Chapter 14: The Dinner Party
In the evening, the Gu family had dinner at the Chunlai Hotel on Longming Road...... It is also inaccurate to say that the Gu family is here, because the relatives on the mother's side also came.
On his father's side, Gu Ping's uncle Gu Ruilin worked for a light industry company under the Donghai Electric Group, his aunt was a doctor at the street hospital, his aunt Gu Aiying worked for an insurance company in Jinghai District, and his uncle Che Weizhong was a middle school teacher. The three of them are very close, and although they are very busy with their work, they often correspond.
In the younger generation, needless to say, the relationship between Gu Ping and Gu Xiuyan is not much to say, and the relationship between Gu Ping and his cousin Che Yijie is also very good.
Comparatively speaking, the relatives on my mother's side are much more estranged. The mother is the youngest daughter in the family, and there are two older brothers and one sister above.
The eldest uncle's family is in the countryside and the conditions are the worst; the second uncle is a primary school teacher, and the aunt works as a salesperson in a supermarket.
However, on this day, my aunt came very early and brought her son Sheng Tiange.
Sheng Tiange just graduated from college this year and was hired by the Puheng District Gymnasium.
"Xiaomei, your Gu Ping is good. Xi Xiaojuan walked into the big private room, said hello to Xi Xiaomei, and glanced at the large private room, where there were three round tables and a pair of three-person sofas at each end. "Hey, who is the girl next to Gu Ping?"
"Gu Ping's classmates. β
"What a Peugeot girl!" Xi Xiaojuan praised, and asked, "What does she do at home?"
"Her parents both work in the agency. β
Xi Xiaojuan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked: "Does that girl have a partner?" Look at my family Tiange, graduated from university, looks dignified, has a good job, has a career, and doesn't have a girlfriend yet, I'm really anxious." β
Xi Xiaomei frowned slightly, and said: "That girl just graduated from high school, her mother is my colleague, and she is very strict with her daughter, and she is not allowed to fall in love before graduating from college." β
"It's okay, let's get to know each other first. Besides, if the two of them have a relationship, Mom's words can only be used as a reference. We have a salesperson in the supermarket, her daughter is also in college, and she is not allowed to fall in love during her studies, but something happened last month, and she accidentally got pregnant, so she had to get rid of it. Guess what about her mother? So I went to the boy and asked him to marry her daughter after he graduated. β
Xi Xiaomei knew that her sister was very snobbish, and she was a salesperson in a supermarket, and she was surrounded by people of this quality, so she couldn't improve, so she thought about it and said, "Let's not get involved, they young people will talk together soon." Moreover, the girl has a high vision. β
"With the conditions of my family's Tiange, no matter how good a girl is, she is worthy of it. I went over to say hi to them. β
Xi Xiaojuan excitedly walked around the round table, and saw Sheng Tiange's eyes staring at the beautiful girl, wanting to get closer and having some stage fright, and shouted: "Tiange, come here!"
"What's wrong?" Sheng Tiange asked unhappily. His mother worked as a salesperson in a supermarket, and for this reason, he did not allow her to go to school for the entire duration of college.
"Mom introduces you to the girl, her family conditions are very good, you have to spend some energy. Xi Xiaojuan said in a low voice.
Sheng Tiange hesitated a little, looked at his mother, and saw that she was dressed decently, so he didn't say more.
"Let's go!" Xi Xiaojuan reminded softly.
The two walked to the sofa at the east end of the private room, and Xi Xiaojuan said with a smile: "Gu Ping, my aunt didn't see you say hello when she came." β
Gu Ping stood up and said, "Hello auntie, I was chatting with my classmates, and I didn't pay attention." My cousin has arrived, too?"
Xi Xiaojuan asked with a smile: "This beautiful girl is your classmate?"
"Yes. β
"You were admitted to the University of Finance, and your classmate was admitted to that university?"
"Fudan. β
"Oh, that's a good university, too. Tiange, you are their senior brother, imparting to them the experience of university life. β
Gu Ping glanced at Sheng Tiange...... The line in his head pointing to Feng Juan was thick and red.
He stepped aside and said, "Cousin, sit down and talk." Gu Ping sat opposite Feng Juan and Gu Xiuyan, with a long coffee table in between.
Sheng Tiange said politely, "Thank you!" and sat down beside Gu Ping.
