After coming out of Zhou Zuliang's house, Xiong Baizhou stood on the side of the road and smoked a cigarette silently, and his mood was very stable when he returned home.

"Why did it take so long?"

Li Juan hurriedly set up the dishes and chopsticks and beckoned everyone to eat.

"Say a few more words. ”

Xiong Baizhou replied with a smile and sat down calmly on the table.

Xiong Zhengjun and Li Juan are naturally in the host seat, the guest of honor is Liu Daxiang's parents, and then Xiong Baizhou, Wang Forsythia is next to him, and everyone else is not very particular about sitting down at will.

"Did you go to the village party secretary's house just now?" asked Wang Lianqiao in a low voice.

"Hmm. ”

Xiong Baizhou nodded in acknowledgement.

"Do you have a good relationship between the two families, he came all the way to pick you up, and you went to call him for dinner. ”

It is normal for forsythia to have such doubts, and this relationship is beyond the scope of normal neighbors.

Xiong Baizhou smiled calmly: "The power of the village party secretary in our northern countryside is relatively large, and it is necessary to maintain a good relationship. ”

"Oh. Wang Lianqiao's expression suddenly realized, and then said: "Actually, it's the same in Meishan." ”

If Xiong Baizhou wants to hide his thoughts in his heart, probably few people can see it, at least not in the house for now, especially when he teases Xiong Jiao from time to time, looking at home idleness.

Although Xiong Zhengjun and Li Juan are in the most noble position, the core figure is Xiong Baizhou, he shows a relaxed and soothing posture, the atmosphere on the table is very brisk, everyone eats the food on the table, discusses the shortcomings of the parents, and there are various dialects in the middle.

Wang Fengxiang and Sun Mingjun didn't expect that Xiong Baizhou, who was hugging in front of Yuecheng, also had the side of ordinary people, and their hearts narrowed a lot of distance.

Feeling the excitement that she hadn't seen for a long time, Li Juan's face was filled with a charitable smile.

Xiong Zhengjun's words have always been very few, on the one hand, he himself is not good at words, on the other hand, because of the sense of justice and values in his heart, Xiong Zhengjun very disagrees with his eldest son's practice of stepping on two boats.

Although it is impossible to dismantle the stage in person, it is impossible to treat Xiong Baizhou with an amiable attitude, and Wang Forsythia has been implicated.

Zhou Shujun is so good, since he was a child, he has been looking innocent, he will still be a college student in the future, he will be dignified and filial, the two families are still very close, and he can arrange marriage after graduating from college in a few years.

Xiong Zhengjun looked at Wang Lianqiao and sighed in his heart: "How do you know that there is a moth." ”

Wang Forsythia's appearance naturally didn't say, it was as beautiful as if it came out of a painting, but because it looked too enchanting, Xiong Zhengjun felt that it was not very down-to-earth.

For rural farmers like Xiong Zhengjun and Li Juan, the marriage of the eldest son not only means the prosperity and decline of a family, but also represents the most important thing in the second half of his life.

During the meal, Xiong Ping arranged the accommodation for the night by the way.

She and Wang Forsythia slept in one room, Wang Hollyhock and Wang Fengxiang slept in one room, Xu Fanliang and Sun Mingjun in one room, and Sheng Yuanqing and Chen Qingyun in one room.

During Chen Qingyun's time in Haizhou, he has been living in Xiong Baizhou's house.

Sheng Yuanqing was a little unhappy: "I'll just drive out and find a hotel." ”

If it had been put aside, Xiong Baizhou would not have had time to care about these little things, but today he must live here.

This is also a way for Xiong Ping to "wipe his ass" for Xiong Baizhou, everyone who lives here can provide a cover for Wang Forsythia, and Zhou Zuliang and Liang Zhimei will not find out the clues.

So Xiong Baizhou persuaded: "Yishan is a small place, except for the county government's guest house at night, there may not be any hotels, and it is more troublesome to open a room there." ”

Sheng Yuanqing didn't notice the twists and turns in this, and said with a big grin: "I don't believe that I can't open their door even if I have money." ”

Xiong Baizhou listened, glanced at Sheng Yuanqing, smiled and stopped talking.

"However, I don't think I've been chatting with Xiao Chen for a long time, so I'd better stay here. ”

In this world, the only person who can make Sheng Yuanqing change his decision immediately is Xiong Baizhou.

Liu Daxiang couldn't help laughing, Chen Qingyun couldn't get a fart for a long time, how could Sheng Yuanqing chat with him, he was obviously frightened by the big guy's glance.

Because of the relationship between Zhou Shujun and the "red dress farewell", Liu Daxiang saw this matter more clearly than Sheng Yuanqing, he was originally going to go home to sleep, and now he also applied to stay here to rest.

······

After eating, when the people in the room were chatting, relatives actually came to the house, and there were many waves.

Some relatives Xiong Baizhou even met for the first time, and when the family had no money in the past, no relatives came to the door.

However, this is the norm in the world, no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, Xiong Baizhou does not take care of these normal social laws, under the introduction of Xiong Zhengjun and Li Juan, he is very patient to greet each guest.

