Chapter 101: Dinner Party
Hao Desheng kept sending Vice Mayor Wang downstairs and put him in the car, waiting for the car to leave the hotel gate before turning around and returning to the hotel.
After entering the hall, Hao Deshengfeng quickly took the elevator back to the third floor, and after entering the A08 private room, he apologized to Zhang Xueru and Zhang's wife and said:
"I'm sorry, Master Zhang, old sister-in-law, I've kept you waiting."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's more important to send the leader. Either way, it's all about work. ”
Zhang Xueru hurriedly expressed his understanding and bowed his hand to Hao Desheng in return.
"Yes, Mayor Wang is in charge of urban construction and land development in the city; Vice Governor Huang is also in charge of urban construction and land development in the province. Therefore, Beijing has come to the leader in this regard, and Mayor Wang must report it. ”
After Hao Desheng entered the door, he specially explained Vice Mayor Wang's departure halfway.
"Alright, Xiao Hao. Lao Wang, that person, is busy with work all day long, let's not talk about him. You see, should we discuss the details of the child's marriage again? ”
The mayor's wife is probably used to her husband leaving the table in the middle of the wine table.
At this time, she disagreed with Hao Desheng's explanation, but she was not at ease about the preparations for the marriage of Mengdu and Liping.
The mayor's wife waved at Hao Desheng, signaling that he did not need to explain her husband's departure, and asked him to turn the conversation to the marriage of the children.
"Oh, what my sister-in-law said is that Mayor Wang is one of the busiest leaders in our city. Now, let's seriously discuss the marriage of Mengdu and Liping. ”
Hao Desheng nodded, then looked around at the three in-laws present and said:
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, Zhang Shifu, old sister-in-law, you see, the child's new house layout, what specific requirements do you have, just tell me, I will consider it as a whole."
"Well, as I said just now, the new house will be arranged on the second floor of my house. Jiandu and Yalan, most of the time, live in the commercial houses they bought. Now on the second floor of my house, no one else lives except Mengdu. ”
The mayor's wife first confirmed the address of the new house.
Of course, the mayor's wife once again confirmed the purpose of the new house, which was to explain to Zhang Xueru and his wife that Mengdu and Liping's new house was not just a room in the Wang family's villa, but the first and second floors could all be used by them.
After finalizing the new house, the mayor's wife thought for a moment and then said:
"There were also bedding and household appliances, which had to be updated in full. And to choose the latest products, choose the most high-end products. I'll go out on the street to buy these things. That's it, Xiao Hao, I'll arrange the layout of the new house. When the time comes, you can find me two helpers, hang colored balls, pull streamers, and paste red double happiness, which is basically fine. ”
"Oh, mother-in-law, the bedding and household appliances in the child's new house will be purchased by our mother's family. According to the customs of our hometown, bedding and household appliances should be dowry by the mother's family. ”
Listening to the mayor's wife talk about bedding and household appliances, Zhang Xueru hurriedly expressed his opinion.
"Oh, that's okay, we're ready to do the same."
The mayor's wife smiled and nodded at Zhang Xueru, neither agreeing with him nor denying his opinion.
Because the mayor's wife knows that in many places in China, there are such folk customs:
When the daughter gets married, the bedding and household appliances of the newlyweds must be accompanied by the woman.
However, the mayor's wife heard Hao Desheng say that Zhang Xueru used to work in a small station in the county, and his family background was not thick. Therefore, she didn't want the Zhang family to spend money on Mengdu and Liping's marriage, so as not to increase the financial pressure on the Zhang family.
"Oh, mother-in-law, can we do the custom of our hometown when it comes to dowry? Otherwise, we will not eat well and sleep restlessly. That's it for bedding and household appliances, right? ”
Unexpectedly, on the issue of dowry, Zhang Xueru was very serious!
Because Zhang Xueru felt that his daughter was going to get married, and she was married to Mayor Wang's family.
If you don't give a dowry when your daughter gets married, I'm afraid that you will regret it for the rest of your life!
