu Qin also got up in time to pay the bill, and Xu Siwen specially found time to ask Mu Shanhe about inviting elders.

Hearing about the difficulties Xu Siwen encountered, Mu Shanhe thought silently and said, "If you invite Sister Jia's mother alone, will your family have any opinions?" As for the elders of the Liu family, I asked my grandfather to come forward. As for my uncle, let's not invite it! ”

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"When I go back to Liu's house, I will discuss this matter with my grandfather and uncle. Although many things are well known. But tomorrow, if my uncle appears, it will not be good for both of them.

Although my uncle is not in politics now, there is nothing wrong with some gossip. But this kind of thing, if it really has to be put on the table, it is actually not a good thing for you and my sister. My sister, I'll tell her later. ”

"Okay! To be honest, I had a headache for several days about this, and I wanted to ask Nianjia, but I was afraid that she would think too much. ”

"Don't worry, my sister's psychological endurance is definitely stronger than you think. If it was before, she might want to have the identity of the daughter of the Liu family. But right now, she doesn't care about this identity. ”

Sure enough, when Mu Shanhe talked to Lin Nianjia about it, Lin Nianjia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said: "Shanhe, if you do this, that person really won't be angry?" ”

"What right does he have to be angry? Moreover, this is also to save his face. If he really wants to appear on such an occasion, others may not be able to laugh at him in their hearts. Besides, his son just got married, is it really good to spread the news? ”

"What about Grandpa and Shanjiang?"

"They're elders and peers, so it doesn't matter if they're there. Don't worry, I'll take care of this. Say a thousand things and ten thousand, it's your mother who has worked hard to pull you up. How could you be absent from a major event in your life? ”

With Mu Shanhe saying these words loudly, Lin Nianjia was naturally very moved in her heart. She knew very well that if Liu Shengwen and his wife wanted to attend her engagement banquet, no matter from that point of view, she would not be able to refuse.

But in that case, it will make my mother feel uncomfortable. Now that she has Mu Shanhe to help her, the worries in her heart can also be put down. Although Mu Shanhe is her cousin, many times she supports her like her brother!

The next day, Mu Shanhe deliberately went to the old house, and after telling the old man and Liu Shengwen and his son about the matter, the grandfather and grandson didn't talk much. And Liu Shengwen felt bitter in his heart, but also knew that Mu Shanhe's approach was wiser.

After being silent for a while, Liu Shengwen finally spoke: "Okay, then I won't go to her engagement banquet." I prepared some gifts for her, and when Shanjiang went, I asked him to pass them on. ”

"Uncle, don't be too upset. When the engagement feast is over, I'll ask Arwen to take her to your house for a family dinner. In this way, even if you take care of your father-daughter relationship, it will not make it too difficult for the eldest aunt, do you think? ”

"That's fine!"

As a son, Liu Shanjiang felt that this was a little inappropriate. can think of this sister's life experience, as his own brother, he is actually in a dilemma. On one side is his half-sister, but on the other side is his biological mother.

Now that my father is not present, it is at least a comfort to my mother. If my father was there, how would the guests who were present on the day of the engagement party feel?

In the final analysis, my father will end up like today, and he will pay the price for the mistakes he made in his early years. But if you really have to choose one of the two mothers and sisters, in fact, everyone knows the answer!
