Chapter 149 Celebration Banquet
On August 22, Tang Yu was officially discharged from the hospital. At about eight or nine o'clock in the morning, Tang Tianhong's driver came to the hospital to pick up people. Tang Tianhong is now the seat of the secretary-general of the government. He is really at the department level. Naturally, there is a special car to pick him up and drop him off. At that time, the state did not have a mandatory price for the distribution of department-level personnel. However, there is a set of its own unspoken rules in the officialdom. For real-power department-level cadres like Tang Tianhong, the general distribution of cars cannot exceed 250,000. For example, Tang Tianhong's distribution car is a paster, all of which are equipped with about 230,000 yuan. As for the license plates, these things have their own rules in the government.
Su Muru and Tang Tianhong are busy dealing with a lot of trivial matters on the government. They can't come in person, so only Zhang Yahui and Gu Qiuxia are here, and Tang Tianhao also drove to help. After all, Tang Yu has been hospitalized these days, and he has really accumulated a lot of guys here. Some are sent by others, and some are Zhang Yahui. Don't worry, Tang Yu, specially brought these things from home. Tang Yu will naturally take them home when he is discharged from the hospital. As for Tang Yu's uncle Tang Tianyu, he had returned to school the day before yesterday. Originally, he didn't start school until the end of August, but the tutor had a project that needed help, so he had to go ahead of time. Before leaving, he told Tang Yu to move back the computer left in Tang Tianhao's house.
However, Tang Yu's suffering did not end because he left the hospital. After arriving home, he had another toss. There is a custom in their hometown that Tang Yu is hospitalized with a serious illness. When he gets home, he has to cross the brazier and go. Therefore, when Tang Yu arrived home, a pot of burning charcoal was placed in front of the door.
"Mom, let's forget it. It's good to go home directly!"
Tang Yu looked at the flame rising one foot high, and his heart was a little scared. Their custom is not just as simple as crossing the brazier. In fact, there is also a reason why the charcoal is burned so vigorously. There is a saying on their side that when they cross the brazier, they must leave some memories for the brazier, which means that they must burn some of the brazier to finish it. It is unlucky to cross the brazier in vain. Therefore, when the people on their side cross the brazier, they all wear trousers one size larger than themselves, and the hem of the trousers is embroidered with a few cloth strips for the fire god to pay when they cross the brazier, so that it can be moldy.
Of course, this is the custom of Tang Yu's hometown many years ago. Now few people have done such a thing, which has been simplified to an ordinary cross-fire basin. After all, the cloth embroidered on the hem of the trousers for the Fire God is a certain danger. At that time, the more it is burned, the more auspicious it is, and there is still one next to it. I'm afraid the water in the basin really burns people, which is quite troublesome, so it is simplified to the simplest cross-fire basin.
However, this time Tang Yu was in a coma and woke up. Zhang Yahui, who originally didn't like these Shinto things, was persuaded by some old people to make up this ancient custom of burning bad luck across the brazier, and Tang Yu looked at the "strange clothes" on his body now. Life is helpless. By the way, what he is wearing now is comparable to the non-mainstream hole clothes of the twenty-first century. The super loose trousers are three size larger than his normal trousers. The trousers that are nearly ten centimeters long are dragged on the ground. The edges of the trousers are glued with more than a dozen rags, with different shapes and colors. Fortunately, there are only four people in front of his house, his mother Zhang Yahui, his godmother Gu Qiuxia, his second uncle Tang Tianhao and his second aunt. If he is seen by others in Tang Yu's "strange clothes", I don't know how to laugh. Tang Yu twisted his ears in the morning under his mother's coercion and inducement. He remembers him. Those people looked strangely when they walked out of the hospital.
"Mom, let's go back directly. You see, they are not interested in this now. Why don't we make the fire smaller and just step over it? Don't burn your trousers, okay? Tang Yu begged Zhang Yahui for mercy with a sad face. When he spoke, the flame rose again, which made him look scared.
"No, you child, what are you talking about? How can you not cross the brazier when you come back from the hospital? This is the custom of the year before last in our hometown. It works. Why don't you cross it quickly? Is it possible that you want to bring all the mold to your home? With that, he knocked on Tang Yu's head, twisted his ear and came to the front of the brazier. Zhang Yahui was cruel. This three days of Tang Yu's coma were longer than three years for her. This time, she finally listened to the words of the old man at home and made Tang Yu have bad luck across the fire basin. How could Tang Yu's words dispel his determination?
