When Duan Hongxuan and his party came to the middle courtyard, they saw several plates of food already placed on each table.
Most people have already sat at the table.
Some kept staring at the dishes on the table, swallowing a few sips of saliva from time to time, and shrugging their noses to inhale the aroma.
To save face, he pretended not to care and chatted with the people next to him, but his glances and throat movements from time to time still exposed his true desires.
The naughty children no longer ran around in the yard. They all gathered around the table, drooling, and eagerly looking at the delicious dishes on the table.
If it weren't for the adults nearby who suppressed them, these naughty kids would have taken action long ago.
Seeing Duan Hongxuan pushing the deaf old lady over, the three uncles quickly stood up and said hello.
Yi Zhonghai took two steps forward and led Duan Hongxuan and the others to the main table at the front where the three uncles were sitting. "Old lady, you have to sit at the main table today.
I also said that I would ask someone to call you. The banquet is about to begin. Hongxuan and Yuyu are the protagonists, and you, old lady, are the ancestors of the courtyard.
If you don’t come over, we won’t dare to hold a banquet here!
Hongxuan and Yuyu, you two sit on either side of the old lady.
Let's start the banquet after Zhuzi serves two more dishes."
The main table is a slightly larger Eight Immortals table. Normally, it can seat eight people, but if it is a little crowded, it can only seat ten people.
The deaf old lady was arranged to sit at the top, but two people could sit on her side.
Originally, everyone asked Duan Hongxuan to sit at the top of the table with the deaf old lady, but Duan Hongxuan firmly refused and repeatedly emphasized that the elder Yi Zhonghai should sit at the top with the old lady.
In the end, it was the deaf old lady who made the final decision, and it was decided that Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady would sit together.
Duan Hongxuan and He Yuyu sat at the lower left and right seats respectively. Duan Hongxuan was next to Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, while He Yuyu sat with Yan Bugui, the third uncle.
There are also three wives of the uncles arranged at this table, and there is also a seat left for Shazhu.
In the end, the table was actually filled with ten people.
Silly Zhu is still busy cooking, and the three aunts are doing some cooking, so the seat is temporarily vacant.
It was originally said that there would be six tables, but today there were actually seven tables.
Duan Hongxuan's group started at the table, and then there were three tables on the left and three tables in two rows along the way.
Seven tables can only seat 70 people at best. There are more than 100 people from every household in the hospital. If they all come, there will be no room for them.
The deaf old lady emphasized in advance that she would not accept gifts, and asked the three uncles to tell each household in advance that the elderly and underage children must come.
Therefore, most of the families that want face have one person in charge, plus the elderly and children.
There are also those who are thick-skinned, and the whole family joins the battle. It’s really hard to say anything about it, so we can only leave it to him.
The deaf old lady and the first uncle originally asked the second uncle and the third uncle's whole family to come, but the two uncles were embarrassed.
The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, only brought his wife and the eldest son of the family, and the second and third sons were not allowed to come.
The third uncle, Yan Bu, Gui and his wife not only brought the eldest son with them, they also brought the youngest girl with them.
Apart from the elderly and children, the only remaining pregnant woman in the Jia family is Qin Huairu, so naturally the whole family came.
This family is sitting at the first table to the right under the main table. Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng, and Yan Jiedi are also at this table.
This was the first time Duan Hongxuan met Jia Zhang in person.
At this glance, it is indeed well-deserved.
Judging from his age, he should be around 50 years old, with a fat head and big ears, and is fair and chubby.
There is no smile on his face, he always has a stern expression, and with a pair of triangular eyes, he looks like someone who is not easy to deal with.
At this moment, she was looking unhappy, hugging her precious grandson Banggeng, mumbling something, not knowing what she was talking about.
From time to time, he would use his triangular eyes to glance at the main table and Silly Zhu who was cooking. Then he would murmur a few words with dissatisfaction on his face, and then lower his head to comfort Bangge, who was about to move.
Duan Hongxuan didn't listen deliberately, but a few vague words came to him, such as "The banquet hasn't started yet", "My precious grandson is starving", "What if I let my grandson eat first", "His little kid first
How many bites can I take?" and other words.
Then Qin Huairu seemed to have scolded Banggeng a few times, which made Jia Zhang dissatisfied. While comforting her eldest grandson, she stared at Qin Huairu with triangular eyes and said something.
