Chapter 55 Mid-Autumn Night Family Banquet
At this moment, Wang Jianguo had just returned from a meeting in the town and was fiddling with an oil can in the yard to add oil to the bicycle chain.
"Uncle, are you busy?"
"It's Xiaofeng, let me put some oil on the car chain! Is something wrong?" Wang Jianguo frowned, thinking that the Zhu family was up to something again. It’s over.
Yue Feng grinned: "Do you have any plans for the evening? I prepared two dishes at home. My parents sent me to invite your family to my house for a casual meal!"
When Yue Feng opened his mouth to invite someone, he was careful. The person he invited was not Wang Jianguo himself, but his family of four.
Of course Yue Feng knew that Wang Jianguo would not agree.
According to Northeastern customs, unless they are close relatives or close friends, the shopkeeper will not bring his wife and children with him when he goes to drink at someone else's house.
But this is the brilliance of Yue Feng. If I invite you alone, you may not want to find an excuse to not go, but I invite your whole family. This is a very sincere invitation to follow you. If you have a good attitude towards your family, you should consider it again if you refuse.
Even if you think it is inappropriate, do you still have to send a representative to the banquet? In this way, wouldn't Yue Feng's goal be achieved?
"I have no arrangements, but your brother hasn't finished his homework yet! If any of the villagers have something to do, we can't leave the house alone! Besides, your aunt has already made dinner, so they won't go. We'll see you next time Chance! "
Wang Jianguo has been in the grassroots circles for a long time. This kind of human sophistication can't be seen through at a glance, and he didn't expose it, but he followed Yue Feng's words and agreed.
"That's okay! We're waiting for you. My dad said, if you don't come, there won't be a party tonight!"
"Okay, I'll wash my hands and then go over!"
“That’s it! I’ll go back first!”
Wang Jianguo watched Yue Feng leave and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is said that sometimes a person's awakening can be achieved by just taking a nap, and this is really the case.
When the second son of the Yue family came back to borrow a bicycle for the first time, Wang Jianguo had discussed it privately with his wife. It has only been a while now, but the Yue family has unknowingly stood up in the village.
Wang Jianguo also knew that Yue Feng organized people to go into the mountains to catch wild game and sell them to the city. The fact that he bought a bicycle in such a short period of time speaks for itself.
Coupled with today's battle with Lao Zhu's family, Yue Feng's performance was very to Wang Jianguo's liking.
Village life has its own rules of survival, and blindly tolerating and accommodating will only make things worse.
Especially for a family like the Yue family, which is a single family with no foundation in a village, facing bullying from the villagers, fighting back with a clear stand is the best solution. Hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches coming.
Today Yue Feng was neither humble nor arrogant. It seemed that he was stolen from the limelight by Xiao Tao, who is from the same family as Li Wen, but Wang Jianguo knew that Yue Feng was the core of the team who was firmly in control of the overall situation in Diaoyutai.
Originally, Wang Jianguo had a very good impression of the Yue family. Now that his son has come to invite him, Wang Jianguo has no reason to refuse.
Thinking of this, Wang Jianguo washed his hands, then went into the house and changed into clean clothes. He said hello to his wife, took out two bottles of wine from the chest of drawers, and took them to Yue Feng's house.
It's not dark yet, but the Yue family is already extremely lively at the moment. The kerosene lamps from several nearby houses have been brought to Yue Feng's house. Looking through the window in the yard, it seems that the lights are a little bit bright.
In the lobby of the north room after entering the door, several old women were making dumplings talking and laughing. The catfish and eggplant were still stewing in the big pot. They hadn’t even come out of the pot yet, and the fragrance had already begun to spread in the room. Woolen cloth.
Wang Jianguo opened the door and entered the room: "Hey, everyone is busy, it's very lively!"
"His uncle is here! Come on, get on the kang in the east room! Yue Lei, Mingyu's father is here!" Meng Yulan shouted into the room when she saw Wang Jianguo coming.
Yue Feng himself was sitting on the edge of the kang waiting for the director. When he heard the greeting, he immediately opened the door and welcomed him out.
"Uncle, this is the room! Get on the kang quickly, I've saved a place for you!" Yue Feng directly greeted Wang Jianguo. At this moment, on the Kang table, all the five tiger generals who will fight today have arrived. On the Kang table, all kinds of hard dishes have been served, except for the last dish of catfish and eggplant and the last dumplings to be cooked.
Speaking of which, as the village secretary, Wang Jianguo has seen quite a few greetings and drop-offs. He usually boasts that he has eaten and seen everything, but after seeing clearly After the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner tonight, I still felt dazed for a moment.
There is almost no vegetables on the table, it is all meat, all kinds of meat, and the only vegetarian dish is braised tofu in soy sauce, but in this day and age, tofu is not something that ordinary people can eat whenever they want. .
“Uncle!”
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
......
A group of juniors greeted each other quickly.
"Jianguo! Hurry, get on the kang, I'm waiting for you. My legs are not good and I can't go out to meet you. Don't pick on Liang!!" Yue Lei stood up and said hello.
Wang Jianguo: "That's what I said, I'm still being polite to you!! The standard is a bit high tonight, I'm here for it! Xiaofeng, put on the wine I brought, let's have a good drink tonight!"< br>
"Hey! Okay!" Yue Feng responded, carrying the bottle of wine and went to the outhouse.
Soon, the last dish of catfish and eggplant stew was served, and dinner officially started! !
At first, everyone on the Kang table was a little bit reluctant to let go. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
Yue Feng rarely spoke at the table. Most of the time, he listened to a few elders chatting. He added wine when it was time to add wine and poured water when it was time to pour water. During a family banquet, the service was perfect. .
With the wine and the atmosphere in place, Wang Jianguo gradually took off his usual airs. During the course of the meal, he praised Yue Feng at least five times for his achievements.
With his son having a future, Yue Lei also felt that he had dignity, so he drank with Wang Jianguo and Li Wen at the same time. By the time the sauerkraut and meat dumplings came, each of them had already consumed almost a pound of wine. .
…………
At around two o’clock in the middle of the night, Yue Lei felt a little thirsty and turned over. His daughter-in-law, Meng Yulan, reached over and touched her husband’s forehead.
“Lan, give me some water to drink!”
Soon, after taking a sip of lukewarm water, Yue Lei felt a little more awake.
"Are Xiaofeng and the others okay?" Yue Lei's head was a little broken. He rarely drank alcohol on weekdays, and he rarely had a killing spree like today.
“Don’t worry, my son didn’t drink too much. He was sent home one by one! He also said that he asked you to drink less, and everyone at the table finally asked you to drink it under the table! His uncle usually How much alcohol do you have? You drank too much today! Let alone Wen Tong." My daughter-in-law, Meng Yulan, said with a hint of complaint in her tone.
"I'm happy today! My son has become successful, and our Yue family has stood up in the village!" Yue Lei's eyes were bright, and his tone was full of pride and pride.
"Okay, okay! Drink some when you are happy, I have no objection! Do you still want a drink of water?"
"No more drinking. I have to stop drinking from tomorrow. I'll heal the injury on my leg as soon as possible and go hunting with my son in the mountains!"
"You also know that drinking alcohol affects the injury on your leg! We’ll talk about hunting in the mountains after we’ve recovered! It’s just past two o’clock, so go to sleep!”
Yue Lei is ambitious on the kang, the moon is high in the night sky outside the window, the stars are dotted, and the autumn insects are chirping. One night.
I came to Smart Push, but I didn’t get a good time and couldn’t get the light on the second round. I felt a little uncomfortable. Please vote!
