Chapter 649: Fickle Attitude
Miao Songguang was stunned, and he repeated it again dully.
"Oops!" Hua Zhiyi slapped his thigh anxiously and sighed: "Brother, do you know who this Li Yuanlang is?"
Miao Songguang replied in confusion: "Isn't he just the county magistrate? What's the fuss about?"
"Not only is he the county magistrate, he is also the son-in-law of Deputy Secretary Shui."
"Deputy Secretary Shui? Which Deputy Secretary Shui?" Miao Songguang didn't react for a moment, his brain was still in a foggy state.
"Thankfully you are still working in the province. Among the provincial leaders, there is no one named Shui."
Inspired by Hua Zhiyi, Miao Songguang couldn't help blurting out and exclaimed: "You mean the province..."
"Yes, third child." Hua Zhiyi showed three fingers and waved them again and again in front of Miao Songguang's eyes.
"Ah!" This time, it was Miao Songguang's turn to be dumbfounded.
God, I heard from my sister that Li Yuanlang ran back and forth to the sixth floor three times carrying things back and forth. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely and almost collapsed.
The son-in-law of the dignified deputy secretary Shui was used as a porter by his sister.
If this caused him displeasure, and if he reported it to his father-in-law, all he had to do was make a phone call to their director, and Miao Songguang would have to walk around in pain.
Deputy Secretary Shui also wears an official hat. He is nothing in the eyes of others as a small division chief, but to the director, he is the existence of God, and his words are very useful.
Miao Songguang didn't dare to think about it anymore and regretted it too much. This time it was his turn to sweat, but it was just a cold sweat.
Through Hua Zhiyi, he finally found out Li Yuanlang's mobile phone number and called immediately. His head, which was originally high and could not see the ground, lowered his head instantly. His tone was full of compliments, and he called "you" one after another, for fear that
Li Yuanlang was annoyed.
At this time, Li Yuanlang was lying in the tub taking a hot bath.
It had been a long time since he had exercised, and this time the porter was so exhausted that his whole body fell apart and his back ached.
But at this moment, Miao Songguang's apology call came in. Li Yuanlang didn't care about it and just treated it as a workout.
But when he thought about it carefully, he had to take advantage of Miao Songguang's eagerness to please him, otherwise all this hard work would be in vain.
So, he pretended to be unhappy and said: "Miao Chu, I don't have anything to do with it. I'm just worried that if this matter gets spread, my father-in-law will lose his face. You know, he has a bad personality. It's okay to annoy me. But if you offend him, tsk tsk...
…”
The more he said this, the more nervous Miao Songguang became, sweat dripping down his face.
"County Magistrate Li, please speak for me more often in front of Deputy Secretary Shui. I, Mr. Miao, will be very grateful."
"That's it..." Li Yuanlang deliberately lengthened his voice and pretended to be embarrassed.
Miao Songguang understood immediately and said flatteringly: "Don't worry, County Magistrate Li, I will try my best to help you with your report."
This is the effect you want!
Li Yuanlang was secretly happy. It seemed that the smelly sweat was meaningful and worth it.
After taking a shower, while chatting with his wife, Li Yuanlang learned that Shui Qingzhang had called the capital and asked them both to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year.
He has already informed Huang Liwei to book the flight tickets. Not only the three of them, but also Xiao Guyu and the nanny are going.
"Dad didn't say why? Why are you so anxious?"
Li Yuanlang felt that there must be something going on here.
"I didn't say it. But I mentioned it specifically to you, asking you to go there anyway, saying that this was not his intention, but Uncle Cai's."
"Uncle Cai is back?" Li Yuanlang was even more surprised.
"Yes, Uncle Cai has been back for a few days. In fact, it was Uncle Cai's intention to let us go back to celebrate the New Year." Shui Tingyue explained.
Li Yuanlang pondered for a moment, but still shook his head, "Honey, even if Uncle Cai wants to go, I won't go because I don't want to go."
"What's that for?" Shui Tingyue was puzzled, "The whole family is sitting together, but you are missing, how will others see it..."
Alas, Li Yuanlang felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't tell his wife about his suffering.
In the Gu family, Shui Tingyue and her uncles and cousins are all related by blood, even little Guyu is the same, only he, Li Yuanlang, is not.
Naturally, he became a marginalized figure who was not taken seriously.
The most important thing is that he has a civilian background and is never recognized by the high-ranking family.
