Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 168 Chapter 168
After handing over the dinner reception work to Sha Zhu, Li Pingan felt relieved, greeted Da Ma, walked out of the courtyard to the supply and marketing cooperative at the entrance of the street, bought a few packs of Daqianmen, and prepared for the evening reception.

As for the wine, forget it, why spend that unreasonable money, it's not that there are no empty wine bottles at home, and it's not that there is no wine in the warehouse that I cheated into.Just refill it. The Moutai in the warehouse is estimated to be able to fill another three bottles. I will treat them to drink tonight.

After everything was tidied up, it didn't take long to see Ding Qiunan and Chen Youfu pushing their bicycles back to the courtyard.

At a glance, all the colleagues from the three departments have come, and Ding Qiunan is riding a bicycle, pushing a dozen bicycles into the middle courtyard, this scene is still very spectacular.

Li Pingan hurried up to greet them, took out his cigarettes and enthusiastically scattered them one by one: "Welcome, welcome, come in and sit down, the food inside is already prepared, five meat and three vegetables, a large amount to satisfy your hunger"

Because they are all colleagues in the unit, they ate in Li Pingan's own room today. Yi Zhonghai, his wife and Ding Qiunan did not attend the table, and served some dishes alone to eat in Yi Zhonghai's room.

In the afternoon, Li Pingan went to the Third Master's house to borrow an Eight Immortals table. The table in his own room was too small to accommodate so many people.

After everyone entered the room, Li Pingan quickly took out Ding Qiunan's snacks and put them on the table to cheer everyone up.Now Silly Zhu is still cooking in the kitchen, and he has to wait a while to eat.

Since Ding Qiunan married in, he has lived a life of free snacks, and he has never been short of melon seeds.

"It's safe, you kid, this is a deep secret. Our family can only eat melon seeds during the Chinese New Year. I think there are a lot of them in the cabinet." Dong Yanqin said enviously, nibbling melon seeds.

Li Pingan smiled: "Sister Qin, you have wronged me. This is to entertain you. I specially made it. This is a good thing, and I can still have it every day in my house."

"Isn't melon seeds easy to get? If you want them, I'll go to the countryside tomorrow to get some and bring them back. Is there too much? It's no problem to get three or four catties," Zhang Daquan said to Dong Yanqin.

Dong Yanqin became interested and began to discuss with Zhang Daquan about getting melon seeds.

The people who purchased the three subjects chatted happily, and it didn't take long for Ding Qiunan and Sha Zhu to start serving dishes with plates.

Dong Yanqin saw that Ding Qiunan had put all the dishes on the table, and instead of sitting down, she left the place, and said in surprise, "It's safe, why didn't Dr. Ding sit down and eat together?"

Li Pingan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sister Qin, just leave her alone. Today is our department's dinner party. Qiu Nan is not here to eat. I will serve some dishes in advance and eat at my uncle's."

"Okay, Xiao Dong, don't worry about it. Let's have dinner safely today. Let's do whatever you want." Huang Wanlin, who was sitting next to Dong Yanqin, patted the table, and then said again: "Where's the wine, what about the dishes?" It's all set, why is there no wine?"

Li Pingan turned and entered the room, and took out three refilled bottles of Moutai: "Comrades, these are the last three bottles of Moutai I have left, and I will wipe them out tonight."

The people who purchased Keli were all wine mengzi. When they saw the Moutai wine that Li Pingan took out, their eyes were straightened.Although these people are not short of money, Moutai is really not something that anyone can drink. This stuff is now mainly supplied to senior cadres, and there is no way to buy it in the market.

After everyone had poured the wine, Li Pingan asked Chen Youfu to mention something, and the people in Corey also booed.In the end, Chen Youfu really couldn't refuse, so he picked up his wine glass and stood up: "Comrades, today is a treat for Ping An. He is the host and I am the guest. Ordinarily this first sentence should be mentioned by Ping An, but you asked me to mention it." , then I will have the cheek to mention one.”

"It has been 3 years since our department was established. Strictly speaking, today is the first time our department has a meal alone. First of all, I would like to thank Comrade Ping An for the sumptuous food prepared for everyone today"

"What's more, Comrade Ping An will go on a business trip the day after tomorrow, and it will take about two months to come back. We are also seeing Ping An off today. I wish Comrade Ping An can successfully complete the tasks assigned to him by the organization during this business trip."

