Chapter 047
July 8, the 22nd day of the fifth lunar month, is the day when the Zhang family holds an engagement banquet for Zhang Hongliang and Liu Xinyu.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the production team finished work early.
The members washed off the sweat, brought congratulatory gifts, and brought their children with them to Zhang's house one after another.
The Zhang family immediately became lively.
Although the Zhang family today cannot be said to be decorated with lanterns and festoons, they are still full of joy.
Under the supervision of Chen Zhaodi, Liu Xinyu changed into more festive clothes and followed the Liu family to Zhang's house.
It was her first time to attend such a banquet, so of course she was very curious, but today she was one of the parties involved, so she could only suppress her curiosity and sit quietly next to Chen Zhaodi.
In fact, the engagement banquet in the countryside does not have so many cumbersome procedures. It is nothing more than treating the villagers to a good meal and making everyone happy.
In order to show their importance to this marriage, the Zhang family put a lot of thought into the dishes served on the table.
Liu Xinyu heard everything from the talkative Zhang Hongyun yesterday.
The Liu family also sent more than ten kilograms of eels to the Zhang family yesterday afternoon, and of course all of them were served on the table.
It’s rare for country people to have such a big and fat banquet. Almost every dish is quickly wiped out when it arrives on the table. For a while, there is only the sound of clinking cups, plates, chopsticks, and occasionally children eagerly asking for chicken or meat.
the sound of.
After a few big dishes, the sound gradually started to appear.
"The Zhang family really took advantage of their old money today."
"This table of dishes costs at least ten yuan."
"Ten yuan? That's not enough! There is chicken, meat, and fish. Each table has such a real plate of eels. It must be more than ten yuan per table!"
"The eel shouldn't have cost any money. The eel is a special dish provided by the Liu family!"
"The eels belong to the Liu family? Apart from Qingshan, who can catch eels, I haven't heard that anyone else in the Liu family can also catch eels."
"Qingshan is gone, but Xinyu is still there."
"Xinyu? She can catch eels, it's impossible!"
"Otherwise, where did the Liu family's extra dish come from?"
"Xinyu is Qingshan's only child and was raised by Qingshan. Don't you think about it, can Xinyu know nothing?"
"That's true. I heard that the dress Hong Yun is wearing today was made for her by Xin Yu."
"Really, I thought it was made by a tailor in the county town!"
"Look at the collar and sleeves of the dress. I have never seen them before. They are so novel and beautiful."
"I really want a shirt like this."
"How about asking Xin Yu someday if he can make one for us too."
…
Although some tables were far away from Liu Xinyu, and adults were shouting at children, Liu Xinyu couldn't hear everyone clearly, but she could still hear some words.
Liu Xinyu was speechless.
This building is crooked!
He was obviously talking about the Zhang family and the dishes on the table, but in the end the conversation fell entirely on her, and his eyes gradually focused on her head.
Liu Xinyu had never seen anything like this before. Although she felt a little embarrassed and her face showed a hint of shyness in response to the situation, she also looked much more generous than usual.
When someone asks me, I affirm when I should, shake my head when I should, in short, smile when I should, and eat when I should, which actually makes people change their outlook a lot.
I thought that today's engagement banquet would end in a cheerful atmosphere. It was getting dark, and some of the younger children had already stood up and were about to say goodbye. Just then, there was a loud noise outside.
Zhang Hongliang stood up quickly and went to check the situation outside the hospital. Soon, he heard a surprised but enthusiastic greeting: "Director Wang, why are you here? Come in, please come in! Dad, this is from the security office of our factory.
Director Wang."
Following the sound, Zhang Hongliang led several people into the courtyard.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, and his expression was extremely serious at the moment.
There were two men in their thirties accompanying him, with equally serious expressions.
Liu Xinyu's brows couldn't help but frown slightly, and a voice came through her heart: The person who came here is evil!
Suddenly a distinguished guest from the city came, and his expression was not friendly. Zhang Daniu was a little flustered: "It's rare to see a visitor, please take a seat. Please take a seat."
Looking back, I became even more panicked, wondering where to sit.
At this moment, every table, whether inside or outside the hospital, was in a mess.
"Quick, baby's mother, Hongxia, clean up quickly."
"Oh, right now."
There was a crash of cups and plates, followed by the shattering sound of dishes falling to the floor. Wu Qiaozhen and Zhang Hongxia, who had obviously never seen the world, suddenly made a mistake.
At this time, Chen Zhaodi stood up and took Wang Sanmei over to help.
Originally, she could have continued to sit in the office and watch, but considering that today was still a matter for the Zhang and Liu families.
Besides, she couldn't just watch the Zhang family lose face to Zhang Hongliang.
These three comrades in the city are Zhang Hongliang’s colleagues and leaders!
Liu Xinyu could only sigh in her heart.
Director of the Security Department!
We can be very sure that these people rushed to the Minqin Brigade at this time, and it was definitely because of Ma Li's unwillingness to cause trouble!
I just don’t know how big this moth is and what kind of impact it will have on Zhang Hongliang.
It’s useless to think about it any more, just wait for the follow-up.
"Hong Liang is getting engaged today? Then we are really lucky!" After the table was cleared, Director Wang was invited to sit down at the head of the table. After scanning the brightly lit courtyard, he spoke with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, Hong Liang is getting engaged today. Hong Liang will bring Xin Yu over quickly, and let's toast the leaders together." Zhang Daniu saw that Director Wang's visitor was unkind, and he felt panicked, but he managed to cheer up and socialize.
At this time, Liu Xinyu had already walked over openly.
Regardless of whether the two of them become a family in the end, today is their engagement day, and she must stand with Zhang Hongliang.
At this time, the discerning villagers had already noticed that Director Wang and his entourage were coming with bad intentions. Except for the cadres of the brigade and the production team, everyone pulled me and I pulled you slowly out of the yard.
Some people who didn't like to watch the excitement took their families home.
Those who had not left gathered in groups outside the yard and listened to what was going on in the yard.
Director Wang heard from Ma Li that Zhang Hongliang was engaged to a country girl, but he didn't expect that Liu Xinyu was better dressed and more elegant than Ma Li and more like a city girl. He couldn't help but be stunned.
In addition to being the director of the factory security department, Director Wang is also Uncle Ma Li's best friend.
He was able to become the director of the factory security department because of this relationship.
He had watched Ma Li grow up since childhood. When he heard that Ma Li was bullied by Zhang Hongliang, his first thought was not to let Zhang Hongliang go.
Ma Li's father is the factory director and her uncle is the deputy director of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee. They are not very good at supporting Ma Li.
The important task of supporting Ma Li fell on him, the director of the Security Department.
If you dare to bully Ma Li, see how I deal with you!
Director Wang glared at Zhang Hongliang fiercely.
Chapter completed!
