When the old rice noodle shop opened, Wang Bo only invited a few "creditors" from his mother's maternal uncle to come over to support him. At that time, because the business of the rice noodle shop was booming, he couldn't get out of the way, and he didn't have time to invite his relatives to dinner, so he took a big bowl of rice noodles and ate it alone.
With the opening of the flagship store this time, Wang Bo didn't want to be so shabby and so evil (pitiful) like last time, and he planned to invite everyone who should be invited.
First of all, it is his mother's six brothers and sisters, four uncles and two mothers, these are Wang Bo's closest relatives besides his parents, and they are also his "creditors" and benefactors.
Secondly, it is the family of several female generals under him. The opening of the flagship store, from the initial store leasing to the decoration and molding, several female generals, especially Tian Xin and Guan Ping, participated from beginning to end, soaked in their time and hard work. On the day of tomorrow's grand opening, a day destined to leave a deep mark on his life and leave a huge commemorative significance, Wang Bo hopes that several of his employees and their families can also witness and share together. And in his imagination, as an employee himself, he probably hopes that his parents can know what kind of place they work in and be proud of it.
When Wang Bo told Tian Xin and the others the news two days in advance, and asked them to call their parents to the Quartet for lunch on August 30, as he expected, several female generals were a little surprised at first, and immediately burst into cheers after reacting.
Xie Ying immediately began to ask Zhong Xiaomin for help, and asked her to tell her second aunt, that is, Wang Bo's second uncle Zeng Fanyou, and asked the second aunt to go to her home to inform her parents.
Tian Xin said to Wang Bo, "You still have a little conscience", and then happily picked up the phone in the store and began to call her mother Yao Shuqin.
Li Cui's family had neither a phone nor anyone who could talk to her, so she was in a hurry, and when Wang Bo saw it, he gave her an idea and said that he should go to Chen Jiliang, and let Chen Jiliang go to Huaying and inform her of the old man Li Zhonghua. When Li Cui heard this, she felt that this was a good idea, and her face turned cloudy, so she immediately looked for Guan Ping and asked Guan Ping to lend her bicycle to herself after work. After Wang Bo changed the shotgun to the current seven-speed mountain bike, the previous second-hand lady's car was given to Guan Ping.
Of course, Guan Ping had no opinion, took out the car keys and was about to give them to Li Cui, but was pulled by Wang Bo.
"Sister Cui, ride my race car (Sifang likes to call mountain bikes racing cars), hurry up!" Wang Bo took out his car key and handed it to Li Cui.
Li Cui was overjoyed, Wang Bo's extremely popular mountain bike she had long wanted to try how comfortable it was, but she was embarrassed to open her mouth for the sake of face. Now that Wang Bo took the initiative to lend her his car to ride, Li Cui couldn't be more excited. She happily took the key, thanking and reassuring her that she must be careful and promise not to stain the flowers.
Li Cui's excited expression made Wang Bo's heart flutter. He can understand Li Cui's mood at this time, because he had it in his previous life. It's a pity that his cousin's mountain bike in his previous life was just a fantasy in his dream, and he witnessed the car go from new to old, and finally turned into a pile of scrap metal and sold to the waste collector, and he never had the opportunity to ride it once, and he had a good time.
Tian Xin, Li Cui and Xie Ying all found a way to inform their parents, but Guan Ping sat quietly on the side, quietly watching the sisters happily or on the phone, or asking for favors. Guan Ping had a smile on her face, but in Wang Bo's opinion, that smile seemed so fragile and small, which made people feel distressed.
Wang Bo walked over, sat down in front of Guan Ping, and said softly, "Sister Ping, why don't I ask Sister Cui to let Li Bo go to your house and inform your father?"
Guan Ping thought about it, her white teeth bit her red lips, and finally smiled toothily, but shook her head. "No, Bo'er, just let my dad take care of my mom at home. According to my father's character, if Uncle Li went to inform him, he would definitely come to join in the fun. What if he ran into my mom when he was in the Quartet...... Let's not tell him. ”
Wang Bo actually didn't want to see Guan Yongxiang, the "old horseman", as soon as Guan Ping said this, he no longer persuaded him, because Guan Ping's worries were not unreasonable, in case Guan Yongxiang ran to the Quartet to eat and drink, his mother-in-law was in pain in his hometown, once something was good, he was worried that Guan Yongxiang would mention a kitchen knife to hack Guan Ping to death.
"Okay, Sister Ping. But you don't have any regrets, there will be many opportunities like this in the future, and when the second and third stores open, let's call Uncle Guan and Mao Niang to come together. Wang Bo put his right hand on Guan Ping's hand, patted it, and comforted.
"Well, thank you, Bo'er!" Guan Ping smiled reluctantly, but the smile was desolate.
In addition to the family members of his uncle and mother-in-law and employees, on the stepfather's side, in the guest list, there are Wang Bo's baby (godfather) family, a comrade-in-arms who is the village chief's family, his Fa Xiaozhang Jifa and Li Guilan's family, and Wang Bo's neighbor Chen Jiliang's family, a total of four families.
And when I asked Wang Bo's aunt, Wang Jichang's own sister Wang Jifeng, Wang Jichang had a different opinion with Wang Bo.
"No, I'm too lazy to please!" Wang Jichang said directly, huffing. Obviously, the ridicule and ridicule he received when he went to Wang Jifeng to borrow money a month ago is still "fresh in his memory" and has not completely forgotten it.
