"Ouch, brat, you smoked in my car."

Xu Tingsheng didn't expect his father's first reaction after getting into the car was this, and he slapped himself on the head. Xu Tingsheng knew that his father really cared about the car, and at the same time, he also wanted to adjust the atmosphere.

Shrinking his neck, Xu Tingsheng said, "Dad, don't hit me yet, I'm driving a car."

"That's right, when did you learn to drive?" Dad Xu asked doubtfully.

"I met a friend in college who owns a car. When we were playing together, I touched a few of them. His skills are definitely better than yours, but he doesn't have a driver's license yet." Xu Tingsheng said with a smile.

"No driver's license? Pull over and let me drive." Dad Xu said.

"It's okay, no one is free to stop us today." Xu Tingsheng said.

Then, Xu Tingsheng picked out the ins and outs of the incident, and explained it to Dad Xu carefully. Dad Xu was a little dumbfounded when he heard it. He originally thought that his family had just survived a catastrophe and temporarily kept Huanbu.

Unexpectedly, the son actually... quietly moved the Huang family, Libei's behemoth, down.

Dad Xu may be one of the first people in Libei County to know that the Huang family has collapsed. At this time, everything that happened on the other side of the venue is still under strict lockdown. What people discussed and speculated more about was whether the Xu family could survive this year, the reappearance of the Xu family's car, and the big banner in the shopping mall, what did it mean.

The Huang family at this time.

Huang Gui's mother said to Huang Gui: "It's almost 11 o'clock, why hasn't your father come back yet, and the phone can't be reached, why don't you go to the bureau to have a look?"

Huang Gui just got up, yawned and said, "I won't go, I don't have time, I have an appointment with a friend."

"What kind of bullshit friend, you are in your twenties, and you only know how to wander the streets with a group of punks all day long, and you have no future at all." Huang Gui's mother said.

"What do I want, as long as my dad is here. You see, I don't go to work all day and play outside, don't I soon be promoted to section chief? Besides money, do you think I can waste our family's money in my life?"

... Now I'm waiting for my uncle to bring back the supermarkets of Xu's family. They are golden chickens that can lay eggs, and they will make a lot of money for decades. "Huang Gui said.

Huang Gui's mother wanted to say that your father would be gone one day, but then she thought about it, and the New Year's Eve said it was unlucky, so she didn't say anything, and continued to wait patiently.

The Xu family father and son didn't stay in the county for a long time, but only went to Huanbu. The employees of Huangou have just received their year-end bonus at this moment, knowing that it was given to themselves by the boss's family in the most difficult situation, most of them are grateful.

It is not easy to meet such a good owner. From the heart, no one wants Huanbu to fall down or change owners.

Seeing the appearance of Xu's father and son at this moment, most of the employees were relieved, and they all came up to congratulate happily. Dad Xu dealt with them one by one, especially for Li Xiu. Dad Xu already knew through Xu Tingsheng what Li Xiu had done for the Xu family during this period of time.

"Dad, to Sister Xiu, it's not enough for us to just say thank you. Look, I've already prepared it for you." Xu Tingsheng took out a big thick red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Dad Xu.

Xu Tingsheng already knew that Li Xiu gave year-end bonuses to all the employees in Huangou's five counties and six stores, except for herself. She is understanding the Xu family.

Without any hesitation, Dad Xu took the big red envelope containing 60,000 yuan, put it in Li Xiu's hand, and said with the majesty of the boss: "Don't refuse."

"Thank you boss." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Xiu happily took the red envelope, opened it on the spot, and there was a thick stack of hundred yuan bills. This was 2004, and the year-end bonus of 60,000 yuan was definitely an appalling figure.

Whether it was the employees or the customers who were watching, there were "tsk" and "tsk" sounds in their mouths, and their eyes were full of envy.

After giving the red envelope, Xu Tingsheng stood behind Xu's father and said loudly: "Sister Xiu, do you remember what I told you? My father will definitely go home for the New Year. The Xu family's boat will not sink."

"I remember." Li Xiu smiled and replied loudly.

"After get off work in the afternoon, you can ask your child's grandma to bring the child over. I will pick you up by car and have a reunion dinner together at home."

"okay."

The red envelope was given in front of everyone, and the words were spoken in front of everyone. Li Xiu also cooperated very well, opened the red envelope on the spot, and responded enthusiastically on the spot.

This is the effect that Xu Tingsheng wanted. He wanted everyone to understand that the Xu family would stand firm, and those who were loyal to the Xu family and those who had contributed to the Xu family would never be forgotten by the Xu family.

