Chapter 496 Tea House

After the meal, Li Tang took the initiative to put away the pots and pans, and then the family of four went out for a walk together.

On a summer evening, there were many people chatting in the courtyard. I saw the leader’s parents coming over. They were qualified enough to come and say hello. One after another, they came over and said hello. From the door of the unit building to the door of the family courtyard, it took just two days. It took a full twenty minutes to walk over a hundred meters before coming out.

As soon as I came out, I ran into Du Juan who had just come back and didn't know what she was doing.

"Uncle and aunt, are you two here?"

Seeing Li's father and Li's mother, Du Juan happily trotted over and took Li's mother's hand.

"Your uncle's retirement procedures have been completed, and there is nothing to do at home. We were thinking of staying at Sanzi's place for two days. We just asked you to come over for dinner, but you weren't at home either."

"Something came up before I got off work, so I worked overtime for a while and ate my meal at the company. If I had known that my aunt and uncle would come over today, I would definitely not have to work overtime. Tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon, I will give you two Cai. Uncle, aren’t you used to being light-hearted now that you have nothing to do?”

"I'm not used to it, I'm really not used to it, but it should only last for a few days. It will be fine in a few days."

"Then you two will stay here for a few more days."

"Just stay for two days. It's hotter here than at the foot of the mountain. I'm not used to it after living for a long time." Dad Li smiled and waved his hand.

"By the way Juanzi, how did Nini do in the exam this year?"

Du Juan's youngest daughter just finished taking the college entrance examination in early July.

"Her own estimate is that her grades are pretty good. She will definitely be fine going to a provincial university, but she hasn't decided where to go."

"As long as you do well in the exam, you'll be fine. Now you've survived."

……

At the stall where they were chatting at the gate of the family compound, Li Tanggang lit a cigarette for himself. When he looked up, he saw a black car driving over and parked on the side of the road. When he looked at the license plate, he yelled, father-in-law. He took the car and hurriedly pulled the old man's arm.

"Dad, Huihui's father is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the passenger door of the car and the doors on both sides of the back seat were opened at the same time. The people who got out of the passenger car were stunned when they saw the leader himself opening the door.

Song's father and Song's mother, who were sitting in the back row, got out of the car together.

After Li Tang's reminder, Father Li and the others also stopped chatting and took two steps forward. Song Xiaohui was already running towards them.

It was a coincidence that Song's father and Song's mother came here today. Originally, Song's father came to talk to his son-in-law about some business, and Song's mother came over to take a look around. Unexpectedly, she ran into her in-laws' father-in-law and in-laws' mother.

Seeing this, Du Juan didn't stop. She said hello to Song's father and Song's mother and left first. The six people here didn't enter the house anymore. Now that the sky was getting dark, they simply started walking on the roadside. , three women walked together, three men walked in a row, and behind them hung a staff member from Dad Song's side.

"Dad, didn't you go to Sijiu City for a meeting? When did you come back?"

"I just came back this afternoon, Lao Li. Have you completed all the procedures?"

"It's over. In addition to paying the organization fee every year, you don't have to go to the unit anymore."

"Oh, I can't compare to your free and easy mentality of quitting at any time." Dad Song said with some emotion.

Of course he knew what he meant. He originally wanted Dad Li to join the representative association and work for a few more years before quitting, but Dad Li didn't agree and directly wrote an application to quit.

In fact, how should I put it, the person who suggested that Dad Li go to the Qin Provincial Representative Conference for a few more years didn't have any good intentions.

Director Cao will definitely retire in the second half of this year. He is already in his 70s, and if he retires, his successor as director will most likely be Father Song.

But if Dad Li comes to serve as the deputy director of the representative association, then Dad Song will definitely leave Qin Province and be transferred to other provinces. He will not even be able to continue in his current position. No matter what, the superiors will not let the two in-laws Those who hold high-ranking positions in the same province at the same time.

