In fact, the folk customs here in Shannan, at the engagement ceremony, the parents of both parties give each other's children a change of mouth fee, which is the standard of one or two thousand.

Gao Zixuan shouted: "Li Rui, open it and take a look, see how much your father-in-law has given you to change your mouth." Li Rui walked over with a smile, handed the envelope to Lu Qingman, and said, "Look at it yourself." ”

Gao Zixuan snatched it from Lu Qingman's hand and said, "Show me what to do to Sister Qingman? Do you think she will help you show it? She was also embarrassed, hum. After speaking, he took out the money in the envelope, counted it roughly, and said: "Four thousand yuan, good guy, it's really a lot, you make a small profit." ”

Li Rui was a little stunned and said, "Dad, why do you give me so much?" Lu Zhouxing explained: "I, who is my father-in-law, will give you 2,000, and then I will give you 2,000 for your deceased mother-in-law." It's not much, that's what it means. When Li Rui heard him mention his deceased wife, his heart was shocked, and he said respectfully: "When will I go to worship my mother-in-law?" Lu Zhouxing instructed: "When you get the certificate with Manman, our family will go to see her once." Li Rui was a little sad when he heard this, and when he thought of his mother again, his eyes turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to be seen by Lu Zhouxing.

Lu Zhouxing looked at this tall and big prospective son-in-law, and suddenly thought of his life experience, and his heart was shocked, how similar he was to his daughter's experience, both had a father and no mother, and even he was more pitiful than Manman, after all, his mother died in his childhood, and he didn't know how he survived all these years, but he was in his mind, character, In terms of talent and learning, he is not inferior to the children of his parents' families, although this has his own efforts, and it is also inseparable from his father's painstaking upbringing, and he has a strong curiosity about his father, wanting to see what kind of person has cultivated such a good talent. But don't worry, isn't this going to be a wedding soon, we'll always meet when the time comes.

Lu Zhouxing had a chat with Lu Qingman and Gao Zixuan for a while, and asked Gao Zixuan's father Gao Guotai and her uncle Gao Guosong about the current situation during this time, and then got up, called Li Rui up, and went to the second floor.

Yu Hongwei accompanied the two eldest ladies in the living room, his eyes sometimes swept over Lu Qingman's beautiful face, and said in his heart that Li Rui was really a blessing, just for the blessing of his marriage, he fell himself out of eight streets so far;

Gao Zixuan saw that Lu Qingman's face was flushed all the time, looking both shy and happy, and asked narrowly: "What are you stealing beauty? Just because Uncle Lu recognized your husband as a son-in-law, you are so happy?" Lu Qingman didn't say anything in front of Yu Hongwei, and said, "How happy, don't talk nonsense." Gao Zixuan smiled: "How happy, you go to look in the mirror, and it is almost written on your face, 'I, Lu Qingman, am so happy today, I finally married myself off', right?" Lu Qingman burst out laughing, took her hand and said, "Dead girl, it's really annoying." Gao Zixuan said: "What do you say your father is talking to your husband now?" Lu Qingman said: "How do I know." Gao Zixuan said: "Guess." Lu Qingman simply shook his head and said, "Don't guess." Gao Zixuan said with a smile: "I guess, your father is explaining to Li Rui, 'You hurry up and give me a grandson, I'm going to hug my grandson'." ”

These words made Lu Qingman blush, although her face has always been very red, but now it is even redder, both shy and annoyed, and she twisted it hard in Gao Zixuan's thigh, and said, "Shut your mouth, no one sells you as a dumb person." Gao Zixuan said: "Didn't you want to have a child earlier? still pretend to be garlic with me?" Lu Qingman talked to her about these words in private, which was not ashamed at all, wasn't it in front of Yu Hongwei today, but his face was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, so he got up and said, "Let's go, go to the bathroom." Gao Zixuan smiled and said, "What are you doing, you are angry and want to kill people? You go, I won't go, hehe." ”

Yu Hongwei looked at the second daughter and laughed, his face was also smiling, his eyes were always on Gao Zixuan's face, when he saw her lightly angry and angry, there were three points of charm in addition to seven points of beauty, it was really picturesque and colorful, and he was only intoxicated by it, and his eyes were almost unable to take it back when he stared at her pretty face.

At this moment, in the small living room on the second floor, Lu Zhouxing and Li Rui were having a conversation between Weng and his son-in-law.

