Chapter 654
The next day was Xiang Fu's birthday banquet, and the whole family in the small courtyard got up early.

"Dad, did you sleep well last night?"

Yu Qing walked to the dining room, opened the chair and sat down to ask Ruan Xiuhua who was already sitting at the dining table having breakfast.

Ruan Xiuhua took a sip of porridge and replied with a smile: "I was really tired after taking the train for a day and a night. I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed last night. I slept very well."

Yu Qing nodded: "That's good!"

After the others washed up, they all came over to have breakfast together.

Xiang Yisen exchanged pleasantries with Ruan Xiuhua, and then asked the children: "Have you prepared your birthday present for grandpa?"

On behalf of the two younger brothers, Zhuzhu said, "Don't worry, we're ready."

At ten o'clock in the morning, when the family arrived at the hotel, there were not many people in the banquet hall, and other guests did not come so early.

There were several people in the banquet hall, but Yu Qing didn't know any of them.

Xiang Yisen naturally noticed the few people sitting in the center, but his expression was too indifferent for people to understand his expression for a while.

Several Wu family members in the banquet hall also noticed the people coming in at the door.

"Which relatives are the people who came in, old and young?"

"I don't know. We live in the country, how do we know what relatives the Xiang family has? However, it's still early. Could it be his eldest son's family who are here at this time?"

The Wu family heard that Xiang Yisen and Ruan Xiuhua came in carefully, because they were the only two in the group who seemed to be of the same age as Xiang's father's eldest son.

"The height of both of them matches the height of Xiang's family, and the age difference is not too big. Which one is?"

"I think the younger one looks a bit like a brother-in-law, but he is not weak. Didn't my sister say that the son in front was driven to the countryside by her? How can children raised in the countryside grow up to this extent?"

"I've also heard from my sister that a few years ago, the eldest son got married and had a good time with his brother-in-law. According to this situation, these people don't seem like the stepson's family."

Xiang Yisen exuded an aura of keeping strangers close and despising everything, which made the Wu family dare not act rashly.

Father Xiang, who was busy in the private room on the second floor, heard the waiter's reminder and hurried down from the second floor.

"Oh, my in-laws are here. I'm sorry. I was busy upstairs and didn't notice the situation downstairs. Please forgive me."

"My in-laws, if you have something to do, you can take care of you. We are all family members, so you don't need to be polite. There is a master of ceremonies here to greet us."

Ruan Xiuhua hadn't seen Father Xiang for a few years, and when he came down from the stairs, he held his hand tightly, and the two exchanged pleasantries.

Only now did the Wu family realize that this family was really the former son's family and Yue's family.

The members of the Wu family were also dumbfounded.

How did the former son grow up in the countryside?Could it be that the resources in the countryside are better than those in the capital?
"The ones in the countryside are the ones in the countryside. No matter what, they can't compare to those who grew up in the capital. Leaving aside Yilin, when they see Xue'er's in-laws, they will definitely come forward to curry favor with them. After all, where did they meet in the countryside?" Beijing official."

"Dad is right. It's not too early. How come Xueer and her son-in-law haven't arrived yet?"

Father Xiang made arrangements for his in-laws and his family, and then saw four people coming in at the door, they were Xiang Xue, his wife and her in-laws.

"In-laws, please sit here for a while, and I'll go meet my daughter-in-law's family."

Both sides are in-laws, in terms of closeness, of course the Ruan family is closer to him, after all Xiang Yisen is his biological son, while Xiang Xue is just a stepdaughter.

But in one's life, there are some things on the scene that cannot be expressed as one likes.

"Xue'er, bring your husband and parents-in-law to sit here." Mrs. Wu excitedly waved to Xiang Xue. She felt that it would be more honorable to be able to sit with the official in-laws at this kind of banquet.

Xiang Xue's face froze, with a embarrassed expression.

Father Xiang heard Mrs. Wu's voice, granted her wish, and led Xiang Xue's family to Wu's house.

As soon as Xiang Xue sat down with her family, Mrs. Wu pulled her to point to Xiang Yisen not far away, and said, "Xue'er, look over there, that tall man is your elder brother. You haven't seen him in years, have you?"

Xiang Xue and her in-laws all looked in the direction of Mrs. Wu's finger.

"Let me tell you, your eldest brother has lived in a small southern city for more than [-] years. You are a typical country boy. I didn't expect to come to the capital this time to dress up." Mrs. Wu thought about it, and said again: "You seem to have met him once before he went to the country?"

