Chapter 48

On July 22th, the [-]nd day of the fifth lunar month, the Zhang family held an engagement banquet for Zhang Hongliang and Liu Xinyu.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the production team called it a day.

The members of the commune washed off their sweat, brought congratulatory gifts, and dragged their children and daughters to Zhang's house one after another.

The Zhang family suddenly became lively.

Although today's Zhang family can't be said to be full of lights and festoons, it is also full of joy.

Under Chen Zhaodi's surveillance, Liu Xinyu changed into more festive clothes and followed the Liu family to Zhang's house.

It was the first time for her to attend such a banquet, so of course she was very curious, but today she was one of the parties involved, so she could only suppress her curiosity and sit quietly beside Chen Zhaodi.

In fact, there are not so many cumbersome procedures in the engagement banquet in the countryside. It is nothing more than inviting the villagers to have a good meal to make everyone feel happy.

In order to show their importance to this marriage, the Zhang family put a lot of thought into it, and the dishes on the table were very rich.

Liu Xinyu heard a lot from Zhang Hongyun, a small talker, yesterday.

The Liu family also sent more than ten catties of rice field eels to the Zhang family yesterday afternoon, and of course all of these rice field eels were served on the table.

It is rare for country people to have such a feast of oil and water. Almost every dish is quickly swept away when it is served. There is only the sound of clashing cups, plates and chopsticks. Occasionally, there are children eagerly asking for chicken or meat. the sound of.

After a few big dishes and hard dishes, the sound gradually started.

"Today, the Zhang family has really lost their roots."

"The dishes on this table cost ten yuan at least."

"Ten yuan? How much is enough! There are chicken, meat, and fish. There is such a real plate of rice field eels on each table. It must be more than ten yuan per table!"

"The rice field eels shouldn't cost any money. The rice field eels were added by the Liu family!"

"The eels belonged to the Liu family? Except for Qingshan, the Liu family can catch eels. I haven't heard that other people can catch eels, too."

"Qingshan is gone, isn't there still Xinyu?"

"Xin Yu? She can catch eels, that's impossible!"

"Otherwise, how did the Liu family get this additional dish!"

"Xin Yu is Qing Shan's only child, and she was also brought up by Qing Shan. You don't even think about it, can Xin Yu know anything?"

"That's true. I heard that the dress Hongyun girl is wearing today was made by Xin Yu."

"Really, I thought it was made by a tailor in the county town!"

"Look at the collar and sleeves of the dress. I've never seen it before. It's really novel and beautiful."

"I really want a shirt like this."

"How about, ask Xin Yu someday if he can make one for us."

……

Although some tables were far away from Liu Xinyu, and the adults shouted at the children, Liu Xinyu couldn't hear everyone's words clearly, but she could still hear some words.

Liu Xinyu was speechless.

This building is crooked!

Mingming was talking about the Zhang family and the dishes on the table, but all the topics fell on her alone, and her eyes gradually focused on her.

Liu Xinyu had never seen any scene before, although she felt a little embarrassed, with a hint of shyness on her face, but she was much more generous than usual.

When someone asks you, you should affirm, you should shake your head, in short, you should smile and eat, which makes people change a lot.

I thought that the engagement banquet would end in a cheerful atmosphere today, but it was getting dark, and some of the younger children had already stood up to say goodbye, when there was a loud noise outside.

Zhang Hongliang hurriedly stood up and went to check the situation outside the courtyard, and soon came his surprised but enthusiastic greeting: "Director Wang, why are you here? Come in, please come in! Dad, this is from the security department of our factory." Director Wang."

Following the sound, Zhang Hongliang led several people into the yard.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, and his expression was extremely serious at the moment.

Accompanying him were two men in their thirties with equally serious expressions.

Liu Xinyu's brows couldn't help but slightly frowned, and a voice crossed his mind: The visitor is not kind!
A distinguished guest from the city came suddenly, and with a bad look on his face, Zhang Daniu panicked: "Rare guest, rare guest, please sit down."

Looking back, I became even more flustered. Where should I sit?

At this moment, no matter inside or outside the courtyard, every table is a mess.

"Quick, mother, Hongxia, clean up quickly."

"Oh, right now."

After a sound of clinking cups and plates, there was the sound of bowls and plates falling to the ground. Wu Qiaozhen and Zhang Hongxia, who had never seen the world, made a mistake in a hurry.

At this time, Chen Zhaodi stood up and ran into Wang Sanmei to help.

Originally, she could continue to sit in the window and watch, but considering that today is always a matter of the Zhang and Liu families.

Besides, she couldn't just watch the Zhang family lose Zhang Hongliang's face.

The comrades in these three cities are Zhang Hongliang's colleagues and leaders!
Liu Xinyu could only sigh in her heart.

Director of the security department!
It can be quite sure that these people rushed to the Minqin brigade at this time, it is definitely the moths that Ma Li did not want to make a fuss about!
I just don't know how big this moth is and what kind of impact it will have on Zhang Hongliang.

It's useless to think too much, just wait for the follow-up.

"Hong Liang is engaged today? Then it's a coincidence that we came here!" After the table was cleared, Director Wang was invited to sit down at the head, swept the brightly lit yard, and opened his mouth with a half-smile.

"Yes, yes, Hong Liang is engaged today. Hong Liang quickly brings Xin Yu over and toasts the leaders together." Zhang Daniu saw that Director Wang's visit was not kind, and he was flustered, but he forced himself to socialize.

At this time, Liu Xinyu had already walked over generously.

Regardless of whether the two of them become a family in the end, today is the day of their engagement, and she must stand with Zhang Hongliang.

At this time, the discerning villagers had already seen that Director Wang and his group were not friendly. Except for the cadres of the brigade and the production team, everyone pulled me and I pulled you, and slowly exited the yard.

Some people who didn't like to watch the excitement dragged their families home with them.

Those who did not leave gathered outside the yard in small groups to listen to the movement in the yard.

Director Wang heard from Ma Li that Zhang Hongliang's engagement partner was a country chaihuo girl, but he didn't expect Liu Xinyu to be better than Ma Li and more like a city girl in terms of dress and temperament, so he couldn't help being stunned.

In addition to being the director of the factory security department, Director Wang is also Uncle Ma Li's close buddy.

He was able to become the director of the security department of the factory because of this relationship.

He had watched Ma Li grow up, and when he heard that Ma Li was being bullied by Zhang Hongliang, his first thought was not to let Zhang Hongliang go.

Ma Li's father is the director of the factory, and her uncle is the deputy director of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee. It is difficult for them to come forward to support Ma Li.

The important task of supporting Ma Li fell on him, the director of the security department.

If you dare to bully Ma Li, let's see how I deal with you!
Director Wang gave Zhang Hongliang a vicious look.
