"Giggle..." The little guy laughed like a silver bell, "Oh, I hit the big guy!"
Xue Xiang's gaze finally moved outside.
It is now the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, February 6th, 1986. It has always been very cold in the north. Since the beginning of winter, there has been heavy snowfall one after another, and there is no sign of spring at all.
Last night, there was a heavy snowfall, covering the whole world in a vast and white color.
The weather is extremely cold. No matter whether inside or outside the house, everyone is like a burning chimney with white smoke bulging out.
It is not suitable to go out for activities in winter, but it is the best time to go out for activities. For children, the snowy days they only see a few times a year are natural playgrounds given by nature.
In the morning, the little guy got up early. After all, he has grown up. He no longer bangs on the door of Xue Xiang's room first thing like before, pulls Xiaoyi, and runs out. He plays until noon and then runs out.
When he came back, he rewarded Xue Xiang with a university cannon before he even entered the door.
Xue Laosan received a blow, his childlike innocence suddenly rose, and he jumped out. The little guy laughed and slipped out. As he slipped, he turned back to tease Xue Xiang. From time to time, he stretched out his hand to flirt and winked. He was very proud.
.
Playing with her, Xue Xiang suppressed his energy, relaxed his nerves, and chased after her at the pace of an ordinary person. Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang went out, he was hit on the head again, and a ball of snow exploded.
Xiaoyi chuckled and walked out from the corner of the door.
It turned out that the little guy had been prepared for it. The move just now was to lure the snake out of the hole, and he had prepared an ambush early. Xue Xiang suppressed his skills, and naturally he was the only one who got hit.
"Okay, let's play Thirty-Six Strategies with your elder brother. You are still a bit greener."
Xue Laosan gave a loud shout, picked up two handfuls of snow, held it gently without compacting it, and held out a big snow ball. With a loud shout, he put both hands forward, and the two snow flakes were shot out on the ground.
, spanning twenty or thirty meters across the sky, one from the south to the other, and accurately found the little guy and Xiaoyi who were running.
With a bang, two snowballs hit their shoulders and exploded. Immediately, a snowstorm fell, covering their heads and faces. They were so excited.
He was hit. How could the little guy obey? With a small shout, he picked up two handfuls of snow and ran towards Xue Xiang. As he ran, he shouted, "Don't hide, or I won't eat at noon."
He caught Xue Xiang so unreasonably and smashed two handfuls of snow on Xue Xiang's neck before giving up.
The three brothers and sisters played in the snow for a long time, and then Xiao Xie from the logistics department came over to urge them to eat, and then they stopped.
Xue Xiang was leading the little brother and sister towards the house. Not far away, a horn sounded. Looking at the sound, a green jeep was speeding towards this direction. The three of them stopped. The Xue family has a high family background.
It is a single courtyard with a single gate and Yutang Mountain as its back. The gate reaches a tributary of Haizi. With the gate as the center, there are guard booths for one kilometer in front and back. If a car can drive to this place, it is obviously heading for the Xue family.
Soon, the jeep stopped in front of the three people, and three men and two women stepped out of the car.
The little guy shouted happily, "Brother Yang!" and rushed towards the tall young man who came down from the cockpit.
That person was Xue Yang, the eldest son of Xue Xiang's third uncle. When Xue Xiang took up his duties at Mingzhu, Xue Yang had just graduated from school and was working as the deputy director of an office in a large state-owned enterprise in Mingzhu. At that time, the little guy was also studying at Mingzhu and had quite a lot of contacts with Xue Yang.
, the two got along well.
"Hello, third aunt!"
Xue Xiang rushed forward to say hello to the noble lady standing at the head. In the winter, Feng Guizhi was wearing a fiery red fur coat, looking very cool.
Xue Xiang really didn't like this third aunt, and they had only met her a few times. In the few times they met, Feng Guizhi played her bitter, selfish and philistine character to the extreme.
This is a strange thing among the elders, Xue Xiang privately defined Feng Guizhi this way.
But no matter how sarcastic he was, he was still an elder. Xue Xiang respected his third uncle and always treated his third aunt with respect and respect.
"Still so thin, I need to eat more meat to replenish my body."
Feng Guizhi glanced at Xue Xiang and said, "I'm tired. Let's arrange a room to rest and change into a satin quilt. I can't sleep well with other satin ones." After saying that, he stepped forward.
"Guizhi!" The stocky middle-aged man next to Xue Yang shouted in a low voice, "Don't leave in a hurry, we haven't been introduced yet."
Feng Guizhi said, "Third brother, this is my eldest brother. You follow Xue Yang and call me uncle, followed by your second uncle and second aunt."
Feng Guizhi came back unexpectedly this time, and Xue Xiangzao and Xue Pingyuan knew by phone that the base where the third uncle was located had important scientific research tasks and he would not be coming back to celebrate the New Year this year.
Unexpectedly, Feng Guizhi suddenly came back and brought his natal brother with him. Xue Xiang was a little caught off guard, but still followed the etiquette and rushed to shake hands.
"Hello, hello, I heard that Secretary Xue is studying at the party school, but I didn't expect him to be at home."
The stocky middle-aged man tightly grasped the big hand extended by Xue Xiang with both hands, and said with a smile on his face, "My name is Feng Chunlai. I have just been promoted to deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee's Inspection Office. Strictly speaking, Secretary Xue is my old superior."
The Feng family is a native of Mingzhu, and Feng Chunlai's municipal committee is the Mingzhu Municipal Committee. In the early years, Xue Xiang was serving as the director of the inspection office of the Mingzhu Municipal Committee. Feng Chunlai insists on such a pull, which is really relevant.
