Lin Xuemei's husband is a deputy director of the Ministry of Commerce, and the couple have two sons and a daughter, who live in the living quarters under the Ministry of Commerce.

When she walked into the house with a big bag, Lin Xuemei's daughter immediately stepped forward and asked Lin Xuemei: "Mom! Why did you come back so late today? ”

Facing her daughter's inquiry, Lin Xuemei put the bag in her hand on the table and said to her daughter with a smile: "Jiajia! Look, this is the New Year's goods sent by my mother, there are five catties of pork in it, and my mother will cut some of it later, cook a bowl of fried meat with chili, and give you and your two younger brothers a tooth sacrifice. ”

When Jiajia heard Lin Xuemei's words, she immediately reached out to open the cloth bag on the table, and when she saw the pork belly in the cloth bag, she happily urged Lin Xuemei: "Mom! I've already heated up the Erhe noodle steamed buns, and my dad should be home at this point, so hurry up and stir-fry. ”

Lin Xuemei heard her daughter's urging, and complained to Jiajia angrily: "Jiajia! I've just come home, you've got to give me a breather! ”

"Xuemei! Tomorrow is the New Year, why would you cook meat tonight? Lin Xuemei's husband pushed open the door and walked into the house, and a strong smell of meat immediately permeated the tip of his nose, making him can't help but ask in the direction of the kitchen.

Lin Xuemei's eldest son, Zheng Chengcai, heard his father's inquiry, and happily introduced to his father: "Dad! Today, my mother's unit sent New Year's goods, more than you sent last year, a total of five catties of pork, three catties of eggs, five catties of white flour, two catties of peanuts, two catties of melon seeds, Mom saw that we haven't eaten meat for a long time, so I cooked a little to relieve our hunger. ”

Lin Xuemei's husband Zheng Zhonghua heard the situation introduced by his eldest son, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, because he knew that their Ministry of Commerce's New Year's goods this year only had two catties of pork and five catties of white flour, and Lin Xuemei's unit issued much more New Year's goods than their unit.

Thinking of the world of the distribution of New Year's goods by ministries and commissions, Zheng Zhonghua asked Lin Xuemei with a curious face: "Xuemei! Didn't your unit's New Year's goods be sent at the same time as ours? Why did it suddenly send it early? And so much more? ”

Lin Xuemei put the freshly fried chili fried meat on the table, and introduced Zheng Zhonghua with a smile: "Lao Zheng! This is not our unit's New Year's goods, but our department's delivery. ”

When Zheng Zhonghua heard Lin Xuemei's introduction, he asked Lin Xuemei with a shocked face: "Xuemei! How can you have money to buy New Year's goods? ”

Lin Xuemei heard Zheng Zhonghua ask about the source of the New Year's goods, and replied happily: "We have a public fund in the department, which is specially used to receive guests. ”

At more than six o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo's car stopped at the door of the Lou family mansion, and Lou Zhenhua, who was waiting in the house, heard the movement outside the door, and immediately walked out of the house quickly, and greeted Wu Pingshan and his son warmly: "Old Wu! Director Wu! You are welcome to come to your home. ”

Wu Aiguo heard Lou Zhenhua's words, handed the invitation letter in his hand to Lou Zhenhua, and said to Lou Zhenhua with a smile: "Lou Dong! Didn't you ask me on the phone in the morning, what exactly is a surprise? The mystery lies in this invitation letter in my hand. ”

When Lou Zhenhua saw the invitation letter handed to him by Wu Aiguo, he was still secretly wondering in his heart, what did Wu Aiguo do when he gave him an invitation letter, until he heard Wu Aiguo's words, and quickly took the invitation letter from Wu Aiguo's hand, opened it and read it carefully.

"Director Wu! Is this true? Did the Government Council really invite me to the welcome dinner for the Chinese New Year's Eve? After reading the content of the invitation, Lou Zhenhua's mood became extremely jealous, and he confirmed the news to Wu Aiguo with a face full of disbelief.

Wu Aiguo heard Lou Zhenhua's inquiry, saw the other party's excited expression, nodded with a smile, and replied, "Lou Dong!" Because of your contribution to our country's foreign exchange earning work in the past six months in Xiangjiang, coupled with the batch of materials you gave to the country free of charge, Mr. Ji specially entrusted me to send you this invitation letter. ”

Since discovering that the wind was not in the right direction, Lou Zhenhua dismissed the family servants as soon as possible, changed his high-profile style in the past, and lived a low-key life while looking for a way out for the future of the Lou family.

Until one day, Lou Zhenhua accidentally heard about Wu Aiguo from his daughter Lou Xiao'e, so he became friends with Wu Aiguo, and finally at a dinner at Li Huaide, he successfully met Wu Aiguo.

At first, Lou Zhenhua befriended Wu Aiguo with the mentality of knowing one more friend and one more road, and under his intentional or unintentional contact, he finally became a good friend with Wu Aiguo's father, Wu Pingshan.

Through Wu Pingshan's relationship, Lou Zhenhua became the private manager of Red Star Trading Company under the operation of Wu Aiguo, worked in Xiangjiang for half a year, created a large amount of foreign exchange for the country, and received tens of millions of dollars in dividends from it.

As a businessman, Lou Zhenhua did not feel complacent about his achievements in Xiangjiang, because he knew that if their Lou family wanted to live in Kyoto City safe and sound, they must be recognized by the upper echelons, and the invitation letter handed to him by Wu Aiguo was proof that he had been recognized by the upper echelons.

Lou Zhenhua took the invitation letter excitedly, and thanked Wu Aiguo with a grateful face: "Director Wu! Thank you! ”

At the invitation of Lou Zhenhua, the father and son of the Wu family followed Lou Zhenhua into the Lou Mansion.

"Brother Patriot! There you are? Lou Xiao'e saw Wu Aiguo walking into the hall from the outside, and immediately happily stepped forward to greet Wu Aiguo.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e running towards him, Wu Aiguo greeted the other party with a smile and said, "Xiao'e! Long time no see! ”

Lou Xiao'e heard Wu Aiguo's words, saw the invitation letter in Lou Zhenhua's hand, and asked Lou Zhenhua with a curious face: "Dad!" What are you holding in your hand? ”

Lou Zhenhua, who was in a happy mood, heard Lou Xiao'e's inquiry, and happily said to Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e! This is an invitation to the welcome dinner held by the Government Council, and this year, I was invited to attend by the Government Council. ”

When Lou Xiao'e heard Lou Zhenhua's introduction, some baby fat faces showed shocked expressions, and hurriedly confirmed to Lou Zhenhua: "Dad! Are you telling the truth? ”

Lou Zhenhua heard Lou Xiao'e's inquiry, and replied happily: "Of course this is a true thing!" ”

When Lou Xiao'e heard Lou Zhenhua's answer, she immediately took the invitation from Lou Zhenhua and opened it directly.

When Lou Xiao'e saw the content on the invitation, she immediately ran in the direction of the kitchen with the invitation, and shouted happily: "Mom! Mother! ”

Lou Zhenhua watched his daughter run towards the kitchen with the invitation, and greeted Wu Pingshan and Wu Aiguo father and son with a smile: "Pingshan! Director Wu! Dinner is almost ready, let's take a seat! ”
