Although his heart was full of doubts, Xiao Xingshi had already stepped forward and held Lu Zaixing's hand: "Secretary Lu, welcome!" Then he smiled at Cai Jingbo and said: "Hello Mrs. Lu, I haven't seen you for a while.
Yes." Cai Jingbo nodded and smiled: "Hello, political commissar Xiao."
Although they didn't know the real purpose of Lu Zaixing's arrival, Xiao Xinghai and Xiao Xingyun still came forward to shake hands and express their welcome.
Lu Zaixing had already seen the doubts in their eyes and asked, "Are Jingyu and Xiao Zheng back? Jingyu called me early in the morning and asked me to come over for New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. I think it's just Jingbo and I,
It's just a good time to have dinner here and save the trouble of having a nanny at home!"
After Lu Zaixing said this, everyone finally understood. It turned out that it was Xiao Jingyu who asked Lu Zaixing and his wife to come. Xiao Xingshi thought to himself, Xiao Jingyu really didn't know anything about such an important matter in advance! However, Xiao Xingshi didn't show it on his face either.
Displeased, he said politely: "Jingyu and the others haven't arrived yet. But I believe they will come soon. Come, let's go inside and drink tea first."
"Okay." Lu Zaixing took a bag from the driver and handed it to Xiao Xingshi, "This is some Dafo Longjing tea. I can't bear to drink it. I know you have a tea room in the big attic of the military area.
I often taste tea there, so I gave it to you." Xiao Xingshi smiled and said, "Thank you very much. The tea given by Secretary Lu must be good." Lu Zaixing said, "Don't have too high expectations, I am
I don’t know much about tea. If someone gives it to me, I will hide it. It can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.” Xiao Xingshi said, “I actually don’t know how to pretend to understand. What I drink is not tea, but your intention. That’s enough.
"
"That's a good thing." Lu Zaixing smiled, glanced at Xiao Xingshi, and asked: "By the way, did Jingyu tell you that we would come?" Xiao Xingshi said vaguely: "I did." If not.
, Isn’t Xiao Xingshi very shameless? Lu Zaixing asked again: “Really?” Xiao Xingshi put his hand on Lu Zaixing’s vest and said: “I did. Even if I didn’t say it, when you come, can’t we eat together?
Is it a New Year’s Eve dinner?”
Lu Zaixing knew immediately that Xiao Jingyu must have not told her father, but he still said: "That's true." The few of them went inside to drink tea and chat casually.
After a while, other people in the Xiao family came back one after another. Xiao Jingyu’s brother Xiao Zhanyu came in with his director’s wife Zhao Fei. The driver moved a lot of things in big and small bags, which showed that there was one for everyone. Xiao Zhanyu naturally
Knowing that Lu Zaixing was the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, he and his wife Zhao Fei discussed it, took out two items from a large pile of things, brought them over, placed them in front of Cai Jingbo, and said: "Secretary Lu, Mrs. Lu, I will follow
Please report, these two are Swedish specialties, one is Gusta coffee cup and the other is chocolate. My wife Zhao Fei is now the director of the Ministry of National Defense. Some time ago, she accompanied the leaders of the Ministry of National Defense on a national defense exchange and was given some as a gift.
, they are all good things, I hope you like them.”
Cai Jingbo brought it up, looked at it, and said, "I like it very much. Thank you." Cai Jingbo also went to Sweden and received similar gifts. These gifts were of average value, but those who took them back from Sweden and gave them away were...
This can show that they have gone abroad and are traveling with high-level officials of the country. This is not simple and can reflect the extraordinary identity of the gift giver.
Xiao Xingshi knew Zhao Fei's character and preferred to show her superiority in front of others, which was related to her family environment. However, Zhao Fei was the eldest son's daughter-in-law, and her natal family also had a strong background in Huajing, so Xiao Xingshi
Xingshi couldn't interrupt her, so he could only smile at Lu Zaixing.
At this time, Xiao Xingyun's son Zhang Haiming, Xiao Xinghai's second wife Tang Jiaqi and others also came, bringing either high-end luxury tobacco and alcohol, or genuine bird's nests, cordyceps and other health products. Zhang Haiming is a well-rounded person, and he knows
Lu Zaixing was the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He held great power and inevitably said a lot of flattery. He thought that Lu Zaixing was invited by his uncle Xiao Xingshi, otherwise others might not be able to invite him, so he said: "Uncle
, you invite Secretary Lu over today to make our New Year’s Eve dinner twice as meaningful!”
Xiao Xingshi said: "To be precise, Secretary Lu was invited by Jingyu." Xiao Xingshi also wanted to take the credit for inviting Lu Zaixing, but he was worried that Lu Zaixing would explain that he was invited by Xiao Jingyu.
Xingshi was even more embarrassed, so he simply said it first. As soon as he said this, Zhang Haiming, Tang Jiaqi and others were startled. They really didn't expect that Xiao Jingyu, who had not returned to the family for a long time, could actually invite Lu Zaixing!
Doesn't this mean that Xiao Jingyu's relationship level has reached the level of Lu Zaixing? In comparison, Zhang Haiming and others want to invite Lu...
Latest chapter!
