It was almost five o'clock when Le Xiao's classmate returned to Chao's house after having afternoon tea. The young and old of Chao's family burst into laughter when they saw Xiaofentuanzi carrying big and small bags. She didn't say what they were, and they unanimously didn't ask. It hurt a lot to hold the little guy.
The three sisters-in-law had so much fun making the dumplings that Mrs. Chao finally decided not to attend Lao Mezi’s banquet. The three sisters-in-law gave the dumplings to the old man and his wife. Wearing an apron and going to the kitchen to show off your cooking skills is the perfect interpretation of a woman who can go to the hall and go to the kitchen.
The fact that his wife went to cook also made the three brothers Chao Yichao and Chao extremely sad. Even if they couldn't eat the delicious food at home, the saddest thing was that their wife had a reason not to attend the Wang Bureau's dinner. , they can't hide.
To be honest, they don't want to attend any banquets. It would be more free and comfortable to stay at home, but Wang Ju and his son both posted messages for them, so it would be inappropriate for them not to go.
At this time, Chao Yi and Chao San were envious of Chao Er. Chao Er was engaged in business and not politics, so Chao Er did not need to go. However, they and Wang Bureau were both engaged in politics and were considered colleagues. They often interacted with each other and were indispensable. Favors exchange.
Even if there were 10,000 thoughts in his heart that he didn’t want to attend the banquet, Chao Yi and Chao San had to pack themselves up and set off in a decent manner until 6:30. For the two brothers to go together, one car would be enough. Now, Uncle Li, who works at Chao Er's house, drives the two masters to the banquet.
The Wang Bureau family held a banquet in the hotel, which was not very far from the villa area where Chao Erye lived. If the traffic was light, it would take less than twenty minutes by car, so Chao Yi and Chao San delayed it until half past six. Don’t worry about being late when setting off.
The traffic on Sunday was quite congested, and the car spent a lot of time on the road. It was not yet seven o'clock when the three brothers, Chao Yichao and Chao Chao, arrived at the hotel where Wang Bureau was hosting the banquet. The dinner started at 7:30, and they arrived at the hotel. It's just the right time.
The hotel has a waiter at the door to guide the guests. Chao Yi and Chao San followed the instructions and took the elevator upstairs to the banquet hall reserved by Mr. Wang. There were waiters inside and outside the hall to greet the guests.
Wang Ju’s father, Wang Yang, is known as Yang Lao because there are many people with the Wang surname who hold important positions in the state ministry. He is now a deputy state-level cadre. He is seventy-one years old and his hair is also mixed. A few white hairs.
Yang Lao was sitting at the host's seat. Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang, Mr. Hao, were by the side of the old man to entertain the guests. Members of the Wang family and relatives were also helping at the banquet. The host of the hotel was with his assistant. Their duty is to guide some of the guests who have been seated to avoid being unable to find a seat.
Since both father and son are high-ranking officials, they should not be too extravagant and wasteful, so thirty tables are planned for the birthday banquet.
The invited guests were afraid of the embarrassment of being stuck in traffic and not being able to make it to the banquet, so they all came early, almost three-quarters of the way there. Those who had reserved seats were at the tables assigned to them by the host, and those who did not have seats assigned themselves Sit at a table and chat quietly with the people next to you.
When the handsome and elegant Chao family entered the banquet hall, the guests who had been paying close attention to the door saw that only Secretary Chao and Minister Chao were the only ones. Almost all of them subconsciously suspected that they had bad eyesight and took a special look. Behind the two handsome men, yes, the only three handsome men from the Chao family came, the two brothers.
Aunt ChaoMother didn't come, so they could understand why even the wives of Erjun Chao's family didn't come either.
The guests who couldn't figure it out secretly looked at the host's table.
