Chapter 397 Wedding Gift

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Li Xiaoyan was jealous of Zhou Tianming. Granny Li recovered from the shock and felt regretful again. How could she be so confused!

If they had not offended the girls from the Le family, Xiaoyan would have had the opportunity to show her face when the officials came to the Le family today to pay New Year greetings.

Xiaoyan can eat and drink in the Lejia like the grandson of the Zhou family. The boss knows that Xiaoyan is a relative of the girl from the Lejia, so he changes her name to Xiaoyan.

A great opportunity was right in front of us, but it was ruined because of a temporary failure.

Grandma Li felt uncomfortable watching everyone in the Zhou family chatting and laughing, and she had to pretend to smile.

Zhou Tianming ran to his uncle's house and went straight to the kitchen in the south building. He saw the handsome guys and his uncle preparing pots, bowls, chopsticks, spoons and cups, and he silently helped.

After preparing everything needed in the south building, Dad Le took the handsome guys and Zhou Tianming to the north building to move wine from the living room on the second floor, placing two boxes of wine on each table.

The host had served drinks in advance, and Director Zhang and others knew that dinner would be served soon, so they all had a sharp eye and cleared the table at which they were sitting.

Zhou Qiufeng put away the fruit plate, gave bowls and chopsticks to each table, and then placed a bottom plate filled with hot water on each table.

The living room always uses a round table, but the kitchen adapts to local conditions. In the way of eating hot pot, pour water on the bottom of the pot, put the stand, and then put the dishes and bowls.

Dad Le and the handsome guys moved the wine to the south building. The guests had already neatly cleared the table, and they only needed to distribute the wine to the table one by one.

It wasn't until Le's father served drinks that Mr. Yi calmly went up to the third floor and called his little disciple and his little cousin out of class. He was very happy to see his little disciple studying hard without supervision, and hugged his little disciple.

Son, appeared in front of a group of monks with a proud look on his face.

Mr. Yi did not let Chen Fengnian go anywhere else. He asked the young man to sit on the second floor to keep his young disciple company. Of course, he also hugged the black-backed wolfdog.

The elders of the Tang family and the Xuan family silently looked at Mr. Yi's baby and his young disciple, and the thought of putting a sack on them flashed through their minds thousands of times.

Roca officially served the dishes at nearly twelve o'clock, and there were five bowls in the first round.

The guests happily ate and drank red wine.

There are four dishes in the second round, which make nine together, and there are four medicinal dishes.

In rural areas, during the first month of the year, people usually eat six main dishes when visiting each other. In recent years, no matter who goes to Lejia, there are eight or nine dishes, which is a high-class banquet.

The banquet at Lejia's New Year's Eve is very high-end, especially if you drink red wine, which makes it even more classy.

The villagers who visited the Lejia were particularly proud when they thought that they and the official leaders were eating at the same level of banquet. Because the Lejia was too busy, they did not sit more after the banquet, or brought their families with them, or formed groups in twos and threes.

And return.

The guests in the south building ate quickly and finished their meal in less than forty minutes, and then went back to their homes. The tables in the north building ate more slowly and took an hour to finish before leaving.

Zhou Tianming works as a guest in the North Building and is responsible for pouring wine for the leaders at the same table.

The girl from the Le family had introduced the young man, and the leaders also knew that the young man was the direct cousin of the little boy from the Le family. Their attitude toward him was similar to that of Village Chief Zhou, and they were all very polite.

After the banquet was over, the tables were changed again, and there were after-dinner fruits.

The leaders wanted to have a chat with Ms. Le, but her home was undergoing construction, and they were too embarrassed to waste her time and gave up the space to Jiudao Central School.

In addition to expressing their gratitude, the leadership team of Jiudao Central School and Junior High School would also like to invite the primary school students to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the teaching building and library.

The library and new teaching building of the junior high school have entered the final stage of work - various equipment, library bookshelves, books, teaching materials needed for the school, shelves for teaching materials, etc. are being delivered in batches

To.

The computer, monitoring and other equipment used for teaching were handed over to Brother Li’s mother by Le Xiao’s classmate, and Ms. Luo Zhuxiang and her company team were responsible for the entire process.

Years ago, Ms. Luo personally went to Jiudao Junior High School with her subordinates in charge of school work and a batch of computer equipment. At that time, she was too busy with work and could not spare time, so she did not visit Lejia.

During the Spring Festival holiday, all school work will be temporarily put on hold. After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, computer installation and other work will restart again.

The leadership team of the junior high school communicated with the suppliers many times to confirm that all the work can be completed by the end of April and the school can be officially opened in May.

The school has also initially planned to schedule the ribbon-cutting ceremony during the May Day holiday. If Le is able to attend the ribbon-cutting, based on her schedule, the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be arranged on which day she is free.

The leadership team of the Central School tried their best to persuade Le students to go to the school to cut the ribbon in person, and even promoted Principal Yin to be the lobbyist.

No matter how hard they try, Le Xiao's classmate remains unmoved and always refuses. She doesn't like to engage in frivolous formalities, and the same goes for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The school's ribbon-cutting ceremony is necessary. After all, it is also a publicity opportunity to make more people really care about education, so that students can also feel the sense of ceremony and have a greater sense of direction and responsibility.

It's just that she doesn't like to participate in public events that attract much attention.

If you don’t like it, you just don’t like it. Mr. Le doesn’t want to be wronged by being the “big boss” being watched, so he thanks the invitation without hesitation.

The school was enthusiastic and persistent, which gave her a headache. Finally, she took a step back and agreed to let Grandpa Zhou Man attend the ribbon-cutting instead of her.

