On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, early in the morning, Liao Zexi, Xu Wenqing, Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao took a car back to the countryside.

From the twentieth day of the lunar month, there are guests to visit the house every night, the Spring Festival is coming soon, people come to the house to pay New Year's greetings, this is nothing, the guests who come to send gifts such as tobacco and alcohol, all soft Chinese cigarettes and Moutai wine, Wuliangye, Liao Zexi can not completely refuse, people come to visit the New Year are representative units, the words are very humble, and the leaders of these municipal units go to the homes of other municipal party committee and municipal government leaders to visit the New Year, which is also done, if Liao Zexi refuses, It will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of other leaders of the municipal party committee and government.

But there is one thing that Liao Zexi absolutely prohibits, that is, he is not allowed to send money.

There is a etiquette of giving red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, and the heads of these municipal units will send red envelopes to Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao, and the red envelopes are generally 1,000 yuan, which is not easy to refuse.

Liao Zexi had no choice, and finally decided to return to the countryside in advance.

Xu Wenqing is also fully supportive, looking at so many red envelopes, Xu Wenqing is also worried.

Liao Fanmin knows very well that the red envelopes are really nothing, and the accumulation is tens of thousands of yuan, and this is a common practice, what is really powerful is the transfer of those interests, often hundreds of thousands of millions, and this kind of transfer of interests has led to corruption and erosion of the interests of the country.

Because I had to take a lot of New Year's goods home, the city government office sent an imported medium-sized van, which was spacious and able to carry a lot of things.

Just an hour later, the medium-sized van was parked outside the school.

Liao Tiangui, Liao Zetian, Liao Zebing and others were already waiting outside the school, and after the van stopped, they came up, Liao Tiangui patted Liao Zexi's shoulder vigorously, with a smile on his face, while Liao Zetian and Liao Zebing helped move things.

"Brother, it's the first time I've seen my grandfather come here to greet me."

Liao Fanmin looked at Liao Fanyao and didn't speak, he couldn't answer this question.

I had just returned home, and before I could fully sit down, the secretary and mayor of Red Earth Town came to visit.

Liao Fanmin looked at the secretary and mayor of Hongtu Town with a humble smile on their faces, and was really a little speechless, these two people obviously inquired clearly and waited nearby, otherwise the time would not be so accurate.

Liao Zexi and the two went into the house to sit.

The smell of bacon was already wafting from the kitchen, it was still early, and there was still a while to eat.

Liao Fanmin didn't want to sit stupidly in the hall, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall, Liao Fanyao also stood up and followed behind, Liao Zetian, who had already put things away, saw the two of them walking towards the outside of the hall, and hurriedly whispered a word to Liao Zetian beside him, and raised his heels.

"Xiaomin, Yaoyao, it's still early, I'll take you around to take a look."

Liao Fanmin nodded.

When the group was about to walk towards the field, Liao Zetian's children ran over, and they ran straight to Liao Fanyao, I don't know why, they just like to stick to Liao Fanyao, it's been a year, and the two little guys still remember Liao Fanyao.

The second sister-in-law and sister-in-law are both helping to cook in the kitchen.

Liao Fanyao took the two little guys and walked in front, and Liao Fanmin and Liao Zebing walked behind.

In rural households, every family feeds dogs, and Liao Zebing not only walks with him, but also helps with the dogs.

Soon, Liao Zetian also followed, after all, a pair of children were wandering around the fields, and it would definitely not work for Liao Fanyao to greet the two little ones alone.

"Second uncle, uncle, how much bonus did the company pay at the end of the year."

Liao Zetian looked at Liao Zebing, with a smile on his face, and stretched out a slap.

"I gave a bonus of 50,000 yuan, and I couldn't believe it, when we went home a few days ago, we sat in the car and didn't dare to blink our eyes."

Liao Fanmin nodded slightly, faintly, he felt that Yang Mingze was showing favor in this way, after all, Liao Zetian and Liao Zebing had not been in the company for a long time, and it stands to reason that they would not be able to get so many bonuses.

"We're ready to renovate the house, and we're going to start construction at the beginning of the year."

When Liao Zetian said this, Liao Fanmin began to pay attention, and turned his head to look at the courtyard dam and the house.

It is still an earthen wall house, the outside is painted with lime, it is estimated that after the second uncle and the second uncle went home, they tried to repaint it with lime, and it still looks a little new, but looking around, there are already several newly built houses, there are three-storey, two-storey, and one-storey, all of which are brick houses, and some have been painted on the outside, and the walls are snow-white, very flat.

Observing the quality of the family conditions in the rural areas, you can see by looking at the houses that the concept of rural people is atypical, as long as they make money, the first thing is to repair the house, which house is a cement brick house, it indicates that the family is very rich, and can also raise their heads in the village, and get the envy of everyone.

