Li Jianguo pulled Zhang Qiuhe over from the door of the utility room. Li Qingqing, who was standing next to them, quickly put down the things in her hands and brought her husband Zhang Zhihao over to sit on the sofa.
Everyone looked at Li Xiuyuan with something strange in their eyes.
Originally, Li Xiuyuan didn't want to talk about this. It was just a little gift. It was a normal social interaction. Many units gave out benefits during holidays. At this time, various regulations had not yet been released.
But seeing the family like this, Li Xiuyuan still explained: "Don't think too much about it. This is just a little welfare benefit given by the unit. I work in the county government office. I usually interact with various units quite often and know the leaders of each unit. When they were purchasing unit welfare benefits, I gave some to those who were well-off."
"Just like during Chinese New Year, when many relatives come to visit, they also bring many gifts, right? That's normal..."
Li Xiuyuan's family believed his explanation, but they were still secretly shocked.
Zhang Zhihao, in particular, had heard that those working within the system didn't have to buy their own cigarettes and alcohol. He wondered, "How much can someone give me as a gift? Cigarettes and alcohol are consumables. No matter how much they give me, it's not enough for daily consumption."
But now I realize that the reason why it is not consumed enough is because we did not send enough.
It's just the Mid-Autumn Festival, not the Chinese New Year yet, and there are so many. There are also some daily gifts and other things. How can we ever use them all up?
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Qiuhe felt relieved after listening to Li Xiuyuan's explanation.
Li Xiuyuan gave another warning: "But don't tell anyone about this, it's not good."
Li Jianguo and Zhang Qiuhe nodded quickly. Li Qingqing looked at her husband and felt relieved when she saw him nod. If there was an outsider in this family, it was her husband Zhang Zhihao.
The others are all blood relatives.
Li Xiuyuan didn't care about this. He was just preparing to help prepare the reunion dinner in the evening when there was a knock on the door.
Li Qingqing went closer to open the door and found a young couple she didn't recognize standing at the door.
"Excuse me, is this Secretary Li's home?" Li Boyang and his wife Tian Yue were standing at the door, looking at Li Qingqing and asked. Li Qingqing was unable to react for a moment, she only knew that her brother's name was Li Xiuyuan.
My father's name is Li Jianguo and my name is Li Qingqing.
Who is this "Secret Li"?
Li Xiuyuan's hearing was still good. He heard a familiar voice at the door, so he stood up and went to the door. It turned out to be Li Boyang.
"Brother Li, why are you here? Please come in."
Li Xiuyuan greeted, looked at the woman next to Li Boyang, and asked, "Brother Li, is this your sister-in-law?"
"Secretary Li, I am Li Boyang's lover." Tian Yue said. Only then did Li Qingqing beside her know who this "Secretary Li" was.
"Sister-in-law, please come in. I've heard Brother Li talk about it a long time ago." Li Xiuyuan politely welcomed the two in.
There was no need to introduce Li Boyang and Wang Zhitao to the noodle restaurant at home from time to time. Li Jianguo and Zhang Qiuhe also knew Li Boyang.
