Chapter 4 Betting
Han Sanjiang had no choice but to patiently explain: "Dad, I know what you mean, but I can't watch the Qili Brigade, Zhujiawu, Shigewu, Sanjiangkou these places being washed by the river every year, and Secretary Ouyang is not wrong, as long as we build the berm of this river, and set up good conditions for the future of our hometown and the realization of the four modernizations, the flat field is a good place for mechanized operations! Dad, you are afraid that I can't do it alone, I can also come back with Mu Chunfeng and Miss Mu to build my hometown!"
Zhu Xiaomei retorted: "Child, have you been kicked in the brain by a donkey, if you don't choose such a good Wuhan, why do you want to go back to our poor and remote place·······? For her son's choice, she was helpless, so angry that she fell on the chair, because she was too excited, her whole body trembled, she was really anxious, for fear that her son would go back to the store.
Han Yu was also anxious, and shouted, "Enough, am I still your father?"
"Yes, you are my father, but you can't convince me, Secretary Ouyang is from the Wuyi Commune, not from our store, he can treat our storefront as his hometown, why can't I, I'm still from the store? Dad, since I'm from the store, I have to make suggestions for the store, I have to have a share of the strength for the store, let's be a part! I'm not struggling alone, and Mu Chunfeng, next year's college entrance examination, there will be more college students, I will persuade them to go back to their hometown to contribute! You can rest assured!" Han Sanjiang replied with reason.
"Hehe, son, you are really interesting, why should people Mu Chunfeng listen to you? She is not your daughter-in-law? Nor is she your sister? Can you convince her, if you persuade her to stay at the store, Lao Tzu will agree to let you come back! The key is that you want to stay, so people don't want to stay? Look at what you look like······
"What, look at what it looks like for me, Dad, I have the ability to convince Mu Chunfeng, although she is not my daughter-in-law, nor my sister-in-law, but I believe that I can convince her, or we bet, I will listen to you if you lose, and you have to listen to me if you win, how about it?"
Han Yu glanced at his son in disbelief, and then looked at his daughter-in-law, wanting to ask for her opinion.
Zhu Xiaomei looked at her husband, and then replied: "Miss Mu is not like your kid, a tenacious guy, let's take this bet for your father! If you win, you will do what you want? If you lose, you have to listen to your mother!" The frustrated look she had just now suddenly raised joy on her face, she clearly knew that although Mu Liangen was a captain, he was a tenacious guy, even if his daughter agreed, he would not be able to pass that level, no matter how eloquent Secretary Ouyang was, no matter how insistent he was, he couldn't twist Mu Liangen's stubbornness, no one could convince Mu Liangen, he was a well-known stubborn temper in the commune.
At this time, Han Yu saw the smile on his wife's face, he immediately sighed and was relieved, only they have a big chance of winning and a small side of losing in this bet.
Secretary Ouyang looked at Han Yu's triumphant appearance, and hugged each other: "Han Yu, why are you so stubborn, you obviously know that Mu Liangen is an old stubborn, and you still bet with your son, you, aren't you embarrassed?"
Han Sanjiang also smiled, smiling even brighter, comparing the laughter of his parents to that of his parents.
Han Yu shouted unconvinced: "Boy, you are laughing so presumptuous, what do you want to do?"
Han Sanjiang stopped laughing, and said with a straight face: "Dad, Comrade Han Yu, you lost, and Mom, Comrade Zhu Xiaomei, you also lost, do you know why I bet with you?"
"Why?" he asked, and suddenly everyone cast strange glances, looking at him unreasonably.
Han Sanjiang replied slowly: "Dear parents and parents, you listen well, Mu Chunfeng and I met before the college entrance examination, in the examination room I asked her about her future aspirations, she replied, when she is admitted to the university, she will go back to the store to work after studying, she hopes that her hometown will be built like a big city, with brilliant lights, neon flashes, and a better outlook, I also asked, your father is so stubborn, will he agree with you to go back to your hometown to build?" She smiled and said that although her father is an old stubborn, he has never been stubborn in front of her, as long as she chooses something, her father will not let a fart go, and will respect her choice!"
"Oh, is there such a thing? I see you kid running the train with his mouth full, thinking that Lao Tzu doesn't know, hehe, the old stubborn man has always done his own thing, and even Secretary Ouyang's words are in his ears, what, he, just listen to his daughter's ·····" Han Yu deliberately made a horn shape with his hand in his ear, and couldn't help but shout loudly.
Secretary Ouyang interjected: "Han Yu, the old stubborn man dares not to listen to me, then he still wants to be the captain! I don't like to hear this, you put it away for me, don't sow discord in the matter of your son, this is not good, you know?"
"Okay, okay, you don't believe it, do you? Give me a week, I will give you a satisfactory answer, let's talk in vain, it's useless, as long as Mu Chunfeng writes a letter of guarantee, it doesn't count!" Han Sanjiang didn't bother to talk to him anymore, if he talked too much, it didn't matter if he hurt his feelings, and he would bring negative emotions to Secretary Ouyang.
"Count, as long as there is a guarantee from that girl, saying that she promises to return to the store to work after graduating from college, we will lose! You will win, if you don't have that guarantee, you will lose, you have to listen to us!" Zhu Xiaomei immediately smiled and accosted.
Secretary Ouyang looked at his watch and said, "It's not too early, we have to go to Mu's house to send a notice!" After speaking, he took out Han Sanjiang's notice from his briefcase and handed it to Han Sanjiang. Then smile and say goodbye.
Director Liu, Secretary Sun, and Secretary Xiao Wang also took their leave.
Han Yu immediately said: "Secretary Ouyang, Director Liu, Secretary Sun, Secretary Xiao Wang, don't leave the four of you, it's almost time to eat, let's leave after eating!"
Secretary Ouyang looked at Han Yu and replied bluntly: "Old Han, we won't eat the meal, we are already full of closed doors, and you won't be interested in eating this meal! Let's go, let's go!"
Han Yu touched the back of his head, so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, or wished Xiaomei a quick reaction, and immediately said: "Secretary Ouyang doesn't want to eat our meal, that's angry with us, I'm really sorry, we will have time to eat together in the future!"
Secretary Ouyang replied with a smile: "Little sister Zhujia, it's good for you to say this! In the future, there will be time to eat together, which means that your son will definitely return to the store!
Director Liu, Secretary Sun, and Secretary Xiao Wang smiled knowingly, followed Secretary Ouyang out of the gate of the Han family, and walked in the direction of Mu Liangen's house.
