Chapter 510: Competing for Birthday Gifts
Chapter 510 Compete for Birthday Gifts
High! It's just too high! Ren Sinian sat on the side and admired his second brother so much that he was about to go to the age of ninety, but his thinking was not confused at all, his brain turned close to the young man, and he blocked Ren Chaozhi with just one sentence. Even though Ren Chaozhi has prepared thousands of words in the back, he won't say a word at this time, right? The second brother is really old and spicy, and his seemingly light words are really thunderous, sharp as a fast knife, who dares to speak?
Thinking of this, Ren Sinian glanced at Ren Chaozhi with some sympathy, and said secretly in his heart, my eldest nephew, I want to play tricks with this second uncle, isn't that boring? can rank first among the eight elders, and his status in this dynasty is second only to Grandmaster Tai, how can the second uncle be given for nothing?
Ren Chaozhi didn't expect the second uncle to be so unkind to him, he didn't save him any face, his face turned pale for a while, and he muttered in his mouth, not daring to speak.
Ren Chaomin glanced at Ren Chaozhi, he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and said darkly, Brother Chaozhi, even if he wants to fight for his grandson for the position of the head of the family, he doesn't have to look so ugly, right? Without the second uncle in this position, don't be Jia Yongcheng, can Brother Chaozhi get to his current position? Today is the second uncle's birthday, and it is the day of the reunion of grandparents and grandchildren, isn't this deliberately blocking the second uncle? This is the second uncle who spoke, if the second uncle didn't speak, I wouldn't be willing!
No matter what others thought, Ren Chaomin stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Yuanfang to Ren Sizhe's side: "Far away, are you still stunned?" Why don't you hurry up and sit next to your grandfather? ”
"Yes, why don't you sit down quickly?" Ren Chaoqiang also said with a smile on the side.
The two highest-ranking strongmen in the second generation of the family are like this, Ren Chaozhi was deflated in front of the old man again, who would dare to have any objection to Lin Yuanfang sitting at the main table? As Ren Chaomin pressed Lin Yuanfang on the seat next to Ren Sizhe, all the members of the Ren family understood that at least from now on, the master-slave status between Lin Yuanfang and the other three generations of the family had been determined, and as for whether Lin Yuanfang could sit in this position, it would depend on the changes in the future.
Ren Yongcheng's jealous eyes below were about to burst into flames, but he had to make a calm appearance. There is no way, his future promotion is inseparable from the paving of the Ren family, if he loses his temper on this occasion and provokes the disgust of the old man, then the support resources he will get in the family in the future will be pitiful. Now the correction is only to determine the next name, and he will prove it to the second grandfather in the future, only he is the most suitable person for the family!
Ren Yongli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in the future, he could focus on researching the most cutting-edge military technology, and he would no longer be distracted by the dispute over the head of the family. He understands his own affairs, and with his character, he is best suited to be a general who charges into battle, rather than a marshal who controls the overall situation. As far as he is concerned, he is indeed not interested in the position of the head of the three generations of the family, and the reason why he is regarded as Ren Yongcheng's rival is only because he and Ren Yongcheng are the two most outstanding members of the three generations of the family. Now that the second grandfather's grandson from afar has come out, he naturally withdraws and returns to the field he is best at.
The seats were arranged, and the next thing was the time for the descendants of the family to give gifts to the old man's birthday. Originally, according to the plan, the generations of the family would first present birthday gifts to the old man at noon today, and then have a formal birthday banquet in the evening, but this plan was changed because of the sudden visit of the great master. Because according to the usual practice, after the arrival of Grandmaster Tai, the No. 1 leader will definitely follow in the footsteps of Grandmaster Tai, and then several members of the Standing Committee, including Master Z, will also come to congratulate the old man on his birthday, and finally members of the Politburo and the Military Commission will also come. In this way, the old man can only hold the birthday banquet until noon, and the rest of the time will be used to receive the Taizong Ye, the No. 1 chief, and other central leaders.
