"Yeah, didn't I just say that?"
Chen Ruxue shook her head, "No!"
Just when Feng Mingzhu was about to say something else, Zhang Zhongjing suddenly interrupted her.
"Mingzhu, we're at the private room. Let's show the guests in and take their seats!"
"Yes, yes, please come in and take a seat."
Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan watched Ye's father and mother sit down before they sat down themselves.
Looking at the private room in front of her with a strong artistic atmosphere, Chen Ruxue couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Chinese aesthetics is full of charm!
I have to say that our ancestors had good taste. Look at this orchid, it’s so well-grown. It’s so elegant when placed on the corner stool!
Then she looked at the two pieces of calligraphy hanging on both sides of the private room. Although she didn't understand the pen movements and the pen shapes, she thought they were particularly beautiful.
Not only did she like it, but Zhang Zhongjing, who came in first, was also very happy when he saw the words hanging on the wall. He didn't expect that Lao Huang's calligraphy was actually authentic. It seemed that Lao Huang had lived a good life in recent years.
A few people were chatting with each other, of course Feng Mingzhu was doing most of the talking while the others were listening.
Gradually, the few of them began to get familiar with each other and talked more. In the end, everyone was talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
An hour later, Chef Huang finally brought his signature dish to the table.
"Director Zhang, take your time. I'm going to be out first. If you need anything, just call me."
"Master Huang, thank you for your hard work. Go and take a rest!"
"Xiaoxue, come and try this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. This is a recipe passed down from Master Huang's family, and it tastes very authentic.
And this braised sea cucumber is also very delicious, and that cabbage, don't underestimate it, its preparation is not simple, Haonan, Brother Ye and Sister Ye, you should also try it..."
Throughout the meal, Feng Mingzhu acted like a professional waiter, introducing each member of the Ye family to each other.
Later, Chen Ruxue couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Feng Mingzhu from serving her food. "Aunt Feng, I already have enough in my bowl. I can't eat any more."
Chen Ruxue's words were naturally polite. She could eat even another bowl.
At the end of the meal, Feng Mingzhu mustered up the courage to finally speak, "Xiaoxue, maybe it's a little presumptuous to say this now, but I want to ask you, can I acknowledge you as my goddaughter?
You don't know, the moment I saw you, I felt like you were my daughter. I'm unlucky, my daughter passed away at such a young age, so I wanted to find a memory for myself, or perhaps a place to rest my head.
"this……"
Chen Ruxue was in a bit of a dilemma at the moment. She actually never had a good impression of adopting a godparent.
Although she only called them godfather and godmother, she always felt something was weird.
Seeing that Chen Ruxue was still hesitating, Feng Mingzhu felt a little disappointed, but she did not mean to blame Chen Ruxue.
After all, if she were facing a stranger who suddenly appeared next to her, she would definitely not be willing to do this.
"It's okay, Xiaoxue, don't worry. Auntie was just mentioning it. Just think that your Uncle Zhang and I are not so lucky!"
Chen Ruxue: “…”
These words sound like gossip.
After thinking for another two seconds, Chen Ruxue finally stood up and picked up the white ceramic teapot. She poured a cup of tea for Feng Mingzhu, Zhang Zhongjing, and herself. "Godfather, godmother, I'll use water instead of wine to toast you two."
This sudden action shocked everyone at the table. No one expected her to do this out of the blue.
However, Feng Mingzhu was extremely happy after being surprised, and even couldn't help crying with joy, "Zhongjing, we have another daughter, it's great.
Come on, take out the gifts I prepared for my goddaughter and godchildren."
After saying that, Feng Mingzhu reached into Zhang Zhongjing's pocket and took out two small purse-style cloth bags.
He quickly pulled out a fine gold-inlaid jade bracelet, pulled Chen Ruxue's arm, and put it on her. "This bracelet was given to me as a dowry by my mother when I got married. I wish you good health and a happy life in the future."
Then, he took out two identical little gold lockets with bells and stuffed them into the arms of Tuan Tuan and Qiu Qiu. "I had these two little gold lockets made by a master before, but I never had the chance to give them away. Now they are ready, just right for Tuan Tuan and Qiu Qiu. I hope they are healthy, strong, and worry-free."
Finally, he took out a small gold bracelet and handed it to Ye's mother.
"This bracelet is for Dabao. Sister-in-law, please put it on the child quickly."
"No, this won't do. This bracelet is too valuable. You can't accept it." Mother Ye had never seen such a generous gift before. It was a gold bracelet, so she quickly stretched out her hand to refuse it.
Feng Mingzhu resolutely stuffed the bracelet into Ye's mother's hand, "Sister-in-law, this is a gift for the children. Tuan Tuan and Qiu Qiu have one, so why should Da Bao be left out?
Just accept it. From now on, we are a family. We are a family and we don’t have to talk behind each other’s backs. There is no need to distinguish between you and me.
Sister-in-law, if you don't accept it, you're really looking down on me and Zhong Jing!"
After hearing what she said, it seemed a bit unreasonable for Ye's mother not to accept it, so she could only accept it helplessly, "Then I will thank you on behalf of Dabao."
The meal lasted more than an hour before it was over.
When it came time to pay the bill, Feng Mingzhu was the first to pay, and Ye's father couldn't catch up even after jogging.
A group of people said goodbye to Master Huang and returned home in a mighty procession.
After such a long train ride, everyone was exhausted. After lighting the stove and feeding the child, the family went to bed early.
