Chapter 258: "Harmonious" Dinner
In the blink of an eye, it was time to eat.
Two square tables were put together, and nearly 20 people sat around for dinner.
Xu Xiuwen's uncle is called Ning Zhuo.
The first two words of the four sisters are the same, and the last word is Chunlan Qiuju.
Ning Wanqiu ranked third, so she was called Ning Wanqiu.
While eating, Aunt Ning Wanchun suddenly said, "Third sister, Xu Xiuwen is going to college this year, right?" ”
Ning Wanqiu snorted.
The aunt then said, "Then why didn't you notify us to go to the college banquet?" You're not doing the right thing. ”
Ning Wanqiu explained: "There was no college banquet. ”
The aunt asked knowingly, "Why don't you hold a college entrance banquet?" ”
The aunt and the mother have always been at odds with each other, and at this time, this question sounds like a good problem.
But everyone knew she had bad intentions.
As soon as Xu Xiuwen's college entrance examination results came out, Ning Wanqiu informed her parents, so everyone in the family knew that Xu Xiuwen did not do well in the exam.
Although they all knew that the aunt had bad intentions, no one spoke.
My grandfather and grandmother have always been soft-natured and can't interject.
Ning Wanqiu's expression was calm, and she patiently explained: "He has taken three exams for Xiuwen, so there is no need to hold a college banquet." ”
When the aunt heard this, she immediately said loudly: "Sanben is also a university, how can you justify not holding a college banquet, don't you people in the city pay attention to these?" Our family Li Lei was admitted to the first book, although we live in the countryside, but we have to hold a college banquet for our children to smash pots and sell iron, otherwise wouldn't we be inferior? ”
Ning Wanqiu didn't speak.
The aunt finally showed her minions.
Seeing that Ning Wanqiu didn't speak, she turned her head to Xu Xiuwen and said, "Xiuwen, don't complain about your mother, she may think that you are embarrassed to take the three books, so I'm embarrassed to do it, it's okay." ”
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Ning Wanqiu, and said: "You are also a mother, your vanity is too strong, although the three books are not as good as the one of our Li Lei, but they are also universities." ”
Li Lei suddenly interjected, "Mom, three books can't be regarded as universities, only colleges." ”
Aunt Ning Wanchun didn't understand, so she asked, "What's the difference?" ”
Li Lei coughed and explained, "The name of the university is all so-and-so university, and if there are three books, the name of the school is all so-and-so college, which is not the same at all!" And their tuition fees are very expensive, it seems to be more than 10,000 a year. ”
The second aunt suddenly interjected, "In that case, Sanben seems to be similar to our Wu Qiang's junior college, and their school is called XX Technical College." ”
Li Lei nodded and said, "It's really no difference, it's just that the score is a little higher." ”
When the second aunt heard this, she immediately shouted: "It's the same as our family Wu Qiang, it's all colleges." I feel that it is not as good as our family Wu Qiang, Wu Qiang went to a technical college, so he can learn a technology, and when he graduates, he can find a job. ”
The second aunt Ning Wanlan reminded with special concern: "Third sister, you have to have a snack, otherwise you won't be able to find a job when you come out, and it's not four years of college for nothing." ”
Auntie said: "Xiuwen, don't be discouraged, although you didn't do well in the exam, as long as you work hard and strive to win the national scholarship like our Li Lei, this can also help your mother reduce the burden." ”
At the dinner table every year, it is customary for the eldest aunt and the second aunt to sarcastically mock Ning Wanqiu.
This situation has become more serious in the last year.
Because of my aunt's son Li Qiang, he was admitted to a university last year.
In 2005, the number of college students in the village was very small, so Li Qiang's achievements earned Ning Wanchun a lot of light.
When Ning Wanqiu heard the eldest sister's words, she didn't get angry, but asked in surprise: "Li Lei has won the national scholarship?" ”
The aunt raised her head with a triumphant expression.
"Yes, although our family is not bad for money, the 4,000 yuan is awarded by the state to outstanding students, and we can't do without it. Li Lei also used this money to buy clothes for me, Mom, Dad, the wine I brought today was bought by Li Lei with money, this is his heart. ”
As soon as the aunt's words came out.
My grandparents immediately smiled and said, "The eldest grandson is really filial." ”
The second aunt was very jealous and didn't want the scenery to be snatched away by her alone.
She also immediately said, "Mom and Dad, although our Wu Qiang's grades are not good, he is hardworking and willing to work, he took advantage of the vacation to earn money and bought cigarettes for you." ”
The second aunt's family came with a cigarette.
Grandparents turned to praise Wu Qianglai.
The uncle didn't speak at this time, but the aunt thought about the wine that the aunt said, and planned to go home at night and bring the wine back.
Anyway, the old couple don't drink.
As for cigarettes, you can leave a pack for the old man, and take the rest back to your uncle to smoke, and save money to buy them.
Aunt Ning Wanju saw that her two sisters were in the limelight, and she had no choice.
Her daughter is still young, her son has just entered junior high school, his grades are not good, and their family conditions are average, so they only bought a few large packets of gummies when they came.
The eldest aunt and the second aunt saw that Ning Wanqiu didn't speak, so they asked, "Third sister, what did you bring with you when you came back, you are from the city, you won't be so stingy that you don't buy anything, and come back empty-handed to eat, right?" ”
When my grandmother heard this, she hurriedly said, "Qiu'er brought a lot of things back, and I put them in the room." ”
The aunt pursed her lips and continued: "You won't buy some snacks and fruits and send your parents away, right?" ”
Grandma hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, Qiu'er bought two boxes of wine, two boxes of milk, two cigarettes, and bought clothes for our old couple, and also bought clothes for He Suo and Lili." ”
The eldest aunt and the second aunt were a little surprised when they heard this.
Immediately, the aunt snorted: "These will be displayed every year." ”
When my aunt and aunt heard my grandmother's words, they immediately asked, "Did you buy clothes for He Suo (Lili)?" Where's the clothes? ”
Grandma replied, "It's all in the room." ”
Aunt immediately said to Ning Jiali: "Lili, go in and take out your clothes." ”
Ning Jiali couldn't stand her mother, but she couldn't resist, otherwise she would inevitably be counted down when she went home, so she had to put down the dishes and chopsticks and go into the house to get her clothes.
He Suo also put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked into the house under the signal of his aunt.
It's easy to find clothes, so I put them on the bed.
There are a lot of clothes on the bed, and the clothes of my grandparents are very easy to distinguish, except for their clothes, they are the clothes that Ning Wanqiu bought for her and He Suo.
Ning Jiali and He Suo respectively took the clothes that Ning Wanqiu bought for them and returned to the big house.
Ning Jiali has three clothes, a white down jacket from Bosideng, a black cardigan, and a dark jeans.
The three clothes look very foreign and fashionable.
Ning Jiali liked it after just one look.
He Suo only has two pieces of clothing, a top, a trousers, but a pair of Red Star sneakers.
He Suo also liked this set of clothes and shoes very much, and he couldn't close his mouth when he smiled.
