After a few minutes, the music in the wedding hall was changed to "For You" by Zhang Yu.
And this song seemed to be a signal. Not long after the song started, the wedding banquet started to be served.
As the hostess, Zhou Yan’s task is to accompany the drinker.
After serving the cold dishes and two hot dishes, Zhou Yan picked up the wine glass: "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my cousin Feng Jun's wedding. With this glass, I express my gratitude on behalf of my second uncle's family...
"
After March 21, Zhao Yongquan began to introduce the guests, just like when Zhou Yan went out to drink with a group of roommates in the dormitory in college...
"Let's get to know each other" and "get to know each other better", come and go, and we'll finish it off after just one or two drinks.
Although there was a deputy to help carry the wine, by the time the bride and groom were toasting, Zhou Yan estimated that he had already lost more than two pounds...
Zhou Yan was a little lucky that his second uncle's business circle did not have much overlap with his own, and there were not many "traveling" customers.
"Your longan and lotus seed soup..."
After the longan and lotus seed soup, there are also staple food and fruit plate.
However, looking at the empty plates on the table, you can tell that almost no one has eaten the staple food.
"Everyone, I have something to do..."
Someone took the lead, and the guests began to leave one after another.
After Zhou Yan settled Cheng Lidong and Zhao Yongquan, he went downstairs to find Zhao Yang and others.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, the brothers worked hard at noon. Those friends of yours are really good at drinking..." While speaking, Zhao Yang could no longer hold his tongue straight.
"Brothers, please stay here for the night..." Zhou Yan turned around and looked at the manager on duty, "I will arrange two suites and two large beds. Tell the chef to prepare four portions of hangover soup.
…”
"This is not good..." Zhao Yang's girlfriend Han Ning felt a little embarrassed.
"Brother and sister, how about you go back and I can arrange some girls for Brother Zhao?"
After settling down my old classmates, I still have to go downstairs to see off the guests.
Relatives who are a little further away have already boarded the car, and those who are relatively close are sitting in the banquet hall drinking tea.
"My nephew is here?" The second uncle's face was full of smiles. After letting go of his worries, he seemed to be in a better mood.
"I'm here to do business," Zhou Yan smiled, "Second uncle, Cheng Lidong, you don't have to worry about it. Zhao Yongquan drank more than two kilograms and has already settled in. He is expected to leave tomorrow. The other customers will leave after serving their food.
…”
"Nephew, those classmates of yours..."
"There was a lot of drinking, and those tables were all old drunkards..." Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "My classmates have made arrangements to invite them to have a light meal together in the evening..."
"Just look at the arrangements..." The second uncle smiled, "By the way, tonight..."
"We are all left with our own people, and many of them have asked for overtime help, and the tables are not easy to arrange." Zhou Yan thought for a while, "How about making it a buffet, or make do with this banquet hall...
"
"It's okay..." The second uncle's eyes lit up, "The banquet at noon was good, but having another meal in the evening is indeed a bit boring..."
"This way..."
After saying hello to my second uncle, I was just about to find a place to sit down when I found my wife waving to me.
When I walked in, I saw that my grandparents and aunts were all looking at me, and the bride and groom were also there.
"You didn't mean to..." Qin Ruoshu blushed, stretched out her hand to push a chair, and motioned for Zhou Yan to sit down.
Zhou Yan immediately understood: "From tomorrow onwards, we will ban alcohol..."
At this time, the second aunt sitting opposite seemed to have reacted and glared at the second uncle: "Old Feng, look at what you have done. My nephew is preparing to have a child, and you have arranged a task for me..."
"It's the same in the morning and in the evening," Mrs. Zhou Yan didn't pay too much attention, "Just pay attention to yourself..."
When my mother spoke, Zhou Yan realized that there was still someone missing: "Where is my father?"
"I went upstairs to sleep with your uncle..."
"By the way," the second uncle smiled and sat across from Zhou Yan, "Don't even go back at night. Let's have a buffet together and let my brother-in-law have a good rest..."
