Chapter 909: So many things, where will you sit later?
Father Xiao smiled as he set up his bicycle. "I thought Yancheng would come over at noon, so I made some arrangements with my coworkers. I'll help keep an eye on him for a little longer tomorrow, so he can just come over later."
When Fu Yancheng heard this, he felt a sense of being valued, which made him feel even more cheerful. "Uncle, I have a few boxes of good cigarettes in my car. Please bring them over to share with your coworkers."
Father Xiao smiled when he heard this, but he refused, "No, no, just keep it for your entertainment."
But as he was speaking, Fu Yancheng had already walked out of the yard.
After a while, he came in with a box of Hongtashan and two boxes of Mudan cigarettes: "Take these cigarettes."
Now that they were all brought in, it would have been a bit fake for Father Xiao to refuse. He reached out and took it with a smile: "Oh, this is a good cigarette. I've only heard about it from others, but this is the first time I've seen it."
Xiao Wanpeng continued, "Peony is from Shanghai. This Red Peony is 51 cents a box. Uncle, this is a high-end product. The Hongtashan is from Yunnan. It has a plateau flavor, rich aroma, and moderate strength. It's also a high-end product. If you share this, you'll be envied."
Father Xiao listened to this and looked over the three boxes of cigarettes. "My coworkers are all very kind to me. I have to share these good cigarettes with them. The rest is just right for entertaining guests during the New Year."
After saying that, he looked up at Fu Yancheng and said, "Then I'll keep it."
The head of the Cheng family next door happened to be passing by the Xiao family's gate and heard their conversation: "Brother Xiao, your daughter hasn't even married yet, but you're already enjoying the blessing of a future son-in-law. What a blessing!"
Father Xiao heard the voice and looked over: "Oh, I like what you said. Come on, come on, smoke one too and share my blessing."
Hearing this, Cheng Baiqiu couldn't possibly refuse. He took the peony handed to him by Xiao's father with a smile on his face: "Look, I just said one more thing, and I'm blessed by you. I will definitely have a good new year."
The two chatted for a while, and then a voice came from the Cheng family courtyard: "That's enough, just take advantage of others' blessings, do you still want to eat for free?"
Cheng Baiqiu burst into laughter: "Then who am I?"
Looking at Father Xiao: "Okay, brother, I'm going back to eat first, you should hurry into the house and come back later if you have nothing to do."
I've been living here for a long time, but I only visited him when I first moved in. After that, we were just acquaintances. I didn't expect that we would become closer because of a cigarette today.
Father Xiao was in an even happier mood.
If he didn't have to work in the afternoon, he would have had a drink with his son-in-law and nephew.

On the other side, Xiao Changjiang and his wife finally got off the train.
Xiao Wanli saw that his parents brought so many things: "Mom and Dad, why did you bring so many things?"
Aunt Xiao was so distressed when she saw her son getting darker and thinner that she didn't even bother to answer his question: "Third brother, is it because you don't eat well here? Why have you lost so much weight?"
Xiao Wanli smiled and hugged his mother: "Yes, I've lost some weight, but don't you see that I've become much stronger?"
Uncle Xiao thanked the flight attendant for helping him, then looked at his son: "He has definitely become stronger, and seems to have grown a little taller."
Just as I was about to say something else, I heard someone say, "Oh, your package is blocking the road."
Xiao Changjiang apologized and said, "We'll leave now."
After saying that, he signaled his son to move things quickly.
After all the things were moved outside, the driver who came with Xiao Wanli to pick up the people asked: "Why are there so many things? Where are you going to sit later?"
