a week later.
Today is New Year's Eve.
Dong Xuebin arrived at the unit early. There was basically no one in the compound. It was much less than the previous days. There were only about 20 scattered people still standing on the last shift. Today, it was actually already It's considered a holiday, but there are still some final things to deal with. After finishing them, everyone can go home for the New Year's dinner at noon, so everyone who comes to work can see some absent-minded emotions on their faces, and they are not here at all in their hearts. They have already drifted back. Family, with the exception of Dong Xuebin, he doesn't care.
"Director Dong."
"Happy New Year to you."
"Have a good New Year, Director."
We met and everyone said hello.
Dong Xuebin also wished them a happy New Year.
Among the civil servants who came today, Dong Xuebin is probably the one with the highest official position, so along the way, several people from other departments asked him about his work and asked him when he could go home, which Dong Xuebin also did The owner directly told them to clean the office and organize the documents, and then they could leave. This was actually his plan, as he would go home for lunch at noon.
…
Two places.
office.
One person comes in and another person sorts out the files.
Dong Xuebin finished it quickly and looked at his watch. It was ten o'clock.
At this time, Xie Huilan's phone rang on her mobile phone.
Dong Xuebin answered, "Hey, Huilan, when will you come back? I'm waiting for you."
"Haha, I might not be able to do it today." Xie Huilan said with a smile: "Things here haven't been settled yet, and there is a social event that I can't put off. There is something going on in the first and second grades of junior high school. You can tell my parents and old man later. Come on, I can’t go back today. Well, try to make time to go back on the fourth and fifth day of the Lunar New Year. My son, I’ll stay here with you, Sister Xie. I’ll call you in advance when I get back.”
Dong Xuebin smacked his lips and said, "It's just you."
"Sister Xie, aren't you busy with something? Do you think it's easy to be the secretary of the municipal party committee? Everyone is on vacation and there's no one to make decisions. What's the matter that I can't handle?" Xie Huilan said.
Dong Xuebin said: "Then I have to go home during the New Year. I'm still waiting to see my son."
Xie Huilan said: "Okay. Let's go back in a few days. I will take my son back in a few days, haha."
"Anyway, hurry up." Dong Xuebin snorted and said, "If our parents are angry, I won't bear it for you. You can explain it yourself."
Xie Huilan smiled and said: "They can understand. Just prepare gifts. Buy something for the old man and my parents, and it will be ours."
"Okay, I know." Dong Xuebin said.
Xie Huilan said: "That's it, I'll leave it to you."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebin shook his head, seeing that there was still plenty of time. I picked up my mobile phone and made a few calls to the leaders of the Discipline Inspection Commission and a few leaders who had to be called, such as Han Fei's father Han Zhenghe. I called them one by one to say New Year greetings, and some of them needed text messages to say New Year greetings. Dong Xuebin also sent a group message to several subordinates of the Second Division and his old subordinates. He thought about it. In fact, as a leader, he does not need to pay New Year greetings to his subordinates. However, Dong Xuebin was more particular about it, so he did so. It's not a bad thing to let everyone feel how much you care and miss them. It's sent in bulk anyway, so it won't waste much time.
Then, Dong Xuebin also received a lot of phone calls and text messages to express New Year greetings. After probably more than an hour, it was already 11 noon.
Come on.
It's time to go home.
Dong Xuebin packed up his things and went out, locking the door of the second office. As the highest-level leader left in the ninth room, Dong Xuebin also had some sense of responsibility in his heart. Mainly because Fang Wenping had told him before, so Dong Xuebin He also went to other departments to check a few times, until he was sure that there were no problems in several departments and the doors were locked, he went downstairs, got in the car, and drove to Mr. Xie's Xishan Villa.
…
morning.
It's past eleven o'clock.
Dong Xuebin arrived at Mr. Xie's house and got out of the car. Of course the guard knew Dong Xuebin and would not stop him. He gave him a salute. Dong Xuebin didn't rush in. He was so talkative. The two armed guards chatted for a while and wished them and their families a happy New Year. Then they walked into the villa. Suddenly, Han Jing, Xie Guobang, Xia Yanzhen, Ci Lifen and others appeared in front of them.
"Xiao Dong is here?"
"Happy New Year to my parents, my aunts and uncles, my second aunt and my second uncle, happy New Year."
"Haha, happy New Year to you too. Will Huilan come back?"
"Well, she just called me and she can't come back. There's a lot going on over there."
After entering, Dong Xuebin chatted with the elders and saw Xie Jing, Xie Ran and Xie Hao. He also said hello with a smile.
Xie Hao was the most direct, reaching out and calling: "Brother-in-law, lucky money!"
Dong Xuebin laughed and said, "How old are you to still get lucky money?"
"Then I don't care, you have to have mine anyway!" Xie Hao pestered him, "Give it to me, give it to me, I want to buy a computer, but I don't have enough money!"
Dong Xuebin was speechless, but he still took out three thick red envelopes from his bag. If each one costs 10,000 yuan, it would be 30,000 yuan. "Here, give it, look at your virtue!"
