In the early morning of the next day, Xu Ning received a call from Lu Kang, telling her that there was a reunion of junior high school classmates in Yangzhuang today.
Of course, this party did not bring any objects or children. It was also hosted by Lu Kang and Yang Bo. I went there today and I haven’t seen each other for more than 20 years. If we gather together to have a good chat and eat a meal, it would be outrageous to bring the children. Of course, the food is also invited to the mobile restaurant in town. Although the mobile restaurant sounds decent as it is to go to the restaurant, the chef of the mobile restaurant is not worse than the physical store. On the contrary, the craftsmanship is even better, otherwise people will not invite you. This focuses on a word-of-mouth issue.
The food is paid by the two of them. All kinds of fresh dishes are bought at the market in the mobile restaurant early in the morning, and then they will pay the bill together before leaving. Xu Ning's parents plan to finish the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the second day, there will be another mobile banquet in the village. After all, leaving Xiangshan Village this time, it will be very difficult to come back again. There are no relatives in the village. Even if there are relatives who have not shown the Wufu, the feelings are relatively weak. On the contrary, it’s not as good as the close relationship between the same village, because the Xu family had a difficult life back then. Others bite their lips and refused to pick up the three of Chunhua mother and son. The old lady didn’t look down on those people of the same race. It's because people of the same clan didn't go to the imperial capital to catch the autumn wind, otherwise the old lady could not figure out how to rush these people, so it's already a shame to have a banquet with flowing water in the village.
After breakfast, Xu Ning went back to the room and went into the space under the gaze of Brother Zheng. From the closet inside, he searched for the clothes to be worn for today’s classmate meeting. Naturally, there are casual clothes, many dresses, and cheongsam. Many, according to the actual situation today, she would naturally not dress up like attending a business cocktail party. After all, if she appeared in the class reunion brightly, and other classmates would only wear that kind of relatively decent clothes. , I don’t know how to look at the occasion, but I rummaged for a while, and finally put on a lake-blue cheongsam. The clothes are too simple, the others are very luxurious, and there are only a few usual ones. Wear it twice at home, although it has been washed twice, it is decent enough.
After I came out, I sat in front of the mirror and put on a light makeup, and lipstick also poured in, and my long black hair was pulled back into a simple but refreshing ball head, which instantly reduced my age, and the whole person seemed to be relieved from the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. The young girl in Qingxiang coming slowly.
Xu Ning picked up the knitted tassel shawl from the bed, put it on his shoulder, turned it around in front of Xie Zheng, and smiled brightly: "Does it look good?"
If it weren't for her to wear lipstick, Xie Zheng would definitely get in and kiss her.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he raised his hand and pulled him into his arms, with the palm of her hand lingering on her slender waist and stroking it twice, "It looks good, Ningning looks the best."
"The mouth is really sweet." Xu Ning bowed his eyebrows, bowed his head and kissed Xie Zheng's lips, and smiled: "The lipstick produced by our company does not fade."
Hearing these words, Xie Zheng's eyes instantly turned hot, pressing the palm of Xu Ning's back with a slight force, pulling the person onto his lap and sitting down, clasping her back of the head, and then bowed his head and kissed deeply.
Xu Ning felt that she was a wolf into the mouth of a tiger. The feeling was just because she was worried that her lipstick would lose its color.
The domineering tongue pried open her pink lips, went deep into it and danced with her lips and tongue wantonly, groaning intolerable gasps, making Xie Zheng's crotch tighten, but it also loosened her when there was movement in the kitchen next door. open.
"I went there today, but be careful, don't let other men touch you." Brother Zheng swept across her lips, the lipstick smell was a little sweet, but now, looking at it, it is still blazing red lips. It really doesn't fade.
"Hey, it's difficult for a strong man. I haven't seen each other for many years, and I can't shake hands?" Xu Ning's slender fingertips circled her husband's slightly open neckline, her eyes charming as a monster.
Brother Zheng picked up his starry eyes, and said with a smile, "Look up the bar, right?"
Xu Ning grinned and swiped the tip of her tongue temptingly on her red lips, "I just lifted the bar. Would you like to punish me at night, Brother Zheng?"
While talking, she slowly slid her fingers down, her index finger hooked his belt, and the thumb was pressed down, very lightly, but she heard the man’s gasping sound, which made her unable to hold herself up. She straightened her chest up. He took a sip from his throat.
"Punish!" The bed outside couldn't hold it, but it didn't matter in the space. She was punished to death tonight, "Let's go, let you go there."
"good!"
Xu Rui drove the van to the ancestral grave. Xie Zheng borrowed a bicycle and took his wife to Yangzhuang.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Yangzhuang Village, a black car stopped in front of them after honking its whistle, and then the co-drive window rolled down. Zhang Mengprobe looked at the two with a smile.
"It's so sweet, it's actually cycling."
"The borrowed van let Xu Rui drive away." Xu Ning listened to Xie Zheng's one leg on the ground before jumping from the back seat, "Brother Zheng, go back first. In the afternoon, I will ask Lu Kang to send me back, so don't come. Picked me up."
"Okay, then I'll go home." After telling Xu Ning to drink less, Xie Zheng returned on his bicycle.
Open the car door and sit in the back seat. From here to Yang Bo's home is the distance from the start. It doesn't matter to Xu Ning what it is.
Yang Bo’s house is indeed very big, but he can’t fit four or five big round tables in the house. He eats in the courtyard at noon. At this time, the courtyard is also set up with a tent, the material is black plastic fishing net, which can cover the dead leaves and dots. Sunshine is also good.
Several cars had been parked in front of Yang Bo's house at this time. They were all ordinary economic cars. Zhang Meng's husband was a car with a price of 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, but he did not come here today.
Several people in the courtyard saw another car coming. Yang Bo led a few people out. Seeing that it was Lu Kang and the three of them, he hurriedly invited them in happily.
"Oh, Lu Kang is so lucky. He actually brought two big beauties here. This driver is doing his duty." Someone teased Lu Kang.
"Envy?" Lu Kang patted the other person on the shoulder, "I haven't seen each other for so many years, where can I be taller now?"
"If you say anything is high, it's not high. I can't compare with you. Just do a small business in our city and support the family."
"Your business is not small anymore, but it is much better than our wage earners, so be content."
"It's quite content, eating and drinking, having children and daughters, everything is enough."
A man with silver hair on his head saw Xu Ning and Zhang Meng, "Who would have imagined that the big beauties who swept our school back then have actually reached this height."
"Really, Boss Xu, does your unit still recruit people? Can I look at the door?"
"You go and show me the gate, you are not yielding?" Xu Ning sat down on a chair in the courtyard, looked around, and saw a familiar person, Lu Xuejiao.
Lu Xuejiao and Xu Ning are the same age, but their bodies are already blessed. At this moment, sitting with a few women in her village, two or three circles of flesh are piled up in her lower abdomen, her skin is also dull yellow, spotted, her eyes are diffident, and her eyes are swollen. It might be because I have dyed my hair before. Although it looks good at this time, it gives people a dry feeling.
I found Xu Ning's gaze there, and after looking at her, he moved away unnaturally.
"Hey, you are Xu Ning, right?" A woman with a round figure came in, and after greeting everyone, she came to Xu Ning to sit down, "It's been a long time since you have seen this, you are actually getting more and more beautiful."
Xu Ning was surprised when he saw the incoming person, "Xiaodie?"
"It's me." Lu Xiaodie nodded, "You are amazing, you are really beautiful since childhood, you, look at me, since the birth of two children, the whole person is getting old soon."
Zhang Meng poured a cup of tea for Lu Xiaodie next to him, "You don't know how to maintain it. Xu Ning is already three children, and he hasn't seen him old."
"Three?" Lu Xiaodie was also happy for Xu Ning. "Boys and girls?"
"My son is in the sixth grade this year, and the two young ones are also in elementary school. How about you?"
"I must have been married before you. My eldest daughter is in junior high school, and the younger daughter is still in kindergarten." Lu Xiaodie sighed softly, "This day will pass soon, and I will be old without knowing it. When you suddenly feel panicked, won't you be old?"
"Do you think I'm a fairy?" Xu Ning couldn't help. "I also rely on cosmetics for maintenance. You think Zhang Meng is also young? Later you will send the address to my mobile phone, and I will give it to you when I return to the capital. Send a set of cosmetics to improve your skin's foundation."
"I have it at home!" Lu Xiaodie is not a man who takes advantage of others.
Zhang Meng patted Lu Xiaodie’s hand on the table, "Xu Ning is a cosmetics business. Since I told you to give it to you, don’t refuse. Others know that she wants to give away free cosmetics, so I’m not so happy and crazy. You use it. After finishing this set, the skin can also be greatly improved, and it shouldn’t be a problem for those who are ten or eight years younger."
"Really?" Lu Xiaodie looked at the two of them hopingly, and then took a sip of tea. "You two, my husband and I have been married for more than ten years and gave birth to two daughters. Their family also has something for me. Opinion, I used to work in the county cultural and industrial troupe. Later, my eldest daughter went to school and couldn’t take care of it. So I quit my job and became a housewife at home. Little, I saw that she was a girl again before. Although my in-laws didn’t say it face-to-face, she said secretly that I was not good enough. Hey... the days are really hard."
The two of them can only listen to this kind of thing. Is it possible that Lu Xiaodie and her husband cannot be divorced without thinking? She herself didn't have this thought. As an old classmate who wasn't so close, how could she instill that kind of thought inadvertently.
"When your daughter grows up, you will be very blessed." Xu Ning said with relief: "In the future, your children will be able to provide for the elderly. At least your daughter will not need to prepare a house for them when you marry in the future. What's more not good?"
"That is, I also hope to have another daughter." Zhang Meng agreed.
After being dispelled by the two in this way, Lu Xiaodie felt much better in her heart.
It’s also said that her in-laws don’t like granddaughters, but as a mother, she likes them. Both children are well-behaved and sensible. Of course, the husband wants a son in his heart, but he never talked about it, even when the little daughter was born. Although the husband was a little silent at the time, he didn’t say anything bad. She took care of her very much during the confinement period. She might have felt a little guilty in her heart before, but in the past two years she has also been more comfortable. The eldest daughter’s academic performance is very good. There will surely be promising in the future.
The junior high school classmates came in one after another. Soon dozens of people gathered in the courtyard, both men and women. They were all rushing to the fourth, but their mental outlook was different.
Among them, there are also people who mix with Xu Ning in shopping malls, and a few who enter government agencies after graduating from university. Most of them are part-time jobs and farming at home, so Xu Ning is not happy to attend this kind of class gathering for too long. , Getting together is nothing more than a variety of comparisons, or to praise them, it's boring.
It was because of Lu Kang's face that Xu Ning came to walk for a while. She didn't care how others thought of her, and she couldn't just get up and leave in this kind of situation.
There were a lot of people sitting inside and outside the house. Everyone gathered in twos and threes for tea and chat, but in such a short time, they had their own small circle. Xu Ning is Zhang Meng, Lu Xiaodie, and Lu Kang. Sitting here too, Yang Bo, as the main initiator, spent most of the time talking around, but he was so busy as a spinning top, but he didn't see anyone left out.
Xu Ning always felt that a few eyes were always on her, and occasionally looked lightly at Lu Xuejiao.
After more than 20 years, Xu Ning can't remember much of those things, but she still doesn't want to talk to those people.
Lu Xiaodie followed Xu Ning's sight, saw the winking eyes of Lu Xuejiao and several people over there, and turned to her and said, "Isn't she married a man with very good conditions back then..."
"The conditions are very good?" Zhang Meng was speechless. He only had a little money at home, so how could people with poor personal conditions be called very good.
