Chapter 210: The Family Banquet at the Cousin's House
"Ayang, please stop teasing your aunt. My aunt has only met your mother not long ago. She is not what my aunt can compare to now. Her skin looks like she is 30 years old. How old is she like your aunt?"
Liu Zhen pretended to be sad.
In fact, it's not as serious as she said. Liu Zhen looks like a middle-aged woman in her 40s. Compared with the usual old women in their 50s, she doesn't know how much better. But compared with Lin Xiuhan, she still looks like a middle-aged woman in her 40s.
There's no way to compare.
I have no choice but to look at the two of them.
Eat regularly! Ever since Xu Yang had the secret realm, Lin Xiuhan's life has changed dramatically. Although she didn't deliberately take care of herself, she eats and drinks things that ordinary people can't imagine.[
Although Liu Zhen lives a good life, she does not have Xu Yang's unique nourishment for her body. Compare the natural method with Lin Xiuhan.
Xu Yang smiled and said nothing more, and several people walked into the house together. Lin Fan's residence was a house allocated exclusively to the leaders of the municipal party committee. The decoration inside was very simple, and there were not even valuable calligraphy, paintings, or furnishings.
"Do you think your uncle is very shabby? You can't help it. Your grandpa has been very strict since he was a child. Even if he passes away now, I don't dare to use power for personal gain. It's a big thank you to your aunt. Fortunately, now that the children have grown up, I let him
It will be easy for your aunt for a few years."
Lin Fan smiled when he saw Xu Yang taking care of a lot of furnishings in the room.
"Uncle, there are not many officials as honest as you. If officials were like you, I wouldn't be so passive!"
Xu Yang sighed.
Xu Yang felt sulky when he thought about the Li and Hu families actually going to great lengths to covet their own things.
"Mother Liu! Make these loaches and eels and serve them to Lao Lin!"
Liu Zhen shouted to a servant in the kitchen.
"Auntie, I'll kill them. These are not ordinary loaches and eels. They can hurt people!"
Xu Yang shouted quickly.
"Can loaches hurt people?"
At this time, not only Liu Zhen was puzzled, but also the drivers Xiao Sun and Lin Fan were puzzled.
"Uncle, you already know about Huanhu. To be precise, he was implicated by me. Someone threatened me with him because he wanted my things, and these loaches and eels are part of them."
Xu Yang said sternly.
"Are you kidding me? Why are those people going to such great lengths just for this little food?"
Lin Fan put away the smile on his face and asked seriously.
"Well! This kind of loach is called dragon loach, and the eel is called snake eel. Breeding is extremely demanding. But its medicinal effect is much better than ginseng and deer antlers! It is the best nourishing food. Otherwise, how could anyone covet these things?
Woolen cloth."
Xu Yang smiled bitterly.[
"The two fish are not simple either?"
Liu Zhen asked.
"If the dragon loach and snake eel are better than ordinary ginseng, then the two colorful dragon koi are comparable to ten-thousand-year-old ginseng! Fortunately, I raised them myself, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to buy this stuff!"
Xu Yangyun said calmly.
But those words made everyone in the room take a breath of air.
Thousand-year ginseng is something I have never heard of. I have only seen it in mythical TV series. Thousand-year ginseng will run away, and the ten-thousand-year-old will become an immortal!
"Ayan, I can't take such a precious thing!"
Liu Zhen hesitated now. She originally thought it was just an ordinary aquatic product, but she didn't know it was so precious.
"Auntie, you don't think of me as your nephew anymore. We're just a family. We just have some food, and you're still being polite to me."
Xu Yang smiled.
"Take it! Ayang is not an outsider. Among all the brothers and sisters, Xiuhan and I have the best relationship. We are no different from real brothers and sisters. What does it matter if you eat something from your own nephew! It's just what Ayang said about this fish.
It’s so mysterious, I have to try it first! I made it together today!”
Lin Fan waved his hand and ordered unceremoniously.
Xu Yang then rushed to kill the dragon eels and snake eels.
When they saw the little dragon loach open its mouth and bite Xu Yang with lightning speed, the others were frightened and broke into a cold sweat. Only then did they realize that this thing was not simple.
Lin Fan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw Xu Yang pinching the dragon loach with several fingers. No matter how much it swayed, it couldn't escape Xu Yang's grasp. Lin Fan couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He was a soldier, and with several years of official training, he naturally
It can be seen that Xu Yang is not simple these days. This nephew is not as simple as he seems on the surface!
When the food was served, Xu Yang's cousin and cousin also came, and they even brought the whole family to share the meal. Perhaps because everyone was unfamiliar with each other, their attitude toward Xu Yang was not as cordial as that of Lin Fan and Liu Zhen.
Just a polite hello.
My cousin works in the taxation bureau, but my cousin has gone into business and opened a few KTVs and liquor stores. The business is pretty good. Because of Lin Fan, although my son runs entertainment venues, there are no such things.
Improper transactions.
When the meal started, it seemed that the food on the table today was a little different from usual. A group of people sat in a circle and ate happily. When the colorful dragon koi came to the table, just the fragrance and colorful glow that filled the room made me happy.
People's faces were full of intoxication.
