Chapter 99 Touched
The slum was decorated with lights and there were several oversized banners hanging there.
They are all written in black on a red background, and you can tell from the handwriting that they were written by Yan Jingshu.
"Congratulations to Tang Xueli for winning the national top prize. You have made a great success with just one move. Congratulations!"
"There is a bright future ahead! Let's realize our ambitions!"
"Warm congratulations to Tang Xueli for being admitted to the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine!"
"Genius Tang Xueli, the star of literature descended to earth!"
"The light of the compound, the light of the capital, the light of all mankind!"
…
Tang Xueli couldn't bear to watch it. It was such a mess, each one more outrageous than the last.
She raised her eyes to look at Yan Jingshu and said, "Your handwriting is so powerful that it can be seen through the back of the paper."
"No, I think it's very good." Yan Jingshu was still very satisfied.
Tang Xueli asked, "You didn't write the lyrics, did you?"
"No." Yan Jingshu smiled and said, "It was all Song Yanran's idea. She spent the whole afternoon thinking about these banners."
He thought it was quite interesting. If he were asked to think about it, he could only write a serious congratulatory speech and would definitely not be able to think of a funnier sentence than the one he had now.
When Song Yanran saw someone coming to the door, she immediately ran over excitedly, "Our protagonist is here, let's applaud."
She took the lead in quacking, and the others followed suit and applauded.
There were three large tables in the yard, and each table was full.
Why are there so many people?
Looking closely, I saw that one table was occupied by neighbors from the slum, one table was occupied by classmates from school, and the other table was occupied by unexpected people.
Coach He, Wang Dadao, the old man selling popsicles whom I met when I was setting up a stall, Sister Fen who often patronized his business, my mother’s good friend Jiang Hongmei, and Lao Yang, the manager of Dongda Market.
This group of people, young and old, all cooperated very well and clapped enthusiastically.
Song Yanran is really good at organizing things!
"Every table has a seat reserved for you. Please sit down one by one. Don't neglect any table. These are all your relatives and friends!"
"Which table are you sitting at?" Tang Xueli asked curiously.
"How can I sit still?" Song Yanran rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll serve you, so you don't have to worry about me!"
She went to the countryside and hired two cooks to cook.
I'm busy in the kitchen right now.
Tang Xueli leaned over to take a look and saw two middle-aged ladies wearing headscarves and with simple faces.
"They often prepare rural banquets and have experience. I have tasted the dishes and they taste good." It was obvious that Song Yanran put a lot of thought and effort into it.
Not long after receiving her transcript, Tang Xueli knew that she was the top scorer in science in the country.
She was very happy, but didn't take it too seriously.
I just wanted to treat everyone to a meal at Liming Hotel and have a simple celebration.
I never expected to have such a big party.
However, I still feel indescribably happy to see so many people coming.
"Thank you." Tang Xueli looked at Song Yanran gratefully.
It may seem like just a meal, but a lot of work needs to be done inside and outside, so it must be very hard work.
"Don't be so polite to me." Song Yanran glanced at the time and said, "It's time. Let's set off the firecrackers first, and then we can eat in peace."
Tang Xueli: "..."
Why do we still need to set off firecrackers?
Yan Jingshu leaned close to her ear and explained with a smile: "Song Yanran arranged the process herself."
Tang Xueli nodded: "Okay."
She thought it was just a string of firecrackers that would take at most a minute to set off, but...
Are you going to the factory for wholesale?
"How many do you want to put in?" Tang Xueli asked Song Yanran.
Song Yanran looked as if she was asking a stupid question and said, "Of course we should let them go!"
Tang Xueli was shocked and asked, "Let them all go?"
Song Yanran seemed like an old acquaintance in this slum, and called on Liu Guanglei and Zhao Changjiang for help.
"Lei Zige, Uncle Zhao, you two should walk over there for a while."
She also called Tang Xueli's classmates, "Chengshi, Xiu'er, Daju, the three of you go to the opposite side, under that tree, and keep some distance, at least two meters apart."
Tang Xueli couldn't help but want to laugh. She had been classmates with Tan Chengshi, Huang Xiu and Liu Zhengju for a year, but she had never called them so intimately.
People who don’t know would think that Song Yanran is also a student in Class 1, Grade 3!
Song Yanran muttered that she was still short of one person. She turned around and saw Lao Yang, then waved her hand, "Lao Yang, please help me order one! It's such an honor, and you can't be left out."
Tang Xueli: "..."
Being able to be so familiar with people is probably a kind of talent.
Old Yang walked over with a smile, took a string of firecrackers, and went to the place designated by Song Yanran.
Yan Jingshu also took his position.
Everyone was given clear arrangements, but no one was unhappy and everyone had a smile on their face.
The grand event attracted many people from nearby, and a large group of children flocked to the scene.
Song Yanran distributed candies to the children, then shouted with a loudspeaker, "Adults, please keep an eye on the children around you. Don't let the firecrackers hit the children. The noise will be very loud, so if you are scared, cover your ears now."
Tang Xueli was stunned.
Even the speakers are ready...
What kind of organizational ability is this!
All the major units and companies are rushing to recruit people.
Song Yanran is definitely a treasure employee.
"I'll say one, two, three, and you guys light the fire together. Do you hear me?"
Song Yanran paused and shouted, "One, two, three! Ignite!"
Tang Xueli: "..."
It sounds like a formal launch of a spacecraft.
In fact, it was just setting off a few firecrackers.
The fuse was ignited at the same time.
After a few seconds of silence, crackling sounds pierced the sky.
The whole street was filled with the smell of firecrackers, which is the special smell of sulfur dioxide mixed with burning paper.
Tang Xueli suddenly felt a little sad. Maybe it was because the scene was too unexpected and too shocking. Maybe it was because the sound of the firecrackers was too loud and the smell of firecrackers was too strong, which caused too much sensory stimulation to people...
Maybe, I was just simply touched.
For a moment, she wanted to cry.
But just when tears were about to well up in her eyes, Song Yanran appeared out of nowhere, hugged Tang Xueli's neck, and said happily: "Sister Xueli, these firecrackers are quite spectacular! Don't they look like those series of farts, very impressive!"
Tang Xueli: "..."
The urge to cry suddenly disappeared.
The food was served one after another, and Dahuang got two big fragrant bones.
Song Yanran was already very familiar with the structure of the slum. She stared at the west room for a while and was ready to make a move.
Tang Xueli looked at her and said, "How about giving you a suggestion?"
Song Yanran waved her hand and said, "Speak!"
"It's better not to get into the garbage dump. It'll attract flies all over you. It's unnecessary."
Tang Xueli didn't want Song Yanran to have too much contact with Tang Limei.
Song Yanran is a sunflower, always facing the sun, living brightly, blooming freely, full of passion and vitality.
It should not be polluted by gutter garbage like Tang Limei.
Song Yanran was very hesitant. In the past few days, she had heard Liu Guanglei stammering and talking a lot about Tang Limei.
The more I listened, the angrier I got.
I just want to find an opportunity to punish this wicked guy.
But... since Tang Xueli suggested this, she couldn't just ignore it.
"Then let's do this." Song Yanran said, "As long as Tang Limei doesn't take the initiative to provoke us, I won't care about her. Today is a happy day, and I don't want to cause an ugly scene."
"Yeah." Tang Xueli nodded.
It is reasonable that I will not offend others if they do not offend me.
Tang Xueli had just persuaded Song Yanran a second ago, thinking that Tang Limei would not come out to cause trouble at this time.
In the end, she still overestimated Tang Limei.