"Second uncle, uncle, you are all doing things in the company, your grandparents are old, who will be responsible for repairing the house."

"Of course it's your grandfather."

Liao Fanmin nodded, he just saw his grandfather Liao Tiangui, his face was full of red light, his health was very good, and it should not be a big problem to build a house at home.

"What kind of house are you going to build?"

"The houses on the left and in the middle have all been pushed to rebuild, and two three-story houses have been built, and we have already calculated and posted, and 30,000 yuan per house is enough, including all the decorations."

Liao Fanmin groaned slightly.

"The construction area of each house is about 200 square meters, and the three floors are a total of 600 square meters.

"Of course, your grandfather is fully supportive, and the construction will start after the Chinese New Year."

Liao Fanmin can only smile bitterly, building a house like this, with a hint of showing off his wealth, but the countryside is like this, grandfather Liao Tiangui used to be the village party secretary, the eldest son Liao Zexi is now the executive deputy mayor, and the other two sons are all working in Nanhua City, or the company's management personnel, managing many people, such good conditions, if the built house is not magnificent, it is unreasonable.

Half an hour later, Liao Fanmin and his party went home.

The secretary and mayor of Red Earth Town had already left, and Liao Tiangui and Liao Zexi were sitting in the hall.

Seeing Liao Zetian and Liao Zebing entering the house, Liao Zexi waved his hand.

"Second child, old man, I heard that you are ready to build a house."

"Yes, eldest brother, the old man and I are ready to build a house, Dad's old house is temporarily retained, the other two houses, all pushed to rebuild, the yard dam will also be paved with cement, we are still thinking, see if we can expand the road from the school to the home, so that it is more spacious, and when the house is built in the future, the materials will be lucky. . . ."

Before Liao Zetian finished speaking, Liao Tiangui spoke.

"Just now, the secretary and mayor of Hongtu Town said that after going to work on the eighth day of the first month, they are ready to widen this road."

Liao Fanmin turned his head to look at his father Liao Zexi, and Liao Zexi didn't have much expression on his face.

Liao Zexi obviously did not object.

"Okay, that's the big problem."

Liao Zexi coughed and finally spoke again.

"Dad, the second, the oldest, I have no objection to the road construction, but when building a house, we must pay attention, never let the town party committee and town government intervene, do not want them to help, how much money to repair how big the house, not to allow the town to pay a penny, let alone they find any construction team, when building a house, it is best to sign a contract, three-story cement brick house, the quality requirements are very high, don't think about letting the people in the village help, or find a special construction team, the quality can be guaranteed, the construction period is faster, The second and youngest are doing things in Nanhua City, it is impossible to be at home, Dad is old, and he can't manage so many things alone... ”

"Boss, don't worry, I'm in good health, the second and youngest are doing things outside, they need to earn money, it's impossible to stay at home, I've already thought about it, let the second daughter-in-law and the people in the family of the eldest daughter-in-law come to help, do some small things, I will pay them a salary, so that they can help, and they can be called over."

"Dad, it's okay to arrange it this way, and there's no problem with your own family helping."

"Boss, don't worry, I will never take advantage of the public, you are now the leader of the municipal party committee, I want to pay more attention, in fact, the road from the school to home, the town can't get the money, I have long thought about building my own house, this time the town took the initiative to build, it is for the sake of your face, I know, in fact, this road should have been built a long time ago, the children in the school, many of them are passing through our yard dam to go home, a gray day on a sunny day, a muddy day on a rainy day, they can also see it...

"Dad, since the town has decided to repair it, don't say it."

"Second child, what kind of mouth, there is one thing I warn you, don't think about having a third child, this is against the policy, you will definitely implicate the boss in doing this, the boss is now the leader of the municipal party committee, if you violate the family planning policy and want to have a third child, how to deal with you in the village and town, how to look at the boss, you let, what the boss does, your daughter-in-law's mother's side, I will say, I will go in person this year, one to meet the in-laws, and the other is to ask your daughter-in-law's brother to come over to help."

。。。

Liao Fanmin looked at all this, did not speak, it turned out that the two leaders of Hongtu Town just came to talk about the road construction, this time was chosen accurately, in fact, when my father was the director of the municipal government office, he could have opened his mouth and asked Hongtu Town to build this road, but my father did not speak, which shows that my father is clean and self-conscious, pay attention to the impact.

A road reflects a lot of things.

Living in this world, no matter what, you must have the ability and strength, only when your own ability is strong, people will really respect you and admire you, in this regard, Liao Fanmin believes in his father Liao Zexi.

The second uncle Liao Zetian and the second uncle Liao Zebing are still simple, and they are not rich because they make money.

In such a situation, it is difficult for the family to buy a thousand dollars.
