Chapter 0430 – Birthday Banquet
As soon as YaYa returned home, she would remember the day she saw her parents lying on the bed after school, and her spirit was very unstable, so in desperation, Peng Fei took his sister away from home, and first found a job as a security guard in a cabaret.
But the cabaret in those messy things, let Peng Fei is very accustomed to see those drug trafficking and drug abuse, Peng Fei several times almost did not hold back, want to break each other’s necks, and then simply resigned, came here to rent a house, dry up the porter.
Peng Fei dry porter’s income is not high, a day can only earn fifty or sixty dollars, and rent this broken house, a month but also four or five hundred dollars, plus Peng Fei and want to save some money, and so next year to let Ya Ya go to school, so siblings, the day has been very hard, but where to buy some good food, Peng Fei have let his sister, and afraid of Ya Ya learning to keep up with the Hao Long on the night time, to help his sister to make up for the elementary school’s Hao Long took the evening to help his sister with her elementary school homework.
Zhuang Rui listened to Hao Long after this, the heart is also sighing, this person is really very fragile, life for the existence of hundreds of millions of years of the earth, is too short, which also let Zhuang Rui in the heart of the decision to cherish the present life, cherish every loved one around.
After Zhuang Rui and Hao Long returned to the house, Peng Fei put down the apple he was peeling for his sister, stood up from the table and said, “Boss Zhuang, I’d better go over tomorrow! The work of the cargo yard is going to quit, this house is also going to be retired, today is also late, DaLong turn back to give me the address, wait for tomorrow I find myself to go over ……”
“Eh? Wolf’s tooth?!”
Zhuang Rui did not pay attention to the words of Peng Fei, he entered the house was Peng Fei hand peeling apple knife to attract, that knife he is too familiar with, before often see Zhou Rui in the hand to play, they have not been clear, Zhou Rui exactly where the knife is hidden in the body?
Peng Fei heard Zhuang Rui’s words, his face moved a little, a flip of the wrist, just now also in the fingers playing with the knife, magically disappeared, a pair of eyes looked at Zhuang Rui, said: “Zhuang boss is how to know that I come from the Wolf Teeth troops?”
The secrecy level of Peng Fei’s troop is very high, that is Hao Long, also only know a little bit about it, and Zhuang Rui just saw his knife, actually can guess his own origin, let Peng Fei can’t help but eat a shock, look at Zhuang Rui’s eyes, also become serious.
“I have a friend who has a knife in his hand that is exactly the same as yours, you should be from the same place, right?” Zhuang Rui paused for a moment and then said, “My friend is called Zhou Rui ……”
“Old squad leader? Boss Zhuang, do you have the phone number of Class Captain Zhou? Can you give it to me?”
Peng Fei heard Zhuang Rui’s words, has always appeared a bit of ancient well face, finally revealed a look of surprise, Zhuang Rui is also listening to a stunned, this China’s population of more than a billion people, actually will be so coincidental, Peng Fei and Zhou Rui actually know? It is also really from a troop.
“There, there, I’ll write it down for you ……”
Zhuang Rui left Zhou Rui’s cell phone number for Peng Fei on Ya Ya’s workbook, then said to Hao Long, “Hao, you take the cell phone to Peng Fei first! Tomorrow you drive my car to pick them up, after this busy period, I’ll give Peng Fei a cell phone ……”
As early as last month, Zhuang Rui bought a cell phone for Hao Long, for the current Zhuang Rui, this thing is not worth a few dollars, it is also convenient to contact, because his mansion is really too big, call the central courtyard and then go to shout, I’m afraid that we have to wait for several minutes.
“Boss, tomorrow I’ll just rent a car and come over, don’t you have something else!” Hao Long took out his cell phone from his pocket and handed it over to Peng Fei.
“It’s fine, I have a car to go tomorrow.”
Who didn’t have a car with Ouyang Long and the others! A ride would be good, Zhuang Rui saw that things were pretty much done, so he said to Peng Fei, “That’s it for now! We’re going back, just take Yaya over tomorrow.”
“Thank you, thank you Boss Zhuang ……”
Peng Fei said this sentence is sincere, in Zhuang Rui just came, his heart is to Zhuang Rui as a rich boss only, as long as the sister can settle down, Peng Fei even if he suffered a bit of aggression is nothing, the heart of Zhuang Rui not much respect.
