Chapter 90 Farewell Banquet
As the saying goes, three, six, nine, go out, two, five, eight, go home.
It is very said that when you go out, you have to choose 369 when you go out, that is, when you go out, you will be on the third day of the lunar calendar, sixth day of the sixth day, and ninth day of the lunar calendar, it will be auspicious to go out.
Wang Bo is very efficient in his work. In just two days, Wang Bo got the soft sleeper train ticket from Sanzhangjiang City to Harbin City. The date is exactly the ninth day of the lunar calendar, which is the best day to go out.
In addition to purchasing three soft sleeper tickets, Wang Bo also brought 200 kilograms of national food coupons and Northeast specialties that Wang Bo had previously promised.
National food coupons were a remarkable thing at that time. Only national food coupons could be used nationwide, and local food coupons could only be used locally.
You take the food coupons from the place to other places, but other places don’t recognize your food coupons. It is precisely for this reason that there were fewer people going out at that time. Without food coupons, you can’t have enough food.
However, Li Zhongxin is not short of money now, and Zhongxin Company has a good relationship with various departments, so it is still easy to get a few tickets for soft sleepers.
Through Hong Bin's relationship, the flight tickets from Harbin City to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport were also booked. As long as Wang Yaqing took Wang Xiutai and the others to Harbin City Airport, there would naturally be someone to help them apply for the flight ticket and board the plane.
Wang Bo doesn't have many local specialties, they are all lightweight items such as dry fungus and dried monkey heads, but they are quite exquisite, and are of the finest products of bass fungus and monkey heads.
After everything was ready, Li Zhongxin asked Wang Bo to order a good meal at the Sibai Restaurant in Jiangcheng, which was a happy banquet for his mother and great-grandfather.
Getting into the car and getting off the car is a tradition and a habit. Under Li Shangyong's obstruction, Wang Bo only ordered four meats, two vegetarian dishes, six dishes, and four plates of dumplings.
According to Li Shangyong, even if you have to go out, you should not waste it too much. It is difficult to make money at this time. If you eat and drink a lot every day, you will be poor sooner or later.
No matter what you eat and drink, you can't even think about it, you're poor. That's nonsense. Anyway, Li Shangyong didn't see the family eating and drinking with big fish and meat every day, and the family was rich and rich.
There are only six people in and out of their homes. If they get too much food, it would be a crime.
This has a lot to do with Li Shangyong's family conditions.
Li Shangyong's fourth child is the youngest child. His mother, Li Zhongxin's grandmother, died shortly after he was born. Li Zhongxin's grandfather worked alone in Liao Province and could not afford to support these children. So Li Shangyong and his brothers all went to Jiangcheng to live at the home of Li Zhongxin's grandfather (grandfather's brother).
Li Zhongxin's grandfather's family had six children, plus the four children in Li Shangyong's family, a total of ten children. Even though Li Zhongxin's grandfather's family was still wealthy at that time, he still couldn't eat enough.
Li Shangyong kept telling Li Zhongxin that he was at the old man's house when he was a child.
Many times, they can wake up hungry when they go to bed at night. Now that their family lives are better, they must develop the good habit of being thrifty and thrifty, and they cannot waste it at any time.
When Li Shangyong was young, the ancient poem that Li Zhongxin memorized the most was "Praise for the Farmers". When he was young, he told Li Zhongxin that one grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of rice was exchanged for farmers' blood and sweat. Be careful when eating, don't lose rice grains, and don't keep food at any time.
Although Li Shangyong has always advocated frugality, he made a statement at the table in the Siba Restaurant. He said to Wang Yaqing: "Xiaoqing! Go to Guangzhou, you are unfamiliar with the place. Don't be reluctant to spend money there. Leave twenty yuan for him and Li Zhongxin at home. Let Yaqing take all the remaining money and take the old man there for fun."
Li Shangyong almost said that the old couple went to Guangzhou this time, maybe it was the last time they went out. If they didn't let the old couple have fun, it would be unreasonable.
Wang Bo glanced at his brother-in-law Li Shangyong and said with dissatisfaction: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Didn't I say everything? All the expenses for the second grandpa and his friends to Guangzhou this time are covered by me. Just keep your money. During the Chinese New Year, go to your elder sister to buy more good things to see my elder sister. My money is enough."
After Wang Bo finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhongxin quite complacently, and his eyes seemed to tell Li Zhongxin, look at how open my third uncle, I will do everything. All the expenses will be covered. Anyway, it is your kid who pays the money.
Li Zhongxin glanced at Wang Bo, and the meaning was very clear. You can do everything by yourself. Don’t cast a look at me for consultation. If you let your mother and father see the flaws, that would be bad.
Li Zhongxin told Wang Bo several times that if there was no need to ask for his opinion, Wang Bo almost exposed the matter a few times. If Li Zhongxin hadn't been smart and quickly distracted from the topic, Li Zhongxin's secret would have been unstoppable.
Li Zhongxin did not want his family to know about the money he had. Once he let his family know too early, his comfortable life would be gone forever.
After his rebirth, Li Zhongxin’s greatest wish is to make the people in his family live a happy and fulfilling life. If these stubborn people in the family know that Li Zhongxin has done such a big thing, it will not only have no benefits, but will have many disadvantages.
Li Shangyong put the chopsticks on the table and said with a dark face: "That's not possible. Your money is not caused by the strong wind. If you pay for the ticket, you have already spent a lot of money. For other expenses, you must be spent by your elder sister, otherwise I won't agree. That's it. You are responsible for the round-trip air tickets and train tickets, and I will pay the rest."
Although Li Shangyong is not the kind of person who only wants to save face, he does not agree that Wang Bo will spend all the money.
After all, Li Zhongxin's great-grandfather raised Li Zhongxin's mother. When such a thing happened, they had to contribute money and work, and they could not let their brother-in-law take care of everything alone.
Li Zhongxin looked at Wang Bo, who was being hurt internally with a smile, and laughed unconsciously.
He thought to himself that it seems that you still don’t know me. Why didn’t I mention such a thing before? Because I have the foresight and know that I will not let you pay another penny.
Although there were a few small episodes during the farewell banquet, this small episode did not affect the interest of Li Zhongxin and the others in eating and drinking. The whole family happily swept away the food and dumplings.
Chapter completed!
