As soon as Mrs. Ji appeared, the whole place fell silent.
Su Nianmei once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Me?" Su Nianmei pointed at herself.
"Jiao'er, Jiao'er, you're finally back." Old Mrs. Ji broke away from Ji Yun, walked quickly forward and hugged Su Nianmei.
The eighty-year-old man moves as fast as an arrow.
Su Nianmei originally wanted to push Mrs. Ji away, but when she saw the old lady's eyes, her heart softened. It always reminded her of her grandmother.
The little girl gently raised her hand and hugged the old man back.
Gao Qiu Sheng watched this scene with admiration. His own clever little kid was obviously stiff just now and was not familiar with the old man, but he still hugged him back to comfort him. It was really touching. What a kind and lovely child!
Gu Xiaobao poked his head out from behind Su Nianmei, looked at Huo Chengchuan, and asked, "What's wrong with mom?"
Huo Chengchuan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Zhong Qian pulled Su Nianmei and said to the old lady, "Grandma Ji, you have made a mistake. This person's surname is Su, her name is Nianmei, she is a wild girl from the countryside, not my aunt."
The old lady looked at the person who was speaking. She didn't like the noisy look of this girl from the Zhong family in the first place, and now she even dared to pull the clothes of her beloved child in front of her. She lowered her eyes.
He raised his hand, picked up the crutch, held Su Nianmei's hand and walked into the house, waving it twice as if unintentionally.
"Pa pa" all hit Zhong Qian's calves.
The old lady then switched to dialect and said, "So what if I came from the countryside? Didn't our Ji family also come from the countryside? Did the country people eat your city people's rice?"
Xin Qing: “…” You two really are a family.
The little girl loved beauty and wore a knee-length skirt, exposing her two white calves. Soon, two bars of swelling appeared on her calves. No matter how angry Zhong Qian was, he had to be patient and endure it.
The Ji family has always done things as they please, and the whole family pampers the old lady. She can't afford to go against the old lady for Su Nianmei, and it's not worth it.
Zhong Qian looked at the crowd and followed the old lady into the inner room.
Zhong Yi walked at the end with one hand in his pocket, and as he walked past, he deliberately glanced at his adopted sister.
Zhong Qian glared back viciously.
Looking embarrassed.
When they arrived at the inner lobby, Old Lady Ji insisted on pulling Su Nianmei to sit in the main seat. Su Nianmei waved her hands and explained to the old lady that she was not Ji Jiao.
Old Mrs. Ji held Su Nianmei's hand, feeling sad. Her poor child had been away for several years, and when she came back, she didn't even recognize her mother.
What a pity the children have to endure outside.
Mrs. Ji immediately picked up the chopsticks and picked up a few pieces of meat for her. She touched her hair and said, "Jiao'er, eat well. You have lost a lot of weight in these years outside."
Xin Qing sat at the outer table, looking at Su Nianmei's favored look, and said, "I wonder what gift Sister Su prepared for Old Madam Ji on her 80th birthday?"
The voice was loud, with the emphasis falling on the words "Sue" and "gift".
Gu Xiaobao shook his short legs and heard someone asking about the word "gift". He slid down from the bench and ran to Su Nianmei with the bag in hand.
With smiling eyes, he held the box in front of Old Mrs. Ji.
He first called Su Nianmei "Mom" before handing the gift to Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji, who had experienced many ups and downs over the years without changing her expression, trembled a little when she heard the word "Mom". Then she heard the baby calling her "Grandma" in a soft baby voice, and her hands were shaking when she took the box.
What a good day this was! Not only did he send his daughter back home after leaving for many years, but he also got a little grandson.
God is really watching over us!
Gu Xiaobao has had good meals recently, and his nutrition has been improved. His originally thin body has grown rapidly, but not vertically, but a little bit horizontally.
Gu Xichao always said that the little one needed to lose weight, and Su Nianmei protected the little one and said that the child was still growing.
Old Mrs. Ji pulled her beloved grandson into her arms, and her expression suddenly changed.
Her dear grandson...is a little heavier than she imagined.
Just... that... a little bit.
Old Mrs. Ji, who had lacked exercise for a long time, held Gu Xiaobao in her arms. Her legs were hurt by the pressure of his little butt, but she had a smile on her face.
Gu Xiaonaibao opened the gift box while looking at Old Lady Ji's reaction.
The Chinese have a tradition of opening gifts only after the guests have left, but Grandma Ji didn't care and let her obedient grandson open the box.
As soon as the box was opened, most people started to move, and they all looked eagerly towards Old Lady Ji's table, wanting to see what the gift from the girl who was in the spotlight today looked like.
I wish my parents could give me an extra pair of eyes.
The sharp eyes saw what was in the box - a ginseng.
It's hard to say about ginseng. Some are priceless, while some merchants even use radishes to fake it. In this situation, most people tend to favor the former.
Zhong Qian looked at the ginseng that Su Nianmei sent, and said with a fake smile: "This kind of ginseng is obviously inferior at first glance. How dare someone bring it to the old lady to embarrass herself."
As soon as the words fell, you could hear a pin drop in the room.
