61 Two Cars at the Birthday Banquet (Part 1)
On the evening of the 27th day of the Chinese New Year, it was the first snowfall in Zhongzhou. The snowflakes in the suburbs were large, and the urban area was densely populated and the temperature was relatively small.
In the room in the master bedroom of Ni Shang's house, there was spring. Ni Shang's mother Bai Bingyan washed her hair and put her head up. The wet smelled of shampoo. Ni Jianguo sat on the bed, looking at his wife who had been married for twenty years under the lamp. She had a straight nose bridge and small and crystal ears. Although there were crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, her legs were straight and there was no gap between them. She was worthy of being a professional dancing person in the past. If you only talk about appearance and figure, her lover Ru Yun was quite inferior.
Bai Bingyan wore pajamas and pajamas, got into the quilt and asked her husband: "Is everything ready for my mother's birthday party tomorrow?"
Ni Jianguo said: "Don't worry. I called the hotel again today to confirm the car problem. I have also implemented it, and there will be no problems."
Bai Bingyan said: "My second brother will be so awesome when he opens a Santana a day. We will also make him shut up tomorrow."
Ni Jianguo gave a gift and spent a lot of effort. He finally asked for a Passat, which was exclusively used by the director and secretary from the bureau (the Education Bureau has only two vehicles in total). He would take his mother-in-law to a hotel tomorrow, which was a show of a show to win the face of the elderly.
Bai Bingyan snuggled her head into her husband's arms and said softly: "Mom's 60th birthday must make her happier. My brothers and sisters-in-law usually like to talk, so we should show them that we are no worse than theirs to respect our mother."
After marrying Ni Jianguo for the past few years, although his life is worry-free, people from his parents often say that Bai Bingyan should marry better, and that whoever pursued her became the deputy director and who became a millionaire in the south. Bai Bingyan was also very unhappy when she heard this, and wanted to prove that her life was very good in front of her parents' family.
Ni Jianguo enjoyed his wife's tenderness, hugged her in his arms, inserted his right hand into his pajamas, stroked his smooth and flat belly, and gently stroked it. Bai Bingyan said softly: "Thank you for your hard work these days, let me serve you well today." He untied his pajamas, exposed his plump breasts and straight legs, and turned over and leaned on his husband.
At the beginning of the winter vacation, Bai Bingyan took her mother home. Over the years, her mother lived at her two brothers' houses. Although Bai Bingyan also subsidized RMB 1 in living expenses every month, she could not be better filial to her if she was not around for a long time. After the winter vacation, Ni Jianguo spent more time. Although he was not at home every day, he had time to go out to buy vegetables or something, and he didn't need to work overtime. Ni Shang was at home every day, which was also considered as helping her parents to respect her grandmother.
Ni Shang is very well-behaved. He never gets impatient when talking to the old man. He often accompanys his grandmother for a walk or shopping. Although Bai Bingyan's mother knew that this granddaughter was very good, she had not lived in her daughter's house for many years. After staying here, compared to Ni Shang and her grandchildren, it was simply in the sky and earth. Those children were not much older than Ni Shang, but they always thought that their grandmother talked too much and had no common language, and were unwilling to say much to the old man. Even if the food was ready and brought to the table to serve them, they never said thank you.
The old lady praised Ni Shang for being sensible and well-behaved at the dinner table every day. Bai Bingyan knew that her husband and her parents' relationship had not been so smooth over the years, but she was happy to see her daughter become a good lubricant.
Since the old lady moved into the Ni family, the one who had the biggest opinion of her was not someone else, but Jiang Zhihan. Because Ni Shang had to accompany her grandmother these days, Jiang Zhihan had only seen her once, and it took only half an hour.
On the morning of the 28th day of the New Year, Jiang Zhihan and his mother did not go to the bookstore. Today is the day to greet my aunt's house. There are too many people to meet during the Spring Festival holiday, so they had to go there in advance. Anyway, Li Rongrong would go back to her to invite her brothers and sisters at home on the fourth day of the New Year. My aunt's house is in another area, and it takes about 40 minutes to take the bus from a long distance.
