On the way back, Fan Lida said with emotion: "You don't know until you encounter something. The Civil Affairs Bureau is much more important than the Culture and Tourism Bureau."
Xu Chunliang said: "The Culture and Tourism Bureau is mainly responsible for people's eating, drinking and having fun, while the Civil Affairs Bureau is responsible for birth, old age, illness and death. This is the difference between survival needs and life needs."
Fan Lida said: "Yes, people can go without food or play, but no one can stop birth, old age, illness and death. I will never trouble you in the future. When I wait a hundred years, you will help me pick a good place."
Xu Chunliang said: "After you wait for a hundred years, I will have retired long ago, and it will definitely be difficult for me to speak."
Fan Lida nodded: "That's true." Everyone in the system knows that the tea gets cold when people leave.
It’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. Today’s Mid-Autumn Festival is special for the Ye family. Mr. Ye has to face the first reunion festival after losing his eldest son. In the past, he was basically in the capital for the festival, but this time is different. His second son, Ye Changquan,
He is also in Neon and unable to return. Even if he returns to Beijing, there will be no one at home.
Considering Mr. Ye's current situation, Xu Changshan took the initiative to invite Mr. Ye to stay in Dongzhou for the festival, and Mr. Ye agreed after thinking about it for a while.
Xu Changshan specially contacted his children and asked them to come back. The younger daughter Xu Jiawen naturally had no problems. The eldest daughter Xu Jiaan made an excuse to work overtime. In fact, she was facing a lot of family problems to deal with and she didn't want to come back under such conditions.
.
Xu Jiaxuan was the one who agreed most readily. When Xu Changshan called him, he had already arrived in China.
On the day he returned to Dongzhou, Xu Chunliang made a special trip to the airport to pick him up. After all, it was still more than thirty kilometers from the airport to the city.
When he saw Xu Jiaxuan, he was walking with a limp. Xu Chunhao asked curiously: "What happened? Was he beaten?" He reached out and took Xu Jiaxuan's suitcase and put it in the trunk.
Xu Jiaxuan said: "You wish I had better luck. I stepped down the stairs and sprained my foot. The doctor said the bone is broken. Just let me rest for a while."
Xu Chunliang said: "Go back and let grandpa treat you."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "I have seen a doctor abroad and there is no big problem."
Xu Chunliang said: "The moon in foreign countries is rounder, right?"
Xu Jiaxuan limped into the car: "Are you feeling uncomfortable if you don't say something sarcastic to me?"
Xu Chunliang noticed that Xu Jiaxuan had become darker and thinner. Thinking of the job he might be engaged in, he deliberately said: "He wasn't shot, was he?"
Xu Jiaxuan smiled and said: "Why are there so many nonsense? I brought you a necklace when I came back this time. I'll give it to you later."
"Why do I, a great old man, wear that thing?"
"You can give it to your girlfriend. By the way, I heard that you and Mei Ruxue had an affair? What happened? She's a very nice girl."
Xu Chunliang said: "Don't worry about my personal feelings."
"How is work? What unit are you in now?"
"Old Xu, did I say you are from the Municipal Administration?"
"I don't care about you."
"Thank you, what were you doing earlier? When I needed care, you were just wandering around the world."
"How can you talk to me? I am a prodigal, but you are a prodigal. Don't think that I don't know how many boats you step on."
"That's a problem with your genes."
Xu Jiaxuan asked seriously: "I have so many good genes, why don't you just follow me?"
Xu Chunliang stepped on the accelerator, and the strong push pushed Xu Jiaxuan against the back of the seat: "What a cheating thing... Ouch, slow down..."
Because Mr. Ye and the others were here, Xu Changshan made an exception this time and did not scold this homeless son. He introduced Xu Jiaxuan to Mr. Ye with a smile. Xu Jiaxuan was also polite and gave Mr. Ye two bottles of the deep-sea fish oil he brought.
Perhaps to make up for the guilt of not being with his father, Xu Jiaxuan took the initiative to cook, and Ye Qingya went to the kitchen to help him.
Xu Jiaxuan was also filled with joy when he saw Ye Qingya. He asked about Ye Qingya's situation in the kitchen, vaguely feeling that she and his son should have some stories.
In fact, Xu Changshan didn't even know what his son's business was now. During dinner, Mr. Ye asked Xu Jiaxuan what his occupation was.
Xu Jiaxuan briefly introduced himself. He used to engage in financial investment, but now he has transformed into construction and installation, undertaking various overseas projects. He currently has two construction sites in Africa.
Xu Changshan said: "I travel all over the world all day long, and I rarely see him once a year."
Mr. Ye smiled and said, "Just be content. It's not easy for Jiaxuan to work hard outside." Thinking of his son Ye Changyuan who will never come back, Mr. Ye inevitably felt sad again in his heart.
Xu Changshan said: "Speaking of which, my son is your son. You are Chunliang's godfather. Jiaxuan is your godson. Jiaxuan is called godfather."
Xu Jiaxuan looked confused. Why did he suddenly have an extra father? He had never heard of such logic. Could it be that the godfather his son recognized was his godfather?
Xu Changshan didn't want to get close to the Ye family, he mainly felt that Mr. Ye had lost a son, and he wanted to use this method to make Mr. Ye feel better.
Of course Mr. Ye knew Xu Changshan's good intentions and said with a smile: "Okay, don't force the child."
