Chapter 35 The Mayor's Family Celebrates the New Year (Breaking 300 Plus Updates for Relatives Readers)
There is a Hong Kong Island TV series on TV, the actors all wear Chow Yun-fat-style big back hair, and the actresses have all kinds of big curly hair and explosive heads. Jia Lei listened to the neighbors discussing the plot and discussing which clothes were good-looking, Jia Lei pouted and rolled his eyes.
At this time, the plot of the TV series was a hundred times better than that of later generations, but the clothes of the actors and actresses in it were very dirty, the actors were all smeared with half a bottle of mousse on their heads, and the actresses' big shoulder pads were about to fly. Fortunately, the actresses' faces at this time are really beautiful, and all of them are naturally beautiful.
There are many kinds of beautiful styles, each with its own characteristics.
Jia Lei vaguely saw several famous faces in the future, and Guan Zhilin was actually inside!
Guan Da Beauty's face was beautiful when she was young, and she really had nothing to say, but she didn't know why she played a bad woman in which TV series.
Although Jia Lei felt that the people on TV were dressed to death, this kind of dress was the most fashionable in Mingzhu City at that time. Only Hong Kong people with Home Return Permits have such foreign clothes, or people with overseas connections can use foreign exchange coupons to buy clothes from Hong Kong Island.
"Drop, drop!" suddenly heard the sound of a car horn outside, and Jia Lei opened the window to see that it was actually a familiar car.
Jia Lei then remembered that today he had to go to the mayor's godfather's house for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. It was still Secretary Lu Xiangluo who came, and Jia Lei asked him to wait in the house to go back to the house to change into a new set of clothes.
Jia Lei got dressed and hurriedly sat in the car, and Grandma Zhou suddenly picked up something and ran up from behind to stuff a bag into his arms.
"Look at the boy who has lost all the gifts he has prepared in the house. Grandma Zhou said slightly apologetically.
Before Jia Lei could react to what he said, the car drove away. Jia Lei secretly opened the bag on the road and took a look, and found that it contained canned snacks, wine and other commonly used gifts for visitors.
The tears in Jia Lei's heart flowed heavily, although there was only one bottle of wine, he was reluctant to use Feitian Moutai Liquor. Fortunately, Grandma Zhou was measured and didn't bring the Feitian Moutai offered in front of Jia Aiguo's offering table, otherwise he would not have shed tears but bled in his heart.
It's not wine, it's money!
In 30 years, things worth hundreds of thousands or even millions will be drunk as ordinary wine today, Jia Lei can't wait to smoke it, maybe this wine won't have to be given away.
In the end, Jia Lei struggled to choose the mayor's godfather between the mayor's godfather who is now in charge and the sky-high price of Moutai 30 years later.
After all, the money can be earned again, and if the godfather runs away, he can't chase it back!
30 years later, I don't know how many people are crying and shouting, thinking in their dreams that they all want to have a mayor's godfather. Now that Jin Thigh was sent to the door by himself for Jia Lei to hug, he had to hug it with all his strength.
****
Soon, the car drove into the family courtyard of the city government and stopped in front of a particularly magnificent small western-style building. Jia Lei couldn't help but sigh for the hundredth time the current traffic conditions, smooth like the shampoo in the advertisement.
Bicycles are flying all over the street, and the poor ones with few cars are forced by the bicycle army to shrink in the middle two lanes like an angry little daughter-in-law, and even the traffic lights at the intersection are pitiful.
Jia Lei rubbed his face fiercely and tried his best to look like a child, and he was particularly shameless as he looked at the future actress and now cute, squeezing out a dimple vigorously.
It was Jia Lei, the nanny at home, who came to open the door, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Zhao was waiting in the living room. Because today is Mayor Xiaonian, there are many guests from his family, and Mayor Jiang's own three sons and two daughters have also brought their families over.
Mayor Zhao is only forty-five years old, and he has four grandchildren, and even three grandchildren. In the past, people got married really early, and they had children before the age of twenty. Nine-year-old Wang Dingai, the only granddaughter of Mayor Zhao's family, and her cousin Youwu Yu stood hand in hand.
One of the two little girls is dressed as gorgeous as a princess, and the other is as white as an angel, and the different painting styles are similar, and their looks bring Jia Lei a double crit!
For the first time, Jia Lei had the feeling that he was the male protagonist of the reborn text, and the daughters and sisters of the official family spent all at once.
