Two days later, it was time for Liu Yadong's son to attend school and have a banquet.
As expected, there were not many people in the bay that day, except maybe a few sons and daughters of Ai Ruijia on the Liang side and some of their cousins, and only a few people in the bay on their side.
There are actually only three families in Wantou here, one is Grandpa Zeng’s family, one is Bingchong’s family, and the other is Old Man Xiang’s family.
However, each company has its own considerations. For example, Grandpa Zeng and others, the reason why they went is not because they have any friendship with each other. In fact, they have no friendship with each other.
Mainly because of his status. After all, he had been a mayor before, so he could barely be considered a respectable public figure.
Since someone has invited you, it's natural that it's hard to refuse. Even if you know that this is a "meat bun, beat a dog, you'll never come back" deal, you still have to go and give them face.
The reason why Bingchong's fathers went there was probably somewhat similar to the reason Grandpa Zeng and his family had. First of all, he was currently the captain of the production team, so he spent more time dealing with Arijia and his family from Liang.
Although Liu Yadong was taken out, he is still Ai Ruijia's son after all. He does it for no other reason than to facilitate his work in the production team in the future. He also wants to give their family face, so go!
If he was paying for the dozens of yuan for drinks, he was sure that Arijia's family and even everyone in the family would oppose him and not support him in the future, and it would be difficult for him to carry out his future work.
So just for this reason, even if it is their turn to have something to do in the future, and they invite the other party, but the other party doesn't come, their family will still go.
Furthermore, when people asked him to send invitations to people in Wan Tou, they gave him a pack of cigarettes as a gift. Even with this pack of cigarettes as a gift, he was embarrassed to betray their dignity.
After all, it is a happy event for someone's child to go to school, and they are also people who move around in society every day, and he is relatively familiar with their captain. Everyone often encounters them at meetings in the countryside. When the news spreads,
I don't have a very good reputation for myself, so even if I take this into consideration, I still want to congratulate him.
But going to the old men was a bit surprising to the people in Wan Tou. Even Aunt Liao said it was the sun rising in the west.
Xiang Jin said, "That's not surprising either."
Aunt Liao asked, "What? Is there anything else that doesn't make sense?"
Xiang Jin said, "It is said that Xiang Yan and Liu Yadong's son were classmates in junior high school.
This classmate invited me, so naturally I want to congratulate you."
After listening to this, Aunt Liao was silent for a while and then said, "Then that old lady Zhang and the others didn't drink the wine today with all kinds of flavors and a very bad taste? There will always be jealousy, envy, aggrievedness, and embarrassment, right?"
?
His son and his daughter were classmates before. They are about to go to college, but their daughter is still in the third grade of junior high school.
Considering your grandma’s face-saving personality, is it surprising that you feel so good?”
Xiang Jin shook his head, "I don't know, how do you know they still have hope in their hearts, that is, when Xiang Jiao is admitted to the secondary school next year, they will also be treated to a treat.
By then, maybe you can not only get back the gift money for today’s wine, but also earn some more from others?”
Aunt Liao thought, "Oh, is that really true? People from the Lao Xiang family have always loved taking advantage, so maybe they really have this intention!"
Xiang Jin said, "Then don't worry about our business."
Aunt Liao said, "That's right!"
They were the only three people from Wantou who went there, so they followed the crowd and Xiang Jin and Aunt Liao didn't go either.
But later in the afternoon, Grandma Mo came to deliver chili peppers to Xiang Jin and her family, as well as the pea jelly she had mixed earlier. Aunt Liao asked her casually, "Auntie, Uncle Mingyao went to the Ninth Brigade to eat."
Drinking?"
They drank here with one meal on the night of the first day and one on the morning of the next day, making a total of two meals.
Liu Yadong's banquet started the night before, so Aunt Liao naturally thought that Grandpa Zeng had gone to have a drink.
Grandma Mo shook her head, "Where? I didn't go! I'm staying at home."
Aunt Liao was surprised and said, "You didn't go? Didn't you say you were going?"
Grandma Mo said, "Yes, but it's just a gift for going there. No one has gone, so we gave the gift to Bingchong to take him there."
