Farming and Bend the National Husband

Hearing that Xia Jiusheng was going to the Shanghai stock market, An An clamored to go as well. When Ah Fu heard this, of course he didn't miss this opportunity to play around, and came over to drag Xia Jiusheng's hand.

Xia's mother was watching TV, and they were so noisy that she couldn't help it. She yelled angrily: "If you want to go, go together. Remember to come back after playing for a day. It's almost Chinese New Year. There is a lot of chaos outside, so be careful."

"Understood." The two of them heard Xia's mother agreed, and they responded loudly with elongated voices.

Knowing that his brother was soft-hearted, he would definitely agree, and the two went to play contentedly.

"Wen Yue, then you should go together tomorrow. When I go to the annual meeting, you take them to the street to play." Xia Jiusheng remembered that Wen Yue worked in the Shanghai stock market before, so he must be familiar with it. He will accompany the two Son, he was also relieved, so he confessed.

"No problem, master." Wen Yue also wanted to go back to the Shanghai stock market to have a look, and now that he had this opportunity, of course he agreed.

Xia’s mother and Xia’s father spent half a day on the fish caught at home yesterday, scraping off all the fish scales, digging out the stomach, cutting open the back with a knife, sprinkled salt on it, and Xia Jiusheng saw that he was free now, so he took the fish Come and rinse with water, wash off the salt on the surface, string it up with a rope and hang it under the eaves, when it is half dry at night, put in soy sauce, pepper and other seasonings to marinate for one night, hang it out tomorrow and continue to dry, wait a few days When the meat of the sky fish is firm, it is done.

Seeing hundreds of big fish hanging densely under the eaves, it looks very spectacular. If you sell it, you can sell it for 100 yuan.

Wen Yue stood on the side, wearing plastic gloves, clumsily helping Xia Jiusheng.

Xia Jiusheng felt more and more that Wen Yue was so gentle, so he could only sit in the office and write and draw.Look at his virtue of stringing fish on a string, and his hands will be cut by the fins. If he does farm work, it may take half a day to cut rice, and he will faint from heatstroke.

"By the way, master, you can finalize the list of gifts now. You have to prepare the New Year's goods in these two days and send them to people as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be dishonest to send them to people after they have bought them." Waiting for Xia Jiusheng to All the fish were hung up, Wen Yue reminded.

"Yes, yes." Xia Jiusheng jumped off the ladder and nodded repeatedly.

The two sat down in the living room, Wen Yue found a pen and paper, and prepared to record, Xia Jiusheng frowned and began to think about who he should send to other than his relatives.

The first one must be Uncle Duan, he is his nobleman and the most important person besides Zhao Zezhong's family.

Xia Jiusheng reported his name to Wen Yue and asked him to write it down.The second one is Uncle Huang. Although this person is only Zhao Zezhong's assistant, he has helped him a lot. Xia Jiusheng also wanted to thank him.The third is Nie Hongjun. He wants to help him plan Da'ao, and he may have to trouble him for a long time in the future, so thank you very much.

Wen Yue wrote them down one by one, asked the other party's identity and relationship clearly, and marked it.

The next one is Bai Qishun. Although the relationship is not very close, but I feel that I can hand it over, and I can't forget to give it to him.The same goes for Su Cheng, although the relationship is not very close, but just because he is fascinated by Li Qiaowei, he has to make this friend.

Behind them are Li Wei and Li Haoliang. The former helped him and will become good friends in the future. The latter is a good person and he is also a friend he would like to make.

In the end, there are some etiquette people. For example, Duan Wei mainly introduced Zheng Donghai to him, the mayor of Shaocheng City, and his parents and officials.

Wen Yue wrote down the characters one by one, and arranged them according to their identities and relatives, and quickly decided on the gift list.

Like Uncle Duan, there is a basket of fresh melons and fruits, a basket of fresh vegetables, two fish, two chickens, and a small basket of eggs.If the relationship is farther away, the quantity will be reduced. Generally, two fish, some eggs, and some melons and fruits will be enough.

