Gong Tianying's face was serious and his expression was a little ugly. His eyes were fixed on the television and he had an unlit cigarette in his right hand. Hu Changqing felt a little numb in his heart. He thought that his late arrival had angered his uncle.
Meanwhile, her aunt, Huang Xiaoling, and her precious daughter, Gong Pei, were sitting on the couch in the middle. They looked very relaxed and chatted while watching TV, as if they did not see her uncle's expression. Her aunt, on the other hand, was dressed in the military uniform of a senior colonel. She looked valiant and valiant, but she was good-looking and did not have the awe-inspiring aura of a soldier. His aunt must have taken good care of herself. She still looked charming and did not look old at all. Sitting next to his 16-year-old cousin, she looked like a pair of sisters. She did not look like someone who was almost 40 years old at all.
Gong Tianying looked at Hu Changqing and scolded,"You're usually late for work and leave early to fool around with your friends. I asked you to have a meal and you made me wait for so long.”
Hu Changqing, on the other hand, sat on the sofa on the left very calmly. As he placed the car keys on the coffee table, he said slowly,"It's not like you don't know the traffic situation at this time. You're the leader of the municipal government now, after all. You're a deputy chief. Why don't you tell Old Qin about it? I left early to rush here and even ran a few red lights.”
After saying that, he looked at his aunt, who was smiling mockingly. He wanted to know what was going on. Why did she eat the first dish as soon as she arrived? And his cousin Gong Pei was also giggling at the side, making him even more confused.
When Gong Tianying heard Hu Changqing's retort, he wanted to say something, but Huang Xiaoling interrupted him with a smile and said,"Secretary Gong, are you done? Don't put on your official airs at home, okay? I just didn't let you eat this cigarette before dinner. Save this cigarette. You can eat it after dinner. You can smoke one less cigarette. We're doing this for your own good.”He then said to Hu Changqing and Gong Pei,"You two, go wash your hands and prepare to eat."”With that, he turned off the TV and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
Seeing his uncle's embarrassed expression, Hu Changqing immediately vented his anger. So he was venting his anger. However, he couldn't help but find it funny. He thought to himself, If the outsiders knew that the iron-faced man who was famous in the entire provincial capital had no status at home, who knew how many people would be shocked? Hu Changqing couldn't help but feel a little pity.
However, this didn't stop him from casting a disdainful look at Secretary Gong at the same time. It was his fault for venting his anger on him. Of course, he immediately ran away after that. He and Gong Pei went to the washroom to wash their hands, leaving Gong Tianying alone in his seat to continue sulking.
By the time Hu Changqing and Gong Pei came out after washing their hands, the dishes had already been laid out, and Secretary Gong was already sitting at the main seat of the dining table, ready to start eating. It was as if nothing had happened just now. The two of them immediately went to the table to avoid being reprimanded again. Usually, Gong Pei and Huang Xiaoling would sit at the side and eat, but today, they specially sat beside Hu Changqing and even ingratiatingly put food into Hu Changqing's bowl, causing Huang Xiaoling to nag a little.
The dishes were indeed what Hu Changqing liked to eat. There were spicy ones and non-spicy ones. Each of them had their own characteristics. Although they couldn't compare to the standards of big hotels, it was rare for home-cooked dishes to be able to achieve such a taste. Moreover, they were all made to cater to his taste, so he ate very happily. Hu Changqing thought to himself that it seemed like he had troubled Aunty Wang. He had to be more filial to her in the future. He heard that Aunty Wang's daughter was about to graduate from university. He wondered if Uncle had any arrangements. He had to ask her later.
The Gong Family had a good upbringing. They didn't talk while eating and didn't talk while sleeping. They ate quietly, except for the sound of chopsticks and bowls colliding and chewing. Hu Changqing and his uncle didn't drink. They had to go to work in the afternoon, so they didn't drink. Gong Tianying strictly enforced this rule and urged Hu Changqing to follow it.
Therefore, they ate the meal slowly. It took about 20 minutes. At the end, only Gong Tianying and Hu Changqing were left at the table. Both of them had big appetites. Huang Xiaoling and Gong Pei went to the sofa to eat some fruits.
Gong Tianying waited for Hu Changqing to finish his last mouthful of rice before throwing the hot towel that Aunty Wang had just handed over to him. He said,"Go to the study after you're done packing." With that, she got up and prepared to go upstairs.
At this moment, Huang Xiaoling turned her head and said," Secretary Gong, you haven't eaten the fruit yet. Don't tell me you're still thinking about that cigarette? Don't tell me you can't even wait for this little bit of time? That cigarette is really that attractive. You're even a determined member of the Party."”It was obvious that Secretary Gong's intention to go upstairs for a smoke was seen through by Senior Colonel Huang.
Seeing Hu Changqing, who was wiping his face, cast a sympathetic look at him from behind the towel, Gong Tianying couldn't help but laugh at his nephew's expression. He walked to the sofa and said to Hu Changqing,"Changqing, come over quickly. Your aunt is right. There's no rush to smoke that cigarette. Eating fruits is better for your health.”It was as if Hu Changqing wanted to smoke.
After Hu Changqing heard this, he was instantly speechless. He handed the towel to Aunty Wang, who was walking over to collect the bowls, causing Aunty Wang to look at him sympathetically.
The fruits were all in the current season. There were imported and domestic ones. His cousin Gong Pei was eating happily. Hu Changqing picked a walnut and had just eaten a few mouthfuls when he heard Gong Tianying's indifferent voice.