"I'm talking about good conditions at home." Lu Xiaodie chuckled. "The man she married was also very rich. At that time, there were not many motorcycles at home."
"All right, you go on."
"Later, she gave birth to three daughters in succession. Her in-laws were not happy, and she made troubles with her every day. She was not a person who could swallow her voice. After a long time, the two divorced. The three daughters did not have one in the husband's family, and they all gave them to her. She is still living in her family’s home. This stay is ten years ago. A few years ago, her parents were gone. She gave her the old house before her death. Her brothers and sisters were uncomfortable. I rarely interact with her, and it's a bitter life."
"I really couldn't see it when I was young. When I think about junior high school, she was so awe-inspiring. She was in the Lira gang all day long. The Seven Fairies in the sky can mix to this point. It's also a skill." Zhang Meng said to Lu Xuejiao. Several people didn't have a good impression at all. Even after more than 20 years had passed, they were still unwilling to touch them, so they didn't say anything after entering the door, and didn't even say hello.
Lu Kang sneered beside him, did not hold back, the stalk of Seven Fairies hasn't passed yet?
How shameless it was back then, how embarrassing it is now, a properly dark history.
A cigarette popped out and lit, Lu Kang took a deep breath, "You three didn't join, right?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Zhang Meng rolled his eyes at him.
"Fortunately not, otherwise I don't know how to look at you in the future."
Xu Ning didn't talk to him. He listened casually to the chat of a few people around him, and saw that on another table, a few men and women were surrounded by a man in a black suit with an arrogant man in his eyes.
She had such a face in her mind, but she couldn't remember the other person's name.
"That's Ma Dachun, and it's pretty good now. There are villa cars that make sense for water."
Xu Ning nodded. Lu Xiaodie is very familiar with the things about these classmates at home, and may also go home often and hear more news.
At the lunch table, Xu Ning drank two glasses of beer. She didn't like to drink very much. In the past, she used to drink red wine or juice at social gatherings. Of course, most of them were juice, and red wine was rarely touched.
"Xu Ning, you are still as beautiful as when you were studying. We are classmates. Although you may be unfamiliar with me, it may be fate to meet again. Let's go one." Ma Dachun at the same table raised the glass in his hand. It's white wine, Xu Ning's side is beer.
He picked up the wine glass and touched the other party. Xu Ning put down the wine glass with a light sip. The other party directly poured the white wine from the small wine cup with his head upside down and gestured with a grin, meaning that I was dry.
"Oh, our beautiful Xu Damei is really reserved. She gave her a bite of face. That's beer." Ma Dachun looked at her strangely.
This woman is really beautiful, especially the plump **** under the cheongsam, which makes people feel itchy.
In recent years, Ma Dachun has really made a fortune. He has made a lot of money. He has bought villas in several places in the country. He was almost ten years old. Later, he disliked the other party's lack of culture, temperament, taste, etc., and divorced the other party. The next few did not marry at all. After breaking up, he gave the other party a sum of money for bulk goods. What he has is money. .
It’s just that for Xu Ning, he only dared to think about it in his heart, but he didn’t dare to do it. Xu Ning’s identity had been exploded in the group for a long time, and his husband was an army general. He couldn’t afford to die. .
Being able to mix to the present point, Ma Dachun is naturally not a fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd.
Xu Ning's intuition was very keen, and he looked at Ma Dachun opposite with a smile. Although he was smiling, his sight calmed Ma Dachun's mind a little bit.
Lu Kang felt bitter in his heart. After working with Xu Ning for so many years, he couldn't be more clear about the boss's temper. Don't look at the smile now, I'm afraid the cold wind is already roaring in his heart.
This Ma Dachun has water in his mind, and he has heard of Lu Kang's comments. Could it be that in Ma Dachun's heart, Xu Ning is also that kind of ordinary casual woman? Saying a couple of jokes, you think you are humorous?
"Come and eat some food, don't get cold later." Lu Kang hurriedly greeted them.
Xu Ning retracted his gaze and stared at Lu Kang for three seconds. When he saw that the other party blinked at her, Xu Ning picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes again.
"Dachun, don't keep your mouth open when you drink. Xu Ning doesn't drink much." Lu Kang was afraid to pat Ma Dachun on the shoulder.
Ma Dachun’s back is a little sweaty, he has made a lot of money these years, and women often change, and the people around him are also holding him, which really makes him a little fluttering. He was looked at by Xu Ning’s eyes just now. , But there was nothing glamorous in his heart, instead he felt that the whole person was suppressed by that line of sight, and his back felt a little chilly.
"Mr. Xu is the big boss, isn't he unpaid?" Yang Bo asked curiously while eating the food.
"...Even if she is socializing, how many would you dare to persuade you to drink?" Lu Kang patted Yang Bo's beer belly, "and I attended most of the commercial cocktail parties. Champagne juice or cocktails, occasionally a drink of red wine, but very little."
"This boss in your family is simply a clear stream." Yang Bo immediately reacted, "Then you are always socializing, why is your body better than me?"
"Exercise, I practice every morning."
"..." Yang Bo felt that the relationship between himself and Lu Kang, his friend, seemed unsustainable.
After three rounds of drinking, the people at Lu Xuejiao's table murmured, and then they saw two women getting up and coming to Xu Ning with beer glasses.
"Xu Ning, do you remember us?" The one who spoke was a thin woman wearing a white shirt and blue flared jeans.
Xu Ning looked at the two and nodded, a kind of fluttering, "Of course I remember."
Lu Qinqin and Lu Yunfang, who were good classmates with her back then, changed their faces immediately because of Lu Xuejiao's relationship.
"What? I haven't seen you for many years. Come and meet you." Lu Qinqin reached out and touched the wine glass in Xu Ning's hand. Lu Yunfang followed closely behind, and the two men raised their heads and took the beer. After drinking it all, many of the surrounding students clapped their hands in applause, shouting "freshness" and "arrogance" and so on.
Xu Ning didn't do what they did, just took a sip and then let it go.
It’s not that Xu Ning really doesn’t give face and doesn’t look at her face. Not to mention it’s just class gatherings, or important commercial gatherings. She hardly touches alcohol, but there is only tea, white wine and beer, not even a bottle of juice. There is no way.
Someone started to mumble, saying that Xu Ning didn't give any face to him.
A woman at one of the tables smiled and said, "Why do people give you face? Only those who stand at the same height have face. Why do you let Xu Ning give us face? A junior high school classmate more than 20 years ago? Say no The sentence of giving us face is a joke in itself. She is the president of a large group, worth hundreds of millions, or the wife of an army general. If she gives us face, what identity do we have?"
Everyone present knew Xu Ning's identity, but they pulled a fig leaf to cover up the truth they knew.
Now being dismantled on the spot, that kind of embarrassment and embarrassment almost made this classmate society unsustainable.
face? Ridiculous face.
You don’t face yourself, face others, and want others to give you face. Do you see the beggars on the street give the right face?
Of course, although this is a metaphor, compared to Xu Ning's worth, they are not as good as a beggar, and there is no face between people who are too far apart.
Even a wealthy person like Ma Dachun in their eyes doesn't want to save face. Why are they? Thick-skinned?
"Dachun, what aquatic products are in your store?" Yang Bo asked.
"What do you want? There are almost all domestic ones, and many foreign ones. Of course, Australian lobsters are available, but not many. They were all ordered away before, and there are only two boxes left. Would Mr. Xu want it? "
Looking at Ma Dachun's flexing and stretching look, Xu Ning admired this somewhat impressed old classmate.
"Big boxes and small boxes?"
"Sixty big box."
"Then I want all the two boxes, is there anything else?"
"Do you want sea cucumber and abalone?"
"...I don't like this very much, Zhang Meng, do you like it?"
"It's not bad, you gave it to me, I will definitely eat it." Zhang Meng said with a smile.
"Then bring a box, leave a few for Zhang Meng, and let Xiaodie take the rest."
"Huh?" Lu Xiaodie looked at Xu Ning in surprise, "You don't need to give it to me, such an expensive thing."
"Go back and make up!" Zhang Meng said to Lu Xiaodie.
Ma Dachun got up and went outside to make a phone call, presumably to ask people in the store to bring things here.
At about 3:30 in the afternoon, a small truck came to Yang Bo's door, Ma Dachun saw it, got up and walked over.
People were asked to move those incubators to the yard, and Ma Dachun greeted Xu Ning, "Xu Ning, take a look."
She got up and walked over, and many people also gathered.
Ma Dachun opened a large incubator. Inside were huge red lobsters, with faint golden claws. Each one was more than a catty in size, so the price was naturally not cheap.
"The quality of this lobster is very good." Yang Bo picked up one and said to Lu Kang.
Lu Kang nodded, "Indeed, I thought Dachun was a profiteer, but I didn't expect it to be a real business."
Ma Dachun laughed and said: "I despise me, right? I have been working on this water for thirteen or four years. If it is not sincere, how can I achieve the current scale."
"In addition, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. We are also the first meeting of junior high school classmates in more than 20 years. I also brought two more boxes of sea prawns to share."
Xu Ning asked Yang Bo to find some sturdier plastic bags. Each bag contained two lobsters and abalones and sea cucumbers. Of course, there were more than one hundred abalones and sea cucumbers in a box. Today, nearly forty people came, everyone It can only be divided into two, and she won't know who will eat it when she goes back, and she doesn't care.
Xu Ning took some of the rest, and they were divided between Zhang Meng and Lu Xiaodie, and Lu Kang and Yang Bo also left two, which was considered a relief at home.
The salary of the two of them is enough to afford it outside, and they don't care about it.
After the division, everyone broke up and went home. Lu Kang wanted to send Zhang Meng and Xu Ning away, and also took two classmates from neighboring villages along the way.
First sent Xu Ning to the door, Lu Kang asked from the car window: "Are you going back the day after tomorrow?"
"Probably, it doesn't matter when I go back, you can't delay work." Xu Ning smiled.
Lu Kang nodded in a dumbfounded manner, "Yes, yes, the boss has ordered that. I naturally can't be late. I will leave first."
"Okay, slow down the road, Zhang Meng also pay more attention."
Watching the car leave, Xu Ning returned home with two big bags.
The father and son were sitting on the kang playing cards. Just now they heard the movement of Xu Ning behind the house. At this time, the twins were lying on the window and looking out.
Xu Ning saw the two little guys, waved at them, and lifted his feet into the house.
"How is it?" Xie Zheng asked when she saw her.
"That's it, it doesn't mean much. I don't really like gatherings of this nature." Xu Ning stood on the edge of the tukang, holding her little daughter in her arms, "Mom is not at home?"
"Well, the ancestral tomb can be repaired this afternoon, and Mom will follow it this afternoon."
"I brought back ten Australian lobsters and cooked them for lunch tomorrow."
"Where did you buy it?"
"There was a junior high school classmate who was interested in doing water, so he bought some directly, divided the points and brought them back."
Lu Xiaodie's husband is a civil servant in the county government. The company is not high, but it is stable.
He and his wife met in free love, and the relationship after marriage was pretty good. The only regret was that he didn't have a son under his knees. Every time he saw him, his parents would have to say a few grandsons. Can the other one be a son? What if it's still a daughter?
Moreover, the two daughters are really well-behaved and sensible. Even if he likes his son any more, he can’t say that he doesn’t have two daughters in his heart. It is his own birth and can’t be cruel, and he still likes his wife and knows her. At that time, Lu Xiaodie was beautiful and slender, with a good voice that made him admire, and then he chased the person back and married him with all his heart.
"I'm back." Lu Xiaodie was sent back by Yang Bo. Before getting off the car, she greeted the three people in the car and entered the house.
