Chapter 564 Excited Relatives

At the beginning of July, the Mu House began to move in the furniture.

Mu Yang's parents attach great importance to this house and often go to watch the progress of the villa's renovation.

Before the renovation, the main structure of Mu Mansion shocked them both.

It is built entirely of reinforced concrete, with very few brick walls, and the floors are much thicker than ordinary houses. The concrete columns and steel bars are thicker, stronger than the monarch's fortress; Penetrating missiles.

This is not building a house, this is building a steel tortoise shell!

As for the hundreds of houses, with an indoor area of ​​8,000 to 9,000 square meters, and a villa covering an area of ​​50 mu, the two elders were only a little surprised after seeing the Xinghai Building.

Hearing from his son that the house was built in accordance with the requirements of the thousand-year-old house and the level of the monarch, the two elders paid more attention to it.

They believe that this is the future century-old base of the family, and the housewarming must be held grandly.

However, I still ask my son's opinion, lest he be unhappy.

In the eyes of the two elders, in this era of material pursuits, traditions and relationships with relatives and friends are more precious and rare.

Holding a housewarming banquet is not about vanity, nor is it about showing off one's own mansion to relatives and friends. The son is the richest man in the world, and people all over the world know that there is no need to show off anymore.

The two elders hope that through the emotional bond of housewarming wine, the distance and emotional emptiness between relatives and friends can be relieved, and the connection and communication between them can be strengthened. At the same time, they hope to satisfy the family tradition left by their ancestors as much as possible.

"You can do it if you want, but it shouldn't be too big, just invite some relatives and friends who have a good relationship." Mu Yang said casually.

There are a lot of festivals here, such as Lantern Festival, March 3rd, June 6th, September 9th, Mid-Autumn Festival, July 14th... There is a celebration at home, even every year Invite friends and family over for a get-together.

On March 3rd, my house serves wine, you come to my house to drink;

On June 6th, you will do it at your house, and I will go to your house for a drink... There are frequent exchanges of human relations.

Housewarming, school entrance, child's first birthday, 60th birthday and even buying a new car all have to set up a few tables to celebrate.

Some people drive their new car over a brazier if their new car is too hot. If the car leaks oil or burns the battery, the new car will be a joy.

The cost of running wine at home is very low. What I drink is ordinary rice wine that costs a few dollars. The chickens, ducks and geese may be raised by myself.

The traditions of these hometowns may seem low-grade or flashy to some people, but they deepen the relationship and emotion between relatives and friends.

In Guangdong Province, they also attach great importance to the relationship between clan members within the clan.

Thinking of this, Mu Yang felt that his parents had good ideas and he had to support them.

Since the family's economic conditions have improved, the communication between parents and relatives and friends in the past has become less, and they are also embarrassed to find their parents. Some people even think that Mu Yang's family may look down on them.

Especially in the past two years, there is no contact at all, perhaps because of the great difference in lifestyle and social circle between each other.

In Mu Yang's view, this kind of precious family affection and friendship should be cherished, and should not be bound by money or social status, especially the older you are, the more you value this.

Since parents are willing to share their life and mood with relatives and friends, and to draw closer, let them do so.

As a child, you should understand it.

Ma Lan got his son's consent, and said happily: "Alright then, use your plane to pick them up at that time, otherwise, if there is a plane, people will think we look down on them."

"It's up to you to arrange, as long as people come, don't accept red envelopes and gifts, so that the furniture won't be used when the time comes." Mu Yang emphasized, family and friends like to give furniture and plaques to people with high cultural level. Just send calligraphy and painting.

But these are out of place in the new villa.

"Okay, okay, according to your order, don't let them send furniture, and they can't do it because it's so far away. But they don't give red envelopes, and they don't know what to give. After all, it's a celebration." With the consent of the son The wine is very happy, and the rest can depend on the son.

"Leave the red envelope and return the money, isn't that all right?"

"Well, if someone gives a red envelope, you can do it. Anyway, we don't ask for red envelopes, as long as the person comes."

After chatting with their son, the two elders excitedly called their relatives and friends.

