Chapter three hundred and thirty nine show the limelight
In the first floor of Tianbeye restaurant, the table is hot and steamed dishes, which are carefully and can be cursed by the heart. Sichuan cuisine is the main one, and some light dishes are mixed in inconspicuously.
At eight o'clock on time, everyone entered the restaurant, but no one sat down. They all looked at the entrance of the stairs.
"The sound of the crutch is very slow, but very clear, as if it hits the head of a person's heart. All the people in the Zhao family were inexplicably excited. The old man went downstairs,
Zhao Dongjin and the two brothers of ** were protecting the old man, followed by several medical staff holding the old man's special seats. As soon as General Zhao appeared, the crowd was noisy, and many people rushed forward and shouted, "Grandpa! Great Master".
The old man seemed a little stiff and didn't say anything. His head swayed left and right, as if he was looking for something. After a while, he said: "Every east, what time is it now?"
All the noise became quiet, and everyone was confused, thinking that the old man wouldn't be really confused, right? Why did such an irrelevant word suddenly pop up?
Zhao Dongjin dared not act rashly. He lowered his head and said respectfully: "Father, it's exactly eight o'clock!"
The old man tilted his lips and said blankly for a while: "What to eat at 8 o'clock? Didn't I tell him to postpone it for an hour?"
Zhao Dongjin and ** were stunned. Both of them looked at each other and felt confused. When did the old man say that he would postpone the meal for an hour? For a moment, you looked at me and I looked at you, but I didn’t know how to answer.
General Zhao seemed a little dazed and paused on the ground with his twitches and said, "All here are you, just sit for a while! Don't stand!"
The two brothers suddenly realized and hurriedly helped the old man forward. The crowd naturally dispersed. After the old man sat in the middle of the front desk, everyone returned to sit in their seats one by one.
The restaurant was extremely quiet. There was only the sound of boiling soup in the stewed stove. A group of people stared at each other and the wine and food were all served. But the old man suddenly said that the meal time was wrong, so he could only do it like this.
There are many people who complain in their hearts, but no one dares to act rashly. In the Zhao family, the old man is the god!
The old general seemed to be much better after sitting down. In addition to the Zhao Dongjin brothers and their wife, there were also Zhao Chuan, Zhao Shandong, Zhao Wenfeng, and the grandson-daughter-in-law who accompanied the old man, but they were not accompanied by eight people at the table.
"Father, do you have to wait until nine o'clock?" ** said, and saw a room full of people waiting, he wanted to comfort the old man. Besides, the Zhao family's New Year's Eve dinner has always been eight o'clock, so why did the old man suddenly postpone it for an hour?
The old general Zhao did not answer his words directly, and said tremblingly: "Go and ask someone to open the door. Yaoyao is here. I made an appointment with her at nine o'clock!"
The faces of the room changed, Zhao Dongjin and the lower class were completely speechless, while the other grandchildren and great-grandchildren looked even more strange. You looked at me, I looked at you, some were surprised, some were jealous, and some were envious. All seeds were combined into a circle of sentient beings.
Some older great-grandchildren even have a heart in mind. They will come after graduating from school tomorrow. If they run away from home, they may also attract the attention of the old man, which is too cool.
Zhao Chuanze was shocked. He stood up and made arrangements first. The joke was that the old man knew that the fourth uncle could command the fourth uncle, and how could the fourth uncle take a seat for the two future generations?
A group of orderly soldiers were busy with work. Two more seats were specially prepared. Zhao Chuan did not dare to act rashly, so he figured out what his grandfather meant a chair was placed at the first table, which was for Zhao Jiayao. The old man had a preference for Jiayao, so he naturally wanted his granddaughter to accompany him.
Another chair was placed on the third table, and the third generation of the Zhao family, who was about the same age as Zhang Qingyun, was sitting on. The old man seemed to have thick lines and no expressions were made. Zhao Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Time passed every minute and every second, and at about 8:30, cars in the yard sounded. Zhang Qingyun and Zhao Jiayao arrived. When they got off the car, they saw that the yard was deserted and they were a little confused.
Speaking of which, the old general Zhao sent someone to pick up the people at the Beijing Hotel early in the morning, but this was a busy job, and the distance from the Beijing Hotel to the villa was a bit far, so I had to struggle a few times.
hour.
Zhang Qingyun raised his hand and looked at his watch, nodded at Zhao Jiayao, and felt relieved. Fortunately, he was not late. There was a powerful soldier leading the way in front, and the two went straight to the restaurant.
