After the Republic of China

Mr. Lu and his wife have been in love for decades.

Mrs. Lu used to be very obedient to the old man's words, but now she looked at her beautiful granddaughter and noble daughter, standing together like a pair of sisters, and felt reluctant to separate. She went against Mr. Lu's wishes for the first time.

"His father, let's just go and sit there without disturbing the children. If we feel uncomfortable, we can come back, okay?" Mrs. Lu asked a bit coquettishly, which made Mr. Lu blush.

The old wife did this in front of the children. Mr. Lu said that he could not stop her, so he said "yes" and agreed.

Mrs. Lu was very happy to see that her parents were also going with her, and she hurriedly asked the housekeeper to arrange a ride.

When Mrs. Lu is going, Caihua must go with her, and Mao Ya beside Mr. Lu will not go.

Shao Yunshi didn't ask Ximei to go back. She didn't take this girl with her on the previous trips.Today I want to take Ximei and ask her to take a good look at Qingdao, so that she can talk to Xiaodong and others in the future.

After arranging the entourage, the family set off in a lively manner.

The Mai family has money and status, and the hotels they book are also high-end.

When the family arrived, the Mai family was already waiting outside.

Everyone met, greeted each other, and then returned to the banquet room.In the meantime, everyone in the Mai family was amazed by Shao Yunshi's appearance and temperament, but it didn't make Shao Yunshi uncomfortable at all.

Shao Yunshi sat at a seat by the window, and was pulled by her little brother to look out at the sea. She saw the lighthouse on the sea shining brightly from a distance, and couldn't help but praise it.

Dawen went to sea with his father and saw his sister pointing at the lighthouse and praising her, so he introduced her, "Sister, this lighthouse is a navigation light on the sea."

Shao Yunshi lived in Suzhou and didn't know this, but she was still very interested in listening to her elder brother's stories about the sea.

Xiao Wu did not lag behind and followed his brother to make up for the mistakes.

The sister-in-law of the Mai family looked at the three siblings who were talking with joy in her eyes.

Sister-in-law Mai, who was talking to Mrs. Lu at the side, saw her, pushed her sister-in-law, and whispered: "Is it so rare for my sister-in-law to hide it from my aunt? If you like it, just take it home."

The Mai family has two rooms. Sister Mai gave birth to two boys but no daughters.Mai Ersao and his wife are both fun-loving and have not given birth to children yet.

The eldest of the third generation of the Mai family, Mai Qingping, is 22 years old and unmarried. He goes to university in Peking to study finance.The second eldest child, Mai Qinghe, is seventeen years old, unmarried, and studying in high school in Qingdao.

Considering that the two boys of the Mai family are of the right age, Mrs. Mai's words are not without the intention of bringing them together.

Then, as soon as she finished speaking, Sister-in-law Mai's eyes lit up. She really liked Shao Yun's poetry. She was born in a family and had a good upbringing.

Mrs. Lu was actually a little moved when she heard this. After all, the Mai family were close relatives, and the kid Mai Qingping seemed to be a steady one, so he was worthy of being a aunt in her family.

Can?Thinking about her daughter's thoughts, she regretfully did not answer the question.

Mrs. Lu didn't know what she was thinking about hiding from her aunt. Seeing her daughter frowning and thinking that she was hindering the Shao family, she whispered: "It's good for us to hide from our aunt. I haven't cared about it enough. How can I ask you to rob it?" Let’s go.”

It was difficult to answer these words, and Mrs. Mai laughed twice.

Sister-in-law Mai was not disappointed either. Marriage is not a matter of one or two sentences.However, she remembered this, and her son happened to be here today.

Besides, as for her two sons, we can only wait and see when the time comes.Both Qingping and Qinghe are suitable.

Today is a banquet for the Mai family, so naturally the heads of the Mai family will come early.The Lu family also came early, but Lu Liushun, the only family member, was a step late.

Sister-in-law Mai was afraid of being left out, so she turned around and said to Mr. Lu and his wife sheepishly: "I asked my uncle and aunt to wait a little longer. Mai Hui said he would be here in a while."

She also sincerely apologized. Before coming, she didn't expect her husband to be so late.

Mr. Lu waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. They are busy with official business. We are all members of the family and don't have to be polite. Besides, Liu Shun is not here either." Mai Hui and Lu Liushun also had too much to do and went together.

Just as they finished their business, they came to the hotel together.

Mrs. Mai was saying that they had arrived.

As soon as they entered the private room, they exchanged a few pleasantries with each other.

When Mai Hui saw that everyone was here except his eldest son, he frowned and asked, "Why hasn't Qingping arrived yet?"

Sister-in-law Mai was a little afraid that her husband would punish her eldest son, so she hurriedly replied: "He had a classmate who asked him for something yesterday. He told me today that if he is delayed, he will have to arrive later."

As long as he was settled, Mai Hui still trusted his eldest son, so he nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing that his elder brother had nothing to say, Mai Can called the waiter to serve the food.

Mr. Lu still said politely: "Why don't we wait any longer for Qingping."

Sister-in-law Mai shook her head and said: "I don't know when he will come. We eat our food. This table is not set up for him. Later, he will be punished for leading Gu Gu and the others around. Who told him Too late."

When Second Sister-in-law Mai heard this, she knew that her eldest sister-in-law was interested in the Lu family, so she hurriedly interjected: "No, Qingping should be punished, and so is this child. He has been buried in books all day long, so it's time to ask him to come out for a walk and change his mind." temper."

This matchmaking was so obvious that the Lu family mother and daughter only smiled and nodded, but did not answer the conversation.

The men didn't care about the women's affairs and directly greeted her to start the dinner.

Mai Qinghe, the second eldest son of the Mai family, was a little bored, so he sat directly next to his second uncle. Next to him was Dawen of the Lu family. The age difference between the two children was so great, and they were both a little bored, so they had nothing to say. They just lowered their heads. I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

During the banquet, both men and women sat at the same table.

Although the Lu family and the Mai family are considered wealthy families, their foundations are relatively shallow and they are not considered a wealthy family, but can only be regarded as rising stars.

There is no shortage of money, but some background is lacking.

During the meal, everyone did not pay much attention to the rule of eating and sleeping.However, everyone did not talk loudly and was basically civilized.

Shao Yunshi didn't feel bad either. She naturally responded to her mother's greeting.

Her every move, word and deed is all seen in the eyes of the Mai family.

Mai Hui nodded secretly, as worthy of his brother's praise, how can we simply say that she is a new or old lady? She is a well-educated lady.

Elegant and unconventional, yet elegant and quiet.

This is a real lady from aristocratic families, not those who claim to be ladies and ladies.

Mai Hui wanted to get married, but looking at his youngest son in front of him, he secretly sighed, this boy was not worthy of her.

Compared to Mai Hui's loss, Mai's sister-in-law was very enthusiastic.

She fell in love with this young girl with excellent temperament at the first sight. Not to mention how beautiful she was, she fell in love with her graceful manner.Nowadays, her family lacks nothing but this nobility.

Nowadays, when she looks at people eating, the etiquette and rules are engraved in their bones. There is no deliberateness in their actions, and they have a charm of their own. She has never seen such a graceful manner when eating.

However, she also saw the droopy look on her youngest son's face. In the past, she only thought he was well-behaved and sensible, but now she especially felt bad, he was too petty and unworthy of him.

Fortunately, she also has a heart-warming eldest son. Qingping is the pride of the Mai family both from the outside and inside. (End of chapter)
