Almost all the guests who came to the Liu family for the banquet had arrived, including Liu Na's seven aunts and eight aunts.
The old branch secretary of the production team picked up the loudspeaker and began to order the dishes to be served.
Sitting at the main table were naturally close relatives of the Liu family.
Liu Jianjun is the protagonist today, so there are naturally many relatives and friends who come to toast and celebrate his birthday.
However, during the banquet, after toasting with Liu Jianjun, all the relatives fawned over Wang Guiqin even more.
"Sister Guiqin, I heard that your family has contracted a mountain to plant plum trees. Is selling plums really so profitable?"
"Yes, we are all a family. If there is really a good way to make money, Sister Guiqin, please don't forget about us."
A group of relatives tried to please Wang Guiqin.
Among the entire Liu family, Liu Jianguo's family is the richest. Ever since they rented a hilltop and started growing plums a few years ago, they can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year. They are also famous growers in Huangjing Town.
During the dinner, Zhong Dafen was naturally unhappy when he saw all the relatives gathered around Wang Guiqin.
The reason why she wanted to hold a birthday banquet for her old man was not only to make money, but also because her eldest brother Liu Jianguo also held a 50th birthday banquet in the town the year before last. The scene was so lively.
When she came back, she felt envious and thought that she would do the same for her own family.
However, compared to his eldest brother Liu Jianguo, Liu Jianjun's birthday banquet seemed a bit shabby, and most of the guests attending were villagers and poor relatives.
Looking at her sister-in-law Wang Guiqin who was so popular among the crowd, she naturally felt a little unbalanced.
"Today was tough!"
At the main table, Liu Na looked at Chu Tianyao who was also seated and said.
After all, he had been busy all morning, and Chu Tianyao also contributed a lot.
"It's not hard work. It's just a matter of effort. My Zhigang not only contributed effort but also a lot of money."
The eldest sister Liu Yuling, who was sitting at the same table, smiled and came to stand in front of her father Liu Jianjun.
"Dad, this birthday banquet was all paid for by my family Zhigang. It costs several hundred yuan. It's not like some people who just go home and go through the motions."
Lucy Liu's words were naturally aimed at Chu Tianyao and his wife.
"Sister, we also bought birthday gifts, how can you say that?"
Liu Na was a little annoyed after hearing this.
Although she didn't contribute any money, she spent several hundred just on the gifts she bought from the city.
"Okay, I know what you are thinking."
Liu Jianjun glared at his two daughters, then looked at Pan Zhigang with a smile and praised:
"It's not about money. Zhigang is so busy at work in the quarry. He took two days off to celebrate my birthday. His filial piety is unparalleled by others."
It can be seen that Liu Jianjun is very satisfied with today's birthday banquet. In his opinion, this is all the credit of his eldest son-in-law Pan Zhigang.
Upon hearing this, Liu Na felt aggrieved. Just when she was about to say something on behalf of her man, a big hand grabbed her hand tightly under the table.
Liu Na turned around and saw Chu Tianyao shaking his head at her with a smile.
To put it bluntly, the reason why he came to Liu's house was entirely for Liu Na's sake.
If the Liu family really regarded him as their son-in-law, he would certainly have the filial piety that he should have. However, in the current situation, it was clear that the other party did not regard him as one of his family members.
At this time, hearing what his old father Liu Jianjun said, Pan Zhigang and his wife naturally looked proud.
"Is this your second uncle? I heard that he is from the city. I wonder what kind of job he does in the city?"
During the dinner, Wang Guiqin and several relatives of the Liu family also looked at Chu Tianyao next to Liu Na, and asked Zhong Dafen.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Dafen's face turned a little ugly.
Compared with the eldest son-in-law Pan Zhigang, Chu Tianyao's identity is really a bit out of the spotlight.
"Tianyao is doing some beer business in the county town."
Zhong Dafen was embarrassed to speak, but Liu Na told several relatives.
Upon hearing this, all the relatives also laughed.
In their opinion, the beer business Liu Na was talking about was probably a salesman selling beer.
These days, salesmen like this are everywhere.
Wang Guiqin nodded and said, "The beer business is pretty good. I heard from my man that there is a Xingyao Brewery in Yongning County, which specializes in beer. The business is huge. I heard it is even better than the Yongning Brewery."
After all, Wang Guiqin lives in the town, and he is much better informed about the news in the county than the relatives here in the countryside.
"Sister Guiqin, can you make money like this by selling beer?"
Hearing Wang Guiqin's words, several women including Zhong Dafen were also shocked.
