Soon, people who came to the banquet arrived in the central courtyard one after another.
Seeing that everyone was present, Sha Zhu waved his hand and began to serve the dishes.
"Dear leaders, relatives, friends, and neighbors, I am the dumbest person and I don't know how to say nice things. Please enjoy your meals and drinks. Please forgive me for any inadequacy of my hospitality."
When the dishes started to be served, Sha Zhu came out with some wine and toasted a few times, then went back into the house to prepare the meal.
Hosting a banquet for a child is different from a wedding banquet. There are not so many rules and procedures. Except for a few relatives from Liu Lan's mother's side, everyone else came for the banquet.
Otherwise, why did only a few people respond to him when he went out to toast just now?
It’s because it’s stuck to the food on the table!
Even a respectable man like Director Yang was reluctant to put down his chopsticks at this moment.
But there are exceptions to everything. Xu Damao was not attracted by the food. Instead, he opened a bottle of white wine and started drinking one big and three small ones.
He hadn't taken many bites of the food before he drank half a bottle of white wine.
It must be said that Xu Damao is a heavy drinker. Ku Ku just pours him wine, but he gets drunk quickly. He is already dizzy before the hot dishes are served.
Liu Haizhong was worried that Xu Damao would get drunk and cause trouble, leaving a bad impression on the leaders, so he put the teapot in front of Xu Damao.
"Da Mao, stop drinking and drink more tea."
Xu Damao patted his dizzy head and replied with a dazed look: "Second Master... Don't worry, I'm fine."
After saying that, he picked up the teapot and started drinking it.
Such a bold way of drinking made Liu Haizhong frown.
If I had known Xu Damao would behave like this today, I should not have let him sit at this table. He didn't even have the chance to talk to the leaders.
"Twice-cooked pork and scrambled eggs are served. Oh, this twice-cooked pork looks delicious."
"The big elbow is also here. I'm so greedy."
"Hey, the damn Xu Damao got drunk so early?"
Jia Zhang, who was still prying through the crack in the door, excitedly shouted to Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu, "If he gets drunk and mad later, just give that Section Chief Lu a kick, and Section Chief Lu will arrest him!"
Qin Huairu sighed speechlessly.
From the time the banquet started until now, Jia Zhang had been leaning against the crack in the door and looking out.
If you really want to have a feast, why not just give your share and go for a meal? Is it necessary to list all the dishes here? It's really annoying.
After about half an hour, the pace of the banquet gradually slowed down and some people began to chat while eating.
Xu Damao drank another cup and his mind became even more confused. In order to stay awake, he could only drink tea.
I didn't eat much of the food and just drank some water.
"Leaders... continue drinking, I'm going to go... relax first."
Xu Damao, who felt like his bladder was about to explode, finally decided to get up.
In his daze, he thought he was having dinner in a restaurant outside. He staggered a few steps towards the wall, trying to untie his belt with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Xu Damao, what are you doing!"
"What the hell do you want to do!"
Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind the wall, which scared Xu Damao so much that he shuddered.
When I opened my eyes again, there was no wall in front of me!
This is clearly the Jia family’s door!
As luck would have it, he aimed it at the crack in the door of the Jia family and was almost pouring it.
"Squeak~~"
The door was opened, and Jia Zhang cursed angrily: "Damn Xu Damao, what do you want to do!"
Damn it!
Xu Damao, who was frightened awake, shook his head and quickly tied his belt.
Good job!
Fortunately, I haven't unbuttoned my clothes yet, otherwise things would be very serious.
Pouring water on Jia Zhang's face is no big deal.
If Jia Zhang sues me for being a hooligan, I’ll forget about it!
"Xu Damao, speak up! Don't think you can fool people by pretending to be stupid!"
Jia Zhang's saliva was flying everywhere, spraying all over Xu Damao's face.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Damao felt that Jia Zhang's breath was so bad that it made him want to vomit.
"What's going on? Xu Damao, didn't you go to the bathroom?"
With the presence of leaders from the street office and the steel rolling mill, Liu Haizhong became more active than usual, fearing that the leaders did not know that he was the boss in charge of the courtyard.
"Um... I just wanted to ask Brother Dongxu if he has eaten!" Xu Damao quickly made up a ridiculous excuse.
There's no way. The incident happened too suddenly. I can't say that I almost poured water on Jia Zhang's face, right?
That would be a big deal!
Let’s not talk about whether Jia Zhang will let him go. Will Xu Damao still have a reputation in Siheyuan in the future?
"You come and ask, has Jia Dongxu eaten?" Liu Haizhong didn't believe a word of it.
Everyone knows that Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu are almost becoming mortal enemies. No matter who quarrels with the Jia family, Xu Damao has to jump out to help.
Does he care whether Jia Dongxu has eaten?
"Oh!" Xu Damao said with his neck stiff, "I can't care about Brother Dongxu!"
"All the neighbors in the courtyard came to the feast, except for the Jia family. I have to come and ask them!"
Liu Haizhong sighed and said, "They didn't bring any gifts, so they definitely can't come to the banquet."
"Go to the public toilet and pee, or you'll wet your pants later!"
After saying that, Liu Haizhong waved at Xu Damao, signaling him to leave quickly.
Although it was unclear what had just happened, from Jia Zhang's angry shouts, it was clear that Xu Damao must have caused trouble.
There are leaders present today, and he doesn't want Xu Damao and Jia Zhang to have a quarrel.
Isn't this a disgrace to Siheyuan?
Um??
Why care whether Dongxu ate or not?
What nonsense is Xu Damao talking about!
Jia Zhang, who had just reacted, grabbed Xu Damao's clothes and said, "Don't leave!"
"You just said you would help our family with the gift money, but now you want to default on it? Xu Damao, if you don't pay the gift money today, I will never forgive you!"
After that, Jia Zhang added: "It's not enough to just give a gift. You just said you would give Dongxu ten yuan so that he could buy some ribs to replenish his body."
????
WTF? ?
Jia Zhang, you are taking advantage of the situation!
Xu Damao's eyes were as wide as those of his peers, and he understood that it was Jia Zhang who was threatening him.
If you don't give her money, she will start making trouble and tell everyone what she just did.
No, you are a woman, how dare you say that someone almost poured water on your face?
hiss!!!
Considering all the weird things that Jia Zhang had done in the courtyard, Xu Damao felt that this was very likely.
There is nothing that Jia Zhang can't do.
If there was, it just didn't happen.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Damao smiled heartily: "How is it possible? Everyone in the courtyard knows that I, Xu Damao, am a man of my word. I can never deny my debts!"
"I have exactly ten dollars here. Take it first. I'll get your share of the money when we're done."
"It's such a lively day, I can't let my brother Dongxu just sit there and watch! Hahahahaha!"
Then he took out the banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Jia Zhang's hand.
