Latest URL: The old man took two sips of wine, after the embarrassing incident just now passed. Only then did he bring up the matter of the ceremony just now.

"Xiao Chuan, it's a new society now, and we don't want to do those nonsense things, just follow the situation on your side as you go."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan pondered for a while.

The old man's style of doing things is really too cautious, just worried about accidents. The other party's second sister-in-law and fourth brother were talking just now, but the old man stopped him.

It stands to reason that when Zhou Xiaochuan met for the first time, no matter how expensive he brought, it could not replace the gift. The reason why he said that was because he knew Zhou Xiaochuan's energy.

Worried about what embarrassing things my son and daughter-in-law might say.

This person, after reaching a high position, it will be difficult to look down at things. At that time, it will not be the faces of the two of them, but the face of his old man Xiao.

Zhou Xiaochuan understood what the other party meant, and was about to nod in response.

But there are always things that can't be seen clearly, the second sister-in-law of the Xiao family suddenly said at this time:

"Xiaohe! If you have time, let your sixth brother take you to the fourth floor of the department store to see what Yaomei likes. Just buy something if you like it."

In fact, if this is said in an ordinary family, it is nothing.

Seven aunts and eight aunts, sister-in-law, and sister are used to say things that elders and men are embarrassed to say. But with the old man setting the tone, it's a bit inappropriate for her to say that.

Wedding supplies can be bought in department stores. Since they have to go up to the fourth floor, they must be some in-demand items that cannot be bought in the market.

There are no three golds of later generations, it is some jewelry, or foreign products that are in short supply. Neither is cheap.

Sister Xiao Meimei looked at her second sister-in-law and shook her head helplessly.

She wanted to say something, but at this time, she was a daughter to be married, so she couldn't say it.

He casually picked up a piece of shrimp and handed it to Qin Xiao, "Come on, sister Xiaoxiao, eat some shrimp! Xiaohe said you love fish and shrimp! I specially asked someone to keep it."

Qin Xiao smiled and said thank you.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaohe looked at everyone, and then at his brother, but didn't say anything. Especially my brother doesn't even look at me.

He squinted at the wine to himself.

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I've prepared that...thing! It was supposed to be for Meimei before the wedding." After speaking, he took out a box.

Put it in front of Xiao Meimei, "Open it and have a look!"

The other party was surprised when he heard the words, he didn't expect that he really prepared something. Even without her I don't care.

But she was naturally happy again.

She blinked and glanced at Zhou Xiaohe, then smiled and said, "Then don't worry? Just give it to me when the time comes."

The main reason is that Zhou Xiaohe is trying to save face. I'll be back in a while, and we'll discuss it then.

Old man Xiao's complexion was not so good at this time, and the second daughter-in-law also saw her father-in-law's complexion and dared not say anything.

But Zhou Xiaohe didn't know if he really didn't see the old man's face, or it was intentional. Open the thing directly.

He smiled and said, "Try!"

Seeing what was inside, Xiao Meimei blinked her eyes.

Instead of picking up the contents, he asked Xiaohe, "Is this jadeite? It's similar to the second sister-in-law's. How much did you spend?"

When Zhou Xiaohe heard her words, he secretly glanced at his brother.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaochuan was expressionless and not angry, he said, "Don't worry about how much it is, you can take it if it is given to you, and it will be troublesome to give it to you again. Try it!"

At this time, his expression was grinning.

But I have already decided in my heart that unless there are special matters in the future, I will resolutely not have too many contacts with these people. Tired and flustered!

The second sister of Xiao's family next to her also admired, "Sister Yao, this is not a matter of money, this quality is no longer available for purchase."

After speaking, he looked at his second sister-in-law: "Second sister-in-law, the two of us are only wearing jelly seeds,

It can barely rub the edge of the high ice species, but the color is different.

This little sister is a glass species, and it is the highest-grade emerald in it. Empress Dowager Cixi liked this quality of jade the most. "

Second Wife Xiao heard the words and took a look.

Quietly covered the jade bracelet exposed by his cuff.

Those who have bought this thing naturally understand a little bit, although they don't understand it very well, but they can still clearly distinguish the good from the bad.

He just smiled sourly: "Little sister is really lucky! I don't even have this, let Xiao Ce see if he can find one for me someday."

The second sister smiled when she heard this.

If you can buy it, are you still willing to buy the thing in your hand?

Seeing this, Xiao Meimei was worried that there would be another dispute, so she hurriedly put away her things. Smiling to Zhou Xiaohe, "I'll put this away first, and wear it after a while."

Zhou Xiaohe didn't mean to be aggressive either. nodded.

After Xiao Meimei put away the things, the old man Xiao at the front desk suddenly said: "The second one, Xiaokang is patronizing and playing, you go and feed him."

As soon as these words came out, several people fell silent.

It means that you don't eat here, go down!

The second sister-in-law Xiao's face turned pale when she heard the words, she faltered, and finally nodded, stood up and went to take the child. This is the father-in-law going to lose his temper.

Then he took the child to the next room.

After the people had left, Old Man Xiao smiled at Zhou Xiaochuan and said, "You're laughing! Come on, let's go." Zhou Xiaochuan naturally didn't care that much.

Everything is Zhou Xiaohe's own choice. If you are willing, then if any ugly things happen in the future, you can solve it by yourself, and if you can't solve it, you can bear it.

