Grocery Store No.514 - Chapter 166
30 On May 28, 2021, outside the hotel owned by Yanshi, several cars came slowly, a black commercial vehicle with a stable atmosphere, and people who knew the goods could recognize at a glance that these cars Although the appearance is nothing special, each one is worth millions.
The car parked in the hotel parking lot, Hua Qing was the first to get off, followed by Hua Mian, and finally Ling Huaan and Huating.
The people in the other cars also got out of the car one after another and walked towards the Hua Ting.
“Lao Huatou, I haven’t seen you for a few years, why haven’t I seen you old?” An old lady of the same grade as Hua Ting walked over first, looked at Hua Ting with a smile, and Ling Ling beside him Hua An.
“No, this old Huatou learned what kind of face-preserving technique. He is obviously in the same grade, but he looks much younger.” This time, an old man with white hair came over. , looking refreshed.
Hua Ting waited on the spot and said funny: “You two old people, who are you playing together, who are you entertaining?”
“The two of them have been like this for so many years, you haven’t gotten used to it yet?” Finally, an old man appeared with wrinkles all over his face, and his hair was really black and shiny, and it looked like it was dyed color.
Hua Ting looked at the two people who came over and said, “You two are walking back and forth now, do you want to go into the coffin and do things again?”
One of the two people in Huating’s mouth is Ma Huaisheng, the head of the Ma family, and the other is Mao Xiaoqing, the head of the Mao family. Because the four aristocratic families have the same spirit, they often walk between them. Over time, Ma Huaisheng and Mao Xiaoqing Feelings developed, but both of them were the candidates for the head of the family, so they couldn’t be together. Later, when they each got married and had children, those thoughts stopped. Coincidentally, their partners passed away one after another. After 20 years, they were single again, and their children had grown up. The older generation of them are aware of these things, and the children of the two families also support it, and maintaining the current state is mainly due to the hurdle in their own hearts in the past. (The Mao family is headed by women, and the partners of the head of the family are all married.)
Mao Xiaoqing has a strong personality and has been raised as a boy since she was a child. Naturally, she is not like an ordinary girl. She glanced at Ma Huaisheng and said, “You better take care of yourself first, a famously stubborn old man, The third child has been wandering outside for so many years, it’s time to come back.”
Hua Ting’s expression froze, and he said with a wry smile: “I said old man Ma, a woman like her who specializes in piercing people’s scars, how can you see it, and are you not afraid of being angry? “
“This is called Wang Ba watching mung beans…” Chen Ligang, who was watching the play, interjected.
Ma Huaisheng said hilariously: “You two old fellows, do you still have to show your face in front of your descendants?
“This old stubborn man has recognized the beauty in his own grandson’s heart, and he is much stronger than the face of the coffin before.” Mao Xiaoqing refused to give in at all, and had no self-consciousness that she was a woman.
Hua Ting looked back at Ling Huaan and said with a smile, “Okay, let’s all go in, sit down and introduce yourself at the place.”
The front four old people, behind them are people of the same generation as Hua Mian, and finally the younger generation of Ling Huaan. Hua Qing supported Ling Huaan and walked among the crowd, receiving a lot of curious eyes. Ling Huaan’s expression was calm, and he let them look at him, playing the role of a blind man.
“Welcome, everyone, please come in.” With Yanyu’s instructions, Zhang Mian personally waited at the door, waiting for everyone to come.
Zhang Mian led the crowd forward, walked into the elevator to the top floor, stopped in front of the banquet hall door, pushed open the door, and said with a smile, “All distinguished guests, please come in.”
Hua Ting took the lead, followed by everyone, only Ling Huaan and Hua Qing stopped. Ling Huaan looked at Zhang Mian and said with a smile, “You have to pay more for this banquet.”
Zhang Mian said hurriedly: “Mr. Hua, don’t worry, Mr. Yan has instructed, no matter what, you must do well.”
“I don’t worry about you doing business, then we’ll go first.”
Ling Huaan followed Huaqing into the banquet hall and looked out of the corner of his eye. This is a small banquet hall, about 200 square meters. There is a platform in the middle of the banquet hall, and there is a microphone on the platform. , which is used by the host of the banquet to speak. There are five large round tables under the platform, and each table can seat at least ten people. The innermost table is occupied by the four elders of Hua Ting.
Hua Qing and Ling Huaan walked straight to the Hua Ting, and when they got closer, Hua Qing was the first to shout, “Grandpa, Grandpa Ma, Grandma Mao, Grandpa Chen.”
The four responded, Mao Xiaoqing said with a smile: “I haven’t seen you for a few years, Ah Qing has grown up, I still remember when he was a child he climbed a tree to dig out a bird’s nest, and he fell on a big horse and fell. A front tooth. If we hadn’t stopped him, the old stubborn would have smashed his ass.”
Hua Qing said: “Grandma Mao, don’t mention the embarrassing things when you were young.”
“Don’t mention it? Is your kid in love?”
“That’s not true, but there will always be in the future. If people who like it know about it, it will damage the image.”
“Ah Qing, you can’t do this, you must be thick-skinned when you are in love, otherwise you won’t be able to catch up with girls.”
