    After booking a hotel for dinner and solving the problem of drinks, the next thing we have to do is to contact the colleagues and leaders of the unit.  I first called the leader who took good care of me.

    "So-and-so (synonym for the leader's respectful name), this Saturday night, I am going to hold a thank-you dinner at a certain hotel, please come."

    "Okay, I'll definitely be there. The certain hotel should be in the urban area, right?" the leader asked with some uncertainty.

    "Yes!" I replied affirmatively.

    "Most of the people live in the town, I think you'd better hire a car to pick them up." The leader kindly reminded.

    "Well, I know. The first thing I called you was to ask you to call for a car. Doesn't your unit often charter cars? You should be more familiar with this than me."

    "Okay, no problem. Leave the car to me." The leader replied enthusiastically.

    "Thank you!" I said with some emotion.

    "You didn't seem to say the specific time just now, did you?" The leader finally realized something was wrong.

    "Yes, because I want to discuss with you, when should I set this time?" I asked very humbly.

    "It's not good if it's too early or too late. I think it's more appropriate to set the dinner at around 6:30. And for our colleagues, it's 5:40." The leader thought about it, and then suggested  road.

    "Okay, then I will inform them to go to the unit to take a bus at 5:40 in the afternoon." I was afraid that the leader would hang up the phone immediately after hearing my answer, so I hurriedly continued, "So-and-so (the name for the leader),  Some people in our unit refund the gift money for something, but some people don¡¯t refund the gift money. What should I do? Should I refund it or not?¡±

    "This is just a normal reciprocity. You are not a leader, so there is no need to withdraw the gift money. (I know, the leader said this in consideration of my family background. In fact, some ordinary colleagues with very rich families also have people return the gift money.  .) It depends on the situation. If you have normal contacts with you, then you don¡¯t need to refund; if you don¡¯t usually have any contacts but this time you paid the gift money, then you should return the gift money to them.¡±

    After listening to the leader's words, I was suddenly enlightened, so I said very gratefully: "Thank you! So-and-so (the name for the leader's respect), when the time comes, you must come!"

    "Of course. I will definitely go to support you!" After speaking, the leader hung up the phone.

    Next, I will inform my wife and sister of the confirmed time.  Of course, when they notify their leaders and colleagues, they only need to say that they will arrive at a certain hotel at 6:30 in the evening.  But, I can't.  I have to first distinguish which colleagues live in the town and which colleagues live in the urban area, and then I can call and notify them one by one by category.  For those who live in the town, I will inform them to come to the school by car at around 5:40 pm on Saturday; for those who live in the urban area, I will inform them to go directly to a certain hotel at 6:30 pm.

    On Saturday afternoon, my wife, children and I arrived downtown early.  Although it has already been booked, we still have to go there to confirm in advance.  When I came to the hotel, the service staff over there were also enthusiastic.  He led us to see the arrangement of the dining table first, so that we could rest assured.

    After confirming the dishes we ordered again, the first thing I thought of was to contact my wife's cousin.  After all, the drinks for this dinner are entirely dependent on him, and his wife's cousin is also the main wine companion for this dinner, but he is an important person who is absolutely indispensable.

    After receiving the call, my wife's cousin said he would come right away.  Sure enough, not long after, my cousin called and asked us to go down and help carry drinks.  So, my wife and children went downstairs together.

    My cousin came here with drinks in his own van.  There are as many as four or five boxes of liquor and drinks.  After the cousin unloaded the drinks, he parked the car in a space on the side of the road.  Then I moved several large boxes of drinks into the hotel with me.  Such physical work naturally does not require lesbians, so the wife is mainly responsible for watching the accompanying children.

    Take the elevator up to the third floor, and move the drinks into the banquet hall.  Look at the time, it's not even five o'clock.  So, my cousin started chatting with me.  In the process of chatting, I intentionally or unintentionally revealed my plan to let my cousin be the main wine companion.

    My cousin is also a good drinker, so after hearing about it, he readily agreed.  But, after a second thought, he said to me: "I came here by car, so I can't drink alcohol!"

    "What can I do?" I asked anxiously as soon as I heard it.

    "So-and-so (a nickname for my nickname), don't worry, it's actually?It¡¯s not something that can¡¯t be solved.  I'll just go back and change the car now.  "The cousin said with some disapproval.

    Immediately, my eyes brightened.  "Yes, yes, yes!" After the initial excitement, I knew that I had lost my composure, so I stabilized my emotions, and then said politely, "Cousin, then I will trouble you!"

    "What's the trouble! We're all from our own family, so it's not troublesome to do such a thing!" My cousin went downstairs while talking.

    Looking at the figure of my cousin leaving in a hurry, I couldn't help being a little moved.  Well, it's better to be a relative!  If it weren't for the cousin relationship with his wife, then the cousin would not be so enthusiastic to help.  Perhaps, this is the so-called "blood is thicker than water".  It is precisely because the Chinese pay more attention to family affection, so the family concept is relatively strong.  Now, with the further development of the market economy, large family businesses are emerging one after another in mainland China.  It is precisely because of the influence of the family concept that the distant cousin will spare no effort to help during the process of father's funeral;  Come to my house to give guidance on etiquette.  The so-called "never leave father and son soldiers in battle", influenced by Chinese culture, in the eyes of most Chinese people, the only people who can really be trusted may be the closest relatives.

    After the cousin left, we began to wait boredly.  However, the child seemed to be very interested in everything in the hotel, and he kept running back and forth excitedly by himself.  After getting excited, I would even go to the small stage in the hall to sing and dance.  Of course, my wife and I dare not let the child out of our sight no matter what.  Because, now that the world is getting worse, we often hear about children being hurt or missing.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
