Not long after Silhu and the others arrived, the group of people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs arrived, including Qian Ding, Yu He, Gao Ling, etc., a large group of people.
Some carefully prepared gifts, and some simply wrapped a big red envelope to save the trouble.
For example, designers like Gao Ling and others brought some cute little clothes, longevity locks, small toys and other items. Qian Ding didn't know where he got a silver lock for Tao.
Zhan Jianjun also came. Because of the last loan, he now has a very good relationship with Chu Heng, so the gifts he brought were quite expensive.
It is a picture of Lang Shining’s Hundred Sons.
The Hundred Sons Picture has a special meaning in traditional Chinese culture. The word "hundred" in poetry has the meaning of big or infinite, so the Hundred Sons Picture has the ultimate intention to express the wish of blessing and congratulations.
In ancient times, whether emperors, officials, or civilians, they were willing to use it on happy occasions or even in ordinary times, thinking that the Hundred Sons Picture would bring them good luck.
Therefore, Zhan Jianjun's painting was brought to Chu Heng's heart. Not only did it have a good meaning, but the painting was also precious. Especially when he saw Yongzheng's seal on the painting, he almost lost his temper because of his laughter.
Chu Zhilexi didn't know whether she liked it or not, but her father liked it very much.
"Old Zhan, take a seat, take a seat quickly!" Chu Heng quickly pulled Zhan Jianjun into the main room, poured tea for him personally, and chatted with him for a while.
This caused Qian Ding and others who had been neglected to roll their eyes.
The team leader is still as snobbish as ever...
Chu Heng ignored these guys, and after chatting happily with Zhan Jianjun for a while, he sneakily took the painting into the study room and put it into the warehouse under cover of disguise.
After he finished receiving the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, other people began to come over one after another, including Zhang Yiyan, Yan Muche, from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the Grain Management Office. The yard was bustling for a while, and Chu Zhile was also accepting gifts.
Receiving red envelopes is a pity.
It is worth mentioning that this guy Su Chen also came over. After escaping from death, he lost a lot of weight during this period. His potbelly was gone, and there was a lot less flesh on his face. Even his hands were still a little awkward.
I can't lift heavy objects, and I can't do any delicate work.
When Chu Heng and Su Chen were chatting, every time this matter was mentioned, his wife's face would become unnatural, feeling both regretful and resentful.
It's past nine o'clock.
Old neighbors from the courtyard also came one after another.
Xu Damao came first, bringing a bunch of gifts. For this full moon wine, he started preparing things on the day he received the news. Not only did he get a silver lock, but he also bought milk powder through connections and paid a master chef to make it.
Two children's outfits.
At this time, he had just arrived at the entrance of Banchang Hutong. Xu Jingshu happily sat on a baby seat welded with steel bars hanging on the bicycle beam, while Yu Haitang sat in the back seat, holding her husband's clothes.
, with a somewhat complicated expression.
Not long after, a family of three came outside the courtyard of Chu Heng's house. Looking at several cars and rows of bicycles parked against the wall in the alley, Xu Damao got out of the car enviously, found a place to park, and locked the bicycles.
Che picked up his daughter and took Yu Haitang into the courtyard.
"Hey, aren't these brother Xu and sister-in-law? Please come in quickly, please come in quickly."
Du San was in charge of welcoming the guests today, and he hurried forward to greet them. He and Xu Damao had known each other for a long time, and they even had conflicts, but it was only a few years ago. Because of their relationship with Chu Heng, the two of them had already settled their differences.
"Lao Du, when did you come?"
"I came here early in the morning to help buy groceries."
"I originally wanted to come earlier, but my child suddenly complained of stomach pain early in the morning, so I went to the hospital first before coming."
"Hey, what did you say? Are you okay?"
"Hey, it's nothing. I just caught a cold in my stomach when I went out to play yesterday. Drink some hot water and take two pills and it will be fine."
"You have to be more careful in the future." Du San looked deeply at Xu Jingshu, who was well-behaved and pleasant, with an incomprehensible expression.
