Chapter Seventy-One: Class Reunion 2
The class reunion announced by Liang Xiaoyan was set for Tuesday night, and the location was at the Drinking Water House. This is just a small-scale class reunion, and Liang Xiaoyan has appointments with classmates who work in the county seat of drinking water, and they are basically fellow villagers in the same county. Because they all graduated from Luoyang Normal College, most of them are teachers.
To be honest, they have not graduated from college for a long time, they have not been working for a few years, and most of them are ordinary workers who get dead wages. It's a bit of a luxury to choose such an upscale venue to party. But why did you set the place in the drinking house? Because there is a "big money" sitting in the east today, this big money is called Dong Ke, who is a rich second generation in Drinking Water County, and he is also the only one among the people attending the party today whose profession is not a teacher.
In fact, Dong Ke was the actual organizer of this gathering, because he did not work in the education industry after graduation, so he had less contact with his fellow teachers and classmates. So to organize this party, the only way to contact Liang Xiaoyan, the principal, is to trouble.
To say that Dong Ke arranged this party, in fact, it was mainly for Liang Xiaoyan. Dong Ke was recently promoted to section chief in the county office, and he wanted to show off his strength in front of Liang Xiaoyan. When they were studying at Luoyang Normal Academy, Dong Ke, Liang Xiaoyan and Zhou Liqi were not in the same department, they all met at the hometown party held at the school. In fact, beauties like Zhou Liqi and Liang Xiaoyan, as long as they are boys attending the party, they will easily remember them. Dong Ke not only remembered them, but also deeply remembered the two beauties.
Zhou Liqi is a girl with traditional and conservative thoughts, and her personality is also very quiet, and she rarely talks to boys. On the contrary, Liang Xiaoyan has a more flamboyant personality, and she also seems cheerful and open when she comes into contact with boys.
Dong Ke's family conditions are relatively superior, and his father is a businessman. So since he was a child, he had a natural sense of self-superiority, which also cultivated his conceited and flamboyant character. But he found opportunities to talk to Zhou Liqi several times, but Zhou Liqi ignored him indifferently. Or that people don't want to take care of him at all. So he compared the two beautiful girls, and finally decided to turn his pursuit to Liang Xiaoyan.
However, he was once again hit mercilessly. Although Liang Xiaoyan seems to be free and romantic in personality, she is also very generous in her interactions with boys. But what Liang Xiaoyan likes is not only economic strength, she prefers handsome guys, but also handsome guys with connotation. And this is Dong Ke's ultimate weakness, not only is he not handsome, but he is a little overweight, in his twenties, 1.70 meters tall, and his weight has reached about 180 pounds. In the end, although he was stalking, he finally found nothing, and watched Liang Xiaoyan get along with an alumnus of the same level (Liang Xiaoyan's first love).
After graduating, Dong Ke was assigned to the county and became a government cadre. Later, I asked Liang Xiaoyan to come out to play a few times, but it was okay to eat and sing, as long as Dong Keyi proposed the matter of the two of them. Liang Xiaoyan will resolutely refuse immediately. It wasn't until Liang Xiaoyan and Li Hongfei got married that Dong Ke was completely dead, but he was always a little unwilling.
Although Dong Ke said that he was high-profile, Liang Xiaoyan didn't hate him. After all, Dong Ke is flattering to her, although Liang Xiaoyan doesn't like his appearance and personality, but his pursuit of Liang Xiaoyan can satisfy a woman's inner vanity.
In the evening, Li Jie and Zhou Liqi drove a black Toyota to the drinking house. Entering the private room, Dong Ke and Liang Xiaoyan were already waiting there. Seeing the two of them entering the house, Liang Xiaoyan hurriedly got up and sat down. and pulled Zhou Liqi to sit next to him and talked enthusiastically. But Dong Ke just smiled and nodded to Zhou Liqi and said, "Here, sit casually." Then he lit a cigarette and smoked it, but he didn't let Li Jie. Li Jie sat down, his hand instinctively reached into his clothes to get a cigarette, but he stopped, he wanted to take out his cigarette and light it, but he saw that there was a soft China on the table in front of Dong Ke, and the Yuxi cigarette he was carrying was specially bought for today's party. Li Jie and Dong Ke were only alumni in the school, and they didn't have any communication now, and from Dong Ke's eyes, he couldn't see any enthusiasm, and even a little contempt, so he stopped taking the cigarette. In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Jie picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it alone.
