Chapter 26: The Banquet

The slogan of the third year of high school (6) is "A garbage life does not enjoy any rights".

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Quan went home for a reunion dinner at noon after paying homage to his grandfather Chen Ran, Geng Yimin, Liu Yetian, Kong Limin and others.

This year, Zhao Zeng stayed in Tongnan, and Lin Quan sent a car to send Chen Yan and Guoguo to Tongnan to reunite with Zhao Zeng for the New Year yesterday. In addition to Lin Jingyi and Yang Ming, Lin Quan took Fang Nan, Xiao Siyu, and Fang Nan's mother over for the reunion dinner on the first day of the new year.

Chen Xiu only complained that Lin Quan was too ruthless to those students, Xiao Lili's mother worked as a nurse in the Third People's Hospital where Chen Xiu was, and Lin Quan's demonic reputation was naturally widely spread in the Third People's Hospital.

Lin Quan was very calm: "Xizhai Middle School is a private school, high school has been out of the scope of compulsory education, Xizhai has the right to remove students who do not meet the requirements of Xizhai, if there is any dissatisfaction, you can bring your children home." ”

In the quiet and empty campus, the third (6th) classroom was full, and of course, there were six people who did not have the right to sit down, and they had to stand and answer the test questions that Lin Quan had sent to the school early in the morning. The fifty students in the third year of high school (6) all passed the graduation examination, which surprised all the people in the school, but Lin Quan was never satisfied: "The college entrance examination is such a simple test question, and the vast majority of you have just passed, so you are destined to be admitted to the last colleges and universities in the college entrance examination, those private schools that only know how to charge high tuition fees but collect garbage from all over the country, unfortunately, in the three years of this year, you still can't get rid of the fate of garbage." The garbage life is not to enjoy any rights, others can enjoy a warm and pleasant winter vacation, you only have two choices, one is to leave Xizhai Middle School, and the other is to stay in this garbage class to continue tutoring. ”

In addition to the security guard and the teacher on duty, the canteen aunt has a seven-day holiday, and she has done a morning of questions, either to eat the cold meals prepared by the canteen the day before yesterday, or to bring meals from home by herself, but the security guards and teachers on duty can eat the New Year's package specially sent by the Nangang Hotel.

Xiao Lili had already prepared, she really appreciated the ruthlessness of the "demon teacher", she left the house in the morning and filled the food and bone broth in a thermos flask, Wen Xian and Zhang Jie too, put the dishes together for a New Year's dinner, and some parents came to deliver the food, but they all let the security guards block out of the school gate, and they were only responsible for notifying the students to come out and get it.

After the school gate of Xizhai Middle School was changed, Xinghuyuan was separated from Xizhai Middle School by three or four hundred meters, Lin Quan took the hand of Xiao Siyu, who was five years old this year, and walked to Xizhai Middle School leisurely, and there were seven or eight parents standing at the school gate, pleading with the security guards, wanting to go in to see the children, and seeing Lin Quan walking over with Xiao Siyu, his eyes showed strange eyes. The changes in the child in the past six months have made them very gratified, but they feel sorry for the child so hard, and their feelings for Lin Quan are really complicated.

In order for the children to take a few days off during spring break, most of them called or went directly to school, but Lin Quan ruthlessly refused. At this time, I begged him to let him go, but I was afraid that it would be in vain.

Bypassing the 400-meter standard plastic runway and the grid field, passing through the aisle of the student gymnasium, and walking to the bungalow classroom in the southeast corner, Lin Quan took Xiao Siyu's little hand and walked into the classroom that suddenly became silent. Xiao Lili saw the delicate and cute Xiao Siyu, showing a curious look, but she didn't have the courage to go up and play with her, but when Lin Quan was not paying attention, she squeezed her eyes with Xiao Siyu and made a grimace, which made Xiao Siyu "giggle" and laugh.

Lin Quan turned his head to look at her: "If you have time to make a face, it is better to memorize one more word." ”

After half a year of contact, Xiao Lili's nerves have become quite tenacious, and she retracted her smile and made a straight face like Lin Quan.

"Godfather, why don't they all play with me?" Xiao Siyu raised her head and stared at Lin Quan innocently, "I want my big sister to help me fold the plane." Pointing at Xiao Lili, he pulled Lin Quan to let him go over.

Lin Quan looked at Xiao Siyu's eyes and was extremely gentle: "Godfather will help you fold the plane." I found a few pieces of coated paper from the podium, and I was afraid that Xiao Siyu wouldn't see it, so I leaned on the chair and folded the plane for her.

