Chapter 181 Uninvited guests at the banquet

"Boil water~boil water~let's give it a try!"

Erlong Grain Station is crowded with people at this time.

However, compared with the huge grain station, Chen Li's Shengxue Wine still only occupies a small part of the grain station.

It’s not that there aren’t enough people coming, or that it’s not lively enough, it’s just that the grain station is too big.

The row of long eaves in front of Chen's house alone is enough to place twenty tables.

Not to mention, the grain depot and the entire courtyard made of cement would require at least several thousand tables to fill it up.

The banquet has already begun, and the relatives and friends of the Chen family who came to help are serving food.

"Boil the water~ Boil the water, give it a try!"

The reason why we shout "boiling water" is not really boiling water. The reason why we shout this is just to remind everyone to pay attention.

In fact, the plate served by Chen Li's uncle was braised beef from Qiaotou old Deng's family.

This was specially ordered by the Chen family before, mainly because it is not easy to sell, and the old Deng family usually makes very few.

Generally speaking, when a family holds a banquet or the like, they usually order in advance.

Chen Li's Shengxue Wine is of a lower grade than Li Yuan's Shengxue Wine, mainly because Li Yuan's father obtained a lot of expensive ingredients through connections.

Such as soft-shell turtle! Such as shark fin!

One of the more funny things is that 99% of the guests recognized the shark fins brought by Li Dazhi as vermicelli.

However, Li Dazhi did not deliberately explain or show off, because it was not necessary.

As for Chen Li's family's Shengxue wine, it was relatively normal. There was no shortage of chicken, duck, and fish, with pork as the main ingredient. A large table was filled with it.

Braised trotters, diced pork, steamed pork with vermicelli, sweet roasted pork, salted roasted pork, steamed whole chicken, salted duck, pickled fish, fried crispy pork, etc.

Although the ingredients are not as good as Li Yuan’s, they are definitely hard dishes that people don’t usually eat. This is also the standard for banquets these days!

At this moment, Chen Li was toasting with his old man Chen Guofu at the table.

To be honest, Chen Li never knew that he had so many "relatives"!

Yes~ Chen Li in his previous life never held a drinking class or a wedding. He did attend Chen Xue's wedding, but he didn't go to toast with him either?

He had no idea where these seven aunts and eight aunts, who he had never interacted with before, came from?

Chen Li is sure that at least in the six years since his rebirth, 80% of the relatives here have actually had no contact with the Chen family.

In this regard, we can only say that China’s human society is so magical!

Chen Li was toasting at the table, while on the other side, Ms. Wang, leading Chen Xue and Liu Qingqing who came to help, were greeting the guests waiting for the second round.

It's not that the grain station can't accommodate forty tables, even four hundred can be accommodated, but there are only so many people coming to help, and twenty tables in a round is basically the limit.

"This is the fourth cousin, a relative of Chen Li's second aunt."

Ms. Wang had just finished greeting a relative and turned around to introduce Chen Xue and Liu Qingqing.

"Oh~! Hello, fourth cousin!"

Chen Xue said hello dizzy. This was the first time she had seen so many relatives. She had never seen so many relatives before, even during the holidays.

As for Liu Qingqing, she just smiled. She is still embarrassed to call her cousin, even though she shouldn't be here.

Liu Qingqing is here to "help", but why would Wang Dongmei let her future daughter-in-law do work like serving dishes?

So Wang Dongmei took Liu Qingqing with her, and the result was somewhat embarrassing!

"Qingqing~!"

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Qingqing's savior appeared. Li Yuan and Zhao Xiaoqiu appeared in front of Liu Qingqing holding hands.

Some people!

Before the window paper was punctured, it looked serious.

But once the window paper is punctured, it's like firewood.

Yes~ That’s right, I’m talking about Li Yuan and Zhao Xiaoqiu.

These two guys didn't look like boyfriend and girlfriend before. Chen Li once thought that the two of them would have to wait until four years later like they did in the previous life.

However, the fact is that once the window paper between these two people was pierced, their progress completely exceeded Chen Li's expectations.

I confessed my love on the same day, became a couple on the same day, hugged on the same day, and had my first kiss on the same day.

