Nongben is passionate

Xie Xuan went back to the room and removed Meng Dongqing's "meeting gift" - it was the latest Apple mp3 player, beautiful and fashionable, and naturally expensive.

Xie Xuan just glanced at it, then threw it on the bed, and walked to the window - not long after, I saw the Meng family father and son leave, and Xie Mingyu was playing a game of tossing and catching with Fandou on the grass in front of the house .

When the ginkgo trees on the side of the mountain road lost all their leaves, the bare branches pointed to the sky, and the air began to smell the pleasant smell of burning fallen leaves, Xie Xuan's body finally recovered, and Mrs. Xie's [-]th birthday also came. Arrived under careful preparation——

On the day of the birthday banquet, the Xie mansion was busy from five o'clock before dawn. The lights were brightly lit, and the servants shuttled back and forth in an orderly manner, performing their duties. There is a small problem with the band, and it needs to be replaced temporarily. I don’t know if it’s possible, or the number of pots of marigolds placed in the banquet——Ouyang old lady is used to organizing banquets, and she gave orders one by one without being in a hurry.The three daughters-in-law arrived the day before, obediently helping the old lady Ouyang to share the burden—it's just that the second daughter-in-law followed her university professor's parents, she was a little soft and unconventional, and she really didn't have any constructive opinions on these big and small matters, and Without courage, it's okay to take care of the one-third of an acre of land in my own home, but it's a bit reluctant in this old house.The third daughter-in-law was originally a well-known star, but she was very good at being a person, and she was familiar with this kind of rich banquet. The woman who stepped into the wind and dust with one foot almost fell out with her family, and the old lady Ouyang felt a lump in her heart.Even later, the third daughter-in-law tried her best to please the mother-in-law, but she still couldn't please her, and even hugged Xie Mingyu to her side after she was born.On the contrary, Xie Xuan's mother, Han Ruoying, has the demeanor of a strong woman. She is sharp and capable, has a delicate mind, and is very good at handling major events. She is a good hand at organizing such banquets, but she is not her daughter-in-law—

In the end, it was up to the old lady Ouyang to make up her own mind. One morning, she was so hot that she took off a mink velvet shawl on her upper body, and said that the caviar that was supposed to be delivered at noon today was due to a flight delay. The time is uncertain, and I don't know if I can make it to the dinner party. If I can't make it, I will definitely have to change the dishes——

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Xie's three sons came to the study to pay respects to the old man's birthday, and then three grandsons and a granddaughter—Mr. On the style sofa, their faces were full of red, and their spirits were hale and hearty. When they finished speaking auspicious words, they would be given a big red envelope for each of them.

Although the three young grandsons were not required to prepare congratulatory gifts, Xie Xuan and the others still prepared their own gifts, which were not expensive, and the key was to let Old Master Xie see his own heart.Mrs. Xie accepted all of them with a smile on her face, and did not express any particular liking for them.

After the family's birthday celebrations, it was the juniors among the distant relatives——Xie's family was originally a large and flourishing family. Later, with social turmoil and changes in the current situation, the Xie family was scattered and became weaker and weaker after several changes. The family ancestral hall was also completely destroyed in the era when ghosts and snakes were in power, and the ties between the clansmen were very weak.After Mrs. Xie made a fortune and returned to his hometown, he gradually regained some of the excitement of the past.However, there are basically no close relatives in Mrs. Xie's line. Those who came were all collateral relatives who were far away. Many people didn't know the relationship between them. "Uncle Hong Kong" and "Uncle Hong Kong" are old and rich, but they can't think of the face of that person. They seem to be characters in legends.

Chinese people, especially the elderly, the more desolate and colder their lives are, the more they like the feeling of hustle and bustle and prosperity. Mrs. Xie is no exception. It was still very useful, and he gave out red envelopes with a smile.From time to time, I still have to pick up a few long-distance calls from the UK, the US, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. They are all Mr. Xie’s old friends, old partners, and old relationships——

At his age and wealth, living one's life is no longer just a matter of one person, one family, one family.

The family is so lively and prosperous, but there is really nothing wrong with Xie Xuan. I opened the half of "War and Peace", stared at the book, but didn't print a word in my mind. I don't know who is talking loudly downstairs. The sound often broke through the barriers and penetrated into his ears.Xie Xuan closed the book, stood by the window for a while, and went downstairs—passing through a hall filled with chatter, laughing, melon seeds being cracked, and children shouting, the bright sunshine outside suddenly rushed toward her face——

His mother, Han Ruoying, stood not far away and waved to him, "Xie Xuan, come here—"

If there were no special circumstances, Han Ruoying would always call him by his first and last name, never by his nickname.

