Chapter 1180 Speak Modestly
Generally speaking, in a family with both sons and daughters, most sons are responsible for supporting their parents, but his uncle, who is stupid and always listens to his wife, refuses to do that.
In her previous life, after my grandmother survived a car accident, my uncle wanted to take all the compensation and did not allow her parents to live in his newly built house, even though he took tens of thousands of dollars from his parents when building the house.
My uncle's reason was ridiculous. It was just because my aunt was afraid that my grandmother, who had just recovered from a serious illness, would collapse in their new house one day. She was afraid of having nightmares and dared not live in the new house.
If it were a normal son, he would have beaten the woman with a stick long ago, but uncle Wang Dahe obeyed her every word.
Of course my father and his sons-in-law would not agree to such a shameless and unreasonable request.
The three sons-in-law proposed two options, requiring the eldest uncle to either take the compensation and be responsible for supporting the grandparents, or not to take a penny and they would not have to take care of their grandparents in the future.
As a result, the uncle chose the latter, and Zhou Anan's father broke off all ties with the other party in anger.
Later, my eldest uncle and his wife, who were suffering from business losses and whose son was getting married, started talking about my grandparents' pension money. They said that their future daughter-in-law's family had paid for the new house and they had to pay for the renovation, but they didn't have enough money.
There are so many weird people in the world, and he only met two of them.
Now the Zhou family is thriving. Under his arrangement, my grandparents work as a married couple of security guards in a large factory. None of the bad things have happened, and my eldest uncle and his wife have a pretty good relationship with their family.
It can even be said that my uncle and his wife were more polite to their family than to the other two families.
A rich man has distant relatives even if he lives in remote areas. His ability to know the right dish for the right person is fully demonstrated in his uncle and his wife.
"Uncle."
When she reached the gate of the community, Zhou Anan looked at her uncle and his wife, as well as her two cousins, who were waiting there and looking around, and called out to them casually, neither enthusiastically nor distantly.
"An An, the neighborhood your family bought has a great environment."
Wang Dahe, holding fruits and gift boxes in his hands, saw his nephew and said something with a smile, his face showing the same honest and shy expression that had not changed for many years.
"It's OK."
Zhou Anan still maintained a perfunctory attitude towards this uncle who had not yet revealed his cold nature.
You should look at the face of others, after all, he is my mother's only brother, I can't just ignore him.
"An An, what was the price when you bought your house? I heard that the house prices in the city went up like crazy last year, so your parents managed to buy it."
Looking around the environment of the community along the way, my aunt Liu Caili inquired about the housing prices here with great interest.
Just now when she was chatting with the security guard at the door, she heard that the housing price here is more than 10,000 yuan per square meter, and a 100-square-meter house costs over one million.
The house of my sister-in-law Wang Jingyu is said to be 150 square meters, which would cost at least one million and five hundred thousand yuan, not including the cost of decoration.
With the income of the couple, they will never be able to buy a house here in their lifetime.
Alas, why did she marry such an incompetent husband?
This time, I must get some benefits.
"fine."
After hearing what her aunt said, Zhou Anan responded without comment.
If he was indifferent to his uncle's behavior, then his impression of his aunt, who was the instigator of the previous life and who seemed a bit mean at first glance, could be described as disgust. There was no need to say a few more words.
"An An, how much did it cost to renovate your house?"
"have no idea."
…
Along the way, Zhou Anan dealt with topics that her uncle and aunt wanted to talk about to get closer, and finally brought them home.
On the contrary, the two more introverted cousins didn't say a word the whole time, as if they were two invisible people, so Zhou Anan didn't pay any attention to them.
Soon, my uncle-in-law, two cousins, and my cousin Zhou Shun all came over from work.
Naturally, so many people would not eat in the new house. Even if they ate standing, the dining room would be too crowded, not to mention the whole lot of things like cooking and cleaning the kitchen.
In order to celebrate his family's move, Zhou Youliang specially booked three tables of banquet in a fishing village on the other side of the river across the community.
That was the farm house that Zhou Anan had visited during her high school reunion. The environment and price were pretty good.
