Chapter 363: A Birthday You Will Never Forget (Part ) Around midnight, Yu Xiaoliang finally connected with the hotel and returned home. At this time, Tang Xiangyue was still awake, half lying on the sofa with a blanket covering her. Of course, she was not waiting for her husband, but staying up late to watch the TV series "Golden Wedding". This family ethics TV series starring Jiang Wenli and Zhang Guoli may seem dull and even full of trivialities, but it has a plain and touching power. It became popular all over the country as soon as it was broadcast, and even Mao Xiaoqin was following it. When Tang Xiangyue heard the noise, she turned her head with drooping eyelids to take a look. Ignoring her husband's dry lips, she curled up in the blanket and continued to watch TV comfortably. Yu Xiaoliang seemed to be used to it. He first poured a glass of water and took two big gulps, then turned on the incandescent lamp with a "click". The living room, which was originally pitch black with only fluorescent lights flickering, suddenly became bright. But Tang Xiangyue was like a rat in a sewer encountering light, and immediately complained: "I'm watching TV, how can I watch it when it's shaking like this?" "Excuse me."
Yu Xiaoliang put down his handbag and said apologetically, "I thought you were sleeping in the bedroom." "Humph~" Tang Xiangyue muttered, "You can't even see this, like a blind person!" "Um...I haven't eaten yet." Yu Xiaoliang spoke in a very light tone, as if he was worried about disturbing Liu Ye: "Are there any leftovers at home?" "No more! You can make some noodles yourself." Tang Xiangyue replied indifferently. After a while, she felt a little strange: "Aren't you in the hotel to discuss things? How can you be hungry there?" "The food in the hotel is too expensive, let's just come back and have a quick bite." Yu Xiaoliang rubbed the corners of his tired eyes. If Sister COS was here, she would definitely notice that her father’s crow’s feet suddenly increased a lot in the past two years. "Oh." Tang Xiangyue responded indifferently, without any distress. She was just concerned about the banquet: "How's it going over there?" Yu Xiaoliang has a really good temper. He never gets angry even when being ignored or looked down upon. He still replied meekly, "Everything is basically ready, and we can start eating tomorrow when we get there." Tang Xiangyue was probably used to it, and had no gratitude at all. She took it for granted and arranged: "You go there first tomorrow and I will take Xiaoye to put on makeup in the morning." "Row!" Yu Xiaoliang nodded in agreement and waited until his wife yawned and walked into the bedroom, leaving him alone outside. Yu Xiaoliang quietly carried the handbag to the kitchen, and inside was a brand new Nokia N95 mobile phone box. The last time I went back to Zhusigang, I found that Yu Xian’s cell phone was damaged by water and couldn’t be turned on. Seeing his own daughter still using a domestic mobile phone even after entering university, Yu Xiaoliang made up his mind with a sad heart to buy Yu Xian an imported mobile phone which is the most popular among college students.
"I don't know if Xian Mei'er will accept it." Yu Xiaoliang had no idea about this. However, if my daughter can accept it, I might be happier than Liu Ye, the birthday boy tomorrow. Lao Yu has no feelings for Liu Ye, only a sense of responsibility. Silent all night. Yu Xiaoliang cooked a bowl of noodles alone in the kitchen. After eating, he didn't want to go to the bedroom, so he fell asleep on the sofa. The next morning, Lao Yu was awakened by a quarrel. It turned out that Liu Ye was crying because she didn't want to get up from bed and was scolded by her mother. Yu Xiaoliang neither looked at nor cared about it. Liu Ye was a lazy child and his grades were poor. At first, Lao Yu kindly offered some suggestions, but no one listened, so he stopped talking later. After all, his identity as a "stepfather" is a bit embarrassing. But no matter what, Yu Xiaoliang would still do the normal housework. After he finished washing up, he walked over and asked Tang Xiangyue and Liu Ye: "What do you want to eat in the morning?" “KFC!” Liu Ye shouted loudly. "What KFC!" Tang Xiangyue immediately scolded: "Don't you have any food at home? Doesn't it cost money to eat out? Do you know how much money you have spent on tutoring during the winter vacation? That crazy learning website can't even make the fees a little cheaper..." Nowadays, parents of primary and secondary school students in Guangzhou have become accustomed to finding tutors on learning websites. In fact, the price of tutoring under this model is already much cheaper than before. But for Tang Xiangyue, only free ones are the best. "Why blame me?" Liu Ye was also very unconvinced. She looked a bit like her mother, but her skin was darker, like an underdeveloped little mouse. "That money wasn't given by you, it was given by my stepfather!" Liu Ye retorted: "You spend all the money you earn on clothes and cosmetics. Don't think I don't know!" Tang Xiangyue became furious when she heard this. She was "furious" not because Liu Ye had exposed her secret of keeping a secret stash of cash. The reason why people have secrets is that they are worried that they will have bad consequences after being exposed. But Tang Xiangyue was very confident that even if Yu Xiaoliang knew that she had a secret fund, he would not dare to be angry, so it was not a secret. As expected, Yu Xiaoliang acted as if he hadn't heard this and continued to speak like a good guy: "If Liu Ye wants to eat, take her there. Today is her birthday and she's the most important."
