Chapter 239

Su Wunjun and Guo Suhua also walked over to look at this painting, and they also praised it endlessly: "Xinghui, is this the bamboo weaving craft painting from the bamboo weaving factory in Wild Boar Gully Village that you mentioned? This is really beautiful, this girl's hands are too skillful."

Su Xinghui said to Xia Zhu: "Xia Zhu, I accept your heart, but I can't accept this painting. It's too valuable, a painting costs over a thousand yuan."

Xia Zhu was so anxious that her face turned red: "Brother Xinghui, how can you not accept it? If it weren't for you helping our family, our family would have collapsed long ago, and I don't know where I would be suffering. No matter how expensive this painting can be sold, it's just a piece of my heart. If you don't accept it, I will throw it away."

Xia Lan also persuaded: "Yes, Director Su, this painting was carefully woven by Xia Zhu, and it is woven much better than the same painting she handed to Deputy Director Li last time. If you don't accept it, she will be sad."

Su Xinghui knew that it might really not be appropriate for him not to accept this painting today. He pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, then I will accept this painting. As for these pheasants and bamboo rats, you should take them back. These things are also quite expensive. If I accept them, I will make a mistake."

Fang Youcai said: "That won't do. This is the heart of all the people in the village. If you don't accept it, when we go back, all the people in the village will blame us."

Su Xinghui thought for a while and said: "Then how about this, I'll pay."

Zhao Zhongfu was anxious: "Director Su, we are just paying you an early New Year's visit. If you pay, it's equivalent to slapping our faces."

Su Xinghui was a bit scratching his head. In this situation, it didn't seem appropriate for him not to accept it, but if he accepted it, opening this opening, he was really afraid of making a mistake.

Seeing this scene, Guo Suhua laughed: "How about this, we accept these things, and just keep a few guests to eat at our house."

Su Xinghui thought to himself, it could only be like this. He said to the group: "Okay, then I will accept this heart this time. But let's agree, this is the only time. In the future, when you come to my house, there will be food at any time, but you are not allowed to bring anything. I believe you wouldn't want me to make a mistake, right?"

Fang Youcai laughed: "Okay, this is the only time!"

Su Xinghui and Zhao Zhongfu carried the cages into the kitchen together and put them down. Zhao Zhongfu also brought a snake-skin bag, which he also put on the ground. He said to Su Xinghui: "Inside is a little feed, for the pheasants and bamboo rats to eat. You can raise them for a day, and kill them before the New Year's dinner tomorrow, it will be fresher."

Su Xinghui nodded and said he knew.

Guo Suhua went into the kitchen to cook, and Su Xinghui and Su Wunjun sat in the living room to accompany the guests and chat.

In front of Su Wunjun, Fang Youcai and the others naturally praised Su Xinghui as if he were rare in the world, but what they said was all facts. Wild Boar Gully Village did indeed have hope for prosperity because of Su Xinghui.

Su Wunjun rarely heard his son talk about these things. Hearing these village cadres' praise for his son, he naturally could tell they were sincere. His son's actions in the township also made him feel heartfelt joy and made him feel proud of his son.

The New Year was coming, and many dishes at home were ready-made, so Guo Suhua quickly brought out a table of dishes and invited the guests to the table.

Su Xinghui opened a bottle of Jiangcheng Spring, poured it for Fang Youcai and Zhao Zhongfu, and took a can of Jianlibao for each of the sisters Xia Lan and Xia Zhu.

Fang Youcai said: "I don't dare to accept this, setting up such a big table of dishes, and drinking such good wine, this is really disturbing."

Su Xinghui said: "Secretary Fang, what are you saying? You are guests when you come, you must drink more today."

Su Wunjun raised his glass and said: "Brother Fang, I am a doctor and cannot drink too much wine, so I can only accompany you a little bit, you drink more."

Fang Youcai hurriedly raised his glass to clink with Su Wunjun and drank a glass.

The others also raised their glasses one after another, wishing Su Xinghui's family a happy New Year.

Su Xinghui also raised his glass and said: "Come, I will toast you all together, wishing your Yezhugou Village will be better next year, and every family will make a fortune!"

Fang Youcai laughed loudly: "Then I will borrow Director Su's auspicious words, and we also wish Director Su to rise steadily and become a big official soon!"

Su Xinghui said he didn't dare, Xia Lan said: "What is there not to dare? A cadre like you, Director Su, who has ability and good character, if you can't be a big official, then the leaders above are all blind."

Su Xinghui said hurriedly: "Sister Xia Lan, don't talk nonsense, if the leaders hear it, they will think I am asking them for an official position, and then I will complain. Then I will really have no one to promote me."

The group laughed loudly, and Xia Zhu also covered her mouth and laughed.

Xia Zhu's smile was like a flower. Guo Suhua looked at this girl who was so beautiful, and looked especially pure, not as vulgar as many girls in the county town, and the down jacket she wore was also quite good-looking, not like a rural girl, so she liked her.

Guo Suhua took a pair of serving chopsticks and picked up dishes for Xia Zhu in her bowl: "Xia Zhu, right? Taste how the dishes Auntie made are?"

Xia Zhu nodded: "Thank you, Auntie, the dishes Auntie made are all delicious, I like them very much."

Guo Suhua immediately beamed with joy: "This girl is really good at talking, she is so beautiful, and her hands are skillful, I don't know which family's young man is so lucky to be able to marry you as a daughter-in-law."

As soon as this was mentioned, Xia Zhu's face turned red. She stole a glance at Su Xinghui and lowered her head.

Xia Lan laughed: "Auntie, my sister hasn't talked about a marriage yet."

The glance Xia Zhu gave Su Xinghui just now was fully seen by Guo Suhua. She had a number in her heart. She nodded repeatedly and said: "Good, good, good, it's good that there is no marriage."

Su Xinghui saw Guo Suhua always staring at Xia Zhu, and he said somewhat dissatisfied: "Mom, don't always stare at Xia Zhu, making people feel embarrassed to eat."

Guo Suhua then nodded and laughed: "Okay, Xia Zhu, eat more dishes."

Xia Zhu nodded: "Okay, Auntie!"

Su Xinghui raised his glass to Fang Youcai, Zhao Zhongfu, and Xia Lan again: "Secretary Fang, Director Zhao, Sister Xia Lan, my work below during this period of time is thanks to your support. Come, I will toast you again!"

The group raised their glasses together and said: "The work you do is for our own good. If we don't support you, that would be not knowing what's good for us!"

Su Xinghui drank this glass and said: "Next year's work, I still have to ask for your support!"

"No problem, Director Su, whatever you say, we will do! We will definitely not hold you back!" The group responded loudly.

Seeing that his son was so loved by the village cadres below, Su Wunjun and his wife looked in their eyes and were happy in their hearts. It seemed that their son was really doing very well below. Their son was so promising, so they, as parents, could rest assured.
