Chapter 133 celebration at home
As soon as her son left, Li Xiaoqin drank half a glass of water from the table, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Today, all her troubles were her own, and she could not blame anyone else.
Before Zheng Wentao came back, Zheng Mingfeng was found back. She might still be a little afraid of her father, maybe because she was afraid that he would cut off her financial resources, so she went back to her room as soon as she came back.
After Li Xiaoqin told the nanny to prepare dinner, she took advantage of this gap to enter the room and tried to persuade her, "Mingfeng, continue to learn dancing. The dance class teachers say that you are very good at learning and often praise you. It is not difficult to find a job in this field in the future."
"Mom, I don't want to go. I don't want to deal with yuan Lili anymore." It wasn't that Zheng Mingfeng didn't like dancing, but she didn't want to see the girl who had a problem with her anymore.
"Mingfeng, stop messing around. Think about it for yourself. Now that the middle school exam is over, you didn't get into high school or technical secondary school. If you don't even study dancing, your father will definitely let you work in the factory when he comes back later. You went to work for a few days last year. Do you still remember how it felt? And your classmate, fu min, she's working in a small factory right now. She works in the morning and in the dark every day. The money she earns is not enough for her to spend. She must have told you a lot about the situation in the factory. Why don't you go to work in the factory every day like this?" Li Xiaoqin had wanted to talk to her for a long time, but he never saw her, and he had to work most of the time, so he couldn't control her.
"I'm not going to work in the factory."
Zheng mingfeng retorted with a pout. Her father had a clothing factory, a zipper factory, and a leather factory. She had played in the factory before and knew what the workers were doing. She also knew that she had no ability to help her father manage.
"Since you don't want to work in the factory, then continue to learn dancing. Mom knows you like dancing, and you dance well, so you have a bright future in this area. Besides, your grandparents haven't scolded you since you took dance lessons seriously. Although they haven't praised you, they're already very good. If you get good grades in dancing, they will praise you too, and the other aunts and aunts won't talk about you in a weird way in the future." Li Xiaoqin knew that his daughter had a good face, so he had to persuade her from these aspects.
Zheng Minglong followed her into the house and helped her mother persuade her, "Sister, listen to your mother and continue to learn dancing. When you went to the competition last new year, the teachers praised you for your great progress, especially the national dance. Yuan Lili was obviously jealous that you danced well and deliberately pushed you out. If you really didn't want to learn dancing, wouldn't it make her happy? If you don't go, she'll be the best dancer, and she'll get the teacher's attention."
Li Xiaoqin gave his son a look of appreciation, which was a good way of goading him, "Mingfeng, your brother is right. Yuan Lili can't dance as well as you. She must be jealous of you to pick on you on purpose. Don't fall into her trap. Besides, you just don't get along well with her. Don't you have liu yuan, he yajie and the others have a good time with you? If you suddenly don't want to go, aren't they all going to play with yuan Lili?"
Zheng Mingfeng was moved by their words and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
Both mother and son breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that she was willing to continue learning dance. Li Xiaoqin saw that she was listening and continued, "Mingfeng, learn dance seriously this summer vacation. Your teacher said before that there was a competition in october. You should try to get a good result back. When that time comes, mom will reward you with a pair of dance shoes."
"Okay." As soon as she heard the dancing shoes, she immediately answered with joy.
After Zheng Wentao came back, the mother and son were very tacit in concealing Zheng Mingfeng's nonsense. After dinner, after the two children went back to their room, Li Xiaoqin told him about Li Haitang's college entrance examination.
After listening, Zheng Wentao stayed silent all night, smoking in the living room and sitting alone until late at night.
Li Xiaoqin also tossed and turned in bed, not falling asleep in the middle of the night. Her mind was filled with the child's face and the memories that had been sealed for many years.
Li Haitang, on the other hand, was the opposite of them. After a long day, she was tired and slept soundly at night.
Two days later, a family of five returned to the village. As for the others, they did not go back. A few shops were inseparable from people, and the group of children did not go back for the time being.
As soon as they got home, Li Jianhong greeted them with a smile on his face. Li Jianguo told her two days in advance that she would help clean up the house first, and then order everything needed for the banquet in advance.
With her in advance, they wouldn't have much to deal with when they came back. Li Jianguo drove out several times that afternoon, and the people who were supposed to be invited were all invited, and the food and use were all arranged, only to be picked up tomorrow morning.
As soon as Li Haitang returned home, she was surrounded by many stars and moons. All the trivial things in the house were left to her father and aunt fen to do. She directly shook off the shopkeeper and chatted with the villagers.
Since Li Yuanhua had informed them earlier that the li family would not accept any money for the banquet, every family in the village sent a person to help. His captain spent the whole day happily arranging for people to do things. He also hired a retired old teacher to write couplets, making the family look very festive.
Li Haitang looked around at the couplets at every door. The teacher was the teacher. This was different. She was too embarrassed to read them.
Around ten o' clock, the leaders of the office of Ping shan town town and the principal and teachers of the town high school all came to celebrate. Li Haitang, the top liberal arts scholar in the province, had really given them a long face. These days, the phone calls in the province, the city and the county kept ringing, praising and praising them. This was an affirmation of their work, and the big guy was naturally very happy.
