The two of them walked away before Wu Zhuo and Lu Yan reacted. Wu Zhuo murmured in disbelief, "Why are they here?"

This is too coincidental, right?

Then the scene in the department store before was regarded as a joke by the two of them? I thought I would never meet him again, and that would not be too embarrassing. Who would have thought that the world is so small?
Lu Yan thought just as he did, and growled in anger, "Ask me, who am I asking? Anyway, he's not a relative of my family, he must be from your family. Don't you recognize the posts made by your family? "

Wu Zhuo quickly opened the post. When he saw the name on it, his expression changed instantly, "So it's them? I should have thought of it a long time ago, why did I forget it?"

Lu Yan asked impatiently, "Who is it?"

Wu Zhuo said in a complicated tone, "My stepmother's sister is dating her."

Lu Yan didn't react for a moment and looked at him blankly.

Wu Zhuo explained in a low voice, "My stepmother has a sister who was sold by her family when she was a child. She thought she would never see her again. Who knows, but later she was assigned to the workers' hospital of the aluminum factory and worked... She is very good and has a great reputation. Everyone in the factory knows her. It is said that the leaders in the factory value her very highly. In short, she is a very honorable person. She is Song Hongguo, my stepmother's sister. …”

Lu Yan's face suddenly turned ugly. Although she had never heard of Song Hongguo's name, she felt very uncomfortable when she heard Wu Zhuo praise her so much. "Since she is your stepmother's biological sister, what's her surname?" Song?"

Wu Zhuo said, "Of course she takes after her adoptive father's surname. The two children just now are the sons she adopted for her adoptive father. Both her adoptive parents passed away and she had no children to inherit the family name. So Song Hongguo adopted those two little boys. That's all. , everyone in the factory knows it, and it is said that she still loves her children sincerely..."

Looking at the clothes and expressions of the two children just now, we knew that Song Hongguo did not treat them badly, and her own son only took care of them.

Lu Yan curled her lips in disdain. She didn't believe that she really loved her. She was not her biological child, just for show. "Then what about her partner? Who is it?"

Wu Zhuo endured the sourness and said, "That is Huo Minglou."

Lu Yan's eyes widened. She should have guessed it a long time ago. She didn't know Song Hongguo, but she had heard of Huo Minglou. The name was really too loud, but the city government had not moved here before, so it was far away from each other. , it was just a chance meeting. Who knew that the first meeting would be under such circumstances?
The shame in her heart doubled, and she couldn't help but get angry at Wu Zhuo, "It's all your fault for causing me to be embarrassed. Now it's better. We've both been thrown into the aluminum factory."

Wu Zhuo was also very depressed. He had walked ninety-nine steps, and he had to finish the last step while kneeling. So, no matter how irritated he felt, he could only lick his face and coax her in a small way, so that tonight's banquet would be good. Push through smoothly.

In fact, he was overly worried. Lu Yan was willful and indulgent, but Lu fs was a strict and face-saving person. He could do whatever he wanted in private, but in public, how could he tolerate his daughter's wanton behavior and humiliation of him?
Lu Yan has been accustomed to pretending to be good in front of him these years, and her brothers and mother are helping to cover it up, so she is fine. Therefore, even if Wu Zhuo doesn't coax her, Lu Yan herself doesn't dare to expose herself.

Sure enough, after the two returned to the hall, without Wu Zhuo's coaxing, Lu Yan quickly adjusted her expression, with a decent and generous smile on her face. No one could have imagined that a second ago, she was still angry at Wu Zhuo.

Song Hongguo watched this scene from a distance and found it funny. She turned to Huo Minglou and whispered, "It seems that she is not too stupid."

Huo Minglou replied, "You are too stupid to control the Wu family."

"That's true..." It's really no brainer. Just based on the identity of Lu fs's daughter, Wu Zhuo may be able to work for her, but he won't let an old fox like Wu Derong be shaken. Li Qingxiu could tell that he still had a discerning eye, so how could he agree to his son marrying a stupid person? She, on the other hand, jumped to conclusions too easily.

Huo Minglou put the peeled pine nuts into her hand and said softly, "Ignore them, they are just insignificant people."

Song Hongguo responded with a smile and ate the pine nuts happily.

Tonight's banquet is indeed of a high standard. The state-owned hotel in the county has been renovated and improved a lot. The environment is naturally good. There are many flowers placed around it, and the front table is tied with red silk. , the decoration is quite festive, everything looks clean, even the tables and chairs have been replaced with new ones, which shows that a lot of effort has been put into it.

Before the food is served, four small plates are placed on each table. This is a wedding banquet custom. As for what to put on the plates, you can be as frugal as you like. The better the dishes are, the more glorious the host’s face will be. Tonight The four dishes on display have won praises from many people. They are melon seeds, pine nuts, wedding candies, and cigarettes. Melon seeds and wedding candies are almost standard and must-have items. Pine nuts and cigarettes are the items that enhance the status of the host.

Especially cigarettes, there are a lot of them on every table.

The cigarettes on their table have not been touched yet. Huo Minglou does not smoke. The other guests at the same table are very reserved. They only smoke melon seeds and rarely talk to each other.

Song Hongguo was helpless about this. She didn't know anyone else, and Huo Minglou was not the one who took the initiative to strike up a conversation. As a result, their table of guests was considered the most low-key, and they had no enthusiasm for attending the wedding banquet.

In the beginning, the Wu family arranged for the four of them to sit at this table. Song Hongguo was Li Qingxiu's natal family and was supposed to be with the Li family, but could Song Hongguo agree?

Later, they compromised and gathered together with other individual tourists. Song Hongguo would rather be embarrassed than be with the Li family.

The Li family was humiliated in public, and one can imagine their expressions. There were quite a few of them here tonight. Li Qingshan's family and Li Qingshui's family, adults and children, could all sit together at the same table. However, the banquet arrangement was relatively far back. They didn't care, they were eating and drinking, looking quite content and comfortable.

The bride and groom entered the venue, and the banquet officially began, but before it started, several leaders from the city came on stage to say a few blessings to warm up the place. The top leader did not come, but Xu fs was there, and leaders from other departments They were all very supportive. Sitting at the front tables, all in Mao suits, they were not familiar enough to recognize who was who.

After Lu fs and Wu Derong said some emotional words of thanks, the dishes were finally served on the table. The first dish was the braised pork elbow, which was shiny and rosy, soft and fall off the bones. People's faces showed the shocking power of this elbow.

Those who are not concentrated enough may even make the sound of swallowing saliva.

Although it was a bit rude and unseemly, few people laughed at it. Who said that this is the current situation? Who is not greedy for meat? It’s just a matter of seeing who can pretend better.

Immediately afterwards, the next few dishes are also meat dishes, beef stew with potatoes, although there is less beef and more potatoes, it is still a meat dish, and stir-fried spicy chicken, more than half of which is pepper, but you can also find chicken nuggets. The fried hairtail and salted prawns didn't come with too many side dishes, so they were quite substantial, but the quantity was strictly controlled. In short, each table could only have one guest per person, no more.

The most affordable dish is the Pork Belly Stewed Cabbage Vermicelli dish, which is served in a full bowl, accompanied by a small basket and two boxes of steamed buns. Well, this is the meal that keeps guests satisfied.
