Chapter 503

When she came to Volga restaurant, Han Mingyan was nervous and excited.

She has been in Beijing for three years, but she has never come in.

It has long been said that Western restaurants are very high-end, and the food they eat is from foreign countries. Ordinary people can't afford it. She has been looking forward to it for a long time.

As soon as she thought that she would be able to taste the western food she had been looking forward to for three years, and that she would see the family of commander Zhou, she was nervous and excited, and was full of expectations.

Stepping up the steps and entering through the revolving door, Han Mingyan instantly entered a palace like world.

Wow, this western restaurant is gorgeous, isn't it!

The spacious and bright hall is a luxurious European style decoration. Beautiful wallpaper is pasted on the wall of the dining room, and magnificent gold-plated chandeliers are hung on the top of the seven meter high shed. Five copper pillars stand in the center of the hall like mainstays. The dining tables in the room are all neatly arranged. The tables are covered with light yellow tablecloths, and there are tall glasses on the tables.

With the dark red square tableware, gorgeous seats with armrests and colorful floor tiles, the whole restaurant looks gorgeous and dignified.

Han Mingyan walked into the magnificent hall with excitement, trying to keep calm, so as not to be looked down upon by others as a country bumpkin.

A young waiter in a black Bragi and white apron came up, led them to an empty table and asked them to sit down.

Liu Hongdong quite gentlemanly asked Han Mingyan what he wanted to eat. Han Mingyan immediately said cleverly, "uncle Liu, please order. I'll eat what you order."

She is the first time in her life to come to such a high-end place. She really doesn't know what to eat and can't order. In order to avoid making a fool of herself, she decided to give Liu Hongdong the right to order.

When Liu Hongdong saw that she was so clever, he took the menu with a smile and ordered a pot stewed beef, a buttered roast fish, a buttered mushroom soup, a foie gras and three slices of bread.

Han Mingyan listened to the names of those tall dishes and looked at the gorgeous hall. She sighed in her heart. It's good to have money!

You can not only enjoy the best service, but also eat the best things in the best restaurants. No wonder everyone wants to be rich and powerful?

"Mingyan, can you see these? If you want anything else, you can order it yourself. Uncle Liu will pay for it. " Liu Hongdong put down the menu and said to Han Mingyan generously.

Liu Fang looked at her father, when did her father become so generous?

With a shy smile, Han Mingyan said: "uncle Liu, these are already very good. You probably don't know. In fact, my family is from the Northeast countryside. The conditions at home are very bad. On weekdays, even a piece of meat tastes bad! It's a blessing for uncle Liu to be able to eat these things today. "

When Liu Hongdong heard that Han Mingyan was from the Northeast countryside, he was surprised and said, "it's not like your accent is similar to that of the capital."

"That's because I've been in the capital for a long time. I'm a junior, and I haven't been back home these years. When I'm with people in the capital all day, it's hard to avoid my accent changing," Han said

Liu Hongdong said: "it's really hard for you. You haven't been home for three years. Why don't you go back in winter and summer?"

At the mention of this topic, Han Mingyan seems to be a little lost.

She bowed her head, bit her lips, and whispered: "the ticket from the capital to my hometown is too expensive. The round trip ticket is enough for my living expenses for two months. Besides, I have to go out to work during the holiday to earn money. Otherwise, the grant from the school is not enough. I miss my parents very much, but I can't help it..."

When commander Liu saw the little girl's pitiful appearance, he was very pitiful. Some people want to help her, but after all, they are not familiar with her. If they want to help or subsidize her, it's a bit abrupt.

Therefore, he could only watch her pitifully, which made his heart ache.

While waiting for dinner, Han Mingyan proposed to go to the bathroom.

Taking the opportunity to go to the bathroom, she walked around the dining room and found the small dining room inside the curtain as she passed the column with the curtain hanging.

Sure enough, Han Mingxiu and Zhou Junchang are dining in a more upscale and quiet small restaurant.

The small restaurant is more luxurious and elegant than the hall outside. Inside, there is a man in black dress playing the violin. At this time, Han Mingxiu is sitting around with the Zhou family, chatting in a low voice while eating.

