"Leaders, I'm going to pick up my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Zhu Guofu and the others did not let Jiang Xiaobai leave, and he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Really?"

Fu Dezheng was slightly stunned for a moment, and asked with some disbelieving.

Jiang Xiaobai was also speechless, "Is this so easy to deceive you, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are from Jianyang, and they haven't been to the house yet." ”

Zhu Guofu smiled wryly: "You go to pick up the old man, say it earlier." ”

Only then did he let go of the hand that grabbed Jiang Xiaobai.

Wang Dekun also said: "That's it, you go quickly, don't worry about us." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "You will eat first when the banquet is opened, and I will come when I go." ”

After saying that, hurry up and slip away.

I thought that it was best to come back by myself, Fu Dezheng and they had all eaten, so as not to pull the wine skin with them.

After Jiang Xiaobai left, Zhu Guofu said: "That kid wants to hide from drinking, no way!" ”

Wang Dekun nodded, "Didn't he say to pick up his father-in-law, let's wait for his father-in-law to arrive and help him accompany him." ”

"Gotta get it!"

"I'll see it!"

"That's it!"

Qian Fangyi, Xu Wenbin, Zhou Changsong and others all agreed.

This kid is not authentic, he doesn't say anything about the whole wine at home, and he hides from drinking when the banquet is about to start.

Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it.

Including Fu Dezheng, several people discussed and wanted to take revenge at the banquet.

Well, his father-in-law came at the right time.

Even his father-in-law got drunk together, not only can he take revenge, but he can also collect some interest.

When the time comes, ask Jiang Xiaobai to eat Coptis chinensis dumbly.

Well, we help accompany your father-in-law, is there anything wrong?

After the plan was planned, several people felt indescribably happy, knocking on the spiced melon seeds, and waiting for Jiang Xiaobai to come back.

"Sitting!"

"Sitting!"

"If you haven't eaten yet, sit down!"

“……”

Jiang Haitian shouted loudly in the small dam, in the courtyard, and in every room, inviting the guests to sit down.

Many guests left their seats and rushed to the place where the table was opened.

Some of them are very fast, anxious to go to the table, some are slow, some are with acquaintances, and there are also guests who do not go to the table, and the people next to them ask and say that they are not hungry and wait for the next table.

The banquet was held in the east wing of the courtyard, and one seat was opened in one house, and 10 seats were opened together.

In the countryside, there are eight people at a table, regardless of adults and children.

"Table by table is full!"

Jiang Haitian came to the place where the banquet was held again and kept greeting.

Soon, the 10 tables were full of guests, and Jiang Haitian made another opening remark:

"Everyone who helps!

Set up a stool and prepare for the table!

Dear Friends, Neighbors, Fellow Villagers,

Today's owner is on a happy occasion, on behalf of the owner to the relatives and friends and neighbors who came from afar, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks, in such a hot weather, moved your gold and silver steps to wade through mountains and rivers, and also spent money Fermi came to the cold house far away, if the host is not thoughtful, we can not help the service, please forgive and forgive.

You came to the humble house, one to win glory, and the other to say joy.

We are a table with high benches and low benches, many soups and few dishes, no good food on the table, no good dishes to entertain, a table of coarse tea and light rice, please be informal, eat full, and drink good wine.

……”

What he said here was lively, but few people listened.

As soon as the food was served, everyone started to eat with chopsticks.

Well, the main reason is that this banquet is open with eight large bowls and eight small bowls, a full sixteen dishes, chicken, duck and fish, or rice.

Nowadays, when can people in the countryside eat so many good dishes? When do you get rice?

Not to mention that the rice is full today.

"Add rice!"

"Add rice!"

“……”

In the countryside, there is no desire to eat and drink, so there are special people who help to add food.

The guests are all open to eat, the sound of "adding rice" comes and goes, and the people who help add rice are running around the banquet with a rice bowl, and they are very busy.

During the banquet, each guest will be filled with a cigarette.

Those who smoked all smiled and took it, and those who didn't smoke refused and some took it.

In particular, some female guests do not smoke themselves, but when they receive cigarettes, they can give them to close friends or take them home to their husbands.

The guests are full of food, and they are also particular about leaving the table.

When you are full, put down the dishes and chopsticks, gesture with the chopsticks, and tell the other guests at the table to eat slowly.

Here, the chopsticks are also delicate.

Generally, the right hand holds the chopsticks, the left palm is spread out, the chopsticks are out, indicating that the parents have passed away, and the chopsticks are above the palm, indicating that the parents are alive.

When the guests put down the dishes and chopsticks, the people who poured the tea served hot tea.

Usually few people leave the table first, and in most cases, the guests who finish first sit on the table to drink tea and talk, and wait for the guests who eat slowly to finish eating.

It's about mutual respect.

Of course, there are people who leave early, but they usually say hello.

After a round of banquets, the helpers cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, wiped the table and swept the floor.

Mr. Zhike went out to the small dam and the courtyard house and shouted everywhere:

"Sitting!"

"If you haven't eaten yet, sit down and eat!"

"Are there any guests who haven't eaten?"

“……”

Mr. Zhike, who is in charge, not only shouts inside and outside the house, but also checks those guests who do not take the initiative to eat.

For example, playing cards and not wanting to go.

I fell asleep even when I slept.

Mr. Branch will check them one by one and try not to leave a single guest behind.

After two rounds of seats, Jiang Haitian shouted the third round.

He noticed that Jiang Xiaobai's friends, that is, Wang Dekun and more than a dozen other people, had not been to sit at the table, so he walked over.

"Distinguished guests, please sit down and drink a glass of thin wine and eat a lot of tea and light rice."

Jiang Haitian said politely.

Wang Dekun waved his hand and said, "You don't care about us, let's wait for Jiang Xiaobai to come back and eat together." ”

Jiang Haitian knew that Jiang Xiaobai had gone to the city to pick up his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and if it went well, it would take an hour to go back and forth, but the pick-up would have to wait until someone arrived, so he didn't know how long he would have to wait, so he said: "It's been a long time, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, just go eat first." ”

Wang Dekun said: "We all came after breakfast, it's okay, it's okay, the manager just calls the other guests to eat." ”

Jiang Haitian saw that they insisted, so he had no choice but to give up.

Alas...... These distinguished guests are all friends of Jiang Xiaobai, and they are usually afraid that they will not be allowed to come to the countryside for dinner, and they can only wait for Jiang Xiaobai to come back to accompany them.

"Then you wait for Xiaobai, eat some melon seeds, drink some tea, do you have something to ask for help." Jiang Haitian said politely.

personally filled cigarettes for Wang Dekun and others, and then left.

Jiang Xiaobai did not enter the city alone.

He took his wife and daughter with him.

"Baba, where are Ga Gong and Ga Ga waiting for us?"

Approaching the city, Jiang Shan looked very excited, grabbed Jiang Xiaobai's back chair, and asked.

"At the door of the city hall!" Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

The reason why we chose to meet there is because Lin Dawei must be the most familiar with the Qingzhou municipal government.

Not long after, Jiang Xiaobai's car arrived at Qingyun Road, and he saw Lin Dawei and Liu Yiting standing at the gate of the city government from a distance.

But, they are not two people.

It's five people!