The mother and son left before 9:30. Although they have a lot of money now, Li Rongrong still adheres to the nature of saving and is unwilling to make a taxi. She would rather transfer to the bus twice than spend that money.
Shi Lin was asked to take a day off, and her mother asked her to accompany her former classmates, her husband and son at home. Shi Lin was thinking about her mother's intentions and wanted to help her build a bridge. She felt very depressed. Her experience of blind date last time made her hate such things. She used the excuse that the guest would arrive in the afternoon, so Shi Lin slipped out of the monk and said she wanted to go to the bookstore where Li Rongrong had been shooting for a long time.
On Bai Bingyan's mother's 60th birthday, she booked a place for dinner at Zhongzhou Hotel. This year, the hotel did not implement a star rating system, but Zhongzhou Hotel, as a place to entertain foreign guests and leaders, is recognized as one of the highest-end places in Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou Hotel also has a restaurant, and Ni Jianguo booked ten tables to entertain relatives and friends. From borrowing a car to booking a banquet, Ni Jianguo spent a lot of money this time. First, he knew that his mother-in-law had a good face, and the higher grade on his 60th birthday would help improve his tension with his mother's family and would also be very beneficial to the relationship between husband and wife. Secondly, after having a lover outside in the past few months, Ni Jianguo felt a little guilty towards his wife, which was also a disguised compensation, but the parties involved were not aware of it.
The birthday party started at 12:30. According to the plan, Bai Bingyan's two brothers and their family would come to their house before 11:30, and then the family would take three cars, one Santana driven by Brother Bai Bingyan, and the other two were Passat and Chang'an vans borrowed by Ni Jianguo. Zhongzhou Hotel is actually very close to Ni Jianguo, and it is only a dozen minutes' drive away. After arriving, the family still has time to wait for the guests.
At ten o'clock, Ni Jianguo called the unit's car office and asked them to get out of the car. In order to borrow this Passat, Ni Jianguo did a lot of effort. The deputy director of the office director who was responsible for the car allocation gave a lot of New Year gifts. The team leader who was directly responsible for the car allocation also gave Ni Jianguo a generous gift. As well as almost every driver in the car office, Ni Jianguo packed cigarettes and said a lot of good things. At that time, Ni Jianguo patted his chest and said that he wanted to borrow a Passat as his mother-in-law.
When he was still a little impulsive. For this sentence, he lost money and begged his father to sue his grandmother. He took the initiative to the boss and felt a little regretful that he was too impulsive. Facing those junior high school or advanced drivers, Ni Jianguo felt that he had to keep his figure very low and felt a sense of humiliation. But you must know that although these drivers have low education, they have served the director and director for many years. A small deputy section chief is nothing in their eyes.
The driver Xiao Zhang answered the phone, and Ni Jianguo had several packs of cigarettes. Xiao Zhang said on the phone: "Secretary Ni, things seem to have changed a little. I'll ask Deputy Team Leader Lin, who is in charge of shunting, to answer your phone."
Ni Jianguo felt a chill and had an ominous premonition.
Two minutes later, a voice rang out from the phone: "Chief Ni, right? Qin Liyuan, my small car department. That's right. Your Passat, has something to do and was transferred away." Qin Liyuan is the deputy team leader in charge of the transfer of the small car department. When Ni Jianguo gave gifts, Team Leader Zhang and the two directors of the office were of the same level. Deputy Team Leader Qin and several drivers gave two packs of good cigarettes. Someone told Qin Liyuan that he felt unhappy at the time. Tmd, put me and ordinary drivers on the same treatment, which was too ignorant. Today, Team Leader Zhang personally drove the director to the provincial capital to pay New Year's greetings, and the two office directors also went to the following units. The Spring Festival is here, and there are many people coming and going, and the leaders are the hardest at this time. If these three people are not here, Qin Liwen becomes the person in charge.
