90s Little Struggle

Chapter 178 Banquet
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, and if there are too few red envelopes, he won't be able to take them out."

After finishing speaking, he took out the red envelope and counted the money in it, and said proudly: "It's four hundred, I'm sure he just listened to us and added money to it."

"You're smart." Xiao Mengqiu couldn't help snickering: "Let them love to show off, and now I'm afraid they will feel sorry for money."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xiao Hong with disgust: "Look at you, it's a hot day, and you're carrying a bag when you come out, aren't you afraid of the heat?"

Xiao Hong is also suffering in her heart. She carried a bag in summer, and her back was so hot that she was sweating.

But she can't say that the things in her backpack are too important. She is afraid that Liu Meijuan and the others will go through her bag, so she made up her mind not to let the backpack out of her sight.

Therefore, he raised his chin and said, "This is so fashionable!"

"Hey, you just like to pretend..."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then waited for Xiao Fang who came by tractor.

Xiao Fang smiled when she saw them: "Sister Mengqiu, sister, why did you come to pick me up?"

Then he looked at Xiao Hong again: "By the way, sister, brother Yan called early this morning, saying that you left some books in his car, and asked if he wanted to send them back to you."

"Ah?" Xiao Hong always felt like she had forgotten something, but now she remembered that she forgot to call Yan Hong.

It can't be her fault, these days she is busy with important things, and of course she doesn't have romantic thoughts, she really forgot about her new boyfriend.

As for leaving the book on his car, that was of course his excuse.

Maybe it's because I don't know how to contact myself, or I think I'm back.

She pretended to be nonchalant: "When we go back at night, I'll call him back and ask him to put the book for me first."

Xiao Mengqiu answered the words kindly: "You can also ask him to send the book to my house."

Xiao Hong refused very calmly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

Xiao Mengqiu didn't think much about it, but excitedly said to Xiao Fang: "Do you think the clothes my sister and I are wearing look good? Your sister bought them, and I bought them for you too. They look good."

Xiao Fang is also a little girl who loves beauty, and she nodded straight after seeing it: "It's very pretty, with a special temperament."

Xiao Hong is also willing to praise her mother in front of her cousin: "Thanks to the eldest aunt, she gave us the money to buy it, and it is a gift for us."

The three sisters talked and laughed and went back.

But at this moment, Liu Meijuan came from the kitchen to the hall to pick up the dishes, and saw the three bags brought by Xiao Hong put aside, and Xiao Jianjun and the others were not there at the moment, so she couldn't help opening it 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 material was very good to the touch, and there was even a hang tag on it. You could tell that the price was not cheap at first glance.

The three Xiao sisters just came in when they saw Liu Meijuan still touching new clothes.

Xiao Hong was very thankful that she had the foresight to keep her backpack close to her body. She frowned and said, "Aunt Liu, that's my thing, don't move around."

Liu Meijuan didn't expect to be blocked by them, but now Xiao Hong is no longer someone she can control at will, so she can only force a smile: "I thought this was a gift you brought home from the provincial capital? "

Xiao Hong admired her thick skin: "I am still a child, and now I rely on my mother to support me. How can I have money to buy gifts for my father?"

"This is when I was admitted to university. Uncle Zhao rewarded me with 1000 yuan and asked me to buy some clothes."

Anyway, she would rather praise her stepfather for being generous to them, so that she can understand that her own father is not as good as her stepfather, so don't be jealous when she becomes rich.

Liu Meijuan wanted to gag her.

Why didn't she realize that Xiao Hong was so capable of running people off before?
Today is a good day for her daughter, and she didn't want outsiders to see the joke, so she forced a smile at them, and quickly went to the kitchen.

Both Xiao Mengqiu and Xiao Fang gave her thumbs up at the same time.

Xiao Jianhua is really happy today, he thinks he has earned money now, and he also wants the villagers to look up to him, and the banquet is well prepared today.

Chicken, duck and fish are also fully prepared.

Five tables are prepared downstairs, and there are three tables upstairs, and the whole village is invited.

Now for the treats, except for relatives, only one person from the family will come, but children under the age of ten do not occupy a seat, and they will come in to eat meat.

Therefore, it is really lively and full of people.

Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang also sat at the same table with their uncle, aunt, and second grandfather. When someone praised them, they showed shy smiles to get away with it.

Xiao Jianhua took his eldest brother to toast table after table with wine glasses, and mixed beer and white wine.

In the end, the banquet was over, and he was also drunk, blushing, and yelling with his tongue out: "I, I am happy today, my three daughters are all promising..."

Xiao Jianjun helped his younger brother back to the room, and said casually: "Yes, yes, you just wait and enjoy your blessings!"

The people who came to the banquet today all came with red envelopes.

But first Xiao Jianhua wanted to save face, so he didn't accept any red envelopes.

But Aunt Xiao and Grandpa Xiao Er prepared three red envelopes for them and asked them to study hard.

Uncle Xiao also specially took them to pay respects to his parents, saying that he was comforting the spirits of his parents 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 respects 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, and 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 was unwilling, and she had already thought up an excuse: "Father, my eldest sister didn't find a suitable house in the provincial capital this time, and we have to look for another house."

"If you can find a suitable house, you will have a place to stay in the provincial capital in the future. We will visit you next time."

To be honest, she didn't want to come here either.

But when I followed my mother, I agreed that I could not change my surname in the future, and I would come back to see him. When he gets old, I have the obligation to take care of him wholeheartedly.

Now let them come when they come back, just because they are worried that if they don't come back, they will let him go to his mother to make trouble.

However, it is impossible for them to stay.

She has never had any conflicts with this side, and she speaks nicely, so Xiao Jianhua is not ashamed to let them stay: "That's also good, you should be careful, call your uncle if you need anything, and ask him to bring 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, they are their own daughters, then it is tantamount to taking advantage of themselves.

Liu Meijuan was very upset when she heard this, but she didn't want to contradict him, so she came up with an idea: "Brother, Fenfang also wants to go to the provincial capital, can you bring her along?"