Everyone talks and laughs. The atmosphere is very warm.

Although Zhou Xilong and his wife talk and laugh, in fact, they are not willing to eat Western food. In their eyes, how dare they buy some elbow meat to eat?

However, because Yaoyao likes to eat, the couple just don't like to eat. They also insist on sitting here, watching the children's happiness and their smiling faces. Let alone let them eat Western food, they are also happy to let them eat the worst food

When I'm with Uncle Zhou's family, I don't need Han Mingxiu to take care of Yao Yao. Uncle Zhou, aunt Zhou and Xiao Zhou all rush to wait on the little girl!

At this time, Han Mingxiu is holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, enjoying a portion of foie gras. He is eating it with relish when he suddenly sees Han Mingyan coming towards them.

At the sight of Han Mingyan, Han Wenxiu's face changed immediately. Originally, she was still smiling. Her face turned black in an instant.

If a respectable person sees the person who is about to say hello to her, he will turn around and walk away.

However, Han Mingyan is not a shameful person. No matter what Han Mingxiu's attitude, she still kept a sweet smile, went to their table and said, "Oh, Xiu, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Her exclamation naturally attracted the eyes of the Zhou family.

See everyone to themselves, Han Mingyan before Han Mingxiu opened a mouth: "show, these are your friends! Hello, everyone. I'm Han Mingyan, the cousin of Xiu. "

As soon as the Zhou family heard that they were Han Mingxiu's cousin, they looked at Han Mingyan with friendly eyes.

Aunt Zhou even stood up to invite her to dinner.

However, before aunt Zhou said it, Han Mingxiu said coldly, "it's really a coincidence, but we're having dinner and we don't have time to talk about the past with you. Please help yourself."

It's obvious that I don't want to see her. I'm asking her to leave!

Zhou Shujia was surprised to see Han Mingxiu's cold and merciless attitude towards Han Mingyan.

However, they understand Han Mingxiu's character and know that she has always been a kind and loving person, and will not treat anyone like this for no reason.

Since she has such an attitude towards this cousin, it proves that there must be something wrong with her.

So, everyone's eyes to Han Mingyan are no longer friendly, aunt Zhou also sat down, originally all to the mouth of the invitation also swallow stomach.

Han Mingyan thought that in order to leave a gentle and sensible impression on the Zhou family, Han Mingxiu should also pretend to be intimate and affectionate with his sisters. I didn't expect that she had no scruples to turn over her face. She was not afraid that the Zhou family had an opinion on her.

After hearing Han Mingxiu's words, Han Mingyan quickly glanced at the Zhou family.

But see Zhou family all together looking at her, originally friendly eyes suddenly changed. It's cold, alienated, tentative, speculative, not friendly at all.

In this way, the Zhou family is totally on the side of Han Mingxiu.

Even if she was not polite, even if she was arrogant. The Chou family didn't feel that half a point was wrong, as if they didn't need any reason or excuse. They could completely trust Han Mingxiu and stand on the same front with him unconditionally.

Han Mingyan never thought of this situation.

No wonder Han Mingxiu can be so bold!

Han Mingyan paused for a moment, and then said pitifully: "Oh, then... I won't disturb you. Take your time, Xiu. I'll go first..."

With that, he took a deep look at Han Mingxiu, turned around and walked away slowly.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and said, "Xiu, we are sisters, brothers and grandsons..."

With that, he ran away choking.

It seems that I have been wronged a lot.

Han Mingxiu rolled a white eye in the heart, secretly scolded a: neuropathy, this is to pretend poor to who to see? No matter how well she plays, it depends on who the audience is? With their feelings for her, uncle Zhou and aunt Zhou, even if she died in front of them, they would not pity her, let alone her.

Xiao Zhou saw Han Mingyan running away crying and said, "sister Xiu, who is this woman? Why does it look so annoying? "

Han Mingxiu said: "she is really my cousin, but she is not with me. She has never dealt with me since childhood, and has done many things that I can't forgive her. So, I don't want to talk about her any more, so we can't affect our good mood. Let's eat our food..."