"Dad," cousin Feng Jun couldn't laugh or cry, "It's only a little after one o'clock. Is it still early to talk about dinner?"
“Where can we go to play in the middle of winter?”
"How about going to the sea?" Li Jinling's eyes rolled, she glanced at Zhou Yan quietly, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
"No problem, but..." Zhou Yanxiao smiled helplessly, "The crew of the big one is gone and can't move. It's no problem to go up there and play. If you want to go to the sea, you can only move the small one...
…”
With that said, Zhou Yan looked at Qin Fangyuan at the other table: "Dad, are your fishing rods still on the boat?"
"Still, it turns out I didn't touch those of yours either..."
Compared with the Xinghai, which has a displacement of nearly 9,000 tons, the "attendance rate" of the Feiyu, which is less than 40 meters tall, is obviously higher: when he is not too busy, Zhou Yan's father-in-law Qin Fangyuan will pull Zhou Yan's father along.
Zhou Zhenghai went fishing.
As soon as he heard that he was going to go fishing at sea, Qin Fangyuan immediately became energetic: "You guys wait here for a while, I will prepare the bait..."
It was planned that the whole family would stay together, but when we went out, my grandparents and aunt and uncle stayed in the hotel.
When they boarded the ship, a group of people were in high spirits, standing on the deck and shouting, but after going out to sea, they all hid in the cabin.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun seems to be shining brightly on land, but when you go to the sea with abundant water vapor, you can experience the "wet and cold" in the south. It feels like the cold air directly ignores the existence of the down jacket and directly affects the bones.
Based on the ocean current map, Zhou Yan found the place where the small warm and cold currents met, stopped the ship, and sailed away.
He thought that the few young people who were sheltering from the cold in the cabin would go out to play after the boat stopped, but when passing by the cabin, Zhou Yan found that this group of people were actually playing poker.
Speechless.
After finding the fishing gear in the storage room below, Zhou Yan was too lazy to disturb his poker friends and went straight to the back deck.
"Hey, you are too slow..."
The father-in-law has already set up the fishing rod, while the uncle is looking on with a smile, and several other elders are sitting in the small bar on the upper floor that is sheltered from the wind, drinking tea.
Zhou Yan also moved very neatly, taking out the fishing rod, unfolding it, hanging the bait, and throwing the hook.
Because he was worried about the low water temperature and the lack of fish, Zhou Yan used four rods, all of which were long-term and deep-water.
Although the water temperature is low in winter, the metabolic level of fish is low, and the resistance ability is poor, but the fish resources are relatively small.
After throwing the hook, Zhou Yan fixed the rod and looked back at his uncle who had been standing by: "Uncle, there are still a few fishing rods..."
"No……"
"Your oil and water supply ship has completed the drawing review and will be put into production soon. The sea trial will be in May next year at the latest..."
"So fast?" My uncle couldn't believe it.
"At any rate, it is a shipyard that ranks high in scale..." Zhou Yan was a little proud.
"Hey, Zhou Yan, when you were drinking, you didn't ask if there was anything wrong with Cheng Lidong coming here?"
"Don't worry, it's the beginning of the project anyway, the investment is not small, I'm afraid something will go wrong..." Zhou Yan raised his head and looked at the blue sky, "This is what he said himself, there may be other reasons that we don't know...
"
"Alas," Qin Fangyuan lowered his voice and turned back to glance at the group of people chatting above, "Xiao Zhou, my daughter really plans to have a child?"
"How can this be false?" Zhou Yan smiled, "I was a little anxious when I saw my sister-in-law was pregnant..."
"That's true..." Qin Fangyuan sighed as if he was mocking himself, "Several of the neighbors who are as old as Ruoshu have already given birth to children..."
"By the way, don't worry about taking care of the children. Ruoshu's mother is idle all day anyway..."
"It's the same. Our family hasn't been busy in the fields in recent years..."