But he could also tell that Xiao Meimei's elder brother and elder sister treated Xiao Meimei well. He really can't see his brothers crossing the wall, and brothers and sisters are still fighting each other.

This is the most chilling.

Although this situation is very common in this world.

What happened just now is over, and no one mentioned it again. At the dinner table, the old man was talking about the past wars.

Everyone else was there listening.

However, it is estimated that only Zhou Xiaochuan and Xiaohe listened carefully, because the others were already tired of listening. After speaking, he patted himself on the shoulder.

"In 50 years of military career, I have never suffered a single injury!"

After the old man finished speaking, he muttered with a sad face: "Hey, I'm fine, but my brothers have left a lot!" Hearing his words, several people were silent.

The men present, except for Zhou Xiaochuan, had all been on the battlefield, so they naturally understood that human life was worthless in that situation.

Just after the old man drank three cups of wine, Dr. Liu who was next to him came directly to take away his wine cups. In fact, I drank three coins, half of which was less than two.

Old man Xiao was a little dissatisfied, "I know my body, and I can drink some."

Since I got sick, I haven't drunk half a ounce of this wine, which makes the feeling of drinking alcohol not enjoyable at all. But today I feel comfortable drinking this wine.

Still want to drink.

But Doctor Liu next to him ignored him, and after taking away the wine cup, he returned to the side again. He didn't speak, just watched quietly.

As for the children, they dare not give the old man wine.

The old man's body is no longer his own, nor his children's, but the country's. Seeing that he couldn't win the other party, old man Xiao sighed, "It's boring!"

Then he turned his head and said to Xiao Lao Liu: "Lao Liu, I'll be with you today." Hearing this, Lao Liu laughed: "Don't worry, Dad!"

Alcohol is usually prohibited in the army, and you can only drink a little once in a while, but you can't drink too much, so you have to drink enough today. As long as you don't get drunk it's fine.

He raised his wine glass and smiled at Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohe;

"Come on, Dad is not in good health, let's drink, Xiaohe, I have an agreement with you. My younger sister's temper is not very good. If she makes a mistake, our brothers and sisters will speak for you, but

It's you who want to bully her, we can't get around you! "

Xiao Meimei glanced at him with resentment: "Brother, how can you say that about your sister." The others all laughed when they heard the words.

This made Zhou Xiaochuan think of Xiaomi at home, who is also the one who is not worried.

But watching the other party drink like a cow chewing peonies, Zhou Xiaochuan felt that it was too wasteful, so he didn't explain too much, just said: "Brother Xiao Liu, this wine is medicinal wine, the old man should drink it!"

Hearing this, Xiao Laoliu glanced at the wine glass curiously. Smell it, "Doesn't it smell?"

The others didn't say anything, but the face of Dr. Liu next to him changed.

Old man Xiao saw the other person's face and saw that he was going to speak, so he waved it with one hand quietly, and Doctor Liu held back his words. Zhou Xiaochuan saw this scene.

Knowing that the other party is worried, after all, the old man is still taking medicine, if there is something in the wine that conflicts with the medicine, it will be a big deal.

A jar of 5 catties of wine drained a catty and a half, Xiao Lao Liu took a look and decided to switch to Moutai. However, Moutai, which was comfortable to drink before, always feels like something is missing when I drink it now.

After two bottles of wine, everyone was almost done drinking. One person is eight or nine taels, not too drunk, just right.

After eating, today's business is almost over. The old man returned to the study under the urging of Dr. Liu. Zhou Xiaochuan felt that it was meaningless to stay here, so he prepared to leave.

Seeing Qin Xiao and Xiao Meimei chatting and laughing, he smiled happily, finally showing a smiling face. When everyone heard that he was leaving, Xiao Meimei went to inform the old man.

The old man came out of the study and smiled at him; "I'm a bit neglected today, let's get together next time when we have a chance."

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words: "Okay, when we have a chance later. Father, let's go first!" "Meimei, please give it to me."

"Okay, Dad!"

After saying hello, a few people left the compound.

When they came to the door, Zhou Xiaohe and the two brothers stood together, while Xiao Meimei laughed and asked Qin Xiao to go to the department store tomorrow. Zhou Xiaochuan cast a glance at the two of them, but said nothing.

It would be nice if the other party can take Qin Xiao out for a stroll, so let's take it easy.

Then he turned to Zhou Xiaohe and said, "Go back and talk to the old man later~lightnovelpub.net~ Without me, things can't be done there. But they have to cover for me about my work."

Looking at Zhou Xiaohe's puzzled expression, he confessed: "You can just say it like this, the old man understands what it means."

Zhou Xiaohe gave a soft 'Oh' and nodded, "Okay. I see. Will you go to work tomorrow? I can stay here for two more days."

"I have a meeting tomorrow."

When Zhou Xiaochuan was talking, he heard Qin Xiao reluctantly agreed, and said, "You let Xiao Meimei take your sister-in-law to relax, and I will pay for it."

"Brother, what you said is too natural!" Zhou Xiaohe glanced at him angrily.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I see, you go in, we'll go back first." After speaking, he turned to Qin Xiao and shouted: "Xiaoxiao, go home."

Hearing this, the other party exchanged pleasantries with Xiao Meimei, then followed him into the car and left.
