Reborn as a man

Chapter 58

"Xiao Yun, what did you need from Old Dong just now?" During class, Li Yichen asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just to ask for leave." Xiao Yun frowned slightly, and said lightly.

"Ah? Asking for leave? When is it?" Li Yichen was taken aback, and hurried to Xiao Yun and asked.

"Next Tuesday, the wedding banquet." Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows, twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, and then went back to his seat, not paying attention to Li Yichen who was struggling at the side.

'It's a great thing to be able to attend the wedding banquet without going to class, but why is Xiao Yun angry? ' Li Yichen glanced at Xiao Yun who was lying on the table and dozed off, and sighed secretly. "Oh, it seems that I still don't know Xiao Yun well enough..."

"What a hypocritical relative..." Xiao Yun buried his head in his arms, no one could see his current expression.

The protagonist of this wedding banquet is Xiao Da, the daughter of Xiao Yun's second uncle Xiao Lian.Xiao Da is 27 years old this year. She has opened a small company and found a boyfriend who is a white-collar worker in a foreign company. In the eyes of others, she is very accomplished.As the only daughter of a very important person in JK's logistics department, Xiao Da's wedding must be perfect. At the very least, all members of the Xiao family must attend the wedding, although Xiao Lian's family looks down on Xiao Dacheng's family.

Xiao Lian notified Xiao Dacheng of this matter by phone, and every time Xiao Yun thought about it, he would get angry.It's just that Xiao Lian didn't come to invite Xiao Dacheng, so why was he so arrogant on the phone?It's as if it's not an invitation, but an order!Also, what do you mean by "Xiao Yun must also be present, otherwise it will be outrageous" and "junior high school courses are very good, so it's okay to take a day off"?Back then, his daughter Xiao Da had never asked for leave for these messy reasons.In addition, what do you mean by 'You must take a taxi here, otherwise the place will be hard to find'?Wasn't it because he was afraid that others would take the bus and lose Xiao Lian's face?Well, at least Xiao Yun is very thankful that under Cui Wenhui's repeated emphasis, Xiao Dacheng did not tell the big group of Xiao family about his small fortune from opening a restaurant, otherwise, Xiao Dacheng would very likely become Xiao Dacheng. Da is the 'sponsor' of this wedding.

In fact, Xiao Yun has always been curious about the tangled relationship among members of the Xiao family.In the previous life, the Xiao family was all girls from the younger generation. It is understandable that Xu Xiuqin, the old lady of Xiao, didn't like Xiao Xiaolu, the youngest and unpleasant granddaughter. But in this life, Xiao Yun is a boy, but Xu Xiuqin treats Xiao Dacheng's family like Attitude didn't improve either.As for Xiao Dacheng's younger brothers and sisters, they more or less looked down on Xiao Dacheng, and they didn't have the concept of 'elder brother is father' at all.Xiao Yun was puzzled, how bad is his father Xiao Dacheng, and the Xiao family didn't want to see him?Well, Xiao Dacheng has some minor problems such as 'love smoking', 'love drinking' and 'credulity in others', but he is still a good father and a reliable elder in Xiao Yun's heart. Even in the last life, Xiao Dacheng He also used his modest pension to train Xiao Xiaolu into a college student.

'Let me see if these so-called relatives are still as disgusting as they were in the previous life! Xiao Yun sat up straight, hammered the table heavily, and thought with a sneer.

……

"Dad, isn't it just for a wedding? As for asking me to buy this new suit?" Xiao Yun tugged at the collar of his uncomfortable shirt and complained unhappily.

"Xiaoyun, how are you talking?" Xiao Dacheng frowned, and said in a low voice: "Look at the clothes in your closet, how many are not black? Is it appropriate for you to wear black to your sister's wedding!? "

'I don't want to go yet! 'Xiao Yun narrowed his cat's eyes slightly, with an unhappy expression on his face.

"Okay, don't talk about children!" Cui Wenhui, who also had a bad face, glanced at Xiao Dacheng who was a little uncomfortable, and then said to Xiao Yun with a smile: "Xiao Yun, didn't you just buy some clothes? Anyway, you seldom have time to buy clothes, and besides, the clothes are pretty, so don't be childish!"

"En." Hearing these words, Xiao Yun's face softened, and he felt a little proud.He stroked the dust on his shoulders and walked towards the fitting mirror at home.

