Sujiacun organized a banquet for Su Xiaoxiao this time. The banquet for students entering a higher education is also called a teacher appreciation banquet. This custom has been in existence since ancient times.
According to the level of the school where Su Xiaoxiao was specially recruited, in ancient times, Su Xiaoxiao was a well-deserved No. 1 scholar, so this teacher-appreciation banquet for entering higher education was a big one.
However, Sujia Village is located in a remote area, and teachers from Luochuan City cannot come, so the old village chief invited teachers from Su Xiaoxiao’s elementary school and junior high school, and the scene was very grand.
When rural people hold banquets, they talk about cards.
Sujia Village is also a famously wealthy village in its ten miles and eight towns. Regardless of whether it is to show off or not, the old village chief has sent invitations to the surrounding villages. There are many people here. Before noon, there are so many people.
The guests all gathered in Sujia Village.
"Xiaofan, is your rural banquet so lively?" Zheng Dagang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he has been busy for almost a whole morning.
Su Xiaofan's teacher basically taught Su Xiaofan. Whenever he met Su Xiaofan, he had to chat for a few words. It was a pity that he dropped out of school.
In addition, Su Xiaofan was Su Xiaoxiao's brother, so he naturally had to come out to greet the guests. He was busy keeping his feet on the ground. Even Zheng Dagang was caught as a young man, following Su Xiaofan to pass out cigarettes and water.
On the contrary, Su Xiaoxiao, the top female scholar, felt very comfortable today. She sat in the main hall with a plate of watermelon and a few teachers.
"Well, we are all relatives from all over the country, and they will come whenever we say hello."
Su Xiaofan looked at the people who were still pouring into the village, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. He originally thought that it would be good if two to three hundred people came today, and these two hundred people also included people from Sujia Village.
.
But what Su Xiaofan didn't expect was that the old village chief apparently used the fact that his little sister was admitted to Yenching University as a window for Sujiacun's external publicity. When registering the gift money just now, Su Xiaofan actually discovered that there were many
All the customers from Sujiacun came here.
At present, there are already four to five hundred people who have come to the village, most of them bringing their families with them, and there is a steady stream of people entering the village.
Seeing that there were so many people coming, before noon, the old village chief expressed his gratitude to the guests on behalf of Sujia Village, and at the same time announced that Su Xiaoxiao's first-year tuition fee would be paid by the village.
After a brief speech, the 10,000 earth red firecrackers that had been placed outside the yard began to crackle, and a group of children ran and danced around the firecrackers. The atmosphere was almost like the Chinese New Year.
When setting up banquets in rural areas, apart from the cards, the banquet is more practical. The old village chief arranged for banquets to be held in several courtyards at the same time. Twenty tables can be set up at one time, with ten people at each table.
Those who are served first eat first, and then leave after finishing. After clearing the tables, the second group of guests will be served. Basically, a group of people will change in half an hour. Even though there are only 20 tables at a time, it is enough at noon.
Let thousands and eight hundred people eat at the banquet.
This is a rural restaurant with a strong reception capacity that is far beyond what a hotel in the city can match.
As Su Xiaoxiao's parent, Su Xiaofan couldn't sit down to eat for the time being. He had to greet and drop off the gift money at the entrance of the village. However, Zheng Dagang caught up with the first table and ate first, and then returned to
Help Su Xiaofan at the entrance of the village.
From time to time, he looked at the Hanwang Cauldron at the entrance of the village. Su Xiaofan was really greedy. Su Xiaofan didn't care whether it was a high-level magic weapon or not, but the three words "absorbable" made Su Xiaofan's eyes flash with stars.
Not knowing the consequences of absorbing it, Su Xiaofan finally held back. He did not dare to experiment with the treasure of Sujia Village. If something went wrong, the ancestors of Sujia Village would not be able to get around him.
…
"A gift of one hundred yuan." Suddenly, a voice rang in Su Xiaofan's ear. Hearing the word "one hundred yuan", Su Xiaofan, who was still staring at the Hanwang Ding, turned his head.
For rural banquets, especially this kind of running-water banquet, most of them require a gift of ten or twenty yuan, and you can bring a whole family to eat there. Those who pay fifty yuan are those who are particular about it. As for a gift of one hundred yuan,
Yes, that must be a close relationship with the host family.
"Huh? Is it you?"
Su Xiaofan, whose voice sounded familiar to him, turned around and saw Wu Chuanbao standing in front of the table. Although Wu Chuanbao was wearing a hat, Su Xiaofan recognized him at a glance. There was also a man standing next to Wu Chuanbao.
A young man I had met before.
"Oh, you came here looking for trouble?"
Zheng Dagang, who was next to Su Xiaofan, also recognized Wu Chuanbao. He stood up immediately and said angrily: "What's the matter? You didn't dare to go to the market to find trouble, but you came to the village? Do you understand the rules?"
Su Xiaofan's electric shock that day was closely related to Wu Chuanbao, but Su Xiaofan did not tell Zheng Dagang about this. Zheng Dagang only thought that the other party came to Su Xiaofan to return the goods. If he knew about it, Zheng Dagang might take action now.
"You...you're not dead? Are you a human or a ghost?"
Looking at Su Xiaofan sitting behind the table, Wu Chuanbao felt a chill rushing straight to his forehead even at noon on a hot day.
