Chapter 17: The Great Banquet
After about an hour, someone took me out and a car was parked in the yard. Pull open the door and go inside. It turned out to be Director Cao who was driving, and he turned to me and said, "Let's go, Liu Yingying." "I really feel speechless when I hear this title, but what can I say if I am the director? Just laughed a little.
The car started, and after a while, I came to a large hotel in the city. As soon as the car stopped, a waiter came to open the door. I got out of the car and followed the chief into the hall. As soon as I entered the hall, I didn't expect there to be so many people. I was really shocked. Not only the family members, but also the leaders, the media and the people who participated in the rescue in the first place came. The moderator took the stage and announced that the governor would personally award me with a certificate of merit and a bonus. I was really excited to come up to the stage to accept the award. The certificate is nothing, but the red bill of 10,000 yuan is quite hot in my hand. Next, I want to say a few words, in the face of so many people, I can't open my mouth a little, but fortunately, I have the tempering of the press conference just now, and I simply said a few good words and came down.
I came down and called home, saying that I wouldn't be going home for dinner today. Let Mom and Dad eat first. At six o'clock in the evening, the dinner began, and the people at the same table with me were all big leaders. This made me a little uncomfortable, and when I turned around, I saw Director Cao on the table next to me, I have seen a lot of big leaders in the past two days, but Director Cao is the only one who can really speak. So I was going to go next door. After all, there are acquaintances who are good to talk to, and as soon as I got up and walked over, someone hurriedly came over and brought me back again, and instructed: "You are a guest today, and this seat is specially arranged for you." "I've never been to such a formal banquet, so I don't know how to be so particular about sitting at the table.
When the dishes were served, they were all beautiful. Those big leaders have all seen the market, and for this kind of meal, they will not eat until the waiter distributes the food to their side, and they don't stand up to serve the food by themselves. But I don't understand, a dish came up before the waiter divided it, and I came with a chopstick. But no one spoke, but I felt too embarrassed to eat, so I ate from the table by myself. The nervousness is self-evident.
At this time, the phone rang suddenly, and it almost ticked me out for a heart attack. When I picked it up and saw that it was a fat man, I lowered my head to answer, and the fat man sounded very excited: "Brother Dong, I heard that you fell into the pit yesterday and saved forty people?" Is it true? I said angrily: "You dead fat man, don't do business well, what's the matter." I'm going to do good deeds. The fat man said, "Yes, yes, yes." Do good deeds and fall! I quickly said, "Phew! What fell? Are you okay? If it's okay, go home after selling. The fat man smiled and said: "It's sold out early, don't you know, now the TV is full of your business, and many people who know you come to the vegetable market to look for you, so I sold all the vegetables to them." Even the leftovers from the past are sold out. When I heard this, I became angry and said, "You calf, take Lao Tzu for business." See how I clean you up when I go back. With that, he hung up the phone.
The process of eating was quite painful for me. The leaders will talk to me about family life for a while, and ask this and that for a while. The most curious thing is why I went down and was fine. I can't really say why. Don't dare to talk nonsense. It can only be said that it is not clear to be perfunctory. Later, he simply ate wildly, and the leader didn't talk to me much when he saw me eating.
After dinner, I thought it was over, but I didn't expect it to be over. That was to shake hands with everyone, and many family members of the rescued people came. I want to thank you in person, it's much easier than a meal and a speech, everyone lined up, and I went over to shake hands with them one by one. There are those who send pennants, and there are those who send plaques. There was also an aunt who was so excited that she almost knelt down. Fortunately, there were many people who helped me up. In short, not only were they excited, but I was also excited. At this time, a familiar face appeared in the crowd, Shen Meng? She's coming too? I didn't want to get tangled with her, and I bypassed her to shake hands with the others, and she didn't seem happy. Stretched out his hand and grabbed me, stuffed a red envelope into my arms, said that it was to thank me on behalf of my family, and turned around and left. Everyone was looking at me, and the camera was pointing at me. It made the atmosphere very embarrassing. I quickly turned around and continued to shake hands with everyone, so as not to embarrass me too much.
The dinner was finally over, and Director Cao drove me home. A busy day should be over when you get home. But today is different, there are a lot of neighbors in the corridor. When they saw me get out of the police car, they quickly surrounded me. It should have come out after reading today's foreshadowing report. As soon as I surrounded it, I asked the cave to ask the west, and some people asked me what kind of immortal I was? The common people love to be superstitious about these things. It's all neighborhoods, and it's hard to say anything disrespectful. I could only say a few perfunctory words, and then squeezed into the corridor to open the door and go home. But as soon as I entered the door, I found that there were a lot of seven aunts and eight aunts in the family. There was no way to do it now, so I quickly made tea and poured water. I talked to them about saving people. After a busy day, I can't rest when I get home. It seems that this celebrity is not easy to be a good person.
