Chapter 470 Enrollment Banquet
There is going to be a school entrance banquet, and everyone who has a good relationship must be invited. Tian Shao thought about it, and invited Section Chief He, Li's family, Tang Yuanyuan, the class teacher in high school and others. As for the students in the study group, none were invited, because these students have basically gone to school, and inviting them is equivalent to asking their parents to give gifts.
Thinking of giving gifts, Tian Shao returned home and said to Li Guihua, "Mother, our family does not accept gifts for this school entrance banquet, but invites relatives and friends to have fun."
Li Guihua was unhappy: "How can I let them eat and drink for nothing?"
Tian Shao felt that those in the village whose families were not well-to-do would not be able to give much away. This little money is nothing to them, but to those in the same family, it may be three or four months' salt money.
Tian Dalin felt that what Tian Shao said made sense, and agreed with her proposal: "Our family is so good now, we should treat our relatives to have a good meal. Everyone will only praise us for being generous."
Although Li Guihua was not happy, they both agreed that they could only obey. Then, she went from door to door asking someone to help with the kitchen, and then specifically told them not to give gifts. This behavior was praised by everyone in the family.
On the day of the school entrance banquet, all the people Tian Shao invited came. It was a working day, but everyone still asked for leave in order to drink Tian Shao's wedding wine. The wedding wine for Peking University students, I may not be able to drink it in the future.
Tang Yuanyuan brought all her daughters over, and when she saw Tian Shao, she handed the child to her: "Hurry up, hug my daughter quickly, let her share your joy, and she will learn to read like you in the future."
Hearing this, Li Aihua, who was holding the child, was overjoyed, and said loudly, "I'm not as ambitious as you. My Xuanxuan will have half of Tian Shao in the future, and I'll be satisfied."
As soon as Mother Li heard this, she immediately said: "It is said that my nephew is like an uncle, our family Xuanxuan will definitely not be bad at studying in the future."
Li Aiguo was admitted to the University of Technology in Bingcheng, which gave Li's mother a lot of face. Now everyone in the factory does not envy her, saying that she can teach children, and all three children are promising.
Tian Shao smiled and called them into the room to chat.
Uncle Li is also here. After more than three months of nursing, the injuries on my body are almost healed, but my right hand is still hanging. Now he can basically take care of himself, but he can't do work now.
The dishes for the Enrollment Banquet were prepared by Tian Shao, braised pork with preserved vegetables, steamed pork with rice flour, stewed chicken nuggets with potatoes, steamed fish, braised pork in brown sauce, braised tofu in brown sauce, steamed eggs, stewed vermicelli, and seaweed soup with pork ribs.
After the table started, Uncle Li sat in the first seat, nodding his head as he watched the dishes being served one after another. It's still the niece who is arrogant, she doesn't accept gifts, and she buys six meat, two vegetables, and one soup. In the future, everyone will have to say something about her.
The taste of the food is very good. Uncle Li thinks that the only pity is that he can't drink alcohol. He always greets guests with boiled water instead. But such a big happy event, even drinking plain water is also happy.
After eating, the guests also went back one after another. Mother Li stuffed a red envelope into Tian Shao's hand, and said with a smile: "I heard from Zhao Kang that you will be leaving the day after tomorrow. Auntie here wishes you a good journey."
Tian Shao declined: "Auntie, I said I would not accept gifts, I am already very happy that you can come to drink. And you helped buy today's wine."
The two boxes of wine on today's wine table were bought from the winery where Li's mother works.
Mother Li stuffed the red envelope into her hand, and said with a smile, "You helped my patriotic family, and Lao Li and I don't know how to thank you. This red envelope, you must accept it today. Otherwise, Lao Li will not be able to come back. Tell me."
Immediately afterwards, when Li Aihua, Section Chief He and others left, they also stuffed red envelopes for Tian Shao. Everyone's rhetoric is the same, it's already very happy to be able to invite them to a wedding, but you can't eat and drink for free.
The banquet was over, and the eldest aunt and a few aunts in the family helped clean up, and then sent back the tables, chairs and pans. Soon, the originally crowded courtyard became quiet.
Liu Ya brought a bowl of green vegetable noodles to Tian Shao, but she noticed that Tian Shao hadn't eaten yet. Knowing that Tian Shao is particular about it, Liu Ya specially explained: "Don't worry, elder sister, I specially asked third sister to do this for you."
Tian Shao has been busy greeting the guests, and after the guests came to the table, she went to stare at the kitchen. There is no problem here in the kitchen, the guests have to leave after eating. So busy now, I just drank a glass of water.
The vegetable oil at the banquet was so oily that Tian Shao lost her appetite after seeing it, but this bowl of green vegetable noodles looked refreshing and gave her an appetite. I have to say that Liu Ya is really caring.
After eating the noodles, Tian Shao was too tired to go back to sleep. When she woke up, she immediately called Erya and the others to clean up.
Li Guihua and Tian Dalin complained: "Those tables and chairs, I wiped them just now and need to be washed. Isn't this a waste of soap?"
Tian Dalin knew Tian Shao Aijie, and said: "The tables and chairs are stained with oil, how can I wipe them clean. Oh, don't worry about this, anyway, the soap is bought by Da Ya."
Out of sight, out of sight, Li Guihua went to Li's house to visit his old lady.
Many people are powerful, six people spent more than two hours cleaning the main room and kitchen.
Tian Shao looked at the clean stove and felt much more comfortable.
After finishing cleaning, Tian Shao went to Li's house to talk about it, thinking about Zhao Kang's entrustment.
Sister-in-law Li heard that she would be paid 25 yuan a month plus three meals a month, so she agreed without even thinking about it. Such a good thing is hard to find with a lantern! And it is washing, cooking and taking care of the children without being tired.
Uncle Li and Aunt Li also thought it was a good thing, and Li Aihua and Zhao Kang knew who they were and could trust them. As a result, Li Dakui was unhappy.
Sister-in-law Li was in a hurry, and said, "Da Kui, I only need to work for one year to pay back the famine at home. Why don't you agree?"
To build a house and Uncle Li fell ill, the family borrowed more than 300 yuan. She can save 300 yuan a year by working, and the remaining dozens of yuan are almost enough to sell mountain goods. With so much money in her heart, Mrs. Li panicked.
Li Dakui didn't say the reason, but said in a muffled voice: "No reason, just disagree."
Auntie wanted to persuade her at first, but Uncle Li stopped him: "Since Dakui doesn't want it, let's forget it. After a while, we can go to the mountains to pick mountain products, and we can sell them for a lot of money."
Although washing and cooking are hard work, it is much easier and safer than going to the mountains to pick mountain products. But the son was unwilling, and Uncle Li felt that this matter could not be forced.
The eldest aunt said: "How can this be done by his temper? Picking mountain products is a short-term period, but it can take a year to take care of Director Li's children. After a year of work, the family's foreign debts can also be paid off. .”
Uncle Li said: "Listen to me, let the husband and wife handle this matter by themselves."
