Chapter 169 Ticket
The invitation written by Lao Dou was in the wrong place. Many relatives and friends called them one by one to ask. The Kang Qirui brothers had to apologize one by one and tell them the exact location. Fortunately, the originally scheduled start time was relatively early, and it was only half past five when relatives arrived. In the end, the dinner started at six o'clock, which was still a normal time.
While there were still about ten minutes before the banquet started, Brother Niu came to the main table, handed Xianglan a box, and said: "Xianglan, I put a longevity lock on my little nephew. , 24K gold, come on, put it on him hahaha."
"Thank you, Brother Niu." Xianglan didn't show any pretense and accepted it.
Master Zhu also came over at this time and gave Xianglan and Second Sister-in-law a red envelope each, and also said a few auspicious words from Guangfu. The second sister-in-law happily accepted the red envelope and thanked her, but Xianglan's mother couldn't understand. She asked Xianglan in a low voice: "What did she mean when she said this fat piglet?" Just now, Master Zhu praised Bai Xuexue for being fat. Like a little pig.
Xianglan smiled and said, "She is praising God for being so handsome."
Xianglan's mother was even more confused. She said it directly: "You can't be as handsome as Zhu Bajie." Master Zhu Nai didn't know how to explain it, and her face was a little embarrassed. Kang Qirui saw her mother-in-law giving her a wink and explained to her: "Xianglan Mom, what my mother said is the same as what you people in southern Henan said that our son is a leftover. In this way Can you understand?”
“Oh” Xianglan’s mother nodded, so she understood. But she still shook her head and said: "I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it."
"My mother-in-law, it's like you call my grandson Gou Sheng, we are not used to it either." Old Dou also laughed.
A few people chatted for a while before the dinner started. After the dishes were served, Lao Dou coughed and looked at A Yao, who also understood instantly. A Yao walked up to the stage and opened the microphone and said: "Dear guests and friends: Good evening, everyone! Now, I would like to invite Mr. Kang Ershou, the head of our Kang family, to come to the stage to give a speech."
Everyone in the Kang family was stunned. Didn't they mention this process before? I can only applaud and sigh that Ah Yao is worthy of having worked in the agency for so many years, and his skills in flattering are natural.
Lao Dou walked up to the stage amidst everyone's applause, took the wheat from A Yao, and said: "Ahem, dear relatives and friends, today is the anniversary of my grandson and granddaughter. Thank you all for coming. "On behalf of the Kang family, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone." When everyone saw what Lao Dou said, they naturally applauded again.
Lao Dou slowly took out the speech he had prepared long ago from his pocket. "It seems that Old Dou is about to start giving a report." Kang Qirui laughed in the audience, "Old Dou must have said something too long and smelly, and the dishes will be cold by then." The second brother said.
"My grandson Tianyou, whose surname is Kang and whose given name is Tianyou, was born at eight o'clock on September 11, 2002 AD. At the fifth day of August in the Renwu year of the lunar calendar, his courtesy name is Zhineng and his nickname is Gui Laizi." Old Dou spoke eloquently for more than ten minutes before he stopped.
"Okay." After Lao Dou finished speaking, everyone applauded immediately. "Here, cheers." The second brother raised his glass high, not wanting to listen to Lao Dou continue to talk at length, and forced himself to enter the next process. Lao Dou could only have a drink with everyone and then walked off the stage. The meal was officially started.
Kang Qirui followed the two bosses to toast to Brother Niu's table. Brother Niu pulled him and asked: "Fifth brother, you are the most educated. Please tell me, what is the intelligence that the old man talked about?" What do you mean? Intelligence seems to be Zhu Bajie?”
“Brother Niu, Zhu Bajie is called Wu Neng,” Kang Qirui corrected, and then said, “That’s not important, don’t worry about it. Just know that your eldest nephew’s name is Tianyou.”
Brother Niu nodded and asked, “What about Gui Laizi? He sounds like a turtle son.”
“That’s even more unnecessary. Never mind." Kang Qirui and Brother Niu had a drink.
As for the name and nickname Lao Dou chose for Tianyou, Kang Qirui’s evaluation was: neither fish nor fowl. Of course, he only dared to complain about these words in his heart.
There should be a close connection between names and characters, such as Zhuge Liang's courtesy name Kongming, Liang and Ming; and Li Bai's courtesy name Taibai. The term given by Lao Dou means the empowerment of a master of getting rich, and it has nothing to do with his real name, Tianyou. Gui Laizi is even more ridiculous. In Lao Dou's own words, it means that God has given me a grandson. Then this account should be used by Lao Dou himself.
