By the time Zhuang Jianye returned to Xingzhou, it was already more than eight o'clock in the night. In the mid-1980s, after all, he was not as rich in nightlife as later generations. The service industry did not close in the middle of the night.
As soon as it gets dark, they close down one after another. So when Zhuang Jianye comes home, it's quiet all the way. Fortunately, his home is still lively. Ning Xiaodong and others are here to discuss the wedding tomorrow.
It's lively, but if you listen carefully, it's nothing more than how to divide the melon seeds; how much candy to take; whether the two newlyweds bite apples or dates, which is far less complicated than 20 or 30 years later.
After listening for a while, Zhuang Jianye just yawned. Ning Xiaohui glared at him. He could only make a pot of tea and boil it while drinking.
"That's the host's decision. Lao Luan has written the manuscript well. He said that when he was in the army, he presided over the marriage of his officers and soldiers, absolutely no problem."
Just when Zhuang Jianye was sleepy again, Ning Xiaodong finally said something to his surprise, which could be regarded as limiting the sleepers climbing up, but that is to say, Luan Heping always likes to talk about it, so it's a good use to be a host.
So Zhuang Jianye nodded mechanically, took a sip of tea and was ready to continue to doze off. Then he heard Lu Ming from the opposite side ask, "by the way, Jianye, how many people can you come to tomorrow?"
"This..." Asked this question, Zhuang Jianye was stunned for a moment and immediately frowned: "I didn't give much notice. It's estimated that only a few acquaintances can come over. The rest..."
Zhuang Jianye thought about it and shook his head: "should not come back."
"How much can I get? Give me an accurate number. I'll have to report it to the hotel manager later. " Lu Ming is in a bit of a hurry. The most important thing for her to get married is the number of guests, so that she can book a banquet.
It's easy to do it in other people's homes. Even if you count it with your fingers, you can understand it. The problem is that the social influence of Lao Ning's family is not small, and the number of related parties is not even clear to them. So it's really hard to calculate how many people can come that day.
During the day, Ning Xiaodong and others didn't do anything else. They just count their heads with their fingers. It's hard to work out a general idea. Now there's another Zhuang Jianye. Naturally, they have to ask.
Zhuang Jianye frowned and thought about it. He didn't mention his sister-in-law's marriage in the factory. Shen Jianwei, Lin Guanghua and Peng Chuan, who came out of Yonghong factory in those years, knew that with their family members or something, there were only about 20 people who could survive. If they were crowded, there would be two tables.
So Zhuang Jianye took a sip of tea and said, "there are only more than 20 people. They are all old people from Yonghong factory. They know Xiaoxue as well. You can count them according to three tables. If you are rich, you can arrange them."
Lu Ming nodded. Instead of recording it in the book, she looked at Ning Xiaohui. It is obvious that this resolute man knows what virtue Zhuang Jianye is at home, which is a copy of Ning Zhishan.
In addition to a mild temper, it's my uncle at home. I don't think I'll be forced to open my mouth and stretch out my hand. That's absolutely true. If I don't say anything else, Lu Ming now asks Zhuang Jianye where to put tomorrow's new clothes. I can't find them.
At this level, Lu Ming may be at ease, so she has to consult Xia Ning and Zhuang's joint housekeeper.
"Five tables, if it's not enough to make a joke." Ning Xiaohui is naturally more sober than Zhuang Jianye, who only dozes off. After thinking about it, she gives a reliable number, and Lu Ming nods with satisfaction.
The immediate family members of the director of a large factory get married only for two tables. No one will believe it. Unless the factory is going to end, someone will spread the news. When the time comes, the wine table is not enough. What can we do?
Fortunately, Ning Xiaohui is a good hand at home. Otherwise, what should we do if we are all like the old man and Zhuang Jianye? Fortunately, Xiaodong is not bad. What he taught himself was going out of the hall, getting out of the kitchen, getting out of bed Hey, hey, this is a good man to look after the family.
The more Lu Ming compares, the more she feels that Ning Xiaodong is ten thousand times better than Zhuang Jianye. She is in a better mood. Naturally, the speed of discussion is much faster. In less than an hour, she decides everything for tomorrow.
Wait to see people off, Zhuang Jianye head into the sofa, Ning Xiaohui no good voice patted Zhuang Jianye butt: "to sleep in the house to sleep."
"Where's Dudu?"
"I played with the old man all day, but I didn't come back." Ning Xiaohui gathered up the tea set and went to push Zhuang Jianye. As a result, when she touched Zhuang Jianye's shoulder, she was let go.
Ning Xiaohui was startled. As soon as she was about to shout, she was hugged by a princess of Zhuang Jianye. Haha, she laughed: "don't use waking up the child as an excuse later..."
"Villain ~ ~" Ning Xiaohui's cheek is red, and he beats Zhuang Jianye on the chest. Zhuang Jianye laughs and hugs her and goes into the bedroom.
……
At noon the next day, Zhuang Jianye was a little depressed. When Luan Heping asked if there was too much public grain yesterday, Zhuang Jianye naturally denied justice and then asked the old man, you are so busy in the early morning that you can have a try.
If it's ordinary people, it's just like Zhuang Jianye's words. But who is Lao Luan? He was thick skinned when he was a soldier. Now he's in business and can be used as tank armor. So he laughs: "well, you're still young. You want another child while you're still in good health. I've heard that you're the last one in the family planning system of your factory. It's not bad, anyway I'm used to it organizationally. ""When you are old, don't envy young people for their energy. If you have nothing to do, recite your manuscript!" Zhuang Jianye was a bit polite and didn't take it back directly.
Luan Heping is a smile, came a nearly let Zhuang Jianye black line words: "your sister-in-law is pregnant again, how? Do you envy me? "
"Go away!" Zhuang Jianye had no choice but to coax the goods away.
Seeing that Zhuang Jianye wanted to eat people, Luan Heping left immediately with a bad smile. Because more people came today, the scene of Zhuang Jianye and Luan Heping's joking was seen by many people. Most people didn't care, but a small group of people were indignant.
Among them are Qiao Chenyu and Cui Wen.
"Bah ~ ~ with two bad money, we should treat the basic national policy as a drama!" Seeing no one noticed, Qiao Chenyu spat. Cui Wen frowned and sighed: "what can I do? Can you still Sue people? "
"I..." Qiao Chenyu was like a duck pinched by his neck. He was speechless and his face turned red. At last, he said coldly, "I just can't stand these upstarts who are engaged in individual business. They look like they are high up. What's the place here? No.1 guest house, the facade and signboard of Yonghong factory, what is it now? It's used as a place to get married. Lao Cui, don't you feel bad after seeing it? "
"What can I do if I feel uncomfortable? Who would have thought that after Ning Zhishan retired, his children would start to make a fortune. One by one, they are more capable than the other. What would happen if you and I stayed up until the deputy director? Every month is not the tens of dollars salary, hey ~ ~ instead of thinking about these useless, it's better to consider how to go in the next factory. "
As soon as Cui Wen said this, Qiao Chenyu's face was a little ugly. He still choked his neck and said angrily, "I just feel subdued!"