"Brother An?"
Zhou Anan was accompanying her parents at the front desk talking to the waiter about serving the dishes when she heard a shout and turned around to see Secretary Tong who had a look of leadership.
Well, this name is not appropriate now. It would be more appropriate to call it Lizhou No. 5.
"Brother Tong."
Zhou Anan stepped forward and shook hands with the other party. She noticed the other party's eyes and introduced her parents with a smile: "This is my dad and my mom. Mom and Dad, this is Brother Tong."
"Hello, Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou."
Looking at the parents of his younger brother who were more than ten years older than him, Tong Ziqian smiled and greeted them, not caring about his current status at all.
According to normal logic, although he is Lizhou No. 5, it is unlikely for him to make friends with a younger brother who is worth hundreds of billions and has connections.
"You are Deputy Tong..."
After shaking hands with the other party, Zhou Youliang saw that the other person looked familiar and shouted in surprise.
On the day when Tianrun Supermarket opened, the leaders of Lizhou City came to inspect, and the other party was among the leaders. However, Zhou Youliang did not have the opportunity to say much to him at that time.
The most important thing is that the other party’s hometown, Tong Village, is right next to Zhoushui Village.
With such a big figure emerging, the villagers of Zhoushui Village often talked about him when chatting, and Zhou Youliang had naturally heard of him.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually knew my son and seemed quite familiar with him.
"Uncle Zhou, let's just talk about our own things. Just call me a kid or be modest."
Hearing the other party was about to call out his position, Tong Ziqian humbly brought the two sides closer.
In terms of status, the younger brother is a person that an ordinary county leader like him can hardly get in touch with. Having these two in his jurisdiction provides him with an additional link of communication.
"Dad, it's ok to call Xiaotong outside."
Seeing that General Manager Tong was so polite, Zhou Anan smiled and asked her father to change his words.
It's rare to see my dad in such an awkward state, this is quite amusing.
"You kid..."
Seeing his son being disrespectful in front of Lizhou No. 5, Zhou Youliang couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson.
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, I just happened to have something with An An, can I borrow your room?"
Before the little brother's father was about to start the education mode, Tong Ziqian looked at the other party, smiled and pulled the other party out.
"Wife, why do you think our son and Mr. Tong are so familiar with each other?"
After ordering the dishes, Zhou Youliang, who was a little distracted, asked his wife beside him in confusion.
"You ask me, how do I know? Our son is so outstanding, it's not normal for him to know one or two leaders."
Today, Wang Jingyu is very proud of his son's excellence. All unreasonable things can be explained by his son's excellence.
"That's true."
Zhou Youliang, general manager of Tianrun Supermarket, also had contact with city leaders on a daily basis. After listening to his wife's words, he felt that it was reasonable and temporarily let the matter go.
On the other side, Tong Ziqian walked to the corridor beside the pond and handed a cigarette to the other party. Seeing that the younger brother didn't want it, he lit it himself and said, "Brother, I want to ask you a favor?"
He pulled his younger brother out just now not just to help the other party out, but because he really had something to find him for.
"Brother Tong, are you talking about the renovation of the pedestrian street?"
As soon as Zhou Anan heard what Executive Vice President Tong said, she guessed the other party's intention and asked back with confidence.
If there is one thing that can make the other party ask for advice, it is the renovation of the pedestrian street.
I guess after our last chat, the other party must have taken it to heart and done some research.
But while it is okay to let leaders make decisions, the specific implementation still needs to be done by professionals.
Otherwise, if an amateur commands the professionals, the result will be a mess and the pedestrian street will not improve at all. Secretary Tong, who has no political achievements yet, certainly does not want to fail at the start.
“…cough cough cough…”
Looking at his younger brother's self-righteous look, Tong Ziqian took a puff of his cigarette and almost choked.
After finally calming down the smile in his heart, Tong Ziqian talked about his main purpose: "It's still early for the renovation of the pedestrian street. What I want to ask you today is related to the second phase project of Zhoushui Village Cooperative."
“…”
