Chapter 86: Eighty Birthdays
Since the successive incidents that happened in the Su family a while ago, the old man Su has always been very bad, and the signs of aging have become more and more obvious. When the other children of the Su family heard his filial suggestion, how dare they disagree, and they all echoed Su Daqiang's proposal, and Old Man Su also happily agreed to Su Daqiang's request.
"I'll just say how can Su Daqiang be so considerate and filial, and his feelings are the idea of everyone's pockets!"
At night, Wen Baolian accused Su Daqiang of using the birthday banquet to forcibly collect 300,000 yuan from their family at the dinner table.
"Mom, you've been talking about this for a day, the money has been given to the uncle, tomorrow is grandpa's birthday, you better eat well." ”
Su Li has been harassed by Wen Baolian's phone calls since he went to work in the morning, and he is annoyed.
Wen Baolian glared at Su Li and said, "I'm not allowed to complain, and you didn't give me the money." Do you know how hard it is to earn 300,000 yuan? Young people just don't understand the preciousness of money!"
The only person who doesn't have a job here is you, how are you?" Chu Ge complained silently in his heart.
Su Li listened to her mother start to make noise again, and left the dinner table in a hurry.
"Su Daqing, look at your daughter, what's going on with her, is there still a mother like me in her eyes?" Wen Baolian had a distressed expression.
Unfortunately, before she could finish her seizure, Su Li returned to the restaurant and handed over a bank card to Wen Baolian.
"Mom, of course I have always had you in my eyes, this is my bonus, there are 300,000 in it, all of which are given to you. ”
Wen Baolian received the money, and she even forgot her surname, so naturally she wouldn't remember Su Li's so-called "unfilial piety" just now.
Su Li looked at Wen Baolian who was smiling helplessly, and smiled bitterly at Chu Ge, who also shook his head in response.
Early the next morning, Wen Baolian urged Su Li and Chu Ge to get up, wanting to be the first to go to the venue, so that the old man was impressed.
"Wife, I think it's good to be like this, no need to fight anymore. ”
In front of the dresser, Su Li asked Chu Ge to tidy up his clothes, because Chu Ge's attitude was too casual, Su Li was very impatient, so he had to go into battle to help him tie the tie.
"Today is grandpa's 80th birthday, please be serious, okay? Damn, why is this tie so hard to wear?"
Chu Ge looked at Su Li in front of him, who was busy helping him tie his tie, his heart was very warm, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to grab Su Li's hand.
"Wife, it's just a birthday, you don't need to make yourself so nervous. ”
Su Li said angrily: "We have provoked grandpa so many times before, and no matter how bad our performance is, maybe grandpa will embarrass us." ”
"It's impossible for me to please him, I still remember the fact that he let you go alone to face the migrant workers, and it's good not to scold him. Chu Ge was upset for Su Li.
"Alas, why do you care so much?" Su Li sighed, "I'm used to seeing grandpa, he was just confused at that time, I believe he wouldn't deliberately put me in danger." ”
"Don't talk about these things when you see grandpa later, so as not to make him unhappy and confused again!"
Chu Ge felt sorry for his wife, who swallowed his anger, and nodded heavily to promise that she would not mess around, and would try to follow the old man's wishes.
Chu Ge and Su Daqing carried the prepared congratulatory gifts into Su Li's car, and after the four of them repeatedly confirmed that nothing was left behind, they drove the car to the banquet venue booked by Su Daqiang.
Su Daqiang took so much out of everyone's purse, and he really didn't waste it at all. The banquet venue he selected for Mr. Su is the largest hotel in Jiangcheng - the No. 1 banquet hall of the Black Swan Hotel, the whole venue is about 800 square meters, the venue adopts a noble and elegant European medieval design, the floor is composed of black and white granite, the beams and columns are carved with a large number of exquisite reliefs, and even the tables and chairs have a simple but not simple line beauty.
In the middle of the front of the venue is a huge stage, with two huge LED screens on the stage, and many speakers next to it to ensure that the audience can see and hear clearly. The floor of the stage is covered with a red carpet, highlighting a festive and solemn atmosphere.
"Hmph, Su Daqiang took so much money from us, so he built this small place, I don't know how much he swallowed by himself. ”
Wen Baolian couldn't stop dripping blood when she remembered the 300,000 yuan she handed over to Su Daqiang, and Su Li pushed her into the venue.
Because they came too early, the birthday banquet had not yet started, and only Su Mingqiang was directing the staff at the scene, and Old Man Su was still staying in the old mansion.
"Since you're here so early, let's help. ”
Su Mingqiang unceremoniously asked Su Daqing to follow the staff to move things, asked Wen Baolian to follow the staff to confirm today's menu, and ordered Chu Ge to sort out the list of people invited to participate today.
Chu Ge rarely didn't put forward any opinions, and obediently agreed to Su Mingqiang's request.
"What about me, cousin, don't you have anything you want me to do?"
Leaving himself alone without being assigned a task, Su Li was a little at a loss.
Su Mingqiang shook his head: "There's nothing to do for the time being, just look at me here." ”
"Then I'll help Chu Ge sort out the list together. ”
Ignoring Su Mingqiang's dissuasion, Su Li went to the front hall to find Chu Ge.
When he arrived in the front hall, Su Li found that Chu Ge had not started working at all, but was sleeping on the table.
Su Li kicked him: "What are you doing, is the list confirmed?"
Chu Ge yawned and said, "There is no need to confirm, what should come will naturally come, and there is no point in confirming what should not come." ”
"It seems to be very philosophical, I think you just want to be lazy, hurry up, let's sort it out together. ”
Su Li sat beside Chu Ge and picked up the list to inspect, and Chu Ge had to work at his wife's pace.
As the old saying goes, men and women match, work without getting tired, and before you know it, half an hour has passed. Old Man Su had already rushed to the birthday banquet hall, and began to intermittently have invited people to the venue to attend the banquet, and Chu Ge and Su Li also became candidates to receive guests as a matter of course.
"Wife, how many people did Su Daqiang invite, how do I feel that half of the population of Jiangcheng is here. ”
Chu Ge has always maintained a smiling face since the first guest, and Chu Ge feels that his face is almost fixed.
"Didn't we count, there are more than 200 people in total, stop talking, keep smiling!"
