Chapter Seventy-Six: Go Home and Have a Banquet
The next day, after Li Hongyi quit meditation and practice, today is the day he wants to go home, although it is not a long time since the last time he went home, but the feeling of homesickness has always been in his heart.
I talked to Sun Changshui about going home for the New Year, asking him to take good care of his family, and when he was fine, he also bought some Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers.
Sun Changshui wanted to have the kung fu to do that, he still had to organize a gathering of the company's personnel, give out red envelopes, and have to walk around with a group of immortals in the space during the New Year, which was really much busier than usual.
"You kid go back with peace of mind, remember to bring it with your family, there are a lot of things in the company during this time, I will deal with it first." I'm going to pay you New Year's greetings and have a drink with my uncle. Sun Changshui said.
Li Hongyi patted him on the shoulder, opened the car door in a dashing manner, and left. Along the way, I looked at the snow on both sides of the road that had not yet melted, and soon arrived at a familiar village. Seeing the villagers with New Year's goods, they greeted them cordially.
Finally, the car stopped at the door of the house, and Li Hongyi carried a large bag of gifts: "Mom, Dad, I'm back." The second elder went out and took the things in Li Hongyi's hand excitedly, "It's good to go home for the New Year, why do you bring so many things, and you can't eat so much." ”
Li Hongyi stood in the courtyard and looked at the back of his parents, the rickety body staggered and the wrinkles on his parents' faces just now, Li Hongyi felt sad for a while, thinking that he could enjoy happiness in the future.
When I returned to the house, my father made the tea that I was usually reluctant to drink, and my mother adjusted the dumpling filling and prepared to make dumplings for Li Hongyi.
"Dad, I bought a villa for your second elder in the city, and we can raise flowers and bask in the sun in it. Li Hongyi asked tentatively because he was afraid that his father would refuse.
"You've arranged it, then we'll pack up and go with you after the New Year. Surprisingly, my father did not refuse.
"I would like to invite the neighbors to dinner tomorrow and go to the best restaurant in town, and thank you all for taking care and helping our family over the years. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, I'll go and inform them now, and say that you will pick them up tomorrow and take them to the Emgrand Hotel for dinner. Dad looked happy and said the name of the most expensive restaurant in town.
My mother pursed her lips and glared at my father and said, "You keep the money to marry your daughter-in-law, I heard that marrying a daughter-in-law in the village is very expensive, and your father and I are as happy as we are doing well." ”
"Mom, don't worry, I'm rich now, and inviting the villagers to a meal will be regarded as a farewell, and it won't cost much money to delay you in holding your grandson." Li Hongyi said playfully.
As soon as the words fell, the father stood up: "My son is promising now, so I should invite everyone to have a meal and have fun together." Then he turned and trotted out to inform his neighbors.
Li Hongyi also got up and looked at his father's happy appearance, very happy.
The mother didn't stop her, but said with a smile: "Your father loves to show off, now you can buy enough face for him." ”
In fact, the big Hummer at the door was already full of villagers. "I'll go to the Emgrand Hotel for dinner tomorrow, our family Hongyi will have a treat, and let them drive to pick you up tomorrow." Father looked at the villagers and said proudly.
"Your family Hongyi is really out of luck. ”
"What kind of work is Hongyi doing now, so rich. ”
"Hongyi's car is very expensive! ”
.........
The villagers were talking about it, and my father was proud to answer one by one. "Go home and wait for Hongyi to pick you up for dinner tomorrow, he will give you an answer when the time comes." ”
The villagers at the door dispersed, and the father went to inform the villagers who were not present.
Early the next morning, Li Hongyi wanted to rent a bus to pick up the villagers, but his father insisted on letting Li Hongyi drive.
The hall was bustling and lively, children were playing, the old people were full of love, the young people were bragging, Li Hongyi was crowded with seven aunts, eight aunts, two aunts and three aunts, "Hongyi, ah, it's out" "Does Hongyi have a partner, my aunt will introduce you to me..."
In the private room upstairs, a middle-aged man from the Mediterranean stood on the railing on the second floor and looked down at the group of hillbillies downstairs, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"What is this from the village downstairs? Can you still eat quietly, who is your brigade secretary?" Get out of here. The big-bellied man beside the man said impatiently.
The village suddenly became much quieter, and the secretary of the brigade stood up and said: "The young people in our village who are talented invite the villagers to have a meal, and I don't know that the director is also dining here, so I tell them to be quiet." ”
He is Yan Jiang, the director of our town police station, who eats and drinks every day when he doesn't do business, and the little attendant next to him is even more bad. The crowd began to talk.
"Today, I invited the villagers to dinner just to have a lively time. The adults can be together, and I will pay. Li Hongyi said politely.
"I don't like the hustle and bustle and I don't want to be disturbed, so I want you to change the room. Let's keep the money and go to the stall to buy it for your group of dirt buns, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford what we eat. Yan Jiang looked at Li Hongyi contemptuously.
