The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 293 A wedding banquet between two families
Outside the courtyard, the sun was scorching.

However, the bangs seemed to be in a world of ice and snow, a chill rose from the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't help but shiver.

It was almost noon, and none of the residents in the compound came to his house to pay the gift money.

If this continues, the Liu family will lose all their money.

Those radishes and cabbage were also bought with money.
The situation in the Li family is completely different.

Today, the person in charge of receiving the gift money from the Li family is the little girl He Yuyu.

There was a long queue in front of the gift list table.

It was the first time for He Yuyu to do this kind of work. He didn't know the specific regulations, so he could only learn the rules in the book and shout out every time he received a gift.

"Director Zhang of the passenger transport workshop of the locomotive depot, a gift of 2 yuan."

"Uncle Wang Tieniu of the Intermediate Court, a gift of 3 cents."

"Zhou Ke from the locomotive depot police station, a gift of 6 yuan."

After a while, the gift book was filled with densely packed names, and a pile of money was placed on the table.

The residents in the compound all live on 3 cents, but the people in the locomotive depot are very generous, and no one pays less than 1 yuan.

Liu Haizhong, who rarely smoked, took out a cigarette pot and squatted next to Yi Zhonghai, clicking.

The smoke covered his sad face, and his chapped lips trembled as he uttered a sentence:

"Lao Yi, what do you think of this matter?"

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to give some words of comfort when he saw Director Wang from the sub-district office coming and hurriedly kicked Liu Haizhong with his feet.

Liu Haizhong woke up, threw away his pipe and pot, ran over and licked his face and smiled at Director Wang: "Director, you are really brilliant for coming to my son's wedding banquet."

"Liu Haizhong, you misunderstood. I'm here to recruit people for Li Aiguo." Director Wang interrupted him coldly: "I heard that as the second uncle, you don't want to benefit the residents, but instead take advantage of your position. Threatening residents to pay high rents."

"I" Liu Haizhong drooped his head and was speechless.

He hated Yan Bugui so much in his heart that Yan Bugui must have caused this matter.

"You have to take care of yourself in the middle of your bangs!"

Director Wang said a cold word, turned around and walked to the Li family's gift table and handed over thirty cents.

"Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office, a gift of 3 cents."

He Yuyu just finished singing the harmony.

Another 2 dollars appeared on the table.

"This is?" He Yuyu raised his head and stared at his big innocent eyes.

Director Wang said: "Just now, as the director of the sub-district office, I collected some money for Li Aiguo. Now, as an elder, I give him a gift."

Although He Yuyu didn't understand the difference, he still hurriedly collected the money and sang loudly:

"Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office, a gift of 2 yuan!"

Time unknowingly came to noon.

Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng came to the gate at the same time and set off a firecracker respectively.

The sound of cannons means that the feast has begun.

Li's house here.

The anxious residents gathered around the big iron pot, waiting for their plates to be served.

That's right, because of the buffet wedding banquet model, everything needs to be done by the guests themselves.

but.

See the braised pork, braised carp, and saliva chicken on the plate
Even if the residents are a little tired, they are still happy.

After eating this feast, I won’t be craving for meat for at least half a year.

In particular, Wang Gangzhu brought several hanging pig intestines from the slaughterhouse for Li Aiguo's wedding banquet.

Nan Yi made an ancestral dish of roasted large intestine with green onions.

This dish is a famous dish. Before liberation, it was said to be the favorite dish of Nishinomiya.

When the dishes were placed on the table, Li Aiguo and Chen Xueru toasted the residents one by one.

The first place I went to was the table in the maintenance section.

Today, the teacher Liu Guozhang did not come in person in order to avoid suspicion, but only sent someone to send congratulatory gifts.

Section Chief Xing of the Locomotive Maintenance Department held a meeting in the ministry.

The person with the highest status at this table is Minister Niu of the Armed Forces Department of the Maintenance Department.

Li Aiguo picked up a glass of wine and walked up to him: "Thank you all leaders for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend Comrade Chen Xueru and I's wedding. I hope you don't dislike it. Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my wedding with so-and-so. As the groom, I am here to do the first thing to show respect, and thank you all for your sincere blessings to the two of us, thank you!!"

After that, drink a glass of wine.

Amidst the blessings, Li Aiguo came to the next table.

After a round of toasts and more than a dozen glasses of wine, Li Aiguo's face turned slightly red. When he entered the room, Chen Xueru made tea for him, ignoring the rule that the new wife could not work.

