Chapter 240
City.
Municipal Party Committee Family Building.
Vice Mayor Yao Zhengqing had a kind smile on his face, greeted the people he met cordially along the way, and stopped to say a few words when he met the old-timers.
No, when they met Zhang Lao and Ding Lao, who were about to retire, the three of them chatted for a while.
"I heard that your nephew is about to get married? Oh, congratulations, congratulations, I really didn't expect it......" Zhang Lao smiled and congratulated.
Yao Zhengqing said with a smile on his face: "Hey, my nephew, if he doesn't fight, I just hope that he can get married and live a good life." ”
"Yes, young and young, who doesn't have a mess around, it's good to have a family." Ding Lao also said with a smile.
"When is the wedding feast? When the time comes, we old men will also go and join in the fun. Zhang Lao added another sentence.
Yao Zhengqing secretly scolded in his heart, why didn't I see you so enthusiastic when my family held happy events before? Why, I heard that someone from the Zhong family in the capital is here this time, so you want to take advantage of it?
He also pretended to be happy and said, "It must be, and I will definitely invite the two of you to attend when the time comes!" ”
Just walked all the way and met people all the way to say a few words, obviously less than 300 meters away, it took Yao Zhengqing almost twenty minutes.
In the past twenty minutes, a total of seven people came to talk to him, and when the time came, he was going to attend the wedding banquet of Jianbing.
Although it is very annoying that these people are like flies, but there is still a little pride in my heart, Mayor Zhou is about to retire, and the city's leadership team. In terms of seniority, with the relatives of the Zhong family in the capital, how can he be able to pout the surname Wu!
I thought of this good move. He couldn't be proud!
Tsk, who would have thought that the only son of the Zhong family in the capital would marry an ordinary rural girl in the small county town below! The best thing is that this girl has an eldest sister who is not married!
If you want him to say, those people in the county are fools. What's wrong with a bad reputation, if you have such a brother-in-law, no matter how bad your reputation is. It's also worth marrying back!
What's more, now it's just a nephew who has not been successful.
Thinking of his nephew Ma Jianbing, his face was not very good, if it weren't for his wife's repeated pleas, he would be willing to go out to fish for the one surnamed Wang. The last time he played a mess. He didn't want to leave him alone.
He walked and thought about entering the house.
As soon as the door opened, the few people who had been sitting at the coffee table and talking stood up.
Ma Jianbing respectfully shouted "uncle"
Yao Zhengqing nodded, handed the bag to his wife Ma Yulan, who greeted him, and asked casually, "Have you done everything about the wedding banquet?" There are only three days left, and your daughter-in-law has confirmed, and your brother-in-law will also be present at that time, when will they arrive? Let's meet first. ”
Ma Yulan said with a smile: "The wedding banquet has been decided, and Jianbing has also asked Xiao Wang." said that her second sister would attend then, but it was uncertain whether her brother-in-law would come. ”
Yao Zhengqing was unhappy: "Didn't you ask her brother-in-law to come?" Why can't you do this at all? "Seeing my nephew with his head down, he didn't dare to speak. I don't care.
Originally, he didn't expect that Master Zhong to really come, but it was a small wedding, as long as Xiao Wang's second sister came that day, it was enough, but the posture still had to be put on.
Ma Yulan saw that he was not really angry, so she hurriedly pushed her nephew quietly, and said with a smile: "It's not early, it's time for us to eat, I cooked your favorite osmanthus fish today, Jianbing, hurry up and help my aunt serve food." ”
"Hey, hey, okay, auntie." Ma Jianbing finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed Ma Yulan into the kitchen.
After Yao Zhengqing went to the bathroom to wash his hands, he sat at the dining table and waited for the meal to start.
At home, he's always done that.
After the meal, he was about to go out to contact people to contact his feelings, and the phone at home rang.
"Hello?" Yao Zhengqing was a little puzzled, at this time, who called?
"What?" Yao Zhengqing stood up violently, and accidentally brought the purple sand cup on the coffee table in front of him, and the tea splashed on the coffee table.
Ma Jianbing was startled, hurriedly picked up the rag, and wiped it on the coffee table while holding up the cup, secretly glad in his heart that this cup was not broken on the ground, this is the number one purple sand cup.
Yao Zhengqing knew very well what the person on the other end of the phone said, he couldn't care about anything, and there was only one thought in his heart: this time the plan is over! The mayor's position was snatched up by the old rival surnamed Wu!
He held the microphone for a long time and didn't move, even hung up on the other end of the phone, he still maintained his posture still, or Ma Jianbing felt that something was wrong, and cautiously shouted "uncle" to wake him up.