Xi Xiaojuan said with a smile: "Tiange has a strong ability, and after graduation, I went to work in the gymnasium, which is a subordinate unit of the Sports Commission, with a career establishment and a stable income. Gu Ping, my aunt told you something. After Tiange graduated from undergraduate, there were many girls who liked him, but he refused. is bent on finding a girl he likes, three or four years younger than him, who can live a life wholeheartedly. β
Gu Ping smiled quietly: "Cousin is okay, he is handsome and capable." β
Gu Xiuyan quietly shook Feng Xuan's hand and whispered in her ear, "Ignore them, a pair of living treasures." β
Feng Juan is used to seeing this kind of scene, whenever relatives and friends at home come to visit, they will hint at something intentionally or unintentionally, and she pretends not to understand.
Feng Juan asked, "Xiuyan, do you want to wash your hands?"
"Together!" Gu Xiuyan stood up and went to the bathroom hand in hand with Feng Xuan.
Xi Xiaojuan and Sheng Tiange's eyes chased after Feng Juan, and when Feng Juan walked away, Xi Xiaojuan hurriedly said, "Gu Ping, you pull the string for your cousin and let them know each other." β
Gu Ping smiled: "Auntie, don't you already know each other, what else do you want me to do?"
"This girl is good, my aunt likes ......"
"However, she had just graduated from high school, so it was too early to talk about it. Moreover, my classmate is the school flower of Liubao Middle School, and there are countless people who pursue her, and she is very proud, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter her eyes. β
"Your cousin is not an ordinary person! he is an undergraduate, and he has a career, and he eats imperial food!"
"Auntie, don't mention this, her father is a department-level cadre, and her mother is also in the system, a public institution or something, no advantage. β
"You introduce them to each other, maybe they can talk?"
"It's no problem to introduce it, but it's up to my cousin to have the result or not. "I'm laughing in my heart, my aunt is thinking too much!
"Does she have a phone number? give it to your cousin. β
"That's fine. Gu Ping nodded.
After a while, the guests arrived.
Xi Xiaomei beckoned everyone to take their seats.
Gu Ping's cousins, cousins, and seven cousins, plus Feng Juan, a total of eight people, sat at a table.
Sheng Tiange was very expressive, and after sitting down, he began to speak: "In the four years of college, I realized a truth, ninety percent of the knowledge in books is useless. Like our class, people who didn't study seriously, played games, drank alcohol, and got good jobs after graduation. Relatively speaking, internships in enterprises and institutions are more important, on the one hand, they can exercise people's communication skills and hands-on ability, and on the other hand, they can also create opportunities for future employment. β
Gu Xiuyan smiled and said, "Cousin, you are studying in the second school. The students of the second book go to college in order to mix diplomas, and there is no learning atmosphere. It's completely different from my brother and my sister's college. My brother and my sister's university is to train the elite of society. β
Sheng Tiange waved his hand and said, "Hey, you don't understand! What I mean is that reading must be combined with social practice, and good academic performance does not mean that you will be good in the future." As soon as you get into the workforce, you find that what is taught in college is of little use. β
Xi Xiaojuan sat at the next table, heard her son talking eloquently, and said to Xi Xiaomei: "Tiange knows a lot of things, if you let Gu Ping contact him more, you can learn a lot of things that you can't learn in college, which will be useful for Gu Ping's future development." β
Xi Xiaomei said with a smile: "The child is old and has his own opinions, and my words are no longer effective." β
"It's not okay, you still have to take care of what should be managed, you can't let go easily. β
Xi Xiaomei smiled: "I see that what you said may not work for Tiange, didn't he even let you enter the university gate?"
"Hey, how can you speak? My family Tiange is filial! He is both smart and has seen a lot of things, and the descendants of our Xi family are the most promising. β
Gu Ping came over with a wine glass to toast, and the first one to toast was naturally the grandfather with the eldest seniority: "Grandpa, don't go back today, stay at my house, I will toast you." β
Gu Ping's grandfather and grandmother were from the countryside, and Gu Ruihai drove to pick them up.
Grandpa picked up the wine glass and said, "No, grandpa has to go back, he is not used to living outside." Gu Ping, you are the hope of our family, and we will help Taozi and Xiaorong in the future. "Xi Haitao, Xi Haiping, and Xi Xiaorong are all children of their uncle's family.
Xi Xiaojuan said: "Dad, don't worry, there is my family Tiange." β
Grandpa shook his head and said, "Tiange is not bad, but I am more optimistic about Gu Ping." β
Xi Xiaojuan's face changed suddenly, and she said, "Dad, you are old and confused, eat your food well." β
Grandpa was "hehe!" for a while.
