"Xiao Bai, you can go directly to my house for dinner."
"No, I want to go home first."
"Okay, then I'll take you home first."
Liu Huanghe drove Xiaobai to Lao Zhang's house first, and then sent the others back home one by one.
The banner was taken by Liu Changjiang and is now being kept by him. After dinner, he will hand it over to Marshal Jiao, and then hand it over to Mei Fangfang early tomorrow morning... In this way, everyone will have a chance to brag at home.
Zhang Mingxue came home from work. Originally, she wanted to go out for dinner with her friends, but Qin Huifang repeatedly told her in the morning that she must go home for dinner tonight, saying that she would accompany Xiaobai and Xiaoyu.
Zhang Mingxue is a very playful and fun-loving person. She usually eats dinner out five or six days a week and hangs out with various friends.
On this day, she declined the invitations from her friends and returned home honestly.
Wang Xiaoyu was tinkering with his drone in the yard, seemingly testing low-altitude flight.
"Wang Xiaoyu! What are you doing?"
Zhang Mingxue shouted, and Wang Xiaoyu was startled by the sudden sound. His hands shook, and the drone just fell into the small pond in the yard.
A few little ducks were swimming in a small pond, and suddenly strange things fell from the sky. They flapped their wings, quacked, and fled in all directions.
Wang Xiaoyu:(((;???;)))
“Ah—my drone!”
Wang Xiaoyu was shocked.
…
"Uuuuuuuuuah~~~"
"Stop crying."
"Woooooooooo~~"
"Stop crying, I'll buy you another one."
"嘤嘤嘤~"
Zhang Mingxue was also speechless. She just shouted, and the drone fell into a small pond and could not start.
Wang Xiaoyu cried and cried.
Zhang Mingxue saw that he was still wiping tears and Xiaobai was nowhere to be seen, so she asked where Xiaobai had gone.
"She went to Liu Changjiang's home."
"Why go to his house?"
"Xiaobai went to Liu Changjiang's house for dinner."
"Why didn't you go with me?"
"...My drone~wuwuwu~"
Zhang Mingxue helped him repair the drone on site, and after some tinkering, it was able to operate again.
Seeing the drone take off again, Wang Xiaoyu let her go.
Zhang Mingxue came to the kitchen, and while helping her mother prepare dinner, she asked Xiaobai why she went to Secretary Liu's house for dinner.
"Yangjiang invited her to go. She originally said she would go at noon."
"Awesome, Xiaobai."
"Xiaobai also went to Mayor Wang's house for dinner at noon."
"Awesome, Xiaobai."
"Your dad came back for lunch at noon, but he didn't see Xiaobai."
"Haha, that's awesome, Xiaobai, oh, by the way, will dad come back for dinner tonight?"
"Definitely."
Qin Huifang said with great certainty that based on her understanding of Zhang Hui, if Xiaobai was at home, he would definitely come back as early as possible.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hui's voice came from outside.
He was talking to Wang Xiaoyu.
After a while, Zhang Hui appeared at the door of the kitchen and asked, "I heard that Xiaobai went to Secretary Liu's house for dinner?"
Qin Huifang said: "Yes, I just left not long ago."
Zhang Hui: "What's going on?"
"The Yangtze River invited her. I originally wanted to invite her at noon, but Mayor Wang's family invited her first, so it was only at noon and one night. The Yellow River came to pick her up."
Zhang Hui nodded and held back a sentence for a while.
"I didn't expect this."
He returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and watched Pujiang News.
The night was getting darker and darker, the lights were on in the yard, and suddenly the doorbell rang.
Wang Xiaoyu, who was playing with a drone in the yard, heard this and took the initiative to run to the gate to check. He glanced at the monitor and opened the gate.
"Grandpa Liu, Grandma Hu, hello, my grandpa just came home."
The visitors are Lao Liu and Hu Yi from next door.
"Xiaoyu, have you eaten?" Hu Yi asked Wang Xiaoyu with a smile.
"Not yet, my grandma is still cooking." Wang Xiaoyu said crisply.
Lao Liu and Hu Yi looked around. At this time, Zhang Hui came out and invited them to sit in the room.
But Lao Liu said: "I'm not going to sit down anymore. Dinner is ready and waiting to be eaten. Isn't Xiaobai here? Why don't you see anyone? I'm here to invite her to my house for dinner."
Zhang Hui said angrily: "I came to invite people after the meal was ready!"
But Lao Liu said: "Let Xiaobai come for lunch and dinner tomorrow. I'll ask her what she likes to eat today and make it tomorrow."
Zhang Hui became even more angry.
"Don't think about it. Xiaobai went to Secretary Liu's house for dinner tonight and will eat at home tomorrow."
He didn't meet Xiao Bai for lunch or dinner today, and he was already unhappy. As a result, Lao Liu came to the door and wanted to rob someone. He couldn't let it go. The day after tomorrow, Xiao Bai said he was going back and he didn't have time.
Lao Liu bickered with him for a while, and finally got the opportunity for Xiao Bai to come to his house for dinner at noon tomorrow, and then left with satisfaction.
Zhang Hui returned to the living room, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Why was the little girl so popular in this courtyard? Thinking about it carefully, she had only been here a few times in a year.
At this moment, at Lao Liu's house, everyone was having dinner, and the atmosphere was harmonious, talking and laughing.
Xiaobai sat at the dining table and was not formal. He talked when he should and ate when he should.
Liu Changjiang's grandfather is also there. He came home early today, so dinner started early.
This is an old man who is not angry and self-respecting, with thick hair, but gray hair on his temples, a ruddy complexion, and a lot of energy. He looks about 60% similar to Liu Changjiang and Liu Huanghe.
He talks little, but is amiable and has helped Xiaobai pick up food a few times.
Every time Xiaobai spoke, he would smile and listen carefully, thinking that this little girl was very interesting.
Dinner was natural and smooth, nothing special happened.
This was a dinner that both guest and host enjoyed. Xiaobai was very happy because many of the dishes were her favorites, and some were special dishes that she had never eaten before. This was the first time to eat them, and she thought they were very delicious.
It's delicious.
After dinner, Liu Changjiang's grandfather watched the news broadcast, and Xiaobai also stood aside and watched.
Seeing that she was also interested, Secretary Liu asked her to sit down and watch together.
"You can't just sit down after eating. You have to stand and digest. You can just take a walk later." Xiaobai said.
Secretary Liu thought it made sense, so he didn't ask Xiaobai to sit down again, but he stood up himself.
The two stood in front of the TV watching the news.
It wasn't until Liu Changjiang called her to go out to play that Xiaobai said goodbye to their family.
"I often come to my house to play." Secretary Liu said proactively.
"Yes, yes~ Thank you, dinner is so delicious~"
“If you like to eat, come here often.”
Xiaobai and Liu Changjiang went out. Jiao Dashuai and Mei Fangfang were already waiting on the road. Seeing them appear, they asked: "Yangtze River, where is the banner? It's time to give it to me."
Liu Changjiang slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot. I'll give it to you later. Let's go see the lanterns first."
Today the courtyard was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and many lanterns were hung in preparation for the Spring Festival.
