Wang just returned home and unexpectedly saw Peng Mingjie and his daughter as soon as he entered the door.
"Xiao Gang, you're back! Xiaoli and her father are here." Liu Shufang sat there with a smile and said to Wang Gang.
"Brother Xiaogang." Peng Yongli came over and took the initiative to help Wang Gang put away his bag, like a little daughter-in-law waiting for her husband to come home.
"Uncle Peng, Xiaoli, when did you come, does Uncle Ma know?" Wang Gang sat across from Peng Mingjie and said.
"I arrived this morning. I was invited by Lao Ma to celebrate the New Year. I just happened to come to your house to sit down." Peng Mingjie said with a smile: "I brought some gifts to your parents from Harbin."
Liu Shufang said: "We are all a family, so if you bring anything else, I will send it to Lao Ma and Sufang later."
Peng Mingjie smiled and said: "Mr. Liu has cured my old problem, but he is not willing to accept my consultation fee, so I must accept this."
Wang Gang turned to Liu Shufang and said, "Mom, I'll pick some new year's goods later and bring them to Uncle Peng."
"It's been prepared a long time ago, and you don't need to tell me." Liu Shufang said angrily.
Everyone sat down, cracked melon seeds, drank tea, and chatted.
"Xiaoli will graduate next year! What kind of job are you going to find?" Liu Shufang held Peng Yongli's hand, grinning from ear to ear.
"Aunt Liu, I plan to be a teacher after graduation." Peng Yongli glanced at Wang Gang secretly and said.
"It's good to be a teacher." Wang Jianguo said with a smile: "When you and Xiaogang have children in the future, you don't have to worry about education."
Peng Mingjie said happily: "I came here this time to talk about the children's marriage."
Liu Shufang held Peng Yongli's hand tightly and said, "I have wanted my two children to get married for a long time, but Xiaogang insisted on delaying it, saying that it would not delay Xiaoli's studies."
Wang Jianguo nodded and said: "We have prepared Xiaogang's wedding room and wedding gifts a long time ago. We bought forty-eight legs, a bicycle, and a sewing machine a long time ago. Brother Peng, do you think you have any other requirements?"
Peng Mingjie shook his head and said: "I don't have any requirements. As long as they can respect each other as guests and support each other after they get married."
Wang Jianguo and Liu Shufang looked at each other and said: "According to our rules, the betrothal gift is five hundred yuan, and we will give you a thousand yuan in total. As for other hardware and watches, after the New Year, Shufang will take Xiaoli with her.
Go choose.”
The Wang family's income is not low, and they don't usually have big expenses. Since they only have one son, Wang Gang, the money is naturally left for him to find a wife.
Peng Mingjie was marrying his daughter, not selling her, and he didn't have high requirements for betrothal gifts. The Wang family gave a thousand as a gift, and he would return a thousand and a half as dowry. In short, the two families discussed the marriage, and the more they talked, the happier they became, and they couldn't wait to get it done after the New Year.
Done.
Wang Gang didn't say a word during the whole process. After finishing the meal, Wang Gang took Peng Mingjie to the courtyard alone.
"Uncle Peng, my friend in Harbin told me that there may be a strict investigation from the top. You should be more careful recently."
Peng Mingjie was startled and said: "Xiao Gang, you have received the news."
Wang Gang nodded indifferently and said: "What you usually do has been noticed by the superiors."
Peng Mingjie trembled all over, his forehead was covered with cold sweat in the cold winter months.
"Is your friend reliable?"
Wang Gang said: "We met while working on a case. I saved his life. He knew about my relationship with you and took the risk to remind you."
Peng Mingjie was sweating profusely and feeling extremely panicked.
"Then what should I do?" Peng Mingjie swallowed and said, "Will my affairs affect you and Xiaoli?"
Wang Gang said: "Uncle Peng, I don't quite understand. You don't usually have the habit of spending money lavishly. Xiaoli is also very frugal. She can't wait to spend two cents of a penny. Why are you greedy for that money?"
