Because the Spring Festival was approaching, Song Ziqiang did not live in the provincial party committee compound these days, but returned to the Song family's ancestral house in the provincial capital.
In fact, this is also the tradition of the Song family for many years. Not only Song Ziqiang has returned, but even Song Yanqiang's family has returned to the ancestral house from Wuxi to celebrate the New Year.
The presence of the two brothers of the Song family in one place at the same time also attracted those who wanted to make connections and walk around. When Li Yuan came near Song Jiazu's house, he noticed several luxury cars parked by the side of the road. And the owners of these luxury cars, like Li Yuan, came to pay New Year's greetings to the two brothers of the Song family.
Of course, the Song brothers are not ordinary people, and not everyone can pay New Year's greetings to them. In fact, 99.9% of the people who come to pay New Year's greetings never see them at all. But even so, there are as many people who come to pay New Year's greetings—everyone hopes that they are lucky enough. If Governor Song and Mayor Song happen to be in a good mood and agree to see him, that would be a big deal Is it a good thing? This kind of mentality is similar to most people buying lottery tickets, hoping for a "just in case".
When Li Yuan came outside Song Jiazu's house, he found that there were already more than a dozen people waiting here. Many people's faces were full of tension and anticipation, and they obviously hoped that they would be the lucky one.
Li Yuan noticed that many people were carrying beautifully packaged gift boxes, and just by looking at the appearance, they could tell that the things inside were of great value, which also made him feel secretly amused. After all, based on Li Yuan's understanding of the Song brothers, he knew that they didn't like this at all. Even if anyone is lucky enough to meet the Song family brothers, he will be kicked out because of these precious gifts.
In fact, the appearance of Li Yuan also attracted the attention of others. Looking at Li Yuan, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and was young. Especially the gifts he brought were all agricultural products, and many people showed contempt on their faces.
In the eyes of these people, this young man is too ignorant. How can he bring a few chickens and some vegetables to the governor for New Year's greetings? Now this age. Even if you go to relatives and friends' homes during the Chinese New Year, no one will bring such a gift. And Li Yuan actually brought these things to pay New Year's greetings to the governor, isn't it too childish
But Li Yuan didn't care what others thought, he called Song Zhicheng immediately after arriving: "I'm here, where are you?"
"Oh, I'm helping my mother pick vegetables!" Song Zhicheng immediately said to Li Yuan, "Wait for me for a while. Wash your hands and come out."
"Okay." Li Yuan responded briefly, hung up the phone and waited for Song Zhicheng to come out.
A middle-aged man next to him looked at Li Yuan with a smile and waited for him to finish his phone call before he came over and said, "Little brother, is this your first time to pay New Year's greetings to the governor's family?"
There is nothing to hide, Li Yuan nodded and said: "Yes."
"I knew it at a glance." The middle-aged man nodded, and said with a true expression: "Then I will rely on the old man to say a few words. These gifts of yours... Haha!"
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't these gifts good?"
"The other party is the governor's family!" The middle-aged man said in a low voice with an expression of "you can't figure it out", "I haven't seen any good things before, but you only bring these things, it's too childish Right? Even if you are lucky and have the chance to meet the governor, they will definitely kick you out immediately when they see these things you brought!"
Li Yuan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe Governor Song likes such a gift?"
A fat man wearing glasses next to him heard the conversation between the two, looked at Li Yuan with disdain and said, "Old Wang, why are you talking nonsense with this kind of person? Young people nowadays are so self-righteous, and they can't do it unless they suffer a little bit." Know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!"
Li Yuan knew that Lao Wang reminded himself that it was out of good intentions, so he chatted with him casually. But the fat man wearing glasses at the back obviously looked down on him, so Li Yuan naturally wouldn't give him a good look. Immediately asked coldly: "I would like to know, how many times have you met Governor Song?"
Hearing Li Yuan's question, the fat man also looked embarrassed. In fact, they are not qualified to pay New Year's greetings to the governor, they just stay here, hoping to be satisfied by showing their faces in front of the governor when Song Ziqiang's family comes in and out.
But the fat man quickly turned from embarrassment to anger, and he gave Li Yuan a vicious look and said, "Even if I have never seen it, you are just like me?!"
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the door of the Song family's old house opened. Everyone immediately looked in that direction nervously, hoping for good luck.
Of course, it wasn't Song Ziqiang brothers who came out, but Song Zhicheng and Song Yuxin brothers and sisters. They are also important members of the Song family, Lao Wang, Fatty and others naturally know each other, but the Song Zhicheng brothers and sisters don't know them. Seeing Song Yuxin's brother and sister come out, everyone's spirits were lifted, and they hoped that they would have good luck.
Under the gaze of everyone, Song Ziqiang's brother and sister went straight to Li Yuan, who "knows nothing about the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth". Song Yuxin just nodded to Li Yuan lightly, as a greeting. And Song Zhicheng hooked Li Yuan's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Why did you come, uncle and my dad have already asked several times."
"I'm not familiar with the road." Li Yuan said with a smile: "And I brought a live chicken, and I hailed several taxis and they wouldn't let me get in."
"Call me, I'll pick you up in a car." Song Zhicheng said, "Helping my mother pick vegetables almost bored me to death, I just wanted to go out to get some air..."
The two walked away while talking like this, and soon went back to the house with Song Yuxin. Only a group of people with dull expressions and broken glasses were left outside.
Lao Wang, who was still "reporting" Li Yuan before, came to his senses first, and ran out while muttering in a low voice. The fat man wearing glasses felt strange, and quickly asked him loudly, "Old Wang, where are you going?"
"Go buy chicken and vegetables!" Lao Wang's voice came from afar: "Didn't you see what that young man brought? What do you need to ask?!"
Inspired by Lao Wang, this group of people quickly disappeared, and they all went to the nearby vegetable market to buy things.
At the same time, Li Yuan had already met Brother Song Ziqiang. Compared with last time, Song Ziqiang's complexion has improved a lot. Now his face is rosy, and he speaks with full of air, and looks full of energy.
When Li Yuan saw Song Ziqiang last time, he felt that he was obviously older than Song Yanqiang. And when I saw Song Ziqiang again this time, he looked about the same age as his younger brother Song Yanqiang.
Li Yuan knew in his heart that this was naturally the effect of the golden bead, which not only restored Song Ziqiang's health, but also made his complexion better and better.
It was precisely because Song Ziqiang recovered his health that everyone in the Song family was in a good mood, and they were naturally more grateful to Li Yuan. So as soon as Li Yuan entered the house, he was warmly received by Brother Song Ziqiang. (To be continued.)
ps: that. . . . There will be two changes today, and three more changes tomorrow.
