The popularity of Lao Li's family in Xiangyang Township is still good.

Old man Li Guangming was sixty-five years old, and the banquet was directly placed in the courtyard of the fourth family. Li Jianjun also deliberately went to the restaurant in the town, invited a few cooks back, and arranged more than a dozen tables of food. After hearing the news, the neighbors who had known the news for a long time all ran over to say hello and sit together to join in the fun.

Several cars were already parked at the gate of the yard. Just look at the license plate, you can know that it is basically all from the Baixiong Township Government, after all, it is the birthday of the township chief's father.

The head of Xiangyang Township also rushed over when he heard the news, and shouted as soon as he entered the door, "I said Lao Li, this is also my one-acre and three-point land, Ling Zun Dashou, don't call me, you obviously look down on me......?"

"Yo! It's Township Chief Zhang, isn't Township Chief Li also afraid of bothering you, come on, come on, please inside, please inside!" Zhu Weiqiang heard the voice, quickly got up, and welcomed Township Chief Zhang and his party straight into the back room. There are already 3 tables inside, all of which are the leading figures in the township. They chatted loudly in the back room, as if no one was around, praising each other, and from time to time there were bursts of unbridled laughter.

Li Duo didn't like this kind of scene the most, she turned around and whispered to Li Hao who was sitting next to her, "Brother, look at the appearance of those people, they are still leaders, they are really unqualified, hum!"

"What are you two hiding here muttering about?" Li Shen, who happened to be passing by here, was obviously unhappy.

Li Shen is the only son of Li Jiandan, and he has looked down on Li Hao and Li Duo since he was a child, and has always thought that he is much better than them wherever he is. No matter what time it is, the two of them can always be just dim little characters who follow them.

"Do you know who they are? Let me tell you, Township Chief Zhang sitting on my father's right side needless to say, the fat man sitting on my father's left is the county magistrate of Qinghe County! The one next to him is the head of the Qinghe County Organization Department; the woman wearing glasses is the deputy director of the Qinghe County Finance Bureau, and the bald one is the director of our township police station...... Their table was full of county leaders. After introducing everyone in one go, Li Shen glanced at Li Duo contemptuously, "Hmph, don't you know, my dad is going to be transferred to the county this year and become the executive deputy county magistrate." Although the tone of disdain in his mouth was clear, the word smug was clearly written on his face.

As soon as Li Duo saw Li Shen's arrogant appearance, he felt uncomfortable, and was about to stand up and say a few sarcastic words, but Li Hao secretly pulled him under the table, so he had to snort coldly and ignore him anymore.

Li Hao looked at Li Shen with a smug face, and then glanced at the indignant Li Duo beside him, and thought to himself, they are also students, Li Shen and Li Duo are obviously two types of people. Li Shen has been spoiled like a baby since he was a child, very snobbish, and likes to compare, while Li Duo is innocent and kind, straightforward and fast-talking, what to say, like himself. It's no wonder that in the previous life, I didn't like Li Shen very much, but I was very close to Li Duo.

Seeing that Li Hao and the two of them stopped talking, Li Shen thought that he had shocked them, so he walked into the back room with his head raised with a satisfied face.

......

Seeing that it was about to be noon, in the direction of the intersection into the township, two military vehicles with license plates from the Garrison Department of the Eastern Military Region drove up. After the car stopped, six servicemen walked out of it. Li Guoqing, who has not been back for several years, is one of them. However, only Li Guoqing had the rank of captain on his shoulders, and the other five people were only wearing camouflage uniforms and did not hold titles. The group walked straight into the courtyard under the attention of everyone and stood still.

Li Guoqing's eyes swept away, walked quickly to the old man, stood upright, and saluted, "Dad, the unfilial son is back." Putting down the palm of his hand, there were already two lines of tears, and he couldn't choke up, "Dad, give birth...... Birthday...... Happy birthday!"

The old man was also very excited, he trembled and stretched out his hand, touched Li Guoqing's epaulettes, and tirelessly helped Li Guoqing carry his military uniform over and over again, and kept chattering, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"

Seeing this scene, Li Jianjun hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the old man, "Dad, let's sit down and talk while eating if there is something." Then he snorted at Li Guoqing, "Old Five, don't pestle there, these are your colleagues, right? ”

"Oh, yes, yes......" Li Guoqing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned sideways slightly, and stretched out his hand to point at an older old soldier, "Dad, this is our chief, and the rest are my comrades-in-arms." ”

Although the old soldier who was called the chief by Li Guoqing was full of silver hair, he was in good spirits, he walked in front of Li Guangming, also saluted a standard military salute, and then grabbed Li Guangming's hand, "Old man, thank you for raising a pillar of talent for the country!"

"National Day, this ...... This is?" Li Guangming was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

The old soldier didn't make any explanation, but said to Li Guoqing, "Company Commander Li, why don't you hurry up and bring the birthday gift you prepared for the old man?"

