Chapter 187: Table
After a while, two men came out of the flower garden, one of them looked at him with a little frown when he saw Zhou Liwen, while the other slightly older gave an apologetic smile, nodded slightly, and then walked past Zhou Liwen.
The hiccup passed quickly, and he smoked a few cigarettes outside, until the banquet hall was quiet, and Zhou Liwen knew that the wedding banquet was about to start. Throwing away the cigarette butt, he quickly returned to the banquet hall from the side door, at this moment the lights in the banquet hall have dimmed, and the next thing should be the ceremony for the newcomer to enter, Zhou Liwen half-bent to return to his seat, Zhou Lin saw Zhou Liwen come back and asked him where he went with some displeasure, Zhou Liwen replied with a smile and went out to smoke a cigarette, as soon as the words fell, the music of the newcomer's entry began to sound.
A couple of newlyweds, the man wearing a black dress, the woman wearing a white wedding dress, walked into the banquet hall in the melodious music, when they slowly walked to the front of the stage, the lights were bright, and the whole banquet hall resounded with warm applause and cheers.
Zhou Bei, who was a bridesmaid, accompanied the bride at this time, and her parents sat down on the stage, looking at the newlyweds on the stage and their daughters dressed up with a smile, especially her mother Li Xiaoyuan was even more smiling, and she glanced at Zhou Liwen on the side intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Zhou Liwen secretly felt funny, moved the chair slightly, and turned sideways to look at the stage.
When his eyes swept to the left, Zhou Liwen clearly saw that the two people he met just now were sitting at a table next to them, according to the rules of the wedding banquet, the tables near the main table were the seats belonging to the nearest relatives of the men and women, from this point of view, these two people should be close relatives and friends to Jiang Yong, otherwise they would not sit in this position.
Maybe Zhou Liwen's gaze stayed a little longer, and the man who was frowning before seemed to notice something, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhou Liwen. Zhou Liwen smiled and nodded to him, and then didn't care about the other party's reaction, his eyes continued to look at the stage, at this time it was time for the newcomer's parents to give speeches, only to see the two men standing up at the table, a man who was nearly 6o years old, and a very generous man, walked quickly to the stage to take the host's microphone, and blessed the newcomer in the name of the man's elders.
Zhou Liwen didn't pay attention to this detail at all in his previous life. To be honest, Zhou Liwen has always been a person who is accustomed to quietness, and he has never had any interest in this kind of lively occasion. In addition, too much time has passed, and the previous memories have long been blurred, and today, when the man came to the stage to give a speech and blessings, Zhou Liwen's mind immediately flashed the conversation between the two just now, and it seems that this man is the Uncle Wang in their mouths.
With the end of the ceremony, the wedding banquet officially began, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall became more lively. Zhou Liwen secretly looked at the adjacent table out of curiosity, but he didn't see too much fame. It's just that there is one thing that is strange, that is, most of the more than a dozen tables on the man's side are young people, unlike the woman, few old people appear, and a few of these young people seem to be a little familiar, but Zhou Liwen didn't remember to see them anywhere after thinking about it.
"Mom, brother-in-law, what are they doing? Did you know? Zhou Liwen asked his mother while curious.
Li Xiaoyuan thought about it and shook his head: "I didn't inquire about this, I knew that his hometown seemed to be from the capital, but he went to study abroad many years ago, and after graduation, he directly found a job abroad, and only returned to China a few years ago, and worked directly in the branch in Shanghai." By the way, why do you ask all this? If you want to know, ask Xiao Yunbei directly. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, just ask." Zhou Liwen smiled, stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of veal steak into his mother's bowl: "The veal steak here is very good, Mom, you can taste it." ”
Due to the large number of guests, the newlyweds went upstairs to change their clothes and came down without sitting down to eat, so they went directly to the table and began to toast. At this time, Zhou Liwen has another strange place, that is, the woman's tables are very normal and very lively, and even meet some close relatives at a few tables, often there are peers coaxing, giggling to pour the newlywed's wine, even when the bride lights a cigarette, she has to play tricks, what tricks such as blowing upside down and blowing wind are all played, and a cigarette is definitely not over for a few minutes.
And when it came to the man's table, the atmosphere was very strange. It doesn't seem to be a toast from a newcomer, but rather a welcome to the leader's inspection. Except for the two tables closest to the main table, every time the newcomers arrived at the other tables, the whole table stood up, and no one took the initiative to pour wine or anything to the newcomers, even if the newcomers took the initiative to salute, they were polite. As for the occasion of lighting a cigarette, it is more prosaic, just like usual, and the slightest trick is useless.
Looking at this scene playfully, Zhou Liwen seemed to notice something, and a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth. It seems that his brother-in-law is not simple, maybe there are some things that he has never paid attention to and does not know.
The wedding banquet began at half past seven in the evening, and 66 continued for more than two hours, and the guests attending the wedding banquet gradually dispersed as it approached ten o'clock. Because the hotel sent a suite as a new room for the newcomer, so the relatives and friends who want to make a hole in the room go directly upstairs, as the bridesmaid's sister Zhou Bei will certainly not let go of this fun thing, and the parents because they want to talk to the uncle's family about some family life, several relatives also made an appointment to simply open a room in the hotel for a party, play cards or something together. In this way, Zhou Liwen didn't have to send them back, he said hello to the newcomer before leaving, and Zhou Liwen then went to the parking lot to pick up the car and go home.
