Chapter 159 What a great honor!
Someone is coming from the city! Could it be that something happened to my son and he came back from the city?
Meng Fude and He Jinqiu looked at each other, and without caring about anything else, they immediately went over and opened the gate.
On the road below, several men who looked like leaders came at some point. Some of them wore Zhongshan suits, some wore western suits and overcoats. In short, just by looking at their attire, one could tell that their identities and status were not simple.
Several people, accompanied by Director Tang from the town and two staff members, were walking up step by step.
He Jinqiu was confused looking at these people.
It wasn't that his son was back, but why did they come to his house? Could it be that something happened to his son at work?
At this time, He Jinqiu still thought that these people came into the village to look for his family.
After all, in the entire village, only the Meng family has connections with the city.
He Jinqiu was about to ask what was going on when Director Tang spoke first with a smile, and asked He Jinqiu, "Sister-in-law Meng, your family is also here. It just so happens that I want to ask, which courtyard is Gu Hansong's family in?"
When he asked someone at the entrance of the village, they pointed out the direction and showed him the way. But when he got there, Director Tang realized that there were two families living side by side. Which one was it? He was a little unsure.
It turns out you're not here to look for your own home!
He Jinqiu pointed blankly to the next door and said, "This is it."
Director Tang laughed, "I didn't expect your two families lived so close to each other."
The courtyards are next to each other.
At this time, Meng Changli and Meng Shulan also came out.
Seeing that it was Director Tang and someone from the city, Meng Changli immediately went forward to greet them and helped a few people to knock on the door of Gu's house.
Soon, the gate of the Gu family opened and Grandma Wu came out. She was a little confused to see a large group of people gathered outside.
Her hearing was not very good, and because of the noise outside just now, she thought there were guests next door, but who knew they were there to visit their grandson.
"Han Song? He just left not long ago. He drove his aunt home."
Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. The eldest aunt of the Gu family brought her son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. On the way back, Gu Hansong drove her to see them off.
When Director Tang heard this, he became anxious, "Grandma Gu, how long has he been gone? When will he be back?"
Grandma Wu thought for a moment and said, "It might take half an hour to go back and forth, but if we drink tea and talk over there, I can't say for sure."
During the Chinese New Year, these things are inevitable.
Can……
Director Tang was so anxious that he was running around. He discussed it with several leaders nearby and then decided to go and find the person and bring him back immediately.
Just at this time, Ye Pingshun, who heard the noise, came, bringing with him a group of people from Shangcun who came to watch the fun.
Seeing Director Tang and several leaders standing outside the gate of Gu's house, Ye Pingshun's face changed. He trotted over to them, and without asking anything, he invited them to his home to sit down, rest, and drink tea.
Director Tang frowned and waved his hands. Not to mention that he was in a hurry to find someone and had no time to drink tea, he would not go even if he really had time.
Ye Pingshun opened a store in the town, disrupting the market and engaging in a price war with the Meng family. Although he had no control over these things, he still knew the situation.
He looked down upon this man's character and did not want to have anything to do with him.
However, this person is the village chief, and he needs to handle work even though we have no personal relationship.
Director Tang: "It just so happens that you can arrange for someone to go to the next village and call Gu Hansong back. There are so many leaders waiting here, and they need his help with important matters."
It turned out that he was looking for Gu Hansong.
What kind of help do you need him to help with?
Ye Pingshun's expression was a little subtle, but his actions were very positive. He quickly arranged for Ye Feng to ride a bicycle over to find someone.
In this way, everything was arranged, and Ye Pingshun asked a few people to visit his home.
As for the leader coming from the city, he must find a way to perform well.
Director Tang didn't want to go, but he was not alone here. Several leaders had come from far away and were tired on the way, so it was really not appropriate for him to just stand here and wait.
Director Tang looked at Grandma Wu.
Grandma Wu was stunned for a moment, then said to Meng Changli who was a few steps away: "Changli, Han Song is not here, and I, an old lady, don't know how to entertain you. How about you do a favor and invite them to your house to sit for a while."
Meng Changli was eager for such a good opportunity to show off.
"Yes, yes, leaders, please come here, sit for a while and have a cup of tea..."
Meng Changli quickly invited the group into the courtyard and took out all the best tea, fruits and cakes.
In Meng Changli's mind, she didn't know the men in coats and suits, and she didn't expect to achieve any results. But as for Director Tang, the future town secretary, she would be lucky if she could perform in front of him and leave a good impression and favor.
The Meng family's courtyard soon became lively.
Many people followed in to see what was going on.
I'm really curious, what exactly do these people want from Gu Hansong?
Some people wanted Ye Pingshun to ask, after all, he was the village chief and could ask.
But after everyone looked around, they realized that Ye Pingshun had not come in at all.
Yes, with both families in such a mess, it is indeed difficult to get in.
In fact, Ye Pingshun had planned to follow them in. Since he failed to invite this group of people to his home, as the village chief, he should still accompany them. However, he was stopped by Meng Shulan.
Meng Shulan smiled and said, "The yard is small and the space is limited. Village Chief Ye, I'm sorry, I can't entertain you."
How could Meng Shulan let him in? She wouldn't even want to give him her own tea, even if it was to be fed to a dog.
Ye Pingshun's face turned blue with anger, and he naturally didn't have the face to go back in, but he couldn't leave, so he could only stand outside.
Not far away, Ding Guixiang saw Ye Pingshun standing there angrily and embarrassedly, so she wanted to go over and invite him to her home for a visit.
Anyway, her house is not far from here, just separated by a bamboo forest, so she can see what happens.
But as soon as she made this move, she was stopped by Meng Danhong.
"You still can't understand the situation now?"
Meng Danhong held Ding Guixiang back and said, "Those leaders clearly look down on Ye Pingshun and don't want him to get close to them. Why are you trying to curry favor with such a person?"
Ding Guixiang didn't want to curry favor.
that is……
The family was not on good terms with the eldest branch of the family, and the Ye family also had a bad relationship with the Meng family. When she saw Meng Shulan giving Ye Pingshun the cold shoulder, she felt a sense of sympathy.
Ding Guixiang clicked her tongue, "What nonsense are you talking about."
Meng Danhong: "If it's not the case, then don't get involved."
Ding Guixiang looked at her daughter and said, "Girl, when did you become so opinionated?" She even started to control her as a mother.
Meng Danhong didn't want to explain too much to her. She was too stupid. She only wanted to compete with her aunt-in-law and didn't see that the gap between her family and her uncle's family was getting bigger and bigger.
Before, Meng Danhong was a little worried that Meng Shulan was involved with Gu Hansong and might suffer a loss and learn a lesson.
Now it seems that she was overthinking.
Gu Hansong is not an ordinary person either. I don’t know what he did outside, but he has become famous.
So many leaders came to invite him personally, what a great honor! How did he do it? Meng Danhong knew little about that person and couldn't figure it out.
The onlookers were also confused.
But this does not prevent everyone from changing their views on Gu Hansong.
Gu Hansong seems to be becoming more and more awesome.
