Four hundred and fortieth chapters, the banquet of the elders
"Oh, it would be bad to argue in front of you!" Liu Xiang sighed in his heart and decided to be a peacemaker.【,
"Is our little sailor back?" Liu Xiang shouted deliberately loudly, and he had already arrived at the gangway on the deck. Sure enough, when they heard the guests' voices, Qian Shuixie and Qian Duoduo both shut up.
Then Liu Xiang saw Qian Shuixie, who was unhappy and still angry, and Qian Duoduo, who had an expression of "I can't explain to you." It seemed that the uncle and nephew were still holding back their anger. They were about to speak to calm down the atmosphere -
"Hello, Teacher Liu!" A few more people followed from behind. It was Lin Ziqi and Zhang Yunmi who were part of the "Women's Sailor Team". Liu Xiang also taught classes at Fangcaodi a few years ago when he was still a homebody in Lingao.
The underage first-generation students like Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhang took the liberal arts comprehensive course he taught - yes, you read that right, a doctor of engineering took the comprehensive liberal arts, history and geography class, and 96 class hours were arranged in one semester...
Liu Xiang applied for a foreign position for a large part of the reason. After all, he wakes up earlier than a chicken every day: he has to go to early self-study; he gets off work later than a dog: he has to go to night self-study; he stays up late and is more energetic than a cat: he has to change his homework. What a life that continues forever.
Terrible thing.
Hearing Xiao Zhang Xiaolin greeting Liu Xiang, Qian Duoduo also pursed her lips and said "Hello, Uncle Liu". When Liu Xiang taught the class, Duoduo was still the king of children in the kindergarten class, so she definitely couldn't shout out Teacher Liu.
, Besides, Liu Xiang used to come to Feiyun to participate in activities, so Duoduo's impression of him was of course "the uncle who often comes to play at home".
"Okay, okay! Everything is fine, everything is fine!" Liu Xiang responded enthusiastically while welcoming everyone onto the deck.
"Oh, I haven't seen you in a few years. You have grown up!" Liu Xiang glanced back and forth at Zhang Yunmi several times, "Especially our Duoduo. He is already a wise and mighty captain!" He took a step back with an exaggerated expression.
Saluted: "Salute to you! Captain Qian Duoduo! The small step you take is a big step on behalf of the younger generation of the Senate!"
Unexpectedly, Qian Duoduo responded in a serious manner: "Salute to you! Elder Liu..."
When Qian Shuixie heard Liu Xiang's words, he curled his lips to express his dissatisfaction, but said nothing more and walked to the communication equipment on his own, preparing to report to Qian Shuiting and the others that he was safe.
The two Liu Xiangs who followed him also knew each other: Zhong Xiaoying, Dr. Zhong's "daughter", was a household name in the circle of elders. Everyone was waiting for the sanctimonious Dr. Zhong to extend his sinful hand one day... Sonia,
Liu Xiang also participated in that auction, so he naturally recognized it. Qian Shui Xie just said that after the women's sailor team goes to sea once a week, they have to have dinner together on the Feiyun. Liu Xiang also invited these two people to sit down
Down.
Zhong Xiaoying hesitated for a while before sitting down - after all, she was educated as a maid. Although she was the adopted daughter of a senator, she always felt inferior in front of the chief. As soon as Sonia heard the greeting, she immediately sat down and started sorting out the documents in her hands.
.God knows what she, a naturalist, recorded.
As soon as she sat down, Qian Duoduo, who just felt that she had been "recognized", started talking excitedly about her "voyage feat" today, starting from how she thought about going to the other side of the strait, how she held a temporary meeting of elders, and how she commanded.
Ruoding started to talk, and continued to talk about how to take a cautious route in the Juhua Island area with dense shoals and dark branches on the way back to visit the ruins of the naval battle. Of course, she was very sensible and did not mention a word about being severely criticized by Qian Shui Xie after returning to the sea.
Liu Xiang was sweating in his heart when he heard this: The extent of a naughty child's attempt to commit suicide is indeed linearly related to the resources he can control to commit suicide...
When Qian Duoduo was telling her story, Zhong Xiaoying kept explaining why there were so many patrol boats in the strait recently and the sea conditions were very good recently. She called the radar station to ask about the weather and so on; Xiao Lin kept explaining.
Ping Ke. made the atmosphere more lively; Sonia occasionally added details, such as when passing by which position on the starboard side was the emergent sand instead of the island, and what kind of sea inhabited the sandbar at the entrance to Juhua Island.
Birds and the like. Only Xiao Zhang was sitting on the sofa with a smile on her face. She was gently sipping Limushan Oolong tea without interrupting. It was as if she was here to listen to the story.
When Qian Duoduo was coming to the end of his story, Qian Xuanhuang came over and said that the master had a "temporary extended meeting" today and could not come back for dinner. Madam also had to attend the meeting today... Anyway, both Qian Shuiting and his wife were working overtime today, and Zhou Weisen's family
Everyone had been on business trips for the past few days. Zheng Shangjie was of course far away in Guangzhou. Today's reception banquet was only hosted by Qian Shuixie. In order to express his apology, Qian Shuixie had already gone to cook in person. Secondly, Liu Xiang's little girl
When she woke up, Guo Ling'er asked if she wanted to bring the child over so that the little leaders could see her.