The students in the classroom were envious, and they couldn't figure out that the demon teacher also had such a gentle side, but they could only continue to do the questions, and after a while, they would be forced to go out for a run and exercise, saying that "the limit of sports can vent mental pressure", "maintaining sufficient physical strength is the foundation of everything, and the physique of bean sprouts cannot support high-intensity learning", so they run three times a day and run ten laps at a time, but they don't have time to worry about running making their little feet thicker. After the run, it is a fierce and tense question to answer, in a group of three, and the questions include the four homework courses of the college entrance examination. Although this year's college entrance examination is 3+x, students in the third year of high school (6) can only choose history, taking Lin Quan's words: "A garbage life is the right to have no choice." ”

Although history textbooks are full of lies, they are also the easiest subjects to improve, and there is no complicated logical relationship, but there are too many lies mixed with historical things and meaningless historical significance.

Self-study, mutual questioning, teaching counseling, high-intensity exercises, sports exercises, psychological catharsis and counseling, etc., are called "demon teaching", and Lin Quan, Lin Mingda, Zhou Shan and others implement them without sloppiness. Not only the senior three (6) class, but also other classes are also under the influence of the senior three (6), igniting the enthusiasm of demon teaching, of course, their intensity is far from being compared with the senior three (6) class, whether it is the first twenty students who are allowed to study on their own in school, or the thirty students who do not have the right to self-study and accommodation, the time to sleep every day is no more than six hours, for Xiao Lili, the most extravagant thing is to wait for the college entrance examination to end, and sleep for a few days.

All the places in the classroom that can be written are labeled with English notes, and even more excessively, the school bus buses that pick up and drop off students are also pasted with knowledge points and English words related to the four college entrance examination subjects, and of course, more labels are distributed to students to stick in the toilets, toiletries and plastic surgery mirrors, bedrooms and dining rooms at home.

When the fifty students went out for a run, Zhou Shan also rushed to the school, saw Lin Quan squatting in the field, and walked over to greet him: "Mr. Lin, I heard that the old man will be 70 years old this year?" ”

This year is the ninth year of Chen Ran's retirement, and the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is his 70th birthday. When Chen Ran was in office, every year on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he had to feast on guests and friends, hold a flowing water banquet, and even many people would not stay to eat when they sent favors. After retreating, the birds were scattered, and even the three children only called to greet them, which really responded to the phrase that the evening scene was bleak.

However, last year, Geng Yimin and his subordinates who were promoted in the past personally went to the old mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and this year is destined to be very lively, not to mention the 70th birthday. Chen Jianguo, Chen Jianjun, and Chen Weihong contracted a sand and gravel yard, Geng Yimin, Liu Yetian, Zhao Zeng, Jiang Zhiming, Chen Erli, Gong Zhichao and other high-ranking and powerful people, and they also know a lot about Lin Quan, Lin Mingda, and Chen Ran's family affairs, but Chen Jianguo's three brothers and sisters really begged to come to the door with shy faces, what did they say? Those who don't know much about Chen Ran's family affairs, let alone drop their faces, and the convenient places that can be done are all given convenience, and after a year, the three Chen brothers and sisters have also been very prosperous in Jinghai.

Jinghai's infrastructure, engineering suddenly to an unprecedented level, the consumption of building materials such as sand, gravel and cement, is also unprecedented, this year, the Chen brothers and sisters have made enough money, last year graduated from the accounting major Chen Chu also successfully recruited into the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

What can Chen Ran say, they are all his children, after all, he still returns to his side, and he can't drive them out of Jinghai.

Lin Quan smiled and said, "When the time comes, go over and have a drink, and the invitation will not be distributed." ”

The birthday banquet was handled by Chen Jianguo's brothers and sisters, and Lin Mingda and Chen Xiu were not allowed to interfere at all. Although it is not as beautiful as Chen Ran when he was in office, but Geng Yimin, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Liu Yetian, executive deputy city, will personally go to the old house to celebrate his birthday, so the officials who have received Chen Ran's favor in the past will be moved.

Chen Jianguo's brothers and sisters put down the yard a few years ago and devoted their energy to the birthday banquet, compared to others, Lin Mingda's family was the last to be notified to go to the birthday banquet. The family looked at the gilded invitation sent by Chen Weihong and looked at each other, Chen Jianguo's brothers and sisters really regarded Lin Mingda's family as people who had nothing to do with the Chen family. Although they have known their snobbery for a long time, it really makes people laugh and cry when they see Chen Jianguo's brothers and sisters really doing these things.

