Chapter 641: Find One More
The following day, the main branch of Huahong Hotel was closed to the public for a day, but the Huang and Zeng families were gathered in the largest private room. The huge private room contained only a large round table that could seat more than 20 people.
Grandma sat in the center, looking at the scene of her children and grandchildren, her smile never stopping.
My aunt was talking to my husband's older sister, Zeng Lijuan. She looked rosy-cheeked, indicating that she had fully recovered.
Uncle Zeng Jiahua and his brother-in-law Lao Huang were drinking tea and making plans to invite Lao Yu to go fishing together. During this special period, the three of them had very few outdoor activities and were almost bored to death. Now that the alert was over, they could go out and have fun again.
The children are the most active. Among them, Tang Ruixuan will be in fifth grade when school starts. She is also the oldest among them. She is steady and has the demeanor of an elder sister. At this moment, she is playing with her younger brothers and sisters.
However, it is obvious that the children are divided into two groups due to their different personalities. Tang Ruixuan, Huang Zemian and Huang Zeji, the three siblings, are steady and they get along very well when they get together, even though the youngest Huang Zeji is several years older than the other two.
The other group, led by Huo Xinyuan (Liu Jin), consists of Huang Ruiying and Maowa. Maowa is Liu Jin's loyal follower, and they are the same age, just in different months. Liu Jin is almost half a year older than Maowa, so Liu Jin is Maowa's older sister.
The little devil and her sister Liujin are birds of a feather; whenever there's a family gathering, these two troublemakers are inseparable.
My eldest brother-in-law, Tang Jianhua, went to the kitchen to arrange things. My second brother-in-law, Huo Miao, was busy at the factory and hadn't arrived yet. Everyone was waiting for him so that the feast could begin.
Yu Xiang, her sister-in-law Jiang Rong, and her two older sisters were chatting about parenting.
Huang Xiaochuan chatted with his second brother, Huang Erhe, as the two brothers hadn't seen each other for a while.
"Second brother, how have you been lately?"
Huang Erhe is living a very comfortable life now. He has no financial pressure and lives a very extravagant life. He travels by private car. Although he lives in a garden villa in Shanghai, or a hillside villa like those in Hong Kong, it is a rare new-style lane house with a private gate and courtyard, four stories high. Moreover, the house was fully renovated when it was given to him.
Everything is provided, including air conditioning, heating, whole-house water purification, and fresh air ventilation. All appliances and furniture are also provided, all from major brands. The father and son can simply move in with their bags. In addition, there are hourly workers who come to the house regularly to clean, cook, and do laundry for the father and son.
So even though Huang Erhe is a divorced man, he lives a very comfortable life. He knows how he got all this, because he has a younger brother who is the richest man in Asia.
Of course, Huang Erhe also understood that if he hadn't divorced Fan Yingrong, he wouldn't be sitting here today, and he wouldn't have everything he has now.
Huang Erhe no longer needs to work hard. With this relaxed mindset, everything is in harmony. For example, at work, he doesn't compete or fight for anything, just does his job well. He doesn't care about honors, bonuses, or promotions.
In this way, he naturally gained popularity. People like Huang Erhe, who are generous and don't compete or fight, are seen as natural friends by his colleagues. Of course, not everyone is qualified to be Huang Erhe's friend.
However, there were countless people eager to introduce Huang Erhe to potential partners, and every few days someone would come to him as a matchmaker. Of course, there were also many young women from his workplace who took the initiative to flirt with him, but Huang Erhe kept his distance from them all.
Seeing his younger brother talking to him, Huang Erhe replied, "I'm doing fine now. Besides work, I play badminton in my spare time to keep fit. I don't have to worry about Maowa either. He's quite self-disciplined, which saves me a lot of trouble." As he spoke, Huang Erhe glanced at his son.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Xiaochuan advised, "Second Brother, if you meet someone suitable, you might as well consider it."
Huang Erhe quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's talk about this when Maowa is older!"
Huang Xiaochuan laughed: "Second Brother, you can't be afraid of everything just because you were bitten once, can you? You still have to look for it."