"Yes!" Li Guoqing heard this, straightened his chest, knocked his two heels, turned around and walked towards a comrade-in-arms, took a small box from his hand, and held it in front of Li Guangming with a solemn expression. The old man's face was full of doubts, and he opened the box with a trembling face.

Inside the box, there are four glittering military merit medals neatly arranged - 1 individual second-class merit, 1 collective second-class merit, and 2 individual third-class merit.

It's a time of peace, and it's not easy to get a military medal, especially four. Considering Li Guoqing's rank of captain and his age of only 37 years old, everyone couldn't help but be curious.

Except, of course, for Li Hao.

In the previous life, Li Hao was only arguing with Li Shen at that time, and did not pay attention to the situation outside, so he missed an opportunity. In this life, he shouldn't let himself have this regret again.

"Okay, sit, sit. Li Guangming said happily, "Huilian, help me put this gift away!

An old lady who had already cried into tears, trembling and just wanted to stand up, she was held down by Zhang Shufen, "Mom, let's come, you sit, don't fall again in a while." With that, he walked over and took the box and handed it to the old lady. The old lady held the box tightly in her arms, and her mouth was babbling, not knowing what to say.

The people at the table in the back room also heard the movement outside and looked over to this side of the courtyard.

"Ahem, Xiao Zhu ......" Seeing this, Li Jiandang leaned back slightly.

"Got it, village chief. Zhu Weiqiang, who was sitting behind him, agreed, got up and walked out of the house. After a while, he came back and whispered a few words behind Li Jiandang.

"Oh, Captain, I really didn't see it at the beginning, but he still has this ability?" Li Jiandang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and quickly calculated in his heart, if he let a few people here know that he still has such a captain relative in the army, it is estimated that he will definitely help his future career. Thinking of this, he pouted, "Go, call him in and let him toast these leaders." ”

"Yes, village chief. ”

......

"Hey, why didn't you see a few of them?" Li Guoqing sat down and looked around, "Don't you know that today is Dad's birthday?"

"Ahem, don't mention the third rabbit cub, since he was released from prison, I don't know where the person is, so many years have passed, and I don't know how to send a letter to my family. Your fourth sister is helping to prepare the dishes in the back kitchen, as for your second brother...... How can I say it, people are not leaders, how can they sit and eat with us ordinary people again. Li Jianjun glanced vaguely at the hall, "Oh, aren't they all eating inside?" ”

"Our dad is sitting outside, he ......" Li Guoqing was a little unhappy when he heard it, and just wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Li Jianjun reaching out his hand.

"Alas, it's okay to get used to it. The second child has indeed changed a lot in the past two years. Besides, even the old man himself didn't say anything, what are we two talking about?"

"Big brother, you can't say that......" Li Guoqing was about to refute, and a young man walked quickly in front of him, "This is Company Commander Li, right? The township chief wants you to go to the inner house and get to know the leaders of those counties." ”

"Township Chief?" Li Guoqing felt very uncomfortable, and his tone was not very good.

"Well, it's Li Jiandang, Township Chief Li. Zhu Weiqiang whispered.

"Oh......" Li Guoqing dragged a long tone and looked him up and down, "What do you call it?"

"My surname is Zhu, and I am the secretary of Township Chief Li," Zhu Weiqiang frowned slightly when he heard that Li Guoqing's tone was a little wrong.

"Trouble Secretary Zhu to go back and tell that Township Chief Li, just say, today is my father's birthday, I want to accompany my father to dinner, I don't have time. ”

"Okay, I'll convey your meaning to Township Chief Li, you can use it slowly!" Zhu Weiqiang probably understood what Li Guoqing meant, smiled contemptuously, and turned to leave. After all, in his eyes, the energy of an executive deputy county magistrate is far greater than that of a captain of unknown origin.

"Did he really say that?" After Li Jiandang heard Zhu Weiqiang's words, his face was full of displeasure, and he scolded secretly, "I don't know how to lift!"

......

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

After the leaders in the back room had eaten and drunk enough, they said hello to Li Jiandang, and left in the car one after another. Li Jiandang was the last to go out, passing by the compound, glancing at Li Guoqing's table out of the corner of his eye, snorting disdainfully, and walked out of the courtyard directly, without the slightest intention of coming over to reminisce.

The old man saw it in his eyes, smiled bitterly, and said nothing.

The villagers sitting in the courtyard were almost scattered at this time, and there were only a few people from the Lao Li family left. The women began to clean up quickly, and the men gathered together, gathered at the table again, and continued to drink and chat.

"Officer Li, why are you sullen today, this is not like you?" Li Guohuan teased Li Hao on the back, and at the same time handed over a box of Venus mobile phones, "Assign work quickly, the fourth aunt will give you a gift." As he spoke, he pulled Li Hao's hair a few times, "Remember, no matter where you go, you have to do a good job! Don't embarrass your fourth aunt." ”

"Huh, a gift for me...... Wow! Great! Han Guo's Venus smartphone Alas!" Li Hao's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Fourth Aunt!"

