Chapter 257 Banquet

At night, the lights in Li's mansion were brightly lit and people were crowded.

Because today is the first day of the New Year, Li Changxian asked someone to arrange a few banquets in the hall of Li's mansion.

Who knew that Zhang Kewen, He Yue and others came here, and after they came, many people came in one after another. For a moment, the hall was overcrowded.

Li Changxian was very helpless, and it was fine for Zhang Kewen. None of the others had a family or a family. During the Chinese New Year, they were not reunited with their relatives at home and had to come to him. They also said they wanted to try the food cooked by Old Man Ma.

Since they had already arrived, Li Changxian had to ask someone to re-arrange the banquet. Even Erya, who was three months pregnant, stood up to help hand over the plate and serve the bowls, making Li Zhu, who was standing beside her, worried for her as she looked at it.

"Grandma, you are still pregnant, don't go to work, okay? Sitting here safely. Today, there are so many helpers in the Li Mansion, how can you use it?"

Erya turned her head and glared at Li Zhu: "Just go to the young master's place, don't sway in front of me, okay, I will pay attention to myself!"

After saying that, Erya turned around and went to help. Li Zhu looked in the hall. Li Changxian and Zhang Kewen and others were chatting, and it seemed that they would not be able to use her for a while, so she continued to follow Erya, guarding against her to do some dangerous work.

Li Changxian sat directly above the hall, and the dining table with him were all old men, such as Old Man Bai, Old Man Mi, Zhang Kewen and others. Moreover, the food made by Old Man Ma seemed to have been announced in advance, and the taste and ingredients were prepared for these old men.

Fortunately, these old people didn't drink much, and they didn't even persuade them to drink. After two glasses of wine, everyone put down their glasses and started talking in private.

At the adjacent tables, Abuda and others were drinking and chatting, and Li Changxian felt a burst of heat when he saw it.

But Li Changxian just twisted his body and did not join in the fun at other tables. On the one hand, he did not drink alcohol, and on the other hand, Old Man Bai and others pulled him to talk about it, making him embarrassed to get out of here.

This time, Old Man Ma showed off his cooking skills and personally cooked several home-cooked dishes, which made Li Dahai and others applaud.

"Old man Ma's craftsmanship is good. It is said that Diao Wanhai has invited him to the Wanhai Hotel for guidance many times, but Old man Ma has not even gone.

With Old Man Ma’s cooking skills, if he opens a restaurant in Wanling County, it will be crowded.

Why did you guys live so miserably in Wanling County back then?”

He Yue also smiled bitterly when he heard this and sighed: "Before County Magistrate Li came, we were all poor and we had no money to open a restaurant.

Besides, when the restaurant was opened at that time, no one came to visit.”

Xu Le was also deeply touched by the side and said, "Yes, it was after Magistrate Li came to Wanling County that we survived again.

Otherwise, no one could tell whether we could last until now.”

When Li Dahai heard He Yue and Xu Le say this, he probably suffered a lot.

So Li Dahai stood up, picked up the wine glass and said to He Yue and Xu Le: "I didn't expect you to be so bitter back then. Drink this glass together and forget the past!"

"General Li, this is a very true saying, and there are still good days waiting for us!"

He Yue and Xu Le stood up, raised their glasses and clashed with Li Dahai, drank it all, and then sat down calmly.

Compared to Zhang Kewen's lonely family, He Yue was very satisfied with the life in Wanling County. His family had already moved to Wanling County, and his parents were very healthy, and several children were sent to the school.

Although He Yue did not win the position of county magistrate, he did not mind at all. In the Wanling County Government, in addition to Li Changxian and Zhang Kewen, his prestige increased day by day in the county government.

Now he has the final say in all the affairs of the county government. Li Changxian is simply a hand-off manager, while Zhang Kewen is in a retirement state and is just a staff officer in major matters and no longer interferes in any specific affairs of the county government.

What else is there to dissatisfie with him? It is better than a county magistrate than a county magistrate.

Moreover, He Yue also knows himself. If he really wants him to be the county magistrate, he will not be able to do it, and it is better to be like now.

After three rounds of wine, the food made by Old Man Ma was eaten completely by everyone.

"After drinking this glass, I must not drink it anymore. You all have filled me with wine. Why don't you go to tribute to Magistrate Li and Lord Zhang?

I really can’t drink it anymore. If I continue to drink it, I will be really unconscious.”

He Yue was toasted by everyone and was a little confused.

Why don’t you respect Li Changxian? Everyone knows that Li Changxian is drinking water at the table, who is willing to suffer?

Zhang Kewen is old, and Dr. Liu has already instructed him to drink as little as possible in the future.

So everyone pointed the finger at He Yue, the third person in the county government. Although He Yue had a good alcohol tolerance, he couldn't resist the number of people. He drank in a while and was dizzy.

Xu Le, who was beside him, couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and spoke.

"If you want to drink, there are many days in the future. Why bother to be a while? Let's let Lord He go for the time being today!"

Among the few people left in Wanling County, although Xu Le was not very conspicuous, he was not as capable as Zhang Kewen and He Yue, and he did not have the cooking skills of Old Man Ma.

But everyone knows that Xu Le is a good old man. He doesn't fight or fight, and he devotes himself to the school and teaches the children hard and hard.

So everyone respected Xu Le very much. Seeing that Xu Le spoke like this, they stopped urging him to drink.

Li Changxian was unwilling to be drunk in Li's mansion, so he quickly stood up and said, "Let's stop today's banquet. If you have something to do, go do it. If you have nothing to do, go home and spend more time with your family."

"yes!"

Seeing that Li Changxian had started to drive people, everyone was not inconvenient to stay in Li's mansion, and they bowed to Li Changxian one after another.

Suddenly, only Li Changxian, Zhang Kewen and He Yue were left in the hall.

"He Yue, are you still having a headache now? Why don't I ask Li Hu'er to take you back!"

When He Yue thought of Li Huer's height and strong body, he woke up most of the time and quickly refused: "No, I can go back by myself. If not, Xu Le will be with me."

Xu Le also smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely send Lord He to the mansion."

Li Changxian had no choice but to agree: "Okay, you two are careful on the way!"

Although he reminded this, there was no need to worry that someone would attack on the road. The public security in Wanling County was very good, especially in the old military camp, where many officers and soldiers were patrolling along the way.

Xu Le helped He Yue away, and Li Changxian turned around and looked at Zhang Kewen who had been depressed all night.

"Old Zhang, are you not in good health yet? Why don't you rest in Li's Mansion and wait a while before leaving?"

Zhang Kewen waved his hand and said, "It's not a physical matter, it's me who received a letter from my family!"