"I heard that you parked Wang Qing's car at Nanshan Branch and wanted Zhong Dashan to change the traffic police plate.”Gong Tianying said as he put the banana peel on the table.
Seeing that Hu Changqing didn't make a sound and was eating the fruit unhurriedly, Secretary Gong was a little angry. He couldn't help but raise his voice, causing Huang Xiaoling and Gong Pei to look at him.
"What nonsense. I returned it and asked Zhong Dashan to change it to a blue plate. Hurry up and drive your car away.”
Hu Changqing still unhurriedly replied with an "mm". He was almost done eating his walnuts. However, Huang Xiaoling said as she ate," Changqing, if you want a license plate, look for me. Why are you looking for that blockhead uncle of yours? There aren't many privileged cars on the streets. Aren't they all Mercedes-Benz and BMW? Aunty will give them all military license plates. How about that?"”
When Hu Changqing heard that his aunt could get a military card, he couldn't help but be happy. He originally had the same idea, but considering that although his aunt's family had a military background, their sphere of influence wasn't in Jiangbei Province, so he stopped this idea.
Actually, at their level, it didn't matter what license plate they had. Everyone who knew who the car belonged to would know. However, hanging a military or traffic police plate could stop those who didn't know the situation. He had left the Cayenne in Nanshan Public Security Bureau for a week. Another reason was to tell the Jiangcheng public security system that the Cayenne was already his.
Now that she heard her aunt's words, she couldn't help but feel a little excited. Usually, when she saw Kong Jingwen driving that military-branded Hummer, her arrogant appearance made her want to slap her. Just as she was about to agree, she was mercilessly rejected by Secretary Gong.
"Don't mess around with him. A luxury car worth more than two million yuan with a military license plate swaggering through the city. What kind of words is that? This will affect the image of our army. Who would dare to stop his car in Jiangcheng? That's it."
Gong Tianying was a permanent member of the military, so he had deep feelings for the military. He would never allow his nephew to slander the image of the military. The latter sentence also reflected Secretary Gong's power in Jiang City and how confident he was in the control of Jiang City's public security system.
Gong Tianying had already made the final decision. Huang Xiaoling could only cast a helpless look at Hu Changqing. Then, she changed the topic and said,"By the way, Changqing, how are you getting along with the bank president's daughter? Your mother asked me to help urge her last time. I've only seen that daughter twice. She's pretty, but she's a little cold.”
Gong Tianying couldn't help but look concerned when his wife mentioned this. Hu Changqing's marriage problem was now one of the key problems in this big family. It was related to the continuation of the family line and the next step of his career. After all, a stable marriage relationship was also the main component of the assessment of a cadre. He especially wanted to go to a correct position. Gong Tianying had always been dissatisfied with Hu Changqing's private life, but he seemed to have restrained himself a lot since he got together with this girl.
Hu Changqing couldn't help but smile bitterly." It seems that my mother has mobilized all her power now. My sister was nagging on the phone this morning." We're getting along very well. It's just that I feel that we're still lacking in breath. I feel that there's not enough time. We haven't reached the stage where we need to get married yet. In short, give us more time. It seems that I have to talk to my mother properly so that she won't always worry about this matter. She won't always worry about this and that. She'll make you guys look like a gossipy woman.”
Hearing Hu Changxia mention this in the morning, Huang Xiaoling couldn't help but be surprised. However, she was a little dissatisfied with Hu Changqing's teasing of her for being a gossipy woman. She smiled and said,"Sure, do you think Auntie is long-winded? I'll introduce you to eight or ten girls to choose from another day. Oh right, how's Changxia? He doesn't even come over to visit us. Seriously, you have to say something about him. And Xinxin. Wow, whenever I think of Xinxin, I think of Bei Bei when she was young. She looks exactly the same. She looks so pink, haha.”
Gong Pei also jumped up and shouted,"I want to meet Xin Xin too. I want to hear her call me auntie. Hahaha."”Then, he turned to his mother and said," Mom, when are we going to play with Cousin? The last time we met was a long time ago."”She held Huang Xiaoling's hand and acted coquettishly.
At this moment, Gong Tianying glanced at Hu Changqing and stood up to walk to the second floor. Hu Changqing also stood up. At this moment, his aunt shouted from behind,"Don't smoke too much, Secretary Gong. I'll come over for a check-up later.”
His aunt used to call him Uncle Chief Gong, but now she called him Secretary Gong. There was a story behind this. Once, at a family gathering, his aunt called him " Old Gong." In the end, his mother laughed and said that it was really an advantage to have our family name." Old Gong " and " Hubby " were all the same. Although his aunt called them the same, she found it funny and stopped calling him that.
Hearing his aunt's teasing, Hu Changqing could clearly see that his uncle almost missed his step on the stairs. He couldn't help but feel amused for the couple. He wondered if he and Yushan would be like this in the future.
"Evergreen." Hu Changqing turned around and saw his aunt and cousin lying on the sofa. His aunt smiled and said,"If you and Yushan don't plan to get married, you should break up soon. I was serious just now. There are so many good girls in the military. I'll introduce them to you.”
Hu Changqing almost missed his step. Huang Xiaoling and Gong Pei were laughing on the sofa. Hu Changqing said angrily,"Aunt, when did you become a matchmaker? However, if you have any good girls, introduce them to me first. The more the merrier. I won't reject anyone.”After saying that, he walked into Gong Tianying's study without caring about Huang Xiaoling's scolding behind him.
