Chapter 248 Banquet
The 1980s was a simple era.
There is no need to go to a hotel for a banquet. You borrow a table from the home, a stool from the west, a friend brings a fish, and a colleague sends a bottle of vinegar. The banquet is set up.
The Yang family’s banquet was bigger and bigger, but the nature was the same.
Yang Feng asked someone to start placing tables from the township government and put them down the road. Round tables and square tables still come from all households. If there is not enough, he borrows tables from schools and units in front of him.
The guests also came with things, and those who gave meat and fish were recorded on the gift list. Live chickens and ducks were gifts, and onions, ginger and garlic were not embarrassing.
The unit for gifts is 5 cents. If the guests who have not brought the goods will pay at least 5 cents. One or two cents is normal. Even if the amount reaches 5 cents, few people will give one yuan.
However, whether it is a person's five cents or 50 cents, it is not enough to support the cost of the banquet, because the current price of food is very expensive, and tobacco and alcohol are even more expensive, and the cost of a meal is close to ten yuan. Therefore, in the 1980s, it was a pure loss to hold a wine, but the difference is that more or less.
Rui's mother has the courage to organize such a big seat because Yang Rui gave the family several thousand yuan.
The first dish at the big mat was carp, and then two dishes were served, braised pork and buckle, followed by medium dishes such as meat and vegetable stir-fry, tofu, mushrooms, etc., and finally fried shredded potatoes, cold dishes and some soup for big-bellied men.
One dish was made of ten dishes. Except for the stir-frying, the rest were made by Rui Mom and more than a dozen relatives’ women in the past two days. When the meal was time, they were all in the cage and steamed with steamed buns.
Not long after Yang Shan was on the table, Yang Feng announced the start of the table.
Various meat and vegetables were served up like a price, making the main street of Xizhaizi Township full of fragrance.
On this day, the Yang family opened more than 200 seats.
In addition to relatives and friends, the staff of Xizhaizi Township and the militiamen who came to support them also sat in the table.
The militia invited by Yang Feng were actually employees of various nearby units, and the concepts of relatives and friends basically overlapped, which was equivalent to colleagues of relatives and friends. Because they were all in the same place, they were at least familiar with each other.
However, for Yang Rui, these people are completely unfamiliar with them.
But today, Yang Shan and Yang Feng were still very excited and kept pulling Yang Rui to meet people.
Then, I kept drinking.
At the beginning, Yang Rui was thinking about trying some tricks to escape wine, but Wang Guohua, who came to help, couldn't see it. He grabbed his arm and pointed to the banquet table like a snake formation in front of him, and asked, "I can escape the first day of the first day, but I can't escape the fifteenth day."
Yang Rui's eyes were dim and his head raised and drank the wine in the cup.
Before today, Yang Rui was still not allowed to drink.
The college entrance examination scores were out of the cage, but it seemed that his social position suddenly changed.
The continuous toasts, praises and greetings made Yang Rui fall asleep before he finished one-third of the road.
Wang Guohua and Cao Baoming carried him back alternately. He also breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's finally over." Wang Guohua rubbed his shoulders.
Cao Baoming also moved his shoulders and smiled and said, "You don't exercise. Yang Rui's muscles are trained."
"Why is the heavier the exercise?"
"Of course the muscles are heavy. He has eaten so much beef, but it doesn't all happen on his arms and legs?" Cao Baoming bulged his biceps and showed it.
"Then we have to carry it when we get drunk. However, there are enough people coming today."
"Everyone is happy."
"Yes, I don't know if I can get together in the future and be so happy." Wang Guohua said with some emotion.
Cao Baoming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you report to Beijing?"
"Of course it's."
"You changed your choice?"
"No."
"Yang Rui chose it for you?"
"Nonsense, I know that Peking University and Tsinghua University are in Beijing, so can I apply?"
"Since it was Yang Rui who helped you report it, what are you worried about? Is it necessary to be sad about spring and autumn?"
"Oh, have you used this word in the essay?" Wang Guohua said with a tsk: "It's so good to use..."
Cao Baoming couldn't help but slap him, and then said, "Don't whine, go get a fish to eat, I'm not full."
"Where do I go to find fish? I might as well catch one for you to eat."
