Yue Wen has always believed that parents' birthdays are another important festival in life besides the Spring Festival, because the themes of these two festivals are family reunions. However, parents' birthdays are only attended by their children, while the Spring Festival is celebrated by thousands of families at the same time.
So in his heart, his parents' birthday is his most important holiday so far.
This year, his father Yue Kui's birthday falls on the weekend. In the past, it always fell on the weekend. Because he served Liao Xiangting, he didn't have time to go home. But this year is different. As the leader of the unit, he has the final say on his own time.
I got in touch with Ge Huixian yesterday. Ge Huixian drove back with her sister Yue Yan, and he drove back to Fangjiadian Town, Xixiakou early.
Yue Kui is fifty-eight years old this year. People in rural areas say that he is in vain, and this birthday is not a big birthday. In the past, when Yue Wen did not come back, Yue Yan was also going to school outside, and his birthdays were spent with a bunch of old buddies from the street.
However, this year he has retreated. Although he is not alienated from his old buddies, he feels a little lonely when he sees people celebrating their birthdays with their children and grandchildren around them.
When Yue Wen drove the car home, Fang Xiulan was already busy in the kitchen, "Mom, stop being busy and go out to eat." Yue Wen walked into the kitchen, picked up a cucumber, and dipped it in some miso.
"I've prepared everything," Fang Xiulan looked at the chopping board and the dishes on the chopping board, "Let's wait until your dad's sixtieth birthday before eating outside."
"Don't I want you to have a rest?" Yue Wen said with a smile, pulling Fang Xiulan out of the kitchen, "Just go to Xixiakou Hotel. Huixian and Yanyan will go directly from Qinwan."
Yue Kui didn't stop him from smoking. It was his birthday today. In his words, everything was as arranged.
Five people in the family booked a private room for six people. As soon as the three of them sat down in the room, the hotel manager walked in with a smile, and Yue Wen quickly greeted him with a smile.
Although this person is a man, he is a wife-like master. Seeing Mayor Li personally hosting a banquet for Yue Wen, Mayor Tian and Secretary-General Song valued him. He also left Yue Wen's number. As soon as Yue Wen showed up today,
Let him touch it.
Well, a large bouquet of flowers and a big cake were immediately placed in the room. The hotel manager was also a smart person. After saying a few polite words, he immediately excused himself and left.
Yue Kui looked at the bouquet of flowers and said, "Okay, there are so many flowers." He took out one and said, "I'll give it to you, old lady."
Fang Xiulan took it with a smile and put it on the table. She picked up the cigarettes on the table and handed them to Yue Kui. Seeing Yue Wen put down the phone, she smiled and said, "Is it easy for my son to celebrate your birthday? I did a rough count."
, from the time we walked in to now, there have been at least ten phone calls, right?"
Yue Wen smiled and called the waiter over, "Change me to a larger room, an eight-person room." He explained to his parents with a smile, "The manager here reported to Mayor Tian and Secretary-General Song.
They'll come over later to toast."
Fang Xiulan and Yue Kui were also figures in the scene, and they were familiar with this set of human relations skills. "I heard that Mayor Tian is going to take over as the organization director." Yue Kui said with a smile, he was still very concerned about the city's promotions and appointments.
"Oh, then I have to give him a congratulation." Yue Wen smiled and answered the phone again, but his voice was much more casual, "Why are you here? Okay, you've come here, can you go back again? Well, it's in the west
Xiakou Hotel, come directly." After putting down the phone, he said, "Heiba, Baobao, Biaozi and Silkworm Chrysalis are here and have entered the city."
Yue Kui and Fang Xiulan were very happy, "You just arrived in the development zone and are not familiar with the place. Thanks to such a group of people, I will invite them to come with me for my birthdays in the future."
Yue Kui likes to be lively. When he was working in the street, he would invite a group of people to play poker at noon. There was always a big group of people in the office. It was a joke when the top candidates were selected at the end of the year. He got more votes than the leader.
.
"Waiter, please give me a bigger room." Yue Wen, the waiter, has always been very polite, and they need more respect.
"Uncle, aunt,...oh, I said there's no need to buy a cake." Heiba saw the big cake as soon as he entered the room. He put a box of wine on the small cabinet, "Yue Bureau, guess who is here."
?”
Yue Wen looked at his parents, "Who else is there?"
