After arriving at Wang Ping's house, there are now many people in Wang Ping's house.
As the captain of an official mission, naturally many people come to visit.
Moreover, people in Wang Ping's yard are naturally willing to go to Wang Ping's house.
After all, he is the captain, and Wang Ping is also the second uncle in this courtyard.
After Lu Yuan and Su Liyan arrived, Wang Ping naturally rushed to entertain Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.
However, the two of them didn't want to stay too long, after all, there were still several stores to go.
After all the relatives in the city have left, they have to return to Qingqiu Village quickly.
So, after saying a few words of happy New Year, Su Liyan sent a few red envelopes to the children of Wang Ping's family.
During the Chinese New Year, it’s really a good time to give gifts.
Of course, with Lu Yuan's status, there is really no need to please Wang Ping now.
It wouldn't matter even if his brother-in-law was still working under Wang Ping.
Judging from Lu Yuan's current abilities, it would be quite simple to get his brother-in-law into the Agriculture Bureau or the Blacksmithing Bureau.
But one thing is that it was indeed Wang Ping who helped Lu Yuan first.
This person needs to know how to be grateful.
This is to give money to Wang Ping directly, let alone the issue of whether to accept gifts as an official now.
The key is to take care of other people's faces.
Is it okay to just shove money into people's hands?
Definitely not.
This Wang Ping is also a shameless person, so naturally he won't accept it.
Wang Ping has three children in his family, one of whom is an adult, but even as an adult, Lu Yuan also sends out red envelopes.
This red envelope is really not small.
Generally speaking, the red envelopes given to children are basically one cent or two cents, depending on the meaning.
But each big red envelope given by Lu Yuan contained ten yuan.
A total of thirty yuan can be regarded as helping Wang Ping's family.
The last time Lu Yuan had a drink with Wang Ping, he heard Wang Ping mutter several times that there was not enough money to spend now. The eldest child was getting ready to get married, and the younger one was just getting ready to go to private school.
After Wang Ping sent Lu Yuan and Su Liyan out of the courtyard and returned home.
Wang Ping's wife was holding three red envelopes in her hands, which were the three big red envelopes that were given out through Su Liyan just now.
There were many people in the house now. Wang Ping's wife pulled Wang Ping to a corner where no one was, opened the red envelope and showed it to Wang Ping, and said with joy on her face:
"Which of your subordinates is this? This is too generous. In this case, we will have enough money for our eldest son's wedding next year!"
Wang Ping was startled, then glared at his wife and said:
"Fuck me, he has to be considered my boss. Lu Yuan belongs to Qing Cang Wei, but this kid calls me uncle. He knows that our family's conditions are not very good. Do you think he is fawning over me?" It's to help us!
Look at how you behaved just now. You didn't even pour hot water for anyone. There were too many people just now. I won't hesitate to blame you. Next time Xiao Lu comes, you have to apologize to others! "
Wang Ping gave his wife a good beating and then took the money away.
Wang Ping's daughter-in-law looked aggrieved. Who knew there would be a high-ranking official in the family during the Chinese New Year this year? The key point is that Lu Yuan is too young...
At this time, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were on their way to Lin Fusheng's house.
"Are you feeling a little worried about money again?"
Lu Yuan hugged his wife and said with amusement.
Su Liyan was startled, then turned back to look at her man and said coquettishly:
"No~"
It would be strange not to.
My wife's thoughts are always on her face. If others can't guess it, how can I guess it myself?
Lu Yuan hugged his wife and smiled:
"The money was not much. First of all, people did help us at that time, so we can't forget our roots.
No matter what, he is still an official, he will always be useful in the future, and he is also Chang Liang's immediate boss. If you give him more, wouldn't it be easier for Chang Liang to get along?
Don’t worry about money, we have it at home~”
Su Liyan doesn't understand this kind of thing, but what Su Liyan understands is that it's right to listen to her man~
Soon he arrived at Lin Fusheng's house.
Lin Fusheng's place is really lively.
Who is this Lin Fusheng!
These are white cuffs!
Not to mention those in our own courtyard, all the young people in the courtyards of the entire community have to go here.
There are also many employees from the Agricultural Bureau, so they should come even more!
This is the second-in-command of the Agriculture Bureau! !
There's really no room for anyone to sit in this room, it's so packed that even standing in there feels cramped.
However, when Lin Fusheng heard that Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were coming, he quickly came out of the house.
Looking at Lu Yuan who was tying the horse's rope, he smiled and said hello:
"Oh, come in, come in, Xinyue, come out quickly and feed Xiaolu's horse some fodder."
