Chapter 109: There are eyes but no beads
"Good drip, good drip, thank you Expert Guo!"
Geng Lihong was overjoyed and said to Guo Yonghe: "Wait a minute, I'll go to the department store next to me to buy a red envelope and go in with a little gift money." β
"You don't need a red envelope, right? This is an engagement feast, not a wedding feast. β
Guo Yonghe waved his hand at Geng Lihong and said, "Besides, you're just going to join in the fun, what kind of gift money?" β
"How can that work? Whether you are engaged or married, it is a great event. β
Geng Lihong said: "Since I followed you to get happy, how can I go empty-handed?" What's more, in our Lunan County, we have always paid attention to courtesy, and we don't care about how much money we have, the key is a mind! β
Saying that, she ignored Guo Yonghe's objections, ran to the department store next to her, bought a red envelope, and stuffed 200 yuan in front of Guo Yonghe.
This girl is really willing to spend the money!
Guo Yonghe watched it from the side and secretly smacked his tongue.
You must know that in this era, everyone's salary is not high, even if it is to participate in a wedding, generally friends and colleagues are with a gift of 30 yuan and 50 yuan, and they are already close relatives and friends with a gift of 100 yuan.
But Geng Lihong went to her cousin's engagement banquet with herself, and she paid a gift of 200 yuan, which is really a book!
Considering that Geng Lihong and her cousin are not related to each other, they have never even met each other, and with such a heavy gift money, they must have come for themselves.
The so-called courtesy must be asked for by others, and I don't know what Geng Lihong wants to do with such a big book? Could it be that she has some acquaintance's machine and equipment that is broken, and she wants to ask herself to help fix it?
Guo Yonghe looked at the time at eleven forty, and knew that this was not the time to study carefully, and after attending his cousin's engagement banquet, it was not too late to slowly explore Geng Lihong.
So he didn't say anything more, and took Geng Lihong straight to the Cathay Pacific Hotel.
Although the Cathay Pacific Hotel is the most upscale hotel in Lunan County, it is at most a second- or third-rate hotel in Lubei City, and it cannot be compared with the Yunhai Hotel where Xue Hongxing and Geng Lihong invited Fan Yanjiao to dinner last time.
When he arrived at the Cathay Pacific Hotel, Guo Yonghe asked clearly that the engagement banquet of the waiter's cousin at the door was in the large box of the Peony Hall on the second floor, so he took Geng Lihong to the second floor and came to the outside of the box of the Peony Hall.
Through the translucent glass box door inlaid with peony flower carvings, Guo Yonghe heard the voice of his aunt Zhao Taohua: "Lao Zhou, it's almost twelve o'clock, everyone is here, let the hotel open!" β
"Peach Blossom, wait a little longer!"
Uncle Zhou Yasong's voice came from inside: "My sister called yesterday and said that Yonghe would come over to attend the wedding banquet today, and the time was almost up." β
"Zhou Yasong, are you full?"
Zhao Taohua's sharp roar sounded inside: "Who asked you to inform your sister about the engagement banquet?" The people here today are all people with heads and faces, and you let the poor ghost nephew come over to participate, aren't you afraid of embarrassing us? β
"Peach Blossom, don't be angry!"
Zhou Yasong sighed and explained: "Didn't I think that my sister asked my nephew to come over, so I could also bring a gift money?" We spend so much money on these banquets, we can receive one! β
"Zhou Yasong, you were kicked in the head by a donkey, right?"
Zhao Taohua sarcastically said: "Do you think your sister's family is still the same as before, and your brother-in-law can help people repair machines everywhere to make extra money?" After he injured his back, he lay on the bed and turned into a medicine jar, only in and out, and his life was almost unbearable!
"Have you forgotten what their neighbors said the last time I went to your sister's house with you? It is said that your sister's family not only often defaults on water and electricity bills, but also often can't even get the money for your brother-in-law's medicine, and it all depends on your sister and your poor nephew and daughter-in-law to pick up scraps and sell them for a little money to make up little by little.
"In this case, do you expect your poor nephew to come over with gift money to attend Haohao's engagement banquet? I'm afraid I don't want to eat a fart, right?
"If you don't believe me, I'll make a bet on you, your poor ghost nephew will definitely not pay a penny of gift money, so he wants to come over and eat and drink for nothing!"
Guo Yonghe almost blew up his lungs when he heard it outside, although he thought that he had thought badly enough of his uncle and aunt, but he didn't expect them to be so bad.
Even if he is really so poor that he can't afford the gift money, just because his uncle relied on the 5,000 yuan lent to him by his parents to contract the slaughterhouse in the town to make a fortune, and it is not a natural thing to come over and make a head at the engagement banquet by himself, and eat a meal for nothing?
Only then did Guo Yonghe figure out why he didn't remember that his uncle and aunt held an engagement banquet for his cousin Zhou Wenhao in his last life.
Presumably, her mother Zhou Yalan couldn't come up with the money because she was short of money, so she didn't let herself come over to participate, right?