When their little daughter heard her mother's voice, she ran out of the house and plunged into her mother's arms.
"Mom is back." The little girl is delicate and soft, and looks very similar to Lu Xiaodie. The eldest daughter is a blend of the looks of the husband and wife, not as refined as the little one, but she looks pretty.
Li Qiuhang glanced at his wife from the Kang room, and saw that she put an incubator on the pan, and asked: "I went out to the classmates reunion, and brought something back?"
"Well, the aquatic products bought by my old classmates were divided one by one. I had a good relationship with her at that time, so I divided a little bit more." Lu Xiaodie opened the incubator. Inside were a huge lobster and a dozen sea cucumbers and ten. A few abalones, and there are a lot of sea prawns below, "Tomorrow, Mid-Autumn Festival, just made it."
"So much?" Li Qiuhang was also stunned, "This lobster is more than a hundred a catty."
Lu Xiaodie was also taken aback, "So expensive?"
"What do you think." He gave his wife a funny look, "Your classmate is doing very well."
"Well, it's pretty good."
Lu Xiaodie’s father passed away with a cerebral hemorrhage many years ago, and there is only one elderly mother left. They will come back to spend with the elderly almost every Mid-Autumn Festival. Her husband’s family has two sons and one daughter. Li Qiuhang is the youngest, so it doesn’t take too long. Accompanied by my in-laws, I have stayed at my in-laws' house during the Chinese New Year, so most of the Mid-Autumn Festival came to Xiaodie's house.
"Give two to Xiao Fei's house. Let's make two at noon tomorrow, and take the remaining two to parents the day after tomorrow, and put them in the refrigerator afterwards. Let's make them when you treat them to dinner."
"Listen to you." Li Qiuhang didn't have any comments, and his wife was assigned quite well.
"As for the sea cucumber and abalone, please send this to your parents."
"Don't, let's leave it to eat." Li Qiuhang rubbed the little daughter's head. "It was also in Xiaowei's mouth when it was given to parents. It's better to leave it to our girl."
Lu Xiaodie was also a little surprised, but she was slightly moved in her heart, "Why is it so good today?"
"It's like there is something at home, I just send it to my parents." Li Qiuhang was a little upset, his wife was very good, but he still wanted a son, but he wouldn't do anything to want a son. Extraordinary things.
Lu Xiaodie pursed his lips and smiled, without saying anything.
She never thinks anything wrong with her daughter. Seeing Xu Ning and Zhang Meng today, this idea is even stronger.
Isn't Lu Kang who was so good in school at the time working for Xu Ning now?
Zhang Meng also set up a studio and became the boss himself, and his development is very good.
Women also have a foothold in this society, no worse than men.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xu family spent time in Xiangshan Village. As for the Imperial Capital, it would be nice for the elderly from the two families to get together and have a fun. After all, they came back to repair the ancestral tomb, not to do other things.
This morning, Xu Jianjun and his wife took Xu Rui, packed some incense candles and waited to go to the ancestral grave. The Mid-Autumn Festival was regarded as a formal worship, and Xu Ning was preparing meals for today's noon at home.
There are only a few people in the family, and there is no need to deal with it, Xie Zheng also came to help.
As for Xie Yang, he took his younger brother and sister to play poker or glass beads. The glass beads were taught by the villagers to play with the three of them. He is currently addicted.
Because he was too tired yesterday, and because he had to prepare meals today, he didn't toss his wife. He thought about drinking a little wine while eating dumplings tonight. That was the atmosphere.
"Aunt Ning." A little girl with a pair of pony tails walked in outside. It was Uncle Bao Shuan's granddaughter Cui Cui.
"Cui Cui is here?" Xu Ning heard the sound and saw the little girl handing over a white plastic bag with a bag of homemade sausage.
"Grandma asked me to bring it here."
Xu Ning took it and led Cuicui into the house, "Brother Zheng, put some prawns for the child."
Xie Zheng responded and found a plastic bag containing thirty or forty large sea prawns, put another plastic bag, and handed it to Xu Cuicui.
"Cui Cui, take this back. Auntie will put some fruits back for you." Xu Ning went into the house and found a large-capacity handbag with a lot of fruits in it. After he came out, he greeted Xie Yang, "Yang Yang, help Cui Cui delivered the things to your grandpa Baoshuan's house."
"Come here." Xie Yang is already 1.5 meters tall at this time. He will go to junior high school next year and then go to high school. He can continue to move up, but according to the heights of Xie Zheng and Xu Ning, none of the three children in the family can Short.
The twins naturally followed, and Xu Ning came back here to continue to work.
The lunch meal was very rich. Xu Ning took out the lobster meat, chopped it into mashed meat and added other ingredients, and then fried the meatballs in the pot. Lobster is often eaten at home, but it is not a rare thing.
This time, the sea prawns were made into spicy prawns. When I started to cook them, the pungent and spicy taste directly threw out Brother Zheng. When I made my own spicy dishes, there was a range hood. You can use it here. The front and rear windows were open, and the people who smelled irritating burst into tears.
The old village chief's house, seeing Cui Cui come back with Xie Yang and three people, smiled and greeted them to enter the house.
"Why did the three of you follow? Ouch, girl Cui Cui, I asked you to send sausages to Aunt Ning, but you brought back so many things."
"Aunt Ning gave it to me, I didn't want it!" Cui Cui dared to say hurriedly, and then handed the bag of fresh shrimps to her grandma.
The village chief’s wife took a look, what a big shrimp, how much does it cost?
Xie Yang brought things, said hello to the old village chief's family, and led his younger brothers and sisters away.
"His father, take a look!" he handed the bag of fresh shrimps up, "Ningning's child is still real."
"It's not small, let's make it for the holidays today." The old village chief said with his hands behind his back.
"Eat today? It’s better to keep it for the New Year. I put it in the freezer of the supply and marketing cooperative." How willing, they are reluctant to buy such a large shrimp to eat all year round, and they don’t even dare to think about it. There are dozens of bags in this bag. what.
"It's not the same for the New Year and the holidays, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a big festival."
Seeing this, the old woman didn't say anything, so she found a stainless steel basin and started to clean up the shrimps.
As a child, Cui Cui doesn’t need her for cooking at home. Grandma and mother can handle it. Fortunately, my aunt won’t come today, otherwise my cousin will eat everything at home, which happens every time I come. , My brother has to stand aside.
"Mom, where are my dad and my brother?"
"In the supply and marketing cooperative."
Cui Cui took out an apple from the paper bag and ate it to the supply and marketing agency.
Xu Jianjun and his wife and Xu Rui came back less than ten o'clock, when Xu Ning was preparing to put the carp in the pot.
After that, Xu Jianjun greeted Xie Zheng to drink tea on the kang, and Xu Rui stayed in the kitchen to help her sister cook. His craftsmanship was very good and he could do everything.
"How is the packing over there?" Xu Ning asked.
Xu Rui smiled and said, "It's natural to repair it very well. It is made of marble, and the tombstone is also very particular."
The two of them didn't have a good impression of the Xu family's ancestors. The closer they got to their grandma, the less they liked the Xu family's deceased elders.
Grandma gave birth to five children, but now there is only one left. The uncle and the second uncle were dedicated to the revolution. It’s nothing to say, but the aunt was tortured to death by the two old people. The mountain village has hardly been affected by the war, and starvation is really not going to happen. There are mountains and waters around, even if the meal is muddy, it can be eaten, but it is stunned by the grind to starve to death, how cruel it is.
For other children, grandma has no guilt, but the aunt who died at just the right age, grandma always has lumps and obsessions in her heart.
"I don't feel the person lying in it. When I kneel over there with my parents, I feel like a stranger. My parents have the same idea as me."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Ning glared at her younger brother. "Grandma said that the old lady was very fond of our dad. Dad later became estranged from there."
"I heard what my mom said, the approach is really extreme." Xu Rui said.
"People in that era were very patriarchal. Not having a son seemed to be a spine-stabbing thing. It was to cut off children and grandchildren. Although ignorant, it was also the status quo of the big society."
But the contempt for human life, but it makes people bone-chilling.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Ning received a call from Lu Kang, telling her that there was a reunion of junior high school classmates in Yangzhuang today.
Of course, this party did not bring any objects or children. It was also hosted by Lu Kang and Yang Bo. I went there today and I haven’t seen each other for more than 20 years. If we gather together to have a good chat and eat a meal, it would be outrageous to bring the children. Of course, the food is also invited to the mobile restaurant in town. Although the mobile restaurant sounds decent as it is to go to the restaurant, the chef of the mobile restaurant is not worse than the physical store. On the contrary, the craftsmanship is even better, otherwise people will not invite you. This focuses on a word-of-mouth issue.
The food is paid by the two of them. All kinds of fresh dishes are bought at the market in the mobile restaurant early in the morning, and then they will pay the bill together before leaving. Xu Ning's parents plan to finish the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the second day, there will be another mobile banquet in the village. After all, leaving Xiangshan Village this time, it will be very difficult to come back again. There are no relatives in the village. Even if there are relatives who have not shown the Wufu, the feelings are relatively weak. On the contrary, it’s not as good as the close relationship between the same village, because the Xu family had a difficult life back then. Others bite their lips and refused to pick up the three of Chunhua mother and son. The old lady didn’t look down on those people of the same race. It's because people of the same clan didn't go to the imperial capital to catch the autumn wind, otherwise the old lady could not figure out how to rush these people, so it's already a shame to have a banquet with flowing water in the village.
After breakfast, Xu Ning went back to the room and went into the space under the gaze of Brother Zheng. From the closet inside, he searched for the clothes to be worn for today’s classmate meeting. Naturally, there are casual clothes, many dresses, and cheongsam. Many, according to the actual situation today, she would naturally not dress up like attending a business cocktail party. After all, if she appeared in the class reunion brightly, and other classmates would only wear that kind of relatively decent clothes. , I don’t know how to look at the occasion, but I rummaged for a while, and finally put on a lake-blue cheongsam. The clothes are too simple, the others are very luxurious, and there are only a few usual ones. Wear it twice at home, although it has been washed twice, it is decent enough.
After I came out, I sat in front of the mirror and put on a light makeup, and lipstick also poured in, and my long black hair was pulled back into a simple but refreshing ball head, which instantly reduced my age, and the whole person seemed to be relieved from the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. The young girl in Qingxiang coming slowly.
Xu Ning picked up the knitted tassel shawl from the bed, put it on his shoulder, turned it around in front of Xie Zheng, and smiled brightly: "Does it look good?"
If it weren't for her to wear lipstick, Xie Zheng would definitely get in and kiss her.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he raised his hand and pulled him into his arms, with the palm of her hand lingering on her slender waist and stroking it twice, "It looks good, Ningning looks the best."
"The mouth is really sweet." Xu Ning bowed his eyebrows, bowed his head and kissed Xie Zheng's lips, and smiled: "The lipstick produced by our company does not fade."
Hearing these words, Xie Zheng's eyes instantly turned hot, pressing the palm of Xu Ning's back with a slight force, pulling the person onto his lap and sitting down, clasping her back of the head, and then bowed his head and kissed deeply.
Xu Ning felt that she was a wolf into the mouth of a tiger. The feeling was just because she was worried that her lipstick would lose its color.
The domineering tongue pried open her pink lips, went deep into it and danced with her lips and tongue wantonly, groaning intolerable gasps, making Xie Zheng's crotch tighten, but it also loosened her when there was movement in the kitchen next door. open.
"I went there today, but be careful, don't let other men touch you." Brother Zheng swept across her lips, the lipstick smell was a little sweet, but now, looking at it, it is still blazing red lips. It really doesn't fade.
