Chapter 187 Stubborn Old Dou
“Old man, what are you pacing around for?”
Old Dou, who has never had the chance to wear a suit and go out, can only look in the mirror in his room and admire himself. But he himself was unhappy with this kind of behavior, and his mother was also very irritated. "My eyes were dazzled by the pace, and I couldn't even pass the needle."
"What does it have to do with me whether the needle can pass through?" "Lao Dou was also very irritable, "I don't know what's wrong lately. I can't sit or stand, and I don't want to eat."
My mother suddenly panicked, put down her needlework, stood up and touched Lao Dou. Dou's forehead, "Are you sick? Do you want to see a doctor? Or should I ask Wan Ling to come over and take a look at you?" She said and was about to go out and call Zhu Wan Ling.
Lao Dou quickly grabbed her, "What's your name, Wan Ling? I'm not sick, but you are."
"Hello? Do you want to be so mean? I just care about you." Mom felt like she was He did something to Donkey Ganfei out of kindness, but also lost his temper. The two started arguing. Kang Qirui, who heard the noise, knocked on the door to break up the fight. After opening the door, Lao Dou walked out of the living room with a dark face.
Kang Qirui shook his head helplessly, walked into the room and said to his mother: "Old Dou's irritable state will probably be cured when the weather gets warmer or someone gets married and has a baby." His mother also shook her head, She asked Kang Qirui to help her with her needlework and stopped talking about Lao Dou.
When Lao Dou came to the living room and was about to turn on the TV to see if there was a weather forecast, a person walked in at the door, "Comber, have you had lunch?"
Old Dou was furious. Ignoring them, the visitor stood awkwardly at the door. Fortunately, Mom and Kang Qirui rushed out of the room quickly, "Ba Gu is here, come and sit down." Mom asked the visitor to sit down.
"Ba Gu, what's going on?" Kang Qirui poured a cup of tea and asked.
"I'm getting married tonight, and I'll invite your family to a wedding banquet." Bagu relieved her awkward mood and handed over the wedding invitation with a smile. Mom and Kang Qirui looked at each other and were both shocked. It was already past one o'clock at noon. My daughter was getting married tonight. Why are you just sending invitations now?
Sending wedding invitations seems to be a very simple matter, but there is also a lot of knowledge involved. Chinese people are very particular about etiquette and respect. Generally speaking, invitations should be sent out at least one week in advance. This is not out of etiquette, but it also makes it easier for guests to arrange their own time, and it is also convenient for you to confirm the accurate number of people present, so that you can accurately Book a banquet.
Bagu's behavior of getting married tonight and sending invitations only at noon can basically be considered provocative and extremely disrespectful to everyone in the Kang family. Kang Qirui's face darkened on the spot and his eyes were serious. Even Lao Dou, who wanted to drink the wedding wine most, looked at Bagu with an unkind expression.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean it like that." Ba Gu quickly explained: "I have wanted to give it to you for a long time, but my husband thought I did. I thought he did. Today I haven’t seen anyone from your Kang family coming, so I realized that we didn’t send them. I’m really sorry. It’s really a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.”
Marrying a daughter is not a small matter, it is not just a matter of a meal in the evening. At least the bride has a meal at home before going out. Marrying a wife and marrying a daughter are the two most important things. If the host's family doesn't invite you for these two things, then you must be at odds with the host's family.
"Ba Gu, you don't have to be embarrassed." After listening to Ba Gu's explanation, Lao Dou suddenly became happy: "Our whole family will definitely go tonight, we will definitely go. Thank you very much." He happily accepted the invitation from his eighth aunt.
"Then I'll leave first. There are a lot of things going on at home today." The misunderstanding was resolved, and Bagu left. Lao Dou didn't come back until he sent Ba Gu to the street.
After he came back, he called everyone one by one and told everyone to go home quickly. After making the call, he told his mother and Kang Qirui: "You should hurry up and get ready. I'm going to get a haircut first."
"Are you so excited?" Mom turned pale. One glance.
"Old Dou is of course excited to have the opportunity to wear a suit." Kang Qirui smiled, and suddenly joked: "I just don't know if the hotel where Ba Gu serves wine has heating? It would be interesting if there is no heating, haha . ”
“Oh, you bad boy, can’t you make your old friend happy?” Mom patted Kang Qirui with the invitation, “Go and change clothes.”< br>
It was not until 4:30 in the afternoon that everyone else had gone home and waited, and Lao Dou came back in a hurry. I got a fashionable hairstyle, went back to my room and put on my suit. Hey, it really looked like that, he looked like a leader.
“I’m seventy and eighty years old and I still imitate other people’s greed for beauty.” The old woman couldn’t stand Lao Dou and said sarcastically.
"Why are you greedy for beauty? This is called improving the quality of life." Lao Dou refused to admit it, and asked: "By the way, which big hotel will Eight Aunt invite us to? Everyone is ready Right? Then let’s go. Can A Zong and A Rui fit in two cars? A Guang can’t fit in two taxis.”
"It doesn't seem to be the case." Mom took out the invitation card sent by Eight Aunt, "You don't need to take a taxi, it's just a walk."
Lao Dou opened the invitation and found that Eight Aunt was there. The food stall at the corner of the street was selling wine, so I didn't choose to go to the hotel. "Publishing wine at a food stall? How can this match my designer suit and my pretty hair?"
