Ouyang Jun was unwilling to return to Yuquan Mountain so early. After picking up the car, Zhuang Rui separated from Ouyang Jun. He went back to the courtyard first and put the password box containing hundreds of thousands of RMB in the courtyard.
He wouldn't dare leave this thing in the car in his basement.
It was said that when he was in Zhonghai, Zhuang Rui once heard that two rag pickers saw five yuan in a Mercedes-Benz. They smashed the window of the Mercedes-Benz with bricks and took the five yuan.
The money was stolen, leaving the car owner dumbfounded. What would happen if they caught the two people? In the end, he had to go to the insurance company to claim compensation.
After putting away the money, Zhuang Rui drove back to Yuquan Mountain. People from his mother's clan would be there today. Zhuang Rui usually ran around, but he wanted to stay with his mother no matter what. This was what Ouyang Wan had repeatedly told him.
of.
"Why are there so many cars?"
There is an open space at the corner of the road in front of Grandpa Zhuang Rui’s courtyard. Visitors usually park their cars here, but there are only very few people who can enter here on weekdays. They usually only have a few cars belonging to the family. Today
But there were a dozen or so cars parked, so Zhuang Rui had no choice but to park the car at the intersection.
"Hey, brother, why are you standing here?"
Zhuang Rui parked the car and just walked through the corner path. He looked up and saw Ouyang Lei standing at the door of the small courtyard. Next to him was a middle-aged man in his late thirties, wearing a neat suit, talking.
Talking to Ouyang Lei.
"Brother, are you back? This is your second cousin Ouyang Long, come and get to know him." Ouyang Lei saw Zhuang Rui and waved him over.
"Hello, second brother, I thought you would arrive at night."
Zhuang Rui stepped forward and said hello. Judging from the appearance of this second cousin, he looked somewhat similar to Ouyang Lei. Maybe it was because the old man had stronger genes. Zhuang Rui also had the same appearance as his mother, which was similar to this brother.
Standing together, those who didn't know each other thought they were all brothers.
"Is this Zhuang Rui from my sister-in-law's family? I was talking about you with my eldest brother just now. Yes, it is much better to build such a big industry with bare hands than just a few of us."
Ouyang Long was very affectionate towards Zhuang Rui, which had something to do with the meeting gift given to his sister-in-law just now. Before coming, Ouyang Long knew that his sister-in-law had not been in contact with her parents' family in these years, and had heard that she was very poor, but he did not expect that when they first met
, he gave his wife a piece of jewelry worth hundreds of thousands, which also made Ouyang Long stop scorning his sister-in-law's family.
"Second brother, don't make fun of me. These brothers are all on their own now. When will I have to take care of my younger brother?"
Zhuang Rui knew that Ouyang Long was the mayor of a city in the south. A thirty-eight-year-old full-time mayor was rare in the country. Of course, this was the same as his second uncle, Ouyang Long's father, who served as a provincial party committee member in a neighboring province.
The deputy secretary has a great relationship.
The Ouyang family can be said to be flourishing. Ouyang Zhenwu, the three elder brothers, and the eldest brother Ouyang Zhenhua, it is basically a foregone conclusion that he will enter the central office after this year's plenary session.
The second eldest brother, Ouyang Zhenshan, is slightly inferior to his eldest brother and third brother, but he has also been operating in a southern province for more than ten years. It is also considered a private land of the Ouyang family. Although he has never been promoted to deputy position, he still sacrificed for the family.
After all, the benefits can’t all be taken by one family.
Needless to say, Ouyang Zhenwu is only fifty-seven years old this year. According to his level, he can work until he is sixty-five years old. He hopes to go further.
Ouyang Zhenhua is the only son of Ouyang Lei. Ouyang Zhenshan has two. In addition to Ouyang Long in front of him, the second son is called Ouyang Lu. He also followed an official career. He is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy secretary somewhere in the northwest. Apart from Ouyang Jun,
, this family can be said to be a real political family.
"I just heard from my eldest brother that you went to the Pingzhou Jade Sale a few months ago. Next time you go there, you have to go find your second brother."
The city where Ouyang Long works is not far from Pingzhou. It is a big economic city. It is easy to take care of Zhuang Rui. There is so much work in urban construction, and it is not given to anyone. Of course, my brothers must take care of it first.
Some friends may be very unhappy when they see this, but this is also true. These days, there are really not many people who are open-minded and dedicated to serving the public. The money for the club run by Ouyang Jun is just relying on the past.
I earned it by reselling the approval documents.
"Then thank you second brother first. By the way, why are there so many cars here today? Are you afraid of disturbing the old man's rest?"
Zhuang Rui didn't take Ouyang Long's words to heart. He made money based on his "skills" and did not need to take advantage of his grandfather.
"Hey, it's like this every year. There are so many people coming to see my grandpa during the holidays. In the past, grandpa was not in good health, so he would just take a look and leave. But now, everyone wants to chat with grandpa. No, they all wait in the yard.
