Chapter 187: The Science of Gift-giving

Because the Spring Festival is approaching, Song Ziqiang has not lived in the provincial party committee compound in the past few days, but returned to the Song family's ancestral house in the provincial capital.

In fact, this is also the tradition of the Song family for many years, not only Song Ziqiang has returned, but even Song Yanqiang's family has returned to the ancestral house from Wuxi for the New Year.

The appearance of the two brothers of the Song family in one place at the same time also made those who wanted to build relationships and walk around. When Li Yuan came to the vicinity of the Song family's ancestral house, he noticed several luxury cars parked on the side of the road. And the owners of these luxury cars, obviously like Li Yuan, came to pay New Year's greetings to the two brothers of the Song family.

Of course, the Song brothers are not ordinary people, and not everyone can pay New Year's greetings to them. In fact, 99.9% of those who come to visit the New Year do not see them at all. But even so, there are as many people who come to pay New Year's greetings as the carp crossing the river -- everyone hopes that they are lucky enough, and if Governor Song and Mayor Song happen to be in a good mood and agree to see him, wouldn't that be a great thing? This kind of mentality is similar to most people buying lottery tickets, hoping for a "just in case".

When Li Yuan came to the outside of the Song family's ancestral house, he found that there were already more than a dozen people waiting here. Many people's faces were full of nervousness and anticipation, obviously wishing they were the lucky ones.

Li Yuan noticed that many people were carrying beautifully packaged gift boxes, and just by looking at the appearance, he knew that the contents were valuable, which also made him feel secretly funny. After all, with Li Yuan's understanding of the Song family brothers, he knew that they didn't eat this set at all. Even if anyone is lucky enough to meet the Song brothers, they will be driven out because of these precious gifts.

In fact, Li Yuan's appearance also attracted the attention of others. Looking at Li Yuan, who was dressed ordinarily and young, especially the gifts he brought were all agricultural products, many people's faces also showed a look of contempt.

In the eyes of these people, this young man is really too ignorant, how can he bring a few chickens and some vegetables to the governor for the New Year? In this day and age, even if you go to the homes of relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, no one will bring such a gift. And Li Yuan actually brought these things to the governor to greet the New Year, it's too child's play, right?

However, Li Yuancai didn't care what others thought, and immediately called Song Zhicheng after arriving: "I've arrived." What about you? ”

"Oh, I'm helping my mom pick vegetables!" Song Zhicheng immediately said to Li Yuan: "You wait for me for a while, wash your hands and come out." ”

"Okay." Li Yuan responded briefly, hung up the phone and waited for Song Zhicheng to come out.

A middle-aged man next to him looked at Li Yuan with a smile. After he finished calling, he came over and said, "Little brother, this is the first time you have come to greet the governor's family, right?" ”

There was nothing to hide, Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"I knew it as soon as I saw it." The middle-aged man nodded, and said with a really like this expression: "Then brother, I will rely on the old man to sell a few words, these gifts of yours...... Hehe! ”

Li Yuanyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't these gifts good?" ”

"The other party is the governor's family!" The middle-aged man had a "you can't figure it out" expression. lowered his voice and said, "People haven't seen any good things, but you only bring these things, it's too child's play, right?" Even if you have a lot of luck, you really have the opportunity to meet the governor, and people will definitely drive you out immediately when they see these things you are carrying! ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily, maybe Governor Song likes such a gift?" ”

A fat man with glasses next to him heard the conversation between the two, looked at Li Yuan with disdain, and said, "Lao Wang, what nonsense are you talking about with this kind of person?" Today's young people are so self-righteous, they don't know the sky is high and thick if they don't suffer a little! ”

Li Yuan knew that Lao Wang reminded himself so. It's also out of good intentions, so I chatted with him casually. But the fat man with glasses in the back obviously looked down on himself, Li Yuan naturally wouldn't give him a good look, and immediately asked coldly: "I want to know, how many times have you met Governor Song?" ”

Listening to Li Yuan's question, the fat man was also embarrassed. In fact, how can they be qualified to pay New Year's greetings to the governor, they just stay here, hoping to be satisfied with showing their faces in front of the governor when Song Ziqiang's family is in and out.

But the fat man quickly went from embarrassment to annoyance. glared at Li Yuan viciously and said, "Even if I haven't seen it once, aren't you just like me?!" ”

As soon as the fat man's words fell, the door of the Song family's old mansion opened. Everyone immediately looked nervously in that direction, hoping for good luck.

Of course, it won't be the Song Ziqiang brothers who came out. It's Song Zhicheng and Song Yuxin, brothers and sisters. They are also important members of the Song family, Lao Wang and Fat Man and others naturally know each other, but Song Zhicheng's brothers and sisters don't know them. Seeing Song Yuxin's brothers and sisters come out, everyone was in high spirits, hoping that they could hand in good luck.

Under the gaze of everyone, Song Ziqiang's brothers and sisters came straight to Li Yuan, who "didn't know the height of the sky". Song Yuxin just nodded lightly to Li Yuan. Even if it was a hello. And Song Zhicheng affectionately hooked Li Yuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Why are you here, Uncle and my dad have asked several times." ”

"I'm not familiar with the road." Li Yuan said with a smile: "And I still have live chickens, and I called several taxis, and people didn't let me get on." ”

"Call me, I'll pick you up in my car." Song Zhicheng said: "Helping my mother pick vegetables is almost boring to death, and I want to go out to breathe......"

The two of them just talked and left, and soon went back to the house with Song Yuxin. All that was left was a group of people with dull expressions outside, and shattered glasses all over the floor.

Lao Wang, who was still "mentioning" Li Yuan before, came back to his senses first, and ran out while muttering quietly. The fat man with glasses felt strange, and hurriedly asked him loudly: "Lao Wang, where are you going?" ”

"Go buy chicken and vegetables!" Lao Wang's voice came from afar: "Didn't you see what that young man brought?" Do you need to ask?! ”

Inspired by Lao Wang, the group soon disappeared, and they all went to the nearby vegetable market to buy things.

At the same time, Li Yuan had already met the Song Ziqiang brothers. Compared with last time, Song Ziqiang's complexion is much better. Now he has a ruddy face, and he is full of energy when he speaks, and he looks energetic.

The last time Li Yuan saw Song Ziqiang, he felt that he was obviously older than Song Yanqiang. And when he saw Song Ziqiang again this time, he looked about the same age as his younger brother Song Yanqiang.

Li Yuan knew in his heart that this was naturally the effect of the golden beads, which not only made Song Ziqiang healthy, but also made his complexion better and better.

It is precisely because Song Ziqiang has recovered his health that everyone in the Song family is in a good mood, and they are naturally more and more grateful to Li Yuan. So as soon as Li Yuan arrived and entered the house, he was warmly received by Song Ziqiang's brothers. (To be continued.) )
