Jian Yunxi's life was ordinary and brief. The ordinariness was her choice, but the brevity left her unwilling to accept it. If she could do it all over again... Can life really have a do-over?<...
As a result, Jian Yunxi still had to face a dinner party the next day. Her grandfather heard about it and insisted that they go to the county town to have dinner together. They had to listen to the old man.
Jian Yunxi casually wore a sportswear and tied her hair up at the back because her grandfather, who was an old-fashioned man, didn't like people with messy hair.
Comrade Jian Feng called two taxis. Jian Yunxi didn't want to ride in the same car with Jiang Mu and the others, "Second Uncle, I'll take your car."
Jian Yunxi's second uncle readily agreed, so Jian Yunxi and her second uncle's family of three took one car, and Jian's father, Jian's mother, Jiang Mu and Xiong Lin took another.
"Uncle and aunt, does sister Yunxi hate me?" When Xiong Lin said this, even Jiang Mu was shocked and didn't know what he wanted to do.
"How could that be?" Ms. Li Meiling knew her daughter was not that kind of person. "She's just a little shy. Don't take it to heart!"
In the eyes of Jian's mother, Xiong Lin is tall and strong, has an easy-going personality, and is capable of handling things. Jian Yunxi has no reason to hate him.
In Jiang Mu's opinion, Jian Yunxi must have established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Lu Yang during these few days of tutoring, which is why she avoids other boys.
The name of the restaurant is very elegant: Jinxiu Jiangnan. Jian Yunxi guessed that the signature dish is Jiangnan cuisine.
The decoration of the restaurant also has a Jiangnan feel. The tables and chairs in the store are made of solid wood, and the backs of the chairs are carved with exquisite patterns. Even the doors and windows are carved with wood, and the walls are painted with ink paintings of small bridges and flowing water in Jiangnan. Jian Yunxi was mesmerized by the paintings.
My grandparents and my younger brothers and sisters had not arrived yet, so my cousin suggested playing some poker.
Jian Yunxi didn't like playing this either, but her cousin insisted that it would be perfect for four people to play poker, so she had to join in.
The waiter tactfully put out two decks of cards. Jian Yunxi noticed that all the waiters were wearing the same blue and white cheongsam, which was very beautiful.
"Sister Yunxi, I don't know how to lie. You have to teach me." Xiong Lin's voice sounded faintly. Jian Yunxi looked at him in disbelief. Doesn't this guy even think before he lies?
"I'm sorry, Xiong Da, I'm the landlord, I can't help you." Jiang Mu and Xiong Lin were both shocked by this title. What the hell is Xiong Da!
"Sister Yunxi, you can call me Brother Big Bear like we did when we were kids. I like this name." Xiong Lin really didn't like that damn "Big Bear". It sounded stupid.
Jian Yunxi sorted the cards while squinting at him, "Tsk, I'm the eldest in the family, the person who could be my brother might have been born in the wrong family!"
Jiang Mu patted his friend's shoulder sympathetically and mouthed "Give up!"
Jian Yunxi didn't care about the two of them and just threw out a string of straights. Seeing that no one wanted them, he threw out another string of straights.
The cousin's eyes widened instantly, "Sister, please be kind and leave me a way to live."
"Okay, I'll play a small 3, and the rest is up to you." Jian Yunxi started to hang on to the single card. No matter who played, she would be the one to get the upper hand in the end. She was impatient to drag it on any longer.
She threw out the bomb directly, triumphantly, making the other three people look terribly upset. She only had one card left, and she didn't hesitate, "Haha, I win."
Jiang Mu took a closer look and it was still an A. Well, he couldn't win.
The cousin was very upset and insisted on pestering Jian Yunxi for another round. Jian Yunxi had no choice but to say, "Jian Yunkai, let me make a deal first. Don't cry if you lose!"
Her cousin nodded and promised not to cry.
As a result, Jian Yunxi was the landlord again, and Jiang Mu envied Jian Yunxi's good luck.
As a result, Jian Yunxi made great progress in this round and defeated the other three. Jian Yunkai was so anxious that he scratched his head, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch Jian Yunxi put down the last card.
"You agreed not to cry!" Jian Yunxi saw her cousin was about to squint. Her cousin was addicted to playing cards, but his playing habits were not good.
"Hmph, I don't want to play with you anymore!" Jian Yunkai pushed the cards away and left. The adults around him were delighted.
Just then, Jian Yunxi's grandparents came over with their younger brothers and sisters, and everyone sat at the table. It was the first time that Jian Yunxi had seen such a large private room, and the round table could seat more than twenty people.
After a while, all the dishes were served. Jian Yunxi was stunned. The dishes were so delicious that she didn’t know where to start.
As usual, Jian Yunxi's grandfather raised his glass and said a few auspicious words, and the younger generations responded by holding their juices. Then the grandfather turned his attention to Jian Yunxi and insisted that she say a few words.
Jian Yunxi complained in his heart: Here it comes again, alas.
She had to put on a smile, picked up her orange juice and said to everyone: Thank you grandpa and grandma for the hospitality, mom and dad, uncles and aunts, and my brothers and sisters, everyone enjoy your food and drinks, I'll drink this glass first.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively. Her grandfather kept talking to Jiang Mu and Xiong Lin, asking about their well-being.
What is "How are your parents at home?"
"How are you preparing for the college entrance exam?"
“Which is your ideal university?”
When hearing Xiong Lin say "I have been admitted to Tsinghua University", even Jian Yunxi looked at him. He didn't expect that Xiong Lin, who looked like an energetic athlete, was also a hidden academic master.
Jiang Mu was also promoting his good brother: "In the last three mock tests, he ranked first in the district, and he also won gold medals in the Olympic Mathematics Competition and the Physics Competition."
Jian Yunxi thought, it wasn't you who recommended me, so why are you showing off?
"Grandpa, I want to study at the University of Hong Kong in the future. Can you persuade my cousin to go with me?" Jiang Mu suddenly mentioned this. Jian Yunxi didn't even know that Jiang Mu had this plan.
"Aren't you planning to go to Tsinghua University?" Xiong Lin asked. It was clearly agreed upon at the beginning.
