Crystal pork elbow

As expected, besides my second uncle's family, there were also relatives from my mother's side who came from the countryside. However, there were not many people and they could just fill one table.

Song Dongdong handed the gift to his nephew and was extremely envious of their car. However, with his height, it was too cramped for him to sit in it, let alone drive.

Song Shixia laughed helplessly, "This is a children's toy car. At your age, you can only drive a car when you are an adult."

Song Dongdong gestured with his hand.

"I will definitely buy a big one, like the truck my brother drives."

Song Shixia was speechless at his brother's aesthetics.

"As long as you are happy."

The day after Song Dongdong arrived, his friend called him to inform him that he had passed the exam. Three people from two classes in the town were admitted to high school, and he owed them a favor of ten cents for this.

Song Dongdong's face flushed red.

"Sister! Brother-in-law! I passed the exam! I got into high school!"

Song Shixia was quite surprised. After all, Song Dongdong's performance in the last semester was very shaky, and he also earned money from his classmates in his spare time. He was not at all focused on studying. The fact that he was able to pass the exam like this only showed that he was smart, but not in the right way.

Song Shixia clapped her hands enthusiastically, "Great! I said before that I would give you a reward if you were admitted to high school. This is valid at any time."

Ji Weiqing rewarded him with an expensive pen after praising him.

Song Dongdong's admission to high school was beyond the expectations of everyone in the family. It's not that he was not capable, but his grades were not outstanding in the class. Sometimes his scores were so poor that his parents would be called in for questioning. Unexpectedly, he would perform exceptionally well in the high school entrance examination.

Song Dongdong feels more energetic when he is happy, and he walks with his back straighter.

Han Rong failed to book a private room, and there were too many guests and the room couldn't accommodate them, so the banquet had to be held in the hall on the second floor.

Song Shixia had no objection, just remember which tables theirs were.

There were many guests at this graduation banquet. All the relatives and friends of the Ji couple were notified, and those who were missed would take the initiative to call and ask when the banquet would be held.

This is the number one in science! In ancient times, the number one scholar was the god of literature. How can families with children not share in this joy?

Han Rong prepared eight tables at once, and the couple invited all their contacts.

Song Shixia saw many familiar old acquaintances in the crowd. She often met them at school. They were all Ji Weiqing's colleagues.

What surprised Song Shixia the most was that there were two banquet tables on the second floor, which were Yu Fang's wedding banquet.

This is really a coincidence that the mother opened the door for coincidence, and coincidence came home.

Before Yu Fang set the date, she didn't know that today was Song Shixia's graduation banquet. If she had known, she would not have chosen today to embarrass herself.

The four meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes, two cold dishes and one soup on the table in front of her were very simple. She was originally smug in her heart that her second wedding banquet was better than others' first weddings. Who knew that she would have such bad luck to run into the Ji family.

Look at the shark fin, bird's nest, abalone and bear's paw on the table next door. I'm afraid that Uncle Ji and Aunt Han have used up all their savings to host the banquet.

Yu Fang could only comfort herself in her heart that it was just to save face, after the banquet, the neighbors might have to eat coarse food for every meal.

It's just that she can control herself, but she can't control the gazes and voices of her classmates.

"Look at that table. What kind of family is this?"

Old Mrs. Yu was also happy.

"This is a graduation party held by my neighbor for his daughter and daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law is from the countryside, and unexpectedly she got the top score in the imperial examination. This country girl is really amazing."

"Wow, we actually made it to the top scholar's graduation banquet. How about going to toast him?"

Yu Fang clenched her fists under the table, and despite looking extremely embarrassed, she forced a smile.

The husband beside her didn't understand at all, but stood up to toast the neighbor.

Yu Fang forced herself to smile and congratulated the person she hated the most on her academic success. You can't even describe how upset she felt inside.

Song Shixia couldn't help laughing when she saw Yu Fang's face full of humiliation. Her mother-in-law didn't mean to go against the neighbors. They only realized the situation after they entered the hotel and saw the family next door.

Yu Fang was getting married for the second time, so she invited relatives and friends from both sides to the wedding banquet, but did not invite neighbors. Han Rong brought a bunch of meat as a gift to the neighbor, but both sides tacitly agreed not to mention the wedding banquet.

Second marriages are very low-key, and Han Rong thought that the man next door would just let Yu Fang marry without holding a wedding. Who knew that the man was quite grand and booked two tables for Yu Fang at the Capital Hotel, which must have cost a lot of money.

If we hadn't bumped into each other, no one would have noticed such a coincidence, it was just the table next to us.

Han Rong asked Song Shixia to eat more dishes, as the Capital Hotel could not be booked whenever one wanted, so the better to eat as much as possible during today's banquet.

Yu Fang sat back in her seat, and it took a long time for the resentment in her heart to subside. Just now, Ah Qing looked at her with a sense of distance and unfamiliarity, and they had grown up together but he didn't show her any mercy.

Yu Fang's husband was chatting with the guests, and they were talking about Song Shixia in all their conversations, which made Yu Fang feel upset.

From time to time, there were children looking at the next table with envy, which made Yu Fang feel uncomfortable. However, the worst thing had just begun.

Halfway through the banquet, two half-grown children suddenly came and started crying to their husbands about how poor they were.

