Chapter 81: The Birthday of the Commander of the Guard
Xue Zhengju's tone was sonorous and full of evil spirit. He obviously knew what Xue Laosan was doing in Mingzhu.
Xue Xiang smiled and said: "You understand that with you poking at my back, I can be confident and bold as a yamen, it's a big detour, but that's right, you are now in a dignified political situation."
, no matter how ugly the words are, they have to be said in a high-sounding way, right?"
"Hahaha……"
Xue Zhengju's hearty laughter came from the phone again, "Okay, you're a poor kid, but I don't have time to talk to you anymore. I have to catch a plane soon. By the way, I'll give you a call today.
I’m asking your boy to attend a banquet on my behalf. Xiao Wei of the East China Sea Fleet is celebrating his fiftieth birthday today. Please attend. By the way, don’t forget to bring your good girl with you!”
After Xue Xiang agreed, he told him a few words to take care of himself, and only after the other party hung up the phone, he pressed the call.
Xue Xiang is not very worried about Xue Anyuan's health. With Lao Gu, a Chinese medicine doctor and expert in martial arts, there is no problem with the old man's health. Just listening to the voice just now, one can tell that the old man is full of energy and extremely energetic.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Xiang looked at the time and saw that it had already passed eleven o'clock. It was probably not close to the time for the birthday banquet. He hurriedly stepped out and headed downstairs.
Although he was in a hurry, Xue Xiang controlled his speed. He did not want to wait for a long time at the school gate. When the school bell rang, his car stalled just in front of the school gate.
Not long after, I saw the little guy and a few friends running out in a frenzy. When he saw Xue Xiang's car, he waved to his friends and ran straight over.
The little guy's daily clothes were all bought by President Liu, and they are all famous foreign children's clothes. At this moment, the little guy is wearing a black knitted sweater, a pair of water-brushed white jeans, and a pair of black round toes.
Calfskin shoes, dress up avant-garde and sophisticated.'
Originally, Xue Laosan did not want the little guy to dress like this. He thought it was too trendy and not good for children. At least in the 1980s, it seemed a bit out of place. However, Xiao Nizi, the instigator, could not be defeated.
The Xue family, who loves stinky beauty, spent four thousand gold together to finally make her wish come true.
"Where are we going to eat for lunch? What are we going to eat?"
After climbing into the passenger seat and slamming the door, the little man opened his mouth and asked.
Although Xue Xiang is not busy at work, he still has to work from 8 to 5. When time is tight, he naturally has no time to cook. On weekdays, he either takes the little guy out to find a restaurant, or he packs the food from the restaurant.
Sent back.
Fortunately, these days, the ingredients are fresh and business is booming. Those shady shops that make money are basically extinct, so you can feel free to eat out.
Xue Xiang stretched out his hand and hit her on the head, "I just know how to eat. If I continue to eat, I will become a noob."
The little guy followed Xue Laosan and had a good appetite all day long. He has indeed become a lot rounder. Fortunately, he has a lean face. His little face is still delicate, and he doesn't look fat at all.
The little guy rolled his eyes, stretched out a pair of small hands, squeezed hard on his round belly, and it made a bucket ring. In an instant, his delicate little eyebrows collapsed.
Xue Xiang looked at it funny. He was afraid that she would worry about her little thoughts and torment him again, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, you are at the age when you are growing taller. When the time comes, you will lose weight naturally."
The little guy does know the meaning of drawing a strip. She once worried about gaining weight, and Xue Laosan also used this explanation to comfort her.
However, at this moment, Xue Xiang's words didn't work. The little lady has not grown much in recent years. She is half a head shorter than the female classmates in her class, and she is not as tall as her three brothers and sisters.
He is tall and has a tendency to grow into a radish.
She quietly touched her head. The little guy stopped talking and frowned. She sat and worried. She was afraid that like Xiaobai, she would never grow up.
Xue Xiang knew her thoughts and comforted her: "Don't worry, your second sister and I are not as tall as you at our age. I'm sure you will grow taller in another two years!"
Xue Laosan is not lying at all. Just looking at the height of the three sisters, the little one is not much lower. The little man is not growing now. It is just due to a partial eclipse. When the time comes, he will get more big stick bones to make soup and drink.
In the past few months, I have seen results.
After hearing Xue Xiang's words, the little man immediately became energetic. When he thought about his eldest brother and his second sister, this is normal.
It would be better if you were shorter. If you are too tall, you will look thin. Hey, I really don’t want to grow taller like this.
Xue Xiang looked at this arrogant and cute little sister and could only shake his head.
When the car passed the Xingfu Pastry Shop, Xue Xiang stopped the car. Although he was congratulating his uncle on his birthday this time, he had to prepare a birthday gift for a junior coming to visit. Although Xue Xiang had never met this commander of the East China Sea Fleet,
But I heard that Xue Anyuan introduced him on the phone that he was his uncle's old subordinate. He was also an old man who was separated from the old A Army during the Korean War. He was considered one of his own.
Therefore, Xue Xiangbei's birthday gift does not need to be too expensive, it only needs to be acceptable in terms of face, and it seems that there is no other substitute for the birthday peach that can take care of face and suit the situation.
"Bread for lunch?" The little guy's face turned pale as he held the buttery bread in the glass cabinet, "I don't want to eat it. I heard from my second sister that eating greasy food makes you gain weight!"
