Because of the lie he had just told, and because of Xu Chunliang's appearance, there was a shy warmth in his heart.
Xu Chunliang said: "Going far away on New Year's Eve? Are you planning to celebrate the New Year on the road?"
"Leave me alone?"
"Whatever!" Xu Chunliang stretched out his hand to her. Su Qing hesitated for a moment, whether to give her hand to him or not, and her face turned even redder.
Xu Chunliang said: "Give me the car keys and I will drive."
Only then did Su Qing realize that she had made a mistake. Her face turned red to the root of her neck. She felt embarrassed. She took out her key and slapped it on Xu Chunliang's palm, and quickly got into the passenger seat.
Originally, Gao Xinhua arranged for the two families to have a dinner together, but Tong Guangsheng joined in midway. He was also celebrating the New Year in Dongzhou for the first time this year. The children and grandchildren proposed that the three families go to his big villa in Green City to celebrate the New Year.
Gao Xinhua's house had four bedrooms and two living rooms, and it certainly couldn't accommodate so many people. He discussed it with Xu Chunliang, and Xu Chunliang also thought it was good. Everyone was familiar with it, and he just happened to visit Tong Guangsheng's mansion.
Tong Guangsheng's detached villa has been bought for ten years and has been renovated long ago. It was originally given to him by someone else. He likes his hometown to be on Weishan Island. Even when he comes to Dongzhou, he stays in a hotel and rarely comes here.
.
After the father and son recognized each other, Shu Yuanhang, his wife and children joined Changxing Hospital. Tong Guangsheng had the villa renovated and he officially moved in before the holiday.
Xu Chunliang drove to Greentown Runyuan and drove directly into the underground parking space. Tong Guangsheng's villa covers an area of more than 800 square meters and has ten parking spaces.
Wang Jinwu had also just arrived from Weishan Island, and Tong Guangsheng treated him as his own son.
Wang Jinwu closed the car door and greeted Xu Chunliang cheerfully: "Brother, here we come!"
Xu Chunliang went up to meet him, Wang Jinwu patted him on the shoulder, and said hello to Su Qing: "Hello, Miss Su!"
Su Qing smiled calmly, she was as beautiful as a chrysanthemum.
Wang Jinwu secretly sighed in his heart, Xu Chunliang swept away all the beautiful girls he had seen.
Wang Jinwu said: "I watched your video. You played so beautifully. You are almost catching up with Bruce Lee. I wish I were there at the scene."
Xu Chunliang said: "Bruce Lee can't beat me."
"I admire you for bragging seriously."
"If you don't agree, let's practice."
"Practice, just practice." Wang Jinwu got into a punching stance.
Xu Chunliang made a gesture to parry.
Su Qing smiled and said: "Stop making trouble, you are acting like children."
Xu Chunliang said: "Have you ever heard of a saying that a man will remain a boy until he dies?"
Su Qing said: "The starting point of this statement is wrong. No matter what mistakes a man makes, he can use this statement to make excuses."
Shu Yuanhang came out to open the door in person: "Brother Jin Wu, why are you here so late?"
Wang Jinwu suddenly remembered that he had not taken down the fresh fish and shrimps he had brought from the farm, and hurried back to get them.
Shu Yuanhang accompanied Xu Chunliang and the others up first.
Shu Yuanhang also heard about Xu Chunliang's incident: "Chunliang, what did the hospital say about your matter?"
Xu Chunliang said: "What can they say? I am not fighting in the hospital and it is not within their jurisdiction."
The three of them took the elevator to the living room on the first floor.
Gao Xinhua's family and Xu Changshan's family have already arrived. Zheng Pei'an and Gao Xinhua are cooking, and Tong Guangsheng is chatting with the two old men.
Xiao Chuhong, Gao Xiaobai, Xu Jiawen, and Zhen Chun gathered at a table and were playing mahjong. Ruan Xingmei and the nanny were setting the table, and Tong Nianzu and Huang Zichun were playing cannonball in the yard.
When Zhen Chun saw Su Qing, she waved to her: "Sister Su Qing! Come and help me read the cards."
Su Qing smiled and passed.
Xu Chunliang said hello to several elders and sat down next to Tong Guangsheng. Tong Guangsheng said: "I was just chatting with you. If you fight with others, you won't call me."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I'll say hello to you first next time."
Everyone laughed.
Tong Guangsheng said: "I just told Uncle Xu that if you don't go well with your job in Changxing, you might as well come to our Xianhong Farm and work with Wang Jinwu. He is too busy."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said nothing.
Tong Guangsheng said: "Don't look down on our Xianhong Farm. The income from my farm is no less than that from your Changxing farm. Counting all the employees in my farm, there are thousands of rich people."
Gao Xinhua came out of the kitchen: "Old Tong, don't worry, Chunliang already has a place to go." Because Xu Chunliang had explained it, he kept it in and said nothing.
Tong Guangsheng asked: "Where are you going?"
Xu Chunliang said: "It's better to go to Weishan Island."
Tong Guangsheng nodded and said, "Okay, Zhao Feiyang is quite wise. If he touches you, I won't agree to it."
Shu Yuanhang said: "Where is the pure and good ability? Zhao Feiyang is not blind."
Xu Chunliang has now completed the procedures, and there is no need to continue to keep it secret, so he announced that he will be seconded to Hushan Town as the deputy mayor. The specific work he is currently responsible for has not yet been decided.
