Chapter 35: Ancestor Worship
Li Haoyu smiled and chatted with Sun Changmao for a few more words before hanging up the phone, looking at Qian Wende with a smile and saying, "District Mayor Qian, do you still want this villa?" ”
Qian Wende shook his head like a drum and said, "No, no, Li Dong, I was just joking just now, don't mind." He knew very well in his heart that although Li Haoyu was now an ordinary businessman, his status on the surface was far from that of him, the district chief. But he can't stand Li Haoyu, he knows Mayor Huang Lei and his big secretary, not to mention anything else, if he mentions in pass to Mayor Huang Lei or Sun Changmao that he Qian Wende is rich enough to buy a villa, then he will not only "wear a flower feather" and not be guaranteed, maybe the Commission for Discipline Inspection will invite him to tea.
Qian Wei and his mother were already scared silly, they didn't expect that Li Haoyu, who was dressed so ordinarily, would have such a big energy that he could directly contact the mayor of Shancheng. Their mood at the moment is like fifteen buckets of water - seven up and eight down, and they don't know how to speak, just now they offended Li Haoyu very much, in case he holds a grudge, they don't dare to think about it anymore.
"Xiaowei! Yueshiba! Aren't you going to apologize like Li Dongdao?! Qian Wende saw that his daughter-in-law and grandson were still stunned and apologized, so he couldn't help but feel anxious and shouted out.
Zhang Yuezhi and Qian Wei just woke up from a dream at this time, Zhang Yuezhi had a little more social experience, and immediately put on a sad expression and said to Li Haoyu: "Li Dong, I'm sorry, it's because I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, so don't worry about us if you have a lot of adults." Xiaowei, what are you still stunned about, don't you apologize like Li Dongdao! ”
Qian Wei was young and vigorous, and when he heard his mother ask him to apologize to Li Haoyu again, the boss in his heart was unhappy, and said dryly: "I'm sorry." After speaking, he turned his head and didn't look at Li Haoyu, without any sincerity.
Qian Wende was about to be angry with this uncompetitive grandson, and shouted: "Qian Wei, if you don't apologize to Li Dongdao today, don't think about going back to this house!" He said and looked at Li Haoyu's expression, seeing his indifferent face, he couldn't help but feel secretly bitter in his heart, and his brain was running extremely fast, thinking of how to make up for the relationship with Li Haoyu.
The manager and Su Mei and several sales ladies all opened their mouths wide, how did this trick change?
Li Haoyu, an ordinary person dressed ordinarily, like a big boy next door, was able to directly contact the mayor of Shancheng City, and the relationship seemed to be extraordinary, and several of them felt a little dizzy.
This world is too bizarre, isn't it?
Li Yuanshan and Zhang Hongmei are full of pride, this young man who can talk to the mayor is their son!
"Mr. Li Haoyu, I'm really sorry just now, in order to make up for my apologies to you, we will sell you the villa you bought at a price of 92% off, and all the other expenses will be paid by our company." In the end, the manager has been in the ** lake for more than ten years, and he immediately thought about the relationship with Li Haoyu without changing his expression, but fortunately, he didn't speak ill of Li Haoyu just now, otherwise it would be too difficult to ease the relationship again.
Li Haoyu doesn't blame this manager, in the official-based world of Huaxia, officials can't be offended, let alone officials in their own company's jurisdiction, and this manager didn't speak ill of him just now. He nodded and said, "So be it." ”
Seeing that Li Haoyu had no intention of blaming, the manager immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Mr. Li Haoyu, please give me your identity documents, and I will go through the formalities for you immediately." He didn't even mention the payment for the house, as if he was very relieved of Li Haoyu.
Li Haoyu will not take advantage of this kind of advantage, and immediately prepared to pay, Qian Wende said with a smile on his face at this time: "Dong Li, I was really embarrassed just now, so let's do it, I gave you the money for this villa, and I hope that Dong Li will give you Haihan!" "Although the five million is not enough to break his muscles and bones, it is enough to make him feel pain for a long time, but this money cannot be reluctant.
Reluctant to pay this money, his career was overshadowed, and maybe he would read the rest of his life in prison in the future. Qian Wende is also a very decisive person, the five million will be sent, and he hopes that the other party will not refuse.
Li Haoyu knew that he really couldn't refuse this money, otherwise he would offend the district chief with real power to death, and he didn't plan what to do with him, so he smiled and nodded: "Then thank you District Chief Qian." ”
Qian Wende breathed a long sigh of relief, Li Haoyu was willing to accept the villa he sent, so this beam has already been revealed.
After paying all the money needed to buy the villa at one time, Qian Wende chatted with Li Haoyu a few more times before leaving with his daughter-in-law and grandson.
The manager personally went to handle the procedures for Li Haoyu, and all the procedures were completed in less than an hour, and he also sent someone to help Li Haoyu move the things he needed, and prepared everything before dark on Chinese New Year's Eve, and stayed in this villa.
The manager sent a lot of New Year's goods, all of which were common things such as bacon and sausages, which filled half of the room, which made Li Yuanshan and Zhang Hongmei both start to worry about using up so many New Year's goods.
