After lunch, the family sat together and chatted. Liao Yulin and Le Yin came to pay New Year greetings. Le Yin had given birth to a baby, a boy, weighing seven pounds and two ounces.
Liao Yulin was a little surprised to see Hu Fei, but he soon felt relieved. He had known about Hu Fei from the old man on the first day of the Lunar New Year in his hometown. After working in Huoshan County for more than half a year, Liao Yulin had firsthand knowledge of Hu Fei's love for Huoshan.
The influence of official circles, even after Hu Fei left Huoshan County for several months, those cadres had said it openly and silently.
This made Liao Yulin envious and jealous, and even more determined to learn from Hu Fei.
After the two chatted for a while about the work in Huoshan County, Hu Fei took the children away. He was going to his grandfather's place for dinner tonight, and in the afternoon he had to go to Mr. Lejia's place to say New Year's greetings.
Even if you can't stay to have a meal with the elderly, your feelings and etiquette must be expressed.
When Hu Fei's family drove to Mr. Le's house, the old man was chatting with a guest. The guest was an old man wearing a military coat with his military rank removed, and his eyes were unusually sharp.
"Lao Le, is this your grandson-in-law?"
The old man leaned on the sofa, his eyes flashing, "Boy, I heard that you went to the northwest to fight and kill people?"
"Old man, do you think I don't look like someone who has killed someone before?"
Hu Fei chuckled, Qian Xiaomei raised her hand and poked Hu Fei, and asked Hu'er to call people. The old man liked Hu'er and the others very much and teased them.
"Old wood, don't you believe it?"
Mr. Le laughed and said, "Back then, this kid single-handedly broke out from the terrorists' lair. Some of his methods are now classic textbooks in the army, such as strategies and tactics, attack ideas, etc."
"Xiao Fei, this is your wooden grandfather, who has fought with me before."
"Hello Grandpa Mu."
Hu Fei bowed and saluted.
"Okay, there are guests at your house, I'll leave first."
Old Man Mu stood up.
"Don't worry, I will play chess with you later. They will leave soon."
Mr. Le chuckled and said, "I just want to say a few words to Xiaofei. Xiaofei, how is Yulin's performance in Huoshan County?"
"Grandpa, Yulin's performance is not bad. Although he has no experience in grassroots work, his attitude is very correct. He does not look down on his comrades, nor does he think that as the county magistrate, he is superior to others and cannot listen to the opinions of the comrades below..."
Hu Fei reported in detail Liao Yulin's performance in Huoshan County, which was much more detailed than reporting to Qian Wenbo. Especially after Liao Yulin became the county magistrate, he did not change his ways and implement his own development ideas. This made Hu Fei
very satisfied.
Of course Mr. Le also knew that Hu Fei was going to Mr. Chen's house for dinner, so he didn't leave him to talk. He just gave Qian Xiaomei a few words and asked her to come and sit at home when she had time.
"Grandpa is old."
After the car left the compound, Qian Xiaomei sighed softly. Mr. Le was very kind to her and always took care of her mood. Now that she found that the old man had aged so much, her mood was naturally not good.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws. This is something that cannot be undone by humans."
Hu Fei also sighed, "However, Yulin has performed well at the grassroots level. The elderly can finally rest assured. When my uncle's two children grow up, the burden on Yulin's shoulders will be lighter."
"There is also Qian Haoxuan."
Qian Xiaomei nodded, "But our children can also help each other with them in the future."
"Yes, I actually forgot that Qian Xiaomei, the overbearing female CEO, is here."
Hu Fei laughed and patted the steering wheel, "Our family has been operating in the mall for so many years. Naturally, we have a lot of contacts. We can help Lejia when necessary."
"Oh, so you're going to be a spectator?"
Qian Xiaomei snorted and her pretty face sank slightly, "Let me tell you, if grandpa hadn't agreed back then, we might not have been able to get married."
"Don't worry, why would I just watch?"
Hu Fei shook his head, "It's just that if a family wants to produce talents, it still has to rely on its own efforts. To forge iron, you need to be strong."
Qian Xiaomei stopped talking. Hu Fei himself is a vivid example. The achievements he achieved in Jiangnan were all achieved by his own hard work.
The family came to Chen Haoyang's home and rested for a while. Chen Haoyang's phone rang. When the family went downstairs, they saw an ordinary business car parked downstairs. The windows were all covered with film, and the scene inside could not be seen from the outside.
Hu Fei noticed a pass on the car.
The silver business car sped along, passing through the wide and busy Ten-mile Long Street. Along the north side of the long street, there was a red wall hundreds of meters long and more than six meters high, between a row of green trees and red lanterns.
Against this background, the red wall becomes more and more historical.
Within the red wall is the core of political power of the entire country, the veritable heart center of the Republic. Through the back of the sentry solemnly guarding the door, Hu Fei seemed to see the gorgeous buildings with carved beams and painted beams, the large green belt and the large artificial lake.
, as well as the towering cornices and layers of green trees inside, or the birds flying over the branches and walls.
After careful inspection, the silver commercial vehicle slowly moved forward and stopped by the lake.
"Okay, there's no traffic in front, so everyone can walk there."
Chen Haoyang waved his hand, and the family got out of the car cheering. It didn't matter that Chen Pengyu often came in, so he just got out of the car with his second son in his arms. Hu Fei was also very nervous. He picked up his third son, Feng'er, with one hand, and held Qian Xiao tightly with the other.
Beautiful hands.
The group of people hurried forward under the leadership of Chen Haoyang, and passed two guards before entering the courtyard that was transformed from a unique palace belonging to the old man. There were two flower beds inside with wintersweet growing in them, and they could vaguely smell a hint of wintersweet.
Fragrant.
Hu Fei looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment. He never dreamed that there would be such a small courtyard inside this incomparably majestic Big Red Gate, which was like a paradise. Moreover, there must be more than one such courtyard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a tall middle-aged man who vaguely resembled Chen Haoyang was waiting at the door with a smile.
"Brother, we are late."
Chen Haoyang walked over with a smile and waved to Hu Fei and his wife, "Xiao Fei, Xiao Mei, come here to meet uncle."
After some pleasantries, Chen Jiangtao led everyone into the house.
The furnishings in the old man's home are simple and elegant. There are only some simple furniture. Even simple furniture. When placed in the room inside the big red door, the furniture becomes heavy and noble. Every corner and every corner of the room
Every object exudes nobility and grandeur.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large living room with a red carpet and a circle of sofas against the wall. On the left side of the living room is the old man's study and on the right is the dining room.
There were already many people sitting in the living room, including adults and children. Chen Haoyang introduced them to Hu Fei and his wife one by one. It turned out that these people were Chen Jiangtao's family members.
The family saw the ceremony, the children, the women and the children went outside to play, while the men were called into the study by the old man.
