Chapter 76: Banquet (2/2)

Grandma Chen couldn't listen anymore. She slapped her son and laughed angrily. ”How old are you? Asking a child to peel a pomegranate for you, are you not ashamed!”

Chen Wenqian said generously: ”What's the matter with this, aren’t I also a child in front of you?”

The whole family was amused. Grandma Chen didn't let him touch her grandchild’s pomegranates. There was only a small box of pomegranates on her side, and she gave two pomegranates to each child in the family, and they were now gone.

.

Chen Wenqian didn't eat pomegranates. He just teased Tang Jinyu to play with him. After a conversation, he asked, ”Mom, the chef over there said that the preparations are almost done, when do you think he’ll be there?”

Grandma Chen asked: ”Where is your father?”

”Hey, isn't the whole family waiting to listen to your instructions.”

Grandma Chen thought for a while, and said, ”Then let's start the banquet early today. Your sister and brother-in-law are also tired coming all this way. After eating, let them rest for a while. There will still be tables in the evening.”

Chen Suling was surprised: ”Mom, there is still more tonight?”

Chen Wenqian said: ”Well, don't you know that we are going to show off for three days?”

Chen Suling really didn’t know what to say, but as soon as the old lady took her hand and held Tang Jinyu with the other hand, she was very proud and said, “Go, let’s go out. This is Xiaoyu first time winning a prize, he has the first table.”

Chen Suling opened her mouth and couldn't say anything, so she laughed and followed.

Tang Hongjun always listened to his wife, what Chen Suling did, he followed with his bag, smiling and having a very good temper.

There were a total of 12 single-family villas in the community, and the Chen family accounts for one-third of it. In their own home, let alone three days, ten days and a half months, they don’t talk much. The Chen family assembled dozens of tables after tidying up the three idled courtyards. Today was only the first day, with fewer people arriving at noon and only sitting in one courtyard, all of which came to celebrate when they heard the news nearby.

They knew very well in their hearts that they said it was for the little grandson of the Chen family to celebrate winning a prize in the piano competition. In fact, they were clearly told by everyone that the child of the third girl of the Chen family were not stupid, not only were they not stupid, but also had a musical talent.

Some people have a good relationship with Grandma Chen and we’re happy for her. Others murmured in their hearts and wanted to come and join in the fun. Another small group of people didn’t believe it. They felt that the old lady of the Chen family loved her daughter, spending a lot of money to support behind the scenes and deceive themselves!

In any case, the people who arrived would sit there orderly and wait for Grandma Chen to come over.

Even Grandpa Chen, who had rushed back from the engineering company in advance, was sitting there waiting. He didn't urge his wife to come, and he smiled and talked with relatives and friends beside him.

The person at the side table whispered: ”Why is that old man here, when the old lady hasn't come yet?”

The people around him whispered: ”It’s normal, you haven’t been here long enough. You have never seen Mr. Chen treats his wife with special respect, it’s always been like this.”

Old Chen was really like this. He didn't urge the banquet or his wife. He himself was waiting, and the rest of the people sat and waited together.

In just a few minutes, Grandma Chen came. She came over and was stunned, and immediately smiled: ”Look at me, thinking that I will be the first to arrive today. I’ll bring Xiaoyu over to meet everyone, sorry for everyone that had been waiting for a long time.” She told Chen Suling that she would take Tang Jinyu to the table first, and each table had a certain number of people. After sitting down, the service staff also served the dishes one after another, and their timing was just right, and there was no cold food.

Tang Jinyu was today’s protagonist. Grandma Chen asked him to sit next to him. The child ate normally. He had a small appetite. After he finished eating, Mr. Chen smiled and asked him: ”Xiaoyu, you take a nap at noon. Grandpa Hui will take you out to play.”

Tang Jinyu turned to look at his mother.

Old Chen deliberately scorned his face and said: ”It depends on what your mother is doing, grandpa here has the final say.”

Tang Jinyu blinked and went to look at grandma instead.

Grandma Chen couldn’t help but smile, then she nodded her head to save face for her husband, ”Yes, your grandfather has the final say on big things, but grandma has the final say on small trivia matters. Xiaoyu's affairs are definitely a big deal, listen to your grandfather's words, and go.”

Chen Suling said: ”Dad, you drank at noon, so you can't drive.”

Grandpa Chen waved his hand and said, ”Don't drive, don't worry, it's just around here, you can get there in two steps.”

Tang Jinyu was a little curious about his grandpa. He returned after eating at noon and only barely slept for half an hour. As soon as Chen Suling called him, the child got up on her lap, rubbed her eyes and changed clothes, and said, ”Mom, are you going too?”

Chen Suling squeezed his face and smiled: ”Mom has no time to play. I'm going to work soon.”

Tang Hongjun had just walked in when he heard this sentence, and asked her: ”Where? I'll come.”

Chen Suling found a pair of small shoes, and watched her child put it on by himself, and whispered to her husband: ”You can't go. There’s still dinner tonight.”

”Didn't Mom look for a hotel before? I think it will be very good at noon today. ”

Chen Suling glanced at him and laughed: ”What happens if you need to communicate? At noon, several people could take it the wrong way. If it wasn't for mom's saying that she would bring Xiaoyu over in advance, we would have to wait for half an hour. You accompany Xiaoyu to play, I will leave with my helper.”

What else could Tang Hongjun say? Chen Suling handed their children to him and pushed them out: ”Go, wait for my eldest sister to come in the afternoon, and I will look for you at that time.”

Tang Hongjun was relieved and took his son out.
