On the eve of Shangliang Jishi, Secretary Zhang took the leading cadres of the whole brigade and some leaders of the neighboring brigade to the scene of the new house and said congratulations to Grandpa Qian's family and Xiao Yao. Everyone was full of praise for the location of the house and the quality of the house, especially when they saw the exquisite stove, a few people immediately asked Huang Bantou to rebuild their own house as it was. Of course, Huang Bantou readily agreed. Now, not only did they get more wages, the workers worked more dedicatedly, the team was more united, and they also created a bright future for themselves.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Secretary Zhang made a speech, a few words ended, warm applause and firecrackers rang out in unison, the thick and straight beam, draped in red and hung colors, pulled by the red rope at both ends, slowly rising, at both ends of the roof, each standing a person holding a bamboo basket, grabbed a handful of candy from the bamboo basket, sprinkled to the crowd in front of the house and behind the house, many adults and all children at the scene participated in the crowd of people competing for candy.

Grandpa Qian, Uncle Qian, Aunt Xiaohui, and Xiao Yao are all toasting smokers one by one. Jing'er followed Xiao Yao obediently, and really did not leave one step. Whenever someone asked her with a smile if she was Xiao Yao's daughter-in-law, she replied very seriously, not yet, when she grew up. It made everyone laugh and their stomachs hurt. The atmosphere was very warm.

After the ceremony, all the guests came to the big table to sit down, drink tea, smoke, eat melon seeds, and wait for the banquet to begin. Huang Bantou led the workers, but he stepped up the tiling work of the main house, and some of them were laying tiles for the kitchen. The construction site is in full swing. Many children are still in front of the house and behind the house, looking for candy in the corners. Each of them had a full pocket. But candy was also a rare item at that time, of course, the more the merrier.

Ten tables of banquets, except for Xiao Yao and the team leader, who sat at two tables with eight people, the other eight tables, each table sat thirteen or fourteen people, and the cadres asked a few people to come over and sit here, but no one was willing to come. They would rather squeeze there than squeeze the leader. After all, it's the Earth Emperor. Who wants to be the one who doesn't shine in that way?

The banquet began to serve dishes, and the favor list has come out. Someone used a brush to copy on a piece of big red paper and posted it in a conspicuous position next to the door of the new house. Xiaoling and Xiaoqing came over together and handed over the small list and cash to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao glanced at it casually and was taken aback. The mantissa totaled, and there were nearly 1,000 yuan in cash, not including what was written above, all the team leaders gave a 320-pound fat pig. Among them: 100 gifts on Wednesday, 50 for Boss Cao, 20 for Huang Bantou, 420 for the brothers on Wednesday, and the rest are all over the place, each with more or less.

Xiao Yao didn't pay much attention to other gifts, and he was very uneasy about sending pigs to the team leader alone, which was to tell the captain that he would give money. He stood up, thanked the leaders of the two tables, and said:

"Leaders, your intentions, I Xiao Yao accept, you are so busy, I can come to participate in the Shangliang celebration, I am grateful, but this big fat pig, we can eat, but we can't let the leaders, give it to us to eat, Xiao Yao really can't afford this, and I hope that the leaders will take back their lives, so that I can toast you with peace of mind A few glasses of wine. ”

"Yes, Secretary Zhang. I've lived so long, and I've never heard of anyone who is on the beam, and the cadres of the brigade give gifts, and if you can invite them, it's a big face, how dare we accept such a big gift from you. ”

"Old Qian, don't talk about it, the little brother of the family is a charcoal in the snow to your family, pulling your family from the lowest to the highest. Let's all join in the fun, and it's just icing on the cake. He can set an exemplary example for our brigade, and we have a light on our faces. Xiao Yao, don't say anything uneasy, this meal, we are going to eat here anyway, or you accept this pig, or we will give 20 yuan per person, and you can do it yourself. You can't let people say that so many of our leaders are here to eat white food, right? ”

The level of the leader's speech, Xiao Yao sighed to himself. Two conditions for Xiao Yao to choose, everyone knows that they can't choose the latter one, it will only be more than a pig.

