Chapter 7: The Banquet I
Li Changping, Fang Xin, and Mei Changtian are slowly familiar, sometimes, they will also chat, always love to sit on the sofa, Li Changping and Fang Xin sit on the couch, and Mei Changtian is sitting opposite, all over the world, talking about everything, slowly, the relationship is indeed getting better, of course, there is still an essential gap from the realm of good friends.
Although the school time is short, but Fang Xin is also slowly a little famous, good at learning homework, you know, ordinary children until the age of eighteen, just finished the third order, and Fang Xin has almost finished the intermediate course now, the fourth level is already a senior education, plus the wind is suave, handsome and chic, although it will not make girls laugh, but the bearing is calm, with a little boy's incomparable temperament, and is also popular with some girls.
Until the third weekend of September, Li Changping's cousin got engaged, and the two were also invited.
At this time, Fang Xin had already gained the trust of the Wu family and was able to take Wu Yanxi out to play for some time.
"You can play, if you have anything to eat, eat it." My cousin is actually only seventeen years old, probably because she is happy in her heart, so her whole body seems to be shining with crystal light, she said heartily, and said to Wu Yanxi in surprise: "Oh, whose child is this?" So cute! β
"Cousin, if you like it so much, you can give birth to a daughter yourself in the future." Li Changping said with a smile.
When the girl said this, her face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly refused, and wanted to chase and beat, but her cousin's fiancΓ©, who had already gone to work, was a little happy about this and did not speak.
Although it is more troublesome to greet the elders and congratulate the elders when they arrive at each other, but after that, it is much more relaxed, and the location is at his cousin's mother's house, the whole villa, with a small garden, is also very large, more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and there is some free.
The villa is warm and bright, the balcony is facing the park opposite, and the lake in the park is rippling with smoke, like an ink painting, this environment is really good.
Flower baskets have been moved everywhere in various rooms of the villa, and the buffet table is not one, there are several places, the napkins are white, and the food and alcohol on them are available, the only thing is that because it is a private engagement, there is no waiter, and you have to do it yourself if you want to eat.
All of them were relatives and friends, well-dressed men. Smiling ladies and cute children, these groups of people are divided into small groups according to their kinship, talking about topics, most of them wearing traditional costumes.
Traditional Chinese clothes, the beauty is beautiful, but the long sleeves are fluttering, and the daily work is always a little inconvenient, so only this kind of occasion can be worn, of course, not only that, in recent decades, social life has become more and more comfortable, and there are many people who wear Chinese clothes every day, especially women.
At this time, Fang Xin recalled more and more from his memory, on the main living room, there were a large number of various foods on it, this is a buffet, there are Western-style, snacks, snacks, nuts, cakes, salads and so on.
There are oriental, of course, the dishes are very small, and the plates are all disposable, so that you can eat them all at once, and after eating, you can put them in the trash.
En, if fair, this way of eating is much more hygienic and economical. Each person can choose their own taste and amount of food to eat, and there is no need to cross-eat, but there is a condition, that is, the quantity and variety of food are abundant, and only in this era will it slowly flourish.
"Fang Xin, there is a bartender here, do you want to drink?" Li Changping shouted.
Although there were no waiters, the skill of bartending is not something that ordinary people can learn, so I specially invited two bartenders, both in uniforms, about 30 years old, and they quickly used different types of wine to quickly mix colorful wines.
He was very enthusiastic, but Fang Xin never drank this so-called cocktail, he preferred pure alcohol, so he smiled and excused himself, found a bottle of wine, poured half a glass, and drank it slowly.
Drinking, originally to experience this drunken taste, not for drinking, and then pulled Wu Yanyan, took a plate, and began to choose among the food.
Wu Yanxi didn't know how to speak, but she could choose, and after choosing a three-color chocolate cake, Fang Xin went up and cut off a corner and put it on her plate.
He led her to the middle table and let her choose a few dishes.
Find a place to sit down, at this time, Mei Changtian also came over, after all, Li Changping saw acquaintances everywhere, and he didn't know where he went, but the two of them were actually strangers here, wouldn't it be embarrassing if they couldn't interject? So it's better to sit together and talk for a while.
At this time, it seemed that a relatively important person came, that is, a dignified and steady, very personable old man, and many people immediately greeted him.
"I heard that after the two got engaged, they were ready to live together? Ready to get married in half a year? It's too early and too fast! Mei Changtian heard some words and said with some dissatisfaction.
"This is normal, love can't be long, I used to have a friend, in love for five years, as a result, all the problems of the two ran out, each other felt unbearable, troubled, and then had to dissolve the marriage, in fact, if you get married early, the situation may be much better, after all, husband and wife are different from friends."
Mei Changtian frowned, and was suspicious: "There is such a thing, I really don't know!" β
No matter how hard he strives for perfection, concentrates on cultivation, and achieves something, but his age is limited here, many things, he still doesn't understand, Fang Xin smiled, didn't prepare to say more, just asked: "Now that you are in school, how is your work?" β
"The work is okay, I work in the red stone diamond jewelry company, the work is very pleasant, I learn jewelry design, although my design is still far from mature, but it says that my design is very aura, is focusing on training, let me play." Speaking of this, Ume Nagata laughed.
"Ha, what I'm saying is that now the jewelry shape is inclusive, if you want to get ahead, you must also have aura, it seems that you are still like a fish in water!"
"However, it's not easy to do a good job, my two pieces of diamond jewelry as a gift this time, it took me a lot of effort, and I only rated a D, maybe I still look at my newcomer, and the students in school are young to get this, and the road ahead is long!"
Fang Xin nodded and said, "You just started learning, how old are you?" If there is a C, a B, or even an A, then wouldn't those old people commit suicide by jumping off the building to apologize? β
"What about you? What's not going to be? β
"No, I'm going to do a lot of homework recently, and as for social experience and work, it's better to hold off." Fang Xin said frankly: "Recently, I have been teaching my little sister to learn some books, which is okay." β
In this era, due to the skill tree, the specialization and focus of learning, coupled with the short semester time, it is not surprising that there is a job early, and the law stipulates that after the age of twelve, you can work part-time, of course, this is under the system of parental and social supervision.
"Ah, I really envy you, you don't have to worry about life, you can pursue your goals wholeheartedly!"
"It's actually hard to say, now that there is basic social security, as long as you are willing to live in the resettlement housing of the imperial government, eat welfare food, and pursue learning or cultivation with peace of mind, you can also improve, once you have achievements, you naturally don't need to do other work, do you remember Jiang Bi?"
Jiang Bi is dedicated to the pursuit of his own knowledge, living in the government's resettlement housing for ten years, eating welfare meals, ten years later, breaking out of the shell, with his professional attainments and becoming famous in one fell swoop, and suddenly jumped into the level of social elites.
