412. Chapter 412 The Troublesome in the 1970s (44)
When the wedding banquet started, Xu Yin finally understood the meaning of her father's words, "Everyone is like this."
Hearing the shout of "Serve the food", everyone who was gathered around to see the bride and groom rushed back to their seats.
As soon as the food was served, everyone started to fight with chopsticks - everyone put food into their own bowls.
Those who move quickly can pick up a lot of chopsticks, and those who have more can be put into the empty bowl they brought. It means eating and saving a mouthful.
"..."
Such a scene... it was really the first time she had seen it.
"Second sister! What are you doing so stupidly? Sit down and eat!"
Xu Lan quickly grabbed a meatball, put it in Xu Yin's bowl, urged her, and then rushed to the table again to grab the second wave.
The first dish, head soup, was snatched away by a whole table of people in less than a minute.
Zou Caifen's nephew picked up the soup base and drank it in two big gulps.
Just after this wave ended, the second hot dish - braised whole duck came.
Xu Lan saw the person serving the food coming from a distance, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and got ready to go.
"Second sister, I'll pick up the dishes later, and you can take the bowl as close to my chopsticks as possible. If it's further away, it's a waste of time."
"..."
Can she say no?
Brain pain.
After helping Xu Lan grab a few dishes, Xu Yin felt even more tired than farming.
She turned around and glanced at Xu Chengjin, who was sitting at the same table as her father.
Seeing that her father kept getting up and sitting down, Xu Chengjin actually helped her father pass the bowl and take the food, which made her... toothache.
By the way, when did her parents and little sister bring baskets and bowls? She was chatting with her eldest sister on the way and didn't even notice...
Just as the chaotic wedding banquet was over, Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she no longer had to be her little sister's food grabber.
Xu Yuanyuan took advantage of the opportunity for her newlywed husband and uncle to talk, and came to the two sisters Xu Yin.
She glanced at the basket Xu Lan was holding in her arms. There were several bowls of meat and vegetables in the basket, and she felt very unhappy:
On the one hand, she feels bad for the meat she bought with her own money. In order to support the occasion, her parents raised money from employees to exchange tickets to buy chicken, duck, pork and fish some time ago. These people have not eaten enough and have to take it home?
Second, their behavior made them embarrassed in front of men. Guo Zhijun was not sure why he looked down on his poor relatives!
"Yin Yin, Lan Lan is ignorant. You are already a big girl, why are you following her to grab food? What does it look like!" Xu Yuanyuan glared at Xu Yin displeased.
Xu Yin: "..."
Do you believe that I actually don’t want to steal it?
"You are getting married next month. Think about it, these guys are fighting for food in front of your man, as if they have never eaten meat in their lives. Do you feel good?"
"It's okay, I don't mind." Xu Chengjin walked over.
His foot injury is almost healed, and he threw away his crutch when he went out today, walking calmly and firmly.
He came to Xu Yin and picked up the sophora flowers that had fallen from her hair. He looked at her and smiled, then looked at Xu Yuanyuan: "These days, it's not easy for everyone to have a meal of meat and vegetables. Let's eat at the wedding banquet."
A meal and happiness are the most important thing, right?"
Xu Yuanyuan: "..."
Left angrily.
Xu Yin nudged Xu Chengjin with her elbow: "You are causing trouble for the bride."
"It's because she's not big-minded enough."
"..."
You are right about everything!
Xu Yin glanced at him angrily: "By the way, do you really not mind if we fight like this on our wedding day?"
Xu Chengjin thought about it carefully: "How about we not serve the food first? After the procedure is completed, we can have a good meal for everyone?"
"..."
"Yin girl."
After finishing the wedding banquet, the secretary of the brigade remembered that there was another happy thing that he had not said, and waved cheerfully to Xu Yin through the crowd.
"Look at me! As soon as I arrived, I was dragged into drinking by everyone, and I almost forgot about this important matter. Your speech that day was submitted to the newspaper! Well, I also brought the newspaper."
"What report? Secretary, what are you talking about?" When the people around heard what the secretary said, they all gathered around curiously.
The secretary excitedly recounted Xu Yin's performance on the day of the model worker commendation meeting, and finally said to Xu Yin:
"The leaders of the commune are very happy. They said that you have allowed the working people across the country to see the spirit of our Red Flag Commune in the newspaper, and they want to reward you. The newspaper will give you the same amount of royalties for adopting your speech, and the commune will also pay you."
"Wow! And there are royalties? Xu Laosan, your daughter has made money!"
"How much is the royalties? Is it enough to buy a pound of meat?"
The secretary smiled and said: "I didn't know it at first. Only people in the commune know that the manuscript fee is based on the number of words, one thousand words and two dollars. Yin Yatou's speech has a total of five thousand words, and the manuscript fee can be six
RMB. Including the reward from the commune, Yin Yatou can receive twelve RMB."
"Wow——"
When they heard it was twelve yuan, everyone was shocked, it was half a month's salary of the workers!
After being surprised, they all cast envious looks at Xu Laosan: Lazy people are blessed with laziness!
Look at how lazy the third child is, but the daughter he gave birth to is capable and promising, and the son-in-law he hired is rich and good-looking. The third child's family will be great in the future!
Xu Chengjin took the newspaper brought by the secretary and carefully read the speech published in the supplement. He couldn't help but think of the way she talked non-stop on the stage on the day of the commendation meeting, with smiles on her face.
He closed the newspaper and said to Xu Yin: "I want to keep this newspaper and post it on the wall of my new home in the future. This is the first honor for our little family."
Xu Yin covered her face: "Please say goodbye!"
Xu Laosan, who was bragging to his relatives, heard about this and patted his thigh with joy:
"Look! I just said that my daughter is going to be successful. She really has nothing to do with her son! Look! This is all reported! And the royalties! A total of twelve yuan! Oh my! My daughter is really promising! She was not the only one who gave a speech on the stage that day.
One, just ask who has such an honor as her? Hahahaha!"
Relatives and friends: “…”
Lemon is just too lemony to resist.
Their son is really not as good as Xu Yin.
I can’t understand how lazy guy like Xu Laosan could be so lucky!
Xu Yuanyuan was in the room at this time, listening to Zou Caifen talking about the gifts given by her relatives and friends. She was not sure whether the money given by relatives and friends was enough to host these banquets. She heard the secretary's loud voice coming from the yard, stamping his feet irritably:
"Mom, look! It's obviously my wedding, but this girl steals the spotlight!"
Zou Caifen also felt that the daughter of the third family seemed to have changed.
"Where did she get the literary talent to write the speech? Did she even publish it in newspapers to earn royalties? If it wasn't written by her partner, let her just follow what she memorized, right?"
Zou Caifen can think of it, but others can't think of it?
Isn't this why someone is asking: "Lao San, is it your son-in-law who wrote the manuscript and asked your daughter to read it?"
Before Xu Laosan could speak, the secretary retorted: "That's not the case! At the time of the commendation meeting, I don't know where Laosan's son-in-law was! And I didn't say in advance that I was going to give a speech on stage. It was all up to Xu Yin herself.
You can’t do this falsely.”
After listening to the secretary's words with open ears, Zou Caifen pouted: "You're lucky if you step on dog shit!"
