Tang Qingshan was also in a dilemma in the end, so he simply stopped caring about this matter, thinking that his son would come back later, and it would be good to leave this mess to his son to deal with.

So I went downstairs and chatted with a group of second leaders.

These secretaries are all celebrities around the leader, and they are also the spokespersons of the leader, they are all monkey spirits, and it is naturally very difficult to talk to each other, but they only look very happy.

Tang Qingshan is a straightforward person, and he can't stand this kind of atmosphere the most, and with these leaders, it is better to find a few old guys in the village to brag about it.

So, for him, it was the ordeal.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Li Dong came in and said, "Uncle Tang, the kitchen has already prepared the meal, do you think it will be open now?"

Tang Qingshan said: "Then Cheng, let's prepare for the banquet." ”

Liu Nengzhu on the side hurriedly said: "Old Tang, your son hasn't come back yet, is it appropriate to open it now?"

"yes, wait a minute. ”

"Yes, I have to wait for Mr. Tang to come back. ”

"Yes, yes, wait. ”

A group of distinguished guests all said.

Tang Qingshan was depressed.

If I had known, I shouldn't have let them come.

This matter made a lot of trouble, and the thief in his heart was not happy.

So just wait.

After a while, the horn of the car sounded outside, and then Tang Xiaobao and Yaoyao finally came late.

"Yo, Dad, there are so many guests. ”

Tang Xiaobao greeted with a smile.

A group of secretaries quickly stood up and shook hands with Tang Xiaobao one after another.

Tang Xiaobao was very faceless and looked at Tang Qingshan.

Tang Qingshan pulled his son aside and whispered, "You can count it back, these people are the secretaries of the leaders of the city and county, and I don't know where they heard the news, but they all came." ”

"Come on, come on. ”

"But they also gave gifts, I told you, let's hold a birthday banquet for your Aunt Li, but you are not allowed to accept gifts. ”

Tang Xiaobao said: "Dad, you have an idea about this matter, and if you say you don't accept it, you won't accept it." ”

"They gave all the money to Mayor Liu, a total of 300,000 yuan. Tang Qingshan said in a sullen voice: "You can deal with this matter, I can tell you, you are not allowed to accept this gift, we are not short of money, this money is collected, how bad the impact is." ”

Tang Xiaobao said casually: "Then don't accept it, leave this matter to me to deal with, I'm not afraid of offending them." ”

The father and son discussed for a while, Tang Xiaobao went over, gave a group of secretaries a cigarette, sat down and said straight to the point: "I heard, you all gave gifts?"

A group of secretaries looked at each other, and after a while, someone finally stood up and sneered: "It should be, the tradition of our Huaxia Kingdom is like this, to eat a birthday banquet, you must have to pay for it." ”

"But we don't have this tradition in our family. Tang Xiaobao said: "You are all people around the leader, there are no outsiders here, I will say it directly, now the state has repeatedly ordered that it is not allowed to borrow banquets to collect money, I am not a party member, but I still have consciousness, these money, you bring it back yourself, everyone must eat and drink well for a while, and other things are mentioned." ”

"This can't work, Mr. Tang, this is a little bit of our leader's meaning, you can't explain it to us when we go back." ”

"Yes, Mr. Tang, it's not a big courtesy, our leader said, this money is all their private, and it's not public money, you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Tang Xiaobao waved his hand and interrupted everyone's words.

"I said everyone, am I a person who is short of money? I don't know, which leader is so generous, 10,000 yuan, it should be their salary for several months, right? Don't say that you can't pay the errand, go back and tell your leader, who thinks that my Tang Xiaobao is doing too much, you can come to me, I will wait for him. ”

Sweat......

Tang Xiaobao is making a fortune.

The crowd was a little embarrassed.

But no one dared to speak.

Tang Xiaobao said to Liu Nengzhu: "Mayor Liu, return the money to them in a while, and in addition, move all the tobacco and alcohol." ”

Liu Nengzhu was a little embarrassed.

Tang Xiaobao was not happy, and said with a straight face: "Those who come today, those who don't give gifts, they are all guests, I thank you, treat them well, whoever wants to give gifts, that is, look down on me Tang Xiaobao, I won't stay, where should I go back." ”

Sweat......

That's a bad thing to say.

A group of people were embarrassed.

But no one spoke, and even many began to change their attitudes, laughing alongside.

Well, the atmosphere has finally eased.

Everyone agreed with Tang Xiaobao's plan.

Banquet opening.

Tang Qingshan pulled his son aside and said, "How do you talk to others, how bad your attitude is, who can be happy?"

"That's their business, Dad, didn't I do what you said, or could you have a better way to deal with this?"

Tang Qingshan was stunned and speechless.

Tang Xiaobao smiled: "Dad, to be honest, we don't have to look at their faces now, think about it, if we are as poor as before, will they come?"

"Yes. ”

"That's right, now they have to look at our faces to act, so they don't need to give them a good face at all, besides, if they are really good officials, if they don't give gifts, don't come to the banquet, where are these things, so they are all self-inflicted, and they are smart. ”

"You have a lot of reasons. ”

Tang Xiaobao said with a smile: "Dad, let's go, it's time for the banquet, don't you want to accompany them to drink for a while, I'll accompany Aunt Li to eat together." ”

"No, these guests, you have to accompany them. ”

"I'm going?"

"Yes, it must be you, people are coming for you. ”

"That's done. ”

Tang Qingshan said again: "By the way, there are a lot of people from your Aunt Li's mother's family, you go to toast for a while, don't let people gossip, you can't forget this because you have money now, this is to celebrate your Aunt Li's birthday." ”

Tang Xiaobao was stunned: "Is there still anyone from her mother's house? I haven't seen her move around for decades, why is she here now?"

"It's not because of you. ”

Tang Xiaobao was embarrassed and speechless with a wry smile.

At one o'clock, the banquet began.

Tang Xiaobao sat at a table with a group of secretaries.

He drank a lot of wine, accompanied all the guests at this table, and went to toast the people of the eldest lady's family.

Aunt Li was also at that table, her face seemed to be a little not good, and she didn't look very happy.

The banquet lasted until 4 p.m.

The people of Aunt Li's mother's family said goodbye, and Tang Xiaobao and Aunt Li sent each other off.

A group of secretaries also left with cash and gifts.

Aunt Li grabbed Tang Xiaobao's hand, her eyes were red, and said, "Xiaobao, I-"

She didn't even know what to say.

Tang Xiaobao said with a smile: "Auntie, we are all a family, don't say anything, I understand, it's okay." ”

"I'm sorry for your trouble. ”

"What's the trouble, I'm going to give you a pension and send me to the end of your life, you can treat me as your son. ”

Aunt Li's eyes were red, and tears fell down in big drops.
