Chapter 118: Great New Year Greetings in Xiao County
When Xue Xiang took out the jade pendant, there was no need to argue. Everyone knew who won and who lost in this gambling game. Xiaoyi simply took out a stack of red envelopes from his wallet and handed it to the little guy:
"A whole fifty-five yuan, just order it!"
The little guy's gambling is very good, and he always pays attention to being fair and aboveboard in all the card games. This time, he relied on Xue Xiang's guidance to win. The little guy also knows that winning is hard, and he has no nerve to bet lightly, so he took it
He pushed it back and said with a shy face: "I was just joking, but you still take it seriously."
The little guy rarely looked so embarrassed. His face was red and his teeth were white, and his smile was extremely cute. He looked at Xue Xiang with joy. The little guy was displeased and threw himself into Xue Xiang's arms to launch a new round of military attacks. Xue Xiang accompanied him.
Playing with her
At this moment, he suddenly handed the jade pendant in his hand to Xiao Wan: "Xiao Wan, just take this object. I see that you don't usually have jewelry. You are already a big girl. How can this be done? This piece
The jade pendant suits you just right, take it and wear it."
Xiao Wan was slightly stunned, then waved her hands urgently and said, "I don't want it. This jade pendant is too conspicuous and I can't wear it. I'd better give it to Xiao Shi to play with."
This jade pendant is like a nine-day artifact and a female accessory. How could this girl not like it when she sees it? Xiao Wan also loves this jade pendant very much, but seeing the little guy staring at it, no
I was willing to compete with it, so I declined.
Xue Xiang smiled and said: "This is not a child's toy. It is what a big girl like you wears. Although it is eye-catching when worn, we can wear it in our own room. Take it. Xiaoshi doesn't need it now. Wait.
When she used it, her elder brother also gave her a piece.
The little guy is now nearly ten years old. He is no longer just a fun-loving, unreasonable kid. After looking at it for a long time, he realized that his sister must like this jade pendant very much. She just looked after herself, and when she was moved, she said: "
Second sister, you want
Well, I don’t like this color, I like purple. Next time I find purple, I’ll give it to you. However, it’s not a gift from my eldest brother. It’s a gift from me, because this jade pendant was found by others, so I’m not allowed to give it to you.
Big brother abuses favors."
The little guy's words made everyone happy.
Xiao Wan accepted the jade pendant as promised, and Xue Xiang was afraid that there was some great treasure hidden in it. After all, with the current exchanges of favors, as close as Hu Liming, Qiu Zhiguo gave this golden dragon, and the jade pendant was already a bit out of date, and he had to find an opportunity to repay it.
Equivalent items, after all
You should pay attention to what should be paid attention to, so as not to cause other problems. It is not convenient to accept the gifts from Hu Liming and Qiu Zhiguo. If other people's gifts are precious, it is even more inappropriate to put them in their own purses. Therefore, Xue Xiang greeted the three little ones,
Work together to dismantle the gift boxes in front of you.
Another half an hour later, all the gift boxes were dismantled, and Xue Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that among the dozens of gift boxes left, there were no items worth more than a hundred yuan. The most expensive ones were tobacco and alcohol, and the most expensive ones were fine.
Cordyceps and ginseng. They can be regarded as ordinary gifts for normal people.
But the four of them finished dismantling the gift boxes, sorting the gifts and putting them away, and then sat back on the sofa. It was almost ten o'clock, and Xue Anyuan still hadn't returned, and the little guy and the others were not sleepy at all. What do you think? So it turns out that
The three children all knew that Xue Xiang was going to Liaodong tomorrow, and they were reluctant to leave.
, I want to spend more time with this eldest brother who is both father and brother, and the little guy no longer lives with Xue Xiang and wants to go to Liaodong to study, but Xue Xiang knows that children frequently change their learning environment, which is extremely detrimental to learning, body and mind.
, so Xue Anyuan was used to prevaricate.
The little guy was one year younger and quite sensible. He knew that his uncle was lonely in his later years and really needed someone to accompany him. Therefore, he rested for a while and then rested. Not long after, he started making noises again, asking Xue Xiang to agree to her.
, I told her a story all night long, and after my request was approved, I had to perform it again.
Xue Xiang chatted and laughed with San Xiaoxiao until the wall clock in the nave struck eleven and Xue Anyuan's figure appeared in the courtyard.
Xue Anyuan came into the hall, and the little guy and Xiaoyi jumped forward. Those who packed their coats packed their coats, and those who brought tea brought tea. They were very busy.
It was an unspeakable joy to return home at night in front of the children's talk lamp. Xue Anyuan looked at her children around her knees, and the fatigue of the day seemed to be gone immediately. She picked up the little person holding tea on one side and asked her happily.
Learning to be frivolous, the four uncles and nephews chatted for a while again. It wasn't until the wall clock struck twelve that Xiao Wan caught Xiao Yi and went into the kitchen to get water to wash up. Only then did Xue Xiang and Xue Anyuan get some alone time.
"Lao San, I've also heard about the incident between you and the Wu boy. I didn't take it to heart last time. This time, I have to tell you to be on guard against others!"
Xue Anyuan said such a sentence carelessly, which made Xue Xiang startled and said anxiously: "Is it possible that you have heard some rumors again? It's not that big of a deal. Mr. Wu doesn't have the ability no matter how hard he tries, right?"
Xue Anyuan waved his hand and said: "That's natural. He is a kid, so naturally he is not so capable. It's just that I met Comrade Zi Han in the Military Commission compound today. Seeing his smiling face but not smiling, I felt sad in my heart.
This is a warning sign. In short, we should guard against villains and not gentlemen. There is no harm in staying behind in everything."