Last year, he took in a younger brother. When we were drinking together, the guy said with certainty that he once saw Chu Heng and Xu Damao's wife Yu Haitang entering a yard and staying in it for a long time before coming out.
Du San thought about it at that time, and he thought about the time when he saw the guy, the time when Xu Jingshu was born, and Xu Damao's previous infertility. He thought of a lot at once, but he didn't dare to tell anyone about it.
Including his wife and the younger brother, he also sent him to other places to prevent the news from leaking and causing unnecessary trouble to himself and him.
If this thing is true, Qi Chuheng will be silenced...
At this time, Du San looked at Xu Jingshu, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that her features were somewhat similar to Chu Heng's, so he quickly took out the candy from his pocket and handed it to the little girl who was suspected of being his mistress: "Little Jingshu looks good."
It's so refreshing, come on, uncle, here's some candy, take it quickly."
Xu Jingshu happily took the candy and shouted crisply: "Thank you, uncle."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, come in quickly. Brother Xu, sister-in-law, and Master Chu are in the backyard." Du San enthusiastically invited people to the backyard.
Chu Heng was talking to someone in the backyard at this time. Xu Jingshu saw her as soon as she came in. Her big eyes suddenly lit up and she hurriedly shouted: "Godfather!"
"Alas!" Chu Hengguang knew who it was by hearing the voice, and immediately turned his head to look over, then opened his eyes wide, and said to Xu Jingshu who was wearing a new set of clothes: "Hey, who is this?
Is this beautiful and cute little girl my favorite little Jingshu?"
"Yeah! I am my godfather's favorite little Jingshu!" Xu Jingshu nodded vigorously and was so coaxed that she couldn't see her teeth. Then she straightened her chest and asked, "This is the skirt my mother made for me, isn't it?"
Very delicious, godfather."
"Beautiful, so beautiful." Chu Heng hugged the little guy, and after saying hello to Xu Damao and his wife, he teased the child and asked casually: "How are you doing lately, Brother Damao."
"Alas." Xu Damao sighed without saying anything, showing a sad face.
Yu Haitang, who was on the side, secretly rolled her eyes at her husband who was about to start arranging the scenery. She was too lazy to look, so she said to the two of them: "You guys chat, I'll go see Ying Hong and the child."
"Go, it's in that room." Chu Heng pointed to the bedroom that had been cleaned.
"Okay." Yu Haitang nodded and asked his daughter: "Are you going, Jingshu? Go see your godmother and sister."
"No, I want to be with my godfather." Xu Jingshu hugged Chu Heng's arm tightly.
"Okay, I'll go by myself." She smiled, knowing that blood is thicker than water after all, and then went to Ni Yinghong's place alone.
After Chu Heng gave her a look, he turned back to look at the dejected Xu Damao with disgust, patiently handed over a cigarette and asked: "What's wrong with you, you're sighing?"
"It's not a good life." He took the cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said: "I smoked it all the time after I made a mistake. In the guest house, who caught and who cleaned up, what kind of dirty work, tiring work
I was asked to do all the work, but I was constantly being dragged to criticize and educate me, and to write self-criticisms and reflect on my achievements. It was really frustrating to live this life."
"Who can you blame? If it weren't for the things you did, would we be in this situation today? What's there to complain about?" Chu Heng said angrily.
"I know this, but this person is a sage and he has no faults. They can't always look at people with the same old eyes, right? I have changed my mind now." Xu Damao said with a bitter face.
Chu Heng didn't believe a word of this. He and his grandson Xu Damao had been neighbors for so many years. What kind of behavior did he not know?
This guy is one of those people who only cares about eating and not fighting. Unless he is killed, he will not be able to live in peace.
He rolled his eyelids and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
"I want to make progress, Hengzi, and I want a chance to make progress." Xu Damao looked at him hopefully: "Last time, didn't you say you wanted to find an opportunity for me to be transferred to you? When exactly?"
The last chapter was "Into the Little Dark Room". It has just been released and has been slightly modified. If you have read it, just refresh it. I only changed a few words.