If you want to invite Lu Zaixing to a meal, I'm afraid you need someone to come forward to invite you! Zhang Haiming felt a little sour in his heart. Thinking that Xiao Jingyu hadn't come yet, Zhang Haiming said: "Since Jingyu invited Secretary Lu, why hasn't he arrived yet?!
Doesn’t this make the leader wait?”
Unexpectedly, Lu Zaixing said: "We came early, we were idle at home, and we haven't talked to Political Commissar Xiao for a long time, so we came early to drink tea and chat." Xiao Xingshi said: "Secretary Lu said
Yes, we haven’t talked for a long time. Let’s have some tea now and have a few more cups later!”
Xiao Xinghai's second wife Tang Jiaqi said: "I guess, when Jingyu came back this time, he must have brought a cart full of gifts home. He must have been busy loading things this morning, that's why it took so long. I see,
Today Zhanyu and his wife brought so many imported high-end gifts, and Haiming brought many domestically produced cigarettes, wines and health care products. I wonder what Jingyu will bring back? It’s really exciting!"
Xiao Xingshi looked at her and said: "It doesn't matter what she brings. This time, Jingyu came back with my mother. Jingyu's husband Xiao Zheng's grandfather, Mr. Xiao Yi, and Xiao Zheng's parents also came together.
Just make it lively." But Tang Jiaqi said: "With so many people coming together, Jingyu will definitely not be casual. In addition, the old head of the Xiao family and Xiao Zheng's parents are also here, so they must be even more extraordinary!"
Xiao Zhanyu's wife Zhao Fei felt a little unhappy when she heard what Tang Jiaqi said. She said in her husband Xiao Zhanyu's ear: "What if Xiao Jingyu took a lot of valuable things and outshone us?" Xiao Zhanyu put his hand on Zhao Fei's arm.
He patted the items and said, "It's nothing. The things you sent are all brought from abroad, and their meanings are very different! It's not how much the things are, but how valuable they are!"
Hearing what Xiao Zhanyu said, Zhao Fei felt relieved and raised her face proudly like a peacock.
Lu Zaixing and Cai Jingbo drank tea, watching everything the people in the family said, acted, and expressed. This family is a part of all living beings, but Lu Zaixing just smiled, and Cai Jingbo only listened but did not speak.
When she saw someone looking at her, she nodded and smiled.
At this time, the waiter at home came in again and reported: "The old lady and others are back." Xiao Xingshi stood up and said to Lu Zaixing and Cai Jingbo: "Secretary Lu, Mrs. Lu, please sit down for a moment and I will pick them up.
Just come in."
If only Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng came back, Xiao Xingshi and others would naturally not go out to greet them, but this time, the old family leader Ye Chuanying came back together, so everyone had to come out.
I saw three cars parked on the main road of the Xiao family compound. Ye Chuanying and Xiao Yi had got off the car together. Xiao Xingshi met his mother Ye Chuanying yesterday, but the others had not seen Ye Chuanying for several months.
She is an old lady. Not only does Ye Chuanying not look older at all, but she is even more energetic and several years younger than before in the family! Looking at the old man Xiao Yi again, he also gives people the impression that he is getting younger as he gets older.
It feels like these two old people are going to grow in reverse?
What surprised the Xiao family even more was that the two got off the car from both sides, and after walking around the front of the car, they actually held hands and walked hand in hand. Is it possible that these two old people are really about to get better? Everyone still remembers,
Xiao Yi came to the Xiao family once to save Xiao Zheng, and he expressed his feelings towards Ye Chuanying at the beginning. Unexpectedly, the two of them would really get together so soon? This was somewhat unacceptable to the Xiao family.
But with so many people present today and it being the festive New Year's Eve, no one dared to come out and tell Ye Chuanying and Mr. Xiao to separate! Xiao Xingshi had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
Looking behind, there are Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei, then Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu holding baby Xiao Yuan, and behind them are the waiters.
Xiao Xingshi stepped forward and said: "Mom, you are back! Everyone in the family is waiting for you." Ye Chuanying nodded to him and said, "You are back for the New Year!" Xiao Xingshi added: "Let's welcome Mr. Xiao, welcome.
Xiao Zheng and his parents also came to our house to celebrate the New Year. Of course, Jingyu and his son Xiao Yuan are also welcome to come back!" Xiao Xingshi took the lead in applauding, and others followed suit.
Xiao Jingyu held the child in her hands and looked around at everything within the courtyard wall, feeling very emotional. Since she ran away from the family a few years ago, she has never wanted to come back. Although she has come back a few times in the meantime
, for her grandma. But since the last time the family wanted to deal with Xiao Zheng, she didn't want to come back even half a step. Because of this, on the day of their wedding, she and Xiao Zheng chose to stay at Lu Zaixing and Cai Jingbo's house. She put Lu Zaixing and
Cai Jingbo regards her as her parents and has no plans to return to the family one day.
But Xiao Zheng has always hoped that she can return to the family in glory. After all, she has a blood relationship with the family. This relationship is really inextricably linked. It is constantly cut and messed up. If the previous interest relationship can be
After being surpassed, Xiao Jingyu can return to the family. Unexpectedly, she really came back today.
She was accompanied by Ye Chuanying, by the head of the Xiao family, by Xiao Zheng's parents, and by Xiao Zheng himself. She came back with her son in a dignified manner!