Since the second-generation members had already given gifts to the old man before the family meeting in the study just now, it was mainly the third-generation members who gave the old man a birthday gift at this time. The first person to come up to offer a congratulatory gift was the eldest house chief, Sun Yongcheng, who was the oldest of the three generations of members, so he was the first in line. Starting
When watching Ren Yongcheng walk to the main table with his wife Zhang Xiaohong holding an antique square box in his hand, everyone's attention was immediately attracted. The people present were all members of the Ren family, and naturally there was no shortage of people with outstanding eyesight, and they could naturally see that this antique square box was carved from a single piece of sandalwood. The outer packaging of this gift is so extraordinary, it is conceivable that the value of the gift inside is geometric.
In the curious eyes of everyone, Ren Yongcheng came to Ren Sizhe, opened the box with a heart, and saw a jade mountain lying on a sandalwood tray, emitting an emerald green light under the illumination of the light. This turned out to be a jade mountain made of jadeite, with a whole body of emerald green, without a trace of variegation.
"Emerald!" Someone already whispered out from below. At this time, although the price of jadeite was still at a low level, it was not as crazy as it was more than ten years later, but this jadeite jade mountain would never be able to buy without 300,000 yuan.
"Second grandfather, this jade jade carving is called Shoubi Nanshan, it is a birthday gift that Xiaohong and I specially purchased for you in Xiangjiang Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, I wish you good fortune like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan!" Ren Yongcheng and Zhang Xiaohong bowed three times to Ren Sizhe.
There was an exclamation below. There is no way, the only ones who can take out such a valuable gift in a dignified manner are Ren Yongcheng and Zhang Xiaohongfu. Zhang Xiaohong's father, Zhang Fucheng, is the vice president of Hantang International Trust and Investment Company, and when the salaries of leading cadres in China are mostly linked to two or three thousand yuan, Zhang Fucheng's annual salary has reached more than one million Hong Kong dollars. With such a rich father, it is not surprising that Zhang Xiaohong took out three or four hundred thousand yuan to buy a birthday gift for Mr. Ren.
Ren Sizhe is simple by nature, but he actually doesn't like Ren Yongcheng to give such a luxurious gift. But today is his birthday, and it is his nephew and daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaohong who paid for the gift, which can be regarded as a piece of filial piety of the generations, so that Ren Sizhe has no way to say harsh words.
"Xiaohong, don't buy such an expensive gift next time," Ren Sizhe called Zhang Xiaohong to his side with a smile, and said earnestly: "Dad's money is not blown by the wind, so I can't use it to supplement my second grandfather!" ”
Ren Chaozhi let out a long sigh and unhurriedly put on a cigarette. I was blocked by the old man just now, and at this time I finally got my face back. With so many three generations of family members, who can come up with such a gift like Yongcheng? Ren Yongcheng thinks so, it's not that none of the three generations of the Ren family have this strength. In fact, it is not a gift of three or four hundred thousand yuan, but a gift of more than one million yuan, and a few of the three generations of members can afford it. It's just a pity that their money is not coming from the right way, and the old man Ren Sizhe is jealous and hateful, if there is no proper way to come up with a very expensive gift, I am afraid that the old man will slap the table on the spot, and let Ren Chaomin send someone to check their financial resources!
Ren Chaozhi's wife Xue Meiying was even more smiling on the side. Although she didn't dare to raise objections to Old Man Ren's placement of Lin Yuanfang to sit at the main table like her husband, she was still very dissatisfied, and when she saw her husband choked back by Old Man Ren, she felt even more aggrieved for her husband and son. At this time, seeing his son give such a valuable gift and earn back face for his family, I felt a little better in my heart. She said darkly, old man and old man, people's hearts are flesh and blood, although my family Yongcheng is not my own grandson, but how about my family Yongcheng, can't you see it? He is not so filial to me and Chaozhi!
Because Ren Yongcheng's congratulatory gifts suddenly calmed the audience, the gifts of other people in the back seemed bland and did not arouse people's interest at all. It wasn't until Ren Yongli stepped forward that people's interest was raised again, no matter what, Ren Yongli and Ren Yongcheng are known as the peerless double pride among the three generations of the Ren family, since Ren Yongcheng took out such a valuable gift, Ren Yongli's gift must not be too shabby, right?
