Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 160 The Best Gift
After breakfast the next morning, after drinking the three bowls of farewell wine that the villagers did not put down, Wu Ming and his entourage bid farewell to the villagers in Tianjia Village, drove back to Shangrao, and transferred to Huanggu Town.
When the convoy stopped when it arrived in the north of Shangrao City, Wu Ming instructed Li Weixiong, the commander of the baggage company, to take his prayer post, take a trip to Shangrao Administrative Office, and then set off straight to Huanggu Town.
The convoy arrived at the big sunscreen in the south of Huanggu Town, Wu Ming saw Steve stop in front of him and came down directly, and circled around a familiar Dodge car on the side in surprise, Wu Ming was a little strange, parked the car and went down, and immediately became happy when he saw the license plate number: "Oh a damn, what a cowardly Dai Ziran, called me to ask for five more days off, I thought he really had something at home, but I didn't expect this guy to sneak here for the New Year, a typical heavy color light friend."
The brothers looked at the Dodge car, immediately understood, and laughed, Wu Ming ordered everyone to take down the gifts on the car, and walked side by side with Chengzong to the town.
Tian Zhenggang didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly grabbed the happy Steve and asked what was going on.
Steve, who really wanted to see his old classmate Dai Ziran's ugliness, immediately told Tian Zhenggang what happened, and Tian Zhenggang learned that Dai Ziran, the chief of the operations section of the Ludao Headquarters, and Wu Ming's sister-in-law Chen Yi were getting better.
The Chen family's compound was already busy at this time, and Master Chen San rewarded the clever Tuan Ding who came to report the news with a smile on his face, and Tuan Ding thanked him happily, turned around and slipped away.
Knowing that Wu Ming led a group of brothers to Dai Ziran, who suddenly arrived, he was so anxious that he circled in the center of the main hall, and after the last day, he ignored the advice of his mother and cousin Dai Zichen, and hurriedly threw down the sentence "You don't know how damaged his mouth is", so he pulled Chen Yi, who was pretty and crimson, and ran to the back room, looking like he was going to hide in Chen Yi's boudoir, which made Chen Jiyao and the third wife Ha Luha laugh in the hall.
Dai's mother and cousin Dai Zichen, who accompanied her son to get married, were embarrassed, and could only blame Dai Ziran for being ignorant, and had to laugh with everyone.
Wu Ming arrived soon, Chen Jiyao led his family to greet him at the gate of the courtyard, and after saluting each other, Chengzong stepped forward to help Chen Jiyao go inside, and Wu Ming asked the three masters who accompanied him: "Are there any distinguished guests in the house?" β
Master Chen San knew that Wu Ming did it on purpose, and he had to squeeze out a smile and answer:
"It was the people of the Dai family in Hangzhou who came to propose, arrived yesterday evening, and this morning the lord and wife accepted the gift, and this family affair is settled
"Okay, it's time to drink the wedding wine at noon, and a few firecrackers will be put on to celebrate later, haluha" Wu Ming popped out of his mouth, and then ignored it, strode up the steps, making Master Chen San embarrassed.
Under Dai Zichen's introduction, Wu Ming respectfully saluted Dai's mother:
"Auntie has not visited you and Uncle Dai for so many years, I beg forgiveness here, the younger generation only represents the 5,800 officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade of the First Division of Zhejiang Security, thanks to Auntie for cultivating an excellent officer for the party-state army, Lieutenant Colonel Dai Ziran, who is full of talent and learning, has been diligent and diligent for several years, and has been named an outstanding officer of the year every year, and is deeply respected by the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade, and I am deeply honored to be able to work with Lieutenant Colonel Dai Ziran."
There was silence in the hall, and everyone was stunned, and it took a while for Dai's mother, who was fair-skinned and dignified and graceful, to react, and hurriedly returned the salute, thanking Wu Ming for taking care of her son.