Looking at Zhang Yahui's posture, Tang Yu also knows that it seems that the brazier must be crossed. As soon as his eyes are closed, he said secretly in his heart with an extremely sad voice. Isn't it just crossing a brazier? We have even experienced the kind of rebirth, and we are afraid of a small brazier. With his eyes closed, he walked over to the brazier with a cruel heart, listening to Zhang Yahui's Shinto saying strange words in his ear, such as "Go to bad luck and burn bad luck, cross the fire basin without bad luck" and so on.
The flame is close to a foot high. Although the fire is not big or thick, it is still frightening. When Tang Yu stepped over, several ten-centimeters-long cloth strips dragged at the foot of his trousers were lit. The flames rushed straight up, making Tang Yu's heart jump non-stop. By the way, When he knew that he was reborn, Tang Yu didn't have such a faster heartbeat. Fortunately, Tang Tianhao had already prepared water in his hand. Tang Yu's second aunt took the cypress branch and dipped it in water and sprinkled it on the feet of Tang Yu's trousers. After extinguishing the small flame on the rags at the bottom of the trousers, they sprinkled the water from the bottom up to Tang Yu's body all the top of his head, which made Tang Yu want to cry without tears.
Their appearance of Shintoism reminds Tang Yu of those witches and goddesses who fooled people in the past. It really made Tang Yu a little speechless and helpless. He really didn't expect that his mother, who had always been an atheist, could become such a Shinto because he was injured once. Tao. He didn't know that in the three days when he was in a coma, not only his mother Zhang Yahui, but also his father Tang Tianhong went to ask God to worship Buddha.
After stepping over the basin to wash the mold, these Shinto activities were finally over. Tang Yu sighed in his heart, turned around and took off his "strange costume" and handed it to his second uncle, and then threw it into the brazier. Zhang Yahui and his second aunt had another Shinto chanting. When the talk was over, this It was completely over. The appearance of the jumping god made Tang Yu mistakenly think that his mother was eating in her previous life.
"I'm finally home!" After the activity of the jumping god, Tang Yu, who was "freshing" finally stepped into the house again after many days.
Originally, they got home at ten o'clock. The toss in front of the house took half an hour. When Tang Yu stepped into the house, it was actually half past ten.. He couldn't wait to take off his clothes. Tang Yu rushed into the bathroom. By the way, his second uncle splashed it on him with the cypress branches dipped in the messy "divine water", which really made him feel a little afraid, so he couldn't wait to rush into the bathroom to take a shower.
When Tang Yu came out of the shower, the house was completely cleaned up, and the large pile of things brought back from the hospital were also unloaded from the car. So, the family began to set out in a vast way.
Tang Tianhao booked a banquet outside. The banquet will start at 12 o'clock. Now it's almost 11 o'clock. As the host, they will naturally arrive early.
The place for the celebration banquet is set in a medium-sized and medium-grade restaurant near the old street in Fengcheng District. The reason why it is booked in this place is that Tang Yu was injured and hospitalized in a coma in the old street. According to the customs here, it is natural to celebrate the wine on the side of the old street, which is a different custom from other places.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Tang Tianhao originally arranged people to greet guests here. At this time, some people had arrived one after another. Tang Yu is the protagonist today. Naturally, he sat in the chairman. Tang Tianhao greeted Tang Yu and began to go outside to greet people. He invited several business friends to come over today. They all wanted to take the opportunity to get along with the Tang family. Tang Tianhao couldn't resist them, so he let these people come here. In fact, this kind of celebration banquet was not for these people.
The celebration banquet is really like Tang Yu's previous guess. Although Tang Tianhao only invited close people and a few business friends, and he was full of guests at three tables, in fact, it was far better than this, which greatly exceeded Tang Tianhao's prediction.
After the people invited by Tang Tianhao arrived one after another, Tang Tianhao was ready to open the banquet, but then there was a burst of cheerful laughter outside.
"Hahaha, Tianhao, you don't give me face. How can you miss me for Xiaoyu Qingjiu? Xiaoyu had an accident on the ground of our Fengcheng District this time. It's my uncle who didn't do his duty. He should come to give Xiaoyu Qingjiu." It turned out that Tao Yehua, the district governor of Fengcheng District, came over.
"Uncle Tao." Tang Yu hurriedly got up and said hello. In front of so many people, Tang Yu could not support Tao Yehua. Although he was always casual when he met Tao Yehua, he did not have so many rules, and Tao Yehua did not dare to expect Tang Yu to have any rules for him. However, Tang Yu naturally could not lose face to Tao Yehua in front of many people today. I don't want others to know the relationship between the two.