It's not hard to imagine, when this scene spreads to five counties and six stores, what kind of enthusiasm will the employees have, and how enthusiastic the scene will be.

Even at this time, there are still several months to go, and many employees of Huangou have already started to publicize their mid-year trip to Hainan to relatives and friends around them.

The father and son just showed their faces at Huanbu, and they got in the car and left after not staying for long. But this was enough, the topic spread throughout Libei County in a short period of time, the Xu family was undefeated.

Many people began to think of the words that the Xu family boy said earlier, he said, "My dad will definitely go home for the New Year", and he did.

Back home, Dad Xu took a shower and came out.

Xu Tingsheng handed over a list to Xu's father, and said, "Dad, I have a list. These people have been kind to our Xu family during this time. You come to the door to invite them personally. The whole family is invited." , come to our house to have New Year’s Eve dinner together.”

Dad Xu looked at the list in his hand. There were his old buddies, Uncle Rong and others on it, as well as some people he didn't know very well, such as Uncle Zhao and a few others.

Father Xu smiled in relief, and said to Xu Tingsheng, "Aren't you going with me?"

Xu Tingsheng smiled and said, "I'll help with the cooking first, and I'll drive to the county to pick up people later."

"You can cook?" Dad Xu asked in surprise.

"What I learned in college is better than my mother, and you will know when the time comes." Xu Tingsheng said with a smile.

Xu's father went out, and everyone saw it. The Xu family, Xu Jianliang... went home for the New Year.

Even if they don't know the process, even if they feel that the Xu family's life will not be so easy after they provoke the Huang family, people still have to admire: facing the biggest local snake in Libei, the Xu family has survived.

Wearing an apron, Xu Tingsheng squeezed between Mama Xu and a few aunts and aunts, helping to cook a few dishes.

"By the way, Mom, did the friend who lent you money call last time? Can you come? If you can, I'll pick it up later." Xu Tingsheng asked Xu's mother.

Xu's mother smiled mysteriously, and said: "I have called, and said that today I arranged to eat at the child's grandma's house. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will take you to the door in person to thank them."

"Well, it should be." Xu Tingsheng replied.

Just as they were talking, a shopping cart covered with black oilcloth stopped at the door of Xu's house. Xu Tingsheng left the kitchen behind and went out to guide the truck to the grain drying field beside Xu's house, and helped unload the goods.

As for what was in the car, he did not say.

For the Xu family's New Year's Eve dinner, two rows of tables were placed from the lobby to the empty space outside the door. Many people came, but there were still a few empty tables. This is reserved for Xu Tingsheng's original words.

He said that when my dad comes home, everyone who feels worthy of the Xu family is welcome to come and have a drink together.

A man from a neighboring village was about to go out, but the girl stopped him and said, "Are you really going?"

"Why can't I go?" the man said, "At that time, I was behind Lao Zhao, although I didn't help to speak, but I didn't force the Xu family to take money."

"But, I think, the Xu family put on such a big scene just after he came out, isn't this a demonstration against the Huang family?... You go now, don't be slightly hated by the Huang family." The motherfucker continued.

The man hesitated for a while, then waved his hand: "I'm afraid he's a bird, so I'll go."

The man walked to the door of Xu's house, after all, he came uninvited, but he hesitated a little when he got here, and at this moment, Xu's father and son came out together.

"Brother Lin is here. Sit down quickly," Xu Tingsheng said.

More and more people came.

Of course, many people have been persuaded by their family members, and many people are still hesitant.

After 8 o'clock in the New Year's Eve dinner, Huang Yaming, Fu Cheng and others also came over. They came to offer a glass of wine to Xu's father, but after the toast, Xu Tingsheng had other things waiting for them.

Xu Tingsheng brought Huang Yaming, Fu Cheng and several half children to the sun-drying field.

Fireworks filled the valley field.

"It's ordered." Xu Tingsheng said.

At this time, sporadic fireworks had already started to go off in Libei County, and many people stood on the balcony and watched from the window sills.

Suddenly, they saw the red half of the sky in the distance for the first time.

Xu's village is only 20 minutes' walk from the county seat, and the main purpose is to bypass a horizontal hill, and the straight-line distance is very close.

The one-time 30,000 yuan fireworks rose into the night sky, and the sky-shattering sound and brilliant brilliance attracted everyone's attention.

"Where is that?" Someone asked.

"Who else can make such a big noise in that direction, the Xu family!" The others replied.