"Don't talk!" Tang Xiangyue got angry at Yu Xiaoliang, then glared at Liu Ye and said, "Did you steal my new cosmetics again?" This was the real reason why Tang Xiangyue was angry. Liu Ye was so young but her mind was not on studying. She was secretly applying her cosmetics all day long. When it comes to her, she still argues confidently: "My stepfather's daughter is so beautiful, if I don't wear makeup, won't I be outshined by her?" Tang Xiangyue would get angry every time she heard this kind of reason, but because her level was too low to know how to refute it, she would end up taking her anger out on Yu Xiaoliang. Who made your daughter so much prettier than my daughter! Tang Xiangyue and Liu Ye, the ugly mother and daughter, had another argument over cosmetics. Both of them had shrill voices, which to others sounded like the sound of fingernails scratching on a glass blackboard. Yu Xiaoliang’s head was about to explode. Fortunately, the makeup studio they had made an appointment with called and asked when Liu Ye would arrive, and the two of them finally calmed down. Her daughter finally celebrated her tenth birthday, and Tang Xiangyue hoped that today would become an unforgettable memory for her. Tang Xiangyue hurriedly packed her things, but before leaving, Yu Xiaoliang suddenly called her. "Don't forget." Old Yu said sincerely: "Today I want to resolve conflicts and eliminate misunderstandings with Yu Xian. I hope everyone can be more friendly." Tang Xiangyue thought it was something important, but it turned out to be just like this? Although Tang Xiangyue also planned to "pretend to reconcile", she did not allow Yu Xiaoliang to interfere. "Today, first of all, is my daughter's birthday!" Tang Xiangyue rolled her eyes and scolded angrily: "Everything else is secondary, you should also hurry up and go to the hotel to receive the guests!" After Tang Xiangyue finished speaking, she took Liu Ye away. The house suddenly became quiet. "Whoo~" Lao Yu felt that the world suddenly became much wider, and his mood unconsciously improved as he hummed the popular song from the Spring Festival Gala. "Go home often, go home often, even if it's just to help mom wash the chopsticks and dishes..." He first steamed two buns for himself, then cooked some porridge, and ate them happily with fermented bean curd. Seeing that the time was almost up, he sent a message to his daughter first: "Xian Mei'er, are you up yet?" Yu Xian quickly replied: "Yes." Yu Xiaoliang: The hotel name and address have been sent. Leave a message when you arrive and Dad will go out to pick you up. Yu Xian: No need, I know the way. By the way, Chen Zhe will go too. "Chen Zhe is coming too?" Yu Xiaoliang was stunned. There was a smile in his eyes, but underneath the smile was the image of a "son-in-law" who could stab people with a dagger, and he was a little afraid in his heart.
However, Yu Xiaoliang had no reason to forbid Chen Zhuo from coming. Besides, with Xian Meir's temper, if Chen Zhuo was blocked outside, she would turn around and leave without saying a word. "Today is to resolve the conflict. It's all good things. Don't overthink and worry!" Lao Yu encouraged himself. This is a good opportunity for my "son-in-law" to see my problem-solving abilities and skills as a father-in-law. …… Around 9 o'clock in the morning, Yu Xiaoliang arrived at the restaurant where the birthday party was held and began to busy himself with the coordination process. The name of the restaurant is “Tianxian Pavilion”. It does not have any star rating. It is just an ordinary place that can host wedding banquets. Yu Xiaoliang and Tang Xiangyue’s property company sometimes have dinner here, so they are familiar with the lobby manager and can talk and discuss things with each other easily. At 10:, the guests attending the birthday party arrived one after another. Since most of them were colleagues and friends, and only a few were Tang Xiangyue's relatives, it was relatively easy for Lao Yu to deal with them. Occasionally, he would take out his cell phone to check if there was any message from Yu Xian. It’s a pity that Xian Mei’er didn’t wait for her, because her “brother-in-law” Tang Quan came first with his family. Although he is almost a head shorter than Yu Xiaoliang, who is 1 meters tall, Tang Quan is absolutely confident in front of this brother-in-law. After all, when a man reaches middle age, his appearance becomes the least valuable thing. He strode up to Lao Yu, his hands behind his back, and asked like a leader inspecting a workstation: "Are there many people here?" "good." Although Yu Xiaoliang could sense Tang Quan's condescending attitude, he didn't take it seriously given his temper and replied gently, "We're almost there." "Well." Tang Quan nodded and asked, "Are Xiao Ye and her mother still putting on makeup?" "should be." Lao Yu looked at the time and said, "Should I hurry up?" "Hurry up!" Tang Quan frowned and said, "The banquet is about to begin, but the main character hasn't arrived yet. How did you arrange it? Do you have any concept of time..." Yu Xiaoliang was stunned for a moment. It was Tang Xiangyue and Liu Ye who had no concept of time. How did it become his problem? However, due to his weak character, he had no habit of resisting even when he was wronged. Instead, he forced a smile and said, "Then I'll urge you now." "Hurry up and fight." Tang Quan gave the order casually, not thinking that there was anything wrong with the scolding, nor did he have any intention of helping. It seems that his noble status does not make him suitable for doing these chores.