Xie Xuan didn't understand, so he walked over obediently, only to find that his sister Xie Ya was also there, frowning with her arms folded, her face full of dissatisfaction, when she saw Xie Xuan, her frown became tighter, if she had any real eyes on Han Ruoying, "I said I won't go, and I advise you not to do such stupid things, it's not a good idea—"

Han Ruoying's delicate eyebrows twitched, and she said unhappily: "What are you talking about, kid? Your grandma should be present for such a big event today. Logically, she is married to your grandfather Mingmei. What's so shameful? To put it bluntly, Your grandma is big, but this house is small, oh, it’s bustling with flowers and flowers here, but your grandma’s side should be deserted and alone, guarding a dining table—what do people think?”

Xie Ya turned her head and curled her lips, "Anyway, I won't go, you have to go by yourself!"

Han Ruoying glared, "If I can get away, do you still want me to go?" She glared at her daughter who didn't agree with her, then turned to Xie Xuan, "San'er, you and your sister go to Huiwen Road to pick up grandma— —”

"Grandma won't come over? She's not a fool—" Shea choked, turned her head and left.

"Xie Ya!" Han Ruoying blushed with anger, but she didn't dare to scold loudly, so she had to endure it angrily, and turned to look at Xie Xuan who was still a little numb, a little powerless, "Forget it, it's okay, you go play Come on-"

Xie Xuan put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly in the sunshine——When he was a child, he didn't quite understand why he had two grandmas, and he even thought that the grandma on Huiwen Road was the same as those "three grandmas" and "Shipu grandmas". "It's the same with oblique relatives like "Xincun Little Grandma". Adults will never explain the relationship to children, but children also have the benefits of children-others never avoid children when they gossip in private. He didn't understand anything—Xie Xuan gradually understood that the grandma on Huiwen Road was his father's mother.

Grandma was born in a small family, and grandpa and grandpa were a combination of parents' order and matchmaker's words. After marriage, there was no such thing as Qinse and honey, but they were also harmonious. At that time, people seldom talked about feelings. Marriage was actually a companionship. Live a simple and plain life.I had a father in the second year of marriage.But grandpa is not an ordinary person, he has studied, yearns for the outside world, and doesn't have much love for grandma, who is a bit dull by nature. Grandpa went out to work hard when his father was just one month old - there was news before, but maybe later Some accident happened, and the contact with the family was cut off. Grandpa went to Guangzhou, then to Hong Kong, and then traveled across the ocean to the United States, where he slowly created his initial foundation. During this period, grandpa married again. The banker's daughter, the old lady Ouyang, with the help of his new father-in-law, his business grew bigger and bigger, and eventually became a big boss.

After domestic relations eased, grandpa immediately started to contact his family—at that time, my father graduated from high school, failed to go to university, worked in a winery, and fell in love with his mother who was a salesperson in a department store—

After Hong Kong returned to the motherland, my grandfather slowly turned his career to the mainland. He went home to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival.Grandpa is naturally grateful and guilty to grandma, but it's a pity that grandma treats him very coldly——

No matter how intricate and pathetic the feelings of the older generation are, they are still scratching the surface for fifteen or sixteen-year-olds.

Mrs. Xie was still thinking about his old wife. When he was eating birthday noodles in the afternoon, he suddenly asked Ah He, who was always by his side to take care of daily chores, "Have you sent them to Huiwen Road?"

At that time, everyone at the table was stunned, and the old lady Ouyang's face was also a little ugly.

The seasoned Ah He immediately answered, "I'm about to send it over—"

Mrs. Xie nodded, "Fry a plate of noodles separately. Instead of celery, put small greens and bean sprouts, and put more fragrant dried pork. Then pack some snacks, don't eat big fish and big meat."

Ah He repeatedly responded, and went to order the kitchen in person.

Xie Xuan lowered his eyelids, then raised his head, his face was as obedient and calm as ever, "Grandpa, can I send it to grandma?"

Mrs. Xie looked at him in surprise, and finally nodded, "That's fine, your grandma hasn't seen you for a long time—" He said with a chopstick of birthday noodles in Xie Xuan's bowl, "No hurry, let's eat the chopsticks first Grandpa’s birthday noodles will be healthy and healthy from now on—”

Xie Xuan said obediently, "Thank you, Grandpa."

The unhappiness on the face of the old lady Ouyang seemed to have never appeared before, and she picked up the serving chopsticks and put a chopsticks of birthday noodles into the rice bowls of Xie Hui, Xie Mingyu, and Xie Ya respectively, "Come, eat your grandfather's birthday noodles, Everyone will have great prospects in the future—”

The table was lively again.