"This kid ......" Li Guohuan patted Li Hao's face, turned around and went back to work.

Looking at the back of the fourth aunt, Li Hao fell into the memories of the previous life. Why don't you remember such a valuable gift...... Could it be that there was no quarrel with Li Shen...... If you think about it, this is the only reason that can be justified.

In the last life, he only cared about the pleasure of the picture, although together with Li Duo, he refuted Li Shen to the end, but he was scolded by his father Li Jianjun because of this, and in a fit of anger, he ran back without even finishing the meal. On the same day, I took the bus straight back to school.

may be because of this, the gift prepared by the fourth aunt has never had a chance to be given to herself.

......

"Alas, I said, fourth, what are you spending that money for? Li Hao, doesn't he already have a pager?" Zhang Shufen complained about Li Guohuan while sweeping the ground.

"Ahem, his sister-in-law, there are fewer and fewer pagers now, and it is estimated that in a few months, even the pager will not be used. ”

"Is there anything else about this?" Zhang Shufen rarely cared about these, "That...... It's better to leave it to Xiao Duo for later use. ”

"It's okay, it's just a mobile phone, it's not worth a few dollars. Li Guohuan turned his head to look at his daughter who was sitting next to Li Hao and was whispering to him, and sighed, "Alas...... If Xiao Duo is half as smart as Li Hao, I will be relieved. You see, she even went to a key high school, and she only got in because she was asked for a relationship! I don't know if she will be able to be admitted to college next year!"

"Look at what you said," Zhang Shufen put down the broom in her hand, "Xiao Duo is such a clever girl, can she not be admitted to college?" ”

"Wow, there's a video recording function too. Li Hao couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and play with it, thinking about it for a while. Turning his head, he deliberately stretched out his hand towards Li Guoqing, "Uncle, look...... Hehe, I don't need to say it!"

"Ah, this ......" Li Guoqing's face turned red all of a sudden, "I didn't know there was such a thing, I didn't have any preparations in advance......

"Old Five, you don't have to pay attention to him, kick the nose in the face!" Zhang Shufen hurriedly stepped forward to relieve Li Guoqing.

"Cut ......" Li Duo was obviously on Li Hao's side, she didn't think it was a big deal and coaxed loudly on the side, "It's still an uncle, because my brother has something to do, I've been talking about you." ”

Hearing this, Li Guoqing's face turned even redder, and he sat there helplessly, not knowing what to do.

"Hahaha......" When the two eldest children saw Li Guoqing's appearance, they immediately leaned forward and closed their backs with joy.

At this time, the old soldier who came with Li Guoqing turned his head to look at Li Hao with a smile, "Little ghost, which school are you studying?"

Li Hao immediately put away his hippie smile when he heard this, and his expression was straight, "Grandpa, I am studying at Huaguo Criminal Police University, this year is my internship year, and I will graduate next year." ”

"Hmm...... Internship year...... It's quite critical. In this way, this gift, I will give it to you for your uncle, what do you think?" The old soldier looked at Li Hao with a smile.

"Chief, this is unacceptable. Li Guoqing heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand again and again.

"Yes, yes, yes, the little kid is not sensible, don't you take it to heart?" Zhang Shufen also became anxious.

"That's it, that's it, they haven't seen each other for a long time, they're joking," Li Guohuan came up and wanted to pull the two children away, "These people have been like this since they were young, they can't be taken seriously." ”

"Well, it's okay. The old soldier waved his hand.

"Oh, what kind of gift do you want to give me, grandpa?" Li Hao deliberately made a dumb look.

"Well, I think about it...... Internship year......" The veteran thought for a moment, "That's it, Secretary Wang of your university, and I are old buddies, I'll help you make a phone call and ask him to help you find a better internship unit when you intern, what do you think?"

When several people in the Li family heard this, they looked at the old soldier with some surprise, and while they were happy for Li Hao, they were all wondering in their hearts what the origin of this person was.

Li Hao shook his head calmly, "No need, let people take care of it, it's not a good thing! I, Li Hao, although I'm not a big person, but I really can't do this kind of thing through the back door." After speaking, he glanced at the old soldier, "Thank you grandpa for your kindness! However, I prefer to be a person with a clear conscience!"

The old soldier secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, and after a pause, he continued, "Since I have already said that I will give it, I can't talk and don't count, so what gift do you want?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, can I save it first, and when I think about it, you can give it to me, can you see it?" Li Hao looked at the old man with a smile, his little eyes flashing with a sly light.

"Oh?" the old soldier was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Hahaha, okay! This little devil is interesting." National Day, leave my personal phone number to him for a while. Hahaha......"