Xu Changshan raised his foot and kicked Xu Jiaxuan's leg. Unexpectedly, he happened to touch his wound. Xu Jiaxuan grinned in pain. He endured the pain and knelt down in front of Mr. Ye according to his father's wishes. He shouted respectfully.
Godfather.
Mr. Ye couldn't bear to refuse Xu Changshan's kindness. He smiled and took Xu Jiaxuan's arm and said, "Okay, okay, I got another son." He thought for a while, took off the Oriental watch in his hand and gave it to Xu Jiaxuan to wear. He couldn't help it.
Let people call you godfather in vain.
Xu Jiaxuan was also very sensible, and immediately went to get a watch as a gift to Mr. Ye. His watch was a Glashütte, with a public price of tens of thousands, and he originally wanted to give it to his biological father.
Ye Laodao: "I can't accept it, your watch is too valuable."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Godfather, since you consider me your godson, it is natural for me to honor you. Not to mention a watch, I will take care of your future pension."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Grandpa, he is thinking about your retirement salary."
Mr. Ye laughed loudly: "Okay, you have a share of my inheritance." Although Mr. Ye holds a high position, his personal property is actually not much, and it is not comparable to Xu Jiaxuan. It is mainly to show his attitude. He really likes the Xu family. This
The trip to Dongzhou made him truly feel like a family member.
Of course Xu Jiaxuan knew that with this relationship with the Ye family, his son would have smooth sailing within the system in the future. With Mr. Ye as his escort, his son's future achievements would be limitless.
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Godfather, you always have a problem with Qingya when you say that."
Ye Qingya smiled and said: "I have no objection. I have long regarded Chunliang as my biological brother." Her words clearly emphasized her relationship with Xu Chunliang, and she hoped that no one would misunderstand her.
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Yes, we are a family."
After the meal, Xu Jiaxuan specially called Xu Chunliang out for a walk. Xu Chunliang knew that his father's so-called walk was just an excuse to talk alone.
The two of them walked slowly along the embankment of Yinlong Lake. Xu Jiaxuan said: "I have heard about your aunt. I plan to go to Shanghai after the holiday."
Xu Chunliang said: "Why are you doing other people's housework?"
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Please give me some advice. If you can make do with it, just make do with it. Your aunt doesn't really want to leave, and your uncle also knows his mistake."
Xu Chunliang said: "Liang Shude is not a good guy, don't be polite to him."
Xu Jiaxuan glanced at his son, sighed and said: "What cat doesn't steal? Men can't control themselves sometimes, but your uncle is generally pretty good."
Xu Chunliang said: "You actually still sympathize with him?"
Xu Jiaxuan said: "It's not sympathy. A marriage that has lasted for decades cannot be broken up. If your aunt gets divorced, the family will be gone. In fact, they have no love for a long time. It is just family affection."
"Do you have love with my mother?"
Xu Chunliang's unexpected words made Xu Jiaxuan fall into deep thought. After a while, he answered seriously: "Yes!"
Xu Jiaxuan originally thought that his son would sneer at his answer, but Xu Chunliang did not show any disdain. Thinking of his son's colorful emotional life, it can be said that he is better than his predecessor. Xu Jiaxuan thinks that the two of them should find a way out in this regard.
Resonating, he gently patted Xu Chunliang's shoulder and said, "You understand me."
Xu Chunliang said: "We are different. I am passionate and you are indiscriminate."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "It's not enough to talk about speculation."
Xu Chunliang turned to leave, but he stopped him again: "You went to Shanghai to meet Chen Biyuan's daughter?"
Xu Chunliang looked at Xu Jiaxuan with suspicion. Could it be that he found someone to follow him? Otherwise, how would he know about this?
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Chunliang said: "What is your relationship with Chen Biyuan?"
Xu Jiaxuan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Don't think nonsense, Chen Biyuan and I have nothing, and Qian Chunyi has nothing to do with me."
"There is no three hundred taels of silver here." Xu Chunliang has already asked someone to help with the appraisal, but he has not received the results yet.
Xu Jiaxuan said sincerely: "Son, I know you are suspicious, but no matter what you think, I suggest you avoid interacting with the Qian family as much as possible. It will not do you any good."
Xu Chunliang said: "Are you Lao Te?"
Xu Jiaxuan's face was like a bitter gourd. He limped and sat down on the chair, took out a pack of cigarettes, and just put the cigarette in his mouth, Xu Chunliang took out a lighter and lit it for him.
Xu Jiaxuan took a puff of cigarette and said happily: "You are so filial."
"I'm used to lighting cigarettes for my boss. It's an occupational disease."
Xu Jiaxuan nodded and silently smoked a cigarette.
Xu Chunliang glanced at his injured leg: "It's not that the ankle is sprained, but it looks like the calf is injured. Tell me honestly, what's going on? He must have been shot, right?"
Xu Jiaxuan slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "Some countries are quite chaotic." This was an indirect admission of Xu Chunliang's guess.
Xu Chunliang said: "You and my mother are both old specials?"
"She told you?"
Xu Chunliang nodded.
Xu Jiaxuan burst out laughing: "Young ladies are really good at telling nonsense. She just said this to alleviate the guilt of abandoning you."
Xu Chunliang said: "You are not much better."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "How can there be so many old guys? I admit that the nature of my job is a bit dangerous, but if you want to make a lot of money these days, you have to take certain risks."