Xue Xiang said, "Uncle, you're welcome. I'm a junior, how can I be worthy of being spoken to by an old superior?"
Feng Chunlai said, "You, um, you are too humble. There is still a legend about you in the inspection room."
Feng Chunlai was really in awe of Xue Xiang, not because of Xue Anyuan. Only after entering the inspection room did he know how many earth-shattering things his sister's cousin had done.
On the way here, he also asked Xue Yang about where Xue Xiang was working now and what level he was at.
As soon as he heard that Xue Xiangdu had been deputy director for two years and was studying at the Central School, and after completing his further studies, he would be promoted to the main director, Feng Chunlai immediately felt that his heart was not feeling well.
The twenty-six-year-old Zhengtang has never heard of, let alone seen.
Xue Xiang was the most impatient of such meaningless greetings. He exchanged a few polite words with Feng Chunlai, then greeted Xue Yang's third uncle Feng Xialai and third aunt Xu Cuifeng, and then led everyone towards home.
The Xue family was well-established, and the Feng brothers were mentally prepared for this. When they came to the house, they saw all kinds of sentries and cold firearms. They were so excited that they almost didn't know which foot to take before walking.
After entering the house, Feng Guizhi went straight to Xiao Wan's room and ordered as she went, "Someone, come here, help me change the bed and install the TV for me. I want to watch the Spring Festival Gala."
Xue Xiangchong winked at the guard chief on duty, who agreed and went to work.
Feng Guizhi went, and the atmosphere suddenly improved. The Feng brothers and female relatives were arranged by Xue Xiang to go to the wing in the front yard. Xiao Yi and Xiao Shi were impatient to watch their third aunt show off her power at home, so they greeted Xue Xiang.
Then he went to Beijing University to find Su Meiren, leaving Xue Yang in the living room to talk.
"Third brother, my mother's philistine mentality probably won't change in her lifetime, so don't mind."
Xue Yang is also twenty-four this year and has been working for four years. The experience in the agency has made him calmer. He is no longer the young boy who used to fight for small toys.
Xue Xiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "As for my family, let's get over this. How about it? It's going well in the factory recently."
There are only three members of the Xue family, Xue Anyuan. The eldest sister Xue Lin is married like a handsome man, but she has no intention of pursuing an official career. She lives a comfortable and comfortable life at home, caring for her husband and raising children.
There are four Xue Xiang brothers and sisters, but Xue Xiang is in official career and Xiao Wan and the three sisters are not yet adults.
Only the third uncle, Xue Yang, had half-stepped into the official career, so Xue Xiang would not fail to pay attention to his movements.
When Xue Xiang was transferred from Mingzhu, he greeted Geng Fulin, who had just been transferred to deputy secretary-general of the Mingzhu Municipal Government, and asked him to look after Xue Yang on his behalf.
Xue Yang said, "I just became a full-time employee a year ago, and my office work is just that. It can be summed up in two words: doing odd jobs, which is very boring."
Xue Xiang smiled and said, "I'm starting to complain, but that's normal. Young people, few can stand this. Yangzi, when you go to a place, if you want to make achievements, you still have to beat yourself in the mud."
Xue Yang was very happy. He came to Beijing with his mother this time. The Chinese New Year was the second most important thing. He wanted to complain more to his third brother, Xue Xiang, and change his position.
Three years ago, he believed that going to the factory was a shortcut, and he could be promoted after joining the company. The establishment of deputy department level was much faster than being transferred to a local department.
But three years later, when he accidentally met his classmates from another place, he suddenly discovered that those who flew fast did not necessarily fly well.
Moreover, the bureaucracy, especially the trivial matters of the factory bureaucracy, was really about to consume the last of his ambitions.
In the battle for the office director a year ago, he almost had two pig's trotters used, ruining his future. If Geng Fulin hadn't taken action in time, he would have been doomed.
Ever since he learned that Xue Xiang had asked people to look after him, Xue Yang felt warm in his heart, but he also had thoughts of being transferred away.
At this moment, he was extremely happy to see that his third brother took the initiative to mention it and did not say anything like his father in a grandiose tone: "Young people must endure loneliness."
Seeing that he was happy, Xue Xiang said, "Yangzi, don't be too happy too early. If you want to go down, I have no objection, but if you want to go down, you have to go down to the lowest level. Don't even think about staying in the rich nest of Mingzhu. You have to do your best to go there."
Preparation for the toughest towns."
Xue Xiang is not just showing off his experience, but he is well aware of the importance of grassroots resumes to cadres. He also knows that to understand the basic current situation of the country, there is no way to start from the grassroots.
Xue Yang said excitedly, "Brother, I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm just afraid of living a rough life."
"Good boy, you are so powerful!" Xue Xiang threw a cigarette.
The two brothers were chatting happily when Feng Xia came and knocked on the main door. Xue Xiang quickly stood up and said, "Second uncle, you don't have to be so polite. Come in, Yangzi, make tea for third uncle."
Feng Xia Lai said quickly, "No, no, no, I'm not thirsty." As he spoke, his two thick eyebrows turned up and down, revealing his cleverness.
Xue Xiang stood up in person and helped Feng Xia Lai make a cup of tea, put it on the coffee table in front of him, and said, "Second uncle, there must be something wrong with you when you come back. If there is anything, you say, I can't help it, I'm sure it won't happen."
Two words."
Ever since he found out the identities of the Feng brothers, Xue Xiang has been speculating on the two brothers' intentions. After all, how can a sister-in-law's family travel all the way to the uncle's house during the Chinese New Year? (To be continued...)