"Hey, it's difficult for a strong man. I haven't seen each other for many years, and I can't shake hands?" Xu Ning's slender fingertips circled her husband's slightly open neckline, her eyes charming as a monster.
Brother Zheng picked up his starry eyes, and said with a smile, "Look up the bar, right?"
Xu Ning grinned and swiped the tip of her tongue temptingly on her red lips, "I just lifted the bar. Would you like to punish me at night, Brother Zheng?"
While talking, she slowly slid her fingers down, her index finger hooked his belt, and the thumb was pressed down, very lightly, but she heard the man’s gasping sound, which made her unable to hold herself up. She straightened her chest up. He took a sip from his throat.
"Punish!" The bed outside couldn't hold it, but it didn't matter in the space. She was punished to death tonight, "Let's go, let you go there."
"good!"
Xu Rui drove the van to the ancestral grave. Xie Zheng borrowed a bicycle and took his wife to Yangzhuang.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Yangzhuang Village, a black car stopped in front of them after honking its whistle, and then the co-drive window rolled down. Zhang Mengprobe looked at the two with a smile.
"It's so sweet, it's actually cycling."
"The borrowed van let Xu Rui drive away." Xu Ning listened to Xie Zheng's one leg on the ground before jumping from the back seat, "Brother Zheng, go back first. In the afternoon, I will ask Lu Kang to send me back, so don't come. Picked me up."
"Okay, then I'll go home." After telling Xu Ning to drink less, Xie Zheng returned on his bicycle.
Open the car door and sit in the back seat. From here to Yang Bo's home is the distance from the start. It doesn't matter to Xu Ning what it is.
Yang Bo’s house is indeed very big, but he can’t fit four or five big round tables in the house. He eats in the courtyard at noon. At this time, the courtyard is also set up with a tent, the material is black plastic fishing net, which can cover the dead leaves and dots. Sunshine is also good.
Several cars had been parked in front of Yang Bo's house at this time. They were all ordinary economic cars. Zhang Meng's husband was a car with a price of 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, but he did not come here today.
Several people in the courtyard saw another car coming. Yang Bo led a few people out. Seeing that it was Lu Kang and the three of them, he hurriedly invited them in happily.
"Oh, Lu Kang is so lucky. He actually brought two big beauties here. This driver is doing his duty." Someone teased Lu Kang.
"Envy?" Lu Kang patted the other person on the shoulder, "I haven't seen each other for so many years, where can I be taller now?"
"If you say anything is high, it's not high. I can't compare with you. Just do a small business in our city and support the family."
"Your business is not small anymore, but it is much better than our wage earners, so be content."
"It's quite content, eating and drinking, having children and daughters, everything is enough."
A man with silver hair on his head saw Xu Ning and Zhang Meng, "Who would have imagined that the big beauties who swept our school back then have actually reached this height."
"Really, Boss Xu, does your unit still recruit people? Can I look at the door?"
"You go and show me the gate, you are not yielding?" Xu Ning sat down on a chair in the courtyard, looked around, and saw a familiar person, Lu Xuejiao.
Lu Xuejiao and Xu Ning are the same age, but their bodies are already blessed. At this moment, sitting with a few women in her village, two or three circles of flesh are piled up in her lower abdomen, her skin is also dull yellow, spotted, her eyes are diffident, and her eyes are swollen. It might be because I have dyed my hair before. Although it looks good at this time, it gives people a dry feeling.
I found Xu Ning's gaze there, and after looking at her, he moved away unnaturally.
"Hey, you are Xu Ning, right?" A woman with a round figure came in, and after greeting everyone, she came to Xu Ning to sit down, "It's been a long time since you have seen this, you are actually getting more and more beautiful."
Xu Ning was surprised when he saw the incoming person, "Xiaodie?"
"It's me." Lu Xiaodie nodded, "You are amazing, you are really beautiful since childhood, you, look at me, since the birth of two children, the whole person is getting old soon."
Zhang Meng poured a cup of tea for Lu Xiaodie next to him, "You don't know how to maintain it. Xu Ning is already three children, and he hasn't seen him old."
"Three?" Lu Xiaodie was also happy for Xu Ning. "Boys and girls?"
"My son is in the sixth grade this year, and the two young ones are also in elementary school. How about you?"
"I must have been married before you. My eldest daughter is in junior high school, and the younger daughter is still in kindergarten." Lu Xiaodie sighed softly, "This day will pass soon, and I will be old without knowing it. When you suddenly feel panicked, won't you be old?"
"Do you think I'm a fairy?" Xu Ning couldn't help. "I also rely on cosmetics for maintenance. You think Zhang Meng is also young? Later you will send the address to my mobile phone, and I will give it to you when I return to the capital. Send a set of cosmetics to improve your skin's foundation."
"I have it at home!" Lu Xiaodie is not a man who takes advantage of others.
Zhang Meng patted Lu Xiaodie’s hand on the table, "Xu Ning is a cosmetics business. Since I told you to give it to you, don’t refuse. Others know that she wants to give away free cosmetics, so I’m not so happy and crazy. You use it. After finishing this set, the skin can also be greatly improved, and it shouldn’t be a problem for those who are ten or eight years younger."
"Really?" Lu Xiaodie looked at the two of them hopingly, and then took a sip of tea. "You two, my husband and I have been married for more than ten years and gave birth to two daughters. Their family also has something for me. Opinion, I used to work in the county cultural and industrial troupe. Later, my eldest daughter went to school and couldn’t take care of it. So I quit my job and became a housewife at home. Little, I saw that she was a girl again before. Although my in-laws didn’t say it face-to-face, she said secretly that I was not good enough. Hey... the days are really hard."
The two of them can only listen to this kind of thing. Is it possible that Lu Xiaodie and her husband cannot be divorced without thinking? She herself didn't have this thought. As an old classmate who wasn't so close, how could she instill that kind of thought inadvertently.
"When your daughter grows up, you will be very blessed." Xu Ning said with relief: "In the future, your children will be able to provide for the elderly. At least your daughter will not need to prepare a house for them when you marry in the future. What's more not good?"
"That is, I also hope to have another daughter." Zhang Meng agreed.
After being dispelled by the two in this way, Lu Xiaodie felt much better in her heart.
It’s also said that her in-laws don’t like granddaughters, but as a mother, she likes them. Both children are well-behaved and sensible. Of course, the husband wants a son in his heart, but he never talked about it, even when the little daughter was born. Although the husband was a little silent at the time, he didn’t say anything bad. She took care of her very much during the confinement period. She might have felt a little guilty in her heart before, but in the past two years she has also been more comfortable. The eldest daughter’s academic performance is very good. There will surely be promising in the future.
The junior high school classmates came in one after another. Soon dozens of people gathered in the courtyard, both men and women. They were all rushing to the fourth, but their mental outlook was different.
Among them, there are also people who mix with Xu Ning in shopping malls, and a few who enter government agencies after graduating from university. Most of them are part-time jobs and farming at home, so Xu Ning is not happy to attend this kind of class gathering for too long. , Getting together is nothing more than a variety of comparisons, or to praise them, it's boring.
It was because of Lu Kang's face that Xu Ning came to walk for a while. She didn't care how others thought of her, and she couldn't just get up and leave in this kind of situation.
There were a lot of people sitting inside and outside the house. Everyone gathered in twos and threes for tea and chat, but in such a short time, they had their own small circle. Xu Ning is Zhang Meng, Lu Xiaodie, and Lu Kang. Sitting here too, Yang Bo, as the main initiator, spent most of the time talking around, but he was so busy as a spinning top, but he didn't see anyone left out.
Xu Ning always felt that a few eyes were always on her, and occasionally looked lightly at Lu Xuejiao.
After more than 20 years, Xu Ning can't remember much of those things, but she still doesn't want to talk to those people.
Lu Xiaodie followed Xu Ning's sight, saw the winking eyes of Lu Xuejiao and several people over there, and turned to her and said, "Isn't she married a man with very good conditions back then..."
"The conditions are very good?" Zhang Meng was speechless. He only had a little money at home, so how could people with poor personal conditions be called very good.
"I'm talking about good conditions at home." Lu Xiaodie chuckled. "The man she married was also very rich. At that time, there were not many motorcycles at home."
"All right, you go on."
"Later, she gave birth to three daughters in succession. Her in-laws were not happy, and she made troubles with her every day. She was not a person who could swallow her voice. After a long time, the two divorced. The three daughters did not have one in the husband's family, and they all gave them to her. She is still living in her family’s home. This stay is ten years ago. A few years ago, her parents were gone. She gave her the old house before her death. Her brothers and sisters were uncomfortable. I rarely interact with her, and it's a bitter life."
"I really couldn't see it when I was young. When I think about junior high school, she was so awe-inspiring. She was in the Lira gang all day long. The Seven Fairies in the sky can mix to this point. It's also a skill." Zhang Meng said to Lu Xuejiao. Several people didn't have a good impression at all. Even after more than 20 years had passed, they were still unwilling to touch them, so they didn't say anything after entering the door, and didn't even say hello.
Lu Kang sneered beside him, did not hold back, the stalk of Seven Fairies hasn't passed yet?
How shameless it was back then, how embarrassing it is now, a properly dark history.
A cigarette popped out and lit, Lu Kang took a deep breath, "You three didn't join, right?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Zhang Meng rolled his eyes at him.
"Fortunately not, otherwise I don't know how to look at you in the future."
Xu Ning didn't talk to him. He listened casually to the chat of a few people around him, and saw that on another table, a few men and women were surrounded by a man in a black suit with an arrogant man in his eyes.
She had such a face in her mind, but she couldn't remember the other person's name.
"That's Ma Dachun, and it's pretty good now. There are villa cars that make sense for water."
Xu Ning nodded. Lu Xiaodie is very familiar with the things about these classmates at home, and may also go home often and hear more news.
At the lunch table, Xu Ning drank two glasses of beer. She didn't like to drink very much. In the past, she used to drink red wine or juice at social gatherings. Of course, most of them were juice, and red wine was rarely touched.
"Xu Ning, you are still as beautiful as when you were studying. We are classmates. Although you may be unfamiliar with me, it may be fate to meet again. Let's go one." Ma Dachun at the same table raised the glass in his hand. It's white wine, Xu Ning's side is beer.
He picked up the wine glass and touched the other party. Xu Ning put down the wine glass with a light sip. The other party directly poured the white wine from the small wine cup with his head upside down and gestured with a grin, meaning that I was dry.
"Oh, our beautiful Xu Damei is really reserved. She gave her a bite of face. That's beer." Ma Dachun looked at her strangely.
This woman is really beautiful, especially the plump **** under the cheongsam, which makes people feel itchy.
In recent years, Ma Dachun has really made a fortune. He has made a lot of money. He has bought villas in several places in the country. He was almost ten years old. Later, he disliked the other party's lack of culture, temperament, taste, etc., and divorced the other party. The next few did not marry at all. After breaking up, he gave the other party a sum of money for bulk goods. What he has is money. .
It’s just that for Xu Ning, he only dared to think about it in his heart, but he didn’t dare to do it. Xu Ning’s identity had been exploded in the group for a long time, and his husband was an army general. He couldn’t afford to die. .
Being able to mix to the present point, Ma Dachun is naturally not a fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd.
Xu Ning's intuition was very keen, and he looked at Ma Dachun opposite with a smile. Although he was smiling, his sight calmed Ma Dachun's mind a little bit.
Lu Kang felt bitter in his heart. After working with Xu Ning for so many years, he couldn't be more clear about the boss's temper. Don't look at the smile now, I'm afraid the cold wind is already roaring in his heart.
