Chapter 18: Introduce yourself

At the beginning of the dinner, the brothers on the other side stopped whispering. The braggart of bragging, the eating of vegetables, soon forgot about the mountains and rivers.

Except for accompanying Bai Lu to toast the elders, Shanhe basically never left his seat and kept eating with his head bored.

Unless someone asks him, he doesn't say a word of superfluous nonsense. First, I was afraid that I would say too much, and secondly, I didn't know what to say, and the whole scene was very restrained.

Only now did he realize that the errand of pretending to be Bai Lu's boyfriend was not as "beautiful" as he imagined. is not only aggrieved, but also beneficial, which is not a beauty difference at all.

In addition, Bai Lu today is also a little strange, for some reason, since she entered the banquet hall, her attitude towards herself has returned to the previous state of ignoring answers, which makes Shanhe confused.

But since he promised others, no matter what, this temporary "boyfriend" has to pretend to be and can't give up halfway.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for a show to be performed on the stage to help Shanhe pass the time.

......

As the sister-in-law of the Bai family, Bai Xueji sat at the main table further forward. As soon as the banquet began, he would peek at Bai Lu's place when he was free.

Of course, he didn't look at his daughter, but the mountains and rivers sitting next to his daughter.

However, after looking at it for more than a dozen times, he still couldn't see where this man was excellent, and he didn't understand how his daughter could fall in love with such a stupid boy.

If you want to have no image, you have to have no courage, and he has been hiding in front of the table to eat from beginning to end, with no communication or no eyes, which is not a star and a half worse than the five people he recommended before, which is really a big disappointment for him.

But his daughter brought everyone here, and he didn't want to say more, just hoping that he wouldn't be too embarrassed at the family banquet.

......

At about eight o'clock, the banquet finally ended.

Seeing that most of the guests in the hall had left, Shanhe wiped his grease mouth, approached Bai Lu, and asked in a low voice:

"Shall I go, or shall I ......"

Bai Lu smiled and shook her head, signaling to be calm.

Not long after, I saw the relatives and friends of the Bai family get up one after another and walk towards a side hall. Shanhe followed Bai Lu in.

The side hall is not large, and everyone sits down in an orderly manner after entering. The juniors are to the east, the elders are to the west, and the old man Bai and his seven children sit alone in the north.

Soon, I listened to Old Man Bai's words:

"It's finally my family's turn to be lively, hehe. Come, let Grandpa take a good look at you little ones. Hey, there seem to be a few new faces this year?"

The old man's name is Bai Kun, he is seventy and two this year, his body is thin but very tough, his face is radiant and radiant, and there is no trace of old age.

Hearing the old man talk about the "new face", the eldest son Bai Xuebo, who was sitting behind him, took the lead in introducing:

"Dad, Xiao Yu made a new friend this year, the child is very good, he is a doctor who returned from studying in France, how about you take a look?"

After speaking, I saw a fashionably dressed woman stand up and said with a little nervousness:

"Grandpa, my name is Zhang Xinyan, it's a pleasure to meet you, I wish you a long life than Nanshan!"

"Changed again?" Bai Kun muttered in a low voice, Fang Ci nodded at Zhang Xinyan with a kind eyebrow, and motioned for him to take a seat. And Bai Xuebo had to smile awkwardly and stop talking.

Under Bai Xuebo's introduction, the introduction of newcomers began one after another:

"Dad, this is Xiao Zhao's boyfriend - Wang Hui, the ...... of the Wang Group in Guanghai City"

"Father-in-law, my family Linlin has also found a new friend, and she just came back from the United States, so I will introduce you to ......"

"Dad, this is ......"

......

After listening to these introductions, Shanhe found that everyone here had a "glamorous" resume, either a returnee doctor, or a famous family, which sounded quite bluffing.

But what about him, nothing! What should he say if he wanted to introduce it? Thinking of this, Shanhe couldn't help frowning.

After a few introductions, the hall returned to tranquility, and Bai Kun's gaze stopped on the last unfamiliar face.

Although he had toasted at the dinner, it was not an exaggeration to say that at least a thousand people had toasted Old Man Bai just now, so it was difficult for him to remember who was who. After waiting for a long time, no one introduced him, so he pointed to the mountains and rivers and asked:

"This is ......"

Seeing that he couldn't escape after all, Bai Xueji, who was sitting behind him, replied:

"Dad, this is Lulu's...... Boyfriend. ”

"Oh? yes...... Lulu's friend?"

Because the appearance conditions of mountains and rivers are too ordinary, Old Man Bai really didn't associate him with his most beautiful little granddaughter Bai Lu. After being slightly surprised, he asked with a smile:

"What's it called?"

Seeing Bai Kun ask about his situation, Shanhe guessed that Bai Lu's father might not know his "fake boyfriend" at all. So, in order not to embarrass Bai Lu and her father, Shanhe simply stood up by himself and said to the old man:

"My name is Shanhe. ”

"Mountains and rivers? It's an interesting name. What are you doing?" Bai Kun nodded and asked again.

After hearing this, Shanhe subconsciously looked at Bai Lu, wanting to get some hints.

Because judging from the introductions just now, I definitely can't get this resume. Shanhe is not afraid of being looked down upon, but is worried that it will have a bad impact on Bailu.

However, Bai Lu deliberately avoided his gaze at this time, and did not respond, so that Shanhe didn't know how to reply, hesitated for a moment, and had to reply truthfully:

"I haven't been abroad, I don't have any resume, I just graduated this year, and now I'm interning at the Second Hospital, and I'm an intern. ”

As Bai Lu's mysterious boyfriend, Shanhe has been in everyone's field of vision for two or three hours, but before this introduction, no one, including Bai Lu's parents, knew Shanhe's true identity.

Now when he heard that this son was just an intern in a hospital, he whispered one after another.

Bai Xueji, on the other hand, was full of melancholy, and lowered his head while sighing.

Only the old man Bai still smiled and said:

"Oh, there's finally a domestic one? Hehe, yes, yes. ”

After saying this joke, I can't hear the praise and disapproval, and the introduction of the newcomer is over.

Seeing that Shanhe had taken his seat, Bai Xuebo's eldest son Bai Yu stood up again, took a calligraphy and painting in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Bai Kun, saying:

"Grandpa, there were a lot of people at the banquet just now, so it's inconvenient to take it out. This painting is the authentic work of Shan Weng Qi Lao, my father and I searched for a long time to find it, and I hope my grandfather likes it. ”

As soon as he heard that it was Qi Lao's authentic handiwork, Bai Kun, who was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, immediately showed a touch of joy, carefully spread it out on the spot, and praised while nodding:

"Good, good, very good!"

Seeing that the eldest brother gave a birthday gift, the two sons of the second son Bai Xuezhong were not to be outdone, and also sent their birthday gifts:

"Grandpa, we have also prepared a gift for you, it is Mr. Xu's masterpiece, please take a look. ”

In this way, the juniors sitting on the east side gave birthday gifts to their parents one after another.

It is not difficult to see that everything is carefully selected by the children, which is not only very suitable for the old man's appetite, but also quite expensive.

Seeing that everyone gave gifts one by one, only Bai Lu and Shanhe did not say anything, and many eyes were projected on them again.

I heard a man ask:

"Shanhe, it's the first time you've attended your grandfather's birthday banquet, you must have prepared a big gift, right?
