Chapter 50 Tit for tat
As the most prestigious people in the courtyard, Xu Fugui and other elders naturally chatted with the guests at the table.
Xu Fugui also felt strange that the old lady in the backyard did not come out to make trouble.
However, looking at Yi Zhonghai who was busy not far away, he also laughed secretly.
In Xu Fugui's opinion, Yi Zhonghai is a smart man. He must have thought of this matter and probably gave him a heads-up long ago.
The reason why the deaf old lady came out to make trouble was not because Xu Fugui couldn't bear to see the younger generation doing well.
But this matter is indeed of great benefit to the deaf old lady.
Just like when Jia Dongxu bowed to heaven and earth just now, he bowed twice to Yi Zhonghai and his wife. Don't think that it was just a simple bow, that was equivalent to acknowledging the status of Yi Zhonghai and his wife as their elders in front of the neighbors.
If Jia Dongxu ignores Yi Zhonghai and his wife in the future, the neighbors will be furious.
At this time, if the deaf old lady also came to the central courtyard and sat down at the Jia family's house, it would in fact prove that the five people from these three families had become three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.
The retirement care issue that has been bothering this deaf old couple is now insured.
The key point is that the deaf old lady has come. If she pretends to be deaf and dumb, no matter how angry Yi Zhonghai is, he will not turn against her on the spot.
But the deaf old lady didn't come, which made Xu Fugui a little disappointed.
The deaf old lady's cowardice also made Xu Fugui look down on her previous pretense.
I'm still afraid of ruthless people.
The Qin family members had planned their time well, and arrived at the alley just when the guests in the courtyard felt hungry.
The chef has urged several times, asking when the meal will start.
As a result, some customary practices could no longer be followed, for example, the bride's family would place the dowry in the yard and then have the guests praise it.
This set seems to be commonly used by wealthy families, and "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" is roughly the same thing.
If it is a really wealthy family, there will be a performer who will sing praises of the dowry from the bride's family like a loud shout.
The artistic element in this area is quite high, so what these people do is not something that ordinary people can do.
At least you have to know what materials and craftsmanship those things are made of before you can praise their advantages.
Of course, the Qin family didn’t have those good things, but Yi Zhonghai wanted everyone to praise his sewing machine.
As a result, because they were in a hurry to start the banquet, they just showed up briefly and were then carried into the Jia family by the young men who were helping in the courtyard.
Qin Laonian was still quite calm when he was on the road.
But when they got to the courtyard, they saw the solemn and imposing manner of the gates. The guests were all dressed neatly. Not a single patched one was found, which made Qin Laonian and other old men involuntarily timid.
All the ideas that were originally discussed on the road, that is, to manipulate this side a little bit at the banquet to support Qin Huairu, were gone.
Qin Laonian found Jia Dongxu and asked him where the people who bullied the Jia family were. Jia Dongxu pointed to the He family's house, which was the tallest in the entire yard.
Qin Laonian rubbed his belly, touched his pipe, and ran to borrow matches from someone, as if he had never said that.
~ Damn, it’s obvious that they are the richest family in the yard. Their houses are more luxurious than those of the landlords in their commune. How dare he mess with them?
If He Yuzhu was in the yard and Qin Laonian saw the real person and found out that He Yuzhu was just a young boy, it would be different.
Qin Laonian wanted to use his age to teach He Yuzhu a lesson.
Of course, this is also Qin Laonian’s own idea.
The Jia family held a banquet, and everyone ate and drank and was polite to each other.
It was not known whether Yi Zhonghai did it intentionally or unintentionally, but four people came from the Qin family, and Yi Zhonghai also pulled three people over to form a table.
As expected, the ones who were pulled were Yan Bugui, Xu Fugui and Liu Haizhong.
Yi Zhonghai introduced the neighbors to the Qin family one by one, "This is Mr. Yan from the school. He is quite knowledgeable. Many children of wealthy families in the street are his students and neighbors in the front yard.
This one is a projectionist, the master who projects movies, a guest of honor for leaders at all levels, and a backyard neighbor. This one is a master chef at a steel mill, with a monthly salary of hundreds of thousands. ..."
Whenever Yi Zhonghai said something, the Qin family members would shrink their necks, because these were the people they usually looked up to!
Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with the performance of the Qin family. This time, he took advantage of the situation and directly suppressed the Qin family.
This means that the Qin family will not dare to encourage Qin Huairu to cause trouble in the Jia family in the future, which is naturally a good thing for him to control Jia Dongxu.
But Yi Zhonghai didn't expect one thing, which was Yan Bugui's eating habits.
People like Xu Fugui and Liu Haizhong both come from wealthy families and have experienced the etiquette of eating and drinking.
In fact, Yan Bugui was also like this, but what could he say? He just had a little daughter, and the pressure of supporting the family was heavy, and Yan Bugui's salary was really not high at that time.
In order to have this meal at the Jia family, Yan Bugui didn't even eat much at dinner yesterday, so his eating manners were a bit poor.
This must be the fault of Yi Zhonghai and his wife. For example, Yan Bugui was hired by the Jia family to keep accounts, which means he was responsible for recording the gifts from others.
In a matter like this, there are usually two people involved.
As the saying goes, one person works for private interests, two people work for public interests. In this regard, Yi Zhonghai arranged for Liu Haizhong to collect the money and Yan Bugui to keep the accounts.
There is no problem here.
But when a bookkeeper takes up his post, he must be provided with good food and drink. As the saying goes, an emperor has no hungry soldiers, so he must always fill his stomach first.
But Jia Dongxu hasn't eaten anything since this morning, let alone others.
Yi Zhonghai forgot to make any preparations when arranging this matter.
Seeing that the Jia family had not prepared anything, Liu Haizhong ran home directly to have a meal.
But Yan Bugui has been hungry since last night.
Now seeing these delicious dishes on the table, how can I resist?
He immediately raised his glass and started to wolf it down.
The way he ate was almost like a starving ghost.
This action immediately brought the Qin family's awe of the people sitting with them to the bottom.
~It turns out that city people have never seen good things?
~So this is how city teachers eat?
No matter what the Qin family thought, Yi Zhonghai was quite embarrassed.
He had been building up momentum for a long time, but it was all destroyed by Yan Bugui.
At this time, the countryside is not much worse than the city.
Of course, the residents of the courtyard houses can enjoy a middle-class living standard even in the old city.
However, since the land was divided in Qinjia Village in the past two years, there have been no restrictions on other livestock and animals, and it is no longer the case that people could not eat meat all year round.
Qin Laonian looked at his son, but then he straightened his back, raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Master Dongxu, the two children will live in the same courtyard with you from now on, please help them.
If the children are ignorant, you should scold them.
If they don't listen to you, please ask someone to bring a message to me and I will come and deal with them.
Dear neighbors, Dongxu is also your junior, so please help him out.
I am here to offer a toast to you all."
