Chapter 253 "Dead Water"(1/2)
A group of people left the Poetry Association and went to a hotel next door.
Through Zhao Liren's introduction, Lin Li knew that everyone from the Poetry Association and even the Federation of Literary and Art Circles would come to this hotel for dinner.
The hotel is not a good hotel, but the second floor can be equipped with seven or eight tables. At this time, there were three tables, which looked very empty.
Needless to think about Lin Li, we know that the people from the Poetry Association must come to eat and drink often, and there is a lot of oil and water, which is enough for the boss to remove other dining tables for them.
After all, today is neither New Year nor Festival, and Friday night is not the peak of dining. The first floor is enough to deal with it, so the hotel owner is naturally willing to give them treatment on the entire floor.
There were two waiters standing upstairs standing by and hosting at any time.
After Lin Li and others arrived, they waited for a while and a few more strangers came.
Zhao Liren pulled Lin Li to introduce him. They were all leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Those people were very polite when they met Lin Li, but Lin Li became a little cold.
The hotel dishes were obviously ordered and prepared, and everyone started serving them together.
Lin Li and Zhao Liren followed several leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles at a table, while the others sat at the other two tables, just in full.
After the dishes were served, Lin Li found that the dishes on his table were good, including chicken, duck, fish and meat. However, if calculated according to the standard of 20,000 to 30,000 tables, the dishes would be very average. The other two tables were much smaller than the table, which was a little cold.
Lin Li even suspected that the hotel had kickbacks, otherwise it would be impossible for them to say nothing if the hotel was so bad. It would be too unreasonable to come here often.
Thinking of this, Lin Li became disappointed again.
Since joining the Poetry Association today, Lin Li has no time to feel that he has entered the Poetry Association. These people do not look like poets at all, but more like businessmen.
Flattery and self-protection. They just regard this as an ordinary job that is a mess, and there is no pride or ambition of a literati.
During the dinner, everyone started drinking. Lin Li didn't drink, and it was hard for those people to persuade them, so they took care of them.
These people were heartbroken when they spoke during the day, but they were not vague when they were drinking. Lin Li found that these people were very good at drinking. I don’t know if they were born with good alcohol tolerance or were trained after entering the Poetry Association.
After a while, the other two tables began to toast Lin Li's table.
After all, Lin Li sits at the table with leaders, and those people still know some etiquette.
"President Gao, come and I respect you... I've done it, you can do it!"
"President Yang, come on, I've done it, you can do it!"
"President Zhao, I respect you!"
"President Lin, I respect you. You don't have to drink, I'll do it!"
…………
After the two tables of people were drinking, they were all a little drunk.
Everyone had enough food and drink, so President Gao of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles suggested: "Everyone is happy today. How about I suggest you write poetry to cheer up?"
When the leader made a speech, everyone naturally agreed, and it seems that such programs to write poems to entertain themselves on weekdays have been staged.
Everyone was drinking, and it seemed that their nature began to be revealed, and they lost the previous cautious feeling.
Chen Hualiang picked up the wine glass and said first: "Let's come first, the leaders come last, otherwise we will be embarrassed to read it again after you finish reading the poem."
Another person said: "Yes, yes, let's come first, this is called throwing bricks and attracting jade!"
President Gao smiled and said, "Okay, then our President Lin will come at the end. We all know that President Lin's poems are unique!"
"Yes, yes, President Lin comes at the end, otherwise we will be embarrassed to read it."
Lin Li's poems seem to be even more famous than his reputation.
Lin Li glanced at the drunken people and said, "Okay, I really want to hear your poems."
Chen Hualiang smiled and said, "Then I will show my ugly words first!"
Everyone applauded, and many of them were obviously drunk.
Chen Hualiang walked around the table with a glass of wine for a while, and slowly recited:
I don't want to thank the poor
Although poverty has taught me to be thrifty
I don't want to thank the hardship either
Even if the hardships make me grow
I don't want to thank those who look down on me
Even if you make me stronger
I'm now
I just want to thank the Poetry Association and all the leaders
Let me be helpless
Full of power
Move forward bravely
After Chen Hualiang finished reading it, he laughed and said, "I'm laughing, everyone, I'll do it temporarily, everyone will forgive me."
Everyone shouted ok, Lin Li smiled and thought to himself that Chen Hualiang said that it was really ugly, and it was rare to be honest once.
Chen Hualiang heard the crowd applauding, thanked everyone with embarrassment, and then said, "Fang Yongjian, you have a song!"
The man named Fang Yongjian in the Poetry Association stood up with a smile and said, "Hualiang, you are asking me to be a green leaf for you. Okay, I will make you successful."
After saying that, Fang Yongjian also thought for a while, and then started to recite.
If you meet
A distance of snow is needed
I'm willing to climb over Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
If you know each other
Need a chat
I'm willing to stay up all night
If thankful
Need a thousand words
I'm willing to say all the praises of the whole world
President Gao
It was you who let me know that the world is so wonderful
It was you who made me understand how small I was
Thank you for meeting, and you will have no regrets in this life!
Fang Yongjian was applauding again after the reading. President Gao from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's exaggerating."
The words are words of blame, but the tone cannot hide the happiness.
Fang Yongjian said excitedly: "It's not an exaggeration, it's all from the heart."
Lin Li said: "It's indeed plain language."
Everyone didn't realize that Lin Li was saying that this was not a poem. They thought Lin Li had also integrated into it, but instead smiled even more happily.
Seeing that Lin Li had also integrated, Ye Shengqiang had eaten three glasses of wine and became bolder, and said, "I'll come, I'll come."
Everyone calmed down and listened to Ye Shengqiang.
Ye Shengqiang looked at Lin Li, cleared his throat, and said with emotion:
First time know
What is a beauty like
It's the first time I know
The true meaning of life
First time know
Life is worth loving
First time know
The future is worth looking forward to
First time know
The beauty of poetry is so meticulous
It's the first time I know
There are too many poets better than I wrote
...
ah