If it were a few years later, this would not be surprising. Let alone having a first kiss on the same day, even if it was the first blood that day, it would not be surprising.

But in Erlong Town in 1998, this progress was somewhat illegal.

You want to know how long Chen Li and Liu Qingqing have been together? The progress of the two is still at the stage of hugging!

As a result, Li Yuan and Zhao Xiaoqiu had just gotten married, and they completed the "kissing" achievement that night, and Zhao Xiaoqiu even took the initiative.

Because of this, bastard Li Yuan came to the grain station yesterday to "show off" to Chen Li.

Chen Li, who was busy frying crispy pork at the time, took the big colander and drove the guy out of the grain station.

"Why did you two come here?"

Liu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted him.

"Ahem~ What, your parents are here too, behind you!"

Zhao Xiaoqiu blushed and said nothing, but Li Yuan quickly changed the conversation.

After all, you can't just say that the two of them are so bored at home that they almost forget the time, right?

Hey~ Young people who have just fallen in love will not feel bored or bored even if the two of them do nothing together.

"Ah~! Oh! You go and sit there for a while, the second round will start soon."

When Liu Qingqing heard that her parents were coming, she quickly greeted them and walked out of the grain station.

At this time, outside the grain station, Liu Jianjun and Jiang Rong were almost at the entrance of the grain station.

As they walked, Jiang Rong complained.

"I told you that Mr. Chen is hosting a school banquet today and asked you to come back early, but you just delayed coming back until now."

"Oh~! Isn't it a little late? I'm busy with work too!"

"Besides, it's just a drinking class. You can just come. Why do you have to drag me along?"

Liu Jianjun couldn't stand his wife's complaints, but he didn't dare to lose his temper, so he had to complain casually.

As Liu Qingqing's father, Liu Jianjun really didn't want to come today.

He really didn't like that boy Chen Li.

He admitted that Chen Li was indeed a pretty good boy, but for some reason, every time he saw Chen Li, he always felt a little uncomfortable with the way the boy looked at his daughter.

Okay~! Mayor Liu doesn’t know yet that his daughter has become Chen Li’s girlfriend.

"Busy at work, busy at work!"

"You know that you are busy with work every day, and a big task like building a road cannot be completed in a day or two."

"Chen Li took our daughter to Yanjing last time. You are late for dinner and drinking today. What do you think of Chen Li's parents?"

Jiang Rong's words actually had some other meaning, but Mayor Liu didn't know the meaning.

"Hey~ As I said last time, Qingqing wants to go out to play, just take her there."

"If you have to take advantage of others, our family doesn't have the money?"

"You also know that I am also a government official after all. I should do less of this kind of thing in the future to avoid negative consequences."

"Hey~ Mr. Liu? Are you blaming me for this?"

Now Jiang Rong quit, her eyebrows straightened up, she glared at Liu Jianjun and said:

"When your daughter begged you, you agreed first, right?"

"I was planning to take her to Jiuzhaigou, but you said it would be good for her to go to Yanjing first."

"Now you're going to rake it down."

"Mom~Dad! What are you talking about? Why are you here so late!"

"This round has begun, we just have to wait for the second round."

Just when Jiang Rong was about to attack, Liu Qingqing had already rushed to the front.

When Liu Qingqing arrived, Liu Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief at first. Although Mayor Liu Da was usually very impressive outside, his status at home was not that high.

"Dad has something to do, so the second round will be the second round."

"It's you, why haven't you seen anyone so early in the morning?"

"Girls, don't run around every day, and don't say you're waiting for us at home."

Liu Jianjun quickly used diversionary tactics to try to get his wife to focus on his own daughter.

Normally this trick is actually quite useful, but today Jiang Rong knew where Liu Qingqing had been this morning.

"Liu, I don't want to tell you right now. Let's settle the accounts after we go home and have a drink after dinner."

Jiang Rong glared at Liu Jianjun and dragged Liu Qingqing towards the grain station.

"Hey~! What a sin!"

Liu Jianjun sighed in his heart. In the early years, he loved his wife too much, but now, there is no way he can restore his family status.

It was also at this time that Chen Li's parents also received the news from Li Yuan and quickly walked to the door of the grain station to greet Liu Jianjun.

You are the leader of a town! You still need to pay attention to this.
