The facial expressions of the relatives of the Shen family and the Song family, and the close relatives of the Zhou family except Zhou Lin's parents can only be described by the word "shock".Behind this adjective describing a dazed and shocked look, we can get the following information: Today is the first time they meet Shen Xiaoxiao, the youngest daughter of the Shen family.

According to common sense, it seems unlikely that the relatives living with the Shen family in Shanghai have not seen Xiao Xiao in person in the past few months after returning to China.Of course, the relatives in Lianyungang, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Nanjing, and Hangzhou may be because they don't often visit the Shen family, and they only saw a small message about returning to China from the family WeChat group.This situation is probably directly related to the attitude of the little mother Song Mingjuan.

In the eyes of parents, they would never allow their children to get tattoos.The reason is clear: "Tattooing", which is contrary to China's 5000-year-old cultural and historical tradition, intentionally hurts one's skin, basically only appears on young people who have learned badly.Any young people with tattoos will give people the impression of dawdling in society, having been in prison, being immoral or bad children.

The subjective point of view of the elders in the family is generally aimed at boys.If something like "tattoo" appeared on a certain girl, it could only be described as bad tutoring, not serious, rebellious, and ruffian.

If the girl is very pleasing to her elders and friends in all aspects, then it's okay for her to have one or two small and cute tattoos on the hidden parts of her body surface.But for Shen Xiaoxiao, an outstanding girl with large area, many patterns, individuality and unique tattoos, I believe that the elders in the family will not be able to find a suitable "argument" to educate the other party for a while.

It is precisely because there are so many factors that need to be carefully considered, that Song Mingjuan did not abruptly ask her daughter to meet, chat with relatives, or have a regular meal.However, paper cannot contain fire after all.In any case, she couldn't change the iron-clad fact that her daughter had been back to China for four months.

After all, the daughter is going to meet people, and she is going to marry after all. She will never hide her daughter at home because of the tattoo.Therefore, taking advantage of her son's wedding day, Song Mingjuan still made the decision to let her daughter meet her family.

The performance of her relatives was within her expectation.But what made her feel incredible was that the only surviving elder of the Shen family and the Song family, that is, her own mother, turned a blind eye to the alienated granddaughter.After hesitating for a while because she didn't understand, she still led her daughter to her mother.

Glancing at her mother sitting on the banquet table, Song Mingjuan whispered to her daughter, "This is your grandmother, do you remember? Go over and say hello to your grandmother. If she is willing, you can also chat with her for a while." .”

Xiaoxiao nodded with a light smile, walked up to her grandmother, bent down and said softly in Mandarin: "Grandma, nice to meet you! I am Shen Xiaoxiao, do you remember?"

The grandmother smiled and stared at her intently, and said to her in the Shanghai dialect of the older generation of Shanghainese: "My little daughter, you finally returned to Shanghai? Grandma misses you so much."

Almost like a conditioned reflex, I opened my mouth to pay back to my grandmother in Spanish.Then I thought about it: "Grandmother must not understand Spanish, but I can't understand her words either. Forget it, I will answer her in English."

"Yes, grandma, I'm back. Grandma, are you in good health? It seems that your body is very healthy." Xiaoxiao whispered a long paragraph in English softly.

"Little girl, I can understand your words. I am in good health, thank you." After hesitating for a while, the grandmother answered her in English as short as possible.

"Jesus Christ, my grandmother can speak English?? Grandma, are you kidding me?"

"No, I'm surprised."

"It's unbelievable."

"Okay, little girl, if you want to chat with grandma, come and find me later."

"Yes, yes, thank you, grandmother."

The behavior of the grandparents and grandchildren chatting in English at the banquet stunned other relatives present.But soon, the relatives of the Shen family and the Song family unexpectedly returned to a calm state.Only the close relatives of the Zhou family, the in-laws of the sons and daughters, couldn't help making a fuss.

The eldest daughter of the Song family, the elder sister of Song Mingjuan, left the banquet with a smile on her face, walked to Xiaoxiao, took her hand and said in Mandarin: "I really don't see it, the second sister actually taught me an 'American hand'! Xiaoxiao Little, although the tattoo on your body looks creepy, but I can understand it, auntie. Well, American culture. "

Xiao Xiao smiled softly and said, "Aunt... Auntie? Hi, hello, thank you for understanding me."

"Come here, come and sit with Auntie, let's have a good chat."

"Uh, Auntie, I believe we will have a lot of chances to chat in the future. Now, I'm going to greet my friends, don't you mind?"

"No, we are a family, so we naturally have time to chat and drink tea."

Song Mingjuan didn't expect that her daughter chatted with her mother in English by mistake.The fact that her mother could speak English was not a shocking family secret to the Song and Shen families.After all, the two families know a lot about their mother's experiences when she was young.

After talking to her proud mother Song Mingjuan, Shen Xiaoxiao walked quickly to the table of friends where Mao Yuanluo was sitting.After glancing at the strangers sitting at the banquet table, he smiled and said to Mao Yuan, "Hey, let's sit at the banquet table for the newcomers."

Mao Yuan looked at her and whispered, "Sit at the table of the bride and groom? Xiao Xiao, I don't think I have the right to murmur."

"Please, who cares about that. Come here."

"Forget it, I... I'll just sit here."

"Hey, have you forgotten who I am? Have you forgotten what our relationship is?"

"Hey, well, I just listen to you. Let me make it clear that if there are not enough seats for the table for newcomers, I will still come back to sit at the friend table."

"You can do whatever you want."

... Mao Yuan glanced at the little parents, and whispered to her: "Hey, let's drink after the dinner. If you are thirsty, can I accompany you to find some juice to drink?"

Xiao Xiao just glanced at her with a smile without saying a word, then turned around and said to her parents sitting beside her, "Daddy, Mom, I'm going to have a drink with my grandmother."

Shen Guodong grinned and laughed, gently patted his wife's left shoulder and said, "I didn't expect that the grandpa and grandson could get together."

Song Mingjuan cast a reproachful look at her husband, then turned her face and said to her daughter with a smile: "My dear daughter, your brother and sister-in-law have already arrived at the hotel. Why don't you talk to your grandmother when they start welcoming guests?"
