Chapter 148: Happy
Xu Li turned her head and whispered, "The night owl comes into the house and comes without any trouble. You have to be vigilant."
Xiaowan smiled and said, "Student Xiao Xu, the sky cannot fall."
Xu Li glanced at her, and Yu Guangdong looked at her and smiled, "I'm finally going to serve the food, but my aunt is starving to death."
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Li finished speaking, a waiter came forward to clean up the fruit pots, danders, and reconditioned the countertops. Soon after, a team of waiters came forward to deliver dishes. In the blink of an eye, they put a full table full of cool and hot, and a pot of soup. Although there were no delicacies in the mountains and seas, they were mostly oily and meat, and they were cooked properly, and they were very good at carving dragons and painting phoenixes. In this era, they were undoubtedly considered a fair meal.
Staring at the table full of meals intently, Xu Li quietly touched Xiao Wan and said, "Director Liu is spending a lot of money. I guess he has moved the coffin book, and he has no accountant. It seems that he really doesn't want anyone to follow the gifts, and he has such a great courage."
Liu Yin and Xia Bing heard it in his ears, looked at each other and smiled, almost covering their mouths.
The dishes were good, and each person had a large mahogany bowl in front of him. There was a piece of red silk in it, spreading loosely. A piece of wedding cake the size of a wine cup and two wedding candies were placed in the red silk.
Seeing that it was about to start eating, there was a lot of food. I didn’t know whether it was for food, or for soup, wedding cakes and candies in the bowl, or for guests to eat or in pockets.
While the house was in vain, Liu Yin suddenly took out a golden melon seed from his purse, grabbed the wedding cakes and wedding candies wrapped in red silk, put the golden melon seeds into a wooden bowl, and laughed loudly, "Director Liu is from Jingkou, Jianghan. As far as I know, the custom in their place is that during wedding banquets, the guests have to pick up the red and send the wedding cakes and wedding candies in the red silk. The wedding cakes and wedding candies in the red silk are the red picked up by the guests, which indicates good luck. This wedding is to give the bride and groom a blessing based on his own wishes. Xia Bing, I prepared this small melon seed early. If you are not prepared, you can give the wedding gold."
She seemed to have been prepared for her words, and she spoke with a loud voice and a clear voice. It was clearly the posture of an announcer, and she heard it all over the room.
Xia Bing felt even more obedient. With a giggle, she took out five great union pieces. She put them in the red bowl and said, "It's ready long ago. I wish the bride and groom good luck and a baby soon."
With the help of her and the other two, everyone in the crowd knew how to express it. Many people secretly praised Director Liu for his cleverness. He clearly did not accept gifts, but he collected the gifts openly through the customs of his hometown. It was really wonderful.
Fortunately, everyone knows that this meal is not delicious easily and is prepared. You are twenty or thirty, and you are all put into the bowl.
It happened that Director Liu was welcomed into the door and was just hearing Liu Yin's words. He was so happy that he walked quickly. When he saw the golden little melon seed in Liu Yin's bowl, the smile on his face was almost impossible. "Xiao Liu is here too. Welcome!" As he said that, he reached out to Liu Yin.
Liu Yin was just doing this this time. He must not say anything to Master Liu in the editorial department.
But this time, Director Liu was taking the time to come here to greet him in person. Isn’t it obvious why?
Liu Yin hurriedly stood up, took Director Liu's big hand, and smiled, "Thank you, Director, for being invited, it's a great honor. By the way, Director, this is Xue Wan, a colleague of our field trip group, and she is also here to attend the wedding." As he said that, his hand was slender and pointed at Xiaowan with a slanted point.
Director Liu looked over with a smile. In a trance, he felt a water lotus rise on the ground. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the red bowl in front of the water lotus. In an instant, his smile was gone, and a wrinkled five-yuan RMB was lying in the bowl. In an instant, Director Liu's face was so hot that he threw himself in, and he said, "Comrades, eat well, drink well." He turned his head and left with a blue face.
Xu Li almost buried her head under the table. When Xiaowan took out five dollars, she wanted to put a few dollars on Xiaowan.
She only brought more than thirty pieces of money and put them all into the red bowl. It was hard to take out ten pieces of money from the bowl and put them back into Xiaowan's bowl.
Now, the table is thirty yuan, and Xiaowan is only five yuan. This extremely ugly appearance made the owner look at it. How embarrassed.
The happy money was quickly taken away by Mr. Zhike. The table was full of eyes and muttered constantly. The next table even pointed at it, and it seemed that I had heard about the latest news about this table.
Xu Li was so poked that she didn't dare to look up, but Xiaowan was calm and sat steadily, with a calm look, as if she was poked at her.
To put it in, Xiaowan put five yuan in it, not pretending to be a maverick, but doing his best to do his best.
Since she went to college, she no longer asked for pocket money that Xue Xiang gave. She relied on work-study and the occasional royalties she received to cope with daily expenses.
She has been working for a short time and has never received a salary. She has recently rented a house and has tightened her hands. The five yuan is the largest face value in her pocket. Even so, it will only cost more than twenty yuan together.
When she invested the five yuan, she even made up her mind to make a small account, and she had to spend all her salary. She couldn't say that she would have to eat at the cafeteria every meal in the future and would have to go home for food on weekends.
Five yuan is not much, but she did her best. Whether the master likes it or not, or whether others are satisfied, she doesn't care. She is home to peace of mind.
Liu Yin and Xia Bing were laughing from ear to ear. The two of them whispered and asked to change positions, just to see Xiaowan make a fool of themselves.
Now, Xiaowan's "ugly" is released as scheduled, and they are very proud. If they hadn't been concerned about the occasion, they would have been sarcastic.
After taking away the wedding money, the bride and groom held a brief wedding ceremony, and the banquet finally started.
Xiao Wanyuan thought about Liu Yin, and Xia Bing was about to be annoying again. However, they thought that within two minutes of the banquet, the two of them left the table with their glasses and looked at them. Many seats were no longer reunited. It turned out that many people had already started to hold glasses and toast everywhere.
For most people in the venue, the most fundamental thing is to eat noodles or drink wedding banquets.
Xiaowan didn't care about this. Her stomach was already hungry and she had already swallowed the whole table of dishes many times.
Seeing that most of the people on the table were dispersed, she was trying to insert her chopsticks around. At that moment, her hands attacked everywhere, her mouth clattered and she was filled with oil. Xu Li, who was beside her, staring at her, almost pulling her ear to scold her "heartless".