He hurriedly dialed several calls in a row and found several people, all of whom were in an official tone: "Lao Yao, we don't know much about this, what?" What did we say before? How is this possible, this kind of thing, how is it possible, right? ”
Or did Mayor Lao Zhou mention a sentence: "Lao Yao, that nephew of your family?" Isn't that appropriate? ”
With Mayor Zhou's words, Yao Zhengqing understood that his plan was seen through!
He pointed at Ma Jianbing and scolded: "How do you usually get along with that little Wang?" What is Xiao Wang's relationship with her sister? ”
Ma Yulan came out of the kitchen and asked carefully, "Old Yao, what's wrong?" ”
Yao Zhengqing was worried that there was no place to be angry, so he angrily pointed at Ma Jianbing and scolded: "You ask your good nephew what he did?" Just now, a notice was issued from above, and Lao Wu's bastard was officially promoted to mayor! Lao Zhou also reminded me that this matter has something to do with this bastard! ”
Ma Yulan's aunt and nephew were dumbfounded.
has been planning for half a year, and even Ma Jianbing has gone out to marry a broken shoe, so that Yao Zhengqing can take the position? Why is Lao Wu on the throne now?
"Uncle, I, I haven't done anything lately? I also coaxed Wang Mei very well! Ma Jianbing didn't dare to admit this, and hurriedly defended himself: "I also asked Wang Mei, and she said that her family listened to her." Her siblings will be back this time, it's all true! ”
"Really, why was it good before. Even Lao Zhou hinted that I was going up this time, but now it has become Lao Wu? You immediately go and ask that king what is going on, what is going on in her family? If she doesn't have a good relationship with her sister, you don't have to get married! ”
"Huh?" The aunt and nephew looked at each other, but when they saw Yao Zhengqing's angry appearance, they didn't dare to make a sound.
Ma Jianbing obediently responded and walked out. I'm going to go back first, and I'll go to the county to recruit people tomorrow, but I haven't arrived at the door yet. I heard his uncle call him: "You go to Secretary Fang, go to the county seat to find the king immediately, and after you figure everything out, call me back immediately." ”
"Bh. I'll go. I'll go. Ma Jianbing hurriedly responded and went out.
Ma Yulan asked worriedly: "Old Yao, what's wrong this time?" ”
Yao Zhengqing said with a blushing face: "This time, I'm afraid I miscalculated. ”
Obviously, the one in the capital doesn't like others to borrow his power, otherwise, he wouldn't have promoted Lao Wu's bastard at this time!
That's the case. It won't be very cost-effective to marry this family again, wait for Jianbing to ask clearly. If the relationship is really average, this marriage cannot be concluded.
The nephew is very good at fooling people, and he is also very good at deceiving the little girl, but he can't just waste it in vain.
County.
Wang Mei is trying on clothes at Lao Lin's tailor.
I'm going to get married in three days, and the dowry and everything are almost ready, and this time I'm going to try on the clothes I wore on the wedding day.
When the second child got married, I heard the fourth and fifth children say that her wedding dress was very beautiful!
Now that she's married, of course this wedding dress has to be made beautiful!
Lao Lin's tailor is the best craftsmanship in the county, she compared the beautiful clothes she saw in the city with Lao Lin for a long time, and finally let him figure out what it looks like. Moreover, the cost is more than half that of a department store!
When she thinks about money, she is not happy.
The bride price given by Brother Ma is only 300 yuan, which is far less than that of the second child.
I heard Brother Ma say that there is no bride price or bride price for marriage in the city, and now he respects the customs of their family, so he followed her hometown to give the bride price.
Although she was very happy that Brother Ma respected her so much, the bride price of 300 yuan was really too little, and after buying some dowry, there was nothing left, and her own private money was also pasted into a lot, and she didn't even dare to go to the city department store to buy a wedding dress.
If she hadn't been scooped up for a thousand yuan last year, why would she be so frugal now, let alone a single set of clothes, she could buy ten bodies!
Thinking of this, she complained that her parents were useless and couldn't dig out some money from the second child. The second child's family conditions are so good, and she is still so dead, she has been married for so many years, and she doesn't know how to pay for her parents, otherwise, she doesn't have to buy anything now, she has to think about whether the money is enough.
When she thought so, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the money in the second child's family, after all, from childhood to adulthood, when, what she wanted, as long as it was something that the family could do, as long as she opened her mouth, her mother could help her get it.
