Chapter 178 Banquet
Author: cool beauty
Xiao Hong blinked at her: "I did it on purpose to make him think that Uncle Zhao is so generous. He wants to save face. If the red envelope is too small, he won't be able to use it."
After saying that, he took out the red envelope and counted the money inside, and said proudly: "There are four hundred. I'm sure he just listened to what we said and added more money to it."
"You are the only one who is smart." Xiao Mengqiu couldn't help but snicker: "I let them show off, but now I'm afraid they'll have to worry about money."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Hong with disgust: "Look at you, it's such a hot day and you're carrying a bag when you go out. Aren't you afraid of the heat?"
Xiao Hong was also feeling miserable. Carrying a bag on her back in the summer was so hot that she started to sweat.
But she couldn't say that the things in her backpack were too important. She was afraid that Liu Meijuan and the others would look through her bag, and she was determined not to let the backpack out of her sight.
So he raised his chin very smugly and said: "This is so fashionable!"
"Hey, you just like to pretend..."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, then they saw Xiao Fang coming over on a tractor.
Xiao Fang laughed when she saw them: "Sister Mengqiu, sister, why did you come to pick me up?"
Then he looked at Xiao Hong: "By the way, sister, Brother Yan called me early this morning and said that you left a book in his car and asked if he would send it back to you."
"Ah?" Xiao Hong always felt like she had forgotten something, but now she remembered that she forgot to call Yan Hong.
This can't be blamed on her. She has been busy with important things these days, and of course she has no thoughts of romance. She really forgot about her new boyfriend.
As for the book falling on his car, that was naturally his excuse.
Maybe he didn't know how to contact him, or he thought he was back.
She pretended to be nonchalant: "After we go back in the evening, I'll call him back and ask him to leave the book for me first."
Xiao Mengqiu responded kindly: "You can also ask him to deliver the book to my house."
Xiao Hong refused calmly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Xiao Mengqiu didn't think much about it, but said to Xiao Fang excitedly: "Do you think the clothes your sister and I are wearing look good? Your sister bought them, and she also bought one for you. They look good."
Xiao Fang is also a young girl who loves beauty. She nodded when she saw it: "It's very pretty, and she has a very elegant temperament."
Xiao Hong was also willing to praise her mother in front of her cousin: "Thanks to my aunt, she gave us the money to buy it and it was a gift for us."
The three sisters went back chatting and laughing.
At this moment, Liu Meijuan came from the kitchen to the hall to get the plates, and saw the three bags brought by Xiao Hong put aside. At this moment, Xiao Jianjun and the others were not around, so she couldn't help but open them out of curiosity.
One of the bags contained Xiao Hong’s towel, toothbrush and a change of clothes.
The other two more beautiful and compact bags contained two sets of clothes. The materials were very good to the touch, and they even had hanging tags. You could tell at a glance that the prices were not cheap.
The third Xiao sister just came in and saw Liu Meijuan still touching her new clothes.
Xiao Hong was very glad that she had the foresight to keep her backpack with her. She frowned and said, "Aunt Liu, that's my thing. Don't touch it."
Liu Meijuan didn't expect to be blocked by them, but now Xiao Hong was no longer someone she could manipulate at will, so she could only force out a smile: "I thought this was a gift you brought home from the provincial capital?
"
Xiao Hong admired her shamelessness: "I am still a child myself. Now I rely on my mother to support me. How can I have money to buy gifts for my father?"
"This is after I was admitted to college. Uncle Zhao rewarded me with a thousand yuan and asked me to buy some clothes."
Anyway, they would rather praise their stepfather for being generous to them, so that she can understand that her biological father is not as good as her stepfather, so don't be jealous when she becomes rich in the future.
Liu Meijuan wished she could shut her mouth.
Why didn't she realize that Xiao Hong was so able to bully people before?
Today was a good day for her daughter, and she didn't want outsiders to laugh, so she reluctantly smiled at them and quickly went to the kitchen.
Xiao Mengqiu and Xiao Fang both gave her a thumbs up.
Xiao Jianhua is really happy today. He thinks that he has made money now, and he also wants the people in the village to look up to him. Today's banquet is also very sumptuous.
Chicken, duck, and fish are also prepared in sufficient quantities.
There are five tables prepared downstairs and three more tables upstairs. The whole village has been invited.
Nowadays, except for relatives, only one person from the family will come to treat guests, but children under ten years old do not occupy seats and will come in to eat meat.
So it was really lively and bustling with people.
Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang also sat at the same table with their uncle, aunt, second grandfather and others. When someone complimented them, they would show shy smiles to get away with it.
Xiao Jianhua took his eldest brother with him and toasted table after table with wine glasses, mixing beer and liquor with them.
Finally, the banquet broke up, and he was also drunk. His face turned red and he yelled with a big tongue: "I, I am happy today, my three daughters are all going to be successful..."
Xiao Jianjun helped his younger brother back to his room and said casually: "Yes, yes, you just wait to enjoy it!"
Everyone who came to the banquet today came with red envelopes.
But first Xiao Jianhua wanted to save face and didn’t accept the red envelope.
But Aunt Xiao and Grandpa Xiao both prepared three red envelopes for them and asked them to study hard.
Uncle Xiao also specially took them to worship his parents, saying that he wanted to comfort their parents' spirits in heaven.
Xiao Hong had no problem with this. After four o'clock in the afternoon, she followed her uncle to the mountain to pay homage to her grandparents.
When they came back, Xiao Jianhua got up after drinking too much. He still remembered to give the red envelope to Xiao Fang, told them to come back often in the future, and asked them to stay for a few more days during the summer vacation.
Of course Xiao Fang didn't want to, and she had already thought of an excuse: "Dad, eldest sister didn't find a suitable house in the provincial capital this time. We have to look for a house again."
"If you can find a suitable house, you will have a place to stay when you go to the provincial capital in the future. We will come to visit you next time."
To be honest, she doesn't want to come here either.
But when I left with my mother, I agreed that I would not change my surname in the future and that I would come back to see him. When he gets old, I have the obligation to take good care of him.
Now I ask them to come as soon as they come back because they are worried that if they don't come back, they will make trouble with their mother.
However, it is impossible for them to stay.
She has never had any conflicts with them, and she speaks nicely, so Xiao Jianhua is embarrassed to ask them to stay: "That's fine, you guys should be careful. If anything happens, call your uncle and ask him to give me a message."
In fact, this time it was his wife who said that the store was too busy and wanted their sisters to stay and help.
But if they can really buy a house in the provincial capital, since they are their own daughters, they will be taking advantage of it.
Liu Meijuan was very unhappy after hearing this, but she didn't want to go against him, so she came up with an idea: "Brother, Fenfang also wants to visit the provincial capital. Do you think you can bring her along?"