Naturally, the servants of Lin Fan's family would not eat a dragon fish for two like the hotel chef, but the simple steaming made everyone almost swallow it with their tongues.
"Ayan, did you raise these yourself? Then bring some more next time! Especially this fish. I have a few friends coming over in a while, so I'll give them a try!"
Perhaps because of this meal, cousin Lin Weiye seemed more casual, but his request made Xu Yang frown slightly.
This really makes me think that I am being taken advantage of. Not to mention the colorful dragon koi, the dragon loach and the snake eel alone are not something ordinary people can see. But my cousin just did me a favor, and refusing would be like burning a bridge.
.[
"Okay! Someone will bring it to you in a few days!"
Xu Yang sighed slightly in his heart and just treated his cousin as a favor. But he no longer planned to have too much contact with this family.
People can be greedy, but being greedy is a bit excessive, and it is the kind of situation where one is repaying a favor. Lin Weiye is obviously such a person.
"You think these things are commercial goods! It's not easy for Ayang, but you still want to use his things to entertain your friends! I don't care how you socialize with those people, but don't make plans for Ayang!"
As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, Lin Fan's face darkened over there, obviously dissatisfied with his son's actions.
"Cousin, it's okay. I still have a few colorful dragon koi. I wanted to leave them to some elders in the family to nourish their bodies. Since they are useful to my cousin, I will use them for emergencies first. Although it is not easy to breed dragon koi and snake eels, they are also easy to breed.
There’s no big problem. I’ll send some over when the time comes!”
Xu Yang smiled slightly.
Originally, Lin Weiye was ready to give up his thoughts after being scolded by his father, but when Xu Yang opened his mouth, he felt a glimmer of hope again, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Ayan, these things are too precious. We just accepted them because you are my nephew. It is not too much for my uncle to eat some of my nephew's things, but it is too much for your cousin to give away these extremely precious things of yours!
So I won’t allow him to do this!”
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Perhaps it was because of his father's bad face that no one in the Lin family dared to speak, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit dull. Xu Yang just felt on pins and needles, completely losing the ease he had felt not long ago.
After dinner, several people were chatting in the living room. Xu Yang was thinking about how to leave, but he received a phone call that surprised him.
"Hey, General Ma, you're such a busy man, why did you have time to call me?"
Xu Yang joked.
The caller was Lieutenant General Malanwu of the Border Military Region. Xu Yang was a little curious as to why he would call a businessman of his. Although he had some cooperative relations with the Border Military Region, after all, Skynet Company had a branch in the border area. Why?
The head of a military region called him personally?
"Xiao Xu, actually I have something important to discuss with you. You see, our two families have a military-civilian partnership. In order to strengthen the relationship, shouldn't you send a few of your men to our military region to be close combat instructors?"
Ma Lanwu said a little embarrassed.
"Send someone to be an instructor for your soldiers? General Ma, did I hear that right?"
Xu Yang said in surprise.
"You heard me right, that's what I mean. Let me tell you straight, how many bodyguards are sent to that girl Yaqi by your company? Their skills are so amazing to me, even a fighting instructor of a special forces brigade
It’s more than enough. So I wonder if you can give it to our military region?”
Malanwu said sarcastically.
"It turns out it's just a few of them. No problem. But we have to wait until I send a few more people over. The border area is quite special. I have to think about the personal safety of my employees."
Xu Yang heard Ma Lanwu's request and readily agreed. They were just a few puppet warriors, and he had plenty of them in his secret realm. But it was more cost-effective to strengthen contact with Malanwu.
And he also preferred the straightforwardness of soldiers, so he didn't want to play tricks with Ma Lanwu. The two talked for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
"Ayan, the person you are talking to on the phone is from the army? How do you know the soldiers?"
Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Cousin, General Ma is Lieutenant General Malanwu of the Border Military Region. Our Tianwang Company has a cooperative relationship with the Border Military Region. They want to borrow a few people from me. I have already agreed. I will leave now and have to make arrangements.
Just some manpower."
Xu Yang didn't introduce too much, just introduced it in an understatement. Then he took the opportunity to ask to leave.
His seemingly calm words surprised Lin Fan and his family. None of them expected that Xu Yang had such a relationship with the military. Even Lin Fengqin, who didn't pay much attention to Xu Yang after entering the door, was also confused.
He cast his eyes frequently on this cousin.
Seeing that Xu Yang had something to leave, Lin Fan and Liu Zhen no longer forced him to stay, but only asked him and his family to come here often.
After leaving the Lin family, Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was still not good at sociability and felt uncomfortable with people with whom he had some family ties.
Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and Ma Lanwu and Chen Qingguo, who were in the Border Military Region, also breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Xu Yang would not be willing to give up those bodyguards to them.
You must know that they saw with their own eyes that these bodyguards easily knocked down a group of military masters with their bare hands. Their skills were much better than those of the elite Langya Special Forces Brigade of the Border Military Region.
"Solved! With the help of high-energy vegetables and the training of experts, our military region will definitely take first place in the military competition at the end of the year. That old boy Jiang Jintai will be so angry!"
Ma Lanwu hung up the phone, waved to Chen Qingguo on the side and smiled. 9
