Chapter 235: The Frustrated Group of Two [Today’s Chapter 2]
Liu Xiong's speech lasted for half an hour before the celebration began the next item.
The next item is the traditional exchange of gifts between the two parties.
Especially today's celebration, which is theoretically held for the engagement of Liu Xiong and Wang Xiaomeng.
In fact, it was Liu Neng's day to show off.
So, in order to make dad show off more perfectly.
Liu Xiong temporarily replaced the platinum diamond ring he had originally planned with some tacky gold jewelry.
When Wang Xiaomeng's face flushed and she was covered in golden glitter, the celebration came to a temporary end.
Now we enter the traditional activity - eating the banquet!
Don't think it's just an engagement.
In terms of procedure, there is no less step than getting married.
Liu Xiong and Wang Xiaomeng had just walked down from the stage and hadn't even had a bite of food yet.
Some villagers came up to toast.
Because there were "big things" to do later, and Liu Xiong himself was not very good at drinking.
But you can't let others do the toasting for you.
Liu Xiong came up with an idea.
He stopped the villager who was carrying the cup, then raised his hands towards the whole audience and pressed them down slightly.
Once again, all actions must be carried out under command.
Qi Santai was so happy to see this.
How great would it be if he had such strong appeal?
When holding a meeting, we will not always emphasize meeting order!
Liu Xiong raised his glass and shouted to everyone present.
"Fellow villagers! Today is the day when I, Liu Xiong, get engaged!
Everyone here is a guest, so how can I ask you to toast me?
Everyone, please take your seats first. Let me have a bite of food first. I, Liu Xiong, will toast at every table later!"
After Director Liu said this, the villagers who had rushed over to toast him had no choice but to smile and walk back.
No one dares not give Director Liu face, it works so well!
Thanks to the obedient villagers, Liu Xiong was able to have this brief period of relief.
Although Liu Xiong had various opportunistic methods used in later generations.
But when facing the simple villagers, he couldn't bear to use tricks like mixing mineral water with wine.
Although I changed the system from toasting myself with wine from each villager one by one to toasting villagers at each table, I can drink less.
But it’s better than not drinking and treating the villagers’ kindness as nonsense, right?
Qi Santai also nodded slightly at Liu Xiong's performance just now.
Liu Xiong's handling of the situation just now was very pleasing to Qi Santai...
..............................
At the same time, Xie Guangkun's home.
Wang Musheng and Xie Guangkun were drinking alone in the yard.
After all, Liu Xiong, Wang Xiaomeng, Xie Yongqiang and Wang Xiangxiu were all high school classmates.
Liu Xiong also made great efforts at Xie Yongqiang's wedding.
Even if Xie Guangkun tried to stop him, Xie Yongqiang still took Wang Xiangxiu to attend Liu Xiong's engagement ceremony today.
The key thing is...
Ever since Wang Xiangxiu entered the Xie family, Xie Yongqiang's status in the family has been significantly improved.
Xie Yongqiang, who never dared to contradict Xie Guangkun before, now bravely says "no".
As for his daughter-in-law Wang Xiangxiu, she was protected by her father Wang Changgui, and coupled with the previous miscarriage, Liu Xie Guangkun had suffered a lot.
If Wang Xiangxiu didn't get pregnant again, Xie Guangkun would always feel that he was at a disadvantage.
This is somewhat "indulgent" towards Wang Xiangxiu.
Only then were Xie Yongqiang and Wang Xiangxiu able to go to Liu Xiong's place.
"Uncle Guangkun, with such a big event happening today, don't you want to join in the fun?"
Wang Musheng took a sip of his wine and made a joke.
He discovered that Xie Guangkun was just a talker.
When it comes to practical work, he is nothing.
Of all the suggestions he had given himself, none of them had been useful.
Originally, he wanted to show off his financial strength in front of Chen Yannan.
Xie Guangkun insisted that he show his inner qualities.
What kind of connotation can he, a rich second-generation who is uneducated and uneducated, have?
As a result, he was constantly searching for the connotation.
He was depressed to find that Bai Qingming, whom Liu Xiong had brought back from another place, was actually very close to Chen Yannan.
As a rich second-generation, his chances are becoming increasingly slim.
Just like today.
At Liu Xiong's engagement celebration, Bai Qingming appeared beside Liu Xiong as the best man.
Chen Yannan stood next to Wang Xiaomeng as the bridesmaid.
Looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman from afar, Wang Musheng felt like vomiting blood.
Only then did he run to Xie Guangkun's house to drink alone.
"Mu Sheng, you probably don't know that Liu Neng and I have been at odds since we were young, right?
His son is getting engaged, why should I go? "
Xie Guangkun curled his lips and gave his own reasons.
"Uncle Guangkun, your Yongqiang is quite active, isn't he?"
When talking about his son, Xie Guangkun was also very angry.
But with Wang Xiangxiu around, he didn't dare to stop them from leaving.
This little girl holds in her hand a dowry that Wang Changgui brought for her... a cell phone!
The day before the wedding, Wang Changgui said something in front of Xie Guangkun.
"Girl, take the cell phone!
If anyone from the Xie family dares to bully you, call dad right away and I will bring people to beat him up!"
After saying this, Wang Changgui looked at Xie Guangkun meaningfully.
It’s as if Xie Guangkun, the head of the Xie family, would bully his own daughter!
He couldn't help but answer Wang Musheng's question.
After thinking about it, I came up with a sentence.
"Well! After all, there is a conflict between Liu Neng and me.
The younger generation has to leave, right? "
Hearing this, Wang Musheng took a bite of the dish and chuckled.
"Uncle Guangkun, I don't think you said this when I first came to the village, right?"
"Really? What did I say before?"
Of course, Xie Guangkun would not be caught by others.
There are no such things as tape recorders nowadays.
If he gets caught by others, he can just deny it.
For Wang Musheng, a guy with a screw loose in the brain, isn't it a piece of cake to manipulate him?
"You said before that the person you disliked most in the whole village was Liu Xiong.
Saying that he took your son's position as village director..."
Unexpectedly, this kid has such a good memory.
However, Xie Guangkun would not admit it and just laughed.
"Musheng, you must have remembered it wrongly. Uncle is so old, why would he have a quarrel with a younger person?"
