Chapter 324: Doing as the Locals (2)
Xu Jinnian also took out the red envelope that had been prepared and stuffed it to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi was soft in accepting red envelopes, but he found that the people who took the red envelopes were all women, and he couldn't help but feel a little weird when he saw a man taking the red envelopes to her.
Xu Yuanzhou, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Jinnian, it's not that you don't know our customs here, this is the first time that the elders give red envelopes to the juniors, and you are not an elder, what are you doing to make a fuss?" β
Xu Jinnian finally got the opportunity to talk to Xu Yuanzhou this time, he said with a smile: "Yuanzhou, what you said is wrong, I am your cousin, and I am also the elder of my younger siblings, plus my parents did not come, isn't it natural for me to give a red envelope to my younger siblings?" β
Xu Yuanzhou didn't think much about it, in terms of being able to argue skillfully, he was not Xu Jinnian's opponent when he beat him a child, so he asked Lin Ruoxi to accept his red envelope.
When Lin Ruoxi took the red envelope, he felt that his red envelope was obviously heavier and thicker than other people's red envelopes, so he deliberately quietly put the red envelope aside....... π Ό.ππΎπππ .βπ€π
Xiang Ming didn't know that there was such a custom before, so he didn't prepare a red envelope, seeing that everyone was giving red envelopes, how could he miss such a good opportunity to get closer to the private relationship between Xu Yuanzhou and Lin Ruoxi? He felt in his pocket and found that he didn't bring cash, and the clever secretary Xiao Chen knew that he was also going to wrap a red envelope as soon as he saw Secretary Fang's movements, so he quietly invited Secretary Fang to the side, and whispered to the other party: "Secretary Fang, you didn't bring cash, right?" I just have some, not much, I don't know if it's enough. β
Xiang Ming secretly admired the secretary Xiao Chen's flexibility in his heart, and at this time, regardless of his leadership status, he hurriedly asked Xiao Chen: "How many?" β
Xiao Chen lowered his voice and whispered, "I only brought 2000, is it enough?" β
Although Xiang Ming thinks that 2000 is a bit less, he can't get his hands on it, but this will be a while, where to get cash?
He had no choice but to nod and say, "2000 is 2000, is there a red envelope?" β
One of Xiao Chen's cousins got married two days ago, and there happened to be some unused red envelopes in the car, so he hurriedly said to Xiang Ming: "Yes, yes, I'll get it right away!" β
After speaking, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd, ran to the parking place, and quickly took the red envelope back and stuffed it into Xiang Ming's hand.
Xiang Ming stuffed the 2,000 yuan into the red envelope, wrapped it, and then walked in front of Lin Ruoxi, handed the red envelope to Lin Ruoxi, and said earnestly: "Brother and sister, in a hurry, there is no preparation, although Yuanzhou and I used to be colleagues, but we are like brothers, a little careful, we must accept it." β
but
Lin Ruoxi didn't answer.
He is the daughter of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and his father is in charge of cadres, and she knows very well in her heart what it means to give gifts between cadres in the officialdom, which is completely different from the red envelopes that Xu Yuanzhou's elders rewarded, that is pure human favor, and it will be returned in the future, but cadre gifts are another matter, he can't cause any trouble for his father, this is her bottom line, even on such an important day today, with such an excuse.
Neither can that.
"Secretary Fang, I have received your wishes, but I can't accept this red envelope." Lin Ruoxi said with a smile, but his tone was resolute and non-negotiable: "Since you and Yuanzhou are as close as brothers, and the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, this is more pure." β
Xiang Ming's face was imperceptibly embarrassed, but he began to admire Lin Ruoxi in his heart, saying that Secretary Lin was an honest official, close to Zhu was red, close to ink was black, and his words and deeds taught him by word and deed, which can be seen from her daughter's behavior today.
Lin Ruoxi's words made him know what to do in the future, and his heart couldn't help but be enthusiastic.
Xu Yuanzhou, who was on the side, was afraid that Xiang Ming would be embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "Xiang Ming, there is no need for this between you and my brothers, it's better to keep it simple." β
After speaking, he quietly blocked Xiang Ming's hand holding the red envelope.
When Lin Ruoxi finished receiving the red envelope, someone here began to shout: It's open, it's open!
The country has a banquet, and it is not as particular as the people in the city.
There are two tables in the hall of the Xu family, one main table and one table, which are for today's most distinguished guests and high-ranking people to sit.
There are three tables in a row on the concrete floor outside the door, and the people sitting are basically people from Xiaoqiao Village's own village.
Lin Ruoxi was naturally invited to the top of the main table today.
Because Xiang Ming and Xu Yuanzhou were colleagues of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the secretary of the county party committee of the county, they were naturally invited to the main table, and Xu Jinnian was arranged in another hall in the hall.
Although Lin Ruoxi can drink a little wine, but on the night she came, Xu Yuanzhou had already given her a vaccination, telling her that no matter how people persuaded her to drink, she would say that she didn't drink at all, and the men and women in Xiaoqiao Village could drink, otherwise, even if there was a large amount of alcohol, it would not be able to resist.
So after the banquet at noon, Lin Ruoxi replaced the wine with tea, and he was very sober, but Lin Yuanzhou was a little dizzy, but it was okay, he was not drunk.
