"Then I'll go first. ”

Liu Shuying didn't think much about it, she went home and took Ma Xiaodong with her, and then wrapped a red envelope and went to Zhao Zhigao's house.

Which family in Yuehu Village holds a happy event, if it can put six tables of banquets, then there are many relatives and friends in this family, and the only one who can put more than ten tables is Zhao Zhigao's family.

Today, there are fifteen tables in the courtyard of Zhao Zhigao's house, which is unprecedented in the history of Yuehu Village.

Zhao Zhigao has been the village chief for 30 years, and he knows a lot in the entire Dongkou Town, and his contacts are extremely broad. Basically, one person from every family in the village came, accounting for about seven or eight tables. The rest are all friends of Zhao Zhigao.

Zhao Zhigao put on a brand-new white shirt and black trousers today, standing outside the door to greet the guests, an old face as if he was suddenly a few years younger, and his smile was extraordinarily bright.

Seeing Luo Xu coming, Zhao Zhigao greeted him from afar, walked closer, and immediately enthusiastically placed a cigarette.

"Lao Zhao, it's upgraded!"

Luo Xu looked at the Great China in his hand, this cigarette Zhao Zhigao can't afford to smoke.

Zhao Zhigao smiled: "Don't laugh at me, it's been a while since I quit smoking, you don't know, this cigarette is just to decorate the façade." ”

Walking into the yard, Luo Xu saw so many people, and hurriedly said, "Yo, it's very lively!"

Zhao Zhigao said: "Relatives and friends are very popular. Xiao Luo, I have reserved a place for you, at the table in the hall. ”

Fifteen tables of banquets, the house must not be placed, so there are also a number of tables outside, with awnings on top to block the sun, and a few big fans are placed next to it.

Luo Xu walked into the courtyard and greeted him with many people. Every family in the village has people who work on his plantation, and when he sees the boss, he should say hello.

When he came to the hall, Luo Xu saw Liu Shuying, and Liu Shuying was also arranged at the main table. As today's protagonist, Zhao Shu is gone.

"Where's Xiaoshu?" Luo Xu turned his head and asked Zhao Zhigao.

Zhao Zhigao said: "That child is afraid of life, so if she doesn't come down, she will play games upstairs with the tablet you gave her, and she will start playing from the beginning, but she won't let go." ”

"Then let her play. ”

Luo Xu thought to himself that it would be fine, if Zhao Shu found out that he and Liu Shuying were sitting at the same table, maybe there would be some kind of trouble.

Zhao Zhigao arranged for Luo Xu to sit down, and actually arranged Luo Xu to sit next to Liu Shuying. It stands to reason that there is no problem for him to arrange it this way, Liu Shuying is now the village chief of Yuehu Village, and it can be said that he is the parent official of the people of Yuehu Village, and Luo Xu is the parent of many people in the entire Yuehu Village.

Both of them can be said to be very important figures, and it is natural to sit together.

"Lao Zhao, this position is not suitable for me!"

Luo Xu refused to sit down, Zhao Zhigao left him the top position, he thought he was not qualified to sit in this position.

Zhao Zhigao said: "Xiao Luo, except for you today, no one is more qualified to sit in this position than you! You sit here steadily!"

After some pushing, Luo Xu couldn't shirk it, so he had to sit down at the top.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Shuying said in his ear: "How much dowry did you pay?"

Luo Xu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he didn't bring a red envelope.

"Oops, I forgot about it. ”

Liu Shuying smiled: "I knew you would forget, so I prepared one more, there wasn't much money in it, and I wrapped it for five hundred yuan." ”

Liu Shuying handed the red envelope to Luo Xu offstage.

Luo Xu got up and walked out, found Zhao Zhigao who greeted the guests at the door, and handed the red envelope to Zhao Zhigao. Liu Shuying wrote Luo Xu's name on Luo Xu's red envelope, and the courtesy was exchanged, if Luo Xu had any happy events in the future, Zhao Zhigao would repay this favor, so he would write his name on the red envelope when giving the red envelope.

"Xiao Luo, what kind of red envelope do you give! I sent so many things last night, which is already very valuable, I can't ask for this red envelope!"

"If you don't, I won't be eating this meal. Lao Zhao, you can watch it!" Luo Xu said.

Zhao Zhigao had no choice but to put down the red envelope and said, "It's hot outside, you go in and sit, the banquet will start in a while." ”

In the yard, two fat cooks are stir-frying and cooking around two big stoves, they are all assistants invited by Zhao Zhigao from the town, tables, chairs, benches, dishes and chopsticks are provided by them, meat and vegetables are also provided by them, and even the personnel who serve the dishes are also provided by the assistants, which can be said to be a one-stop service.

Nowadays, most of the banquets in the countryside are held in this way, which saves worry and effort.

The fire in the two large stoves was blazing, and a few meters away, Luo Xu could feel the heat wave sweeping in.

I returned to the hall and sat down, and a few minutes later, a string of firecrackers was set off, and the banquet began. The cold dishes have already been put on the table, and except for Liu Shuying, the rest of the people at the table with Luo Xu are all cadres of the town government.

Luo Xu didn't know much, but Liu Shuying often dealt with them, so she was very familiar with them.

During the banquet, everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and Luo Xu drank all the cadres of the town government on the table alone.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhao Zhigao took the wine bottle and the wine glass and began to toast from table to table, looking at his posture today, it seems that he is ready to drink heartily.

The dishes in the countryside are very affordable, basically all of them are big meat, and the portions are very large, but they don't appeal to Luo Xu's appetite, he ate for about an hour and left.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that Zhao Zhigao's house quieted down. Zhao Zhigao drank a lot of wine today, a full eight taels, and surprisingly, he was not drunk.

This is not that Zhao Zhigao is good at drinking, in fact, since he retired, he basically stopped drinking, and the amount of alcohol has been regressing. The reason why he can drink so much today is because the bottle in his hand is filled with diluted wine, which is actually about the same degree as beer.

Zhao Zhigao didn't want to be so drunk that he was carried to bed on this day when he showed his face.

Luo Xu took a nap and woke up in the evening. He heard a noise in the courtyard, and when he went out to look, he found that many villagers had gathered.

Luo Xu listened for a while, and then realized that Liu Shuying was discussing with them the issue of installing street lights in the village.

All the villagers raised their hands in favor of installing street lights in the village, and where they disagreed, Liu Shuying proposed to divide the electricity bill from house to house. Free benefits, no one is too much, once you let yourself out of pocket, the nature is different.

"Village chief, we ordinary people have worked hard enough, so you don't want to exploit us anymore, okay?"

"I think if the electricity bill is divided equally, this street lamp should not be installed, there have been no street lights for so many years, and we have come over, right?"
