Chapter 30 Banquet

It doesn’t matter if Cheng Guanli came to the detention center to warn Cheng Dehai or if it was a joke.

Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, he had forgiven his second uncle and came specifically to visit.

When I came out of the detention center, it was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, Cheng Guanli had money in his pocket and wanted to spend some.

Immediately stamp your feet and buy a bicycle!

The Central Station where he works is far from home. Although he has a monthly bus pass, the monthly pass is too precious, so he only bought one from Dongzhimen to the Central Station.

You have to pay to go to other places, and you are not as wealthy as others with monthly passes.

It’s too inconvenient to go somewhere nearby. I should have bought a bicycle a long time ago.

When he thought about buying a bicycle, he remembered the TV series "Zhengyangmen Down" that he watched before traveling through time.

The protagonist, Han Chunming, collected some bicycles from a nearby yard that were too worn to be ridden, bought parts and refurbished them himself, so that he could sell them to repair shops and ride them himself.

I have to say that screenwriter Mr. Wang is very familiar with life during this period.

Indeed, bicycle management is relatively loose now.

And after more than 20 years of wear and tear, there are indeed many bicycles that are so broken that they are scrapped. As long as you have some repair skills, you can make a small fortune.

But Cheng Guanli couldn't do this.

During that time, he needs to study some information, or go to a scrapyard or a glaze factory to see if he can pick up any leaks.

If Teacher Huang knew that he collected scrapped bicycles all over the alley without studying, then he would be sorry for the teacher's cultivation.

As for making some extra money, he would probably be able to spend it by writing some articles for magazines.

In the evening, Cheng Guanli rode a brand new Phoenix bicycle back to the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the gate, Aunt Lu in the front yard asked curiously: "Hey! Are you going to watch the ceremony and buy a bicycle?"

"Well, it's inconvenient to go anywhere nearby with a bicycle. Isn't that money? I bought one right away."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Aimei came back from outside with a bottle of soy sauce in her hand. She had gone to the grocery store to buy condiments.

Hearing what Cheng Guanli said, Liu Aimei felt her heart aching.

He said with a sneer: "To watch the ceremony, you have to save some money. Without your second uncle's help to save it, you will be too poor to open the pot until March next year."

"Hehe, thank you for your concern, Second Aunt. I won't go to that point. By the way, I went to tell Second Uncle that the knot between my father and I has been resolved. I want to treat him to a drink after we come out.

"

"This is a matter between you men, I am a woman and don't care." After saying this, Liu Aimei turned away angrily.

Cheng Guanli smiled slightly and pushed his bicycle back to the central courtyard.

Today he also bought new clothes for Donghu's three-year-old Xiaoxing, as well as two bottles of good wine in the backyard.

Sometimes it is easy to get a reputation of respecting the elderly and loving the young. As long as it is not against your will, you will be happy if you do it.

The more generous he was, the unhappy the Cheng family in the backyard became. They believed that the money was originally theirs and they had to give it to Cheng Guanli as a last resort.

Now that Cheng Guanli did this, it was as if he was deliberately trying to anger them.

…………

The next day was the day when superior leaders came to CCTV to watch the program.

Cheng Guanli came to the stage early to make preparations.

In the afternoon, the performance went very smoothly.

The superiors were very satisfied and gave high praise to the two actors Chen and Zhu and Cheng Guanli's script.

It is basically certain that sketches, a new type of stage play, will be vigorously promoted in the future.

There are still a few months until the Chinese New Year, and it has not yet been determined whether the Spring Festival Gala, which will be broadcast live nationwide, can be implemented.

However, CCTV’s internal staff Spring Festival Gala has already scheduled a skit program.

At that time, we may invite Lao Maoer and Chen Xiaoer to perform again.

Tomorrow the Wrangler crew will rush to the Northwest Ranch. After the performance, Cheng Guanli wants to invite Teacher Huang, Lao Maoer, Cong Shan and Chen Xiaoer to have a meal together at a restaurant in the evening.

Teacher Huang really can't go, he's too busy with work.

"Let's watch the ceremony next time. I'll invite you next time. Alas, I really can't get away."

Chen Xiaoer smiled and said: "Director Huang, next time we go to your house to eat."

"That's great, but you have to wait until after the new year, not before the new year. I don't even have time to entertain your dad when he comes before the new year, hahaha..."

After leaving the gate of Yangtai, Lao Maoer said: "Guanli, don't you know how to cook? How about we buy the food and go to your house?"

"Uh, at home? I've already chosen a place, let's go to the restaurant."

"Hey, what restaurant are you going to? You are not a wealthy person, and this is not the first time we have met. A family banquet is the most solemn entertainment. It doesn't need to be extravagant. It's a common meal. Let's just chat together."

Cong Shan also said: "Yes, call your friend Su Ying. It would be great to have a lively chat together. Which restaurant should we go to?"

Chen Xiaoer smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, go to your house, go to your house!"

Cheng Guanli knew that this was saving money for himself.

But having said that, it’s okay to eat at home. My cooking skills are not inferior to those in restaurants. Anyway, it’s still early, only four o’clock, so there’s still time.

"Okay, then go to my house, but first make sure you don't spend any money."

"Don't worry, can I help you go to the vegetable market to weigh things? Hahaha..."

Cheng Guanli ran to the nearby telephone hall and made a call to Su Ying in the production workshop of the machinery factory.

When Su Ying heard that the call was from Cheng Guanli, she was extremely happy.

"Watch the ceremony, okay. I heard from Sister Yuzhen that you locked the Xihu Liu family in the house?"

Cheng Guanli chuckled and said: "Who told Aunt Liu to talk nonsense all over the alley? This time I can defeat Cheng Dehai and his son and get their pension back. Thanks to your help, do you have time in the evening?"

"have!"

"You just said yes without asking why?"

"It's just a fight at most, hahaha."

"It's not a fight, I'm inviting you to dinner. My work has completed a stage. Three friends are going to my house today. Will you come?"

"If you invite me, of course I will go and wait."

When Cheng Guanli and the other two ordered the things they bought from the vegetable market and returned to the courtyard, Su Ying was already waiting at Xu Yuzhen's house.

Everyone in the courtyard looked at the three people brought by Cheng Guanli in surprise.

Many people recognized Chen Xiaoer.

"Eh? Isn't that the one who acts in a movie?"

"Yeah, I heard that Guan Li works at a TV station, and I thought it was just a lie, but it seems to be true!"

"Hey, then you have to have a good relationship with the audience. Will he also become a star in the future?"

"I think it's possible. It seems like the four girls of the Liu family don't want to climb high."

When the two of them saw Cheng Guanli bringing someone back, Xu Yuzhen and Su Ying hurriedly came out to greet them.

Cheng Guanli introduced both parties one by one.

Xu Yuzhen said in surprise: "Isn't this Hu Jiaqi who starred in Look at This Family? He's a big star!"

Chen Xiaoer laughed and said, "Hey! I'm not a celebrity, I just work in a cultural troupe."

Cheng Guanli smiled and said: "Brother Mao and Cong Shan will also be stars in the future. Let's go inside."

Aunt Liu from Xihu frowned and looked back at her fourth daughter Lianlian who was lying on the bed listening to the radio.

Originally, she wanted her daughter to go to Cheng Guanli's house to disrupt the situation, but when she saw the three people she brought back, Aunt Liu frightened first.

'Forget it, at least forget it for today. You can't afford to offend this celebrity. It's really a skill to watch the ceremony.'