After Xue Xiang greeted the chef of the pastry shop, he picked up some good longevity peaches and wrapped them in a gift box, and said with a smile, "I will take you to a banquet at noon. This pastry is for someone else!"
As soon as the clinker Xue Xiang finished speaking, he heard a familiar male voice coming from behind him, "It's a great feast for Director Xue, but I've hit you hard, and you can't leave me alone no matter what you say!"
Xue Xiangxunsheng looked around and saw that it was Tie Jin, the deputy director of the municipal bureau who he had worked with a few days ago. At this moment, Tie Jin was holding a yellow bread in one hand and stuffing it into his mouth as he walked from a distance.
After working together once, Xue Xiang had a good impression of the Railway Director. When they met here by chance, they naturally had to exchange pleasantries, so they extended their hands from a distance.
The two chatted for a few words. When Director Tie saw the little guy next to Xue Xiang, he stuffed the other piece of uneaten bread into the little guy's hand. The little guy was so frightened that he had forgotten all manners and went straight to Xue Xiang.
Cat behind.
To say that Tie Jin is purely kind-hearted, in this day and age, bread and other things can definitely be regarded as luxury goods compared to ordinary people's homes, because the materials for making them include eggs, butter, white sugar, and fine white flour.
All are in short supply.
Let alone bread, ordinary counties don’t even have bakeries.
Tie Jin thought the little guy was shy, so Xue Xiang smiled and declined on behalf of the little guy, saying that she didn't like sweets, so he excused himself.
"What's the matter, the dignified police chief, are you going to use this to deal with me at noon?"
Bread and butter is considered a luxury item for ordinary people, but for the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Mingzhu City, it is really not a luxury item. Therefore, Xue Xiangfang asked this question.
Tie Jin finished eating the two slices of bread in a few mouthfuls and said with a smile: "We say he is the director of the Public Security Bureau, but in fact he is just a police officer. How can he be compared to your dignified director Xuan He of the Supervision Office? To be honest, this time,
But I have been dragged down by you, Director Xue, so I have to go have lunch with you at noon today, otherwise I will suffer a big loss."
Xue Xiangzhi was talking about the 9.30 case. After all, this Railway Director was not like Xue Yanei. He had a strong backing and a strong background. This Railway Director was not well-received in the city bureau. After this incident, the top leader, Director Zhao, became even more unruly.
Seeing him, Director Iron was completely sidelined in the bureau. Even the household registration and transportation work that he was originally in charge of were removed and transferred to others, making him a real empty hand.
"Isn't it just a meal? What a big deal. Let's go together. It's a banquet after all. Whoever eats it doesn't eat it!"
While talking, Xue Xiang took the packaging box handed to him from the cupboard, took the little guy in hand, and then called Director Iron to get on the train.
In fact, if it was someone else's birthday, Xue Xiang might not call Shang Tiejin, but the Commander of the Guard was not an outsider, so Xue Laosan was naturally more casual when congratulating him on his birthday.
Furthermore, for the Railway Director to say this, he was obviously very willing to get close to him, Xue Laosan, and Xue Laosan would never refuse someone thousands of miles away.
Since it was almost time, after the three of them got into the car, Xue Xiang drove very fast.
Xue Xiang had already heard from Xue Anyuan on the phone about the place to go to the banquet. He followed the map and found the place, and it was not too slow to get there.
The car left the city and headed towards a remote area. Along the road, the crowds and the vegetation were gradually sparse. The railway director couldn't help but ask where they lived and why they lived in such a remote place. Looking at their appearance, they seemed to live by the sea.
.
Sure enough, when I saw the sea in the distance, the car finally stopped in front of an iron gate. I got out of the car and looked inside the iron gate. The vegetation was lush and the area was vast, making it look like a manor.
Xue Xiang didn't have an invitation in his hand. He originally thought that when he entered, he would have to go through a lot of trouble and call the host to confirm his identity. However, at the door post, he saw his license plate and the gift box in his hand.
The three of them were let go without even asking about their attire.
It turns out that it was the birthday of the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards and he didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. The clinker news came out that a lot of military dignitaries from the East China Military Region came. Because no invitations were sent out, many of the people who came came had their identities.
He was questioned one by one, which was obviously rude. In addition, after a whole morning, there were many guests coming and going, so the host had already ordered the door to stop people.
Moreover, Xue Xiang and the other three drove up, and they knew from the weather that they were officials, and they also carried gift boxes. The gate guard knew that they were here to celebrate the birthday of the Commander of the Guard, so naturally they would not stop them in the slightest.
It was easy to get in. Since there was no one to guide them, the three of them wandered along the main road. They were surrounded by flowers and willows in the distance, and mountains and rivers appeared frequently. It was a place with excellent scenery.
After walking for four or five minutes, Tie Jin suddenly stopped and said in surprise: "I remembered, this should be the jurisdiction of the East China Sea Fleet base. Are we attending the wedding banquet of some big boss of the East China Sea Fleet?"
Xue Xiang nodded lightly, and with a snap, Director Tie slapped him on the forehead, shouting in a low voice: "Director Xue mistaken me, Director Xue mistaken me, if I had known this, why would I have joined in the fun!"
ps: In my hometown in the south of the Yangtze River, the power is cut off. I don’t call until after five o’clock every afternoon before cooking. I can’t help it. From now on, the update time will be in the evening. Please forgive me. (To be continued.)
