Chapter 281 Someone invited him to the birthday party
"But I really want to help you." Wen Ye said.
"Help me?" Xu Erlong laughed: "If you feed me a little, you are helping me."
Wen Ye asked nervously: "Are you hungry? Can I give you something to eat?"
Xu Erlong suddenly laughed.
Wen Ye didn't understand why he was laughing suddenly.
However, seeing Xu Erlong smiling so happily, Wen Ye laughed shyly.
Xu Erlong stretched out his hand and pulled Wen Ye, and was about to make out and make out, but Zhang Jinfang and the others came back.
Zhang Jinfang went to deliver quilt covers to her neighbors today.
She is somewhat famous in this street now. Everyone knows that she has good craftsmanship and good tailoring skills. She can help people make pillowcases, quilt covers, etc. Everyone is happy to come to her if they have anything.
Unexpectedly, just after she came back, another couple came to the door.
A middle-aged couple came, looking somewhat familiar.
"Hello, Comrade Xu Erlong." The man came over and shook hands with Xu Erlong with a smile.
This posture is quite a bit like a leader coming to inspect the public sentiment.
Xu Erlong wondered, who is this?
But he kept his expression low and shook hands with him with the same smile, taking this opportunity to get a good look at the person.
The visitor was wearing a white shirt. In this day and age, he had already shown his identity and was not an ordinary commoner.
"Erlong, this is Director Zhao from our subdistrict office." Zhang Jinfang introduced Xu Erlong.
Xu Erlong smiled and said: "Hello, Director Zhao."
But I was wondering in my heart, why did Director Zhao from the subdistrict office come to see me? He doesn't usually interact with him much, right?
"It's like this. We all live in the same street. We usually don't look up to see each other. In two days, my old lady will celebrate her 70th birthday, so we invited these people from our street. I hope everyone can come over and have fun." Director Zhao was next to him.
woman smiling and adding.
"Oh." Xu Erlong responded vaguely, and he probably understood in his heart that this was another card-taking request.
If someone doesn't ask for cards from you at work, then they just legitimately celebrate birthdays for the elderly at home. You can't say there's something wrong with someone's filial piety.
Whenever there is a big event in the family, it is when these people make a clever name for themselves.
After sending these two people away, Granny Yang, who had been poking her head to see the situation just now, turned in and said to Zhang Jinfang: "You just moved here not long ago, but you don't know that Director Zhao does this and that all year round. Only in the first half of the year did he do that."
I organized a full-moon banquet for my grandson, and it will be his mother-in-law’s 70th birthday later this year.”
"Did he invite everyone in the street?" Xu Erlong asked.
"How is that possible?" Grandma Yang said: "People also wait for others to prepare meals. Most people are not invited. Those who are invited are all from families in this street who are in good condition."
So, I am being targeted as a fat sheep?
Xu Erlong is not averse to giving gifts, and he also feels that it is normal to invite people to dinner frequently to maintain interpersonal relationships.
But now it's obvious that I don't have much interpersonal contact with Director Zhao of this subdistrict office.
You can't just be a fat sheep. Anyone can come up and get a handful of wool, right?
However, Xu Erlong still decided to attend his birthday banquet. He had already come to invite him personally, so it would be too shameful not to go.

Reporter Yuan contacted colleagues and friends he knew and made an appointment on this day to conduct interviews with 18 college students who were admitted to Yunji High School to create publicity.
Except Wen Ye, the other seventeen students were surprised and happy when they heard the news.
It was a surprise for them to be admitted to university. They didn't expect that so many reporters would come to interview them.
Although the interview was in the form of a package interview and was conducted in the name of eighteen college students who passed the exams from Yun Middle School, it was finally a chance to be published in the news, which can be regarded as a matter of honor for the ancestors.
Many people have already decided that when they see their names in newspapers, they will cut out the page and frame it as a souvenir.
After all, being in the newspaper is a great honor.
But when I heard it again, I was even more delighted to find that the summary of experience I had written a while ago had been compiled into a volume by Xu Erlong. There was a long list of author names on it, including his own, which made me even more happy.
Ordinary people can publish an article about dried tofu in a local newspaper, which is enough to brag about, and they will be called a great writer.
But they can actually publish a book directly.
Moreover, when the time comes, there will also be a royalties.
Zhu Feifei almost cried when he heard the news.
If you can really get a share of the royalties, that would be great.
Her family was in such a difficult situation, and her mother had to spend money for medical treatment. The joy of going to college could not offset the real troubles.
Even though the university provides a certain amount of living allowance, they didn't say they would help your family with poverty or treat your parents' illnesses and pay off their debts.
She had even written an IOU with those relatives, promising that after going to college, she would save 20 yuan from her living allowance every month to slowly pay off the debt.
This is the only thing she can do at the moment.
But now, she can actually get royalties, which solves her urgent need.
In her excitement, she looked at Principal Shi and cried again, crying for this sudden windfall.
Who would have thought that some experiences and experiences in college entrance exams that I just wanted to write to Xu Erlong could actually be turned into royalties?
"Stop crying, stop crying." Principal Shi advised her: "If others didn't know about it, they would think I was forcing you to come."
Zhu Feifei wiped away her tears in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Principal Shi, I was just too excited for a moment. I promise not to cry, so as not to discredit everyone."
Principal Shi felt that fortunately, he was persuaded by Xu Erlong and agreed to do such a thing.
This allows everyone to exchange for a royalties, and everyone is famous and profitable, which is a happy thing for everyone.
Reporter Yuan was busy arranging interviews.
Then, he discovered that Xu Erlong didn't come.
Why hasn't he come to such an important occasion?
"Principal Shi, where did Erlong go?" Reporter Yuan asked Principal Shi.
"I don't know either. Didn't we make an appointment?" Principal Shi turned his head and looked outside the venue.
Reporter Yuan paced his feet, raising his hand from time to time to look at the watch on his wrist in a hurry.
He wasn't showing off his watch, he was just looking at the time.
Don't think that everyone is free and just come here to hang out. Everyone has other things to do. This is just for the sake of money.
"I'll go find him." Principal Shi said.
"I'll go too," said reporter Yuan.
This matter was led by Xu Erlong. If he didn't come, how could this scene start?
As soon as Reporter Yuan left, Principal Shi followed. Of course, those students also noticed something was wrong.
"Why didn't Erlong come?"
"Did something happen to him?"
"It's such a big deal, there's no way he won't come. Come on, let's go take a look."
