Return To 1977 Chapter 288: Big leak
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
It was all thanks to Yang Weifan. With these high-end things, the happy event of the Chang family became more and more dignified. Neither the two newcomers nor the two old people expected such a good thing.
Faced with this situation, Deputy Director Chang could not help but be aroused by the pride that had disappeared for many years. The old man slapped his thigh and simply decided to make an unprecedented extravagance, and he would not hesitate to sell the pot and sell the iron to make a big show.
This is not only to be worthy of the two children, but also to prove that "the serfs can sing when they stand up", and let everyone see that their Chang family is not afraid of falling. Even if they fall, they can still get up and still be able to do their best. Lived very happily.
In this regard, Hong Yanwu, who had long wanted to have some fun, was of course the first to raise his hands in agreement. He took the medicine according to the prescription and gave the advice as he had done for the "general". He said that the Chang family was on the third floor and it would be inconvenient to ask a chef to set up a greenhouse downstairs to make running water mats. It would be better to just find a restaurant outside.
As long as you determine the number of people in advance, decide on the dishes, and pay the money, you don’t have to worry about anything. You can leave with a mouthful of food and save a lot of things.
Deputy Director Chang already had great trust in Hong Yanwu and allowed him to do whatever he said, so he got the guest list out as soon as possible and let him do whatever he wanted.
This list is quite large. Not only relatives and friends of the Chang and Gu families are invited, but also people like Su Shenzhen and Yang Weifan who help the Chang family. We also want to invite the old leaders and colleagues of Chang Xianzhang and his wife. Of course, He Jiefu must be one of the hosts and guests this time.
This brings a lot of people. A quick calculation shows that there are probably more than 100 people, enough for more than a dozen tables. This was definitely a big event back then.
Hong Yanwu thought about it and realized, come on, "Old Zhengxing" would be a good fit. He didn't bother Yang Weifan anymore. He went to the front door and booked twelve tables with the hotel manager through "Aunt Bao", and the matter was settled.
Friendly price, based on the standard of 20 yuan, ten people per table. Each table has a large platter, six cold dishes, ten hot dishes, a basin of soup, and ten bottles of soda as drinks. You can bring your own drinks for the rest.
This is equivalent to taking over the restaurant. At noon on the day of the May Day wedding banquet, except for the three private rooms upstairs for serving leaders, the entire first floor of the restaurant was no longer open to the public.
The Chang family were all satisfied with the result, so in the last week, Deputy Director Chang and his wife went around handing out invitations. The bride and groom took the time to get another haircut before the holiday, and the whole family was waiting. Good times are coming.
On the evening of April 30, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan successfully completed the final preparations.
They first helped the Chang family put up big red characters "囍" with a yellow background on the door of their building and their home. Then after the restaurant closed in the evening, we went to "Old Zhengxing" to decorate it properly.
Don’t tell me, this one is really cool.
All the characters "囍" were cut out with the help of Hong Yanru and Su Xiu, two paper-cutting masters. They are even and solid horizontally and vertically, and the yellow and red are shining brightly. The pattern of magpies making plum blossoms in the frame alone will make everyone who sees it disapprove. The last two sentences.
His cigarettes, wedding candies, Wuliangye and bottled beer are also quite honorable. When these things are placed on the table, they are so happy that people who don't know really think that the children of some ministers or military commanders are getting married.
In addition, Hong Yanwu also distributed wedding candies and cigarettes to the restaurant staff in advance, and secretly gave the two master chefs Touzao and Erzao a wedding envelope worth ten yuan each. Take good care of me.
Everyone received unexpected benefits and naturally agreed, so no one was unhappy. At this point, everything is in order, just waiting for the May Day wedding banquet to start, and the Chang family will make a big appearance.
But no one really expected that a huge mistake would happen the next day, putting the Chang family into a dilemma. A happy event almost turned into a sad event, leaving a shadow on the hearts of all those attending the wedding.
What?
Early the next morning, Yang Weifan drove Chang Xianzhang and his sister Chang Xinhua to pick up the bride from Gu's house in a three-door, multi-seater 212 jeep.
When they drove Gu Lingye and her "bridal aunt" to "Old Zhengxing", Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan set off two firecrackers at the door. When everyone got off the car, they found that the situation was very bad.
There was actually no one here in the restaurant, and there were only a few guests attending the wedding.