As soon as the car drove out of the Garden Hotel, not long after heading west on Xiafei Road, about 3oo meters past the consulate area, Zhou Liwen suddenly saw a car not far in front of him leaning on the side of the road with a double jump, and a person standing in front of the car, with his head down, seemed to be looking at some part of the body.
At first, Zhou Liwen didn't pay attention to it, there were many people on the road every day, maybe there was something wrong with the other party's car, but when his car passed by, he saw that the person who got out of the car was actually one of the two men he met at the wedding banquet before.
Zhou Liwen slowly parked the car in front of them, got out of the car and walked to the rear car.
"What's wrong? Need help? ”
"The tire was blown out...... Hey! How are you? ”
Hearing the voice, he turned around and looked at Zhou Liwen, and the other party recognized Zhou Liwen as soon as he said half a sentence, and the person standing in front of the car was the one who frowned at Zhou Liwen before.
Zhou Liwen saw that the other party recognized him, nodded and smiled: "Hello, it's me, your tires burst?" Which tire? ”
"The left front tire, I don't know what I touched, but fortunately the car was not fast at the time." The man stretched out his foot and kicked the front tire on his left, with a hint of anger in his words.
At this time, another person got out of the car, and this person was another man who smiled apologetically at Zhou Liwen, he came to Zhou Liwen's side, first greeted Zhou Liwen very politely, and then apologized and said that the two of them can only drive, will not change tires, fortunately ran into Zhou Liwen, otherwise I am afraid I would have to call to find a trailer.
"You are not outsiders, you are friends of the groom, I am the cousin of the bride, and everyone is also their own people. Besides, I just happened to pass by, with a gesture. By the way, do you have a spare tire in your car? I'll take a look at the spare tire first. Zhou Liwen said with a smile, and then asked the other party to open the trunk and find the spare tire.
Unexpectedly, although there is a spare tire, the lack of maintenance of this spare tire is also deflated, and it does not work at all when it is replaced, and there are no inflating tools in either the other party's car or Zhou Liwen's car, looking at the spare tire that cannot be used, the other party's face is extremely ugly.
"Let's call, Brother Jian, you have to catch a plane later, call a taxi first, and I'll stay here to wait for the trailer." The frowning man said to the slightly older one.
"It's ......." Brother Jian seemed to be a little hesitant and couldn't make a decision for a while.
Just when they were discussing what to do, Zhou Liwen circled around the car, and then made a suggestion: "Don't call it a trailer, I've seen it, your car is the same as my model, just right, I have a new spare tire in the car, just change the two tires, it's very simple." ”
"What's so embarrassing?" Brother Jian hurriedly said.
"It's okay, it's all friends, just a spare tire." Zhou Liwen smiled and waved his hand, took off his coat and greeted the two: "Come on, don't stand still, don't you still have to catch a plane?" Come over and help! ”
The two glanced at each other, smiled and helped Zhou Liwen move the spare tire on his car to Zhou Liwen's car, and then moved Zhou Liwen's spare tire over.
Someone took a hand, and it didn't take ten minutes to change the tire. After putting away the jack, Zhou Liwen kicked the changed tires a few times with his foot, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, it's okay." However, tomorrow it is best to replace the original tire and then replace the spare tire, which can only be used temporarily, and cannot run often, or it is not easy to have an accident. ”
"Thank you, thank you so much." Brother Jian was just about to shake hands with Zhou Liwen, Zhou Liwen smiled and raised his black hands and shook his head: "It's a small matter, just shake hands, it's not good to touch your hand oil." ”
Brother Jian was stunned and laughed, beckoned to his partner, and said, "Xiaojun, take a bottle of water in the car to wash this brother's hands." ”
The three of them stood and chatted for a few words, and after washing their hands, Zhou Liwen asked them to go first, so as not to delay the flight. The other party politely thanked Zhou Liwen a few more words, and then got in the car and headed towards the airport.
"I didn't expect this person to be Xiao Yong's brother-in-law, hehe, the world is really small." In the car, Brother Jian recalled the rude scene in the hotel before, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Thanks to him just now, otherwise your car would definitely not be able to drive tonight." ”
"This guy is not bad, quite enthusiastic." Xiao Jun nodded and said: "And this person should have a bit of a background, it seems that Xiao Yong's wife and family are not as simple as they seem." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Brother Jian asked with some confusion.
Xiao Jun smiled and said, "Did you pay attention to the watch in his hand just now?" ”
"Table?" Brother Jian frowned, thought about it, and shook his head.
"Hehe, it's normal that you didn't pay attention, but the business I did was much more sensitive to this aspect than ordinary people, just now I noticed the watch in his hand, tell you the truth, the price of that watch can buy several such cars, you say, people who usually wear a watch worth millions can be a simple person?"
"So expensive? You kid didn't look away, did you? Brother Jian was taken aback.
"Look-a-eye? When pigs fly! Don't believe me, I'll find the same table to verify for you another day? ”
Hearing Xiao Jun's answer so sure, Brother Jian didn't speak for a while, indeed, as Xiao Jun said, can a person wearing a million-dollar watch be a simple person?