Wu Ming immediately made a gesture of support, asked Dai's mother to sit down, turned to Chen Jiyao and his wife, sent a few auspicious words for the New Year, and took out two oak boxes with exquisite carvings full of foreign characters and respectfully presented them.
Chen Jiyao and his wife took it with a smile, Chen Jiyao put it on the coffee table next to him, and excitedly asked Wu Ming to sit on the side, asking how Wu Ming was doing?
The third aunt opened the box too curiously, and then let out an exclamation, staring at the golden women's watch in the box with wide apricot eyes for more than ten seconds, before reaching out a slightly trembling hand to take out the watch: "It's too beautiful, it's too precious......"
All eyes looked at the shining gold watch in the third aunt's hand, and Dai's mother, who was sitting under the third aunt's head, was extremely shocked when she saw the watch.
The third aunt hurriedly showed it to her, and asked quietly in a low voice: "I'm afraid this watch will cost three or five hundred oceans, right?" β
Dai's mother suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Three or five hundred? Don't let you see, this is only the Shanghai Concession has sold the latest Swiss Rolex women's watch, gold and platinum special, I heard that the whole world is less than 2,000 yuan, ordinary people have money can not buy, the price...... I can't say for sure, but I'm sure I'll be able to buy half a street of your town
The third aunt was so frightened that she almost jumped up, Dai's mother grabbed the watch nervously, fortunately it didn't fall to the ground, took a long breath, and when she turned her head to look at Wu Ming, she found that this guy was sitting straight and was respectfully answering Old Man Chen's inquiry.
After a while, Chen Yi, who sneaked out, came to her mother's side, and after reading the beautiful female watch, she was immediately anxious, and ran to Wu Ming to lie coquettishly: "Little brother, where is my gift?" β
Wu Ming thought for a while and pointed to the box next to a large pile of gifts: "How could you forget the gifts for you, those boxes are all there." β
Chen Yi excitedly ran over to open the box, saw that it was all English novels and medical books, returned to Wu Ming in annoyance, and shouted loudly: "You are partial to the kind of women's watch I want you to give to your mother." β
Wu Ming explained very seriously: "No, it's not that I am reluctant to give you a watch, but this watch can't be given to an unmarried young woman, you look for Dai Ziran, let that guy buy a piece and give it to you, that guy has money and never wants to spend more than 200 yuan a month on military salaries, three days and two ends of the autumn wind everywhere, he has saved at least more than 10,000 oceans in recent years, you go to him, bring him all the money, save him all day long"
"Little sister, you are still young, you don't understand a lot of things, but now that you are engaged, there are some things you should understand, if you don't believe it, ask your mother and Aunt Dai, this man, if you have money, you want to learn badly, no matter if you can't do it, you have to start from now on, take good care of Dai Ziran's pocket, and make amends, it's not too late."
Everyone laughed loudly, Chen Yi was so ashamed that she hid her face and left, Steve covered her stomach and squatted down with a smile, Chen Jiyao and Chengzong were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, Dai's mother laughed while blaming Wu Ming for not talking nonsense, and the third aunt covered her mouth too much and smiled like a flowery smile, feeling that Wu Ming was really thinking about her sister.
Only Wu Ming didn't laugh, he lit a cigarette by himself, and then looked around, making everyone laugh again.
Dai Zichen reluctantly walked to the cramping Master Chen San and asked him to call his younger brother Dai Ziran out, otherwise he didn't know what unpleasant words Wu Ming's stinky mouth would spew out later.
Wu Ming didn't say anything more, Dai Ziran didn't dare to come out to embarrass him, until he heard that Commissioner Wang was also coming, Dai Ziran and Chen Yi quietly slipped out of the boudoir and asked where Wu Ming, the little maid who helped him find out the news, was there?
The maid pointed to Chen Jiyao's study, Dai Ziran thought about it for a long time, so he could only walk slowly to the study, and before he reached the door of the study, he was attracted by the conversation between Wang Daohan and Wu Ming.