After Tao Yehua came, the banquet became more lively. Some gave wine to Tang Yuqing and some flattered Tao Yehua.
"It's really not easy for Xiaoyu to have that kind of courage at such an old age. He fights with six gangsters, tut..."
"The tiger father has no dog son, the son of Secretary-General Tang, the god-son of Mayor Su. With such an elder, it is natural for Xiao Yu to be so promising..."
"The little hero of Dongling City..."
"I heard that our Dongling City will hold the top ten youth commendation conference every year from this year. Young heroes like Xiaoyu naturally have to show their faces..."
"Xiao Yu, this time, has grown a face for the children in our office compound. Ji Liang, learn from others well in the future. Young people should have blood..."
In a word, as soon as the banquet began, all kinds of praise and flattery began to be heard. If it hadn't been for Tang Yu's long battle in his previous life, I'm afraid he would be fluttering now. However, the plain look on his face made many old officials who came to celebrate look at him secretly. The young man could stand such favor and humiliation. That's It's not simple. They are people who are used to the world. Naturally, it can be seen that Tang Yu's performance is not pretending, but can really be indifferent. Even Tang Tianhao admires his nephew's mentality. If he is at this age, he can't be like Tang Yu on such an occasion. You know, limited to Tang Tianhong's unsatisfiedness in the officialdom before, Tang Yu experienced this kind of battle for the first time.
With the banquet, some people came to celebrate Tang Yu one after another. Some of these people received an invitation from Tang Tianhao, but Tang Tianhao thought that he would not come, such as Cheng Weidong, the secretary of the District Party Committee of Chengguan District, although he just came to drink half a glass of wine with Tang Yu. They left in a hurry, but some people came uninvited without receiving an invitation. In the officialdom, there will never be a lack of thick-skinned people. The so-called thick-faced and dark-hearted is generally like this.
These people came one after another. In the end, more and more people came. The three tables of banquets originally prepared were added again and again. In the end, the whole restaurant was wrapped down and it was still overcrowded, which Tang Tianhao and Tang Yu did not expect. Fortunately, Tang Tianhao felt that three or five tables of banquets were not enough in advance. He wrapped the whole restaurant, or he had to make a joke. The owner of the restaurant is also a capable person. He has seen a lot more people than before, and he is not in a hurry. He hurriedly added a few new tables of banquets and added a few more chairs to each table, so that all the people who came over sat down. As for the lack of ingredients prepared by the restaurant, it was not difficult for him to beat him. He immediately went to a high price from the nearby restaurant. Come and go.
He is willing to do today's business even if it is a loss. If Tang Tianhao is willing, he is willing to give it for free. You know, although his relatively remote mid-range restaurant is not bad, there are few big people who usually visit him. These people who come here today can be regarded as his live advertisements. They can't invite people on weekdays, but today they gather to his restaurant. If it works properly, his business will be able to do it in the future. It's good enough, so he doesn't care whether he can make money today. The key is the influence on the restaurant. When opening a restaurant, what you want is fame. If you have a good reputation, are you afraid that the guests will not come? Today, Tang Tianhao nailed the banquet here, which is equivalent to invisibly improving the level of the restaurant by more than one level. It is also because he has something to do with Tang Tianhao that Tang Tianhao is willing to help him. If it were someone else, I'm afraid he can't be sed with it.
Tang Yu originally thought that if he attended this kind of banquet, even if he was not a close person, he had to know him at least. It was not suitable to come and participate in this kind of banquet that he thought was a little close. How could he be? Except for the first few tables, more than half of the people who came behind him were not known, or only knew the name and did not see him. It's my own.
However, the ability to pull the relationship in the officialdom is the strength of these people. Thick-faced and dark-hearted is a necessary skill in the officialdom. It has a relationship with the Tang family without a sound or trace. No matter how this relationship is pulled, even Tang Tianhong once visited an organ, and he can be involved by these people. And you have nothing to say.
Tang Yu didn't expect that these people's stalking skills were so powerful. Fortunately, Tang Yu had a good mouth and a cheeky face in the shopping mall in his previous life, so he was not fooled by these people.
Naturally, these people are not here to celebrate for Tang Yu. Tang Yu is such a hairy boy, put in the ordinary days. Even if he has a department-level father, it is not worth these people coming here to filiate with so many people. It's really a little strange this time. These people come to participate, in fact, they have their own purposes, but It's nothing more than a relationship, a set of words and so on.