When he handed it over, he said coquettishly: "Why are you so serious? You won't only drink half a cup?"

"I'm getting married today, I'm happy." Li Aiguo glanced sideways at the cute little wife in front of him.

Chen Xueru's face turned red with embarrassment when she came into contact with the rough man's fiery gaze.

She lowered her head, tugged at the hem of her clothes and said nervously, "Wait until night."

at this time.The feast outside officially began.

The residents picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in their mouths. They couldn't help but squint their eyes and praise it in unison.

In these days, the only way to judge the quality of a banquet is whether the food is hard.

Even the well-informed comrades such as Cao Wenzhi, the director of the passenger transport workshop in the locomotive depot, Niu Minister of the Armed Forces Department, and Zhou Ke could not help but admire the richness of the dishes.

More importantly, Li Aiguo didn't spend a penny on this wedding banquet, nor did he help.

Zhou Ke remembered that when he got married, he was as tired as his third grandson, and he felt depressed.

Brother Patriot is really lucky.

"Zhou Ke, you don't like it? Then move the braised pork in front of you this way so that my wife can't reach it." Minister Niu also brought his wife.

The Korean lesbian was very beautiful, but she didn't speak Mandarin proficiently enough and was a little reserved at the dinner table.

Zhou Ke quickly picked up two chopsticks and stuffed the braised pork into his mouth before placing the plate over.

His greedy look caused a burst of laughter.

The Li family's side is very lively, but the Liu family next door seems deserted.

After a whole morning of busy work, Chef Fatty finally prepared several dishes for the table.

Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangfu and the second aunt helped put the dishes on the table, but found that there were no guests at all.

The only people at the table were Yi Zhonghai, Aunt Ma, Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu.

The scene looked particularly shabby against the backdrop of the Li family.

When things got to this point, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry on.

He invited several people to sit down.

Jia Zhang looked at the dishes on the table, snorted coldly, and squinted her eyes: "Liu Haizhong, you are feeding rabbits!"

"Jia Zhang, why are you talking!" Liu Haizhong was angry, but not in a good mood.

Mrs. Jia Zhang pointed to the dishes on the table: "You are not feeding rabbits, why are they all vegetarian?"

The green dishes on the table looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

Liu Haizhong explained hesitantly: "I am advocating the spirit of diligence and thrift promoted by the street office."

This explanation is perfect.

But Jia Zhang said something back.

"When you charge our Jia family 2 yuan, why don't you advocate it?"

Liu Haizhong: "."

Liu Guangqi and his wife felt a little uncomfortable because the wedding banquet was ruined.

Seeing Jia Zhang's quarrel, the two stood up to argue with Jia Zhang.

Considering that both the Liu family and the Jia family were important allies, Yi Zhonghai could only offer words of advice.

"You all should calm down and think about Silly Zhu. Aren't you satisfied?"

When Silly Pillar was mentioned, several people fell silent.

Picking up the chopsticks, he stuffed the green-glowing dishes into his mouth.

Everyone immediately frowned.

"Bah, rabbits won't eat this thing!" Jia Zhang spat it out.

"That shouldn't be the case. I hired Shazhu's apprentice to cook the food."

Liu Haizhong didn't believe in evil, so he picked up a piece of radish with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

I almost fainted.

He slapped his chopsticks on the table, called the chef Fatty, pointed at the dishes on the table and asked: "Fatty, what's going on?"

The fat man rolled his eyes: "I have mastered the core cooking skills of Shazhu!"

"What core technology?"

"When cutting vegetables, don't cut your fingers, and when cooking, don't touch the bottom of the pot with your hands."

Liu Haizhong: "."

He felt that he had been deceived.

In order to make up for his mistake, Liu Haizhong didn't pay the fat man a penny at the end of the banquet.

"Master Liu, what you're doing is against the rules." The fat man wanted to quarrel with him.

Liu Haizhong picked up the shovel, pointed it at his nose, and said angrily: "You, a charlatan, have the nerve to ask for wages?"

The fat man was so frightened that he ran away.

He always felt that his cooking skills were not utilized because Liu Haizhong was too stingy.

If he gets more meat dishes, he will definitely be able to make delicious dishes.

As for the large basins and toilets brought by Jia Zhang, they were originally intended to hold vegetables, but they were not used.

Not even a mouse would eat this thing!
Qin Huairu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The food she got out of the toilet was really hard for her to swallow.
