Chapter 413: House Ruiner in the 1970s (44)
When the wedding banquet started, Xu Yin finally understood the meaning of her father's words, "Everyone is like this."
Hearing the shout of "serve the food", everyone who had gathered around to see the bride and groom rushed back to their seats.
As soon as the dishes were served, everyone started to fight with chopsticks - everyone put the dishes into their own bowls.
Those who move quickly can pick up a lot of chopsticks, and those who have more chopsticks can be put into the empty bowl they brought. It is equivalent to eating and saving a mouthful.
…”
Such a scene...it was really the first time she had seen it.
“Second sister! What are you doing so stupidly? Sit down and eat!”
Xu Lan quickly grabbed a meatball, put it into Xu Yin's bowl, urged her, and then jumped on the table again to grab the second wave.
The first dish, the soup, was snatched away by the whole table in less than a minute.
The soup base was picked up by Zou Caifen’s nephew and he drank it in two big gulps.
Just after this wave ended, the second hot dish - braised whole duck came.
Xu Lan saw the person serving the food coming from a distance, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and got ready.
“Second sister, I’ll pick up the vegetables later, and you can take the bowl as close to my chopsticks as possible. If it’s further away, it’s a waste of time.”
…”
Can she say no?
Cerebral pain.
Helping Xu Lan grab a few dishes, Xu Yin felt even more tired than farming.
She turned around and glanced at Xu Chengjin, who was sitting at the same table with her father.
Seeing that her father kept getting up and sitting down, Xu Chengjin actually helped her father pass the bowl and take the food, which made her... toothache.
By the way, when did her parents and little sister bring baskets and bowls? She was busy chatting with her eldest sister on the way without paying attention...
Just as the chaotic wedding banquet was over, Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she no longer had to be her little sister's food grabber.
Xu Yuanyuan took advantage of the gap where her newlywed husband was left talking by the uncles and uncles, and came to the two sisters Xu Yin.
He glanced at the basket Xu Lan held in his arms. There were several bowls of meat and vegetables in the basket, and she felt very unhappy:
On the one hand, she feels sorry for the meat she bought with her own money. In order to support the scene, her parents raised money to exchange tickets with employees to buy chicken, duck, pork and fish some time ago. These people have not eaten enough and have to take it home?
Second, their behavior makes them embarrassed in front of men. Guo Zhijun was not sure why he looked down on his poor relatives!
"Yin Yin, Lan Lan is ignorant. You are already a grown-up girl, why are you following her to grab food? What does it look like!" Xu Yuanyuan glared at Xu Yin displeasedly.
Xu Yin: “…”
I don’t want to steal the letter?
“You are also getting married next month. Think about it, these guys are fighting for food in front of your man, as if they have never eaten meat in their lives. Do you feel good?”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind.” Xu Chengjin walked over.
His foot injury has almost healed. He threw away his crutches when he went out today, and walked steadily and firmly.
When he came to Xu Yin, he picked up the sophora flowers that had fallen from her hair. He looked at her and smiled, then looked at Xu Yuanyuan: "It's not easy for everyone to have a meal of meat and vegetables these days. Let's eat it at a wedding banquet." A meal, happiness is the most important thing, isn’t it?”
Xu Yuanyuan: “…”
Left angrily.
…”
You are right about everything!
Xu Yin glanced at him angrily: "By the way, do you really not mind if we fight like this on our wedding day?"
Xu Chengjin thought about it carefully: "How about we not serve the food first? After the procedure is completed, we can have a good meal for everyone?"
…”
“Yin girl.”
After finishing the wedding banquet, the brigade secretary remembered that there was one happy thing that he had not said, and he waved cheerfully to Xu Yin through the crowd.
“Look at me! As soon as I arrived, I was dragged away by everyone to drink, and I almost forgot this important matter. Your speech that day was submitted to the newspaper! Well, I also brought the newspaper.”
"What are you reporting? Secretary, what are you talking about?" When the people around heard what the secretary said, they all gathered around curiously.
The secretary excitedly recounted Xu Yin’s performance on the day of the model worker commendation meeting, and finally said to Xu Yin:
“The leaders of the commune are very happy. They said that you have allowed the working people across the country to see the spirit of our Red Flag Commune in the newspaper, and they want to reward you. The commune will also give you the same amount of royalties that the newspaper will give you for adopting your speech.”
“Wow! Are there any royalties? Xu Laosan, your daughter has made money!”
“How much is the royalties? Is it enough to buy a pound of meat?”
The secretary smiled and said: "I didn't know it at first. Only people in the commune know that the manuscript fee is based on the number of words, one thousand words and one dollar. Yin Yatou's speech has a total of five thousand words, and the manuscript fee can be six RMB. Including the reward from the commune, Yin Yatou can receive twelve RMB."
When they heard it was twelve yuan, everyone was shocked. It was half a month’s salary of the workers!
After being surprised, they all cast envious looks at Xu Laosan: Lazy people are blessed with laziness!
Look at how lazy the third child is, but the daughter he gave birth to is capable and promising, and the son-in-law he hired is rich and good-looking. The third child’s family will be great in the future!
Xu Chengjin took the newspaper brought by the secretary and carefully read the speech published in the supplement. He couldn't help but think of the way she talked non-stop on the stage on the day of the commendation meeting, with smiles on her face.
Close the newspaper and say to Xu Yin: "I want to keep this newspaper and put it on the wall of my new home in the future. This is the first honor for our little family."
Xu Yin covered her face: "Please say goodbye!"
Xu Laosan, who was bragging to his relatives, heard about this and clapped his thigh with joy:
"Look! I just said that my daughter is going to be successful, but she really has nothing to do with her son! Look! It's all reported! There are also royalties! A total of twelve yuan! Oh my! My daughter is really promising! She was not the only one who gave a speech on the stage that day One, just ask who has such an honor as her? Hahahaha!"
All relatives and friends: “…”
Lemon is just too strong to resist.
Their son is really not as good as Xu Yin.
I can’t understand how a lazy guy like Xu Laosan could be so lucky!
Xu Yuanyuan was in the room at this time, listening to Zou Caifen talking about whether the gifts given by her relatives and the money given by relatives and friends were enough to host these banquets. She heard the secretary's loud voice coming from the yard, stamping his feet irritably:
“Look, mom! It’s obviously my wedding, but this girl steals the spotlight!”
Zou Caifen also felt that the daughter of the third family seemed to have changed.
"Where did she get the literary talent to write a speech? Did she publish it in newspapers to earn royalties? If it wasn't written by her partner, let her just follow what she memorized, right?"
Zou Caifen can think of it, but others can’t think of it?
At this point, someone is asking: "Lao San, was it your son-in-law who wrote the manuscript and asked your daughter to read it?"
Before Xu Laosan could speak, the secretary retorted: "That's not the case! At the time of the commendation meeting, Lao San's son-in-law didn't know where he was! And I didn't say in advance that I was going to give a speech on stage. It was all up to Xu Yin herself. You can’t fake it if you give it your best.”
After listening to the secretary’s words with open ears, Zou Caifen curled her lips and said, “You’re lucky if you step on dog shit!”