Wang Jinwu came up with fish and shrimp, and happened to hear the news that Xu Chunliang was going to Hushan Town to serve as the deputy mayor. He put the fish and shrimp on the ground and stretched out his hand to Xu Chunliang: "Mayor Xu, on behalf of the people of Hushan Town, I welcome you.
.”
Xu Chunliang said: "Have you washed your hands?"
Tong Guangsheng smiled and said: "Then I will treat this meal as a welcoming banquet for Mayor Xu."
Gao Xinhua said: "That can't be done. Today is the New Year's Eve dinner! Shouldn't there be a special party to welcome Mayor Xu?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I am on secondment, tentatively for three months, and I am a deputy mayor in name only. Please don't make fun of me."
Tong Guangsheng said: "The top leader of Hushan Town is Qin Zhengyang. In addition to him, there are three deputy secretaries and five deputy mayors. You will be the sixth one. This does not include those from the National People's Congress and the Commission for Discipline Inspection."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "There are seventeen leadership groups, and I used to be the last."
Gao Hongtang said: "Because of this, the room for improvement is large enough. If you are made the leader as soon as you come up, what challenges are there?"
Xu Changshan said: "What Lao Gao said makes sense." He didn't care who was in the leadership team of Hushan Town. To him, everyone else was just a foil, and his precious grandson was the only protagonist.
After Su Qing went to Zhen Chun's side, Zhen Chun, with divine help, kept playing tricks and screamed with joy.
When Tong Guangsheng saw that the preparations were almost complete, he invited everyone to join the table for dinner.
Before the meal, the elders began to give out red envelopes to the younger ones. Tong Guangsheng’s was the biggest, and each junior gave 10,000.
Gao Xiaobai found an opportunity and secretly said to Xu Chunliang: "I'm sorry for what happened that day. I have caused trouble to you."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Why are you so polite to me in the relationship between our two families? In my heart, you are just like my sister."
"I am older than you!"
On New Year's Eve, the whole family reunites.
Zhao Feiyang and Pei Lin also returned home for dinner. Although Zhao Dapao didn't like this daughter-in-law, he still accepted her in because she was pregnant.
Pei Lin acted virtuous and gentle, which made her mother-in-law very happy.
Zhao Dapao drank a few glasses of wine, and with the help of his drunkenness, he took out a bank card: "Feiyang, Pei Lin, you are getting married soon. I discussed it with your mother. There is one million in this card."
, is our savings over the years.”
Pei Lin said: "Dad, we can't accept your money. Feiyang and I both have jobs, and our income is okay..."
"Take it!" Zhao Dapao placed the bank card in front of Pei Lin.
Zhao Feiyang winked at Pei Lin. His father's temper was always decisive and his decisions would not be changed.
Pei Lin was a little moved. She could see that the old man loved Zhao Feiyang very much. He had a temper that was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Zhao Dapao said: "There are some things that I shouldn't say originally, but while everyone is here today, I'll say a few words anyway."
Zhao Feiyang said: "Dad, tell me."
Zhao Dapao said: "I was born in the army. I have been a soldier all my life and have done revolutionary work all my life. In my life, I have shed blood for the country and carried guns for the people. I dare to pat my chest and say that I am worthy of the party and the people.
It’s worthy of my military uniform.”
He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. Pei Lin quickly poured it for him with quick eyes and hands.
Zhao Dapao looked at his son and said: "I am old and have only a few years to live. Your mother and I both have pensions. When we live to our age, we understand everything. In this life, how much money is enough?
?I think it’s not important how much money you make. What’s important is that you can leave something to our country and this society.”
Zhao Feiyang and Pei Lin nodded together.
Zhao Dapao said: "Feiyang, you have had ideals and ambitions since you were a child. You are unwilling to be inferior to others and want to be the first in everything. However, everyone's ability is determined. If you only focus on the top and don't pay attention to your steps, you will fall into trouble sooner or later.
"
Pei Lin defended Zhao Feiyang and said, "Dad, Feiyang has a good reputation in Changxing."
Zhao Feiyang glanced at her, clearly blaming her for interrupting his father.
Zhao Dapao said: "Okay, it's useless if you say it, and it's useless if I say it. He is your husband and he is my son. All we see are his advantages and we selectively ignore his shortcomings.
You are now the director of Changxing Hospital, and most of the people around you are sycophants, so how do you know what the grassroots employees really think?"
He paused and then said: "To evaluate your reputation, we have to wait until the day you leave Changxing. If all the employees give a thumbs up when they mention you, then you will be considered qualified."
Zhao Feiyang said: "Dad, don't worry, I will try my best to do this job well."
Zhao Dapao looked at Pei Lin again and said: "Pei Lin, I don't know you well enough, but since you have decided to join our Zhao family, you are part of the Zhao family, so I have to say a few words."
Pei Lin said: "Dad, just say it and I will listen."
Zhao Dapao said: "I heard some rumors that Changxing has become a mom-and-pop shop for you two."
Pei Lin's face burned, and she argued: "Some people just don't like others. Feiyang and I can distinguish between public and private affairs."
Zhao Dapao said: "It is easier said than done to separate public and private matters. If you are a couple in the same unit, one is the dean and the other is the boss, how do you want others to see it?"
