"Okay, I understand, Grandpa! Even if you don't trust me, don't you still trust Brother Lei? I'm very safe in Huadu City. I've decided to celebrate the New Year here!" Tan Qing'er said on the phone.
Mr. Tan on the other end looked helpless. As he got older, he only looked forward to one thing, and that was for the whole family to gather together to spend time together, especially on days like the Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
If Tan Qinger was somewhere else, he would order her back without hesitation.
But now we are in Huadu and living in Luo Lei's house. What the old man hopes most is that this precious granddaughter can be with Luo Lei. With such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity if she comes back.
"Okay then, you just stay in Huadu to celebrate the New Year!" Mr. Tan continued: "Outside is not as good as at home, you have to be good, you know? By the way, what about that girl Xiaomei? She won't stay there too, right?"
Tan Qing'er has long been prepared to kill the donkey. After all, it was Sun Xiaomei who came up with the idea of promising her body. If she was left here, how could Tan Qing'er have the nerve to "take action"!
"Of course Xiaomei will go. Grandpa, help me arrange it and let her take the fastest flight back!" Tan Qing'er said.
"Okay, Grandpa will arrange it right away!" Tan Jinrong agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Tan Qing'er smiled like a little fox who had stolen a hen.
Sun Xiaomei curled her lips and said: "Xiaoqing, you are not kind! If you want to kick me away so quickly, the sisters in the province and Brother Lei will know your conspiracy!"
"Nonsense, how could I be that kind of person!" Tan Qing'er came over and said, "Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve, how could I bear to prevent you from being able to reunite with your parents? Haha, don't worry, I'll let grandpa make arrangements
Okay, we’ll pick you up and drop you off by car when the time comes, and the whole journey will be by plane!”
Sun Xiaomei rolled her eyes.
…
On New Year's Eve, the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock in the evening, and the girls began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Luo Lei picked up Lin Kexin, who had been tired of being on top of him, put her on the sofa aside, and went upstairs slyly.
As soon as he walked into his room, his cell phone rang. It was Gu Hanyan calling.
"Xiao Yanyan, I was about to call you!" Luo Lei answered the phone with a smile.
"Stop talking nice to me! It's already eight o'clock. When are you going to come over?" Gu Hanyan asked on the phone.
"Well, we'll be there in a while!" Luo Lei said, thinking of delaying as long as he could, "We'll leave in a moment. I guess the road tonight won't be easy, so I'll probably arrive at your house around nine o'clock. Haha,
It might be half past nine! Maybe there’s a traffic jam or there’s a traffic accident on the road!”
Gu Hanyan said angrily: "Come on! My dad just drove back from outside and said there was no one on the road! We must arrive before nine o'clock, otherwise, huh!"
"Okay, okay, I'll be there at nine o'clock!" Luo Lei could only agree.
After hanging up the phone, he sat down cross-legged and quickly let his zhenqi circulate for a few days, so that the clone would be unable to bear it for a while.
He planned to leave his clone at home and have the New Year's Eve dinner with the girls.
After all, you are in your own home, and the clone is not easily exposed. If you can't hold on anymore, you can find any excuse, such as urinary escape, etc., and you can get past it.
Forty minutes later, he quietly climbed out of the window. He had just greeted the little girl Lin Kexin, saying that he would go upstairs to practice and come downstairs at twelve o'clock. In this way, the clone should be able to last until he eats.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Fifteen minutes later, he appeared at the door of the beautiful lady Gu, carrying several boxes of gifts in his hand.
Gu Hanyan opened the door and said softly: "You've got the right time, come in quickly!"
In the living room, Director Gu was drinking tea and watching the Spring Festival Gala, while Gu Hanyan's mother was busy in the kitchen. Gu Hanyan herself was wearing an apron.
"Hey, Xiaolei is here, come on, come on in and sit down!" Director Gu stood up and said enthusiastically.
Luo Lei put the gift on the coffee table with a smile and said: "A little thing is not respectful!"
Director Gu's expression immediately changed and he said, "If you come home for a meal, what else do you bring? I never accept gifts! You have to take them all away in a while!"
Gu Hanyan pouted and said: "Dad! You don't accept gifts from others because they are asking you to do things. Xiaolei is not an outsider and he doesn't ask you to do things, so why don't you accept them?"
"Uh!" Director Gu was startled, then said with a smile: "Haha, dad was wrong, there's nothing I can do about it, I'm used to it!"
"This shows that Uncle Gu is very principled in his life! There are fewer and fewer good officials like you with a clean sleeve!" Luo Lei first flattered him, then pointed to a few boxes and said: "Actually, that's right.
It’s not something valuable! It’s just a few wild ginseng roots. When Uncle Gu and Auntie Gu are free, they can grind them into powder and take them. It’s good for the body!”
Director Gu was a little disapproving, but Gu Hanyan knew that these were good things and said, "Dad, listen to Xiao Lei! If you and Mom eat these ginseng, I guarantee you will be several years younger!"