"Hey, sister, my family will have a housewarming party on May 22nd. Next Saturday, the new calendar will be July 15th. You ask me which house it is, this side of City H, near my son's company. I just want to celebrate, as long as people come, you are not allowed to bring anything and red envelopes, and then arrange a car to pick you up at the airport, and take my son’s plane to come.”

"Uncle, the housewarming party is on May 22nd, the company has put it down in advance, and I will give you a list to arrange pick-up and drop-off.

How many tables of wine, I haven't calculated it yet, I guess there are more than a dozen tables here, just some good friends, Ayang doesn't know who he invites. It is definitely impossible to invite all employees of the company, more than 100,000 people, it is too exaggerated, and the banquet will be held in the new home. "

"Old cousin, my house is hosting housewarming wine..."

It took a long time for the two elders to call to inform, and when the time came, I had to ask my uncle in my hometown to help send out an invitation post. Notification alone was not enough, it had to be more formal.

The relatives and friends who were notified were very excited after the phone call ended.

"Honey, my cousin called and told me that there will be a housewarming party on May 22, and invited us to have a drink."

"Which old cousin? I haven't heard of any relative who just built a new house."

"Mu Lin from Du Village, who is there?"

"Muyang's nephew's family, why did you invite us?" The middle-aged woman felt that her family was poor and had nothing to do with them, but her eyes showed surprise, and she couldn't believe it.

"I don't know, my cousin called himself. I guess some relatives have been invited. No matter what, it's rare for my cousin to remember the family relationship between us." The middle-aged man took out a cigarette and lit it, his hands trembling, too excited.

The gap between the two families is too great. It is said that the distance between the gods and the poor is about the same. Therefore, their families are usually too embarrassed to call each other, so they just visit during the Chinese New Year.

"Then you've got the invitation, you must go, or you won't show your old face, and we have benefited a lot over the years."

"Yes, the family funds established by the old cousin have helped us a lot. We have borrowed money to start a business, bought a new car, and the child was greatly rewarded for being admitted to the University of Guizhou Province. Our life has improved a lot in the past few years. It was unthinkable before.”

The Mu Lin family established a family foundation, which currently has tens of millions of yuan in funds. At the beginning, it only popularized relatives who are close to each other. Now, anyone who has a little relationship with the Mu Lin family can get favors.

At present, the family foundation is hosted by Mu Yang's parents, and Mu Yang's uncle and aunt form the core.

If relatives want to do business or learn skills, they will be trained by experts. If they really don’t know how to do business, they can also go to a subsidiary of Xinghai Group or a cultural tourism company to work honestly. up.

After the couple finished chatting, they called their son. His son is still in school and should be on vacation soon. He is in his third year of junior high school and he heard that he will be doing an internship.

"Hey, son, let me tell you, I'm going to drink housewarming wine at your cousin's house on May 22."

"What's the new calendar date on May 22, which cousin?" Huang Xuan was in the classroom, just after class, when he suddenly heard his father's call, he was a little curious.

"July 15th, your cousin Muyang, when he got married and served wine in his hometown, my mother and I went there, but you were in school and couldn't go."

When he heard his father say that he was Cousin Muyang, Huang Xuan couldn't believe it, and his voice raised a bit: "Really, Cousin Muyang has so many houses, I heard that the top few floors of Guangxinghai Building are all It’s for living, is it necessary for housewarming?”

"How can this be false? Your cousin called me personally and invited our family. He said that a new house was built near the company and he planned to move there. As for what they want to do and how the new house is, I don't know. It's time to fly with your cousin together, okay, for now, don't lose the chain when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone, Huang Xuan was still surprised.

It is true that Mu Yang is his cousin. His grandma is the sister of Mu Yang's grandma, so the relationship is a bit far away.

He had never seen Mu Yang with his own eyes, and the two of them rarely moved around, only during the New Year holidays, his father had some contact with Mu Yang's father.

When the local students around heard Huang Xuan calling, they were also surprised by the conversation on the phone.

"Wow, Huang Xuan, are you related to Mu Yang's family? Did I hear correctly?"

"Yes, it's just a general relationship. The initial funds for my family's store opening, as well as my tuition and fees for college, are all supported by my cousin's foundation.