Wang Ju’s father and son couldn’t help but be stunned when they saw that there were only two handsome men among the three handsome men of the Chao family. Wang Wenhao muttered in his heart, could it be because the relationship between Mr. Le and Qing Da Wang’s daughter was not so good, and I once saw him and Wang Xihua together and thought he and Wang Xihua were boyfriend and girlfriend. What she said to the Chao family’s wives made the three Chao family’s wives feel uncomfortable, so they stopped coming to his house
Wang Ju was also puzzled as to why Secretary Chao and Minister Chao came alone. When he saw the two handsome men approaching, he stepped forward to welcome them on behalf of his father, shook hands, and invited the guests to meet his father.
The birthday boy is the eldest, so the three brothers Chao Yi and Chao sent a birthday message to the old man and presented the small gifts they brought to the host. The families of the dignitaries in the capital did not accept gifts for hosting banquets, and guests attending the banquets did not need to give any gifts. Red envelopes, you can bring some small gifts to express your feelings.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is so nice." Yang Lao waited for his son and daughter-in-law to accept the gifts, and greeted the old man and the old lady of the Chao family with a smile.
"My father and mother are in good health and have a lot of work. I haven't seen Yang Lao for a few days, and you are more energetic." Chao Shengguo took the tea from the Wang family's grandson and expressed his gratitude to Yang Lao.
“Old man, I am a person who is half dead in age. My arms and legs are sore even if I move a little bit. I cannot compare with you young people who are full of youth and energy. "
"You are getting stronger and stronger, just like pines and cypresses." Chao Shenghui smiled and saw a guest coming from the corner of his eye. Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang are entertaining the distinguished guests."
Mr. Wang also saw the distinguished guest mentioned by Minister Chao, Mr. Wu, and really wanted to entertain him, so he asked his son to accompany the Chao family to the table.
Chao Yi and Chao San did not shirk, and followed the Wang family's grandson Hao Shao to the seat.
Mr. Wu walked into the Wang family banquet hall with a personal bodyguard and saw the Chao brothers talking to Mr. Yang. He walked forward calmly. When he saw the Chao brothers going to their seats, he was not in a hurry. He went to say hello to the birthday boy of the Wang family without delay.
Mrs. Wang was surprised when she saw Mr. Wu and a middle-aged person accompanying him. Mr. Wu did not bring the daughter of the Le family this time. You must know that in the past, whenever it was a private banquet, Mr. Wu would usually bring the Le family. The daughter attended, just like everyone in the wealthy circle knew that Xiao Xiang, the cousin of the daughter of the Le family, actually used medicine on the brother of the Chao family. After the incident broke out, Mr. Wu still took the daughter of the Le family to the Chao family, so they knew how much Mr. Wu loved him. Le Qianjin, it’s strange that she didn’t bring Le Qianjin with her when she came to Wang’s house this time.
When Mr. Yang saw Mr. Wu, he stood up and shook hands with the guests. After greeting him for a few minutes, he asked his son to take Mr. Wu to the table and take a seat.
The Chao brothers took their seats at the assigned seats. When Director Wang arranged seats for Chao, in order to avoid showing favoritism, Secretary Chao and Minister Chao were placed at two adjacent tables.
Chao Yiyi's table is still the seat of the mayor and several senior city officials. If they all bring their wives, the table can be filled up, while Mayor Wang and Deputy Mayor HeSecretary Zhang and Secretary Luo also arrived, but Secretary Chao and his wife were missing. Since Mrs. Chao did not attend, there was still an empty seat after Chao Yi sat down.
Similarly, Chao San sat at the same table as He Qishu and his wife of the He family. There was also an old family friend of the Chao family, Li Qingyun Qing Lao, Chao Yi's father-in-law Yang Lao, and Chao Er's His parents-in-law, Mr. Zhou and his wife, were all acquaintances. He sat down and there was an empty seat next to him.
As soon as Chao Sang sat down, Minister He asked with a smile, "Minister Chao, what are the little doctors busy with these days?"
