Chapter 123: Village Banquet
"Uncle Zhang, I'm here to pay you a farewell to your early years!"
A man with a height of less than 1.7 meters knocked on the door frame of Zhang Wei's house and walked in, carrying several gift boxes in his hand, most of which were middle-aged and elderly health care products. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ouch, it's Xiaodong? Come on, come on, sit, I said that you rarely come back, why don't you accompany your parents, come to us, come on, what gifts do you bring? Zhang Aiguo greeted him very politely, early in the morning, when the village chief's son came back, almost the whole village went to watch, and I heard that the village chief would invite the town mayor to come over for dinner at night, and the face was really big enough.
Not to mention anything else, the people in the village came back in a car, and the people in the village never saw it again, and they also watched it on TV, and they knew what the brand of the four circles was -- only the village chief's family had a car to drive back for the New Year.
"It's not polite, it's as it should be, you should sit down and eat first, leave me alone." Cao Xiaodong was very polite and smiled, "I remember when I was a child, Uncle Zhang taught me to fish!" ”
As the saying goes, there is nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, since the son of the village chief was admitted to the undergraduate, he has never looked at Zhang Wei's parents with his eyes, let alone talked, he came over so early this morning, and he was courteous in his early years and gave gifts, which made Zhang Wei's father inexplicable.
"Hey, it's hard for you to remember the little things so many years ago, when you were young, our village belonged to our family Zhang Wei was the skinniest, we mentioned you just now, guess what Xiaowei said? He said he beat you up when he was in junior high school, but I didn't even know about it. Zhang Aiguo grabbed a large handful of peanuts from the cabinet and handed them to Cao Xiaodong, who respectfully accepted them and put them in his pocket.
"How can you say that you hit me? That's the spur of love! Cao Xiaodong accompanied the smiling face: "For so many years, I have always kept in mind Brother Zhang's spur to me, and always be vigilant to myself, so that I can continue to improve, and I have mixed up with this little person now." ”
Now even Zhang Wei's mother heard the smell - what's wrong with the son of the village chief Cao's family? The sycophants are so explicit, why?
Their Zhang family is the poorest in the entire Guangcheng Township, the husband and wife are ordinary farmers, or farmers who can't do work, and their son is a wage earner, and there is nothing worthy of being patted by others.
Look at it, being beaten is said to be a "spur of love", but he is obviously two years older than Zhang Weiwei but is called Zhang Wei "brother", this sycophant is obviously going to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei was eating noodles by himself, since Cao Xiaodong entered the door, he had noticed that this kid had been peeking at himself, looking at his unconcealed excitement, did he know himself?
Zhang Wei, who finished eating noodles, stood up and wiped his mouth, and Cao Xiaodong also bounced up from the stool, and went over to put away Zhang Wei's dishes and chopsticks with a smile: "I'm here, Brother Zhang has a rare trip, it's time to relax!" ”
With such a dog's leg, Zhang Wei is sure that this guy has asked for something today.
Helping Zhang Wei put away the dishes and chopsticks, Cao Xiaodong came out of the kitchen, saw Bai Ze squatting at the door, and praised Zhang Wei's "cat" as if there was nothing in the sky and on the ground.
Although he was telling the truth, Zhang Wei really couldn't bear it, he was too numb: "Cao Xiaodong, if there is anything, you can say it directly." ”
"Ahaha, Brother Zhang just call me Xiao Dongzi, I don't have anything to do, I just came to see my uncle and aunt." Cao Xiaodong accompanied the smiling face, and then lowered his voice and said: "Little brother, I have been in Deep Blue City for more than half a year, and I didn't even know that Brother Zhang was also there, it was really rude not to visit, tonight my father set up a banquet, and invited Brother Zhang to have a light meal, count me as making amends to you!" ”
"......" Zhang Wei looked at him speechlessly, this guy is too familiar, right? Since Zhang Wei beat him, the two have never spoken again, which one is this singing today?
"Brother Zhang and Secretary Wu's friendship, the younger brother is incompetent, his ears and eyes are closed, and he only learned recently, I originally thought that the 'seafood king' named Zhang Wei in Shenlan City had another person, but later I heard that Zhang Wei and Secretary Wu are both from Jin Yu City, southern Anhui Province, isn't this a coincidence?" Cao Xiaodong smiled and whispered: "Later, I saw a photo of you shaking hands with Secretary Wu by chance, and I recognized it at that time, although it was much more handsome than when I was in junior high school, but I still remember the outline of my facial features, isn't that my Brother Zhang?" When I saw it today, I was right! ”
Zhang Wei understood, this guy was admitted to the civil servant of the Deep Blue City Government more than half a year ago, and recently suddenly learned that there is a fellow villager like him who is close to the city secretary, and he is also a billionaire, how can he not be excited?
What's the point of taking a greasy fart? In his own words, this is called high enlightenment.