However, Mu Yang and I don't know each other, so don't get me wrong. "Huang Xuan forced a smile and didn't dare to brag, but he was also proud to see his classmates' expressions.

Yes, who wouldn't want to have some kinship with Mu Yang's family.

The money for his family’s business is borrowed and there is no interest. If you lose money, you don’t have to pay it back. If you earn it, you have to pay it back. The maximum support fund is 500,000 yuan within ten years. Within ten years after losing money, there will be no more opportunities. If the relatives are closer , more support funds, but fortunately his family is lucky.

In fact, his parents' business level is also very average, and the application for funds is not free. If you want to start a business, you must participate in the training of foundation experts, and finally submit a business plan and get approval. Otherwise, the probability of being in vain is high.

It is under such conditions that many relatives of Mu Yang's family have started businesses and have achieved a lot of success.

He was admitted to Guizhou University, and the foundation rewarded him 200,000 yuan at one time. The better the school, the higher the reward. If he continues to study, he will continue to support him.

Therefore, he is very grateful to Muyang's family. Without Muyang, his family would still be relatively poor.

It's just that the gap between the two is too big, and it's not easy to build a relationship, for fear of affecting others.

"As a relative with Mu Yang, it's hard not to get rich. Huang Xuan, remember to support your old classmates when you get rich."

"That's right, Lao Huang, and me, my brother usually treats you well."

Seeing the enthusiasm of his classmates, Huang Xuan couldn't laugh or cry: "My cousin doesn't recognize me, I've never met him, but our family has improved a lot over the years, and it's also because of the help of my cousin's family foundation."

"That's all right, it means that Mushen still takes care of your relatives, but he is a big man and busy, so he probably doesn't care about the trivial matters of relatives. If your cousin remembers you, he just needs to help you a little bit, sow You can fly, unless you don't want to fly yourself."

"According to the phone call just now, are you going to drink at your cousin's house?"

"Not sure." Huang Xuan thought for a while, but still kept silent on the details. He heard from his parents that he should try to talk as little as possible about his cousin's personal affairs in front of outsiders, so as not to cause trouble for them. Other than that, chatting doesn't matter.

"No, I heard it clearly. It is said that they are drinking housewarming wine. Mu Yang is moving to a new house?"

"I really don't know about this. I hope everyone will not spread the word about this kind of thing. After all, I heard it from me. Otherwise, don't blame me for not agreeing with Xueyou." Huang Xuan still reminded the surrounding students.

"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, remember to take a photo with Mr. Mu Yang." The students around patted their chests to promise that they would not mention this matter at all, lest people get upset and talk about other things.

"Huang Xuan, didn't you just join Xinghai Group if you wanted to after graduation?"

"You think too much. The Xinghai Group is not my family. It is said that positions are arranged according to ability. It is easier to enter, but after entering, everything depends on yourself, not as good as you think." Huang Xuan said, "If the ability is insufficient, it will only harm others, right?"

"That's amazing. I don't know how many people want to join Xinghai Group. I want to join after I graduate."

"Yeah, it's too difficult to get into the Xinghai Group now. The headquarters of the Xinghai Group doesn't even come to our school to recruit people. Anyway, our school is also a 211 University."

"985 can't find enough recruits. How can we go to 211 to recruit people? Besides, our school is not bad except for civil engineering, and there are no outstanding majors. Besides, Xinghai Group doesn't engage in civil engineering, so it's normal if you don't come."

They are about to graduate and want to work in Xinghai Group.

Guizhou University is also a 211 university. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for graduates to work in the headquarters of Xinghai Group, but there is still a chance to go to Greentown Company of Xinghai Group. The local colleges and universities are especially taken care of.

There is a gap between the treatment of Greentown Company and the headquarters, but the gap is not big, and it is still a very popular company for graduates.

However, Greentown Company is located in the Lujing Town Industrial Zone, which is far away from the urban area. In the long run, some people from other provinces are not willing to do so. After all, it is far worse than the headquarters base in H City.

