Although the old man has stepped down from his position, his influence in the country is still very great.
No, on his birthday, many domestic dignitaries came to Lao Gao's house. Although the old man emphasized that there was no need to do anything, batch after batch of disciples and former officials came to congratulate him on his birthday, so we had to have a banquet. Of course,
Those who can come to celebrate birthdays and join the banquet are not low-status, at least at the deputy ministerial level.
In the current country, only officials above the deputy ministerial level can be called senior cadres, and those below this level can only be called officials.
Since Gao Lin didn't have many brothers and sisters, and the old Gao family didn't have many collateral relatives, Liu Siyi and Xu Sheng, who had been close to Gao Lin as brothers since childhood, came over to help. Even Nie Haidong came back from Beijing University to take a leave of absence.
helper.
Several juniors were busy serving tea and water to the guests, and at the same time arranging tables, chairs and stools for the guests to sit down. As for receiving guests in front of the door, it was not their turn to do this for juniors with no status.
, Aunt Meng and Uncle Liang, two important members of the old Gao family, personally greeted her.
According to common sense, the protagonist on the old man's birthday should be his. However, today's protagonist's halo was robbed by the little girl.
With her beautiful and lovely appearance, as well as her smart and lively appearance, the little girl just stole the attention of the guests. Many people were so happy when she called her sweetly "uncle" and "uncle" that they took turns to hug her.
Of course, the little girl's attentiveness is very purposeful. As long as she is picked up by someone, she opens her mouth and asks for sweets.
Since the old man emphasized that no one could bring gifts when entering the house, the guests all came empty-handed and would not bring any candies.
After asking several people in a row but no one had any candy, the little girl suddenly pouted her mouth and became sulky. She refused to be hugged by others and instead clung to the old man.
The old man loved her so much that she was like a treasure. He could withstand her coquettishness and cuteness, and soon someone brought her some toffee from the room.
The little girl got the toffee as she wished, and immediately ran to Gao Lin to show off to him.
However, Gao Lin had no time to pay attention to him. He watched guests come in one after another, and without stopping, he brought tea and greeted them.
The little girl was like a little tail that couldn't be shaken off, following him closely. No matter who hugged her, she ignored him and just followed Gao Lin. Many people knew Gao Lin and didn't know the little girl's identity at the same time.
As soon as the people came in, they were very surprised and asked Gao Lin when he got married and how he had such a beautiful daughter.
Every time Gao Lin wanted to explain, the little girl would innocently look at the person coming and ask, 'Dad, is this an uncle or an uncle?', making him dumbfounded.
After being busy for about half an hour, Chief No. 1 arrived with several accompanying officials.
To be honest, this is the first time Gao Lin has seen Chief No. 1 in person, because when Chief No. 1 took office, he was already in high school and did not go home often, so he did not have much chance to see him. However, the previous Chief No. 1
, he often saw him when he was a child. At that time, his grandfather went to play chess with the chief and often dragged him along.
Just like what was shown on TV, Chief No. 1 looked energetic and always had a gentle smile when he spoke, giving people a very close feeling.
Gao Lin wanted to bring the tea to him, but considering the identity of the other party, he ultimately didn't.
"Chief, why are you here!" Seeing Chief No. 1 visiting in person, the old man had to stand up to greet him.
"Haha, old chairman, what you are doing is not authentic. Everyone else has tea when they come in, why don't I?" After shaking hands with the old man, the No. 1 leader looked at Gao Lin and said with a smile, standing frozen on the spot.
"You brat, what are you doing? Are you willing to move unless the chief calls your name?" The old man turned around and scolded.
After hearing this, Gao Lin quickly walked over with tea, his expression full of embarrassment: "Chief, I'm sorry!"
"Chief, I'm sorry!" the little girl also followed Gao Lin, imitating the voice very innocently and cutely.
"Ah, this girl is so beautiful!" After taking the tea, Chief No. 1 turned to look at the little girl. However, he seemed to know the little girl's identity and did not ask Gao Lin like the others.
His daughter instead said kindly: "Girl, can you tell my great-uncle what your name is?"
Chief No. 1 is of the same generation as the old man, so the little girl is right to call him great-uncle.
"Xiao Xiao's name is Hua Xiao Xiao!" The little girl is accustomed to saying her nickname first and then saying anything else.
After saying her name, the little girl looked at Commander No. 1 with big flashing eyes and asked innocently: "Great uncle, what is your name? I often see you on TV!"
Hearing the little girl's question, not only the No. 1 leader, but also the accompanying officials behind him laughed.
"You're a little girl, why do you ask so many questions?" the old man said with his eyes widened dotingly.
"Great uncle asked Xiao Xiao's name, can't Xiao Xiao ask great uncle's name?" the little girl pouted her lips in grievance.
"Hahaha!" After hearing her words, the No. 1 leader and others laughed again.
"Okay, girl, go and bring a chair for great-uncle!" Gao Lin said quickly, fearing that the little girl would continue to pester the No. 1 leader and ask innocent questions.
"Oh!" The little girl nodded her head, turned around and wanted to move the chair, but before taking two steps, she stopped again, turned around and pouted her little mouth and said to Gao Lin, "Cousin, there are many people here, great uncle.
, I can’t move so many chairs by myself!”
"Hahaha!" This time, not only the No. 1 leader and others, but also the old man were amused by her words.
"This girl is so good. Old Chairman, you are very lucky!" After glancing at the little girl, Chief No. 1 turned his attention back to the old man.
"It's a blessing. I wish I didn't get mad at them!" Although he said this, there was a loving smile on the old man's lips.
Seeing that Chief No. 1 was being entertained by an old man, Gao Lin, a junior, didn't want to join in, so he made an excuse and left.
I have to say that the little girl actually moved a chair from inside.
The chair was almost as high as her, which made it extremely difficult for her to lift it up. Her little mouth bulged, as if it was very difficult for her.
"Come on, let me do it!" Gao Lin walked over with a smile, reaching out to grab the chair.
"No!" The little girl held the chair in place, preventing Gao Lin from grabbing it, "This is the chair Xiaoxiao brought. My cousin wants to move it, so go and get it yourself!"
As she said that, the little girl turned back and pointed into the guest room.
"Okay, you move, you girl will be exhausted!" Gao Lin lovingly pinched the little girl's delicate little face.