"Second grandfather, you are older and more active, so the self-thought machine you are bringing now is a little inappropriate." Ren Yongli smiled and took out a box, stretched it out, and gently sent it to Ren Sizhe, "I chose a quartz watch for you, which is light and delicate, accurate when walking, and I don't have to worry that it always stops and stops." ”
The omega watch worn by Ren Sizhe was a trophy of the 1949 East China Sea Campaign, which was captured from the hands of a lieutenant general. Since then, this watch has been with Ren Sizhe for almost 50 years now. From the outside, this piece is old and old, the chrome on the case is about to fall off, the door G is also scattered with three or four cracks, and the scale on the dial is also blurred, and it is already the age of retirement. But because this watch has a special commemorative significance for Ren Sizhe, he has been reluctant to change it. It's just that Ren Sizhe is now an old man in his eighties, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities for activities, and this Omega self-detaching watch can't get power, and often stops unconsciously and loses, so that Ren Sizhe has to take off the watch from time to time and let Bao Guanghui adjust the time. Now Ren Yongli sent a quartz watch, just to solve the problem of watch pause for the old man.
Ren Sizhe looked at the watch in the box, and his face sank suddenly: "Yongli, how much does this watch cost?" With the experience of the old man, it is natural to see that this watch is the top Swiss watch brand Vacheron Constantin. Even if it is just an electronic quartz watch, how can it be cheap if it is produced by Vacheron Constantin?
"One hundred and fifty-five thousand." Ren Yongli replied honestly.
"How much can a colonel and teacher have a salary in a year? How can you come up with so much money to buy a watch? Ren Sizhe looked at Ren Yongli, although his voice was not high, but the tools hidden inside couldn't help but make everyone's hearts tighten, and the darkness pinched a cold sweat for Ren Yongli.
Ren Chaomin kept holding Lin Yuanfang's hand and whispering, and at this time, she also spread Lin Yuanfang's hand and looked at Ren Yongli with a serious face.
Although Ren Yongli didn't have a ghost in his heart, he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead at this time. Not for the other reason, it is because the old man's pressure is too heavy. Who is "not guilty of doing bad things, and the three are not afraid of ghosts calling the door?" "Let these people who have not done anything bad come and stand in front of the old man and try to see if they will be scared and their legs tremble?
"Second master, the new camouflage technology of the armored army that I presided over and researched won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award." Ren Yongli tried to adjust his breathing, "The personal bonuses issued to me by the State Council and the Military Commission add up to 150,000 yuan, and I added some personal savings to buy you this Vacheron Constantin quartz watch." ”
Ren Yongli presided over the research of the new camouflage technology of the armored army won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, but the old man Ren Sizhe knew that it was a month ago, and the old man was very happy at that time, and he personally beat the Hotline to Ren Yongli for the first time and encouraged him. won the National Science and Technology Progress Award, naturally there will be some bonuses, and this old man Ren Sizhe also knows it. It's just that he didn't expect that the bonus would be as high as 150,000 yuan, and it was only the part of the reward for individuals. So he looked at Ren Chaoqiang, who was the chief adviser of the Dingbei Military Region. Ren Chaoqiang knew what the old man meant, so he nodded slightly.
Ren Sizhe's face softened at this time. Although Ren Chaoqiang is Ren Yongli's father, Ren Sizhe believes that Ren Chaoqiang will never dare to deceive him in this matter, not to mention that this kind of thing is not difficult to verify, as long as Bao Guanghui has a virtuous style, it will be clear immediately. Even if Ren Chaoqiang has a big burden, he doesn't dare to partner with his son to deceive his old man!
