The 1980s was a time of simplicity.

You don't have to go to the hotel for the banquet. You can borrow a table from the owner, a stool from the west, a fish from a friend, and a bottle of vinegar from a colleague.

The banquet of the Yang family was more ostentatious and large-scale, but of the same nature.

Yang Feng asked people to set tables from the township government, all the way down the road. The round table and square table still came from every household. When they were not enough, they borrowed the tables from the schools and units in front of them.

The guests are also carrying things. The people who deliver meat and fish are all recorded in the gift list. Live chicken and duck are the big gifts, and green onion, ginger and garlic are not too shameful.

The unit for the gift is five cents. If you don't bring anything, you'll get at least 5 points. It's normal to get a dime or two. Even if you get more than 50 cents, few people will get a dollar.

However, whether it's 50 cents or 50 cents per person, it's not enough to support the cost of banquet. Nowadays, the price of food is very expensive, tobacco and alcohol are more expensive, and the cost of a banquet is close to 10 yuan. Therefore, it's a pure loss to run wine in the 1980s, just the difference between the good and the bad.

It was because Yang Rui had given her family thousands of yuan that Rui's mother had the courage to hold such a grand banquet.

The first course of the banquet is carp, followed by two courses of meat, braised meat and button meat, followed by stir fried vegetables, tofu, mushrooms and other medium-sized dishes, and finally stir fried shredded potatoes, cold dishes and some soup for the big bellied man.

One table is ten dishes. In addition to stir fried dishes, the others are all made by Rui Ma and more than a dozen relatives' women in the past two days. When the time comes, they can all be steamed together with steamed bread.

Not long after Yang Shan came to the table, Yang Feng announced the opening of the banquet.

All kinds of meat and vegetables are served like water prices, which makes the main street of xizhaizi Township full of fragrance.

On this day, the Yang family held more than 200 seats.

In addition to relatives and friends, the whole staff of xizhaizi Township, as well as the militiamen who came to support, also sat on the table.

In fact, the militia Yang Feng invited are all employees of various units nearby. The concept of relatives and friends basically coincides with that of colleagues of relatives and friends. Because they are all in the same place, they are at least familiar with each other.

However, for Yang Rui, these people are completely unfamiliar.

But today's Yang Shan and Yang Feng are still very excited, constantly pulling Yang Rui to meet people.

Then, it's just drinking.

At the beginning, Yang Rui also wanted to try some skills to escape from drinking, but Wang Guohua, who came to help, couldn't see him. He grabbed his arm, pointed to the snake like banquet table in front of him, and asked, "I can escape the first day of junior high school, but I can't escape the fifteenth."

Yang Rui's eyes were hazy with tears. He looked up and drank the wine in the glass.

Before today, Yang Rui was not allowed to drink.

College entrance examination scores, but it seems to suddenly change his social position.

A steady stream of toasts, compliments and greetings made Yang Rui fall asleep before he finished a third of the way.

Wang Guohua and Cao Baoming carried him back alternately. I was also relieved.

"It's over at last." Wang Guohua rubs his shoulders.

Cao Baoming also moved his shoulders and said with a smile, "if you don't exercise, Yang Rui's muscles are trained."

"How come the more you exercise, the heavier it gets?"

"Of course, his muscles are heavy. He ate so much beef that he didn't have it all on his arms and legs?" Cao Baoming puffed up his biceps and showed it.

"And then we have to carry it when we get drunk. But there are enough people here today. "

"Everybody's happy."

"Yes, I don't know if I can get together so happily in the future." Wang Guohua has a little emotion.

Cao Baoming raised his eyebrow and asked, "what you are reporting is not Beijing?"

"Of course."

"You changed your mind?"

"No

"Yang Rui chose it for you?"

"Nonsense, I know Peking University and Tsinghua University are in Beijing. Can I apply for it?"

"Since it's Yang Rui who reported it for you, what are you worried about? Do you need to mourn spring and hurt autumn?"

"Oh, have you used this word in your composition?" Wang Guohua tut tut has a voice: "it's good to use..."

