Lu Tao's mother, Tian Susu, had fallen in love with this beautiful, gentle, and amiable future "daughter-in-law" from the first time she saw Du Xiaoyu.
At 10: 35 in the evening, Tian Susu and her daughter, Lu Ping, who was carrying her little grandson, got off the high-speed train and came to the exit. They saw Lu Tao waiting outside the railing at a glance. On his right was a tall and beautiful girl with picturesque features. The girl held Lu Tao's right hand with her left hand and leaned gently on Lu Tao's shoulder. The two of them looked very intimate.
When Tian Susu and Lu Ping swiped their tickets and walked out of the checkpoint, Lu Tao came over with the beautiful girl. Lu Tao reached out and took the suitcase from his mother's hand. Du Xiaoyu greeted Tian Susu and Lu Ping very affectionately and reached out to take the child in Lu Ping's hand. Lu Ping hurriedly handed the child to her with a smile, then turned her head and asked Lu Tao in a low voice, "Xiao Tao, is this your girlfriend? She's so handsome! "
Du Xiaoyu heard Lu Ping's words and did not wait for Lu Tao to answer. She smiled and introduced herself, "Auntie, sister, my name is Du Xiaoyu. I'm Lu Tao's girlfriend."
When Tian Susu heard her say that she was Lu Tao's girlfriend, she was so happy that she beamed with joy. She couldn't help but look up and down at this handsome daughter-in-law. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She was a rural woman and was clumsy with words. She only knew how to keep saying, "Good, good!"
Du Xiaoyu hugged Lu Ping's son and kissed his little face affectionately. She said with a smile, "This little nephew is so cute. He's not shy at all. Look at how obedient he is now!"
As she said that, she took out a prepared red packet from her small kun bag and put it in the child's dudou. Then, she handed the child back to Lu Ping.
Lu Ping saw that the red packet she stuffed in her son's dudou was bulging. It was estimated to be at least two thousand yuan. She had a good impression of her. She quickly reached out to take her son and thanked her with a smile.
Ten minutes later, Lu Tao brought his mother, sister, and Du Xiaoyu back to the rented "Green Coast Mansion". Du Xiaoyu acted as if she was at home. She first used the electric kettle to boil water, then found tea leaves and cups from the kitchen. She made a few cups of tea and personally brought two cups to Tian Susu and Lu Ping. Then, she sat down next to Tian Susu and chatted with her and Lu Ping.
Not long after, Lu Tao came out of the bedroom after making the bedding. Lu Ping suddenly said, "Little Tao, Mommy will be fifty the day after tomorrow. Your birthday is only one day away from Mommy's. Just now on the high-speed train, I discussed it with your mother. Why don't the two of you celebrate your birthday together? The time will be on your birthday. Since it's Saturday and you don't have to go to work, your brother-in-law can bring Xiaohu from Guangzhou to celebrate Mom's birthday. Our family can have a reunion. What do you think? "
Before Lu Tao could answer, Du Xiaoyu asked, "Auntie, is it your 50th birthday the day after tomorrow? Then we have to celebrate! "
Lu Tao smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, Mom has already said that she won't hold a banquet for her 50th birthday. It's just a celebration for our family. I think my sister's suggestion is good. We'll buy groceries and cook at home on Saturday. I'll celebrate my birthday with my mother. "
Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Aren't you going to invite me?"
Before Lu Tao could answer, Lu Ping said, "Xiaoyu, you are Little Tao's girlfriend. You are family with us. Why do you need him to invite you? You must come! "
Du Xiaoyu said happily, "Thank you, Big Sister!"
Tian Susu looked at Du Xiaoyu and suddenly said, "Xiao Tao, yesterday I received a call from your three uncles and aunts. They knew that I was celebrating my birthday in Tao Lin and said that they wanted to come over for a drink. Just now on the train, I received a call from your second aunt. She said that she, your third aunt, fourth aunt, and a few cousins also wanted to come to Tao Lin for a drink. I couldn't reject them no matter how hard I tried. I don't think your living room is big. If your uncles, aunts, and cousins all come over, there might be more than a dozen of them. I'm afraid a table of food won't be enough! "
Lu Tao asked curiously, "Didn't Big Sister just say that we were the only family reunion? Why are uncles and aunts coming over? "
Tian Susu smiled and said, "I originally wanted to call and fire them tomorrow, but now that you've found a girlfriend, I want your uncle, aunt and aunts to come over and meet Xiao Yu. It's best to take advantage of the fact that the elders are here, and the two of you can get engaged. That way, I can be at ease, but I don't know if Xiao Yu is willing!"
When Du Xiaoyu heard that Tian Susu wanted Lu Tao to be engaged to her, she couldn't help but burst with joy. She quickly said, "Aunty, I'm willing! As long as Lu Tao doesn't have any objections, I can marry him now! "
Lu Tao rubbed his palms awkwardly and said, "Mom, I have only been dating Xiaoyu for a month. If we get engaged now, I think it's too rushed and sloppy. Let's talk about it after a while! Since the relatives from Qingxi County are coming, then we can only book two or three tables in the hotel. I'll book them tomorrow. "
Du Xiaoyu was disappointed when she saw that Lu Tao didn't agree to the engagement. However, this kind of disappointment couldn't be shown on her face. She could only say, "Lu Tao, leave the matter of booking the banquet to me. How about this, we'll book the banquet at the O 'Neal Hotel. I'll get Brother Song to arrange it. Your relatives came all the way from Qingxi County, so you have to find a decent place to drink. In Taolin County, only the O 'Neal Hotel is better. Moreover, with Brother Song there, the quality of the food and wine can be guaranteed. We can also give you a discount on the price. Is that okay? "
Lu Tao didn't want to go to O 'Neill's banquet, but seeing how enthusiastic Du Xiaoyu was, and how he had just rejected her proposal to get engaged, if he rejected the hotel she suggested, it would make her lose face. He could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement."
After discussing the banquet, it was almost twelve o 'clock. Du Xiaoyu said goodbye to Lu Tao's mother and sister. Lu Tao sent her downstairs and returned the keys to the Mercedes-Benz to her. He also waved goodbye to her.
Du Xiaoyu drove to the O 'Neal Hotel and returned the car to Song Xitang. She also told him about the banquet for Lu Tao's mother's fiftieth birthday and reminded him to carefully arrange a few tables of food on Saturday to satisfy Lu Tao's family.
When Song Xitang heard that it would be Lu Tao's mother's fiftieth birthday in two days and that there would be several banquets, his eyes lit up and he quickly agreed.
After Du Xiaoyu left, Song Xitang immediately called Liu Hong and said in a slightly excited tone, "Chairman, didn't you just ask me how to win Lu Tao over to our side? Now the opportunity has come! "
Liu Hong hurriedly asked, "What opportunity?"
"I just heard from Xiaoyu that the day after tomorrow is Lu Tao's mother's fiftieth birthday and Lu Tao's birthday is also on Saturday. The mother and son discussed that they will hold a few banquets at the O 'Neal Hotel on Saturday to entertain the relatives who came from their hometown in Qingxi County. I think we can take advantage of this opportunity to hold a grand birthday banquet for Lu Tao's mother so that he can gain face in front of his relatives and friends. At the same time, we can also take advantage of this festive day to make the relationship between Xiaoyu and the Liu Family clear. This may make Lu Tao change his mind and no longer be enemies with the Liu Family and the O 'Neal Group in the future! "
