Chapter 8 Old classmates come to the banquet



After a while, three fashionably dressed women came to the hotel entrance with two boys about eight or nine years old.

"Si Mingda, congratulations!" At the main entrance of the hotel, they met the high-spirited Simingda.

When Simingda saw the three women, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Hey, Zhao Haitang, Lan Dujuan, Lin Moli, you're here!"

Zhao Haitang, Lan Dujuan, Lin Moli, Si Mingda and Wang Mudan are all classmates. They work in the neighboring city of Nanzuo and have agreed to come to the banquet together today.

Zhao Haitang wore glasses and had long hair. She exuded a gentle and elegant demeanor and a dignified and generous image. She smiled and said, "Si Mingda, now you have a son and a daughter. That's even better! You and Mudan are the happiest couple among our classmates, from campus lovers to model couples."

"Haha, Zhao Haitang, you're too kind. You are all very happy!" Si Mingda said with a rosy face. At this moment, he was in high spirits and the smile on his face was an expression of his true feelings.

"How can you be so lucky? I really envy you." Lan Dujuan complimented in a delicate voice. She was tall and slender, wearing a light purple long dress, with delicate heavy makeup on her face, a small floral silk scarf around her neck, and her long hair draped softly behind her back. Her every move and gesture exuded the style and temperament of a stewardess.

"Everyone is happy, hehe..." Si Mingda said with a smile, and his voice trembled slightly because he was too excited.

"Look, Simingda is so happy that his voice has changed." Lin Moli joked. She was the tallest among the three of them, 1.68 meters tall, and with her beautiful leather shoes with five-inch heels, she looked about the same height as Simingda.

"You, Lan Dujuan, Lin Moli and the children go in first. Wang Mudan and Qian Xingzi are waiting for you. We have plenty of time to reminisce tonight." Simingda said.

"Okay, let's go upstairs and talk later."

Zhao Haitang, Lan Dujuan and Lin Moli brought their children into the hotel lobby. They met Wang Mudan, Qian Xingzi and their children at the reception desk.

"Hi! Peony, Apricot, we're here."

"Haitang, Dujuan, Jasmine, you are here." Wang Mudan hurried forward to welcome the three female classmates.

"Mudan, you seem to have lost weight. Are you too tired from taking care of the children?" Zhao Haitang asked lovingly.

"Haha, right? We've all been through this. It's really hard to take care of a baby, not to mention that Mudan already has three children." Before Wang Mudan could speak, Qian Xingzi took over.

Qian Xingzi's husband's hometown is the same as Simingda's. After they came to Nanzhong City to work, they moved around for a while and ended up doing business in the same town. As classmates and fellow villagers, their two families had frequent interactions. Whenever they were free, Qian Xingzi and Wang Mudan would get together. Their relationship was much closer than that of other female classmates.

Wang Mudan's thin face looked a little haggard, but she was in a good mood. She smiled and said, "Yes, it was very hard during the confinement period, but it was okay with the help of a nanny at night. I was thin to begin with, so I recovered quickly after giving birth."

"Mudan, everything is going well now. You have a son and a daughter. It's a blessing in disguise." Lan Dujuan couldn't hide her envy of Wang Mudan on her face.

"Haha, thank you Du Juan, you and Jasmine can have another child!" Wang Mudan said enthusiastically.

"Oh, I don't want to have a baby anymore. It's too annoying to take care of a child." Lin Moli said with a pout. She was a person who pursued the enjoyment of life and was also good at dressing up. She had delicate foundation on her face, her eyebrows were drawn into thin and long shapes, her scalp was permed into big waves and bleached brown and draped neatly behind her shoulders. She was wearing a dark red long dress, which matched her tall and strong figure, making her look even more noble. Her son was ten years old and also came to the banquet today.

"I don't want to have a child either. I haven't worked for two years since my son was born. I almost lost touch with society. If I have another child, how will I have the chance to work? It's easy for you businessmen. You have free time and your family is not short of money. You can have as many children as you want. How can I compare with you?" Lan Dujuan seemed a little disappointed in addition to envy. Her son is seven years old this year and accompanied her to the banquet today.

"Well, yes, it's good to have someone to help take care of the children, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go to work at all." Qian Xingzi said that she has two sons who have always been taken care of by her husband's sister-in-law.

"Haitang, why didn't you bring your daughter?"

"He went to visit his father's relatives."

"Oh, it would be nice to come over and play together."

"Bring it to play next time we get together."

Zhao Haitang has a daughter who is also ten years old this year. She and Lin Moli got married the earliest, and their child is also the eldest among their classmates.

Wang Mudan looked at her phone and said, "You three should go upstairs and sit for a while. They should be here soon."

"OK."

Zhao Haitang took the child from Wang Mudan's arms and said with a smile, "Let me hold him for a while. We should thank the baby for giving us the opportunity to reunite with so many uncles and aunts today."

"Yes, it's been twelve years since we graduated. There are more classmates here today, and you three are the closest."

“I haven’t seen many of my classmates since graduation.”

"Liu Hanxiu, He Yumiao, Li Xiangcao, Zhang Yueji, Wu Taohua, Zhu Simei and others will all be here."

"Wow! That's great! Liu Hanxiu and He Yumiao, we haven't seen each other since graduation."

"Yes, Luo Yingtao will come too." Wang Mudan suddenly said a name meaningfully.

"What did you say? She will come too?" Luo Yingtao's name surprised Zhao Haitang and Lin Moli. They looked at each other, but soon remained calm. For them, this name was a bit sensitive in today's occasion and seemed inappropriate to mention.