Proper stallion - wrong! Is it the standard configuration of the harem of the male protagonist of Shuangwen!
"Speechless, Ding Ai, you two call uncle and uncle. This is your grandfather's godson. Mrs. Zhao beckoned to her sisters.
"Uncle" and "Uncle" The two sisters called crisply.
Jia Lei, surprised!
Woo woo!
"Uncle, uncle," Jia Lei repeated dryly.
In just one minute, Jia Lei experienced a series of ups and downs of heartbeat, joy, surprise and sorrow.
"Yes, although you are the same age as our family Ding Ai, but you are my godson and Lao Zhao, naturally they are their elders, in fact, this situation is quite common in ordinary people, eight-year-old uncle and twenty-year-old nephew, haven't you seen this? My little girl is less than twenty. Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.
"I've seen it!" Jia Lei thought for a while, and Sanni said. In the era when there was no family planning, it was very common for mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to confinement together, and in the fifties and sixties, people got married at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
In what year was the legal age of marriage promulgated?
Jia Lei is no longer entangled in seniority, he directly took out a few pieces of toffee and handed them to the two little girls as a meeting gift.
"Remember, you can only eat one candy a day! or your teeth will go bad." Mrs. Zhao said, the two little beauties didn't reply, laughed at each other and ran away hand in hand.
At this time, Mayor Zhao came over after sending off the other guests, and he led Jia Lei to sit down on the sofa, and Jia Lei put the bag containing the gift on the coffee table in a restrained manner.
It was clear what the bag contained in its mouth, and Mayor Zhao frowned.
"Jia Lei, we are all a family, what gifts do you bring with you to dinner? Why do you buy these things without earning money for a child? It's too wasteful, I have never lacked these things. Mayor Zhao said. (In the early nineties, it was legal to give New Year's gifts, as long as it did not exceed 3,000 yuan.) )
In the early nineties, every three major festivals were a good opportunity to give gifts to the boss, and the old father-in-law's house in the countryside was to give gifts, otherwise the world would be regarded as a person who had no rules and did not understand the rules.
At this time, the godfather's family has to prepare a small warehouse to put the gifts sent from various places.
"Godfather, I didn't get it! It was my father's wife who helped me prepare it, and the old man said that he couldn't come to the door empty-handed for the first time. That would be rude!" Jia Lei explained with a red face.
"The old man is right, it is very important to know the etiquette! I will accept it this time, and I will not take it as an example. Mayor Zhao said.
He even took out the same thing and looked at it, knowing that sometimes giving the wrong gift is worse than not giving it.
"Sweets, canned food, snacks and wine, these are very good! They are all common gifts, no matter what the occasion is, you can't go wrong! There are special cases where you can add one or two other things according to your personal preference. These things were originally taught to you by your father, but now that he is gone, you can only be taught by your godfather. Mayor Zhao said with emotion.
"Why didn't you send fruit this time?" asked the godfather.
"Didn't the city just send out benefits a few days ago, and I also received two boxes of fruit, Grandma Zhou thinks that you may not be short of fruits, so you didn't put it. Jia Lei thought about it and said.
"That's right! We are not outsiders, don't get these flowers, but since you know that I am not short of fruits, you should also know that I am not short of Moutai. Wasn't it just a benefit yesterday, but there were two bottles of Moutai in it. You and mine are the same, why do you go out and buy a bottle and send it over. Mayor Zhao said.
"What benefits? I haven't seen them?" Jia Lei was confused by the benefits that suddenly appeared.
"Haven't seen it?!" Mayor Zhao was slightly stunned when he heard this!
"Maybe my subordinates were too busy and forgot to send it, so you can take it back when you go back later. Mayor Zhao instructed him, and Jia Lei nodded.
"This Moutai is not bad, isn't it cheap?" Mayor Zhao picked up the Moutai given by Jia Lei and asked off the topic.
"It's not even a hundred yuan, and it's enough for me to sell tea eggs for half a day in the square of the railway station. It is said that I couldn't buy it a few years ago, and at that time I had to use foreign exchange rolls to buy Moutai. Jia Lei said excitedly.
Mayor Zhao nodded, he heard about Jia Lei selling tea eggs at the train station, and he also heard about Jia Lei being in distress at the train station.
He will not object to Jia Lei's self-reliance, because the children of the poor are in charge of their families at an early age! Children like Jia Lei, who have no parents, must also go through the ups and downs early in order to grow up strongly.
But—
There are some things that still need to be taken care of!
