Chapter 593 Family Meeting
Chapter 593 Family Meeting
Although Gu Yu and Xia Xue did not tell Xia Donghai and Liu Mei the exact time they would be home, their parents had already prepared for it and filled the refrigerator with the children's favorite foods.
After an hour of hard work, a sumptuous dinner was served on the table, including spicy crab, braised yellow croaker, sweet and sour spare ribs, hamburger meat, croquettes, etc.
The brothers Liu Xing and Xia Yu were drooling as they looked at the delicious food on the table, but they didn't dare to pick up their chopsticks as they watched Liu Mei's expression.
"Well, today is a happy reunion day, and the children are all back. Let us raise our glasses together and toast Comrade Liu Mei first to thank her mother for her hard work!"
Xia Donghai has always been a kind father at home, which is also related to his personality and education method. He took the initiative to speak and try to ease the atmosphere.
When Liu Mei saw Liu Xing and Xia Yu, her face turned cold again. After hearing what Xia Donghai said, she also knew what he was planning and rolled her eyes at him.
"Mom, Dad is right. Today is a happy day. This is also a reunion dinner. Let's not think about other things. There will be a solution."
Xia Xue, who was sitting next to Liu Mei, acted like a caring mother, comforting and persuading her,
"Aunt Liu, you've worked so hard. I respect you. What I miss most in Shanghai is the food you cooked.
As soon as I saw these delicious foods, I couldn't wait to eat them. "Gu Yu smiled and raised his glass.
Seeing this, Liu Mei sighed helplessly and raised her glass, temporarily suppressing her anger. Just like Gu Yu and the others said, today is indeed a day worth being happy about.
After toasting together, Liu Xing saw that Liu Mei's expression had eased a lot, and the heavy stone on his heart finally fell to the ground. Today's scene really reminded him of his childhood trauma.
"Mom, please have some spareribs. Mom, really, I always feel that I am the happiest child. I have such a good mother like you who cooks such delicious meals for us every day.
Don't worry, Xiaoyu and I have deeply realized our problems and are determined to study hard and catch up..."
"Alright, alright, you keep talking big and your words are better than your actions. Just eat your meal."
Liu Xing had a flattering smile on his face. He tried to carefully put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Liu Mei's bowl, and then began to flatter her seriously and firmly, expressing his determination.
Before he could finish his words, Liu Mei waved her hand to stop him. No one knows a child better than his mother. Every time Liu Xing got into trouble, he would behave himself for a day or two. The key is that academic performance cannot be improved and maintained in a day or two.
Liu Mei had just adjusted her mood and didn't want to bother with the two children's problems for the time being.
Seeing Liu Mei's attitude, Liu Xing smiled awkwardly and sat down awkwardly, with a sad look on his face. The delicious meal in front of him seemed to have lost some of its flavor.
It seems that this matter is not over yet.
Liu Xing muttered to himself, glanced at Xia Yu who was eating happily beside him, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Heartless little fat boy, you are still chewing crabs, be careful or your mom will give you a snack later!
"I was just mad at Liu Xing and the others, and I didn't even have a good chat with you. Gu Yu, don't buy so many things for your uncle and aunt in the future.
Auntie knows you can make money, but we don't lack anything at home. Your uncle Xia and aunt Liu have good salaries, so just buy whatever you want.
Especially Liu Xing and Xia Yu, two little kids, buying them anything expensive is a waste of money,"
Liu Mei thought of the gifts that Gu Yuxiaxue brought to everyone when she came back, and she couldn't help but nagging.
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time." Gu Yu agreed with a smile.
"You kid, you always agree to something." Liu Mei shook her head slightly and picked up a piece of hamburger meat for Gu Yu.
Although Gu Yu didn't listen, she and Xia Donghai had never thought about getting anything in return from Gu Yu.
However, Gu Yu is a man of loyalty and righteousness. Since the beginning of his career, he has always wanted to give back to Xia Donghai's family.
Buying gifts is a small matter. Two years ago, when Xia Donghai wanted to buy a villa for his family, the couple persuaded him to stop. Gu Yu gave in and replaced the villa with a BMW X7.
Xia Donghai, who couldn't refuse, could only drive happily every day, and always showed off in a low-key manner when he met neighbors, friends and colleagues.
With Gu Yu around, Xia Donghai and Liu Mei are more confident about the future of Xia Xue and the other three children.
They did not ask Gu Yu to give them any material rewards, but hoped to raise three children in the future.
It was precisely because of this that the education and supervision of Liu Xing and Xia Yu were relaxed.
"Xiaoxue, how are you doing in school recently? When you came back from the National Day holiday, you told mom that you wanted to do an internship. What's going on? Aren't you only a junior?" Liu Mei was concerned about Xia Xue again.
“It’s not a hard and fast rule, it’s more like social practice. Our major focuses more on work experience in large companies.
If you have the conditions, you can experience it in advance, which will definitely be beneficial for your future development. Mom, don't worry, I have arranged everything for me~"
Xia Xue replied with a smile, not forgetting to glance at Gu Yu who was eating hamburger meat with his head down.
"Don't bother Gu Yu all the time. His company has been developing over the past few years. He has a lot of investment projects and other businesses in Hong Kong. Don't bother him with your little things," Xia Donghai said seriously.
But Xia Xue didn't listen to him. She wrinkled her nose at him and made a cute face.
"Brother Gu Yu really cares about me. He arranged everything for me without me even saying anything." Xia Xue said proudly.
"Uncle Xia, the company's specific business is handled by the people below, and I am free most of the time. Besides, how can I not care about my family's affairs?" Gu Yu also spoke to comfort him.
"Okay, your career is your career, but when you have time, you must pay attention to your health. Don't learn from your uncle Xia, who has a beer belly and everything is too high." Xia Donghai reminded,
"Do you know your own physical condition? I told you to exercise more and set a good example for your children. Now you are using yourself as a negative example."
Liu Mei frowned, a little angry. Xia Donghai smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.
During the meal, most of the conversations were about family matters. In a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, the relationship between family members became more harmonious. However, there were some things that Liu Xing and Xia Yu always had to face.
"Everyone is here today. I declare that the family meeting to discuss and decide how Liu Xing and Xia Yu can improve their academic performance and what goals they need to achieve has officially begun!"
After dinner, even though Liu Xing and Xia Yu took the initiative to wash the dishes, their judgment still came.
In the living room, Xia Donghai and Liu Mei sat at the main seats, Gu Yu and Xia Xue sat on the small sofas on either side, while Liu Xing and Xia Yu took a small stool and sat in front of the coffee table.
Liu Mei acted like a parent and solemnly announced the start of the meeting.
"Madam President, I would like to speak first!"
Xia Xue sat upright, raised her hand to speak, and was very formal, more formal than the United Nations General Assembly.
In fact, compared with the United Nations meeting, Xia Donghai's family meeting may be more efficient and can effectively solve the problem.