Director Gu's wife was a grassroots cadre, and she had no airs like Director Gu. She came out to say hello to Luo Lei, and the mother and daughter continued to work in the kitchen.
Seeing that Luo Lei was not very interested in the Spring Festival Gala, Director Gu took out the chess set from under the coffee table and said with a smile: "Want a game?"
"Haha, okay!" Luo Lei readily agreed. Although he rarely plays board games, with his high IQ, it shouldn't be a problem to play with others.
At first, Luo Lei, who was not familiar with the routines, lost his troops and generals one after another, but after a while, he got used to it, and Director Gu's killing moves failed one after another.
Director Gu felt more and more frightened as he went down. He thought that capturing Luo Lei would be a piece of cake, but this was proven at the beginning.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to win, the opponent suddenly seemed to be a different person, actually reversed the disadvantage and captured several of his pieces in a row.
Later, Director Gu felt like he was too powerful, because every time he finally set up a formation and was about to launch an attack, Luo Lei would always break it easily.
In this way, Luo Lei turned from an absolute disadvantage into an absolute advantage. He successfully drove into the local territory with one car and one horse, forcing the veteran to a dead end with three strikes, five strikes and two strikes.
"I lost, let's play another game!" Of course Director Gu was not convinced. He had been fond of chess since he was a child, and he once played against all the unbeatable players in the provinces and departments.
"Okay!" Luo Lei nodded.
The two quickly set up their chess pieces, and this time Luo Lei launched the most ferocious offensive at the beginning. Director Gu didn't even get out of his stance, and the veteran who was already forced by the double cannon had nowhere to hide.
Director Gu stared at the chessboard for a long time, and then he said with conviction: "I lost again! Xiaolei, you are so awesome!"
"Haha, it's Uncle Gu who asked me to do it. In fact, this is my third time playing chess!" Luo Lei said with a smile.
"Oh, really? When were the first and second times?" Director Gu asked.
Luo Lei touched his chin as if thinking, and said: "The first time was when I was not in school. The old dean taught me how to bet. At that time, I first learned about the rules of horse moving day and field; as for the third time, I learned how to play.
The second time, I guess it was when I was in junior high school, I played with a classmate. The guy was very bad at chess and always regretted his moves. I was so angry that I swore I would never play chess again!"
Director Gu was so shocked that he thought, no wonder at the beginning of the first set, he felt like he was a novice. But to be able to reverse the situation so quickly is incredible!
"Are you coming again?" Luo Lei pointed at the chessboard and said with unfinished content.
"I'm not coming. If I come again, I'll probably have to swear to never play chess again!" Director Gu said with a wry smile: "Xiao Lei, you'd better leave me with a little confidence. I'll have to find a few inferior players tomorrow.
, kill a few big games to get your confidence back!"
In the kitchen, Mrs. Gu pursed her lips and said to her daughter: "Yanzi, this kid Luo Lei is quite good! He actually defeated your father. He hasn't encountered an opponent in many years!"
"Tch, that's because he is a senior official and others don't dare to defeat him!" Gu Hanyan said disapprovingly.
"Not really!" Mrs. Gu said: "He has studied chess for almost thirty years. Even before, I rarely saw him lose. And even if he lost, he would definitely be unconvinced and would have to win back."
It’s over! But today, he honestly admitted defeat and had no idea of getting back in the game, which already illustrates the problem!”
Gu Hanyan smiled and said: "Mom, why do you sound like you are Qualuolei in disguise?"
"How can I not praise you? Who made my precious woman fall in love with someone else?" Mrs. Gu stretched out her hand and tapped her daughter's forehead and said, "Xiao Lei is a pretty good kid, but he is a little younger. You are better than me."
He is several years older, but as the saying goes, a female junior holds a gold nugget... Ahem, daughter, you are more than three years older than him, right?"
Gu Hanyan had a black line on her face and muttered angrily: "Age is not a problem!"
At a quarter past eleven, the New Year's Eve dinner was ready. The four of them were sitting around the dining table. Director Gu took out two bottles of x-liang liquid and suggested: "It's Chinese New Year, let's all drink some and be happy!"
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but fortunately this was not the first time Luo Lei had experienced such a thing, and his behavior was quite satisfactory.
After a few glasses of wine, Mrs. Gu began to ask Luo Lei questions, which made even Gu Hanyan blush.
What could Luo Lei do? Faced with his future mother-in-law, he had to tell the truth. Of course, there were some things he couldn't say. He kept clinking glasses with Director Gu in an attempt to divert Mrs. Gu's attention.
Who would have thought that Director Gu’s drinking capacity was so low that he was already dizzy after less than half a bottle!
This was unacceptable to Luo Lei. Doesn't it mean that the bigger the official position, the more alcohol he drinks. How did he, the director, climb up?
"Xiao Lei, tell your uncle, when are you and Yanzi going to get married?" Director Gu said with a tongue in cheek: "I have long wanted to hold my grandson... Why are you staring, Xiaolei? Why are you staring too, Yanzi?"
Ah... How about you get pregnant before we are married, and then we will get married, haha, I am not a stubborn person, I can accept this kind of thing..."
