"Okay, okay, I won't hold back on you. I came up early because there was a call from above. Several secretaries from the city and several leaders from the county party committee have gathered in the county seat and are rushing here to celebrate their birthday.
Well, let me inform you in advance so that you can welcome them." Liu Nengzhu said.
Tang Qingshan frowned instantly: "What did you say? Someone from the city is coming too? What is this? I'm not hosting a banquet. Otherwise, you call them to stop coming."
sweat.
Liu Nengzhu was speechless.
Driving guests away?
That is to say, Tang Qingshan has such confidence.
Those are the secretaries of several big shots in the city. Why don't you ask them to come?
He suddenly felt a little emotional.
If it were before, Tang Qingshan would never have known him.
But now, Tang Qingshan can no longer take the big shots in the city seriously.
Look, this is confidence.
And the source of all confidence is of course Tang Xiaobao.
I gave birth to a wonderful son!
Liu Nengzhu coughed: "Old Tang, aren't you putting me in a difficult position? They are probably halfway there now. You want me to drive them away? I don't have the courage. Besides, it's not appropriate to drive people away."
Bar?"
Tang Qingshan thought about it, and it was right.
"Well, you can come, but you can't give gifts."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. By the way, is Tang Xiaobao back?"
"No."
"Then you should contact me quickly. Someone will have to chat with the leader then. How about you come?"
Tang Qingshan understood again.
It turned out that they were all here for Tang Xiaobao...
Okay, this is normal.
He was also feeling emotional in his heart.
Fortunately, I gave birth to a good son!
In desperation, Tang Qingshan could only call his son.
After making the call, Tang Qingshan slapped his head and shouted: "Li Dong, Li Dong."
Li Dong ran over.
"Uncle Tang, what's wrong?"
Tang Qingshan said: "No, our dishes may not be prepared enough. There will be guests coming soon. So, you go to the street to buy some more dishes, mainly to buy a few bottles of good wine."
"ah?"
Li Dong was dumbfounded and said, "Uncle Tang, I don't have a car either. I'm sure I'll be in trouble if I go back and forth."
When Liu Nengzhu heard this, he quickly said: "It's okay, I have a car, let's go do these things together." Li Dong quickly said: "That's not possible, you are the mayor, how can such a freshman leader run errands with me?
Woolen cloth."
His tone was a little strange.
Liu Nengzhu could only ignore it and coughed: "Why do you run errands? Even running errands is necessary. Aunt Li is so old, but she is the birthday girl. Now Brother Tang wants to celebrate his birthday. This is a good thing. We should all run this errand."
Besides, leaders who don’t lead are all serving the people.”
sweat……
Tang Qingshan said: "Then I really need to trouble you to make a trip."
"It should be."
Liu Nengzhu greeted Li Dong: "Let's go."
As soon as the two left, Wu Chunmei on the side felt a little proud and whispered: "Hey, why do you think Mayor Liu is willing to run errands?"
"You asked knowingly, right?"
Tang Qingshan glared at him.
Wu Chunmei smiled and said: "Isn't it okay for me to be proud just like this? Our son still has dignity."
"Shouldn't we do this?"
Tang Qingshan frowned and said, "Look, the city leaders have been alarmed now."
"We didn't invite them."
"Hey, the world is so bad. I don't even know what to say. You said that if our son has no future, let alone the city leaders, Mayor Liu probably won't pay attention to us, right?"
"That's right, we all call you Brother Tang now. Hey, Beier has a lot of face."
"Stop talking and go greet the guests."
…
Eleven o'clock noon.
Tang Xiaobao hasn't arrived home yet.
But all the big shots from the city and county arrived.
Not right either.
There were four commercial vehicles and more than a dozen guests, none of whom were official leaders.
A perfect secretary.
They all received the orders from the leaders, and today they specially came to attend the birthday banquet on behalf of the leaders.
I moved several boxes of congratulatory gifts, all of which were nutritional supplements and the like...
Tang Qingshan wanted to refuse, but in the end he couldn't open his mouth.
They were all given to Aunt Li, so there was no reason for him not to accept them.
Besides, he is a leader after all. Deep down, he is still a farmer. He has a natural respect for these officials.
As soon as this group of guests arrived, they attracted the attention of all the guests.
Everyone was talking a lot and paying attention to the situation here.
Tang Qingshan did not dare to neglect and welcomed these special guests to the living room to sit down while Wu Chunmei poured tea for them.
Liu Nengzhu moved two boxes of things, stuffed them into a corner of the living room, and waved to Tang Qingshan.
Tang Qingshan went over, opened the box and took a look, his expression changed.
"Who gave this?"
Liu Nengzhu said enviously: "The city and county gave it to me."
A box of gold leaf cigarettes and a box of Maotai liquor.
It's all good stuff.
Tang Qingshan was a little unhappy.
"Old Tang, don't make any noise about this. It's all what I said above. Just understand. Also, when I just picked them up in the town, they gave me all the gift money. There were twenty-three people in total. The gift money was
The three hundred thousand are all in my car. I will hand over to you later and the list is all here with me." Liu Nengzhu whispered, with deep envy in his tone.
Tang Qingshan really couldn't control his emotions this time.
He said to Liu Nengzhu in a low voice: "Come with me."
In the living room on one side, although everyone was chatting with each other, they were always paying attention to Tang Qingshan's emotions.
At this time, everyone was a little nervous and confused.
It seems that Tang Qingshan is not happy.
Is the gift money short?
These secretaries were all a little embarrassed.
The average salary per capita is more than 10,000. This gift is really quite a lot.
Tang Qingshan took Liu Nengzhu to the bedroom on the second floor.
"Didn't I tell you just now? No one accepts gifts. I'm not trying to make money, I just want to fulfill my filial piety."
Liu Nengzhu said: "Old Tang, you are so sophisticated. If you don't accept everyone's wishes, it will be difficult for them to explain when they go back. Besides, there is no one who doesn't give gifts to a banquet. This is a Chinese tradition."
"Nowadays, the state has issued repeated orders not to hold banquets. Don't they know? They are so rich when they give so many gifts at every turn?" Tang Qingshan said sternly: "In a word, I won't accept any money from you.
Return them all."
"This can't be done, Old Tang. If I do this, I will offend them later. They will have to settle accounts with me. I said, Brother Tang, can I beg you? You must do it."
Don't be like this."
Liu Nengzhu was anxious.
What he said makes sense.
If the gift money is really returned, his ability to do things will probably be questioned by the people above. The leaders above will definitely find trouble for him when they are angry.
The two argued in the room for a while, but no result came out.
