Chapter 80 Staying at Xiuzhen's House
Next.

Chen Zezhong stopped talking to Liu Fen and put him aside.

As for the two son-in-laws, Shen Zehua and Niu Hongshan, he was naturally very satisfied.

Not only are the two successful in their careers, but they are also not as unreliable as Liu Fen.

So when Chen Zezhong talked to Shen Zehua, Niu Hongshan and Jiang Ping'an, he always had a smile on his face.

"After the safe Chinese New Year, when will you go back to school?" Chen Zezhong asked with a smile.

Jiang Pingan took a sip of tea, smiled and said:
"School starts on the [-]th, and I plan to go to the city on the [-]th, and go to pay some leaders and teachers an early New Year's greetings."

Chen Zezhong's eyes lit up, he nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, it's not surprising that there are so many polite people!"

"The more times you visit leaders and teachers, the more impressed they will be with you."

After a pause, he pointed to the various gifts in the room and said with a smile:
"These things will break after a long time. When you leave today, pick some up and take them into the city to give away."

"That's not possible. Even if you and Aunt Jiang don't eat these things yourself, they can be sold for money." Jiang Ping'an shook his head.

Chen Zezhong said with a smile: "Why do I need so much money? I can't spend all my salary every month."

"Don't alienate me. If you really want to say it, I was able to become the section chief because of your credit."

"Besides, you and Xiuzhen are relatively close. We are all on our own, so don't be too polite."

Seeing that Jiang Ping'an still wanted to refuse, he turned serious and waved:
"That's it, I won't be happy if you refuse again!"

Jiang Pingan hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Shen Zehua and Niu Hongshan next to him.

Both of them spread their hands, expressing their helplessness.

As for Liu Fen, he was so envious, his eyes lit up looking at those things.

Chen Zezhong, big and small, is the chief of the propaganda section, and he is also considered a powerful figure in the commune.

There is nothing bad that can be given as a gift.

"Yeah, I'll just pick and go, but I owe more and more to Uncle Chen!" Jiang Ping'an said gratefully.

Chen Zezhong's face softened, and he said with a smile: "That's right, they are all external things, don't take them too seriously."

Next, he said to Shen Zehua and Niu Hongshan:
"In the future, in the city, if Ping An finds you in any difficulty, try to help him as much as possible."

The two agreed wholeheartedly, and Jiang Ping'an was naturally grateful to the two of them.

Seeing that Chen Zezhong treated him so well, Jiang Ping'an almost got mad and planned to marry Chen Xiuzhen.

But in the end, I still held back. After all, this is a matter of my life, so there is no need to go all out.

The big deal is to find an opportunity to repay Chen Zezhong in the future, so I don't have to exchange my lifetime of marriage happiness.

Next, Chen Zezhong cared about the careers of Shen Zehua and Niu Hongshan, as well as the situation of their parents and brothers, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Only Liu Fen was fidgeting, with a stiff smile on his face, and couldn't even get in the conversation.

Fortunately, not long after, Chen Xiurong came over and told them to go to the next door for dinner, and Liu Fen breathed a sigh of relief.

The meal at noon is very rich.

Chicken, fish, bacon, sausage, fried eggs, plus a few vegetarian dishes and pickles to go with wine.

The staple food is white flour steamed buns, and the wine is Wuliangye.

The food is fragrant and there are many people.

Among them, Shen Zehua and his wife have three children, and Niu Hongshan and his wife have two children.

The older one is seven or eight years old, and the younger one is only five or six months old.

When they met for the first time, Jiang Ping'an couldn't tell which child belonged to which family.

Jiang Ping'an didn't see these children before because they all went out to play and were called back before dinner.

There are two tables of meals, men and a few half-sized children sit at one table, women and children sit at one table, and it is not crowded.

After everyone sat down, Chen Xiuxia took the firecrackers to the door and lit them, and there was a burst of crackling and roaring.

The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the taste of the New Year suddenly comes to my heart.