As soon as they entered the door, they paused at the same time, and dozens of eyes looked at them at the same time. Zhang Qingyun felt completely unfamiliar. He basically didn't recognize the people in the room, and he was staring at them like monsters. It was conceivable.
Zhao Jiayao frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy. Zhao Chuan hurriedly stood up and said, "Jiayao, why don't you sit down quickly? So many people are waiting for you!"
Zhang Qingyun and Zhao Jiayao looked at each other. Zhang Qingyun was led to you by using the invitation gesture, so he had to follow up. He happened to see Zhao Gangjian at the third table. He called out to the fourth brother! Zhao Gangjian nodded with a smile, pointing to the empty seat and said:
"Qingyun, sit down! I'll introduce you to this table!"
In addition to Zhao Gangjian and his wife Guo Aiping, the other ones were sitting at this table were daughters and son-in-laws from the third generation of the Zhao family. After Zhao Gangjian, Zhang Qingyun greeted them with a smile.
Everyone looked at him with a scrutiny. Guo Aiping was very generous and smiled first, "Hehe, this is Jiayao's son-in-law! I have been recognizing my reputation for a long time, and our Xuefang has also mentioned you."
Zhang Qingyun smiled casually, called out his fourth sister-in-law, and then stretched out his hand to shake hands with several men one by one. There are many daughters of the third generation of the Zhao family, such as Zhao Jiahua and Zhao Jiaping, and Zhang Qingyun can't remember them.
However, because of their distinctive names, Zhang Qingyun is easier to remember. There are two people in this year who look like they are in harmony with each other. One is called Ma Bingqiu and the other is called Zhong Mengfei, who all look like they are in the officialdom. Of course, Zhang Qingyun is more familiar with them.
Zhang Qingyun is so generous and not at all stage fright, which makes people look at him with admiration. He thinks that he is now the deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, and his brother-in-law feels ashamed. Ma Bingqiu is in the Ministry of Electric Power and is now just the director of the director, so her wife Zhao Jiahua is already very satisfied. The director who is a man of Duo has a future.
But when compared with Zhang Qingyun, it is immediately inferior. The name of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department is very impressive, and he is also a leading figure inside. Compared with a director under the Department of Electric Power Department, he is really a leader.
If this was not a banquet for the Zhao family, Zhang Qingyun should have sat on the table, and everyone at this table had to surround him. Zhang Qingyun's performance is indeed a leader, and seeing the Zhao family's daughters are all enjoying themselves. He also thought that Zhao Jiayao had ridiculed him when she left. The husband they are looking for now is 108,000 times better than his husband. The more they think about it, the more jealous he becomes.
But what can I do if I am jealous? The old man is just leaning towards Jiayao, and he actually wants his family to wait for them. How can he have such a status in the family?
The reunion dinner was officially launched, and the restaurant immediately calmed down. According to the customs of Sichuan people, I didn’t speak for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and I could only eat quietly. Moreover, there was a plate of fish on the table that could not be eaten. There was surplus every year, and the rest should be perfect.
After dinner, everyone waited for the old man to leave, and everyone became active. As elders, Zhao Dongjin and his wife had to send red envelopes to their younger generations. Zhao Dongjin and his wife were holding a thick stack of red envelopes in their hands, each table at a time. Zhang Qingyun felt a little strange. He saw that Zhao Chuan had a share, and he was almost fifty years old and still received New Year's money. It was really weird enough.
Soon, Zhao Dongjin and his wife and the wife of the **xia couple walked to Zhang Qingyun's table. Everyone stood up and called the third uncle and the fourth uncle, and said some auspicious words. Zhang Qingyun had to make up for the taro and stand up.
Zhao Dongjin saw Zhang Qingyun with a sharp eye, pointed at his son Zhao Gangjian and said, "I am familiar with Qingyun, don't forget to take him for a walk later!"
**The next time he looked at him. Her wife was very elegant and luxurious, and she smiled and said, "Well, a very good young man, Jia Yao has a good attitude!"
Everyone's faces changed, and Aunt Si's words were meaningful. You should know that the Zhao family absolutely opposed the matter between Zhao Jiayao and Zhang Qingyun. Zhang Qingyun was the one who made the Zhao family lose all their faces. Now, following Aunt Si's tone, it seems that the two of them have become good matches again. The elders of the Zhao family have changed their faces too quickly!
