"Last time, a few of us classmates got together, drinking and playing cards. Everyone's family was well-off, and I was the poorest among our classmates. I couldn't compare with them. There was the younger brother of the director of the county government office, the brother-in-law of the owner of the county's Five Star Coal Mine, and the brother-in-law of the director of the Construction Committee..."
Uncle Song Liming was still bragging, and everyone at the table was used to it and just casually dealt with it, but Li Xiuyuan listened seriously. Uncle Song Liming had this kind of relationship, the younger brother of the county government director, was this true?
Li Xiuyuan calmly raised his glass and said, "Uncle, let me toast you. You definitely have the widest network of contacts and the most experience in our family. You even know the relatives of the county government leaders."
"Hey, we are all classmates, all classmates." Seeing that his junior Li Xiuyuan was so good at playing the supporting role, Song Liming couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Uncle, what's the surname of the director of the government office's younger brother?" Li Xiuyuan put down his wine glass and asked tentatively. His uncle was a boastful person, and what he said was half true and half false.
"The last name is Luo." Uncle Song Liming blurted out. Li Xiuyuan's heart moved. It seems that this uncle really knows him. He is not bragging. There is indeed a deputy director named Luo in the county government office, but he has not met him yet.
Li Xiuyuan wanted to ask something else, but since this was a dinner party and there were too many people, Li Xiuyuan held back, but he started to plan in his mind.
After the dinner, Li Xiuyuan and his father returned home.
"Xiuyuan, we're going to the store now. You can rest at home. Remember to come to the store for dinner in the evening." Zhang Qiuhe looked at her son and gave him instructions, then prepared to go to the noodle shop with her husband.
"Mom, I have something to do at my aunt's house tonight, so we'll have dinner there." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Huh? You just came back. What's up?"
"I can't explain it clearly. Let's talk about it later." Li Xiuyuan shook his head.
"Okay, let him handle the child's affairs himself. His aunt is not an outsider." Li Jianguo took his wife Zhang Qiuhe away.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiuyuan came out of his house. When he was about to reach his aunt's house, he did not go home directly. Instead, he bought two bottles of wine from a nearby grocery store. The wine was not expensive, just over a hundred yuan, but the packaging was very high-end.
When Li Xiuyuan knocked on his aunt's door, his aunt Li Simin looked at him with some surprise.
"Xiuyuan, why are you here? Come in." Li Simin was obviously a little surprised. She had just seen her nephew at noon, so why was he here again?
"Something's up." Li Xiuyuan put down the wine he was carrying. His aunt Li Simin immediately frowned: "You kid, you're here, why are you still carrying something? Bring it back later and give it to your dad."
"Aunt, this is for my uncle. I want to ask your help with something." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
"If you want to help, then help. Why do you need to take anything? We are a family. Wait, I'll go call him. He drank some wine at noon and he hasn't woken up yet." As the aunt said this, she went into the room to call for help.
Looking at this scene, a smile appeared on Li Xiuyuan's lips. What can I say about my uncle-in-law? Although he likes to brag, he is still good to my aunt. When he was young, he was always busy outside and was often away from home. That would have been fine, but he hasn't brought the money back yet.
