After breakfast, it was already nine o'clock, which was just the right time.
Liu Wanru cleaned up all the dishes and chopsticks to clean them, and Liu Xiaohui went into the kitchen at all, obviously to help.
Yang Rui silently observed Liu Xiaohai, who was sitting not far away, the number of times he and Liu Xiaohai talked was one of the few, the main thing was that everyone had no common language to talk about.
Looking at the yellow hair on Liu Xiaohai's head, Yang Rui felt a little powerless in his heart, speaking of which, among the head shapes he hated the most, the washing, cutting and blowing definitely accounted for a large part.
As far as Yang Rui personally thinks, this washing, cutting and blowing is no longer publicizing the so-called personality, but publicizing how much you are guilty. Fortunately, Yang Rui doesn't see too much of this head shape, and this is also related to the lack of time Yang Rui has to do with going out, and there are fewer people he meets when he goes out.
"Xiaohai, how about you learn to repair cars?" Yang Rui's tone was very kind, in fact, this was also asked by Liu Wanru to ask, after all, he was still very concerned about his younger brother.
How much money does this job make from repairing cars? There is no doubt about this, if this technology is good, then a few thousand a month is for sure, and it is normal to have more than 10,000 people, your skills are poor, and it is better than working from 9 to 5.
Moreover, there is a stronger thing than going to work, which is that you do more and take more! What kind of company do you work in, there are so many leadership positions, you have so much room to go up, and you can't guarantee that you can grasp it, maybe you will still be in that position for a few years in a company.
In fact, Yang Rui thinks that Liu Xiaohai is no longer studying and going to learn to repair cars, at least he will definitely not worry about his future life. Three hundred and sixty lines, the line has money to make, isn't it!
"Very good!"
Yang Rui squinted his eyes and could see that this kid didn't want to talk about this matter too much! Since he said that he didn't want to talk about it, Yang Rui didn't force it, and said: "Then study hard, and you can make a lot of money by learning it." ”
He doesn't like to comfort people or anything, since you have chosen the path of this life, then how to go in the future is your own business.
After packing up her things at home, Liu Wanru proposed the gifts she bought in the county seat yesterday, including liquor, health products, and some food, which cost a lot of money, which looked like more than 1,000 yuan.
In the countryside, this gift really doesn't cost much, you give dozens of yuan is also a gift, and a few hundred yuan is also a gift. Etiquette is light, this sentence is still marketable in the countryside, I don't want to be in the city, you are embarrassed to sell if you have less money.
To be honest, many of these traditional things really only exist in the countryside.
It's just that I don't know how long such a tradition can still exist.
Today, Liu Wanru is the birthday banquet of the eldest father, this is quite big, because there is no so-called official in the family, this birthday banquet or something, it is done casually.
The plan is to hold sixty tables, eight people per table, this is five hundred and forty people, and this one is also I don't know if I can get such people; Yang Rui actually doesn't know, he really doesn't know much about the relatives of the Liu family, but he has seen the three uncles of the Liu family, they all live in the same village, and they are not too far apart.
As for those Liu Wanru's aunts, they are all married, and they should come today.
As for the other relatives, Yang Rui didn't know.
However, since there are fifty tables prepared, it must have been taken into account, and it is scary enough to think about it, and there are more than 500 people in this village.
Carrying large bags and small bags, Yang Rui and the four of them walked along the small road in the countryside to Liu Wanru's father's house; The distance between the two families is not too far, one is at one end of the village, the other is at the other end of the village, there is something to do, then it is okay to just shout.
"It's like I'm back!"
"Yes, the second aunt is feeding the pigs?" Walking in front of a house, I heard someone greeting Liu Wanru, and Liu Wanru also responded very enthusiastically; These are all elders, and this is a life for generations, which is strictly speaking, all relatives.
Although it is called Liujia Village, the first surname in the village is also surnamed Liu, but there are other surnames in this one, but it is just that these surnames have intermarried with each other in the past, which can be said to be tied to each other.
"It's like this is coming back specifically to give birth to your father?"
"Hehe, I haven't seen my dad for a few years, come back and take a look." Liu Wanru smiled reservedly, there were too many people greeting along the way, and Liu Wanru responded enthusiastically every time.
Sometimes, some people will also say that Shangliu is like coming back with a boyfriend, and Yang Rui will also say hello on the side.
When I walked to Liu Wanru's father Liu Zhisen's house, it could be said that it was quite lively. This person hasn't come yet, but if dozens of people are busy, this is also spectacular.
The tables, chairs and benches are completely opened, and there must be no place in this room, but fortunately there is a large courtyard dam, which completely puts this down.
After Yang Rui looked around, he had a familiar feeling when he looked at the scene in front of him, he had already participated in this kind of rural banquet many times when he was young, and every time at this time, he would invite people from the village to help.
The steaming steamer, the big iron pot burning on the fire, and the women cutting the vegetables, a scene of a rural banquet.
Many people have a bad impression of this rural banquet, but in fact, there is a big misunderstanding; If there is a banquet in the countryside, there are only a few situations, that is, red and white, and this one must be opened. And to get married, this is a wedding banquet, it depends on the situation of your own family, anyway, you always have to invite people from the family to dinner.
As for the funeral, it has to be done by the elderly.
And to hold a birthday banquet, this is also to be old, in one, for example, when a man turns twenty, you can hold a small thing.
The most lively thing is like now, the big birthday. As for the kind of birthday banquets that are thirty or forty, they are purely blind, and they will not be able to handle it in the countryside.
"It's like it's here!"
Liu Wanru is very familiar with her father's home, although there is a patriarchal habit in the countryside, but there has been a great change in recent decades; Perhaps this is also related to the family of adopted sons that have appeared in recent years, and these sons have not brought any benefits to the family, but they still have to find the family for everything.
