8. Family dinner (2)

Please bookmark, recommend!

*******

Cai Ming, who was sitting next to Zhang Yong, immediately shouted loudly to the outside with a powerful aura: "The waiter serves the food."

Cai Ming is now just a small clerk of the Municipal Planning Bureau. Although he is good at dancing, he is just a department-level cadre in the Planning Bureau. Old city hotels like Baiyun Hotel rarely come here to eat at his level.

To put it bluntly, even if he can come here for one or two meals, he will come with his leaders or customers. For example, the waiters at Baiyun Hotel usually have a chance to come in, so he is not the turn of him to come and shout. It’s just that his elder brother-in-law is present today and he is the chief cadre of Baiyun Hotel, so he dares to be so tough.

The Zhang family has held several family banquets here, and Zhang Yong is the supervisor here again, so the supervisor here has carefully helped arrange the meals. With a greeting here, the meals were brought up like flowing mats.

Wang Guang and Cai Qiang, two cousins, looked at the fragrant food on the dining table, and each of them was surging their throats. After all, they were half-aged boys. Faced with such delicious and delicious food, how could they resist the temptation? But the adults hadn't moved yet, so how could they dare to move halfway?

If it were the original Li Yifan, he would probably have been like these two cousins, watching the food on the table constantly swallowing. But now he is no longer the ignorant young man he used to be. He doesn't know how many times he has eaten, so it's hard to make him look up to the current table of food.

Li Yifan's calmness was seen by her cousin Zhang Qian on the opposite side. She was a little curious about her cousin. Before, Li Yifan was not good at studying, so she relied on her father to find someone to help her when she entered No. 1 Middle School. Moreover, after entering No. 1 Middle School, she was also like everyone else, so Zhang Qian looked down on her cousin very much.

But yesterday she heard that her cousin slapped Gao Zhishan, the son of the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, twice. Today, Li Yifan's calmness at such a meal made her feel even more curious. What happened to this cousin? Why did he suddenly change so much?

Zhang Qian's mouth moved, but she still didn't say anything in the end. On the other hand, under the heat of Wang Hu and Cai Ming, Zhang Yong had already started drinking with his two brothers-in-law.

Several sisters-in-law began to chat with each other, and the men started to drink. Now the half-grown boy, who had no one paid attention to, was having fun and began to sweep the food on the table like a wind and clouds.

After two years of training, Li Yifan, who knew the etiquette at the table very well, did not join the battle group of his two cousins ​​early like he did when he attended a family dinner several times before and began to perform voraciously. Instead, he chewed slowly and gently, and only picked up a few chopsticks for the dishes he was interested in. And he usually tasted it briefly, and did not have the shameful performance of the previous ones.

Zhang Yong also saw Li Yifeng's different performance today. Why does his nephew seem to be a little different today? And looking at his calm expression, it seems that he is not pretending. This is very different from Yifan in his previous impression.

"Yifan, you're going to have a final exam tomorrow, right? How are you preparing?"

Zhang Yong was still very concerned about the news about his juniors at home. In the early years, he relied entirely on himself and became the first college student in Longtou Village to get into college. Then, through his identity as a college student, he joined the civil servant team and reached his current status and status. Therefore, he knew the importance of his academic performance to a young man.

His own child is a daughter. Although he is good at studying, he is very at ease with his daughter. However, among his nephews, he has only seen that this nephew is still a little ambitious.

Wang Guang from the second sister's family, Zhang Yong has not liked him since childhood because of his appearance. In addition, this child is not a good learning material and is still hang out in the ordinary middle school of No. 3 Middle School, so Zhang Yong is not very concerned about Wang Guang.

Cai Qiang from Xiaomei’s family, although his child is honest, his studies are not very good. He will take the high school entrance exam next year, but Zhang Yong is not optimistic about him.

In this way, only the third one from my elder sister's family is redundant. Although this child has not had good academic performance in recent years, he was quite spiritual in the early years. In addition, this child is also happy and is still studying in No. 1 Middle School, so Zhang Yong still has great expectations for Li Yifan.

In his opinion, the future hope of this family will be placed on Zhang Qian and Li Yifan.

The first high school senior high school starts at the end of the first year and then has to be divided into classes. It has been rumored in the city. Many cadres of the agency whose children are studying in the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the

"Well, I'm almost ready."

Li Yifan replied lightly. Although he did not make any gritting statements, his calmness still made Zhang Yong's eyes lit up. This child is different from before. He is less frizzy and more calm, and it seems that he has grown up all of a sudden.

Li Yifan's academic performance problem has always been the object that his parents were ashamed to talk to others. After all, although his grades are not as good as the tail end of the crane in the class, they are also in the middle and lower reaches.

So although parents are unwilling to mention it in front of their relatives, everyone knows it well. As the saying goes, do not slap people in the face, and people generally do not ask such questions that embarrass their parents during parties.

Today, my uncle was a little happy that he was patted by his second uncle and uncle. Then he asked more about this topic. He regretted it after he said it, but unexpectedly, Li Yifan's calmness and calmness surprised him very much.

