Autumn and winter come.

The boundary of Pingyang City, on New Year's Day, ushered in the first snow in winter.

Unlike the vast majority of people in the urban and county towns, the people in the countryside of Pingyang City, except for the teachers and students of the school and the employees of the factory buildings who are happy because of the holiday, do not seem to think that New Year's Day is a day worth celebrating. Holidays, what to do...

It is far inferior to the atmosphere of those traditional festivals in the Chinese lunar calendar.

However, this year's New Year's Day is definitely a happy day for Wang Zhu's family in Dongwangzhuang Village, Dongwangzhuang Township, Jinzhou County, and Su Cheng's family in Hetang Village, Guanmiao Township.

Because, this day is the day of great joy for the engagement of Su Chunfeng and Wang Haifei.

In fact, engagement, in the eyes of the country people in Pingyang City, is nothing worth making a fuss about. Under normal circumstances, the uncle-to-be, the matchmaker, and a sister-in-law of the family go to the woman's house to eat dumplings at noon, while the woman's house It is Zhang Luo's relatives and family members, especially the woman who finds a few more sister-in-laws to make dumplings together, and to make dumplings for the new son-in-law, such as pepper stuffing, mustard stuffing, sugar stuffing, vinegar stuffing, bitter stuffing, salty stuffing, etc. Dumplings stuffed with salt made my uncle a little bit wronged when he ate. He tasted all the ups and downs, and then everyone had a good time, and the two sides exchanged engagement notes.

However, the man who got engaged this time is Su Chunfeng, the eldest son of Su Cheng, the chairman of Wantong Logistics Group, who is well-known in the entire Yuzhou Province and even the whole country.

Naturally, the engagement cannot simply be done according to the customs of the hometown.

The old Wang family, whose family is already well-off now, did not hesitate to spend their money this time. They borrowed a few classrooms from the Dongwangzhuang Village Middle School in the village, spent more than 5000 yuan, and set up more than 40 tables of banquets in a serious manner. , but vigorously invited relatives, friends and neighbors, and even asked the man’s relatives and family members to come—although the old Su’s family had expressed their position before, how much money the old Su’s family had to spend, but according to our Pingyang countryside According to the rules, the engagement is arranged by the woman. Of course, the woman spent too much this time, but the old Wang family can't make people laugh. The daughter's engagement is paid by the in-laws?

That won't work!

Well, Wang Zhu and his wife are really hurting when they spend money, but they are happy!

But within a few minutes of the engagement banquet, Wang Zhu and his wife, who were called to the tent house, were a little dumbfounded—good guy, the gift money alone was more than 40 yuan!

Looking at the unfamiliar names on the gift list, the couple sat in the teacher's office that was used as the accounting room, looking at each other. The elder brother who was in charge of the account and a neighbor from the village who was also the vice principal of the school were also a little dumbfounded. And in fear, he used his body to block the drawer filled with hundreds of thousands of cash.

"Hey, who are these people?" Wang Zhu tremblingly looked at his eldest brother.

The eldest brother said with a bitter face: "The guests in the Xitou room all speak with an accent like they are from the city. They should be friends of the in-laws..."

"Father, you can't spend this money, you'll have to return the gift later." Wang Zhu's wife said cautiously.

The vice-principal pushed the glasses frame and said knowledgeably and learnedly: "In my opinion, you two should not worry about the gift this time, and don't even think about it. Who is Su Cheng? Those who know him My friends, who didn’t come here in a luxury car? Look at the cars parked in the school now, which one is driven by your relatives of Wang Zhu? Let me tell you, look at the gift money on this bill , 1, but those who break a thousand are Su Cheng’s friends. Relatives like your old Wang’s family and neighbors in our village are all over a hundred. Then, there are still five yuan. .Actually, Su Cheng and his friends follow the gang just for formality. They don’t take the money seriously at all. If they really care, it’s not a problem for each of them to spend 20 to [-] yuan. So, I didn't intend to ask you to return the gift, people are looking at Su Cheng's face, and Su Cheng will return the gift in the future, and you still expect Wang Zhu to invite you because there are children in his family who are engaged and married?"

Wang Zhu was startled, nodded and said, "Then I will give the gift money to my in-laws later."

"Bah!" The vice-principal spat, stared and said, "Aren't you embarrassing Chairman Su? Can he ask for these dowry money? That's all right, all of you can keep the flowers, don't get cheap and sell them." If you want me to say, what you Wang Zhu should do now is to buy a few small solar electric heaters, blow hot air in that classroom, and set up so many broken iron stoves, it's too ugly! "

"Yes, yes, yes!" My eldest brother reacted faster than his brothers and younger siblings, he quickly stood up, patted his buttocks and ran out.

Wang Zhu and his wife looked at each other.

They had considered it before, the classroom is too cold, and the friends at the in-laws' side are all delicate people who are used to living a comfortable life, so don't make congratulatory guests sick from the cold, then it would be too much for our family to hold an engagement banquet It was outrageous, so I specially bought a few large iron stoves of the rural charcoal-burning type for heating in that classroom, and put them by the window. They were burning red and there was no soot smoke—the tile-roofed houses were already empty. Then open the two windows to ensure that the gas will not be caught, and it will still be warm.

But in the end it is not good-looking.

now.

In the westernmost classroom, four banquets were assembled purely from student desks, surrounded by guests who came to congratulate.In addition to some entrepreneurs in the cities and counties, there are more than a dozen city, county and township officials.