After a while, several male and female students also came one after another. Dong Ke and Liang Xiaoyan sat in the main seat in the middle, and Liang Xiaoyan still pulled Zhou Liqi to sit next to her, and then beckoned the others to sit. Dong Ke was relatively polite to the others. Maybe it's because of Zhou Liqi, he is really a little jealous of Li Jie, and he feels that the school flower that he didn't dare to chase back then was inserted in cow dung as a flower. Therefore, the attitude towards this "cow dung" is obviously not very friendly.
After a while, the waiter served several special dishes, which were all ordered by Dong Ke and Liang Xiaoyan in advance. Dong Ke asked the waiter to take the recipe and let everyone in the room order it casually, and everyone apologized, but no one ordered. Because the people here are ordinary teachers, in their opinion, any dish on the recipe is expensive enough, and they don't pay for it themselves, so they are embarrassed to order. In the end, it was Liang Xiaoyan who made the decision and ordered a few more dishes.
At the beginning of the feast, Dong Ke asked the waiter to fill everyone's wine first, and then proposed that everyone drink one together for this gathering.
Finish the first drink. One of the male classmates made another suggestion: "Do you want to drink one together to congratulate Section Chief Dong on his ascension?" So everyone responded and drank a second glass.
When the waiter poured the third cup, Dong Ke offered to drink another cup for the sake of Principal Liang's step-by-step ascension. But Liang Xiaoyan said, don't forget, where is our Director Li still sitting here? Of course, she was referring to Li Jie.
A few of you didn't know that Li Jie had become the deputy director of academic affairs, after all, they were just ordinary faculty members, and some of them might not be able to mix up a position in their lifetime, not to mention that Li Jie was less than 30 years old. After Liang Xiaoyan's introduction, they also clinked glasses with Li Jie to congratulate. Compared with Dong Ke and Liang Xiaoyan, Li Jie is just a deputy director of teaching, so Dong Ke didn't take him too seriously when he heard it.
After three glasses of wine, everyone began to taste expensive dishes. Eat and chat at the same time. Dong Ke accidentally saw the necklace around Liang Xiaoyan's neck, Dong Ke still knows a little bit about gold and silver jewelry, he can see that Liang Xiaoyan is wearing a valuable item!
"Xiaoyan, you bought this chain with a lot of money, can you appreciate it? Dong Ke asked.
"Ordinary goods, nothing to look at. Liang Xiaoyan said this, but she still removed the necklace around her neck and handed it to Dong Ke.
"Okay! This is still an ordinary product, I'm afraid it must be worth at least 20,000! Dong Ke said exaggeratedly. But he really didn't expect Liang Xiaoyan to wear such expensive jewelry!
After listening to Dong Ke's words, everyone present also cast envious glances.
"Principal Liang, your husband is really generous to you! That's a good man for his job. Dong Ke said, deliberately setting his eyes on Li Jie and Zhou Liqi. "Director Li, the jewelry you bought for our Zhou Meinu must be very expensive, right? She is the first school flower of our teacher's college! Dong Ke clearly had something to say.
Li Jie not only had a little fever on his face, but he didn't know how to answer for a while. Not to mention 20,000, from falling in love with Zhou Liqi to the present, he has never even bought a piece of jewelry for his wife that is more than 2,000.
Zhou Liqi saw that Dong Ke's words were a bit aimed at her husband, so she casually retorted: "Only poor couples can see the truth!" Don't you know this? ″
"You pervert, you only have beautiful women in your eyes! Come, let's all have a drink together. Liang Xiaoyan took back the necklace from Dong Ke's hand, and interrupted Dong Ke's words jokingly, and at the same time resolved the awkward atmosphere ...... the banquet.
On the way home, Li Jie lost the excitement he had when he came. He didn't say anything all the way, just drove silently. Zhou Liqi knew that he was angry about what happened to Dong Ke's banquet, so he comforted: "How can you be angry with this kind of person, is it worth it?" Do you think your wife is the kind of person who loves money? "
After listening to Zhou Liqi's words, Li Jie did not answer. Yes! Zhou Liqi never disliked him because of poverty, otherwise, he would not have chosen him in the first place!
"Liqi, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a life like Liang Xiaoyan." After a while, Li Jie said seriously and deeply.
How did Li Jie know that in fact, Zhou Liqi didn't care about material wealth. If that's the case, just a word from Zhou Liqi, Song Jianye gave her more than a necklace .......