His father was also afraid of causing trouble, so he persuaded Hongyi to change his family. Look down on people? It makes you look down on whom.
He turned his head to the boss and said, "Boss, I have chartered the entire hotel today, you can calculate how much money will be given to you now." The premise is to let them out. The boss was too scared to speak.
Yan Jiang walked down and said to Li Hongyi: "It's useless for you to buy this hotel today, get out, there are a few hillbillies who don't know what their surname is, and they dare to fight for me." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called the team leader in the group to bring someone over.
At this time, Zhang Lei's phone also came: "Hongyi, Dad said that he was going to visit his uncle and aunt, we have arrived in Tanghe Town, where is your home?"
"It just so happens that today I was at the Dorsett Hotel, and I invited you folks, come over together. By the way, you give the phone to Uncle Zhang, and the director of the police station here has something to say to him. As he spoke, he gave the phone to this Yan Jiang.
"Hello, I am..."
Yan Jiang heard Zhang Ju's voice and hurriedly stood straight: "Zhang Ju is good! I'll pick you up at the door now." Hanging up the phone, Yan Jiang handed the phone to Li Hongyi in a proper manner, and looked at Li Hongyi with a worried face: "Brother, I was wrong just now, please beautify your face in front of Zhang Ju." ”
Li Hongyi didn't speak, and he didn't plan to make things bigger, after all, the villagers were all there.
Yan Jiang turned to the person behind him and said, "Hurry up and follow me to the door to greet the deputy mayor." ”
The villagers also went out to see the excitement: "Hongyi is really powerful, and the mayor came to eat with us." ”
The crowd at the entrance of the Dorsett Hotel is waiting for Zhang Ju.
"Wow! It's so lively, it seems that we are here today, hahaha!" Zhang Ju said to Zhang Lei.
The car stopped steadily, and Zhang Ju got out of the car and looked at the smiling faces or Yan Jiang's frightened expression: "Hello folks." Let's go in and eat. It's rare to get all together. Zhang Ju greeted warmly. Yan Jiang cautiously followed behind him.
The villagers also responded to the enthusiasm of Zhang Ju when they saw it. Back at the dinner table, there was another heated discussion, and Hongyi's supernatural powers were vast. Li Hongyi's parents were also stunned.
Li Hongyi took his parents, Zhang Ju's father and daughter, and Yan Zhen to the largest private room and sat down, and told the waiter that the food could be served.
Li Hongyi's parents are both officials as big as Zhang Ju in the village, as well as the beautiful young girl next to him. Nervous don't know what to say. Zhang Lei is also extremely restrained, and she is still dressed extremely ladylike today.
Li Hongyi hurriedly broke the tense atmosphere: "Mom, this city public security bureau director and deputy mayor Zhang Ju, this is Zhang Ju's daughter, Zhang Lei, and the future daughter-in-law of your second elder. ”
Li Hongyi's parents looked at the down-and-out girl in front of them incredulously.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm my parents. ”
Li Hongyi's parents and Zhang Ju shook hands nervously and greeted each other. Zhang Lei also greeted Li Hongyi's parents in a restrained manner: "Uncle and aunt, I am Zhang Lei." ”
Li Hongyi's mother said excitedly: "Okay, good, good!"
A table of people sat down and the parents chatted briefly, and the villagers secretly looked at Li Hongyi, the future daughter-in-law, while eating.
Every word is envy and blessing. This old couple can enjoy Qingfu now. That's great!
In the middle of the drink, Zhang Ju suddenly said: "These two children used to be classmates, but now they have come together again because of some things and become boyfriend and girlfriend." It's just that Lei Lei is still in school, otherwise I really want them to get married early. ”
Only then did Li Hongyi believe that the excellent girl in front of him was really his daughter-in-law.
"There's no hurry, no hurry, as long as the two children are fine. You can like each other at any time. Li Hongyi's father stammered a little excitedly.
Li Hongyi and Zhang Lei looked at each other, smiled shyly and lowered their heads.
Yan Zhen looked at this happy scene and looked a little out of place, and wanted to work hard to fit in: "Zhang Ju, welcome to our Tanghe Town, I will pay tribute to Zhang Ju on behalf of Tanghe Town." Respectfully raised his glass and drank with Zhang Ju.
Li Hongyi's father took Li Hongyi to the hall to toast the villagers: "Fellow villagers, thanks to everyone's care over the years, I will take my parents to the city after the year." Here's a farewell to you. ”
The villagers raised their glasses together to bless Li Hongyi, and also wished Li Hongyi's parents to enjoy happiness.
Li Hongyi raised his glass again and said: "I wish you all the best in the early years here, and I wish you all the best if you want to do better!"
The villagers raised their glasses again, and Li Hongyi and his father returned to the private room again in the laughter of the villagers. Full of psychological pride, my father is also full of pride.
