Chapter 102 The Most Famous Banquet in the County(2/2)
Si Chen:...What else can I say?
Tsk! When it comes to the art of speaking, it has to be them, they are perfect and flawless!
"Welcome, welcome! Come on! Come on! Invite people inside!" With a smile on his face, Si Chen invited people into the courtyard, the enthusiastic kind.
Li Fumin kept a low profile. He personally carried two bottles of Fenjiu in his hands and went in with Mao Yiming.
Si Chen understood clearly that Li Fumin had come to visit his grandma among his children's full moon.
With his status, coming alone to visit grandma will inevitably attract criticism from interested people.
On an occasion like today, it's wonderful to follow Mao Yiming and have a lot of people as cover!
…
As the banquet is approaching, the real "recruitment" person will officially start.
It is a custom in Yuanmeng County that people must arrange their seats according to seniority and relative distance when eating.
The "Zhaoqi" person responsible for greeting relatives and friends must be a prestigious person in the village.
For example, village chief.
Si Jianhua is today’s recruiter.
Even though Si Chen stood at the door for so long, when it was officially time to take a seat in the seating row, he was not qualified.
In fact, Si Jianhua never stopped, arranging everyone to work and arranging where to sit for those who came in. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
At 12 noon, firecrackers went off!
The banquet is officially about to begin!
Suddenly——
Behind the white mist of rising firecrackers, a military green jeep drove slowly.
Si Chen had sharp eyes and quickly ran forward——
Auntie!
Uncle!
Only my eldest uncle, Si Qingbai, was dispatched with this kind of standard.
Si Jianhua also guessed it and quickly stepped forward with the cigarette case.
But then he thought that Si Qingbai didn't smoke, so he hurriedly put the cigarette case in his pocket again.
At this moment, under the big locust tree on the roadside, five or six of my uncles' black Santana cars were lined up.
Suddenly a military green jeep arrived, which was particularly eye-catching.
The villagers naturally guessed who was back and started talking about it:
"Xuemei and his wife have become high-ranking officials in the provincial capital!"
"Look at this scene, it's completely different from others!"
"Leave Xuemei and his wife aside, tell me, among the daughters and sons-in-law who live in our county, which one of them is not showing off?"
"Tsk, other people, it would be great to have one!"
"Look at this house, it's a nest!"
…
This time, not only Si Xuemei and Si Qingbai, but also their daughter Si Yin and son Si Chong came back.
This jeep was driven all the way back by Si Yin, a fierce female man.
Si Qingbai has a special status.
Therefore, as soon as we got off the bus, we were welcomed in.
Si Xuemei, on the other hand, stayed outside to chat with her relatives and responded to why she came back when she had time:
"I'm not going on summer vacation. As an aunt, I haven't even seen the dolls. If I tell you, won't it become a joke?"
As for asking Si Qingbai and the children, Si Xuemei was vague and polite.
Her husband and children were all handed over to the state. There are too many confidentiality restrictions and cannot be disclosed.
"Xuemei, it's so easy to come back and stay a few more days, okay?"
“If you stay a few more days, you must stay a few more days!”
…
Let’s have a dinner!
Mrs. Si shared a table with Song Meiyun and other in-laws' mothers, and the other in-laws' father-in-laws shared a table.
The sons-in-law are naturally at the same table.
Si Qingbai, Qi Renshu, Mao Yiming, Song Ci, Song Tianfu.
There was also Li Fumin who sneaked in.
Just right, six people per table.
Song Tianfu ate this meal with trepidation and cried in his heart:
Fourth brother-in-law, fourth brother-in-law, I miss you!
If Master Tang were here today, it wouldn't be Song Tianfu's turn to make up the numbers at this table.
Master Tang, who is far away at Jiangcheng University:...ah sneeze!
As for Zheng Zhi, Director Zheng, as the godson of Mrs. Si, he is not just...
He is a member of his own family and has to shoulder the important responsibility of serving his relatives.
That means you are not qualified to sit down and eat!
No matter how high an official you are, in Mrs. Si's place, you have to follow the village's rules.
How capable are you, you just want to break the rules and sit down? Why don't you go to heaven!
Therefore, after the banquet started, godson Zheng Zhi was the one who served the dishes and led the team!
Zheng Zhi has the final say which kiln is served first and which kiln is seated last.
He made arrangements clearly and orderly at the top of his lungs.
Everyone who comes to have a meal today has to say something with emotion:
This full moon wine is really unique in Yuanmeng County!
The noodles are not as big as usual!
Even among the juniors who are not qualified to sit in the room, there are still a lot of promising talents among them.
For example, two tables are placed in the shade cast by the large locust tree outside the courtyard.
Sitting around a table:
Si Yin, Tang Linlang, Si Letian, Si Xiaoxiao, Si Chong, Zhao Zheng.
The two boys at the back were assigned simply because the other table couldn't accommodate them.
At another table, sitting around:
Song Gang, Zhao Yan, Zhao Yi, Zhao Cheng, Zhao Xun, Zhao Ping.
Originally, Song Gang was at the girl's table, but for the sake of the gentlemen's sake, he quietly moved over.
In this way, Zhao Zheng, a weak scholar, was squeezed past.
Chapter completed!