However, Ren Sizhe was still not at ease, and looked at Bao Guanghui again. Seeing that Bao Guanghui also nodded, Ren Sizhe's face was completely relaxed. If it was replaced by other nephews, Ren Sizhe would not have moved such a big liver fire. However, Ren Yongli, one of the most promising nephews among the three generations of members of the family, Ren Sizhe still has great hopes for his growth, and naturally he does not want him to go down the wrong path and commit serious problems. At this time, he knew that he was wrong to blame his nephew, but Ren Sizhe was also neat, he took Ren Yongli's hand and said: "Yongli, I'm sorry, the second grandfather is confused, almost wrong!" Don't be angry with the second grandfather! ”
"Second grandfather, don't do this! How could I be angry with you? You're doing it for my good, I know! Ren Yongli just had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, and his face was red with embarrassment.
"Hehe, it's good not to blame the second grandfather." Ren Sizhe laughed, reached out and picked up the Vacheron Constantin quartz watch, "I like this gift very much, and I won't worry about banning time in the future." ”
Ren Sizhe reached out and untied his own Omega automatic watch. Ren Chaomin hurriedly went over to help the old man take off the Omega watch, and helped the old man buckle the Vacheron Constantin quartz watch.
"Hehe, yes, yes, it's good to wear!" Ren Sizhe waved his arm back and forth, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He looked at Ren Yongli and said, "Yongli, you can solve a big problem for my old man!" ”
Ren Chaozhi and Xue Meiying only got angry when they watched from the sidelines. originally thought that his son would give away a piece of jade and jade carving, and today he would take the limelight, but he didn't think that Ren Yongli's son would find another way to send a Vacheron Constantin quartz watch. Although in terms of price, Ren Yongli's quartz watch only cost more than 180,000 yuan, compared to his son's Shoubi Nanshan jade jade carving worth more than 300,000 yuan, there is no gap, but Ren Yongli's more than 180,000 yuan is all earned by himself, compared to his own son reaching out to the old father-in-law's house to ask for money to buy gifts, more than one step ahead. And Ren Yongli is also very good at pondering the old man's thoughts, knowing that the old man's self-detaching watch has the problem of insufficient kinetic energy, and quietly went to buy a quartz watch. Alas! Still the kung fu didn't make it home! If Yongcheng didn't buy any Shoubi Nanshan, but bought a Swiss quartz watch, it would be their family Yongcheng who won the favor of the old man, not Ren Yongli in the fourth room!
Ren Yong deliberately also made a fire, and his carefully planned gift was finally compared to Ren Yongli. Ren Yongli seems to be straightforward, who knows that he is also a ghost, if he doesn't think about this all day long, how can he just keep the pulse of the old man? It seems that I still watched him in front of me!
Others naturally sighed, when Ren Yongcheng took out the Shoubi Nanshan jade jade carving, they thought that no one could compare, but they didn't expect that Ren Yongli would use the prize money of the new military camouflage technology that won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award to buy a watch for the old man, just from the idea of ingenuity, it is better than Ren Yongcheng!
The next gift process seemed to be uneventful, everyone sent up just some ordinary gifts, nothing surprising, seeing that it was about to come to an end, the juniors who had not yet sent congratulatory gifts, and Lin Yuanfang and other members of the three generations of the most aged.
Xue Meiying felt guilty in her heart that she had never had a chance to vent, but at this time she finally found an opportunity. She asked Lin Yuanfang with a smile: "Yuanfang, for the first time to celebrate grandpa's birthday, what special gifts did you prepare?" When she said this, Xue Meiying actually wanted to see Lin Yuanfang's joke in her heart. In her mind, Lin Yuanfang is just a county magistrate below, what special gifts can he prepare?
"Hehe, I have two gifts for grandpa." Lin Yuanfang took out the prepared gift box. The box was placed in the trunk of the car, and it was inspected by security personnel before being brought in.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Lin Yuanfang's side to see what kind of gifts the old man's future grandson could come up with.
Lin Yuanfang opened the box, took out two black ceramic jars from it, and gently placed them in front of Ren Sizhe: "Grandpa, this is a famous specialty of our Baiqiang County, which is delicious and has the effect of prolonging life. I send it to grandpa, wishing you good health and a long life, and never grow old! ”
A contemptuous smile that was not easy to detect appeared in Xue Meiying's corner, the county magistrate, Tu Baozi, what can he do? I still think highly of him! Two packets of pickles, this kind of day, he can also give it away!