A trace of gloom flashed across the second aunt and second uncle's face, but it was soon covered by the two of them. The uncle-in-law was full of disdain, but after being stabbed by his aunt, he also changed his face.

"Ah?...haha, it's a good thing to be so confident..."

My uncle said something in his words. He usually saw Li Yifan's father, Li Liqiang, his elder brother-in-law, very unhappy because Cai Ming is from the city, while Li Liqiang came to Longtou Village. Although he was very skilled in cooking, he was a bit dull and not very good at socializing. Before, Li Liqiang had offended Cai Ming's words, and Cai Ming kept his scrupulous eyes in his heart.

In addition, he was very close to his second uncle Wang Hu, so he knew about Li Liqiang and others for a long time, so when the second uncle and his second uncle were not convenient to come forward, he often said something excessive to his father, which made Li Yifan feel unhappy for a long time.

"Well, it's a good thing to be confident, but you must not underestimate the enemy. I heard that this exam is not low!"

When Zhang Yong saw his particularly confident nephew, he couldn't help but remind him again.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm ready."

Li Yifan still answered calmly. Zhang Yong was even more surprised when he heard this. Is this the Li Yifan who was often scared by his majesty when he talked to him before?

Moreover, his eyes were firm and full of confidence, and it didn't seem like he was talking big.

"Yes, yes, Xiaofan has worked hard these days. He reviews until the second half of the night when he goes home. I haven't seen him study so hard for a while..."

When Zhang Shu thought of her son's changes over the past few days, she was very proud of her son's changes. Even if it was just a little bit worthy of her pride, she would talk to others.

"Is that so? Haha, that's fine, that's fine."

"Yes? Are you working so hard? Are you not peeking at martial arts novels? Hahaha, I'm just kidding..."

Cai Ming cannot miss the opportunity to attack Li Yifeng. He is really a loss of identity when he makes such a joke like an adult and a child.

Seeing his wife's strange gaze and Zhang Yong's slightly unhappy look, Cai Ming also felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said.

"Haha, Yifan, if you do well in this final exam and stay in the key class, my uncle will reward you with a Giant bicycle."

These days, Giant bicycles are not cheap, and they cost 800 to 1,000 yuan per car. Cai Ming's monthly salary was only more than 2,000 yuan at this time, but the reason why he dared to say this was that he didn't believe that Li Yifan could pass the exam.

"Haha, yes, Yifan is good at studying, Xiao Cai, then you can wait and pay."

The second aunt said in the interview, and then the second uncle continued to say the second aunt.

"No, I remember when I was in elementary school, Yifan was always doing well in his studies. At that time, he was often the top ten in the class. Although his grades have not been stable in recent years, don't underestimate boys in high school. If you really study hard, your grades will be very fast."

When I heard the second uncle-in-law and his wife say this, it seemed that they were praising Li Yifan. But when they looked at the couple's expressions when they exchanged their eyes, Li Yifan knew that this was called praising him. The meaning of others was very obvious. Now that you are praised high, you will fall even harder. At that time, not only will he lose Li Yifan's face in front of relatives and friends, but also the faces of Li Liqiang and Zhang Shu were also lost. Zhang Shu is an elder sister and is also anxious. She is generally unwilling to think about these delicate intrigues, after all, she wants to maintain the unity between sisters and brothers.

Li Liqiang is dull and has not dealt with the worldly affairs well, so he has not heard of these tricks between his two brother-in-law.

However, the uncle who had been together in the officialdom for a long time could not understand the meaning of these two brothers. Moreover, he could see the tacit look of Cai Ming and Wang Hu in communication.

Humph! Are you playing the game of red face and white face? How can this be done between relatives?

"Xiaofan, if you do well this time and can stay in the key class, my uncle will reward you with a thousand yuan!"

Zhang Yong spoke, his words were honest and honest. He saw the relationship between his second uncle and his uncle just now, so compared with the sincere words of his uncle now, it is clear which one is better.

"Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely not disappoint you. By the way, uncle-in-law, you have that bicycle ready! Uncle-in-law, if I do well in the exam, what are you going to reward me?"

Since you like to show off me so much, why don’t I take advantage of the situation?

"By the way, the reason why your family can have today is because of their elder sister and brother-in-law, so Wang Hu, can't you be stingy this time?"

Zhang Yong said to Wang Hu with a smile, and by the way he also took him into his army. He really disliked people like Wang Hu and Cai Ming who put pressure on their children before the exam. What does it mean to have grudges between adults?

My uncle Zhang Shan, who hadn't spoken much, also spoke at this time.

"Yes, my second brother-in-law, your family has opened a hotel with my eldest brother-in-law's family, and it's a bit too late and I've made a lot of money. If your eldest nephew does well in the final exam this time, why don't you express your expression?"

Wang Hu didn't expect that the words were drawn to his head, and his face turned a little red, but he quickly opened his mouth.

"Okay, if Xiaofan does well this time and can stay in the key class, I will reward him with two thousand yuan in cash."
