"Brother, please stop trying to impress me. Who did you just ask me to pay New Year greetings to?"
A hurried voice came from the microphone. Obviously, Wu Kai was shocked by the news. He wished the Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister a happy New Year. He was the big boss in charge of the city's division-level cadres. How could his family's threshold be so high?
Very good.
"Brother, you heard me right, it's Li Guojun, director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee."
Hu Fei smiled, "He told me personally that he wants to see you during the Chinese New Year. Take advantage of this opportunity and don't miss it. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"No, no, only a fool would miss this opportunity."
Wu Kai on the other side of the phone stuttered a little, "Afei, brother, I really met a noble person when I met you. How can you ask brother to thank you?"
"Brother, we brothers shouldn't be so polite. Let my sister-in-law cook some good dishes and let's have a drink. By the way, when you go to pay New Year's greetings to the minister, you must choose your gifts carefully."
Hu Fei earnestly warned, "The minister is an ambitious person, so be sure not to arouse his resentment."
"Okay, okay, brother, I'll remember it. When my brother and I go back to Lengjiang, I'll go to Qixi to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle and aunt on the third day of the Lunar New Year. That's it. I'm eating dumplings. You haven't recovered from your cold yet, so go to bed early."
"Brother, then hurry up and eat the dumplings."
Hu Fei hung up the phone.
"Son, when did you have a big brother?"
Yu Chunlan was shocked. Moreover, her son's eldest brother seemed to be a deputy county magistrate. The deputy secretary of the county party committee just called to invite his son to dinner. The deputy county magistrate over there called him aunt. When did his son become so capable?
"Mom, that was one of my soldiers who returned from the army. We have a very good relationship. He is only about ten years older than me."
Hu Fei threw the phone away, picked up the apple and bit into it, "By the way, Mom, let's clean up another house and come out. My girlfriend may come over to play during the Spring Festival."
"Ah, your girlfriend is coming to the house. What is her name, where is her home, what is her job, and how is the situation at home?"
Yu Chunlan immediately shifted her attention. This was a big deal. She couldn't care less about the county party committee secretary and county magistrate. She had to find out the situation of her future daughter-in-law.
"Yes, yes, Xiaofei, tell me about the situation. Your mother and I don't know anything yet."
Hu Laifu also became excited.
"Mom, her name is Qian Xiaomei. She is a program host at Baisha City TV station. Her family situation is not bad. Her father is the leader of Baisha City. Their family used to live in the capital."
Hu Fei briefly talked about Qian Xiaomei's situation and concealed the fact that her father was Qian Wenbo, secretary of the Baisha City Discipline Inspection Commission, for fear of frightening the two elderly people. The wealthy and prominent families in the capital were even more afraid to mention Le Meiya when she appeared.
"Son, do you think Qian Xiaomei's father is the leader of the municipal party committee?"
Yu Chunlan was stunned, "Then why do people like you?"
"Are you right? Our Xiaofei is very bad?"
Hu Laifu was a little unhappy, "Didn't you hear just now that the county party secretary invited Xiao Fei to dinner? The deputy county magistrate is still his eldest brother. Besides, Xiao Fei is at the deputy section level at such a young age. He might become the county magistrate or county party secretary in the future.
Isn’t he still worthy of her?”
"Besides, it's just a matter of fancy for young people to fall in love. What do you, an old woman, know?"
"Hu Laifu, I was a young and beautiful woman when I married you. Now you think I'm old and ugly, and you want to have a second life, right?"
Yu Chunlan glared at Hu Laifu.
"Mom, you misunderstood my father. You are not old at all, okay."
Hu Fei was a little dumbfounded. How could he still quarrel over a sentence at such an old age, "Okay, I'm going to take a shower."
"Laifu, do you think my son will be deceived by that person?"
Looking at Hu Fei's back, Yu Chunlan whispered, "The conditions are so good, what kind of person can I find?"
"You don't have to worry about your son."
Hu Laifu shook his head, "Xiao Fei is older now. Who can deceive him if he is so smart? Besides, the girl will come to the house again. You will know when the time comes."
Yu Chunlan nodded, "I don't know what Qian Xiaomei is like. I think Qianxi is better."
"Qianxi is good, but Xiaofei must also like her."
Hu Laifu picked up the remote control and said, "Okay, you don't need to worry about these things. You'd better clean up another room and come out quickly, so as not to be too busy later."
Although Hu Fei went to bed early last night, he felt a little groggy when he woke up in the morning. He immediately realized that the cold was getting worse. Hu Fei rarely got sick in these years, but he didn't expect that this small cold would last for several days.
Not yet.
The room was very quiet. Hu Fei washed up and came out. There was a note left on the dining room table, telling him that the steamed dumplings were in the pot, that there was hot porridge in the rice cooker, that there was cold medicine on the TV cabinet, etc.
Hu Fei practiced boxing and sweated profusely. He drank two bowls of hot porridge and sweated profusely. He immediately felt much more relaxed.
After washing the dishes, Hu Fei called the store and said that he was going out to have lunch with friends today so there was no need to prepare his lunch. Then he took cold medicine, lay down on the sofa, and read a book.
As he watched, Hu Fei felt his eyelids trembling, so he simply went back to the room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep again.
I don't know how much time passed, but Hu Fei was woken up by the rapid ringing of his cell phone. He drowsily picked up his cell phone and answered the call, "Hey, who's there?"
"Son, you haven't recovered from your cold yet, why are you so weak when talking?"
"Mom, I'm much better and I'm sleeping."
Hu Fei held the phone and turned over, sweating all over. After taking the cold medicine, he was indeed much better, at least he was no longer dizzy.
"Son, come to the shop quickly. The secretary of Guanyin Town is here and wants to ask your help for something."
"Okay, Mom, I'll be there right away."
Hu Fei hung up the phone, picked up the phone and took a look at it before he was startled. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon and he immediately got up from the bed.
When he drove to the shop, Hu Fei saw Zheng Yongjun standing at the door of the shop helping to lift bundles of steel bars into the car.
"Secretary Zheng, I'm sorry, I got up late."
Hu Fei closed the car door and strode over.
"It's okay, don't you have a cold? Why don't you take a rest?"
Zheng Yongjun clapped his hands and walked towards Hu Fei.
"Mom, so are you. How can you let Secretary Zheng do the work?"
Hu Fei nodded to Zheng Yongjun, took out a cigarette and handed it over.
"Captain Hu is so polite. It's just a simple task. I'm idle anyway."
Zheng Yongjun took the cigarette, lit it and took a puff, "Captain Hu, you haven't eaten yet. Let's go have something to eat together and introduce you to a friend. How about it? Will Captain Hu give me this face?"
