Post-80s Rebirth Daily

Chapter 129 Banquet

The best restaurant in Anping County, Xiyanlou Hotel is decorated with lights and festoons today, making it extremely festive.

A long red banner was hung under the red lantern at the gate, and the words on it were so explosive that people passing by couldn't help but look up.There are even some uncles and aunts who have nothing to do, so they simply sit at the door with a small horse, pointing and waiting for the arrival of the rightful owner.

After all, no one in the county can be admitted to the university in the capital for many years. The banner that reads "Congratulations to XX for being admitted to Yanda University" is too stimulating to the nerves of the common people.

This is the highest school in our country, with so much aura, we have to see whose children give adults such a face, and it would be even better if they can ask what their children ate to grow up.

So when Xu Ningyu's motorcade came over, they saw this lively scene.

A few days after the results of the college entrance examination came out, the family planned to throw a big feast, and quickly arranged all the matters.Booking a hotel, choosing dishes, arranging the guest list and seating, writing invitations... Dozens of tables, each item is a big project, but Xu Ningyu didn't worry about it at all.

Xu Ningyu was still leisurely revising the second part of his new book on the computer he brought back.

The new book is a children's adventure, but the source of inspiration is very interesting. It turned out to be the military exercise in our country in March.

Due to the visit of the leader of the Bay Bay Province to the Lighthouse State last year, the cross-strait relations were tense. Many people shouted the slogan of "army reunification". Our country held two military exercises in succession.

This time in March, Dongfeng Express directly crossed the Wanwan Strait and sent it to a place [-] to [-] nautical miles away from Wanwan Island, which caused a shock at home and abroad.The people in Wanwan panicked, and the planes going abroad were full every day.

At that time, Xu Ningyu was still in the capital after taking the recommended test.The people in the capital especially love to talk about politics. People are talking about it in crowded places, and the TV news is also reporting it day after day.

Looking at the blue East China Sea, he suddenly had the idea of ​​writing an ocean adventure.Teenagers are naturally interested in adventure, especially the mysterious ocean, so it should be interesting to write.

As for the protagonist, in order to make readers feel more intimate, he continued the series of Rascals, continued to use Rascals as the protagonist, and finally named it "Rascals' Wonderful Journey: The Blue Island".

The main content is the story of Little Rascal followed his parents to go to Qiongzhou Island on a cruise ship, encountered wind and waves on the way, drifted on the ocean for adventure, and finally returned to land with the help of marine animals.

The stalk is not new, and Xu Ningyu focuses on various marine animals such as dolphins and whales.Coupled with Xiaonian's optimistic personality, the tone of the film is very positive and lively.

10,000+ words, including the time to check the information, took more than three months to write.As the second reader, Jin Long was fascinated by it.The opinion of the first reader, Li Lei, can be ignored. He always has nothing but flattery. He is very happy to hear it, but it is useless at all.Xu Ningyu disliked it very much.

When writing, Xu Ningyu thought that besides islands, virgin forests and glacial deserts can be adventures, so why not write a few songs after a while.

After writing the first draft of the second "Lively Forest", in July, Xu Ningyu went to the provincial capital to take the college entrance examination.There was no pressure, and the exam went very smoothly. He was the first to hand in the papers in almost every test, and he was taught by the parents outside.

"You child, the question is difficult and you can't give up on yourself. It's a question to write one more question. If you get it right, there will be no blanks." The parents said earnestly.

A good-looking child must have poor grades, otherwise why did he hand in the paper an hour early?Of course it's because I can't do it.

Xu Ningyu smiled and nodded, walking quickly through the crowd.

Li Lei, who was guarding the entrance of the examination room, was not as good-tempered as he was. He greeted Xu Ningyu with a dark face, and first handed Xu Ningyu a bottle of iced Coke, which was just taken out of the incubator with ice in it.

After taking Xu Ningyu's water glass and test bag, he asked loudly, seemingly casually: "Xiaoyu, are you tired from the exam? If there are many words in the history exam in the afternoon, write less. You are recommended to Yenching University. It doesn't have to be so hard to take the exam. .”

Yanda's words are accentuated to ensure that the people next to them can hear clearly, which is too deliberate.The corners of Xu Ningyu's mouth twitched.

As expected, the nearby parents were breathless, and their faces were full of disbelief.After a moment of silence, a buzz of discussion broke out in the crowd: "Really? What's going on with the recommendation? How can I go to college without the test results?"

In this era of underdeveloped information, the parents didn't know much about escorts, so they immediately surrounded them.Xu Ningyu quickly patted Li Lei: "Go back." This guy can attract hatred wherever he goes.In case he takes the test casually, it would be a shame to fail the test.

Li Lei was not afraid, as if he had won a battle, he protected Xu Ningyu and swaggered into the car.

