The birthday banquet was held in the evening, so the people who came in the morning were all relatives of the Tang family and the Xia family. However, because neither the Tang family nor the Xia family actually lived here, there were not many relatives who came.
Of course, after all, it was just the Tang family's seventeenth birthday party, and some distant relatives would not come.
But even so, there were more than two tables of relatives from the Tang family and the Xia family, which showed that Tang Jin's parents were better off among the two relatives.
As the saying goes: The poor man standing on the crossroads, playing with ten steel structures, cannot hook the flesh and blood of his relatives; the rich man is in the mountains and forests, wielding swords, guns and sticks, but he cannot disperse the unjust guests and friends.
In the afternoon, some friends invited by Xia Lan slowly arrived. Xia Lan took Tang Jin to welcome the guests. Every guest couldn't help but praise Tang Jin sincerely when they saw him.
Although they knew that with Mr. Xia's appearance, her daughter would definitely be good, but the moment they saw Mr. Xia's daughter, many people regretted why they didn't bring their brat here.
All parents are opposed to puppy love, but at their level, they are not opposed to marriage, especially if they are well-matched. If their brat pursues Mr. Xia's daughter, not only will they not object, but they will provide various conditions.
.
How many wealthy families have already arranged for their children to be engaged before they reach adulthood, and then start arranging the engagement when the children reach adulthood.
…
"Su Wang, what gift have you prepared for Tang Jin's birthday today?" In the taxi, squad leader Zhang Meng asked Su Wang curiously.
Because Zhang Meng found out that Su Wang came here empty-handed, which made her feel a little confused. You must know that in the class, the relationship between Su Wang and Tang Jin was already public, so even if they, their classmates, did not give gifts, Su Wang
I will definitely give Tang Jin a birthday gift.
"We'll know when the time comes." Su Wang replied with a smile.
"Still keeping it a secret. I heard from Tang Jin that there were a lot of people coming to her birthday party this time, and many of her classmates from her old school were coming over. Being able to come from Linchuan to celebrate Tang Jin's birthday must be a blessing to Tang Jin.
Jin is interesting, Su Wang, you should be careful."
Tang Jin's classmate Zhang Xia also spoke up. This time, for Tang Jin's birthday, class monitor Zhang Meng and classmate Zhang Xia were invited to class 1. With Tang Jin's cold personality in the class, there were not many who could play well.
Personal.
"I bought a bracelet for Tang Jin."
"The bracelet you gave me, I bought a pair of earrings."
Zhang Meng and Zhang Xia began to talk about the gifts they had prepared. They were all classmates, so naturally there were no expensive gifts. The bracelet and earrings only cost about a hundred yuan.
This price is not cheap compared to students. Of course, Zhang Meng and Zhang Xia's family environment is not bad.
No matter how reluctant you are to accept reality, one thing cannot be ignored. In this society, students with good grades often come from good family backgrounds, and their parents work locally, because only in such families can parents have time to spend with their children.
, teach children to have good study habits.
In such a small county, most parents of families have gone out to work. After all, the wages in the county are too low and there are not so many jobs. If the parents go out to work, even if there are older generations, the elders do not understand at all.
How to educate children.
This is the reason why it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of Tang Jin's community in the city. This is a garden villa community, but Zhang Xia and Zhang Meng were not timid at all, because their homes were also villas in the county town.
"Su Wang, won't you go in with us?"
"No, you go in first, I have some things to do, I'll go in later."
Watching Su Zhangxia and Zhang Meng enter the community, Su Wang took out his mobile phone. After a while, a commercial vehicle stopped at the door of the community, and a middle-aged man got out of the car.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised when he saw Su Wang, but he was not too surprised because from the previous phone call, he could tell that this time his employer was not very old.
"Young Master Su, for the sake of safety, we need to arrange things in advance."
"No problem, I'll go with you!"
…
"Tang Jin, happy birthday!"
Zhang Meng and Zhang Xia walked into the Tang family villa. After Tang Jin took the gifts from them and expressed his gratitude, he glanced towards the door.
"Should we wait for Su Wang? This guy Su Wang came with us, but when we were at the gate of the community, he didn't come in. He said he had something to do and would come in later."
Zhang Xia saw what Tang Jin was waiting for in his eyes and explained with a smile.
Zhang Meng on the side also immediately answered: "Su Wang is so mysterious that he doesn't know what he is doing. I think he is planning to give you a surprise."
Tang Jin blushed, but said nothing and led his two classmates into the hall.
For a birthday banquet like this held at home, there will naturally be no banquet. When the sun sets in the evening, staff will be invited to set up a buffet in the garden.
