Chapter 18: Lao He's Family
Uncle Meng may not like to take care of Lao He's family, so he chatted with Ning Zheng, who was sitting on his right, completely by himself. Ning Zheng was also quite happy to talk to him, and the two of them got along very happily while drinking wine.
Maybe he came to Uncle Meng's house but was left out in the cold, Lao He's face was a little ugly, he drank a few sips of wine, and he said as if he was playful, "Old Meng, I heard that Xue Gongtian opened a construction company, and now he is building the community of that piece of land in Gaojia Village. ”
Uncle Meng was stunned for a moment, and then said vaguely, "I don't know much about this. ”
Aunt He's eyes changed slightly, pursed her lips, slowly lowered her head to eat, and did not speak.
"Alas, Lao Meng, you had a relationship with Xue Gongtian back then. It's been so many years, and you haven't come out of it yet. If you want to say that my incident was an accident, don't keep worrying about it. You don't think about yourself, you think about my sister. Look at how old the house you live in, if you still follow Xue Gongtian, you would have lived in a high-end villa a long time ago......"
"Brother, you're enough, don't talk about it, I'm doing well with Lao Meng now, don't worry about it. Aunt He changed her previous gentle tone and interrupted Lao He's chatter strongly.
Lao He frowned, and stopped talking.
Uncle Meng's eyes dimmed in an instant, his whole face sank, and he looked a lot haggard.
Ning Zheng and Tang Xin suddenly felt irritable, why didn't they just come out for a meal, how could they be involved in the scars of the old past between the two families, they had to eat their food silently, as if they didn't hear anything and didn't see anything. One, two, three, I'm a wooden man, yes, that's how they hypnotize themselves.
"Eat, what else to do for the New Year. Lao He's wife came out to play the round.
After the old congratulatory remarks before, a few people no longer have the desire to continue eating. However, because they are all relatives, it is not easy to get too stiff, so I can only continue to eat reluctantly like chewing wax.
He He was the only one present who was not affected at all and still maintained a good mood, because he had been drifting his gaze on Tang Xin since the beginning of the meal. What is happening in the outside world is just a bunch of noise to him, what is beautiful and delicious. He looked at Tang Xin and ate a mouthful, that's what he meant. Fortunately, at this time, everyone buried their heads and didn't pay attention to other people, so naturally no one noticed his strange behavior at the moment.
"Xiaohe, I remember that you are about to graduate. Aunt He quickly adjusted her state and said loudly, mainly because she saw that the scene was a little cold, so she was going to find some topics to ease the atmosphere.
This question directly woke He He, made him come back from his concentration, he cleared his throat, and said in what he thought was the best voice, "Well, I graduated in half a year." ”
"What major are you studying, are you going to stay outside or come back?" Uncle Meng also knew that today's occasion was not suitable for the appearance of certain emotions, and with Aunt He's mediation, he just revealed what had just happened.
"Architectural design, I don't know yet. If you have a good job outside, stay outside, and if you don't, you have to come back. He He was actually reluctant to ask Uncle Meng if he had the time to continue to remain silent, so that he would not interrupt the time to see Tang Xin. Whoever called one of them his aunt and the other his uncle, he had to answer patiently.
"It's not so easy to survive in a big city outside, and it's still too tiring to work hard alone, so it's better to go home and develop. There are people in the new county who can live a relaxed life. Xue Gongtian didn't open a construction company, Lao Meng, if you don't wait for Xiaohe to graduate, you talk to him and see if you can let him in. Your little face, Xue Gongtian must have given it. He and his mother said eagerly.
It was not easy to avoid the topic of Xue Gongtian, and it was mentioned again in the blink of an eye, Uncle Meng's face stiffened again, and finally he said in a low voice, "I rarely have contact with him, there are many construction companies in Xinxian County, so why go to his company." With Xiaohe's ability, other companies will definitely be able to get in. ”
"Old Meng, don't open your eyes and talk nonsense. What is the relationship between you and Xue Gongtian, we still don't know? That Xue Gongtian owes you, and it is simply easy for you to go to him now and talk to him and stuff people into his company. He and his mother were anxious and said in a heavy voice.
Ning Zheng's hand holding a piece of beef shook, and the words "Xue Gongtian owes you" instantly popped into his mind, and he suddenly regretted coming over to eat.
Uncle Meng closed his mouth, his eyes were intertwined with complexity, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Lao Meng, Xiaohe is also your nephew, so you said that you can't help. He He's mother was too lazy to bother talking, so she asked directly.
Uncle Meng's shoulders trembled slightly, he gritted his teeth, and his breathing gradually became short.
"Your name is Xiaohe, right, if you want to go back to Xinxian County after graduating next year, then you can come to Tiangong Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. to find me, and I will arrange a job for you." Ning Zheng spoke when Uncle Meng was the most difficult.
Everyone was stunned and turned their eyes to Ning Zheng.
He He blinked, he didn't expect Ning Zheng to say this, because his eyes were all Tang Xin just now, so he naturally ignored Ning Zheng. Suddenly, when he heard Ning Zheng's relaxed expression, he was a little confused, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You also work at Tiangong Construction Engineering Co., Ltd.?"
"Well, I'm the general manager in it. I can say that I am the biggest in that company besides my brother. More often than not, the company is still dominated by me. Because my brother doesn't really manage the company, I take care of everything. Ning Zheng smiled and said with a very sincere expression, which made people have a good impression when they saw it.
"Who is your brother?" He He was a little surprised, and the young man who looked a little handsome in front of him was actually the general manager of some companies in Tiangong Construction Engineering.
"Xue Gongtian. Ning Zheng said lightly, but there was a pride in his words. There are no more than five people who can say that their brother is Xue Gongtian in front of outsiders, and he is honored to be one of them, so he is naturally worthy of his pride.
Lao He's family's faces changed when they heard this, and they subconsciously regarded the younger brother that Ning Zheng said as their own brother, and said some taboo things about Xue Gongtian in front of Xue Gongtian's younger brother, which made them very embarrassed, and they didn't ask more questions for a while.
Uncle Meng wanted to say something after coming back to his senses, but was stopped by Ning Zheng with his eyes, and he sighed slightly and stopped talking.
"Uncle Meng is old, if there is anything in the future, don't bother her, come to me directly if you have something. In Xinxian, I must be more useful than Uncle Meng when I speak. Ning Zheng said with a smile.
Lao He's family immediately understood, and they could only laugh dryly one by one. What Xue Gongtian is doing, they all know. Xue Gongtian's younger brother is not something they can afford to provoke.