In view of Father Song's age, he will definitely have to retire if he continues to serve. There is no point in going to other provinces. He has also lost his base camp. It is not in his interest or in the interest of Director Wang. Therefore, Father Li has no idea. Accepting this suggestion, he had no idea at first and simply chose to withdraw completely.

Hearing what his in-laws said, Dad Li smiled and shook his head: "It's not about being free and easy, but it's inevitable to feel empty in my heart. No, my mother thinks I'm not happy staying at home, so she pulls I’ll come over and take a look.”

"It's time to relax and unwind, after working hard all your life."    ……

Li Tang followed without saying a word, just listening to the two old men chatting. After waiting for a while, seeing the two men starting to talk about the wheel, he interrupted and looked at his father-in-law and asked: "Dad, are you coming here today?" Do you have a problem with me?"

"Well, something did happen."

As he spoke, Father Song turned around and looked back. Li Tang knew at a glance that he was looking for a suitable place to talk. It seemed that the matter was not serious, so he raised his hand and pointed to the other side of the road and said: "Dad, let's talk Let’s go sit in the teahouse opposite? Their Longjing tea is pretty good, and there are private rooms on the second floor.”

Following the direction of Li Tang's finger, the two old men looked over. It was a two-story private house. The exterior was decorated in an antique style, and it looked quite similar.

"there……"

"Oh, this is a teahouse opened by Qiao Mu and the others. It's just for having a place to sit when we don't want to go to a restaurant when discussing business."

Only then did Song's father realize that they had already reached another road while walking and chatting.

He raised his chin, gestured to the courtyard across a small intersection to the west of the teahouse and asked, "Is that the Qinling Construction Engineering Family Courtyard over there?"

"Yes, this land is also an experiment made by the district. It is the first piece of land to be transferred."

"Land economy? Haha, you seem to have invented this term, right?"

"Uh... you have such high regard for me. I don't have the ability to do this. Isn't it normal for foreign land sales?"

"Don't mention this." Father Song waved his hand: "Is it quiet in the teahouse?"

"Don't worry about this."

"Then tell your mother and the others to see if they can come over. Lao Li, let's go sit there?"

"Is it convenient?"

"Nothing inconvenient."

"Okay, I'll try Longjing too."

……

In the end, the three women chose to continue walking. Li Tang led the two old men across the street to the teahouse. Seeing that there were customers in the stalls on the first floor, he did not go in through the front door. He just said hello to the front desk and entered the courtyard. Li went directly to the private room on the second floor from the back door.

As soon as he came up and before he sat down, Du Chengdong came up behind him. As soon as he reached the door, he said loudly: "Third brother, why don't you go through the front door and come from the back... uh... Hello Uncle Li, Hello Uncle Song! "

Unfortunately, he couldn't come in. As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the staff member next to Song's father who came with him.

Du Chengdong, who was stopped, was slightly startled. After he looked around to see who was in the room, he quickly said hello.

When the staff saw Li Tang nodding, he put down his arm that was blocking Du Chengdong, and he was able to come in.

"Chengdong, what you're doing here looks pretty good."

"Hey, we are just messing around, just so we can have a place to sit when we talk about business sometimes. Uncle Li, Uncle Song, please sit down, and I will bring water to make tea."

Du Chengdong suddenly thought of something and didn't care to say anything more. He turned around and walked outside. As soon as he reached the door, he happened to stop a person and didn't let anyone outside come in. He took the hot water bottle from the person's hand, and then He closed the private room door smoothly.

Li Tang looked over and saw clearly who was outside, and also understood why Du Chengdong didn't let anyone in.

The person outside is a beautiful deputy manager of their company's public relations department, and is also the external manager of this teahouse. She is dressed a little avant-garde. It is okay to greet others, but to greet these two people today, Du Chengdong would not dare to let her in even if he killed him.

Du Chengdong, who took the pot, saw the smile on the corner of Li Tang's mouth and glared at him. He had been greeting two guests in the stall on the first floor just now and ran up after hearing what the front desk said. Knowing that these two old men were coming, he would rather not have come up.
