Shen Shuzhen's hands and feet were very nimble, and it didn't take long for her to make a large table of dishes with good color and fragrance, and Yang Juan and Gong Lili helped bring the dishes from the kitchen to the big eight immortals table in the living room.

Shen Shuzhen stood at the door of the kitchen and shouted: "There is only the last soup left, stop playing chess soon, wash your hands and eat." ”

On both sides of the chessboard, it was Ding Yuejin and Gong Jingtian's turn to play, and everyone else was on the side, Ding Yuejin replied: "Don't rush, I must win this game." ”

It turned out that Ding Yuejin had just played three games in a row with Gong Jingtian, lost three games in a row, and lost red-eyed, this game finally took advantage of Gong Jingtian's negligence, stole a horse, and gained the upper hand, but he heard his wife call them to eat, how could he give up? So subconsciously refused.

Shen Shuzhen is a pungent person, as soon as she heard Ding Yuejin's words, her willow eyebrows suddenly rose upside: "Yuejin, it's not me talking about you, you are the master today, everyone comes to your house to eat, not to play chess!" ”

When Ding Yuejin heard his wife's roar, he woke up suddenly, he got up and said, "Yes, yes, everyone go to the table to eat." Lao Gong, this game of chess should be kept, and we will play it again after eating. ”

Gong Jingtian smiled: "Okay, this game of chess is put like this, continue after eating!" ”

Ding Hongxing forced a smile and began to put up the dishes and chopsticks, reborn more than 20 years ago, although life is not as rich as the era he came, but to be able to see such a warm atmosphere at home again, it really makes him too satisfied.

Everyone washed their hands and served the table, Ding Hongxing took the initiative to take two bottles of Jiangcheng spring wine, opened one bottle, and poured wine for the four old men, everyone saw that he poured wine decently, Gong Jingtian, who knew Ding Hongxing very well, couldn't help but praise: "Hongxing is really sensible, it seems that saving people in the river that time made you grow up!" ”

Kong Zhaoqiang picked up his wine glass and said to Ding Yuejin and Ding Hongxing, father and son: "Come, I'll toast you first, if it weren't for you, my life would be gone!" ”

Yang Juan also took a wine glass, poured a glass herself, and said: "I have to accompany this glass of wine, if Zhao Qiang is gone, I really don't know what to do!" ”

Ding Yuejin picked up the wine glass, Ding Hongxing poured himself a glass of soda, and also picked up the glass, Kong Zhaoqiang said: "Hongxing, you also drink some wine!" ”

Ding Hongxing glanced at his parents in embarrassment and said, "I'm still a student, so I can't drink." ”

Kong Zhaoqiang said: "Hongxing is sixteen years old this year, right? I've been drinking since your age. ”

Gong Jingtian also said: "Yes, Hongxing is so sensible, he can be regarded as an adult, and he can drink." ”

Ding Yuejin waved his hand and said, "Red Star, then you will have a drink with your Uncle Kong today." ”

Shen Shuzhen glanced at the father and son, didn't say anything, she personally took an empty wine glass, poured a glass of wine, put it in front of Ding Hongxing, and then poured herself a glass of wine, and said, "Come, I'll also accompany a cup." ”

Shen Shuzhen grew up in a factory, so she has a hearty personality and usually doesn't drink, but when she encounters this kind of occasion, she is not ambiguous.

Ding Hongxing knew that his parents let him drink today, which was a kind of recognition of him in a certain way, which meant that they no longer regarded him as an ignorant child. He picked up his glass of wine, touched it with Kong Zhaoqiang, and then raised his head and drank it all.

The wine made the atmosphere in the banquet warm all of a sudden, Ding Yuejin and Gong Jingtian were both workers, and after a day of labor, the biggest enjoyment was to drink a few glasses of wine, and the amount of wine was naturally good, and Ding Yuanchao and Kong Zhaoqiang were born as soldiers, and the amount of alcohol was also exercised.

Although Ding Yuejin let Ding Hongxing drink a glass of wine, Ding Hongxing was only sixteen years old after all, and he was a middle school student, so Ding Hongxing also drank that glass of wine, and he never drank it again, he became a wine officer and was responsible for pouring wine.

After three rounds of drinking, Kong Zhaoqiang asked: "I remember that when I went out to serve as a soldier, the Red Star Machinery Factory was still very prosperous, why is it like this now?" ”

Ding Yuejin and Gong Jingtian glanced at each other, shook their heads together and sighed, Ding Yuejin said: "It's hard to say!" ”

Gong Jingtian said bitterly: "On this issue, our factory leaders are mainly responsible. ”

Ding Yuejin hurriedly said: "Secretary Gong, this has nothing to do with you, you don't care about production and sales, the factory has become like this, it is completely the result of some people's nonsense." ”

Ding Hongxing knew that some of the people Ding Yuejin was talking about were some factory leaders headed by Zhang Guoqing, the director of the factory, who harmed the interests of the Red Star Factory for their own selfish interests and made a mess of the Red Star Factory.

