Chapter 1865 Rejection
Li Xiaoyan was jealous of Zhou Tianming. Granny Li recovered from the shock and regretted it again. How could she be so confused!
If they had not offended the Le family girl, today the officials would come to the Le family to pay New Year greetings, and Xiaoyan would have a chance to show her face.
Since Xiaoyan could eat and drink in the Lejia like the grandson of the Zhou family, the boss knew that Xiaoyan was a relative of the girl from the Lejia, so he changed her name to Xiaoyan smoothly.
A great opportunity was right in front of me, but it was ruined because of a moment of confusion.
Granny Li felt uncomfortable watching everyone in the Zhou family chatting and laughing, so she had to pretend to smile.
Zhou Tianming ran to his uncle’s house and went straight to the kitchen in the south building. He saw the handsome guys and his uncle preparing pots, bowls, chopsticks, spoons and cups, and he silently helped.
After preparing everything needed in the south building, Dad Le took the handsome guys and Zhou Tianming to the north building to move wine from the living room on the second floor, placing two boxes of wine on each table.
The host had served drinks in advance, and Director Zhang and others also knew that dinner would be served soon, so they all had a sharp eye and cleared the table at the table where they were sitting.
Zhou Qiufeng put away the fruit plate, gave bowls and chopsticks to each table, and then placed a basin filled with hot water on each table.
The living room always uses a round table, but the kitchen adapts to local conditions. In the same way as eating hot pot, pour water on the bottom of the pot, put a stand, and then put the dishes and bowls.
Dad Le and the handsome guys moved the wine to the south building. The guests had already neatly cleared the table, and they only needed to distribute the wine to the table one by one.
It wasn’t until Le’s father served drinks that Mr. Yi calmly went up to the third floor and told his little disciple and his little cousin to finish class. The old man saw that his little disciple was studying hard without supervision. , very happy, holding his little disciple in his arms, appearing in front of a group of monks with a proud look on his face.
Mr. Yi did not let Chen Fengnian go anywhere else. He asked the young man to sit on the second floor to keep his young disciple company. Of course, he also hugged the black-backed wolfdog.
The elders of the Tang family and the Xuan family silently looked at Mr. Yi's baby and his young disciple, and the thought of putting a sack on them flashed through their minds thousands of times.
Roca officially served the dishes at nearly twelve o’clock, and there were five bowls in the first round.
The guests happily ate and drank red wine.
The second round of dishes is four, and together they make nine, including four medicinal dishes.
In the first month of the year in rural areas, people usually only have six main dishes when visiting each other. In the past few years, no matter who goes there in Lejia, there are eight or nine dishes, which is a first-class banquet.
The banquet at Lejia in the first month of the year is very high-end, especially if you drink red wine, it is even more classy.
Go to the village where Lejia visitsThe people were particularly proud when they thought that they and the officials and leaders were eating at the same level of banquet. Because the Le family was too busy, they did not sit down for more after the banquet. They either brought their families with them or returned in groups of twos and threes.
The guests in the south building ate quickly and finished their meal in less than forty minutes. They went back to their homes first. The tables in the north building ate more slowly. It took them an hour to finish their meal. Disperse.
Zhou Tianming works as a guest in the North Building and is responsible for pouring wine for the leaders at the same table.
The girl from the Le family introduced the young man, and the leaders also knew that the young man was the direct cousin of the little boy from the Le family. Their attitude towards him was similar to that of Village Chief Zhou, and they were all very polite.
After the meal was over, the tables were changed again, and there were after-dinner fruits.
The leaders wanted to have a chat with Le, but her home was undergoing construction, and they were too embarrassed to waste her time and gave up the space to Jiudao Central School.
In addition to expressing their gratitude, the leadership team of Jiudao Central School and Junior High School would also like to invite the primary school students to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the teaching building and library.
The library and new teaching building of the junior high school have entered the final step of work - various equipment has arrived, including library bookshelves, books, teaching materials needed by the school, shelves for storing teaching materials, etc. They are being delivered in batches.
Le Xiao’s classmate handed over the computers, monitoring and other equipment used for teaching to Brother Li’s mother, and Ms. Luo Zhuxiang and her company team were responsible for the entire process.
A few years ago, Ms. Luo took her subordinates in charge of Jiudao School work and a batch of computer equipment to Jiudao Junior High School in person. At that time, she was too busy with work and could not spare time, so she did not visit Lejia. .
With the Spring Festival holiday, all school work has been temporarily put on hold. After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, computer installation and other work will be restarted again.
The leadership team of the junior high school communicated with the suppliers many times and confirmed that all the work can be completed by the end of April, and the school can be officially opened in May.
The school has also initially planned to schedule the ribbon-cutting ceremony during the May Day holiday. If Le is able to attend the ribbon-cutting, based on her schedule, the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be arranged whenever she is free. When.
The leadership team of the central school tried their best to persuade Le students to go to the school to cut the ribbon in person, and even promoted Principal Yin to be the lobbyist.
No matter how hard they tried, Le Xiao’s classmate remained unmoved and always insisted on refusing. She didn’t like to engage in superficial formalities, and the same applies to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony of the school is necessary. After all, it is also a publicity opportunity to make more people really care about education, so that students can also feel the sense of ceremony and have a greater sense of direction and responsibility.
It’s just that she doesn’t like to participate in public events that attract much attention.
DislikeHuan just didn’t like it, and Le didn’t want to be the wronged person to be the “big boss” being watched, so he thanked the invitation without hesitation.