Xue Xiang pondered for a moment and nodded silently in agreement.
…
The fifth day of the first lunar month is the day of Kunyuan. It is suitable to travel far and get married.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Xue Xiang stepped into the courtyard of the Xiaoshan County Party Committee, stepping on the golden glow of the morning sun.
"Mr. Xue, happy new year and good luck."
"County Magistrate Xue, happy new year, congratulations on the new year!"
"County Magistrate Xue, happy New Year!"
"..."
Xue Xiang had not walked ten steps in the courtyard when he was drowned out by a steady stream of congratulations. Sometimes he nodded and sometimes said hello with a smile. When he met an older person, he would never stop and offer a cigarette or two.
It took Xue Xiang half an hour to walk the two hundred meters from the entrance of the compound to the main building hall.
Opening the office door, Chu Zhaohui was already there. Seeing Xue Xiang enter, he immediately stood up from the table to say hello to the New Year. Xue Xiang actually took out a red envelope from his wallet and handed it over with a smile. Seeing this, Chu Zhaohui waved his hands desperately.
If you refuse, there is no rule in Biandao for superiors to give courtesy to subordinates.
Xue Xiang said with a smile: "Rules are made by people. It's not too late for us to make them today. Just keep them for you. It's not much, just two packs of cigarette money. It's a new year and a new atmosphere. May it be festive and auspicious!"
To say that Xue Xiang has always been very kind to the people around him, although there are factors in his nature that value affection and righteousness, his own way of managing people is naturally indispensable, which is to extend kindness widely and repay unfailingly. This kind of routine,
Quite similar to the Spring and Autumn period, the method of winning over heroes and dead soldiers. Zhuanzhu,
Yu Rang, Yao Li, Jing Ke and others are all escaping into the hands of those who control people. Of course, Xue Xiang does not seek death, so he does not need to make every effort to make friends.
It's just a long-term thing, there are rewards but no rewards, but I'm not really harsh and careful.
But Chu Chaohui saw that Xue Xiang was very sincere and couldn't shirk it anymore. He took the red envelope with both hands and bowed to Xue Xiang respectfully.
Xue Xiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Zhaohui, let's not be so polite. Let's go. I'm not in a hurry to go to work right now. Come with me to pay New Year's greetings."
To elaborate, Xue Xiang was in a hurry to say goodbye two years ago. He only hurriedly attended the New Year group worship and then returned to Beijing. However, he and a group of colleagues in the county did not move around. According to Chinese customs, during this New Year festival,
Season, don’t come back at the right time
It's easy to say that when we meet, we can't live without him. What's more, Xue Xiang is ranked low in the county committee team, and he is the youngest. No matter how you calculate it, he should be responsible for all the interactions between colleagues.
This little comrade went to the door first.
Although it is the fifth day of the first lunar month, strictly speaking, it is already the official working day of the county committee and the county government. However, in fact, for the county committee and the county government to operate normally, it must be after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. However, just in case, Xue Xiang still went around.
The offices of the following members of the Standing Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress
After walking around a circle, I planned to meet him, so I said New Year greetings here, and it was settled. But after walking around, Zhang Daozhong, the director of the county party committee office, was still stuck in the office. Although not all the other offices were occupied by Iron General.
The gatekeepers are usually correspondents or secretaries.
After Xue Xiang sat in Zhang Daozhong's office for a while, he stood up and said goodbye, and went straight to the Tongzi Tower on the side of the county party committee compound. It took nearly three hours for Xue Xiang to finish running through Wei Qiming, Yu Dingzhong, Wei Qingfeng, Wang Jian, and Qi Chu
, Wang Wei, Tietong, and Song Yuntong, except for Wei Qiming and Yu Dingzhong, who went to the province to pay New Year greetings, were received by their respective families, but for the other families, every family was not disappointed, and all the heads of family were there.
Perhaps due to the Spring Festival, every household that visited was extremely hospitable and tried their best to save food. Even Song Yuntong, who once wanted to fight Xue Xiang at the Standing Committee meeting, rarely showed a smile and greeted his daughter-in-law.
Food. But Xue Xiang plans to finish all these trivial matters in one day, so there is no merit.
Naturally, he refused to eat with his husband one by one. The most enthusiastic man was as passionate as iron, and the fight became more like a fight. He called his second son, who worked in the county party committee secretariat, and started a chase downstairs. However, Xue Xiang was very determined to go, until
I promised to come to Tie's house to celebrate the Lunar New Year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and then I was able to escape unscathed.
Apart from the above-mentioned families who live in Tongzilou, only three families, Liao Guoyou, Wei Lan, and Zheng Chong, still need to go. Xue Xiang went to Liao Guoyou's house, but he remembered the way, so he turned west and walked out of the county party committee compound to make a toilet.
When Xue Xiang arrived, both Liao and his wife were there. Not only did these two
At home, there was a house full of relatives. Xue Xiang suddenly came to the door. Before Liao Guoyou could say anything, Zhang Ping burst out laughing. First, she pulled Xue Xiang into the house, found famous tea and cigarettes from the inner room, and then greeted her.
A few card players, playing games with her big brother.
But Zhang Ping was said to have very good communication skills, and Xue Xiang seemed to be like her natal brother, very affectionate. When the relatives in the room heard that the person in front of them was the county magistrate, they all didn't believe it before, but when they saw Zhang Ping
Ping was so attentive and so considerate when meeting others, she sat with Liao Guoyou, a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee
He talks and laughs freely, and his momentum is as good as that of others. He is still slightly higher than others. There is no doubt at all. Hearing Zhang Ping shouting and playing cards, no one in the group dares to come forward. (To be continued. If you like this movie,
