Chapter 279: Pomp
The people in the yard, after hearing the sound of brakes outside, looked back one after another, and it didn't take long to see two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, standing behind an old man in Tang costumes on the left and right, and carrying a fruit basket in his hand, walking towards the courtyard.
"Hey, Mr. Ouyang, you've arrived!" Pang Chengde had just walked into the courtyard, and he saw Ouyang Yu's father and son sitting at the dinner table, and said with some surprise.
"Hehe, our home is in Nanfeng City, so naturally we have to come one step earlier than Mr. Pang!" Ouyang Yu stood up from the stool and said with a smile after seeing Pang Chengde and them come in.
"Brother Xia, brother and sister, and Miss Han, Hanhan, I wish you a happy New Year!" Pang Chengde is a human spirit, and when he was at Qin Xiaotian's house in Yandu City, he had already met Xia Zhengwen and his wife, and successfully got into a relationship.
When we meet at this time, we are no strangers!
After Xia Zhengwen and his wife saw him, they were much more natural than when they faced Ouyang Yu, stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Pang, why did you come all the way from Yandu City! Come on, come on, please take a seat, please take a seat!"
After Ouyang Yu looked at the reaction of Xia Zhengwen and his wife, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said secretly: "I was negligent in this regard, it seems that I will have to move around more with Xiaotian's family in the future!"
Li Xuehua took out two benches from the living room again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pang, when I was in Yandu last time, I didn't bother you a lot. When you come to our house this time, you must let us entertain you well!"
"Hahaha...... , brother and sister, you are too polite, as long as you don't bother me as an old man!" Pang Chengde laughed heartily, but his eyes looked towards Qin Xiaotian from time to time.
After Qin Xiaotian nodded with them, he said, "Mr. Pang, let's all sit down and have a light meal together!"
Pang Chengde was very concerned about Qin Xiaotian's invitation, you must know that Qin Xiaotian and they are eating a family banquet now, and being able to let him sit at the table means that Qin Xiaotian has officially accepted them.
The reason why he came here with a meal is precisely for this meal, which is also his old way, after all, the guests who came for the New Year can't drive the guests out, right?
So after hearing Qin Xiaotian's words, Pang Chengde showed a look of joy on his face, and said again and again: "Okay, okay, then I'll disturb you!"
Pang Chengde's father and son, plus Ouyang Yu's father and son, made the originally very spacious dinner table a little crowded at this time.
Xia Zhengwen said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, everyone! I don't have any good things at home, or I'll go to the street to book two tables now, let's ......."
Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by Ouyang Yu, Pang Chengde and others at the same time: "No need, no trouble, it's good to eat like this!"
What kind of delicacies and delicacies have they never eaten? What they care about is the form and nature of the meal, not what they eat!
Being able to get close to Qin Xiaotian and get his approval is the most important thing, as for what they eat, where will they care!
Suddenly, there were five more people, and they didn't want to go out to eat, so Li Xuehua had no choice but to say, "Then you wait a minute, I'll go next door and borrow two tables to come over!"
"No, no, Auntie, sit down, let's just go for this kind of thing!" Xie Junyi and Tang Huaizhi hurriedly stopped Li Xuehua and volunteered to borrow a table next door.
Ouyang Lichen and Pang Zhifei, Pang Zhiru also stood up at this time, rushing to go, and finally the five of them couldn't argue, so they simply went next door together!
"Mayor Pang doesn't have a shelf!" Ouyang Shao looked at Pang Zhifei with them, and couldn't help but sigh.
It's just that his words were like a thunderbolt, which scorched the relatives of the Xia family on the table, including Xia Zhengwen and his wife.
Li Le kept recalling in his mind, and after thinking for a long time, he said in an uncertain tone: "Let's ...... Our Nanfeng City, it seems to be ...... It doesn't seem like there's a mayor with the surname Pang, right?"
After Ouyang Yu saw the people of the Xia family, his face was full of shock, and then he realized that he had leaked his mouth, you must know that Qin Xiaotian's family and relatives seem to be ordinary people!
If Pang Zhifei's identity is known, it will definitely affect their mood, and the family banquet will be completely sour!
"This ...... I ......"
After seeing Ouyang Yu's somewhat embarrassed expression, Qin Xiaotian nodded at him slightly, signaling that he didn't have to mind, Ouyang Yu relieved himself and explained: "Mayor Pang is the mayor of Yan City, not our Nanfeng City!"
"Mayor ...... of the weir city"
Although Nanfeng City is also a city, it is also a county-level city that has only been changed in recent years, and compared with the provincial capital of Bachuan Province, it is simply incomparable!
Xia Zhengwen and his wife looked at them with more practical and unbelievable eyes, looking at the old man in front of them when they were in the weir city, they could even be said to be deliberately stammering!
They really didn't expect that this kind and friendly old man would have a son who was the mayor of Yandu City!
At the dinner table, after Ouyang Yu's explanation, he fell into a suffocating silence in an instant......
Until Xie Junyi and the others came back, everyone still couldn't believe that the person who was carrying the table with Xie Junyi and them without the slightest shelf turned out to be the mayor of a city and the second-in-command of a provincial city!
This unreal feeling was not slightly alleviated until Pang Zhifei put together the table and took a stool to sit down!
