Chapter 378 Start Explosion
Family dinner is more interesting for Yang Bingbing. Her family dinner has become a banquet... There are not many real family members when they eat together. Generally, Yang Bingbing eats with her grandmother. This is one of the reasons why Yang Bingbing liked to eat with Su Yifan and others later. It was really difficult for her to find that happy and lively feeling.
A family sat together, and more than a dozen people gathered in a circle. Although they all had different ideas in their hearts, at least the superficial joy was much better than the atmosphere of the Yang family, which was particularly estranged at first glance.
Su Yifan's grandparents sat in the first place, then sorted according to the age of the children, and finally the younger generation sat outside. At first glance, it is the kind of family with strict rules.
Yang Bingbing has noticed that there are many books in Su Yifan's grandmother's house, including Chinese studies and some social science books. From this perspective alone, this family should be a family with a little intellectual elements, but the composition is actually very similar to that of a traditional family, with several sisters around a younger brother.
This is a little thought-provoking.
As a guest, Yang Bingbing's etiquette is naturally no problem. Her generousness makes Su Yifan's aunt and uncle unable to say even a little. Such a beautiful girl even gives people a sense of good manners in her words and deeds. Who can see that this is a 17- or 18-year-old girl?
In contrast, although Zhou Lingyi is also clever, he seems more like he only knows some cleverness, which is not comparable to Yang Bingbing in general.
When eating, these elders mostly talk about the economic situation, their recent development, work and life. Yang Bingbing also saw the shadow of her family banquets from these chats, but she felt that the way of eating at such a table was more intimate. Among the daughters and sons of the Gu family, Gu Ying and Su Shen seem to be relatively low-key and don't have much to say.
After so many days of understanding, Yang Bingbing is also very familiar with the style of Su Shen and Gu Ying. Gu Ying likes publicity more or less, which is also a characteristic of women her age. Su Shen is relatively introverted. He doesn't like to say some words, but looks at problems and solve them in a silent way. Su Yifan's personality is inherited from his father, but Gu Ying has a smaller influence on Su Yifan.
It can be seen that the two elders of the Gu family really don't like Su Shen very much. This is probably due to historical reasons, and it is also because Su Shen did not show too strong economic strength at ordinary times, which made the two elders feel ashamed.
At this time, Su Shen didn't talk much, and Su Yifan didn't talk much. Most of the topics were picked up by Gu Ying and said a few words with his sister and brother.
Elders inevitably ask Yang Bingbing about some topics such as family situation, which is also one of the must-have songs for family gatherings. Yang Bingbing answered politely, and the answer was mostly satisfactory. He didn't say who his parents were, and he didn't mention some of his relatives in China.
Although this is the case, after his parents did business in the United States, Gu Ning still looked at Yang Bingbing with a little interest and asked, "What do your parents do in the United States?"
Su Yifan frowned slightly. He didn't like the way his uncle talked to others. Gu Ning, like his son Gu Qian, spoke impolite.
Yang Bingbing answered truthfully: "A little small department store retail business."
Su Yifan is too lazy to complain about Yang Bingbing. There are few retail businesses in the world that are the size of the Yang family. Is this a little bit?
Gu Ning nodded a little and said, "Oh, sell groceries in the United States, right? That's not easy."
Although Gu Ning's words sound really unpleasant, he was willing to interpret them by himself so that Yang Bingbing would not explain further, and Su Yifan did not take it seriously.
Zhou Lingyi sat next to Yang Bingbing and slanted at Yang Bingbing when she heard the words, and there was not much kindness in her eyes.
Since Yang Bingbing entered her grandmother's house, everyone's eyes have never left this beautiful tall girl. Zhou Lingyi feels that her position at home has been challenged.
Hua Feng said beside him, "As long as you can stand in the United States, you can live a good life, which is still different from China."
Everyone can hear that Hua Feng is helping Yang Bingbing win face. Of course, if anyone in this family wants to refute the words of his uncle Gu Ning, he must be prepared to be beaten by his elders. Before Hua Feng finished speaking, his grandmother, who had not spoken much, suddenly knocked on her chopsticks.
"The elders talk, children don't talk to them."