"Go to the kitchen to find it. There must be one. Go quickly. I am big and conspicuous, so I feel embarrassed to see it."
"I'm embarrassed." Wang Guohua said that, but he left. Among his classmates, Wang Guohua has always been a good classmate who is willing to give.
Yang Rui was drunk, but the banquet was not affected at all.
Men have a rare opportunity to drink. After they have eaten, they start looking for people to drink, and women also join in the fun and chat.
For everyone, social activities are the main entertainment activities. The story of being able to stay at home and have fun is something people have never imagined at this time.
Zhao Dannian is one of the few men who don’t drink much.
He was old enough to want to drink alcohol, but he didn't want to drink alcohol.
However, Zhao Dannian was not pretentious today. On the contrary, he saved his alcohol tolerance and held a cup to find the officials in charge of education.
Previously, Zhao Dannian relied on his qualifications to never take the provincial and municipal educational institutions seriously. It was too far apart, and it was useless to take them seriously. What qualifications do Xibao Middle School have to contact provincial and municipal educational institutions?
Zhao Dannian is a practical person. Although he is an old and young pioneer born in the Red Guard, in the provincial and municipal governments, there are many members of the Communist Youth League from the Eighth Route Army. He can't show it even if he wants to show it. No one will give more money to Xibao Middle School because he is so proud of him. Since that's the case, Zhao Dannian is too lazy to establish a relationship and drink with him.
Today is different from the past. A national top scorer not only pushed Yang Rui to the forefront, but also pushed Xibao Middle School to the peak.
Before Zhao Dannian walked around twice, he met a familiar person who came up to say hello.
Before he could remember the other party's name, the other party called "Principal Zhao" first and raised his glass and said, "I wish Lao Zhao a cup, the golden phoenix flying out of the mountain nest, the top scorer in the country, you have to drink a cup when you Lao Zhao hit your hand."
"I'm lucky, and our Xixian and Nanhu are lucky." Zhao Dannian smiled and held the cup.
"It's OK." The people sitting in front of them were from the education system. After knowing who Zhao Dannian was, they all gathered around and clinked glasses one by one.
After a while, Zhao Dannian received the promise to renovate the campus. Not only that, someone else was happy and gave him a suggestion, saying, "You have to make the brand of Xibao Middle School. It is not only the brand of Xibao Town, Xi County, Nanhu City, but also the brand of our Hedong Province. To make such a good school bigger and stronger, you must first do a good job in infrastructure construction. You should talk to Director Huang, just use this reason to ask for a teaching building."
"Teaching building? How much does it cost?"
"You care how much it costs, just say I want a teaching building. Starting from the fourth floor, it depends on whether he gives it to him or not. If he doesn't give it, he will have a third floor. If he doesn't have to, he will have two floors. If he doesn't have to, he will have a national top scorer. You have a national top scorer. You are not a national top scorer, not a provincial top scorer. You are the national top scorer. You are the national top scorer. You won't give him whatever you want."
Zhao Dannian smiled foolishly: "It's only the first place in the country, and I will not be able to give the top scorer in the country in the future."
"So I have to take the heat to strike the iron..."
As Zhao Dannian listened, he also felt it made sense and nodded unconsciously, thinking: The school can be expanded no matter what, it depends on how much it can be expanded. It is best to recruit more teachers in addition to infrastructure, so as to get rid of Liu Kang's like this.
When talking about Liu Kang, Zhao Dannian felt a little scared. If he had listened to Liu Kang's advice that day, the students' grades at Xibao Middle School would be completely different now. Perhaps, the dividends brought by Yang Rui's national top scorer may be offset by serious estimation errors.
In Zhao Dannian's eyes, teachers like Liu Kang are neither of their own skills nor self-awareness. Even if they cannot be fired, they should be placed in a corner but have a life of rest. As for the practical problems such as Liu Kang is still young, Zhao Dannian is too lazy to think about it.
The banquet started at noon and continued until evening.
Most of the guests who stayed until the evening were drinking, and some helped people would leave at noon and clean up the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs for the Yang family.
In the next few days, Ruima's main job will become how to return a huge number of tables, chairs and tableware.
Of course, there are also countless notification activities that students and parents like to hear about.