Bao Bao also smiled and saw Fang Xiulan and Yue Kui, "Director Tao, Bureau Ruan, and..."
"Brilliant." Yue Wen guessed.
"And Jiang Xiaoyun." Biaozi said quickly.
"Please come in!" Yue Kui said happily. He was really happy. He often said that if a family wants to be prosperous, pigs are big, dogs are fat, and children are fat. So many people come to celebrate his birthday without notice. This shows that he
If your son makes friends with servants, he will have a future!
Before he stood up and walked out of the room, Tao Sha, Ruan Chenggang, Gao Ming and others opened the door and walked in.
"Uncle - aunt -"
Warm greetings suddenly rang out in the private room, "Xiao Tao doesn't smoke, right? Xiao Ruan smokes!"
"Uncle, aunt, you smoke my smoke, taste this smoke, golden years..."
Yue Kui and Fang Xiulan, old smokers, took the cigarettes from Ruan Chenggang, knowing that they must be good cigarettes and specially provided internally!
"Xiaoyun, sit down quickly, this child has become even more beautiful." Fang Xiulan held Jiang Xiaoyun down on the seat with a cigarette in her mouth, next to her, "I heard that she is now the police station chief?"
"They are all instructors!" Heiba added with a smile, but Yue Wen waved him over, "Go to the front desk and change to a big table!"
Just now, Ge Huixian called. She and Yue Yan had already driven into the city. Yesterday, Yue Yan was quick to talk, Ren Gongcheng, Zhang Qian, Ni Liang and Yongmei also came over. They also had time on the weekend and came to wish the elderly a birthday.
Yue Wen made a rough count and found that there were seventeen or eight people. If the leaders of Xixiakou City came to propose a toast again, they would not be able to accommodate them.
Entering the big room, Ruan Chenggang looked at Tao Sha and said, "Boss, it's my uncle's birthday today. How about I let my uncle sit as one guest and my aunt as the second guest? You will be the host and accompany us."
Tao Sha smiled and said, "Okay, we brothers are not outsiders. Awen will be an escort."
Yue Wen smiled, "You are guests from afar..."
"Hey, Director Yue, you will have to drink as a fine later. Do you really treat us as guests?" Gao Ming immediately caught Yue Wen's words.
While the two were talking about each other, the door opened again, and three cakes appeared at the door. Even the person who delivered the cakes was a little stunned. It seemed that it was not a cake shop.
"Look at you guys, just come here. Why can't you order so many cakes and still not be able to eat them all?" Yue Kui looked at the four cakes in the room. Two of them were double-layered. How can I eat them? He might as well not eat them all.
No need, just eat the cake.
"Where did you send it?" Yue Wen hurriedly walked over.
"Secretary Song is in charge of the government."
"Mayor Tian's."
"It belongs to the Secretary of the History of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee."
Ruan Chenggang lit his pipe and said calmly, "I asked Lao Shi to order it, and he will come over later to toast." It seemed that Ruan Chenggang was very familiar with the senior political and legal official and the director of the Xixiakou Public Security Bureau.
"Then put them in." Yue Wen said, "Brother Bage, take two to the front desk and give them to the waiter." Heiba and Baobao smiled and went out.
Tao Sha did not need a waiter and opened a bottle of Moutai himself, "Uncle, for your birthday, we must drink Moutai."
Yue Wen looked at the bottle in Tao Sha's hand. The outer layer of paper had turned yellow. He took it with a smile. There were also the words "Produced by the local state-owned Maotai Distillery" on it.
"Boss, this is the Moutai from before 1988. After 1988, it is labeled as produced by the Kweichow Moutai Distillery in China. Well, there is no calibration number on it, so it should be the wine before 1986."
Tao Sha smiled and said, "You are a jack of all trades. This is Maotai in 1983."
Oh, it's been more than 20 years, and that bottle costs more than 10,000.
Everyone was looking at the wine in their hands when the door was pushed open. Ge Huixian, Yue Yan, Ren Gongcheng, Zhang Qian, Ni Liang and Yongmei walked in with a smile. Ren Gongcheng had another cake and a flower basket in his hand.
Ge Huixian smiled and nodded to everyone, but when she saw Jiang Xiaoyun sitting next to Fang Xiulan, she was obviously taken aback.