This Ma Dachun has water in his mind, and he has heard of Lu Kang's comments. Could it be that in Ma Dachun's heart, Xu Ning is also that kind of ordinary casual woman? Saying a couple of jokes, you think you are humorous?
"Come and eat some food, don't get cold later." Lu Kang hurriedly greeted them.
Xu Ning retracted his gaze and stared at Lu Kang for three seconds. When he saw that the other party blinked at her, Xu Ning picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes again.
"Dachun, don't keep your mouth open when you drink. Xu Ning doesn't drink much." Lu Kang was afraid to pat Ma Dachun on the shoulder.
Ma Dachun’s back is a little sweaty, he has made a lot of money these years, and women often change, and the people around him are also holding him, which really makes him a little fluttering. He was looked at by Xu Ning’s eyes just now. , But there was nothing glamorous in his heart, instead he felt that the whole person was suppressed by that line of sight, and his back felt a little chilly.
"Mr. Xu is the big boss, isn't he unpaid?" Yang Bo asked curiously while eating the food.
"...Even if she is socializing, how many would you dare to persuade you to drink?" Lu Kang patted Yang Bo's beer belly, "and I attended most of the commercial cocktail parties. Champagne juice or cocktails, occasionally a drink of red wine, but very little."
"This boss in your family is simply a clear stream." Yang Bo immediately reacted, "Then you are always socializing, why is your body better than me?"
"Exercise, I practice every morning."
"..." Yang Bo felt that the relationship between himself and Lu Kang, his friend, seemed unsustainable.
After three rounds of drinking, the people at Lu Xuejiao's table murmured, and then they saw two women getting up and coming to Xu Ning with beer glasses.
"Xu Ning, do you remember us?" The one who spoke was a thin woman wearing a white shirt and blue flared jeans.
Xu Ning looked at the two and nodded, a kind of fluttering, "Of course I remember."
Lu Qinqin and Lu Yunfang, who were good classmates with her back then, changed their faces immediately because of Lu Xuejiao's relationship.
"What? I haven't seen you for many years. Come and meet you." Lu Qinqin reached out and touched the wine glass in Xu Ning's hand. Lu Yunfang followed closely behind, and the two men raised their heads and took the beer. After drinking it all, many of the surrounding students clapped their hands in applause, shouting "freshness" and "arrogance" and so on.
Xu Ning didn't do what they did, just took a sip and then let it go.
It’s not that Xu Ning really doesn’t give face and doesn’t look at her face. Not to mention it’s just class gatherings, or important commercial gatherings. She hardly touches alcohol, but there is only tea, white wine and beer, not even a bottle of juice. There is no way.
Someone started to mumble, saying that Xu Ning didn't give any face to him.
A woman at one of the tables smiled and said, "Why do people give you face? Only those who stand at the same height have face. Why do you let Xu Ning give us face? A junior high school classmate more than 20 years ago? Say no The sentence of giving us face is a joke in itself. She is the president of a large group, worth hundreds of millions, or the wife of an army general. If she gives us face, what identity do we have?"
Everyone present knew Xu Ning's identity, but they pulled a fig leaf to cover up the truth they knew.
Now being dismantled on the spot, that kind of embarrassment and embarrassment almost made this classmate society unsustainable.
face? Ridiculous face.
You don’t face yourself, face others, and want others to give you face. Do you see the beggars on the street give the right face?
Of course, although this is a metaphor, compared to Xu Ning's worth, they are not as good as a beggar, and there is no face between people who are too far apart.
Even a wealthy person like Ma Dachun in their eyes doesn't want to save face. Why are they? Thick-skinned?
"Dachun, what aquatic products are in your store?" Yang Bo asked.
"What do you want? There are almost all domestic ones, and many foreign ones. Of course, Australian lobsters are available, but not many. They were all ordered away before, and there are only two boxes left. Would Mr. Xu want it? "
Looking at Ma Dachun's flexing and stretching look, Xu Ning admired this somewhat impressed old classmate.
"Big boxes and small boxes?"
"Sixty big box."
"Then I want all the two boxes, is there anything else?"
"Do you want sea cucumber and abalone?"
"...I don't like this very much, Zhang Meng, do you like it?"
"It's not bad, you gave it to me, I will definitely eat it." Zhang Meng said with a smile.
"Then bring a box, leave a few for Zhang Meng, and let Xiaodie take the rest."
"Huh?" Lu Xiaodie looked at Xu Ning in surprise, "You don't need to give it to me, such an expensive thing."
"Go back and make up!" Zhang Meng said to Lu Xiaodie.
Ma Dachun got up and went outside to make a phone call, presumably to ask people in the store to bring things here.
At about 3:30 in the afternoon, a small truck came to Yang Bo's door, Ma Dachun saw it, got up and walked over.
People were asked to move those incubators to the yard, and Ma Dachun greeted Xu Ning, "Xu Ning, take a look."
She got up and walked over, and many people also gathered.
Ma Dachun opened a large incubator. Inside were huge red lobsters, with faint golden claws. Each one was more than a catty in size, so the price was naturally not cheap.
"The quality of this lobster is very good." Yang Bo picked up one and said to Lu Kang.
Lu Kang nodded, "Indeed, I thought Dachun was a profiteer, but I didn't expect it to be a real business."
Ma Dachun laughed and said: "I despise me, right? I have been working on this water for thirteen or four years. If it is not sincere, how can I achieve the current scale."
"In addition, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. We are also the first meeting of junior high school classmates in more than 20 years. I also brought two more boxes of sea prawns to share."
Xu Ning asked Yang Bo to find some sturdier plastic bags. Each bag contained two lobsters and abalones and sea cucumbers. Of course, there were more than one hundred abalones and sea cucumbers in a box. Today, nearly forty people came, everyone It can only be divided into two, and she won't know who will eat it when she goes back, and she doesn't care.
Xu Ning took some of the rest, and they were divided between Zhang Meng and Lu Xiaodie, and Lu Kang and Yang Bo also left two, which was considered a relief at home.
The salary of the two of them is enough to afford it outside, and they don't care about it.
After the division, everyone broke up and went home. Lu Kang wanted to send Zhang Meng and Xu Ning away, and also took two classmates from neighboring villages along the way.
First sent Xu Ning to the door, Lu Kang asked from the car window: "Are you going back the day after tomorrow?"
"Probably, it doesn't matter when I go back, you can't delay work." Xu Ning smiled.
Lu Kang nodded in a dumbfounded manner, "Yes, yes, the boss has ordered that. I naturally can't be late. I will leave first."
"Okay, slow down the road, Zhang Meng also pay more attention."
Watching the car leave, Xu Ning returned home with two big bags.
The father and son were sitting on the kang playing cards. Just now they heard the movement of Xu Ning behind the house. At this time, the twins were lying on the window and looking out.
Xu Ning saw the two little guys, waved at them, and lifted his feet into the house.
"How is it?" Xie Zheng asked when she saw her.
"That's it, it doesn't mean much. I don't really like gatherings of this nature." Xu Ning stood on the edge of the tukang, holding her little daughter in her arms, "Mom is not at home?"
"Well, the ancestral tomb can be repaired this afternoon, and Mom will follow it this afternoon."
"I brought back ten Australian lobsters and cooked them for lunch tomorrow."
"Where did you buy it?"
"There was a junior high school classmate who was interested in doing water, so he bought some directly, divided the points and brought them back."
Lu Xiaodie's husband is a civil servant in the county government. The company is not high, but it is stable.
He and his wife met in free love, and the relationship after marriage was pretty good. The only regret was that he didn't have a son under his knees. Every time he saw him, his parents would have to say a few grandsons. Can the other one be a son? What if it's still a daughter?
Moreover, the two daughters are really well-behaved and sensible. Even if he likes his son any more, he can’t say that he doesn’t have two daughters in his heart. It is his own birth and can’t be cruel, and he still likes his wife and knows her. At that time, Lu Xiaodie was beautiful and slender, with a good voice that made him admire, and then he chased the person back and married him with all his heart.
"I'm back." Lu Xiaodie was sent back by Yang Bo. Before getting off the car, she greeted the three people in the car and entered the house.
When their little daughter heard her mother's voice, she ran out of the house and plunged into her mother's arms.
"Mom is back." The little girl is delicate and soft, and looks very similar to Lu Xiaodie. The eldest daughter is a blend of the looks of the husband and wife, not as refined as the little one, but she looks pretty.
Li Qiuhang glanced at his wife from the Kang room, and saw that she put an incubator on the pan, and asked: "I went out to the classmates reunion, and brought something back?"
"Well, the aquatic products bought by my old classmates were divided one by one. I had a good relationship with her at that time, so I divided a little bit more." Lu Xiaodie opened the incubator. Inside were a huge lobster and a dozen sea cucumbers and ten. A few abalones, and there are a lot of sea prawns below, "Tomorrow, Mid-Autumn Festival, just made it."
"So much?" Li Qiuhang was also stunned, "This lobster is more than a hundred a catty."
Lu Xiaodie was also taken aback, "So expensive?"
"What do you think." He gave his wife a funny look, "Your classmate is doing very well."
"Well, it's pretty good."
Lu Xiaodie’s father passed away with a cerebral hemorrhage many years ago, and there is only one elderly mother left. They will come back to spend with the elderly almost every Mid-Autumn Festival. Her husband’s family has two sons and one daughter. Li Qiuhang is the youngest, so it doesn’t take too long. Accompanied by my in-laws, I have stayed at my in-laws' house during the Chinese New Year, so most of the Mid-Autumn Festival came to Xiaodie's house.
"Give two to Xiao Fei's house. Let's make two at noon tomorrow, and take the remaining two to parents the day after tomorrow, and put them in the refrigerator afterwards. Let's make them when you treat them to dinner."
"Listen to you." Li Qiuhang didn't have any comments, and his wife was assigned quite well.
"As for the sea cucumber and abalone, please send this to your parents."
"Don't, let's leave it to eat." Li Qiuhang rubbed the little daughter's head. "It was also in Xiaowei's mouth when it was given to parents. It's better to leave it to our girl."
Lu Xiaodie was also a little surprised, but she was slightly moved in her heart, "Why is it so good today?"
"It's like there is something at home, I just send it to my parents." Li Qiuhang was a little upset, his wife was very good, but he still wanted a son, but he wouldn't do anything to want a son. Extraordinary things.
Lu Xiaodie pursed his lips and smiled, without saying anything.
She never thinks anything wrong with her daughter. Seeing Xu Ning and Zhang Meng today, this idea is even stronger.
Isn't Lu Kang who was so good in school at the time working for Xu Ning now?
Zhang Meng also set up a studio and became the boss himself, and his development is very good.
Women also have a foothold in this society, no worse than men.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xu family spent time in Xiangshan Village. As for the Imperial Capital, it would be nice for the elderly from the two families to get together and have a fun. After all, they came back to repair the ancestral tomb, not to do other things.
This morning, Xu Jianjun and his wife took Xu Rui, packed some incense candles and waited to go to the ancestral grave. The Mid-Autumn Festival was regarded as a formal worship, and Xu Ning was preparing meals for today's noon at home.
There are only a few people in the family, and there is no need to deal with it, Xie Zheng also came to help.
As for Xie Yang, he took his younger brother and sister to play poker or glass beads. The glass beads were taught by the villagers to play with the three of them. He is currently addicted.
Because he was too tired yesterday, and because he had to prepare meals today, he didn't toss his wife. He thought about drinking a little wine while eating dumplings tonight. That was the atmosphere.
"Aunt Ning." A little girl with a pair of pony tails walked in outside. It was Uncle Bao Shuan's granddaughter Cui Cui.
"Cui Cui is here?" Xu Ning heard the sound and saw the little girl handing over a white plastic bag with a bag of homemade sausage.