It was already eleven o'clock at that time, and there were less than thirty relatives in and outside the house except Chang and Gu. Chang Xianzhang and his wife did not meet many of their leaders and colleagues at all.
Except for He Jiefu, who was sitting at the head of the table, those who had given generous gifts to Chang Xianzhang and Hong Yanwu were all patronizing. There were only a dozen people in total. In this way, even if everyone can sit down, there will only be four tables, and 70% of the seats will be empty.
This situation attracted the attention of the "bridal aunt". The old lady kept arguing with Deputy Director Chang and his wife, saying that this would not work, and that all the seats would be empty by the time the banquet started. It's so ugly. Why are you, the Chang family, so popular? Isn’t this embarrassing? It’s so unlucky.
Chang Xianzhang’s parents blushed at the scolding, but they were both unreasonable and helpless.
To be honest, they had actually split up and made phone calls long ago when they saw something was wrong. But when they came back, they were both trembling with anger. It turned out that without exception, everyone they could contact had their own reasons to evade the appointment, and all of them failed to make appointments.
To put it bluntly, there is only one real reason for this. Chang Xianzhang's parents are still "old rightists" who have not taken off their hats. These people obviously look down on the Chang family, and may be afraid of changing political risks, and are afraid of getting involved.
The world is so cold! Times have changed! There is nothing to say!
Thanks to Gu Lingye for being sensible, she completely regarded herself as a Chang family member. From the perspective of the Chang family, I had to persuade the "bridal aunt" for a while before closing the mouth of this sharp-tongued old lady.
However, this "aunt" was really angry when she saw that Gu Lingye "doesn't know the heart of a good person", and said, "It's not my old lady's fault, you are my niece, and I'm doing this for your own good. Besides, it's twelve noon. If you decide to do it later, it will be a second marriage. You can make up your own mind..." He just sat there and drank tea, paying no attention to anyone.
Everyone in the Chang family rubbed their hands and sighed. They felt guilty and did not dare to provoke him, so they could only complain secretly.
Not only the Chang and Gu families were anxious, but the chef was also anxious. When Touzao and Erzao heard about the previous situation, they did not dare to take action and asked "Aunt Bao" to come forward to discuss ideas with Hong Yanwu.
To be honest, Hong Yanwu was almost furious at this time. In his mind, he scolded those people who should have come but did not come, eight hundred and sixty times.
I said in my heart that you guys are so stupid, and you are still **** educating people. You have lived so long that you don’t understand human affairs. Why did you agree to accept the Chang family's invitation in the first place? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to be vindictive, stir things up, and hold back the Chang family's jokes?
However, scolding comes with scolding. At critical moments, you can't just watch. You have to come up with an idea.
So Hong Yanwu asked "Aunt Bao" to say hello quietly to the kitchen, saying that things would definitely be done today, and after taking out the money, he went to ask Chang Xianzhang's parents for instructions.
His meaning is also simple. Since none of the **** are coming, there's no need to wait for them. Isn't it just for the fun of showing up? If that doesn't work, he can find one at short notice. He has to fill the table with people no matter what. However, it must be impossible to open the banquet before noon.
Chang Xianzhang’s parents were already in despair. In particular, Chang Xianzhang's mother was both sad and frightened. It didn't look like a wedding, but more like a funeral. So when they heard that Hong Yanwu's solution was not a solution, they could only nod in agreement.
To put it bluntly, besides this, no one has a better way.
The matter was so urgent that Hong Yanwu stopped delaying and discussed it directly with Yang Weifan before they split up. In the current situation, they could only rely on the two of them to save people.
But to be honest, neither of them had any confidence in trying to gather eight tables of people at once, so they could only do their best.
Because there is a very particular thing in the capital, "Three days to invite, two days to call, and at that time called Tila'er" This is really a very rude thing. And after all, this is the May Day, and most people across the country spend it with their families. Who wants to join in the fun?
Besides, most of the people Yang Weifan knew were in the north, so whether they could arrive in time was also a problem.
As for Hong Yanwu, the people he knows the most are those in the "player circle". Of course, you need as many gangsters as you can find, but this is his teacher's wedding, and the distinguished guests of the Chang family are all educators. The quality of personnel must be considered.
Recruiting those "war criminals", "Buddhas" and "circle" would be even more destructive.
