Chapter 191 Whose Heart is More Suffering
After dinner, Han Jiaojiao lit mosquito coils in the yard, sprayed floral water, and sprayed mosquito repellent on her legs and arms.
Now that everything is ready, you can enjoy the breeze and watermelon in the yard without worry.
Everyone gathered in the yard to eat watermelon. Yan Han and Sun Quan sat by the door. Everyone sat in a row in groups of two or three, chatting as if they were at the gate of a rural village.
Tang Shuang wrote more than 30 dishes, and after discussion, everyone selected 12 dishes.
Tang Shuang said, "The dishes have been chosen, and the next thing is the people. I roughly calculated that there are about 60 to 70 people, plus their families, there are probably 200 people. We may not be able to accommodate them in our yard!"
Shen Junshan was surprised: "More than 200 people? Not really?"
Sun Quan said, "Grandpa Gu is with our family. He has some old comrades and some working juniors, about 30 people in total. My dad's side is about the same, including grandma and mom's colleagues and friends, and Aunt Du Ling's boss. More than 200 people is not considered a small number."
Shen Junshan frowned: "Aren't you afraid of being investigated for being so high-profile?"
The most important thing is that the reason they opened the banquet was very strange.
Normally, people have banquets for weddings and funerals, but they are holding a banquet to recognize their ancestors, and the reason is very strange.
Han Jiaojiao said, "My dad and your grandpa are trying to pave the way for us. It won't hurt if you work harder and get to know some people first, but there's no need to get too close. People who try to get close to you either want to take advantage of you or ask you for favors. You can only tell a person's true character after spending a long time with them."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you don't like someone, don't get involved. Being happy is the most important thing."
Han Jiaojiao stuffed the half-eaten melon into Shen Junshan's hand.
She took the watermelon from his hand and bit off the tip of it.
Shen Junshan finished eating the rest of the melon, nibbling the rind clean and placing it in a small bowl next to him.
She wanted to stir-fry the watermelon rinds tomorrow, so she ate two more pieces of watermelon under the pretext of doing so.
Yan Han smiled and said, "Jiao Jiao is right. There is no need to cater to anyone. After all, you two are both our children. If you were asked to cater to everyone you meet and try to make friends with them, then we old folks would have worked for nothing for decades!"
"but!"
Han Jiaojiao added: "Some butterflies and bees like to stick to flowers, so you have to be careful!"
Shen Junshan was stunned for a moment, and replied after a while: "I am a flower?"
"What else! You are so beautiful, could it be a leaf?"
"Junshan, I'm telling you seriously, girls nowadays are very aggressive, they will jump on anything good they see. You need to stand firm and don't just go with the flow when you get stung by a bee!"
Although Shen Junshan seemed to be living a peaceful life, his heart was throbbing with blood vessels bursting.
In the past, he wouldn't care if others praised his good looks, but now that he was with his wife's family, Shen Junshan felt embarrassed by the compliments.
Han Jiaojiao saw how serious and shy he was, and she swore silently in her heart.
If any butterfly dares to collect nectar, she will make it into a specimen!
Han Jiaojiao suddenly thought of what happened last night and felt angry and annoyed.
She barely remembers...
"No, we need to communicate properly! Come with me!"
Shen Junshan was dragged away by her before he finished eating his watermelon.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen Junshan's mood was indescribable...
Tang Shuang and Sun Yong finalized the guest list in the evening, and asked their family members to write dozens of lists together.
Han Fang's handwriting is very beautiful, and he also helped write a lot.
Tang Shuang said with emotion: "Afang is really amazing, it's a pity that Jiaojiao and Junshan are busy, otherwise we can finish it in the evening."
"My brother-in-law's handwriting is beautiful, but my sister's is not good. It will scare the guests!"
“Is it so ugly?”
Tang Shuang felt a little worried.
It must be because he was not raised by her side, and he did not receive a good education since he was a child following that vicious woman.
I guess I never even touched a pencil when I was a kid;
That's why I missed the best time to write.
Tang Shuang felt extremely upset when he thought of this, and he wished he could dig up the grave of that vicious woman and kill her again!
When Sun Qianqian returned home, Yan Han could no longer hold on and went upstairs to sleep first.
Sun Quan and others were still sitting in the dining room writing invitations.
She glanced around: "Where's Jiaojiao?"
"I'm busy upstairs with Junshan. Maybe after a while, Mom and Dad will be able to hold their grandchildren."
Sun Quan ignored Sun Qianqian's embarrassed expression and handed her a few invitations: "Sit down and write a few together. Dad will take some to send to the people in the unit tomorrow, and I will give some to Grandpa Gu."
"Invitation? Whose is it?"
Sun Qianqian's eyes were full of anticipation, but immediately dimmed the next second.
Tang Shuang smiled and said, "Many people don't know about Jiaojiao and Junshan. To avoid misunderstandings in the future, we will hold a banquet in two days and introduce them to everyone. Then we will find a way to transfer their household registration here. In the future, we will all be together and can take care of each other if something happens!"
Sun Qianqian smiled and said, "Yes, I really need to introduce myself to you."
Tang Shuang didn't notice Sun Qianqian's expression, but Sun Yong noticed it.
Sun Yong said, "Xixi, Jiaojiao just came back. We can't make up for all the hard work and family happiness we've had over the years in a short time. This has nothing to do with her. It's purely out of the care of our parents."
"There's no need for you to feel awkward. After all, we've been separated for almost twenty years, and we want to make up for those twenty years."
Only then did Tang Shuang notice Sun Qianqian.
In the two days since Jiaojiao came back, all her attention has been on Han Jiaojiao, and she didn't ask Sun Qianqian's opinion.
Tang Shuang explained: "Xixi, you are also our daughter. Everything is the same as before. It's just that Jiaojiao has been alone for too long. You should understand our feelings."
I don’t understand and I don’t want to understand!
There was a voice in Sun Qianqian's heart shouting, but what she said out loud were different words.
"Of course I understand. Jiaojiao has been wandering around for many years, and I finally found her. Of course I want to make up for the regrets I've had over the years."
"Jiaojiao and Afang are my brothers and sisters, and I want to do my best to treat them well."
"Afang, can I take you out to play tomorrow?"
Sun Qianqian stretched out her hand to him, but Han Fang didn't want to hold her hand.
But seeing the expectant eyes of his uncle and aunt, Han Fang compromised.
He held Sun Qianqian's hand and said, "Where are we going tomorrow?"
"I'll take you to see some ancient sites. You'll like them."
Sun Quan: "Then I'll drive you there. By the way, Xixi, why did you come back so late? Do you have classes or surgery tonight?"
Sun Qianqian shook her head: "I went to Aliang's house."
When Sun Yong heard that they went to Gu Youxin's house, his face immediately fell.
Sun Qianqian thought: "Dad, I have something to tell you, can we talk alone?"
"If you're talking about your relationship with Gu Liang, then there's nothing to talk about. I didn't stop you. If you're asking for mercy for Gu Youxin, then forget it. I won't buy it!"
Sun Qianqian's face turned pale, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to die...
