Xu Damao blushed with embarrassment, but had no choice but to bite the bullet, took the cigarette, and then gave it to everyone.
After distributing the cigarettes, there was still some left. Xu Damao was about to return it to Jiang Ping'an when he saw him smiling and waving:
"You can smoke it yourself. By the way, if you are interested, take two more packs and help me distribute it to the people in the courtyard."
After all, he is getting married today, but he can't make people unhappy.
Besides, the leaders are also watching. If Xu Damao is really unable to step down, it will appear that he is small.
Xu Damao glanced at Jiang Ping'an gratefully, knowing that he was trying to save him and give him an excuse to leave.
So he took two more packs of cigarettes, didn't want to stay any longer, apologized to everyone, and backed out.
At this time, Liu Haizhong stepped in, bowed his head and bowed to everyone, and said, "Hi, leaders, and Director Jiang!"
"Director Jiang, although we still have more time, can we set up the tables and benches first?"
Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled and said, "Second uncle is interested, then you will take the lead and help arrange it!"
Chapter 566 Xu Yueling secretly hurt herself
Six tables of banquets.
There are two tables in the living room, and the factory leaders and city leaders are sitting in the room.
The other four tables can only be placed in the courtyard.
There is no rush for the ones in the living room, but the ones in the courtyard can be placed first.
Liu Haizhong came out of the living room, met Yan Bugui head-on, and said beamingly:
"Old Yan, there are four tables to be set up in the yard, and I donate the tables and benches from your house."
"No problem, Ping An greeted me earlier." Yan Bugui smiled.
After looking at him a few times, he asked curiously again: "You are so happy, what good thing happened to you?"
"Hehe, it's nothing. I'm happy to be able to help Director Shang Jiang." Liu Haizhong said happily.
He showed his face in front of so many leaders just now, and everyone knew that he was the second uncle in the courtyard. How could he not be happy?
Yan Bugui didn't quite believe what he said, but didn't ask any more questions.
Called a few of his own boys, and went home to move the table and benches.
Liu Guangqi who was waiting came up and asked, "Dad, why are you so happy?"
"Hehe, Director Jiang asked me to take the lead in arranging the tables and benches." Liu Haizhong said with a smile.
"If I hang out in front of the leaders a few more times, won't they remember me?"
Liu Guangqi smiled and said, "Let's do the work first, and don't think too much about other things."
He just obeyed his father's ignorant strength, and felt tired just watching it.
Liu Haizhong led people to set up tables and benches, and the people sitting around Jiang Ping'an's house reluctantly dispersed.
Jiang Ping'an didn't invite guests when he got married, so it would be nice to come over for some snacks in the afternoon, and it would be ridiculous to sit by the side.
After a moment of disgrace, only people from the Qin family and some helpers were left in the yard.
Xu Damao distributed cigarettes to everyone in the yard and pushed his bicycle home.
Xu Ning'an, Tan Yali, and Xu Yueling also came over in the afternoon and were packing things at home.
"Two bottles of wine, two cigarettes, and a catty of tea leaves are all within reach." Xu Ningan mused.
These things were prepared last year, and Xu Ningan begged many people to buy them.
Tan Yali glanced at Xu Yueling, and sighed softly: "Our family, Yueling, is not blessed."
"Mom, why are you talking about me again?" Xu Yueling complained, her nose was sore and she wanted to cry.
If he hadn't rejected Jiang Ping'an because of shyness, he would have married him now.
Over the years, she has been approaching Jiang Pingan a lot, but Jiang Pingan has never accepted the offer, and there is nothing she can do about it.
You can't lose your face, run to his bed, break it open and give it to him, right?
Even if she is willing, Jiang Pingan must be willing!
Xu Ning'an frowned and sighed: "I don't blame your mother for talking about you, you are so safe, young man!"
Although it doesn't help to say this now, he and Tan Yali still feel pity.
Xu Damao came in with the car, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you talking about? Everyone is unhappy."
"Speaking of your sister, you are stupid and missed peace." Tan Yali said depressedly.
Xu Damao put the car in the corner, frowned and said, "Yue Ling is not bad, and I will definitely marry someone better in the future."
"Jiang Ping'an is not the only good man in the world, so I resent you for trying to curry favor with Jiang Ping'an."
Xu Ningan scolded: "Bullshit, with Jiang Ping'an's good conditions, it's hard to find with a lantern!"
Suddenly thinking of something, he frowned and said, "Could it be that your poor performance these years has hurt your sister?"
"Huh? Don't say it, it's really possible, Da Mao is too out of tune!" Tan Yali suddenly said.
Xu Damao almost vomited blood, and shouted: "Everything is blamed on me, are you still polite?"
"Why are you in a hurry? Even if it's because of you, it's too late to say anything now!" Xu Ningan said angrily.
Xu Yueling had tears in her eyes, sniffed her nose, choked up and said, "Dad, Mom, stop talking."
"It's me who didn't live up to it, so don't blame my brother, it hasn't been easy for him these years."
Xu Damao's expression softened slightly, and he said, "Yue Ling is still sensible."
"You graduated this year and started working. You are not too old. Don't worry about getting married. You can always find someone you want."