Xia's father and Xia's mother saw that the two of them cooperated tacitly and arranged this matter well, so they were relieved.

The son is too young and lacks the rules to do things. He needs the help of a mature and stable person to arrange things properly. Wen Yue just made up for his son's shortcomings.

"Mom, didn't my cousin say that he was going to get married years ago? He is 22 today, why is there still no movement?" Xia Jiusheng suddenly thought of this question and asked strangely.

"According to the fortune teller, there is no good day for them to get married in the twelfth lunar month, so your second uncle changed the date to the first month." Mother Xia glanced at her son and replied nonchalantly. "Besides, the new house they bought in Zhangtang has just been renovated, and they can't move in now. It's just right for them to get married in the first month."

"Oh. No wonder." Xia Jiusheng knew that people in the countryside believed in this, so he didn't find it strange.

Since the incident at the uncle's house, although I have reconciled with my mother, there always seems to be a thorn in the relationship between the mother and the child, and the intimacy before can never be restored. Xia Jiusheng understood that he had to give his mother time to accept herself slowly, so he dared not be in a hurry.

But when it came to marriage, his mother's expression changed subtly, which made him feel pressured and guilty.

Should I have a wedding with Zhao Zezhong, so that my mother can rest assured about her emotional life?Xia Jiusheng suddenly thought wildly.

※※※

The next morning, after finishing his morning routine, Xia Jiusheng went upstairs to change his clothes, tidied up his appearance, went downstairs to say goodbye to his parents, and turned around to greet An An and Ah Fu, but they were gone. , only to find that they were already waiting in the car with Wen Yue.

Xia Jiusheng got into the car and looked at them weakly. It was just a trip to the Shanghai stock market. Is there any need to be so excited?

"Brother, I haven't played outside with you yet? And I don't have to go home today, I can spend the night in Shanghai—" An An tilted her head and leaned on the car window, but her buttocks kept twisting and turning, her feet He kept shaking as if he couldn't stay idle, and said excitedly to Xia Jiusheng.

"Yeah, master, I haven't gone out with you either." Ah Fu raised his face, his round face was full of smiles, and Xia Jiusheng said fawningly.

After hearing what the two said, Xia Jiusheng's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

In the past, because the family was poor, the family was under pressure to eat enough, so there was no chance to travel and have fun, like my younger brother, except for going to Yucheng to see a doctor a few years ago.He really had no chance to leave Zhangtang Town and play outside.

It seems that I am a little self-righteous, ignoring their spiritual needs to see the outside world.

Parents at home, why not the same?Except for the last time I went to Uncle Duan's house in Hangzhou, I didn't have the opportunity to go to other places.

It's no wonder that they are so cautious in Uncle Duan's house, they have never seen the world, and they will always feel guilty about the unfamiliar environment.If they often run outside, this will definitely not be the case. Sometimes vision will make a person more confident and calm.

Do you have to think about it yourself?Now that the family conditions are better, and they are married to the Zhao family, their parents will have to socialize with those powerful people because of themselves. They need to go outside more often to broaden their horizons.

"Then it's a holiday, how about I take you to another place?" Xia Jiusheng asked with a smile. "By the way, where do you most want to go?"

"Really, brother, how about going to Beijing? I want to go to *** to see the national flag being raised." Hearing what her brother said, An An opened her eyes in disbelief and exclaimed in surprise.

"Okay, of course there's no problem." Xia Jiusheng glanced at An An, and raised his hand as an OK gesture to them.

"Brother, what you say is what you say." An An urged worriedly.The next moment, he shouted excitedly again: "Let's go to Beijing and watch the People's Liberation Army raise the national flag——"

"Master, I want to go together too." Ah Fu feared that he would be left behind, so he said hastily.

"Well, Ah Fu is going too." Xia Jiusheng said to Ah Fu reassuringly.

Wen Yue was sitting in the passenger cab, watching Xia Jiusheng talking to the two children dotingly, suddenly her eyes became a little hot, and she felt a sour feeling in her heart.When I was a child, I also lived in loneliness and hardship, without a relative to rely on and rely on. If I had an older brother like Xia Jiusheng at that time, how happy I would be.