Han Mingxiu didn't want to mention a disgusting person when we had a good meal together, and he didn't want to discuss the length of people behind their backs. So he ended the topic and continued to eat with us

And Han Mingyan, after meeting with Han Mingxiu, soon returned to their table.

When Liu Fang saw her coming back, she waved to her happily and said, "I thought you were lost and I couldn't find you. I was going to find you."

Han Mingyan pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "how can it be? Just met an acquaintance just now and said two words.... "

Before long, Liu Hongdong's order came up.

Han Mingyan also began to eat with them.

This meal is actually very rich. But Han Mingyan thought of the dishes she had just seen on the table of the Zhou family. It seems that the number of them is more than that. And they also drank red wine, the crystal clear goblet filled with amber wine, a look very good to drink.

Obviously, they all eat in this restaurant, but the grade of their table seems to be much higher than that of their own.

Han Mingyan is very unfair and jealous, but now is not the time to care about these things.

If Han Mingxiu doesn't recognize her sister, she can't go to the Zhou family. What should she do? How can she fight with Han Mingxiu? In other words, how can we climb this tree?

As she dined, she thought, and her words were much less than before.

When Liu Hongdong saw that she was not as lively and beautiful as she had just started, he thought that she was still sad about the fact that she hadn't returned to her hometown for three years and didn't have a fare, so he thought about it

How can we give her some money to go home without being rude?

**

"Mother, it's been so many days. My elder brother should have received our letter, too? Why hasn't he answered our letter yet

At dinner, when Huo Changsheng saw the rice gruel and mustard lumps stewed potatoes on the table, he didn't feel sour water in his stomach again. He immediately remembered the people who could make him live a good life.

Aunt Huo said calmly: "it's supposed to have been received long ago. If he wants to send us money, it will be almost the same in the past two days. Wait a minute..."

"Niang, do you think he can not give us money? If he doesn't give us mail, how can it be done?"

Xifeng is sitting on the edge of the Kang with her child in her arms. Since her mother-in-law said that she would dig out money from Huo Jianfeng, her attitude towards her mother-in-law has been obviously more submissive.

Once upon a time, when eating, she always took the bowl to eat, regardless of whether the old man was on the table or not! However, since her mother-in-law said that she would squeeze money from Huo Jianfeng, she is now able to wait for her mother-in-law to come to the table every day.

This change makes aunt Huo feel very happy. As an elder, what do you care most about? Is it not the respect and filial piety of the younger generation?

To be respected and recognized by her daughter-in-law, aunt Huo is even more determined to dig in Huo Jianfeng.

Hearing his daughter-in-law's worry, aunt Huo snorted and said, "he dares. If he dares not to pay for the mail, I'll go to their army. Anyway, they both have units. If he annoys me, I'll go to their unit every day to see if they want to?"

"Hey, hey, my mother really has a way." Huo Changsheng laughs, and his teeth are all exposed.

"My eldest brother is now a company commander and a person who wants to make progress. My sister-in-law is also a college student and will become a national cadre after graduation. They must be afraid of affecting their future and dare not fight against you."

"Yes, just take this to jam them, one card at a time." Xifeng also said excitedly.

At this time, the window suddenly came a heavy sound of footsteps, do not have to look at the old man back.

Fearing that the old man would know what they had done to Huo Jianfeng, aunt Huo put her index finger on her lips and made a shush.

"Don't make any noise. Old calf is back. If he hears us studying these things, he must help his good nephew again." Aunt Huo whispered.

Huo Changsheng and Xifeng listen, and they quickly ban the sound at the same time.

However, Xifeng was unwilling to be stopped, and complained in a low voice: "my father is really, others all know that elbow turns in, but he has to elbow turns out, and I don't know whether to point to our son's daughter-in-law to support him or his good nephew to support him on that day when she is old."

Uncle Huo came back from the field.

Now several people in the family can't work: the old woman is too old to work in the field. The son was "abused" by his adoptive father and mother, so he was in poor health. When he did heavy work, he would sweat and faint. Of course, he could not be expected to do it.

Not to mention her daughter-in-law. Since she gave birth to a boy, she thinks she has become a hero of the Huo family. It's good that she hasn't been treated by others. How can we expect her to work in the fields to earn money?

