Zhang Lan didn't quite understand why Xie Ruidong set the time for the party in such a hurry. It wasn't something that was particularly urgent. Why don't we get together in a group and discuss the time together? What was the purpose of setting the party three days later?

However, Xie Ruidong did not explain the reason for doing this. He only said that he would take the high-speed train to Kyoto tonight and asked Zhang Lan to pick him up. Then we would talk about the party.

That night, Xie Ruidong arrived in Kyoto. As soon as they met after leaving the station, Zhang Lan took Xie Ruidong to the hotel they had booked. On the way, Xie Ruidong and Zhang Lan explained that the reason why they were so close was that he had only been free for a few days recently.

After he was transferred to a new position, he would probably be too busy to spare any time. So Xie Ruidong wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to hold a party quickly.

Zhang Lan was a little speechless. She just had to do it if she didn't have time. Why was she so anxious? Xie Ruidong laughed and explained the reason to Zhang Lan.

For no other reason than that among the classmates invited this time, Xie Ruidong happened to be transferred to the other party's father-in-law in a while, and Xie Ruidong wanted to take this opportunity to make contacts in advance.

As for what Xie Ruidong said during the day that most of the classmates at the party are closest to Kyoto, they are all lies. The real reason is that this classmate works in a unit here in Kyoto and is usually busy with work. Recently, he has been free for two days on weekends. .

……

Three days later, Xie Ruidong invited many classmates this time to Zhang Lan's farm in the suburbs of Beijing. In addition, the place Zhang Lan provided was a farm, and it was the weekend.

Therefore, there are many students who come here, and many of them bring their families with them. They just take the opportunity to take their families out to have fun.

Xie Ruidong hired a dedicated team to take charge of the whole event. Although it was a self-service barbecue, it still had staple food, otherwise it would be difficult to carry out many topics.

There are also service staff to take care of all the trivial matters before and after meals.

There was a table set up at the farm gate and a large parasol. There were several bottles of water and a sign-in sheet on it, and Xie Ruidong was sitting there chatting with others.

The place was provided by Zhang Lan, but in the past two days, apart from coming over at night, Zhang Lan was still at the clinic during the day.

Xie Ruidong is in charge of everything here at the farm. In the morning, Qin Yongjun had to go to her grandfather for something and asked Zhang Lan to come with him.

So Zhang Lan came a little late. When Zhang Lan came, some old classmates sitting on the chairs at the door smiled and shouted: "This landlord is too late, he must drink wine as a penalty at noon."

"Yes, yes, hurry up and sign in, everyone is almost here." One of the students pointed to the sign-in sheet on the table and said.

Zhang Lan responded with a smile, and while chatting with a few old classmates he hadn't seen for many years, he signed his name on the sign-in book.

Then he scanned a hundred yuan on the payment code on the table. The one hundred yuan was share money. Originally, after Xie Ruidong got together, he said that Zhang Lan would provide the place, he would provide the food and drinks, and the other students would just come over.

Someone in the middle disagreed and asked how much money should be paid. The final solution was to place a payment code at the gate, and people who came to sign in could just scan the code.

Then Xie Ruidong asked for a maximum of one hundred yuan. If it was too much, he would return ten times the amount according to the name. He also laughed and said that whoever had more names and criticisms would be criticized when the time comes.

They are all middle-aged. Not everyone’s life is the same, and no one can tell what difficulties will happen to someone’s family.

Xie Ruidong laughed in the group, but after the rules were set, Xie Ruidong and Zhang Lan said that there were several students who did not respond at first, but later said in the group that they would come over.

After Zhang Lan arrived, several more people came one after another. When it was about eleven o'clock, Xie Ruidong looked at the sign-in sheet and said, "I think there are almost a lot of people here, right? Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?" Are you here? If everyone is here, let's go in?" "Are you here? How many names have been signed here? How many people have said they want to come before?"

"It's almost time. It's already here. Those who are supposed to come have already arrived. That means those who want to drive here will be a little later, and those who have a long way to go arrived last night."

"Then let's start first. I'll ask the staff to watch here. When people arrive, just go in."

"Then let's go. This is a buffet. It doesn't make any difference if you come earlier or later. Those who came here first have children. Don't let the children go hungry." Zhang Lan said.

After toasting together, everyone gathered in separate groups, exchanged information and chatted about their respective topics.

Zhang Lan and Yang Tao each held a tray with some barbecue on it. They found a small table in the corner and sat together.

It was said to be a class reunion, but Zhang Lan didn't let Xie Ruidong make it into a big table.

At the beginning, Zhang Lan and Xie Ruidong's proposal was to use a large area, build more small tables, and then each have their own food.

If you are having a good time, join more tables. If you want to be quiet, find a small table and eat by yourself.

Just like the food stalls on the roadside, the difference is that everyone knows each other.

Xie Ruidong was not very satisfied with Zhang Lan's proposal. He thought it was a class reunion. What could it have done?

However, after getting together to discuss the day's process, Xie Ruidong felt that Zhang Lan was right.

Although some of them have not seen each other for several years, or even have little contact with them. But it is nonsense to expect that when there are more people, everyone will be harmonious.

In addition, some people only proposed to bring their wives and children over after Zhang Lan and Xie Ruidong offered free food and accommodation. They even said before that they had no time to come.

With the passage of time and the changes in living environment, who has experienced what he has experienced best over the years.

It's a hastily organized class reunion, and it's not a reunion you really want to get together, so don't make so many noises.

It's very simple. After everyone is here, you can take what you want to eat, eat with whomever you want, and chat casually.

There are about fifty or sixty people. After bringing their families and children, the seventy or eighty people have to eat and drink, and provide tools and semi-finished products. It is most convenient for them to do it themselves.

"Did Li Chaoyang not come over to call you this time?" Yang Tao asked casually.

"I told him on WeChat that he can't leave home now. The child was just born not long ago and his wife's health is not good. Also, his father has cerebral infarction and diabetes. I checked it before and he can take care of himself, but he usually can't leave home." He also needs someone to take care of him. Although the elderly on both sides can help him take care of his children and home, in fact he can't leave home." Zhang Lan said with a sigh.

Yang Tao said helplessly: "I mentioned to him before that if it doesn't work, let him move to my house. Then I will arrange a job for him in the supermarket, and his parents will be the gatekeepers, but he won't go."

"Both sides are only children, and there are four old people. How can it be so easy to move and change places." Zhang Lan shook her head and said. (End of chapter)
