Chapter 784 (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingyan patiently sat down with them and chatted for more than an hour.
Around eight o'clock, he picked up the heavy pork ribs his eldest brother had given him, as well as a large bag full of fresh and juicy peaches, and happily set out on the journey home, holding his son Huo Yichen's hand.
As soon as he entered the house, Huo Qingyan hurriedly put the things in his hands gently on the ground. Before he could even take a breath, he couldn't wait to pull Song Jingjing to the room.
"Jingjing, let me tell you something. The day after tomorrow is my sister-in-law's 30th birthday! She's decided to have a four-table banquet at my parents' house to celebrate.
By the way, do you want to have a few tables for your birthday?" Huo Qingyan asked Song Jingjing with a smile on his face.
However, upon hearing this, Song Jingjing's face instantly darkened. She frowned and muttered unhappily, "Hmph, why did your sister-in-law have to hold a birthday banquet in my parents' yard? Your parents-in-law are really partial..."
Upon hearing this, Huo Qingyan hurriedly explained, "Oh, Jingjing, you misunderstood! There's no favoritism at all! In fact, it was my eldest brother who took the initiative to suggest setting up a few tables.
Originally, my eldest brother had planned to hold a grand banquet in the hospital cafeteria, setting up twenty tables of banquets to celebrate my eldest sister-in-law's birthday.
But my eldest sister-in-law thought that was too extravagant, so she didn't agree. After discussing it together, they finally decided to simply set up a few tables in my parents' yard and invite our family to have a meal together.
Besides, my eldest brother personally bought and prepared all the ingredients, so my parents didn't spend a penny!"
After Song Jingjing realized that she had wronged them, she couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly and said with a little embarrassment:
"Oh, look at my brain, I actually misunderstood and thought your parents were going to celebrate sister-in-law's birthday. It turns out it was my brother! But then again, he was really generous this time, setting up four tables of banquets at once. That must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Hearing this, Huo Qingyan's mouth curled up slightly, and he responded with a smile: "How much can it cost? By the way, didn't you keep asking me to buy you a women's bicycle?
How about this, instead of buying a car, we can just do what my eldest brother did and set up a few tables in my parents' yard to celebrate for you?"
Unexpectedly, Song Jingjing shook her head and pouted after hearing this, saying, "Qingyan, why are you so confused? What's the point of setting up several tables of banquets, but in the end, all the food goes into other people's stomachs?
I bought the bike and I ride it everywhere. I won't spend money to treat others to a lavish meal for no reason. It's a losing proposition!"
Song Jingjing muttered to herself, thinking that her sister-in-law was being too pretentious. Who would have to invite a bunch of unrelated people to dinner to celebrate their birthday? Wouldn't it be better to just celebrate quietly at home?
Seeing his wife's resolute disagreement, Huo Qingyan shook his head helplessly, but kindly reminded her again: "Okay, I've already reminded you. It's you who didn't want to do it. Don't say I treated you unfairly in the future."
Song Jingjing quickly hugged Huo Qingyan's arm and said coquettishly, "Humph, as long as you agree to buy me a bicycle and buy me some beautiful new clothes and shoes, I will be satisfied and grateful!"
"Okay, as long as you are happy." Huo Qingyan smiled helplessly.
Song Jingjing nodded with satisfaction, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said coquettishly: "Qingyan, when I turn 40, you must remember to buy me an imported watch!"
"Your 30th birthday hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already thinking about your 40th birthday? Aren't you thinking a little too far ahead?"
Song Jingjing said nonchalantly, "Why don't you wait until I'm forty and buy me a new watch this time?"