But after Zhuang Rui came to the house, treat their sister’s attitude, and a mouthful of drink the bowl of two pots of wine of the bold behavior, let Peng Fei some impressed, according to Hao Long’s statement, this is a billionaire boss, to Peng Fei’s feeling, but there is not a ding child frame, so that people unconsciously have a good feeling.
And when Zhuang Rui said and Zhou Rui is a friend, Peng Fei heart is born three respect to, he knows, his old class president but the eyes can not tolerate the sand of the people, Zhuang Rui if it is sneaky people, and the old class president absolutely can not make friends.
Peng Fei let Zhuang Rui write down Zhou Rui’s cell phone number, ready to go to pick up a phone line in a while to steal a phone call, I did not expect Zhuang Rui directly let Hao Long to stay on the phone, which shows that Zhuang Rui heart frank, and not afraid of him and Zhou Rui contact.
Zhuang Rui and Hao Long drove back to the courtyard, it is already more than 10:00 pm, Zhuang Rui went to the sister-in-law there, explained, let her tomorrow to pack a house out of the front yard of the house has been no one lives, there are two bedrooms, there are independent restrooms and bathrooms, just to Peng Fei siblings live.
After finishing these things, Zhuang Rui took a shower and went to bed, tomorrow the old man’s birthday, but to go to the line in spirit, but this just went to sleep, the phone rang again.
“Brother Zhou? Oh, is Peng Fei gave you a phone call, right?”
Zhuang Rui took a look at the caller ID, his heart understood, he originally wanted to call Zhou Rui, just a little late, did not call over, did not expect Zhou Rui instead called over.
“Yes, Zhuang Rui, really thank you ah, that boy is a good soldier, enlisted in the third year directly to the cadre, military quality than I am much stronger than I did not expect this kind of thing, alas, a pity.”
Zhou Rui in the phone voice is a little low, before the life and death of a comrade, home out of this kind of thing, his heart is also very bad, silent for a while, and then said: “Zhuang Rui, although I’m not very good at talking, but I know in my heart, today I can live in this day, thanks to you and Dachuan, there was no qualification to you to raise the request, as a brother Zhou begged you to help me that comrade, you there is a good soldier, you have to help me that comrade, you have to help me that comrade, you have to help me that comrade, you have to help me that comrade. Help my comrade in arms, if you can’t place him there, let him come to me.”
“Brother Zhou, there’s no such thing! It’s hard for me to find someone I can trust, so don’t get any ideas, don’t worry! I Zhuang Rui is what people, you are also clear, can not treat Peng Fei, at least in the future he will not mix worse than you ……”
Zhuang Rui heard the words of Zhou Rui, not happy, if you send you there, I spend so much effort to do ah!
Zhou Rui knows Zhuang Rui’s person, just said in the heat of the moment the words above, and now also know that they are out of line, and then did not mention it again, and Zhuang Rui chat a few Luo Jiang jade things, hung up the phone.
“You few kids, why are you only here now! Xiao Lu, Xiao Jun, you guys follow your big brother and go outside to welcome the guests, Xiao Rui, you come in and keep an eye on grandparents. Xu Qing, you’re physically pregnant, so don’t follow the busy work, go, take a few kids to the side room!”
As soon as Zhuang Rui and the others arrived at Yuquan Mountain the next day, they were assigned by Ouyang Wan to get busy, Ouyang Lei brought a few grandchildren, standing at the main entrance to greet the guests, Ouyang Zhenhua’s oldest brother three, were sitting in the side room, seeing people of similar status come, only then would they go out to greet them, they were quite old, their bodies and bones couldn’t take it outside.
From ten o’clock in the morning, began to come to the guests, today can door to the people, that at least are provincial ministerial level above the senior officials, like the hall cadres, as early as a few days before the visit, the relationship is closer, belonging to the Ouyang family within the sphere of influence, may be able to see the old man one side, the relationship a little farther, can only look at the post and gifts sent, and even the qualifications of the door to see the old man are not.
Reception of these people, most of them are Ouyang Zhenwu accompanied, in the house will sit a little longer, most of these people are the old master’s former old subordinates, or people who have been lifted up, in a way, is also the roots of the Ouyang family.
Ouyang Gang today’s spirit is very good, wearing an old-fashioned military uniform without shoulder insignia and collar, sitting in the hall, waist straight, previously met a few old subordinates, let him have a kind of return to a few decades ago, commanding thousands of horses when the feeling.
