Hearing what the third aunt said, Yan Jiecheng was helpless. The old couple were old and couldn't eat much. They usually had a pretty good diet of one meat and one vegetable.
Not to mention the stingy Yanbu noble couple who are reluctant to cook more and cause waste. Now Yan Jiecheng also feels that wasting food is a shameful thing no matter what era he is in. He will not and will not support the old couple's waste.
Good days only last a few days, so the thought of wasting them is unacceptable.
If Yan Bugui is not ranked, we should also look at the top three and see what they are like. They cannot be compared, and they cannot be compared.
If you don’t have face, then you have no face. Yan Bugui has always been a marginal figure among the three uncles. It is normal for him to be suppressed by the first and second elders. It will not affect Yan Bugui’s status. The neighbors are also used to it, so no one will be surprised.
, this cannot be called news.
"Now because Bangge has brought the ingredients back, Shazhu's family cooks and eats in the courtyard every day. The smell is so great that it makes the children next door greedy and cry. As a result, the food in the courtyard keeps going up."
This is to blame for the Jia family's lack of morals. The children next door are crying because of greed, so why can't they treat the children next door to a meal?
Not to mention that Bangge grew up eating a lot of food from hundreds of families. This was all done by Banggeng himself, and the Jia family may not be grateful. But the several donations made by Siheyuan to the Jia family are definitely not fake. The neighbors of Siheyuan are more or less
I have helped the Jia family, but I can't bear to make my child cry. The Jia family has the most houses in the courtyard, so I can't eat in my own home?
Of course, Yan Jiecheng just listened to the excitement. The old couple in Yanbu lived a pretty good life. Yan Jiecheng did not have the energy to change the other families in the courtyard, nor did he want to change.
…
Time came to 1983 in a blink of an eye. Yan Xiaoluo did not disappoint Yan Jiecheng and was successfully admitted to the Central Institute of Finance and Economics. At Yan Jiecheng's strong request, he chose to major in business administration.
With Yan Jiecheng's strong support, every poetry draft he wrote was submitted to various magazines. For three or four years, no one was successfully published, which successfully dispelled the literary young man Yan Xiaoluo's dream of being a poet.
Yan Xiaoluo was admitted to university, and Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were naturally very happy, but Yan Bugui was the happiest person in the Yan family.
The second generation of the Yan family, which prides itself on being a scholarly family, all have decent academic qualifications. Except for Yan Jiefang, no one has graduated from high school, but none of them has gone to college. They are still somewhat unworthy of the poetry and books that Yan Bugui talks about.
Home, the slogan of a scholarly family.
Now that Lao Yan's eldest son and grandson have successfully entered college, Yan Bugui felt very proud. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and decided to hold a banquet in the courtyard and invite the neighbors in the courtyard to have a banquet together.
Yan Bugui's determination can be said to be considerable. According to common sense, holding a college entrance banquet will not result in a loss of money, but if it is held in a courtyard, Yan Bugui still has to be mentally prepared to lose money.
"Dad, there is no need to hold a college entrance banquet in the courtyard. Xiao Luo is not a child in the courtyard. With Xiao Luo, we have been living outside." Yan Jiecheng thought that the college entrance banquet could be held and relatives and friends could be invited.
Just hold it in a hotel. There is no need to invite people like these from the courtyard. What are the superficial neighbors that you don’t know well enough to invite?
"Yan Jiecheng, you are still not my son, and I am still your father. Xiao Luo is the first college student of the old Yan family, and it is related to the face of the old Yan family. This college entrance banquet must be held. You don't have to worry about anything.
This time I will pay for it myself." Yan Bugui said, patting the table.
Yan Jiecheng saw that Yan Bugui even said that he would pay for it himself. It can be seen that Yan Bugui has eaten the weight this time and is determined to do it.
It was not a matter of principle, so Yan Jiecheng did not confront Yan Bugui.
But this time Yan Bugui said he would spend the money, and Yan Jiecheng arranged for the chef to come over, and he really didn't care about spending money.
Let Yan Bugui bleed once, so that Yan Bugui won't have to wait for Yan Xiaohe and Yan Xiaoqi to do it again.
Yan Jiecheng's family has opened ten restaurants, which can be said to be basically saturated in the capital. No matter where you are in the capital, it is not far from Yan Jiecheng's family restaurant to eat. A mid-range restaurant is enough. Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's plan is for the future
The focus is on high-end hotels.
The most indispensable thing at home is a cook. Most of the neighbors in the courtyard have old arms and legs. It is better to go to a restaurant to eat together in the courtyard. It is more convenient to eat in the courtyard.
Although there are more than 20 families living in the courtyard at its peak, most of the young people who are doing well now have moved out of the courtyard. Because the courtyard is all temporary construction, there is no longer as much space as before. Yanbu
Gui finally decided to set up eight tables.
Houses with few people, such as Yi Zhonghai, have one household. Of course, there are also houses with many people. The Jia family has six people, and the second uncle's family has seven or eight people in total, including adults and children. These can be said to be special cases.
Most of the Jia family is unable to marry because their daughter has reached old age. What can be done about this?
The second uncle has a large family because his father is rich. Guangfu and his family come to show filial piety and cannot be driven away.
Yan Bugui spent money to host a college entrance banquet, and naturally the entire Yan family attended. Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi all showed up as a family.
In recent years, because the old couple has been able to live a normal life with Yan Bu's expensive retirement salary, they do not need their children to spend money to take care of them. The children of Lao Yan's family behave quite normally, and people can still come to see the old couple during the holidays. On the surface,
It looks quite harmonious.
Naturally, Yan Bugui was the one to organize the college entrance banquet organized by Yan Bugui. The center of the topic could be said to be Yan Xiaoluo, but the protagonist was still Yan Bugui, and Yan Jiecheng was the only one who came to eat.
"The third uncle is worthy of being an educated man and knows how to educate children. Not only the third uncle's grandchildren have been admitted to college."
"The third uncle himself is a people's teacher. The Lao Yan family has always been a scholarly family. The first native-born college student in our courtyard came from the Lao Yan family."
"Old Yan, now that your grandson has been admitted to college, you can just wait and enjoy the blessings from now on!"
After all, it was the third uncle who was the host and provided the banquet. There were not many opportunities like this. The third uncle spent the money, and the neighbors were very considerate of him. He said a lot of things that Yanbu Gui wanted to hear, which made the old couple happy to spend money.
All are missing half.
The Lao Yan family didn't have many opportunities to shine in the courtyard. What they did have was that their children's academic performance was okay, but they couldn't be considered successful if they didn't go to college.
Now that Yan Xiaoluo is admitted to university, Yan Bugui finally shines in the limelight and shows Yan Bugui's presence as the third uncle.
Although with the changes of the times, the three uncles in the courtyard have long been inactive and exist in name only. The older generation only cares about the three uncles, the middle-aged generation only has Sha Zhu and Xu Damao who want to inherit, and the younger generation is even more concerned about it.