"Finally, I wish you all the best in your work in the coming days, unite with leaders and colleagues, and strive for early progress."

After Chen Youfu finished speaking, he drank it all down. Although the colleagues below thought Chen Youfu's last words were strange, they didn't think much about them. The roof was blown off.

The only person here was Li Pingan, who knew the news in advance, and he heard what Chen Youfu said at the end. This meal was both a farewell and a breakup.When Li Pingan returns from a business trip, it is estimated that he will never purchase the unit of the third department again. The colleagues sitting here will be diverted to other departments to reintegrate into the new small group.

After all, they are all colleagues who have been together for three months, and I really feel a little bit sad, but Li Pingan didn't show anything, and was still happy to drink and chat with everyone.

A group of people were talking and laughing, very happy, they had prepared too much food, and there was still a lot left when the show ended.These are all buyers, and there is no shortage of oil and water on weekdays. Even if Dong Yanqin, the recorder, does not go to the countryside, the family conditions are actually good. Backed by colleagues from the third department, there is really no shortage of meat at home.

These people drank a lot today. After finishing three bottles of Moutai, they drank another six bottles of Fenjiu.Li Pingan sent people out, and after seeing these people staggering and disappearing on their bicycles, he turned and returned to the courtyard.

When I got home, I saw Ding Qiunan, Da Ma and Xu Yanxia cleaning up the leftovers on the table.

Seeing Li Pingan coming back, the first mother asked worriedly: "Ping An, are your colleagues full? I see that there are quite a lot of these dishes left."

Li Pingan waved his hand, smiled and said to the first mother: "Don't worry, I'm full, these people don't lack oil and water in their stomachs. Let's not eat these leftovers, make them into a basket and send them to the hospital Neighbors in need, I see that the old Liu’s child in the backyard is very thin, so send some to the child to make up for it.”

They are all neighbors in the courtyard. Others eat bran and swallow vegetables every day, while their own family eats fish and meat every day.Even if it is something from a legitimate source, after a long time, people will feel jealous in their hearts.

Anyway, Li Pingan doesn't want to eat these leftovers, so it's better to give them to the needy neighbors in the courtyard, so as to gain a good reputation. Make trouble safely.

Xu Yanxia, ​​who was clearing the table after listening to Li Ping'an's words, whispered inwardly. In Xu Yanxia's eyes, these were good things that could not be eaten in the countryside before. Li Ping'an was going to send them to the neighbors in the hospital, which was too prodigal.

But these things belonged to Li Pingan, and he could deal with them as he wanted. Besides, Li Pingan was kind to Xu Yanxia, ​​so he would never have any bad thoughts in his heart, but he just felt pity in his heart.

"Isn't it too much to send out? There is still a lot of meat left in it, enough for our whole family to eat several meals." The first mother is not usually a stingy person, but after all, she is used to living a hard life. I really can't bear it.

Li Pingan could understand what the aunt was thinking. After thinking about it, he decided to tell the aunt that he was going to be promoted to a deputy department: "Auntie, don't be reluctant to bear these things. I will be promoted to a deputy department soon. Send these things out and organize them at that time." When I sent people down to understand the situation, I still hoped that the people in our courtyard would say more good things to me."

Hearing the news that her nephew was going to be promoted to the deputy department, the aunt didn't even clear the table, and asked with a smile on her face: "When will the organization come to investigate? I'll ask your uncle to get some stick noodles. give some"

Li Pingan: "."

Just now I was reluctant to give some zheluo, but now after hearing the news that I will be promoted to a deputy department, I am not only willing to give it up, but also want to get some stick noodles to help my neighbors. Do you want to be so realistic, big mom?

Li Pingan didn't say too much about the specific situation, he briefly talked about it, and asked not to spread it to the outside world, then left the room and went to where Yi Zhonghai was.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were chatting, saw Li Pingan come in, asked Li Pingan to sit down, and asked about the business trip.

After briefly talking about the situation, Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything. Although the business trip took a little longer, it was a task assigned by the organization after all, and it's not like he won't be back.

"Brother Ping'an, I haven't thanked you for the matter with Yanxia, ​​so how about it, come to my place tomorrow night, and I will serve you a table of good food, and it will be a matchmaker gift." Silly Zhu seemed to have drunk a lot , blushing and asked Li Pingan to eat at home tomorrow.