He was shocked by high-voltage electricity and then hit by a thunderbolt. Although he did not dare to take a closer look at Su Xiaofan's condition at that time, Wu Chuanbao could not imagine that Su Xiaofan could survive in this situation?
"You're looking for a beating, are you cursing my brother to death?"
Hearing Wu Chuanbao's words, Zheng Dagang was unhappy and stepped forward and grabbed Wu Chuanbao's collar.
"Brother Gang, don't do anything..."
Su Xiaofan's face was also a little gloomy, but it was just a matter of 8,000 yuan, and the other party was still haunting him. If he hadn't held a banquet for his sister's college entrance examination and couldn't cause trouble, Su Xiaofan would have wanted to hit him.
"Brother Gang, please help me greet the guests. You two, please take a moment to talk." Su Xiaofan stood up, pulled Wu Chuanbao over, and walked under a tree at the entrance of the village.
"You...are you really human?"
Wu Chuanbao breathed a sigh of relief when he came into contact with Su Xiaofan's warm skin. Those in their profession believed deeply in the theories of ghosts and gods.
But for some reason, Wu Chuanbao still felt a little chilly in his heart. He had been feeling uncomfortable since the past few days. Maybe he was frightened when he saw Su Xiaofan just now. Wu Chuanbao just felt cold in his heart.
"Nonsense, am I not a human or a ghost?"
Su Xiaofan let go of Wu Chuanbao, looked at Wu Chuanpeng who was standing with him, and said with a gloomy face: "Last time you chased me and got me electrocuted, I haven't even settled it with you yet. If you still dare to find Sujiacun, then
I will refund you eight thousand yuan, give you another two thousand yuan, and send you to the hospital for a few days."
Su Xiaofan was used to being wild in the village since he was a child. Even an old man in the family could not control him. When he was in school, he often got into fights with others.
It was a bit unreasonable to let Wu Chuanbao go before, but after the electric shock incident, Su Xiaofan became more righteous. He almost killed himself, so beating them up was not too much.
"Cough... cough, cough, I... I'm not here to ask you for money."
Wu Chuanbao coughed twice and explained with a wry smile: "I never wanted to ask you for a refund from the beginning. I just wanted to ask you about the origin of that bronze. I wonder where the authentic one is?"
Wu Chuanbao also felt a little unlucky. He really didn't come to see Su Xiaofan, because he felt that Su Xiaofan had already died.
It has been a week since Wu Chuanbao went to the countryside this time, and the purpose was still to get the "Hoopoe" bronze ware, because Xiangjiang side has added another 200,000 yuan. As long as the Xiangjiang side can get the authentic bronze ware, Xiangjiang side can
Spend one million to buy it.
For local people like Wu Chuanbao, the next burial usually only earns tens of thousands of yuan. If it can earn hundreds of thousands, it will have to be divided among seven or eight people. Therefore, this one million business is really worth it.
Make them irresistible.
So during this period, Wu Chuanbao and the others dispersed to various villages at the foot of Mang Mountain. They were nominally here to collect old goods, but in fact they still wanted to find an authentic "Hoopoe". However, they had been wandering around for more than ten days.
Nothing gained.
Wu Chuanbao, who is in their line of work, naturally knows Sujia Village very well. If it were normal, he would naturally stay away from it.
But the genuine "Hoopoe" is probably in Sujia Village. Taking advantage of the banquet held in Sujia Village today, Wu Chuanbao wanted to sneak in and have a look. He knew that when he encountered this kind of flowing water mat in the countryside, as long as he followed the gift
For money, you can go in and eat.
A gift of 100 yuan was given along with him, but what Wu Chuanbao didn't expect was that before he entered the village, he encountered what he thought was a "dead man". After all, Wu Chuanbao eats dead people, and he was also scared just now.
Not light.
"I told you, I have never seen the real thing..."
Hearing that the other party was here for the bronze, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the old village chief walking out of the village and said, "Leave me a phone number. I'll be busy with this matter."
We’ll talk about it later when we’re done.”
Although the bronzeware he sold did not violate the rules of the village, it was not good-looking to be approached. In addition, today was my sister's college entrance banquet, so Su Xiaofan wanted to get rid of Wu Chuanbao first.
"Oh, okay, then...then I'll wait for your call."
Wu Chuanbao was also a little embarrassed about Sujiacun. When he heard what Su Xiaofan said, he immediately agreed. He didn't even bother asking for the 100 yuan gift money, so he pulled Wu Chuanpeng and left Sujiacun.
"Why is it a little different from when I saw him before?"
Looking at the two Wu Chuanbao brothers leaving, Su Xiaofan frowned slightly. Wu Chuanbao had an earthy smell before, so Su Xiaofan guessed that he was in the inverted fighting business.
But this time when he saw Wu Chuanbao, especially when he touched Wu Chuanbao with his hands just now, Su Xiaofan only felt a cold breath coming from him, but it disappeared in an instant. Su Xiaofan didn't know if it was his imagination.
"What's wrong? Xiaofan, those two people look a bit unfamiliar, what are they doing?"
The old village chief looked at Su Xiaofan who was walking towards him and asked.
"It's a bit like the local masters. I didn't let them enter the village."
Su Xiaofan told the truth, he just doubted Wu Chuanbao's identity and did not dare to be 100% sure.
