That night, perhaps Liu Hui saw that the old branch secretary was in a heavy mood, so she didn't stop the two from drinking again.

However, Wu Yuan stopped him: "Dad, there are so many of us today, and we don't drink more." ”

There were still four taels of wine left in the bottle.

It's perfect for a drink.

The old branch secretary heard the intentions and worries of the little son-in-law, and readily agreed.

A meal of wine was drunk, and then a bowl of rice was delicious.

After eating, Yang Luoyan took the opportunity to ask: "Dad, don't you want to eat at our house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today?" ”

Yang Zhishu put his hand behind his back: "That's not good!" It's just a matter of eating at your house on weekdays, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is done at your house, what's going on? ”

Wu Yuan is indispensable in this matter.

As in previous years, it is also good for each family to bring some food and go to the old branch secretary's house to make it.

Otherwise, there are so many people who come to visit the New Year, and when they look at this cold pot and cold stove, they can't hang their faces.

Sending the old branch secretary away, Wu Yuan fed the dog as usual.

Then he took out a few pieces of felt cloth from the garage and covered the water tank on the roof of the stove.

Tonight is the eve of the snowfall, and the temperature is sure to hit a new low, and the tank may freeze.

Of course, the felt cloth cover is only secondary.

The most important thing is the earth heating in the stove room under the water tank, and the firewood and coal cannot be broken.

In the living room, Lin Miaomiao held the remote control and watched it happily.

Wu Yuan picked up the Beiyin Daily that was left in the corner of the sofa, looked at the report on Poland's name change, and thought thoughtfully.

Just then, the phone on the coffee table rang.

Yang Luoyan, who was wearing a sweater, picked it up easily, and then handed it to Wu Yuandao: "Professor Lu's phone number." ”

Lu Wenqing's voice on the phone was particularly excited: "Brother Wu, the old man is going to Shanghai for the New Year, and the boss has asked me to prepare and report to the old man in person." ”

Wu Yuan smiled: "This is a good thing, Professor Lu." Don't forget each other! ”

Lu Wenqing was a little proud and said, "Brother Wu, don't make fun of me, a stinky old man." I have a rare opportunity to show my academics, which is not compatible with wealth. If you want to be rich, you have to rely on you, Brother Wu. ”

Wu Yuan's words changed: "Brother Lu, what do you think about Poland's affairs?" ”

Lu Wenqing said succinctly: "If it weren't for a series of things that happened in Europe, I wouldn't have been so excited to report to the old man this time." ”

Wu Yuan comprehended and said with a smile: "Then I wish Brother Lu success, I am waiting for your good news in Beigang!" ”

Hanging up Lu Wenqing's phone, Wu Yuan's mood suddenly brightened.

Being in the process of history, it is inevitable to be immersed in it and unable to withdraw.

But Lu Wenqing's phone call reminded him.

He should stand a little higher and see a little further.

As he spoke, Rhubarb outside began to take the lead in yelling.

Someone again.

caused Xiao Jiang and Yueyue to run crookedly to the glass door and look straight at the gate.

Soon, Wu Yuan heard a group of voices.

At least three or five people.

So he got up and went out, walked to the gate, and finally saw the man clearly: "Master, Fifth Master, why are you here?" ”

Fourth Master Qiao stiffened his face and didn't speak, followed by Senior Brother He Yunhui who was carrying a gift.

Qiao Wuye opened his mouth and came: "I didn't see you in the newspaper, so I came to touch your fame." ”

As a result, Qiao Gangfeng said in a word: "Boss Wu, these old couples have wanted to come a long time ago." This is not the time to pick this black light to blind the fire because you can't save face. ”

Wu Yuan hurriedly took out a cigarette and walked around everyone, and then quipped: "Master and Fifth Master thought I was late for the gift this year, so they came to wake me up, right?" ”

The group entered the house, and the temperature in the house immediately rose by a few degrees.

Yang Luoyan took Lin Miaomiao and poured water for everyone.

In the end, Wu Yuan did not accept the gifts sent by the two old men.

pushed back and forth, and in the end, He Yunhui and Qiao Gangfeng said that they gave it to them, and it had nothing to do with the two old men.

Wu Yuan took a look, yo, this is prepared.

So he handed it over to his daughter-in-law Yang Luoyan to deal with it, and treated it the same as other masters.

This is treated equally.

So Wu Yuan was right, but he couldn't stand the two old men standing still and not leaving, so He Yunhui and Qiao Gangfeng couldn't do anything.

This kind of polite etiquette of pushing back and forth in the countryside is really too head-wrenching.

Until the end, Wu Yuan said: "Master, Fifth Master, you have to leave so many gifts, anyway, I will send it to you tomorrow, it's a big deal to bring it back." ”

After some good talk, he sent away the master and the fifth master.

Back in the house, Wu Yuan was sweating.

The people in the countryside are really tired.

If no one in the family thinks about it, it is inevitable that there will be inconsiderate or negligent places.

When Wu Yuan took a shower and returned to the sofa to collapse, the eldest niece Lin Miaomiao came over again and said, "Uncle, what should I do with my mother?" ”

Wu Yuan asked rhetorically, "What did Baojun say?" ”

Lin Miaomiao pouted and said: "What Baojun means, stretching out the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife." Hmph, what idea can he have! ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Yuan nodded and said: "Baojun's idea is good, and the problems that can be solved with money are not problems." ”

Lin Miaomiao said forcefully: "I'd rather spend the same money on you, uncle, than on my mother." Thinking about what she did, I felt panicked. ”

Wu Yuan said angrily: "To reconcile with your mother is to reconcile with yourself." You kid, why can't you open your mind? ”

Lin Miaomiao said stiffly: "Then have you reconciled with her?" ”

"With your third aunt here, I can at least not worry about your mother so much. After all, I am also your uncle, her mother's family. ”

Maybe he listened to what he said, and the next day on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Lin Miaomiao took Zhao Baojun, who came over, to the county.

Daughter-in-law Yang Luoyan finished breakfast and went to the county store and factory to have a look.

The store is going to be open until the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but the factory is about to have a holiday.

Silver Santana sent Yang Luoyan to the county and came back.

Only then did Wu Yuan take the car to give gifts to his father-in-law's house, Master and Fifth Master Qiao, as well as the third sister Wu Xiuhua's house and Director Liu's house of the Water Conservancy Bureau.

This slip down, and the day passed.

When I came back in the evening, I also brought Xiong Wen and Xiong Wu and their children home.

These two children didn't go to their uncle's house to play during the summer vacation, and they couldn't help but talk about it during the winter vacation, as if they were missing something this year.

Xiaowen has jumped a lot, but Xiao Wu has developed a little horizontally.

This child is only a little more than 1.6 meters tall, and his lateral development is too early.

As a result, when he returned home with the two children, Wu Yuan found that the children of the fourth sister Wu Fanghua's family also came.

Wen Qiang and Wen Ya came, and Wu Yuan was not surprised.

Wen Yong was also willing to come, which made Wu Yuan's uncle a little relieved.

There were five more children in the family, and the small building immediately became lively.

Zhong Wenya even said mysteriously: "Uncle, I heard that the third aunt's family will soon have a sister......

Happy New Year, Yanzu!