A young woman came out of the house immediately. I didn't know if she was Lin Fusheng's daughter or Lin Fusheng's daughter-in-law.
But I think it should be the daughter-in-law. After all, if it were a daughter, how could she be at her own home instead of her mother-in-law's home on New Year's Day?
Lin Fusheng, on the other hand, pulled Lu Yuan's wrist and waved the pretty Su Liyan next to him to go home.
Everyone in the room put their feet up and looked at Lu Yuan through the windows.
No one knew Lu Yuan. After all, neither the people from Lin Fusheng's community nor the people from the Agriculture Bureau had seen Lu Yuan very often.
Everyone is wondering who this is and why Lin Fusheng pays so much attention to him.
Of course, some people guessed it with confidence. After all... although everyone has never seen Lu Yuan's appearance, they have heard of Lu Yuan's name.
After pulling Lu Yuan and Su Liyan through the door, Lin Fusheng excitedly introduced Lu Yuan to everyone.
Soon everyone knew that Lu Yuan was the young man who built the greenhouse and built a fire pit for Lin Fusheng's family.
Nowadays, those who can come out from home to pay New Year greetings are all juniors.
Most of the people from the Agricultural Bureau in Lin Fusheng's house were employees.
For example, some leaders with blue cuffs will have to wait until daytime to come back. Those people are also at home.
After Lu Yuan and Su Liyan entered the room, Lin Fusheng arranged for them to sit down directly.
When Lin Fusheng caught Lu Yuan, he gave him a hard blow.
I felt a little embarrassed to give Lu Yuan the treatment.
Finally, after chatting for a while, Lu Yuan said he was leaving.
This can’t be done without leaving!
A great leader like Lin Fusheng is really eloquent.
If you really want to sit here, Lin Fusheng can say that he is different every day.
It's three o'clock now, and I have to go to Director Xu's house to listen to Director Xu for a while.
After Lu Yuan said he was leaving, Lin Fusheng blinked and said:
"Why are we leaving? Just stay at the uncle's house until dawn. I just happen to have a dumpling meal at the uncle's house this morning."
Lu Yuan smiled and waved his hand:
"No, uncle, I still have to go to Director Xu's house, and I also have to go back to my parents' house with my wife."
Hearing this, Lin Fusheng also knew that he could not keep Lu Yuan. No matter what, Lu Yuan would definitely go to Lao Xu's place.
Finally, Lin Fusheng was sent to Lu Yuan by the stable and said:
"Next year, you first go to pay Lao Xu a New Year greeting, and finally come to the uncle's house. Then you can just stay at the uncle's house until dawn, and then we can eat dumplings together, right?"
Lu Yuan grinned and said:
"Okay, sir."
After Lin Fusheng sent Lu Yuan away, as soon as he entered the house, Aunt Lin suddenly came up and said:
"Dad, look, this is taken from Qiu'e's red envelope. What is it?"
Um?
Lin Fusheng looked at the stack of papers and was a little confused.
People around here also came up curiously.
After Lin Fusheng opened it and took a look, he excitedly patted his thigh and said:
“Rice thresher!!
Ha ha ha ha! ! Rice threshing machine! ! ! "
Lin Fusheng opened the pages one by one and read with great excitement:
"Last time, Xiao Lu said he would wait two or three months, but before the month came, he gave me the treatment!!"
…………
On the way, Su Liyan looked back at Lu Yuan curiously and said:
"Brother, Uncle Lin is a high official, why don't we give you more red envelopes?"
Lu Yuan grinned and said:
"Don't worry, the contents of that red envelope are worth more than thirty silver dollars~"
Soon, Lu Yuan brought Su Liyan to Director Xu's house.
The situation in Director Xu's family is similar to that of Lin Fusheng.
Although Director Xu's house has three rooms, there is not enough room for everyone.
Director Xu also came out to welcome Lu Yuan into the house.
Lu Yuan didn't know many of Director Xu's family members.
Even though Lu Yuan was from the Forging Bureau, in the Forging Bureau he knew the workers in the workshops of the Armory Factory.
Obviously, those workers are not qualified to go to Director Xu's house to pay New Year's greetings.
After entering the door, Director Xu also dragged Lu Yuan to praise everyone.
These big leaders are really good at praising people.
Lu Yuan was even a little embarrassed.
Lu Yuan originally thought about staying with Director Xu for a while, and then going home to prepare for Qingqiu Village.
