Chapter 108: Three Dynasties Reception (Part II)
The Cao family's three dynasties wine actually caused a lot of trouble, which Liu Jun did not expect.
The first trouble is Liang Guocheng's seating arrangement. It stands to reason that children must invite their grandfather to sit down. This is the folk custom of Xiangyang County, and if you want to come to all parts of the country, it is general. Who knew that when he arrived at the Cao family, he would actually break this case. The reason is that there are more cadres who come to congratulate him. Among them, there are quite a few people who are full of brains, with their heads held high, and they generally speak through their noses. Cao Bin showed a flattering smile, listening to his name, two of them were secretaries, but I don't know whether they are the secretary of the district or the secretary of the town, and I don't know whether they are the main or the deputy. Almost all the main leading cadres in Furong District have been to Liu's house, but Liu Jun is not very impressed. Only one of them, with a scar on his face, was the deputy director of the Furong District Revolutionary Committee before, surnamed Zeng, and still had a vague impression. Among Cao Bin's characters, there is this gong. Called him secretary, it was expected that after the establishment of the party committee, he took a step forward and assumed the position of deputy secretary. In a district, the deputy secretary of the district party committee can be called a high authority. Although the supply and marketing cooperatives are vertically managed, Cao Bin's hometown is in Furong Town, so naturally he can't offend his parents.
Another person who Cao Bin stammered with all his might, his figure was not very stout, he was of medium height, he was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt on a hot day, and he wore a pair of gold-wire glasses on his slender face.
Director Wu? It must be Director Wu of the county supply and marketing cooperative. I have heard that this person is a fake model and likes to be elegant, and looking at this dress, you can know that the rumors are indeed true.
The youngest granddaughter of the director of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the next district made three dynasty wines, and she was able to invite the leader of the county community, Cao Bin really had a good means.
The rest of the officials were all secretaries and directors, and Cao Bin's smile was as if it had been carved on his face, and it never disappeared for a moment. His pockmarked son, Liang Shaolan's husband, has also been smiling and smiling. It's just that when those officials take cigarettes, they try not to look at him in the face.
Point by point, there are a total of nine very important leaders, plus Cao Bin himself, just enough for a table of ten people, Liang Guocheng, the grandfather who should have been seated, is redundant.
Cao Bin extended these leaders into his seat one by one, and inadvertently, he found Liang Guocheng standing alone on the side, with an embarrassed and ashamed expression on his face.
Liu Jun and Liang Qiao were arranged to sit at a table with several young people, both men and women, all relatives and friends of the Cao family, and none of them knew each other. Fortunately, Liu Jun was not interested in chatting with them, just holding hands with Liang Qiao under the table, making some small movements, and using his fingertips to keep scratching the itch in her palms.
When he sat down at the guest of honor, Liu Jun occasionally turned his head to look, only to find that Liang Guocheng was standing at the main table, alone, not embarrassed. Liang Qiao's attention has always shifted with Liu Jun's attention, and when he looked at it, his pretty face suddenly turned red.
Cao Bin also felt that something was wrong, so he glanced at his pock-faced son. Ma Mian whispered to Liang Guocheng: "Dad, you can sit at another table." You see, it's all county and district leaders......"
Liu Jun felt Liang Qiao's hands trembling.
This family surnamed Cao is also not authentic. Last year, Liang Guocheng was injured and hospitalized, and they stood by and refused to stretch out their hands, causing Liang Qiao to be almost sold by the matchmaker. Yoo Jun already looked down on them very unpleasantly. Today, he slapped Liang Guocheng in the face in front of so many people.
Seeing that Liang Guocheng was humiliated and was about to move to a table next to him to sit, Liu Jun said lightly: "Is this a cadre meeting today or a drink of three dynasties?" Still have a seat arrangement? Just get a rostrum! β
Although the voice was not high, the child's voice was crisp, and the people at the nearby tables could hear it clearly. The noise of chirping immediately subsided a lot.
Cao Bin's face changed suddenly, and when he glanced over, he saw that it was a little kid making the sound of a war horse, which was not good. The numb face also froze there, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
It's a bit of a shame to do this.