Seeing Geng Lihong looking at himself in surprise, Guo Yonghe could only force the anger in his heart, shrugged his shoulders at her helplessly, and said: "Geng Lihong, I said I won't let you come, you have to come, now it's okay, see the big joke!" β
"Expert Guo, what kind of joke is this?"
Geng Lihong was afraid that Guo Yonghe would spread his anger on his head, so he hurriedly explained: "A hundred kinds of rice raise a hundred kinds of people." If they knew that you could earn 70,000 or 80,000 yuan just by repairing a printed circuit board in our factory, they might immediately pounce on your thighs and carry you in to eat. β
Guo Yonghe smiled "hehe", I have to say that although Geng Lihong is a little snobbish, compared with her uncle and aunt, she doesn't know how many times better.
"When you go in later, you must not take out the red envelope, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face with you!"
He said a word to Geng Lihong, then stretched out his hand and opened the glass door of the box with a "bang", and the movement was quite spectacular.
The decoration of the box looks luxurious but is actually tacky, there are six tables of banquets inside, and the cold dishes on the banquet have been placed, and it seems that except for Guo Yonghe, the other guests have arrived.
Guo Yonghe looked around, and saw his uncle Zhou Yasong and his aunt Zhao Taohua sitting at the table near the door, and the other people on this table Guo Yonghe basically knew each other, and they were all relatives of the eldest aunt Zhao Taohua's mother's family, no wonder she dared to talk to her uncle Zhou Yasong so unscrupulously.
"Uncle, aunt, I say hello to you!" Guo Yonghe didn't take out the red envelope that his mother gave him, but just hugged his fists together and arched his hands at Zhou Yasong and Zhao Taohua.
Zhao Taohua saw that Guo Yonghe not only came to the door empty-handed, but also brought an extra mouth to eat rice, her face became even more ugly, she glanced at Zhou Yasong fiercely, and then said to Guo Yonghe:
"Oh, Yonghe, your uncle and I thought that you were serving your father at home, and we didn't have time to come, so we only prepared six tables of banquets.
Zhou Yasong didn't expect to be really said by his wife, and his nephew Guo Yonghe really didn't bring a penny to the door empty-handed, so he coughed and said: "Yonghe, it's all your fault that you came too late, at this time, you can't add another table for the two of you." In this case, you two come out with me, and I'll talk to the hotel manager, and ask them to find you a small table for two in the lobby downstairs, and make you a little meal for yourself. β
As soon as he said this, his back was pinched by Zhao Taohua, obviously Zhao Taohua was extremely dissatisfied with his decision.
"Peach Blossom,"
He turned around, pulled Zhao Taohua aside, and whispered into her ear: "The person is coming, if we don't leave him for a meal, won't we tear our faces?" What should I do when my sister and my brother-in-law come to us and ask us for 5,000 dollars? Now that we have a large number of adults, we don't care that they didn't take the gift money, and they left Yonghe to eat at the hotel, my sister and my brother-in-law can't find it to ask us for the 5,000 yuan, right? β
Zhao Taohua listened to Zhou Yasong's words, and was shocked in her heart, and then she realized that she had almost made a big mistake and left an excuse for her husband's sister and brother-in-law to ask them for money.
"Hehe, Lao Zhou, you still have a lot of eyes and think thoughtfully!"
She said: "Just do as you say, just let them eat something in the hall and send them away, it's better than your sister and your brother-in-law asking us for money!" β
"Madame is wise!"
Zhou Yasong gave Zhao Taohua a thumbs up, then turned around and walked back to Guo Yonghe and Geng Lihong, ready to lead them out.
But at this moment, I saw Liu Huowang, the father of his son's fiancΓ©e and the secretary of Liuzhuang Village, get up from the wine table inside, ran over in a panic, and said to his nephew Guo Yonghe and the girl next to him with a flattering face: "Accountant Geng, when did you arrive?" I was talking inside just now, and I didn't see you coming, so I really should be beaten, I should be beaten! β
While speaking, Liu Huowang really slapped his face left and right twice.
After fanning, he complained to Zhou Yasong again: "In-laws, this is your fault!" On such an important day today, you dare to ambush me! invited such a distinguished guest as Accountant Geng, and he didn't even say a word to me! β
Zhou Yasong and Zhao Taohua were both stunned!
Neither of them is stupid, how can they not see that the affectionate attitude of in-law Liu Huowang towards this Geng accountant who came with his nephew is definitely not pretended?
You must know that your in-laws, Liu Huowang, are the tyrants of Liuzhuang Town. Although he said that he made some money by contracting the pig slaughtering point, he was nothing compared to Liu Huowang, and it could even be said that if Liu Huowang was unhappy, his pig slaughtering point might not be able to do it at any time.
But today, I actually have no eyes, and I want to let Liu Huowang go to the hall below to eat with Geng, who is also going to curry favor with him, in a low voice, this is a big trouble!