Although the three girls in the family did not study, they all helped with the production team. But a girl is a girl after all. How many points can she earn even if she does it again? At most, they can earn money for their own food and clothing.

Therefore, the family is rowing around, pointing to him to earn money to eat alone.

Uncle Huo knows that he has a great responsibility, so he plays hard every day. As soon as the Gong starts to work every day, it appears in the field on time. Don't go home until the end of the day, tired like a dog every day, no one is distressed.

When he got home, he saw that the old lady had set the table. Huo moved to the table with his heavy legs.

As soon as she sat down, her daughter-in-law said with a straight face: "Dad, you just came back from the field, but you went to wash your hands and face, and then wipe the sweat on your body. When you smell the sweat on your body, it's smoked. How can you tell people to eat?"

Huo Hongshan heard his daughter-in-law's disgust and looked at his son again. But he saw that his son was teasing his youngest son, as if he had not heard his daughter-in-law's words.

Huo Hongshan sighed helplessly and stood up again, dragging his heavy legs out.

The third daughter Xiaoqiu saw his father stooping and walking out, so she got up from the table and ran outside, saying, "Dad, you wait first, I'll get you water."

As he spoke, he ran to fetch water.

Huo Hongshan is tired, so she sits on the threshold to have a rest. She looks at her daughter's busy figure, and suddenly thinks what's the use of having a son? It's not as sweet as my daughter.

Xiao Qiu went back and forth for a few times, and then gave Huo Hongshan a basin of water, and brought him towels and soap.

When Huo Hongshan lowered his head to wash his face, Xiao Qiu stood on his side. The girl had never left, and she just stood by him, with a look that she wanted to talk and stop.

After Huo Hongshan finished washing his face, Xiao Qiu finally said what he had said in his heart:

"Dad, my mother wrote a letter to my brother Jianfeng asking for money. Just now, she discussed with my elder brother and sister-in-law that if my brother Jianfeng didn't send money to them, they would go to the army to find my brother Jianfeng to make trouble."

Huo Hongshan's towel "Bata" fell into the basin. He opened his eyes in disbelief and said in a low voice, "what are you talking about? Is that true

Xiao Qiu pursed her lips and nodded: "it's true, Dad. Don't ask my mother and my brother. If they know that I told you, they will beat me to death." Xiao Qiu said it pitifully.

In fact, the girl's status in the family is really poor.

Because she looks like Mrs. Huo, Xiaoqiu has never been liked by her mother since she was a child. She does all the housework at home, and doesn't give her a good face all day long. She either hums or scolds her all day. The child was born in Lao Huo's family. It can be said that he has never had a good day.

In this family, grandma and brother Jianfeng treat her well. Brother Jianfeng never scolded her. When he was a child, he always took her out to play, picked wild fruits for her, and made a wreath for her. In this world, besides grandma, the best person for her is brother Jianfeng.

Because of this, she can't bear to see brother Jianfeng being calculated, and she can't bear to let the greedy elder brother and sister-in-law calculate brother Jianfeng's money.

"Dad, you don't have to ask them. If my brother Jianfeng doesn't send money back to them in a few days, they will have to find a way to go to Heihe. It's not too late for you to expose them then. If you ask them now, they will have to pay me. You don't know my mother's spleen. I'll suffer at that time..."

Xiao Qiu said pitifully.

Huo Hongshan is very angry when he hears that the old woman and her son and daughter-in-law are talking about going to Jianfeng behind his back. I was going to go back to the room immediately to talk to them, but seeing that the third daughter was so pitiful, I thought that if he wanted to pierce it, the third daughter might be beaten and scolded by them.

After thinking about it, he sighed and said, "OK, Dad won't show them the cards first. You can help dad pay attention to them. If they really want to go to your brother Jianfeng, you can tell Dad in time, and dad will try to cure them."

"Well, OK, Dad, you must help brother Jianfeng." Xiaoqiu whispered.

In her heart, brother Jianfeng is her own brother. But Huo Changsheng, who is only able to cheat and take advantage of her family, can't even see her.