The school was enthusiastic and persistent, which gave her a headache. Finally, she took a step back and agreed to let Grandpa Zhou Man attend the ribbon-cutting instead of her.
As for her father and Aunt Feng, forget it, it’s better not to let her parents participate in that kind of entertainment. If her father and Aunt Feng go to the school to cut the ribbon this time, in the future, for example, the official If she wanted to use her name to drive traffic to some event, it would be hard to refuse if she invited her father, Aunt Feng, to cut the ribbon.
Grandpa Zhou Man is different. He is the village chief and an elder. It doesn’t matter if he is a spokesperson for once. Even if someone wants to establish a relationship with him in the future, he will have enough reasons to refuse.
Village Chief Zhou was confused and asked him to be the spokesperson to cut the ribbon?
Thinking about that scene, his legs were a little weak.
However, seeing Xiao Lele’s expression of trust and dependence, Village Chief Zhou couldn’t say no. Well, if Xiao Lele believed him, he would just give it a try.
Classmate Le was unwilling to cut the ribbon, so he found a spokesperson, which gave the school leaders some comfort.
Little Loli was talking to the leaders. Mr. Yi and others had already started work, and soon after, the merchants who delivered steel bars also delivered goods to their doorsteps.
Classmate Le had to supervise the quality of the project and inspect and accept the steel bars. Even though Mr. Chen and Bureau Zhang and others had a thousand words to say, they did not say any more and said goodbye in a sensible manner.
The Le family couple brought their little cotton-padded jackets to see off their guests.
Of course, when they see off guests, they take them to the village road next to the building, and then watch them off as Village Chief Zhou takes the leaders to the village office building.
The young and middle-aged people of the Zhou family had lunch at Zhou Xialong's house and stayed for a while. Some of them had something to do and went home. Others had nothing to do and sat around at Zhou Xialong's house. When they heard that the Le family was starting work, they went to Lejia helps.
Brother Zhou and Lao Meng made a plan years ago. On the seventh day of the lunar month, he would send Granny Li back to the village and he would go to work on the eighth day of the lunar month. On the eighth day of the lunar month, Lao Meng would send Li Xiaoyan to school. He would clean up the house in the afternoon. , did not go to Lejia.
Li Xiaoyan thought that there was a group of leaders in the Le family, and she wanted to follow the Zhou elders there, but she was afraid that the Le family girl would make her lose face on the spot, so she watched the Zhou elders go there in groups. Lejia.
She went to the third floor and paid attention secretly. When the leaders left, she ran to the roof of the building and crouched, secretly watching.
From a high position, you can clearly see the situation on the village road and hear the voices clearly.
She saw Zhou Tianming standing next to the Lejia girl, seeing off guests together.
The group of people said goodbye to Miss Le politely, with a particularly humble tone.There was a hint of respect and flattery in his words.
Li Xiaoyan was particularly warm when she heard the group of people shaking hands with Zhou Tianming and saying goodbye. She said a series of good words, such as the Zhou family Qilin, a promising young man, a top student in a prestigious school, with a bright future.
Listening to the leaders repeatedly asking the Le family to stay before seeing them off, they walked a few meters away and then turned back to ask the host to stay, not to mention how polite and respectful they were to the Le family girl.
The farewell scene on the village road was so reluctant, and Li Xiaoyan was so jealous of how polite the leaders were to the Lejia girls.
She bit her lip, unwilling to do so.
The group of people drifted away, and no more voices were heard. The Le family went back, and their faces were blown cold by the cold wind. Li Xiaoyan, who was hiding behind the fence, stood up. , quietly returned to the third floor, and sat in the room silently in a daze.
Village Chief Zhou sent the leaders to the village office building. Seeing the motorcade filing out, he returned to Lejia to help with light tasks such as mixing slurry and adding ingredients.
A tall building starts from the foundation. The foundation is very important. The pillars of the warehouse bear all the weight of the warehouse. Mr. Yi and others regard pouring the load-bearing pillars as a top priority and do a good job of pounding the soil. Be very careful and naturally a little slower.
It took another half of the afternoon to pour the load-bearing columns to the predetermined height.
Because the mud has a moderate humidity and is pounded very tightly, the steel frame can be used to lay the floor when it is poured to a predetermined height.
A group of monks took office again, laying steel bars, supporting formwork, and erecting scaffolding.
The little Loli acted as the commander-in-chief and tied the steel structure by herself. She was busy until dark when the steel structure was completed, except that the scaffolding was not all set up.
In the evening, except for the Zhou family and Liu Lu and Zhang Poluo who helped, there were no guests. In order to repay the "workers", Le Xiao's classmate made a full medicinal meal banquet to entertain everyone who helped.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, some young and middle-aged people in the Zhou family had to go out to work, and only a dozen people came to Lejia to help with the work. Village head Zhou and Zhou Papi’s son were scheduled to leave home on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so naturally they were not absent. .
The Cheng brothers and Chen Dalian finally took away the few relatives who were supposed to leave, and took the initiative to go to the Le family. Zhou Tianming also reported to his uncle's house early.
Everyone set up the scaffolding first, and then formally poured the warehouse floor.
The steel mesh on the floor surface is dense and difficult to pound, so it can only be poured with a cement paddle. The mud must be as high and thick as the cement slurry used to pour the building.
Of course, it still needs to be hammered down. First, fill the entire steel frame of the floor with mud, level it, make sure there are no hollows, and then pour a layer of thicker mud.For hard mud, use a roller to roll it around on the surface.
After rolling the floor surface round and round in the same way as using a road roller to build a road, roll it dozens of times and then pour a layer of mud.
