Chapter 325: Hosting a Party (6)

Upon hearing this, Xu Jianlin smiled flatteringly again, bowed and apologized from time to time, and then turned to pull Liu Mei off the ground. At the entrance of the stairs, he happened to see Xu Xu standing on the stairwell. Xu Xu's

facial features have always been good-looking. When he was born, many people said that this child was good-looking.

Later, Xu Xu's mother died, and no one took care of the child. In Liu Mei's hands, he was starved to the point of being unrecognizable. He didn't have a decent piece of clothing, and even his good-looking facial features were ruined.

But now, he has been raised by the Ruan family for more than three months, and he has been reborn. He has grown flesh, white and tender, wears good clothes, and has grown a lot taller. His facial features are still so delicate, and he is as good-looking as the New Year paintings on the wall. He hasn't seen him for a long time, and now he suddenly sees him and is really a little bit unrecognizable.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he met Xu Xu's eyes that looked at him as if he were a stranger, he silently pursed his lips, lowered his head, carried the unconscious Liu Mei up, and walked out of the Ruan family with his head buried. Xu Cheng behind him did the same thing, buried his head, and no expression could be seen.

After the three of them left, the others looked at each other. Ruan Xu from the second eldest master's family came over and said something flattering with a smile: "Auntie, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get angry on such a good day. Besides, look at this wall, it's all red, doesn't it mean that your family will have a better and better life in the future?"

Ruan Lin was angry, but she never took it out on irrelevant people. Hearing this, she glared at Ruan Xu with a reproachful look: "You are good at talking, when did your mouth become so sweet?"

"Hahahaha, since auntie thinks I'm sweet, why don't you give me a few more cigarettes?" Ruan Xu also smiled and joked.

His smile eased the atmosphere in the room, and everyone followed suit and said festive words, and at the same time urged Ruan Lin to give two more cigarettes.

Ruan Lin smiled and stopped looking stern. She was a generous person. Without saying anything, she went inside to get cigarettes and handed each person another cigarette. Du Qing also brought out some melon seeds, peanuts and candies, and handed each female guest another handful.

As for the bloodstains on the wall, they could only wait until the guests left and then repaint it with the cement that had not been used up at night.

The children who were playing outside saw that there were more candies and melon seeds, and they swarmed in.

Ruan Jiaojiao was afraid that Du Qing would be too busy, so she picked up a small bowl and helped to distribute them to the children.

For the children of the Sixth Brigade, today was undoubtedly the same as the Chinese New Year. They could not eat peanuts and melon seeds on ordinary days, but only during the Chinese New Year. Today, each of them was given two handfuls, and each person had an average of three candies. Those who had a good relationship with the Ruan family boy could get four or five.

Ruan Jiaojiao was distributing candies and melon seeds and peanuts to the children. When she met Xu Xiao, she was stunned for a moment.

Xu Xiao was probably wearing his best clothes today. He was a little shy standing in front of Ruan Jiaojiao, and was too embarrassed to reach out to take the candies and melon seeds.

Ruan Jiaojiao had basically no ill feelings towards him now. Seeing that he was embarrassed, she smiled and urged him: "Hurry up and take it, my hands are almost sore."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao hurriedly stretched out his hand, but was afraid that his hands would be dirty, so he rubbed them on his clothes twice, and then stretched his hands in front of him.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at his series of actions, and her heart was a little sour. She felt that he was quite pitiful. After giving him a handful of melon seeds, she grabbed another handful for him and gave him seven or eight candies.