It is naturally good to have a good relationship with the Tang family. Tang Tianhong is now an upstart in the officialdom of Dongling City. He is the most popular person in front of Su Muruo. He is more popular than Su Murou's full-time secretary. Naturally, he is a person worthy of praise. Being able to have a good relationship with Tang Tianhong means that the relationship with Su Murou is close to a layer, which is naturally good for them, who are in the officialdom.
It has nothing to do with the Tang family. I also want to talk from Tang Yu or Tang Tianhao to see how to deal with this matter in the end. After all, whether it is a strict beating or Du Jihai's work, it is caused by Tang Yu's coma, which is deeply related to Tang Yu. It is natural to find Tang Yu to inquire.
It's just that they really underestimate Tang Yu, a business strong man who has been floating in the mall for decades in his previous life. They have already experienced the ability to quarrel with these official figures to the point of perfection. Although they do not fight with these officials between words, they look like Shinto and Taoism at will while being blind. Pulling, pretending to be stupid and stunned, stunned to make those officials lose their temper. Instead, Tang Yu followed his second uncle to a table of wine and pretended to be dumbfounded when he said this, but he also took the opportunity to figure out the attitude of many officials and received a lot of red envelopes. These people came to Tang Yuqing's wine. Naturally, they couldn't come empty-handed, and they couldn't be stingy. They let Tang Yu receive red envelopes and receive hand cramps.
In the meantime, Su Muru and Tang Tianhong appeared unexpectedly for a few minutes. After drinking in a hurry, they left.
Originally, Su Murou and Tang Tianhong were busy dealing with all kinds of things and were not ready to come over. However, after Tang Tianhao called Tang Tianhong and gave a general overview of the guest list here, Su Muru decided to come over. Although the two of them hurriedly left after just a few minutes of attendance, Su Murou only drank half a glass of wine, but these few minutes can't underestimate whether Su Muru is present or not, which makes them play a decisive role in Tang Yu's positioning.
At this ** opportunity, Su Muru had to take time out of her busy schedule to give Tang Yuqing wine, which also made these people completely understand the weight of Tang Yu, and secretly sighed that today's trip was not in vain.
As for Tang Yu, today he has completely entered the eyes of the officialdom of Dongling City. He is also proficient and has left an impression on many people.
Last time when Tang Yu admitted his marriage, he also held a banquet. However, the protagonists of that time were Tang Yu and Su Muru. The participants were at least department-level cadres who were qualified. This banquet was a little different. The protagonist was Tang Yu, and the planner was Tang Tianhao. Naturally, there was not so much attention to it. He is a cadre below the department level. In addition to Tao Yehua and Cheng Weidong, most of them are people under the department level. Cheng Weidong just drank a glass of wine and left in a hurry. After all, Tang Yu's identity is limited there. He has done a good job when he can come and drink a glass of wine. If he stays, it seems to be a little down. As for why Tao Yehua has been staying here and hasn't left, this is a little intriguing.
However, there is no doubt that with the last wedding banquet and this celebration banquet, Tang Yu was at least familiar with the officialdom of Dongling City. Tang Tianhao and pulled him to toast several business figures in Dongling City, which was more or less familiar. As for the arrival of Su Murou and Tang Tianhong halfway, these are all Tang Yu understood this for Tang Yu's long face and paved the way for him. Naturally, those officials also understood what Su Muru meant, which was roughly like this.
An unexpected thing happened in the middle, that is, when Su Murou and Tang Tianhong came halfway, Du Jihai also followed behind to show his face and personally toasted Tang Yu. Although he also left quickly with Su Murou, but here The meaning revealed is also a little intriguing. Every step of the officialdom has its own intention, and it will not come out casually. Du Jihai's appearance even made the lively banquet cold. It became lively after Du Jihai toasted Tang Yu, but it also showed that Du Jihai did devote himself to Su Muru's series.
Before that, everyone was just guessing and not completely confirming this matter, but today's appearance of Du Jihai has completely confirmed this matter to everyone, confirming that he has indeed invested in Su Muru's family. As for why he can obtain Su Muru's understanding, everyone naturally knows this. Of.
However, even if he enters the Su Muruo series, Du Jihai has completely become a widow. These officials are extremely taboo about what he does. Even the officials who have benefited from this matter are also taboo about such things that Du Jihai does, so few people give Du Jihai Looking at the good face, even there are few people who are virtual and snakes, which makes him leave in a hurry soon after Su Muru left...
In a word, in Tang Yu's opinion, this banquet with extraordinary meaning was relatively successful. Since then, he has had a place in Dongling City...
