The Rebirth of 88 Begins with a Carpenter

Chapter 269

Wu Yuan said without changing his face: "Okay, this is not a bad thing. Don't take it too seriously. You will ask Bao Jun to take this gift back tomorrow. It is not easy for you two to save some money all year round."

Lin Miaomiao's eyes turned red immediately, "I don't, I won't! If I want to do that, what's the difference with my mother?"

Wu Yuan felt sad and moved at the same time: "You child, why are you being polite to me?"

There was no room for a table at dinner.

Several children were arranged to sit on the stool at the coffee table.

It doesn't matter to the children, as long as there is something good to eat.

There are three sisters and two couples, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law are very restrained.

Correspondingly, the third sister and his wife must have something to say when they come this time, but they haven't said anything until now.

The meal was eaten peacefully and quietly.

In the calm, went down a bottle of Moutai.

Wu Yuan still wanted to drive again, and the eldest brother-in-law Lin Xianxue was also looking forward to it, but the third brother-in-law Xiong Gang refused to let him say anything.

Full of wine and food.

The elder sister and his wife left.

Only now did Xiong Gang have the opportunity to mention it: "At noon today, Director Liu and his wife invited us to dinner at the county guest house."

Wu Yuan frowned: "This is a good thing."

Xiong Gang handed Wu Yuan a cigarette and said, "Director Liu meant what he said, and he will work for another year next year. If it goes well, he will bring me to the bureau."

Wu Yuan pondered and said: "The next year is very critical, third brother-in-law, you must be steady, and don't make any mistakes in your work."

"I know." Xiong Gang exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "But you also know about water conservancy, so you can't say for sure."

"Then prepare more, be prepared!" Wu Yuan reminded: "When you go back, you should prepare more flood fighting and emergency supplies. If you are short of money, tell me, and I will sponsor you in the name of the furniture factory."

When it comes to money, Xiong Gang is quite cautious: "Is this necessary?"

He really didn't want to be like the elder sister and his wife, always taking wool from Yaodi.

Wu Yuan said in relief: "Anyway, you are not doing it for yourself. It is the vital interests of many ordinary people to keep our town from disaster."

Only then did Xiong Gang move his mind and said, "Then I'll go back and investigate, and I'll tell you if I really need to."

After the two of them said this, they saw the third sister Wu Xiuhua pulling the two children, Xiong Wu and Xiong Wen, and wanted to take them back.

Xiong Wu was fine, with a reluctance on his face, but he was still very obedient.

But Xiong Wen couldn't do it, crying so much that it was a grievance.

As soon as Wu Yuan saw it, he hugged him distressedly and said: "Third sister, you two will bring it tomorrow. Fourth sister's three children are also here, let them play together for one more day."

Wu Xiuhua's face softened, but she still warned Xiong Wen sternly: "If you still dare to do this tomorrow, see if I won't break your leg!"

Xiong Wen hid in Wu Yuan's arms, not even daring to look at Third Sister.

28. Hair the face.

Early in the morning, daughter-in-law Yang Luoyan got up to make a face-to-face meeting, leaving Xiaojiang and Yueyue to sleep until they woke up naturally, and then woke up Wu Yuan.

Just as Wu Yuan held the two children in his arms, tears of grievance still hung on his little face.

Lin Miaomiao barged in with both sleeves blank: "My aunt told me to hurry up, but it was still a step too late."

Wu Yuan asked, "Help your aunt steam the steamed buns?"

"Well, my aunt sent out three large pots of noodles, and said to steam them more, and let me take some back. But I don't want to take them!"

"You have the right to bring food to your younger siblings. Don't disappoint your aunt's kindness."

Yang Luoyan was very busy with Lin Miaomiao.

The few children who couldn't help were very quiet, all leaning on the sofa and watching TV.

Seeing Wu Yuan coming, the child Wen Ya insisted on sitting on the old uncle's lap, and said with a reluctant face: "Old uncle, after the new year, you can pick me up early, okay?"

What can Wu Yuan say about this playwright little niece?
"Okay, the old uncle will drive to pick you up early in the morning of the second day."

Zhong Wenya immediately beamed with joy.

Zhong Wenqiang resurrected directly on the spot.

Only Zhong Wenyong looked at his younger siblings with a frown, feeling that they were always causing trouble to his uncle.

In fact, being able to bring the children together and play carefree for a few days is a kind of New Year in itself.

When the children grow up one by one and can no longer play together, the taste of the year will naturally fade a lot.

More than three o'clock in the afternoon.

The steamed buns are almost ready, steaming several baskets of steaming big white steamed buns.

It's a joy to watch.

Fourth sister Wu Fanghua and Zhong Zhentao came, followed by Zhong Zhenyuan.

The car rode into the yard, and when they got off the car, Wu Fanghua praised Yang Luoyan and said, "Sister and sister, your steamed buns are so beautiful, much whiter than my steamed buns."

Yang Luoyan happily said: "Bring some back to Fourth Sister, Wen Yong and the others really like it."

Wu Fanghua quickly declined and said: "That's no need, I can't finish the steamed ones at home."

On the other side, Zhong Zhenyuan followed Zhong Zhentao to meet Wu Yuan. He was still moving with a half-nylon bag in his hand.

"Boss Wu, there isn't much good stuff in the house, just a little bit, don't dislike it."

"Master Zhong, look at how polite you are. We have cooperated for so long, and we still treat ourselves as outsiders."

Zhong Zhentao interrupted: "It's not a good thing either. The eels he and his friends caught by themselves are worthless."

While speaking, Zhong Zhenyuan poured a three-finger-thick rice field eel into a large wooden basin and filled it with water.

Several children gathered around the basin, none of them were afraid.

Xiong Wen even dared to reach out to grab the slippery thing, but Wu Yuan stopped him.

Wu Yuan and the Zhong brothers lit a cigarette together and chatted in the yard.

Zhong Zhentao said, "Brother Yao, have you read the newspaper recently?"

Before Wu Yuan could answer, Zhong Zhenyuan said first: "Look, Boss Wu is really photogenic, and now he is a celebrity in the whole county."

Zhong Zhentao flicked the cigarette ash, but said, "I didn't mean that."

Wu Yuan's heart moved: "Fourth brother-in-law, what are you worried about is the general direction of the country and major actions?"

Zhong Zhenyuan was a little confused.

Zhong Zhentao nodded heavily and said, "This year, the country has retreated and the people have retreated. Although your factory is developing like a raging fire, in fact, most ordinary people dare not bring it to the table to say what kind of life they are living."

"In addition to the fact that there is no rest abroad, I am really worried that if I retreat, it may be more sad than it was more than ten years ago."

But Wu Yuan refilled the two cigarettes with a relaxed expression: "No way, fourth brother-in-law. I can tell you some news."

Zhong Zhentao said indifferently: "You are always too optimistic." Then he asked: "What news?"

"According to my friends in Shanghai, the old man just arrived in Shanghai recently."

"Oh?" Zhong Zhentao became excited immediately, and then asked suspiciously: "What can he explain when he comes to Shanghai?"

Wu Yuan reminded: "Don't forget, the circles in Hainan and Shencheng were all drawn by him himself. He went to Shanghai this time during the Chinese New Year, can't he explain the problem?"

Zhong Zhentao pondered: "At best, you may be right. But at worst, no one can be sure about this matter."

Wu Yuan didn't bother to argue: "Then wait a few months and watch again, everything will be decided naturally."