"That...... That one...... Pang Lao ...... Mr. Pang, do you want to ...... Why don't we go out to eat......? I really don't have any preparations......" Xia Zhengwen suddenly faced a high-ranking official at the deputy ministerial level, suddenly lost his square inch, and stammered!
"No, no, Brother Xia, when we weren't in Yandu City, we had already said that we would come to your house, and you must let your younger brothers and sisters cook and get a few small fried wine?"
"That's it, Mr. Xia doesn't have to bother! The food outside is as delicious as home-made!" Ouyang Yu also persuaded on the side!
Qin Xiaotian asked his father to sit down and said, "Dad, don't be too polite, you're not an outsider, it's okay!"
Pang Chengde was overjoyed by his sentence of "not an outsider", and took advantage of this opportunity to take out a large stack of red envelopes from his body with a smile.
After seeing Pang Chengde's actions, Ouyang Yu, who came to his senses, secretly scolded himself for being "confused", and quickly took out the red envelopes from his body and sent them one by one!
After the two rounds of bulging red envelopes were handed out, the atmosphere at the dinner table was finally no longer so awkward.
In addition, Xia Zhengwen and his wife, who have dealt with them to some extent, and are landlords, Ouyang Yu and they have no shelf, so after greeting them a few times, the dinner table gradually became lively.
It's just that the relatives of the Xia family, when they look at Qin Xiaotian again, they are no longer as indifferent as they were at the beginning!
They all know that they can let a senior deputy ministerial-level official and the chairman of Tianyu Group come here with their families, and there is no slightest, all of this is to see whose face!
Li Le, who was on the side, had already thrown the so-called pride and contempt for his cousin in his heart out of the clouds at this time, and tried to get close to Qin Xiaotian diligently.
It's just that what makes him crazy is that Qin Xiaotian's attitude towards him is no longer as affectionate as when he first came, and he has always been lukewarm and perfunctory!
He himself knows the crux of the problem, at this time he already has regret in his heart, his intestines are blue, if he knows that his cousin is so deeply hidden, he still has a fart shelf!
It's just that the knot already exists, and it's not so easy to untie it!
"Fortunately, my cousin is very affectionate to my parents, and it seems that I will often let my parents and them come to my aunt's house in the future!" Li Le secretly made up his mind in his heart, with his cousin being so rough and such a big backer, where did he still use to follow the steps like others and work hard for qualifications!
Thinking that he would be promoted and make a fortune in the future, it would all depend on his cousin, Li Le's smile suddenly became a little more, and even with those poor relatives who were originally disdainful, he also became extremely affectionate.
After these episodes, the atmosphere at the dinner table finally became extremely harmonious, starting at eleven o'clock in the afternoon and continuing until half past one in the afternoon, the meal was over!
Originally, the arrival of Ouyang Yu, Pang Chengde and others had already made Xia Zhengwen and his wife and their relatives on both sides feel incredible and shocked!
But in the afternoon, they really saw how terrifying Qin Xiaotian's influence was!
Ji Hongzhi, a senior political and legal official of Yandu City, Lu Weimin, captain of the Public Security Brigade of Yandu City Public Security Bureau, Feng Guoliang, director of the Tianning District Public Security Bureau, Zhu Tianming, deputy director of the Tianning District Public Security Bureau, and representatives of the Ma family and the Huang family, Yandu City, small and black and white, from all walks of life, formed a luxurious lineup, and they came to Qin Xiaotian's house on the afternoon of the third day of the new year to greet him!
Mr. and Mrs. Xia Zhengwen and all their relatives, including their neighbors, were shocked by this huge procession of New Year's greetings!
Outside their yard, there were at least forty people, almost all of whom could drive a huge convoy of luxury car shows, completely blocking the already narrow road outside!
The identity of these people made Xia Zhengwen and his wife and the relatives on both sides look sluggish on the side, and they just received those people while saying festive New Year's greetings, and the red envelopes handed over were numb!
The hot scene caused by the adopted son of the Xia family quickly spread in this old community, and almost everyone knew the news that the adopted son of the Xia family was born, and when Xia Zhengwen and his wife walked on the street, the envy in the eyes of those neighbors could directly melt them.
This is a terrifying flow of New Year's greetings, and in the evening, it finally becomes sparse.
Qin Xiaotian and the others were also tired and half dead, they didn't expect that there would be so many people, they chose to come to pay New Year's greetings today, thinking about the scene that the courtyard was full of people this afternoon, and it was difficult to even turn around, Rao is Qin Xiaotian also felt his scalp tingle!
"Dad, Mom, thank you for your hard work!" Looking at Xia Zhengwen and his wife who were cleaning up the house, Qin Xiaotian said apologetically.
"You kid, let's ...... Let's say what you ......" his son came out and made himself face in front of his relatives and neighbors, Xia Zhengwen and his wife were naturally happy!
However, after thinking of the grand occasion in the afternoon, they also said with palpitations: "Xiaotian, those friends of yours are going to come to pay New Year's greetings in the future, don't let them come over in a swarm! Our family is so big, so can accommodate so many people!"
"I know my parents, I'll pay attention to it in the future!"
It is not easy for Qin Xiaotian's second uncle and third uncle to come to Yandu City, so he plans to stay here for a few days.
Li Xueguang's family, who originally planned to leave after dinner, also stayed at Xia's house at Li Le's strong request.
Fortunately, Ouyang Yu and Pang Chengde had already left after dinner, otherwise it would be a problem just how to live tonight!