Zhang Qingyun was also a little surprised and felt that this was a very strong signal from the Zhao family. This was said by a kind female elder, and it was even more like finding a way out. Thinking about it, the whole room was not a Zhao family. It was really awkward.
But the others didn't think so. They all felt unbalanced. Zhao Jiayao acted so recklessly and now let it go. Isn't it that she is looking for a son-in-law with a future? She became a real-powered cadre in the deputy department at a young age, and her future in the future is even more limitless. It's really angering to compare people."
Zhang Qingyun took the red envelope from Zhao Dongjin and Zhao Jiayao's fourth aunt and learned to say something to wish them good health. Aunt San and Aunt Si were very kind, but Zhao Dongjin and ** were still reserved and soon moved to the next table.
After the elders sent out red envelopes, Zhang Qingyun saw that the people around him stood up one after another. He had to stand up. Seeing that everyone had also found a large stack of red envelopes from his pocket, he washed up. He had such many rules as the Zhao family, and he was in charge of each generation.
Now the third generation of elders are going to give New Year's money to the next generation of children. Zhang Qingyun was not going to prepare this? He fattened Zhao Gangjian and was about to ask for help, but he felt that someone was touching his shoulder. It turned out that Zhao Jiayao didn't know when he came. She was holding a stack of red envelopes in her hand.
Zhang Qingyun was weak and said softly: "Your family has so many rules!"
Zhao Jiayao pursed her lips and made an expression that I had no choice but to express my help. The two of them entered the next complicated process hand in hand. There are many young children among the four generations of the Zhao family, the youngest is still in their arms, and the largest one is almost the same as Zhao Hongyan.
The process was not completed yet. Suddenly, I heard Zhao Jiayao's seventh brother's seventh son crying on the table, crying and shouting: "Aunt Six (Zhao Jiayao ranked sixth among the three generations of the Zhao family) cheating people, there is no money in the red envelope!"
Everyone looked over. "The guy had already tore open the red envelope, holding a lot of 100-dollar bills in his hand, and holding a cash check to shout at everyone!
Everyone looked at Zhao Jiayao. Zhao Jiayao's seventh sister-in-law was anxious and hurriedly picked up her son with one hand and said angrily: What do you know about little guy? This is a lot of money!" She said as she took the check from her son's hand, looked at her, and quickly opened her eyes wide and said to Zhao Jiayao: "This, Jiayao, there is too much New Year's money for children!"
Zhang Qingyun glared at Zhao Jiayao and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Did the money be used to show off?"
"It's not much, it's only 100,000 yuan. Yesterday, Hongyan was also 100,000 yuan. I can't favor one or the other!" Zhao Jiayao said.
"You". Zhang Qingyun's face turned pale and she felt a little unhappy. She thought that she would criticize her fiercely when she went back. It would be enough for a child to give her a few hundred yuan during the Chinese New Year. She even gave her a check. No matter how she looked at her, she had a vulgar mentality of showing off her wealth.
Zhang Qingyun's face was not good-looking, Zhao Jiayao looked very calm, and said, "Sister-in-law, I haven't come back for many years. Even if I have some feelings, don't be polite.
”.
Everyone took a breath of air conditioning. 100,000 yuan is nothing to the people in the room, but most of the people in the room are officials after all. Although Xiao Tan is rich, he can give his children a hundred thousand yuan in New Year's money after lunch. He is not very smart.
Although the Zhao family has different opinions on Zhao Jiayao, they only know that Jiayao is cold-hearted, doesn't like to speak, and is stubborn, they have never commented on Zhao Jiayao's love to show off. Besides, the Zhao family's children and grandchildren have never experienced any occasions? They are not so vulgar that they make the limelight by giving New Year's money.
In Zhang Qingyun's opinion, Zhao Jiayao's actions seemed to be showing off, but in the eyes of the Zhao family, she only thought that Jiayao was really independent and accomplished, which was in line with her personality. She did her own way and was completely blank in her eyes. She only acted on her own nature and did not care what others said. If she had money, give more, and if she had no money, she would not give her. This is her style.
It is precisely because of this style that she dared not even take the fourth uncle and her elder brother seriously. A girl elopes when she says she elopes. In the eyes of others, it doesn't matter at all in her eyes. This is Zhao Jiayao, she is so brave to act.
