Chapter 733: Joy in the Yan Family
Sihe Academy
The Yan Fugui family was joyfully preparing for the wedding banquet.
Shazhu ran to the Yan house happily:
"Second Uncle!"
"Let me handle your family's wedding banquet."
"I guarantee I'll bring out my signature skills."
"I'll make everyone praise it endlessly."
"I'll make every household remember your kindness."
Yan Fugui adjusted his glasses and said with a smile:
"Shazhu!"
"Your culinary skills are indeed good."
"But you wouldn't be doing this for free, would you?"
Shazhu rubbed his hands together and said with a silly smile:
"If everyone is satisfied, just give me a red envelope."
"It doesn't have to be much, six yuan and sixty cents, for good luck and auspiciousness."
"What? What? What did you say?"
"Six yuan and sixty cents?"
"Shazhu, you really have the nerve to ask!"
"Do you think you're the master chef from Quanjude!"
"Forget it, forget it!"
"My temple is small and can't afford a big Buddha like you."
Yan Fugui got anxious immediately upon hearing this and pushed Shazhu toward the door.
Shazhu hurriedly grabbed the doorway and shouted, "Second Uncle! Second Uncle! Let's negotiate, let's negotiate!"
Yan Fugui said irritably, "For the sake of us being neighbors,"
"I'll give you one chance to organize your words."
"Think carefully before you speak."
Shazhu didn't dare to speak easily for a moment.
After the Changshui Village incident, his reputation was ruined.
The commune accountant wouldn't help him find jobs anymore.
Up until now, his pockets were cleaner than his face.
He was desperate to get a job to earn some money.
Otherwise, he would have to go hungry next.
But who was Yan Laoxi?
Trying to squeeze money out of his hands was harder than reaching the heavens!
Shazhu thought left and right, and finally gritted his teeth:
"Third Uncle!"
"I know you are a man who knows how to live."
"I'm also happy about Yan Jiecheng's happy marriage."
"Let's aim for good luck."
"Let's have the best of both worlds!"
"You give a red envelope of two yuan."
"I will definitely make the food look, smell, and taste perfect!"
"I'll make everyone eat happily and cheer!"
Yan Fugui was quite satisfied when he heard this number.
A reward of two yuan was quite fair.
But who was Yan Fugui?
He wanted to save every cent he could.
Yan Fugui asked with a smile, "How much are you planning to give as a gift for Jiecheng's wedding?"
Shazhu forced a smile: "How about a gift of three mao, what do you think?"
Yan Fugui patted Shazhu's shoulder with satisfaction: "Zhuzi is sensible now!"
"Fine! Then I'll leave the banquet to you."
Shazhu said happily, "Third Uncle is wise!"
Yan Jiecheng walked over and said, "Dad! How many tables are you planning to set?"
Yan Fugui calculated: "Prepare five tables."
"The neighbors in the courtyard and the relatives from both families should be able to sit."
Yan Jiecheng said, "Five tables is too few! I also want to invite my coworkers."
Yan Fugui asked, "How much will your coworkers give as a gift if they come?"
Yan Jiecheng said, "At least two mao."
Yan Fugui calculated: "Then how many coworkers do you want to invite?"
Yan Jiecheng thought for a moment and said, "About twelve or thirteen."
Yan Fugui: "Then add one more table."
Yan Jiecheng exclaimed, "More than ten people at one table? Can they even sit?"
Yan Fugui laughed, "If they squeeze in, they can all sit; otherwise, one more table means our family has to spend money for one more table of food."
Yan Jiecheng thought for a moment and said, "That's true! Then we'll do as you say."
Shazhu asked with concern, "Second Uncle! Should I prepare the food and drink, or will you?"
If he were to handle the procurement, he would definitely squeeze out some profit.
Yan Fugui said with a smile, "My in-laws are from the grain store; we'll prepare it ourselves."
Shazhu said enviously, "With relatives in the grain store, your family won't have to worry about going hungry in the future."
This made Yan Fugui happy, and a smile appeared on Yan Jiecheng's face.
Zhou Guiying was a bit fat.
But could a good figure be eaten as food?
Zhou Guiying's cousin had said it.
The Yan family would give a bride price of ten yuan.
Director Ma would provide a sewing machine as a dowry.
Ten yuan in exchange for a sewing machine.
This was a pie falling from the sky right onto their heads!
The Yan family's style: practical, not superficial!
Yan Fugui and the Third Aunt were beaming on the spot.
Yan Jiecheng was precisely looking at this point.
Marrying Zhou Guiying and having Director Ma's care,
He could save ten years of struggle!
His cousin-in-law (Director Ma) had said it. ===== CHAPTER 735 =====