Even without the incident of Gu Chuang, Li Yuanlang always felt that something was missing when he was with this family.
It's boring, not exciting at all.
It's rare that I didn't see Gu Hongyan tonight. Shui Tingyue said that she went out after answering a phone call and she hasn't come back yet. She must have some official business.
It's the end of the year, and Gu Hongyan is also the vice president of the Provincial Construction Bank, so it is inevitable to welcome him to the party.
Without her worries, Li Yuanlang could still take the opportunity to chat with his wife, but he did not dare to do any excessive intimacy.
For the sake of his wife's safety, Li Yuanlang could only endure it.
My wife and I had dinner together. It’s been a long time since we were together in this world of two. For the two of us, you pick up the food for me and I serve the soup for you. It feels like you’re in love.
Just after finishing his meal, Li Yuanlang was about to get up and put away the dishes when there was a sound on the door and Gu Hongyan hurried in.
Li Yuanlang accidentally discovered that his mother-in-law's eyes were red and she seemed to have just cried.
Shui Tingyue also saw it and hurriedly greeted her mother and asked her what was wrong.
"It's okay." Gu Hongyan was not in a high mood. The more he said it was okay, it must be something. It seemed to be quite big.
When she took off her coat and put on her shoes, she asked her daughter: "Have you packed your things? We have an early flight tomorrow, so don't delay things." While speaking, she deliberately glanced at Li Yuanlang.
"Mom, I don't plan to go to Yuen Long, and I won't go either. Look at my body, and Gu Yu..."
Shui Tingyue told the actual situation. Unexpectedly, Gu Hongyan's eyes suddenly stood up and she got angry, "Didn't your father tell you that no one can be absent? Even if he is stabbed, he must be sent back to me. No one can be missing."
Hearing his mother-in-law's domineering tone again, Li Yuanlang felt his ears heat up, frowned, and went upstairs without saying a word to tease his son.
I can't afford to offend you, I can afford to hide.
As for the conversation between mother and daughter downstairs, he didn't bother to listen, nor did he want to listen.
While playing with his son, there was a knock on the door. Li Yuanlang felt strange. It must be his wife. She could come in whenever she wanted. Why was she so polite?
"Come in, the door is unlocked." Li Yuanlang didn't even look at him, his eyes were still on Xiao Guyu's moving hands and feet.
"Son, smile, hahaha!"
No, he felt someone walking next to him. It wasn't his wife's scent. When he looked closely, it was his mother-in-law Gu Hongyan.
The key is that the expression on her face is the first time ever that she has seen kindness towards her.
Li Yuanlang was a little confused.
After being treated coldly and coldly by his mother-in-law for a long time, Li Yuanlang found it difficult to adapt to her sudden kindness to him.
"Yuen Long, mom wants to talk to you alone about something."
Li Yuanlang said: "You go ahead and I'll listen."
"It's better not to talk here. I'll go to your father's study and talk there." After that, Gu Hongyan left first.
Seeing her solemn expression, Li Yuanlang suddenly had a strange intuition.
On the way to the study, he happened to meet his wife. Li Yuanlang mentioned that Gu Hongyan wanted to talk to him alone.
"You go ahead." Shui Tingyue nodded.
"You're not going?"
"Mom is talking to you alone and doesn't want me to be there."
Li Yuanlang was full of suspicion, so when he walked into the study, Gu Hongyan made an exception and took out Shui Qingzhang's private collection of cigarettes to entertain Li Yuanlang.
"You go ahead and smoke it, your father used to get this from the old man, but it's a pity that it doesn't exist anymore..."
With a long sigh, Gu Hongyan's eye circles turned red.
During the festive season, I miss my loved ones even more. At the end of the year, I think about how I was talking and laughing with the old man last year. Even the voice and smile of my niece Gu Liuyan flash before my eyes.
Nowadays, yin and yang are separated, Gu Hongyan feels emotional when he touches the scenery, and his nose becomes sore.
She quickly pulled out a few tissues, wiped the corners of her eyes, adjusted herself, and said slowly: "Yuen Long, I was in a bad mood yesterday and said unpleasant words, which hurt you. I apologize to you."
Li Yuanlang is a man who takes the soft side rather than the hard side. No matter what, the other party is his mother-in-law, his wife's mother, his son's grandma, and his elder.
He values family affection and understands the principle of respecting children when they grow up.
Li Yuanlang accepted Gu Hongyan's sudden apology and stated that he had done something wrong and hoped that Gu Hongyan would understand.