Qin Huairu responded with aggrieved expression.
Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng, who were sitting at the same table, were chatting, raising their heads from time to time and looking at Jia Zhang and Bang Gang opposite them with contemptuous eyes.
At this time, Qin Huairu was embarrassed to explain to the two people. The two responded to Qin Huairu for a few words, then ignored Jia Zhang and continued to talk about them.
Duan Hongxuan knew this scene well, shook his head and ignored it.
Shazhu is indeed a well-known cook in the neighborhood, and his craftsmanship is beyond praise.
Everyone gathered around the table, eagerly waiting for the banquet to begin, but Shazhu was cooking vegetables over there, and the aroma filled the courtyard, which made everyone's gluttons get ready to be tempted!
Silly Zhu moved very quickly and quickly served three more dishes, so that each table had six dishes.
Now everyone is even more greedy and their mouths are almost drooling, especially the naughty children, and the adults can hardly hold it back.
Seeing this situation, the deaf old lady said to Yi Zhonghai next to her: "Zhonghai, don't wait any longer, just announce the opening of the banquet!
Look, the children are all greedy."
Yi Zhonghai nodded and then stood up.
At this time, all the adults in the hospital looked at Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat first, and then said loudly: "I am not going to say that everyone knows why we are hosting this banquet today.
I know everyone is waiting for the banquet to start, so I will keep the story short.
Adults in every household, don’t just eat it!
After today's meal, go back and educate the children of each family, and pay close attention to the children's studies.
I don’t expect every child to be able to go to college like Hongxuan, but at least you can’t be worse than Yu Yu in the future!
You have to graduate from high school anyway!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
If you have children at home who study well but cannot afford the family income, don’t give up.
You can come to discuss with our three uncles, and we can help you find a solution together.
In short, in one sentence, after eating this meal today, after going back, I hope that every household can pay close attention to their children's study!
If there is a drink at any table, come and get it from me.
Okay, that’s all I have to say, now I’m going to announce that the banquet is open!”
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, my dear, it’s really exciting now!
No matter adults or children, they are all like hungry wolves, and there is no need to be reserved at all.
Each one of them opened their cheeks, opened their big molars, and kept holding chopsticks in their hands.
The main table where Duan Hongxuan is sitting is not bad.
After Yi Zhonghai announced the opening of the banquet, he sat down and picked up the wine glass. The first glass was served to the deaf old lady.
"Old lady, before we start eating, I'd like to toast you.
I wish you good health and a long life!"
"Okay, okay, this is a great toast! My old lady likes to hear this.
But the protagonist today is not me, but my good grandson and my good granddaughter.
Hongxuan came and brought up the wine. If you don’t drink in the rain, let’s bring tea!
And his second uncle and third uncle, they all come to have a drink with my old lady!"
Everyone picked up the cups in front of them and said blessings to the old lady.
"I wish the old lady good health!"
"The old lady lives a long life!"
"Grandma, Yuyu and I wish you good health and a smile!"
Then, with a slight signal, they took a sip from the cup in front of each other.
In this era, it is rare to have a banquet like this in a courtyard where you clink glasses and finish drinking.
Basically, it’s just a few words of toast, signaling each other, or touching the quilt, and then taking a sip of wine.
After taking the first sip, Yi Zhonghai raised his glass again and began to bless Duan Hongxuan and He Yuyu.
"For this second cup, we wish Hongxuan success in his studies at university, find a good job after graduation, and then get promoted step by step!
I wish you excellent academic performance in Yuyu High School and that you can get into a good university in the future!"
The deaf old lady also interjected at this time: "My old lady also interjected.
I won’t say much more about Hongxuan. He has been smart since he was a child and has nothing to worry about!
Rain, grandma, I wish you will get better and better in your studies and grow more beautiful!
Grandma, I want to apologize to you first. I watched you two grow up.
Grandma, I used to care more about Zhuzi, but I care less about you.
According to Hongxuan, grandma, I have feudal ideas that favor boys over girls, and my good grandson still criticizes me!
Grandma now understands that she will no longer favor boys over girls. From now on, boys and girls will be treated equally in my place.
You are also grandma’s good granddaughter!”
When He Yuyu heard what the deaf old lady said, he stood up in shock and was at a loss.