Peng Mingjie sighed: "Do you think I want to? But when you sit in that seat, sometimes you can't help yourself!"
Wang Gang suddenly understood and persuaded: "Uncle Peng, I won't say any more nonsense. You must resign immediately and sever ties with those people in the work unit, otherwise you will not be able to avoid this prison sentence."
"Can you escape by resigning? The superiors won't pursue you?" Peng Mingjie asked.
"Your problem is not serious. If you resign voluntarily and I help you find connections, you should be fine." Wang Gang said seriously:
"If you are unwilling to resign, then there is nothing I can do, and there is nothing my friend can do to cover the sky with one hand."
In Peng Mingjie's heart, there is a conflict between heaven and man. He worked hard in a labor camp for more than ten years, and finally was transferred to Harbin as a small leader. Now that he has not yet taken up the position, he is asked to give up everything. He is really reluctant to let it go.
Wang Gang continued: "Uncle Peng, have you considered going south to do business?"
Peng Mingjie raised his head in surprise and said, "Business, what business?"
Wang Gang said: "After you resign, you can go to the south to avoid the limelight. The reform trend there is booming. Unlike here, there are many people who are doing business and making money."
Peng Mingjie frowned and said, "Can I do business?"
Wang Gang said: "I have a way to sell mountain fur from the Northeast to the South. I can make double the profit every time, but my status is really inconvenient.
I originally planned to let Xiaoli go into business, but she was not interested in that, so I thought of you."
Peng Mingjie asked: "Xiao Gang, aren't you making a mistake by doing this?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "The regulations do not prohibit family members from doing business. As long as there is no transfer of benefits, it is allowed."
"I'll think about it." Peng Mingjie couldn't make up his mind for a while. He thought about going back to Harbin to ask friends after the New Year, but he was lucky in his heart.
Wang Gang knew that Peng Mingjie was reluctant to give up public office. This was understandable. Business people nowadays have a bad reputation. How could a leader have a high social status? But ten years later, when the wind of reform blows across the land of China, it will be different. There will be more
It’s public officials who go overseas to do business.
"Uncle Peng, don't delay for too long. According to my friend, someone has already reported you, but my friend is suppressing it for the time being."
"What, report!?" Peng Mingjie's eyes widened, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.
"If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Xiaoli. There used to be a man named Wang Xin in our hospital because his father committed a crime. Not only was his house taken over, but his own work was also affected. Up to now, he is still just a grassroots hospital.
Police officer, Uncle Ma also knows about this."?
Peng Mingjie's eyes flickered uncertainly, and there was a war between heaven and man in his heart, and he didn't speak for a while.
Wang Gang sighed, gave Peng Mingjie time to think, and returned to the house.
"Brother Xiaogang, what are you talking about with my dad?" Peng Yongli looked at her father outside the house and asked.
"It's okay. Uncle Peng asked me to treat you well after we get married. He said that if he finds out that I'm not treating you well, he won't be polite to me." Wang Gang pulled Peng Yongli into his room and closed the door smoothly.
"My dad really said that?" Peng Yongli asked strangely: "This is not something he can say? It would be more like it if he were the second dad."
Peng Yongli's second father is Ma Kui. In the past few years, she went to college in Ningyang. Sometimes she felt that the dormitory was too noisy and affected her studies, so she went to live with Ma Kui. Later, she simply accepted Ma Kui and Wang Sufang as her godfather and godmother.
Wang Gang held Peng Yongli in his arms and said, "You are the apple of your father's eye. If I really treat you badly, he will definitely fight for me."
"Don't." Peng Yongli felt that Wang Gang's hand was beginning to be dishonest. She glanced outside the house and whispered: "Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu are still outside, wait until we get to your house in the evening."
Wang Gang was not a monk and was not a vegetarian. He had been dating Peng Yongli for several years, and naturally he had taken her over long ago. Sometimes the two of them would go to the wedding room prepared by Liu Shufang for Wang Gang for a private meeting, and then go home before dawn.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Okay, let's continue in the evening."
Peng Yongli's face was as red as a fresh peach, making people salivate.
