Chapter 164: Birthday Surprise
The new policy implemented by Liu Hao is proceeding smoothly and orderly within the boundaries of Luyang City.
All walks of life benefited from the arrival of the New Deal, especially business, restaurants, and tourism.
The tax paid by Luyang City to the Zhenling Court has increased from the previous 10,000 spirit coins per month to 30,000 spirit coins, and the growth momentum is rapid.
On this day, Liu Hao lay under the grape trellis, "squeak", "squeak" and shook the recliner.
"I said you're idle! Don't you have to worry about the court team? Xu Hua's voice came from behind Liu Hao.
"I should have said this to you. Ignoring so many things in Yaohai City, why did you come to me? Liu Hao didn't get up, and replied with his eyes closed.
"Hey! Can't I miss you? I haven't been in touch for months, so you don't want me? Xu Hua walked up to Liu Hao and asked condescendingly.
"Isn't it disgusting? You're not a big beauty, what do you want to do! Hurry up and say, "What are you doing with me?" Liu Hao still didn't open his eyes.
"I said, can you stop shaking? It makes me dizzy! When I'm dizzy, it's easy to forget what I'm doing. Xu Hua held his head and said.
"You're typical of not eating grapes and saying grapes are sour. If you come in two months, I can treat you to a bunch of crispy grapes. Liu Hao finally opened his eyes. He landed on his feet and stood up from the recliner.
"That's right! Be polite to me, it's so far away that it's a guest. Xu Hua said with a smile.
"Say it! What are you doing with me? Liu Hao put his hands behind his back and walked towards the stone bench.
"Don't do too much, do too much! How old are you? Do you need to pretend to be an old man in his seventies and eighties? Hey? But don't say it, your demeanor is really a bit like seventy or eighty. Xu Hua looked at Liu Hao's back and said in surprise.
Liu Hao naturally wouldn't tell Xu Hua about the damage to his origin. He sat down on the stone bench and gestured to Xu Hua.
After Xu Hua sat down, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with coming to me?" You're a busy person, so you won't come to me for a small talk. ”
"Don't sell it anymore. There are two things that come to you. First, I humbly learn from you how to better manage the city. The second thing is that I want to discuss with you about the meeting between the two Huai Mansions. ”
"Wait, what do you say? A meeting between the two Huai Mansions? Why didn't I know there was such a thing? No one came to inform me! Liu Hao said in wonder.
"The notice hasn't been issued yet! How long have you been a squadron leader? The meeting is held only once a year and lasts for one week at a time. The topics of the meeting are uncertain, but they are basically people and things related to the two Huai Mansions. The participants were squadron leaders from various cities and some families who had reached the ranks. Sometimes, the team leader who has performed well is invited to participate. ”
"As long as it's not open often. The weekly meeting of the court team was changed to a monthly meeting by me. There's no need to have a meeting! Who is it for? Wouldn't it be nice to just do things well and keep your time to yourself? ”
"I know you're bold, and the captain spoils you. If I had done this again, I would have been called to my face a long time ago! Xu Hua said unhappily with a sour breath.
"Don't go too far. I don't have much to say about the first thing you said. Just go around the city by yourself. I can let Dong Ming accompany you, and he can tell you anything you want to know. In the evening at the dinner table, we can have a good conversation about the second thing. ”
"I'll go! Is this going to drive me away? You're too impersonal, aren't you? We are still good brothers! Xu Hua blinked, feeling that Liu Hao had a secret to hide from him.
"Don't flatter me, I can't learn well, I get goosebumps when I see it. Hurry up! I'm tired and need to sleep. Liu Hao waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry up.
Xu Hua's brows furrowed, believing his own judgment. But what's going on?
Seeing Dong Ming, he asked, "What's wrong with you adults?" Why do I feel a little weird, it's not like him! ”
"Lord Xu, I can't say the specifics, if the adults are willing to tell you, they will naturally tell you. But believe me on one thing, the adult is still the same adult, and if anyone looks down on him, he will have to pay a heavy price. "Dong Ming didn't treat Xu Hua as an outsider, he could say whatever he wanted.
"I won't embarrass you. Let's go, take me to the city and have a look, I'll ask you if you don't understand something. ”
"No problem, Lord Xu, please." Dong Ming is good at dealing with people, otherwise, Liu Hao would not have sent him to do this.
At night, Liu Hao ordered someone to prepare a table full of dishes. Looking at this table of dishes, Liu Hao was a little distracted, and his heart was a little sour.
"Oops! Brothers are brothers, it's too wasteful! Xu Hua, who had been in the city for a long time, was moved by Liu Hao's heart after seeing a table of sumptuous dishes.
"Sit down! It will be eaten openly, and there will be no waste. Liu Hao suddenly lost his appetite, although he was very hungry.
"Then you're welcome! Come, come, I'll fill you with wine first. Xu Hua picked up the wine jug and filled Liu Hao's empty wine glass.
"Come on! Go for one! Xu Hua, who poured himself full of wine, raised his glass and said to Liu Hao.
"Wait a minute!" Han Fei's voice suddenly exploded in the room.
"What's wrong?" Liu Hao put down his wine glass and his expression became serious.
"I wish you a long and happy birthday. Every year there is today, and every year has a present day. Mary and Sun Wei pushed a small cart and walked into the house while singing.
On the car was a cream cake made by Mary herself for Liu Hao. Eighteen candles were lit on it, representing that he had spent eighteen spring and autumn in this world. In addition, Sun Wei also deliberately studied in the kitchen for half a day and made a mini type of Liu Hao bread. It stood in the middle of the candle with a smile on its face.
The moment Liu Hao heard the song, the expression on his face was moved, and his eyes became sour. If it weren't for his strong concentration, maybe tears would burst out of his eyes.
"It's our turn! Ready, everyone! Under the command of Lao Pan, the birthday song sounded again in the Shenhai World.
Without asking, Liu Hao understood how they knew that today was their birthday. Lao Cao, who has always been known for his seriousness, sang a birthday song for himself with a smile on his face today.
"Lord Liu, please make a wish in your heart, and then blow out the candle." Mary is dressed very beautifully today, and her glutinous voice makes Liu Hao's heart ape, and he has an urge to hug him.
I thought that today's birthday might be spent in a drink. Have you ever thought that this group of lovely people would bring such a big birthday surprise to themselves? For their sake, this wish of mine must come true.
"Phew!" After making a wish, blow out all the candles in one go.
"Share the cake!" Mary happily cut the cake. Sun Wei diligently handed the cut cake to everyone present.
"Mary, leave half of them, let them be in the joy of their birthday."
"Okay, got it." Mary naturally knew who they were in Liu Hao's mouth.
The birthday party officially began, and the banquet for five people was far more lively and jubilant than two people. Liu Hao, who was sitting at the banquet, felt very happy, and his previous sorrow was swept away.
