"The jar of wine I brought up first was for Dad to drink. It has the effect of tonifying the body and replenishing Qi. It should be half a tael a day, and no more than one tael at most.
The jar I brought up from the back is for you, Mom, to drink. Likewise, no more than one tael per day.
This wine can also be drunk by the second sister and sister-in-law. It can replenish blood, replenish necessary energy for the body, beautify the skin, and delay aging.
The eldest brother and second brother-in-law brought up the jar of medicated wine, which is for you two to drink to strengthen your body and warm your liver and kidneys." Zhang Junping smiled and explained the different effects of the three jars of wine.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Upon hearing this, Qiu Jianguo grinned and patted Zhang Junping on the shoulder.
"Why are you so polite as a family? Brother, I have to remind you that medicinal wine has the word "medicine" in it after all, so you can't drink too much, otherwise it will harm your body instead of protecting your body." Zhang Junping reminded with a smile.
"I know, I know! Who would want to drink more of this stuff!"
"It's good to know that there are some medicinal materials in it that are not so easy to get! Now the international community has begun to protect them, and in a few years the country will definitely enact laws to protect them.
At that time, if you want to do this again, it will be a crime." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Third sister, is this third brother-in-law?" At this time, a woman in military uniform asked.
"By the way! Let me introduce to you, this is my little sister Lingling, who is in the army art troupe! I won't tell you which army it is!" Qiu Jianguo patted Zhang Junping on the shoulder and introduced.
"Third brother-in-law, don't listen to elder brother's nonsense. I am a singer in the military and political song and dance troupe." Qiu Wenling said calmly and generously.
Zhang Junping discovered that the three Qiu Wenyan sisters had perfectly inherited the advantages of their mother-in-law and their father-in-law. Each of them had a tall and plump figure, and a sense of grandeur in their beauty.
Qiu Wenling added to her heroic demeanor as a soldier.
Soldiers of this era, even artistic soldiers such as song and dance troupes, need to undergo certain military training. Because they have to go to the company to perform condolences, they have a strong military temperament.
Unlike later, when art soldiers don't wear military uniforms, they don't look like soldiers, and when they wear military uniforms, they don't look like soldiers.
He greeted me with a busy smile, "Hello Lingling! I've heard of you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come back today, and you didn't prepare any gifts."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Qiu Wenling quickly waved her hands.
"That won't work. You are the youngest sister in the family. It's the New Year when we meet for the first time, so we must give gifts." Zhang Junping said as he took the briefcase.
There are a lot of gifts in his museum space, so it’s no problem to just pick one out as a gift.
However, what he considered was that this gift should not be given randomly and must be liked by his sister-in-law.
Therefore, Zhang Junping took the bag very slowly, just thinking about what to give.
"Lingling, do you sing popular or bel canto?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"In layman terms, third brother-in-law also knows music?"
“Know a thing or two!
I really haven't prepared anything. Since you sing popular songs, let me give you a military camp ballad!" Zhang Junping took out his notebook and pen and said to his sister-in-law with a smile.
I secretly said in my heart: I'm sorry, Xiao Yan, I'll lend you your military song. If we meet again in the future, I'll treat you to a drink.
"Send me a military ballad?" Qiu Wenling looked at Zhang Junping in disbelief.
My third brother-in-law, whom I just met, is so interesting. This is the first time I heard that as a meeting gift, people give ballads from the military camp.
Singing a song is considered a greeting gift?
Okay, I will give him a gift in return later.
Qiu Wenling thought secretly in her heart.
Zhang Junping took the pen and wrote quickly in his notebook. He first wrote the lyrics, then sang silently in his mind and marked the lyrics.
After finishing writing, Zhang Junping tore off the paper and handed it to Qiu Wenling, "Here! Lingling, see if you like this song."
Qiu Wenling took the piece of paper with a look of disbelief on her face, but she was muttering in her heart: When you said you wanted to give me a song, did you just copy the lyrics and give it to me?
In Qiu Wenling's view, song creation is a very serious matter that requires a large amount of material. The lyrics must be constantly revised before they are finally finalized and then arranged.
Therefore, she didn't even think about it. What Zhang Junping gave her was an original new song.
"Little White Poplar?" Qiu Wenling was stunned for a moment. As a pillar of the military and political song and dance troupe, Qiu Wenling was very familiar with military songs, but she had never heard of this song. She asked curiously: "Third brother-in-law, this song I
Why haven’t you heard of it? You couldn’t have created it, right?”
