Chapter 36 Lao Zhang's Philosophy(36)

The principal solved it, and Lao Zhang went to Sun Ba to discuss everything. "Teacher Zhang is here again! Daddy!" Xiaosan shouted from the courtyard.Sun Ba was thinking about the expenses of the wedding in the house and was busy welcoming Lao Zhang out.The two sat down in the house, and Sun Ba asked Xiao San to make tea. "How is Ba Ye's preparations? Tell me what I can do. You're welcome!" "How hard! The preparations are almost the same, only the sedan chair is left, and the restaurant is settled." "How to talk about the sedan chair?" "The red sedan chair looks bright!"

"I know the carriage civilization!" Little San was holding a large teapot askew, and Little Four was holding two teacups, and the two of them shouted one to one: "One, two, one." Come in.Old Zhang and Sun Ba stopped talking, and when Xiao San poured the tea, Sun Ba gave each of them a copper coin. "Go quickly, buy groundnuts to eat, you are not allowed to come in without barking!" "Okay! Come in after eating!" The two children ran out. "Carriage civilization? What if the horse is startled and the bride falls off, what should I do? What should I do?" Sun Ba really loves his wife!

"A horse won't be startled, if it is, I will sue the car dealer and ask him to pay 500 yuan, and make a small fortune!" Lao Zhang's philosophy will always impress Sun Ba, and this is an example. "Yes! That's right! Use a carriage! Which restaurant in the city would you say is good?" "For style, the Shichahai Huixian Hall; for spaciousness, the Qinghe Hall outside the back door. It's so spacious and bright that three or four families can handle business on the same day. Doing business together is called lively!" Lao Zhang glanced at Sun Ba, then quickly turned his eyes back to the tea bowl. "Zhang Xianzhu! You said it would be great for the two of us to work together!" Sun Ba felt that he was very sensitive and came up with such a good idea.

"It's great to join in the fun, but I have few relatives and friends, and you have many, so others will say that I am in your glory." Lao Zhang shook his head lightly. "Good friends don't take advantage of what they have! You have few friends and I have many, each prepares its own banquet! No one suffers!" People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Sun Ba's mind is so clear now, as if a flower was only broken by a spring breeze kiss The flowers are so bright and moist. "Otherwise, if you prepare dinner and my breakfast, there will naturally be fewer people coming in the morning, but ah, if there are too many people coming, I, Lao Zhang, will definitely not be ambiguous. This saves counting the number of people, you see how?"

"That's it! That's it! My late meal! You go and order the food, and I'll pay for it! I'm so stupid and lazy, how hard you work!" Sun Ba made a half bow to Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang paid back the money deeply. bow. "The carriage, I'll order the restaurant, what day will the work be done?" "That's your business. You are good at choosing a date for marriage. I don't know anything about it!" Sun Ba said with a smile, consciously speaking playfully. "As far as I know, April 27th is both an auspicious day and a Sunday. You know that everyone has a 'dinner appointment' on Sundays, and very few eat us specially. But they still have to come, because most people don't eat on Sundays. There is no excuse not to go to the yamen to do business. Eighth Master, don’t you think so?”

"That's right! But there is one level. I don't feel happy if my relatives and friends don't eat me! When I married your eighth sister-in-law, I remember slaughtering a total of 3927 big fat pigs. The goddaughter of my grandma's niece and daughter-in-law even ate me More than half a month!" "Baye, you have to know that this is a civilized thing, completely different from the old rituals!" "Really? That's it!" "I even have a new way to hire people!" "Since one thing is new, why not make everything new? The ancients said: 'A dog is new every day, and every day is new.' ① Dogs are still new, let alone people!" Sun Ba was very proud, and used a sentence from the book.

"That's right! Eighth Master, you're right! I think, if we invite relatives and friends, it will cost food and money, because the third grandma and fifth aunt are good at talking nonsense; listen, I'm really sulking, don't listen, It's just the quarrel. Why don't you give him a choice!" "How to choose?" "Listen, we only invite relatives and friends who have concubines, and those who have a wife will not entertain them. And those who have concubines must bring their concubines to attend that day. See if that's interesting! First of all, those who have concubines will have some Status, if we aspire to enter the political world, we naturally have to win over people with status; secondly, anyone who has a concubine always knows something about affairs, and will never be picky or stubborn. The newer we are, the more they will praise our civilization , flirtatious, with status! Isn’t Eight Master?” Lao Zhang took a sip of tea slowly. "It's good to be wrong, but where can we find so many concubines?" Sun Ba asked. "You always think about it, you don't need to know each other to get in touch with the reform now! Whether you are acquainted or not, you can be invited or invite someone. In this way, we will find out the membership records of the self-government associations in each city and find out who has a concubine. , of course they have status, sent out 200 red posts, and worried that no one would come! Besides, we post to them, but if they don't come, we have two of us in mind after all. They took care and said, "Look at these A self-governing man, how friendly, dignified, and dignified! 'Ba Ye! Let me say it for you:'Yes! Mr. Zhang! What a hard work!'"

Lao Zhang turned his thin mouth up and down gently, and chuckled softly, while Sun Ba covered his mouth and smiled flushed. The two laughed for a while, and Sun Ba lowered his head to think about everything Lao Zhang had said. ... You are right, Lao Zhang is a talent! "There's only one thing I'm worried about, Mr. Zhang!" Sun Ba said shyly, "What is Laolong's intention in not writing a marriage letter, and what evidence can he use without a marriage letter? I don't intend to run on you!" "Baye! Leave the matter to me. If you make a mistake, kick me away! Look here!" Old Zhang took out a piece of paper. "It's my marriage contract, you take it! No girl from the Long family can get married, and my old Zhang's little daughter-in-law is yours!" Lao Zhang put the paper in Sun Ba's arms. "That's not what I said," Sun Ba said bluntly, with a face ashamed as a June's big eggplant: "I'm too careful, and I definitely don't suspect that you are unreliable in your affairs! I can't take your marriage certificate!"

"Baye! Let's deal with the matter seriously," Lao Zhang became even more excited: "You take it! What are you talking about? If something goes wrong, I'd rather ask the funeral bearer to be buried in the cemetery than to be sorry for others!" He said The piece of paper was forced into Sun Ba's pocket.Sun Ba was in a dilemma, so he kept waving his hands. ... In the end, Lao Zhang won, and then said with a smile: "But if you lose my marriage certificate, the ducks in our Lao Zhang's hands will fly again! Not to mention the girl's worth, the tax stamp on the marriage certificate is Four corners!"

Lao Zhang sat for a long time and re-estimated the things that had been decided one by one.After everything was compromised, Lao Zhang bid farewell and went home. "Baye! So we don't need to send invitations to each other?" Lao Zhang went out of the gate and said to Sun Ba. "Of course not!" Sun Ba said. ………… The invitation that Lao Zhang sent later was: "...At four o'clock in the afternoon, please prepare dinner."