In the future, Maowa will have his own life, and you will have yours. Humans, in this life, we must live for others, but also for ourselves.
Huang Erhe still hasn't changed his mind: "I really don't want to think about this right now. To be honest, many people have wanted to introduce me to potential partners, but I've turned them all down."
Huang Xiaochuan continued to persuade him, "What I'm saying doesn't just represent my own opinion, but also that of your parents. You should think about it carefully!"
Huang Erhe smiled and said, "We'll see!"
Having said what needed to be said, Huang Xiaochuan stopped trying to persuade him. These things depended on Huang Erhe's own willingness; there was no use in others worrying about it.

At that moment, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside, and Tang Jianhua walked in with Huo Miao.
"Can you hurry up? There are so many of us waiting for you." Zeng Xia complained as soon as she saw her man arrive.
While apologizing to everyone, Huo Miao said to Zeng Xia, "I'm so sorry, I told you not to wait for me!"
Huang Xiaochuan stood up and said, "Alright, Second Sister, your husband is busy at the factory, so don't talk about him."
Huang Xiaochuan still had a good impression of his second brother-in-law. Although his second sister, Zeng Xia, had a bad temper, Huo Miao remained devoted to her.
Seeing her younger brother speak up for her, Zeng Xia stopped there and didn't dwell on it. Actually, she was just saying a few words for everyone to hear, because she felt a little guilty for making so many people wait for her man alone.
Once everyone was present, people of all ages took their seats in order.
"Cheers!" The whole family raised their glasses together.
After the clinking of glasses, the children had all eaten their fill and went back to play together. With the children gone, the adults' conversation naturally turned to Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying, who were about to start school.
Zeng Lijuan said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaodong and Xiaoduo have arrived at school. Please take good care of them."
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I've arranged everything. I've put the two children in two different classes. Xiaodong is in Class 2 of Grade 1, and Xiaoduo is in Class 5 of Grade 1. I know the homeroom teachers of both classes very well, and they have a lot of teaching experience. In particular, Xiaoduo's homeroom teacher, Teacher Miao, is also the grade director."
Yu Xiang sat down next to her sister-in-law Jiang Rong and said, "Sister-in-law, we'll have to trouble you with Xiao Dong and Xiao Duo from now on. Just like we agreed before, please ask the teachers at school to treat them equally and not give them any special treatment."
Jiang Rong replied, "We're all family, no need to trouble yourself! Don't worry! As for Xiao Dong and Xiao Duo, Xiao Chuan specifically spoke with the principal and the teacher in charge, right? No one will mention their identities. Their studies and life are the same as other children, except I'll keep an eye on them a bit."
At this moment, Zeng Hong said, "It's all thanks to my sister-in-law's good upbringing. Even though our family is well-off, Xiaodong and Xiaoduo have always been just like ordinary children, never arrogant."
Everyone agreed on this point. At this point, the old lady suddenly remembered something and took out two red envelopes from her pocket.
"As usual, I gave red envelopes to Xuanxuan, Liujin and the others when they were in first grade. Xiaodong and Xiaoduo will be in first grade soon, so naturally they should get one too. Here, you can take them for them first."
After saying that, he handed the red envelope to Huang Xiaochuan, who quickly got up and took it.
"Then I'll accept it for them."
Then Huang Xiaochuan called out, "Xiaodong, Xiaoduo, come here quickly, Grandma gave you red envelopes to celebrate your starting school."
Upon hearing this, the little devil darted over to her father and said to her great-grandmother, "Thank you, Great-Grandma!"
Following that, Huang Zeji also expressed his gratitude to the old woman. After receiving the red envelopes from their father, the two of them left happily.
Old Huang's alcohol tolerance was still as poor as ever. After drinking three cups, his eyes started to glaze over, so Zeng Lijuan stopped letting him touch his cup. Huang Xiaochuan and Huang Erhe, along with their uncle, Tang Jianhua, and Huo Miao, toasted each other while chatting about current events and business.
The women in the house, the younger ones chatted about their children, while the older ones discussed the most popular TV dramas.
