Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 455: Toasting

Under the gaze of the crowd, Wang Hongtao stepped forward and pushed the door open.

In the center of the main room was an octagonal table with a red cloth on it. On it were a big red washbasin, towel, red-shelled thermos, and a large plate of red peanut popcorn and other wedding fruits in the middle. The red color looked very festive.

After a while, Wang Hongtao came out of the house leading Qin Jingru.

Wang Hongtao on the left is wearing a worker's blue Zhongshan suit with a big red flower on his chest, looking very energetic.

Qin Jingru, wearing a red flowered shirt and a red veil on her head, walked closely on the right side of Wang Hongtao.

Following closely behind were He Yushui and Qin's eldest sister-in-law. He Yushui still couldn't refuse Qin Jingru's invitation, but she managed to persuade Qin's eldest sister-in-law to go with her so that it wouldn't seem out of place.

On the other side, Qin Huairu was also dressed brightly and beautifully today, wearing a red dress. She was extremely beautiful, but no one dared to get close to her. After all, she was a widow, and if she followed too closely, she would be disliked.

Before the group even walked out of the door, a group of children had already blocked the door, stretching out their little hands to ask for auspicious fruits and saying auspicious words.

Wang Hongtao turned around and grabbed a handful of fruit from the tray in He Yushui's hand, then threw it behind the children: "Grab the wedding fruit!"

The children immediately scattered and rushed towards the wedding fruits on the ground. Only Banggeng shouted as if his territory was robbed: "Don't grab it, this is my uncle-in-law's, it's mine, you are not allowed to grab it!"

It caused a burst of laughter.

……

"Wow, Xiao Wang is really dressed properly today. He is wearing a straight Zhongshan suit, and with this hairstyle, he is really unique!"

"Yeah, hey, you see, Xu Damao is about the same height, why do they look so ugly when they stand next to each other?"

Xu Damao, who was standing by, looked very unhappy when he heard this. He said, "If you want to praise Lao Wang, then praise Lao Wang. Why are you stepping on me?"

Qin Huairu, who was standing by, was full of envy. At this moment, she only hated that the person standing next to Wang Hongtao was not herself. If there was really no other choice, she could at least give up the position of Yu Shui to her.

She even thought that if Wang Hongtao agreed to marry her, she would give up all the Jia family's tricks!

Sun Xiaoying, who was standing behind the crowd, was also very excited. She thought, this is what marriage is. What was the name of marrying Sha Zhu? A neighbor gave her peanuts and sunflower seeds for a penny, and after hearing a few nice words, it was gone?

He Yushui stood behind Qin Jingru, keeping an eye on Wang Hongtao. She had already put herself in the role of Qin Jingru, imagining in her mind that the person Wang Hongtao was marrying at that moment was herself.

His eyes are burning, his eyebrows are affectionate, and the corners of his mouth are upturned.

Next comes the singing and swearing, as well as the recitation content, which we will not show because it is easy to violate the rules.

After the witness Li Huaide finished his speech, he announced: "I declare that from today on, Mr. Wang Hongtao and Ms. Qin Jingru are officially married. Let us wish them to respect each other and live in harmony in the days to come. What else??!!"

"Have a baby soon!"

The people below shouted in unison.

"Hahaha…."

As everyone laughed, Wang Hongtao picked up the whole plate of wedding fruits and threw them to everyone.

All of a sudden, adults and children alike were scrambling for the food, creating a chaotic scene.

"Let's not waste any more time and eat." Wang Hongtao shouted loudly.

Then Wang Hongtao and Qin Jingru toasted in the front, and Wang Hongbin and He Yushui followed behind, holding trays with cigarettes and wedding fruits on them, and distributed them along the way.

"Come, let's toast to the groom together."

Li Huaide naturally took the lead and was the first to raise his glass.

"Thank you Director Li for coming today. Xiao Wang's wedding has become more prestigious!"

"Director Li, I have to toast you alone!" Wang Hongtao took the wine glass and drank it all.