Xiang Xue glanced at her husband and in-laws, and nodded awkwardly: "Well, we were both young at that time, and we don't have much memory after so many years."

The old lady Wu looked not far away again, and said with emotion: "I don't know how he lives in a small southern town?"

As she said that, she changed the subject and smiled sarcastically: "However, the wife she found is very beautiful, but this beautiful woman can't live a good life, and she lost her good looks for nothing."

Xiang Xue's husband's family name is Ding, and her husband's name is Ding Ping, who is a small employee of the tax office, and her father-in-law is a small leader of the tax office.

At this time, the Ding family followed the guidance and saw Xiang Yisen. To be honest, the eldest son of the Xiang family looked five or six points similar to Xiang's father, and was more handsome than his father, but he didn't know how capable he was?
Now that they and the Xiang family are in-laws, seeing the unfavored eldest son of the Xiang family, there is no need for them to hurry up and make friends.

Ding Ping also noticed Xiang Yisen, especially Yu Qing next to Xiang Yisen, whose appearance and temperament made people's eyes shine.

"Which city does eldest brother live in now? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

Xiang Xue looked at Ding Ping suspiciously, not knowing what he meant by asking this question, but she still answered honestly: "A small town in the south, it seems to be called Yicheng. When my father went to visit them, I heard my father talk about Pass."

Yicheng?

Zhong Lingyu shows off her beauty!
Ding Ping asked again: "Where is the senior brother? Since we met here, why should we go up and say hello?"

Xiang Xue: "You" used to avoid her whenever she mentioned this elder brother. I really don't understand why you want to know him again now?

"It's time to get to know each other in the past. Don't meet them on the street in the future. A family doesn't know a family." At this time, Father Ding, the head of the Ding family, suddenly stood up.

The other people sitting together looked at him in surprise, seeing that he was still arranging his clothes, the others were even more puzzled.

Mrs. Wu thought that it was impossible for her stepson and stepmother to get along peacefully. Of course, she didn't want her relatives to take that stepson too seriously.

"Dear family, he is only a junior, you don't need to lower your self-esteem and go over to say hello to him. If you want to see the elders, you should also come over and salute us."

Father Ding brushed the hem of his clothes with a smile, and shook his head generously: "It's okay, relatives don't pay attention to these vulgar etiquette."

Although Ding's mother didn't know her husband's purpose, the couple who had lived for decades probably knew that her husband had his own intentions. She was only slightly stunned for a while, then stood up with a smile and followed her husband's pace.

"Then listen to the master, let's go over and say hello."

"Eh"

Old Mrs. Wu sat where she was, watching helplessly as her in-laws walked towards the opposite side, there was nothing she could do!

What the in-laws did was too much face for that stepson, right?

She complained to her daughter-in-law sitting next to her: "Isn't it just a kid who grew up in the countryside? Look at the attitude of your in-laws. If you don't know it, you might think you are going to meet some big leader!"

"Old leader, I haven't seen you for many years. How is your health?" Father Ding walked to Mr. Ruan's side, bowed slightly and smiled.

Ding Ping, Ding's mother, and Xiang Xue who followed behind him were all shocked. The person who can make Ding's father treat him with such a humble attitude must have a high position.

Judging by his age, he should have retired, but his influence is still great.

"You are."

Mr. Ruan looked at the person who came. He was not surprised that this person knew him. After all, he had been in power for many years and attended some important occasions. The people below would pay attention to him.But the problem is that he doesn't know this person.

Father Ding introduced himself.

Only then did everyone know that this was Xiang Xue's father-in-law. Xiang Yisen saw that he was about to have a long talk, so he looked at his watch and realized that it was getting late.

He stood up: "Grandpa, you talk, I'll go to my dad to help."

Mr. Ruan waved his hand with a smile: "Go and help your father, we don't need you here."

"This is Xue'er's eldest brother, right?" Ding's father looked at Xiang Yisen with a friendly smile, and pointed to his son: "He is your brother-in-law. Since your in-laws need help, you can take him there too. How can there be a father-in-law?" He's busy, he's a son-in-law who just sits still."

Ding Ping smiled flatteringly: "Brother Ren will send you."

Xiang Yisen glanced at Xiang Xue who was bowing his head, then turned and walked towards the door.

Seeing that his uncle did not object, Ding Ping immediately followed him like a dog.

Watching the uncle and son-in-law walk away, Father Ding laughed at himself: "My child is too dumb, he will only move when he is told, but he is still very serious and responsible in doing things."

"The children are still young, just exercise slowly."

