The two returned home, but Ma Tiejun did not explain the matter. He asked Ye Zhiqiu to stay at his house for dinner before going back.
It is also to wait for all the family members to come back, so that we can discuss the possibility of this matter together and see how to crack this conspiracy!
Ye Zhiqiu didn't care. After all, his family knew that he was going to the factory, so he helped his master get familiar with the kitchen and prepare dishes for the guests.
I also said that I would go and get the things to He Yongjun later, so my family wouldn't worry if I didn't go home for dinner.
When Zhuang Xiaoli saw the two men coming back, she asked curiously, "Tiejun, why did you rush off to make a phone call? What happened?"
Chen Xiaojuan was with her two-year-old granddaughter Ma Jingyi, and was also looking at the two with curiosity.
Ma Tiejun was having a headache, so he told the two of them about the possibility proposed by Ye Zhiqiu.
The two women thought for a while, and Zhuang Xiaoli's eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly said to them, "I remember there were quite a lot of applications. Now many street offices want to open large canteens to make it more convenient for citizens to eat.
Our leader said that it is a good thing to set up a large canteen, but each place should adapt to local conditions. For places where there are mostly street workers, they need to be counted before they can apply.
So it's right to support the large dining hall. Since we can't be sure how many guests will come, why don't we follow their example and have individual meals and dishes, instead of having a banquet at a table?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was very familiar. Then he thought, isn’t this just fast food?
Ma Tiejun's eyes lit up after hearing this! That's right, since I don't know how to run my own four businesses, I might as well not care about you so much!
They discussed it together, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt it was a good idea! It was nothing more than changing to a separate dining system and supporting the large dining hall policy. The people behind it couldn't possibly attack them, right?
It was not until five o'clock that the people who had gone out to deliver the invitations came back one after another.
Chen Xiaojuan and Zhuang Xiaoli went to cook, while Ye Zhiqiu and Ma Tiejun explained to everyone together, and their mouths were dry from talking.
After discussing for a while, everyone felt that it was better to believe it than to be careless and let problems arise.
He Dashan said to Ma Ziqiang with a serious face: "Old Ma, I would rather become a joke discussed secretly than have these problems really happen!
Let's just settle it like this. Please help Xiaoye's chefs to change the dishes and change the group dining system to individual dining!"
Ma Ziqiang nodded and replied, "I think so too. After dinner, let's go and explain the situation to the Mu and Sun families!"
And there's one most important thing I have to find out tomorrow. Who informed the twenty or so distant relatives who were going to attend the wedding banquet?
Children from such families are very sensitive to these things, so when He Guanjun heard the two people who were in charge of making the final decision say this, he immediately began to arrange the work.
"Yongjun, come with me later to borrow some tableware. We'll try to get a batch of similar plates to serve the guests!
Tiejun, you and Banghua are responsible for borrowing tables and stools. The octagonal table is no longer suitable. Try to get as many rectangular tables as possible.
"Xiao Ye, I'm going to trouble you. Go to your master tonight and tell him about the changes here. I'm going to trouble you for a bit this time!"
Everyone agreed, and Ye Zhiqiu was no exception. He nodded and agreed to take on the task.
Although there were more than twenty guests, and it looked like they had opened two more tables, they were actually worried that more guests would come.
He Yongjun was quite depressed. Why was there so much trouble in getting married? But he could only bear it. Born into a family like this, there were more things to deal with than ordinary people.
Ma Ziqiang pulled Ye Zhiqiu aside and said, "Xiao Ye, no matter what happened this time, your uncle must thank you very much! We would also like to trouble you to convey our apologies to your two masters on our behalf. A good banquet turned into a big pot of food."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and consoled him, "Don't say that, it's just a small matter! My masters will definitely understand, it's just a matter of adjusting the dishes.
Since we have more guests now, I can get you 25 pounds of pork instead of 15 pounds! Everything is based on the smooth marriage of my two brothers!"
Ma Banghua also came over, patted Ye Zhiqiu on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Brother, I won't say any more polite words. Just call me if you have any problems in the future!"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Okay, there's no need for us brothers to be polite! But I have a word of advice, don't arrange so many things for Xiaomei tomorrow.
Just let her help me pour tea. I'm worried that she might be speechless again with so many unfamiliar guests."
Chen Xiaojuan just came out with steamed buns. When she heard Ye Zhiqiu's words, she said happily, "Great! Xiaoye is such a thoughtful person. If you and Xiaomei get together, I'll become your aunt. Just thinking about it makes me happy!"
Ma Ziqiang smiled and said, "Haha, Xiaoye, this is really good. Now you know how to take care of Xiaomei! Everyone is optimistic about you. Bring Xiaomei home soon. Then we can be considered as even closer relatives!"
Ma Banghua said happily: "Yes, that's right. This way I will become your cousin! I feel like I can order you around to do things with a legitimate reason!"
Everyone laughed and teased Ye Zhiqiu, which helped dispel the sudden gloom.
Ye Zhiqiu was quite thick-skinned and was smiling all the time. No matter how they teased him, he did not show any embarrassment on his face.
Such ridicule, to put it bluntly, would happen to any girl if he married her! Besides, the people of the He and Ma families were not bad. At least he had already passed the test with these relatives of the Feng family!
Because Feng Xiaomei's father, Feng Yuanzheng, had severed ties with his family, and this was done under the witness of the organization, the alimony was paid in full in one lump sum.
Seeing his daughter being harmed like this by his family, he felt both guilty and helpless! Although he knew that his family favored boys over girls, he never thought that they would treat his own daughter like this.
You know, his family spent a lot of money he sent back to them! In view of this, he made up his mind to sever ties with them.
He was very worried because he worked in a secret unit for a long time and could not go home for many days. He was afraid that these family members would come to the house and bully the mother and daughter.
So Feng Yuanzheng applied to the organization, and after layers of investigation, his application was approved.
At the same time, in order to ensure that Feng Xiaomei had someone to take care of her, the organization arranged for Chen Yuqing, who was in the army, to transfer directly back to Shougang so that she could work with peace of mind and take good care of her children.
Of course, Feng Xiaomei used to live near Shougang. She moved to Zhongguancun last year to make it easier for her to get to school. Chen Yuqing herself has to commute to get off work every day, which takes over two hours on the bus.
However, Chen Yuqing was already preparing to transfer her job and had written a letter to Feng Yuanzheng, asking if he could ask his superiors to help her transfer back to a nearby job so that she wouldn't have to commute so long to and from get off work.