"What's wrong? It's not just about composing a song, what else? Your brother-in-law knows a lot of things!" Qiu Wenyan said proudly.
"I went to the Northeast some time ago and saw a neat row of poplar trees on the border, as if a famous soldier was standing guard.
So I got inspired and wrote it." Zhang Junping explained with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Junping say that it was created before, Qiu Wenling could accept it. If it were created on the spot, it would be really shocking.
Looking at the lyrics and music score in her hand, Qiu Wenling couldn't help humming: A small poplar tree; growing beside the outpost; with deep roots and strong stems; watching over northern Xinjiang...
Qiu Wenling's voice is crisp and bright, and she has a unique feeling when singing.
Good to hear.
"Lingling, this song is so nice! Sing it again!" Qiu Wenyu demanded.
"Yes, yes! Lingling, please sing it again, I like it! This song makes you feel good!"
After humming once, Qiu Wenling had an understanding of the song, and when she sang it the second time, she let go.
The clear and loud singing voice echoed in the room.
Everyone was immersed in Qiu Wenling's singing.
After singing it again, Qiu Wenling had stars in her eyes and said to Zhang Junping with admiration: "Third brother-in-law, you are so talented!
This song has an atmospheric tune and simple lyrics.
Thank you third brother-in-law, I like this gift so much!"
"Haha, as long as you like it! I really haven't prepared any other gifts.
I can only give this to you as a gift!
Whatever gift you like, my third brother-in-law will definitely give you another gift when you come back." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"No, this is the best gift! Just in time, after the New Year, we are going to Northern Xinjiang to express condolences." Qiu Wenling smiled, folded the piece of paper, put it into her jacket pocket, and then patted it gently to express her appreciation for the gift.
of cherishment.
This shot immediately caused a wave of ups and downs.
Zhang Junping quickly turned his head and looked aside.
"Xiao Zhang, I didn't expect you to be so talented and able to write songs and arrange music." Mother Qiu praised with a smile.
She found that this son-in-law would give her some surprises every time they met.
"Brother-in-law, you are so talented! I think you should join an art troupe or a song and dance troupe and become an arranger.
You are really unqualified to work in a painting shop." Qiu Jianguo patted Zhang Junping on the shoulder and said.
"The level of this song is so high, I think it's no problem to become a professor at the Conservatory of Music." Qiu Wenyu praised.
Qiu Wenyan looked at Zhang Junping with eyes full of love.
Zhang Junping was a little embarrassed by the praise and quickly changed the subject, "Mom, isn't Wenlong back yet?"
Zhang Junping was asking about his brother-in-law, who is twins with his sister-in-law Qiu Wenling.
The elder sister is called Wen Ling and the younger brother is called Wen Long. Together they are Linglong.
My brother-in-law went to the countryside as an educated youth and has not come back yet.
Ordinarily, with the Qiu family's network of connections, Qiu Wenlong should have come back long ago. I don't know what delayed him.
In other words, the father-in-law did not use his connections at all, leaving Qiu Wenlong alone to find a way to return to the city.
Don't tell me, my father-in-law can do such a thing.
It is said that boys need training.
There are five brothers and sisters in the Qiu family. Except for Qiu Wenyan who went to college, Qiu's mother found a relationship, and the others all made their own way.
Including Zhang Junping, who was quickly promoted from clerk to the current deputy director level.
It seems that he was influenced by Father Qiu.
However, the deputy department had been decided a long time ago. Xu Shaomin was promoted to deputy department, the deputy department was promoted to full position, and he took over as deputy department.
Then the deputy subject was promoted to the main subject, which he obtained with real results.
The first foreign investment in China, more than a dozen joint venture factories, are all Zhang Junping's achievements.
No one can obliterate him, and improving his academic qualifications is simply not enough to reward him.
The deputy office was indeed run by Father Qiu.
But Qiu’s father’s starting point was to earn foreign exchange for the country.
Therefore, it is normal for the father-in-law, who is dedicated to serving his father-in-law, not to help his brother-in-law go through the formalities for returning to the city.
Although anyone who encounters such an elder will feel uncomfortable and emotionally unable to accept it.
But such a person, a leading cadre, is definitely worthy of respect.
The country needs such cadres. The more such cadres, the better the country will be.