Mr. Ruan is sitting here bored, he accepts someone to chat with him.

Yu Qing looked at Mother Ding and Xiang Xue who were sitting on the sofa next door. She had only heard of her name before, but this was the first time she had seen this nominal sister-in-law.

His appearance may have followed the appearance of his father's family. He is not tall, and his appearance can barely be regarded as handsome, but his eyes are wandering, and he does not look like a peaceful person.

Xiang Xue was also observing the people of the Ruan family, and met Yu Qing's eyes unexpectedly. She was slightly taken aback, and then put on a non-aggressive smile.

Yu Qing also smiled, looked away and chatted with her grandma in a low voice.

Mother Ding naturally noticed that Yu Qing was smiling at her daughter-in-law.

She poked Xiang Xue: "This should be your sister-in-law. She smiled at you just now. It seems that she has a good impression of you. Remember to keep in touch with her in the future to maintain your sister-in-law relationship."

Xiang Xue smiled bitterly in her heart, and nodded: "Okay."

Mother Ding pursed her lower lip. Fortunately, she didn't listen to Mrs. Wu at first, and didn't let her mislead her.If the old leader found out about her disrespect to this girl from the Ruan family because of her slander, she would be dragging her man back invisibly.

Father Ding's performance just now was noticed by the Wu family not far away.

Old Mrs. Wu pointed at Father Ding in disbelief: "If you lose someone, how can your in-laws be like this?"

Daughter-in-law Wu thoughtfully looked at Father Ding, who was easy-going, and lost the arrogance she had just seen in front of them in front of Mr. Ruan.

"Perhaps, the identity of the other party is not what we imagined. I just don't know the identity of that old man?"

Mrs. Wu snorted unconvinced, and said stubbornly: "What is your identity? Isn't she a worker in a small southern town? Maybe he should be laid off in a few years."

Wu Da's daughter-in-law shook her head, not understanding why her mother-in-law was competing with a kid who had no interest in her. As the Yue family of the Xiang family, there was no need to get involved in their family affairs.

Because it's a thankless job!
Wu's daughter-in-law noticed the person coming in from outside the door, and stabbed her mother-in-law, excited: "Look at the door, is that person the one we saw on the Beijing TV station?"

Mrs. Wu squinted her eyes towards the door, looked at the person introduced by Xiang Yisen, her eyes widened in shock: "Return it, really!"

What happened next shocked her even more!
Xiang Yisen led Huo Zhiyou to Mr. Ruan.

"Master, we meet again."

"The Huo family boy is here, hurry up and sit down, your dad didn't think about coming out today?" Mr. Ruan found Huo Zhiyou standing in front of him, and asked him to sit with him in surprise.

When Ding's father saw Huo Zhiyou, he became even more frightened. He stood up and made way for him.

Seeing Father Ding's cowardly expression, Mr. Ruan shook his head speechlessly. They are not tigers descending the mountain. Is there any need to be afraid of them?
Outsiders saw his appearance and thought they were using power to suppress others.

Mrs. Wu looked at her daughter-in-law: "Old man, do you think I am dazzled? What is the background of that stepson's Yue family? Isn't it just a working class in a small southern city? It seems that that old man also respects that old man very much! "

Daughter-in-law Wu's voice was a little trembling: "It must have a lot of background! Mother, you didn't investigate other people's origins before you harmed them? What if we offend them this time, what if they wear small shoes for our family?"

Mrs. Wu was not sure, and said guiltyly: "Impossible? Don't they all say on TV that the leaders are all prime ministers who can hold boats in their stomachs? Besides, they didn't hear what we just said."

Xiang's father's birthday banquet came to many political celebrities, scientific research leaders, and business elites. As the father-in-law's family, the Wu family is also a real farmer.

When had they ever seen such a big scene? After the birthday banquet, they sat on the sidelines and did not dare to show their anger. They were afraid of offending someone they couldn't offend. Throw it home!

It was also at this birthday banquet that the old lady of the Wu family really had a deep understanding of the gap between the two families. She used to think that her son-in-law just had a better workplace and a higher salary, but she really didn't have a deep understanding of social status.

At the end of the birthday party, Xiang Yisen put a bunch of keys in Xiang's father's hand: "Dad, you are retired now and have more free time. This car is my birthday present to you. Don't ride that car in the future." Twenty-eight bicycles, it’s too shameful!”

The surprise came so suddenly, Xiang's father was a little confused for a moment, unable to react.

A few days ago, I was still able to buy a car by taxi, but I didn’t expect to realize it today?