Relatives came to the door, naturally there was something, probably all of them heard that Xiong Baizhou, who had made a fortune outside, had returned home.

Now there are many rumors about Xiong Baizhou in Yishan County, some people say that he is already the richest man in Jiangdong Province, some people say that he has assets of more than 100 million, and of course there is also news that Xiong Baizhou has been arrested for committing crimes.

There are various versions, so relatives come to determine whether Xiong Baizhou has money or not, and secondly, they want to find the right opportunity for themselves or their children.

Some people who have not come to the door for many years still have the impression of a few loess adobe houses, but now they see the three-story small buildings rising from the ground, brand-new furniture and electrical appliances, mahogany furniture, and ruddy faces Xiong Jiao and Xiong Baize, so I feel that the rumors are still somewhat credible.

Xiong Zhengjun and Li Juan are both kind-hearted people, and they are also relatively honest, even if they understand the true intentions of these people in their hearts, they are still very polite.

They did a little bit very well, knowing that their son was very energetic now, so they didn't dare to agree to any conditions for Xiong Baizhou at will

Xiong Baizhou is also very polite, but unlike Xiong Zhengjun and Li Juan's sincerity, he is more of a kind of entertainment, but Xiong Baizhou's level is much higher, so even if some relatives' unreasonable requests are refused, they will not be resentful.

For example, some people want to follow Xiong Baizhou to Yuecheng, and some people borrow money to pay off debts.

Xiong Baizhou's three pillar enterprises, Zhou Mei, Aisheng and Liantong, will not deliberately recruit employees who are related to their relatives, and if they are really capable, they can apply through formal channels.

However, Xiong Baizhou did not refuse directly at first, but first asked his relatives for their requests, and then offered another option according to their requirements.

For example, if they want to work to make money, Xiong Baizhou will take out a position in a pirated disc factory, and even find a relationship to arrange for them to work as a worker in a chemical factory in Haizhou.

As for the relatives who borrowed money, except for serious illness and children going to school, Xiong Baizhou directly refused whether it was a lack of money to build a house or not enough gift money.

Xiong Baizhou's handling of these things is not only humane, but also very principled, and the truth of "saving the emergency but not the poor" is also carried out to the end, which is not only the proverb left by the ancestors, but also Xiong Baizhou's own personal experience.

Most of the relatives can express understanding, but some are very persistent, and the feelings are very unusual.

Xiong Baizhou's aunt Xiong Dongna pushed her son directly in front of Xiong Baizhou: "Let's not talk about the relationship between me and your father's sister and brother, let's just talk about the cycle of cause and effect and the retribution of favor." ”

"Back then, Xiong Jiao fell into a pond more than two meters deep, and your cousin jumped in to save people without saying a word. ”

"In 1989, there was a drought across the country, and the grain in the whole village was extinct, and only Zhou Zhishu and us were the only ones who helped your family. ”

"Xiong Baizhou, let me ask you, can you help him?"

My aunt, who was older than her father Xiong Zhengjun, was looking at Xiong Baizhou with a serious face.

"Help!"

Xiong Baizhou didn't have a bit of nonsense: "Cousin, tell me what you want to do?"

Seeing that Xiong Baizhou responded without hesitation, Xiong Dongna's face slowly eased.

"Sister, don't worry. ”

Xiong Zhengjun handed a glass of water to his old sister.

"Bai Zhou, let me tell you why. Xiong Dongna felt that the emotions just now were a little too excited.

Xiong Baizhou smiled and waved his hand: "The reason doesn't matter, it depends on where my cousin wants to stay." ”

"If you stay in Yishan, you will enter the electronics factory, and if you want to go to Haizhou, you will enter a state-owned enterprise, and I can make proper arrangements when I return to Yuecheng. Xiong Baizhou gave three options.

"Go to Yuecheng!"

Xiong Dongna made a decision for her son first.

Chen Xiang's face was a little hesitant, and he wanted to say something and swallowed it again.

Xiong Baizhou nodded: "Yuecheng is easy to do, the deputy director of the office of the state-owned enterprise radio factory, he doesn't do anything every day, just has a regular meeting, and his monthly salary is 2000." ”

2,000 yuan is several times Chen Xiang's current income, but Xiong Dongna shook her head: "General positions are fine, his ability is not good, so he doesn't need to be so high." ”

Xiong Baizhou thought for a while: "Then go to a high-tech development zone in Guangdong to be a security supervisor, 1,500 yuan a month, and you can sign in every day." ”

Xiong Dongna was actually not so greedy, but was worried that it would affect Xiong Baizhou, and lowered her requirements again: "Baizhou, don't you open a company in Yuecheng, let him help you manage the accounts or be a salesman, he can be trusted." ”

Xiong Baizhou laughed twice: "My salesman has at least a bachelor's degree, and some positions also need to be able to speak English and simple computer operation." ”

Xiong Dongna was stunned twice, how can a state-owned enterprise be placed in a leadership position casually, but it is not possible to be a salesman in a private enterprise.

