Rebirth of Prosperous Officials and Merchants

Chapter 233 New Year's Eve Dinner

With the passage of time, the new year is approaching, and 1991, which is about to pass, is really unusual for Lin Xi.

Just when his life was coming to an end, God actually gave him another chance to start all over again, which made Lin Xi feel deeply relieved and at the same time grateful.

Since the heavens favored him so much, he certainly couldn't fail the good intentions of the heavens.From the day he was reborn, Lin Xi made up his mind that he must help his father succeed in his official career, and he must also have a smooth sailing in the business world. It is absolutely impossible for the tragedy that happened to them and his father in the previous life to repeat itself.

Judging from the current situation, Dad's official career will not have any major problems for the time being, and his Dongsheng is gradually growing and advancing steadily on the road to success.

After receiving the remittance from Chobielavsky, Lin Xi wanted to extend his tentacles to the home appliance industry.In his previous life, he fell down in the home appliance industry, and gave his opponent the opportunity to step on his shoulders.As the saying goes, get up from where you fell. In this life, he will not only make a comeback, but also return double the failure and humiliation he suffered back then.

This is Lin Xi's secret buried deep in his heart. He has never mentioned it to anyone, but he has always kept it in his heart.

That night, after Lin Jiaqiang communicated with his son, he did not give Zhao Guangcai, the founder of the old hat Guazi, another chance.Lin Jiaqiang's reason is very simple. The Spring Festival is approaching now, so even if it is about setting up a branch factory, there is no need to rush it.

After Zhao Guangcai heard Lin Jiaqiang's words, his face changed from sunny to cloudy.Lin Jiaqiang pretended not to see Zhao Wencai's performance, but kept asking him to drink tea and smoke.

Although dissatisfied with Lin Jiaqiang's performance, Zhao Guangcai was helpless. After working in the county magistrate's office for a while, seeing that the other party had no intention of letting go, he stood up and said goodbye.

After Lin Jiaqiang noticed that Zhao Guangcai had left his office, he went directly into Zhu Lianshan's office.Lin Jiaqiang was not surprised by this situation, he just chuckled a few times and ignored it.

Lin Jiaqiang originally thought that Zhu Lianshan would not act as a lobbyist for Zhao Guangcai, because when he communicated with Zhao Guangcai, he had already spoken to death, and Zhu Lianshan would not come here to make fun of him.

Who knew that to Lin Jiaqiang's surprise, Zhu Lianshan unexpectedly came to his office early the next morning.Although Zhu Lianshan used the excuse of talking about work, before leaving, he still mentioned a few things about the establishment of a branch factory.

Although he was very puzzled, Lin Jiaqiang said to Zhu Lianshan again what he said to Zhao Guangcai, but it was more tactful.

After Zhu Lianshan heard Lin Qiangqiang's words, he smiled and said: "The county magistrate is right, this Boss Zhao is very anxious, and I persuaded him in the same way, but he insisted that I come over and talk to you again, haha, the county magistrate Don't have any ideas, the boss, this matter is still handled according to our previous discussion, and you have full authority to handle it."

After listening to Lin Qiang, he had a polite word with Zhu Lianshan, then got up and sent him out of the county magistrate's office.

After Lin Xi heard what his father said about the situation, he also felt very strange.Zhu Lianshan's performance was very unpredictable. Normally, he should not have helped Zhao Wencai get ahead in this matter, but he did the opposite, which puzzled the Lin family and his son.

Apart from this matter, there was nothing worthy of Lin Xi's attention a year ago.During this period of time, Lin Jiaqiang was so busy that he could hardly see anyone. Lin Xi knew very well that according to the rules in the officialdom, subordinates would usually arrange New Year's greetings to their leaders before the year, and after the year, the leaders would also need to visit relatives and friends. inconvenient.

Seeing his father's busy figure, Lin Xi felt very at ease, which showed that through his hard work, his father's fate of being kicked out in his previous life had been changed.Although Lin Xi didn't know if there would be rapids and dangerous shoals in the future, at least there was no problem at present, and the future could only be discussed in the future.

Lin Jiaqiang was busy until three o'clock in the afternoon on New Year's Eve before returning home.

After Wang Yueqin saw her husband, she complained, "I thought you wouldn't come back tonight, but I heard that the leader went back to the city last night."

After hearing this, Lin Jiaqiang did not argue, and smiled apologetically at his wife, and walked into the house.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhu Lianshan called him, saying that he was going back to Minzhou, and he would not come back until around the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. During this time, the county magistrate would have to worry about the work in the county.

After Lin Jiaqiang heard this, he felt very upset. It is said that the first and second leaders in the local area will be busier during the Spring Festival.

Although he had opinions in his heart, Lin Jiaqiang didn't show it. He just said calmly, if there is anything unusual, I will report it to the secretary in time.

