"What is this? Why does it look like this?" Gao Fushun saw something he had never seen before appearing on the table. He quickly flashed his chopsticks, picked it up and threw it into his mouth.

"You lonely old stick, the shell is inedible, and the few remaining teeth you have are not knocked out!" Li Jinjin saw Gao Fushun throw the clam directly into his mouth and make a crunching sound, he immediately

Talked to Gao Fushun.

Li Qianjin came to the Northeast from his hometown in Shandong when he was in his twenties when he broke into Guandong. He stayed in Jiangcheng for a few years. Like Li Zhongxin's grandparents, he had to travel from Jiangcheng to Fuxian because there were many children at home and there was not enough food to eat.

They came here to clear up wasteland for farming.

When he was a child at the beach, he could often eat seafood. However, he had not been back to his hometown in Fu County for decades and had already forgotten what seafood looked like. At this time, he suddenly saw that Lao Wang's family was holding a birthday banquet.

, there was actually seafood, it almost blinded him.

The Northeast is a plain area, very far away from the sea. During the Chinese New Year, it is quite difficult to buy frozen swordfish and some marine fish at high prices in Fu County. When I see seafood, Li Buding

Moving forward is also a bit confusing.

Li Qianjin knew very well that things like seafood could not be stored for long after leaving the sea. Logically speaking, if such things were transported to Fu County, they would probably be spoiled. Why did Lao Wang's family hold a birthday banquet?

Are all the seafood here?

But what! He was relieved when he thought that Lao Wang's family could hold a birthday banquet for the whole village. While tasting the clams, he told Gao Fushun some things that happened in his hometown in Shandong.

"The birthday banquet held by Lao Wang's family was really awesome. It was an eye-opener for me! Look at the food and wine. I have only had such a meal in my whole life."

"A table of these drinks and food will probably cost you two yuan. If you get married in the village, the five yuan a table will cost compared to this one, it's like heaven and earth."

"It's delicious, it's really delicious. When I grow up, I will make money and eat delicious food like this."

All of a sudden, the chatter gradually became more and more noisy. Whether it was the elderly or the younger children, they all felt that the food was so fragrant that they almost wanted to eat their tongues into their stomachs.

The wine is shochu that comes in jars from the small wine shops in Toulin Town. People who want to drink can take a big bowl to the jar to get some wine, but that’s it! When Li Zhongxin held a birthday banquet this time, it was stipulated that

Older people are not allowed to drink more than three taels per person.

Rural people work in the fields all year round and can drink some liquor. However, on such an occasion, Li Zhongxin didn't want to make the older people drink too much because of the birthday banquet. It would be fine if nothing happened.

What happened? The birthday banquet will change by then.

The elderly have liquor and beer, while the children drink fruity soda produced by the beverage factory in Fu County. This soda is unlimited. As long as the children want to drink, they can go directly to the door of Grandma Li Zhongxin’s house.

Go inside the other person's plastic soda box and get it.

On weekdays, most of the children in Xinglin Village have never even drank soda. Now that they had a delicious soda, everyone burped until their stomachs couldn't hold it. They would still want it if their stomachs couldn't hold it.

And drink some delicious soda.

As for cigarettes! Li Zhongxin didn’t put any good cigarettes on display. After all, the rural people here were used to smoking dry cigarettes. There were loose cigarettes on plates on every table. A box of filtered Chuncheng cost 80 cents.

Even so, the loose smoke on the table was swept away before even waiting for a while.

After a large group of people ate and drank for a while, first the village chief and village secretary came to Grandma Li Zhongxin to toast her birthday. They thanked Wang Bo for organizing such a grand event and benefiting the whole village. I hope Wang Bo will do the same in the future.

The business is getting bigger and bigger, and I will be able to return to Xinglin Village more often in the future. I hope Wang Bo can help the needy households in the village.

After the village chief and village secretary left the banquet table, village cadres and relatives and friends in the village who were familiar with Lao Wang's family came over to propose a toast, and the birthday banquet gradually reached a climax.

After an hour of eating, the old man and the children were full. They left the banquet and went to the threshing floor in the village to watch Errenzhuan. There were no other entertainment items for the rural elderly. Watching Errenzhuan was their biggest hobby.

Although Li Zhongxin's grandparents wanted to go over and watch Er Er Zhuan at this time, they were stopped by Li Zhongxin's mother, Wang Yaqing.

Two old people, one is the head of the family and the other is the birthday boy. After the first wave of blessings from the old people is completed, it does not mean the end of the birthday banquet. There are also a large group of middle-aged and young people, relatives and friends behind them.

It would be disrespectful to those people if you, the host, leave early without being served.

As the name suggests, the flowing water banquet is like flowing water. This group of people has finished eating and left the table, and the next group of people has started to come to the table to eat.

This arrangement is based on the arrangement of Wang Tianming, one of the village leaders. The elderly and children will eat the first batch. After all, the elderly and children have a shorter time to eat and drink. After eating, the middle-aged people will eat.

Come over here and have a meal.

As the organizer of the birthday banquet, the Wang family has already agreed before that the host family will not want the leftover dishes on the table. The old people attending the birthday banquet will pack these leftovers and take them home.

The elders must not fight over each other when arranging this matter. After all, Lao Wang's family is simply treating guests this time and does not ask for any gifts.

After the old man packed up the leftovers on the table, he told his children to take the leftovers home, and they walked in groups towards the threshing floor.

Over at the threshing floor, the county's Errenzhuan actors had already prepared everything. When they saw the old people coming, they banged the gongs and drums and started singing Errenzhuan.

The old man was watching the show here, and the second group of people came to the running table over there. This group was all middle-aged men from the village. Their appearance of eating was different from that of the old man who chewed slowly. They all roared loudly and punched loudly to persuade them to drink.

The flowing water mat and Errenzhuan continued until dark, and the villagers in the village went back home with unfulfilled interest.

Li Zhongxin was quite satisfied with the arrangement of the flowing water banquet this time. This was also the first flowing water banquet that Li Zhongxin participated in after his rebirth. He felt very good and was even more happy for the harmony among the people in the village.

After the birthday banquet, the leftover canned fish and canned luncheon meat, as well as the leftover ingredients from the birthday banquet, Li Zhongxin told Wang Bo and asked his uncle and uncle to give these good things to people who have a good relationship with his grandma's family.

Sending them over is also a way of saying thank you to these neighbors.

The news that Lao Wang's family held a running banquet and invited the two actors to perform in the village seemed to have wings and spread throughout Toulin Town. Even many villagers in Fu County heard about it.

While people lamented that Lao Wang's family had dignity, they began to frantically introduce partners to Wang Bo and the unmarried uncle and aunt from Li Zhongxin's grandma's family. The matchmaker almost broke the door of Li Zhongxin's grandma's house.

.

It's just that! These things are not what Li Zhongxin worries about anymore.
Chapter completed!
