093: Dinner at Sai Jinhua's house, toast to Ono
After the performance, everyone dispersed.
There are also people cooking in the cafeteria.
Every household took advantage of finishing work early today and went home to prepare some delicious food to celebrate the festival.
The main reason is that there is indeed a festive atmosphere today. It has never been so lively during the Chinese New Year before.
Sai Jinhua called out to Xu Ying:
"Sister Xu, I'll cook some delicious dishes and heat up some old wine. Can you and your family of three come over to our house for dinner tonight?"
Xu Ying had wanted to go back home, but it was too early to go home and she wouldn't be able to return to the space yacht. Staying in her own little mud house wasn't very interesting, so since Sai Jinhua had invited her so kindly, she didn't feel embarrassed and simply agreed.
"Okay, I'll trouble you to spend the money then."
"Why spend money? We're happy today, so we should drink some wine to celebrate! Oh, Widow Wang, don't go home to cook. Bring your Chuan'er and Xiaoyuan to our house to eat together. It will be more lively when there are more people!"
Widow Wang smiled and declined:
"Thank you for your concern, I won't go."
"Don't hesitate, just go when I tell you to!"
Widow Wang knew that Sai Jinhua was sincere and not just being polite, so she stopped refusing and simply agreed.
It was indeed rare to be so happy today. Usually, Widow Wang seldom interacted with others, and she almost never interacted with women of poor backgrounds like Sai Jinhua. However, after today's performance, everyone's relationship became much closer, and they were no longer so worried.
It was also a good opportunity to bring the two children over to liven up the atmosphere. Usually, the two children were stuck at home with her every day, which was quite pitiful.
After the two families agreed, Sai Jinhua and Lao Pu went back to prepare wine and food.
Their family has good living conditions, and Lao Pu is a cart driver. He travels everywhere and has more money than ordinary people.
Moreover, the people who drove carts in the company could often trade things on the black market because of the convenience of the carts, and occasionally help others do business.
You can make some profit from buying and selling. Over time, the profits will accumulate and become more abundant. You will be more comfortable at home and more generous in entertaining guests.
Xu Ying's family agreed to go out for dinner, and they couldn't go empty-handed, so they brought half a pot of grilled fish and a large plate of grilled shrimp from home.
Widow Wang did not go empty-handed either. Although her family was not well-off, she still packed ten eggs in a gourd ladle and brought them with her.
At night, when the moon rose, Sai Jinhua's house was crowded with people, including Sai Jinhua and Lao Pu, the three members of the Yu family, and Widow Wang and her two children.
That night, every household took advantage of the atmosphere, cooked some delicious dishes, and enjoyed themselves at home.
Even the educated youth gathered in the cafeteria for dinner, taking out their hidden delicious food and eating together.
Yu Jiahui suddenly thought of the Peking Opera master Hong Cheng. Thinking that Hong Cheng had no family here and did not get along with other educated youth, he might be alone, so he suggested inviting Hong Cheng to come and have a drink together.
Sai Jinhua was of course happy and urged Lao Pu to invite someone.
Normally, they would not dare to invite this Peking Opera master casually. Although he was a demoted cadre, a demoted cadre was still a cadre, and his demeanor was not comparable to that of an ordinary farmer.
Taking advantage of the excitement of everyone performing together today, Sai Jinhua dared to invite people.
Widow Wang quickly instructed her son to call for help.
Widow Wang's son Qin Xiaochuan went there quickly.
Not long after, Hong Cheng came over with half a bottle of wine.
Everyone sat on the kang, crowded together, men, women, young and old, filling the entire kang.
Sai Jinhua's house had never been so lively before, and the usually taciturn Old Pu also smiled for the first time.
Not only has Sai Jinhua's house never been so lively, but even Widow Wang and Hong Cheng have never been so lively since they arrived at the company.
It is lively not because there are so many people, but because everyone feels the long-lost atmosphere of home.
The table was filled with dishes. In addition to grilled fish and shrimp, Sai Jinhua also killed a big rooster, made a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a dish of peanuts and broad beans to go with the wine, and a large plate of scrambled eggs with shrimp paste.
Sai Jinhua also gave biscuits and fruit candies to three other children (including Yu Xiaoye).
Everyone drank and chatted together, the whole room was filled with the aroma of wine and meat, it was so lively!
After drinking, Peking Opera master Hong Cheng's face became more lively. Looking at Yu Xiaoye who was sitting behind Xu Ying, he said to Yu Jiahui with admiration:
"Brother Yu, your Xiaoye is really good. The little girl is smart and clever. You must train her well. She will have a great future."
Everyone turned their eyes to Yu Xiaoye again.
Yu Xiaoye suddenly became shy and smiled.
Sai Jinhua took a sip of wine and said:
"That's right, my daughter Xiaoye is so smart, she will definitely have a great future. Today, it is all thanks to Xiaoye that everyone is so happy. Come on, let's all have a drink to Xiaoye!"
Everyone raised their glasses again:
"Cheers to Ono!"
"Dry!"
However, not everyone in the company was so happy. There was one person who was very upset, and that person was Wu Yanping.
Wu Yanping was the only person in the company who did not finish watching the show. After her first yangko dance performance was well received by everyone, she could not help but leave.
In the distant woods, I could hear the laughter and noise from this side, which was even more irritating. I ran very far away before I was completely isolated from the noise from the company headquarters.
When we returned to the dormitory at night, the other female educated youth were all discussing this girl named Yu Xiaoye, saying that she was very funny, good at clapper talk, good at dancing, and most importantly, she was also very good at acting in dramas!
She is perfect in every way, how can she be so cute!
When Wu Yanping heard this, he felt as if countless sharp thorns were piercing his heart.
If she wasn't afraid of wild wolves lurking outside in the dark of night, she wouldn't be able to stay in this dormitory for even a second.
But that hateful Rao Li was still arrogant and deliberately said loudly:
"Oh, that little girl
The head is really adorable, how can it be so cute? I have never seen such a cute little girl, the acting is really good! "
Wu Yanping: Oh God, I wish I could be so angry that I die. I don’t want to live anymore. It’s so boring!
The next day, the five women in Yu Xiaoye's impromptu yangko team were given a resounding nickname:
Five golden flowers!
And Yu Xiaoye, a wild girl who fled from an unknown countryside, suddenly became the treasure of the entire company!
A few days after May Day, the company finally received this year's work clothes from the headquarters. It was a blue work cloth suit.
A blue lapel coat and blue straight pants.
Jia Song did what he said and made an exception by applying for a set of work clothes for each of the three members of the Yu family.
In this way, the people of the Yu family finally put on new clothes after wearing tattered cotton jackets for such a long time.
Although everyone in the company wore the same clothes regardless of style, the family was still very happy.
Especially Xu Ying.
She used to hate wearing the same clothes as others. Once she bought a piece of clothing, if she found someone else wearing the same thing, she would never wear it a second time.
But now, even if she wears the same clothes as everyone else, she doesn’t mind!