At around nine o'clock, Deputy Director Zhang's eldest son called and wanted to transfer a Passat for use. Qin Liwen originally wanted to give Ni Jianguo some eye medicine, and to please Mr. Zhang, by the way, it was a matter of undesirable interest. Everyone in the bureau knew that although Deputy Director Zhang was a deputy, his wife's family background was deep and even the director could not catch up.
Qin Liwen said on the phone: "There is a Passat who followed the director to the provincial capital. There is still one here, but it seems that Team Leader Zhang has arranged to get out at 11 o'clock."
Mr. Zhang pondered, "That's right."
Qin Liwen heard Mr. Zhang hesitation and hurriedly said, "Who will I ask for the car for you?" He pretended to search for it for a while and said, "It's a deputy section chief named Ni in the General Education Department."
Mr. Zhang said, "Uh?" Several uncles in his family are not inferior to his father's official positions. Mr. Zhang has never taken the deputy director of the Education Bureau too seriously. However, he temporarily took the car he had booked in advance, and the impact was not good, so he hesitated for a moment. Now, when he heard a deputy section chief, he no longer hesitated and said, "When did Passat of the Education Bureau become the section chief use the car?"
Qin Liwen smiled apologized and said, "This, sometimes when you are free, help comrades with demands. This situation is also true."
Mr. Zhang said: "In this way, I will use the car first. Please help me coordinate with the section chief, and we really need it urgently."
Qin Liwen smiled apologized and said, "Of course I have no problem. However, the two directors of the office seemed to have explained this before leaving, so..."
Mr. Zhang said: "You are the leader of the Xiaoches Department, right? I will go and say hello to the two directors in person, so don't worry."
Qin Liwen hurriedly said, "That's good. Why don't you tell me the address and I'll help you get out of the car right away."
Mr. Zhang reported the address and finally said, "Team Leader Qin, I remember you about this. Goodbye."
Qin Liwen hung up the phone happily, not only pleased Mr. Zhang, but also did not take the responsibility of offending the two directors, but also gave some eye drops to the young section chief who looked down on him. It was a perfect thing.
Ni Jianguo suppressed his anger and asked, "Team Leader Qin, wasn't this a matter agreed? Regarding the schedule, Team Leader Zhang and the two directors have also studied this time. "
Qin Liwen scolded in his heart, tmd, is it amazing to know Team Leader Zhang and the two directors? He said in an official voice: "Didn't you tell you, is there something happening temporarily?"
Ni Jianguo thought that the old man had not given gifts, but just packed cigarettes, and was afraid that he had detained the car and made it difficult for him, so he asked, "Who wants the car?"
Qin Liwen said coldly: "Deputy Director Zhang."
Ni Jianguo's heart sank. Everyone in the bureau knew that Deputy Director Zhang was a very strong deputy director. But he thought that he had been running up and down for a week and gave something worth hundreds of dollars, but in the end he ended up with this result. He also thought about his wife's gentle face and tenderness last night. What would she react if she learned about the news? Ni Jianguo finally failed to hold back his temper and complained: "Even if this car is booked, even if Deputy Director Zhang can't change it one or two hours in advance, right?"
Qin Liwen said sarcastically: "Oh, when did Passat become the section chief's special car? I was the first to hear about it."
Ni Jianguo asked: "Can Team Leader Zhang answer the phone?"
Qin Liwen snorted coldly and said, "You call the provincial director, and you can find Team Leader Zhang." After that, he hung up the phone. A deputy section chief was very arrogant. Qin Liwen sneered and turned around and went out.
Ni Jianguo hurriedly found the phone book and called Director Wang and Deputy Director Tie of the office. Unfortunately, neither of them were in the office. Ni Jianguo was suddenly panicked, thought for two minutes, and went to the bedroom to talk to his wife about the situation.
When Bai Bingyan heard this, she couldn't help but complain: "After all, you are a section chief in your bureau. Why can anyone ride on you in the small car to bully you?"
