Chapter 59 Flattering
In the evening of the same day, Yu Lian came to Su Yue with a pot of dumplings.
After Su Yue moved over, she went over to eat at first, and then under the pretext of being busy, she opened a small stove here, but she didn't have time to cook just to get some dumplings and scald some cakes to eat.
Yu Lian knew it, so she did what she liked.
"Yue Yue, you boil and eat these dumplings!"
Su Yue knew that she was okay and didn't go to the Three Treasures Palace, so she didn't hesitate, she accepted the things and asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”
"Yue Yue, that's the case, half a month later, it's my forty-fifth birthday, I want to do a little thing, can you invite your parents over when the time comes, as well as your uncle and uncle, all the people in the town come over to eat, put the words in front first, don't accept gifts, don't accept anyone's gifts, just come to dinner to give face!" Yu Lian smiled.
If you were someone else, you would definitely praise her for a while, but Su Yue knew her too well, Yu Lian was a person who couldn't afford to be unprofitable, so generous, she must be tired.
"Cheng, I'll go back tomorrow to talk!"
Yu Lian left satisfied.
The next day, the news that Yu Lian was going to celebrate her forty-fifth birthday spread, because of her bad reputation a while ago, she decided to earn face for herself this time, not to accept gifts, and to invite neighbors to eat and drink, everyone is very willing to cheer, rural people are like this, who has sincerity, they are also willing to abandon prejudice to support.
Yu Lian is in full swing to get ready.
The old ladies in the countryside are not so careful, not to mention that it is someone else's own family matter, so Yu Lian is not good, so she didn't pay too much attention to it, and now seeing her lively attitude, everyone is politely persuading.
The rules of the old countryside, someone has a birthday, but they all have to sing, this singing opera can't be advocated by themselves, someone has to persuade it to be interesting, in order to show that this person is popular in the local area.
There are many people who persuade them, and the children of the birthday star's family can't bear it, so they naturally have to sing, and then set up a stage and invite the team, which is very lively.
Yu Lian was not persuaded by anyone, but later several old gentlemen said that it was not easy for her to be a widowed mother with a child, and she gave some face, so some people persuaded her.
At first, several young daughters-in-law and sisters-in-law went to persuade them, but Yu Lian waved her hand and shook her head.
You don't necessarily make money by holding birthdays and inviting wine, so how can you sing? Wouldn't that be a loss?
She choppedly refused.
Just as the new emperor ascends to the throne, there must be three rounds.
For the first time, everyone didn't take it seriously.
In the second round, there were a few wives in their fifties, generally speaking, with Yu Lian's status here, this round was almost the same, not to mention that the old ladies who came were older than her.
But Yu Lian felt a little irritable and still refused.
This time, there was an old lady who was not happy.
"I really gave her a little face, she opened a dyeing workshop, I persuaded the drama to be successful, but she lost face!"
Everyone persuaded,
"Maybe she wants to wait for the third round!"
"Phew, a woman with a bad reputation is also worthy?" The old lady took a sip,
"She does wine, I'll just let my daughter-in-law go, I won't go!"
Everyone laughed hehe, and they could only respond.
So, at last, the third wave came, and this time, a few old men with white beards, and a few old ladies and sisters-in-law in their thirties and forties, and so on, came about ten people.
The room was full, and there was a brazier in the middle of the hall, in which was placed a huge tree root, and the fire was burning.
Yu Lian is a foreigner, she doesn't understand the rules here, and she feels very annoyed, but she still fights and copes with it.
The sesame bean tea is good, the melon seeds and peanuts are put on the table, and a bottle of liquor is also taken.
"What about your daughter-in-law, why don't you call her to entertain guests!" An old gentleman looked around and didn't see Su Yue, and ordered.
Yu Lian hooked the corners of her lips on the side, "Ouch, the more teachers in our family are, she can hold it, and she will never come out to entertain guests!" ”
Mrs. He was also there today, and replied coldly: "The final exam is coming soon, and the more you are teaching students in a rented house, it's normal to have no time!" ”
"Rented house?" The old man's tone was very high, his eyes looked around, and he glanced at the yellow sorghum,
"This house is so big, it has three floors, do you still need to rent it?"
Yu Lian's face flushed, and she hurriedly explained: "It's that there are too many students, plus we have a lot of goods here, and we don't have any land, so we just rent one temporarily, come on, Cao Yu, quickly fill the wine for the old man!" ”
Cao Yu immediately poured wine for everyone, and Yu Lian looked at the empty bottles of Lao Baigan, distressed and dripping blood!
I have been doing it for a long time, and everyone still means the same, in the eyes of these old men and old ladies, this is to give Yu Lian full face, or the street village chief said to take care of the outsiders, otherwise they would not run this way at night on a cold day!
Although many people also came for this drink, after all, the Cao family has a good background in this street and earns a lot of money, and everyone is a little blushing.
But Yu Lian still refused.
"Old brothers, I know that you cherish me, but our family really doesn't have the money to hire a troupe, I asked, this comes and goes for two or three thousand, and the more we become teachers, the more we only pay more than 100 yuan a month, how do you say that you have the money to invite the troupe class!"
Everyone persuaded again, Yu Lian's attitude was still very resolute, and Cao Yu was about to agree, but Yu Lian bit her mouth and didn't let go.
In the end, everyone was angry.
"You don't have a face to you, you don't inquire, the rules of our Zhounan County, persuasion can persuade three rounds, even if you borrow money, you have to sing, this is the rule!"
The old man Chen, who was the leader, trembled his white eyebrows and became angry.
"That's it, Sister Yu, why don't you understand these rules, you are a foreigner, you have to follow the customs, didn't the old Zhang family sing in the first half of this year? Several sons of his family, two are not married, the conditions are similar to your family, people persuade them to sing once, you have three times, to put it mildly, you are still a woman, if it weren't for the big guy looking at you as a widow, it is not easy to give you some face, do you think you invited us to come? ”
Yu Lian apologized, but still didn't agree.
In the end, several old men angrily flipped the table and left.
"I don't know how to lift!"
Everyone happily entered the door, snorted out of the door, and scolded all the way.
In normal times, Yu Lian must be careful, but when it comes to money, she is 10,000 and does not regress, she can pit anything, and she must not pit her money!
"Mom, why don't you agree, look, what will we say about this street in the future?" Cao Yu was very unhappy.
"No matter what they say, how can they persuade and persuade them, I doubt that they are pumping oil and water with other people's troupes, and they have this dead face to persuade them!" Yu Lian was also very annoyed, she ate dozens of yuan tonight, and she was distressed to death.
Cao Yu felt that his mother's nonsense had reached a certain point.
"I've asked, the whole Zhounan County is the rules here, Mom, you think too badly of others!" Cao Yu said bitterly.
Yu Lian rolled his eyes,
"Even if that's the case, what can I do, why should I pay people to watch the fun, I don't like to watch dramas!"
Cao Yu had nothing to say, shook his head and went out.
"Where are you going?"
"Play cards!" Cao Yu's voice is high!
Yu Lian angrily chased to the door, "Hey, you come back for me!" ”