"Grandma asked me to bring it here."
Xu Ning took it and led Cuicui into the house, "Brother Zheng, put some prawns for the child."
Xie Zheng responded and found a plastic bag containing thirty or forty large sea prawns, put another plastic bag, and handed it to Xu Cuicui.
"Cui Cui, take this back. Auntie will put some fruits back for you." Xu Ning went into the house and found a large-capacity handbag with a lot of fruits in it. After he came out, he greeted Xie Yang, "Yang Yang, help Cui Cui delivered the things to your grandpa Baoshuan's house."
"Come here." Xie Yang is already 1.5 meters tall at this time. He will go to junior high school next year and then go to high school. He can continue to move up, but according to the heights of Xie Zheng and Xu Ning, none of the three children in the family can Short.
The twins naturally followed, and Xu Ning came back here to continue to work.
The lunch meal was very rich. Xu Ning took out the lobster meat, chopped it into mashed meat and added other ingredients, and then fried the meatballs in the pot. Lobster is often eaten at home, but it is not a rare thing.
This time, the sea prawns were made into spicy prawns. When I started to cook them, the pungent and spicy taste directly threw out Brother Zheng. When I made my own spicy dishes, there was a range hood. You can use it here. The front and rear windows were open, and the people who smelled irritating burst into tears.
The old village chief's house, seeing Cui Cui come back with Xie Yang and three people, smiled and greeted them to enter the house.
"Why did the three of you follow? Ouch, girl Cui Cui, I asked you to send sausages to Aunt Ning, but you brought back so many things."
"Aunt Ning gave it to me, I didn't want it!" Cui Cui dared to say hurriedly, and then handed the bag of fresh shrimps to her grandma.
The village chief’s wife took a look, what a big shrimp, how much does it cost?
Xie Yang brought things, said hello to the old village chief's family, and led his younger brothers and sisters away.
"His father, take a look!" he handed the bag of fresh shrimps up, "Ningning's child is still real."
"It's not small, let's make it for the holidays today." The old village chief said with his hands behind his back.
"Eat today? It’s better to keep it for the New Year. I put it in the freezer of the supply and marketing cooperative." How willing, they are reluctant to buy such a large shrimp to eat all year round, and they don’t even dare to think about it. There are dozens of bags in this bag. what.
"It's not the same for the New Year and the holidays, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a big festival."
Seeing this, the old woman didn't say anything, so she found a stainless steel basin and started to clean up the shrimps.
As a child, Cui Cui doesn’t need her for cooking at home. Grandma and mother can handle it. Fortunately, my aunt won’t come today, otherwise my cousin will eat everything at home, which happens every time I come. , My brother has to stand aside.
"Mom, where are my dad and my brother?"
"In the supply and marketing cooperative."
Cui Cui took out an apple from the paper bag and ate it to the supply and marketing agency.
Xu Jianjun and his wife and Xu Rui came back less than ten o'clock, when Xu Ning was preparing to put the carp in the pot.
After that, Xu Jianjun greeted Xie Zheng to drink tea on the kang, and Xu Rui stayed in the kitchen to help her sister cook. His craftsmanship was very good and he could do everything.
"How is the packing over there?" Xu Ning asked.
Xu Rui smiled and said, "It's natural to repair it very well. It is made of marble, and the tombstone is also very particular."
The two of them didn't have a good impression of the Xu family's ancestors. The closer they got to their grandma, the less they liked the Xu family's deceased elders.
Grandma gave birth to five children, but now there is only one left. The uncle and the second uncle were dedicated to the revolution. It’s nothing to say, but the aunt was tortured to death by the two old people. The mountain village has hardly been affected by the war, and starvation is really not going to happen. There are mountains and waters around, even if the meal is muddy, it can be eaten, but it is stunned by the grind to starve to death, how cruel it is.
For other children, grandma has no guilt, but the aunt who died at just the right age, grandma always has lumps and obsessions in her heart.
"I don't feel the person lying in it. When I kneel over there with my parents, I feel like a stranger. My parents have the same idea as me."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Ning glared at her younger brother. "Grandma said that the old lady was very fond of our dad. Dad later became estranged from there."
"I heard what my mom said, the approach is really extreme." Xu Rui said.
"People in that era were very patriarchal. Not having a son seemed to be a spine-stabbing thing. It was to cut off children and grandchildren. Although ignorant, it was also the status quo of the big society."
But the contempt for human life, but it makes people bone-chilling.
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Ning received a call from Lu Kang, telling her that there was a reunion of junior high school classmates in Yangzhuang today.Of course, this party did not bring any objects or children. It was also hosted by Lu Kang and Yang Bo. I went there today and I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. If we gather together to have a good chat and eat a meal, it would be outrageous to bring the children. Of course, the food is also invited to the mobile restaurant in town. Although the mobile restaurant sounds decent as it is to go to the restaurant, the chef of the mobile restaurant is not worse than the physical store. On the contrary, the craftsmanship is even better, otherwise people will not invite you. This focuses on a word-of-mouth issue.The food is paid by the two of them. All kinds of fresh dishes are bought at the market in the mobile restaurant early in the morning, and then they will pay the bill together before leaving. Xu Ning's parents plan to finish the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the second day, there will be another mobile banquet in the village. After all, leaving Xiangshan Village this time, it will be very difficult to come back again. There are no relatives in the village. Even if there are relatives who have not shown the Wufu, the feelings are relatively weak. On the contrary, it's not as good as the close relationship between the same village, because the Xu family had a difficult life back then. Others bite their lips and refused to pick up the three of Chunhua mother and son. The old lady didn't look down on those people of the same race. It's because people of the same clan didn't go to the imperial capital to catch the autumn wind, otherwise the old lady could not figure out how to rush these people, so it's already a shame to have a banquet with flowing water in the village.After breakfast, Xu Ning went back to the room and went into the space under the gaze of Brother Zheng. From the closet inside, he searched for the clothes to be worn for today's classmate meeting. Naturally, there are casual clothes, many dresses, and cheongsam. Many, according to the actual situation today, she would naturally not dress up like attending a business cocktail party. After all, if she appeared in the class reunion brightly, and other classmates would only wear that kind of relatively decent clothes. , I don't know how to look at the occasion, but I rummaged for a while, and finally put on a lake-blue cheongsam. The clothes are too simple, the others are very luxurious, and there are only a few usual ones. Wear it twice at home, although it has been washed twice, it is decent enough.After I came out, I sat in front of the mirror and put on a light makeup, and lipstick also poured in, and my long black hair was pulled back into a simple but refreshing ball head, which instantly reduced my age, and the whole person seemed to be relieved from the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. The young girl in Qingxiang coming slowly.Xu Ning picked up the knitted tassel shawl from the bed, put it on his shoulder, turned it around in front of Xie Zheng, and smiled brightly: "Does it look good?"If it weren't for her to wear lipstick, Xie Zheng would definitely get in and kiss her.Sitting on the edge of the bed, he raised his hand and pulled him into his arms, with the palm of her hand lingering on her slender waist and stroking it twice, "It looks good, Ningning looks the best.""The mouth is really sweet." Xu Ning bowed his eyebrows, bowed his head and kissed Xie Zheng's lips, and smiled: "The lipstick produced by our company does not fade."Hearing these words, Xie Zheng's eyes instantly turned hot, pressing the palm of Xu Ning's back with a slight force, pulling the person onto his lap and sitting down, clasping her back of the head, and then bowed his head and kissed deeply.Xu Ning felt that she was a wolf into the mouth of a tiger. The feeling was just because she was worried that her lipstick would lose its color.The domineering tongue pried open her pink lips, went deep into it and danced with her lips and tongue wantonly, groaning intolerable gasps, making Xie Zheng's crotch tighten, but it also loosened her when there was movement in the kitchen next door. open."I went there today, but be careful, don't let other men touch you." Brother Zheng swept across her lips, the lipstick smell was a little sweet, but now, looking at it, it is still blazing red lips. It really doesn't fade."Hey, it's difficult for a strong man. I haven't seen each other for many years, and I can't shake hands?" Xu Ning's slender fingertips circled her husband's slightly open neckline, her eyes charming as a monster.Brother Zheng picked up his starry eyes, and said with a smile, "Look up the bar, right?"Xu Ning grinned and swiped the tip of her tongue temptingly on her red lips, "I just lifted the bar. Would you like to punish me at night, Brother Zheng?"While talking, she slowly slid her fingers down, her index finger hooked his belt, and the thumb was pressed down, very lightly, but she heard the man's gasping sound, which made her unable to hold herself up. She straightened her chest up. He took a sip from his throat."Punish!" The bed outside couldn't hold it, but it didn't matter in the space. She was punished to death tonight, "Let's go, let you go there.""good!"Xu Rui drove the van to the ancestral grave. Xie Zheng borrowed a bicycle and took his wife to Yangzhuang.As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Yangzhuang Village, a black car stopped in front of them after honking its whistle, and then the co-drive window rolled down. Zhang Mengprobe looked at the two with a smile."It's so sweet, it's actually cycling.""The borrowed van let Xu Rui drive away." Xu Ning listened to Xie Zheng's one leg on the ground before jumping from the back seat, "Brother Zheng, go back first. In the afternoon, I will ask Lu Kang to send me back, so don't come. Picked me up.""Okay, then I'll go home." After telling Xu Ning to drink less, Xie Zheng returned on his bicycle.Open the car door and sit in the back seat. From here to Yang Bo's home is the distance from the start. It doesn't matter to Xu Ning what it is.Yang Bo's house is indeed very big, but he can't fit four or five big round tables in the house. He eats in the courtyard at noon. At this time, the courtyard is also set up with a tent, the material is black plastic fishing net, which can cover the dead leaves and dots. Sunshine is also good.Several cars had been parked in front of Yang Bo's house at this time. They were all ordinary economic cars. Zhang Meng's husband was a car with a price of 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, but he did not come here today.Several people in the courtyard saw another car coming. Yang Bo led a few people out. Seeing that it was Lu Kang and the three of them, he hurriedly invited them in happily."Oh, Lu Kang is so lucky. He actually brought two big beauties here. This driver is doing his duty." Someone teased Lu Kang."Envy?" Lu Kang patted the other person on the shoulder, "I haven't seen each other for so many years, where can I be taller now?""If you say anything is high, it's not high. I can't compare with you. Just do a small business in our city and support the family.""Your business is not small anymore, but it is much better than our wage earners, so be content.""It's quite content, eating and drinking, having children and daughters, everything is enough."A man with silver hair on his head saw Xu Ning and Zhang Meng, "Who would have imagined that the big beauties who swept our school back then have actually reached this height.""Really, Boss Xu, does your unit still recruit people? Can I look at the door?""You go and show me the gate, you are not yielding?" Xu Ning sat down on a chair in the courtyard, looked around, and saw a familiar person, Lu Xuejiao.Lu Xuejiao and Xu Ning are the same age, but their bodies are already blessed. At this moment, sitting with a few women in her village, two or three circles of flesh are piled up in her lower abdomen, her skin is also dull yellow, spotted, her eyes are diffident, and her eyes are swollen. It might be because I have dyed my hair before. Although it looks good at this time, it gives people a dry feeling.I found Xu Ning's gaze there, and after looking at her, he moved away unnaturally."Hey, you are Xu Ning, right?" A woman with a round figure came in, and after greeting everyone, she came to Xu Ning to sit down, "It's been a long time since you have seen this, you are actually getting more and more beautiful."Xu Ning was surprised when he saw the incoming