Chapter 106: Embarrassment
The time is getting closer and closer to noon, and the last guests, who should have arrived, have arrived one after another.
At around 11:20, Deputy District Mayor He arrived first.
Xu Bingquan and his wife immediately greeted them warmly, and introduced Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin with radiant faces.
It can be said that it is a coincidence, it is a few minutes of work on the front and back feet, and Lao Su accompanied Yu Wanyu into the Hanging Flower Gate.
So Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin exchanged a few polite words with Deputy District Mayor He, and went together to welcome the new guests.
For these two guests, the old couple of the Hong family were obviously much more enthusiastic than the district chief, not only personally led the two people into the seats, but also talked for a while.
Because of this, Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen were a little unhappy. I feel that the Hong family is a little confused about which end is heavy and which end is light.
It's just an old neighbor and a singer, so I can't be so enthusiastic at all. What's more, no matter how famous the horn is, it is not as important as the deputy mayor of the capital.
If you are in another city, everyone is old, and this level is enough to be a mayor. How can you be so contemptuous?
The correct way to deal with it should be to bring Yu Wanyu over. Let Lao He shake hands with her and say words of encouragement, how good it is.
And what did Yu Wanyu give? White porcelain Guanyin? Who wants this thing...... Cut!
Xu Bingquan and his wife really take their official positions too seriously, they won't understand how tired the actors are after a performance, and how impatient and unnecessary they are.
So immediately after the arrival of Deputy Secretary Wang of the District Party Committee, these two people rushed with evil fire. It is not said that Deputy Secretary Wang's time is precious, and he can't let the leaders wait for a long time, so he started the ceremony quickly.
The Hong family really doesn't care, since the Xu family is in a hurry, let's start it.
Unexpectedly, when Hong Lucheng called Li Fu to instruct him to start, Deputy Secretary Wang heard that Yang Weifan was also coming, so he took the initiative to ask to wait.
"It's okay, I want to meet the big star too. Speaking of which, his father is still my old superior, I don't know how Yang Lao is now. I have to say hello anyway. ”
As a result, from this moment on, Xu Bingquan and his wife inevitably started the mode of "carrying out the embarrassment to the end".
Because different is different, in their eyes, Deputy Secretary Wang is a superior, which is very important. But people are willing to hold Yang Weifan.
What is even more unexpected is that Yang Weifan does not "pee" on Deputy Secretary Wang at all. On the other hand, it attaches great importance to an ordinary person with no identity.
In fact, at about half past eleven, after Yang Weifan and his party came, they didn't care much about the other guests except for congratulating Hong and Xu.
Even if Deputy Secretary Wang took the initiative to report to his home and greet Yang Yaohua's body closely. Yang Weifan just expressed his gratitude, politely and perfunctory, and did not mean to talk further. He even refused the invitation to move his seat to the chief.
What really made him urgent was to inquire about someone with Hong Lucheng and his wife.
Who's asking?
Shou Jingfang.
When he dared to come this time, Yang Yaohua specially handed Yang Weifan two boxes of good ginseng, and entrusted his son to be sure to let the life-saving benefactor accept it. said that if he could really accept it, he would feel more comfortable.
This is mainly because Shou Jingfang has always strictly forbidden the Yang family to disturb, and this opportunity to meet is purely rare. In addition, Yang Yaohua also knew that Shou Jingfang had a noble temperament, and felt that the farewell would be rejected. I made this special arrangement.
In this way, Yang Weifan naturally regards this matter as the first priority today, and he has to do it to make his father feel at ease.
So when he came to the fourth table and saw Shou Jingfang's face, he was like a good child, first bowed respectfully to Shou Jingfang and said hello, and then patiently expressed his father's meaning, begging Shou Jingfang to accept the Yang family's thin gift.
This situation made Xu Bingquan and his wife and Deputy Secretary Wang look stupid. They were all shocked and suspicious, and no one could understand what Shou Jingfang was coming from.
It's fun to say. What made Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen almost vomit blood was that then Deputy Secretary Wang actually asked them, "Why is this old gentleman sitting there?
Thinking about the request for a seat transfer just now, Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen's faces hurt as if they had been scratched by a cat.
Fortunately, Hong Lucheng came forward to explain. said that Shou Jingfang was not an official, and he was impatient to socialize, so it was better to let him continue to be comfortable, which maintained the status quo.