Xu Yueling is studying in a technical secondary school, and she is assigned and has a proper job.
She is beautiful, has an urban household registration, and has a job, so she doesn't have to worry about finding someone with good conditions.
Xu Yueling wiped away her tears, ran to the bedroom without saying a word, threw herself on the bed and sobbed.
Xu Damao said it easily, but the key is that Xu Yueling fell in love with Jiang Ping'an very early on.
As the years go by, that hazy feeling is like old wine in a cellar, getting deeper and richer.
So Jiang Ping'an married someone else, can she not be sad?
However, she had nowhere to say that she was suffering in her heart, so she could only hold it in her heart, not daring to show it.
She didn't even dare to confess to Jiang Pingan. It's not like she couldn't feel Jiang Pingan's alienation from her all these years.
So she regretted it very much. Why was he scared away just because he grew up?
Thinking of that picture now, not only was she not frightened, but she often recalled it and wanted to see it again.
That...although it's a little ugly, but it's really infatuating, and it makes her face panic.
……
Jiang Ping'an's house was festive and lively.
The smell of food wafting from the kitchen makes people salivate.
Just talking and laughing, Yan Jiecheng ran from outside and said to Jiang Pingan:
"Three jeeps came outside, there should be leaders coming over."
Upon hearing the words, Factory Manager Yang got up and said with a smile:
"Sitting for a long time, my waist is sore, let's go out together to meet him!"
Needless to say, the cadres from the urban area must have come.
He is on the same level as the opponent, and he usually has a lot of dealings with him.
In addition, he is the witness of Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru's marriage today, so he is half of the master.
So it's not a loss of status to meet them.
Deputy Factory Manager Li also got up and said with a smile: "It's good to exercise with the factory manager."
The other cadres also got up and agreed, and even Director Yang went to greet him, and they were no exception.
Jiang Ping'an told Yan Jiecheng, "I'll trouble you to light some firecrackers."
"Hehe, don't bother, I'll order it right away." Yan Jiecheng said with a smile, turned around and ran out.
The sound of firecrackers was deafening, and Jiang Ping'an followed Factory Manager Yang out of the yard to meet the city leaders.
Three cars, eight people got off from above, none of them brought a secretary, all of them were high-ranking leaders.
"There's no need to be so grand, we're a bit overwhelming!"
The city leader got out of the car, patted Jiang Ping'an and said with a smile.
Then he shook hands with director Yang and other leaders, and Jiang Pingan took the opportunity to say to Yan Xiecheng:
"Go to the kitchen and tell Nanyi that there will be an extra banquet for the leading driver."
Yan Jiecheng responded, and hurried to find Nanyi.
After the leaders finished greeting each other, Jiang Ping'an led the way and led them to the living room.
In the kitchen, Yan Jiecheng talked to Nanyi, and Nanyi smiled and said:
"Just add another table, good things come in pairs, there are three chefs here today, so there's not enough time!"
At this moment, Liu Hongchang and He Yuzhu also came to help, and they all showed their unique skills.
Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "You guys are busy, I'll go out and talk to the second uncle first."
"Let him arrange for someone to move two more tables and benches to put them on. It is estimated that the wedding will start soon."
Chapter 567 Qin Jingmeng's exhortation, hold a wedding
in the bedroom.
"Hearing this movement, it seems that another big man is coming?"
Qin Jingmeng's eyes were clear and bright, full of water, and he said with a smile.
Qin Jingru thought for a while, and guessed: "It should be the leaders of the city."
After recovering, he suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Qin Jingmeng's delicate face, and sighed softly:
"Sister! You shouldn't have married Brother Zhang in the first place. With your looks, it's easy to marry a high-ranking son!"
The corners of Qin Jingmeng's mouth hooked slightly, he took her hands, and said with a smile:
"What nonsense, I have been married to your brother-in-law for nearly ten years, and we have two children, can we still go back on our word?"
"It's you, after marrying Ping An, you have to live an honest life. It's hard to find a man with such good conditions as him."
Qin Jingru nodded, giggled, and asked again:
"My cousin invited you to her house just now, why don't you go?"
Qin Huairu was thinking about Jiang Ping'an's order, and took the chickens and ducks in the room to the kitchen.
When they came over, they casually invited Qin Jingru's mother, sister and sister-in-law to her house to play.
Qin Jingru's mother and sister-in-law really wanted to see it, so they agreed to go.
But Qin Jingmeng said he wanted to talk to his sister, so he didn't go.
"Why go to her house? She has a lot of eyes and doesn't want to deal with her too much." Qin Jingmeng wrinkled his nose and said.
"You don't know, when I got married, you were still young, and you often had secret rivalries with Huairu."
"It's also because your brother-in-law is a carpenter, and she wanted to compare me, so she managed to marry into the city."
"You've also arrived in the city now, knowing what's going on, do you really think that life will be easier once you arrive in the city?"
Qin Jingru nodded and said: "That's true, if you marry in the city, if you don't transfer your household registration, it will be a burden."
"After giving birth to a child, the household registration is the same as that of the mother. I am also a countryman, and I don't compete for work points, and I don't have food rations."
"A few years ago, she didn't go back to her mother's house for many years. Isn't it because life was hard and she didn't have the face to go back?"
