Farmhouse Little Dad

invite to dinner

Chen Quan was very miserable that night. His hands slipped and he almost fell into the water basin. He jumped a few times before pulling his head out of the water.His face was stiff, with water droplets all over his head and face, not to mention how embarrassing he looked.

Chen Quan's sudden move also startled Jiang Yunying.

"What's wrong? Be careful, frizzy."

Chen Quan stiffened his hands and feet, and said in embarrassment: "Hand, my hand slipped..."

Jiang Yunying frowned and looked at Chen Quan, with complicated emotions, saying that the boss of their family was sensible, but the more she looked at it, the more ignorant she became.Jiang Yunying handed the clean handkerchief to Chen Quan, and said, "Dry it quickly, don't catch a cold. Remember to call your boss about what I told you just now. You must eat this meal."

Ask Lu Dongtang to come to Chen's house for dinner?This, this is absolutely not possible!

"Mom," Chen Quan wiped his face with a handkerchief, his stiff face had recovered from the darkness, Chen Quan said slowly, "Mom, I, I don't think so, I don't think the boss would care What's more, besides, I, I have already invited him to dinner to thank him, so I really don't need it this time."

Jiang Yunying glared at Chen Quan: "Why are you so careless? No one would say thank you too often. It stands to reason that this time our whole family should come to thank you together. This can better reflect our sincerity, understand? But you have also seen your father's condition. It may be next year when your father fully recovers, so I invited your boss to come. Your father told me that without the help of your boss this time, his old Fate may have returned to the West long ago."

In the eyes of the Chen family, the boss of Chen Quan who helped was the life-saving benefactor of the whole family, and we cannot thank them enough.

As for the origin and Chen Quan's grievances, he can't say anything.

But want to invite Lu Dongtang over?Is it possible?Will Lu Dongtang agree to come?

There is actually another reason why Jiang Yunying insisted on asking Chen Quan to call his boss to dinner.

People live in a comparison, comparing with various personnel and things, and at the same time, it is inevitable to be commented by others.People are always willing to fantasize about things they don't know.

After all, Chen Quan usually works outside most of the time, and it is rare to come back. In this way, people who don't know outside will make random guesses, and then all kinds of rumors spread like wildfire.The better one is that Chen Quan has been doing well outside these years, and he has met a lot of knowledgeable and powerful people, and the Chen family is about to lose money; Almost all of them mean that Chen Quan is messing around outside and not doing serious things. For example, he was taken care of by some rich women and treated as a bad guy.

Of course, the above are all our wild thoughts, at least so far no one has dared to speak nonsense in front of the Chen family. After all, these claims are groundless and have no basis.

But some things, even if they are fabricated by people, can easily become real over time.For example, Chen Quan's generous boss friend who suddenly appeared a while ago, in the eyes of ordinary people, there are various thoughts in it.Many people think, who knows if your boss is a man or a woman, and you don’t even know what your relationship is, tsk tsk, you don’t know what you have become after all these years working outside.

These thoughts are dirty and selfish, but there are definitely people who have such thoughts in this world, and it is often these people who end up with no wind and waves.

Chen Quan may or may not know about these things.After all, Jiang Yunying lived more than [-] years longer than Chen Quan, and knew some people around her very well.Of course, it mainly depends on how you think. If you want to pretend that you don’t know and don’t care about other people’s opinions, you can naturally ignore it. After a long time, everything will come to light, but this is not a good way after all.

"How do you think next week? We also have to tell other relatives in advance to prepare."

"What? Mom, there are others?"

"Of course, when your father was sick, many relatives helped a lot, so of course we have to treat everyone!

What Jiang Yunying said is also reasonable, but recovering from a serious illness is something to be happy about, so it is normal to invite guests to celebrate.Let's not talk about how much those relatives have helped, the close relationship with the Chen family, it is one thing to invite guests after recovering from illness, but it is another thing not to invite them.

But for Chen Quan, this was simply a nightmare.

"By the way, remember to tell Yingying in advance, don't forget her."

Chen Quan: "..."

Chen Quan didn't know how to react.

……

The busy farming season of the ten-day holiday passed quickly, and Chen Quan returned to Heyu to start work.

It's been two days since he went to work, but the Lu family didn't even contact him.Chen Quan couldn't help being disturbed, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment, it wasn't expectation, but he was also looking forward to it, it was very complicated.

It wasn't until the third night that Chen Quan's phone rang.

"Hello." He almost couldn't wait to pick it up.

"Mr. Chen," Steward Lu seemed taken aback, and then continued, "There is something I need to tell Mr. Chen. Mr. Lu has gone abroad, and Mr. Chen will not come to the Lu family for the time being."

Unexpectedly, after waiting for so many days, he finally got these words. Chen Quan's head became hot, and he blurted out, "When will he come back?" Shut the corners of your mouth, with regret and depression on your face, and afraid that the other party will come back tomorrow.

The steward Lu over there paused for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Chen, what is the matter with Mr. Lu? If possible, I can pass it on for you..."

"No, it's fine, thank you very much." Chen Quan quickly hung up the phone and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not very comfortable.

It didn't matter if he wasn't there, he didn't want Lu Dongtang to come from the bottom of his heart, but this way, he could convince himself that it wasn't that he didn't tell them, but that the other party was not there, so he could feel a little more at ease.