After a polite conversation with each of these people, Li Haitang invited everyone into the house to rest, and then took Mr. Tang's arm and started chatting.
At eleven o' clock, all the wangs came over.
Wang Li, who had regained his slim figure, was wearing a blue short-sleeved blouse with a knee-length skirt of the same color, a pair of white sandals and a long braid of sheep's horns.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw so many leaders and teachers here. She greeted them politely and jokingly, "Mayor wu, deputy mayor liu, president Wan, and all the leaders, I am also another undergraduate from Ping shan town this year. Although I am much worse than haitang, don't be so obvious. Come to my house and sit down and give me a long face. Otherwise, I would be completely crushed to the dust by haitang in less than two days."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed at her. That's right. There were only three undergraduate students in Ping shan town this year. Besides the two of them, the other was a science student from County one middle school. In fact, the two of them did well in the exam, but Li Haitang was so popular that their light dimmed a lot.
After laughing, mayor wu said, "Okay, we will go to the wang family tomorrow to give Wang Li a long face, and then we will go to xue Cage's house the next day." Xue Cage also graduated from Ping shan town high school, but he was not in the same class as Li Haitang and the others. He was in the key science class of the County one middle school. Like Wang Li, he was enrolled in an ordinary undergraduate course and enrolled in the provincial university of technology.
"Hehe, haitang, you go to my house tomorrow and we'll go to xue Cage's house the day after tomorrow." When the leader spoke, wang lilie ran over and took Li Haitang's arm.
Li Haitang joked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll steal your limelight?"
Wang Li choked, patted her on the head, and said fiercely, "You better put some dirt on me tomorrow. It's better to stand in the crowd in patched clothes. Behave yourself and watch me shine."
"No conscience. Don't start. You're so strong. What if you hit me dumb?" Li Haitang rubbed the place she hit. It really hurt.
Wang Li rubbed her head with his paws. "You're smarter than me even if you're stupid. Just a few more punches will flatten your iq."
"Hehe, you are such a funny child." Mr. Tang pulled her to the side, and Wang Li was a happy fruit. She was always laughing with her.
Today, the wang family, apart from Wang Tiao, who was still selling popsicles in the provincial capital, the wang family and the Wang Yao family, all three of them came and sat beside them drinking tea while watching them laugh.
"Haitang, you and that Zhou Yunyang did really well in the exam this time. You two were wearing saffron on the streets and on tv. We saw it all. It was also published in the newspaper. That photo was taken beautifully." Mother of Wangli laughed. She really didn't expect Zhou Yunyang to do so well in school. This really echoed her daughter's words: birds of a feather flock together.
"That's right. Haitang, it's very nice. You must have other photos. Hurry up and share them with us." Wang Li knew that her classmate, Zhou Yunyang, was a photogenic person. There must be a lot of photos taken for this occasion.
Before Li Haitang could get up, another Li Tao, who had been too happy to sleep for days and nights, came out with a big box and put all her awards, certificates and photo albums on the table.
There were a lot of people at the banquet that day, and a lot of people came from the nearby villages. Some came to congratulate them sincerely, and some came to eat and drink purely. There were three rounds of banquets, twenty tables per round, which was very warm and polite in the countryside.
Mr. Tang and his group ate at the first round of banquet and left shortly after they finished eating. The wang family followed closely behind. Their family was also a wealthy family in the town. When they left Wang Li, a college student, they naturally had to hold a banquet to celebrate. They had already set the time for tomorrow, so they naturally had to go back early to prepare today.
After sending away the noisy guests, the villagers helped to clean the dishes in the back kitchen until around four o' clock. They were no longer entertained in the evening. They distributed some leftover fresh fish and leftovers to the families, as well as some sweets, cigarettes, and wine to let them go home and eat by themselves.
Duan Jinqiao took a deep breath. The little girl rubbed her sore arm and complained, "I'm so tired!"
Li Haitang was the easiest person to do today. She walked over and rubbed her shoulders. She smiled and said, "Thank you so much today, jin qiao. You've been helping out all day. You must be exhausted. I'll give you a massage."
Duan Jinqiao, this little girl, was really very diligent and obedient. Today, there were so many guests coming and going. She was the one who handled all the tea. She kept boiling water and making tea. She was busy all day.
"Hehe, it's okay. Sister hoi tong, I'll take a nap at night and recover tomorrow." Duan Jinqiao was now really part of the family, and every time she came here, she felt very happy. She would do her best to help on such a big occasion.
Li Haitang smiled, loosened her shoulders with just the right amount of force, and then asked her to lie down and rest. Everyone else was tired too. She asked everyone to rest and she would cook dinner for the night.
The next day, he went to the wang family for a banquet and, of course, cooperated to give Wang Li enough face.
On the third day, Li Jianguo returned to the provincial capital with the others. He and Liu Fen had to go back to work, while Li Tao and Duan Jinqiao had to continue to earn money.
Li Haitang planned to play at home for a few more days, so he moved to town first. She was stuck with Wang Li every day. The two of them went to xue Cage's house for dinner, then to Mr. Tang's house for a day, and played at the wang's house for two days before they returned to the provincial capital together.
