As time goes by, there are more and more guests in the Chu family courtyard. There are people everywhere in the front yard, backyard, and partitioned rooms, but they are generally familiar people who gather together and divide into groups. One small group after another.
Of course, there are some exceptions.
As for the grandson Xu Damao, he has always been good at sneaking into the camp. Among the guests who came to Chu Heng's house today, there were many people with status and social status.
Ever since, this guy was holding a pack of cigarettes, baring his teeth and grinning, wandering around the crowd, looking for people to have connections with.
One moment he was chatting with Wei Chaoying, and the next moment he ran to chat with Fang Yuchun. It was a joyous experience.
In this way, the time quickly came to ten o'clock, and the aroma of food was already wafting from the big stove in the backyard and the kitchen in the front yard, making some ordinary people in the courtyard swallow their saliva after smelling it.
Xiao Liuhong and a group of children even ran directly to the big stove. They looked at the large bowls of food like greedy cats and begged Silly Zhu to give them a piece of meat to satisfy their greed first.
Amid the commotion, a big shot finally appeared at the Chu family.
The first person who came over was Che Kangbai, director of the Office of the First Machinery Department. He was Chu Heng's comrade-in-arms and Che Xiaobao's father. He was in his fifties, had gray hair, and looked a little thin.
"Brother Compaq is here!"
"Why do you, who have so many things to do, condescend to come to Chu Heng's doghouse?"
"Come on, captain, let's have a cigarette. Chu Heng's big front door is not as easy to smoke as your little panda."
As soon as he entered the hospital, Chu Heng's comrades gathered around him, all big and small, having fun.
A few moments.
After getting the news, Chu Heng also rushed over, said a few words to Che Kangbai, and then ran to greet Father Shen with a brocade box containing a golden longevity lock.
"Hey, a high-ranking official from the city came to my humble house, and it's so bright."
Chu Heng walked out of the door with a playful smile and faced Father Shen who had just got out of the car.
"You stinky boy." Father Shen laughed and slapped him on the shoulder: "You are already a father, why are you still so stubborn?"
"Being a father makes me a junior in front of you." Chu Heng smiled and took his arm, inviting him into the house.
With the arrival of Father Shen, many people in the courtyard were shocked.
These many people refer to ordinary people like Liu Guangtian and Uncle Zhao.
They may not know Che Kangbo, but how could they not know Father Shen, a figure who often appears in newspapers and on TV?
"Is that Senior Official Shen?"
"It seems like I saw it yesterday when I was watching TV in the factory."
"This Chu Heng is really powerful. Even this person can come to his place to drink full moon wine."
"Don't you know this? I heard that Hengzi and the son of Senior Official Shen are comrades in arms."
"Even if he is a comrade, he can't be invited here, right? I think there must be some other connection!"
…
Amid everyone's discussion, big shots came one after another.
Kong Rui, director of the Grain Bureau, Huang Song, director of the Chongwen Public Security Bureau, Zhuang Hua, deputy director of the Second Commercial Bureau, Meng Huazhi of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other leaders, Mr. Liu and his wife from the Liu family, Mr. Xie and Xie Jun from the Xie family, Xie The Ying brothers and sisters...
There are so many that I can hardly count them.
"I originally thought that the lavish ceremony on Tsuneko's wedding day was grand enough, but compared with today's event, it pales into insignificance!"
Xu Damao looked at the big men standing on the top of the tower and was stunned.
…
"Here, take it, the big boss gives this to you."
In the main room, Chu Heng had just poured tea for Father Shen, Mr. Xie and other big shots, when Meng Huazhi handed over a long brocade box with a smile.
"Calligraphy and painting?"
Chu Heng guessed the shape of the brocade box as soon as he saw it. He quickly stepped forward to take it, opened it in front of the big guys, took out a piece of rice paper and unfolded it.
I saw eight big characters written in Zhao style running script on it, "No worries, no worries, peace and joy", and underneath there was the signature of the big boss. The words were full, thick, grand, and had a concise and bright atmosphere.
"Good words!"
Chu Heng praised it with a smile on his face, and without giving others a chance to appreciate it, he rolled it up like a treasure and put it back again: "I have to keep this word well and frame it later to pass it on to my family!"
"You treat a few broken words as a treasure." Xie Lixuan curled his lips disdainfully. Among the people in the hall, he and Mr. Xie were the only ones who dared to say this.
"You don't have a broken character yet." Chu Heng put the brocade box under his arm and looked sideways at the old man: "The boss of the National People's Congress didn't come to dinner and he still gave me a calligraphy. How dare you come here with nothing to do it? Where are they?"
"Who told you that this bastard, I'm empty-handed?" Xie Lixuan suddenly blew his beard and glared.
"Oh, I'm sorry you brought something with you too?" Chu Heng smiled and leaned over, stretching out his hand: "Take it out quickly, you are such a big man, you shouldn't do too much, right?"
"roll roll roll!"
Xie Lixuan, who was sitting on the Arhat's bed, kicked him away and said angrily: "I'm giving this to the child. I haven't even looked at the child yet. What should I give him? Go ahead and give us the child quickly." Take it out and have a look."
"exactly."
"We came here today just for the sake of our children. Why don't you bring them out quickly?"
"Why don't you go quickly?"
"My enemy, if we can't see the child, our gift will be gone!"
Others also laughed and joked.
"Okay, you guys get your things ready and I'll be right back."
Seeing that the shouting was so loud, Chu Heng didn't hesitate, turned around and left the main room, running to the east room to get the child.
At this time, the east room was even more lively than the main room. There were a bunch of female relatives from various families who were close to each other, such as Ge Erni, Miao Ying, Zhang Yi, Xie Ying, Dou Xia, Zhang Min, etc., and most of them were holding their children. Either she has a big belly and the room looks like a confinement center.
"Chu Heng, you came just in time."
Seeing him entering the room, Miao Ying pulled him over with a smile and asked, "We are talking about making a wedding appointment. What do you think of my Liu Hong?"
"No, how much fake wine have you drunk to ask such a question?" Chu looked at her strangely and said, "As for that stupid girl of yours, if my son dares to fall in love with her in the future, I will break his legs. Come down and light the fire!”
"Hey! What do you mean by that? What happened to my Liu Hong? Why is she not worthy of your Chu Zhecheng?" Miao Ying immediately quit and glared at him with her hands on her hips.
"Why don't you deserve it? Come on, come on, come and take a look." Chu Heng pulled her to the window, pointed at Xiao Liuhong who was squatting in front of the kennel, grabbing meat and bones with the black and white dogs and said: " You think this stupid girl of yours is good enough for my son? If you really want to marry me, you can, but you have to call the Marquis back and have another child."
"What are you doing, Liu Hong!"
When Miao Ying saw this scene, her eyes started to spit fire. She picked up the feather duster placed in the corner and rushed out in a hurry.
"Hit her hard, this girl's skin is strong!" Chu Heng gloated and looked at Liu Hong, who was holding the bones and running away in a hurry. He turned around and was about to pick up the child and go to the next door. Unexpectedly, he was entangled by others again. You have to let him choose a child to marry.
Chu Heng was not willing to agree. He spent a lot of effort to deal with these women, and ran to the main room with Chu Zhecheng in his arms.