Yu Fang recognized the two children, they were the children of her husband and his ex-wife. That woman liked to use the two children to get money from her ex-husband. She had finally brought the man back on track, but who were these two children showing off to at her wedding in tattered clothes?

Song Shixia was busy eating her food while eavesdropping on the gossip from next door.

Han Rong pretended not to notice and piled the food into her daughter-in-law's bowl.

The relatives of the Song family who were sitting at the same table were extremely surprised. There were no such good mothers-in-law in the countryside. Countryside mothers-in-law liked to torture their daughters-in-law to suffer the same hardships they had experienced in their youth. They had never seen a city mother-in-law pamper her daughter-in-law so much.

This mother-in-law dotes on her daughter-in-law more than her own son. Who wouldn't be jealous? The young girl at the table envied Song Shixia's good fortune. She had never worked in the fields at home. When she grew up, she went to the city to work and married a man who was a university teacher. She went back to school and passed the college entrance examination. She was so lucky.

Although the man has two children, they are cute, sensible, obedient, well-educated and sweet-spoken. They are different from the naughty monkeys in the countryside who play in the mud naked all day long. Song Shixia doesn't have to worry about taking care of the children at home.

Song Shixia's mother-in-law also has a little daughter, but there is no conflict between the sister-in-law and sister-in-law. It seems that the sister-in-law also has a good relationship with Song Shixia.

Look how harmonious this family is. The old couple are retired and receive pensions. They don’t have to go to work every day and can help take care of their grandchildren. Song Shixia’s life will only be better in the future.

Song Shixia didn’t know what her relatives were thinking, but the crystal pork elbow she ate was delicious.

Aunt Feng and Chen Jiao sat at the next table, eating and chatting, discussing going to apply for night school together in September. Chen Jiao's husband and children followed them, and she felt embarrassed and didn't talk to Song Shixia much.

Huo Kai ate his meal absentmindedly, his eyes constantly glancing into the distance. He didn't expect to see his ex-wife at today's banquet.

Li Mengxuan didn't want to go out today, but her cousin found a neighbor of the Ji family as his second marriage partner, so she wanted to build a good relationship with Yu Fang. She knew the power of the Ji family a long time ago. Although Mr. Ji looked like an ordinary old man, as long as he said a word in front of her leader, she would be able to rise to prominence in the future.

Although Master Ji has retired, he has trained many people, and her leader was once Master Ji's subordinate.

Li Mengxuan always felt that someone was looking at her. She looked up and found that it was her indecisive ex-husband and her two children whom she had not seen for a long time.

Since her remarriage, she has not been pregnant and has been unable to conceive. The reason she was able to marry the factory director's son was largely because she had given birth to two children and thought she could have children.

Li Mengxuan actually wanted to tell her father-in-law and his family to look for the problem with her son. After all, her husband's ex-wife had never been pregnant either, and was scolded as a hen that could not lay eggs.

Before marriage, she was confident that she could control the son of the factory director. After marriage, she saw the true face of her husband under his gentle appearance. Li Mengxuan just wanted to get close to the Ji family and escape from the sea of ​​suffering. The title of the factory director's daughter-in-law sounded decent, but she was beaten and scolded every now and then. Thinking of her husband at home, she couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing his ex-wife get up, Huo Kai quickly got up and pretended to go to the bathroom.

Chen Jiao thought her husband was very strange, but she did not think much about it, thinking that he might be looking for an opportunity to establish a good relationship with Professor Ji.

Professor Ji had taught Huo Kai advanced mathematics, but it was a large classroom and it was said that there were three classes taking the class together, so Huo Kai's attempt to make friends with him might fail.

Chen Jiao asked Song Shixia, Professor Ji only had some sporadic memories of Huo Kai, and those memories came from his colleagues, not his students.

Hawke quickly caught up with him.

"Mengxuan, what a coincidence."

Ever since Li Mengxuan saw her ex-husband, a plan suddenly came to her mind.

"Hokkai, why are you here too?"

Huo Kai explained the whole story to Li Mengxuan, and it was effortless for her to understand. It turned out that she just needed to start from Huo Kai.

Huo Kai's wife is actually a good friend of Professor Ji's wife. Isn't this even easier? There's no need to deal with my cousin's wife.

My cousin’s wife looks like a mean girl. Li Mengxuan doesn’t like such a miserable-looking woman, as she looks like she will bring bad luck to her husband.

"Hokkai, I know I don't have the face to ask you for help now, but I really can't stand it anymore."

Li Mengxuan pulled up her sleeves and Huo Kai realized that Li Mengxuan was wearing a shirt in the middle of summer. She didn't look like his ex-wife at all.

Even in the countryside, Li Mengxuan had to wear skirts in the summer, but now after remarrying, she dresses so conservatively.

What shocked him even more was the scar under Li Mengxuan's sleeve.

Huo Kai was incredulous, "He was the one who beat me?"

Li Mengxuan had tears in her eyes.

"Well, he is not a human being. He likes to drink all the time, and he hits me after drinking. I know why. His ex-wife didn't give birth to a child after being married to him for five years. I have been married to him for such a long time and there is no news at all. Do you remember that I got pregnant when we just got married? So this is his problem. He can't let a woman have children, so he is mentally abnormal and hurts me."