When things calmed down, Chen Zezhong and Shen Zehua laughed and said, "I usually can't eat such a sumptuous meal."

"For the meal on the second day of the new year, your mother-in-law and I racked our brains for fear that it would be too shabby."

Shen Zehua poured wine for everyone, and replied with a smile: "The food standards at these two tables are very high!"

"Even if it is placed in the city, it is difficult to meet this standard. The supply of materials has been too scarce in recent years!"

Niu Hongshan answered: "Yes! Don't be afraid of father-in-law's jokes, our factory hasn't eaten meat for more than half a year."

"Steamed buns and steamed buns can only give priority to heavy physical labor workers, and others can only eat sweet potatoes to satisfy their hunger."

Chen Zezhong nodded and sighed softly, "The days will get better."

"It's Chinese New Year today, don't talk about unhappy things, it's rare to have a good meal, don't be too polite, just open up and eat!"

"Ping'an, I know you have a big appetite, so don't be reserved, eat as much as you can, I have enough steamed buns for today!"

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Uncle Chen, if I have a chance to eat delicious food, I won't be so stupid as to not eat it."

Next, they ate, drank, and slammed their cups, all of them ate with oily mouths and were in high spirits.

I didn't drink less wine.

Jiang Ping'an alone drank more than a catty, like a normal person, and ate twelve or three steamed buns.

Chen Zezhong and the others also drank seven or eight taels of wine, their faces flushed red from drinking, and their tongues could not be straightened when they spoke.

And Jiang Ping'an also knew that Liu Fen was drinking, so why didn't he invite people to see him.

When this guy was drunk, he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north, he stared in a daze, shouted and went crazy with alcohol.

For a while, he got under the table and cried and laughed, and for a while he barked like a dog, like a cow and a sheep, and picked up bones on the ground and gnawed them.

The worst thing was that he ran up to Chen Xiuxia talking nonsense and doing all kinds of unsightly and obscene actions.

He couldn't be persuaded, and in the end, after discussing with Chen Zezhong, Jiang Ping'an knocked him unconscious with a slap.

Then Shen Zehua and Niu Hongshan worked together to send Liu Fen to the next bedroom to rest.

All in all, the meal was very happy and carefree, and everyone was smiling and happy.

Eat and drink well.

The children continue to play outside, and the women clean up the dishes and clean up.

Chen Zezhong and Jiang Ping'an, the big men, went back to the living room and sat down to drink tea and chat.

"Are you going back to the city this afternoon? Don't leave overnight?" Jiang Pingan looked at Niu Hongshan in surprise.

Before he could speak, Shen Zehua answered, "Tomorrow we have to pay New Year's greetings to our leaders and colleagues."

"If you rest for one night before leaving, if you go back tomorrow, you won't be able to catch up with time."

Chen Zezhong nodded and said, "Zehua and Hongshan are like this every year."

"I went to my relatives on the first day of the Lunar New Year, went to the countryside on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and went to pay New Year greetings to the leaders and colleagues on the third day of the Lunar New Year."

"It's safe, you're fine anyway, rest for one night before leaving, I won't keep you tomorrow, how about it?"

Niu Hongshan smiled and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law is such a big section chief, he won't let you have no place to sleep."

"Hehe, I don't worry about where I sleep." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

Then without refusing, he promised to rest for one night before leaving.

After a few people sat and chatted for a while, Shen Zehua proposed to take a walk outside, blowing the cold wind and sobering up.

So we went out together and wandered around.

It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Shen Zehua, Niu Hongshan, and Liu Fen, with their children, all went to the commune to take a bus back to the city.

Liu Fen was drunk, and was carried away by Shen Zehua and Niu Hongshan.

This guy is not liked by Chen Zezhong, and the two sons-in-law will naturally not let him stay here to be disgusting.

But Chen Xiuzhen was not in a hurry to go back to the city, she also lived alone when she went back.

So since my husband died, I only go back every year in the third year of junior high school.