Chao Shenghui's face flashed when he mentioned the little girl from the old Chao family. His smile was almost too big to hold, "Our little guy went to the mountains to study plants a few days ago. He just came out of the mountains on Thursday evening. As soon as he showed up, he was invited to the hospital by Minister He's nephew Yan Xiaozi to rescue him. He didn't come home until midnight. After sleeping for half the night, I took the time to climb into the kitchen and was busy making medicine. I didn't finish the work until this morning. I sent the medicine away and went to see the doctor who I had an appointment with before. I worked for several days without rest. I finally got home in the evening and was tired. He became a panda paralyzed, but the old lady and the old man were worried. I and her sister-in-law also felt sorry for the little cotton jacket, and went to the kitchen to make supplements for the little guy to replenish his body. We didn't even come to the dinner. ”
< p>Secretary Luo, who was sitting at the same table with Secretary Chao, originally wanted to ask the little girl from the Chao family. When Minister He asked, he was speechless and listened to Minister Chao's answer with everyone. When Minister Chao explained, everyone suddenly realized , no wonder Secretary Chao’s wife and Minister Chao’s wife didn’t come. It turned out that the little girl felt sorry for the little girl and made delicious food at home to comfort the children.I heard that the young doctor was invited by the grandson of the He family to the hospital to help with the operation. Minister He wanted to cover his face. Xiao Longbao always ran to ask the young doctor for help. Sooner or later, the Chao family would be angry.
"Thank you for your hard work, little doctor. At such a young age, the little doctor has a kind heart and works tirelessly for his patients. He makes selfless contributions regardless of remuneration. He is truly a hero from a young age, and he is worthy of being a hero among women. As for my Xiaolong Baona The child always troubles the little doctor, which really puts the whole family to shame. Minister Chao can beat him if he doesn't like it. If the Chao family doesn't have a cane or stick, I'll go home and ask the boys to prepare a few things to send to the Chao family for later use. "
Hearing that Minister He asked Chao San to beat the He family's grandson Yanxing, Yang Laoqing and Zhou Lao laughed from ear to ear. Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes. Brother Bo's sister is a little baby that everyone loves, and they all want to keep her love in their pockets. The grandson of the He family always invites Xiaofenduanzi to see a doctor. She really deserves a beating.
Chao Shenghui nodded solemnly, "Minister He's suggestion is excellent. Next time Mr. Yan asks my little one to help him and he faints from exhaustion before he is brought back. The old Chao family will beat Mr. Yan with a cane and beat him." If his butt is blooming, he might as well consider sprinkling a few handfuls of pepper or chili powder."
"Minister Chao, you win. Remember to call me when you sprinkle the chili powder, and I'll get everyone at home. Team up and watch.”
Minister He’s words made everyone at the table laugh.
"Hey, is Young Boy Yan really your grandson?"
"Young Boy Yan must be so sad that he doubts his life."
"Poor He family's grandson"ah. ”
The Yang elders especially sympathized with the He family’s grandson Yan, who was also drunk when he saw such an uncle.
Minister He and his wife listened to everyone’s one-sided discussion with smiles. They sympathize with Xiao Longbao. They won’t say that Xiao Longbao is not afraid of being beaten. Xiao Longbao’s skin is rough and his flesh is rough. An ordinary rattan stick will leave some bruises at most. If you want to beat him to pieces, you will have to get a special kind of rattan with barbs.
Major General Hao sent the two gentlemen of the Chao family to the banquet and returned to the elders. He only heard Minister Chao and Minister He discussing the topic of the little girl of the Chao family, and waited quietly when there were no guests. Tell the elders what they heard from the Chao family.
Lao Yang and Wang Ju heard that the little girl of the Chao family was exhausted. I felt relieved that I didn't come to Wang's house.
After that, guests arrived one after another, and all those who could come arrived before the banquet started. The banquet started at half o'clock and ended at half past nine. p>Since there were no special guests, Yang Lao’s birthday party didn’t have any amazing episodes. It started off calmly and ended peacefully.
