The old man is indeed a man of profound wisdom, and he immediately hit the key point. Mr. Wu is not stupid himself. Of course, he knows that based on the current market, a commoner and the other are already deputy department-level cadres. Decades later, grandpa will no longer
, I am still a commoner, and I am afraid that they are already in the temple, and the difference between them is not insignificant.
Seeing Mr. Wu being silent, Mr. Wu thought that his words made the eldest grandson suddenly wake up. He felt relieved, so he got up and walked towards his study room with a cane. As soon as the old man left, the meeting naturally broke up. Wu Tiege,
Wu Geyang and Chen Zaidao were about the same age and had similar official positions. They had some exchanges with each other, so they also left to find a place to drink tea, leaving General Zihan and Mr. Wu alone, the old and the young, without any care for each other.
Say, everyone sits idle.
After a long silence, Mr. Wu suddenly said: "Second Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely comply with your wishes this time!"
General Zihan twitched his white eyebrows and said: "How can you talk like a kid? What do you mean by following my will? What do I want?"
Mr. Wu said: "Second Grandpa, you have never spoken to me. It would be strange for you to be alone with me for such a long time today. If you don't hold your words in your heart, it would be really strange."
General Zi Han stared at Mr. Wu for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "You baby, you have always been very smart, so tell me what I am hiding in my heart."
Mr. Wu said: "Second Grandpa, you are so funny. When Grandpa was here just now, didn't you say that someone has degraded the prestige of our Wu family? This has degraded the prestige of our Wu family. How can our Wu family take anything seriously?"
Never happened?"
General Zihan said in a deep voice: "Have you turned a deaf ear to your grandfather's words?"
Mr. Wu chuckled: "Second Grandpa is really good at joking. How dare I take Grandpa's words seriously? I remember Grandpa's words really. Grandpa said that now I and the person named Xue are still vaguely on the same level.
Ten years later, one is in the temple and the other is in the grassland, which is the difference between heaven and earth. Since there is such a big gap between my future and the future of Xue, why should I let him continue to stay in the officialdom, so as to save me in the future?
It’s disturbing to look at it.”
General Zi Han's eyes suddenly lit up. "Good boy, just go ahead and do it. Second Grandpa will definitely poke you in the back. I have always trusted your kid's methods!"
"Second Grandpa, just hold it up. This guy named Xue is in Sijiu City. I really can't do anything with him. But when he goes down, there will be dragons in the shallows. I can kill him by just calling a loach. It's easy to save him."
You and I have dirty hands and feet!"
"Hahaha……"
…
It is already the third day of the first lunar month. Xue Pingyuan and his family have gone to Mingzhu City yesterday, which is Xue Yuan, Xue Yang's grandfather's house. And tomorrow, Xue Xiang will go to Xiaoshan County. After all, he is now in the officialdom and is no longer free.
, and the county government originally had a lot of things to do, and Xue Laosan was responsible for the county's finances. It was really a heavy burden on his shoulders. Naturally, he was even more nervous.
After dinner, Xue Anyuan had not returned from attending the Military Commission meeting, so only four brothers and sisters of the Xue family were left at home.
There was a bright charcoal fire in the house, and the space between the square sofas was crowded with all kinds of gift boxes and gift bags. The little ones were jumping around on the sofas. They were mumbling words, as if they were praying to the Buddha or to Guanyin.
What do you say?
It turned out that the little guy and Xiao Yixian were extremely bored and became interested in the pile of New Year gifts received by the Xue family. They decided to use this pile of things as a bet and play a game. Each person picked five pieces and watched.
Whoever picks the gadgets has a higher total price.
Xue Xiang and Xiaowan were forcibly dragged aside to serve as referees. At this time, the little guy and Xiaoyi had picked up four items each. Both of them were wrong about their moves. They actually didn't choose a good toy.
Above, they all picked up a bunch of cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks. It’s hard to say how much they cost, but the types are similar.
, it counts as a tie, and now it is the last challenge, so the little guy is particularly nervous. After all, the outcome of this bet is not trivial, but the little guy's lucky money for a year has been gambled, which is a hundred yuan.
For this little man, it is tantamount to a huge gamble, so how can we be so cautious?
The little guy jumped on his feet and wandered around the sofas on the four sides. In the end, his dark eyes were still unsure. Suddenly, he picked out a small blue box as big as a palm and opened it.
, it is actually a thumb-sized golden dragon made of pure gold. This golden dragon flies wildly, stepping on the auspicious clouds, its soaring momentum is obvious, and its meaning is very good.
, I don’t remember everything in my mind, but I know who the hand of this golden dragon came from. Because when Qiu Zhiguo sent this small blue box, although he didn’t say what noble thing was in the box, it didn’t stick in his ears.
Store it carefully as you chatter. There are many eyes, so don’t lose it. The gift-giver’s words like this are nothing more than a disguised way of emphasizing that his gift is extraordinary, so as to attract the attention of the owner.
But he said that Xiaoyi got this piece of gold dragon, and he hummed a tune with joy. He kept twirling his index finger and thumb on his right hand, making gestures like counting money. He made the little guy scream in anger, but the little guy was thinking
Without any idea, her light and picturesque little eyebrows immediately knitted into a ball, staring.
Looking at the mountain of various packages, I was so anxious that I was about to explode. I searched for a long time, but my little mind still had no plan, but a pair of eyes had a fixed star, and it was firmly locked on Xue Xiang. It seems that the villain
I still firmly remember the unbreakable truth of "when in trouble, go to the big guy."
