Plates of grilled meat were served on the table.
We also prepared drinks and tea of various flavors, and the table was filled with various foods, so you can take whatever you want to eat.
Zhong Zijun, Liang Zhiqiu and Bai Jie were all of similar age and had common topics, so they sat down and chatted for a rare time. They kept praising each other's children.
The two fathers, Yun Run and Ji Linhai, could chat together while having a drink and eating the barbecue made by their sons.
Neither of them brought any guards with them today, so they had to take care of themselves.
Well, this barbecue smells really good. I don’t know how the kids came up with this idea, but it’s quite enjoyable to do it occasionally.
When Master Ji and Mr. Zhong Weiqian and his wife got together and looked at the young people in this room, they felt so happy and their lives were perfect.
The children held a chicken wing in their hands and chewed it like cats, while discussing some secret.
As the lights came on, Gu Qinghuan took out many lanterns and hung them under the corridor. The yard became hazy and the atmosphere became even better.
Hearing the doorbell, Wang Xiaowei hurried to open the door.
It turned out to be Xiao Zhuo and his mother!
Xiao Fengying arrived at the sound first.
"Xiao Qinghuan, what's wrong? Have you stopped associating with me after moving? For such a complicated matter, you didn't even bother to invite me to dinner! I had no choice but to come uninvited." Xiao Fengying joked.
Gu Qinghuan hurried over and said, "Aunt Xiao, it's nothing. I'm just afraid of bothering you. It's nothing. You've spent money."
"You are too modest. I heard that you two did very well in the exam. One of you is the top scorer in the city, and the other is the top scorer. You are worthy of being from the Zhong family. You are outstanding!"
Xiao Fengying and Xiao Zhuo had bags of things in their hands and had nowhere to put them.
Gu Qinghuan quickly signaled Wang Xiaowei to take it away, and then invited the mother and son to take their seats.
"I brought a few bottles of wine. Let them open a fire to liven up the party later!" Xiao Fengying pointed to the things in the bag.
"Xiao Wei, go open the wine."
Gu Qinghuan nodded and asked Wang Xiaowei to do it.
Zhong Zijun and the others had met Xiao Zhuo before, but had not met Xiao Fengying yet.
Gu Qinghuan had no choice but to act as an introducer.
"This is Dr. Xiao's mother, Ms. Xiao Fengying. We used to live close to each other and often played together." After that, Gu Qinghuan briefly introduced Xiao Fengying to everyone in the family.
As expected of Xiao Fengying who had been abroad, she was very open-minded and started chatting with Zhong Zijun and Bai Jie in just a few words.
Don't worry about Qinghuan at all.
Zhong Zijun thought that Xiao Zhuo would be Gu Qinghuan's teacher in the future, so she had to treat her daughter's grandmother with some care, so she warmly invited her to sit down.
Although Bai Jie had never met Xiao Fengying, she knew that Xiao Zhuo had done Luo Xi a favor, so she was polite to Xiao Fengying.
Seeing the two men's attitude towards her, Liang Zhiqiu naturally started chatting with her.
"I really envy a family like yours. You have everything. But now you have nothing. You can't have fun even if you want to.
In the past few years since I returned to China, the few lively parties I had were all hosted by your family. It was so comfortable. I like this style. "
Xiao Fengying didn't hesitate to sit down on the chair and picked up a skewer of roasted lamb.
Seeing her so relaxed, as if she were at home, Zhong Zijun also smiled.
Xiao Zhuo really doesn't look like his mother.
However, Xiao Fengying's familiarity didn't make me feel bored, it was quite interesting.
They started chatting enthusiastically.
Since they all came from good families, were well-fed, and had similar personalities and hobbies, we had a very pleasant chat.
Xiao Zhuo glanced at Zhong Luoxi who was sitting next to the children, then wanted to look at Gu Qinghuan: "Congratulations, you got what you wanted."
Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands and said, "Doctor Xiao, I'll call you teacher from now on, so you have to be lenient with my men!"
She must study psychology. Xiao Zhuo is a professor in the psychology department, and she will rely on him for support in the future.
Xiao Zhuo also made a rare joke: "It depends on the situation!"
Gu Qinghuan pretended to be angry and whispered, "Some people still want to be my brother-in-law, but you don't even give me this little face!"
When Xiao Zhuo heard this, he felt like an ant on a hot pot. He wanted to reach out and cover Gu Qinghuan's mouth, but he felt something was wrong and took his hand back.
How did she know that she liked Zhong Luoli?
Gu Qinghuan rolled his eyes helplessly. He didn't know whether to say this guy was innocent or stupid.
Lian Heqiang knows that if you like a girl, you have to show it, say it, and give her gifts to please her.
He who is close to water gets the moon first. He has known Zhong Luoqing for such a long time and they meet frequently, but there is still no progress. He is really a blockhead.
If she doesn't give them a helping hand, the two of them might have no chance of being together.
After knowing each other for so long, Xiao Zhuo is a good person. At least for Zhong Luoqing, he is a good choice.
So Gu Qinghuan thought they could be a matchmaker, but whether it would work out or not was up to them.
"You, if you want to be my brother-in-law, you'd better work harder. I heard from my aunt that she is planning to find a chance to introduce a boyfriend to my sister." Gu Qinghuan deliberately fanned the flames to make Xiao Zhuo feel anxious.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhuo's face changed when he heard this.
"real?"
"If you don't believe me, forget it. If your sister is chased by someone else, don't regret it." Gu Qinghuan looked serious and was very happy in his heart.
After lighting a fire for Xiao Zhuo, Gu Qinghuan leisurely took a handful of skewers in his hand and ate while taking care of the family.
Yun Jiuzhou and Gu Lanting had almost finished grilling so they came over to eat and drink together.
The family has already started drinking Xiao Fengying's red wine. Although it is a bit inappropriate to pair red wine with barbecue, it is still a happy experience.
Today, except for a few children, everyone in the family drank some wine, and the atmosphere was great, and we were happy!
"Let's raise our glasses together and congratulate Qinghuan and Lanting, the brother and sister, for getting their names on the imperial examination and having a bright future ahead of them." Xiao Fengying was indeed a master at creating an atmosphere, and with just one voice she pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate.
The parent Zhong Weiqian also stood up and said: "Ten years of hard work will eventually pay off. When your name is on the list of successful candidates, children, set sail. May your life shine from now on."
Gu Lanting shed a tear without realizing it and wiped it quietly with his sleeve.
The horse gallops in the spring breeze, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
Ten years of hard study without any questions, one move made you famous all over the world.
His mood has been very up and down today. There were too many crossroads in his life. Fortunately, he was lucky and seized every opportunity to get to where he is today.
Ming Ruxue quietly held his hand, as if to cheer him up.