Hua Feng deliberately spit out his tongue, blinked at Yang Bingbing to ask for credit, and then quickly changed the topic: "Little uncle, we may contact a big real estate developer in Linhai recently. Do you think I should contact someone to express your feelings?"
Hua Feng has been doing business for some time. Of course, there is no need to consult Gu Ning about this kind of problem. This is to give Gu Ning face and give his uncle an opportunity to educate himself. Sure enough, after asking this question, the second old man did not continue to say anything, and Gu Ning also began to point to Hua Feng with a little complaedity on his face.
Yang Bingbing looked at the family relationship and smiled, but turned her head and smiled at Su Yifan.
Gu Qian next to him was eating a sea shrimp at this time. He curled his lips and looked at Su Yifan, feeling a little unconvinced.
"Mom, my pre-fake exam results came out, and only the Chinese test paper was deducted 0.5 points."
Su Yifan looked at Gu Qian unexpectedly and knew that this cousin liked to show off his achievements when there were many people.
This is actually very easy to understand. Gu Qian, a middle school student, has nothing to show off except his grades.
Su Yifan's aunt Mei Chunhua narrowed her eyes and smiled, and the proud expression on her face could not be stopped: "Yes, keep working hard."
Gu Qian proudly raised his chin again and went to pick up the prawns.
Gu Ying looked at his nephew a little unhappily and muttered in his heart why this boy was so brag? In fact, I also understand that Gu Qian must have been instructed by his parents to say such words at the family banquet. In fact, it is meaningless to say in public that his grades are good except to attract hatred. But now the psychological state of the elders happens to be just like this. They always feel that as long as some aspect oppresses people's head, they will feel happy.
Mei Chunhua taught Gu Qian with a smile: "Don't always eat one dish. It's a little polite!"
Grandma over there laughed: "They are all my own family. It's okay."
Mei Chunhua sighed at everyone: "Well, this child has no place to worry except study. It's okay to go to middle school now. If I go to college and go to other places in the future, I'm worried.
Speaking of going to college, my aunt's tone was stunned: "Hey, Su Yifan is in the third year of high school, right? Didn't you think about which university to go to? Have you finished the school exam now? The results should be okay, right?"
Everyone knows that Su Yifan's previous achievements were mediocre, which is also one of the reasons why Gu Ying sometimes can't raise his head in front of his family. I didn't expect Mei Chunhua to talk about this topic at this family dinner, which is indeed a little unkind.
Mei Chunhua's attitude towards Gu Ying was not so bad, but Gu Ning has been helped by some sisters in recent years, but she did not borrow Gu Ying's strength, which made her feel that this sister is actually useless. And this gave Mei Chunhua a bad impression of Gu Ying on his husband and wife, which was especially aimed at Gu Ying.
Gu Ying was a little unhappy after listening to Mei Chunhua's words. Of course, it was not easy to show too obvious on his face. He could only say lightly, "I haven't thought about it yet. I want to see the results in the second half of the year before making a decision."
"Where can I report the results according to the current point? Pro- overseas language school?"
The Overseas Mandarin College is not a good school in the province. Mei Chunhua deliberately said the name of the school just to disgust Gu Ying.
Gu Ying didn't stand still this time, and his face looked cold and said, "The third year of high school has just started, and it's too early to worry about it."
The atmosphere on the table suddenly dropped, and several people who were talking stopped talking and looked at Gu Ying and Mei Chunhua.
Mei Chunhua said gently and skillfully, "Preparing for a rainy day. It may be too late to choose again."
Mei Chunhua's face made the whole family a little sick. He said that your son's academic performance is better. Is it really worth showing off again and again? However, Gu Ning is the most favored son in the family, and Gu Qian is naturally the most beloved young man in the hearts of the old people. Mei Chunhua used his academic performance here to disgust Gu Ying, especially Su Yifan's previous grades have always been mediocre. No one is really willing to support Gu Ying.
Gu Ying rarely quarrels with Su Shen at home, but this is like a fuel-efficient lamp at all. He said, "The child's academic performance is also ups and downs. Now no one can say what will happen a year later, don't you think? Recently, our Xiaofan's score is still reassuring. He has been promoted to the top of the class. According to this score, there is no problem in the last book. But who knows if he can keep it in good condition. I want to say that you also care more about your Gu Qian. If you have good grades in junior high school, it is not easy to catch up if you fall behind in high school.
