Chapter 2863: Full of hope
After Su Xinghui came out of the duty room, Zhai Yingjie helped him move his things to his house and then said to him, "Mayor Su, go to my house for dinner tonight. You are alone here, and it's not easy to cook. Now the restaurants haven't opened yet."
Su Xinghui pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Fine, then I will bother you today."
Zhai Yingjie said happily, "What are you saying? You are an honored guest we can't invite even if we want to."
Su Xinghui took some out of the specialties he brought back as a gift for eating at Zhai Yingjie's house. During this Spring Festival period, when visiting someone's house, one must not go empty-handed; that would be too rude. Of course, there was no need for too valuable gifts, just expressing a heart was enough.
Xia Song, of course, went to Zhai Yingjie's house with Su Xinghui. He had nowhere to eat either.
The three came to the Zhai family. Qianqian and Xiaoman were busy cooking at home. Seeing Su Xinghui and Xia Song come, they were very happy. When Zhai Yingjie went to pick up Su Xinghui today, they told Zhai Yingjie to make sure to invite Mayor Su to their house for dinner.
Now that Zhai Yingjie really invited Su Xinghui, how could they not be happy? Su Xinghui's kindness to their family could truly be said to be as heavy as a mountain.
If it weren't for Su Xinghui, let alone Zhai Yingjie being able to drive for him now, let alone Qianqian and Xiaoman having a decent job now, they didn't know what kind of miserable situation their family would have encountered. No matter how they repaid Su Xinghui, they were willing.
Qianqian and Xiaoman quickly greeted them. Seeing that Su Xinghui was still carrying some specialties in his hands, Qianqian said, "Mayor Su, you came to eat a meal, why are you carrying so many things?"
Su Xinghui laughed and said, "This is the New Year, can I just come to eat empty-handed?"
Xia Song also brought some local specialties from his hometown, Yezhugou, and put them in the corner with the ones Su Xinghui brought.
Xiaoman arranged for the two to brew tea, and Qianqian let the two sit on the sofa.
Su Xinghui noticed that when he came last time, the Zhai family didn't have this set of sofas. It seemed to be newly bought before the New Year, and other furnishings in the living room had also been changed, and the walls seemed to have been repainted, looking brand new.
Su Xinghui smiled and said, "You really have a new look for the New Year!"
Zhai Yingjie said embarrassedly, "The house was too dilapidated before. In fact, I earned some money from that barbecue stall in those few months, so after the work was stable now, I just fixed the house up, just for the New Year."
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "You should do this. Once the work is stable, you should improve your quality of life."
Now all three members of Zhai Yingjie's family had jobs, and their income was not low, especially Qianqian and Xiaoman, whose wages and bonuses at Yu Ruizhi's company were higher than Zhai Yingjie's book salary. Therefore, their days must be getting better and better.
After Qianqian and Xiaoman greeted the guests, they went into the kitchen to cook.
Zhai Yingjie said, "Mayor Su, Junzi and his brother are also coming for dinner today."
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Oh, good. It's more lively with more people eating."
Zhai Yingjie said, "Mainly because Junzi's brother wants to thank you in person, but he is afraid he can't invite you, so he told me. If you don't want to see him, I will call him and tell them not to come."
Zhai Yingjie was Su Xinghui's driver, so many people wanted to see Su Xinghui, and they all contacted Zhai Yingjie first. This was why the leader's driver was popular because there were people asking.
However, Zhai Yingjie was still very measured. He knew he couldn't make decisions for Su Xinghui casually, and he wouldn't pass messages to Su Xinghui for some unsavory people. Junzi and Ren Weidong were considered people recognized by Su Xinghui, so he would pass this message, and he also had to seek Su Xinghui's consent.
Su Xinghui was very satisfied with Zhai Yingjie's caution. Such a driver was a good driver.
Su Xinghui said, "Then call him now and let them come over now."
Su Xinghui could understand Ren Weidong's mood. He had been left out for a few years, and now he was finally re-employed and promoted. This was all because Su Xinghui helped him, so he certainly wanted to thank Su Xinghui.
And Su Xinghui also wanted to see Ren Weidong. Last time, Qi Guodong gave him a high evaluation, and Su Xinghui was also willing to encourage him.
Zhai Yingjie went to call Ren Weidong. After he put down the phone, not five minutes later, Ren Weidong and Ren Weijun, the two brothers, arrived together.