Red wine, beer, fruit, and delicious food are all available.
"Xiao Jin, follow me to the door to greet the guests."
Xia Lan, who had been entertaining guests, answered a phone call, greeted her daughter, and walked to the gate. At this moment, two figures, an old man and a young man, also appeared at the gate.
"teacher."
Looking at the old man, Xia Lan was very respectful, because the old man in front of her was her mentor. At this moment, many guests saw the old man appear. Those who knew the old man rushed to the door to greet him. Those who did not know the old man's identity were low-level guests.
Ask the friends around you for the identity of the old man.
Of course, if Su Wang were here, he would find that he had met this old man before. Not only Su Wang, but also Zhang Meng and Zhang Xia looked surprised when they saw the old man.
Isn’t this the university teacher who is the head teacher?
Yes, the old man is Professor Li who returned to his alma mater at Guangzhou Middle School and attended classes in Class 1.
"Teacher, this is my daughter Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin, this is your mother, my university teacher Li."
"No introduction is needed. I know your daughter. Yi Chao told me that your daughter is the darling of his class."
Mr. Li had a smile on his face, and when Xia Lan heard what his teacher said, he realized why his teacher came to attend his daughter's birthday party. It turned out to be because he learned about his daughter from Liu Yichao.
Xia Lan is older than Liu Yi, and she also knows that her daughter's class teacher is also the teacher's student, but she doesn't know that she is her senior sister. Most parents are eager to get closer to the teacher, so that the teacher can care and tutor them more.
child, but Xia Lan is very confident in her daughter and does not need to do this at all.
Of course, another reason is that my husband’s workplace makes it difficult to get involved with too many people, lest it affect her husband’s work.
"Xia Lan, this is my grandson Li Bin. I am getting old and my legs are inconvenient, so I brought my grandson here with me."
As soon as Mr. Li finished speaking, Zhang Meng on the side shouted with some uncertainty: "Li Bin? Is he the one from the Municipal Experimental No. 1 Middle School who participated in the Mathematical Olympiad this year and passed the selection of the national training team and became a member of the national team?"
Ordinary students may not understand the rules of the Olympiad, but for the top students in Class 1, they are still very concerned about these. Many of them have even signed up for the Olympiad, but unfortunately most of them are stuck at the municipal level.
, only a few achieved provincial rankings.
Therefore, this year our province has a member of the National Mathematical Olympiad team. Other students don’t know it, but Zhang Meng and the others know about it. The teacher mentioned it several times during math class.
When Li Bin heard Zhang Meng's words and saw the surprised eyes of the people around him, he felt happy, but the expression on his face did not change. He replied modestly: "It's just a fluke."
"You are so humble, a member of the Olympia national team. This is not something you can do by luck."
"Yes, my son also participated, but he couldn't even pass the municipal level. The Olympiad is very difficult."
"I heard that if you become a national Olympian, you can apply directly to Mizuki and Beijing University."
Xia Lan was also stunned for a moment, looked at the boy named Li Bin, and then said with a smile: "As expected of the teacher's grandson, he really makes the teacher look good."
"Okay, please stop praising him. I never wanted to teach him Chinese studies, but it turns out he likes mathematics, which makes me mad."
Mr. Li was scolding, but everyone present could see from his expression that he was still very satisfied with his grandson.
Also, anyone who has a grandson who represents the country in the International Olympiad will be satisfied, even more satisfied than making a lot of money.
"Teacher, please go inside and rest first."
Xia Lan led her teacher inside, while Li Bin looked at Tang Jin. Looking at the girl in front of him, his heart was beating loudly.
In fact, he had met Tang Jin. When he and his school teachers went to Linchuan No. 1 Middle School, they met Tang Jin during an exchange activity for top students from the two schools. Although he did not speak, he remembered the name deeply.
.
This time when I was staying with my grandfather at home, my grandfather received a call saying that there was a birthday party for the daughter of a student, and the student invited him to attend. At that time, he casually asked who the girl was.
When he found out that the girl's name was Tang Jin, even though he thought it might just be the same name, he still chose to come with his grandfather. Of course, the excuse was that his grandfather needed someone to take care of him.
Seeing the beauty who had occupied his heart for more than a year standing in front of him, and looking even more beautiful than a year ago, his heart was filled with excitement.
"Classmate Tang Jin, I heard from grandpa that today is your birthday, and this is a birthday gift for you."
Li Bin took out a beautifully decorated box. When he saw the box, Mr. Li on the side showed a meaningful look on his face. He suddenly understood why his grandson came with him.
Taking care of yourself is a lie, the real reason is probably for the girl in front of you.