person, "Xiaodie?""It's me." Lu Xiaodie nodded, "You are amazing, you are really beautiful since childhood, you, look at me, since the birth of two children, the whole person is getting old soon."Zhang Meng poured a cup of tea for Lu Xiaodie next to him, "You don't know how to maintain it. Xu Ning is already three children, and he hasn't seen him old.""Three?" Lu Xiaodie was also happy for Xu Ning. "Boys and girls?""My son is in the sixth grade this year, and the two young ones are also in elementary school. How about you?""I must have been married before you. My eldest daughter is in junior high school, and the younger daughter is still in kindergarten." Lu Xiaodie sighed softly, "This day will pass soon, and I will be old without knowing it. When you suddenly feel panicked, won't you be old?""Do you think I'm a fairy?" Xu Ning couldn't help. "I also rely on cosmetics for maintenance. You think Zhang Meng is also young? Later you will send the address to my mobile phone, and I will give it to you when I return to the capital. Send a set of cosmetics to improve your skin's foundation.""I have it at home!" Lu Xiaodie is not a man who takes advantage of others.Zhang Meng patted Lu Xiaodie's hand on the table, "Xu Ning is a cosmetics business. Since I told you to give it to you, don't refuse. Others know that she wants to give away free cosmetics, so I'm not so happy and crazy. You use it. After finishing this set, the skin can also be greatly improved, and it shouldn't be a problem for those who are ten or eight years younger.""Really?" Lu Xiaodie looked at the two of them hopingly, and then took a sip of tea. "You two, my husband and I have been married for more than ten years and gave birth to two daughters. Their family also has something for me. Opinion, I used to work in the county cultural and industrial troupe. Later, my eldest daughter went to school and couldn't take care of it. So I quit my job and became a housewife at home. Little, I saw that she was a girl again before. Although my in-laws didn't say it face-to-face, she said secretly that I was not good enough. Hey... the days are really hard."The two of them can only listen to this kind of thing. Is it possible that Lu Xiaodie and her husband cannot be divorced without thinking? She herself didn't have this thought. As an old classmate who wasn't so close, how could she instill that kind of thought inadvertently."When your daughter grows up, you will be very blessed." Xu Ning said with relief: "In the future, your children will be able to provide for the elderly. At least your daughter will not need to prepare a house for them when you marry in the future. What's more not good?""That is, I also hope to have another daughter." Zhang Meng agreed.After being dispelled by the two in this way, Lu Xiaodie felt much better in her heart.It's also said that her in-laws don't like granddaughters, but as a mother, she likes them. Both children are well-behaved and sensible. Of course, the husband wants a son in his heart, but he never talked about it, even when the little daughter was born. Although the husband was a little silent at the time, he didn't say anything bad. She took care of her very much during the confinement period. She might have felt a little guilty in her heart before, but in the past two years she has also been more comfortable. The eldest daughter's academic performance is very good. There will surely be promising in the future.The junior high school classmates came in one after another. Soon dozens of people gathered in the courtyard, both men and women. They were all rushing to the fourth, but their mental outlook was different.Among them, there are also people who mix with Xu Ning in shopping malls, and a few who enter government agencies after graduating from university. Most of them are part-time jobs and farming at home, so Xu Ning is not happy to attend this kind of class gathering for too long. , Getting together is nothing more than a variety of comparisons, or to praise them, it's boring.It was because of Lu Kang's face that Xu Ning came to walk for a while. She didn't care how others thought of her, and she couldn't just get up and leave in this kind of situation.There were a lot of people sitting inside and outside the house. Everyone gathered in twos and threes for tea and chat, but in such a short time, they had their own small circle. Xu Ning is Zhang Meng, Lu Xiaodie, and Lu Kang. Sitting here too, Yang Bo, as the main initiator, spent most of the time talking around, but he was so busy as a spinning top, but he didn't see anyone left out.Xu Ning always felt that a few eyes were always on her, and occasionally looked lightly at Lu Xuejiao.After more than 20 years, Xu Ning can't remember much of those things, but she still doesn't want to talk to those people.Lu Xiaodie followed Xu Ning's sight, saw the winking eyes of Lu Xuejiao and several people over there, and turned to her and said, "Isn't she married a man with very good conditions back then...""The conditions are very good?" Zhang Meng was speechless. He only had a little money at home, so how could people with poor personal conditions be called very good."I'm talking about good conditions at home." Lu Xiaodie chuckled. "The man she married was also very rich. At that time, there were not many motorcycles at home.""All right, you go on.""Later, she gave birth to three daughters in succession. Her in-laws were not happy, and she made troubles with her every day. She was not a person who could swallow her voice. After a long time, the two divorced. The three daughters did not have one in the husband's family, and they all gave them to her. She is still living in her family's home. This stay is ten years ago. A few years ago, her parents were gone. She gave her the old house before her death. Her brothers and sisters were uncomfortable. I rarely interact with her, and it's a bitter life.""I really couldn't see it when I was young. When I think about junior high school, she was so awe-inspiring. She was in the Lira gang all day long. The Seven Fairies in the sky can mix to this point. It's also a skill." Zhang Meng said to Lu Xuejiao. Several people didn't have a good impression at all. Even after more than 20 years had passed, they were still unwilling to touch them, so they didn't say anything after entering the door, and didn't even say hello.Lu Kang sneered beside him, did not hold back, the stalk of Seven Fairies hasn't passed yet?How shameless it was back then, how embarrassing it is now, a properly dark history.A cigarette popped out and lit, Lu Kang took a deep breath, "You three didn't join, right?""Do you think it's possible?" Zhang Meng rolled his eyes at him."Fortunately not, otherwise I don't know how to look at you in the future."Xu Ning didn't talk to him. He listened casually to the chat of a few people around him, and saw that on another table, a few men and women were surrounded by a man in a black suit with an arrogant man in his eyes.She had such a face in her mind, but she couldn't remember the other person's name."That's Ma Dachun, and it's pretty good now. There are villa cars that make sense for water."Xu Ning nodded. Lu Xiaodie is very familiar with the things about these classmates at home, and may also go home often and hear more news.At the lunch table, Xu Ning drank two glasses of beer. She didn't like to drink very much. In the past, she used to drink red wine or juice at social gatherings. Of course, most of them were juice, and red wine was rarely touched."Xu Ning, you are still as beautiful as when you were studying. We are classmates. Although you may be unfamiliar with me, it may be fate to meet again. Let's go one." Ma Dachun at the same table raised the glass in his hand. It's white wine, Xu Ning's side is beer.He picked up the wine glass and touched the other party. Xu Ning put down the wine glass with a light sip. The other party directly poured the white wine from the small wine cup with his head upside down and gestured with a grin, meaning that I was dry."Oh, our beautiful Xu Damei is really reserved. She gave her a bite of face. That's beer." Ma Dachun looked at her strangely.This woman is really beautiful, especially the plump **** under the cheongsam, which makes people feel itchy.In recent years, Ma Dachun has really made a fortune. He has made a lot of money. He has bought villas in several places in the country. He was almost ten years old. Later, he disliked the other party's lack of culture, temperament, taste, etc., and divorced the other party. The next few did not marry at all. After breaking up, he gave the other party a sum of money for bulk goods. What he has is money. .It's just that for Xu Ning, he only dared to think about it in his heart, but he didn't dare to do it. Xu Ning's identity had been exploded in the group for a long time, and his husband was an army general. He couldn't afford to die. .Being able to mix to the present point, Ma Dachun is naturally not a fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd.Xu Ning's intuition was very keen, and he looked at Ma Dachun opposite with a smile. Although he was smiling, his sight calmed Ma Dachun's mind a little bit.Lu Kang felt bitter in his heart. After working with Xu Ning for so many years, he couldn't be more clear about the boss's temper. Don't look at the smile now, I'm afraid the cold wind is already roaring in his heart.This Ma Dachun has water in his mind, and he has heard of Lu Kang's comments. Could it be that in Ma Dachun's heart, Xu Ning is also that kind of ordinary casual woman? Saying a couple of jokes, you think you are humorous?"Come and eat some food, don't get cold later." Lu Kang hurriedly greeted them.Xu Ning retracted his gaze and stared at Lu Kang for three seconds. When he saw that the other party blinked at her, Xu Ning picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes again."Dachun, don't keep your mouth open when you drink. Xu Ning doesn't drink much." Lu Kang was afraid to pat Ma Dachun on the shoulder.Ma Dachun's back is a little sweaty, he has made a lot of money these years, and women often change, and the people around him are also holding him, which really makes him a little fluttering. He was looked at by Xu Ning's eyes just now. , But there was nothing glamorous in his heart, instead he felt that the whole person was suppressed by that line of sight, and his back felt a little chilly."Mr. Xu is the big boss, isn't he unpaid?" Yang Bo asked curiously while eating the food."...Even if she is socializing, how many would you dare to persuade you to drink?" Lu Kang patted Yang Bo's beer belly, "and I attended most of the commercial cocktail parties. Champagne juice or cocktails, occasionally a drink of red wine, but very little.""This boss in your family is simply a clear stream." Yang Bo immediately reacted, "Then you are always socializing, why is your body better than me?""Exercise, I practice every morning.""..." Yang Bo felt that the relationship between himself and Lu Kang, his friend, seemed unsustainable.After three rounds of drinking, the people at Lu Xuejiao's table murmured, and then they saw two women getting up and coming to Xu Ning with beer glasses."Xu Ning, do you remember us?" The one who spoke was a thin woman wearing a white shirt and blue flared jeans.Xu Ning looked at the two and nodded, a kind of fluttering, "Of course I remember."Lu Qinqin and Lu Yunfang, who were good classmates with her back then, changed their faces immediately because of Lu Xuejiao's relationship."What? I haven't seen you for many years. Come and meet you." Lu Qinqin reached out and touched the wine glass in Xu Ning's hand. Lu Yunfang followed closely behind, and the two men raised their heads and took the beer. After drinking it all, many of the surrounding students clapped their hands in applause, shouting "freshness" and "arrogance" and so on.Xu Ning didn't do what they did, just took a sip and then let it go.It's not that Xu Ning really doesn't give face and doesn't look at her face. Not to mention it's just class gatherings, or important commercial gatherings. She hardly touches alcohol, but there is only tea, white wine and beer, not even a bottle of juice. There is no way.Someone started to mumble, saying that Xu Ning didn't give any face to him.A woman at one of the tables smiled and said, "Why do people give you face? Only those who stand at the same height have face. Why do you let Xu Ning give us face? A junior high school classmate more than 20 years ago? Say no The sentence of giving us face is a joke in itself. She is the president of a large group, worth hundreds of millions, or the wife of an army general. If she gives us face, what identity do we have?"Everyone present knew Xu Ning's identity, but they pulled a fig leaf to cover up the truth they knew.Now being dismantled on the spot, that kind of embarrassment and embarrassment almost made this classmate society unsustainable.face? Ridiculous face.You don't face yourself, face others, and want others to give you face. Do you see the beggars on the street give the right face?Of course, although this is a metaphor, compared to Xu Ning's worth, they are not as good as a beggar, and there is no face between people who are too far apart.Even a wealthy person like Ma Dachun in their eyes doesn't want to save face. Why are they? Thick-skinned?"Dachun, what aquatic products are in your store?" Yang Bo asked."What do you want? There are almost all domestic ones, and many foreign ones. Of course, Australian lobsters are available, but not many. They were all ordered away before, and there are only two boxes left. Would Mr. Xu want it? "Looking at Ma Dachun's flexing and stretching look, Xu Ning admired this somewhat impressed old classmate."Big boxes and small boxes?""Sixty big box.""Then I want all the two boxes, is there anything else?""Do you want sea cucumber and abalone?""