At the end of July, the results of the college entrance examination came out, which was not too embarrassing, with a score of 630, ranking in the top ten in the province, barely exceeding Xu Ningyu's psychological expectations.

He was interviewed by a newspaper reporter in the provincial capital. He was not the champion, and the attention was not that high.When he returned to the county, not only the newspaper office, but also the city and county TV stations sent reporters over, and the city station even asked him to do an educational program related to the college entrance examination.

There is no remuneration for participating in the program, only the fare is reimbursed.Xu Ningyu thought that he could advertise the new book, but he readily accepted it.

When he came back from recording a program on the city station, he found that the hotel at home had been booked, and the division of labor was clear. Everyone had busy affairs, except for him, the protagonist.

"Why do you want to invite your former neighbors?" Xu Ningyu looked at the draft guest list, a little surprised.It has been several years, so there is no need to bother to invite others.

"In recent years, we have also gone to their family for happy events. This is a human relationship. If they don't watch TV and are in the mine, how do they know that you have been admitted to Yanda?" The family looks very reasonable, just want to show off Well.

Xu Ningyu's protest was invalid, and the banquet was quickly set.

On this day, the Xu family was dressed neatly, together with grandparents, grandparents, relatives and friends, sat in a row of black cars, and came to the best hotel in the county with style.

Li Lei waited for the car in front to stop, and then parked the black Santana firmly beside him. With one hand on the steering wheel, he pulled up the handbrake, and smiled brightly at Xu Ningyu in the passenger seat: "How stable I drive, You still don't believe me."

"Hehe, you passed the obstacle test twice, so stop bragging." Xu Ningyu replied disdainfully.

This guy got his driver's license in two weeks, and he's boasting to the sky. If he doesn't suppress him, he can fly to outer space.In this era, the driver's license test has strict regulations on the study time, and the A license must be more than six months. For this reason, Li Lei spent an extra 1000 yuan to apply for a study permit ahead of time, which is really costly.

Li Lei could only groan, his slightly dark face was full of grievances: "Isn't that the only mistake I made, so you can't let it go. I'll do it once after that, it's great."

In front of his uncle and sister, he didn't have the nerve to say more, and he didn't dare to be a rascal, so he quickly got out of the car and opened the door for the back seat.Xiaoyu doesn't need him to be courteous, lest Xiaoyu might have to teach him a few extra words if she becomes shy.

If no one else was around, he would definitely have to quarrel with Xiaoyu, taking the opportunity to touch her little hand, even hug her waist.No matter how much... no matter how much, he didn't dare to think about it.He just unconsciously wants to get closer to Xiaoyu, and he can't hold hands with a pure boy like him, he really doesn't have any obscene thoughts.

Regardless of Xiaoyu's young age, he's pretty good at what he does.Although he was a masculine man, speaking with a soft voice was a bit embarrassing, but no one saw it, and it was really beneficial to take advantage of it, so Li Lei let go.

Jin Long got out of the car after Xu Jianbing, shaking his head speechlessly, looked at his brother, and then at Li Lei's brother, as if looking at a naughty child in the class.

Jinlong is already in the second grade this year, and his grades are not bad. He is the math monitor in the class, and he often uses the name of the teacher to discipline the children.

It's a pity that he didn't dare to provoke his brother, so he could only sigh like an adult: "Brother, brother Li Lei, I'm going to play in the restaurant." He dragged his sister and ran to the front to watch the fun.

Xu Xinning also smiled softly, ignoring these two guys who occasionally caused headaches.With Li Lei in charge, the older Xiaoyu became, the more lively she became. She was always smiling, which reassured her.Except it's a little noisy.

As soon as Xu Ningyu got out of the car, she saw her sister's smile, she was a little embarrassed, and gave Li Lei a habitual look.It's all the fault of this guy, he will always become extra childish when staying with him, and his character design will collapse.

Li Lei's smile immediately turned cute, like a 130-jin lucky cat, with a harmless face full of humans and animals.

He turned his head and saw that Uncle Xu was about to open the trunk. How could he let his uncle carry those heavy objects? He immediately ran over to help and took out a few boxes of wine first, leaving only Xu Ningyu and Uncle Xu to hold the plates wrapped in red paper firecrackers.

Drinks in restaurants are expensive, so of course they have to bring their own for so many banquets, and if you have a large amount, you can get them directly from the wholesale department.The aunt and grandma brought Li Lei, who was joining in the fun, to negotiate the price. It was ten yuan cheaper for a box, and dozens of tables of liquor drinks saved hundreds of dollars.There are also firecrackers and so on, all of which are brought.

By the way, there is also the Moutai wine that Xu Ningyu is thinking about. When ordering the wine, he mentioned it, and the auntie also thinks it doesn't matter to save some, after all, our national wine.Discussed with Wei Dazhi again, they planned to arrange the company's salesman to make a special trip to try to buy directly from the manufacturer.