He also thought that he had already worshiped Xia Jiusheng as his teacher, and they could be regarded as a family with them, and he would not be lonely in the future, so he felt more comforted in his heart.

The car drove all the way on the high speed, and soon drove to the Shanghai market, and arrived at the International Hotel where Xia Jiusheng stayed last time.

※※※

Zhao Zezhong knew that Xia Jiusheng was coming in the morning, so he was already waiting at the entrance of the hotel.

Seeing An An and Ah Fu who came out first, Zhao Zezhong was not surprised. He bent down and hugged them respectively.

Because of his family background, Ah Fu didn't feel much discomfort when he arrived in an unfamiliar environment. On the contrary, An An suddenly became timid when he saw these tall buildings and crowded vehicles not far away.

This strengthened Xia Jiusheng's determination, he must take his younger brother to see more outside, meet more people, and practice his courage.

Seeing Wen Yue, Zhao Zezhong was a little surprised, this is Yang Yang's new apprentice?Why do you look so polite?Look at his delicate face showing a perfect side profile under the winter sun, a pair of slender and clean hands, so white that they are almost transparent, and he has a scholarly temperament.

At that time in the hospital, he had seen this homeless man who was about to freeze to death, but he did not expect that after his body recovered, he would look so good.

He wouldn't have any thoughts about Wen Yue. After all, Zhao Zezhong is not a pure comrade. The only gay he is interested in is Xia Jiusheng. On the contrary, he is worried that this person is so outstanding. If he is by Yang Yang's side every day, will he have an affair with Yang Yang? emotion.

Xia Jiusheng and Wen Yue blushed at the same time.

Looking at him with almost naked suspicious eyes, no matter how stupid they were, they understood the meaning of his eyes.This idiot, can't he see that the two of them are of the same attribute, and it is impossible for what he is worried about to happen?

In this public place, it was hard to say anything, so Xia Jiusheng could only lower his face and ignore Zhao Zezhong.

Zhao Zezhong rubbed his nose, not knowing what was wrong with him, he led them into the lobby embarrassingly, took the special elevator, and came to the top floor.

This is a special place for the Zhao family, ordinary people are not qualified to step here.Therefore, it has been carefully decorated inside, and the layout is both luxurious and comfortable.

After entering the room, several people were overwhelmed by the layout inside, only Xia Jiusheng, who had seen it a few times, felt nothing.

This extra-large suite is arranged in an open pattern, and the living room, kitchen, and dining room are separated by transparent glass and screens, which are faintly visible, which is not only beautiful but also increases the transparency of the interior space.Gray walls, black pillars highlight the restrained atmosphere, and some brightly colored home decorations make this house very attractive.

"Please sit down." Zhao Zezhong greeted them to sit down on the sofa.

The heating in the room was fully turned on. Everyone took off their coats, hung them on the coat racks, and stepped on the thick woolen carpet, which was very comfortable.

On the coffee table in the living room, there is a huge fruit plate. After peeling, peeling and slicing various fruits, they form a beautiful pattern, which makes people salivate.

Xia Jiusheng picked up a fruit fork from the small plate next to it, forked a mango from the fruit plate, put it in his mouth, it was very sweet, and handed another one to Ah Fu. When Ah Fu saw it, he opened his mouth, Exaggeratedly aww, he bit down and narrowed his eyes.

Before An An pouted, Xia Jiusheng quickly forked another pill, put it into An An's mouth, and patted his head.

"What do you want to drink?" Zhao Zezhong had long since gotten used to Yang Yang's habit of ignoring others for a long time after getting tired of being with the two children, Gu Zi asked Wen Yue.

"Boiled water." Wen Yue was dealing with Zhao Zezhong for the first time, and she didn't know his character, but on the surface, he shouldn't be a difficult person to get along with, so she relaxed.