At this time, Chen Xiang finally spoke by himself: "I don't want to go to Yuecheng, I'm just in Yishan." ”

Xiong Dongna was anxious all of a sudden, turned around and scolded: "Reluctant to make a new girlfriend, don't you go to Yuecheng to make money, can you give her the bride price?"

The bride price in the northern countryside has always been relatively high, on the contrary, the bride in eastern Guangdong is only symbolically demanding, and even some families do not want the bride price directly.

Next, Xiong Baizhou's aunt directly counted Chen Xiang in public, Xiong Zhengjun and Li Juan interjected from time to time, and other relatives slowly joined in.

Other people's family gossip is always fascinating, and even Forsythia Wang is fascinated by it.

Xiong Baizhou smiled, and just wanted to take out a cigarette, when he suddenly saw his little brother Xiong Baize and other children, his eyes occasionally swept to him, and he sighed in his heart and put it away again.

Unconsciously, I am also someone else's idol, and I must always set an example.

It's just that this honest and peaceful cousin is suffering, in the face of the number of so many people and "care", the honest man also has three points of mud, and said with a red face: "It's not that I don't want to go to Yuecheng, as the saying goes, relatives are far away from honey, and friends are close to fragrance." ”

"I don't understand anything, going to Yuecheng is also to add chaos to Baizhou, I can have a stable job at home, and my relationship with Baizhou's cousins can be maintained for a lifetime. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, and Xiong Dongna immediately reprimanded: "You also know that your relatives are far away, I think you are reluctant to be a woman." ”

Chen Xiang finally "hardened" a sentence, and immediately lowered his head in his mother's words, blushing and not squeaking.

Xiong Baizhou was quite touched by it, his cousin still has a bit of wisdom and foolishness, but he is not confident enough under the influence of his strong mother, which is also a common problem of many rural teenagers.

"Then let's go to the electronics factory. Xiong Baizhou said suddenly: "Assist my sister to take a good look at the electronics factory, not only has a daughter-in-law, but also has a greater future." ”

"Good!"

Chen Xiang immediately responded: "Thank you Bai Zhou, and thank you Ah Ping." ”

Xiong Ping didn't expect that she was also thanked, and quickly shook her head: "Brother Xiang, what do you thank me for, I can't make a decision." ”

Chen Xiang smiled simply: "I want to thank you, and I want to thank you." ”

Xiong Baizhou thought to himself that this cousin really had some way, and he was not a layman.

Xiong Baizhou said so, even if Xiong Dongna had the heart, she couldn't say anything, so she could only blame her son for having shallow eye sockets.

After a while, all the relatives at home were gone, and Li Juan also urged everyone to rest early.

Because of the difference in temperature between the north and the south, the living habits are also different.

The weather in Haizhou is cold and the temperature is low, so it is more comfortable to drill the quilt early in winter, and even if you take a bath in Yuecheng, you can be called out for supper with a phone call.

The next morning, when the sky was still bright, Xiong Baizhou went to wake up Wang Forsythia.

"Wake up, I'm going to the city for a meeting today. ”

"Huh?"

Wang Lianqiao rubbed his eyes: "I talked to your sister for a long time last night, and I didn't sleep well, so you can go to the meeting by yourself." ”

Wang Lianqiao wanted to lie in bed again, Xiong Baizhou pointed downstairs: "My mother has made all the food······

Xiong Baizhou didn't finish speaking, Wang Lianqiao had already turned up the quilt and dressed: "Why did Auntie wake up so early, I still want to make breakfast for her old man." ”

"Next time, next time. ”

Xiong Baizhou didn't want to say that Wang Meiren barely got up before 8 o'clock, and Li Juan woke up naturally at 6 o'clock every day.

Today, Xiong Baizhou is going to participate in the entrepreneur activities in Haizhou City, which is Chen Zheng's urgent invitation, and this face still has to be given.

Wang Forsythia can't be left here, otherwise sooner or later she will see that way, so she will simply take her official activities directly with her and act as a secretary.

Wang Meiren's appearance as a secretary can probably contrast Xiong Baizhou's name as "the richest man in Haizhou".

After breakfast, it was still dark, but Xu Fanliang had already prepared the car, and the warm air conditioner was also turned on.

Xiong Baizhou sighed in his heart, thinking that his fine guy was a little worse than Xiao Xu's professionalism.

"Do you know how to drive?" asked Xiong Baizhou.

At first glance, it seems to be asking Xu Fanliang if he remembers the road, but in fact, there is a deeper level of consideration.

"Don't turn on the lights, lest you disturb the old people in the village. Xu Fanliang replied expressionlessly.

What a striking young man.

Xiong Baizhou didn't ask any more, and waited until Wang Lianqiao got into the car together.

When passing by the village entrance police station, Xiong Baizhou suddenly stopped, took out a red envelope from his briefcase and said to Xu Fanliang: "Take out 6 pieces of China from the back compartment, and then give this to the leader of the police station. ”

The police station at the entrance of the village was specially set up by the Yishan County Party Committee and the town, ostensibly for the purpose of increasing public order and maintaining stability, and secondly, an important task was to protect Xiong Baizhou's family.

Xiong Baizhou's thoughtfulness in dealing with the world will naturally be expressed, even though it is an order from their superiors.