After the guests came in, most of them greeted the old man, and then said some words of blessing, was led out by the staff, in the Yuquan Mountain originally had a small auditorium, today was used as a banquet, where it has long been set on the melon and fruit platters.
From the old man here out of the people, all to the small auditorium sat down, these people were familiar with each other, but also calmly chatting, waiting for the old man over at noon after the birthday banquet began.
Just now, Ouyang Jun ran around there, came back and said that if this falls a bomb, the country immediately to have more than half of the provinces paralyzed, this was his old man heard, angry Ouyang Zhenwu wringing Ouyang Jun’s ear pulled the room to teach a lesson.
Zhuang Rui today is the most free, his task is to accompany the old man and old lady chatting inside, looking at the few cousins with guests in and out, is very superior.
Just in the house is a little bad, but whenever someone comes in, after giving the old man and old lady birthday, the eyes always have to be in Zhuang Rui body survey a half day, as if Zhuang Rui face long flowers in general, make him very uncomfortable.
But Zhuang Rui this day is also considered a long time to see, in this day can come in, none of them is not a local officer, or the military generals holding heavy power, this time to come to the people but to August 15 much more, one by one in Zhuang Rui’s eyes, all is a dignified face, a long time to live in the upper echelon of the people.
Zhuang Rui just checked, alone admiral came more than ten, lieutenant general major general is more numerous, just their treatment is a little worse, most are three or five people come in together to the old man to celebrate his birthday.
One of the Hong Kong Commander is also among them, but Zhuang Rui look at his rank, has been promoted to Lieutenant General, in the room, nodded to Zhuang Rui, but there is no time to talk, behind the queue of people too much ah!
To eleven thirty at noon, Zhuang Rui holding Grandpa, Ouyang Wan holding Grandma, came to the birthday banquet hall, the auditorium set up a dozen tables, in the center of the position, there is a large word of life, Ouyang Gang walked into the auditorium, the applause rang out.
In that the CCTV famous black-faced sensational male host, voice introduced the old man’s life story, a and Ouyang Zhenhua level of the Politburo Standing Committee, on behalf of the party and the people wished the old man good health, said some auspicious words, and then it is the Ouyang family of the younger generation, to the old man to wish him good luck, and offer gifts.
This order should naturally start from the eldest Ouyang Zhenhua, in fact, the gift is not anything special, just some ten thousand years old, birthday plaque and other objects, the old man old lady is mainly to see the children and grandchildren, the heart will be satisfied.
“Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, I wish you two old men good health and all the best ……”
After Ouyang Zhenhua’s brothers had finished paying their respects, Ouyang Wan brought her son and daughter, as well as her son-in-law’s grandson, and came forward, bowing a few times to the two old men sitting on the chairs in a disciplined manner.
“Hey? That young man is the old man’s grandson, right? How come he just took a fruit basket up, this is too shabby, right?”
“Yeah! Young people nowadays! Doing everything perfunctorily, the head’s birthday is such an important thing, do the younger generation is still so careless, really shouldn’t be ……”
A few people in front of the birthday gift, although not particularly expensive, but have its meaning, compared to Zhuang Rui hand carrying, the kind of hospital in front of the door of thirty or fifty dollars can buy fruit baskets, it seems a little bit not very dignified.
Although the field of these people, for gifts and other things outside the body, see is not very important, but on the Zhuang Rui take things, or a little scoffing, in fact, they really did not guess wrong, Zhuang Rui put the jade carving ornaments of the bamboo basket, really spent a hundred dollars from the side of the road to buy, just to the original flowers to come out only.
What makes the crowd a bit angry is that Zhuang Rui actually also took out that fruit plate and placed it on an octagonal wooden coffee table in the middle of the old master and old lady’s seat, looking at that, it seems that he still wants to persuade the two old men to take a bite!
“I say old five, what are you up to? We are brothers, you have the thickest family, how come the things you take out are so shabby?” After Zhuang Rui retreated to the main family seat, Ouyang Jun sarcastically spoke in a low voice.
When Zhuang Rui was about to reply, Ouyang Lei, who had just gone to send off that big brother, suddenly walked in quickly from outside the auditorium, said something in the old man’s ear, and Ouyang Gang, who had been sitting steadily in his chair, actually stood up.