Cao Baoming couldn't help slapping him, then said: "don't chirp, go get a fish to eat, I'm not full."

"Where can I find fish? I might as well catch one for you.""Go to the kitchen. There must be. Hurry up. I'm big and conspicuous. I'm sorry to be seen."

"I'm sorry, too." Wang Guohua said, but he left. Among the students, Wang Guohua has always been a good student who is willing to pay.

Yang Rui was drunk, but the banquet was not affected at all.

Men rarely have the chance to drink. When they are full, they begin to find people to drink. Women also join in the fun and chat.

For all of you, social activities are the main entertainment activities. The story of being able to stay at home alone and be happy is something that people have never imagined at this time.

Zhao dannian is one of the few men who don't drink much.

He's old enough to drink if he wants to, and he won't drink if he doesn't.

However, Zhao dannian has no affectation today. On the contrary, he is saving his drink and looking for the officials in charge of education with cups.

Before that, Zhao dannian, relying on his own qualifications, never paid attention to the provincial and municipal level education institutions. It was too far away and useless to pay attention to them. Xibao middle school, a small township middle school, is qualified to contact the provincial and municipal level education institutions.

Zhao dannian is a practical person. Of course, he is an old and young pioneer born in the red guards. However, in the provincial and municipal governments, there are many members of the Communist Youth League who came from the Eighth Route Army. He can't make a show, and no one will look at his face and give more money to Xibao middle school. In this way, Zhao dannian is too lazy to get along with others and drink with them.

Today is different from the past, a national champion, not only pushed Yang Rui to the forefront of the wave, but also pushed Xibao middle school to the peak.

Zhao dannian didn't turn twice, but he met a familiar person to say hello.

Before he remembered the name of the other party, the other party called "president Zhao" first and raised his glass to him actively, saying: "I'd like to have a cup of respect for Mr. Zhao. The golden phoenix flying out of the mountain nest, the number one scholar in the country, has to have a drink if you bump into Mr. Zhao's hand."

"It's my luck, and it's also our luck in Xixian and Nanhu." Zhao dannian brought the cup with a smile.

"Well said." Those sitting in front of him were all from the education system. Knowing who Zhao dannian was, they all gathered around and clinked cups one by one.

After a while, Zhao dannian got the promise to transform the campus. Not only that, but also some people gave him advice and said, "you have to start the brand of Xibao middle school. It's not only the brand of Xibao Town, the brand of Xixian County, the brand of Nanhu City, but also the brand of Hedong province. If such a good school wants to be bigger and stronger, it must first do a good job in infrastructure construction. You should talk to Director Huang and use this reason to have a teaching building. "

"Teaching building? How much will that cost? "

"You don't care how much it costs, you just say I want a teaching building. Starting from the fourth floor, it depends on whether he gives it or not. If he doesn't give it, it will have three floors. If he can't give it, it will have two floors. You've got a national champion school. It's not the city champion, it's not the provincial champion, it's the national champion. He won't give you what you want."

Zhao dannian giggled: "the first time in the country is just like this. I can't give the number one in the country in the future."

"That's why we have to take advantage of the heat, isn't it..."

Zhao dannian listened, also felt reasonable, unconsciously nodded, thought: no matter how much the school can be expanded, it depends on how much, the best in addition to infrastructure, but also recruit some teachers, Liu Kang this to get away with the best.

Mentioning Liu Kang, Zhao dannian was afraid. If we had listened to Liu Kang's suggestion on that day, the students' grades of Xibao middle school would be quite different now. Perhaps, the dividend brought by Yang Rui's national champion may be offset by serious miscalculation.

In Zhao dannian's eyes, a teacher like Liu Kang has neither level nor self-knowledge. Even if he can't be expelled, he should put his life in a corner. As for the realistic problems such as Liu Kang's youth, Zhao dannian doesn't even bother to think about it.

The banquet began at noon and continued into the evening.

Most of the guests who stay in the evening are drinkers and helpers. At noon, the guests leave to clean up the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs for the Yang family.

In the next few days, Ruima's main job will be how to return a large number of tables, chairs and tableware.

Of course, there are also many other activities loved by students and parents.
