I really don't want to be reborn

"Because it's not Saturday, everyone is free."

Xiao Yu'er said softly.

Lu Yuqing thought to herself, maybe the classmate didn't come, so the girl felt a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing to do.

"Grandma specially ordered a bright red festive red dress. It costs 2000 yuan and it also has pearls. She cherishes it very much. She also said that the next time you wear it is when you get married."

When grandma was mentioned, Xiao Yuer took the initiative to ask, "How is grandma doing recently?"

"It's pretty good, you can eat and sleep, and you can still dislike me."

Lu Yuqing said with a smile.

Xiao Rongyu pursed her lips and buried her head in Lu Yuqing's arms. Lu Yuqing stroked Xiao Yu'er's back and muttered: "Daughter, Mom and Dad are only your daughter, so you must be happy... ..."

Hearing her mother's warm words, Xiao Rongyu felt her nose sour. She didn't want to cry in front of her mother, so she stood up and walked to the bathroom.

The moment she locked the door with a "clack", her tears could no longer be held back, and they flowed down in a "swish".

"I also understand that you are very busy, and you really don't have time to come back. You also want to say happy birthday to me."

Xiao Yu'er faced the mirror and whispered: "I'll at most pretend to be angry for a while, anyway, as long as you coax me a little bit."

"Girls, you must have a little vanity, but how can you forget, Chen Zhu!"

"But I just don't remind you, I don't care for the care I ask for."

"Chen Zhu, are you sad because you won't see me when I was 20 years old?"

......

Xiao Yu'er, Bai Yueguang who likes little romance, sweetness and surprises, in fact, only Chen Hansheng remembers his birthday.

"Dong dong dong."

Lu Yuqing's voice came from outside the door: "Daughter, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Xiao Rongyu turned on the faucet, firstly to cover up her crying, and secondly to wash her face so that her tears would not be seen by her parents.

When she walked out of the bathroom, Lu Yuqing actually waited outside, seeing Xiao Yuer's red eyes, Lu Yuqing knew that there was indeed something wrong with her daughter.

Lu Yuqing held Xiao Yu'er's face lovingly, sighed and said, "I asked you and didn't say anything, I'm so anxious for your mother, your temper is like mine, but you are more proud, you would rather be sad than bow your head."

......

On the 17th, Xiao Rongyu accompanied her parents to meet some relatives, and tried on a beautiful dress, which will be worn for tomorrow's birthday.

But until the evening, Xiao Rongyu's mood was still very low, she kept turning on her phone, hoping for a piece of news that would make her happy.

In fact, the message was very short, only 6 words.

"Happy birthday to you."

But until after midnight, the phone was still pitch-black and silent, like a brick without emotion, but it was my roommate Bian Shishi who called.

"Happy birthday baby."

Bian Shishi was shivering from the cold: "However, your Hong Kong city is so cold..."

"That's right, Hong Kong City is much colder than Jianye Jianye."

Xiao Rongyu listened to the noise over there, as if there were a lot of people: "Why did you suddenly talk about the weather in Hong Kong City, haven't you returned to the dormitory yet?"

"what?......"

Bian Shishi quickly explained: "I'm worried that you'll catch a cold when you go back, hahaha I'm going to die, good night, we love you forever."

Xiao Rongyu thought that "we" was speaking on behalf of the dormitory, and he didn't take it to heart. He just waited until after 1 o'clock, and the expected message hadn't been seen yet.

In the end, it was Lu Yuqing who coaxed her to sleep like she did when she was a child.

On the morning of the 18th, when the family was eating, Xiao Hongwei and Lu Yuqing kept talking on the phone. For example, some relatives could not find their way, or there was a problem with the hotel and they needed to communicate.

"Director Xiao, the master of ceremonies is already in place, when will you come over?"

"master of ceremonies?"

Xiao Hongwei was stunned for a moment, wondering when I invited the master of ceremonies, but Lu Yuqing didn't take it seriously: "Maybe the hotel gave it as a gift for your sake."