Xue Xiang saw the little guy glance at him and felt funny in his heart, but he didn't know how to help. However, Xue Xiang definitely didn't know which box contained the valuable gift. Of course, saying that Xue Xiang knew it didn't mean that he had accurately written it down.
Who gave what gift, or has checked the gift list? But Xue Laosan knows the habits of the gift giver, especially this little trick of guessing the value of the gift, just remember
One: The smaller the box, the heavier the gift must be, ensuring victory without defeat. After all, the Xue family is no better than ordinary families. Those who are qualified to bring gifts to the door are all people with a certain status. When they give gifts, they will definitely not be simple.
After sending it away, especially when giving it in a small box, the things in the box must not be expensive based on quantity, but must be rare things, such as the golden dragon in Xiaoyi's hand.
Therefore, as long as you rely on this iron rule and look at the small box correctly, you are guaranteed to find valuable items.
Although Xue Xiang knew this truth, it was extremely difficult to reveal it to the little guy without anyone noticing. After all, Xiaoyi was watching eagerly and was determined not to allow the little guy to blatantly bring in reinforcements.
But he said that the little man stared at Xue Xiang for a long time, and saw that the big guy's eyes were dull and indifferent, and he was very unhappy. In embarrassment, he ran into Xue Xiang's arms, raised his legs to the sky, and kept swinging his little head.
Grinding in his arms like a mill.
Xue Xiang finally found a good opportunity. With the help of the little guy's collision, he tilted his head. He quickly put his mouth next to the little man's ear and softly uttered the four words "the smaller the better". The little man got the idea.
, the crescent moon crescents suddenly, and suddenly I remember that Xiaoyi is still nearby, my face
The color changed again when he stood up, and he continued to toss in Xue Xiang's arms for a while. It was not until Xiaoyi couldn't help but urge, "Choose quickly, you will lose if you are too late." The little man finally completed the whole scene and climbed up from Xue Xiang's arms.
I rushed towards the mountain of gift boxes.
But I saw her getting into the pile of gift boxes, first scattering dozens of gift boxes, and then instructing Xue Xiang to move dozens of big men away, and then spread a bunch of gift boxes on the floor, and then stared at the ground for a while with big eyes.
After rummaging around, his eyes finally settled on a small box wrapped in purple cardboard that was three inches square.
Not long after, the little guy picked up the small box, looked through it, and read: "Little Hu from the Southeast wishes Uncle Xue a long journey and a great future!"
If Xue Xiang took one look at this small box, he would have guessed that the gift inside must be unusual. And then listening to the little guy read the words, he would know that there were words written on the box. This way, he was even more sure that the things inside must be extraordinary, otherwise the gift would have been unusual.
I definitely would not leave my name on the box. After all, this kind of behavior does not conform to the reserved style that Chinese people pay attention to when giving gifts. Obviously the reason is just like Qiu Zhiguo giving a golden dragon. I hope the Xue family will remember who sent the gift.
Xue Xiang thought about it carefully and knew that this little Hu from the southeast must be Hu Liming, who was the executive deputy mayor in Pengcheng. To put it into detail, these new and old friends of Xue Xiang may not get together in the New Year, but they communicate on the phone.
The gifts that each of them brought to the Xue family were never too short. Su Xinghe, Liu Yong, Hong Tianfa of Jingkou, Geng Fulin and Chen Guangming of Hanshui, who seldom traveled around, also sent them thoughtfully every year.
Xue Xiang was very curious about what Hu Liming had given him, so he urged the little guy to open it. The little guy held the small box and looked through it for a long time. Hearing Xue Xiang's urging, he rolled his eyes, but he followed his words and dismantled it.
Got up. I didn’t think about it.
Liming's gift box was wrapped extremely carefully, with layers of paper wrapped one layer after another. After three layers were peeled off, a red hardwood box was revealed. When the red hardwood box was opened, who would have thought that a small pink glass box would be revealed inside.
.
The little guy had been dismantling it for a long time. Instead of being annoyed, he became more and more excited. In fact, at this moment, not only the little guy, but also Xiao Wan and Xiao Yi also gathered around, their eyes full of hope. After all, this
After a while, everyone saw that the thing in the small box was extraordinary, otherwise it would not have so many layers. After all, even if someone deliberately played a prank, he would not dare to do it to his uncle.
Sure enough, the little guy gently opened the lid of the pink glass box, and a pool of water appeared inside the box. The water was green and pure, and soon the pink box turned into pure green.
After a while, it seemed that this square meter space, including the glowing charcoal fire in front of the sofa, was dyed through, and the entire space seemed to be filled with magical colors.
The three little ones were all dumbfounded, and Xue Xiang was also stunned. After a while, he woke up, reached into the box, took out the green water, and when he came closer, he saw clearly the true face of the green water.
A piece of jade pendant about an inch long and three centimeters wide. The jade pendant is covered with cloud patterns, with a dragon inscribed on one side and a phoenix carved on the other. It is extremely gorgeous and magnificent.
Although Xue was an amateur antiques enthusiast for later generations, the material of the jade pendant in front of him could still be recognized. It was obviously an ancient jade pendant that was considered to be the best among imperial green jadeite. There is no need to study its cultural relic value in detail.
In later generations, any piece of jadeite of this grade will be
A ring the size of a fingernail is worth millions. The jade pendant in front of you can be described as a "rare treasure". (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come.