"Oh, is that so?" Aunt Liao took out the peppers and then handed the dumpling back to her.
Grandma Mo took it and said, "Yeah, we don't have any friendship. It's up to you whether you can go or not. As long as the courtesy comes, that's all.
You said it's still such a long way, and your uncle Mingyao has high blood pressure. What would happen if someone accidentally stumbled on something while walking at night?
Now everyone has enough to eat, so it’s up to you whether you want to eat or not?”
Aunt Liao nodded, "Yes, you're right, but we and Juyun didn't go. Our two families didn't have any friendship with them, and basically no one from Wantou went. You think we
What's the deal between the two families?
Those who know understand that we are here purely to congratulate others, but those who don’t know think that we are just pretending to be good. Isn’t this causing harm to other people?”
Grandma Mo nodded, "Yes, there is nothing we can do about it. The main reason is that your Uncle Mingyao's identity is there. You said he has only retired for more than two years. It would be bad if he doesn't go."
If someone invites you in another two years, we will decide whether to go or not. If it’s someone worth dating, we’ll go. If there’s someone we can’t date, we won’t go.”
Aunt Liao nodded, and after the two chatted for a while, Grandma Mo went back.
When Xiang Jin came back from watering the vegetables in the vegetable field, Aunt Liao had already prepared dinner.
She made mung bean porridge, fried a vegetarian dish, steamed some steamed buns and steamed buns, and mixed a piece of pea jelly that Grandma Mo brought over.
Xiang Jin went to the construction site to deliver meals to her grandfather and Hu Cai, and then called other people back for dinner.
Then, halfway through the walk, I heard someone in Bayhead saying that Liu Yadong and his family were going to show a movie tonight. It was arranged by their team. It was said that it was a Hong Kong martial arts movie that was quite popular recently, and many people wanted to see it.
However, Xiang Jin didn't have much interest in these. After all, she once lived in a modern metropolis where both economic and spiritual civilization were highly developed.
There are all kinds of high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and bustling lights.
TV movies and the like have already spread to every household, and they are commonplace.
And TVs are all high-definition, ultra-high-definition, large screens, thin displays, and ultra-thin displays.
And movies already have theaters with strong 3D and 4D stereoscopic effects and sensory tubes that make people feel like they are actually there.
Those movies and TV series products, whether it is the exquisite makeup of the characters or the exquisite furnishings, are very eye-catching and comfortable, and some of the special effects inside are also extremely sophisticated.
If you're interested, go to the cinema to watch it. If you don't want to move or if it's too much trouble, you can watch it at home.
There are different types of TV series and movies, such as ethics, urban love, suspense, historical themes, documentaries, etc., etc., there are many of them released in just one year.
Not to mention those from previous years, there are so many that I can’t even look at them.
Therefore, TV dramas and movies like this that require a lack of picture quality, a lack of good sound quality, and a lack of props feel really do not arouse her interest.
The only thing she is interested in now is how to make more money and save some money.
When Xiang Jin returned home, she saw Xiang Nan already carrying a bowl and starting to eat. Xiang Jin had never been used to such unruly behavior, so she frowned, "Why are you alone?
Is it ready to eat?”
Xiang Nan said, "Sister, I heard that the Ninth Brigade, Liu Yadong and his family are going to show a movie tonight. Do you want to go and watch it?"
"Don't go!"
The little girl put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked her, "Go, go, Xiang Yao and the others are going, and many people in Wan Tou are going."
"No!" Xiang Jin still refused.
Aunt Liao asked, "Why don't you go to the movies, Xiang Jin?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's pointless if you don't go."
Aunt Liao said, "You're a good kid, you're not addicted."
Xiang Jin asked, "Aunt Liao is going?"
Aunt Liao said, "Oh, I'm too lazy to go. One is that I haven't even gone to their place to have a drink, and the other is that it's such a long road. It's so dark that it's troublesome to run around. Don't do it."
At that time, I didn’t see much of the movie, and it would be bad if I sprained my foot.
Look at your man over there, it was still broad daylight. He fell down and broke his leg. You see, he couldn’t move much for a hundred days because of his broken muscles and bones, and he still had to spend money in pain. It’s really not worth it.