He is so unfamiliar with Zhang Wei that he doesn't know that Zhang Wei has gained so much weight in the past few years, he only remembers that Zhang Wei looked when he was in junior high school and didn't gain weight, which is really similar to now.
"So you're here to invite me to dinner?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile, originally he didn't want to agree, he was going to take his parents to Deep Blue City after the New Year, and it is estimated that he will not come back for a long time, but after thinking about it, he came back to give his parents a good luck, how many people have they suffered over the years? Tonight's banquet is a "big man" in the village and town, Zhang Wei's parents usually lower their heads and dare not look directly when they meet these people, and tonight they want to let the second elder raise their eyebrows and exhale a little!
They're leaving, so there's no need to keep a low profile.
"Just leave me alone?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile.
"Oops!" Cao Xiaodong slapped his mouth a few times: "Look at my stupid mouth, of course I invite Brother Zhang to go with your uncle and aunt, and please be sure to come with your face!" ”
After seeing Zhang Wei nodding in agreement, Cao Xiaodong's face was overjoyed and he said goodbye.
…………
In the evening, Cao Xiaodong came again, still driving his Audi - just such a little way, he also had to be a driver, and personally took Zhang Wei's family to the banquet.
The village chief's family has the best house in the village, a three-story single-family western-style building, and a large yard with a big wolf dog in the yard.
At this time, several cars had been parked in the courtyard, and they should have been from the town.
"Oops, little ...... Mr. Zhang can come to the banquet, which really makes the humble house shine! When Village Chief Cao saw Zhang Wei's family get out of the car, he greeted him from afar.
He almost shouted "Xiaowei", but he didn't dare to hold it up, so he changed his voice to "Mr. Zhang", because he really didn't know what was more suitable to be called, and he couldn't call Zhang Wei "Brother Zhang" like his son, right?
The other guests felt inexplicable about the village chief's behavior, except for those from the town, the rich families in the village knew the situation of Zhang Wei's family well, was the old village chief confused, and invited such a poor ghost to come?
Yes, the old village chief, father and son, did not introduce Zhang Wei's situation to other guests in advance, so that others looked down on the family, but they received it warmly, didn't it even more set off the "difference" of their father and son?
The effect they want is to "focus on beauty in front", focus on beauty in front of Zhang Wei, and behave closer than everyone, including the mayor!
The village chief's father and son welcomed Zhang Wei's family into the house, and a total of three tables were set up for the banquet, and the best master chef in ten miles and eight towns was invited to cook food.
"Lao Cao, I said why did you disappear in a blink of an eye, which distinguished guest is this?" The mayor's secretary asked in a weird way, and the mayor sitting next to him had a bad face, because he was the absolute protagonist tonight, and this village chief Cao had "served" him well in front of him, and he turned his face and went out to greet people, and he didn't say hello, which was too unusual.
"Oh, mayor, this Mr. Zhang is the pride of our village, he is probably the youngest billionaire in China now, and he has a good relationship with Secretary Wu of Deep Blue City. By the way, Secretary Wu, do you remember? It's the one who also served as the mayor of our Jin Yu City a few years ago, and now he is going to Shenlan City to be a secretary! Village Chief Cao replied with a smile, carefully looking at Zhang Wei's face.
The mayor's face changed, this damn old man Cao, if a distinguished guest comes, he won't talk to him first, is this taking him with eye medicine?
Billionaires, not millionaires, the order of magnitude difference is too far, the millionaires in their entire town can be counted in a slap, and the billionaire he, the mayor of the town, has never seen anything alive in his life.
Even if he has money, he still has a relationship with Secretary Wu?
The mayor of the town is also mixed with officialdom, although he is now middle-aged, and his head has become "Mediterranean", but he still has the shrewdness he should have.
Secretary Wu went to other places to be an official, but his hometown is here, the key is that Secretary Wu's father is an old Red Army, from the War of Resistance against Japan to the War against Vietnam, almost all the battles since the founding of the People's Republic of China have participated, he was a young soldier during the War of Resistance against Japan, and he was already a deputy commander during the Vietnam War.
The old man is still very healthy and is retired in Jin Yu City.
Don't look at other people's sons who have been transferred, but it's not just the son who is powerful, but also the old man!
"Ahaha, Mr. Zhang, I really don't know Taishan, please forgive me for missing the distance." The mayor stood up, gave up the main seat to Zhang Wei to sit, and his face suddenly bloomed like a spring flower, and any Oscar actor had to stand aside.
Zhang Wei didn't excuse others, but he didn't sit down himself, but helped his parents to sit down.
When had the two old men ever seen such a battle, and even the village chief and the town mayor were accompanied by smiling faces? The second elder's face was a little unnatural, what his son said today that he wanted them to come to the banquet, and they couldn't resist him if they didn't want to come.
"Mayor Tao is polite, and thank Village Chief Cao for the banquet." Zhang Wei waited for his parents to sit down, and also sat down, "Of course, the other fellow villagers here today, I also want to thank you for your usual 'care' of my parents, hehe." ”