Of course, the Red Star Factory has fallen to this point today, but also because of some common problems of state-owned enterprises, such as aging equipment, backward technology, heavy burden, sales and management problems, in short, can not adapt to the current trend of reform and opening up, and lack of sufficient competitiveness in the competition with foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises.

Gong Jingtian shook his head and said: "I have to bear at least a lot of responsibility, after all, I am the secretary of the party committee!" ”

Kong Zhaoqiang asked this sentence just now, but he just said it casually, and at this time, seeing that it caused such a big reaction from Ding Yuejin and Gong Jingtian, the atmosphere in the banquet also became dull, and he hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said, "Come on, let's drink together!" ”

Gong Jingtian raised his head and drank a glass of wine, let out a long breath, his depressed mood was a little better, and he smiled and said to Ding Yuejin: "Yuejin, there is good news for you." ”

Ding Yuejin asked, "What's the good news?" ”

Gong Jingtian said: "Yesterday, the factory leaders passed a resolution, because you usually work seriously and responsibly, this time you are outstanding in flood fighting and rescue, and decided to promote you to be the workshop director of a workshop!" ”

This is indeed a good news, Ding Yuejin's technology is very good in the Red Star Factory, and it is also very prestigious among the workers, but because the personality is too upright, it has not been reused, so many years have only served as the deputy director of the workshop of the third workshop, this time he was able to serve as the workshop director of the most important workshop of the Red Star Factory, one reason is that he has an excellent performance in the flood fighting and rescue this time, and his deeds have even been on the news of the provincial TV station, and have also been highly praised by the city leaders, In addition, it is also because Gong Jingtian and other more upright factory leaders have supported him.

Of course, Ding Yuejin understood Gong Jingtian's role in it, he picked up a glass of wine and said to Gong Jingtian: "Secretary Gong, thank you!" ”

Gong Jingtian said: "You don't have to thank me, I said something about your promotion, but I didn't recommend you because of our personal relationship, I think you can be qualified for this position." So when you take office, you must work hard to prove that I didn't recommend the wrong person! ”

Ding Yuejin drank this glass of wine with Gong Jingtian, nodded heavily, and said: "Secretary Gong, please rest assured, I will definitely not live up to your trust!" ”

Ding Yuejin was about to be promoted, and everyone at the banquet congratulated him and toasted him.

Ding Hongxing smiled: "I heard that Uncle Kong is also going to be promoted!" ”

Everyone looked at Kong Zhaoqiang again, and Kong Zhaoqiang smiled: "What hasn't been announced yet, you said it so quickly!" ”

After seeing Kong Zhaoqiang's appearance, everyone knew that what Ding Hongxing said was true, and they coaxed and toasted Kong Zhaoqiang.

Kong Zhaoqiang drank a few glasses of wine, he picked up a glass of wine and said to Ding Yuejin and Ding Hongxing: "Come, I will toast your father and son again, if it weren't for you, how could I still have a chance to be promoted?" It is estimated that only Yang Juan's mother and son are left in the family, and the orphans and widows are living in fear. ”

As soon as she said this, Yang Juan's eyes turned red, she quickly turned her head, of course she was happy that her husband was promoted, but she knew that her husband's promotion this time was completely desperate, and she also snuggled in her husband's arms and cried in the dead of night, so that he would never work so hard in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Juan is full of gratitude to the Ding family father and son.

Shen Shuzhen hurriedly comforted Yang Juan in a low voice: "Sister, today is a happy day, don't cry!" ”

Yang Juan wiped a handful of tears, poured herself a glass of wine with a smile and said, "Come, I will also accompany Zhaoqiang to pay tribute to Brother Ding and Hongxing again, thank you!" ”

After drinking this glass of wine, the two bottles of Jiangcheng Chun brought by Ding Yuanchao bottomed out, but everyone was still unsatisfied, so Ding Yuejin asked Ding Hongxing to go to the commissary outside the door to buy two bottles of Guicheng Daqu and come back and continue to drink.

Guicheng Daqu is very cheap, but it costs more than a bottle for a dollar, but at this time, of course, everyone doesn't care what kind of wine they drink, Shen Shuzhen and Yang Juan usually control the amount of alcohol their husbands drink, and they are happy today, so they don't say anything to disappoint their fun.

In this way, the wine was drunk until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone drank a total of two bottles of Jiangchengchun and three bottles of Guicheng Daqu, which was enjoyable.

Rao is several people drank well, and they all stumbled a little at this time, Yang Juan helped her husband to be the first to say goodbye, Gong Lili helped her father to go home, and Shen Shuzhen asked Ding Hongxing to send the eldest uncle Ding Yuan home.

When Ding Hongxing came home after sending his uncle, he saw that his father was already lying on a bamboo bed in the hall, snoring, and falling asleep, while his mother was busy cleaning up the mess.
