Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 103 Invitation

While Lu Changhua was waiting for his eldest brother's wedding to be held, Mr. and Mrs. Lu in Beining were anxious and had blisters on their lips.

A few days ago, my son and daughter-in-law came to Beining. They went shopping with them. They also followed their son and daughter-in-law back to the Changshui Farm to meet their in-laws.

Under the witness of the introducer, the bride price was passed smoothly.

But when the wedding arrangements were discussed, Lao Lu felt uncomfortable.

why?The wedding was held in the farm canteen, and most of the guests were women. As a commoner, how could the man compare with others?

Who among the heads of various units on the farm would not go to the woman’s side? !
In comparison, the man is too weak.

Director Han, who only played three points at most, could barely come out to support the scene. This was because he was reaching the age limit and there was no possibility of promotion anymore, so he came to support the man.

This is overwhelming.

It stands to reason that in this case, the woman should take the initiative to assign some guests to the man's side, at least the scene will look good.

But this time Zhao Huaian said with a smile: "Lao Lu, how many tables do you want to prepare for the guests here?"

Lao Lu Xin said, we paid for the entire wedding, why are you still the guest?
Not to be outdone, Lao Lu asked with a smile: "How many tables does the woman need us to prepare here?"

Here are two old men competing in secret.

"I really haven't calculated it carefully, but I guess I have to have thirty tables to start with."

You know, a high-end banquet now costs at least a hundred yuan for twelve hard dishes.

This woman's guest would have to spend more than 3000 yuan, which made both Lao Lu and Lu's mother gasp.

"We're about the same."

These were Lao Lu’s angry words.

As soon as these words came out, he felt something was wrong.

Upon seeing this, the introducer, Minister Sun, quickly smoothed things over.

"Each family should do it according to their own actual situation. I think it will be [-] tables, or [-] tables per family. More is not necessary and the cost will be high."

Zhao Huaian remained silent, but Puhua still insisted on monopolizing thirty tables.

"Too petty, how can I explain to everyone?!"

Lu Changzhong and Zhao Yan did not dare to interrupt, so they could only act anxiously.

In fact, Lao Lu didn't dare to fight against his in-laws. Who would let his family have the power?

He could only grit his teeth and agree.

Finally, we decided on [-] tables for women and [-] tables for men.

Lu Changzhong's face was red and he wanted to argue, but Zhao Yan held him tightly and shook his head.

Seeing his parents suffer such humiliation, the son felt angry.

I wanted to have an attack, but things have reached this point, so just endure it if you can.

Lao Lu also glared at his son and stopped Lu Changzhong's unwiseness.

Lao Lu and his wife originally wanted to go back to the three-point court to chat with Changhua, but they were so upset that they went back to Beining in anger.

Lu Changhua doesn't know these things yet.

The time was approaching and the guest list for the banquet had not yet been decided. Lao Lu felt that it was impossible not to say anything, so he had to call Lu Changhua.

On the phone, Lao Lu tactfully explained the current situation.

Of the forty banquet tables, the man only had ten tables, and it was also a problem who to invite.

When Lu Changhua heard this, he said, "I'll go. The Zhao family wants to overpower the Lu family and deliberately makes things difficult."

"Dad, our family also has thirty tables. We can't save this money. You come forward and tell eldest brother that the banquet is for sixty tables. All the extra money has been spent. We can't save money here."

"There is also the matter of inviting guests, I will take care of it."

When Lao Lu heard what his son said, he hesitated for a while and then agreed.

"Okay, then you should hurry up and invite us to the thirty tables. At least we can't lose in terms of momentum."

"Well, don't worry."

According to the scale of 240 tables, there are [-] people.

If we just count the number of people, there will be thousands of people in the three-point field.

Lu Changhua thought for a moment and realized there was no need.

Three courts leave ten tables enough.

The leader of the company, the tractor and Combine captains who are familiar with the maintenance team, the master who repairs this area, plus the neighbors, residents who have a good relationship with the Lu family, teachers at the school, and people in the cafeteria Old man, wait, ten tables are enough.

It can not only thank these people for their support and care over the years, but also make them feel that the Lu family is considerate.

With the remaining twenty tables, Lu Changhua also had a headache.

He had many dealings with Beining Oil Factory.

It’s no problem to share a table at the oil and fat factory’s purchasing center and office.

There is no problem with the Heihe Fishery Bac Ninh Office and the Bac Ninh Fisheries Company.

It’s no problem for Secretary Wang and Director Huang from No. 1 Beining to sit at the same table.

Of course, Wang Yao and Wu Xia can sit at the same table.

This is only four tables.

What to do if there are still sixteen tables left?
He didn't think clearly for a while.

However, Lu Changhua is a man of action. Whether it works or not depends on the implementation.

He first walked around the branch area, from Director Han to the original employees in the cafeteria. None of them should be hired.

Let them be prepared. A car will pick them up early in the morning on May Day and go to the venue to have a banquet.

They all knew that this was Lu Changzhong's wedding, and they all accepted it happily.

Make an appointment to wait in front of the team gate.

There is nothing to say about the neighbors of the Lu family.

The Hu family, Mao family, and He family all happily nodded in agreement.

Of course Hu Dagui is the one who must be there, and he is also the best man.