Therefore, while insisting on her own point of view, Zhang Xueru begged the mayor's wife to change her decision.
"Well, well, since the in-laws insist on it, then it's decided! But I have to say in advance, what about you, you are only responsible for the bedding and household appliances of the two children; Don't worry about anything else. ”
Seeing Zhang Xueru's sincere attitude, the mayor's wife no longer insisted on her previous decision.
She turned her face to Hao Desheng and said:
"Xiao Hao, what else do you need to prepare for the child's marriage, you can help me with the staff when I go back; Now, you have a drink with my in-laws. Didn't Lao Wang explain to you just now, tonight, you must accompany our in-laws to have a few drinks! ”
"Okay, Mrs. Sister-in-law, please rest assured! Dear friends, you just have to rest assured! I have planned a lot for the marriage of modern young people, so you don't have to bother! Come, Master Zhang, today, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I want to borrow the wine of Mayor Wang and his sister-in-law, and I will toast you and your sister-in-law a few glasses! I sincerely wish your daughter Liping, and Mayor Wang and his sister-in-law's son Mengdu to tie the knot and spend a full moon! ”
Hao Desheng said, raised his wine glass high, and stretched out to Zhang Xueru and Zhang's wife very reverently.
"Oh, good! Thank you, thank you, Director Hao! ”
Liping's marriage was negotiated, and Zhang Xueru had nothing to worry about, so he happily picked up the wine glass, touched Hao Desheng's wine glass "jingle", and dried it as soon as he looked up.
So, the four people at the table, in an atmosphere of rising interest, you drank a few more laps back and forth.
Soon, Zhang Xueru's wine was high, and his speech was incoherent.
When Hao Desheng asked the waiter to pour wine for him again, Zhang Xueru rarely blocked the cup with his hand and said intermittently:
"Oh no, no, no! Today, I'm drunk, happy, happy, already, too much! Director Hao, I, I can't win, no, win, and I'm drunk. ”
"Master Zhang, just because you are happy today, everyone has to drink in place! Didn't you listen to Mayor Wang? He told me to have a few drinks with you tonight! Waiter, come, pour wine. ”
It can be seen that Hao Desheng has made up his mind today:
It is necessary to resolutely and thoroughly implement Vice Mayor Wang's instructions, and Zhang Xueru must be drunk before resting.
"Hao, director, Lao Zhang, he, he really can't drink."
At this time, Zhang Xueru's wife stammered and pleaded with Hao Desheng.
Because, Mrs. Zhang has already seen that the old man is obviously drunk high tonight. If you drink it any more, you might have a problem going home!
Therefore, for the first time in history, Zhang's wife blocked the wine for Zhang Xueru.
"Okay, then, let's add less."
Hao Desheng saw that Zhang Xueru's wife came forward to stop the wine, so he nodded respectfully to Zhang's wife. Then he motioned to the waiter to continue adding wine, and at the same time jokingly said:
"Zhang Shifu, I don't know if you've heard such a joke? It is called: people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and they take a cup and drink it; When there are a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, who is afraid to drink it? ”
"Yo, Xiao Hao, I can't imagine that you can drink and slip away! Okay, father-in-law, since it's 'a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant', you can let it go tonight and have a few more drinks with Xiao Hao! ”
The mayor's wife is also very happy today!
Because, her baby son's marriage has been confirmed, and then she is waiting to hold her grandson! Therefore, at the moment, her heart is also happy.
Now listening to Hao Desheng's persuasion, he slipped away, so he smiled and helped to persuade each other to drink together.
"Okay, good, dear, mother, persuade me, drink, then, wine, I must, want to drink!"
Zhang Xueru was drunk and flattered, and immediately raised his glass with both hands, stretched out to Hao Desheng, touched Hao Desheng's wine glass again, and raised his head and drank most of the wine.
"Oh, Master Zhang, you're really massive! Come on, waiter, pay Zhang Shi a little less. ”
Hao Desheng gave Zhang Xueru a thumbs up, and then asked the waiter to add wine to Zhang Xueru.
