Xu Li tilted her head and whispered, "Night owls come into the house for whatever reason, so you have to be more vigilant.~≥Top~≥Point~≥Little~≥Say,"
Xiao Wan smiled and said, "Classmate Xiao Xu, the sky will not fall."
Xu Li rolled her eyes at her, squinted her peripheral vision, and said with a smile, "Finally the food is about to be served, but my aunt is starving to death."
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Li finished speaking, a waiter came forward to clean up the fruit pots and dander, and reorganized the countertop. Soon, teams of waiters came forward to deliver the dishes. In the blink of an eye, a table full of eight people was placed. It is cold and hot, one pot and one soup. Although it does not contain delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is mostly oily and meaty. It is cooked well, carved with dragons and phoenixes, and looks very good. In this era, it is undoubtedly considered to be a top-quality banquet noodle.
Staring intently at the table full of dinner, Xu Li quietly bumped into Xiao Wan and said, "Director Liu is spending a lot of money. He probably even moved the coffin book, and the accountant is nowhere to be seen. It seems he really doesn't want people to follow the courtesy, okay. Big courage.”
Liu Yin and Xia Bing listened, looked at each other and smiled, almost covering their mouths.
The dishes were delicious, and there was a large mahogany bowl in front of each person. In the bowl was a piece of red silk, spread out loosely. In the red silk was a piece of wedding cake the size of a wine cup, plus two wedding candies.
I was just about to start eating, but suddenly there were so many things. I didn't know if they were for eating or for soup. The wedding cakes and candies in the bowls were there, and I didn't know if they were for the guests to eat or to carry them in their pockets.
When the whole house was wondering, Liu Yin suddenly took out a golden melon seed from her purse, grabbed the wedding cake and candy wrapped in red silk, put the golden melon seed into the wooden bowl, and laughed loudly, "Liu The director is from Jingkou, Jianghan. As far as I know, the custom there is that during a wedding banquet, the congratulators have to take red cakes and candies in red silk. Luck, this is a wedding gift, which is to bring wealth and blessings to the bride and groom according to your own wishes. Xia Bing, I prepared this small melon seed early. If you are not prepared, you can just send the wedding gold."
Her words seemed to have been well prepared, and she spat it out in a loud, clear voice, clearly like an announcer, and everyone in the house could hear it.
Xia Bing was even more obedient. She laughed playfully and took out five big unity cards. She put them in the red bowl and said, "It has been prepared for a long time. I wish the bride and groom good luck and a son soon."
With the guidance of her two people, everyone in the house knew how to express themselves no matter how dull they were. Many people even secretly praised Director Liu for his shrewdness. He made it clear that he would not accept any courtesy, but he used the name and customs of his hometown to express it openly and openly. I accepted the gift money. It was really brilliant.
Fortunately, everyone here knows that this meal is not easy to taste, so they are all prepared. You are twenty, I am thirty, and they all put it into the bowl.
It happened that Director Liu came in to greet the guests and heard what Liu Yin said. He was very excited and came quickly. When he saw the golden melon seeds in Liu Yin's bowl, the smile on his face could hardly contain it, "Xiao Liu, too Here we come. Welcome!" After saying that, he extended his hand to Liu Yin.
Liu Yin's pretentiousness was not just for this moment. No matter what Mr. Liu's status was, he was usually in the editorial department, so if he wanted to say a word to him, he would never be able to.
But this time, Director Liu actually took advantage of his busy schedule to come over in person to say hello. Why, isn't it obvious?
Liu Yin hurriedly stood up, took Director Liu's big hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Director. It's a great honor to be invited. By the way, Director, this is Xue Wan, a colleague of our interview team. She is also here to attend the wedding. ." As he said this, he pointed his slender hand towards Xiaowan.
Director Liu looked over with a smile. In a daze, he felt a water lotus rising from the ground. Suddenly, his eyes settled on the red bowl in front of the water lotus. In an instant, his smile faded. In the bowl lay a crumpled five-yuan note.
, in an instant, Director Liu's face was burning and he said, "Comrades, eat and drink well." With a livid face, he turned around and left.
Xu Li almost buried her head under the table. When Xiao Wan took out five yuan, she wished she could put a few more for Xiao Wan.
Unexpectedly, she only brought more than thirty yuan, and put all the integer into the red bowl. It was not easy to take out ten yuan from the bowl and put it back into Xiaowan's bowl.
This was great, the whole table was filled with prices starting from thirty yuan, and Xiaowan only had five yuan left. It happened that the host was so embarrassed when he saw this extremely ugly appearance.
The money was quickly taken away by Mr. Zhike. Everyone on the table looked at Xiao Wan and kept muttering. Some people at the next table pointed in this direction, obviously they had heard about what was going on at this table.
Xu Li was so poked that she didn't dare to raise her head, but Xiao Wan was calm and composed, sitting firmly with a calm look in her eyes, as if she was not the one being pointed at.
To put it bluntly, when Xiao Wan put down five yuan, she was not pretending to be independent, but acting within her capabilities and doing her best.
After entering college, she no longer asked for pocket money from Xue Xiang. She relied on work-study and occasional manuscript fees to meet her daily expenses.
She has only been working for a short time and has never received a salary. She has recently rented a house and her money is really tight. This five yuan is the largest value in her pocket. Even so, it is only more than 20 yuan when put together.
Yuan.
When she invested the five yuan, she even made a small calculation in her mind. She had to make it until her salary was paid. She said that she would have to eat in the cafeteria for every meal in the future and go home to eat on weekends.
Five yuan is not much, but she does her best. Whether her family likes it or not, whether others are satisfied or dissatisfied, she doesn't care. Her spiritual home is her hometown.
On the other side, Liu Yin and Xia Bing were smiling from ear to ear. They just whispered and asked to switch places just to see Xiao Wan make a fool of herself.
Now, Xiao Wan's "ugly appearance" was released as scheduled, and the two of them were so proud of it that if they hadn't been concerned about the occasion, they would have ridiculed it long ago.
After taking away the wedding money, the bride and groom held a brief wedding ceremony, and the banquet finally started.
Xiao Wan was thinking about Liu Yin and Xia Bing, who was definitely going to be annoying again. Who would have thought that within two minutes of the banquet starting, the two of them left the table with their wine glasses and looked around. Many seats were no longer reunited. It turned out that there were many seats.
People have already begun to hold wine glasses and toast everywhere.
For the vast majority of people present, they are here not just for dinner and wedding drinks, but most fundamentally for socializing and entertaining.
Xiaowan didn't care about this, her stomach was already growling with hunger, and she had swallowed countless times in front of the table full of food.
Seeing that most of the people at the table had dispersed, it was just in time for her to insert her chopsticks in all directions. At that moment, she moved her hands in all directions, her mouth was smacking, and her mouth was dripping with oil.
Heartless".
More than half an hour passed, Xiaowan finally filled her belly, and her chopsticks were no longer so fast. She occasionally pulled out a few French fries, bit them slowly, and drank jasmine tea quietly. (To be continued...
