Gao Guanghao took the initiative to pass the cigarette, but the four of them ignored him and simply said hello.
Du Qingchen also stepped forward to hand over the cigarette. The four of them glanced at him and became somewhat interested. When they asked, they found out that Du Qingchen was a company security guard. They refused to look at him seriously.
Gao Xiaohui on the other side was glum and lively at home, but when she got here, she had no words at all.
Li Xiuqin said to Zhai Meng: "You come back only once a year and you don't go to the kitchen to help. Your two sisters-in-law are too busy. What are you doing here?"
Zhai Meng frowned slightly, but still agreed and went to the kitchen to help.
Gao Xiaotong took out the gifts he had prepared and gave them to everyone, and everyone looked a little calmer.
In short, Gao Guanghao's family is extremely unpopular here.
To be honest, this is a very rare phenomenon and goes against the norm.
Du Qingchen and Gao Guanghao found an opportunity to smoke outside.
"I said, you have to be mentally prepared. I didn't lie to you. Celebrating the New Year here is not an easy task. It will test your endurance very much."
Gao Guanghao laughed self-deprecatingly.
Du Qingchen was puzzled: "Logically speaking, you should be very popular in your hometown. You are also the city leader after all."
"This place is not under my control, and I don't give them money or arrange jobs for them, so they are not welcome."
Gao Guanghao didn't hide it, he went straight to the core with one sentence.
Du Qingchen was stunned and said with a smile: "Uncle, it's really rare."
"It's not as great and noble as you think. In fact, I have no friendship with the mayor of this city. We are even competitors. He will not take care of my family."
"Then when will we go back?"
"Let's go early tomorrow morning. This is a rule. In fact, my father is an honest man and knows everything in his heart. I am greatly influenced by him. He was a soldier before and has a sense of justice in his bones. But he is old and no one listens to him.
." Gao Guanghao sighed: "I come back every year just to see his old man. I have suffered all my life and have not enjoyed any blessings. Thinking that my two brothers have been taking care of him, I have not fulfilled my filial piety, so they have to
No matter how you treat me, I never say anything, I just tolerate it and let it go."
During lunch, two tables were full. Gao Guanghao's two younger sisters also rushed back. They were playing mahjong at a neighbor's house. They probably lost money. When they came back, their noses were not noses, and their eyes were not eyes. They talked.
He also found fault with his brother Gao Guanghao.
They even whispered that Gao Guanghao's family was too stingy, so they gave him two hundred yuan in red envelopes.
In fact, Gao Guanghao's family is not considered poor in the village. For example, his two brothers and two sisters have both bought cars.
But all this has nothing to do with Gao Guanghao. A few years ago, he always wanted to ask Gao Guanghao to solve his children's problems, but Gao Guanghao never agreed, and he gradually developed resentment.
At the banquet table, Du Qingchen met two of Gao Xiaotong's cousins. They were all idle people. Gao Xiaotong's cousins were also a small group, which completely isolated the two sisters.
All of this made Du Qingchen feel incredible.
He knew very well the character of Gao Xiaotong and his wife and the status of Gao Guanghao and his wife. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to endure it.
However, they all endured it and seemed to be used to it, but it could also be seen that they were not very happy.
After dinner, the family played cards. Gao Chengyuan called his son into the room and chatted for a while.
Du Qingchen had nothing to do, so he went for a walk outside the village with sisters Gao Xiaotong.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, when they came back, they found that the whole family was discussing something happily and the mahjong was put away. As soon as they saw them coming back, Li Xiuqin quickly shouted: "You are back just in time, Xiaotong, Xiaohui,
Come and help tidy up the room and clean it up, there will be distinguished guests coming soon."
Seeing her smiling so happily, Gao Xiaohui asked curiously: "Grandma, what kind of distinguished guest are you?"
"Fangfang's boyfriend is coming. He is coming from the provincial capital. I heard that his family is an official in the province. What kind of director is he? Anyway, your father wants to please a good official when he sees him. The conditions in our rural area are not good.
Okay, at least it needs to be cleaned up, and, Xiaotong, you have seen the world, hurry up and help your cousin put on makeup."
Li Xiuqin's mouth was almost crooked with laughter.
In fact, the whole family is in similar condition, and they are all preparing to welcome their new son-in-law, especially Mr. and Mrs. Gao Guangming, who are extremely proud.
Du Qingchen felt that this family was really weird. Instead of serving the great god Gao Guanghao, they pinned their hopes on a person who was nothing.
Now we are in love, as if we are getting married.
And although Gao Fangfang's appearance is not bad, it is hard to say how beautiful she is. Why should people like her from a rural area?
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Du Qingchen, and he won't ask.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the distinguished guest finally arrived. A young man drove a big Mercedes into the yard. Also sitting in the car was Gao Fangfang. He had received a call earlier and ran to the entrance of the village to pick him up.
The whole family came to the yard and enthusiastically went to pick her up. However, they didn't bring any gifts. When they got out of the car, they frowned and looked at the group of people with a look of disgust on their faces.
"Dad, Mom, this is Qiangzi, Wen Qiang, Qiangzi, this is my dad, my mom, this is..."
"Oh, I know, come in, it's too cold here." Wen Qiang walked into the house without waiting for Gao Fangfang to finish his introduction.
A group of people looked at each other, a little embarrassed.
Du Qingchen wanted to laugh behind the crowd, but his warm face touched his cold butt.
Gao Xiaotong whispered beside him: "This person is not very good. He is not a good person at first glance."
"Whatever, it has nothing to do with us."
"That's right."
"Hey, what are you talking about here? Why don't you hurry up and enter the house to entertain the guests?" Gao Guangming scolded dissatisfiedly.
After entering the room, Wen Qiang sat high on the table, with a group of people surrounding him like stars and stars. Wen Qiang seemed to enjoy this treatment, and even shook out a cigarette to disperse the smoke.
If he met someone he was interested in, he would just ask and Gao Fangfang would introduce him.
Suddenly, Wen Qiang's eyes lit up and he looked at Gao Xiaotong. With a trace of greed in his eyes, he asked proactively: "Who is this?"
"My cousin, Gao Xiaotong, just came back from abroad."
Gao Fangfang glared at Gao Xiaotong with some jealousy. She couldn't compare in appearance and temperament, so naturally she felt dissatisfied. She knew very well what kind of person Wen Qiang was, so she was a little defensive and vigilant.
"Oh, it turns out she's my cousin. Come on, shake hands and get to know me. I'm Wen Qiang, Fangfang's boyfriend, and my dad is Wen Jianjun, the director of the Provincial Department of Finance."
Wen Qiang extended his hand and introduced himself.
Du Qingchen took the lead, shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Wen. I have admired him for a long time."
"Who are you?"
Wen Qiang stopped with some displeasure.
"He is my cousin's boyfriend. His surname is Du. I don't know his name. He is the company's security guard."