It is not easy to sort out the relationship among Qian Xuanhuang's various titles. Because she is a maid shared by three families, she has her own title for each of the six masters. Qian Shuiting is called "Master", Qian Shuixie is called "Sir", and Zhou Weisen is called "Mr."
She was specially approved to call Brother Zhou, while the two ladies were called by their surnames: it is difficult to call them eldest master and second master, and it is more likely to cause misunderstandings between eldest lady and second lady. Later, Zheng Shangjie was away from Lingao for a long time, so she just called Aibeibei.
Madam. As for Mendoza, according to Mendoza's own insistence, he wanted to be called Miss, but firstly, several gentlemen strongly opposed it, and secondly, Qian Xuanhuang himself felt that Duoduo was the eldest lady, and finally compromised and became a direct
Mendoza's name was called. When they first came to Feiyun Club to participate in the event, everyone said with emotion that Qian Xuanhuang was already as good as the top maid of Jia's family in addressing him.
Qian Shuixie cooked the food himself. Liu Xiang felt that the bigger reason was that he didn't want to watch Qian Duoduo blowing water in the living room. He might get angry after listening to it, so it was better to go to the kitchen and vent his anger on the ingredients. As for the baby
Well, when Qian Duoduo heard that there was a baby to hold and hold, she immediately excitedly expressed that she wanted to see it immediately. Liu Xiang smiled and nodded, and asked Qian Xuanhuang to call Guo Ling'er.
The baby was not afraid of birth, and would not cry no matter who held it. Several girls, including Sonia, took turns to hold her and tease her, but Zhong Xiaoying looked envious - Zhong Xiaoying and Guo Ling'er were born at the same time -
She looked around intently. Sonia looked around at the baby with a look that said, "Let's study what's different about yellow babies." This made Liu Xiang feel particularly unhappy; Xiao Lin really liked it.
Teasing the baby made the baby, who had been smiling sweetly when facing strangers, burst into laughter. Zhang Yunmi took the baby, but the baby didn't know why he kissed her in particular. First, he patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder hard, and then
He squinted his eyes and laughed at Xiao Zhang for a long time, making Zhang Yunmi stunned. In the end, the baby clung to Zhang Yunmi and refused to come off. Qian Duoduo tried to snatch her away several times, but the baby always fell into Zhang Yunmi's arms.
Qian Duoduo's mouth was so pouty that she refused to let go. In the end, it was Liu Xiang who took action and tore the baby off Zhang Yunmi's body. He coaxed the baby for a long time before letting Duoduo hold it.
"Uncle Liu, I want to kiss her, why is she always hiding!" Duoduo seemed to be determined to find some dignity.
"Of course! My little baby has to teach her not to be kissed casually from an early age!" Liu Xiang said deliberately teasing Duoduo.
"I want to kiss, I want to kiss, I want to kiss!" Qian Duoduo suddenly had a temper tantrum, "Be good, give your sister a kiss! Just kiss her!"
"Uncle Liu! Make the baby awkward now, I want to kiss her little mouth!"
The baby thought you were playing crazy with her! How could you stop this? Liu Xiang was so pestered in the end that he had no choice but to give Qian Duoduo a trick, asking her to pout her mouth and blink at the baby. Sure enough, the baby
After looking at Duoduo for a while, he thought that this small piece of bright red flesh was for her to eat, so he bit Qian Duoduo's lips. This made Qian Duoduo very happy.
Qian Xuanhuang has become the de facto "First Secretary of Feiyun Club" over the years. He arranges the dinner plates and other things inadvertently, and rolls out a child seat from nowhere for the baby to sit on - about
It was originally equipped on the yacht. After placing the baby, everyone sat down to dine together.
Qian Shuixie came over with the last dish, which was bone-in lamb chops cooked in wine. This was a rare treat - the area currently controlled by the Senate does not produce grapes for winemaking, and 99% of the wine shipped from Europe was turned into
and grape vinegar. The main ingredient of this dish, the lamb short ribs, is something that must be ordered. Regardless of the taste, Liu Xiang's attention can be seen in the preparation of the ingredients.
"This is a rare thing. Where does this wine come from? One in a million?" Liu Xiang asked in surprise.
"It's a long story! Come on!" Qian Shuixie first poured a glass of wine for Liu Xiang and himself, Qian Duoduo took over and gave it to Xiao Zhang, Xiao Lin poured it, and then Zhong Xiaoying poured it for herself and Sonia.
I had a glass of wine. With Sonia, a foreigner who knows English, saying "or the sex natus!" she would feel uncomfortable. When Qian Shuixie picked up the glass and stood up, his mind turned in countless circles, and finally
The toast became "For our common ideals!"
Naturally, several elders and junior elders opened their mouths to this toast, and Zhong Xiaoying, as the "adopted daughter", naturally followed. Sonia was silent, and just stood up and raised her wine glass to signal. After only one sip of wine,
, Sonia's eyes lit up. "There is such a round and luscious wine! In New Spain... no, there is no such good wine in Iberia!" Sonia almost screamed.
"Of course! We have the best brewing technology in the world!" Qian Duoduo was very proud.
Liu Xiang took a sip. It was indeed a very good sweet wine, and it had a very refreshing taste even without ice. Wait, this tastes a bit ripe! (To be continued...)
