Chapter 43: The Class Banquet
"Hello Aunt Tian!"
When I saw Liu Xiaoting's mother, I immediately greeted her politely.
Liu Xiaoting's mother, surnamed Tian, I didn't ask Liu Xiaoting much about the specific name, I met Aunt Tian when I was in junior high school, a woman who was dressed very ordinary, but everywhere showed a sense of beauty.
As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of rats will make holes.
Because Aunt Tian is a beauty, Liu Xiaoting inherited her mantle, and even carried it forward, and she has been a beauty since she was a child.
Moreover, both of them have very good personalities and treat people very kindly, so when I was in junior high school, I always wanted to see Aunt Tian, and from her, I could feel the maternal love that I had never had in junior high school.
"Waiting for Xiaoting, right?" Aunt Tian was wearing work clothes, she was a civil servant in a certain unit, and when she saw me standing downstairs, she knew that today was a reunion of our junior high school classmates, so she said to me: "Xiaoting, that child can't drink, you help Auntie watch it." ”
I hurriedly said that I knew about my aunt, and added that if someone wanted to toast Liu Xiaoting's wine, I would help her block the wine.
Aunt Tian said that Xiao Chu was still sensible, and said that she was still working overtime in the unit today, and she would come back temporarily to get something.
Aunt Tian pointed upstairs and asked me if I could go up?
I said no need Auntie, I'll just wait for Liu Xiaoting downstairs.
Aunt Tian said goodbye and hurriedly went upstairs.
After a while, Liu Xiaoting went downstairs, she didn't deliberately dress up today, she was dressed almost as usual, she didn't wear a skirt, a pair of light blue jeans with light-colored casual clothes, giving people a feeling of sassiness.
"You met my mom, what did you say?"
Liu Xiaoting walked in the direction of the Garden Hotel, and I hurriedly followed side by side, and she asked casually.
I smiled and said, "What else can I say, I said hello to my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law praised me for being very handsome today." ”
"Get out of here, who's your mother-in-law, that's my mother." Liu Xiaoting pouted.
I laughed and said yes, that's your mother, it's my mother-in-law.
Liu Xiaoting stretched out her foot and kicked me, but I smiled and dodged it, she said that when my classmates met, I was not allowed to joke like this.
I said I got it, which means that when the two of us are together, I can say that you are my woman, right?
Get lost!
Liu Xiaoting smashed it with a punch, I didn't dodge this time, and I was punched with a smile, but she didn't hit it hard, and looked at me with a smile, saying that I didn't expect you to clean up well, and you still look like a dog.
I stuck out my tongue and said that I was handsome, and my mother-in-law said that I was handsome.
Actually, Aunt Tian didn't say that at all, I just wanted to tease Liu Xiaoting.
The two of us joked all the way and walked to the Garden Hotel, and on the way Zhang Dewu called me and asked us to wait for him.
After waiting on the side of the road for a while, Zhang Dewu came with a girl from our junior high school, and after we met, we greeted each other, and the four of us laughed and chatted and continued to move forward.
Along the way, we gradually met more junior high school classmates, and by the time we arrived at the Garden Hotel, there were already more than 20 people.
What warms me particularly is that none of these classmates who have studied in different places look down on me, but many of them take the initiative to chat with me, which is something I never had in junior high school.
In junior high school, I only had three good friends, one Zhang Dewu, one Bi Dada, and Liu Xiaoting.
But today, I felt the friendliness of other classmates, and I felt that Liu Xiaoting said that I had low self-esteem as redundant, but in real life, there are not so many philistine characters written in online novels.
At least, at the age of seventeen or eighteen years old, it is a critical period for reading and enterprising, and the psychology of comparison is not as serious as that of social people, and there is no scene where anyone who appears is better than whom.
"Welcome, students!"
As soon as a group of us arrived at the door of the banquet hall of the Garden Hotel, a burly figure walked out of the door, he was wearing a rigorous suit, a well-combed hairstyle, and a real and slightly immature smile when he smiled.
This person is the convener of this class reunion, the study/committee member of our junior high school class - Yang Qiang.
Yang Qiang, the youngest classmate in our junior high school class, more than a year younger than me, just turned fifteen years old this year, he went to primary school at the age of five, but his academic performance was very good, in junior high school was the first in our class, from the first year of junior high school to graduation, no one has been able to surpass him.
In our opinion, Yang Qiang is a scholar, and his family is not conspicuous, he is very low-key in junior high school, but everyone knows that his family is wealthy, so many people are actually not very close to Yang Qiang.
Take Zhang Dewu and I as examples, Yang Qiang and I are people from different worlds, so in junior high school, I didn't talk to Yang Qiang much, and Zhang Dewu also had little contact with him.
"Yang Qiang, you are still so immature!"
Among the classmates, a girl said with a smile, which caused Yang Qiang's face to blush slightly, he scratched his hair with a smile, and said No way, I am Xiao Xianrou.
Suddenly, the classmates laughed, not to mention, Yang Qiang is the kind of little fresh meat that is more popular with girls nowadays, so tender that it seems to be able to squeeze out water.
"Squad leader, long time no see."
Yang Qiang laughed with everyone, then walked up to Liu Xiaoting, stretched out his delicate hand and shook it with Liu Xiaoting.
Liu Xiaoting said yes, I haven't seen it since I graduated, she and Yang Qiang stand together, quite a bit of a perfect match for the style of painting, one is as beautiful as a fairy, the other is handsome and shy.
Yang Qiang looked at me again, he nodded to me and said hello, and I smiled at him.
"Let's go to the banquet hall."
Yang Qiang arranged and said let's go in first, and he waited at the door for other students who hadn't arrived yet.
