Xiao Qingyang is not a person who has never seen the world. When he was the mayor, he saw many people and ghosts.
But this was the first time Xiao Qingyang had seen someone call him grandpa directly.
"Director Gou, please sit down and have a cup of tea."
Mu Xue didn't feel awkward at all, but rather felt a little proud.
The eldest grandson is awesome, so what if you're the director of the Agricultural Bureau? You still have to bring expensive gifts to pay New Year's greetings, and grovel and call them grandma and grandpa.
“Thank you, grandma!”
Director Gou sat down carefully. Qu Hui didn't even dare to enter the house. He went out and waited in the car.
"Doctor Yang, I'll be leaving first."
Although Hu Zi really wanted to watch the fun, Gou Ren was obviously a leader, and Hu Zi was afraid that he would say something that he would not like to hear.
"Little brother, thank you for bringing me to Dr. Yang. Take this pack of cigarettes."
Director Gou took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into Hu Zi's pocket.
"I'm just showing you the way, how can I take your things?"
As he said that, Hu Zi was about to return the cigarette to Director Gou.
"Just take it if I give it to you. Not everyone can smoke Director Gou's cigarettes."
After Yang Baiyi spoke, Hu Zi no longer insisted. Although he didn't know what kind of director Gou Ren was, he was definitely a leader.
"Director Gou smokes."
After Hu Zi left, Xiao Qingyang gave Director Gou a cigarette and lit one for himself.
Director Gou looked at the opened Zhonghua cigarettes on the table, the melon seeds and milk candies on the plate, and the fragrant tea in the cup. The tea soup was crystal clear and it was obvious that it was of great value.
Director Gou's first reaction was to feel fortunate that he had gritted his teeth and brought a valuable gift when he came, otherwise he would have probably made a fool of himself.
People usually smoke Zhonghua cigarettes and drink such high-end tea. If you bring two Daqianmen cigarettes, not only will you not leave a good impression on them, it might even backfire.
No one knows how Director Gou managed to get through this period, and no one knows how much psychological pressure he was under.
After returning from Red Star Farm, Gou Ren didn't even go back to his workplace. He went straight to the hospital and underwent a systematic examination, but nothing was found.
Gou Ren did not give up. He used his connections to go to the city and had another check-up at the Municipal People's Hospital, but still to no avail.
Since this approach didn't work, Gou Ren started looking for traditional Chinese medicine treatment again, and this time he had some success.
An elderly Chinese doctor took his pulse and said that he had fire in his body, but it was not liver fire, but fire from the implant.
However, the old Chinese doctor only saw that there was something wrong with Gou Ren's body, but he had no way to treat it.
After a lot of trouble, Gou Ren finally accepted his fate and had to accept reality.
Since the problem cannot be solved, then just behave well. Doctor Yang said that as long as you behave well, the things in your body will never explode.
Doctor Yang can say so, but Gou Ren cannot just listen to it. He should be more sensible and show some appreciation for the three festivals and two birthdays.
Gou Ren was also a shrewd man. Today was New Year's Eve, and it was not convenient for him to stay any longer. He drank a cup of tea and got up to say goodbye. He forced all the things to stay and did not take anything back.
"Bai Yi, you are so amazing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was true."
Gou Ren's performance today was an eye-opener for Xiao Fuxing.
In the past, not to mention Director Gou, even his dog Li Hun could make them suffer so much that they were neither able to live nor to die.
But what about now? Director Gou of the Agricultural Bureau, who was once so high and mighty, was actually so servile in front of his nephew.
Today is New Year's Eve, so the New Year's Eve dinner is naturally extremely sumptuous.
Yang Baiyi stewed a pot of braised lamb, and a pot of chicken soup with pheasant and various wild delicacies. He also took out some of the soft-shelled turtles and gizzard bream that he had collected from the reservoir last time and stewed them all.
The whole family sat together and happily ate the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Director Gou's arrival this afternoon completely relieved Xiao Qingyang and his family of three, and they could not hide their excitement while eating the New Year's Eve dinner.
They knew that as long as the Agriculture Bureau didn't pursue the matter, they were basically free.
Although I can't leave too far, I don't have to stay on the farm all the time.
It doesn’t matter that the couple is old, the main thing is that Xiao Fuxing is not young anymore. How can he find a wife if he stays on the farm all the time?
The golden ginseng wine in the glass exuded an alluring aroma. Xiao Qingyang was in a good mood today, so he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
"Grandpa, I still have some tiger bone wine brewing in my room. It will be ready to drink in two months."
After Erhei hunted a big cat last time, Yang Baiyi arranged for tiger bone wine.
He didn't soak the tiger penis, as he planned to give it to his future father-in-law as a gift next year.
"Okay, Grandpa is waiting to drink tiger bone wine."
Yang Baiyi didn't say where the tiger bones came from, and Xiao Qingyang didn't ask.
The eldest grandson is a capable person. As a grown-up child, he should have his own secrets. Xiao Qingyang still respects Yang Baiyi's secrets.
The reunion dinner lasted until the early morning and the food had to be reheated three times. The little girl couldn't bear it anymore, so Mu Xue arranged for her granddaughter to go to bed and stuffed some New Year's money under her pillow.
The sound of firecrackers rang out in the village, reminding everyone that it was already past twelve o'clock and the new year had arrived.
"Fuxing, Baiyi, the two of you should go set off the firecrackers too. Let's say goodbye to the old and welcome the new."
Xiao Qingyang gave the order cheerfully.
"Okay!"
…
After setting off the firecrackers, the three younger generations knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to Xiao Qingyang and his wife to wish them a happy new year. The old couple also happily gave red envelopes to the three younger generations.
The dishes on the table were not cleared away and left on the table, symbolizing abundance every year.
The family said good night to each other and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, the whole family got up before dawn. There is a custom in the north to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Yang Baiyi's house is definitely the main target for the members to pay New Year's greetings, so they can't get up too late.
The little girl was woken up by her grandma and found the New Year's money under her pillow. She laughed in a daze.
The little girl was wearing a bright red cotton jacket and cotton pants. Mu Xue had given her a Nezha hairstyle, and she looked like a fat doll that had walked out of a New Year picture.
After finishing his first meal of dumplings of the New Year, Yang Baiyi opened the door and saw people coming to pay New Year’s greetings already waiting outside.
"Happy New Year, Doctor Yang!"
"Happy New Year, Doctor Yang!"
Everyone rushed into Yang Baiyi's house, saying auspicious words.
The brigade cadres, educated youth who went to the countryside, and the members of Chenjiatun lined up in the house to wish Xiao Qingyang and his wife a happy new year. Xiao Fuxing and Yang Baiyi were distributing things to people.
The men each had a Zhonghua cigarette, the women each had a few pieces of White Rabbit milk candy, and the children each had a few pieces of White Rabbit milk candy plus fifty cents.
By the morning, when the people paying New Year's greetings had gradually dispersed, nearly three packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and dozens of kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy had been distributed.
