"How can there not be enough fish?"

Chen Yongsheng asked Uncle Zhang.

"Your family has many relatives and friends, and more people come from the village. It exceeds the budget by 20 tables, and there is only one fish per table, so there is only a shortfall of 20 fish."

"Arrange for someone to buy it!"

Things that can be done with money are really nothing for Chen Yousheng and his family.

"Shengzi, it's not about money. We have already sent people to the countryside. There are other fish, but not mandarin fish. I went to the county town to buy it. It took 4 hours to go back and forth. It's past 9 o'clock now. I bought it and cooked it.

What time has it been for people to eat? Besides, can those 30 tables be opened? How about changing to carp? Carp is readily available and can be bought in 20 minutes."

Uncle Zhang is very anxious.

Chen Yousheng was in trouble.

"No! You will get scolded."

Same guests, different treatment, the news would have a great impact on their family. Chen Yousheng scratched his head and didn't know what to do.

I listened to the conversation between the two. I understood that 20 mandarin fish was certainly not a problem for me. Without saying hello to Chen Yousheng in advance, I quietly found two empty buckets, carried them out, and looked for someone to carry them.

He entered the space, selected 20 average-sized mandarin fish, and brought them back.

"Shengzi, Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I have fish here."

The two of them were stunned when they saw me quietly carrying two buckets of mandarin fish.

"Where did it come from?"

Uncle Zhang knew that there was nothing for sale in the village, so I quickly got the fish. He couldn't believe it.

"Ah! Sir, don't ask where it came from. Just make the fish quickly and don't delay it for the banquet."

Uncle Zhang carried the fish into the kitchen. Chen Yousheng murmured and reached out to pat my shoulder, looking very close to me.

"I said Chen Lingyu, are you doing tricks? This has helped me a lot."

"Just think of me as a magician, and you can do whatever you need to do."

Chen Yousheng handed me a cigarette and lit it for me personally. I still pretended to take a puff.

"These 20 fish cost at least five to six thousand. Just wait and I will get the money for you."

Say it, and he goes to the back room.

I grabbed him.

"Shengzi, this fish is considered a favor from me, but I can't accept the money. If you give me money, I won't drink the wedding wine because you are not friendly enough."

In fact, Chen Yousheng and I have nothing to do with each other. When I joined the class just now, those classmates were laughing and taunting me, but Chen Yousheng seemed to be more understanding and considerate of me. For this reason, I decided to give this fish to him for free.

"How can that be done? It costs five to six thousand yuan."

He still brought me the money. In front of the villagers, I didn’t want to argue with him, so I whispered with a serious face:

"If I take the money, I will leave immediately. You don't treat me as a classmate, let alone a buddy. You treat me as a businessman. If you don't give me the money, I will sit down and eat your wedding wine, even if

I'm happy if I just drink it cold and boiled."

Chen Yousheng is a man who has seen the world. He definitely listened to these two words of mine and hugged me as if he were his woman, making me very energetic.

"Good brother, be righteous! From now on, if you have any difficulties, just ask and I will sort it out for you. Didn't your sister-in-law say yesterday that she wanted to introduce her best friend to you? This matter is all on my shoulders. Is it you?

Whether we talk about the matter or not is my business."

He also became righteous.

"Thank you, brother."

He stopped mentioning the money thing, so I went up to the second floor and sat down with my classmates.

Those classmates were chatting in a lively manner. In addition to boasting about themselves, they also praised each other. I just regarded it as watching a peep show, but they actually ignored me, as if I didn't exist.

I comforted myself that I was here to attend Chen Yousheng's wedding and had nothing to do with them, otherwise I would have left long ago.

Finally, the banquet started. I have to say that the banquet held by the Chen family was of a very high standard. I don’t think Uncle Zhang could handle it alone. I learned from the classmates that Chen Yousheng’s father specially hired two cooks, but I

Didn't see it.

On the wine table, we smoked Huazi and drank from Taitai. This was the first serving in our village. Several classmates exchanged cups and drank heavily. I sat aside and was just a spectator. I didn't pay attention to this.

, waited until Chen Yousheng and his family came to toast.

What surprised the students was that after toasting together, Chen Yousheng had a drink with me alone. The students were confused. Chen Yousheng just smiled and winked at me, and went to another drinking table.

The classmates focused their attention on me and asked me what my relationship was with him. I smiled lightly and said, "It's the same as you, we are classmates. The difference is that both of us have the surname Chen, and we were in the same family five hundred years ago.

.”

They definitely didn't believe this reason, but I wouldn't go into details. They seemed to feel that they had treated me lightly before, and they all raised their glasses to drink with me. I used the excuse that I was too drunk to drink, so I only tasted it, but they didn't care.

Ma Xiaoer seemed to have a knot in his heart.

"Shengzi's banquet was very well done. In our village, it is estimated that not even the eight villages in the ten miles have a second one, so it's a no-brainer. I wonder if, classmate Chen Lingyu, you can meet this standard when you get married?"

I have no intention of competing with this kind of person.

"How can we compare to Shengzi's family? We can only have a few glasses of wine and some home-cooked food. Poor people can't afford luxuries, so they can't make a fool of themselves by pretending to be fat."

Ma Xiaoer made a "cut" sound and whispered, "After all, I can't get rid of being poor!"

But I heard it.

Liu Yongshan quietly stopped him next to him, and the classmates changed the topic one after another.

When I was full, I said "goodbye" and left without waiting for my classmates.

Chen Yousheng and his family were seeing off guests at the door, and when we were saying goodbye, he deliberately thrust a pack of cigarettes into my hand.

"Call me if you have anything to do."

I understand it from my heart.

As for Chen Yousheng, I have no intention of making friends with him. I have given him enough face and he behaves well. As for who my classmates love so and so.

It’s past one o’clock when I got home, and I really didn’t receive a call from Big Beard throughout noon. I originally planned to return to the county town today, but now I’m dizzy and want to take a nap. I’ll wait until Big Beard comes to pull fish tomorrow morning.

, wouldn’t it be more convenient to take a ride?

My parents bought two carts of cucumbers in the morning and brought back a cart of bamboo chips. They were building a greenhouse behind the house. After saying hello to them, I went back to the house to sleep.

I didn't expect that I would be so strong after drinking. When I woke up and it was already time to turn on the lamp, my mother called me to have dinner.

After dinner, I discussed something with my father and asked him to call his uncle to buy the two rooms in their house and ask how much it would cost.

My father was hesitant, but at my mother's urging, he finally made the call.

"20,000!"

The father was dejected.

“It’s too expensive and it’s grown so much!”

My mother was also surprised.

"I want my uncle's account number."

I didn’t make any comments. The prices of real estate in cities are rising, and rural housing land is also rising. According to the current price, a place with two rooms costs about 20,000 yuan.

The uncle quickly sent me the account number, and I transferred 20,000 yuan from mobile banking.

When my parents saw that I had finished it so quickly, their expressions of astonishment were indescribable.

"Dad, how do I go through the formalities with my uncle?"

"Your uncle said that he has entrusted the director of the village committee to handle everything. I will see him tomorrow."