"What? Just because Director Li gave you a raise, I, Zhang Kaishan, feel embarrassed, right?" The speaker was Director Zhang from the supply and marketing cooperative. Although he had a fierce face, he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Director Zhang, what are you talking about? Director Li's arrival has made our humble home more glorious. Your arrival is the icing on the cake!"

"I've done it, please feel free to do as you please!" Wang Hongtao also drank it all in one gulp, then turned the glass upside down and signaled to Director Zhang.

"Xiao Wang is really a straightforward person, I like him!" Director Zhang also drank it all in one gulp, and then greeted He Yushui behind him:

"Accountant He, right? Not bad, not bad!"

Stationmaster Xu also stood up and asked with a smile: "Director Zhang's name is icing on the cake, so what should I call this? Come up with a word quickly, don't be perfunctory!"

"Stationmaster Xu, this is really difficult for me. I am not well educated, and I have racked my brains to come up with these two words. So, how about I show you a special skill today?"

"What special skill?" Stationmaster Xu suddenly became interested.

Wang Hongtao squatted down and took out a bottle of beer from under the table, opened it and poured it into an enamel cup, then tilted his neck back and poured it into his throat (note, it was the throat, not the mouth), he finished pouring it in two seconds, and then drank it in one gulp.

Everyone around stared with eyes wide open in astonishment.

Li Huaide: "Little Wang, when did you actually hide this trick? Even I didn't know it!"

"Sure, kid!"

"No, you have to show off here too!"

Wang Hongtao frowned and put on a bitter face: "Director Li, what else can I do if you say so? I'll just show off!"

"But Director Li, you have to drink one more cup with me, otherwise I won't drink this wine!"

"Okay, okay, you dare to attack my army! I don't believe that so many people can't defeat you!" Li Huaide laughed in silence.

"Dry!"

“gun, gun, gun….”

……

All the people sitting at Li Huaide's table were the heads of various units, as well as people from Qin Jingru's mother's family. Wang Hongtao naturally did not miss any of them. He either drank a bottle of beer or a glass of white wine, all of which he drank down to the point of full stomach.

At last, he poured another big glass: "Everyone here is either Xiao Wang's leader or an elder. You all come to support Xiao Wang today because you think highly of me. I, Wang Hongtao, have nothing to say. If you need me in the future, just let me know. I will never say no!"

Then he drank it all again.

"Everyone, enjoy your meals and drinks. I have to go to other tables first. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. Please forgive me."

"it is good!"

"Xiao Wang, just go ahead and don't worry. I'll take care of things for you here!" Li Huaide agreed with a smile.

If you are polite, the atmosphere will naturally be harmonious.

When Wang Hongtao sat at the next table, he was obviously much more relaxed. The people sitting at this table were all section chiefs and workshop directors. Even if there were some who were of higher rank than Wang Hongtao, the difference was not far off.

However, Wang Hongtao was still very considerate and toasted everyone with a glass, but when he drank, he just put the wine into the space.

There are about 20 people at two tables, so even if it's half a liang per cup, it would take at least a jin of white wine to finish it.

Seeing Wang Hongtao drinking one glass of wine each and emptying it, Chief Liao of the Security Department could not help but become suspicious. He snatched the glass and sipped: Damn! It's really white wine!

I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Brother, you are awesome!"

At this time, a few people who didn't believe it came over and smelled the wine bottle: this rich aroma is indeed white wine!

I also have a deeper understanding of Wang Hongtao's character.

People who like to drink have a common problem. They think that people who drink readily must have good character. However, they don’t think that Wang Hongtao is cheating, but they just can’t find out.

"Abin, come and have a drink with Chief Liao!"

Wang Hongbin is now the team leader of the security department. Naturally, he has to express his appreciation when he meets the real section chief.

Wang Hongbin was also very honest. He directly changed to a large cup and poured it: "Chief Liao, I toast to you!"

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp. He is the kind of man who is ruthless and doesn't talk much.

"Okay!" Liao Youzhi gave him a courtesy and accompanied him.