And in this cold weather, there are still two police cars parked on the campus outside the classroom. Several policemen are wandering back and forth in the snow. There are also two police cars parked outside the school gate. Officials from Jinzhou County received Immediately after Su Cheng's invitation call, someone called the Dongwangzhuang Township Government to inform them. Then the County Public Security Bureau worried that the police force in the Dongwangzhuang Township Police Station was not enough, so they specially dispatched several capable police officers to Dongwangzhuang Township Middle School. Ensure Su Cheng's safety.It's not all out of currying favor with this rich man, it's because Su Cheng is too famous and rich, he and his in-laws organized a large number of wedding banquets in the village, and the people of Dongwangzhuang Village are tough, if something happens... …

Oh shit!

In fact, the policemen were secretly cursing in their hearts, why would they find something for us if we have nothing to do.

You, Su Cheng, are worth billions. It would be great if your son got engaged and went directly to the city to book a big hotel. Why do you have to make a fuss in the countryside.No, I haven't met such a bastard with bad intentions. The police and the village cadres of Dongwangzhuang Village are all busy to disperse some irrelevant people and keep them outside the campus gate.

No way, the villagers of Dongwangzhuang heard that Wang Zhu's in-laws, the well-known billionaire from all over the world, were studying in the middle school of the township, and some villagers who couldn't bear their curiosity ran over to see what Su grew up to be like.

Fortunately, not long after the engagement banquet started, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came out and gave red envelopes to every policeman. He said, "This is not a bribe to please everyone. Today, the eldest son of the Su family is engaged. The chairman said, the visitor is a guest, and I am really sorry for disturbing the local policemen, so this congratulatory red envelope must be included! Everyone, please don’t refuse, otherwise it will be a wedding banquet.”

Hey!

That sounds good!

All the thirteen policemen happily accepted the red envelopes, opened them, and haha!All of them are worth [-] yuan!

It's not in vain today!

Chairman Su, rich!Justice!Refreshing!something will happen...

The director of the Dongwangzhuang Township Police Station and a deputy director of the County Public Security Bureau naturally had a banquet indoors. The director was invited in by the gentleman who distributed the red envelope after he came. , is 3000 yuan.

In fact, when Su Cheng notified his friends in Pingyang a few days ago, he really planned to book a few tables in a hotel in Pingyang City. However, after the news spread in the circle, everyone thought, hey, Chairman Su Didn't you hold a banquet in the village to celebrate your son's admission to college?Well, what is the engagement banquet like in the countryside? Let's join in the fun... Ever since, all the people in winter came here to eat the wedding banquet in the cold.

Just make a fresh picture.

The rich people and officials sitting in the classroom didn't feel cold at all, especially because of the freshness of the masterpiece and a few glasses of wine, they all happily felt that after so many years, they had never felt so relaxed It's been turned on-hey, those stoves are burning red, yes, it's interesting!

Wang Zhu's elder brother brought a few tall and thick boys into the classroom with a few small solar electric heaters at the fastest speed. When he was about to replace the stove, he was removed from the banquet by those who surrounded the stove. Several distinguished guests who were chatting with roasted hands were blocked.

"What's the point of changing it? It's pretty good."

"Hey, by the way, who in your village has sweet potatoes at home, can you help me find a few pieces, I want to bake sweet potatoes by myself..."

"Yes, yes, and also, when I was a child in my hometown, I ate baked buns!"

"Barbecue, barbecue! Hurry up, the ready-made cooked meat on the table will do. It will be oily once grilled, not to mention how fragrant it is..."

When Wang Zhu and the elders of the family heard about it, they rushed to find the sweet potatoes and brought them to the classroom. They saw all the guests who were either rich or expensive, and happily withdrew from the banquet. , Those who occupied the seats surrounded the stoves tightly, and even the in-law Su Cheng could only stand on the side, and gave up the place around the stoves to the guests.

The host Wang Zhu saw this posture, and immediately waved his hands boldly and said: "Go, get some more iron stoves!"

Su Chunfeng and Wang Haifei, the protagonists, after toasting at the wine tables of relatives and neighbors one by one, when they came to this classroom again, they couldn't laugh or cry when they saw the scene in the classroom.

This……

This group of people who are either rich or expensive, none of them are upright. They dismantled the banquet that was originally composed of desks and put them in a place within easy reach. Four or five people gathered around a stove, that's all. Chatting and drinking, and holding chopsticks to skewer meat, ham, sweet potatoes, steamed buns...

How about a buffet barbecue?

this day.

The engagement banquet, which started at noon, didn't end until the evening, when the guests who came here to save Su Cheng's face, left in the car happily one by one with blushing faces.

And at the small building newly built by Wang Zhu's son Wang Haiping, this afternoon was also busy.The guests he entertained at home were all Shangang Earthwork Engineering Co., Ltd., Shangang Agricultural and Sideline Products Trading Company, and many people on the roads of Pingyang City and Jinzhou County.

same day.

When Su Chunfeng was busy until the evening, at Wang Haifei's house, he couldn't help crying and laughing, and had to obediently eat all kinds of unpalatable dumplings served by his sister-in-law...

Somewhere in Southern Xinjiang Province thousands of miles away.

A thin young man in ordinary clothes and a peaked cap stood on a small hill looking down the hill, letting the cold wind blow in his face, with a cruel grin on his lips.

I'm Diao Ping, I'm back!