A handsome boy gradually appeared in the fitting mirror.The boy's short black hair was a little messy, his eyes were slightly squinted, his face was wrinkled, and his impatient and awkward look was surprisingly cute.He was wearing a slightly oversized light gray plaid stand-up collar shirt, and a black and gray gradation-colored hoodless vest, which looked very formal but not rigid.Although he was wearing a pair of slightly baggy pure black jeans, this did not conceal his slender figure, but added an indifferent and lazy temperament to him.Of course, everything would be perfect if the mismatched house slippers on his feet were ignored.

"It's almost time, let's go." After checking whether the things that should be brought are complete, Xiao Dacheng said.

Cui Wenhui gave an 'um' and agreed, and Xiao Yun immediately changed his shoes for going out, and put on a light gray hoodie coat, expressing his good wishes of 'going early and returning early' in a very subtle way. .

……

The place where the wedding is held is a place similar to a guest house in JK that integrates functions such as 'catering', 'accommodation' and 'meeting room'. People who are not inside JK are really unfamiliar with this place.Therefore, before and after Xiao Dacheng's family finally got the taxi driver to send them to the door of this guest house, Xiao Dacheng decided to call Xiao Lian with some unease and asked him to come out to pick them up.

The call was connected quickly, Xiao Dacheng said a few words to Xiao Lian, and the other end of the phone responded quickly, and then hung up the phone.Xiao Dacheng frowned, but his face softened when he thought of the noisy voice on the other side of the phone.In his opinion, his second brother must be busy with the wedding banquet, so he couldn't get away, so he had to end the call quickly.Xiao Yun, who knows Xiao Dacheng's personality well, saw his father like this, and soon knew that Xiao Dacheng was "beautifying and making up" by himself, but as a junior, Xiao Yun couldn't say anything directly to Xiao Dacheng, I had no choice but to smile wryly.

After more than ten minutes, Xiao Lian, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, rushed out of the guest house and waved to Xiao Dacheng's family standing near the entrance of the guest house.Seeing Xiao Lian's hasty look, Xiao Dacheng's family walked quickly to Xiao Lian, but they didn't expect Xiao Lian to complain to Xiao Dacheng's family as soon as they came to Xiao Lian.

"Brother and sister-in-law, why are you standing next to the door? It's embarrassing for others to see it." Xiao Lian frowned, ignoring the unhappy expressions of Xiao Dacheng's family, and said to himself: "I've been too busy these days. , I just finished talking to Director XX just now, oh, come on, Xiaoyun has grown taller again, shake hands with Second Uncle..."

"Uh, hello, Second Uncle." Xiao Yun frowned, and shook hands with Xiao Lian calmly.

"En." Xiao Lian nodded, calmly withdrew his hand, and then said to Xiao Dacheng: "Brother, let's go quickly, Mom and the others have arrived."

'Unified has a car to pick them up, of course they can arrive early. Xiao Yun glanced at Xiao Lian vaguely, then rubbed his right hand on his clothes in disgust.

"Well, let's go." Xiao Dacheng nodded, followed Xiao Lian to the guest house, Xiao Yun and Cui Wenhui followed immediately.

"By the way, Xiao Lian, this is the money for your Xiao Da." Xiao Dacheng, who was walking beside Xiao Lian, took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Lian.

"Brother, your family's conditions are not very good. Xiao Yun is still in school and needs money, so forget about it." Xiao Lian shook his head and pushed the red envelope back.

'...Xiao Lian also did a good job on this point. Listening to the conversation between Xiao Dacheng and Xiao Lian, Xiao Yun thought with a complicated expression.

……

"Brother, we're here." Xiao Lian opened the door of the banquet hall for Xiao Dacheng's family gracefully, and said, "I'll take you to the table where mom is sitting in a while, and then I'm leaving, there are too many things to do today. "

This is a banquet hall on the second floor of the guest house. There are more than [-] tables of banquets in the banquet hall, and almost every table is full of people, which is very lively.The banquet hall was decorated very festively, with festive red decorations everywhere, which highlighted the lively atmosphere of the wedding banquet.

"Mom, big brother and the others are here." Xiao Lian led Xiao Dacheng's family to a round table in front, and said to Xu Xiuqin who was sitting in the best seat.

"Well, go and do your work." Xu Xiuqin nodded to Xiao Lian, and then said to Xiao Dacheng: "Why are you here so late? I don't know that Lian Zi is busy, so let him pick you up?"

"Isn't there a traffic jam on the road? We are not familiar with this place..." Xiao Dacheng explained with some embarrassment, and Cui Wenhui's expression on the side was also a little ugly.

"Grandma is good!" Seeing this, Xiao Yun, who was complaining about his own family, spoke up, and blocked the old lady's subsequent complaints.

