"Mumu, did you pass the intermediate arts and crafts professional title exam last year? Why didn't you call me to tell me the good news?"
"Auntie, the two stocks you introduced to me last year were trapped badly. I don't think I can get out in ten or eight years!"
"Second aunt, the bank where your son-in-law works doesn't have to take deposits this year, right?"
"Uncle Weigui, you asked me to contact Zhou Yinglai about endorsing your products. Her agent said that she would make an appointment to discuss it again."
……
Xiao Xingyu grabbed a king bomb and resolutely counterattacked all the people who gave him "valuable opinions" one by one. He threw one to deal with each one, and he struck with absolute accuracy. He quickly made the people at the table shrink and hang their heads. "Xingyu", seeing that the atmosphere had declined too much, Xiao Weizhou spoke up at the right time, and his hesitant tone made people doubt that this father was afraid of his own son, "Actually, it's grandpa... Since his serious illness last year, his health has...
He has never recovered. The doctor told the old man to take more care and rest as he is getting older..."
"But the fact is that he seems to be working harder than before. He used to burn one kiln in ten days, but now he burns one kiln in three days. We tried to persuade him, but the more times he worked, the old man would get angry! Later, when he lost his temper, he came to us to talk to him.
Yes, he frankly told everyone his psychological thoughts, which means that now he gradually feels that there is not enough time, so we should leave him alone if we can't help him."
Everyone was silent, even Sasa put down her chopsticks.
When grandpa was mentioned, the topic seemed to have changed. Xiao Xingyu's anger faded away and he loosened his arms from his chest, but his lips were pursed tightly without any intention of expressing his position.
But it seemed that everyone was expecting him to say something. The blank lasted for about 20 seconds. Zhou Xia stood up and said, "Why don't you eat fish? Today's fish is very fresh!"
As he said that, he took the male spoon from the fish plate and scooped out the fattest piece of meat from Dongxingban. He crossed his slender waist over Xiao Xingyu and placed it on Xiao Weizhou's plate, "Uncle Weizhou, please try it!" p>
"Everyone eats so many dishes!" Zhou Xia put the male spoon back on the fish plate, picked up the male chopsticks and picked up a piece of sea cucumber for Xiao Weicheng: "Uncle Weixi, this sea cucumber seems to be the one you brought back from Dalian last time!
My dad’s side has already finished eating.”
Yao Ma, who was waiting on the side, immediately said, "Yes, yes, Zhou Xia has really smart eyes. Where can we buy such good sea cucumbers here!"
"I say yes!" Zhou Xia smiled like a flower.
Everyone saw Zhou Xia's efforts. No one wanted to eat in the ice cellar, so the atmosphere at the table became active again under her leadership. Everyone automatically deleted the short memory just now, and they all talked about it like they were resurrected.
The temperature on the table gradually warmed up.
Zhang Moyan looked at Zhou Xia who had a good attitude and actively responded to every comment. She felt that she really looked like Xue Baochai. She was generous, good at being a good person, good at coordinating conflicts, and her appearance was also outstanding. She was so cold just now.
Thanks to her efforts, the atmosphere gradually returned to a state where guests and hosts could enjoy themselves.
Zhang Moyan has always been clumsy in dealing with people, so she sincerely admires this kind of woman who is versatile and good at dancing.
Suddenly a tall figure stood next to him.
The scene that had just become lively and busy was suddenly banned collectively.
Xiao Xingyu was poking at the food in the bowl. When he saw Xiao Huai standing up, he stared at him for a while and put down his chopsticks in his hand: "Mr. Huai, what advice do you have?"
Xiao Huai's voice was far from angry: "Since you are a member of the Xiao family, you should know what mission you shoulder. It's already wrong to ask your elders to remind you. Now you have to pretend to be confused?"
Okay, the temperature that just rose is now probably back to 0 degrees.
But it can be seen that Xiao Huai's remarks have won the support of everyone. Everyone's face is blingbling, except for the words "If you can say something, say more".
The air seemed to have become a bit sharp, and the welcome banquet turned into a Hongmen banquet in an instant. The meal for the big family was indeed comparable to that of Hong Kong dramas, and the undercurrent was surging while eating.
Xiao Xingyu's face darkened, and his still handsome face gradually became expressionless.
His silence finally made Xiao Huai slightly angry: "You have been my grandpa's favorite person since childhood. Now that his situation has been explained to you so clearly, are you sure you still have such an aloof attitude? You clearly know what his wish is,
I knew clearly that he was so anxious, but he was completely indifferent."
"..."
"I hope you won't regret it in the future."
The two looked at each other across the distance, and Xiao Huai's words were so serious that you could hear a needle drop on the dining table.
"You don't have to worry about my affairs." Xiao Xingyu responded coldly while sitting in a chair.
In this way, the antagonistic relationship between the two people could not be more obvious.
The temperature in the large living room dropped by about 5 degrees.
"Don't worry about me?" Xiao Huai's chest rose and fell in his meticulous suit, "Xiao Xingyu, anyone is qualified to say this to me, but you are not."
This sentence seemed to hit something. Xiao Xingyu's momentum visibly flinched, and the always proud young master did not even refute.
"Many people with mediocre qualifications are working diligently on the road of re-burning azure glaze," Xiao Huai calmed down his emotions, but his gentle words hit people's hearts even more, "You obviously have talents that are difficult for ordinary people to match, but you are willing to accept them.
Degenerate, wasting time and energy on things that don’t help...it’s really disappointing.”
After the words fell, others also sat down, and the whole scene was dead silent.
Xiao Huai's voice looped through everyone's mind several times. Fortunately for the juniors, all the elders had complex expressions of gloominess and joy on their faces.
The next moment, voices of support began to rise regardless of the consequences.
"Xiao Huai said exactly what I wanted to say, Xingyu, grandpa needs you. Although he didn't ask you to come back, you should also think about him!"
"You are capable, unlike us. We all feel it is a pity that you are like this!"
"You are indeed still young. It's okay to spend a few years doing something you like. However, you should also consider your grandpa. Don't you want to fulfill his wish during his lifetime?"
"Even if you can't complete the re-fired azure glaze, you can at least be the top in the industry! Don't waste your talent, you are really doing nothing!"
……
Xiao Xingyu was almost drowned in the saliva of his elders.
But faced with the group attack from the moral high ground, the more he fell out, the more he looked like a heretic, so he was smart enough not to make any rebuttal. This was definitely not easy for a man with a sharp mouth. He looked uglier than the soles of his shoes now.
You can tell by his face.
"He does nothing?" A voice with a slight nasal sound was very confused, "How many people like him have done nothing?"
It was so inconsistent with the main theme that everyone fell silent.
Zhang Moyan was still holding half of a king crab leg in her hand, and straightened her back when facing all the eyes that were watching her.
Although I knew that it was definitely not my turn to speak at this time, seeing such a proud person being besieged and having no choice but to shut up, I couldn't help but want to speak out.
