On the day of the Full Moon Wine, early in the morning, the whole Xu family became lively. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the Full Moon Wine banquet started and many guests came.
Uncle Jiu now has a high reputation and status in Fengshui Town, and Xu's father, Xu's mother, Xu Dongsheng and Tian Rong are also good people themselves, so there are many guests coming.
Early in the morning, Lin Tianqi and his brother Xu Dongsheng were arranged to stand at the door to greet guests, while Father Xu, Uncle Jiu and others were inside to greet and settle the guests. As the sun rose, the number of guests gradually increased.
"Hey, little Master Lin, you are back. I heard everyone said that you are back these days. I even went to Master Lin's shop once. Unfortunately, I didn't see you. I did see you today. I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Long time no see. Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I'm sorry. I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would still remember me. But you don't dare to call me "boy". You can just call me Xiaolin or Tianqi."
"That's right, that's right. Little Master Lin, you are too humble. The zombie incident last time was all thanks to you and Master Lin. Otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable."
"Everywhere, everyone is close to each other as neighbors. This is what I should do. Mr. Zhou is too strict."
"Little Master Xu, congratulations, congratulations on the birth of your son, congratulations."
"Thank you! Thank you! Mr. Zhou, please come inside quickly and sit down inside."
"........."
Guests arrived one after another, all from the town, old and young, and they all greeted Lin Tianqi and congratulated Xu Dongsheng.
The two fellow apprentices also politely welcomed everyone into the gate one by one with a smile. The banquet in the courtyard inside the gate had already begun to be set, and people were filling up one after another.
Uncle Jiu and Xu's father were also busy greeting the guests inside. Xu's mother, Xu Jie, Si Mu, Qianhe, Liu Qingmei, Momadi, Southeast and Northwest, A Le and others were helping.
After a while, a middle-aged couple came over with a well-dressed little girl, which attracted the attention of other guests around and said hello.
"It's Master Ren. Master Ren is here too."
"Master Ren."
"Hello, Mr. Ren."
"Master Ren is here too."
"Hello Mrs. Ren, Miss Ren is so beautiful. She is so beautiful at such a young age. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
"..."
But it was Ren Fa, his wife and daughter Ren Tingting who came, holding a red brocade box in their hands.
"Hello everyone, hello everyone..."
Ren Fa also smiled and spoke politely to the people around him, appearing very approachable.
Seeing Ren Fa's appearance, Lin Tianqi sighed slightly in his heart. Among all the landlords in Fengshui Town, Ren Fa has the best reputation. This is indeed not unreasonable. Just look at his attitude towards others.
You are not comparable to an ordinary landlord. No matter what you think in your heart, you are always polite to you, which makes people feel comfortable just looking at you.
"Master Xu, congratulations, congratulations on the birth of your son. A small profit is not a sign of respect, so I hope you won't dislike it."
After greeting the other guests, Ren Fa walked towards the door again, immediately looked at Xu Dongsheng and said with a smile, and handed the red brocade box in his hand to Xu Dongsheng.
"Thank you! Thank you! Master Ren is so kind."
Xu Dongsheng immediately smiled and was polite.
Ren Fa also smiled and nodded a few times with Xu Dongsheng, then looked at Lin Tianqi and said with a smile.
"Little Master Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I haven't seen you for several months. Little Master Lin is getting more and more charming."
"Master Ren is overly praised."
Lin Tianqi immediately smiled and said.
Ren Fa smiled even brighter after hearing this. He looked very enthusiastic towards Lin Tianqi's smile and patted Ren Tingting beside him to signal.
"Tingting, you haven't called anyone yet."
"Hello, little master Lin."
When Ren Tingting heard this, she immediately let out a crisp cry, and looked at Lin Tianqi without blinking with a pair of big, fluttering black eyes, looking very cute and cute.
"So are you." Lin Tianqi also smiled softly at Ren Tingting after hearing this, and then praised Ren Fa and his wife: "Miss Ren is so well-behaved and cute. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
When Ren Fa and his wife heard this, smiles appeared in their eyes. What parent who loves their children doesn't like to hear people say how good their children are.
Ren Tingting seemed to understand Lin Tianqi's compliment, as her face showed a slight blush, and her whole face showed a bit of shyness, which immediately made all the adults present burst into laughter again.
Afterwards, after a brief chat, Ren Fa and his wife entered the gate with their daughter. Uncle Jiu and Xu's father in the yard saw Ren Fa's arrival and came over early to entertain them warmly. Compared with the previous guests,
He seemed very cautious and enthusiastic. After all, Ren Fa was also a landlord in the town. Given his status, he naturally had to be more cautious.
Status is an unavoidable issue in any era. It is impossible to make everyone equal and have their own priorities.
There cannot be absolute equality in the world, not only because of the existence of things like power, money, and strength, but also because people themselves are different.
Individual abilities are high or low. This is an objective fact. As long as this exists, it will be impossible for the world to treat people equally, because if absolute fairness is achieved, it will only treat those with strong abilities.
unfair.
To use the simplest metaphor, a group of people work in the same company. Some people have outstanding abilities and pursue advancement, while others have low abilities and are idle. At this time, is it fair to give them the same salary and the same treatment? This is obviously impossible.
For those who have the ability to make progress, it is unfair. If they have the ability to do better, why should they receive the same treatment as those with low ability? This in itself is unequal.
And if this kind of equal treatment cannot be achieved, then the gap in status between rich and poor will naturally appear and become wider and wider, and equality will naturally be a fantasy.
Therefore, the word equality itself is an impossible thing, because it is itself a refutation.
In the courtyard, the arrival of Ren Fa gave the whole banquet a slightly different atmosphere. Uncle Jiu and Father Xu personally accompanied him and sat at the same table with Ren Fa, while Ren Fa's wife and Ren Tingting were represented by Xu Jie and Liu Qingmei.
, Xu’s mother and three people accompanied her.
Not long after, the mayor Li Yu also came, but he did not bring his family and was arranged to live in the same building as Renfa.
Later, several landlords from the town came one after another, and they were all seated at Ren Fa's table, with Uncle Jiu and Father Xu accompanying them.
Landlords have the position of landlords, and ordinary people have the position of ordinary people. The distinction is clear.
According to the customs here in Fengshui Town, the full moon wine needs to be served all day long, and the banquet is divided into morning and evening. There is a banquet in the morning and another banquet in the afternoon.
In the morning, except for Simu, Qianhe, Mamadi, Liu Qingmei and others, the guests were basically all people from Fengshui Town. However, in the afternoon, many people came from Tian Rong's natal family.
At sunset, the whole banquet slowly ended.
After seeing off the guests, it was already dark.
Tian Rong's parents also chose to leave after dinner. Tianjia Village is not too far from Fengshui Town, it takes more than an hour to walk.
The day after the full moon wine, Liu Qingmei said goodbye and left. Four eyes, Qianhe, Mamadi and others stayed for one more day, but on the third day, they all chose to say goodbye.
Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie stayed for nearly a week, and it was late May before they chose to leave.
Uncle Jiu, Father Xu, Mother Xu, Xu Dongsheng, Tian Rong and others all know that Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie will go abroad to settle in Singapore after returning this time. I am afraid that they may not come back in a short time or even a few years.
I sent the two of them more than ten miles away from the town.
In the afternoon, Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie returned to Guangzhou, and their trip to Singapore was immediately put on the agenda. The time was set for the 31st of this month, which is the last day of this month.