But now Director Xu won't let Lu Yuan leave no matter what.
Lu Yuanrang was walking away after finishing the morning meal of dumplings at his home.
Lu Yuan looked at the time, it was already four o'clock.
Forget it after thinking about it, let’s finish the morning meal of dumplings at Director Xu’s house.
At around five o'clock, Director Xu's house was almost empty.
Everyone has to go home for dinner.
Except for Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, there are no outsiders in Director Xu's family.
He has Director Xu’s two sons, daughter-in-law, three grandchildren, and two granddaughters.
Adding Aunt Xu.
Lu Yuan and Su Liyan sat together, and Director Xu sat in the main seat.
At this time, Director Xu pulled Lu Yuan and talked about things all over the world.
Su Liyan sat quietly next to her man.
Seeing my man chatting and laughing with these big leaders with white cuffs, I feel extremely proud.
My man is so capable.
No matter who I go to, I always take it very seriously and treat you well.
This makes her seem to be on a higher level than other women.
Although Su Liyan didn't enjoy this, she still couldn't help feeling proud in her heart.
"Uncle, will the threshing machine factory be completed in two months?"
Lu Yuan took a bite of Director Xu's dumplings, then put down his chopsticks and asked curiously.
Director Xu nodded and said:
"Now that the workshop is almost completed, our work department's own business will be completed soon. In more than a month, the craftsmen will be able to enter the factory."
After Lu Yuan nodded, he looked at Director Xu and said straight to the point:
"Uncle, I have a relative at home who is really good at cooking and wants to open a restaurant in the city.
But there was no good place to choose from. I was thinking that if I didn't let him sell a big pot of vegetables at the door, could I leave a piece of land in front of the threshing machine factory? "
Director Xu was startled, looked at Lu Yuan and blinked. After a two-second pause, he nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll take care of this for you when I get back!"
From the two seconds of Director Xu's pause, Lu Yuan knew that he might have taken advantage of someone else's business.
That's true.
There are definitely many people watching this matter.
It is estimated that once the location of the threshing machine factory is selected, the row of land in front of the gate will be reserved.
This is a bit unethical.
You have taken someone else's position.
But...
In this world, you cannot take care of everyone and everything. Since there is no way to take care of everyone and everything, then take care of yourself first.
This is Lu Yuan's life creed.
It's okay for others to suffer a little and be tired, but you must not suffer.
I have stomach problems!
How can I endure hardship when I can only eat soft rice?
Director Xu then looked at Lu Yuan and smiled:
"Come on, Yuan'er, eat quickly, the dumplings made by your milk are really good!"
Lu Yuan nodded and smiled:
"The dumplings made by my grandma are indeed delicious, but I ate dozens of them this morning and they didn't make any difference. Now I really can't eat them anymore."
in reality……
Unappetizing.
The dumplings made by his wife are not as delicious. Lu Yuan now wants to go home and eat the dumplings made by his wife.
The dumplings made by your own wife, rolled out of the skins, and prepared with fillings are considered delicious.
After Director Xu heard this, he smiled and said:
"When I was young, the early morning meal was really delicious. One year, I ate more than thirty at most."
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded.
Then Director Xu suddenly looked at Lu Yuan again and said:
"Yuan'er, the last time I had a drink with Lin Fusheng, I heard him drunkenly say that you wanted to give the Agriculture Bureau the entire rice threshing machine?"
Lu Yuan was stunned, but he admitted openly and said with a smile:
"Uncle Lin came to my house last time and asked me to do a favor. I was too embarrassed to say no, so I got one. I gave him the blueprint just now."
Director Xu was a little confused, so fast?
Didn't Lin Fusheng say it would take a month or two?
After Director Xu came to his senses, he nodded slightly and said:
"That's true. He is a big leader, so you can't refuse him. But, Yuan'er, no matter what, our Forging Bureau is your family, and I am your uncle, right?"
Lu Yuan was a little confused. When did you become my uncle?
However, after what Director Xu said, Lu Yuan felt a little funny.
Why are these words so sour?
Lu Yuan, who came back to his senses, grinned and said:
"That's for sure, so I must let you have a good year."
Director Xu was startled, and the next second he immediately put down his chopsticks, looked at Lu Yuan with excitement and said:
"ah?"
"What a good year?"
Then, Lu Yuan looked at Su Liyan who was standing aside. Su Liyan took out a red envelope from his bag with understanding.
After Lu Yuan took the red envelope, he handed over the drawings inside and said with a smile:
"Uncle, look at this, this is my new bicycle."