Wang Bo's family has the same kind of character, or many people in the Quartet have this kind of personality tendency, that is, they are very good at talking to everyone on weekdays, but they can't mix with others (make contradictions), once they talk about it, it will take many years to restore the relationship. In Wang Bo's memory, his eldest uncle and second uncle had a mixed affair, and the two families ignored each other for seven or eight years before they began to slowly ease. Wang Bo's family and Wang Jichang's eldest brother, that is, Wang Bo's uncle, the two families have also quarreled over some trivial things, and now three or four years have passed, and the two families also dislike each other and have no contact.
The last time Wang Jichang ate a closed-door soup at his sister's place, it was a heart-wrenching and uncomfortable, if Wang Jichang's living situation did not change at all, and he still created evil as before, pitiful, he would definitely swallow this anger, just like he did countless times in his previous life. Because he can't do without his sister, he needs to go to his sister's house from time to time to pick up old clothes and take them home for his mother-in-law and children and himself to wear.
But now, today is different from the past, Wang Jichang feels that he can completely say that he can't tell his sister, and he can stop swallowing his anger at all and look at the face of his sister's family. Wang Jichang, who was rejected and slapped in the face when he borrowed money the first two times, still feels spicy and fresh in his memory, why does he bother to find this unhappy?
Wang Bo is also a person who holds a grudge in his bones. Whoever is good to him, he will remember it for the rest of his life, and do his best to repay this favor and kindness; whoever treats him badly, he will also remember it for a lifetime, and whether he takes revenge or not, it is another matter, but it is true that he does not associate with the other party. The aunt's family, at present, is generally more kind than grudge to his family.
is still the same sentence, people borrow money is love, not borrowing is duty, Wang Bo has always been very clear about this kind of thing.
"Dad, no matter what, my aunt is still my aunt, and I'm still your sister. In the past, when our family was in difficulty, my aunt helped us a lot, and we can't forget our roots. The opening of the flagship store is not as small as the opening of the old store, such a big thing, the entire Sifang City will probably be alarmed, our family has invited so many people, and the only one who does not invite the aunt is them, if they know, will you be angry? Will you blame us for not being humane? Say we are ungrateful?" Wang Bo began to persuade his stepfather.
"Unthankful? The vegetables I send him every year, the new rice I send, is there still a shortage? Like the loofah in June and July, I myself am reluctant to eat it, just a foot long, I picked it and asked you to send it to her, did I still kidnap (wrong) her? There was something good in the house, and no one else thought of it, the first thing that came to mind was her, and what do you want me to do to her? Instead, I borrowed some money from her, just like asking for her life, if I didn't borrow it, I wouldn't borrow it, and I had to say something that despised (despised) me, for fear that I couldn't afford to pay her back! Bo'er, you old man and I have been so sloppy for so many years, it is your aunt's bright eyes (contempt). She wants to believe me and lend me money to do business early, I have already developed, why do I need to wait until today?" Wang Bo didn't expect that his words were like a lit match, igniting the gunpowder packet, and directly blew up Wang Jichang, and the resentment and unhappiness in his heart gushed towards him like a flood.
Wang Jichang's words, frankly speaking, although Wang Bo felt a little funny after listening to it, he still felt quite sad when he saw his stepfather reveal his heart and resentment in front of him that he had never revealed, although some of them had strong personal feelings and were not necessarily facts.
Just like my stepfather said, my own family and my aunt's family, whether psychologically or in action, are completely treated as guests. Fresh vegetables, the best rice, personally fed, chickens and ducks that my family will never be willing to eat, eggs and duck eggs, although they may not be worth two dollars, are sent to my aunt's house as soon as possible every year. My aunt treats guests every year, and my stepfather also rides to his sister's house to help before dawn. And on weekdays, once her sister has any calling, her stepfather runs more actively than anyone else, and he can't make money, but he is definitely a powerful contribution.
But how can the aunt's family treat their own family? Of course, the absolute value of the old clothes and old leather shoes that the stepfather picks up from her house every year must definitely exceed the vegetables, chickens, and ducks that he gave him, but one of them is something that he is reluctant to eat, and the other is not used, and even if he throws it into the trash, it doesn't matter.
But the social reality is like this, rural people face urban people, low-level people face high-level people, if you want to get material compensation, you don't have to think about equality, self-esteem and so on. There is no shortage of material and money, and you can't take it out, the only thing you can exchange for is careful "service" and personal self-esteem.
"Dad, there is a saying that 'people can be unkind to me, I can't be unjust to others'. No matter what my aunt says, she is also your sister and our dearest. Now our life is much better than before, if we break up with my aunt at this moment, and the two families do not get along with each other for old age, how will the people around us think of us? They will not know that your aunt does not support you and does not lend you money, but they will only see that you are now developed, and they will begin to be unkind and unjust, and their relatives will not recognize you. Therefore, we still have to invite my aunt's family. It's their business whether they come or not, but whether they want to invite or not is our business. Let's do our best, and let others judge the rest. Wang Bo continued to enlighten his stepfather.
Wang Jichang is a good-looking person, and the big call just now was basically angry talk, and he felt a lot better after venting. But it is impossible for him to change his course immediately, and he can't pull down this face even if he is an old man in front of his stepson. Wang Jichang still had a straight face, and said unhappily:
"Please, please, I can't cut it anyway!"
"That's going to happen, Dad, I'm going to ask my aunt this time. ”