The officials and gentlemen at the guest of honor naturally heard it, Director Wu and Secretary Zeng took care of eating melon seeds and peeling peanuts, chatting about the world, and their eyelids never shook at all, and they really cultivated into a good momentum. A few other officials with lower official positions lacked cultivation, and they also turned their heads to look. One of them, a young cadre in his early thirties, stood up and gave way to Liang Guocheng.
Cao Bin hurriedly said: "Director Xiao, you sit, you sit, I'll arrange ......"
Director Xiao hesitated.
After all, it was Liang Shaolan's daughter who did the Three Dynasties, and for the sake of Liang Qiao's face, Liu Jun didn't want to stir up the situation. Besides, Liu Yanei is already hungry now, so wouldn't he be able to get along with himself at this time? Although Liu Jun is young, he has a wide stomach, and the taste of hungry food is particularly uncomfortable. Seeing that it had become a stalemate, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy, and leaned into Liang Qiao's ear and said, "You go and tell Mazi to move another stool, can everyone squeeze it?" β
Listening to Liu Jun's direct rebuke of "pockmarks", Liang Qiao smiled "poof", and the beautiful Danfeng's eyes were full of admiration. Immediately got up, she pushed the stool she was sitting on in front of her brother-in-law, and said, "Brother-in-law, add a place." β
That pockmarked was so hateful that he still had to glance at Cao Bin, until Cao Bin nodded, then he took the stool and apologized to Director Xiao repeatedly. Director Xiao was also approachable, said hello to the two cadres next to him, everyone squeezed in, and finally settled Liang Guocheng.
This time, Liang Qiao became standing, and immediately attracted countless eyes. Even Secretary Zeng Director Wu, who had been chatting and talking as if no one was around, turned his head, his face showed a look of surprise, and he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
Liu Junya didn't want Liang Qiao to be stared at like this. Among the eyes of the crowd, some of them are really evil, if it weren't for broad daylight, I'm afraid that many people would be tempted to rush over and tear Liang Qiao's clothes.
"Qiao'er, you sit."
Ryu Jun stood up and said.
"Hmm...... Sit down, I'll get a stool......"
Liang Qiao obviously didn't agree to let Liu Jun stand.
Liu Jun frowned, raised his voice a little, and said, "Sit down, I don't like people looking at you like this!" β
Hehe, that's a bit of a big deal. There was a burst of laughter.
If it is ten years later, Liu Yanei will grow into a standard strong man, five big and three thick, with broad shoulders and a round waist, so it will be a bit majestic. However, now that he is young, his momentum is weaker. But it's still quite impressive.
Liang Qiao hurriedly agreed, sat down obediently, and peeked at Liu Jun, with affection in his eyes, full of joy at being spoiled.
Liu Jun glanced at his numb face.
Liu Jun, like the cadres of that class, was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, a pair of light-blue public security trousers that had been changed to a smaller size, a belt tied around his waist, and especially a medium-sized Shanghai watch on his wrist. At that time, how could an ordinary ten-year-old child be dressed like this? At first glance, he is the son of an official eunuch.
Seeing Liu Jun's appearance, Ma Mian didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went into the inner room and took out a stool and invited him to sit down.
This little episode passed quickly, and then there were more and more greeting guests. Cao Bin's family is really popular near Furong Town, and the guests have come one after another, upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside the house, and there are no more than 30 tables. At that time, not to mention a small town like Furong Town, it was put in Xiangyang County, or even in Baozhou City, which could be called pompous.
Seeing that Liu Jun kept peeling peanuts to eat, Liang Qiao whispered with concern: "Hungry, right?" Why don't I go to my sister's and get you two eggs? β
It's half past twelve, and the table hasn't yet opened. Liang Qiao knew Liu Jun's amount of food, and was afraid that he would be hungry. In the store, no matter how busy the business is, Liang Qiao will definitely make lunch on time.