Gu Ying's words were already insinuating that Gu Qian should not hurt Zhong Yong. Mei Chunhua's face was not very good-looking. Since Gu Ying said that her son's grades have been raised to the top of the class, she can't say that she doesn't believe such nonsense.
Su Yifan, who had stopped his chopsticks, was worried about his mother's loss. As soon as he saw Gu Ying's combat effectiveness, he was immediately relieved and bowed his head to eat.
Yang Bingbing also bowed her head to eat, probably holding back her smile. Su Yifan patted Yang Bingbing under the table.
This time I patted Yang Bingbing's thigh, and it felt good. Yang Bingbing stopped laughing, turned her head to look at Su Yifan, then stretched out a hand to grab Su Yifan's hand patting her leg and shook it hard.
Such a scene of cheering for each other happened between the two, and Su Yifan certainly understood what Yang Bingbing meant.
As the two said before, the real pride remains in her bones, and Yang Bingbing hopes to have peace of mind.
Gu Ying and Mei Chunhua stabbed each other a few words, and knew that this did not help the atmosphere of the family banquet, so they stopped talking. Instead, Gu Ying talked about some recent rumors in Binhai City, such as the relocation of the municipal government, which made the atmosphere warm again.
Su Yifan glanced at Gu Qian, who seemed calm, and found that the boy's fingers holding chopsticks were very hard. It seemed that he was also angry.
I was not in the mood to care what Gu Qian was thinking. Su Yifan's mobile phone shook in his pocket. He took out the phone and looked down, got up and walked to the guest room to answer the phone.
Many people saw the mobile phone taken out by Su Yifan. The elders still didn't feel anything, and the eyes of the younger generation changed.
Damn, Apple's 3GS phone hasn't been sold in China yet?
When did Gu Ying get so rich and buy such an expensive phone for Su Yifan?
Walking to the guest room, Su Yifan fed the phone: "At a relative's house?"
"It's inevitable." Cheng Shuixin on the other side of the phone smiled and said, "You too, right? Where is Yang Bingbing with you?
Su Yifan paused for a moment and answered truthfully, "Yes..."
"Oh, she has nowhere to go during the holiday. We are quite happy to think so." Cheng Shuixin didn't say anything superfluous. She smiled and helped Su Yifan resolve the embarrassing atmosphere and said, "Do you know that flash video was on the home page of several portals today?"
Su Yifan was also stunned this time. He was not surprised to hear that the video was on the homepage of several podcast websites, but now he is actually on the portal, which is a little surprising.
"So fast?"
"It shouldn't have been so fast." Cheng Shuixin's voice was also quite mixed. It is estimated that she took time to make a phone call at lunchtime at her relative's house. "The flash activity is above our gently touched name, and it's too easy to get on the forefront."
Su Yifan thought for a moment and said, "Is this also a good thing? Don't you just want a lot of people to know?
Cheng Shuixin smiled and said, "I didn't say it was a bad thing... I guess I will receive a lot of invitation emails to organize this kind of event with me and Yang Bingbing tonight."
"Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, but I think you can let others take over and become an activity similar to the relay between cities." Cheng Shuixin said, "I want to study with Yang Bingbing later."
"Ok, I'll ask her to call you back after dinner." Su Yifan said, "You should also be happy. You don't have to think about so much work during the holiday."
Cheng Shuixinhe: "I don't think it's interesting to go to relatives' house for dinner..."
Su Yifan actually feels the same way.
"You'd better prepare more for going to the United States." Su Yifan is actually very worried, "I'll ask Sister Qing how to ensure your safety in the United States. You must be careful if you go there."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Cheng Shuixin's mentality has become better and better than before since she experienced David's incident. "If something really happens, it's the same in China."
"Okay... I'll contact you in the afternoon."
"Oi, see you in the afternoon."
He put away the phone and returned to the dining table. Su Yifan complained to his elders, but found that from Hua Feng to Gu Qian, these people like him were looking at him with a strange look.