As for her father and Aunt Feng, forget it. It’s better not to let her parents participate in that kind of entertainment. If her father and Aunt Feng go to the school to cut the ribbon this time, for example, if there are any official activities in the future, I want to borrow her name.

With traffic on her head, it’s hard to refuse when her father, Aunt Feng, is invited to cut the ribbon.

Grandpa Zhou Man is different. He is the village chief and an elder. It doesn't matter if he is a spokesperson for once. Even if someone wants to establish a relationship with him in the future, he will have enough reasons to refuse.

Village Chief Zhou was confused and asked him to be the spokesman to cut the ribbon?

Thinking about that scene, his legs were a little weak.

However, seeing the expression of trust and dependence on Xiao Lele's face, Village Chief Zhou couldn't say no. Well, Xiao Lele believed him, so he would just take advantage of it once.

Classmate Le was unwilling to cut the ribbon, so he found a spokesperson, which gave the school leaders some comfort.

Little Loli was talking to the leaders, and Lao Yi and others had already started work, and soon after, the merchants who delivered steel bars also delivered goods to their door.

Mr. Le had to supervise the quality of the project and inspect the steel bars. Even though Mr. Chen and Bureau Zhang and others had a thousand words to say, they did not say any more and said goodbye in a sensible manner.

The Le family couple brought their little cotton-padded jackets to see off their guests.

Of course, when they saw off guests, they took them to the village road next to the building, and then watched as Village Chief Zhou sent the leaders to the village office building.

The young and middle-aged people of the Zhou family had lunch at Zhou Xialong's house and stayed for a while. Some of them had something to do and went home. Others had nothing to do and sat around at Zhou Xialong's house. When they heard that the Le's family was starting work, they went to the Le's to help.

Brother Zhou and Lao Meng had made a plan years ago. On the seventh day of the lunar month, he would send Granny Li back to the village and he would go to work on the eighth day of the lunar month. On the eighth day of the lunar month, Lao Meng would send Li Xiaoyan to school. He had to clean up the house in the afternoon and did not go to Lejia.

Li Xiaoyan thought that the Le family had a group of leaders, and she wanted to follow the Zhou family elders there, but she was afraid of being embarrassed by the Le family girls on the spot, so she watched the Zhou family elders go to the Le family house in groups.

She went to the third floor and paid attention secretly. When the leaders left, she ran to the roof of the building, dressed like a cat, and watched secretly.

From a high position, you can clearly see the situation on the village road and hear the voices clearly.

She saw Zhou Tianming standing next to Miss Lejia, seeing off guests together.

The group of people said goodbye to Miss Le politely, with a particularly humble tone, and a hint of respect and flattery in their words.

Li Xiaoyan was particularly warm when she heard the group of people shaking hands with Zhou Tianming and saying goodbye. She said a series of good words, such as the Zhou family Qilin, a promising young man, a top student in a prestigious school, and a bright future.

Listening to the leaders repeatedly asking the Le family to stay and say goodbye, they walked a few meters away and then turned back to ask the host to stay, not to mention how polite and respectful they were to the Le family girl.

The farewell scene on the village road was so reluctant, and how polite the leaders were to the Lejia girl, Li Xiaoyan was so jealous.

She bit her lip, unwilling to do so.

The group of people gradually drifted away, and no more words were heard. The Le family went back, and their faces were blown cold by the cold wind. Li Xiaoyan, who was hiding behind the fence, stood up and walked back to the three houses quietly.

Floor, sitting in the room silently in a daze.

Village Chief Zhou sent the leaders to the village office building. When he saw the convoy filing out, he returned to Lejia to help with light work such as mixing the slurry and adding ingredients.

A tall building starts from the foundation. The foundation is very important. The pillars of the warehouse bear all the weight of the warehouse. Yi Lao and others regard pouring the load-bearing pillars as a top priority. They hammer the soil very carefully and the speed is naturally a little slower.

.

It took another half of the afternoon to pour the load-bearing columns to the predetermined height.

Because the mud has a moderate density and is pounded very compactly, the steel frame for the floor can be laid when it is poured to a predetermined height.

A group of monks took office again, laying steel bars, supporting formwork, and erecting scaffolding.

The little Loli acted as the commander-in-chief and tied the steel structure by herself. She was busy until dark when the steel structure was completed, except that the scaffolding was not all set up.

In the evening, except for the Zhou family and Liu Lu and Zhang Poluo who helped, there were no guests. In order to repay the "workers", Le Xiao's classmate prepared a full medicinal meal banquet to entertain everyone who helped.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, some young and middle-aged people in the Zhou family had to go out to work, and only a dozen people came to Lejia to help with the work. Village chief Zhou and Zhou Papi's son were scheduled to leave home on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so they were naturally not absent.

The brothers of the Cheng family, Chen Dalian, finally took away the few relatives who were supposed to leave, and took the initiative to go to the Le family. Zhou Tianming also reported to his uncle's house early.

Everyone first set up the scaffolding, and then officially poured the warehouse floor.

The steel mesh on the floor is dense and difficult to pound, so it can only be poured using a cement paddle. The mud must be the same density as the cement slurry used to pour the building.

Of course, it still needs to be pounded hard. First, fill the entire steel frame with mud on the floor. Level it and make sure there are no hollows. Then pour a layer of harder mud, and then use a roller to roll it around on the surface.

Rolling.

After rolling the floor surface round and round in the same way as using a road roller to build a road surface, roll it dozens of times and then pour a layer of mud.