After a family of three finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, gathered in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala performed on the 65-inch LCD TV, Zhang Hongmei suddenly asked worriedly: "Haoyu, this house is the money taken by the head of the Qian district, is this appropriate?" She had always had this worry in her heart, and now she couldn't help but ask.
Li Yuanshan pulled Zhang Hongmei and said, "My son knows it in his own heart, what are you worried about?" ”
Li Haoyu said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, in fact, if I don't accept this villa, I will greatly offend District Mayor Qian." "I roughly told the second elder about the cause and effect of this matter, and finally made them completely relaxed.
Li Haoyu didn't have much interest in the Spring Festival Gala program, he took out his mobile phone and sent a blessing text message to everyone, and when he turned to Xiao Yuqing's mobile phone number, he hesitated for a moment, but still sent a text message: "Yuqing, happy new year, I wish you more smiles and happiness in the new year." ”
After ten minutes, Xiao Yuqing replied with a text message: "Li Haoyu, Xie Luxie, I also wish you a happy New Year." ”
Li Haoyu couldn't help but think of Xiao Yuqing's beautiful face in his heart, revealing a hint of a smile.
……
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, not long after dawn, Li Yuanshan called Li Haoyu up, and the family began to rub the rice balls, preparing to go to their hometown to worship their ancestors after Li Yuanhang's family came back.
The custom here in Qingfeng Town is that everyone has to go home to worship their ancestors on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they officially start to visit each other from the second day of the new year.
As soon as the rice balls were rubbed, a horn sounded at the door outside the villa, and Li Yuanhang's Audi A6L had already arrived outside the villa. Zhang Hongmei went to open the door and asked Li Yuanhang to drive the car in.
After getting out of the car, Li Yuanhang looked around at the villa and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, the villa Haoyu bought is really good, and the environment is very good." After speaking, he looked at Li Haoyu, and couldn't help but show a look of relief and said, "Haoyu, you did a good job." ”
Su Hui also said with admiration on his face: "Yes, Yuanhang, when the villa here first came out some time ago, we should have learned that we would also buy a set here." ”
Li Yuanshan showed a smile on his face, and said sincerely: "Yuanhang, brother and sister, you can also come here to live when you go back to Qingfeng, anyway, this place is very big, the two of us can't live in such a big place at all, and those rooms are also Lang Fei." ”
Li Yayan blinked and said, "Okay, uncle, I haven't lived in such a high-end villa yet, and I happened to have a good time in the past two days." ”
Zhang Hongmei nodded again and again: "That's good, I'll clean up a room for you when we come back." ”
Li Yayan took advantage of the fact that a few of them went to cook rice balls, and said to Li Haoyu: "Haoyu, tell me honestly, where did you get the money to buy this villa, and there is not a penny in the company's account." ”
Li Haoyu spread his hands, roughly talked about yesterday's events, and said: "Sister, you just need to know the way about this matter, don't spread it." ”
Li Yayan also knew the seriousness of the matter of Lu Dao, in that case, she would really tear her face with Qian Wende, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "I won't say it, but those sales ladies yesterday don't know if Lu Dao will chew the root of their tongues?" ”
Li Haoyu thought for a while and said, "Probably not, after all, it won't do them any good if this matter comes out, and I specially asked the manager to warn them." ”
Li Yayan was finally relieved.
A large family finished eating rice balls lively, and then took Li Yuanhang's car back to his hometown to prepare to worship his ancestors, a car with six people was a bit crowded, Li Haoyu began to think about whether to spend some time after the Spring Festival to learn to drive.
There are only four people buried near their original hometown, namely the parents of Li Yuanshan brothers, that is, the grandparents of Li Haoyu and Li Yaxi, and the parents of Li Haoyu's grandfather, who are Li Haoyu's great-grandfather and great-grandmother.
Fortunately, the ancestors of the Li family are buried on the same small hill that is not too high, so there is no need to walk too far.
This small hill is full of cemeteries, and there are clumps of bamboo everywhere, so the road is not easy to walk, and it took a lot of effort to come to the grave of Li Haoyu's great-grandfather first.
The six people quickly got busy, first lit a red candle, then tore off the outer packaging of the incense, and laid it flat on the candle flame, so that the lit incense was called peace incense. After the incense is lit, it is inserted in front of the grave, and then it begins to burn the paper, and while burning, he also chants, so that Li Haoyu's great-grandfather is not afraid of spending money, and he will burn money every Spring Festival and Qingming Festival in the future.
When the money was almost burned, they used a plastic bag containing paper money to go to the grave, and then the six people took turns to bow to the ancestor of the Li family. After the two families finished bowing, Li Yuanshan lit the firecrackers that had been bought, reminding the ancestors of the Li family that the money was burned, and let him remember to receive the money.
At the same time, the sound of firecrackers rang out in the vicinity, which were lit by other people who had also come to worship their ancestors.
After worshipping the four ancestors of the Li family, Li Yuanshan and his party left this small hill, Li Yuanshan proposed that after the Spring Festival, they would renovate the tomb of the ancestors of the Li family again, and then repair the road, Li Yuanhang was very much in favor, and the money was paid by him.