"I can't take advantage of this advantage."

Lao Xiao took out a red envelope and put 200 yuan in it: "I will give the red envelope to the master of ceremonies at that time, I can't just gossip about people just after being promoted."

......

Chapter 385 Entering the village quietly, don't shoot guns

Since its opening, Oriental Hotel has been in business almost every day, probably because of its location, service, and word-of-mouth. It is the hotel in the front of Hong Kong City. The morning of the 18th was full of sunshine, dispelling a deep chill.

Xiao Hongwei was holding a banquet here today. The hotel manager personally asked about the details, trying to make a good impression, so that we can talk to each other when we meet again in the future.

At the main entrance, a dazzling banner has been drawn.

"Happy 20th birthday to my daughter Xiao Rongyu!"

This is the characteristic of the customs in northern Jiangsu. The age of 20 is a very important day, second only to weddings and funerals.

Around 9:[-], a group of people appeared one after another at the entrance of the hotel, some were old ladies wearing gray and white padded jackets, some were women with children in their arms, some uncles were smoking dry cigarettes, and of course some were wearing thin leather jackets in cold weather young people.

One by one, they shook hands and greeted each other from afar, and called each other affectionately.

These are all relatives of Xiao Hongwei's family. Although Lao Xiao and Lu Yuqing's family is very good, some relatives are just simple farmers, but they are very enthusiastic. I heard that the juniors or cousins ​​are over 20 years old, and they came to the city by car very early. .

In fact, rural people pay more attention to etiquette and have a deeper sense of family.

After 9:[-], another group of relatives came over.

Most of this part came by car, and each of them seemed to be a middle-aged couple with a successful career, and their children were neatly dressed. The cigarettes they took out were all more than 20 yuan, and there were even a lot of Chinese.

In fact, it is very strange to say that everyone is obviously relatives, but the rich relatives will go to Xiao Hongwei's house to sit first, as if to show their faces; those who are more ordinary, everyone has a tacit understanding to come first to the hotel.

This is also an interesting manifestation of the social rural view.

Around 10 o'clock, Lao Xiao's family also came over, because relatives kept coming to the door, and it was delayed for a long time.

Lao Xiao is considered a figure in the small city of Hong Kong, so some relatives will not be angry if they wait for an hour, especially the hotel manager is very good at being a man, and keeps asking the waiter to bring tea and water.

After getting off the car, Lao Xiao apologized one by one: "Sorry, sorry, we are late."

"It's okay, cousin, where's the eldest niece?"

"It's not too late, it's only 10 o'clock."

"That's right, we just arrived."

......

The relatives were very considerate and comforted. Xiao Hongwei took out Zhonghua from his pocket and started to smoke while exchanging greetings. At this time, Xiao Rongyu's grandma, mother and herself got out of the car.

Grandma is wearing a bright red padded jacket, with pearls dotted on the sleeves, looking very festive;

Mom is wearing a brown woolen trench coat, which adds luxury;

Xiao Rongyu is wearing a pink down jacket with light makeup on, her delicate melon face is crystal clear like jade, her curled eyelashes are flickering, her mouth is pink and shiny, and her iconic ponytail is shaking with her body Swinging from side to side, it shows the liveliness and youth of the 20-year-old.

Relatives gathered around with a smile.

"Second Mistress, your old man is celebrating his birthday."

"Sister-in-law, your windbreaker style is really beautiful."

"Xiao Yu'er is already 20 years old, and she will always be so beautiful."

......

Next, Xiao Hongwei took Xiao Rongyu to greet relatives.

Because some relatives don't have much contact with her, and because she goes to school, she may not have met a few times, but since she is attending the banquet, she must be called politely.

Xiao Yu'er has a sharp tongue, a sweet voice, and a good family. Many elders still want to give red envelopes. Lu Yuqing hurriedly stopped them. It's been more than a month since the Spring Festival, so how can I receive red envelopes.

Brothers of the same generation in their 20s, when they saw how beautiful their younger sister was, they responded shyly.