Xie Hao laughed, grabbed it and opened it. Sure enough, they were all one million, a total of thirty thousand yuan. Xie Hao couldn't help but kiss the red envelope hard, "Brother-in-law! You are my idol!"
Dong Xuebin slapped him on the head and said, "You kid."
Xie Jing looked at Dong Xuebin eagerly, "Brother-in-law, I also want a gift."
Xie Ran laughed out loud, "How old are you, and you still need lucky money?"
"I don't want lucky money, I want gifts." Xie Jing said with a smile.
Dong Xuebin flipped through the bag and said, "Everything is there." He had already prepared it, so he took out a few small boxes of jewelry and gave them to Xie Ran and Xie Jing respectively. Looking back, Xie Jing's girlfriend Sun Kai At this time, he came in from the door. Dong Xuebin also gave him a watch. Of course, the things Dong Xuebin gave him were not cheap. At least they were tens of thousands. He was always very generous.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
"Brother-in-law, thank you."
Xie Jing and Xie Ran both thanked them.
Dong Xuebin started to pay New Year greetings to Xie Guobang and Han Jing again, as well as elders such as Xie Guoliang, Xia Yanzhen and Xie Guojian. They gave gifts one by one. Of course, they were all given by him and Huilan. He had bought these things these days. , worked overtime for a few days, and had nothing to do during the break. Dong Xuebin visited a lot of places.
The one given to the mother-in-law was a ruby necklace.
What I gave to my father-in-law is a set of ancient books that are extremely valuable for collection.
Just as the gifts were delivered here, the door at the back opened again. Xie Guoyue, an old girl from the Xie family, her husband Hou Xingan and their son Hou Ming also came. Everyone talked to each other a few times. Dong Xuebin also gave his own gift and gave it to Xie Guoyue gave Hou Xing'an a LV bag, a leather bag, and Hou Ming a wallet, which also contained New Year's money. In fact, except for Xie Hao, almost all of these juniors are older than Dong Xuebin. However, Dong Xuebin’s wife is Xie Huilan, the eldest sister of the Xie family. Naturally, he is also the eldest brother-in-law. There is nothing wrong with giving some lucky money. Anyway, He has so much money that he can't spend it out. It's Chinese New Year, so he naturally has to show off.
Han Jing felt a little sorry for her son-in-law, "Don't buy something so expensive next time."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "It's okay, Mom, it's just a little thought."
Xia Yanzhen also brought the diamond necklace Dong Xuebin gave her and said: "They are all from my family, just say what you like. It is indeed too expensive for you, haha, but my aunt likes it very much. It is so beautiful."
Xie Jing smiled and said: "Yes, my brother-in-law gave such a good thing, and Sun Kai and I felt that we couldn't give it away. We don't make much money, and we can't compare with my brother-in-law. Please bear with me." Xie Jing thanked Ran and they also gave it away. The gifts he gave to his elders all cost thousands of dollars. Obviously they couldn't compare with Dong Xuebin, but they had no intention of comparing. Dong Xuebin was too rich and the eldest brother-in-law of the younger generation of the Xie family. No need to compare.
Only Xie Hao was amused when he saw people asking for New Year's money. This one got five thousand, and that one got two thousand. He was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. "I love the New Year!"
Xie Guoyue smiled and said: "Where is my dad? Why didn't you see him?"
Dong Xuebin also blinked and said: "Yes, where is the old man? I still have gifts here."
When Han Jing heard this, he paused, sighed and said, "Guoyue, you are in Dongshan Province. I never told you, just because I was afraid that you would worry about running back and forth."
Xie Guobang, Xie Guoliang, Xie Guojian and others also looked bad.
Xie Guoyue and Hou Xing'an were stunned, "What's wrong?"
Dong Xuebin didn't hear anything at all. "Mom, what's going on?"
"The old man is sick." Han Jing pointed to the direction upstairs. "He is lying in the room, and he is still receiving infusion. He will definitely not be able to get out of bed today, and he will probably not be able to get out of bed in a few days."
Dong Xuebin stared and said, "What disease?"
"Heart disease, high blood pressure, are all diseases of the elderly." Han Jing said.
Dong Xuebin chuckled, "Then why don't you tell me?"
Han Jing looked at him, "Who doesn't know that you are such a serious kid? I told you that you will definitely have to rush up and down. If you tell Huilan again, she will have to run back, and she has to work over there. I have to take care of my children and I’m very busy, so I didn’t tell you two.”
Xie Jing obviously didn't know "How long has grandpa been sick?"
"It's been a month." Han Jing said, "I haven't been in good health this month. I've taken a lot of medicine and seen a lot of doctors, but I haven't felt better."
Speaking of this topic, the atmosphere in the living room of the villa also became gloomy.
Firstly, Mr. Xie is their elder, and they have always had a deep relationship with each other. Secondly, Grandpa Xie is the signature of the Xie family, the backbone of the Xie family. If there are any shortcomings, although the Xie family will not be lonely, it will definitely lose its influence. One or two levels, so no one wants anything to happen to Mr. Xie.