After the full moon wine, Panlan’s mother was ready to go back to her hometown, because Panlan’s sister-in-law and her daughter-in-law were about to give birth. Ayao has been entrusted by the boss Guang to buy her a ticket home. However, Xianglan's mother was always hesitant. She and her mother said, "My mother-in-law, tell me which one I should take care of?" The side is important, no matter what, I and everyone are here to help." Mom advised. Master Zhu comes here every day, and there is a nanny at home, so she can take care of the three children at home.
“One called to say she was about to give birth, and the other has no experience raising children at all. What do you think I should do?” Xianglan’s mother was still worried. As a parent, she always wants to do everything herself. “Look , the child cried again, I went in to take a look."
After a while, Xianglan's mother came out and said to Mrs. Dou a little embarrassedly: "My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, I won't leave. ”
Lao Dou was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "You're not leaving? But you've already bought the ticket." "I'm still worried about Youyou. My daughter has just become a mother and has no experience. She sleeps so hard at night. I won't be late again." I'll leave for two days until she gets used to it." Xianglan's mother was worried that Xianglan wouldn't be able to take care of her child if she didn't sleep well at night.
"Isn't your daughter-in-law Xianglan and her sister-in-law about to give birth?" the mother said.
Xianglan's mother waved her hand and said with a smile: "There's still more than half a month left. It doesn't matter if I go back a few days later." Just delay your own business, haha." Lao Dou first expressed his attitude to prevent Xianglan's mother from misunderstanding that they didn't like her to stay. Then he said: "It's just this ticket."
"Please ask your third uncle to refund this ticket to me." Xianglan's mother handed the ticket to Lao Dou. She also knew that this was very troublesome for Ayao, so she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Lao Dou waved his hand, walked to A Yao's room, gave the ticket to A Yao and asked him to refund it. Ah Yao looked helpless and thought to himself: If I return it now, won’t I have to buy it again in a few days? What a hassle.
Ayao still thought of things too simply. In the next week, he went to refund three times and bought three times. However, Xianglan’s mother still didn’t want to leave. This time Ayao No matter what, I am willing to refund the ticket again. After refunding, I have to buy it again, which means I have to go back twice, and it may not work twice.
"Then this vote is wasted, isn't it?" Lao Dou cares about money.
"Old Dou, this is not a ticket office. With this one in mind, I have already bought four tickets and refunded three. I won't go, so be generous and let me go." Yao looked hopeless.
Lao Dou looked at the ticket in his hand, thought for a while, and asked: "Azong, do you have time? Go to southern Henan for fun?"
A little trivia, the real-name system for train tickets is the 2010 Spring Festival Transport Guangdong Railways began piloting, and it was implemented on EMUs on June 1, 2011, and on all passenger trains across the country from New Year's Day, 2012. As late as 2014, there were still people who successfully purchased train tickets under pseudonyms, and even had their tickets changed and refunded in the process.
So, now in 2002, anyone can take the ticket with Lao Dou’s ticket.
The second brother rolled his eyes at Lao Dou and said helplessly: "Old Dou, my daughter is just over a month old, and there are a lot of things going on in the restaurant. How can I go and play? Your daughter-in-law is afraid if I go there Don't kill me."
"Azu, what about you?" Seeing that the second brother refused to go, Lao Dou changed the target, "Is there anyone in your unit who is going to southern Henan for business or tourism?"< br>
"Old Dou, do you think my sister-in-law's house is in the Shaolin Temple? Are you going to travel when you say you are going to travel?" Azu shook his head.
"Forget it, Dad, I'll go back and refund it myself." After the boss said that, he wanted to take the ticket from Lao Dou's hand. He is Xianglan's mother's son-in-law, so he should go to this matter.
A Yao sighed, snatched the ticket and said: "Forget it, I'll go. I'm familiar with it, we are all brothers."
"Ah San , If you don't want to retreat, I have an idea, but I don't know if the boss and sister-in-law are willing." Kang Qirui thought of a way, and before they asked, he continued: "The boss and sister-in-law will take it. Can’t we just go back together with Tianyou? Didn’t we say it when Tianyou is a hundred days old? We’ll have a hundred-day banquet by ourselves. It’s just right to go back to my sister-in-law’s hometown.”
"Huh? This is a good idea. A Guang went to Xianglan's parents' house once when she got married, but she hasn't been there for two years. It's a good idea to take this opportunity to visit relatives. What do you think, A Guang?" Old Dou's mother said I think this method is good.
The boss was a little hesitant, "The child is still so young. Is it okay to take a train so far away? I'll go back and discuss it with Xianglan first."
"Then you can think about it yourself." Kang Qirui shrugged Shrugging, he had already thought of a solution anyway, whether he did it or not had nothing to do with him. Anyway, if they don’t go, it’s Ayao who is going to refund the ticket, hahaha.