After the waiter finished refilling, Hao Desheng continued:
"Since my sister-in-law likes to listen to persuasion and drink smoothly, I can read a few more paragraphs!"
"Really? Okay, just read a few more paragraphs to me. ”
The mayor's wife looked at Hao Desheng with a smile.
"Listen well, you can drink half a catty and drink eight taels, such cadres must be cultivated!"
Hao Desheng slipped out of his mouth.
"Well, yes, that's great! Such cadres should be cultivated! Come, drink, father-in-law, Xiao Hao, both of you have to drink. After drinking, Xiao Hao continued to read! ”
The mayor's wife listened happily and continued to persuade the two men to drink.
Seeing that the mayor's wife was happy from the bottom of her heart, Hao Desheng was even more energetic. He raised his wine glass, took the initiative to touch Zhang Xueru's cup "ding", and toasted again.
"Xiao Hao, just now you said that you can drink half a catty and drink eight taels, such cadres must be cultivated; Then I want to ask, what should such a cadre do if he can drink half a catty and drink two taels? ”
Obviously, the mayor's wife was teasing Hao Desheng.
Perhaps in order to further add to the fun, the mayor's wife wanted to deliberately embarrass Hao Desheng.
Of course, her main purpose is to further enliven the atmosphere of the wine table.
"Wow, Mrs. Sister-in-law, there is also a saying for people who can drink half a catty and drink two taels, called, 'If you can drink half a catty and drink two taels, such cadres should be retired'!"
Hao Desheng slipped casually. And it slipped out particularly logically!
No wonder his son Hao Min is so good at telling jokes, eighty percent of them are inherited by him!
"Haha, interesting, interesting! Xiao Hao, keep drinking, you and my father-in-law have another drink! ”
The mayor's wife was so excited and happy that she was particularly excited to persuade her to drink.
So, Hao Desheng had another drink with Zhang Xueru.
"Xiao Hao, what else is there to hear? Keep talking! ”
It seems that the mayor's fat lady still has to listen to the slippery words.
After all, over the years, the mayor's wife has spent too much time at home, and she usually doesn't drink much outside; What is even more rare is that it is even more difficult to listen to it while drinking, and for the mayor's wife, this opportunity is even less.
Usually, the mayor's wife occasionally goes out to a banquet with her husband, but under normal circumstances, as long as Vice Mayor Wang is present, perhaps because of the dignity of the leader, few people at the wine table say that they are smooth or funny.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, let me tell you, in fact, there are a lot of smooth mouths on the wine table!"
Since he got into a relationship with Mayor Wang, Hao Desheng has never denied the mayor's wife's face. Now that the mayor's wife has to tell a joke herself, Hao Desheng continued:
"Listen, the following passage is: Revolutionary cadres, standing is a banner; Drink down - and it has to be a flag! ”
"Ah——, no, no, I ——、 ah——!"
Here, Hao Desheng's smooth voice has not fallen; Over there, Zhang Xueru had stumbled away the chair behind him, staggered and staggered to the bathroom in the corner of the private room.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I've never drunk so much wine, he's, he's drunk, drunk!"
Zhang Xueru's wife saw that Zhang Xueru was drinking and drinking "live broadcast", and she was so ashamed that she couldn't stand or sit.
She rubbed her hands on the hem of her clothes and apologized to the mayor's wife and Hao Desheng.
It can be seen that Zhang Xueru is indeed drunk!
Looking at his bulky steps as he hurried to the bathroom, and his staggering sway, it was enough to conclude that:
Zhang Xueru is no longer "able to drink half a catty and drink eight taels, such cadres must be cultivated"; But "if you can drink half a catty and drink two catties, such a cadre is the most assured"!
Seeing Zhang Xueru stumbling to the bathroom in an embarrassed manner, Hao Desheng grinned at the mayor's wife and stuck out his tongue, hurriedly strode forward, helped the swaying Zhang Xueru, and sent him into the bathroom.
