Chapter 61: Li Jianguo gave 1 cent and gave a clock, the deaf old lady was upset!
The next morning.
The snow had stopped.
The sun was shining brightly, and the weather was really good.
Li Jianguo got up early in the morning to make breakfast.
Since there were still two days before the wedding, Lou Xiaoe's parents had a lot of things to deal with, so Lou Xiaoe couldn't come today.
The problem of eating was that Li Jianguo had to do it himself.
Not to mention, he was a little uncomfortable without Lou Xiaoe.
On the other hand.
The courtyard was bustling at this time. On the one hand, it was because the New Year was coming soon.
On the other hand, it was naturally because tomorrow was the birthday banquet for the deaf old lady.
The three uncles went to various courtyards in the street early in the morning to borrow tables and chairs for the birthday banquet.
At the same time, they invited the neighbors to attend tomorrow.
To be honest, the old lady still had some face.
Most of the neighbors basically said that they would go to"Six Six Zero".
Even those who couldn't get away gave some birthday money and asked Yi Zhonghai to pay it on their behalf.
It took less than a morning.
Yi Zhonghai received a birthday gift of more than ten yuan.
This scene really made Yan Bugui envious.
"Throwing a birthday banquet is a good strategy to make money!"
"I'll try to organize a banquet with some other excuse some other day to see if I can make a lot of money!"
Yan Bugui followed the two uncles to visit.
At the same time, he had already made some calculations in his mind. Although he couldn't guess that this birthday banquet was used by the old lady to cut leeks, he was ready to copy this way of making money.
At this time, in the street office, it was very idle during the New Year.
The director of the street office and several other staff members were cracking melon seeds and chatting about their leisure time.
"The deaf old lady is going to hold a birthday party for her 90th birthday tomorrow. Should our street office express its support?"
The director mentioned the old lady's birthday party.
Naturally, no one had any objection to this.
While everyone was discussing how to express their support, an employee suddenly thought of a question.
"I remember the deaf old lady's personal information said she was only 83 years old. How come she is 90?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole office fell into silence.
Could it be that this 90th birthday was fake?
"There must have been a mistake during registration. After all, it is difficult to count the ages of people of their generation."
"And who is the old lady? She had woven straw sandals for the soldiers defending the country. She is definitely a good person and would never lie about this."
At the critical moment, the director stood up and spoke to rationalize the matter.
Listening to the director's words, everyone nodded subconsciously.
Indeed, the old lady's age is not easy to count.
And they don't believe that the old lady is the kind of person who would lie.
"Let’s not talk about the old lady."
"Isn't it going to be a wedding banquet for Jian Guo the day after tomorrow? He is the only level 5 engineer in our street, so we have to show our respect to him."
"That's true. Jianguo has to be praised highly. He is a famous figure among us now. Those guys in the street office next door are so envious that we have Li Jianguo. Hahaha!"
……
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
Let's go back to the courtyard at this time.
With the careful decoration of everyone, the courtyard can be said to be brand new.
There are lights and decorations everywhere.
In addition, the street office also specially sent a banner to celebrate the birthday, which is really quite impressive.
Seeing this situation.
The deaf old lady who usually doesn't go out much let Sha Zhu carry her around the courtyard for several laps, and she smiled all the time.
……
The night passed quickly.
With the rumbling sound of firecrackers, people on the whole street were awakened.
At this time, the tables in the courtyard were already full. The team in charge of the banquet food was busy in the courtyard. This birthday banquet started like this.
"Everybody line up, one by one!"
"Do not worry!"
"Take the birthday gifts and money and go to the third uncle to register."
In the backyard, there was a crowd of people. (To read the exciting novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)
In front of an eight-immortal table, Yi Zhonghai was smiling and loudly maintaining order.
At the eight-immortal table, the old lady was sitting upright in festive clothes, smiling from ear to ear.
At the side, the third uncle Yan Bugui was busy recording the birthday gifts and money given by everyone in the gift book.
"I wish the old lady good fortune and a long life!"
"Hey, okay!"[]
"I wish the old lady a long life and all the best!"
"Haha, you’re really good at talking. Then I’ll try my best and live to be a hundred years old!"
……
Everyone was giving gifts and congratulating the old lady.
Hearing these nice words, the old lady was already very happy.
Especially when she saw the birthday gifts and money on Yan Bugui's side, she was really excited.
These leeks are really good!
Obviously, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu had put a lot of pressure on everyone before.....
Every household in this courtyard started with a birthday gift of at least five yuan.
It can be seen that everyone was very generous this time.
"Liu Haizhong, ten yuan for birthday money and a bottle of wine as a birthday gift!"
"Liang Dayue, six yuan as birthday money and three pounds of cotton as birthday gift!"
"Xu Damao, ten yuan for your birthday money and a piece of bacon as a birthday gift!"
"Jia Dongxu, fifty cents for birthday money and a comb as a birthday gift!"
……
On the other side,
Yan Bugui recorded and loudly reported the amount of money given by each household.
This process was clearly ordered by Sha Zhu.
The main purpose was to put pressure on them.
If a family gave less, they would be considered stingy and lose face.
For example, Jia Dongxu's family was targeted.
"Yell, yell, yell, what are you yelling for? You have to read out the birthday money and gifts!"
At this time, Jia Dongxu, who had been lying in bed, had been carried out and was ready to have a birthday banquet together later.
Listening to Yan Bugui reading out the meager things from his family, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but curse in a low voice, his face extremely ugly.
This is too embarrassing!
But there is no way, who made his family really poor?
And soon , it was Li Jianguo's turn in the registration team.
For a moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but cast over, with expectations on their faces.
As a wealthy family in the courtyard, Li Jianguo didn't know how much birthday money he would give.
At this moment, the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu in the distance also looked over.
""Jianguo, how much more 0.40 yuan do you plan to give as birthday gift?"
Third uncle Yan Bugui asked with a smile, looking at Li Jianguo in front of him, and was ready to write.
Li Jianguo was also unambiguous.
He raised his sleeves and put a penny on the table.
Then he took out a slightly old clock from his pocket and put it on the table.
"It's all here"
"Old lady, I wish you a long life."
After that, Li Jianguo casually said something to the old lady beside him, and took Lou Xiao'e and Xiao Xin to the back.
At this time, the deaf old lady at the table had a very dark face.
And Yan Bugui, who was in charge of recording, was also a little dizzy.
After struggling for a while,
Yan Bugui finally wrote it down, and reported as usual.
"Li Jianguo, the birthday gift is one cent, and the birthday gift is a clock!"