"Forget it, relatives are relatives, so we can recognize us as relatives."

"Why don't you recognize it? I'm afraid of bothering you, so I didn't come to inform you until the end that we are all ready for the banquet, and you can just come over for dinner on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. The eldest brother and the second brother have to come over in person to invite, but they have to accompany the section chief Shi of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, so I am the plenipotentiary representative......"

"Oh, that's fine." Lin Mingda said indifferently.

Chen Weihong got things done, but he was not in a hurry to leave, and looked at the living room of the Lin family: "I haven't seen you for a few years, my sister's family has changed a lot, this house plus the decoration is indispensable for 500,000 yuan, the income of being a middle school principal is stronger than ours, and now parents have to pay for the school for the sake of their children. ”

"How can there be so many, Xinghu Yuan only sold for six or seven hundred yuan per square meter at the earliest, Xiao Yan and Xiao Chu have grown up, Jingyi is also married to Yang Ming, the original house is not enough to live, and the house in the urban area cannot afford to buy, so it moved to the edge of the school. The housing prices here have only risen in the past two years, who is your brother-in-law, don't you know, which life can save 500,000 yuan? Chen Xiu said without being salty.

Chen Weihong even boasted of her good luck, and chatted with Lin Quan cordially: "Xiao Yan is now also a teacher in the middle school, is the teacher good, but still not as good as a civil servant, the work is idle, and the salary is high, you look at Chen Jin and Chu Chu, or you will also take the civil service exam, and my aunt will help you find a relationship?" What is Zhao Zeng's relationship with your family? Chen Weihong turned his head to look at Lin Mingda, "Isn't Zhao Zeng a student of the third brother-in-law?" ”

"Well, he went to Tongnan, and he hasn't been in touch for a long time."

"The third brother-in-law is such a person, Zhao Zeng is now the secretary of the Tongnan Municipal Party Committee, if you ask him to arrange a job for Xiao Yan, what job can't you find?"

"If Zhao Zeng wasn't my dad's student, wouldn't you even send this invitation?" Lin Jingyi interrupted her unceremoniously.

"This ...... Why do you think so?" Chen Weihong smiled awkwardly, "It's not that I care about the work of the little one." Zhao Zeng was invited there, but he didn't say whether he would go or not, if the third brother-in-law was free, he would call and ask, when Zhao Zeng first came to work in the municipal party committee, the old man was still in office, which was kind to him. ”

Chen Weihong showed her final intention, so she didn't stay for a moment, watching her go out and leave, Lin Jingyi puffed up and poured warm tea into her mouth.

"Such an adult, you don't know how to speak?" Chen Xiu took out the cup from which Chen Weihong drank water and washed it.

Lin Jingyi stared at Lin Quan: "Why do you have a temper like your father, and you really can stand their faces?" ”

Lin Quan spread his hands and said, "It's nothing, what's there to be angry about?" Look at Lin Mingda, "What's there to be angry about?" ”

Lin Mingda shook his head: "There's nothing to be angry about." ”

"I don't care, in the sixth year of the first year, we will hold a birthday banquet in Xiushui Pavilion, take grandpa over, and see how many people go to the old house."

"Okay, that's it, wrap up Xiushui Pavilion ......"

"What's the fuss?" Lin Quan pressed Xiao Chu's head down with one hand, not letting her coax, "What is there to be aggressive, it also saves us from having to deal with it, you and your mother remember that you went over early on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, so you squatted at the door, rushing to take back the favor gift money, and cure their snobbery well." ”

"Go," Lin Quan laughed at his words, Lin Jingyi picked up a magazine and wanted to fan Lin Quan, "Who is rare with this money, they just can't get used to their faces." ”

"Then it's over, uncle, the investment they made in the provincial capital in the early years suffered a very miserable loss, and they turned a blind eye to it, and they wanted to be vindictive, didn't they let grandpa be caught in the middle and be a difficult person? Besides, is it necessary to be careful? On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, you drive Sun Feifei's Porsche, let them look dumbfounded, and then I don't understand my anger, I will borrow a Lincoln 1200 for you to drive, and block the door of grandpa's house, whoever wants to go in, you have to climb over, we know each other, let them drill the car door over. ”

Lin Jingyi amused him so much that he couldn't hit him.