The two sat and chatted for a few words, and said some nonsense, Zhao Zezhong saw Xia Jiusheng and the other three were still picking fruit from the fruit plate, and stopped him: "You have been eating like this, don't you plan to have lunch later? "

"Eat fruit and you won't be full, what are you afraid of?" Xia Jiusheng turned his head and gave him a blank look, forked a piece of dragon fruit, held it up in front of Zhao Zezhong, threw it into his open mouth, put the fork on the table, and obeyed him Opinions are gone.

Seeing that he knew he didn't like to eat dragon fruit, Zhao Zezhong stuffed it into his mouth on purpose, hugged Xia Jiusheng's neck angrily, and turned his face away with one hand, and was about to shove the dragon fruit in his mouth to the limit Xia Jiusheng's mouth.

"You can do it!" Seeing that Zhao Zezhong dared to make such an ambiguous gesture in front of An'an and the others, Xia Jiusheng put his hands on his face, pushed back vigorously, and cursed: "You don't want to be ashamed——"

An An is more sensitive than A Fu, she already vaguely knows the relationship between her brother and Zhao Zezhong, but she doesn't quite understand the meaning of this relationship. Seeing that Zhao Zezhong wants to kiss her brother, she thinks that he wants to bully her brother and take advantage of her brother, so she rushes to stand in front of her brother , staring at Zhao Zezhong.

"An'an is fine, we were joking." Seeing An'an's expression, Xia Jiusheng knew that he had misunderstood, so he quickly bent down and hugged An'an, comforting him.

Wen Yue saw how many people were in a hurry, she wanted to laugh but couldn't.

"Yeah, An An, I was joking with your brother." Zhao Zezhong squatted down helplessly, kissed An An's face, and explained self-righteously: "Look, it's okay to kiss once."

"I don't want you to kiss." An An wiped the place where Zhao Zezhong had kissed, and said disgustedly.

"Okay, An An, don't be so rude." Xia Jiusheng dragged An An's hand, came to the sofa and sat down.

"It's almost time, you guys go get ready, leave An'an and Ah Fu to me." Wen Yue saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, and reminded Zhao Zezhong and his master.

"Okay." Xia Jiusheng stood up, dragged An'an and Ah Fu to the bathroom to wash his face, he had just eaten fruit, his face and hands must be dirty.

"It's rare to come to the Shanghai stock market. Of course, we will go together. Uncle Huang has arranged a lot of programs for this year's annual meeting, which is very interesting." Zhao Zezhong heard what they wanted, and wanted to act separately, thinking that they didn't like to participate, so he hurriedly encouraged road.

"Is it okay?" Xia Jiusheng didn't know much about this and asked Wen Yue.

"If you go to attend, of course there is no problem. In the past when our company held an annual meeting, the boss would bring some family members to attend. This was originally to shorten the relationship with the employees and show that everyone is a family." Wen Yue explained.

"Oh." Xia Jiusheng was a little tempted when Wen Yue said it.

Ah Fu is better. Uncle Duan must have arranged everything for him. An An has been staying in a small place like Zhangtang, and really needs to participate in more activities like this. Relatively speaking, children in the countryside rarely see the world.

It's all because of my inexperience, I didn't prepare clothes for them, it seems a bit impolite to dress like this now.

Seeing that Xia Jiusheng was tempted, Zhao Zezhong was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurried to the cloakroom, opened a cabinet, and said, "Yangyang, bring An'an and Ah Fu to try on clothes."

Xia Jiusheng looked over and saw that the closet was full of dresses worn by children, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Did you buy An An and A Fu's clothes in advance?" Xia Jiusheng thought that these clothes were specially prepared for An An and A Fu, and walked over with the two children, asking unexpectedly. "You knew they'd come together?"

"I don't know, these clothes are just for preparation." Zhao Zezhong didn't lie to him. "Besides, my brother's child is also seven or eight years old. We are all used to keeping some children's clothes in our home for emergencies."

"Oh." After Xia Jiusheng heard this, not only was he not disappointed, but he was relieved that Zhao Zezhong was so honest. The two of them had passed the point where they needed these superficial things to please each other.

