1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Why are you still dawdling on it? Quickly move the wine and watermelon down." Su Jiangang opened the door and walked in.

He came up to call for someone.

Glancing at the red envelopes on the table and the money in Wang Guizhi's hand, he was taken aback, "Are there so many red envelopes? Mom, you're very good. It's a loss for other people's children to go to college. This is the red envelope that Lu Hao gave Xiaojin just now, it is so much, there is still more money after getting rid of the wine, plus the red envelopes from other relatives and friends."

He exaggeratedly clicked his tongue twice, "Xiao Jin will go to college a few more times, won't she make a fortune?"

"Bah, bah, what do you mean by taking more college entrance examinations? Fortunately, Xiaojin's admission letter came, otherwise I would have to beat you." Wang Guizhi pissed several times in a row to let go of his bad luck.

But Su Jiangang's words still made her smile happily.

The banquet was held according to the standard of 50 yuan per table. It was already planned, and the gift money received was not enough, so it must be posted in it, but who would have thought that not only would it not be posted, but it would be able to earn so much.

The main thing is Lu Hao, this second son-in-law is so powerful, the sum of money given by several of his friends is 900 yuan, and he himself also took 1000 yuan.

"It seems that Lu Hao has really made a fortune." Su Jiangang said, "Just now when we were chatting downstairs, his friends talked very unusually. One of them was as beautiful as my sister. That woman didn't speak, but stood next to my sister, accompanying her Talking to my sister and Nini, there is also a couple and that surnamed Huang, and they have already chatted with other relatives in the family."

'As pretty as my sister', this woman is Chen Linjiao.

A couple with the surname Huang, talking about Xu Yuanpeng, Liu Yan, and Huang Minghua.

These three are indeed talking nonsense when they see people, and talking nonsense when they see ghosts.

"There is another man surnamed Zhang who hits off very well with those young people." Su Jiangang observed carefully, "there is another man who is very simple and honest, and he looks like an honest man. He just sat there drinking tea and drank four or five cups in a row. I kept waiting for him to go to the toilet, but he didn't go to the toilet and drank two more glasses."

Of these two people, one is Zhang Zhigang and the other is Shi Xiong.

"There's the last one, who seems to be in good order. A few relatives and neighbors secretly told me that this person must be in an office and working in an agency. I also look like him." Su Jiangang brought Lu Hao here. Observed a circle.

Then, he looked at Su Jin again, "Xiao Jin, how much did Lu Hao pay?"

He only knows a lot of money, the exact amount is not clear.

"1000." Su Jin said.

"There are so many, I also want to go to university." Su Jiangang looked at Su Jin enviously, "He is really kind to you. You scolded and beat him like that before, and you scratched his face a lot. Now that you are admitted to university, you have received a gift of 1000."

Su Jin also remembered this, and felt a little embarrassed, "Who made him mess up like that before, at most I'll brag to him later, it's an apology."

"It's not just him, your second sister is also involved." Wang Guizhi said.

"I gave birth to a daughter who is so big, you don't know what kind of temper you have?" Su Jiangang sneered, "I was beaten and treated like that by Lu Hao before, and I didn't get divorced, and I didn't even say anything bad about Lu Hao. Now Lu Hao is a different person. Like, why don't you listen to him for everything? Sui Li must have consulted Lu Hao for his opinion."

"1000 yuan is worth Dad's salary for one or two years. Who would accept such a big gift? It's mainly Lu Hao's idea. Mom, you should respect Lu Hao later."

Su Jiangang picked up a watermelon in his left hand and tucked it in his arms, and took a few bottles of wine with his right hand.

Go downstairs.

"Can't you just take one at a time? This watermelon costs 2 cents a catty, which is not cheap." Wang Guizhi reminded, "It's so expensive to buy so much, even if you buy so many at the wholesale price."

Su Jiangang had already gone downstairs with the watermelon in his arms and the wine.

The drinks and watermelons were loaded into the trunk of the car. Lu Hao drove Zhang Yongqiang and Su Jiangang to the cafeteria of the beverage factory, dragging the watermelons and drinks.

Just the three of them.

Su Min didn't go, and chatted with Chen Linjiao and the others in the courtyard of the community.

It was still early, so Lu Hao went over early to help with the arrangement.

When we got to the cafeteria, we had to prepare again. The drinks and chopsticks were placed on the table, and a pack of cigarettes was placed on each table.

Wine is the edge of white clouds, and smoke is Double Happiness.

The names are quite in line with the mood of the banquet.

The chefs in the cafeteria were busy setting the tables, and Lu Hao, Zhang Yongqiang, and Su Jiangang helped cut the watermelon and put it on the plate.

When it was past ten o'clock, Wang Guizhi, Su Min, and Su Jin brought their relatives and friends over. Some neighbors who lived relatively close and knew the roads didn't need to be brought along, so they arrived by themselves.

To attend a banquet, unless the journey is far away, it is not good to come too early or late.

Lin Jiacai also came over.

"Old Lin." Lu Hao greeted him with a smile.

"Did you book Baiyunbian at Lao Hu's? He mentioned it to me." Lin Jiacai held a red envelope in his hand and handed it to Lu Hao.

This means: You go to the city supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, I have received this kindness.

Going to the supply and marketing cooperative to order tobacco and alcohol, and other things, is also a disguised support for Lin Jiacai.

He took this love.

"I have something to talk to you about later, you go up and sit down first." Lu Hao accepted the red envelope and led Lin Jiacai to the main table.

"Okay, don't worry about me, you are busy with your work." Lin Jiacai nodded.

The banquet culture in Jiangcheng is not so complicated, but it also has some particularities.

The elders, those with status and money, generally sit at the main table.

Lu Hao and Su Xingmin met, decided who should be invited to the main table, and went to invite people separately.

Wang Guosheng, Lin Jiacai, including Li Guangcai, were all invited to the main table.

Huang Minghua, Xu Yuanpeng, Shi Xiong, Zhang Zhigang, the table is slightly lower.

Chen Linjiao and Liu Yan were assigned to Su Min's house, and they were both female relatives.

Su Yumei was also with another table of women.

Su Jin accompanied her classmates, Duan Fang, Xie Sha, some teachers, her class teacher and the principal were invited to the main table.

Furthermore, Zhang Yongqiang and Su Jiangang also sat at a table each, serving as the main family, replacing Su Xingmin and Wang Guizhi to entertain relatives and friends who came to drink.

At each table, try to ensure that there is someone related to the host's family to help entertain relatives and friends.

If there are not enough people, let the more acquainted relatives and friends replace them. For example, in the beverage factory, besides Wang Guosheng, there are also many managers, but Su Xingmin can't separate himself, and Su Jiangang is not qualified to entertain guests at the main table. Liu Changping sat on it and helped entertain them.

This is respect for guests.

There are many people, but well organized.

When the arrangement was almost done, they were all seated, and Lu Hao was dragged to the main table by Wang Guizhi.

It was postponed several times, but it was not pushed away.

He doesn't want to sit at the main table. The main table must drink and drink a lot. He just wants to drink some soda and eat a la carte at his wife's table.

"You can't leave, you have to sit here." Wang Guizhi held him tightly and pressed him down.