"...Well, Xiao Yun has grown taller again." Xu Xiuqin looked at Xiao Yun with an unhappy expression, and then said impatiently: "Everyone sit down, don't stand up, the wedding will begin in a while."

'Is it because we are afraid that our family will be ashamed to stand here? Xiao Yun didn't show it on his face, he obediently said hello to the uncles, aunts and sisters on the table, but he couldn't stop laughing in his heart.

Because Xiao Dacheng's family came last, they could only sit in the seats facing away from the podium.Regarding this, Xiao Yun didn't feel much except that he was a little upset, because if it was possible, he didn't want to attend this boring wedding at all.

There was still some time before the wedding officially started, and the guests were drinking tea or chatting quietly with others, and no one made any loud noises.

'These people are quite talented. 'Xiao Yun thought to himself.

Just as Xiao Yun was about to enjoy some peace here, someone came to 'cause trouble' over there.

"Xiao Yun, you see there is no water in everyone's cups, why don't you pour some water for everyone?" Xiao Yun's old aunt Wang Baolian said jokingly, but the movements of her hands were not joking, she directly Moved the teapot on the table to Xiao Yun.

'Yo?Want to use me as a small worker like in the last life? Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows, and said jokingly: "Chairman Mao said well, 'You can get enough food and clothing yourself'. Old lady, if you want to drink water, you should pour it yourself."

"Xiao Yun, you are a junior, so you should respect your elders." Wang Baolian, who always felt that Xiao Yun was young and easy to handle, was a little unhappy, and began to use seniority to oppress others.

"Auntie, I'm the youngest, so I should 'respect the old and love the young'. Also, I'm a boy, so it's inappropriate to do a girl's job." Xiao Yun twitched his mouth and retorted with a smile , and then pointedly glanced at Xiao Jing, the daughter of his third uncle Xiao Yong, who was already in college.

Seeing that Xiao Yun was 'bullying' her head, the hot-tempered Xiao Jing immediately wanted to slap the table and curse, but was immediately stopped by her mother, Qian Ru.But Qian Ru didn't mean to let Xiao Yun go, she asked in a superior tone like an elder: "Xiao Yun, how do you talk about this child? Xiao Jing is your sister, how can you be angry with your sister? Woolen cloth?"

'elder sister?She has never regarded me as a relative, has she? Thinking of Xiao Jing's cynicism towards Xiao Xiaolu who had not yet entered primary school in the previous life, Xiao Yun's eyes sharpened, and he said innocently: "Third Aunt, I never mentioned my sister when I spoke just now, how can I be so angry?" Where's my sister?"

"You..." Qian Ru was so choked that she was about to say a few more words when she was interrupted by Mrs. Xiao.

"Okay, stop talking, what does it look like to be arguing?" Seeing that more and more guests around her began to pay attention to the dispute at her table, the face-saving Xu Xiuqin couldn't take it anymore.She reprimanded in a low voice: "Isn't it just pouring water? Don't argue, whoever wants to drink water pours it himself!"

Even though he said this, Xiao Yun still noticed that Xu Xiuqin stared at him in dissatisfaction, and even Xiao Dacheng gave him a look of resentment, which made Xiao Yun feel terrible.

'...the elbow turned outward. 'Xiao Yun cursed with a stinky face.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the wedding to officially begin, otherwise Xiao Yun couldn't guarantee that he would leave in a huff.

The emcee's speech, the leader's speech of the newcomer, the parent's speech of the newcomer, the speech of the newcomer...

This series of speeches made Xiao Yun dizzy. In the end, he only remembered that the bride, Xiao Da, had mentioned the 'red carpet' N times for embellishment.Hearing someone from the side say that the word 'red carpet' is really well used, Xiao Yun almost laughed out loud.

'Please, anyone who has attended junior high school will use this word, okay?Maybe in elementary school? Unknowingly, Xiao Yun had a poisonous tongue.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yun's eyes lit up when he finally heard the words 'the wedding banquet has begun', and he quickly stretched his chopsticks towards his favorite dish.If you want the uncles and aunts here to serve him food, that is a dream.If someone really wants to show kindness and pick up a chopstick dish for Xiao Yun, then he will pick it up casually, because these people don't care what Xiao Yun likes to eat at all.

As soon as the dishes were half served, Xiao Yun was already [-]% full.He drank the juice in his glass and planned to leave the table.Normally, Xiao Yun would definitely eat until he was [-]% full, but Xiao Yun lost his appetite when eating with 'outsiders', and he didn't want to stay here and listen to these people's insinuations, so Xiao Yun planned to go out for a walk .