Where is it..."
As Ouyang Lei spoke, he gestured toward the courtyard. Zhuang Rui stretched his head and took a look. Sure enough, more than ten people were standing quietly in the courtyard.
What surprised Zhuang Rui the most was that there were seven or eight people here wearing military uniforms, and the lowest military rank on their shoulders was lieutenant general. There were also two generals with the rank of general, standing there with their bodies straight.
He was as straight as a soldier waiting to be received by his leader.
Zhuang Rui now understands why the two Ouyang Lei brothers are standing at the door. Regardless of the fact that they are the grandsons of the old man, with their status, they can only stand here to welcome guests so that it is not rude, otherwise they cannot
Let the old man stand at the door in person.
"Lao Xie, how is the chief's health?"
At this time, the door of the old man's room was opened, and a man with the rank of lieutenant general came out, and several other generals surrounded him.
"The chief is in good health. Commander Fang, please go in. The chief was talking about you just now..." the lieutenant general named Xie said to an admiral.
"What did the chief say about me?" Commander Fang asked nervously, but no one laughed at him. In front of Mr. Ouyang, no matter how high their positions were, they would not dare to take a breath.
"The chief said that you didn't give him wine last year and he wanted to teach you a lesson..." Lieutenant General Xie lowered his voice and said with a smile on his face.
"Well, old Xie, you dare to make fun of me because you have been a confidential secretary to the chief for several years. I will settle the score with you later." Commander Fang laughed and cursed, then straightened the buckle and buckle on his military uniform.
hat, and strode into the room.
"The guy who came out just now, we all call him Uncle Xie. When grandpa first came back, he served as his confidential secretary. Now he is also the deputy commander of a large military region..."
Ouyang Lei saw Zhuang Rui looking at the generals in shock and explained to him. However, when he said this, Ouyang Lei did not realize at all that his status was no lower than that of Lieutenant General Xie.
.
"Xiao Lei, I haven't seen you for a few years, why are you separated from Uncle Xie?"
Ouyang Lei was talking to Zhuang Rui when Lieutenant General Xie came over, slapped Ouyang Lei on the shoulder and said: "Yes, good boy, you have been a soldier since you were young. In a few years, you will be a soldier."
Uncle Xie will call you chief."
"Uncle Xie, what are you talking about? No matter what I do, I'm not the little kid who ran around with you since I was a child." Lieutenant General Xie was very happy with what Ouyang Lei said and pulled him in.
In the courtyard, he blended in with that group of generals.
"Brother, you just came back. Go inside and rest. My sister-in-law and the others are all inside..."
At this time, four or five more people came over the path. Ouyang Long knew that Zhuang Rui had little experience in receiving people, so after whispering to Zhuang Rui, he went up to them.
After Zhuang Rui returned to his room, he was still a little shocked. He used to see his grandpa as just an old man. At most, when he first met him, he associated him with the prototype character on the movie and TV screen. But as time went by, he just thought he was an old man.
He's just an ordinary old man.
But after seeing such a situation today, Zhuang Rui realized that even if the tiger is old, it is still in its glory, shaking the mountains and forests with its roar. Zhuang Rui saw that a certain leader often appeared on TV to express condolences to the old comrades, and every time
To say that these old comrades are the wealth of the country, Zhuang Rui now has a deeper understanding and should not look at the problem superficially.
"Hey, White Lion, don't make trouble, let's go back to the courtyard tomorrow..."
There were many people in the yard today. Ouyang Wan was afraid that the white lion would scare people, so she kept it in Zhuang Rui's room. Now when she saw Zhuang Rui coming in, she immediately rushed over excitedly and almost helped Zhuang Rui again with her big tongue.
Washed my face.
After appeasing the white lion, Zhuang Rui went to his mother's room, which was also very lively. Several sisters-in-law and his married cousin, after seeing Zhuang Rui, were all chattering and preparing to introduce a partner to this young brother.
Zhuang Rui ran away with a red face and ears.
"Hey, Xuan Bing, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Hiding back in the room, Zhuang Rui was thinking about calling Qin Xuanbing when his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Qin Xuanbing.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhuang Rui, do you miss me?"
I don’t know if the romantic atmosphere abroad has influenced Qin Xuanbing. For more than half a year, Qin Xuanbing has asked this question every time she talks on the phone. The coldness she used to have has long since disappeared.
"I think if you don't come back, my sisters-in-law and cousins will pack me up and sell me soon..." Zhuang Rui still felt a little shuddering thinking about those women who had great potential as matchmakers.
"Can't you come to the UK to see me? I...I miss you too..." After Qin Xuanbing said this, a blush appeared on her face.
"Okay, I will go to England after the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Zhuang Rui was also very excited at this time. Although the two of them often flirted on the phone, water from a distance could not quench their thirst. After hearing Qin Xuanbing's slightly suggestive words, he wished he could grow wings and fly there now.
