Watermelon is refreshing and delicious. And the weather is indeed getting hotter. Standing in front of the window and looking at the street, you can feel that midsummer is approaching. Young girls can't wait to put on beautiful skirts and hot pants.
, revealing her white thighs, blooming with youth to the fullest.
Xue Chen also had some leisure time, and a few things happened, but they were all good things. First of all, Geng Qiufeng, the dean of the department at the university, talked to him and wanted to give him an honorary doctorate in the school.
degree, he was shocked and hurriedly refused.
Geng Qiufeng repeatedly said that there is absolutely no problem. A donation of 10 million plus an annual scholarship of 1 million is of great significance to the school. It will directly surpass Yang'an Normal University and Sunan Institute of Technology at the same level in Yunzhou Province.
After the comparison, everyone in the school was very happy, and awarding an honorary doctorate was not a big deal.
Although he said this, Xue Chen still refused with all his strength. He didn't want the donation to go out of style. Originally, he had no intention of exchanging anything. What's more, he was not a member of the system or a celebrity, so he didn't need those empty heads.
The academic title of "brain" adds luster to his head.
Seeing that he refused, the matter was dropped. Then two days later, Geng Qiufeng called again and told him that he had good news. The school had begun preparations to renovate the library and stadium.
The largest reading room will be expanded on the third floor of the library, named Xue Chen Reading Room.
After hearing the good news, Xue Chen really didn't know what to say, but it was much more reliable than the honorary doctorate thing, so he ignored it and let it go.
What's more, all eight recorded programs have been broadcast, and the ratings on the last day accounted for 9.2% in Yunzhou Province, setting a new high. Likewise, it was also the highest ratings for the same period that day.
peak.
Another real happy event is approaching. My cousin Xue Chao and Sister Li Xueying have received their certificates and are about to hold a wedding celebration. According to custom, it will be held in their hometown.
Xue Chen went to his hometown two or three days in advance to help his uncle's family with the wedding. When the day before the wedding was approaching, relatives from all over the country came to Liushu Village to attend the wedding.
There are many relatives who have not seen each other for several years or even more than ten years, such as the third aunt of the second master's family, the fourth uncle's grandma, and the niece of the cousin's family...
Xue Chen listened to his mother introducing these strangers to his relatives. He could only smile, nod, and call them names. He felt dazzled. It was really hard to remember.
Dozens of relatives came and stayed at his house, his uncle's, his third aunt's, and his fourth uncle's. Fortunately, his house had built a new two-story building, and there were many rooms at different prices, so everything was finally arranged.
.
Relatives also know that this branch of relatives of the old Xue family in Liushu Village has become prosperous. The children in the family have stable jobs in the city, bought houses, and settled down. A two-story Western-style building was also built in their hometown. Naturally,
There were more and more interactions.
"Xiaochen, do you have anyone?"
"Not yet. You have to hurry up. Look, your little brother in my family is one year younger than you. The child is already three years old."
"We can't delay the important events of our lives. It's better to get married as soon as possible."
"Xiaochen, my second aunt will introduce a girl to you. I'm sure you'll be satisfied. She's the granddaughter of one of my sisters. She's pretty. She works as a nurse in the county hospital and has a good job."
"Xiaochen, I heard that you found a job for your third aunt's family, Deji, in the city. See if you can help arrange a job for my family, Xiao Guo. Your aunt loved you when you were a child."
It is said that things in the antique circle are complicated, and things can go wrong if you are not careful. You need a clear head. However, Xue Chen feels that relationships with relatives are the most test of skills. Whether you speak or do something, you have to think carefully.
Only when you can say it can you do it.
He really had a big headache, so he had to try his best to avoid places where relatives gathered together. He spent most of his time in the yard to get some air and look at the mountains in the distance that were dyed green.
The wedding process in my hometown is very simple. On the big day, a motorcade will greet the bride. Not only will the new daughter-in-law be picked up, but dozens of the new daughter-in-law’s family members will also come to recognize her and take a look at the husband’s family situation. Then they will go to their hometown.
The wedding celebration is held.
Early in the morning, Xue Chen was dressed neatly. He was indispensable because he had to drive Brother Chao to pick up the bride, which was also the so-called first car.
In rural areas like my hometown of Liushu Village, people are generally very particular about ostentation. A fleet of vehicles for weddings and weddings must have dozens of vehicles. Fleets of different price ranges will be arranged according to financial conditions. The family has some assets.
Audi and BMW, even if they are not all luxury cars, they have to be of the same color, all black, all white, all red, etc., and they look passable.
The uncle's family has also discussed this matter, but of course it mainly depends on Xue Chao's personal wishes.
In the past year or so, Xue Chao can be said to have experienced ups and downs. When he was working in the logistics department of Sunan Tianyun Jewelry, he was very successful and prosperous, but later he was reported and almost imprisoned because he broke up with his girlfriend.
Fortunately, Xue Chen took care of the matter.