...I don't like this very much, Zhang Meng, do you like it?""It's not bad, you gave it to me, I will definitely eat it." Zhang Meng said with a smile."Then bring a box, leave a few for Zhang Meng, and let Xiaodie take the rest.""Huh?" Lu Xiaodie looked at Xu Ning in surprise, "You don't need to give it to me, such an expensive thing.""Go back and make up!" Zhang Meng said to Lu Xiaodie.Ma Dachun got up and went outside to make a phone call, presumably to ask people in the store to bring things here.At about 3:30 in the afternoon, a small truck came to Yang Bo's door, Ma Dachun saw it, got up and walked over.People were asked to move those incubators to the yard, and Ma Dachun greeted Xu Ning, "Xu Ning, take a look."She got up and walked over, and many people also gathered.Ma Dachun opened a large incubator. Inside were huge red lobsters, with faint golden claws. Each one was more than a catty in size, so the price was naturally not cheap."The quality of this lobster is very good." Yang Bo picked up one and said to Lu Kang.Lu Kang nodded, "Indeed, I thought Dachun was a profiteer, but I didn't expect it to be a real business."Ma Dachun laughed and said: "I despise me, right? I have been working on this water for thirteen or four years. If it is not sincere, how can I achieve the current scale.""In addition, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. We are also the first meeting of junior high school classmates in more than 20 years. I also brought two more boxes of sea prawns to share."Xu Ning asked Yang Bo to find some sturdier plastic bags. Each bag contained two lobsters and abalones and sea cucumbers. Of course, there were more than one hundred abalones and sea cucumbers in a box. Today, nearly forty people came, everyone It can only be divided into two, and she won't know who will eat it when she goes back, and she doesn't care.Xu Ning took some of the rest, and they were divided between Zhang Meng and Lu Xiaodie, and Lu Kang and Yang Bo also left two, which was considered a relief at home.The salary of the two of them is enough to afford it outside, and they don't care about it.After the division, everyone broke up and went home. Lu Kang wanted to send Zhang Meng and Xu Ning away, and also took two classmates from neighboring villages along the way.First sent Xu Ning to the door, Lu Kang asked from the car window: "Are you going back the day after tomorrow?""Probably, it doesn't matter when I go back, you can't delay work." Xu Ning smiled.Lu Kang nodded in a dumbfounded manner, "Yes, yes, the boss has ordered that. I naturally can't be late. I will leave first.""Okay, slow down the road, Zhang Meng also pay more attention."Watching the car leave, Xu Ning returned home with two big bags.The father and son were sitting on the kang playing cards. Just now they heard the movement of Xu Ning behind the house. At this time, the twins were lying on the window and looking out.Xu Ning saw the two little guys, waved at them, and lifted his feet into the house."How is it?" Xie Zheng asked when she saw her."That's it, it doesn't mean much. I don't really like gatherings of this nature." Xu Ning stood on the edge of the tukang, holding her little daughter in her arms, "Mom is not at home?""Well, the ancestral tomb can be repaired this afternoon, and Mom will follow it this afternoon.""I brought back ten Australian lobsters and cooked them for lunch tomorrow.""Where did you buy it?""There was a junior high school classmate who was interested in doing water, so he bought some directly, divided the points and brought them back."Lu Xiaodie's husband is a civil servant in the county government. The company is not high, but it is stable.He and his wife met in free love, and the relationship after marriage was pretty good. The only regret was that he didn't have a son under his knees. Every time he saw him, his parents would have to say a few grandsons. Can the other one be a son? What if it's still a daughter?Moreover, the two daughters are really well-behaved and sensible. Even if he likes his son any more, he can't say that he doesn't have two daughters in his heart. It is his own birth and can't be cruel, and he still likes his wife and knows her. At that time, Lu Xiaodie was beautiful and slender, with a good voice that made him admire, and then he chased the person back and married him with all his heart."I'm back." Lu Xiaodie was sent back by Yang Bo. Before getting off the car, she greeted the three people in the car and entered the house.When their little daughter heard her mother's voice, she ran out of the house and plunged into her mother's arms."Mom is back." The little girl is delicate and soft, and looks very similar to Lu Xiaodie. The eldest daughter is a blend of the looks of the husband and wife, not as refined as the little one, but she looks pretty.Li Qiuhang glanced at his wife from the Kang room, and saw that she put an incubator on the pan, and asked: "I went out to the classmates reunion, and brought something back?""Well, the aquatic products bought by my old classmates were divided one by one. I had a good relationship with her at that time, so I divided a little bit more." Lu Xiaodie opened the incubator. Inside were a huge lobster and a dozen sea cucumbers and ten. A few abalones, and there are a lot of sea prawns below, "Tomorrow, Mid-Autumn Festival, just made it.""So much?" Li Qiuhang was also stunned, "This lobster is more than a hundred a catty."Lu Xiaodie was also taken aback, "So expensive?""What do you think." He gave his wife a funny look, "Your classmate is doing very well.""Well, it's pretty good."Lu Xiaodie's father passed away with a cerebral hemorrhage many years ago, and there is only one elderly mother left. They will come back to spend with the elderly almost every Mid-Autumn Festival. Her husband's family has two sons and one daughter. Li Qiuhang is the youngest, so it doesn't take too long. Accompanied by my in-laws, I have stayed at my in-laws' house during the Chinese New Year, so most of the Mid-Autumn Festival came to Xiaodie's house."Give two to Xiao Fei's house. Let's make two at noon tomorrow, and take the remaining two to parents the day after tomorrow, and put them in the refrigerator afterwards. Let's make them when you treat them to dinner.""Listen to you." Li Qiuhang didn't have any comments, and his wife was assigned quite well."As for the sea cucumber and abalone, please send this to your parents.""Don't, let's leave it to eat." Li Qiuhang rubbed the little daughter's head. "It was also in Xiaowei's mouth when it was given to parents. It's better to leave it to our girl."Lu Xiaodie was also a little surprised, but she was slightly moved in her heart, "Why is it so good today?""It's like there is something at home, I just send it to my parents." Li Qiuhang was a little upset, his wife was very good, but he still wanted a son, but he wouldn't do anything to want a son. Extraordinary things.Lu Xiaodie pursed his lips and smiled, without saying anything.She never thinks anything wrong with her daughter. Seeing Xu Ning and Zhang Meng today, this idea is even stronger.Isn't Lu Kang who was so good in school at the time working for Xu Ning now?Zhang Meng also set up a studio and became the boss himself, and his development is very good.Women also have a foothold in this society, no worse than men.The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion.This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xu family spent time in Xiangshan Village. As for the Imperial Capital, it would be nice for the elderly from the two families to get together and have a fun. After all, they came back to repair the ancestral tomb, not to do other things.This morning, Xu Jianjun and his wife took Xu Rui, packed some incense candles and waited to go to the ancestral grave. The Mid-Autumn Festival was regarded as a formal worship, and Xu Ning was preparing meals for today's noon at home.There are only a few people in the family, and there is no need to deal with it, Xie Zheng also came to help.As for Xie Yang, he took his younger brother and sister to play poker or glass beads. The glass beads were taught by the villagers to play with the three of them. He is currently addicted.Because he was too tired yesterday, and because he had to prepare meals today, he didn't toss his wife. He thought about drinking a little wine while eating dumplings tonight. That was the atmosphere."Aunt Ning." A little girl with a pair of pony tails walked in outside. It was Uncle Bao Shuan's granddaughter Cui Cui."Cui Cui is here?" Xu Ning heard the sound and saw the little girl handing over a white plastic bag with a bag of homemade sausage."Grandma asked me to bring it here."Xu Ning took it and led Cuicui into the house, "Brother Zheng, put some prawns for the child."Xie Zheng responded and found a plastic bag containing thirty or forty large sea prawns, put another plastic bag, and handed it to Xu Cuicui."Cui Cui, take this back. Auntie will put some fruits back for you." Xu Ning went into the house and found a large-capacity handbag with a lot of fruits in it. After he came out, he greeted Xie Yang, "Yang Yang, help Cui Cui delivered the things to your grandpa Baoshuan's house.""Come here." Xie Yang is already 1.5 meters tall at this time. He will go to junior high school next year and then go to high school. He can continue to move up, but according to the heights of Xie Zheng and Xu Ning, none of the three children in the family can Short.The twins naturally followed, and Xu Ning came back here to continue to work.The lunch meal was very rich. Xu Ning took out the lobster meat, chopped it into mashed meat and added other ingredients, and then fried the meatballs in the pot. Lobster is often eaten at home, but it is not a rare thing.This time, the sea prawns were made into spicy prawns. When I started to cook them, the pungent and spicy taste directly threw out Brother Zheng. When I made my own spicy dishes, there was a range hood. You can use it here. The front and rear windows were open, and the people who smelled irritating burst into tears.The old village chief's house, seeing Cui Cui come back with Xie Yang and three people, smiled and greeted them to enter the house."Why did the three of you follow? Ouch, girl Cui Cui, I asked you to send sausages to Aunt Ning, but you brought back so many things.""Aunt Ning gave it to me, I didn't want it!" Cui Cui dared to say hurriedly, and then handed the bag of fresh shrimps to her grandma.The village chief's wife took a look, what a big shrimp, how much does it cost?Xie Yang brought things, said hello to the old village chief's family, and led his younger brothers and sisters away."His father, take a look!" he handed the bag of fresh shrimps up, "Ningning's child is still real.""It's not small, let's make it for the holidays today." The old village chief said with his hands behind his back."Eat today? It's better to keep it for the New Year. I put it in the freezer of the supply and marketing cooperative." How willing, they are reluctant to buy such a large shrimp to eat all year round, and they don't even dare to think about it. There are dozens of bags in this bag. what."It's not the same for the New Year and the holidays, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a big festival."Seeing this, the old woman didn't say anything, so she found a stainless steel basin and started to clean up the shrimps.As a child, Cui Cui doesn't need her for cooking at home. Grandma and mother can handle it. Fortunately, my aunt won't come today, otherwise my cousin will eat everything at home, which happens every time I come. , My brother has to stand aside."Mom, where are my dad and my brother?""In the supply and marketing cooperative."Cui Cui took out an apple from the paper bag and ate it to the supply and marketing agency.Xu Jianjun and his wife and Xu Rui came back less than ten o'clock, when Xu Ning was preparing to put the carp in the pot.After that, Xu Jianjun greeted Xie Zheng to drink tea on the kang, and Xu Rui stayed in the kitchen to help her sister cook. His craftsmanship was very good and he could do everything."How is the packing over there?" Xu Ning asked.Xu Rui smiled and said, "It's natural to repair it very well. It is made of marble, and the tombstone is also very particular."The two of them didn't have a good impression of the Xu family's ancestors. The closer they got to their grandma, the less they liked the Xu family's deceased elders.Grandma gave birth to five children, but now there is only one left. The uncle and the second uncle were dedicated to the revolution. It's nothing to say, but the aunt was tortured to death by the two old people. The mountain village has hardly been affected by the war, and starvation is really not going to happen. There are mountains and waters around, even if the meal is muddy, it can be eaten, but it is stunned by the grind to starve to death, how cruel it is.For other children, grandma has no guilt, but the aunt who died at just the right age, grandma always has lumps and obsessions in her heart."I don't feel the person lying in it. When I kneel over there with my parents, I feel like a stranger. My parents have the same idea as me.""Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Ning glared at her younger brother. "Grandma said that the old lady was very fond of our dad. Dad later became estranged from there.""I heard what my mom said, the approach is really extreme." Xu Rui said."People in that era were very patriarchal. Not having a son seemed to be a spine-stabbing thing. It was to cut off children and grandchildren. Although ignorant, it was also the status quo of the big society."But the contempt for human life, but it makes people bone-chilling.