And the family that raised the daughter, this daughter got married, and she also thought about the family, not only gave money to the family, but also bought a large bag of things every time she came.
With contrast, there is a choice; This naturally thinks it's better to raise a daughter now.
"Dad!"
Liu Wanru looked at the eldest father sitting in the hall, and several old people from the village talked together; There are not many old people in the village now.
handed the gift in his hand to the eldest mother, and at the same time gave the eldest lady a thousand yuan.
Although the eldest lady was surprised that this Nizi gave so much, but she didn't shirk it and put it away, this rural birthday banquet, when you receive gifts, you won't say how much money you give for the gift letter, and the host will just put the money away.
"What about Yang Rui?" Although Liu Zhisen is old, his eyes are still good, and after looking at it, he didn't see Yang Rui, so he asked with some surprise.
Liu Zhisen is still very satisfied with Yang Rui, although most of the chatting with him is his own talk, but others can listen to you seriously.
I heard that he is still the principal of a school, which is good.
"Eh, Yang Rui is talking to the third father outside!" After Liu Wanru finished speaking, she was not going to stay in the house for long, this hall was full of old men, and there was nothing to talk about when she stayed with them.
After going out, Liu Wanru found Yang Rui, who was standing under a walnut tree and chatting happily with his third father.
The third father is now in his fifties, in fact, the age gap between their brothers is quite large, and this is also related to the grandfather, who used to take two wives.
For example, the sixth father was born to the second mother-in-law, but the grandfather died more than 20 years ago, and the young second mother-in-law also died more than ten years ago.
"What are you talking about?"
Liu Wanru looked at the third father, the third father opened a shop for slaughtering chickens and ducks in the county, this business is still very good, in addition to this, he will also marinate some pork or something to sell. This time, my father passed away, and the braised vegetables and other things at this banquet were all made by the third father.
Anyway, speaking of which, the third father is still a very capable person, and he bought a house in the city, and this household registration or something moved to the city early.
Of course, this household registration has been moved to the city, but when there is something in the village, it will also contribute. For example, two years ago, the village wanted to build this small road, and each family had to give 2,000 yuan, and the third father also gave it.
"Hehe, talk to the third father casually."
"By the way, Third Dad, is Liu Yang coming back today?" Liu Wanru asked, Liu Yang, speaking of which, she is one year older than Liu Wanru, but Liu Wanru has never called her sister, and she has been called by her name directly since she was a child.
As for the reason, it was when I was a child, two little girls fought over things; It's been called this for so many years, and there is no need to correct it anyway.
"She, after hearing that you were back last night, she said she would be back today." Liu Zhihong smiled, these two women, when they were young, they always liked to do it against each other, this toy or something, they all had to grab it; But this relationship is also the best, in this family, compared to other families, the Liu family is very good, the brothers are harmonious, when there is something to do, the brothers will help each other.
"Hehe, call her later, and ask her to bring Xiao Zhi back."
Xiao Zhi, this is Liu Yang's son, who is four years old this year! I saw it last time Liu Wanru came back, and it was very cute at the time.
After chatting with the third father for a while, the third father left because he wanted to help get the pickled vegetables; Liu Wanru and Yang Rui were looking for a quiet place to sit, and as for entertaining guests or something, there was no need for two people to come forward at all.
Liu Xiaohui and Liu Xiaohai, this time they came here, they disappeared early.
"Isn't it boring?" Liu Wanru looked at Yang Rui and asked, she knew Yang Rui, this has been a life of fine clothes and food since childhood, and it is estimated that she has not had the experience of this rural banquet.
In fact, if Liu Wanru knew that in Yang Rui's soul, he still regarded himself as the rural boy he used to be, then he wouldn't think so. Of course, Yang Rui will definitely not tell anyone about his rebirth.
"Okay, that's interesting, isn't it?" Looking at the steamer with more than a dozen layers, Yang Rui knew that it should be roasted white and what was the name of the thing, it was a kind of fat wrapped into a pillar, and inside was sugar rice, and there was a peanut on it.
This thing, when I was young, was really not used to eating, and the most I went to eat the sugar rice and it was over, but when I grew up, this person was no longer picky, and when I went to eat, it tasted really good.
Thinking of the smell, Yang Rui felt that the saliva secreted from his mouth seemed to be a little too much.
It's just that this Yang Rui hasn't eaten it for a long time.
"By the way, if the school is going to open an elementary school, there should be a shortage of people, right?" Liu Wanru squinted at the beautiful phoenix eyes, after the opening of this Yulin Middle School, it was naturally very short of people, not only the lack of teachers, but also the lack of management. First of all, this elementary school, will there be a separate person to manage the affairs of the elementary school?
And this is what Liu Wanru wants to say.
"Well, it's not a shortage, the Education Bureau will solve part of it in terms of teachers." In terms of teachers, the Education Bureau also agreed to solve the problem of Chinese and mathematics, as for the teachers of other subjects, Yang Rui is not worried at all, this teacher of chemistry, biology, geography, physics or something, is there still a shortage of teachers in Yulin Middle School? That's not lacking at all.,Let these teachers lead the class or something.,This gives a lecture to primary school students.,It doesn't need to be too difficult.,Just talk about something usually interesting.。
"I'm not talking about the teacher, you see, is there someone to take care of the affairs of this elementary school, this parent is here, this is looking for the school, there can't be no one to come forward, right?"
Listening to Liu Wanru's statement, it seems to be true! Why is this Yang Rui so relaxed now, it is because there are two vice principals below, the affairs of the high school and the junior high school are all managed by two people, Yang Rui usually only needs to ask a little bit of questions, and this is over.
Well, this elementary school also needs to have a vice principal!