Narrow Eyes was also invited to be the best man. Although he has small eyes, he is not ugly and energetic.

After he arranged these things, he asked Hu Dagui to take him to the intersection the next day.

Get on the bus and drive to Beining.

When I arrived in Beining, the first thing I did was to visit Director Huang and Secretary Wang.

When Director Huang saw Lu Changhua, who had not been here for a long time, suddenly appeared, he asked, "What kind of wind brought you here?"

"Director, I would like to invite you to a wedding on May Day."

"Huh? May Day? Whose wedding is it?"

"My brother's."

Lu Changhua explained his purpose of coming.

The overall meaning is that he needs Director Huang and Secretary Wang to support him and bring blessings to his elder brother.

"I can, just ask Secretary Wang for his arrangements."

Secretary Wang was very happy after hearing the whole story. "Xiao Lu, there's nothing difficult about this. As long as you're willing to give up your food and drinks, we can just invite our related units."

He turned to look at Director Huang and said, "Please invite the provincial department store. You can also invite the sales office of the manufacturer. Please leave two tables for us."

"Okay, thank you secretary."

Lu Changhua bowed to Secretary Wang, which was a huge favor these days.

After leaving Liudao Street, he went to the aquatic products company on Sandao Street.

Fatty Zhang from the business department is drinking tea. He will get off work soon. He is making time here.

Seeing Lu Changhua come in, he was overjoyed.

"Hey, Xiao Lu, why do you have time to come to my place?"

"Chief Zhang, are you going to attend a wedding on May [-]st?!"

"Who wants to get married? You?"

"My brother, my dear brother, aren't I here to invite you?"

"Okay, I have to go do this."

"Chief Zhang, I guess there is some inside story about this."

Lu Changhua told what happened.

"Oh, I see."

Fatty Zhang was happy.

"It's a simple matter. I'll take the business unit with me to make you look good."

"Please leave two tables for me."

Lu Changhua was happy, it was a good feeling.

It's noon.

Lu Changhua went directly to Erdao Street.

Find Wang Yao at the door of the police supplies company.

With little effort, Wang Yao and Wu Xia came out together.

Lu Changhua directly sent an invitation to the wedding banquet.

Wang Yao and Wu Xia were first shocked, thinking that Lu Changhua was getting married.

After asking if it was his eldest brother's wedding, they both laughed.

"That's no problem, we will definitely go there."

"Yes, isn't it just to go to a few respectable people? This is easy to handle."

Lu Changhua invited the two of them to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, the three of them considered who else to invite.

"My uncle, haven't you met me before? We even had dinner together."

"Then I'll invite you."

"No, I'll just tell him and ask him to find some people to support the scene."

Lu Changhua also told Wang Yao that he rented a space to open a restaurant in No. 1 Huo, but Wang Yao laughed and said nothing.

"You two must be there when it opens!"

"Okay, definitely come and try Uncle Lu's craftsmanship."

In the afternoon, Lu Changhua made another trip to Beining Oil Factory.

Director Gong was surprised to see him.

"Xiao Lu, is something wrong with you?"

"Director, something's wrong."

When Lu Changhua invited him to the wedding, he laughed.

"no problem."

"Can you bring some units that cooperate with our factory?"

"What?"

"Just support the scene."

Lu Changhua explained the matter again, and Director Gong patted his chest, no problem.

"The exact number of tables will be decided tonight."

After a busy day, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Lu Changhua returned to the yard.

He called again one by one to confirm the number of people and tables.

These sixteen tables were finally successfully booked.

It was arranged that a bus would pick up people at the 1st cargo gate on May Day, and everyone gathered here.

Lu Changhua went to the passenger station again, went directly to the stationmaster, and rented five buses for one day to travel between Beining and Changshui Farm.

Of course, the passenger station transportation team cannot refuse such business.

We made an appointment at 1 o'clock in the morning on May [-]st. Four vehicles were picked up at the [-]st cargo gate, and one empty vehicle went directly to Changshui Farm [-]rd Street to pick people up.

The car is leaving earlier.

There are only two days left before May Day. The passenger terminal immediately allocates vehicles, and they must use new vehicles. After all, they are transporting the top people from various units in Beining.

Lao Lu learned that his son had made all arrangements.

It took a long breath.

The old couple has been getting angry these days.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, we'll go directly from Beining."

"You guys take the four cars and go here with the first cargo. I'll take the empty car and go back to the three-point field to pick up people. Let's go to the eldest brother's new house first, and then go to the wedding venue."

"Okay, just follow your arrangement."

Early in the morning of May Day, five brand-new buses were parked on the traffic road in front of the 1st cargo gate, with big red words of "Happy" on the front windows.

Lu Changhua took his parents into the car.

Pin corsages on parents’ chests, and you’ll be able to identify them as your parents.

Secretary Wang and his people are already waiting.

"Secretary Wang, thank you for your hard work. We will leave when everyone is here. Get in the car first. It's cold outside."

"Okay, you are busy with your work."

Secretary Wang got into the car with his people.

Letting his parents greet the guests here, he got on another empty car.

The bus honked its horn twice, turned on its lights and left first.

Lu Changhua directed the bus to turn onto the gravel road to Changshui Farm.
