As soon as Sun Zhengguo stepped into the backyard, he smelled a faint odor. Needless to say, it must have been the old deaf man's doing.
So he quickly held his breath and hurried to Liu Haizhong's house.
Liu Haizhong, who was discussing matters at home, quickly stood up when he saw Sun Zhengguo approaching.
"Deputy Director Sun, the banquet is in the Intermediate People's Court, what brings you here...?"
That's just how Liu Haizhong is; he cares too much about how he's addressed, and Sun Zhengguo is too lazy to ask him to correct it.
"Second Uncle, since you've invited me to dinner, I can't go empty-handed. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."
As he spoke, Sun Zhengguo took out some money from his bag and handed it to Liu Haizhong.
"this……?"
Liu Haizhong hesitated, wondering whether to cut her hair back or not.
"Please accept it, Second Uncle. On this joyous occasion, how can I sit here and eat if you don't accept it?"
With this reason, Liu Haizhong reluctantly accepted the gift money.
Sun Zhengguo gave a 5 yuan red envelope today, which is not a small amount, but considering his status, it's not a lot either; it's just right.
After giving the money as a gift, Sun Zhengguo didn't chat much. He held his breath and left the backyard, heading to the middle courtyard.
"Jung-guk, how's the smell in the backyard? I was worried you wouldn't be able to come back!"
He had barely returned to the Intermediate People's Court and hadn't even settled into his seat when that idiot Zhu dared to tease him.
"Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can't," Sun Zhengguo smiled faintly, indicating that it was no big deal.
"I don't know how it tastes. Why don't you try it? I think it suits your style."
"Hehehe..."
"Brother, I think Zhengguo is right. How about I call you 'stinky brother' from now on?"
"Get out of here! Are you my sister or his sister? Why are you siding with outsiders?"
Sha Zhu said defiantly.
"..."
"..."
After joking around for a while, Sun Zhengguo thought that Sha Zhu was quite interesting. He was also someone who wouldn't let things go when he was in the right, and he was also a master of verbal sparring.
However, this was not the time for chatting, as guests had already arrived, and Liu Haizhong was at the door greeting them.
Sun Zhengguo was surprised to find that among the guests were several acquaintances.
For example, Section Chief Zhang of the technical department of the steel rolling mill, Director Chen of the forging workshop, ...
As for the other group leaders, class monitors, and so on? He wasn't very familiar with them.
Even so, Sun Zhengguo was still the most capable among this group of cadres.
Several cadres from the steel rolling mill, upon seeing Sun Zhengguo, immediately became familiar with him and took the initiative to greet him.
Sun Zhengguo responded politely to each question, showing no airs of a deputy director.
When the banquet officially began, there was no doubt that the head seat at the cadre table belonged to Sun Zhengguo. He had no choice but to sit there, and in the end, he could only reluctantly take the head seat.
Seeing this, Liu Haizhong silently gave himself a thumbs up; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
To be able to invite a deputy director like Sun Zhengguo, that shows how prestigious it is.
When he goes to work, he can brag about this for days and it will make those officials look at him with more respect.
Perhaps they might promote him out of respect for Sun Zhengguo.
As soon as the banquet began, the sound of children crying could be heard from time to time in the courtyard.
no way?
Adults can tolerate it and it will pass, but children can't stand it and make a fuss at home demanding meat, which of course results in a meal of bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat.
Although some people complained about the fact that the Liu family didn't invite anyone from the courtyard to their banquet, they could generally understand, since it was difficult to buy the food.
As for why Sun Zhengguo was invited?
Hey! Stop joking. The Liu family hired a deputy director, okay? If it weren't for that connection, do you think Liu Haizhong would have hired one?
Since some people can understand it, there must be others who cannot. The most typical example of this is Uncle Yan Bugui.
He was sitting in the room sulking, and even the cornbread in his hand didn't taste good.
"Honey, what do you think this fringe means? Are you still angry with me about the last meeting?"
"It can't be that bad, can it? Besides, it didn't succeed in the end." The third aunt put down her chopsticks and joined in to analyze the situation for Yan Bugui.
"If that's the case, then why did he invite Sun Zhengguo but not me? You know, I'm the third-in-command in this courtyard."
"This...this...?"
The three women stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.
"Oh dear! Dad, do you really not know, or are you just pretending? Sun Zhengguo is a deputy director, and you're just a teacher. Why should he invite you?"
The three women didn't dare to speak, but Yan Jiecheng, without any taboos, revealed the truth without hesitation.
"What? Without me as your teacher, what would you eat and drink? You heartless wretch, now you're starting to look down on your dad. If you're so capable, go live with him yourself."
Unwilling to admit the truth, Yan Bugui prepared to teach Yan Jiecheng a lesson with another fact.
Yan Jiecheng wanted to put up a fight, but he was not yet fully powerful, so he could only choose to keep quiet.
Yan Bugui was sulking in the front yard, while another person in the back yard was also sulking—the deaf old lady.
The deaf old lady has a sweet tooth; if it were in the past, she would have had the nerve to come to my door asking for some.
If all else fails, you can ask her godson, Yi Zhonghai, to go to her house and use moral blackmail.
However, in recent years, this approach has clearly become unworkable for various reasons.
Smelling this aroma today, and seeing a group of people enjoying themselves, the deaf old lady must be feeling resentful.
So, in order to get some food and drink, she came up with a terrible idea, I don't know what she was thinking.
No sooner said than done, the deaf old lady immediately put her idea into action.
She picked up the toilet, even lifting the lid off, before laboriously walking towards the central courtyard.
At this moment, the guests in the Central Court were happily eating, drinking, and chatting, completely unaware of the biohazard crisis they were about to encounter.
Just then, our protagonist—Alice the Deaf, trembling, carrying the golden liquid that had been fermenting for several days, walked through the corridor and arrived at the central courtyard.
As soon as the deaf old lady appeared, some people noticed something was wrong. Those with sharp noses had already smelled the unusual odor and quickly covered their noses.
Those who were slow to react were dumbfounded when they saw the deaf old lady carrying the Hunyuan Golden Bucket. They never expected such a thing to happen, and it was simply bad luck.
By the time Liu Haizhong realized what was happening, it was too late to stop it.
He stood up, his face ashen, and shouted loudly.
"You old deaf man, today is my son's wedding. Are you doing this on purpose? What exactly are you trying to do?"
After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he gave his second aunt a wink.
The second aunt understood immediately, rushed over, and reached out to grab the toilet.
"Grandma, you have trouble walking, let me help you."
But the deaf old lady's goal was to develop a stutter, and she hadn't achieved it yet, so how could she possibly give up?
Then, another dramatic scene unfolded on the scene: the two engaged in a battle to protect the toilet.
The outcome of this contest between the two was self-evident: the deaf old woman, due to old age and frailty, ultimately chose to give up.
Her letting go caused the second aunt to lose her balance and fall backward, toilet and all.
