Chapter 876 Apology on behalf of the mother (2)
Tan Xingguo still booked a private room this time, and when the three of them arrived, the two brothers Tan Xingli hadn't arrived yet.
Tan Xinghua looked at his watch and said, "I told them to arrive at five o'clock, and now it's already five twenty. I really don't have any sense of time."
Tan Xingguo ordered food, and when the waiter left, he frowned and said, "Second, fourth and fifth are not perfect, but restrain your temper in front of others."
Tan Xinghua didn't refute, turned his head and said to Pei Yue: "Third brother, although Tan Xingli is not a weapon, he is better at listening to his elder brother, while Tan Xinglian is acting like a fool."
Pei Yue checked these two people. Tan Xingli is indeed relatively honest in the unit, and has a good relationship with the leader and colleagues, so he is now promoted to deputy section chief, but he has a bad relationship with his wife and often quarrels. However, Tan Xinglian was not serious about his work, and he often contradicted the leadership when he was late and returned early. If it wasn't for his strong background, he would have been fired early.
While talking, I heard a strange voice outside: "Beautiful girl, it's here, don't take it to the wrong place."
Pei Yue had stayed in Hong Kong City before, and he knew that he was talking to Hong Kong City. Now Hong Kong things are popular in Forty-Nine City, and many young people imitate the language there, thinking it is so foreign. As everyone knows, in the eyes of many people, they think they are two fools.
Tan Xingguo's face sank when he heard these nondescript words.
Soon the door was pushed open, and two young men walked in from the outside. The one walking in the front was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and his appearance was four or five points similar to Tan Xingguo; the one walking behind was fair-skinned and delicate, unlike the four of them. Split up, looking like those street sneakers on the street.
As soon as Tan Xinglian walked in, he greeted the two brothers Tan Xingguo.
Tan Xingguo saw his clothes and said with a sullen face, "Old Wu, what do you look like?"
Tan Xinglian was not afraid of Tan Xingguo, so he pulled down his open jacket, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother, these are the most fashionable clothes in Forty-Nine City now. But brother, you are as old-fashioned as Dad, tell you I don’t even understand.”
Tan Xingguo was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Tan Xinghua didn't care what he was wearing, but said with a cold face: "You can wear whatever you want outside, but you are not allowed to dress like this when you go home. If you don't make the old man angry, I will break your legs."
Tan Xinglian's eyes flashed with fear, but seeing the people sitting next to him quickly regained his composure: "Don't worry, second brother, I will definitely not be angry with the old man."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Pei Yue and raised his voice to ask: "Second brother, is this our third brother? I heard that he looks like you, but I didn't expect this resemblance, just like twins."
Pei Yue glanced at Tan Xinglian and said nothing. To say that he and Tan Xinghua are like twins is not to show that he is very old. But from the conversation just now, it can be seen that Tan Xinglian is very afraid of Tan Xinghua, and he probably has been beaten many times before.
Tan Xingli saw Pei Yue sitting there with a still expression on his face, took a glass of water from the table, walked up to Pei Yue, held the tea in both hands and leaned over, saying, "Third Brother, I'm sorry, what happened back then was my mother's fault, I'm here to represent you." She apologized to you."
Tan Xinglian stood there without moving. Before coming here, Tan Xingli had already told him what happened back then, his mother was wrong, but is the old man all right? It's just that the old man is strong and everyone dare not disobey him, so he forced his mother to bow his head. It's just that no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to sabotage, otherwise Tan Xinghua would beat him to death again.
Pei Yue said expressionlessly: "Go back and tell them that I will not forgive what happened back then, not in this life."
Tan Xingli's face was ugly, but he still responded in a low voice.
Tan Xinglian was unwilling, put his hands in his pockets and said, "I can't get enough to eat with you. Fourth brother, let's go out and eat!"
Tan Xingli didn't want to stay here for dinner either. He has been afraid of the old man since he was a child, but Tan Xingguo looks the most like the old man, especially when he has a sullen face, he is exactly the same, how can he eat with such a face.
Tan Xinghua waved his hand and said, "If you want to go out, it's up to you. Anyway, the old man's allowance is in your hands, and you are not short of this money."
The old man's salary is in the hands of the woman. But both brothers are capable, as long as Qu Yan takes good care of the old man, they don't care about money.
Tan Xingli blushed, and went out with Tan Xinglian.
During the meal, Tan Xingguo didn't mention Tian Shao again, but only asked about Pei Yue's work. Because Pei Yuecha's cases are all confidential, there is nothing to talk about.
Seeing this, Tan Xinghua chatted with Pei Yue about military matters. Pei Yue misses his years in the army very much, and the two of them have a lot in common in this respect. You talk to me, and the chat is very speculative. But as soon as the food came, Tan Xinghua stopped chatting with Pei Yue and concentrated on cooking.
Tan Xinghua said while eating, "When we return to the northwest, we won't be able to eat such delicious food."
Tan Xingguo felt a little guilty. He was transferred back to Sijiu City, and now Pei Yue wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to them. It is impossible for Tan Xinghua to return to Forty-Nine City before he retires.
After dinner, Tan Xingguo and Pei Yue set a meeting place and time for Sunday, and then separated.
Tan Xinghua touched his stomach that was a little bit full, and said, "Brother, how much do you think we should ask the old man? For the banquets on both sides, two thousand yuan should be enough?"
Tan Xingguo shook his head and said: "This wedding is not only counted as the money for the wedding banquet, but also to buy three big things. In addition, we also need to buy clothes and bride price for the woman, and 3,000 yuan is barely enough."
Tan Xinghua gloated and said: "Three thousand yuan, that's the old man's half-year allowance plus retirement pension, that woman will die of pain."
He didn't think about the old man's money, but the woman was holding on to the old man's salary and always complaining about her hard work, so he didn't like it. It's just that he's a man, and he's a junior, so it's not easy to quarrel with the other party, and he feels a fire in his heart. But he got angry, so he went to beat Tan Xinglian.
Tan Xingguo didn't mention him either. Tan Xinghua acted in a proper manner, and he would say everything in front of him, but he would not speak ill of the old man outside, let alone mention Qu Yan.
The two brothers returned to Xiaohonglou, and then went to see the old man together. Tan Xingguo didn't hide it from him, saying that Tan Xingli apologized on behalf of Qu Yan, and Pei Yue didn't forgive but was willing to recognize his ancestors.
Tan Xingguo said: "Dad, Ping An said that his adoptive mother took the name. I hope he will get better and better. This has a good meaning. Just change your surname and don't change your name."
Old Master Tan hummed and said, "Just change your surname, not your name, and you will ask him to come here on Sunday."
Tan Xingguo shook his head and said, "Dad, you can't do it on Sunday. I made an appointment with my third son to visit Mom on Sunday. When he is not busy, I will bring him here."
Tan Xingguo didn't dare to be Pei Yue's master. After this year, he figured it out, and he had to discuss it with Pei Yue. If you want to come, he will fight you to the end.
The old man was dissatisfied, but he knew that there was nothing he could do to Pei Yue.
