Chapter 18: By the way, save me

"How can there not be enough fish?"

Chen Yongsheng asked Uncle Zhang.

"You have a lot of relatives and friends, and there are more people from the village, and 20 tables are over the budget, and one fish per table is 20 fish short."

"Arrange for someone to buy it!"

What can be done with money is really not a matter for Chen Yousheng and his family.

"Katsuko, it's not about money. I have already sent people to the village, and there are other fish, but there are no mandarin fish. Go to the county seat to buy, back and forth for 4 hours, now it's more than 9 o'clock, buy back and cook it again, when do people eat. Besides, can the 30 tables be opened? Or replace it with carp, which is ready and can be bought in 20 minutes. ”

Uncle Zhang was in a hurry.

Chen Yousheng suffered.

"No! You'll be scolded. ”

The same guests, different treatments, spread out has a great impact on their family. Chen Yousheng scratched his ears and cheeks, and he didn't know what to do.

I listened to the conversation between the two. Got it, 20 mandarin fish is certainly not a problem for me. I didn't say hello to Chen Yousheng in advance, I quietly found two empty buckets, carried them out, found a place to carry people, entered the space, and selected 20 ordinarily large mandarin fish to carry back.

"Shengzi, Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I have fish here."

When the two of them saw me quietly bringing two buckets of mandarin fish, they were stunned.

"Where did it come from?"

Uncle Zhang knew that there was nothing for sale in the township, and I quickly got the fish, and he couldn't believe it.

"Ahh Uncle, don't ask where it came from, hurry up and make fish, don't delay the banquet. ”

Uncle Zhang brought the fish into the kitchen. Chen Yousheng muttered, reached out and patted me on the shoulder, looking very close.

"I said Chen Lingyu, what are you tricking? It helped me a lot. ”

"Just think I'm a trickster, what should you do?"

Chen Yousheng handed me a cigarette and lit it for me personally, and I still pretended to take a puff.

"These 20 fish will cost five or six thousand, you wait, I'll get you money."

So he went to the back room.

I grabbed him.

"Katsuko, even if this fish is my favor, I can't take the money. If you give me money, I won't drink this wine, because you don't have enough friendship. ”

I actually have nothing to do with Chen Yousheng, just now when I was with the molecule, those classmates were laughing at me, and Chen Yousheng seemed to be more understanding and considerate of me, so I decided to give this fish to him for nothing.

"How's that going to work, five or six thousand dollars."

He still fetched me the money, and in front of the villagers, I didn't want to fight with him, so I whispered with a serious face:

"If I take the money, I will leave immediately, you don't treat me as a classmate, let alone a buddy, you treat me as a businessman. If you don't give me the money, I'll sit down and eat your wine, even if it's just cold and white, and I'll be happy." ”

Chen Yousheng is a person who has seen the world, and he definitely listened to my two words, and hugged me like a woman who hugged him, which made him so strong.

"Good brother, righteousness! From now on, if you have any difficulties, just open your mouth, and my brother will settle it for you. Didn't your sister-in-law say it yesterday, she wants to introduce her best friend to you, this matter is on my brother, whether it can be done or not is your business, it's my business whether to say it or not. ”

He also rose up for righteousness.

"Thank you, brother."

He stopped talking about money, so I went up to the second floor and sat down with my classmates.

Those classmates chatted very well, and in addition to boasting about themselves, they also praised each other. I just thought I was looking at the Western scenery, and they actually ignored me as if I didn't exist.

I comforted myself that I was here to attend Chen Yousheng's wedding, and it had nothing to do with them, otherwise I would have left the table a long time ago.

Finally, it was time for the table to begin. I have to say that the Chen family's banquet is quite high-grade, and I don't think Uncle Zhang alone can get it. I learned from my classmates that Chen Yousheng's father specially invited two cooks, but I didn't see them.

The wine table smokes Huazi, and drinks the table. This is the first of its kind in our village. A few classmates pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and I was a spectator sitting on the side. I didn't care about any of this, and waited until Chen Yousheng's family came to toast.

To the surprise of the students, after toasting together, Chen Yousheng had a drink with me alone. The students were puzzled. Chen Yousheng just smiled and glanced at me, and then went to another wine table.

My classmates focused on me and asked me what I had to do with him. I smiled faintly, "Just like you, classmates." The difference is that we both have the surname Chen, and we were the same family 500 years ago. ”

They don't believe it, but I won't go any further. They seemed to think that they had been slow to treat me before, and they all raised their glasses to drink with me. I tried it on the grounds that I couldn't drink enough, and they didn't care.

Ma Xiaoer seemed to have a pimple in his heart.

"Shengzi's banquet is well done, in our village, it is estimated that there is no second copy in ten miles and eight villages, and it is capped. I don't know if Chen Lingyu, can you meet this standard when you get married? ”

I have no intention of competing with such people.

"How can we compare to Shengzi's family, it can only be a few glasses of thin wine and some home-cooked food, and the poor people can't afford to be luxurious, and they can't slap their swollen faces and become fat."

Ma Xiaoer "cut" and muttered in a low voice, "After all, I can't get rid of the poor sour!" ”

But I heard it.

Liu Yongshan quietly stopped him next to him, and the classmates changed the topic one after another.

When I was full, I didn't wait for my classmates, I said "goodbye" and left the table.

Chen Yousheng's family saw off guests at the door, and when they parted, he deliberately stuffed a box of cigarettes into my hand.

"Call my brother if you have something."

I know it.

For Chen Yousheng, I also have no intention of making friends with him, and he has enough face, and he can behave well, as for who my classmates love.

It was past a little past home that I really didn't get a call from the bearded man all noon. I had planned to return to the county seat today, but now I feel dizzy and want to sleep for a while. Wouldn't it be more convenient to wait for tomorrow morning when the bearded man comes to pull the fish.

My parents bought two carts of cucumbers in the morning, pulled back a cart of bamboo chips, and were setting up a greenhouse behind the house, saying hello to them, and I went back to the house to sleep.

I didn't think I was so drunk, and when I woke up, it was already time for the lamp, and my mother called me for dinner.

After dinner, I discussed something with my father and asked him to call my uncle to buy the two rooms in their house and ask how much it was.

The father was a little hesitant, but at the urging of his mother, the call was finally called.

"20,000!"

The father hung his head.

"It's too expensive, it's so long!"

The mother was also surprised.

"I want an uncle's account."

I didn't make any comments. Real estate prices in the cities are rising, and rural homesteads are also rising, and at current prices, a two-room house costs about 20,000 yuan.

Uncle quickly sent the account number, and I transferred 20,000 yuan from mobile banking.

When my parents saw that I had done it so quickly, their shocked expressions were indescribable.

"Dad, how do you go through the formalities with your uncle?"

"Your uncle said that he has entrusted the director of the village committee, and everything will be represented by him, and I will find him tomorrow."

The matter of the homestead has been solved, and how to build a house is already in my planning.