Chen Ligang looked at Ma Huaisheng and said jokingly, “Old Ma, did you hear me, they are using Ah Qing to remind you, you have to be thick-skinned, otherwise you can only be a loner. “
Ma Huaisheng has a thin skin since he was young, which is why Chen Ligang loves to tease him. He coughed twice, and uncomfortably raised his teacup and drank a glass of water.
Mao Xiaoqing was not at a loss, and said: “Old Chentou, your old face is thicker than the city wall, there should be many old ladies who like you, please come out one day, we will help you Look at each other.”
“Look at it, just protect it like this, don’t even say it. Lao Huatou, don’t watch them on both sides, we can only deal with them together.”
Hua Ting looked at the three of them amusingly. The older they got, the more like a child he really became. He said, “You three are not ashamed, don’t spoil the children.”
Ma Huaisheng put down the cup, looked at Ling Huaan, and changed the subject: “Lao Huatou, should you introduce us to us?”
Hua Ting looked at Ling Huaan and said with a smile: “He is Ah Yan’s son, his name is Hua An, and he is my grandson. I brought him here to meet you. Hua An, the one on my left is Chen. The old Chen head of the family, the one on my right is the old horse head of the Ma family, and the one next to the old horse head is the old lady Mao.”
Ling Huaan’s eyes dropped, and he politely smiled and said, “Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Ma, Grandma Mao.”
Mao Xiaoqing noticed something was wrong with Ling Huaan and said, “Good boy, your eyes…”
Ling Huaan explained with a smile: “I’m a Duling from Huacheng, this is the price.”
Everyone knew in their hearts that if Ling Huaan had been living in the Hua family and had a worry-free life, he would definitely not be a ghost-crosser. Although it sounds nice, in the eyes of others, he is an unsound person. The three of them are all human beings, and they know what to say and what not to say, so they don’t bother with this issue anymore.
Mao Xiaoqing turned to look at the table beside, the young **** the table stood up quickly, holding a gift bag in her hand, walked to Mao Xiaoqing’s side with a smile, and said: ” Good morning, Grandpa Hua, Grandpa Chen, and Grandpa Ma.”
The three responded one after another and looked at the gift bag that Mao Xiaoqing took.
Mao Xiaoqing took out a black square box from the bag, about 5 cm square, after opening it, there was a piece of jade, emerald green color, high transparency, carved with orchid pattern on it, with red The silk threads are woven into beautiful knots, which are very beautiful under the light.
Mao Xiaoqing put the jade pendant in Ling Huaan’s palm and said gently, “This is a gift for you, I hope your life will be safe and sound in the future.”
“Thank you, Grandma Mao.” Ling Huaan did not delay, and generously accepted Mao Xiaoqing’s greeting.
Seeing this, Ma Huaisheng also took out a wooden box, opened the box and took out a peach wood sword, and said with a smile: “I was still playing drums in my heart before, thinking about whether to give this, today I heard you are Duling people, this is a gift to the right person. This is a hundred-year-old peach wood sword. The peach wood sword I carved by myself is a good weapon for you.”
Ling Huaan took the peach wood sword and said with a smile, “I like this gift from Grandpa Ma. I’m short of a handy weapon. Thank you Grandpa Ma.”
“They all delivered, and of course I am no exception.”
Chen Ligang waved his hand, and a burly young man in the crowd came over, holding a gift box in his hand, 50 cm long and 20 cm wide, which was a little heavier than the previous two. . Seeing that everyone’s eyes were hit, Chen Ligang showed a smug smile on his face. He didn’t buy anything, and opened the box directly. Inside was a golden statue of Guanyin, about 50 cm high, with kind eyebrows and lifelike eyes. , holding a willow branch in his left hand, and sitting cross-legged on a lotus throne.
“This Buddha statue has received incense in a Buddhist temple and is enshrined at home to drive away evil spirits and prevent disasters.”
Mao Xiaoqing said in surprise: “Have you received incense in a Buddhist temple? How did you invite it?”
“It’s a long story. We have a Guangyuan Temple in Ancheng. The temple is not big, but it has a long history. Originally, the government wanted to develop it into a tourist attraction, but the host of the temple didn’t know what to do. Ken, I just say that tourists come to the temple because they are basically driven by curiosity, and they are not pious even if they bow down. Instead of disturbing the quietness of the Buddhist school, it is better to close the temple and travel around the world. The presiding officer dismisses the disciples in the temple, takes the Buddha statue with him, and closes the temple door. I traveled. Later, the host was seriously ill and handed the Buddha statue to the believers for worship, and then it was transferred to me.”
Mao Xiaoqing sighed and said with emotion: “This host is stubborn enough, but his devotion to faith is really admirable.”
“Own this Buddha statue, in order not to blaspheme, I have three sticks of incense every day, and I change the tribute every day. You also know that I am used to being lazy, which is a bit reluctant for me, so I thought about it. Find someone who is sincere.”
Although Hua Ting is a member of Xuanmen, he is very interested in the deeds of Buddhism, and he usually reads Buddhist scriptures. In fact, he wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and the things were for Hua Ting.
“Thank you, Grandpa Chen.” Ling Huaan took the Buddha statue solemnly, carefully closed the box, and put it aside.
“Okay, the greetings are all accepted, you don’t have to stand here anymore. Ah Qing, take Hua An to meet those juniors, and take care of them in the future.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Hua Qing led Ling Huaan to the table where Hua Mian was, and the juniors hurriedly surrounded them. Very clear.
