Our country is the most respectful and orderly.

In a family, the status of parents and children can never be equated, and in a unit, there will always be differences between leaders and ordinary workers.

Even those who can't read understand this point. This was true even in the years of "the most equal" and "working people being the masters of the country".

Therefore, in all our social activities, there is always a difference in etiquette.

It's the same with seats. Whenever the elders and children meet together, they must sit in the traditional order.

Specific to the private celebrations, due to the large number of people, there are both relatives and friends among the guests, and it is impossible to unify the order. It can only be held separately, and the seats are arranged in units of tables. There are usually four types of seats: VIP seats, new family seats, close family seats, and friend seats.

Needless to say, how to arrange the seats, the details are very trivial and complicated. Even if you think it all over, make a holistic arrangement. It's also hard not to make mistakes.

And the most likely problem is precisely the VIP seat, which is commonly known as the "guest seat" and "chief". The controversy between the Hong and Xu families is for this reason.

In fact, VIP seats do not refer to just one table, but are roughly divided into two types.

The first is mainly a special courtesy for happy events. For example, the man and the woman's parents should accompany each other.

For example, entertaining people who have been invited by two families to marry, such as marrying a wife, sending a wife, marrying an official guest, sending an official guest, etc.

In the past, it also included children who lifted hijabs and gold and silver kettles. As is often the case today, witnesses, introducers, master of ceremonies, groomsmen, bridesmaids, and children who veil the bride.

The second type is mainly high-ranking officials who have been invited by their own family, those who have meritorious fame, and celebrities.

This not only requires a separate class of seats, but also arranges the tables and seats according to the level of the rank, the size of the fame and the social prestige. They should also be accompanied by their own family and placed at the same table with people of equal social status and status.

According to the original arrangement, there are actually four VIP seats for the Hong family.

The first seat has the parents of Hong and Xu, the groom and the bride sit together, Chang Xianzhang, Gu Lingye, the "aunt" of the Xu family and Xu Xiaojun.

The second seat is Yuntai and his wife, Shou Jingfang and his wife, as well as several important leaders of Chongwen District.

In the third seat, Mr. and Mrs. Hong Yanzheng accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Chang, Mr. He Jiefu, Mr. Shan, Wang Hanping, Lao Su and Yu Wanyu.

The fourth seat is Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan accompanied the three "sea bumpers", Song Guofu, Song Pingping and Yang Weifan, Zhou Manna, and Su Xiaoming.

Then down are the new relatives seat, the close relatives seat, and the friend invitation seat.

As for the Xu family's disagreement, what are the different opinions?

Dare to be affectionate can be summed up by words, snobbish.

First of all, Xu Bingquan and his wife not only think that the leaders of the two districts have to sit in the first seat anyway, but also ask the Hong family to arrange the "relationship between the upper sides" to this seat.

In addition, they think that although Yuntai and Shou Jingfang are the closest elders of the Hong family, Yuntai and his wife are too taciturn and rustic, just two farmers. And Shou Jingfang's attitude is arrogant, and he is just a medicine master.

In comparison, with the secretary of the catering company in the district, the director of the district health bureau, and the deputy director of the Chongwen Branch, the social status gap is too big, and it is not good to accompany him even if he wants to do his best.

Therefore, they hope that only leading cadres of the same level on the Hong family's side will be arranged to sit at this table, and if it is a literary and artistic worker such as a famous actor, it is fine.

Even the two of them didn't even care much about the "sending wife" on their side, and insisted on arranging the "aunt" to the new family seat. This is called unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

Of course, Hong Lucheng was not happy. argues on the basis of reason, saying that such a faux pas hurts feelings.

However, Xu Bingquan believes that Hong Lucheng's insistence is that he cannot keep up with the social situation.

Think about it, how can people with completely different values convince each other?

So although Wang Yunlin wanted to be reconciled by the side, the situation was still deadlocked, and she was vaguely a little red-faced.

This has to be said, but fortunately, Li Fu has eyesight.

One is that he saw that something was wrong and rushed over in time. Find out what's going on, quickly appease first, and then separate to persuade.

The second is that he has already seen some signs.

He found that Yuntai and his wife, Shou Jingfang and those officials were uncomfortable sitting together, and the little grandson brought by Chang Chang and his wife was always clamoring to find his mother.

Weighing all the circumstances in this way, he persuaded Hong Lucheng to simply let it go.

said that it was almost the last trembling, and at this time the two in-laws had a dispute, which was too cost-effective. Just settle the matter, let him negotiate, and try to change the seat again. Maybe it makes more sense.

And then turned his head, Li Fu discussed with Xu Bingquan again.

First, it was explained first that it was Yang Weifan who helped the Hong family borrow the car, a famous actor with division-level treatment, and a son of a high-ranking cadre. It is said that the identity is enough, but he is a friend of Hong Yanwu, who is a junior, and it is not good to sit with the elders.

The second is to explain again that Director Chang is a family of five. In addition, literary and artistic workers also have their own circles, and most of them are lesbians. It's not very suitable to accompany the second seat.

So it's okay to change seats. But in the relationship between the Hong family, the only people who can accompany the first seat are Director Song and his wife, who are also department-level cadres with the district leaders, and He Jiefu.

And the second seat, there was no one to accompany the Hong family, so the leading cadres who knew the Xu family could only sit on their own.

In this regard, Xu Bingquan and his wife thought about it and agreed.

Because although they failed to achieve their goal of being at the same table with the higher classes, the Hong family gave in after all, and this was a victory on face.

Moreover, from the lack of people to sit in the second seat of the Hong family, it is enough to prove that in terms of social relations, the Xu family still has more advantages.

Think about it again, it's still holding down that high-ranking cadre's son. How to say that the other party is also a junior, and when the people come, when the meeting is held to toast, they will have a good chat, and they may not be close to each other.

In this way, the two families finally reached an opinion, and under Li Fu's fundraising, the seats were greatly adjusted again.

In the end, it became the first Xi Hong and Xu parents, the groom and the bride sat to accompany them, the two district leaders, Director Song and his wife and He Jiefu.

The second seat is some leading cadres in the Xu family's circle.

The third Xi Yuntai's family served as the accompanying director of the Standing Bureau's family.

The fourth seat was Hong Yanzheng and his wife to accompany Shou Jingfang, Shou Xu, Lin Su, Mr. Shan, Wang Hanping, Lao Su and Yu Wanyu.

The fifth seat is Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, the three "sea bumpers", Song Guofu, Song Pingping, Yang Weifan, Zhou Manna, and Su Xiaoming.

But who would have thought that Xu Bingquan and his wife would have gone to great lengths to find things and be satisfied, and the effect of rearranging the seats would be far from being as good as they imagined. In turn, it simply made them blush home.

What is called being cocooned and self-bound? What is it called being smart but being mistaken by being smart? It's all wrong.

The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
