Chapter 17: The Birthday Feast
Dad Lin is very happy for a while, and he is happy to see everyone! The daughter said that she would hold his birthday banquet in her hometown, and promised to open 100 banquets! Having lived in the countryside all his life, what he values most is face. can make such a grand banquet on his 60th birthday, he feels that the peak of his life is nothing more than that.
Think about it: which daughter has such filial piety? What old man is as beautiful as himself? This made him walk with the wind, and everything he saw was pleasing to the eye, and his old face seemed to be several years younger, so that Mother Lin couldn't help but laugh at him:
"Look at your unproductive appearance, when I'm 60 years old, I'll open a 200 table for you."
"I see that you are envious, jealous and hateful, and they all say that your daughter is her father's little padded jacket, which is not wrong at all. Back then, I don't know how many people secretly laughed at my old Lin Wuhou. Now they are still working hard to earn money to buy a car and a house for their son to pay off the mortgage, and they are still disliked by their daughter-in-law at every turn. Look at! Not only do I have grandchildren now, but my daughters are also vying to be filial to me, and people live like me! It's worth all the hard work! ”
"Look at you! Alright, old man, it's time for us to write an invitation! We're each responsible for our own guest lists, and then we put them together. Otherwise, if 100 tables are not satisfied, it will be a shame! ”
"Well, that's exactly what you're talking about!" The two elders dug out the account books of their money for many years, and prepared to take back the money they had given out without landing.
Lin Yue and Cao An also mobilized their circle of friends, especially the relatives and friends who borrowed money last time, but they also carefully designed the electronic invitation, written in large black and bold letters: "Please be sure to attend!" There are great gifts! ”
"Xiao Yi, no matter what method you use, immediately invite your brother-in-law and his relatives, as well as any friends you think are important, to the banquet!"
"Big sister, what the hell are you doing, how is this possible? It's not a festive day, and being able to send a representative is already a great shame for me! Lin Yi didn't understand her sister's request. My sister's whole life has been crawling at the bottom of society, and she has never poked her head out to see the lives of the upper class. So she won't understand the importance of time for the elite.
"Really, can't? Then can you bring your brother-in-law's parents, sister and brother-in-law? ”
Lin Yue was a little unwilling, in the past few days, she could faintly feel that the end was getting closer and closer, obviously there was still nearly a month to go, but she could smell the danger looming! The northeast is too far away, and she has never been there, and if something is wrong, she can't help if she wants to.
"What about the child going to school, and there is no holiday!"
"Xiaoyi, you listened to me for everything you said before, and you forgot it? I don't care! You have to do it for me! ”
The biggest truth in the world is to mess around. Lin Yue didn't care about how her sister complained about her in her heart, she had to persuade more people!
"Uncle and aunt, if you don't bring Cao Jian over, I won't go to your house in the future! I'm serious! It's more real than pearls! ”
"Aunt and uncle, you just let Yaoyao take a day off! Anyway, the grades are not good, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her a little! Twelve or thirteen-year-old girls are sensitive when their minds are sensitive, and they are naturally resistant to their parents' words, so why don't I persuade her! ”
…………
On February 28 of the old calendar, the weather is sunny and suitable for travel!
Under the light steel greenhouse in Shaziping, there are 100 tables of banquets on the ground, which looks quite spectacular. Dad Lin wore brand new clothes and accepted everyone's congratulations with a smile.
Two sisters, with their two sons-in-law, stood at the door to greet the guests. After Lin Yue's various threats, intimidation and temptation, most of the people came! The short highway is lined with cars of various brands, and you can see the changed sand flats, various buildings, and huge breeding scales. Some people feel in their hearts that they have guessed Lin Yue's thoughts:
"It's not that there is no money to pay back now, so please invite so many people to make some money!"
"It turned out that she borrowed money everywhere to make a pomp and circumstance for the old man's birthday, but fortunately I was smart and didn't lend her money. God knows when it will be back! ”
"Dear relatives and friends, dear friends, dear neighbors! Welcome to Mr. Lin's 60th birthday banquet. First of all, we wish Mr. Lin good health! 100 years old! ………… Here, on behalf of Mr. Lin's family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my relatives, friends, and neighbors! Thank you! Please eat well! Drink well! Walk in the door with an empty stomach and go home with your stomach in your hand! ”
The dish is a hard dish, and the wine is a good wine. Although the relatives of the three parties may not be very familiar with each other, their love for fine wine and food is interconnected. As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, everyone took chopsticks and ate and drank.
Dad Lin wants to go to toast! However, he was not allowed to drink alcohol after surgery in the past, Cao An and Guo Feng deservedly became the wine substitutes of the old man, and the audience toasted in turn.
No matter what kind of caution there is, at the old man's birthday banquet, no one will be stupid and do anything out of the ordinary.
Everyone was smiling, and the sound of blessings and laughter were intertwined into a warm scene. But these people don't include Liu Ping and his brothers and sisters!
"This daughter-in-law is really a super broom, and she sweeps her husband's money to her mother's house without a sound. Look at this table, which of us is willing to spend money like this? Little sister, I think you should just let Anbao divorce. ”
"I said why did she want such a large sum of money, you look at the thousands of pigs, tens of thousands of chickens and ducks, and so many cattle and sheep, now the cattle are expensive! This is to use the brother-in-law's bone money to fill their Lin family's treasury! ”
"I don't know what kind of son I gave birth to, I was stunned by this woman, and I was angry with me!"
"One by two, say less! Is there anything you can't say behind closed doors? Is it nice to be heard? "My grandmother is old, and she usually likes to listen to some words about her children's filial piety and longevity. At this time, seeing that his children were becoming more and more presumptuous in his words, he couldn't help but reprimand and stop them.
Lin Yue didn't have time to care about their complaints, and while he was eating, he felt a vibration from the space, and hurriedly ran to the bathroom and flashed into the space.
I saw that the surroundings of the originally white space and the sky suddenly became translucent, and there was thunder and lightning outside, as if I had arrived at the cosmic galaxy in the movie, and I vaguely saw irregular stones, large or small, floating in the dark.
"It's ...... Is this space? If space exists dependent on the planet, now the scenery has changed! That is, the location of the planet has also changed! Not good! The end times are coming! ”
Maybe it's a blessing to the soul! She guessed the correct answer at once, and in an instant. The whole heart seemed to sink into the cold deep sea, panicked, helpless, and panicked about the future.
Looking at the space full of materials piled up as high as a mountain in addition to the farmland, she finally settled down a little and felt a little comfort.
