Chapter five hundred and sixty-one relatives
There was no anticipation of the attacks of the gun and stick in secret, and the ordinary grandfather was not as excited as he had when he saw his grandson who had never met in more than 20 years and had a close blood relationship with him.
Zhang Lisheng's eyes were not tall and his body was a little thin. He could see his mother's shadow after careful observation of his facial features. An Asian old man with gold-rimmed glasses on his nose was able to describe his expression during conversation and laughter. His expressions during conversation and laughter can only be described as "as if nothing happened". It can be seen that he is good at controlling his reason and emotions.
On the contrary, a slightly obese white old man on his right hand laughed and threw his card away, "Carmen, you 'old fox', you have to continue this card when you see your daughter coming home. You must be very lucky. I think we are all idiots and can still call (call bet).
I give up.
Okay, today's card game is over here. It's time for Jennifer to greet Lili's family." He stood up from the chair and was about to leave, but was stopped by Carmen.
"Ponder, before the game started today, we said that at least the sun would set, how could you leave early?" said the first Chinese-American official in the history of the above-mentioned court in New York State.
"But today we didn't expect Lili's family to come..." The fat old man, who was also the official, spread his hands and replied, but when he saw his old friend's serious expression, he immediately sat down again, "Oh, OK OK, I know you are going to say the proverb again, 'Rules are rules'.
OK, let's continue.
Lili, you see that it is not that Uncle Pang De wants to bet on your house and take up your dear dad, but that he is too stubborn and stubborn to do the facts."
"But because of this old-fashioned and stubbornness, he was the youngest official in the above-mentioned courts in the state, right? Uncle Pang De." Lili smiled at Pang De, walked quickly behind her father, bent down like a little girl and hugged his neck, and said with her face close to her face.
Seeing this scene, Pound sighed and said jokingly. "Oh, my heart is broken. Carmen. I really envy you for having such a gentle and lovely daughter."
"I envy me, what's there to envy about this? Pang De, you have four daughters." Carmen finally showed a sincere smile on his face. He let go and patted his daughter's cheek. He said lightly in his mouth.
"Ha. Four daughters, I do have four daughters, but you don't know. Under the influence of Vivian, they have become completely feminists. They have been calling me by my name since they became an adult, and they don't even call me "Dad".
I raised them, sent them to college and then became the 'Pound' they said. This is really a ghost." The fat old man said angrily, as if he was hooked up and angry, showing his usual respected federal officials in public and always serious, and his extremely lifelike side in private gatherings.
When he heard the old friend’s complaint, Carmen comforted him without any pain: “But they all love you, right? Isn’t that enough…”
"Yes, Uncle Pang De, have you forgotten how anxious Annie and Alice were when they were hospitalized last time?" Lili, who was worried, intercepted her father's words, smiled at Pang De, and said, "Dad, that's Li..."
"Lily, after a long journey of hundreds of kilometers, you must be hungry and tired. Let's go to the restaurant to have lunch. Your mother just left the chess and card room for lunch, and you can just meet her and Joey's family.
If there is anything we'll talk about tonight, okay?" Carmen suddenly interrupted his daughter.
Lili was stunned, with a look of disappointment in her eyes, but she still nodded with a reluctant smile, "Okay, Dad, you are playing cards. Now is not a good time to speak, so let's go for a meal."
"Go." Carmen patted his daughter's cheek again lovingly and ordered the maid who had been standing at the door: "Angela, take Lily, Laven and the children to the restaurant. Don't forget to bring some sandwiches and milk when you come back."
"Yes, Your Excellency Judge." The maid nodded, turned around and pushed open the wooden door. Zhang Lisheng lowered his head and curled his lips. He smiled politely like the Raven family, and followed the servant and left the room.
What the young man unexpectedly was that when his back had just disappeared from the crowd, Carmen never spoke on his left, and the serious black old man with expressionless face suddenly spoke: "Carmen, is the Asian child who just mingled with Lavin's family the child that 'that person' and Lily?"
"Yes." The old Asian man frowned, answered two words concisely, and then pushed out all the chips in front of him, "all-in."
"Oh, it seems you're very angry, old man, looking back from this crazy and chaotic era, "that person" is just a small character who can use some witchcraft, but your grandson is a real big man.
Such a successful young man is inevitably proud. It is not a smart way to communicate with him at night with such a mentality." The old black man smiled rarely, persuaded his old friend, then calculated the total face value, pushed out the chips on the table, and said, "call."
