Chapter 21 Enrollment Banquet
What Sujia Village hosted for Su Xiaoxiao this time was a school entrance banquet. The normal school entrance banquet is also called a teacher appreciation banquet. This custom has existed since ancient times.
According to the level of the school where Su Xiaoxiao was specially recruited, in ancient times, Su Xiaoxiao was a well-deserved number one scholar in literature.
However, Sujia Village is located in a remote place, and teachers from Luochuan City could not come here, so the old village head invited Su Xiaoxiao's primary and junior high school teachers, and the scene was very grand.
Rural people hold banquets, and they talk about cards.
Sujia Village is also a well-known wealthy village in ten miles and eight towns. Regardless of whether it is showing off or not, anyway, the old village chief has sent invitations to the surrounding villages. There are many people since then. Before noon, there are many people. The guests all gathered in Sujia Village.
"Xiaofan, is the banquet in your village so lively?" Zheng Dagang wiped the sweat from his brow, and he has been busy for almost a whole morning.
Su Xiaoxiao’s teachers basically taught Su Xiaofan, and when they saw Su Xiaofan, they had to chat for a while, feeling sorry for him for dropping out of school.
Plus Su Xiaofan is also Su Xiaoxiao's older brother, so naturally he has to come out to greet the guests, he is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, even Zheng Dagang was arrested as a young man, and he followed Su Xiaofan to deliver cigarettes and water.
On the contrary, Su Xiaoxiao, the female No. 1 scholar, is very comfortable today. She sat in the main hall with a plate of watermelon and accompanied several teachers.
"Well, people from all over the world are relatives, and they will come whenever they say hello."
Su Xiaofan looked at the people who were still pouring into the village, and couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face. He originally thought it would be good if two or three hundred people came today, and the one or two hundred people included people from Sujia Village .
But what Su Xiaofan didn't expect was that the old village chief obviously used the fact that the younger sister was admitted to Yenching University as a window for Sujia Village's external publicity. All the customers from Sujia Village came over.
As far as the current situation is concerned, there are already four to five hundred people who have come to the village, most of them are from places with families, and there are still people entering the village in a steady stream.
Seeing that there were too many people coming, before noon, the old village chief expressed his gratitude to the guests on behalf of Sujia Village, and announced that Su Xiaoxiao's first-year tuition fees would be paid by the village.
After a simple speech, the ten thousand earth reds that had been placed outside the yard began to crackle, and a group of children ran and danced around the firecrackers. The atmosphere was almost the same as that of the New Year.
Rural banquets, in addition to the cards, are real. The old village head arranged several courtyards to hold banquets at the same time. Twenty tables can be set up at a time, and each table can hold ten people.
Those who go to the table first eat first, and leave after eating. After the table is cleared, the second batch of guests will come to the table. Basically, the group will change in more than half an hour. Don’t look at only 20 tables at a time, it’s enough at noon Let thousands of people eat at the table.
This is the running water mat in the countryside, and its reception capacity is far from that of restaurants in the city.
As Su Xiaoxiao's parent, Su Xiaofan can't sit down to eat for the time being, he has to greet him at the place where the gift money is collected at the entrance of the village, but Zheng Dagang catches up with the first table and eats his fill first, and then returns to the table. The village entrance helps Su Xiaofan.
From time to time, he looked at the Han Wang Ding at the entrance of the village. Su Xiaofan was really envious. Su Xiaofan didn't care if it was a high-level magic weapon or not, but the word "absorbable" made Su Xiaofan stare.
Not knowing the consequences of absorbing it, Su Xiaofan finally held back, he didn't dare to experiment with the treasures of the village of Sujia Village, in case something went wrong, the ancestors of Sujia Village couldn't get around him.
…
"A hundred yuan gift." Suddenly, a voice rang in Su Xiaofan's ear. Hearing the words of one hundred yuan, Su Xiaofan, who was still staring at Hanwangding, turned his head.
Rural banquets, especially this kind of flowing water banquet, are mostly given a gift of ten or twenty yuan, and you can bring a large family to eat. Those who pay fifty yuan are all exquisite people. As for the gift of one hundred yuan Yes, it must have a lot to do with the main family.
"Huh? Is that you?"
Su Xiaofan, whose voice was a bit familiar, turned around and saw Wu Chuanbao standing in front of the table. Although Wu Chuanbao was wearing a hat, Su Xiaofan recognized it at a glance. Young people I've seen before.
"Hey, did you find trouble here?"
Zheng Dagang, who was next to Su Xiaofan, also recognized Wu Chuanbao, stood up immediately, and said angrily: "What's the matter, I didn't dare to go to the market to find fault, but came to the village? Do you understand the rules?"
Su Xiaofan’s electric shock that day had an inseparable relationship with Wu Chuanbao, but Su Xiaofan did not tell Zheng Dagang about it. Zheng Dagang only thought that the other party came to Su Xiaofan to return the goods. If he knew about it, maybe Zheng Dagang would do it now.
"You...you are not dead? Are you a human or a ghost?"
Looking at Su Xiaofan who was sitting behind the table, Wu Chuanbao felt a coldness hit his forehead even though it was noon on a hot day.