A group of us came to the banquet hall of the class reunion under the leadership of the waiter, and walked in to see that there were five large round tables, the banquet scene was decorated, and there was a rostrum, and there was a banner on the stage, which was written to welcome the reunion of our junior high school class.
The scene environment is very good, it seems that Yang Qiang is thinking hard, and I sat at the round table farthest from the rostrum with Liu Xiaoting and Zhang Dewu and others.
Zhang Dewu picked up the melon seeds on the table and snorted them, looking at some exquisite cold dishes on the table, he said that it seems that today's table is estimated to be thousands.
Another boy at the same table said that it was far more than that, he had come to this banquet hall with adults, and it was said that the minimum charter fee was 10,000 yuan.
What a local tyrant!
All of us praised it in our hearts, the minimum charter fee is 10,000 yuan, and today's consumption is definitely higher.
After a while, Bi Dafa came wearing that decent set of clothes, this set of clothes, which he bought with 3,000 yuan from Leng Yuanhang, wore it on his body, it did look very good, and the most important thing was to sit at our table, which was obviously more lined than the few boys we were here.
I asked Bi Dafa if he had repaid the money to Leng Yuanhang, and Bi Dada said that after receiving my transfer that day, he would pay it back immediately, and Bi Dada had given me 300 yuan in recent days, saying that the rest of the money would wait for a while.
After another ten minutes, the junior high school students arrived one after another, and there were originally 55 people in our class, but 5 people from this party could not come to study in other places, exactly 50 people.
So, there are ten people at a table, and there is no distinction between men and women, that is, the relationship is relatively good, everyone talks and laughs, and it feels that there is no difference at all.
Liu Xiaoting sat on my left, and she whispered to me, saying "See, the classmates are very harmonious, let you come, you still don't want to."
I laughed dryly, and was about to say a few words, when Yang Qiang, who was in a straight suit, walked to the rostrum, everyone knew that he had something to say, and suddenly the whole venue fell silent.
Yang Qiang looked around at the five tables of classmates, he said a few words briefly, and said that he welcomed the students, saying that we were lucky to know each other before, and now we all have a drink to remember the friendship and youth in junior high school.
Everyone raised their glasses, whether they drank or drank drinks, and the men and women laughed and said that they wished their friendship to last forever.
Subsequently, Yang Qiang instructed the waiter to serve hot dishes, and he did not sit at our table, but sat on the side of the sports committee, who had the best relationship with the sports committee in junior high school.
Before eating and drinking, Yang Qiang said that everyone must not be polite, eat and drink well, and drink tea in the tea house of the Garden Hotel in the afternoon.
Everyone was in a commotion again, the sports committee shouted Long live Yang Qiang, and Zhang Dewu laughed and said that Yang Qiang was sleeping disorderly, which caused the students to laugh collectively.
The atmosphere of the meal is super good, we have a table to talk and laugh, Zhang Dewu raised his glass and drank beer, toasted when he met people, and drank the two girls to the point that their faces were red.
Originally, Zhang Dewu wanted Liu Xiaoting to drink, but I promised Aunt Tian to help Liu Xiaoting block the wine, and I didn't care if Liu Xiaoting was willing or not, so I said that I would help the squad leader drink.
Zhang Dewu booed me, a few boys also booed me, and Bi Dafa sat on the side smiling silently.
"You kid, what does it have to do with the squad leader? Why do you help the squad leader block the wine? Zhang Dewu deliberately asked me, and his voice was quite loud, which made the other students present look at us curiously.
I was a little embarrassed, and said in my heart, Brother Wu, you are knowingly asking, deliberately embarrassing me, no, good boy, the next time you come to the bar to drink, it will definitely not be free.
"I'm in a relationship with him, a classmate!"
Liu Xiaoting helped me open her mouth, she said generally: "All of you here are my good classmates, I am unwell today and can't drink, Zhang Dewu, you know, women always have a few days a month." What, you have a look of disbelief, so you can go to the bathroom with me to check it out. ”
Zhang Dewu's face turned red instantly, he didn't expect Liu Xiaoting to joke like this, and the classmates were stunned for a moment, and then laughed collectively, Yang Qiang shouted Brother Wu over there, and followed the squad leader to the women's toilet to take a look.
Ha ha......
Everyone is even happier, Zhang Dewu said embarrassedly that the squad leader, you are amazing, he drank a glass of wine by himself to the end, and he no longer dared to ask Liu Xiaoting to drink.
I said in my heart, Brother Wu, don't you make a fuss, and give Liu Xiaoting a thumbs up.
The atmosphere of the meal became more and more enthusiastic, and the students began to toast everywhere, and Liu Xiaoting also took the drink to the next table.
And Zhang Dewu's feelings really wanted to bankrupt Yang Qiang, he carried a beer bottle and wandered around, and it didn't take long for him to drink staggeringly, I gave Bi Dafa a look, and asked him to accompany Zhang Dewu in the past, and protect Brother Wu by the way.
I didn't go over, I wanted to look at Liu Xiaoting, if she drank today, then I would have missed the appointment with Aunt Tian.
Syllable!
Zhang Dewu didn't stand firm when he drank, he sat directly on the chair and fell to the ground, Bi Dafa didn't have enough strength to help him, I was about to go over to help him, but Zhang Dewu spit out wine and said nothing, swayed up again, and continued to drink.
Bi Da threw a helpless expression at me, and I also shook my head, it seems that Zhang Dewu will be drunk today.
Just thinking about it, suddenly a laughing voice came from outside the door of the banquet hall: "Fuck, you group of kings and eight calves, don't wait for me to come, just start drinking!" ”
Hearing this laughter, the originally noisy banquet hall instantly became silent, so quiet that it could be heard falling pins.