Or maybe he felt deep down that these tasks should be Yu Xiaoliang's responsibility. After saying that, Tang Quan took his wife and son directly into the banquet hall. His wife was short and fat. She was carrying a small donkey-brand purse. She was afraid that others wouldn't see the logo, so she kept adjusting her posture in a subtle way. Just to have the big "LV" logo facing outwards. Tang Quan chatted with Yu Xiaoliang for a long time, but his wife didn't even say hello. This reflects a very realistic truth: if even the wife looks down on her husband, then no one in her family will look up to him. What's worse, some people regard him as a joke in their hearts. On the contrary, Tang Quan's son Tang Zhiyuan has a non-mainstream hairstyle that is very popular in that era: "fro, drooping bangs, and covering the left eye". Of course, the classic drop-crotch pants and white leather belt are also indispensable, and the whole body will jingle when you walk. If I hadn't seen anyone, I would have thought it was a pet with a bell that had run away. He came in front of Yu Xiaoliang, looked up and called out, "Uncle-in-law." "Hello, Zhiyuan." Yu Xiaoliang responded politely. In terms of seniority, Tang Zhiyuan should indeed call Yu Xiaoliang uncle. However, Lao Yu was a real handsome guy when he was young. A white shirt and jeans could instantly kill all the fancy looks, so he was a little disapproving of Tang Zhiyuan's outfit. "that……" Tang Zhiyuan was not really polite. He lifted the bangs above his left eye and asked shyly, "Is Yu Xian coming over today?" Old Yu's expression suddenly became serious. For him, it doesn't matter what happens to him, but it can't go beyond himself and affect Xian Meir. I haven't taken good care of her, and now I let this loser harass her? "She will come..." Lao Yu's expression turned cold. For someone with a personality like him, "cold and unenthusiastic" actually represented extreme disgust. When Tang Zhiyuan heard that Yu Xian was coming, he was happy at first. When Yu Xiaoliang and Tang Xiangyue had just gotten married, Tang Zhiyuan met Yu Xian by chance. At that time, I was shocked by that charming and pretty oval face. How could there be such a beautiful girl in real life! I wanted to approach her and strike up a conversation with her, but I was intimidated by the quick and aggressive tone of her words, so I could only watch her from a distance. Later, the relationship between the two sides deteriorated and Yu Xian no longer attended any activities here. Because of this, Tang Zhiyuan often complained to his aunt in private. You have tricked his father into coming here to be his fool, so can't you just get along well with him? Tang Quan made some money in the past two years, which not only made him a little lost, but also made his son Tang Zhiyuan become arrogant.
I was not satisfied with any of the girlfriends I had, and always felt that they were much worse than Yu Xian. So when you are young, you must not meet someone who is too perfect, otherwise everyone you meet in the future will be a little bit lacking in that. However, Yu Xiaoliang's next words made Tang Zhiyuan feel depressed. "But she came with her boyfriend." Old Yu said lightly. "Yu Xian has a boyfriend? Who is it?" Tang Zhiyuan asked without thinking. The first thought in his mind was, "Is her boyfriend's family richer than my dad?" Such a person who has never seen the world has such superficial reactions. Tang Quan felt that his son's question was a bit stupid. His thoughts were too straightforward. He didn't even know how to hide it. He didn't have the reserve of a "son of a wealthy family" at all. Tang Quan pushed his son forward a few steps, frowned and scolded him: "Who is her boyfriend? What does it have to do with you?" "I……" Tang Zhiyuan was still a little afraid of his father, so he lowered his head and hid in crowded places. But his mother couldn't stand it anymore and said dissatisfiedly: "Can't you ask? It's a blessing for a girl to let Tang Zhiyuan ask about her!" I have to say, this family is really a weird combination. And there is my younger aunt Tang Xiangyue. The reason they are able to live peacefully until now may be that their ancestors must have had their foreheads swollen in the underworld, so the retribution has not yet come. Just as Tang Quan and Tang Zhiyuan were about to step into the banquet hall, they suddenly heard Lao Yu behind them shouting, "Xian Mei'er, over here!" "Shh!" Tang Zhiyuan was the first to turn around. Tang Quan guessed that it might be Yu Xian who came. He felt that it was no big deal, but he still couldn't help but turn around to look. Two figures were walking towards us from afar. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, their figures were handsome and tall. They walked in the same pace, as if there was a light rhythm. Facing the wind, passing by the flowers on the roadside, with their skirts fluttering and their sleeves flying, they look like a pair of immortal lovers. ······ (It still exists today.)