Being shocked by high-voltage electric shock, and then a thunderbolt hit him, although he didn't dare to look closely at Su Xiaofan's condition at the time, Wu Chuanbao couldn't imagine that Su Xiaofan could survive in such a situation?
Hearing what Wu Chuanbao said, Zheng Dagang was unhappy, and stepped forward and grabbed Wu Chuanbao by the collar.
"Brother Gang, don't do it..."
Su Xiaofan's complexion is also a little gloomy, but it's only about 8,000 yuan, and the other party is still haunted. If it's not for the school entrance banquet for his sister today, Su Xiaofan wants to beat him.
"Brother Gang, greet the guests for me, you two, take a step to talk." Su Xiaofan got up and pulled Wu Chuanbao past, and walked to a tree at the entrance of the village.
"You... are you really human?"
After touching Su Xiaofan's warm skin, Wu Chuanbao heaved a sigh of relief. Those who work in their line of work have no doubts about ghosts and gods.
But for some reason, Wu Chuanbao still felt a little chilly in his heart. Since the past few days, he has been feeling uncomfortable. Maybe he was frightened when he saw Su Xiaofan just now, but now Wu Chuanbao only feels a chill in his heart.
"Nonsense, am I not a human or a ghost?"
Su Xiaofan let go of Wu Chuanbao, looked at Wu Chuanpeng who was standing with him, and said with a gloomy expression: "The matter of my electric shock that you chased me last time, I haven't asked you yet, and you still dare to find Sujia Village, then I'll refund you the 8,000 yuan, and I'll give you another 2,000 yuan, and send you to the hospital for a few days."
Su Xiaofan was used to being wild in the village since he was a child, and even an old man at home couldn't control him. When he was in school, he often got into fights.
It was a bit unreasonable for Wu Chuanbao to let Wu Chuanbao go before, but after the electric shock incident, Su Xiaofan was justified, and almost killed himself, so beating them is not too much.
"Cough...cough cough, I...I didn't come to ask you for money."
Wu Chuanbao coughed twice, and explained with a wry smile: "I never wanted to ask you for a refund from the beginning, I just wanted to ask you about the origin of that bronze ware, where is the real one?"
Wu Chuanbao also felt a bit unlucky, he really didn't come to look for Su Xiaofan, because in his opinion, Su Xiaofan had already died.
It has been a week since Wu Chuanbao went to the countryside this time, and the purpose was still for the "Hoopoe" bronze ware, because Xiangjiang added another 200,000 yuan. As long as the authentic bronze ware can be obtained, Xiangjiang can Out to one million to buy.
For local masters like Wu Chuanbao, the next tomb usually only earns tens of thousands of dollars, and if it can be more than a hundred thousand, it has to be divided among seven or eight people, so this one million business is really worth it Make them irresistible.
So during this period of time, Wu Chuanbao and the others scattered to the various villages at the foot of Mang Mountain, nominally to collect second-hand goods, but in fact they still wanted to find a genuine "Hoopoe", but they had been wandering around for more than ten days. Nothing was gained.
Wu Chuanbao naturally knows Sujia Village very well for what they do, and if they were in normal times, they would naturally hide far away.
But the genuine "Hoopoe" is likely to be in Sujia Village. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Sujia Village's banquet today, Wu Chuanbao wanted to sneak in to have a look. Money, you can go in and eat.
A gift of one hundred yuan was included, but what Wu Chuanbao didn't expect was that before he entered the village, he met what he thought was a "dead man". Rao Wu Chuanbao was a dead man, and he was scared just now Not light.
"Didn't I tell you, I haven't seen the real thing..."
Hearing that the other party came here because of the bronze ware, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but frowned, and just about to speak, he saw the old village chief come out of the village, "Leave me a call, I'll be busy with this matter." Let’s talk about it later.”
Although the bronze ware he sold did not violate the rules of the village, it would be unsightly to be approached by someone, and it was his younger sister’s school entrance feast, so Su Xiaofan wanted to dismiss Wu Chuanbao first.
"Oh, okay, then...then I'll wait for your call."
Wu Chuanbao was also a little guilty of Sujia Village. Hearing what Su Xiaofan said, he immediately agreed, and he didn't care about the one hundred gift money, so he dragged Wu Chuanpeng and left Sujia Village.
"Why is it a little different from seeing him before?"
Looking at the two brothers Wu Chuanbao who left, Su Xiaofan frowned slightly, the former Wu Chuanbao had a smell of earth, so Su Xiaofan guessed that he was in the business of fighting.
But seeing Wu Chuanbao this time, especially when he touched Wu Chuanbao with his hand just now, Su Xiaofan only felt a gloomy aura coming from him, but it disappeared in a flash, and Su Xiaofan didn't know if it was his own illusion.
"What's the matter? Xiaofan, those two people are a bit strange, what are they doing?"
The old village head looked at Su Xiaofan who was walking towards him, and asked a question.
"It's a bit like Tufuzi, I didn't let them into the village."
Su Xiaofan was telling the truth, he just doubted Wu Chuanbao's identity and didn't dare to be 100% sure.
