Chapter 252: Husband and Children
"Teacher He Xi, I'll give you a cup!"
In the hotel, Meng Huo encountered a headache.
After Tomato and Huameng toast, the editors and cartoonists turned their attention to him and began to toast him.
"Can I use a drink instead..."
Meng Huo said a little embarrassedly, holding a glass of orange juice. This is how Teacher Hua Meng and the others dealt with it just now. He is not an adult yet, so in theory he should be prohibited from drinking. Moreover, since his previous life, he has hated drinking because he will get drunk.
"Orange juice won't work!"
"Teacher He Xi, don't be so stingy."
"That's right, a man, I took Erguotou at the age of sixteen!"
"Teacher He Xi, you are not happy enough! Today, Teacher Tomato is holding a wedding ceremony. Everyone is so happy. How can you make sense if you don't drink two drinks?"
As long as Chinese people go to the dining table, there is a phenomenon that they like to persuade them to drink. Whether they are familiar or unfamiliar, alcohol is an eternal topic for people at the dining table. Sometimes if you don’t drink it, it will make others disappointed.
Meng Huo sighed, he had to drink today.
"Then..." However, he was about to speak when a tall figure inserted in. Alice, who was originally having dinner at another table, stood beside Meng Huo. She smiled and said, "Okay, don't bully Teacher He Xi, how about I'll drink this wine for him?"
"good!"
The cartoonists were excited.
"I love to make a comedy, but I don't know how much I drink!"
"Come on, let's do it first."
The scene changed, and the toast was shifted to Alice, which made Meng Huo stunned.
Sometimes he really doesn't know whether Chinese people are enthusiastic or indifferent. They will desperately persuade someone to drink, but they will accept it happily when someone drinks it on their behalf. This feeling is not like enthusiasm for people. Instead, it seems like pursuing the atmosphere of wine.
But no matter what, Meng Huo escaped. Alice has been fighting in the entertainment industry for so many years, so she shouldn't have to worry about drinking.
While the fun was around, Meng Huo chatted with Ye Xiong who was sitting beside him: "I said to the editor-in-chief, so the editors won't say it. Why are all cartoonists so enthusiastic about me today?"
"It's not because of your "One Piece". "Ye Xiong smiled and looked up at the toasting cartoonists. He whispered: "Many teachers have targeted the assistant position of "One Piece". After a while, you will be shocked again when you choose an assistant."
The style of "One Piece" is special, but according to convention, Meng Huo will also look for a new assistant sooner or later. For this reason, many cartoonists from Phoenix Company have scrambled to imitate the style of "One Piece" and wanted to get the chance to be selected by Meng Huo. This wedding banquet is an opportunity, and they all want to miss their faces in front of Meng Huo.
"I see……"
Meng Huo understood, it seemed that Tomato and Xi Wenlin had already expressed the benefits of being his assistants, otherwise these cartoonists would not be so active.
He saw that several cartoonists had their own serialized comics. According to common sense, they would not be willing to let go of their figures. However, when Meng Huo's assistant could earn more, this news made everyone excited.
Several meters apart, Shen Jie and some women sat in the same seat.
She watched Alice standing beside Meng Huo for drinking, pouting, and said dissatisfiedly: "I can drink well, too."
"Don't go." Li Qin hurriedly grabbed her: "What kind of wine does a girl of sixteen or seventeen drink!"
She can see through some of Chen Jie's thoughts now. She can do anything to show in front of Meng Huo. If she doesn't hold her back, she might run over to drink in the next second.
"Alice won't get drunk..."
Holding Chen Jie with one hand, Li Qin looked at Alice with some concern. After more than ten minutes, Alice walked back with a flushed face.
“How much did you drink?”
Li Qin asked worriedly.
“Not much…”
Alice smiled, her condition looked normal, and Li Qin was relieved and finished the meal together.
After the wedding banquet ended, several people did not dare to let Alice, who had drunk alcohol drive, so they asked Sun Yang to send them back. Sun Yang was one of the few editors who did not drink. When he saw the red Porsche, his eyes lit up and he immediately agreed.
"Teacher He Xi, you guys are ready to sit down."
Meng Huo sat in the secondary seat and the other three women sat behind him. Sun Yang excitedly drove the car.
When he first came into contact with this kind of luxury car, he was a little excited. He started to move hard, but after driving for a while, the car slowly stabilized. Meng Huo and Sun Yang chatted. The three women behind him started to be very quiet, but soon caused a topic.
"I'm talking about Sister Qin." The topic was Alice sitting in the middle. She squinted her eyes and lay on her head, and asked in a low voice: "Are you happy now?"
Li Qin was shocked by this question and was a little amused: "Why did you suddenly say such things?"
"I just want to know..."
Alice reached out to her forehead, and she wanted to say something in her heart.
In fact, she drank a lot of wine at the wedding banquet. Now the smell of alcohol made her unable to control her mouth: "Sister Qin, you don't have a husband, are you so happy to raise Meng Huo alone?"
Li Qin found that this sister was a little drunk. If it were the usual Alice, she wouldn't have asked this question in the car.
"Well, I'm very happy..."
Li Qin sighed. She had been suspicious for a long time that Alice's family life must be very bad, and today her question was completely exposed.
"Is she going to divorce her husband?"
This thought flashed through his mind, and Li Qin answered Alice's words.
"Alice, whoever says a woman needs to have a husband to support her, as long as she has a goal in life..." she said: "Whether she is husband or children, as long as she is not alone, I feel happy. I have pulled Meng Huo up. It was very hard before, but seeing how he is now..."
Li Qin looked at Meng Huo, who was chatting in front of him, and a spoiled flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have not heard the conversation behind him, and Li Qin laughed.
“I feel very happy.”
Her laughter made Alice feel a little sad. She lowered her head and found the hands of the woman next to her who had never been cared for by her husband. The hands were filled with scars and calluses, which were traces of suffering accumulated over the years.
Alice vaguely remembers that when she first met the mother and son, Li Qin had wrinkles on her face and her temples were a little white. However, now, after suffering—
In addition to seeing traces of the past with both hands, Li Qin is getting younger and younger in other aspects.
"Are you happy?"
Alice turned her head and looked at Meng Huo, and envy flashed in her eyes. She envied Li Qin for having no husband, but she could give birth to such an outstanding child.
"You're right, Sister Qin..."
She laughed, feeling that something was untied in her heart.
"Whoever says a woman has to rely on her husband!"
Alice's voice made Chen Jie hear it. She turned her head and looked at it. She didn't understand the topic of these two older women, but she felt that both of them were fools.
