37: Gift-giving
There are still a few days before the Spring Festival, although there is no holiday, but in fact there is no office, and all departments are engaged in sanitation or other welfare and other New Year's Eve. Leaders and people with ideas are particularly busy at this time, relationships must be maintained, and favors must be managed, otherwise no one will remember who soon.
Fan Sicheng asked the family to prepare some things, and planned to go home today to get them, and start his first gift-giving operation from today.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the compound, a small car stopped beside him, and Dai Leting actually came.
"Why are you here? It's so early. Fan Sicheng said as he stood next to the car.
"Get in the car and talk. Dai Leting said.
Fan Sicheng pulled the door and got into the car, while saying, "Say something quickly, I want to go home." ”
"Why are you going home? I'll go too. Dai Leting said.
"What are you going to do?" Although Fan Sicheng had planned to develop with her, he had no plans to take her home.
"I can't go, I'm your girlfriend, can't I go see your parents?" Dai Leting looked sideways at Fan Sicheng and said.
"Next time, I'll go back and get something and go to the city. Fan Sicheng felt that it was not time to take her home, and the two had not officially started.
"Is it a gift to go to the city at this time?" What are you going to give Guo Zhensheng?" Fan Sicheng said that he was going to the city, and Dai Leting immediately knew what he was going to do.
He didn't dare to accept anything of value, and he turned around and forgot who sent it when he turned around and gave something too popular. So I'm going to send something from the countryside, I asked my family to prepare a few three-yellow chickens, and some dried bamboo shoots, preserved ducks, oh, and small taro, Shenghuaishan. It's all homegrown, it's worthless, I don't know if the leaders will like it. Fan Sicheng didn't know the bottom of his heart, Deng Xianwen only told him that he wanted to give something unique and would not leave a bribe for the leader, so he figured out these things.
Dai Leting clapped her hands and smiled: "Okay, good things, I didn't expect you to be so old in giving gifts, these things are good, Guo Zhensheng must like them, especially his wife, that woman likes pure natural things." However, these things are not suitable for you mayor, Ou Jianqiang is originally a rural person, he can easily get these things, and if you give these things to him, you will think that you do not respect him. ”
"Ah, what should I give him?" Fan Si planned to send these things to several leaders.
"Don't worry, I'll help you get ready, let's go, go home first. Dai Leting started the car.
"By car? I think it's better to walk. Fan Sicheng said.
To drive to Longyuan Village, you have to go around to the downstream Longxia Bridge to cross the river. Although the road on the north bank of the river is quite wide, but because of the long-term walking are walk-behind tractors, and no one manages the maintenance, the road surface is quite potholes, and the chassis of the car is low, so it is estimated that it is enough to take such a road.
"I remember that we are not narrow over there, can't we walk? Don't drive, there are so many things, you pick them out, and it doesn't look good to pick them strongly, it's not good to be seen by the villagers. Dai Leting frowned and said, "You really should build bridges and roads, if you want to get rich, build roads first, how many opportunities to make money have been delayed by this bridge and this road." ”
"Okay, drive back, I'll drive in a different position. Fan Sicheng thought for a moment and said.
Fan Sicheng drove a car to bring back a beautiful girl, Fan Shengwei and his wife were very happy, Dai Leting's uncle and aunt were sweet, and the two of them were even more smiling.
"Lao Fan, do you say that this girl is not the object of Sanhan. Fan Sicheng's mother, Wei Jiefang, pulled Fan Shengwei into the kitchen and asked in a whisper.
Fan Sicheng ranks third in the family, and his family likes to call him Sanya, and he also has a nickname called Big Stick by a small friend in the village, of course, this big stick has a point, but it can only be understood.
"How do I know? Didn't he tell you anything?" Fan Shengwei said, lighting a cigarette from the corner of his mouth, "But I guess that's pretty much what it means, if the three of you can marry a city woman, it will be considered a glorious ancestor." ”
For people who have lived in the countryside for generations, it is indeed an honor to be able to marry a wife in the city.
"Hmph, I don't think it's very good, ten fingers don't touch the spring water, can she work? Also, her waist is as thin as a bamboo pole, and her ass is still so small, it is definitely not good to give birth to a woman, and a woman who can't give birth to a child, no matter how beautiful she is, what's the use. Wei Jiefang said.
"My son is going to live in the city in the future, what does it matter if she can work as a farmer?" Fan Shengwei said disapprovingly.
"But I made an appointment with the eighth aunt in Longwei Village, and when her niece came back, I would let them see each other (blind date). I've seen photos of her niece, she's good-looking, and she's also the manager of a company in Pengcheng, and she's very capable. The most important thing is that everyone goes to the village and goes to the village, and they can rest assured that they know the root cause and know everything. Wei Jiefang said.
Fan Shengwei thought for a while and said: "You have your arrangement, he has his relationship, let them meet after making an appointment, it's not bad to have one more choice." ”
After having lunch at home and bringing two prepared New Year's gifts, Fan Sicheng drove to the city, he planned to go to Guo Zhensheng and Chen Meiling's house today, and if he had time, he would go to Ou Jianqiang's house.
"You brought two copies, whose house are you going to go to? On the way, Dai Siting said.
"Secretary Guo and Chen Zhen's house, if you have time, you will go to the district town's house. Fan Sicheng said while driving.
"It's not appropriate for you to arrange it like this, if someone with a heart finds out, they will tell Ou Jianqiang that you don't respect him. Change the route, let's go to Ou Jianqiang's house first, he is in the town anyway. Dai Siting said.
"Okay, let's go to his house first. Fan Sicheng is really not good at this kind of thing, but he is as good as a stream, and Dai Leting obviously knows how to do this kind of thing better than him.
Ou Jianqiang was not at home, and Fan Sicheng repeatedly identified himself with the mayor's wife, who was playing mahjong, and then put down the gift and left. Some gifts are to be given quietly, but this kind of gift must be given openly, and try to let the other party remember who the gift is, otherwise it will be given in vain.
"Why did you come out so soon?" Dai Leting didn't follow into the house, Fan Sicheng came out so quickly, she was very surprised.
Ou Jianqiang is not at home, his wife is playing mahjong again, saying a few words, putting down things and coming out, it is difficult to watch a few mothers-in-law play cards. Fan Sicheng shrugged and said.
"It's okay, so that you can sit at Guo Zhensheng and Chen Meiling's house for a while. Dai Leting said.
Guo Zhensheng is in charge of hats, for Fan Sicheng, a very important person, Dai Leting said, if Guo Zhensheng is at home, try to sit for a while to deepen the impression. However, because of the relationship between Dai Leting and Guo Dangyang, Fan Sicheng was a little apprehensive.
At the important juncture of gift-giving at the end of the year, Fan Sicheng is running around, and Guo Zhensheng and Ou Jianqiang are actually doing such things. Fan Sicheng went to worship their door, they went to worship other people's doors, layer upon layer, closing joints, trapping circles, line after line, this is social relations.
Guo Zhensheng was not at home, but Chen Meiling was actually at home, and invited Fan Sicheng to stay for dinner, Fan Sicheng felt a little flattered.