"Ba Gu is the same. Marrying a daughter is such a big deal, why should we serve wine at a food stall? Oh, if you don't have money, don't follow others' example of serving wine." Lao Dou angrily went back to his room to change into his cotton coat. If he had known this, he wouldn't have gone to get a haircut, which cost hundreds of dollars. Lao Dou's face was very bad until the meal. Eight Aunt thought that Lao Dou was still angry about the fact that the invitation was only sent out at noon today, so she and her husband came over to propose several glasses of wine.
“Although we are at a food stall tonight, the dishes are really good and the scene is very lively.” After everyone in the Kang family returned to the Kang family, the mother sighed road.
"The scene is really lively. Why does Lao Dou keep a straight face? Ba Gu and the others have come over to toast several times." A Yao asked suspiciously when he saw Lao Dou go back to his room as soon as he got home.
The second brother didn't take it seriously, "I've been born for so long, and I've always seen his face like this. What's so surprising? And let me tell you, when he's angry, he's more He looks so handsome when he smiles.”
“No, I think it’s strange too.” The second sister-in-law had a different opinion from the second brother this time, “You old Dou usually drink two glasses of stupid water. I talked a lot after that. I don’t know what happened today. I didn’t talk during the meal. Now I go back to the room to play and disappear.”
Kang Qirui glanced at Lao Dou’s room to confirm that he was there. After closing the door to the room, he said to everyone: "So none of you understand Lao Dou, especially you, Ah San. You always say that you know Lao Dou best, but in fact you know nothing about him."
"Hey, hey, hey, just say Lao Dou. Why are you talking about me? Tell me quickly. Tell me what's going on?" Ayao looked innocent, and the others looked at Kang Qi with gossipy faces. Rui.
"After Gu Gu came to deliver the invitation at noon today, Lao Dou thought he was going to a big hotel and could finally wear his designer suit to show off. He even went out to get his hair done, but only when he came back did he realize he was going to a food stall." Kang Qi Rui analyzed it with everyone in a low voice, "Not to mention that this suit is not worn yet, and it cost more than a hundred yuan in vain. Who is Old Dou? Guy Han, can you not be angry?"
Everyone is Feeling that Kang Qirui's analysis was very reasonable, the mother sighed: "Then there's no way you old Dou Chengri can do this. What do you think we should do?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. They shook their heads and expressed their helplessness. It was Kang Qirui who had an idea, "During dinner in the evening, I heard Secretary Wang from the neighborhood committee saying that the neighborhood committee's domestic service center was going to find someone to teach the nannies about accounting. I think this old Dou is good at it. , after all, I have been an old accountant for decades.”
“This is really suitable for Lao Dou. Of course, you have to wear a smart suit when you go to give lectures, and the neighborhood committee office is heated, so you don’t have to worry about being kicked out. It's cold." Ayao was the first to agree.
"Then this glorious task will be handed over to your third brother." Kang Qirui patted A Yao on the shoulder, and A Yao looked confused, "Leave it to me? What do you mean?"
"Old Dou wants to go, but he has to get permission from others. You can go as soon as you say?" Kang Qirui spread his hands and said, "So the neighborhood committee agrees to Old Dou's honorable mission as a nanny and accounting teacher. , I leave it to your third brother, the neighborhood committee member you are most familiar with.”
In the end, the five brothers of the Kang family, except A Yao, unanimously voted to put A Yao in charge of this matter, and A Yao was indeed the one. There was a way, and he got the matter done just the next day. As expected, it was the agency's affairs that had to be handled by the agency's people. Lao Dou was very happy after hearing this. He finally had the opportunity to wear his famous brand suit on appropriate occasions. He was secretly happy in his heart, but in speaking to the outside world, he just reluctantly tried to use his remaining energy.
"We have explained fixed assets and current assets very clearly, as well as the calculation methods of cost accounting and current ratio. I believe you all understand, right?" Today Lao Dou is giving a speech to a group of young people. The nanny was in class, and Kang Qirui happened to come to the neighborhood committee to issue a family planning certificate. On his way out, he passed by the small classroom and looked outside the door.
I heard one of the nannies raise her hand and ask: "Teacher Kang, what is the difference between the current ratio and the butter salad?" Kang Qirui almost fainted from laughing outside the door, and after a while he calmed down again. I heard other people ask: "Teacher Kang, if I buy a piece of pork, is this piece of pork a fixed asset or a current asset?"
"Didn't you listen carefully just now? Like this, what else? If you don’t understand, please come and ask me alone after class. I won’t continue talking about these two knowledge points here.” Lao Dou turned over a page of the prepared lesson plan and said, “Next, I will teach you about national production. How the total value is calculated ”
"Let me tell you now, the gross national product is divided into several categories."
Kang Qirui was not going to listen to the rest of the content. He shook his head and walked out of the neighborhood committee quickly. It is estimated that Lao Dou will have to go home soon. Either the neighborhood committee will fire him or he will resign in anger.
The reason is very simple. These people are live-in nannies, and their educational level is generally not high. Moreover, based on their work content, it is enough to learn simple financial knowledge and be able to keep accounts, calculate accounts, and settle accounts. , it’s already very impressive if the accounts are balanced and consistent.
Lao Dou went too far when he taught people about the current ratio, and he actually also taught about the calculation method of gross national product. Even if people learn it, what can they do? After doing the nanny's work, is this year's gross national product calculated in the room?
So the final result of this matter must be that everyone is dissatisfied with each other.
