Chapter 387 Royal Banquet Hall
When Xiao Shiqiu saw me turn around, he followed my gaze. When Deng Sisi saw him looking at her, she instantly turned into an innocent little white flower, biting her fingers and looking at him pitifully.
Xiao Shiqiu chuckled, retracted his gaze, lowered his head and whispered in my ear: "Your cousin is really not an easy person to deal with. If there is nothing important, you should come back less often."
My parents didn't notice this scene at all, their attention was attracted by the extended Phantom.
Facing this stretched Phantom, my mother had a complicated expression, as if she was thinking about something, but there was definitely no emotion like surprise or pride. Instead, she seemed a little distressed.
My dad, on the other hand, was completely different. He did not hide his smug look on his face. He walked around the car with an air of pride, afraid that the neighbors wouldn't see him getting in.
A neighbor who lived in a multi-story house passed by. The couple ran a bun shop. My dad rarely greeted them, but today he was particularly enthusiastic: "Lao Wang, have you eaten?"
Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, then stopped and replied with a smile, "It's just past four o'clock. Do you eat so early?"
Seeing my dad reaching out to open the car door, Uncle Wang's eyes widened, "Wow~ Lao Xia, this car is good, we haven't seen one in the city yet."
My dad was waiting for this sentence. He answered with full energy and a few notes higher in volume: "Haha, this car is okay, it's my son-in-law's car. Look, my son-in-law is planning to treat the whole family to a simple meal at the Imperial Banquet Hall."
After saying that, he got into the car contentedly. As long as Lao Wang's wife knew about what happened in our community, it was almost equivalent to the whole community knowing about it.
If this happened before liberation, he would at least be an intelligence officer.
Along the way, my father talked about this car with Xiao Shiqiu with uncontrollable excitement. If you didn't know, you would think he was planning to buy one too.
"Shiqiu, this car's suspension is really good. Look, I barely felt the shock absorbers when I passed the entrance to the residential complex just now."
"Shiqiu, this car has really good sound insulation. I can't even hear the engine noise, wind noise, or tire noise."
"Shiqiu, the backrest of this seat is much more comfortable than the one in my car. I don't feel any pain in my waist when I lean on it."
My father is at least a successful person in the eyes of others. It's really embarrassing to see him look so naive now.
Xiao Shiqiu responded with a good-tempered smile, and I began to regret letting him accompany me home in such a high-profile manner.
My mother was very silent, with an expressionless face and was lost in thought. I didn't know what she was thinking.
But I don’t care what she thinks now, as long as she doesn’t make me unhappy.
The Imperial Banquet Hall is not far from my community, only about twenty minutes' drive away. The restaurant is built in a wetland park in the urban area and is decorated in the style of the Tang Dynasty.
Since the average spending per person here is over 2,000, I only came here once, on my mom’s 40th birthday.
That time I posted a few photos on WeChat Moments, and Deng Sisi was very jealous when she saw them.
When she came to my house that weekend, Deng Sisi snuggled up to my mom and said pitifully, "Sister Mengmeng is so lucky to have grown up with my aunt. The money she spends on one meal is equivalent to my food expenses for more than two months."
This made my mother feel very guilty. She felt that she owed her something. She had originally agreed to replace my computer, but in the end she had to replace hers.
My mom thought I was showing off to Deng Sisi by posting on WeChat Moments, “Mengmeng, you’re too vain. You post on WeChat Moments even when you’re out eating. Isn’t that just showing off your wealth?
Mom can't tolerate your behavior. Your computer is not unusable. You can replace it after graduation."