"Xiao Yun, the dishes are not ready yet, let's leave later." Cui Wenhui who was sitting beside Xiao Yun said in a low voice.

"No, Mom, I'm full." Xiao Yun shook his head, said softly, and then walked slowly outside the banquet hall.

Some members of the Xiao family saw Xiao Yun, but they only looked at Xiao Yun a few times, and no one said a word to persuade him to stay.From their point of view, even if Xiao Yun was really hungry, it had nothing to do with them.It is conceivable what status the Xiao Dacheng family has in the hearts of the Xiao family.Xiao Yun didn't care about this, because he already knew what the fate of this decadent Xiao family would be in the future.

'However, I still feel a little upset! Xiao Yun put his hands in his pockets, squinted his eyes and looked around, then strode towards the stairs. 'This floor seems to be similar to banquet halls, why don't you go upstairs and have a look, otherwise it will be too boring. '

"Boring, damn the banquet, wasting my time..." Xiao Yun groaned as he walked upstairs with his head buried in his head, but unexpectedly bumped into a person who was about to go downstairs by accident.

'Who?Almost knocked me off! Xiao Yun raised his head and stared at the culprit in front of him unhappily.

It was a young soldier about 20 years old. He had very neat short hair, dark skin, and ordinary features, but the serious expression on his face showed that he was very resolute.He was wearing a very common camouflage military uniform, and he did not wear epaulets, which made it impossible for Xiao Yun to judge his military rank.

……

Lei Qing is an orphan of a martyr.Lei Qing's father belonged to the Chinese special operations force and died in a secret mission. His mother also died of illness when he was a few years old.Lei Qing's grandfather was a veteran who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and his grandmother was also a member of the Military Art Troupe.Lei Ting grew up in this military-like family, so he naturally obeyed Mr. Lei's arrangement and joined the army after graduating from high school.Although there are only two old men and Lei Qing left in the Lei family, Mr. Lei's old comrades-in-arms and Lei Qing's father's comrades always take care of the Lei family from time to time, which makes the three members of the Lei family not have a hard life.After leaving the recruit company, Lei Qing, who was under 20 years old, relied on his own ability and the care of a group of old comrades from the Lei family, and became the "guard" next to Master Wang.In fact, Lei Qing is not considered an official guard, because in peacetime, only the chiefs of the army level can be equipped with guards. Lei Qing's current situation is just under the accommodation of the old comrades in the Lei family. The teacher brought Lei Qing by his side to gain insight.Mr. Wang, who once owed favors to an old friend of the Lei family, did not really use Lei Qing as a bodyguard, otherwise he would lose face and be said to be a 'leapfrog', so Mr. Wang just used some means to make Lei Qing Transfer to my side for a year.Although Lei Qing was quite disgusted with this kind of "using power for personal gain", he knew Mr. Lei's good intentions, so he acquiesced in this approach, and studied with Mr. Wang very seriously, which made Mr. Wang a little like it This is a smart, studious and sensible young man.This time, Master Wang brought Lei Qing to the JK guest house to meet his old classmates from JK, and talk about the trial of new weapons by the way.The meeting place happened to be on the third floor of the guest house, not far from the wedding banquet hall on the second floor.At first, Mr. Wang and the others who were talking didn't pay attention to the noise downstairs, but the increasingly noisy voices made the elders quite curious, so Mr. Wang sent Lei Qing downstairs to check the situation.Lei Qing took the order and left, he was guessing the situation downstairs, he didn't expect to be distracted, and collided with Xiao Yun who was about to go upstairs.

'The boy was, well, pretty good-looking. After looking at Xiao Yun twice, Lei Qing, who is used to seeing tough guys in the army, really felt a little awkward.

"What do you think I am doing?" Xiao Yun's temper was a little irritable due to the successive troubles, and he said very bluntly.

"...You were the one who bumped into it first, kid." Lei Qing said with some amusement.

"Hmph, I'm going up, get out of the way, uncle." Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and said with a smirk.

"Well, the third floor is the conference room, and you can't go up casually." Lei Qing twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly.

'...'Xiao Yun glared at Lei Qing, then walked back angrily, he didn't suddenly feel ashamed!

"Well, wait a minute, do you know why the banquet hall over there is so lively?" Seeing this, Lei Qing hurriedly ran after the boy in front, and asked eagerly.

"Wedding banquet." Xiao Yun quickened his pace with a cold face.

"Whose wedding?"

"do not know."

"..."

In this way, one of the two walked forward quickly, and the other chased after leisurely. The embarrassed look on the face of the boy walking in front was much less, and a lively smile appeared on the face of the young man walking behind. In short, everything is harmonious.