After the red envelope was sent, Zhao Gangjian took the initiative to find Zhang Qingyun to take him to recognize him. Zhang Qingyun felt sore when he held the hand in his hand. He sighed in his heart. The big family is a big family. There are so many brothers and sisters, and they are usually separated. How could they care about this blood relationship? If it were not born from compatriots, how many more could there be?
After seeing Zhao Shandong, Zhang Qingyun finally saw Zhao Chuan. Seeing Zhao Chuan again was indescribable, but after adjusting for a little, he still coughed and stepped forward and said, "Hello, brother!" He stretched out his left hand.
Zhao Chuan's muscles twitched. He used to think that Zhang Qingyun was a little thin, but today he found that Zhang Qingyun's figure and figure were not as weak as him even in terms of his demeanor.
Zhang Qingyun is more than teenager than him! After a few more, he will not recognize him.
The scene of Zhao Chuan talking to Zhang Qingyun was very attractive, because the Zhao family members knew more or less about their grudges. Everyone was secretly awe-inspiring in their hearts when they saw that Zhang Qingyun's momentum was not overwhelmed by Zhao Chuan.
You should know that Zhao Chuan's status in the Zhao family is of great importance. In many eyes, he and his third uncle and fourth uncle are at the same level, and are also one of the few people who can represent the Zhao family's position when speaking outside. Among the peers, they generally respect him very much, and they have to respect him very much.
But Zhang Qingyun was not respectful, and it was more like the two of them were marching and having a chat, with a very light expression. It was very natural.
"You" can come back with Jiayao for the New Year" is very good!" Zhao Chuan said for a long time. He wanted to use a more stern tone, but the taste changed as soon as he spoke.
He had never encountered this situation, but today he met it. He saw through Zhang Qingyun's eyes. There was no trace of respect or cowardice inside. It was very polite and very diplomatic.
Zhang Qingyun did not regard himself as a member of the Zhao family at all. His relationship with the Zhao family was limited to the fact that he would be Zhao Jiayao's husband, and there was nothing else.
After saying this, Zhao Chuan felt it was difficult for him to say anything again. The occasion was not right. The atmosphere was a bit awkward. At this moment, two orderly soldiers came downstairs and walked respectfully to Zhang Qingyun and said:
"The general asked you to go up and play chess with him!"
"Me?" Zhang Qingyun was shocked. He pointed to his nose, and the two nodded.
Zhang Qingyun pondered for a moment, his expression returned to calm. He nodded and said, "Brother, then I'll go to grandpa's side first!" After that, he turned around and nodded to the others, and then followed the two of them downstairs. The Zhao family was left with a stunned look at his back.
Today the Zhao family celebrates the Spring Festival, but everyone thinks that Zhang Qingyun is the protagonist.
This guy who kidnapped the Zhao family's daughter, the old man loves the house and the Wuwu, and likes him!
With so many grandsons, the old man of great-grandson didn't call him. He just called an outsider to go up, and he was also a person who made the Zhao family lose all their faces. These things have changed,
The old general seemed to be in high spirits today. He lowered five military flags with Zhang Qingyun in a row. Zhang Qingyun was really letting go today, and he was a little happy. Seeing that the old man was happy, Zhang Qingyun quickly suggested to let the old man go to Lingnan.
The old man was very sensitive. When he heard this, his face immediately looked ugly and said, "Why do you always yell at a topic? You will die when you are old. This is the law of nature. Can you really live forever when you go to Lingnan?"
The old man was so angry that his power was amazing. The people next to him, the orderly soldiers, doctors and nurses were silent. Zhang Qingyun also felt a murderous aura. Although he had been prepared for it, he was a little nervous when he refused to admit it.
After a long time, he took a breath with difficulty, forced himself to calm down and began to deviate according to the established strategy. He also mentioned Zhao Jiayao, saying that Zhao Jiayao could not sleep or eat after returning from Lao Gan's office a few days ago, and he was very anxious.
He also said that he had not married Zhao Jiayao yet. Zhao Jiayao wanted his grandfather to see the day of her wedding, and even the day of her great-grandson.
Yangsai, Zhang Qingyun became more and more in a state as he spoke. The old man's expression gradually calmed down. Finally, he squinted his eyes and looked at him with interest, and suddenly said:
"It's a pity that you don't join the army! You're not going to be a deserter when you join the army!"
Zhang Qingyun was stunned and looked up and saw that the old man's expression finally eased. No longer had the momentum he had just now, there was a faint smile in his eyes. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and felt that something had turned around."
Chapter completed!
