Sun Mei didn't expect that her youngest son not only earned so much money and came back, but also brought back so many good things, and she was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Mi'er, are these things given to you by others?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "The notebook and fountain pen were sent by the manufacturer, and the others were sent by the master, he said that I performed very well, and in order to reward me, he gave me these things." ”

Niu Dongxiang, who was outspoken, immediately said: "Grandpa Fang is really good enough for you, unlike treating the eldest brother, I have never heard of anything he gave to the eldest brother, if you want me to see, the main thing is that the eldest brother can't be a person, if it were me, he wouldn't like his kind of person, the younger brother, you are different, you have a kind of honest personality, down-to-earth and diligent, which kind of person doesn't like to be a master?"

Niu Dongxiang's words were said to be in Niu Xiaoqiang's heart, and even Sun Mei and Niu Chunxiang, who were standing on the side, were speechless to refute. There's no way, people are telling the truth, compared with Niu Xiaoqiang, Niu Xiaogang's character is indeed very problematic.

Sun Mei shook her head and took Moutai and Hongtashan into the back room. The three children saw that their mother had a pimple in their hearts, and they were very sensible and did not continue to criticize Niu Xiaogang, otherwise they were afraid that their mother would be sad.

There are a total of eight notebooks, Niu Xiaoqiang gave one to Niu Xiaoyong before, and there are seven left. He picked up four books and handed them to Niu Dongxiang: "Sister, you put these away, and you can use them for studying in the future." ”

Niu Dongxiang didn't shirk it, and accepted the gift from the younger brother with a smile. The remaining three notebooks, Niu Xiaoqiang was going to give Niu Flowers and Niu Xiaodong one by one, and he kept the last one for himself.

Mother Sun Mei put away the cigarettes and alcohol and walked out, there was still a good shirt left on the table, she took the clothes in her hand and looked at it repeatedly, and finally handed it back to Niu Xiaoqiang: "Er, the family hasn't bought you new clothes for several years, you can keep this shirt and wear it yourself." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head very sensibly: "Mom, the size of this dress is a bit big, Dad is wearing it just right, I can still make money in the future, and I will buy a set of fits when the time comes." ”

Sun Mei wanted to persuade again, but Niu Xiaoqiang insisted on stuffing the shirt into Sun Mei's hand: "Isn't it just a shirt, when my son has a future interest, let alone a shirt, I can buy you a tractor to come back!"

The last sentence sounded a little funny, Sun Mei smiled and nodded: "Okay, mother waits for that day." ”

Although he only got a notebook and six yuan, Niu Xiaoqiang didn't feel distressed at all. He felt that as a member of the family, he should contribute to the family. If you are as cold and thin as Niu Xiaogang, what is the point of living?

At seven o'clock in the evening, the mothers set up the dining table at the door of the house, and everyone sat together, eating happily and chatting.

Niu Dongxiang used to study in the county, and every time she came home, she would tell about the new things she saw in the county, and today is no exception. Just after eating a few bites, Niu Dongxiang opened the conversation: "When I was about to go home with my luggage on my back yesterday afternoon, I saw many small traders hurriedly putting away their stalls and running home. ”

Among the people present, Niu Dongxiang has the highest level of education, and she is studying in the county seat, so her horizons are relatively broad, so it is not surprising that this kind of words came out of her mouth.

Sun Mei looked at the wine table at the door of the old branch secretary's house, and said in a low voice: "Sister, don't say a word, this is a national event, and we, the ordinary people, had better not get involved." ”

Niu Dongxiang was not so easily persuaded, she pouted: "Mom, your guts are too small, just talking, what is there to worry about?"

Niu Qiuxiang nodded: "Mom, I think my sister is right, although we are ordinary people, we still have the right to discuss it." ”

Sun Mei rolled her eyes: "Mother, but you are a person who has experienced that era, what have you never seen?" You are still too young to know how powerful." ”

Niu Chunxiang is relatively old, and she remembers the events of the year very clearly, and she is on the same front as her mother: "Mother is right, you can't think about things so simply, once you get into trouble, it's too late to regret it." ”

Niu Dongxiang retorted: "Is our dad in trouble today?

What Niu Dazhuang did today is not small, but the town leaders not only did not pursue it, but also came to apologize in person, which was a big victory in Niu Dongxiang's opinion.

Sun Mei and Niu Chunxiang have never studied, nor have they seen much of the world, so they are not so clear about the doorway in this matter.

Niu Xiaoqiang is different, he often accepts Fang Dongping's teachings, he has seen a lot of people and things recently, and he couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "Fourth sister, today's matter is not as simple as you think, yes, our dad is indeed very majestic, but his prestige is based on the clan power of the entire Lao Niu family, if there is no entire clan to support him, he is now afraid that he has been arrested, to put it bluntly, the leaders of the town are not afraid of our father, but the entire Lao Niu family." ”

In general, Niu Xiaoqiang never interjected in discussions of this nature, and his uncharacteristically intervened today, which attracted the attention of the other four people.

Niu Dongxiang sighed: "Little brother, you have grown your skills, and you still know so many ways, so you can tell the big guy, is what is happening in society good or bad?"

Niu Xiaoqiang stuffed a pickled radish into his mouth and chewed it a few times before he spoke: "I personally think it's not very good, it has a negative effect on economic development, but as the eldest sister just said, some things can't be thought about too simply, otherwise you will suffer a big loss." ”

Niu Qiuxiang teased: "Little brother, if you really want to talk about it, if you go out with Grandpa Fang to earn extra money, it can be regarded as speculation, don't you do it too?

Niu Xiaoqiang had never considered this problem before, and the reason was very simple, "Third sister, speculation is mainly aimed at market business behavior, that is, those businessmen who resell things, where can they have anything to do with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wine table at the door of the old branch secretary's house was completely quiet, and the few people who were talking and laughing just now all shut up.

The villagers, who were eating dinner in front of their homes, felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere and turned their heads to look.

At this time, the voice of the news broadcast came from the TV set of the old branch scrivener: "Hu Lin, the king of hardware, Zheng Qing, the king of coils, Ye Hua, the king of catalogs, Liu Yuan, the king of screws, Cheng Qing, the king of mining lamps, Zheng Zhong, the king of electrical appliances, and Wang Qian, the king of thrift goods, have all been arrested according to law, and the amount of money involved in their collective cases is as high as hundreds of millions of yuan, and the task force has launched an in-depth investigation into the speculators, and what awaits them will be severely punished by the law!"