"Secretary Zhang, what you say, I don't have a choice, I obey, I will accept it, in the future, if there is anything that I Xiao Yao can do, the leaders will be tribal. I will do it with all my might. ”

As soon as the four dishes are served, everyone is ready to go. For a time, the toast continued. Xiao Ling and Jing'er, just like last time, sat around Xiao Yao. In the process of Xiao Yao's toast, Xiao Ling quietly told Jing'er from behind Xiao Yao not to let Xiao Yao drink more for a while. Jing'er shook her head, walked to Xiaoling's side, and said in her ear:

"My mother said, today, don't let me don't let Brother Xiao drink, saying that it is a major event in the family. Brother Xiao is on behalf of the master, and if he doesn't drink, it's rude. ”

"However, if you drink like this, your brother Xiao will definitely get drunk. ”

Xiaoling's worries are definitely not superfluous. At the beginning of the banquet, Xiao Yao took the initiative to toast each of the team cadres, and Wednesday, Boss Cao and Huang Bantou didn't accept it.

After the halfway of drinking, Grandpa Qian called Uncle Qian and Aunt Xiaohui together, and took Xiao Yao, Jing'er and Xiaoling to each table to toast everyone. Grandpa Qian drinks a little less every time, and Aunt Xiaohui is also wine, but after a shallow taste, Uncle Qian can only replace the wine with tea, but Xiao Yao must drink a full cup every time, otherwise he can't go, everyone disagrees. Only put Xiaoling and Jing'er, looking at it in a hurry.

After a lap, Xiao Yao drank ten glasses of liquor, but fortunately, no one asked for a separate salute when toasting, otherwise Xiao Yao was afraid that he would not be able to return to his wine table.

When I saw Xiao Yao coming back on Wednesday, he was a little unsteady walking. knew that Xiao Yao couldn't drink anymore. He deliberately didn't want Xiao Yao to drink anymore. I discussed with Secretary Zhang, who was sitting next to him, but I didn't expect the secretary to laugh and say loudly, we must get Xiao Yao drunk today, so that it can be seen that all of us are enthusiastic about Xiao Yao's arrival, we are more than 100 locals, and we can't drink down a provincial city.

Under Secretary Zhang's bold words, and also under Secretary Zhang's example, starting from the cadres of the brigade, to Boss Cao, Huang Bantou and Wednesday's brothers, they came over to toast like a marquee. What everyone said was high-sounding and reasonable, and the cadres of the foreign brigade were adding fuel to the fire, but Xiao Yao was disrespectful and deserved, so he could only speak for himself.

Seeing Xiao Yao on Wednesday, the eighth master was not at home, and the wine master was in charge, he couldn't stop Xiao Yao from continuing to drink, so he could only pour the wine bottle for Xiao Yao, pour less, and less.

Seeing this scene, not only did Xiaoling and Jing'er be anxious, but Aunt Xiaohui and Uncle Qian, who saw it from afar, were also very anxious. Grandpa Qian is full of spring breeze, old and strong, and cheers with everyone to encourage Xiao Yao to drink again.

"Brother Xiao, you can't drink anymore, Brother Xiao is drunk, what should Jing'er do?"

Xiao Yao drank a few more glasses, Jing'er couldn't help it, and she didn't care about her mother's instructions. She held her head high, looked at Xiao Yao, hugged his waist, and began to be coquettish.

Xiao Yao was standing and clinking glasses and drinking with others, and when he saw Jing'er hugging him, he habitually bent down to hug Jing'er, but unexpectedly, he was top-heavy, staggered, stepped back, brought the bench down, and fell to the ground with a bang. Jing'er hugged Xiao Yao, she didn't think about letting go at all, she fell on Xiao Yao, sat on the bench, and Xiao Ling, who was watching Xiao Yao drinking, fell on Xiao Yao's side unprepared.

The three fell to the ground and became a mess, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