Ni Jianguo swallowed his anger and said, "Is there anyone else? You can ask if you can borrow a car. It's not Passat, but one with a lower gear is OK."
Bai Bingyan said angrily: "Even if someone can help, it's impossible to come here just by saying that. You'll send the car over in less than an hour. Haven't you been busy for a week?"
Ni Jianguo knew that what his wife said was reasonable, so he sat there without saying a word. Bai Bingyan's chest was up and down, and she was angry for a while, and said to Ni Jianguo: "This time I can say the big talk, it's a shame. No matter what, you have to find a car to send someone over. Passat is gone, and Changan car will always come."
Ni Jianguo hated Qin's surname in his heart and was unwilling to call him again and whisper to beg him. But in the end he bit the bullet and dialed the phone. The person who answered the phone said: "Section Chief Ni, Deputy Team Leader Qin said that there is a Changan car, but a piece of glass is broken. On this snowy day, it may be bad for the cold wind to blow in and blow people. If you don't mind..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ni Jianguo cursed, "It's too much!" He hung up the phone with a bang. He said that Deputy Team Leader Qin is also a bachelor, and knew that he had offended Ni Jianguo anyway, so he would not give him any face.
Ni Jianguo returned to the bedroom and was so angry that his whole body shook. Ni Shang came over just now and saw that his mother looked bad and was whispering to ask.
Bai Bingyan saw Ni Jianguo walking in, her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly, and asked, "What? The Changan Car has also been ruined?"
Ni Jianguo resisted the feeling of humiliation and called again. Unexpectedly, he was humiliating himself, and his anger was about to explode. After hearing his wife's question, he shook his hand and brushed the teacup on the coffee table to the ground, and smashed it into pieces with a bang.
Bai Bingyan's face changed and pointed at Ni Jianguo and asked sternly: "After you are angry with outsiders, do you only dare to come back to your wife and children?"
Ni Shang was frightened by her father's actions. In her impression, her father always had a gentle and elegant image. When she got angry, she was at most calm and silent. Ni Shang pulled her mother's sleeve and advised her not to say anything again, as she was so anxious that she almost shed tears.
Ni Jianguo sat there without saying anything, thinking about his wife and family's sarcasm to him over the years, the anger he suffered in the office over the years, and the gentle woman Ru Yun, whose mind became confused.
Bai Bingyan was also very angry. She pointed at Ni Jianguo and said, "You touched your conscience and said, I have forced you to borrow a car for this time. It was you who asked yourself, and then you were full of confidence and said everything in front. Now there was a mistake, but you exhaled your anger on my head."
Ni Jianguo said in a muffled voice: "Will people die without a car? I'll go out and call two for rent, so that your mother can take your second brother's Santana."
Bai Bingyan wiped her tears and said, "My mother's birthday, don't say anything bad about death. You can call it for rent. Anyway, it's just a joke by her second brother and sister-in-law, who are just talking about it for a few years."
The old lady asked in the living room: "What's so loud? Did you fall?"
Ni Shang saw his parents wiped tears and the other was calm and silent. He said in Bai Bingyan's ear: "Mom, please say less. Dad felt uncomfortable." After that, he ran to the living room and said to his grandmother: "Grandma, Dad accidentally dropped a cup, and Mom was talking about him."
Grandma snorted and said, "Your dad threw his cup on my birthday. Are you demonstrating to the old lady?"
Ni Shang smiled and said, "Grandma, what are you saying? Didn't they say that every year is safe? This is a good omen." Grandma touched Ni Shang's head lovingly.
After a few minutes, Ni Shang saw that the door of her parents' bedroom was closed tightly, so she went back to her bedroom. She remembered that when she was a child, her father taught herself that she should not be lustful, and she should not be humble, but now she was forced to lose her composure by two cars. Although her parents have had occasional disputes since she grew up, she has never confronted her like this in front of her daughter. The more she thought about it, the more she felt heartbroken, and she hated that she could not share their worries. After a while, she was worried about how she would end up, and how her uncle and aunt would sarcastically become, and her heart became a mess.