Liu Jun shook his head and smiled: "No need, it's time to start the table." β
Liang Qiao nodded, peeled peanuts for him, and picked a big one and put it in his hand. If Liu Jun's hands are not empty, he will stuff them directly into Liu Jun's mouth. Rao is Liu Jun is very thick-skinned, and he also feels that it is a little inconvenient to be so affectionate in public. After all, I'm not a four- or five-year-old kid anymore.
There was a lot of noise and shouting, and at about 12:40, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside the door, and then the wine and food came up, and it was finally ready to eat. The country noodles are not too particular, and a large bowl of vermicelli comes up first, greasy and sprinkled with red chili peppers. Liang Qiao was not very greasy, first filled a bowl for Liu Jun, and then grabbed a chopstick by himself, chewed it slowly, and ate it very well. But whenever every dish comes up, as long as it is with meat, she has to give it to Liu Junsheng first.
During the banquet, a young woman asked curiously, "Hey, is he your brother?" β
Liang Qiao nodded and responded with a "um" word.
"You're Shaolan's sister-in-law, right? How did I hear that you have three siblings? β
This woman is not very old, and her appearance is not annoying, but she is a little gossipy.
Liang Qiao just smiled and didn't answer. In fact, she can arrange the identity of Liu Jun's cousin casually, and say that one table is three thousand miles, can't people still go to social investigations? But she just refused, probably thinking that the title of cousin was too angry.
Seeing that Liang Qiao ignored her, the young woman was very angry, pursed her lips, turned her face away, and muttered a few words, looking at the meaning, she was probably slandering Liang Qiao for being too arrogant.
For this kind of jealousy of women, Liu Jun didn't bother to pay attention to it. Judging from the appearance of the two alone, Liang Qiao does have the capital to be arrogant, and he can't accept it.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Liu Jun's stomach was stuffed with all kinds of greasy food, and when the famine was lifted, he also changed his gobbling appearance, wiped his mouth, got up, and chose light vegetables and a few chopsticks.
At this moment, a tall young man, about 20 years old, wearing a white shirt and yellow trousers, a pair of black and shiny leather shoes under his feet, walked over with a wine glass. This person has a three-seven style split hair, and his appearance is not evil, but his face is oily and slippery, giving people a sense of vanity.
Xiao Fentou walked straight up to Liang Qiao and said, "You are my sister-in-law's sister Liang Qiao, right?" My name is Cao Shengming, I am Cao Shengyong's younger brother, I work in the county supply and marketing cooperative, come, I will toast you. β
When I was chatting before, I heard Liang Qiao mention what her brother-in-law was Cao Shengyong. Look at this Cao Shengming again, the facial contour is indeed somewhat similar to pockmark. Thinking that Cao Shengyong had no serious illness when he was young, he was also a handsome young man, worthy of Liang Shaolan.
It's just that this Cao Shengming is very annoying, so don't take the opportunity to talk to him and come over with a wine glass.
Toasting a girl? It's a shame that he can figure it out!
Liang Qiao blushed and said, "I don't drink." β
"Hey, it's okay, it's water wine, it's not intoxicating."
Cao Shengming's face was slightly drunk, he must have drunk a lot, and he raised his cup and rushed to Liang Qiao.
Liang Qiao hurriedly stood up and dodged to the side.
There was a commotion during the banquet, and a group of bored men and women shouted: "My brother married my sister, and this sister married my younger brother again, isn't it kissing and kissing?" β
As soon as he heard this, the fire in Liu Jun's heart suddenly ignited.
Mother sells x, what kind of thing? Another guy who doesn't have long eyes!
Cao Shengming was very proud, crossed his waist with one hand, threw his head back, and put a "Pushi", which immediately attracted another shout. Talking about it in detail, this Cao Shengming is tall, his appearance is not evil, and his family background is not bad, listening to his self-introduction just now, he works in the county supply and marketing cooperative, he is a public family that eats national grain, and in the small Furong Town, he can be called a good young man, and he will inevitably be sought after by a group of big girls and daughters-in-law, so it is reasonable to feel good about himself.
After Cao Shengming finished the show, he wanted to go to Liang Qiao again. Liu Jun stood up and said lightly: "Chasing girls, you have to be graceful!" β
"What did you say, kid?"