In fact, the Qiu brothers and sisters have long been used to it and don't find it difficult to accept it anymore.
"Last time Xiaolong wrote that the procedures have been completed, and it should arrive in the next two days." Mother Qiu said with a smile.
With a happy smile on his face.
The little son is finally coming back, and the mother is of course extremely happy.
"By the way, Mom! Is there anything else you're missing at home? I still have some channels here. Just tell me what you're missing and I'll buy it.
This year, Xiaolong is also back, let’s have a good reunion year.” Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"It's lacking! Brother-in-law, look at it, bear paws, tiger meat, abalone, sea cucumbers, lobsters, crabs, etc., just bring them home.
If we can’t eat it at home, I’ll take it to my father-in-law.” Qiu Jianguo put his arm around Zhang Junping’s shoulders and said with a smile.
"Go! Is there anyone like you who can be a big brother? You take the things your brother-in-law brings to your father-in-law.
Thank you for speaking out!" Qiu's mother smiled and slapped Qiu Jianguo.
"Mom, I am telling the truth! My brother-in-law is not short of money anyway!
Brother-in-law, right?" Qiu Jianguo said with a nonchalant smile.
"Brother, you are making things difficult for me.
It’s already here, where do you want me to get you bear paws and tiger meat?
Sea cucumbers, abalones, lobsters, crabs, and other marine fish are no problem.
I'll think of a way to get some back tomorrow." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Xiao Zhang, don't listen to your elder brother. The most important thing during the New Year is for the family to be reunited. There is no need to spend that unjust money." Qiu's mother quickly spoke and stopped her.
"Mom, you are right. The most important thing when a family is together is to be happy. It doesn't matter how much money you spend." Zhang Junping followed his mother-in-law's words and said.
After talking for a while, Qiu's mother took her daughter-in-law and daughter to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the evening.
Zhang Junping, Qiu Jianguo, and Ma Mingchen were talking in the living room.
"Second brother-in-law, I heard that you have been admitted to the majors! Congratulations!" Zhang Junping took out his cigarette and handed a cigarette to Qiu Jianguo and Ma Mingchen.
Ma Mingchen has also just been promoted to the next level and became deputy director of the policy research office of the district government.
"Xiao Zhang, the second brother-in-law didn't offend you, did he?
You have just been promoted to the rank of deputy director. Come and congratulate me on my promotion to the rank of full-time major.
Are you mocking me or attacking me?" Ma Mingchen took the cigarette and said resentfully.
"Second brother-in-law, this is different! The nature of our units is different, and the gold content of our levels is also different.
You work in the government, and as a full-time graduate, you are pure gold.
I am an enterprise, and at the deputy director level, I am worth 14K gold at best.
I will count on my second brother-in-law to be my backer in the future!" Zhang Junping explained with a smile.
After Zhang Junping explained this, Ma Mingchen's face suddenly looked much better and his mood improved.
There is no way, Zhang Junping is too outstanding and eye-catching.
With such a brother-in-law, Ma Mingchen was under great pressure.
In the living room just now, Zhang Junping was the protagonist, everyone's focus was on Zhang Junping, and he, Ma Mingchen, was a transparent supporting role.
Anyone else would feel uncomfortable.
"Yes, Xiao Zhang is right. Our three brothers, the military, government and businessmen will join forces to do something for him." Qiu Jianguo waved his hands and said with high spirits.
Although Qiu Jianguo looked careless, he seemed to have no brains.
But that's just his protective color. Although his personality may be a bit straighter, his mind is definitely not stupid.
Naturally, Ma Mingchen was also disappointed.
"Second brother-in-law, I think you should take the initiative to talk to our dad.
I will look for opportunities next year to go out and exercise.
If you work in the government and get promoted, you will be at a disadvantage if you don't have grassroots work experience.
Now that the country has officially implemented reform and opening up, the government's focus will be on economic development in the future.
Working at the grassroots level can train people and make it easier to achieve results." Zhang Junping suggested to Ma Mingchen seriously.
"Talk to our dad?" Ma Mingchen was a little moved, but also hesitant.
Ma Mingchen grew up in Qiu's family. When facing Qiu's father, he felt the same fear as Qiu Jianguo.
"Second brother-in-law, you work in the government, what is the most important thing?
It’s not about how many achievements you have made, but about communicating with your leaders in a timely manner to let them know that you want to do things, that you are doing things, and that you can do things.