They didn't know what brewery it was, but everyone present knew the name of Yongning Brewery. This was a large state-owned factory in Yongning County, and many people were trying to get into the unit.
boom……
While several people were talking, the sound of a motorcycle suddenly sounded outside the yard.
Immediately afterwards, a round-faced middle-aged man wearing a shirt and a bit of a beer belly walked into the Liu family yard.
"Oh, isn't this Director Liang?"
While sitting at the table, Pan Zhigang and Liu Chiling looked up and saw an acquaintance, and they looked surprised at that moment.
The couple didn't care about eating, so they quickly stood up and went to greet them.
"Director Liang, why are you here too?"
Pan Zhigang looked at his immediate boss, quickly handed over a cigarette, and asked with an apologetic smile.
Liang Qiang was the production director of their quarry, and Pan Zhigang was just a squad leader under him. The two of them had little interaction on weekdays, and Pan Zhigang never expected that the other party would come to attend his father-in-law's birthday party.
"I'm here on behalf of our Factory Director Jin. Originally, Factory Director Jin wanted to come here in person, but there was an emergency in the factory and Director Jin couldn't get away, so he sent me here specially."
That being said, Liang Qiang also had some doubts in his heart.
Because Jin Daya was in such a hurry to explain, he had no idea what the relationship between the Liu family and the Liu family was, so that the director of his own factory valued it so much.
Could it be this Pan Zhigang?
Liang Qiang glanced at Pan Zhigang and then shook his head.
This guy is just a small production squad leader. He doesn't even look down on him. How can he have a relationship with his own factory director?
Ignoring so much, Liang Qiang went straight to the old branch's desk and took out five hundred yuan in front of him.
"Can you please remember that Jin Daya will give you five hundred yuan as a gift!"
During the scene, as soon as Liang Qiang said these words, almost everyone's eyes turned towards him.
"Hey, five hundred yuan, this is a big deal!"
"I know Jin Daya. He is the boss of Jinmao Quarry in the town. I heard that the thief is rich."
"Is the Liu family so high up? Why did Boss Jin personally send people to deliver gifts?"
…
For a time, all the guests attending the birthday banquet were talking about it.
Especially the relatives of the Liu family, almost all opened their eyes wide and looked at Liu Jianjun and Zhong Dafen with envy.
"Sister Dafen, what on earth did your family do? Even Boss Jin sent people to give gifts, and the price was only 500 yuan."
"That's right, Sister Dafen really doesn't show her face. Your family actually still has this kind of relationship. Are you still worried about the third son not being able to find a wife in the future?"
A group of relatives kept asking questions.
Zhong Dafen also looked confused. She didn't even know when she had a relationship with Boss Jin.
"Come, Director Liang, let me introduce to you, this is my father-in-law."
After giving away the money, Pan Zhigang smiled and welcomed Liang Qiang to the main table, where he met today's birthday boy Liu Jianjun.
"Come on, come on, Director Liang, sit down and eat quickly!"
Seeing Liang Qiang coming, Liu Jianjun quickly stood up to greet him.
"Old man Liu, please sit down. I won't eat anymore. There is still something to do in the factory." Liang Qiang looked at Liu Jianjun, just picked up a glass of wine and said: "My factory director told me that he is friends with your son-in-law and asked me to give it to you.
I wish you a long life and may your life be as long as that of Nanshan Mountain."
After saying that, Liang Qiang simply raised his head and drank a glass of wine.
Without waiting for any further persuasion from the Liu family, he excused himself as having something to do in the factory and hurriedly left the premises.
At this time, after Liang Qiang left, all the relatives at the table naturally looked at Pan Zhigang.
Liang Qiang already said that Jin Daya was friends with the Liu family's son-in-law.
There were only two sons-in-law of the Liu family at this dinner, and only Pan Zhigang worked in the quarry.
So this friend of Boss Jin is undoubtedly Pan Zhigang.
"Sister Dafen, your family really has a good son-in-law, and Boss Jin is not an ordinary person!"
"Yes, I have long said that Zhigang is a nice person. Yuling did not marry the wrong person back then, and you two will enjoy the blessings from now on."
All the relatives commented, almost praising Pan Zhigang to the sky.
Even Zhong Dafen believed this statement after listening to everyone's words.
Thinking about it carefully, she only has two sons-in-law, who else could she have besides Pan Zhigang.
Chu Tianyao?
How could that bastard prodigal befriend someone like Boss Jin?
During the dinner, Liu Na was the only one who wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Chu Tianyao.
There is nothing easy to explain about this kind of thing.
Furthermore, it was somewhat beyond Chu Tianyao's expectation that Jin Daya asked someone to give him gifts.