But where is this, there is even a situation behind that makes Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen even more ashamed.
Because Yang Weifan and his party were not the last guests. Then there were a few more special guests. As a result, even Xu Bingquan and his wife have to admit that they are indeed blind.
What's going on?
Just as the wedding ceremony was about to begin, a foreign old man and a foreign old lady, accompanied by a cadre-like Chinese, walked into the wedding scene from the hanging flower gate, which attracted the attention of the audience.
Don't forget, this year has just passed the era when the government needs to repeatedly publicize the "prohibition of onlookers" in order for the Chinese people to maintain restraint and politeness.
Therefore, although the common people are not like before, when they see foreigners, they are like discovering golden monkeys, and they can't move their eyes at all. But if you don't pay attention to meet one, it's enough to sneak a look at it for a while.
In addition, considering the scene environment, everyone is staring at the bride and groom with a microphone with expectant eyes, and suddenly there are so many people walking in from behind them, no one can imagine it, right?
What's more, these two foreigners are not ordinary.
The old man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, holding a bottle of foreign wine in his hand, and the old lady was wearing jewelry, drawing eyebrows and eyes, and holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
As soon as the two of them came in, they rushed to the bride and groom, and the two young people were so shocked that they flashed back.
If this can no longer be the focus of vision, it only proves that the people on the scene are blind.
So who are these two foreigners?
Hey, I don't need to talk about it. Isn't it Yuntai's classmates, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Commercial Counselor of the U.S. Embassy?
The last time they met with Yoon-tae at the Qianmen Hotel, they heard that Yoon-tae was currently living in the Hong family's old house in order to attend his nephew's wedding. The old boy Smith was tempted.
He was quite curious about the wedding of the people of the Republic and especially wanted to come.
But he thought about it again, on this day, Americans do not have a holiday, they celebrate Labor Day in September, and the embassy still has to work on May Day. I'm afraid I can't come, so I'm embarrassed to ask.
Who knew that the embassy later informed him that on the morning of May Day, he would be sent to participate in an event officially invited by the republic, and then he would be given a holiday.
In this way, he pondered, anyway, he was well dressed, so he simply went to the friendship store to buy a bottle of wine after the event, and then brought the flowers at the event site to rush over. How good is it to watch the excitement and rub the rice?
You must know that Smith is half of the Huaguotong, and he knows that Chinese people have the particularity of "reaching out and not hitting smiling people". It is impossible to kick out a visitor. And the work is diplomatic, and the skin is very thick, so there is really nothing to be embarrassed about.
Sure enough, the old boy succeeded.
Although they were uninvited, the Hong family and his wife could only receive them warmly, and Yuntai could only pinch his nose and come around.
But then again, there is an added benefit. That is, the sudden arrival of this somewhat obscene commercial counselor not only saved face for the Hong family, but also made Yuntai appear in the limelight in public.
Because in this year, the status of Americans in the world is top, not to mention official officials. Who can have such a guest without being angry?
Not to mention Xu Bingquan and his wife, even Deputy Secretary Wang and District Mayor He stood up, all smiling and wanting to let the foreign guests go to the first seat.
It's a pity that they are self-inflicted again. The two counselors of the family have a brain disease, so they have just solved the trick and come here for another official entertainment. No one pays overtime.
So not to mention Mrs. Smith, who really doesn't understand Chinese, even Smith himself began to pretend to be stupid, saying that they couldn't communicate with each other. Even if the translator persuaded them, the two of them shook their heads and said "no".
With that, Yoon-tae had to explain a few words, then discuss with the Smiths in English, and finally let them to his table.
Think about it, according to the definition of Yuntai in Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen's hearts, it is a rustic rural old man.
It's just that such a person is a classmate of the commercial counselor. And the strings in the mouth jumped out of the "bird language" one by one. Not only did the official translator not even interject. also made the counselor smile, and nodded his head like a chicken and said "yes".
What is the effect?
It's unbelievable and shocking!
This is called real people can not show their faces, and the sea water cannot be scooped!
Think about their own performance, are they ashamed or embarrassed?
Fortunately, only a handful of people knew about this transfer, otherwise they would really not be able to deal with themselves.
But no, can they blame their clumsiness?
To be really, it's all to blame for the relatives of the Hong family who are too "astringent". There is no one who is not evil in his bones!
