Ning Yue stood up and followed Xu Yansheng to call someone, "Dad, big brother."
Xu Jing is a middle-aged man who looks very kind. He is tall and slightly thin. When Ning Yue shouted, the smile on his face deepened, "Don't be nervous, sit down, sit down, we don't have that many people at home." Rules, follow your own rules."
While he was talking, he also sat next to the old man. He asked about Ning Yue's family affairs, and Ning Yue answered them one by one. Xu Yansheng couldn't tell these things on the phone or in a telegram. How much the Xu family knew about the Ning family? Only in the sense that their whole family is engaged in farming.
"It stands to reason that we, as husbands, should meet your parents before you get married, but I was too busy with work at the time and really couldn't spare the time. You must express our apologies to your in-laws when you go back."
Ning Yue: "You are out of touch when you say this. Yan Sheng contacted our family before he came to my house to propose marriage. My family agreed to his marriage to me. This is enough. The current situation is special. Although my parents don't know each other, A few words, but they are definitely sensible people and they won’t say anything.
Of course, there is no such idea mentally. "
Xu Yanjie had always had a serious face before, sitting aside and just listening and not talking. He and Xu Yansheng had not had much communication. Now he suddenly said, "I heard that you are now working as a teacher in the village to teach primary school students?"
Ning Yue nodded, "It's not me, it's the two of us."
"Brothers and sisters, how about I transfer you back to teach here for a while?"
Unexpectedly, Ning Yue shook her head without thinking, "It's better not to trouble big brother. It doesn't matter where you teach. I feel more comfortable in the countryside."
Xu Yanjie saw that she refused quite simply and didn't look like she was telling lies, so he automatically stopped the topic. However, when he raised his head, he was met with a hidden glare from his old father. Xu Yanjie coughed in embarrassment. At this time, Han Peiyun He came out of the kitchen, "I told you guys to stop talking and wash your hands quickly and start eating right away."
Second brother, go upstairs and call your sister. Pengpeng hasn't come downstairs for a long time. He can't be sleeping all the time. "
It was impossible to sleep. The little guy held the wooden box given by Ning Yue for a long time and played with it. The more he couldn't open it, the more he wanted to open it. He didn't move his buttocks for a long time.
His mother, on the other hand, was a rare son who could calm down. She fell asleep as soon as she watched him, and she slept until after six o'clock.
"Oh, this is the first time I have taken a nap until dark. This little brat is usually very restless and can't settle down for a while. This is the first time he can sit quietly all afternoon."
The little guy who was named had let go of his mother's hand and ran to his grandfather with his box in his arms: "Grandpa, look, my aunt gave this to me. Oh, by the way, I remember my aunt also gave it to me. I gave you a box of tea. Mom and grandma also have gifts, and so does my great-grandfather, but my uncle doesn’t have any."
Xu Yanjie:......
He turned to look at his brother and expressed with his eyes: What's going on? Does your wife have a problem with me or something? Why can everyone in my family receive gifts, but when they reach me, they are gone?
Xu Yansheng: ...he didn't know anything about his wife's gifts for the family except the ginseng. So, how did he know why his eldest brother didn't receive any gifts?
At this time, Ning Yue, who had gone back to the room to get something, happened to come downstairs, with a piece of folded paper in her hand.
"Brother, this is for you, but dinner is already prepared. You should go back to your room and take a look after dinner."
Xu Yanjie suddenly felt confused when he looked at the piece of paper in front of him... My sister-in-law gave me a piece of paper and asked me to read it after I got back to my room. Should I take it?
In the end, Xu Yansheng felt that his brother was being too lazy, so he grabbed the piece of paper and stuffed it into his brother's pocket, and then urged him to go to the restaurant to eat together.
…
The Xu family is lively today. The Luo family also came to have a big dinner tonight. Four generations of people gathered around the long table. Even Luo Xiong went home early and held his little grandson in his arms to feed him personally.
After the meal, he was called into the study by Mr. Luo. Mrs. Luo was used to the father and son going into the study from time to time to talk about business, and she had no curiosity at all.
"How are you doing these busy days?"
Luo Xiong poured the old man a cup of tea with his own hands, and poured a cup of water in his hand. "The seat must be vacant, but there are many people watching. Although I have been busy with this matter these days, but , listening to Uncle Xi, I don’t have much hope.”
Mr. Luo was originally drinking tea. Hearing this, he placed the tea cup on the desk. The tea cup made a crisp sound, and the tea was still hanging out.
"Man is not as good as God. If that thing comes to pass, your road will not be that difficult...
Any idea who the most likely person is? "
"Li Chunsheng."
"Why is it him?"
"This year, the regiment he led achieved a second-class collective merit. Uncle Xi is also the most optimistic about him and is inseparable from him."
After Luo Xiong finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from his body angrily, lit it, and then took a deep puff.
"When will the transfer order come out soon?"
Luo Xiong blew out a smoke ring and said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it has to be after the New Year anyway."
Mr. Luo leaned back in his chair and took a long time to say, "Let's think of a way."
The study was eerily quiet. Luo Xiong sneered in his heart. Yes, he really needs to think of a solution. He is fifty-three this year and will be fifty-four after this year. If he doesn't move, he will have to stay in the group. I will work in this position until I retire.
But he wasn't willing to give in. He was obviously no worse than others, so why couldn't he get promoted every time?
"You want me to check on Li Chunsheng?"
Mr. Luo uttered one word softly in his mouth, "Stupid! Do you really think that he got to the position because of his meritorious service? It's just that the people behind him are tough.
If you touch him, even if he is defeated by you in the end and you take over, will the people behind him be able to spare you? "
Luo Xiong couldn't help but think of his running around in the past few days. What his father said was right. Sometimes promotion is not based on one's own strength, but on one's connections. It's a pity that his father retired a little early, otherwise, he could have taken him to court for many more years. Walk ahead.
He had never thought about it this way before, but after his father retired, he realized that there was a huge difference between being in that position and not being in that position.
"Then what do you mean..."
Mr. Luo tapped his finger toward the northeast, "You can continue what you did before."
Luo Xiong's face was full of confusion, "But, didn't you mean..."
Mr. Luo was somewhat disappointed when he looked at his son. He gave birth to five children in his life, three boys and two girls. The eldest son was bombed to death by the Japanese before he joined the army, and the eldest daughter was badly damaged during the Japanese raids. Like a man, he committed suicide not long after. Before liberation, his third son died on the battlefield, leaving only his second son and youngest daughter alive.
