The years of red flags

"Isn't this what the world is like?" Huo Daheng said in a low voice: "In the past, my father was not satisfied with Lingling as his daughter-in-law. He thought she was not worthy of being the mistress of the Huo family, but now he is extremely satisfied. Now Lingling is here The family also has to cooperate with my mother to manage some family affairs, and my mother now recognizes her abilities. "

"You don't have to show off to me that your family is harmonious." Jiang Hua smiled: "Your father is satisfied with his daughter-in-law. It seems that my father is not satisfied with his daughter-in-law."

"That's different. You have to know that I have suffered a lot in this regard. As long as this child is similar, I will definitely love her as much as I love my own daughter."

Jiang Hua nodded: "That's right. I married into your family. After becoming your wife, she was also his biological daughter. Besides, I told your dad about this yesterday. The old man can't I've spoken, as long as Jingjing marries into your family, you don't have to abide by all the feudal rules of the Huo family. "

"Is this really what my dad said?" Huo Daheng was surprised: "Treat them differently. Why didn't my wife have this treatment back then? If she had had this treatment, my wife wouldn't have divorced me."

"There is a saying in the north, the old man's eldest grandson is the lifeblood of the old lady. How can your eldest son be favored by his grandson? If you are jealous of your own son, you will have no one else."

Huo Daheng laughed twice: "Seriously, have you made arrangements for the hotel tonight? It must be of a high quality. When I treat my in-laws, I can't treat them lightly."

"Don't worry. How can I be careless about this? If I fail to handle the important matter of your Huo family, your eldest brother will definitely break off the friendship with me."

Huo Daheng nodded: "You have to run an errand. I really want to break up with you."

"You can eat the private dishes that were just opened two years ago. I promise you won't make a sound every time you eat them."

Huo Daheng frowned: "We should find a time-honored brand that only opened two years ago. I'm afraid I don't have enough background."

"Don't worry, this restaurant is definitely rich." Jiang Hua said cheerfully: "Tan Huaxuan, a restaurant passed down from the Qing Dynasty, is definitely high-end. I have some connections, so I asked a friend to transfer the private dining room he booked today. Give it to me."

"It's official food." Huo Daheng smiled and nodded: "That's okay. I'll toast you two glasses tonight. After all, you are also my son's matchmaker and godfather."

"To be precise, both of your parents have to toast me with a few glasses of wine. The wine is my own private collection. Counting to this day, I probably have nearly seventy years of daughter-in-law."

"Hmm!" Huo Daheng snorted: "Yes, this wine is suitable for the occasion, and it is just right tonight. It would be better if Qigang had this kind of wine when he got married."

"Go away, your family is hosting a banquet for at least a thousand people. Where did I get so many 70-year-old daughter red? I went to the rice wine factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to search for it myself."

"Just go." Huo Daheng said unconvinced: "I want to collect all the rice wine that is more than fifty years old in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and I won't leave a jar to you."

"Whatever, you can do whatever you like. I have searched for it more than ten years ago. I hope there will be some hidden gems for you to find."

"Then what a fool I am." Huo Daheng said fiercely: "I might as well just raid you and save myself the trouble."

"Do you want me to lend you some courage?" Jiang Hua said jokingly, "But there's something I need to tell you in advance."

"what's up?"

Jiang Hua warned: "This girl Jingjing is a sensible person and has her own plans for the future. I estimate that after she retires, she will most likely study for a period of time and will not get married immediately. Even if she does get married, she will not want to marry immediately." "Son, if you want to have a golden grandson, you may have to wait a few years." "It doesn't matter." Huo Daheng shook his head: "My thoughts are much more open-minded than those of my father's generation. As long as the couple is suitable, they can do whatever they want." "

Tan Huaxuan was brightly lit at night. Jiang Hua and his wife, as well as Huo Daheng and his wife, were sitting in the box chatting when the door opened.

Huo Qigang walked in with Guo Jingjing and his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He was in front, like a fool, trying his best to flatter.

"Uncle, aunt, please come in." Huo Qigang said with a charming smile, "My godfather, godmother, and parents have been waiting for a long time."

Jiang Hua and the others stood up quickly. As the host, Jiang Hua came up with a smile and shook hands with them: "Welcome, welcome, I am Qi Gang's godfather. It's not too much to call me in-laws."

"It should, it should." Father Guo said with a smile: "I heard from Qi Gang that you are still their matchmaker. I will toast you two more glasses later."

"Then I must be drunk." Jiang Hua laughed loudly: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Huo Zhenting, Qi Gang's father, and this is his mother, Ms. Zhu Lingling."

The parents shook hands with each other, which was considered acquaintance.

Jiang Hua greeted the waiter to serve the food, and while waiting, everyone chatted. Zhu Lingling, Lan Jieying and Guo's mother chatted about Guo Jingjing. Jiang Hua, Huo Daheng and Guo's father chatted about the future Olympics, and they were very congenial.

When the dishes were served, Jiang Hua raised his glass: "As the host and matchmaker, I will say a few words first. It is fate that our three families have come together. First of all, we wish the country prosperity and the Olympic Games to be held smoothly. , I wish Jingjing good results in the 08 Olympics, and I wish the young couple a happy future and a long life together.”

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The two began to discuss the engagement, and the Guo family insisted on keeping it simple and not causing a fuss.

Huo Daheng nodded: "That's what I mean too. Jingjing is preparing for the Olympics. If she is too showy at this time, the media will disturb Jingjing. The record in the Olympics is the first. Our old man also means the same, but it's a bit Sorry, she is an Olympic champion."

Father Guo waved his hand: "Love is the most important thing when a husband and wife get along. Those ceremonies are just the icing on the cake. Don't pay too much attention to it. It needs to be grand. When she wins the championship in 2008, the award ceremony will be the most grand."

"I have a little selfishness." Huo Daheng said apologetically: "This engagement is mainly to comfort my father. To put it bluntly, his time is running out, and he is most worried about his grandson's marriage. The engagement is a guarantee. , It’s for Jingjing and Qi Gang, and it also gives some comfort to the elderly.”

"Understand, old man, it's normal to worry about your grandson."

Jiang Hua said: "What I mean is, let the young couple exchange engagement rings in front of the old man, and let the old man be the witness. It is simple, but sincere."

Zhu Lingling nodded: "I think it's good. My father-in-law called my mother-in-law yesterday and asked me to bring a family heirloom. From now on, it will be quiet. I am jealous of this treatment."