Before the hello was finished, Xiao Rongyu was already followed by a bunch of little kids, all elementary school students and kindergarten teams, they saw that her sister was beautiful, and they all wrapped around her thighs, looking up at Xiao Rongyu with her small face .

The hotel manager knew he was coming, so he quickly came out of the lobby to greet him. He deliberately took out the Jianye Nine-Five Supreme, and said respectfully and warmly: "There are quite a few people today."

"Ah."

Xiao Hongwei was a little dizzy from being busy, and he asked shortly: "Is everything arranged?"

"All right."

The hotel manager patted his chest and assured: "There will be no problem."

Xiao Hongwei felt relieved, and shook hands with the hotel manager: "Then leave it to you."

"correct."

Old Xiao took out another red envelope from his pocket: "This is for the master of ceremonies, please convey it to me."

Holding the red envelope, the hotel manager wondered: Isn’t it the master of ceremonies that you invited, and it wasn’t invited by the hotel, how can I convey it?

But Xiao Hongwei didn't have time to explain, because around 10:[-], he and Lu Yuqing's colleagues came over.

Lao Xiao hurriedly left his relatives behind, and took Xiao Rongyu to greet this group of uncles and aunts.

Relatives will not feel left out, but envious, because you can tell from the friends you make with how well a person is doing.

Lao Chen and Liang Meijuan also came over. Their work unit was close, and they made an appointment to walk here.

"How did you show up?"

Xiao Hongwei hurriedly said: "My voice is hoarse when I speak."

"Uncle Chen, Aunt Liang."

Xiao Yuer also came over to say hello.

"Girlfriend~"

Liang Meijuan didn't know what to say, she stretched out her arms to hug Xiao Rongyu, and Xiao Yu'er obediently leaned her head on Liang Meijuan's shoulder.

They all knew that Chen Hansheng would be absent from the banquet.

But Xiao Hongwei didn't know, he even looked back: "Where is Han Sheng, where did this kid go to play?"

"He He......"

Liang Meijuan didn't know how to explain it.

Fortunately, Xiao Hongwei just asked a casual question. He absolutely did not believe that Chen Hansheng would be absent today. He turned to Chen Zhaojun and said, "Old Chen, I am going to take care of my relatives. Please help me comfort my colleagues in the unit, Xiao Yuer." You follow Dad, there are still some elders here who need to know."

After Xiao Hongwei left with his daughter, Liang Meijuan looked at her husband: "What should I do, the dog is not answering the phone yet, why don't we put down the gift money and go back..."

"What nonsense?"

Chen Zhaojun directly interrupted his wife: "The son ran away, can the parents run away?"

Lao Chen took out his social cigarette and began to help Xiao Hongwei greet the guests.

If it is said where Chen Hansheng learned his social and social skills, half of it was brought about by his independent personality, and the other half was influenced by Lao Chen's side.

I saw Chen Zhaojun "infiltrating" calmly. When he met a guest, he would introduce his identity first, and then talk about some anecdotes in the Hong Kong city; when he met Xiao Hongwei's relatives in the countryside, he would talk about this year's harvest; For the richer relatives, Lao Chen talked to them about the changes in the market economic system.

Old Chen has practiced handwriting for many years, and he has a good self-cultivation and bearing. In addition, the unit is good, so everyone will give him some face when he greets him.

Standing in the sun until 11 o'clock, the hotel manager said that it was almost time, and the banquet officially started at 12 o'clock, Xiao Hongwei called everyone to enter the main hall.

"Hurry up, girl, you are the protagonist today."

Lao Xiao saw Xiao Yu'er standing at the door, keeping his eyes on the south.

"understood."

Xiao Rongyu responded silently, there was no red Xiali in sight, only a gray bus slowly driving in.

This bus is very inconspicuous, with a Jianye license plate.

In the carriage, the discussion was all about the life of college students.

"We changed dormitories this semester. I have been suffering from insomnia in the new dormitory. I didn't expect to sleep comfortably in Hong Kong City."