First, she put An An on a pure white shirt, found a dress that was similar in color to her own, helped him put it on, and picked a light gray plaid tie, and put it on for him.

After wearing it, An An seemed to be a different person, too handsome to be real.

"An An looks so handsome in this suit." Wen Yue exclaimed.

"Yeah, how could he be so handsome." Zhao Zezhong also admired.

The facial features are very similar to Xia Jiusheng's, but they haven't grown yet. A delicate and straight nose, thick eyelashes and beautiful phoenix eyes, thin and upturned lips, a perfect oval face, and a near-perfect body shape. A dress, all dressed up brightly.

An An was embarrassed by their praise, and hid behind Xia Jiusheng.

"Master, where's mine?" Ah Fu was anxious.

Xia Jiusheng picked out similar clothes for Ah Fu. Unlike An An's handsome, Ah Fu has a round face and big eyes, which makes him look cuter.

"Ah Fu is too cute." Xia Jiusheng kissed him heavily on the face and smiled.

Being praised by the master, Ah Fu grinned contentedly.

Wen Yue came over wearing a suit, so there was no need to change, so everyone tidied up in front of the mirror and prepared to go downstairs.

※※※

Downstairs, a huge banquet hall was almost furnished, and company employees had already started to show up at the door. After signing at the reception staff, they took their number plates, walked in, and sat in the seats where their name plates were placed.

On the stage, huge banners and various colorful decorations are all ready, and the two hosts are also in place, sitting and resting.

Huang Pinzhang took the staff in the office and walked back and forth in the hall several times. Seeing that nothing was missed, he felt relieved.

When Zhao Zezhong and Xia Jiusheng came down for a few days, the staff in the lobby had almost arrived. Everyone poured juice drinks in the drink area and chatted lively with people they knew.

As the boss of the company, Zhao Zezhong will have his congratulatory speech later, so he went to the back of the stage first to talk to the host, and Xia Jiusheng and the others walked to the hall.

Uncle Huang was sitting on the side resting, and when he saw Xia Jiusheng, he greeted him happily, held his hand vigorously, patted his hand with the other hand, and said excitedly after a long time, "Xiao Xia, you are welcome."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your hard work today." Xia Jiusheng knew from the situation that everything was arranged by Uncle Huang. Zhao Zezhong, the hands-off shopkeeper, probably came over to take a look and then left.

"It's okay. I'm used to these things, so it's nothing difficult." Uncle Huang let go, and saw Wen Yue behind him, who seemed familiar, but couldn't remember who he was, so he had to ask Xia Jiusheng: "Who is this young man? Haven't seen it?"

"This is my assistant Wen Yue." Xia Jiusheng was embarrassed to say that he was his apprentice, and said with a smile: "I especially envy Zhao Zezhong for having an all-round assistant like Uncle Huang, who allows him to be lazy, so I also found one for myself. I hope he Like you, you can help me—”

"Uncle Huang, I'm Wen Yue." Wen Yue was no stranger to such occasions, so she shook hands with Uncle Huang gracefully.

"Have we met before?" Uncle Huang asked with some doubts.

"Uncle Huang said so, he must have seen it!" Wen Yue was not sure. "I used to work as an assistant to the general manager at Delta Holdings, and I often accompanied the boss to participate in various activities. Maybe we met by chance—"

"Delta Holdings, that well-known foreign-funded company in Lujiazui?" Uncle Huang was taken aback.

"Yes. But in recent years, foreign companies in China have not been as profitable as before." Wen Yue said lightly.

"Yes, domestic companies are growing faster now, and foreign companies have no protective policies, and some problems have been exposed." Uncle Huang nodded in agreement.

"Uncle Huang, it's possible that you haven't prepared a place for us, so you plan to let us stand all the time." Xia Jiusheng reminded seeing that they seemed to have the desire to continue talking.

"Look, I'm confused. Come with me. There is a special table over there for the Fourth Young Master and his family." Uncle Huang smiled apologetically, and praised An An and A Fu again: "Today An An and A Fu You are so handsome, Uncle Huang dare not recognize you."