Later, I came to Yang'an and served as the manager of a branch of Zhuoyue Antique Store. I slowly got involved in the antique circle, and my impetuous temper completely settled down. I met more people, thought more, and my personality also changed a lot.
Small changes.
I didn’t pay much attention to the wedding convoy, so I found a convoy in the county town. They had all kinds of cars, domestic and joint ventures, and the colors were also mixed.
Xue Chen made a special comment, saying that there was a friend in Haicheng who was engaged in wedding celebrations, and there was a fleet of vehicles to welcome brides. The worst was a Range Rover. He asked if he needed it, because he had a good relationship and the price was not too high.
Chao said no need to bother.
In the vehicle at the head of the motorcade, Xue Chen drove the car and looked at Brother Chao who was sitting in the back seat, breathing heavily, and said: "Brother Chao, you have been very busy these past two days and you got up so early again. You can sleep for a while and wait.
I'll call you when you get there."
"OK."
After nearly three hours of running around, the convoy arrived outside the community where the new daughter-in-law lives. The next step was to pick up the new daughter-in-law. After passing five levels and defeating six generals, dozens of red envelopes were given out, and the woman's boys were sent away who blocked the door.
Girl, just saw the bride.
Xue Chao led Li Xueying downstairs.
And the numerous family members also followed downstairs.
Li Xueying's parents didn't say anything when they saw this not-so-high-end motorcade. They were still smiling. Although they were a little surprised, they didn't care too much. After all, they already knew their son-in-law very well and his financial conditions were very good.
As for not having the money to find a better team, maybe it’s just because I don’t care about that.
Especially in the past six months, the business of the family's plastic factory has been getting better and better, all thanks to the son-in-law's cousin, so what else do they have to be picky about.
The relatives on the mother's side don't think so, especially knowing that the groom is from the countryside, and now they see this low-grade motorcade, they are a little disdainful. It's hard to say anything openly, but privately they don't like it.
Muttering and discussing.
"The fleet we are looking for is too bad. It is not as good as the one I had when my son got married. They were all BMWs."
"Brother Li, didn't he say that the groom has a financial foundation? Isn't he reluctant to spend money?"
"It seems that the road is quite long. Sitting in this car all the way will stop my lumbar spondylosis."
A group of family members got into the car a little unhappy.
Xue Chen did not go upstairs, but stayed in the car and waited. By the way, he took the time to log into the website with his mobile phone to deal with some backlogged appraisal applications.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the car window. It was a young man in his late twenties.
"Is something wrong?" Xue Chen lowered the car window.
"It's okay, want to have a cigarette?" The young man handed over a cigarette and chuckled, "I looked at the entire convoy. You, the leading car, can pass it, but all the other cars behind are too bad.
Save your face, this car belongs to the boss of your wedding company, it’s really nice, how about I help you drive it, you sit in the passenger seat, the groom and the bride sit in the back seat, I am the bride’s relative’s child, and the bride is my sister.”
Xue Chen pushed the cigarette back and said he didn't smoke.
"How about it, brother, let me drive. I have never driven a Mercedes-Benz G-class car. It costs about 15,600,000 yuan. The accelerator must be sufficient. You just have some time to spare. Just sit aside.
You got up quite early in the morning, just in time to catch up on some sleep, and no one knows about it, and they won't deduct your wages."
Seeing this relative of Sister Ying's family rubbing his hands and wanting to drive, Xue Chen smiled and moved to the passenger seat: "Okay, you can drive."
"That's cool, thank you." The man got into the car, touched the steering wheel, gestured with the gear lever, and looked around at the buttons on the center console.
After a while, the bride and groom got in the car.
"Xiao Chen, so you are here." As soon as she got in the car, Li Xueying noticed Xue Chen at first sight and smiled happily.
"Sister Ying, you are so beautiful today." Xue Chen looked back with a smile on his face.
Only then did Li Xueying notice that the person sitting in the driver's seat was her relative's younger brother: "Xiaoyong, why are you here?"
"Uh, sister, I'll come over and drive for you." The man named Xiaoyong glanced at Xue Chen and muttered to himself, so he wasn't the driver of the wedding company's fleet? He should be someone from the groom's family.
Xiaoyong started the car excitedly, stepped on the accelerator, and said cheerfully: "It feels different. This accelerator is enough, much better than the cars I have driven that cost 800,000 or 900,000 yuan."
"Xiaochen, I even watched the program you were recording. What you said was really good and I could understand it." Li Xueying said with a smile.
"I'm just talking casually." Xue Chen touched his nose.
Xiaoyong glanced at Xue Chen and murmured in his heart.
"Also, I also heard that you came back to your school to give a speech. At that time, I saw the news in the newspaper that you donated 10 million to Haicheng University. It really shocked me. Our factory lasted a year
The production value is only this amount."
Xiaoyong, who was driving this time, was finally not calm. His hands shook and he almost drove the car into the opposite lane. Fortunately, Xue Chen took the steering wheel in time and turned it back. (To be continued)
