Most of the red and white things in the village need "big photos". The "big picture", that is, the manager who oversees the red and white affairs, needs a person with high moral standing, clear mind, and familiar with the work process. In a word, it needs to be a sharp-tongued "old jianghu". Lao Zhuang's "big photo" used to be Uncle Dong and Grandpa Berlin, and now it is Uncle Dabao and Uncle Xiaowa. Happy things, set the date, and began to stretch. After four or five days away, I will invite the guests to sit down and discuss the details. Most of the guests are a team, the squad leader "Dazhao", divided into three temporary teams: "Finance Department", "Public Relations Department" and "Transportation Department". The "Finance Department" is in charge of collecting and managing meals, receiving gifts with gift lists, expenditures with bills, and clearing accounts one by one, without any ambiguity; the "Public Relations Department" is first a table and chair bench steamer porcelain, followed by a table to accompany guests, shouting (inviting guests) to send guests, sprinkling sugar and delivering cigarettes, a lot of hard work; the "Ministry of Transportation" manages vehicles, and the allocation of vehicles that should receive relatives and send passengers all needs their worries, and there must be no mistakes.
Wait until the dark child, and the guest steward will come in turn. Sitting together, drinking and chatting, from a few plates and bowls of meals to the portion of shopping, from the possibility of people to the number of tables, from the number of people at each table to the number of children, from the generations of the mother's family to the arrangement of the main seat, carefully pondering, slowly discussing, mainly based on old rules, but also absorbing new ideas. Grandpa Berlin always squinted his eyes, tilted his head back slightly, listened to his ears, draped his coat on his body, and when he had said enough, he said, "Okay, ×× responsible." "Often the clap is resolute and clean. A bunch of things, left and right, in an instant everyone has a burden, and someone does everything. Borrowing a table is a hard job, often led by Uncle Dabao. Uncle Dabao's surname is Chen, he is not tall, he has a big face and a big face, his legs are diligent and sharp, his thinking is clear, and he can sing opera with big strings, and he is a good hand in the propaganda team. He led a bunch of half-sized children, pulled a rack cart and rode a tricycle, borrowed from Zhuangdong to Zhuangxi, who had a table, what table, which one had chairs, how many, that was Bei'erqing. Borrowed, written to the book, ×× what kind of table, a few chairs, but also wrote in chalk to the table and chair, don't be wrong when the time comes, busy and happy.
Uncle Dabao's mouth is sweet and angry, and no one has resigned from any house he borrows. If there is something on the table, then hurry to clean up and help load the car; those who are sitting on a chair to eat, hurry up, "you move away and move away", and go to the door pier to eat by yourself, and the neighbors in the township are even more vivid at this time. Now most of the hospitality is in the hotel, and there will be no more tables and chairs. Even if you are not in the hotel, there are rental tables and stools porcelain, and even one-stop service. But a few decades ago, it was normal to borrow a table and a stool to borrow a house to entertain guests, and those who were borrowed also felt taken for granted. In the village, drinking and eating vegetables is noisy, but it is real and tasteful.
