Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife
Chapter 105 Birthday Banquet 1
Yaoyao's first birthday is coming, and Shen Xiaojun plans to hold a big party. There is no such thing as a hundred days after the full moon. He only has a meal with his family. This time he can't just celebrate it so easily.
She discussed with Lin Zhe and planned to book a better restaurant.
"Do you accept any gift money?"
Shen Xiaojun asked him, "What do you think?"
Lin Zhe thought for a moment, "Take it! I gave away so much, and Xiao Weiyue didn't even get it until she was one year old. If you don't keep it, you won't be able to get it back."
When Xiaowei Xiaoyue was born, the family's conditions were poor, so only her aunts and uncles came, and no other relatives or friends were invited, so naturally there was no gift money.
Over the years, one of my relatives and friends gave birth to a child and had a banquet, and the other married a wife and celebrated her birthday. They gave away a lot, but only the expenses were paid but no income was received.
"If that's the case, we'll have to hold a lot of tables."
"There must be tables for ten. If it were held in my hometown, we wouldn't be able to hold tables for twenty."
If you do it in the city, you have to take a car, so fewer people will come, which is troublesome.
It is held in my hometown, one person gives a gift, and the whole family sits at the table.
In addition, people in the village who have good connections will pay some gifts to join in the fun, so there are even more people.
Zhang Simin also called and asked where they would do it. If they wanted to go back, they would have to book a chef first.
There is a chef in my hometown who specializes in hosting banquets. You don’t have to prepare tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans yourself. The chef will bring them over. If you pay more, it’s all-inclusive. You don’t even need to move your hands. The chef will bring someone to help. .
Knowing that Lin Zhe and the others were going to host the business in the city, Zhang Simin said: "It's so far away, so I'm afraid many people won't be able to go there. We informed them, and they would be embarrassed not to give us a favor (gift money). If we give a favor, we won't be able to eat." , I’m afraid it will make people gossip.”
Lin Zhe really hadn't considered this, but people had already informed him one after another... "Well, I'll charter a bus. Then I'll charter two buses to pick up people in the town."
As soon as the phone call was put, Shen Xiaojun laughed at him, "It's a chartered car to pick up and drop off, and it's a restaurant reservation. After all, it's a loss."
Lin Zhe's eyes widened, "If you lose, you lose. I'm not celebrating my son's birthday just to make money!"
cut!Who said before that he was afraid that the gift money would not be returned?
At nine o'clock in the morning, two buses stopped on the road in front of Shen's house.
Shen Wende stepped forward and handed a cigarette to the driver sitting at the door. There was poured tea on the stool beside him.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The driver smiled and took it, "It's not hard, I paid for it."
Shen Wende asked: "You earn a lot from your sports car in January, right?"
"It's okay. Things like this don't happen every day. We sometimes run long distances..."
Chen Lan slowly put on lipstick in front of the mirror upstairs. After applying it, she pursed her lips and said, "Do you think your sister and the others are cheating? They act like they don't know they are making money. They even chartered a car to pick her up for her son's birthday. "
The mirror was occupied by someone, and Shen Ying was arranging her clothes in front of the glass window, "Two years ago, you had to spend money to take a car to attend a birthday party, but now they drive the car to the door of your house. You also said, how can I be like you? meaning?"
Chen Lan put the lipstick on the table hard, "Everything is not as good as I expected! When I think that your parents would rather hold the money in their hands than give it to us to buy a house, I feel uncomfortable!"
Shen Ying stopped talking, picked up the mousse on the table, pressed out white foam on the comb, and walked to the mirror.
Chen Lan pushed him and frowned, "Speak! Why don't you say anything? You also know what your parents did was wrong! How can any parent hold money in their hands and not give it to their son! Now every month we You have to pay back 300 yuan to the bank. Life is very tight. I haven’t even painted the walls since I bought the house. It’s free to decorate and buy furniture. Just ask your parents for it! They should pay for the decoration!”
Seeing the mousse that fell on the ground, Shen Ying frowned, squatted down and used a comb to scrape off the layer on her face, and combed it on her hair, "If I don't say this, Dad already said that, what else can I say?" ? It won’t cost much to just paint the house, and we’re not in a hurry to live in it now anyway.”
"Who's not in a hurry to move in? I want to take Xiaofei to live there during the summer vacation. When school starts in the second half of the term, I can just transfer Xiaofei there."
Shen Ying looked at her and said, "I don't know what you're worried about! Xiaofei's grades are not good to begin with, but you still want to transfer him to the city. At least his parents can give him some tutoring at home, but who will tutor him in the city? You ?”
It's not that he looked down on Chen Lan. He just got a junior high school diploma from someone else. What was his highest score in mathematics?About [-] points.How can she tutor her children if she can even memorize the multiplication table incorrectly?
Chen Lan put her hands on her hips and said, "Why can't I do it? I am a junior high school graduate and I can't tutor a child in the third grade of elementary school? You just ask your parents to tutor you. I haven't seen them do anything with the tutoring every day. The results are not bad!"
"If they hadn't been watching, Xiaofei's fun-loving temperament would have made his grades even worse!"
Chen Lan pushed him, "I don't care! Anyway, next year we have to let Xiaofei go to school! Shen Xiaojun's children can go to the city to go to school and learn to dance, draw and so on, why can't my Chen Lan's son! I don't care How do you think of a way? The houses in the city must be installed before the start of next semester..."
Duan Xia was about to go upstairs, but when she heard this, she frowned and stepped back.
Seeing that her face looked ugly, Shen Wende asked, "What's wrong?"
Duan Xia pursed her lips and said, "They are making trouble upstairs!"
Shen Wende frowned slightly, "Let's just make trouble and don't worry about them!"
Not long after, Lin Chengcai also arrived and shook hands with Shen Wende. The two of them called each other "in-law" and chatted quite affectionately.
If Lin Chengcai didn't dare to talk to others so much before, and his useless little son kidnapped his daughter, leaving him unable to return even if he had a family, he would have felt inferior in front of them.
Although things got better later and Lin Zhe was able to take his wife and children to have dinner at his father-in-law's house, he still felt that he couldn't hold his head high in front of others.
After all, if his son hadn't kidnapped someone else's daughter, the Shen and Lin families would never have been able to become in-laws.
The Lin family was too poor back then!The whole family relies on the one-third of an acre of land at home. Only the eldest son is doing better. He has changed his job and joined a work unit, but he can't do much to help the family.
As for the Shen family, both of them have an iron rice bowl from the work unit, and they will be supported by the state when they are old.
It can't be compared!
Now that things are going well, his family Lin Zhe has made money. He has a house in the city and a shop worth 10,000+, and he is doing business that makes money every day. Lin Chengcai feels that his back is straightened up. In the Shen family In front of the in-laws, I can also chat and laugh with them.
She discussed with Lin Zhe and planned to book a better restaurant.
