"Secretary, how can there be any lie in this matter? My son-in-law is already at my house. Besides, do I dare to joke about this kind of thing?" He Baoshan said anxiously.
"Haha, Baoshan, don't be nervous, I'm just confirming," Zhang Qingqing said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've already recorded the merit for you in my mind."
"Hey, Secretary, you're too polite. Thinking about the leader is what we subordinates should do." He Baoshan felt quite proud.
…
Long Ziyou declined Wang Chuanshou's dinner invitation. He hadn't had dinner with his family for so long, so how could he go out when he got home? Wang Chuanshou naturally didn't dare to force it, but left Long Ziyou's house with some regrets.
During dinner in the evening, Long Ziyou told his father Long Jianqiang about the handling of gifts and gifts.
"I am also having a headache about gifts and gifts, Ziyou, your method is good!" Long Jianqiang agreed without thinking. In fact, he was also very worried about Long Ziyou's suffering because of gifts and gifts.
People criticize.
"Will this make our relatives and friends say that we look down on them?" The mother, Zhao Lilan, was a little hesitant.
"So you old women have long hair and short knowledge. Compared with your son being criticized for giving gifts, what does it matter if he is misunderstood by them?" Long Jianqiang scolded.
"Okay, okay, you have short hair and a long life?" Zhao Lilan rolled her eyes at her husband, but she still agreed with his words in her heart. Nothing is more important than her son's future and reputation.
"Aunt, you eat vegetables. Uncle's words are a bit harsh, but he is doing it for Brother Ziyou's own good." Ren Xiaoxiao put a piece of beef into Zhao Lilan's bowl.
"It's okay, I'm used to him being so rude when talking." Zhao Lilan immediately put on a smile, and it was the kind of smile that made her teeth and eyes disappear.
"Uncle, you can eat too." Ren Xiaoxiao put another piece of beef into Long Jianqiang's bowl. She was the future daughter-in-law of the Long family, so naturally she couldn't treat the two elders favorably.
"Okay." Long Jianqiang was naturally very happy. He used to worry that Ren Xiaoxiao, who was born in a high-ranking official family, would be indulgent or arrogant. Now it seems that his worries were in vain. His future wife is still very knowledgeable.
After dinner, Ren Xiaoxiao wanted to help Zhao Lilan wash the dishes, but was pushed out. With nothing to do, she had to take Long Zi and swim outside for a walk.
"The air in the countryside is good, and you can still see the stars. I can't remember the last time I saw the stars." Looking up at the starry sky and taking a deep breath, Ren Xiaoxiao said with emotion.
Long Ziyou naturally understood that Ren Xiaoxiao's subtext was that the air in the provincial capital and the capital was dirty and the environment was poor. He smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "This is the price of lack of long-term planning and blind development. Sadly, this kind of
This phenomenon occurs everywhere in the country, but what is even more sad is that many places are still rushing to follow this old path."
"You are really good at talking, just like my dad. He talked about national affairs without saying a few words. You are really true to your profession!" Ren Xiaoxiao gave Bai Longzi an angry look.
"There is no way. We are all members of the system. Since we are in our positions, we must seek our own policies." Long Ziyou shrugged helplessly.
"Okay, I know you are all responsible and tolerant people, okay? We won't talk about national affairs today." Ren Xiaoxiao stepped forward and held Long Ziyou's arm tightly.
"If we don't talk about national affairs, then what are we talking about, about romance?" Long Ziyou teased with a smile.
"Also, you men can't live without romance within three sentences!" Ren Xiaoxiao gave Long Ziyou another look.
The two walked on the country road for nearly an hour, talking and laughing. Ren Xiaoxiao, who rarely got to swim with Long Zi, felt very sweet.
After looking at the watch, it was almost nine o'clock. Long Ziyou said, "Go back, Brother Lei and the others should be arriving soon."
When they were in the provincial capital, Lei Ming and the others said that they would arrive around nine tonight. While staying at Long Ziyou's house for one night, they would also help him make some fun in the new house. Many places in rural areas have this tradition when they move into new houses. The night before the housewarming ceremony.
You need to invite relatives and friends to have fun and gather popularity.
Long Ziyou's calculation was accurate. Not long after the two returned home, Lei Ming, Ma Wencai, Wang Wuhua, Lei Bao, Fu Guangming, Su Zinan, Chang Xiongfei and other seven people were accompanied by Long Lijian and Wang Xincong.
When they arrived, Long Ziyou was a little surprised that Su Zinan and Chang Xiongfei also arrived because he didn't notify them. However, he could only welcome their arrival!
Before the greetings were exchanged, Su Zinan said first: "Ziyou, you are so unbrotherly that you didn't notify me and Xiong Fei of the housewarming. Fortunately, I got the news, so we had to come uninvited. Wouldn't you not welcome us?"
"
"Anan, what are you talking about? It's too late for me to welcome you here. The reason why I didn't notify you is because you are too far away from Hong Kong Island and I don't dare to trouble you. Secondly, I don't want to make a big fuss, so as not to have a bad impact.
." Long Ziyou could only explain with a wry smile.