Now that she is short of money, since the second child is rich, then she should pay more filial piety to the second elder, and her parents' money is not hers.
got the wedding dress, her dowry is complete, and Wang Mei has the leisure to find the fourth and fifth children.
Aiguo and the second child wrote letters directly to the two girls, she hasn't been home recently, and I don't know when they will come back.
"Big sister. Letter, letter, the third brother has a letter. Wang Fang was shouted out by the eldest sister, she was really scared to death! This eldest sister is not a good person, she has bullied them since she was a child, one is not going well, and a scolding is good.
Fortunately, Wang Xia was afraid that she would suffer, so she also came out with her, which made her feel a little more at ease.
However, when they heard that the eldest sister asked them about the second sister and the third brother, the two sisters felt that something was wrong.
They received the letter five days ago, but they never had time to go home, and they were afraid to go home, because the second sister and the third brother would not come back this time, and they would go home to read the letter to their parents.
Seeing that it can't be dragged on, I'm going to take leave to go back tomorrow, who knows, the eldest sister came over first.
"Hurry up and give me the letter!" Wang Mei didn't have the patience to look at these two useless sisters, so she wanted to get the letter and see when the second child and Aiguo arrived.
Wang Fang and Wang Xia glanced at each other, and still took out the letter honestly.
After handing the letter to Wang Mei, the two little sisters said: "It's time for class, let's go to class, eldest sister, you take your time." After that, they ran with their legs, and the two of them ran two steps, and the class bell rang just right, but it blocked Wang Mei's shouting.
Wang Mei is so angry, these two little bastards have known since they were young that they want benefits from their second child, and they dare to ignore her, the eldest sister, to see if she is willing to promote them after she is added to the city!
However, it is important to read the letter now.
When she opened the letter, Wang Mei's hands trembled with anger, okay! All right! Patriotic dare not come back! One by one, their wings are stiff, and they can't look down on her as a big sister, right?
When the second child got married, he was able to invite such a long vacation to go to the capital to attend the wedding, and now her eldest sister is married, but she is unwilling to come back, she looks down on her eldest sister, right?
The fire in her heart burned straight for a while, if Wang Aiguo was in front of her, she could tear him up!
I wanted to catch the two little bastards and ask them clearly, but there was a teacher in the classroom, and she really didn't have the courage to call someone, so she had to stomp her foot and go back to the dormitory first.
It's too late today, and when it dawns tomorrow, she'll go home and ask her parents what's going on. Didn't you say that it's good, the second child and the patriot will come back? Now that he doesn't even come back, the second child may come back?
She remembered the events of the New Year in an instant, couldn't it be that her parents sent the letter out for a long time, and they cheated her, right?
She returned to the factory full of resentment, and before she arrived at the factory gate, she saw her beloved Brother Ma.
"Brother Ma, why are you here?" She happily trotted two steps and asked happily.
Ma Jianbing forced a smile and said: "Three days later, it will be our big day, I'm afraid that you are not ready here, so come and take a look." ”
He looked left and right, and someone was looking at them at the gate of the factory, and hurriedly pulled Wang Mei out, saying as he walked: "There are many people here, let's go to the front for a walk." ”
Wang Mei was so happy, she had already put the anger just now behind her, and at this time, her mind was full of Brother Ma, and she obediently followed Ma Jianbing away.
The two of them first pressed the road according to their previous habits, and seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Ma Jianbing asked tentatively: "Ami, we are about to get married, I'm so happy, but it's really tiring for you to handle these things alone." ”
Wang Mei shook her head sweetly and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, I'm not tired at all. ”
The two of them gossiped a few more words, and Ma Jianbing suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, when will your second and third brothers arrive?" Can my brother-in-law come too? When the time comes, I'll arrange a place for them to stay. Hey, it's not easy for them to come back, so let's ask them to stay for two more days. ”
Wang Mei's face changed immediately, and Ma Jianbing's heart, who had been paying attention to Wang Mei's face, sank little by little.
"This time, this time, there is an activity in their school, Aiguo is an organizer, there is no way to ask for leave, Ali is the same, hey, their school is the top school in the country, there are many activities in it, and they are cadres inside, so they can't ask for leave." Wang Mei didn't dare to tell the truth, so she had to pull out the reason that their school was busy, just because she was afraid that Brother Ma would be disappointed in her.
Ma Jianbing didn't believe Wang Mei's words at all, obviously, her relationship with her second sister and third brother was not as good as she said, if the relationship was good, she would not not come back.
She's been lying to him before!
Therefore, this family business is really not much necessary. (To be continued......)