In the middle of the night, Chen Quan woke up from a complicated and messy dream, and was stunned for a long time in the dark, while the phone continued to ring.Chen Quan stretched out his hand and touched it to take a look. It was an unfamiliar number that he didn't recognize.

Why did strange numbers call into the phone from time to time, Chen Quan lazily picked it up, and a low, cold male voice came from inside.

"Are you looking for me?"

Chen Quan shuddered, subconsciously looked at the time and place, two o'clock in the morning, the United States.

Now that he was completely sleepy, Chen Quan managed to squeeze out his voice after a while: "Mr. Lu?"

The other party did not reply.Chen Quan sat up and said, "Mr. Lu hasn't slept yet?"

"in a meeting."

meeting?There is still a meeting in the middle of the night, Chen Quan belatedly realized that it should be broad daylight in the United States at this time, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Only five minutes."

Chen Quan didn't know what was going on with Lu Dongtang at this time, what kind of meeting Lu Dongtang was having, and whether it was important, but since Lu Dongtang said it was only 5 minutes, he wouldn't give it to Chen Quan for a second.

Chen Quan felt nervous for a moment, and unconsciously clenched the hand holding the phone.There was silence on both ends of the phone at the same time, Lu Dongtang always did this, but Chen Quan was a little abnormal.

Time ticks, seconds pass by, making people think that half a century has passed.

"Mr. Lu, next week, next week, can you come to my house for dinner?"

"..."

After Chen Quan finished speaking, he almost listened to his mobile phone as if he was deaf. He couldn't hear anything and couldn't move.It took him a long time to take down his phone and take a look, the screen was already black.

"Fuck!" Chen Quan murmured, did the man hear it, and would he come or not?

Chen Quan was very entangled. He could have given Jiang Yunying an excuse that day. In short, it was very easy to reject the invitation, but in this way, there was a bit of guilt in it.How grateful the Chen family was for Lu Dongtang's help, how much Chen Quan wanted to hide the existence of this person.Therefore, if Chen Quan insisted on vetoing the invitation of Lu Dongtang, the Chen family would definitely find it strange, and even become suspicious, asking him why.

Also after thinking about it, the most feasible way now is to let things become natural.Chen Quan believed that Lu Dongtang decided not to do anything outrageous in front of the Chen family. After all, he had promised himself that he would not reveal anything about him and the Lu family.

The banquet of the Chen family was held in the Chen family's hometown, Qingmo Village.This is somewhat different from the city people.Whenever people in the city encounter something, they often go to a certain restaurant, or book a large table in the hotel. The grade, taste, and service are not comparable to those of the rural people.The Chen family is from the countryside, so they naturally held this banquet according to the customs of the countryside.

According to a rough estimate, there are about [-] relatives who come here, and there are six tables.Jiang Yunying originally wanted to handle it herself. After all, she can cook three or four tables of New Year's dinner during the Chinese New Year. Now six tables should not be a big problem.But in the end, her sister-in-law Ma Donglan told her that it’s okay to save money in normal times, but this time it won’t work. Your family has never done anything. I think Binbin’s father and I went to help when my elder brother’s family married a wife. In the end, his family was too busy to touch the ground.When the guests come, you have to spare time to greet them, and you will be too busy.

Jiang Yunying was right when she thought about it. During the Chinese New Year, she had Chen Zhihua to help greet the guests, but now she was alone, so she must be too busy. Besides, there were important guests coming that day, so she couldn't be negligent.Jiang Yunying finally gritted her teeth, took out 3000 yuan, and hired a cook.

This cook is from Qingmoss Village, an acquaintance, and when he saw that it was the Chen family, he finally slapped him with a big hand, and only charged two thousand and five, all inclusive.The Chen family had such a big incident a while ago, it seems that there are still many caring people watching it.

On the day of the banquet at the Chen family, the Chen family got up early in the morning, and even Chen Zhihua made a special effort to tidy up and shaved neatly.The cook outside was already yelling to move the utensils and start working.

After hiring a cook, the host almost didn't need to prepare meals by himself. In this way, Jiang Yunying did feel a lot easier. She went to prepare boiling water, tea, tables and stools, snacks, etc., and yelled at her son to greet the guests.

How can Chen Hao be obedient and obedient to greet guests, this person can't sit still, one moment he was still pouring tea for this guest, and the next moment he ran to another table to eat sunflower seeds.On this day, the happiest person probably belonged to Chen Hao.Of course, his father survived a catastrophe, which is certainly something to be happy about, but what made him even more excited was that when he came back from school last night, he heard his mother say that there was a special guest coming today. His brother's big boss of the "underworld" made him very happy now, and kept yelling, why didn't you tell me earlier, I haven't prepared anything yet.

Chen Zhihua liked him, what does this have to do with you, what are you going to do?

Chen Hao tossed his hair and said, the young master must at least spray hairspray, wear a suit, and then wear sunglasses or something, maybe he will be accepted as a younger brother.

Chen Hao's nonsense was not enough, so he finally ran to his brother and pestered him and asked, "Brother, tell me a letter, what does your boss like? Tall? Short? Fat? Thin? Smart? Stupid?..."