"Haha, Ziyou, we understand your thoughts, but in the eyes of Zinan and I, it still seems a bit uninteresting." Chang Xiongfei said with a smile.
"Okay, it's all my fault. Can I have a few more drinks tomorrow?" Everyone was here, so Long Ziyou had no choice but to admit his mistake.
"That's pretty much it." Su Zinan and Chang Xiongfei laughed in unison. It seemed that their complaints were intended to achieve this goal.
After the greetings, the group visited Long Ziyou's new house. After sitting down, the busiest people were Long Lijian and Wang Xincong, who were serving tea and water. Ren Xiaoxiao was originally going to do this job, but they were snatched away by them.
, she had nothing to do and couldn't get a word in, so she had to go chat with Zhao Lilan.
"It's a long night, and the water will always run out. It's not an option to go on like this. Why don't we put on some shows." Half an hour later, Marven felt a little bored and suggested. When he visited the house just now, he discovered that the first floor
There is a dedicated entertainment room with an automatic mahjong table.
"Fat man, your so-called programs are just mahjong and landlord fights. Can you come up with something new?" Wang Wuhua teased.
"In the past, I could conquer the world with just three moves. Now I, Ma Wencai, can entertain the world with just two moves." Ma Wencai patted his chest and said with pride.
"Someone is in a hurry to give money, so what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Lei Ming was the first to stand up and respond.
"Count me in." Su Zinan responded secondly. He was also a person who liked to touch a few.
"Ziyou, you play mahjong with them, Brother Bao, Xiongfei, I and I will fight the Landlord." Wang Wuhua took the initiative to push Long Ziyou to the mahjong table.
"Brother Guangming, you can play and I will buy the code." Long Ziyou gave it to Fu Guangming. As the master, he naturally has to take care of the guests.
"Ziyou, it's up to you to play, and I'll buy the chips. As you know, not only do I have no skills in playing mahjong, I also have no luck with the cards." Fu Guangming shook his head repeatedly.
"That's good." Long Ziyou nodded without forcing it.
Playing mahjong and playing landlords, the entertainment room in the new house became lively for the first time after it was built. However, at twelve o'clock, Long Ziyou gave up his seat to Fu Guangming, who bought the code, because he had moved.
He, the master, must participate in the worship ceremony.
The ceremony ended about an hour later, followed by the setting off of firecrackers. The deafening sound of firecrackers lasted for half an hour. The smoke filled the air and the red paper shreds turned the entire yard from green to red. If not for Longzi's lobbying not to let it go too long.
Long Lijian, who was in charge of setting off firecrackers, was afraid that he would set off the firecrackers for another full hour so as not to disturb the villagers' sleep.
Early the next morning, we got busy in Tamura. As promised or not, everyone came to Longzi You's house to help. It was not an easy task to prepare a hundred tables of meals, and
The kitchen of Longzi Youjia was not enough, so the cooking spots were divided into ten places. In addition to the old and new houses of Longzi Youjia, the kitchens of eight villagers' homes were also borrowed. In addition, Wang Chuanshou also specially hired ten people in the town.
The restaurant chef came to take charge.
Starting at ten o'clock, the guests started arriving one after another. Although Long Ziyou didn't sleep all night, he was still in high spirits and accompanied his father Long Jianqiang to welcome the guests. As for Lei Ming and the others, they were still 'fighting' in the entertainment room!
Most of the people who arrived first were relatives of Long Ziyou's family. They came here early to see if they could help. When they saw Long Ziyou personally greeting them, they felt flattered and couldn't help but think: This guy from the Long family really has something.
Prospective, after becoming a high-ranking official, you still have no airs at all. You will not be like some people, who are petty officials with sesame seeds and mung beans, with their tails raised to the sky and their eyes on their foreheads!
As time went by, after eleven o'clock, there was an endless stream of guests, and all kinds of luxury cars kept appearing, and many villagers could not recognize the brands.
"Boss, you have met Secretary Zhang Qingcheng and his father-in-law from Hexi County." Du Wenwu pointed to the two people beside him. At eleven o'clock, Du Wenwu, his wife, Zhang Qingcheng, and He Baoshan arrived. Du Wenwu
I was originally going to come over last night, but because I wanted to bring Zhang Jiechen and two of them over, I came over together this morning.
"I remember." Long Ziyou nodded and stretched out his hand, "Secretary Zhang, Director He, welcome."
"Director Long, excuse me." Zhang Qingcheng stretched out his hands, his tone and demeanor were very respectful, as if he were treating a leader, and He Baoshan was even more so.
After the greetings, Wang Xincong, who was in charge of reception, guided them to a table covered with red cloth to sign. After signing, Zhang Jingcheng and He Baoshan handed the red envelopes to Long Lijian on the other side of the table, but to their surprise
Unexpectedly, Long Lijian handed the red envelope back to them after passing it through his hands.
"Brother, what's going on?" Zhang Qingqing asked in surprise.
"Secretary Zhang, it's like this. This is our local custom. When you do something good, you only pass the red envelope once and then give it back to the guest, which is regarded as a return gift." Long Lijian repeated what he had said countless times.