"Brother Zhuzi, forget it, I have something to do tomorrow, please wait until I come back from a business trip, this meal can't escape you." Li Pingan chatted with Silly Zhu for a while with a smile.

Not long after, the aunt came in with a basket,

After the aunt came in, she said to Li Pingan with a happy face: "Peace, I have finished the folding baskets, let's go, let's send them door to door now, or later, everyone will fall asleep."

Yi Zhonghai was very puzzled when he saw his wife who was smiling and urging him to deliver the baskets. This is not his wife's style.Although I have doubts in my heart, it is not convenient to ask because of the presence of Silly Zhu, so I can only suppress my curiosity and ask after I go to bed at night.

Li Pingan didn't want to go there at first, and delivered leftovers from door to door at night. Li Pingan, the soul of future generations, felt awkward about it.

Seeing the aunt who kept urging him, Li Pingan sighed, and could only take the basin from the aunt's hand, and followed the cheerful aunt to the backyard helplessly.

The first one to come was the Liu family in the backyard. Old Liu’s family had a difficult life. He worked in a waste station, and it cost more than 20 yuan a month. I can earn three or four yuan. There are five children in the family, and there is an old woman to support. The conditions in the courtyard are the worst.

The per capita income of Liu's family is less than five yuan, and they belong to a poor household. They can't eat meat once a month.The children in the family are also very sensible. Every day after school, the eldest brother takes a few children out to pick up scraps. He can't wear a new piece of clothes all year round, and the clothes are full of patches.

The family's difficulties have become like this, and they didn't cry poorly in the courtyard. Compared with the Jia family in the middle courtyard, the virtues of the Liu family can be said to be as high as the sky.

The aunt knocked on the door of Liu's house, and after expressing her intention to come, she left a large bowl full of leftovers, which contained a lot of meat. Naturally, the Liu family was very grateful.

The aunt did not take the credit for herself: "Oh, thank you, this is sent by Ping An, and Ping An takes care of your family's difficulties. The day after tomorrow, Ping An will be on a business trip. Today, colleagues from Ping An's unit will come to see you off. I got some leftovers and asked me to send them over to make up for the children."

The Liu family thanked Li Pingan again. Li Pingan had never experienced this kind of scene, and it was a little embarrassing.

They didn't talk for a long time, and before leaving, the first mother said to the Liu family: "Old sister-in-law, you have to pay attention to your health, Ping An will be on a business trip for two months the day after tomorrow, and the food on the way is packed by the public. Ping An said, the two of them The monthly rations are all taken out and distributed to the needy families in the courtyard. I will send some white noodles over tomorrow. You are getting old, so eat a few meals of white noodles."

"."

Looking at the big mother who was talking nonsense, Li Pingan didn't know what to say. In order to cope with the future organization review, he was willing to give away the white noodles.It was really worrying about my own future.

After that, I sent two more families, both of whom were poor households in the courtyard. The aunt said the same thing, saying that she would give away stick noodles and white noodles.

After returning to Yi Zhonghai's room, Li Pingan closed the door and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, you've just passed a little bit, and it's enough to send some zheba. Why promise to send them white noodles and stick noodles?"

The aunt ignored Li Pingan, and excitedly pulled Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, go to the pigeon market tomorrow to find some food stamps from a ticket dealer, and then go to the grain station to buy some food. We will help our hospital for the past two months." Neighbor"

After Yi Zhonghai listened to it, he was at a loss. Ever since he went to deliver the baskets just now, he felt that something was wrong with his wife. Now that he was told to go to the Pigeon Market to buy food stamps to help his neighbors, he couldn't help his curiosity anymore. Confused, he asked, "I've found out that something is wrong with you just now, okay, why are you helping the neighbors?"

The big mother beamed and told about Li Pingan's mention of the deputy department. Yi Zhonghai was also very happy when he heard that Li Pingan was going to mention the deputy department.

After that, the two began to discuss the details of the relief with great interest. Li Pingan wanted to dissuade him, but the two of them refused to listen to him. Seeing that they couldn't persuade them, they stopped disturbing the two who were discussing in full swing. With one sentence, he left Yi Zhonghai's place.

After walking out of Yi Zhonghai's room, Li Pingan was still very moved. These two really regarded themselves as their own sons, and they were always thinking of themselves.