Cao Shengming slanted his drunken eyes and asked sharply.
Yoo Jun turned his head and ignored him. The rest of his eyes kept glancing, one foot was stuck under the stool, and as long as he leaned forward, he could not kick the stool and knock it on his knee, making him very ugly.
With Liang Guoqiang practicing grappling for more than a year, limited to age and physical strength, if he fights head-on against an adult like Cao Shengming, he has no chance of winning. But if you use equipment to attack him by surprise, it is nine times out of ten. As for the consequences, whether they will suffer immediate losses in other people's land, and be beaten by the sea, they can't care about it.
Cao Shengming was immediately very angry when he ate this, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he clenched his fists, as if he wanted to make a move.
Liu Jun glanced at him and said coldly: "What, your Cao family, do you have the habit of beating guests?" β
Cao Shengming was squeezed by me, and he couldn't advance or retreat.
"Shengming, don't mess around."
Cao Bin walked over slowly, followed by Cao Shengyong and Liang Shaolan. Liang Shaolan held the child in her hands, and her eyes showed concern. It turns out that it's time to "hug the hair".
The so-called "hugging Maomao" is the end of the Three Dynasties Drinking Party, and it is also an indispensable program. It was the host who came out with the child in his arms to thank him, and the guests hugged the baby, gave a red envelope, made a fuss for a while, and then dispersed.
"Kid, I'm sorry, he drank a few more glasses."
Liu Jun nodded, did not say a word, and sat down again.
With Cao Bin as a shrewd person, he naturally would not be angry with a child at a banquet. This is going to get out, and it's a shame to be ashamed.
Who knew that Cao Bin also had gossip, so he took a closer look at Liang Qiao, and said to Liang Guocheng with a smile: "In-laws, why don't we go back to our in-laws again and have a kiss?" β
Liu Jun suddenly crooked his nose in anger.
Liang Guocheng rubbed his hands and smiled innocently: "Qiao'er is still ...... young"
Cao Bin smiled and stopped mentioning the matter. Cao Shengming saw that Lao Tzu was not angry, he raised his toes again, glanced at Liu Jun, and suddenly made two "Great Unity", stuffed them into the small pocket on Maomao's chest, and said, "Come, uncle hug." β
It stands to reason that my uncle is a close relative, so there is no need to take out this red envelope in public, Cao Shengming is showing off. At that time, twenty dollars was a lot of money.
Liu Jun is angry and funny, this kid, I don't know if he drank two more glasses or was really naΓ―ve.
"Qiao'er, the uncle hugged Maomao, you, who are an aunt, should also be hugged."
Liu Jun took out a handful of brand-new banknotes from his trouser pocket, and without asking how much, he stuffed them into Liang Qiao's hand. Since he got rich, Liu Jun has never had less than two hundred cash in his pocket.
The effect of this hand was immediate, and everyone was stunned.
I didn't expect this little child to hide it so deeply.
Liang Qiao stepped forward with a smile, handed over a handful of tickets to Liang Shaolan, hugged the child and kissed him, and didn't look at Cao Shengming with his eyes.
Cao Shengming's face was red and white for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but Cao Bin stared at him fiercely, so he stopped talking. Cao Bin is more eye-catching than him, imagine a child who can casually take out one or two hundred yuan, will it be so simple?
"Little comrade, may I ask your surname?"
At that time, changing the word "little friend" to "little comrade" meant extreme respect and meant that the two sides had a comrade-like equal dialogue status.
"My surname is Liu, and I came to drink with Qiao'er to say goodbye. Thank you, Director Cao, for your hospitality. β
Liu Jun smiled faintly and turned his head to greet Liang Guocheng and Liang Qiao.
"Uncle, Qiao'er, when the wine is finished and the food is full, you won't bother, right? Let's go! β
After saying that, Liu Juntou didn't look back and walked towards the door. Liang Qiao naturally followed closely. To Cao Bin's surprise, Liang Guocheng didn't hesitate much, just smiled at him, nodded, and followed Liu Jun out of the door.