Lu Zhouxing didn't ask the two more about the wedding preparations, they can handle this kind of trivial matter by themselves, not to mention that when she was downstairs just now, the girl of the Gao family also expressed her position, she helped manage this matter, so there was no need to worry about it;

He asked: "You Qingyang have been in chaos recently?" Li Rui didn't know what he was referring to, straightened out his clues, and answered one by one: "In Qingyang officialdom, there is some chaos on the surface, Zhang Wenlin, the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Feng Weidong, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, have been dismissed due to the problems of male and female styles, but these are just individual cases, in fact, under the leadership of Secretary Song and Mayor Sun, Qingyang officialdom is still very stable and calm. However, these two things also attracted the attention of Secretary Huang of the Provincial Party Committee, who also went to Qingyang Weifu for a private visit on the weekend. Lu Zhouxing raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, Lao Huang has secretly been to your Qingyang? I don't know." It seems that he still attaches great importance to Song Chaoyang, the favorite general. ”

Li Rui said cautiously: "Maybe it's because the recent changes of leaders in Qingyang City have been too frequent, so it feels like Qingyang is more chaotic." Lu Zhouxing said: "It's good to have chaos on the surface, but I'm afraid that the people below will not see it." He said this more vaguely, Li Rui did not understand it all, he felt that he was insinuating that someone in Qingyang officialdom was making trouble below, in fact, if no one made trouble, how could Zhang Wenlin and Feng Weidong fall one after another? Unfortunately, his old man didn't know that there might be someone else who killed Zhang Wenlin, but it was the son-in-law in front of him who killed Feng Weidong, and asked thoughtfully: "If you already know that someone is making trouble, then how can you stop him?" Lu Zhouxing smiled and said: "Yes, I look like a bit of my own family, and I know how to ask questions." ”

Li Rui laughed and said, "I will learn more from you in the future." Lu Zhouxing put away his smile and said: "Back to the question you just asked, we might as well analyze it, you said that someone is making trouble, so what is the purpose of his trouble? You have to find out what his purpose is first, and then prescribe the right medicine to solve the problem. The means can be both thunderbolts and thunderbolts, and it can be gentle wind and drizzle. At the same time, however, we must pay attention to politics and maintain unity in the overall situation. Li Rui listened to a little understanding, nodded again and again, and asked: "If you don't know who is making trouble, what should you do?"

Lu Zhouxing smiled schemingly and said, "That's not difficult, then let's determine who is making trouble first." Li Rui said: "But I don't know, how can I be sure?" Lu Zhouxing pointed to his head with his finger and said, "Use your brain." You can use the hypothetical method, the elimination method, and the comparative method......" Li Rui linked these words with the people in the Standing Committee of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee, and suddenly understood, as if he had opened a window and saw another world, and said: "I seem to understand something." Lu Zhouxing asked: "How did Song Chaoyang deal with this kind of chaos?" Li Rui said: "He is similar to what you said, the means are a little gentle and drizzly, and even compromise, it seems that the unity of the team is the first priority." Speaking of which, thinking that the boss was almost in danger again because of the executive deputy mayor Jia Yulong's package to raise a sunny person, I couldn't help but sigh, the boss wants to maintain the unity of the team, but why do people always pay attention to maintaining unity?

Lu Zhouxing asked, "What do you think of sighing?" Li Rui's heart jumped, but he didn't dare to hide it, and said: "I thought of one thing, and I thought that Secretary Song was actually quite difficult, so I couldn't help but sigh." Lu Zhouxing smiled: "Let's hear it." Li Rui told the truth about Chen Xinxin running to the municipal party committee building to make a fuss and complaining to Song Chaoyang about Jia Yulong, and finally asked cautiously: "Like this case, is it right for Secretary Song to do this?" Lu Zhouxing was not angry when he heard this, he pondered for a moment, and said: "According to his current situation, this is the most correct way to do this." Li Rui hurriedly asked: "But if Mayor Jia has an incident in the future, won't the leaders of the provincial party committee also hold him accountable for not reporting what he knows?" Lu Zhouxing said: "If he is a politically mature person, then he must have left a way out for this." ”

Li Rui asked suspiciously, "What is the way out?" Lu Zhouxing said: "Didn't he mention it to you?" Li Rui shook his head. Lu Zhouxing said: "Maybe he already has an idea, but he hasn't put it into practice yet." I'm here to test you, if you were replaced by him, what would you do if you encountered this kind of thing?" Li Rui was stunned for a moment and said, "I...... I may not have the courage to help Mayor Jia carry this matter......" Lu Zhouxing intercepted: "I have to carry it!" Li Rui thought for a while and said: "If you consider the responsibilities that may be implicated in the future, I think I will report this matter to the provincial leaders, and it can be regarded as sharing the responsibility and taking precautions." Lu Zhouxing nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have grown a lot recently, at least my horizons have been much broader......
