Chapter 30 A gentleman loves money and is greedy
Zhang Ke also hesitated when he saw his mother, no wonder, when his father became the secretary general of the municipal government, his salary may not be much longer, but the expenses are much larger.
Zhang Zhiwei hesitated when he saw his younger siblings, and hurriedly said: "Zhifei said that Xicheng Hotel is good, I think it's okay," without waiting for Liang Gezhen to respond, he turned his head and left, "I'll go and book twenty tables first, and my sister thinks that she wants to add someone, so she will call Zhifei." ”
"Why did your uncle leave?"
Zhang Ke saw his mother's helpless look, and said with a smile: "Holding a banquet at the Xicheng Hotel, it's too popular, my father loves face, he must be afraid that others will say that he just became the secretary general and wants to make money, in case Uncle Tang has any ideas, isn't it even worse, Tang Jing is listed in No. 1 Middle School, and has not yet put wine?" ”
"That's right......"
"If you want me to make an idea, then you can't be too strict with me in the future
"You kid, dare to negotiate terms with your mother?" Liang Gezhen stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Ke's ear, "If you have any ghost ideas, tell me quickly." ”
Tang Xueqian does not accept bribes, is not corrupt, but it does not mean that he does not accept gifts, otherwise how can he maintain his daily expenses? To put it bluntly, Gu Jianping was also worried about the wine at this time, seeing that she and Tang Jing were about to enter school, and if she didn't put wine on the table, there would be nothing to talk about, but Tang Xueqian had only been promoted to the mayor for less than half a month, so she was afraid that there would be any bad effects.
Zhang Ke thought in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile proudly on his face.
"What are you laughing at, if you have an idea, don't you say it quickly?" Liang Gezhen added a little strength in his hand, and pulled Xiao Ke's ears up.
"Ah, it hurts, ......it hurts," Zhang Ke shouted, "Just one condition, don't pull my ears in the future." ”
"Do you dare to put forward conditions, and if you mention it again, you will be allowed to stay in a taxi every day and come back?" Liang Gezhen said threateningly, but put it down in his hand.
"Alas, I've never seen such an unreasonable mother as you," Zhang Ke sighed, not seeking any benefits for himself, "You call Uncle and ask him to book only one table of banquets in Xicheng Hotel, and then call Dad and Aunt Gu, and say that the two families will take this opportunity to get together, and by the way celebrate the two children being admitted to Shanghai No. 1 Middle School, Aunt Gu's stomach is shallower than yours, maybe let the wind out first, my family has a treat, his family has a wind, others want to come, you can't let the owner of the Xicheng Hotel close the door?" The wine is set, the favor is accepted, Uncle Tang, Dad, who can they blame? You can't do corruption and bribery, but you can't do it, but the law doesn't prohibit it, how can others scold? You want to invite people to the banquet, he still thinks that you are kind and kind, mingle with the masses, and have face, Uncle Tang and Dad just can't wipe off their face, you and Aunt Gu want to give them the stairs. ”
Liang Gezhen's eyes were smiling, and when he saw that Uncle Xiao Ke had passed the corner and the figure was gone, he turned around and pulled Xiao Ke upstairs, and hung up the phone to Xiao Ke's uncle Zhang Zhifei first, and said that his relatives would not be invited for the time being today, and planned to set up a table in the Xicheng Hotel, and invite Mayor Tang's family to get together, which can also be regarded as a celebration for Xiao Ke and Tang Jing's admission to Shanghai No. 1 Middle School. then hung up the phone to her husband Zhang Zhixing, told me about renting a house, and then talked about eating. How did Zhang Zhixing know that this was a trap set by his wife and son? I think it's okay, through this incident, the relationship with Tang Xueqian has become one step closer, and the two families should also contact each other more.
Liang Gezhen then hung up the phone to Gu Jianping, first chatted about a homely routine, and then talked about eating, emphasizing the celebration of the two children's admission to Shanghai No. 1 Middle School, and asking Gu Jianping to bring her daughter over early to chat. Gu Jianping said on the other end of the phone, she now looks at Zhang Zhixing's children, the more she looks at them, the more pleasing they are, maybe there will be a big future, but the children of the two families are still young, and they dare not let them be too close, so as not to do something that catches the adults off guard.
After staying up at home until four o'clock, Zhang Ke went downstairs with his mother, and met Ding Aimin's lover in the community and asked: "Sister Liang, celebrate Xiao Ke's admission to a high school today?" After being admitted to the first middle school, he entered the cradle of the university, and Xiao Ke designated to enter Tsinghua University and Peking University in ......the future.
Seeing that his mother was about to confide the truth, Zhang Ke stopped in front of her and said, "It's okay, I'll go grocery shopping with my mother." Then my mother went out and got out of the community and hailed a taxi to go up.
Liang Gezhen asked: "What if she really thinks that we are going to buy vegetables?" ”
"You're going to take a taxi to buy groceries?" Zhang Ke smiled, lowered his voice and said, "A gentleman loves money, he is greedy, he takes other people's money, and he can't let others look down on him, this is the realm of being an official." ”
"Where do you come up with all this nonsense?" Liang Gezhen said strangely, "You are more suitable to be an official than your father." ”
Zhang Ke patted his head and said: "The lessons of my father's ten years of blood and tears are all in my head, of course I am brighter than him." ”
"Go, go, what lesson of blood and tears?" Liang Gezhen giggled, not letting his son talk nonsense. Where would she have thought that Zhang Ke was talking about this seriously.
Taking the car to the Xicheng Hotel, which is very close to No. 1 Middle School, Liang Gezhen pointed to his watch: "It's only been twenty minutes, why are you talking nonsense that it takes an hour and a half to go back and forth?" ”
I didn't notice it when I took the bus in the morning, but at this time, Zhang Ke saw his uncle Zhang Zhifei looking at the door of the hotel, ignored his mother's questioning, and hurriedly got off the bus: "Why didn't Zhang Mei come?" ”
"Your family invited Tang Xueqian's family to dinner, how can Xiaomei come?"
Zhang Ke smiled slightly, didn't show his bottom to his uncle, followed into the hall, saw his uncle Zhang Zhiwei inside, and asked, "Why is the uncle here?" ”
Liang Gezhen rushed over from behind, she expected Zhang Ketang's uncle Zhang Zhiwei to pay for the banquet, coughed, and didn't let Xiao Ke talk nonsense.
Since you can come, you won't be driven away easily.
Zhang Ke said unceremoniously: "Uncle and Uncle Tang have a good relationship, Uncle is not here, I have to invite Uncle Tang over, Uncle and Uncle Tang don't know each other, will it make Uncle Tang feel abrupt?" ”
Zhang Zhifei couldn't interject next to him, he didn't think that Zhang Ke was still a sixteen-year-old kid, he could lift the boss's table in front of everyone, and his face was quite light at this time.
Zhang Zhiwei didn't expect to embarrass a half-year-old child like this, his face was full of embarrassment, and he smiled on his face: "Uncle just came to see if he could help, and when it came to dinner, Uncle still had something to do." ”
Liang Gezhen saw how powerful his son was, and he felt pity for his cousin, but when he thought about the situation when he returned to his hometown to attend the funeral in July, he calmed down and beckoned his uncle to ask about the preparations.
If you want to say that the anger you received at the funeral should have disappeared a long time ago, but for Zhang Ke, what is difficult to eliminate is the resentment accumulated for more than ten years before reading the file of life.
