Chapter 354: Birthday Celebration

"Be an official!" Wang Xu shook his head: "Grandpa, you better spare me, I'm not an official, I can't stand any kind of constraints, in fact, I really don't have any ambitions." ”

"Wang Xu, why are you talking like that?" Han Guanglin interjected: "For the first term of office, for the benefit of one party, although there are more rules, it is also a kind of exercise, and the chief is also for your good." ”

"Secretary Han, I'm really not that material." Wang Xu said with a smile: "Actually, my goal is to open a small clinic, see a few patients if I have nothing to do, and do something if I have the ability, I don't want to restrain myself, you and grandpa think too highly of me." ”

"Okay, if you don't want to, forget it, I won't force you, you must know that this is an opportunity, and if you miss this village, there will be no such shop." Shen Lao said.

"Grandpa, I know, I know what you mean, but I still think it's good now." Wang Xu said.

Although he is a little busy now, what he does is always based on his own temperament, and what he does is what he is interested in.

Although people often say that the upper doctor heals the country, the lower medicine heals the sick, if it is not a good appearance, it is a good doctor, and it is not so easy to save people and heal the country, but it is not so easy to heal the country.

It's good to say in troubled times, now is the peaceful and prosperous era, at this time officialdom is more sinister than in troubled times, Wang Xu is very self-aware, he is absolutely not suitable for death in officialdom, intrigue, intrigues, intrigues, a careless may die without a place to be buried, and even bones and scum are not left.

This officialdom is definitely a point of no return. Once inside, you can only move forward. There is no way out, there are not many examples of working hard in it all your life, waiting for the final retirement, and leaving halfway.

Now that Shen Lao is here, with Shen Lao covering, maybe he will have smooth sailing, but when Shen Lao is gone, he will stand taller. The worse the fall.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Xu doesn't like that environment and atmosphere, he is now opening Fushengtang and running Rising Sun Pharmaceutical, although the original intention of founding Rising Sun Pharmaceutical is also because of the recession of traditional Chinese medicine, but it is something he likes.

"It's hard to buy if you have money." Wang Xu's heart was open.

"Alright, you go out. I'll talk to Xiao Han. Seeing that Wang Xu was unwilling to be an official, Shen Lao was not reluctant, waved his hand to Wang Xu, and drove Wang Xu out.

When Wang Xu went out, Shen Lao said: "Xiao Han, it seems that this kid is indeed not the material to be an official." Without this mind, no matter how good the talent is, it is useless. ”

"Actually, Wang Xu is not bad like this, I am very optimistic about his Rising Sun Group, you can rest assured, as long as it is in Jiangzhou. I can still help him as much as I can. Han Guanglin said.

"I'm not worried about this kid, he can cause trouble. can also do things, it's much better than those in our family, so don't care about him. Shen Lao smiled: "This time Liu Run emphasized that he should go, Wen Changgong from Shizhuang City will go to Jiangzhou, Wen Changgong should know about this person, and try to stabilize the situation when the time comes, you will only go to Jiangzhou, there are still a few years to go." ”

"Don't worry, chief, I know this," Han Guanglin said.

Wang Xu is not here at this time, if you hear the conversation between the two here, you should hear that this is Wen Changgong, the secretary of the municipal party committee of Shizhuang City, is going to be transferred to Jiangzhou as the governor, he went to Shizhuang some time ago, and it is not a rumor to hear the news that Wen Changgong is going to be transferred, but it is different from what others speculated, Wen Changgong is a step further and has become the main part of the Eight Classics.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Wang Xu, he doesn't enter the official career, so he honestly opens his own clinic and runs his own pharmaceutical factory, no matter who goes to Jiangzhou to be the governor, it will have little impact on him.

Wang Xu walked out of Shen Lao's study and came to the courtyard, Shen Zhengqi was gone, maybe he went to greet someone again, Shen Fei was accompanying several people from the Peng family and the Bai family in the courtyard, and in addition, there were many more people.

"Come on, Wang Xu, come here." Shen Fei saw Wang Xu and greeted Wang Xu with a smile.

"Wang Xu, let me introduce you, this is my uncle Jiang Changling, this is" Shen Fei smiled and introduced everyone present to Wang Xu.

Wang Xu has seen several people from the Bai family just now, and the other people who came are from Shen Fei's grandfather's family, Shen Guang's grandfather's family, and several cousins of their Shen family, who are the children and grandchildren of Shen's elder brother, Shen Lao is 100 years old this year, but his younger brother has been dead for many years.

The people present are all descendants of the Shen family, either relatives and friends, or friends, although Shen Lao's birthday is tomorrow, but they usually come to celebrate their birthdays today.

Shen Fei introduced several people to each other, the older people gathered in a circle, and a group of younger people formed a circle and chatted with each other.

When they talked until half past twelve at noon, the Shen family began to have lunch, and the place to eat was in the courtyard, and several large tables were placed in the center of the courtyard, and someone had already set up the seats.

When a group of people sat down, Shen Lao and Han Guanglin came out of the study and had lunch at noon, Shen Lao, the birthday star, naturally wanted to come out to show up, and this time was also the time to celebrate his birthday.

Don't look at Shen Lao's identity is not ordinary, the people who came to congratulate him on his birthday were divided into several waves one after another, and the serious birthday was also tomorrow, but the birthday celebration at home was at noon today, and He Zhenghong made a special trip back.

The center of the courtyard has long been arranged, and a table of eight immortals is placed in the center, and behind it is a wooden screen, on which is a large character for longevity that is finely carved, and on it is placed the longevity peach and longevity noodles and the like.

