Bai Shuai's surname is Bai, but his biological father's surname is Qiu, which sounds a little strange, but it's not.

Since ancient times, it has happened that the son takes the mother's surname.

As long as the husband and wife agree and both families agree, the child can have any surname.

What's more, the power of the Bai family is much stronger than his old Qiu family.

For the sake of the child's future, Qiu Jianyang didn't insist too much, and agreed to the matter after several consultations.

......

Bai Shuai's parents, Shanhe had seen it at Old Man Bai's birthday banquet, so there was no need to introduce it.

After a few simple greetings, Bai Xuelan's curious gaze stopped at Qin Xiaodou.

After waiting for a long time, no one introduced me, so I had to ask:

"Handsome, this girl is ......"

Seeing that his mother asked about Qin Xiaodou, Bai Shuai immediately became worried.

My mother asked me to invite my cousin and Shanhe to come to the banquet, but he brought a little girl back, which was a bit abrupt.

Although on the surface, it seems that he invited Xiaodou to help Shanhe solve the problem.

But he knew very well in his heart that that was not his true purpose.

As early as before going to the hospital, he thought about inviting Xiaodou, but he never found a suitable reason.

Now, how can he explain it to his mother?

Under the pretext of helping mountains and rivers solve "problems"?

No way!

In that case, it would be too bad for Xiaodou to save face, and it would definitely not be appropriate.

Could it be that in front of so many people, he said that he was interested in Xiaodou, so he invited him as a guest?

It doesn't seem to work either!

If he and Xiaodou are in love, then it doesn't hurt to pick it out directly, at most he sent a surprise to his parents.

But now, the situation is obviously not like this! Xiaodou only has mountains and rivers in his eyes, and if he wants to say this, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

Therefore, his own true thoughts must not be revealed.

As for the real purpose of Xiaodou's trip, Bai Shuai naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense!

If my cousin knew that Xiaodou had heard that she was coming, so she agreed to the invitation, and the "contradiction" between the two would definitely get deeper and deeper.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Bai Shuai still didn't know how to explain, so he could only deal with it head-on:

"Mom, this is ...... My friend Qin Xiaodou. She is a colleague of Brother Shan and her cousin, and both work in the Second Hospital. The four of us often eat together, hehe, when I went to look for Brother Shan at noon, I happened to meet her, so I invited her to come with me. ”

In Bai Xuelan's eyes, Shanhe and Bailu are an iron-clad pair, so she couldn't imagine that Qin Xiaodou would have anything to do with Shanhe anyway.

Therefore, when she heard that the four of them often ate together, coupled with Bai Shuai's slightly nervous tone and unnatural expression when he spoke, as a mother, Bai Xuelan quickly realized something.

Then, seeing her smile knowingly, she walked in front of Qin Xiaodou, and nodded while looking carefully:

"It turned out to be a handsome friend, what a ...... Lovely little girl. Hehe, yes, yes. ”

After speaking, he also took Qin Xiaodou's little hand, and his eyes were like looking at his daughter-in-law, which made Xiaodou extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Bai Shuai secretly sighed "It's over", knowing that his mother might have misunderstood, but he didn't know how to explain it at this time, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and sent everyone to the private room:

"Okay, okay, don't stand here yet, let's talk while eating!"

......

The dining room is spacious and bright, with an oversized floor-to-ceiling window facing the rockery and fountain to the south, where people can enjoy the view while eating.

There is a white cloth round table on the east, which belongs to the kind of oversized dining table, if you squeeze it, it is no problem to sit on about 20 people.

Since there were not many diners today, at Bai Xuelan's request, the waiter directly removed the extra wooden chairs and cutlery, leaving only six seats, which were surrounded by a half-moon around the table.

As elders, Bai Xuelan and Qiu Jianyang naturally sat in the middle, leaving two empty chairs on the left and right sides. The left side is reserved for Bai Lu and the mountains and rivers, and the right side is Bai Shuai and Xiaodou, which is just right.

After taking a seat, Bai Xuelan patted the seat on the left and said to Bai Lu:

"Lulu, come, you sit with your aunt! Shanhe, you sit too, you're welcome!"

Under Bai Xuelan's greeting, Bai Lu nodded and smiled, and sat down next to the second aunt.

As soon as she took her seat, she hurriedly looked at the mountains and rivers on the side, and her eyes were full of pleading and apology.

Seeing this, Shanhe nodded in understanding and sat next to his "girlfriend".

He knows that this "emotional" drama will have to continue.

However, since the last time the two confided their hearts in Cuixu Cave, the grievances between Shanhe and Bailu have long been resolved.

Now, letting him play this wonderful role again is no longer a chore for Shanhe, but with a little excitement and expectation.

Therefore, just a glance came, and the mountains and rivers immediately entered the play.

Seeing that Shanhe and Bai Lu were already seated, Bai Xuelan smiled slightly, and turned her head to look at the right.

But before he could speak, he was shocked by the scene in front of him:

I saw that Qin Xiaodou, who was petite, was carrying a heavy solid wood seat at this time, walking from the right side of the round table to the left.

Perhaps because the chair was too heavy, she couldn't lift it all, and there was often a grinding and clattering sound on the floor.

After walking for dozens of steps, I came to Shanhe on the other side of the round table with difficulty, straightened the chair, and sat down breathlessly.

After seeing this scene, Bai Xuelan and Qiu Jianyang were puzzled, so they heard Bai Xuelan ask:

"Xiaodou, what are you?"

"Oh, I want to sit with Brother Shanhe. Hehe, it's a good meal!"

After speaking, she smiled at the mountains and rivers around her. Then taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he bypassed the mountains and rivers again, glanced at Bai Lu with a proud face, and seemed to say:

Don't think you can monopolize Brother Shanhe. Hmph, it's a big deal that this girl moved the chair herself!

But Bai Xuelan didn't know the grievances and contests between Qin Xiaodou and Bai Lu.

In her opinion, Qin Xiaodou should have been sitting with her son, why did she suddenly run to the other side of the mountains and rivers?

Puzzled, she hurriedly looked back at Bai Shuai.

But who knows, she was shocked again when she saw it!

I saw Bai Shuai at this moment, exactly the same as Xiaodou just now, with a seat in his hand, and he was moving from the right side of the round table to the left.

In the end, Qin Xiaodou stopped next to him, and after taking his seat, he replied with a smile to his mother with an embarrassed face:

"Ahem, Mom, we are, we are...... Accustomed to such a seat, everyone sat in a row and ate their meals...... It's relatively smooth. Hahaha, you, you...... Leave us alone, let's eat, eat!"
