Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and today is the full moon banquet of Sun Zhengan’s youngest son.

He had originally planned to hold a wedding banquet in his eldest brother's courtyard, but he never expected that he would be shocked when he finally counted the number of people.

Let’s talk about the relatives at home first. Since the number of people is relatively fixed, it is very easy to calculate, about four tables of people.

Let's take a look at the residents in the courtyard. According to convention, each household sends one person, so there are not many people in total, probably about two tables of people.

Next are the family’s friends in various units and some leaders, which are the key points.

For example, Sun Dajiang, Lin Wencui, Sun Zhengguo, and even Sun Zhengan himself, whenever they invited guests, they could bring a large group of people.

Even the leaders of the machinery factory where Yu Li works, such as Director Li, Deputy Director Liao, and the director of the Women's Federation, have made it clear that they will definitely come to show their support.

This does not even include our friends from the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Metallurgy, and the cadres from the street offices.

Of course, Sun Zhengguo has some face to play with, but it is also an indisputable fact that all his family members are cadres, have extensive connections, and know many people.

That's why I was shocked when I counted the number of people.

Finally, Sun Dajiang decided to hold the wedding banquet in the Siheyuan. At worst, he could use all three courtyards.

Early in the morning, Sun Zhengan and Sun Zhengnan ran back and forth several times before they brought back the necessary vegetables.

Looking at the full pile of things next to the stove, Sun Zhengnan was very curious.

"Brother Zheng'an, how many people are coming today? Why did you prepare so many dishes?"

Hearing this, Sun Zhengan shook his head. "To be honest, I don't know either. Let's see at noon! But my brother asked me to reserve two tables."

"There are so many, what if we can't finish them?"

"If you can't finish it, just eat it yourself! You've worked hard, so eat more then."

"Then I'll wait, hahaha!"

……

The two brothers chatted for a while and then hurried to borrow tables, chairs and benches. After all, they had to set up three courtyards, which was a lot of work.

You have to know that today is not the weekend, and everyone still has to go to work. The only people who can stay in the yard to help, besides a few elders in my family, is my cousin.

This is the person that the eldest brother left behind on purpose because he was afraid that he couldn't handle the situation.

So, if these two young people don’t want to do it, they can’t just rely on their elders to run around for them!

……

In front of the He family's gate in the Central Courtyard, a stove has been built. He Daqing, Sha Zhu, Master Yang from the steel rolling mill, and several helpers are all busy at this moment.

As today's chef, He Daqing took the lead and started giving orders.

"Zhu Zi, go and prepare the main ingredients."

"Master Yang, you are responsible for assisting. Blanch the ones that need to be blanched, and cut the ones that need to be cut for later use."

"You guys, hurry up and pick the vegetables, then wash them and keep them for later use."

"Everyone hurry up, we need at least ten tables today, time waits for no one."

"Got it, Master He."

All the masters responded in unison, and then went about their respective tasks.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

……

In the front yard, the Sun family, uncle Lin Wenjun, brother-in-law Li Maocai and others were also helping to place various tables, chairs and benches.

Except for the Sun family's own tables, chairs and benches, the rest were moved from Sun Zhengguo's courtyard.

Therefore, they all look particularly new, unlike those borrowed from the hospital, which come in all kinds of styles.

This arrangement was made because the people being entertained in the front yard today are all friends and leaders from various units.

When the grandfather saw that the front yard had been decorated, he remembered his grandson's instructions, and then he added.

"Wenjun, Maocai, you still have to work harder and set up a table in each of the two wings."

"Dad, I understand." The son-in-law Li Maocai didn't dare to ask why. He led Sun Xiaoying and walked towards Sun Dahe's house with a smile.

But Lin Wenjun was quite curious, so he asked, "Uncle Sun, why do you want to set up these two tables? What's the point?"

"Hey! I don't know so much either. I just heard Zhengguo mention that some leaders are very powerful. We can't let them eat in the courtyard like ordinary people!"

OK! Hearing the old man's explanation, Lin Wenjun couldn't help but smack his lips.

He couldn't help but think about it in his mind. It seems that without a cadre at the department level or above, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to enter this room.

My eldest nephew is really awesome!

……

the other side.

In the institute's office, Sun Zhengguo was looking through a new document, which had just been sent by Zhang Yucheng.

The content of the document is not new. It is a notice about the spring assessment, which will be held in half a month.

"Ah~! It's the assessment season again, and the workers don't have much time left."

When he thought about the suspension of the assessment next year, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but sigh!

But fate is cruel and destiny is unfortunate, and there are some things he cannot change.

All he could do now was to take advantage of the last two assessment seasons and ask his cousins ​​to work harder and strive for a better income.

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, interrupting Sun Zhengguo's wandering thoughts, and he said something casually.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open and Section Chief Cai walked in.

"Director, you are looking for me."

Sun Zhengguo nodded and motioned for Chief Cai to sit down.

"Chief Cai, this is the notice from the superior regarding the assessment. Please announce it on the radio later. Make sure the workers take it seriously. If you are confident, please join in! It will be a good thing for both the public and private sectors."

"Okay, Director. I will definitely take it seriously."

"Ok!"

Sun Zhengguo nodded and handed the document to Section Chief Cai.

After all, there is only so much he can do. Only when the assessment is truly stopped, will the workers understand his good intentions.

Time soon came to 11 o'clock, and Sun Zhengnan arrived at the office at the agreed time.

"Brother, I'm here to pick you up."

"Yes! I'll be right there."

Sun Zhengguo packed up his things simply, went downstairs, got in the car, and then picked up Zhou Weimin, his sister and Sun Dahe.

In fact, it's not time to get off work yet, and no one would say anything if they left early.

As for others, they can only go after get off work.

When talking about this dinner party, we have to mention the cadres from the research institute and the machinery factory.

Originally, the list of people invited by the institute only included Chen Wanchun, Chen Lianshan, Zheng Wenhua, Zhang Yucheng and others.

After all, when Sun Zhengan worked here, they were good friends.

There is no need to talk about Chen Wanchun, he is an old friend of Sun Dajiang and he will definitely be invited.

Who knew that after Lee Seung-ri and others found out, they said they would go to congratulate. They couldn't just stop them from going!

The same was true at the machinery factory. Originally, Yu Li only planned to invite two directors of the Women's Federation.

But when Director Li and others learned about it, they also expressed their desire to come and congratulate.

As a result, the list of people to be invited to dinner started to snowball and the number of people kept growing.