Shen Lao and Han Guanglin came out, Shen Zhenghong and Shen Zhengqi hurriedly stepped forward to help Shen Lao sit down on the edge of the Eight Immortals table, and they sat down on a table near the edge of the Eight Immortals table in turn.

At this time, the table is also exquisite, the first row near the Eight Immortals table is Shen Zhenghong, Shen Zhengqi, Shen Bingjie and other children and daughters-in-law, on the side is the Peng family, the Bai family and the descendants of Shen Zhenghong's generation, and Shen Zhenghong's father-in-law's family is the same. Further back are a group of grandsons such as Wang Xu and Shen Fei, and then a group of descendants such as the Bai family and the Peng family.

This kind of pomp is far from Shen Lao's identity, but Shen Lao himself is not particular, he spends his birthday like this every year, although this year is his 100th birthday, he does not make a big deal.

"Dad, I wish you a long life and happiness like the East China Sea, my son specially asked Master Rong to write a birthday message." After Shen Lao sat down, Shen Zhenghong and his wife Zhao Chen were the first to come forward to celebrate his birthday, and at the same time took out the congratulatory gifts he had prepared. The Master Rong in He Zhenghong's mouth naturally refers to Rong Xudong, one of the two calligraphy masters of Beirong and Southern Zhou, whom Wang Xu introduced to Yang Han two days ago.

"Oh, yes, yes." Shen Lao smiled and nodded, looking at the children and grandchildren below, he was also relieved, in this life, there are a few people who can celebrate their 100th birthday.

After Shen Zhenghong celebrated his birthday, it was Shen Zhengqi and his wife, Shen Zhengqi's birthday gift was also a calligraphy and painting, the true handiwork of Qi Baishi in the Qing Dynasty, and the birthday gift was not light.

Their two sons celebrate their birthdays every year, and the congratulatory gifts are different every year, which can be regarded as a heart, and the value is secondary.

In previous years, when Shen Zhengqi and his wife celebrated their birthdays, it was the turn of the Peng family and the Bai family, but this year, there were more Shen Bingjie and Wang Yimin.

Shen Bingjie's matter may not be very clear to outsiders, no one here today does not know, twenty-five years ago insisted on marrying a farmer, and since then he has had a falling out with Shen Lao, how many years, I didn't expect to come back this year.

Some people also know that Shen Bingjie came back because Shen Lao was critically ill a while ago, but some people didn't know, they were talking about it just now, and when Shen Zhengqi and his wife celebrated their birthdays, a group of people looked at Shen Bingjie and Wang Yimin.

Shen Bingjie and Wang Yimin also got up together and walked towards Shen Lao: "Dad, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." As he spoke, he took out the gifts he had prepared a long time ago.

At this time, Wang Xu pulled Yang Han and walked forward: "Grandpa, I wish you a long life, our family is the first time to celebrate your birthday, and there is no gift to get your hands on, it just so happened that I got something some time ago, and I asked people to create a congratulatory gift." Saying that, Wang Xu handed over the rosewood box in his hand.

It is said that Wang Yimin and Shen Bingjie congratulated him on his birthday, Wang Xu was a bit reckless to go up like this, but what he said was not bad, this was the first time that their family gave Shen Lao a birthday, and they also talked about it together.

"Hehe, okay, you have a heart." Shen Lao smiled, and Xiao He, who was standing next to Shen Lao, reached out and took the rosewood box in Wang Xu's hand, ready to put it on the Eight Immortals table on the side.

Wang Xu's box with birthday gifts is not ordinary at first glance, the best rosewood, all carved on it are longevity characters, each longevity word is very exquisite, but it is a little different, which is also the reason why Wang Xu knew that this wooden box was a birthday gift after opening the lockbox at that time.

I have to say that Gui Jianye is very concerned about Wang Xu's affairs, not to mention anything else, this rosewood box alone is definitely a good birthday gift, and several people from the Peng family and the Bai family sitting in the front row nodded straight, muttering in their hearts, Shen Bingjie really has a heart.

The people in the front row can see it, but the people sitting in the back row can't see it, some people are very disgusted with Wang Xu, the grandson who suddenly appeared, it is said that he is a farmer's son, and he flew on the branch as a phoenix at this moment.

Of course, although they have opinions, they don't dare to say it to their faces, when it comes to intimacy, Wang Xu, the grandson of Shen Lao, is much more intimate than them, so Shen Fei and Shen Guang are qualified to deal with Wang Xu.

I didn't dare to say it just now, but at this time, when I was celebrating my birthday, I shouted if I had the courage: "Grandpa, what kind of congratulatory gift did my sister-in-law give, open it and let us see." ”

The one who shouted was a young man, who was about the same age as Wang Xu, the youngest grandson of Shen Lao's younger brother, and Shen Lao's own grandsons were also Shen Fei and Shen Guang.

Hearing this shout, Shen Lao's brows subconsciously wrinkled, and the face of a middle-aged man sitting at a table in front of him suddenly changed, and it was his son who shouted just now.

Xiao He, who was about to put down the wooden box when he heard this shout, was also stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at Shen Lao, and waited for Shen Lao to speak.

"Brother He, since everyone wants to see it, let's open it." Before Shen Lao could speak, Wang Xu said with a smile, he had already guarded against this move, how could he not prepare.

ps: The second watch arrived, my head was a little dizzy, this chapter was written very tangled, I wrote and deleted it several times, and there was a change, with the support of the ticket.