I only heard Wang Daohan say with emotion: "Thank you, virtuous nephew, if it weren't for your help, please mobilize Director Xu of the Central Party Department to mediate, I can't keep this black gauze hat, I'm afraid that Governor Xiong will really send someone to raid the house to ask for the crime, and I'm afraid to think about it."
Wu Ming said politely: "The key is that your outstanding achievements in governance in the past few years have impressed Minister Chen and Director Xu, who value solid and talents, otherwise I can't help if I want to help, as for the matter of taking advantage of the construction of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway to acquire land at a low price in advance, and then sell it to the Ministry of Railways at a high price, there are no fewer bureaucrats all over the country, and a few Haoqiang in Zhejiang are even more blatant, aren't the three aunts and six mothers-in-law of his Xiong Shihui family also secretly Yu?" Why is it that as soon as a few villains who are jealous of you complain, he Xiong Shihui wants to attack you? Isn't it just bullying you that you have no backstage and want you to spit out the fat that you eat in your stomach? Since he doesn't show affection, do we still save face? Don't worry, it's all right. β
Chen Jiyao's sigh sounded: "It's really that there are people in the court who are good officials, virtuous brothers, I'm afraid you have to thank a few nobles from the Central Party Department." β
"It's certain, certain, it's ready." Wang Daohan hurriedly said.
Wu Ming smiled kindly: "Minister Chen is famous for his two-sleeved breeze, and he never accepts gifts, let alone money, and Director Xu is not short of money, so there is no need to thank them, otherwise it may backfire." If you want to thank me, thank me, how can Xiong Shihui and they all think now that our Zhejiang Provincial Security Department has intervened in the matter of Shangrao, otherwise where would he be silent? Right? In this way, we can't be notoriety without any benefits, am I right? β
The voice reached Dai Ziran's ears outside the window, shocking him to a froze spot, his mouth moved and he couldn't help but sigh: "My God, how much should this be......"
"Who's sneaking around out there?" Wu Ming's voice came.
Dai Ziran was taken aback, and hurriedly sorted out the report of the military appearance and walked inside: "I didn't expect the brigade seat to come in a busy schedule, and the subordinates have missed the distance, please punish the brigade seat."
"Yo ho, you Dai Ziran is out of breath, you don't make a draft when you tell lies, you just open your mouth and come, haluha" Wu Ming sarcastically, Chen Jiyao and Wang Daohan immediately grinned.
Who knew that Dai Ziran was out of his mind, puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Thank you for the teachings of the brigade, the subordinates have not done enough, and they still need to continue to learn from the brigade."
Chen Jiyao and Wang Daohan laughed, and Chen Yi, who was hiding at the door, rushed in happily, pulled Dai Ziran's arm and praised: "Ziran, you are awesome and should deal with him like this"
Wu Ming was depressed, and when everyone finished laughing, he pulled Dai Ziran over and whispered: "If you hear something, hide it in your heart, go back and share it with you, send you to Shanghai for ten days, and send Chen Yi back to school by the way, if you really like that watch, you take Chen Yi to Shanghai to buy it, count it as the engagement gift I gave you, and I'll give you the address and phone number of that Ai Youde, just look for him." β
Dai Ziran was overjoyed, and Xie Lu Xie pulled Chen Yi out of the study without saying anything.
Three days later, Dai Ziran took his fiancΓ©e Chen Yi to his home in Hangzhou, stayed for one night and immediately rushed to Shanghai.
Three days later, Wang Daohan, commissioner of the Shangrao Administration, led a group of bureaucrats of all sizes to inspect Tianjia Village, quietly sent eight wooden boxes containing 50,000 oceans to the old village chief's house, and then ascended to the high platform in the village and generously announced:
"After the application of the Shangrao County Government and the approval of the Executive Office Meeting, the taxes of Tianjia Village, which sacrificed 26 young children for the great cause of the party and the state in the encirclement and suppression wars over the years, will be exempted from military service and labor service in Tianjia Village within two years."
