Chapter 235: The Heart-Puting Ultimate Move Hidden in the Birthday Banquet
This birthday banquet was, as Lin Nuo said, not that complicated.
It is indeed a traditional Chinese banquet, lively and lively.
However, it is not really like eating a banquet in the village, as Lin Nuo comforted his mother and sister.
At least the food is completely different from the ones in the village!
The chef was sent from the Lin Family Restaurant Head Office, a true master of craftsmanship!
The birthday peach was made so fancy that it was almost time to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday.
However, due to the inheritance of pasta skills, all the chefs in Lin's Restaurant are top-notch.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, those who represent the country in the international pastry competition every year are basically people from the Lin family.
And, with his superb pasta skills, he won the championship again and again!
For example, at this birthday banquet, there were young chefs performing a ramen noodle show for the guests during the final stage of serving the staple food.
All ramen noodles are cooked on site.
Si Xiaoxiao secretly clapped when he saw it: "Oh my God, this technique is so awesome!"
Since it is longevity noodles, we should pay attention to one end.
A birthday banquet was peaceful and stable until the end, without any complications.
Fortunately, neither Lin Bo nor Mrs. Lin made things difficult for Wan Hong and her daughter.
A traditional Chinese banquet is usually held at noon.
In the evening, depending on the situation, we may also entertain relatives and friends.
Many of the people invited by the Lin family are friends on the scene, that is, people in the so-called network.
Therefore, after everyone finished their lunch, they went about their own business and hardly stayed at night.
Si Chen's plan was to meet Mrs. Lin after lunch, say hello, and then leave.
He brought four women to the main room and almost lined up to greet Mrs. Lin.
But I saw an old woman with gray hair sitting at the head of the hall. She was a little thin, but energetic.
Si Chen was slightly surprised. This was a seventy-year-old man? At first glance, he looked like he was almost eighty.
It stands to reason that the Lin family is a wealthy family, so she should have never suffered anything when she married into it.
Farmers work hard for many years and it is easy for them to grow old quickly.
Rich wives from wealthy families, who take good care of themselves and have professional family doctors, generally look younger than their actual age.
However, everyone's experience is different. Si Chen doesn't know the whole story, so he won't comment.
Surprised in his heart, he didn't think about it further.
When a group of them approached, Lin Nuo introduced:
"Grandma, this is my mother..."
He introduced them one by one, and Mrs. Lin responded with a smile. She also took out red envelopes from the tray on the table next to her and distributed one to Si Letian and Si Xiaoxiao.
When Si Chen saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed to be doing well.
Then, it was Yan Lixia's turn.
I don't know if it was Si Chen's misunderstanding, but Mrs. Lin's gaze stayed on his wife's face for two more seconds.
However, Mrs. Lin did not express too much, but handed Yan Lixia a red envelope and praised:
"The little girl is so handsome!"
Si Chen: ...You shouldn’t have fallen in love with my wife!
Inexplicably, he had the look of an old lady looking at Yan Lixia, looking for her granddaughter-in-law!
This made Si Chen open his mouth and reject Old Mrs. Lin's thoughts:
"Grandma Lin, this is my daughter-in-law, Yan Lixia."
"Oh." Mrs. Lin replied calmly, without any sense of loss in her expression.
Immediately afterwards, she took another red envelope from the table and stuffed it into Yan Lixia's hand.
Si Chen was shocked!
According to the tradition of Zhongzhou, the elders give red envelopes to the younger ones, only to those who are unmarried. How can anyone give it to the married?
"Grandma Lin, I am already the mother of two children in Lixia. I cannot use this red envelope of yours, I absolutely cannot use it!"
Si Chen used polite words to rebuff Old Mrs. Lin.
Never imagined!
Mrs. Lin took another red envelope from the table, a pair of red envelopes, and stuffed them into Yan Lixia's hands, saying:
"Then it's for the children. Great-grandchildren, please put it away for the children."
In this case, it will be difficult to refuse.
Si Chen clearly noticed something strange, but he couldn't feel it all of a sudden.
She could only greet her with a smile and said: "Grandma Lin, this is against the rules. The children are not here, so you don't have to spend money."
Even if you are visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, whoever brings the child will give red envelopes to whom.
There is no reason not to bring the children and give them red envelopes.
Mrs. Lin sat in front of the hall, as steady as a rock, holding Yan Lixia's hand down and refusing to let it go back:
"It's not that particular. I'm an old woman celebrating her birthday today, so of course I have the final say on the rules."
"It's a small amount of money, I'll use it to buy sweets for the children."
"Bring the dolls to play another day and meet them. Of course there will be a meeting gift."
"My old house is quiet, and Xiaonuo doesn't talk about getting married and having children. I can't even enjoy having grandchildren, alas!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Boxing, who was standing beside him, immediately smoothed things over:
"Mom, look what you said, Xiao Nuo's marriage is not on the agenda?"
"The dinner in the evening will be held at our main store. It will be Western-style. Ladies from many families in Dragon City will be present."
"When the time comes, Xiao Nuo will be free to pick and choose!"
As he said this, Lin Bo turned to look at Wan Hong and said something salty:
"You are Xiao Nuo's mother. You will also come to the dinner to check on Xiao Nuo. After all, it is a lifelong event!"
Things have developed to this point. If Si Chen doesn't understand what's going on, his life will be in vain.
When Wan Hong heard this, she clenched her clothes tightly and subconsciously looked at Lin Nuo.
"It's nothing different. It's just a meal." Lin Nuo said calmly, reassuring her mother.
In fact, for Lin Nuo, this dinner was just one of the countless blind date parties he had attended.
Anyway, I won’t fall in love with anyone, everyone is just playing along, playing tricks on me, it doesn’t matter!
Si Letian subconsciously looked at Si Chen.
Deep down in her heart, the person she trusts and relies on the most is her tough-tempered brother.
Si Chen's character, who is not afraid of even the king of heaven, is destined to become a leader for those around him.
People are accustomed to following the strong because they feel safe.
The feeling of being protected, who doesn’t like being dependent?
Si Chen's smile did not change and he winked at his sister without leaving any trace.
Si Letian felt confident and spoke at the side, saying:
"Mom, since this is my lifelong event, let's take a look at it together!"
Wan Hong was reassured by her children, so she nodded.
Soon, they walked out, and other people came forward to continue greeting Mrs. Lin.
Lin Bo was standing next to his mother, with a faint smile on his face.
He stared at the backs of Si Chen and others, twitched the corner of his mouth, and sneered.
…
Along the way, Si Chen and the others received prying eyes from passers-by and constant whispers:
"Look, that is Lin Nuo's biological mother."
"Hey, what the hell is she a village woman?"
"It is said that she was the daughter-in-law who was temporarily arranged when Director Lin went to the countryside."
"The little girl next to her is said to be Lin Nuo's sister. She has two braided braids and is also rustic."
Si Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anymore, broke free from Si Letian's hand, and rushed over:
Chapter completed!
