Chapter 155: Celebration Banquet
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, taboo, the market is opened, ground is opened, and the burial is buried.
It is advisable to visit relatives and friends.
Today is the time for every family to visit their relatives, but this time of year is the most difficult time for Chen Mo's family.
Watching the neighbors take their children back to their parents' house and go to their uncle's house, from childhood to adulthood, Chen Mo can only be secretly envious.
Chen Jingye wants to rely on his own strength to make a career to others, so for so many years, Chen Jingye has hardly gone back except for talking to Nansu Chen's family on the phone.
And Li Sufang's maiden family is almost the same as fire and water, so Chen Mo's family has no relatives to leave for so many years.
In his previous life, Chen Mo was very envious of others when he was a child, and shouted that he wanted to go to his grandmother's house and his uncle's house. But every time Li Sufang would show a sad look, she secretly hid in the room and cried for a long time.
After Chen Mo became sensible, he never mentioned the matter of leaving his relatives.
Chen conscientiously dedicates himself to public service, and is honest and honest during his tenure, but to put it bluntly, he is a little rigid, so he has not made any friends for so many years.
And Li Sufang is dedicated to the development of Hanyang City, and everyone knows everyone in Fengshan County.
Therefore, no one will come to Chen's house to pay New Year's greetings.
So when it comes to the Chinese New Year, the Chen family seems to be isolated by the whole world.
For some reason, this situation spread to Chen Jingye's unit, and it once became a laughing stock for everyone.
Every time a meeting was held in the county, those who were offended by Chen Jingye would laugh at Chen Jingye on this topic, saying that Chen Jingye was a lonely man and did not even have a friend. made Chen Jingye lose face, but he couldn't refute it.
In his previous life, Chen Mo secretly complained that Chen Jingye was cowardly and incompetent, but after being reborn, he realized how strong Chen Jingye's heart was, and his father, was actually more tired than anyone else.
In the morning, Chen Mo's family got together for dinner, this year there are more Chen Songziyan and Sangsang, and this year is much more lively than in previous years.
The smiles on Chen Jingye and Li Sufang's faces also increased, and Chen Mo was also happy.
Just after eating, someone called Chen Jingye.
After Chen Jingye answered the phone, his face was a little strange.
Li Sufang asked, "Who hit it?"
"Meixian Rong said that he would hold a celebration party at the county guest house at half past nine this morning, and let the personnel at or above the level of deputy chief of the township under Fengshan County bring their families to participate in it. ”
Li Sufang's face was also full of surprise: "Did you take the wrong medicine for the county man, and what kind of celebration was held on the second day of the Lunar New Year?"
It was said that it was a temporary banquet to celebrate Jinke Group's stay in Fengshan County. Chen Jingye said helplessly.
"Won't you go?" asked Li Sufang.
Chen Jingye said embarrassedly: "This is not good, after all, the county is sincerely invited." ”
"Okay, anyway, we're idle at home, let's go!" Li Sufang said.
"Well, let's pack up and leave right away. After all, it was personally invited by Lord Xian, and Chen Jingye was very solemn.
Chen Jingye changed into a black suit, and Li Sufang wore a red dress, looking noble and generous.
Chen Mo didn't want to change his clothes, but he was forced by Chen Jingye to change into a suit, which made Wen Qing, Yan Qingcheng and Sang Sang Sang's eyes shine.
"Xiao Mo, I didn't expect you to dress up, you're quite handsome!" Wen Qing laughed.
Chen Mo looked helpless, he never paid attention to his appearance, because once he stepped into the Yuanying Realm, immortal cultivators could change their appearance at will, so immortal cultivators only talked about their strength, not their appearance.
Chen Songzi accompanied Wen Qing and the three of them to stay at home, and Chen Mo followed his parents to the county guest house.
The county guest house was very dilapidated, and the room could not accommodate so many people at all, so the celebration banquet was held directly in the courtyard outside the guest house.
Fortunately, today is a sunny day, the venue has been arranged, dozens of large round tables covered with red cloth, red cloth carpets, red lanterns hung high, festive.
Meixian is commanding several subordinates to take care of some deficiencies in details.
When Chen Jingye's family arrived, there were already more than 20 people at the scene, all of whom were local officials in Fengshan County.
Seeing Meixian Duck at a glance, Chen Jingye walked over and said hello: "Meixian Duck, Happy New Year!!"
"Conscientious brother, please take a seat!" Meixian greeted and continued to direct the work, full of enthusiasm, obviously in a good mood.
Chen Jingye took Li Sufang and Chen Mo to sit down in the corner, this is very similar to the father and son of the Chen family, and on the occasion of general gatherings or something, they are specially looking for a place to sit without being noticed.
As time passed, more and more people came. Some acquaintances or those in the same office began to greet each other, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
At a table not far away, a middle-aged man with glasses and a white face happened to see Chen Jingye in the corner, with a look of ill will in his eyes.
"Yo, conscientious, why are you sitting so far away? Come on, Li Zhenchang, let's sit together!"
Chen Jingye frowned, this is his colleague Wang Deputy Zhen, who focuses on culture. Usually Deputy Chief Wang always likes to tease him, and the relationship between the two is very bad, and Chen Jingye doesn't want to sit down.
Next to him, Li Zhenchang smiled and said, "Conscientious, come and sit!"
Li Zhenchang, his immediate boss, can't help but give this face.
Chen Jingye had no choice but to take Li Sufang and Chen Mo to sit over.
"Li Zhenchang, Happy New Year!" Chen Jingye said.
Li Sufang also bowed her hand to Li Zhenchang, but Chen Mo pretended to look away and ignored this Li Zhenchang.
Wang Zhen's eyes were sharp, he saw Chen Mo's small movements, and said with a sharp smile: "Yo, conscientious brother, this is Ling Gongzi, right?
Chen Mo glanced at him lightly, a little bored, this kind of person is indispensable everywhere.
Li Sufang gently touched Chen Mo with her elbow, but Chen Mo pretended not to feel it, and still ignored Deputy Chief Wang.
Chen Jingye reluctantly reminded: "Xiao Mo, what about your Uncle Wang praising you, why don't you thank you Uncle Wang?"
Chen Mo had already seen through Vice President Wang's thoughts, and he didn't bother to take care of it at all, and said lightly: "Thank him, he doesn't deserve it!"
Chen Jingye glared at Chen Mo angrily: "Xiao Mo, how did you speak? Apologize quickly!"
Although Chen Jingye also hated this sinister and cunning Deputy Chief Wang, how could he say that he was also an elder, Chen Mo was really rude when he said this kind of thing!
And Li Zhenchang and other colleagues are watching, and they will definitely say that he has no way to teach his son in the future.
Li Sufang hurriedly gave Chen Mo a round game: "Children are not sensible, if they have anything to say, they will say it directly, which makes everyone laugh." ”
Li Sufang's words mean something. In fact, she had long seen that Vice President Wang had bad intentions, but she was embarrassed to say it directly.
Li Zhenchang and Qi Deputy Zhenchang on the table glanced at Li Sufang and smiled slightly, with a touch of appreciation in their eyes. This woman, the woman does not let the eyebrows.
Deputy Chief Wang was not angry, but smiled brighter: "It's okay, child, it's understandable to be willful, but if he doesn't even pay attention to our Chief Li Zhen, then he will be disrespectful!"
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, but a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
These words seem to be sycophants, but in fact, Deputy Chief Wang Zhen is using him as a gunman.
Chen Jingye and Li Sufang's faces changed, and these words were a bit serious.