After Zhu Lianshan heard this, his face blushed, but Lin Jiaqiang didn't see it through the phone. He coughed lightly and said, "Okay, if there's anything wrong, we'll call. During this time, the county Please leave the job to the county magistrate."

Having said all this, Lin Jiaqiang naturally couldn't say anything more, so he had to agree.Now after returning home, Lin Jiaqiang was even more upset when he heard his wife talk about it.

Seeing this, Lin Xi didn't open his mouth. Zhu Lianshan left everything to his father, which might be a good thing.Lin Xi felt that Dad could use this opportunity to let the TV station do more publicity reports and take the opportunity to expand his personal influence. In the long run, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

Qingyuan people have the custom of rushing early on the New Year's Eve. Just as the hour hand points to 04:30 in the afternoon, there are firecrackers outside, which means that some people have already started to eat the New Year's Eve.

The Lin family's New Year's Eve dinner was naturally in charge of the hostess Wang Yueqin. Seeing this situation, she felt a little uneasy, and said to her husband who was helping her: "It's all your fault. I don't know when you will come back. If you know You came back early, I prepared earlier just now."

After Lin Jiaqiang heard this, he said with a smile: "Didn't you complain that I was late when I came back just now? It's too early to say that. Your Chinese teacher is contradicting yourself!"

After Lin Jiaqiang finished speaking, he glanced at his wife and saw that she was about to lose his temper. He quickly smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously, madam. That family eats dinner so early and can't wait until dawn. I'm going to be hungry, our family is not in a hurry, take your time!"

Lin Xi felt sincerely happy when he heard the conversation between his parents. He hardly remembered when his parents had such a witty conversation.

In the previous life, after my father was eliminated from the officialdom, he ended up in a disastrous defeat in the shopping malls. During the Chinese New Year, the family hardly showed a smile.This situation continued until the business of Lin Xi's home appliance store improved, but in the end the good times did not last long. When Lin Xi was reborn, although his parents were only in their 60s, they seemed to have passed the age of seventy. , it is very sad.

"Silly boy, what are you thinking about so preoccupied? Are you thinking about your wife?" Wang Yueqin asked with a laugh as she glanced at her son sitting on the sofa with a dull expression when she was clearing the dining table.

After hearing what his mother said, Lin Xi finally came to his senses. He smiled and replied: "Yes, your son wants a wife. I'm thinking about when to let her come to play at home."

After Lin Jiaqiang heard this, he was taken aback, and was about to speak out to reprimand his son.But Wang Yueqin said first: "Okay, brat, you dare to make mom happy, do you have an itch in your butt, do you need a beating?"

After hearing this, Lin Jiaqiang looked at his wife and children blankly, not knowing what they meant.Seeing this, Lin Xi told his father about the last time Zhao Yi called.

After Lin Jiaqiang listened to Lin Xi's words, he pretended to be serious and said to his wife: "Comrade Wang Yueqin, you are going too far. He just made a phone call. How could you have such an idea?"

"Come on, if you want to make a report, you go to the county government to do it. Home is not the place for you to make a report. The two of you go together and help me go to the kitchen to serve the food. Where are the two uncles from? Wait for me to serve you?" Wang Yueqin rushed Watching her husband and son angrily said.

After hearing this, Lin Jiaqiang, Lin Xi, father and son looked at each other, obediently got up and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

Although only a family of three ate, New Year's Eve dinners have always been highly valued in China. Wang Yueqin prepared a table full of dishes, both hot and cold, which were very rich.

After the dishes were ready, the father and son went down to set off firecrackers. At this time, fireworks and firecrackers had not been banned in the city, and the sound of firecrackers kept coming and going, creating a strong atmosphere of the New Year.

After the family sat down, Lin Xi stood up with a full glass of wine, and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, I would like to offer you a toast. Thank you for raising me so hard for so many years. I will definitely live up to you." teachings and expectations.”

After saying this, Lin Xi raised his neck and poured a full glass of white wine into his mouth.Seeing this situation, Wang Yueqin was about to speak out to stop her, but was stopped by Lin Jiaqiang with a wink.

Seeing Lin Xi put down the wine glass, Lin Jiaqiang said, "Son, your mother and I were very happy to hear what you said just now. Let's drink this wine. Come on, Yueqin, we're done."

After hearing this, Wang Yueqin picked up the wine glass, touched her husband lightly, and the couple drank it down in one gulp.

Lin Xi knew that her mother could drink some alcohol, but she never drank alcohol on other occasions except when she was with her family.

After putting down the wine glass, Wang Yueqin said to the father and son, "You two first have a chopstick of An Le Cai, and then a chopstick of Passepartout. I hope our family will be safe and sound in the coming year."

After hearing this, Lin Jiaqiang and Lin Xi picked up a chopstick of An Lecai and water celery and put them into the small bowls in front of them.

These two dishes are must-have dishes on the New Year's Eve dinner table for every family in Qingyuan. I hope that the whole family will be safe and smooth in the coming year.