Although Zhang Lisheng usually acts very low-key, due to his increasingly reputable reputation, some of the other "gamblers" in the judicial circles here have already heard the rumors, and they vaguely know that Carmen seems to have a very amazing descendant, but it is too private, and only Pound and Rebeck know about the details.
At this moment, when I heard the conversation between the three judges, I naturally felt curious, but my respect for others made no one ask questions among them. I just looked at my own cards absent-mindedly and continued the bet without hesitation.
At this time, Zhang Lisheng, Lili and Lawen's family had already arrived in a room with large floor-to-ceiling windows on three walls, a simple crystal chandelier hanging on the ceiling, and a solid wood oval dining table and comfortable dining chairs were placed under the lamp.
Seven or eight people, old and young, men and women, saw familiar figures walking into the restaurant and greeted them happily.
One of them had a fat figure, looked about seventy years old and had yellow skin, and the dark-haired woman was even more surprised to meet her and hugged Lili, "Oh, it's great that Lili can see you today, it's great, you don't know how much I miss you..."
"I miss your mother too, I miss you too..." Lili whispered in her mother's warm embrace. After a while, she came to her senses and hurriedly pulled the eldest son beside her over, "Mom, this is Li Sheng.
It’s your grandson Li Sheng who you have never met before. I have wanted to bring him to see you and your father for a long time, but unfortunately I didn’t have the chance until now.”
The old woman's body stiffened, and then she realized the black-haired young man standing beside her daughter. She stared silently for more than ten seconds. She seemed to have recalled something deep in her memory, and gradually frowned tightly as if she couldn't bear to look back on the past, showing a hatred expression.
But in the end, he trembled and stretched out his hand, rubbed Zhang Lisheng's short hedgehog-like hair, and murmured incoherently: "Good boy, I'm so happy to see you today. I know you are an amazing person, I'm proud of you.
You can’t blame your child for the past, you don’t blame you. You are innocent, you are a good child. This family welcomes your child, welcomes you..."
"Thank you grandma." A young man who was born in Miaowei Mountain Village and had long become a god and ruled a complete 'world' did not care much about maternal blood relatives other than his mother, but when he heard such words, he smiled slightly, hugged the old woman hard, and said in a sincere tone.
Lili next to her did not see her son's perfunctory attitude, and she breathed a sigh of relief with relief. She pointed at an Asian middle-aged man who had already put down his fork more than ten meters away and introduced to her eldest son: "Li Sheng, that's your uncle Joey, and your aunt Angelia next to him..."
Lili's siblings have four, and they are almost the same age. She is the youngest girl, while Joey has three older sons and two men and five children with his wife.
Listening to his mother's introduction, Zhang Lisheng greeted his cousins with a constant smile. After they met, he sat around the dining table and started to enjoy a steak meal without saying a word.
The young people who were between the age of 20 and 30, who seemed to care much more about rugby, ice hockey competitions, and celebrity scandals than the current political news, obviously had no idea who the strange cousin or cousin who was eating with them.
I asked a few curiously, and knew that Zhang Lisheng had been separated from their sister-in-law since he was born. After growing up in the ancient and mysterious China, he did not dare to continue talking to ask questions more under his father's stern eyes and his aunt's sad expression, and soon started talking about other topics.
After lunch, Mrs. Carmen pulled the tired Lily and Angelia back to the guest room to rest. Lavender and Joey, who was in office as district attorney, talked enthusiastically about the various difficult cases he had encountered in the past year, while young people began to discuss going to the bustling city center.
"Rady, Harry has the last professional hockey league before Christmas this afternoon, with the New York Lightning Leopard against the Chicago Evil Red Dragon. I didn't buy a ticket yesterday. Today I plan to go to the 'scalper' to try my luck. Do you want to go together?" Joey's eldest son Beat asked with a gaze.
"Ice Hockey," Raddy curled his lips, "Oh, there is no trick compared to rugby. It is just ten strong men who can skate, pushing small balls like dessert..."
"Okay, Raddy, we all know that you have played the Super Bowl Rugby Game in the University Federation before. Don't show off, just say if you go to the 'Winter Fantasy Ski Resort' to watch the hockey game?" (To be continued...)
ps: It rained for a long time today, and the flood prevention situation is serious. I wish you never have any accidents!!!