Huo Guangchuan squinted his eyes at the silly girl, wondering if her parents had given her an extra brain when they gave birth to her.
Zhong Yi watched her jump into the fire pit with joy.
Gu Xiaobao looked at Old Lady Ji and said, "Grandma, today is your birthday. Xiaobao and mom wish you good fortune and a long life. Although this gift is a little light, my mom taught me that 'a gift of a goose feather from a thousand miles away is more valuable than a token of love'. You must keep this gift, it is a token of our love."
Zhong Qian continued to say, "That won't do, Grandma Ji. Diseases come from the mouth. The quality of this ginseng is obviously not good. What if you eat this and get sick?"
Everyone took a breath. The Zhong family was a family that specialized in medicinal materials. The descendants of the Zhong family should have learned some skills in identifying medicines.
People's hearts were slightly shaken.
Huo Chengchuan nodded, and became even more certain that this girl's parents were biased and didn't give her a smart enough brain.
Ji Yun tried to smooth things over by saying, "You will definitely be fine if you eat the grandma that Sister Su sent you."
Look!
Is this what human beings say?
On the surface, he would definitely say that there would be no problem, but secretly he meant that it was not a good ginseng. This was a roundabout way of saying that the thing Su Nianmei gave was not good.
A man sitting in the corner of the banquet table curled his lips. How dare someone bully his little girl?
"I think this ginseng is not only real, but also top-quality ginseng!"
Everyone gasped. There really was someone who wanted to go against the Zhong family.
However, how could you, who was almost half the hall away, see what the ginseng looked like and keep saying it was top-grade ginseng?
The man walked out from the corner leisurely.
Gu Xiaobao's eyes lit up when he saw him.
The man blinked at Su Nianmei.
He continued, "Experts watch the excitement while laymen watch the doorway. There is a lot of knowledge in identifying ginseng. The best way to identify it is not by looking at it. Observing its appearance is one way, but judging its grade by smelling it is the best way."
"When I first opened the box, the ginseng smelled tasteless." The young man picked up the ginseng, put it close to his nose and sniffed it, "It has a faint fragrance."
The boy even held the box up for everyone around him to smell.
"Everyone, take a sniff. Is there a scent of the essence of all things? The fragrance of plants and trees, a subtle aroma floating in the air?"
Gradually, people recognized the identity of the young man at the table.
This... isn't this the newly recognized young master of the Qin family? The Qin family started out as a traditional Chinese medicine family, so they should be able to tell the authenticity right.
Everyone's hearts were diverted again.
"What do you think, Mr. Gao?" Qin Huai asked with a smile.
Gao Qiu Sheng, who was suddenly called, felt happy in his heart, it was finally his time to show his talent. Today his two clever little eggs were here, so he would not side with them but with anyone else.
Gao Qiu Sheng sat up straight, frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "According to ancient records, this is indeed true. This method of judging the level by smell is extremely rare, but it is undoubtedly true."
Zhong Qian: “…” I believed your lies!
At first, when the kid from the Qin family said that this ginseng was good, most people were skeptical. Now even Mr. Gao Qiu Sheng says that this ginseng is real, so it must be real.
Who is Mr. Gao? He was hired as a professor at Kyoto University when he was less than 20 years old. He was knowledgeable and well-informed but had a strange personality. He had a dream of educating talents, so he gave up college and devoted himself to the construction of basic education in the motherland. This was regarded as a good story at that time.
What he said must be right!
The way everyone looked at Su Nianmei also changed a little.
Su Nianmei blinked and looked at her ordinary ginseng, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Halfway through the lunch break, Ji Wenzhong, the second son of the Ji family, arrived. The man in his fifties exuded an elegant air.
Everyone was happy, thinking that there was someone with good vision coming to the Ji family and there would be a good show to watch.
Most of the people present knew who Ji Jiao was. She was the little ancestor that the old lady of the Ji family held in her hands for fear that she would melt. Unfortunately, she was born at the wrong time and died of an epidemic at the age of eighteen. The old lady had always refused to accept this fact, and over time, it became a demon in her heart.
The identity of that little girl is likely to be exposed.
So many people are waiting to watch the fun secretly.
Ji Wenzhong was no ordinary man. Before he arrived at the banquet, someone had already told him about the matter. As soon as he entered the banquet, he saw the girl sitting next to his mother.
picture!
So similar!
Especially the look with lowered eyebrows and low smile, he really looks like his sister Ji Jiao, as if they were carved from the same mold.
If Ji Jiao hadn't passed away early, he would have thought that the person in front of him was his sister's child.
cute! Petite! It's so painful!
He remained calm despite being criticized by everyone!
This child is obviously a child from the Ji family!
All the wording he had originally thought of was changed!
As soon as he saw Su Nianmei, he grabbed her arm and shouted, "Sister!"
Su Nianmei blinked and her heart skipped a few beats when a fifty-year-old business tycoon grabbed her arm and called her sister.
Ji Yun: “…” Her uncle might not have very good eyesight.
Everyone: “…” Maybe I’m blind, I saw a man in his fifties calling a teenage girl “sister”.
The author has something to say: If you are kidnapped, just blink!
Su Nianmei: "..." Blink!
