The next day, afternoon.
The banquet was scheduled for 6:30 PM.
Many neighbors and relatives were invited this time.
As for Dad’s best friend, Liang Bo, he was still in the countryside and had not returned.
At this time, Kang Bo and Mom were both at home.
Kang Er Zheng was also there.
A Zong, the second sister-in-law, and Tian Xiu went to the hotel to prepare ahead of time.
"Big brother, big sister, it’s almost time." Kang Er Zheng looked at his watch.
Kang Bo and Mom came out from inside.
They were dressed neatly.
"Good, we are almost ready." Kang Bo adjusted his sleeves.
"Kang Bo." As they were about to leave, someone came in.
Kang Er Zheng turned his head to look.
He saw a 'familiar face'.
This person was Wan Ling, the daughter of the neighbor, Mrs. Zhu.
Kang Er Zheng had seen her before, but he was not familiar with her.
She didn’t know who Kang Er Zheng was either.
Looking at her, although not very beautiful, she had a kind of gentle appearance, with a curvy figure.
But she wasn’t Kang Er Zheng’s type.
She would probably score 70 to 80 on appearance.
She carried a large jar of medicinal wine.
"Wan Ling," Kang Bo called out her name when he saw her.
"Kang Bo, I don't know how to pick gifts, I don't know if you like it." Wan Ling handed the medicinal wine to Kang Bo.
"You’re too polite, Wan Ling, you’re too polite to send such a big gift, we are neighbors." Kang Bo also said politely.
"You’re welcome, you’re welcome. By the way, Kang Bo, there are a few patients in the emergency room, I have to go back to work overtime, I can't go to your wedding feast." Wan Ling apologized.
"How can you do that, you won’t even eat dinner?" Kang Bo said embarrassedly.
"Wan Ling, here is your red envelope." Mom took out a red envelope and gave it to Wan Ling.
"No need." Wan Ling wanted to refuse.
"You must take it." Mom insisted on putting it in her hand.
"Kang Bo, I wish you good health and a long life in advance." Wan Ling accepted and congratulated.
"Good, good, good." Kang Bo nodded with a smile.
"Then I’ll go now." She said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, she glanced at Kang Er Zheng, her face flushed, and she lowered her head.
Kang Er Zheng didn’t care.
"Let's go, big brother, big sister." Kang Er Zheng said.
"Okay."
Kang Er Zheng drove them to the restaurant.
Restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant, there were no guests yet.
Only A Zong, the second sister-in-law, and Tian Xiu were there.
Tian Xiu was watching cartoons.
A Zong was drinking tea.
"You guys are here, Dad, Mom, little uncle, have some tea." The second sister-in-law poured each of them a cup of tea.
"No guests yet?" Kang Er Zheng asked.
"Not yet, it's only a little after five." The second sister-in-law shook her head.
"Have A Guang and the others arrived yet?" Kang Bo asked.
"Not yet." The second sister-in-law shook her head.
Kang Er Zheng sat next to Tian Xiu and watched cartoons with him.
The cartoons were actually quite interesting.
Soon, guests arrived one after another.
A Zong and the second sister-in-law were there to greet the guests, there was no need for the younger brother to entertain them.
"Wealth God Kang." An elderly man with glasses walked in and called Kang Bo’s nickname. "Congratulations, congratulations."
"Welcome, welcome." Kang Bo smiled and welcomed him.
He took out a red envelope and gave it to Kang Bo.
Kang Bo also said politely and accepted the red envelope.
"A Kang, you’re 65 years old, how many grandchildren do you have?" The man sat down and chatted with Kang Bo.
"Just one." Kang Bo raised one finger.
"Your sons are all grown up, especially A Guang, he’s the same age as my second son." The man was a bit surprised when he heard Kang Bo’s words.
"My sons are not obedient, only my second son and second daughter-in-law are obedient." Kang Bo joked.
"Uncle Xiang, have some tea. My husband and I are the most obedient, Dad. Whatever he says, we do." The second sister-in-law served tea to the man, and she also acted very dutiful and filial.
"Mom, no, you said we shouldn’t come so early, to avoid dealing with nosy people." This little stinker, Tian Xiu, started to rat out his mom. "Dad urged you to come."
The second sister-in-law quickly covered his mouth.
"You little stinker." She felt very embarrassed, and her face turned red.
The second brother also quickly pulled him away.
While they were chatting.
Big Brother Guang came.
He walked into the private room.
He was stunned to find that the person next to him was gone, so he walked out.
"Big brother, what’s wrong?" A Zong was puzzled.
Everyone was confused by Big Brother Guang’s behavior and looked at the door.
After a while, he walked in again.
This time, he had a woman with shoulder-length hair next to him.
Kang Er Zheng recognized her at a glance, it was Xiang Lan when she was young.
She looked pretty good.
"Dad, her name is Xiang Lan, she works in the same factory as me." Big Brother Guang introduced somewhat embarrassedly.
Xiang Lan was also very nervous.
"Oh, oh, oh, a coworker, right?" Kang Bo looked at Xiang Lan, also a bit excited.
His fool actually took the initiative to find a girlfriend. Good, good, good.
"She’s a coworker, but also my girlfriend." Big Brother Guang introduced, a little shy.
The neighbors started to discuss Xiang Lan.
They all praised Xiang Lan for being beautiful.
"Good, good, good." Dad was even happier after confirming that she was his girlfriend.
He took a look at her and thought she wasn’t bad.
Big Brother Guang pulled Xiang Lan to Kang Bo.
"Uncle, this is a little something, I, I wish you a happy birthday." Xiang Lan's accent revealed that she was from outside of the city.
Kang Bo was originally smiling, but when he heard Xiang Lan’s words, his smile froze.
"A Guang, take her to sit down." Mom saw that Dad wasn’t saying anything, so she told Big Brother Guang.
Big Brother Guang nodded and pulled Xiang Lan to sit down.
A relative sat down next to Xiang Lan as soon as she sat down.
"Little sister, you don’t look like you’re from Yangcheng." The relative asked.
"I’m from Henan." Xiang Lan introduced herself generously.
She didn’t think there was anything wrong with being from Henan.
"Oh, you’re from Henan." The relative’s tone raised a bit, as if he was making a joke.
"So your big brother likes girls from outside the city. If I had known, I would have introduced a few from my shop to your big brother." The second sister-in-law also joked about Big Brother Guang.
"You’re crazy, are the ones from your shop that pretty?" A Zong glanced at her.
The second sister-in-law was jealous and pinched A Zong’s thigh.
"A Guang, not bad, you can find a girlfriend, you can tell at a glance that she’s a good wife and mother." Kang Er Zheng praised Big Brother Guang.
Xiang Lan was even more embarrassed and lowered her head.
Big Brother Guang was also a little shy.
Kang Bo’s face wasn’t as good as before.
"Big brother, be open-minded, A Guang is already over 40, it's difficult to find such a beautiful girl." Kang Er Zheng comforted his brother, Kang Bo.
Kang Bo forced a smile.
"It’s time, should we serve the food?" The waiter came over and asked.
"Let’s serve the food then." Kang Bo looked at the time and found that A Zu and A Yao hadn’t arrived yet.
Mom and Kang Bo greeted the guests to take their seats.
Just as the guests were settling down.
A Yao and Xing Zi made their grand entrance.
"I hope Big Brother’s heart is strong enough." Kang Er Zheng secretly glanced at Kang Bo beside him.
As the elder of the Kang family, Kang Er Zheng naturally had the right to sit next to Kang Bo.