"I'll make another trip to pick up the shop assistants." Li Lei went back and forth a few times, helping to lift the things in the other cars into the box, and he told Xu Ningyu when his aunt arranged for his grandparents to take care of them. Sound, quickly turned around and went to pick up people.

There are too many people, and six cars are not enough.Not only was he busy going back, but besides his family, he also had to pick up Xu Ningyu's former teacher from No. [-] County Middle School, and several cars had to go back.They also chartered two buses and went to Xiqiao Mine to pick up teachers from the mine middle school, old colleagues and neighbors in the mine.

Mining Middle School was merged with Town Middle School two years ago, and Principal Wei has retired. Xu Ningyu is very grateful for his care. A few days ago when Li Lei was driving, he and his father came to deliver the post in person.There were also several of his teachers, and Principal Wei took the post to his home.

Hearing that Xu Ningyu was admitted to Yanda University, President Wei, the teacher and a group of acquaintances were happy, but not surprised at all, they all thought it was right.

In the family area, the most familiar Aunt Jiang hugged Xu Ningyu and praised for a long time, and a group of old neighbors were also very envious, and surrounded Xu Jianbing with various compliments.Xu Jianbing straightened his waist, his face flushed.

There is another one, to pick up Xu Ningyu's grandparents and relatives from his father's hometown in the village.Although Xu Ningyu didn't like them, he still had to invite them to this occasion.

When they posted the post, they had agreed in advance that no gift money would be accepted.Right now, the amount of gift money is small, not enough to spend at all, so I don't want it at all.The family didn't care about the little money, so they wanted to be lively, and said that they would go to the provincial capital to hold a teacher appreciation banquet later.

On the same day, the car will be picked up and dropped off. As long as there is no special urgent matter, everyone will naturally come to the county to join in the fun.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and the invited waist drum team started working.One person clapped cymbals, making the sound of metal clashing. Two rows of uncles and aunts wore festive red silk short-sleeves and bloomers. They beat the red waist drum hanging around their waists with drum sticks in neat movements. , play flower work.

A large group of people gathered around to watch the fun, and Xu Ningyu was also pulled to the door as a mascot, and was responsible for welcoming guests with a smile together with his father.Chen Tao also wanted to stay with the spectators, but was dragged back to the private room by his aunt.

After all, today is a good day for their old Xu's family, so they shouldn't go there to steal the limelight.

"Xiaoyu, it's amazing." The guests came one after another, Xu Ningyu's ears were filled with all kinds of auspicious words, her head was touched many times by the elders, and even her face was pinched a few times by the neighbor's aunt.

The aunts behind also wanted to follow suit, but fortunately, Li Lei hurried over to help him block it, so that he escaped from the clutches.

"Auntie and auntie, go in and sit down. There is a list on the table. Your table is full of acquaintances, and there are melon seeds and peanuts. You can serve them again after eating." Xu Ningyu smiled a little stiffly.

Li Lei supported him, feeling a little distressed: "Go in and rest for a while, you've been standing there for almost an hour."

Xu Ningyu leaned back and let out a long sigh: "It's okay, it will be fine in a while, and I will have an extra bowl of rice later." Fortunately, it is a treat at a restaurant, and it will be even more tiring if I go back to the mine to hold a running banquet as my grandfather said die.

With the arrival of the two buses, the restaurant was completely full, from the box to the hall were full of people.

"It's almost time, let's go to set off the cannon." The aunt looked at her watch, it was almost twelve o'clock, and everyone was almost here.The cold dishes have already been served first, and the hot dishes will be served as soon as the firecrackers go off.

Two large plates of firecrackers were dismantled into long strips and placed in the open space at the door, like a long red snake.Xu Ningyu pushed Li Lei to light the cannon, then took a step back and stood with his sister.As soon as Jin Long saw such a long cannon, he hid behind Xu Xinning, and Xu Ningyu despised him.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, Li Lei took a lit cigarette, ran over to light the fuse, and quickly ran back behind Xu Ningyu, smiling and reaching out to cover his ears.

There was a loud crackling sound, and the faint smell of fireworks drifted around with the breeze. Bright red fragments flew up in the open space, and scattered all over the ground in a prosperous manner.

The firecrackers rang for a few minutes, and a group of overly active children rushed over to pick up the unexploded cannons as soon as the sound stopped, and let out a burst of crisp laughter, and the mood of the people watching became better and better.

"The cannon I bought lasted a long time." Li Lei put his arms around Xu Ningyu's shoulders, smiling brightly.

Everything compares.Xu Ningyu looked at the blue sky in the distance, and was in a good mood, so she didn't hate him anymore.
