Zhang Lan didn't quite understand why Xie Ruidong set the time of the party so urgently, and it wasn't a particularly anxious thing, when the time came, wouldn't it be okay to pull a group to discuss the time together, what was it for three days later.

However, Xie Ruidong did not explain the reason for this, only said that he would take the high-speed train to Kyoto tonight, let Zhang Lan pick him up, and then talk about the party.

That night, Xie Ruidong arrived in Kyoto, and as soon as the two met after leaving the station, Zhang Lan took Xie Ruidong to the hotel that was set. On the way, Xie Ruidong and Zhang Lan explained that the reason why they were so close was that he had been free for a few days recently.

After being transferred to a new position, he probably won't be able to spare time anymore. So Xie Ruidong wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to hold a party as soon as possible.

Zhang Lan was a little speechless, she didn't have time to do it, why was she in such a hurry. Xie Ruidong smiled and explained the reason to Zhang Lan.

If nothing else, among the classmates invited this time, it just so happened that Xie Ruidong would be transferred to the other party's father-in-law after a while, and Xie Ruidong wanted to take this opportunity to deal with him in advance.

As for what Xie Ruidong said during the day, most of the classmates at the party are closest to Kyoto and the like, why are they all false, the real reason is that this classmate works in a unit here in Kyoto, and he is usually busy with work, and he can have a free day on the weekend in the past two days.

……

Three days later, Zhang Lan's farm on the outskirts of Beijing, although it was said that he was familiar with his face, but in order to cover up, Xie Ruidong invited many classmates this time. In addition, the place provided by Zhang Lan is a farm, and it is a weekend.

So there are a lot of classmates who came over, and many of them came with their families, just taking the opportunity to take their families out to play.

Xie Ruidong invited a special team to be responsible for the whole scene, although it was a self-service barbecue, but there were also staple foods, otherwise many topics would not be easy to carry out.

There are also things before and after meals, all kinds of small things, there must always be service staff to take care of.

A table was set up at the gate of the farm, and a large parasol was propped up. There were bottles of water and a sign-in book on it, and Mr. Xie sat and chatted.

The place was provided by Zhang Lan, but in the past two days, Zhang Lan came over at night and was still at the clinic during the day.

Xie Ruidong is in charge of everything on the farm, and in the morning, Qin Yongjun has something to go to her grandfather, and asks Zhang Lan to go over with him.

So Zhang Lan came a little late, and when Zhang Lan came over, a few old classmates sitting on the chairs at the door laughed and shouted: "This landlord can also be late, and he must be punished for drinking at noon." ”

"Yes, yes, hurry up and sign in, everyone is almost ready." One of the students pointed to the sign-in book on the table and said.

Zhang Lan responded with a smile, and while greeting several old classmates who had not seen him for many years, she signed her name on the sign-in book.

Then he swept a hundred dollars on the payment code on the table. This 100 yuan is part money, originally Xie Ruidong said that after pulling up the group, Zhang Lan provided a place, he provided wine and food, and other classmates only needed someone to come over.

Someone in the middle disagreed, saying that he would have to pay for it. The last thing to discuss is to put a collection code at the gate, and the person who comes to sign in can scan the code.

Then Xie Ruidong asked for a maximum of no more than 100 yuan, and when the time came, he returned ten times according to his name. And laughed at who will give more criticism by name when the time comes.

They are all middle-aged, not everyone's life is the same, and no one can say what will be difficult for anyone's family.

Xie Ruidong laughed in the group, but when the rules were set, Xie Ruidong and Zhang Lan said that there were several classmates who did not respond, and then they all said in the group that they would rush over.

After Zhang Lan arrived, a few more people came one after another, and when it was about eleven o'clock, Xie Ruidong looked at the sign-in book and said, "I see that the people who come here are almost the same, right?" Hasn't anyone yet arrived? If we're all here, let's go in, shall we? ”

"It's all here, how many names have been signed here, and how many people have said they want to come before?"

"Almost, it's time, it's time to come. That is to say, it will be a little later to drive over, and the road is far away last night. ”

"Then let's start first, I'll let the staff watch here, and just wait for the people to come and go in directly."

"Then let's go, let's have a buffet, it makes no difference if it's early or late. Those who came first had children, so don't let them go hungry. Zhang Lan said.

After toasting together, everyone gathered together, exchanged recent news, and chatted about their respective topics.

Zhang Lan and Yang Tao each carried a tray with some barbecue on it, and the two of them found a small table in the corner and sat together.

said it was a class reunion, but Zhang Lan didn't let Xie Ruidong make it into a big table.

At the beginning, Zhang Lan and Xie Ruidong's proposal was to build a large area, make more small tables, and then eat their own.

If you have a good time, you can build a few more tables, and if you want to be quiet, you can find a small table to eat by yourself.

It's like the food stalls on the side of the road, but the difference is that everyone knows each other.

Xie Ruidong was not very satisfied with Zhang Lan's proposal, and felt that it was a class reunion, so what had happened.

However, after pulling up the group and starting to discuss the process of the day, Xie Ruidong felt that what Zhang Lan said was quite right.

Although some of them haven't seen each other for several years, they don't even have much contact. But to expect that after there are more people, everyone will be in harmony, that is also nonsense.

In addition, some people only proposed to bring their daughters-in-law and children over after Zhang Lan and Xie Ruidong proposed free food and accommodation, and they even said that they were not available to come over.

With the passage of time, the changes in the living environment, who has experienced what he knows best over the years.

If you organize a class reunion rashly, and you don't really want to get together, don't make so many flowers.

It's very simple, after everyone is together, you can eat whatever you want, eat with whomever you want, and you can chat with whomever you want.

Almost fifty or sixty people, after bringing their families and children, seventy or eighty people have to eat and drink, provide tools and semi-finished products, and it is most convenient to do it themselves.

"Didn't Li Chaoyang come over to call you this time?" Yang Tao asked casually.

He said in WeChat that now he can't leave home, not long after the child was born, and his daughter-in-law's health is not good. There is also his father's cerebral infarction and diabetes, I showed it before, and he can take care of himself, but he usually needs to be taken care of. Although the elderly on both sides can help him take care of the children and the family on weekdays, in fact, he can't leave the house. Zhang Lan said with a sigh.

Yang Tao said helplessly: "I mentioned to him before, if it doesn't work, let him move to my house." When the time comes, I will arrange a job for him in the supermarket, and his parents, and watch the door, but he will not go. ”

"There are only children on both sides, and there are four old people, how can it be so easy to move and change places." Zhang Lan shook her head and said. (End of chapter)