If you are afraid of communicating with your father, how will you report your work to the leaders at the grassroots level?
If your father says something wrong, the most he can do is give you a few words of reprimand.
However, when reporting work to leaders outside, if you say the wrong thing, sometimes the price you pay is very high.
So, second brother-in-law, relax, your career path starts from communicating with our father." Zhang Junping smiled and sat down for Ma Mingchen to work.
Ma Mingchen's character is a bit showy, no wonder Father Qiu never cultivated him as his successor.
However, Zhang Junping believes that character is acquired.
Therefore, it can also be changed.
Just go to the grassroots level and beat them up, suffer some losses, and that will be fine.
"I think what Xiao Zhang said makes sense. Xiaoma, you and I are different. You should communicate more with our dad.
If nothing else, if you can learn half of our father's cunningness, you can at least be a powerful deputy director now." Qiu Jianguo also persuaded.
"Okay! Brother, if you say dad is cunning, I'll tell dad later!" Qiu Wenling suddenly appeared from behind and threatened with a smile.
At this time, Qiu Wenling had already changed out of her military uniform and into casual clothes that showed her figure better.
"No, I didn't say that, you heard wrong!" Qiu Jianguo quickly denied.
"I heard it! And the second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law also heard it!
Hum hum! Tell me what to do!" Qiu Wenling said in a threatening tone.
"Tell me, what do you want? Let's talk about it first! Your brother and I are also a pauper now." Qiu Jianguo knew the little girl so well that he knew at a glance that he was planning to blackmail him.
"Brother, don't pretend to be poor. With your monthly salary, you don't have to pay for food and clothing out of your own pocket.
I don’t want much, just buy me a watch!” Qiu Wenling said with a smile.
"Don't you have a watch? I just bought you a watch during the Chinese New Year last year," Qiu Jianguo shouted.
"I gave that watch away! Look... you can't bear to have your sister's wrists bare?" Qiu Wenling stretched out her slender hands, rolled up her sleeves, and waved it in front of Qiu Jianguo.
"If you want a watch, go to your third brother-in-law! Your third brother-in-law is the richest in our family!" Qiu Jianguo said angrily.
"The third brother-in-law gave me a watch. It was from the third brother-in-law, and it is different from the one you gave me.
You are giving me hush money now, how about you cash it in?" Qiu Wenling said with a naughty smile.
Just now, Zhang Junping felt that Qiu Wenling was very quiet and a very dignified girl. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she took off her military uniform and turned into an eccentric girl.
"My little ancestor, a watch cost more than one hundred, I really can't afford that much money! All the money is with your sister-in-law.
I can still think of something for ten to eighty twenty yuan, but for more than one hundred yuan, you are going to kill your brother." Qiu Jianguo said in tears.
"Then I don't care. If you don't give it, I'll tell dad later that you said bad things about him!" Qiu Wenling said proudly, raising her chin.
"Who is it? Who said bad things about dad?" Qiu Wenyan also came over and sat on the armrest of the sofa made by Zhang Junping, leaning against Zhang Junping and asked.
"No one! We were discussing the second brother-in-law's work.
You girl, if you don't want to learn how to cook from our mother, why are you here?" Qiu Jianguo winked at Qiu Wenling and said to Qiu Wenyan seriously.
Qiu Jianguo feels so miserable! Three sisters, each one is a fuel-efficient lamp.
"There can't be so many people standing in the kitchen, so don't interrupt, Lingling, tell me, did eldest brother say something bad about our dad?
Haha, you're done!" Qiu Wenyan didn't listen to him at all and said gloatingly.
Zhang Junping and Ma Mingchen sat quietly on the sofa, watching Qiu Jianguo slump.
This is the first time Zhang Junping has seen such a scene, and it feels very exciting.
Although Ma Mingchen grew up watching such dramas, he never gets tired of them.
"How can I deal with you living ancestors!" Qiu Jianguo resignedly took out the money in his pockets and piled it on the coffee table, "This is all I have, you can do whatever you want!
If you are not satisfied, then go ahead and file a complaint! The worst case scenario is that you will get a beating."
"Okay, I'll let you go!" Qiu Wenling grabbed the money on the coffee table, pulled Qiu Wenyan and ran into the bedroom to divide the spoils.
"I said, brother-in-law, can you take care of your swallows?
You said you're not short of money, why don't you let him always play with me?" Qiu Jianguo looked at Zhang Junping and complained.