Of course, in order to solve the problem of schooling and housing for employees' children, Lujing Industrial Zone has also built employee residences and primary and secondary schools. The employee residences are very cheap, only two to three thousand yuan per square meter, and the area is also very large.

In addition, the Lujing Industrial Park is developing very well now, intercity trains are being built, there is a gourmet city, young reservoirs, and the local consumption level is low, which is not available in the headquarters base.

Therefore, some employees prefer to stay in Greentown Company and plan to settle down in Lujing Town. If they work in the headquarters base, they will be surrounded by graduates from prestigious schools, and the pressure will definitely be even greater.

half an hour later,

The whole class knew that Huang Xuan and Mu Yang were relatives, and many students turned down their ties with him, and Huang Xuan immediately became the favorite of the whole class.

Huang Xuan smiled lightly, knowing in his heart that these people only valued the relationship between his family and Mu Yang's family, not him.

Regarding the relationship between relatives, he has also seen it clearly in the past two years, and it should not be used as a tool for comparison and promotion.

Some people use relatives to gain help and opportunities in order to increase their status and relationships, which is hypocritical and selfish in nature.

In his view, relatives should treat each other sincerely, respect and support each other, rather than using their relationship for personal gain.

He decided to talk less about his relationship with Mu Yang in the future, so as not to cause trouble for his cousin's family.

A few days later, after their exams were over, Huang Xuan went home.

After staying at home for a few days, I packed up my things and prepared to leave tomorrow.

The next morning, Huang Xuan, his grandparents, and his parents drove to Lujing Town Food City, and took a bus with other relatives of Muyang's family to Greentown Airport for the plane. There were two planes available.

Huang Xuan and his parents took the Xinghai Group's business jet, which can seat nearly a hundred people. There is also a private jet of Muyang, but there are only about 30 seats, which are specially for older elders, pregnant women or Those who are not in good health can ride.

It was the first time for Huang Xuan and his parents to take an airplane, and they felt that the Xinghai Group's business jet was not ordinary.

In the plane, everyone was very excited, chatting about Mu Yang's family.

At this time, Huang Xuan knew the general situation. He heard that his cousin's house was very, very big, but he didn't say how big it was.

He also heard that the place where the banquet will be held is in the new home. The question is, with so many people, how big is the place.

He was looking forward to it and wanted to see what his cousin's house was like.

On the plane, the flight attendants were very polite to them and gave them a lot of food and drinks.

Two hours later, the plane landed at H City Airport.

They took the shuttle bus of Xinghai Group again, and heard that it was far away from their new home.

"Wow, this city H is pretty good, but the greening is better in our green city."

"City H must be much more developed than Greentown. Its GDP is among the best in the country."

"The old watch family contributed half of it. Otherwise, how could City H rank so high."

Along the way, the old cousins ​​discussed Xinghai Group and City H with great interest, and many of them had never been to City H.

They came to the banquet this time to participate in lunch and dinner, but they can stay in City H, and they will have no problem staying for a week. They will arrange accommodation. It is said that they are in the hospitality hotel of Xinghai Group.

This time to participate in housewarming, the first day is to arrange a banquet in the new home, and on the second and third day, we organize everyone to go to the West Lake of H City, the sightseeing floor of Xinghai Building and other scenic spots in H City.

What Huang Xuan most wanted to go was the sightseeing floor of the Xinghai Building. This was a rare opportunity. Except for the employees of the Xinghai Group, no one else could go up there. After all, it was not open to the public.

"Is the new home near the company?"

"I heard it's in the company's community. I'm not sure. No one has been here before."

Another half an hour later, although everyone was a little tired, they were very excited. Huang Xuan couldn't sleep either, and kept looking at the scenery outside the window.

Suddenly, an old cousin in the bus exclaimed: "Look, Xinghai Building, wow, it's so tall!"

"It looks like it's almost here!"

"You can see it from such a distance. If you are on the Xinghai Building, you can probably see the whole city clearly."

"Haha, we are all country folks who have never seen the big world. When we arrive at the old cousin's house in a while, we just don't make jokes."

"Yes, yes, everyone must pay attention to your quality. My cousin probably invited a lot of friends, all of whom are important people. At that time, we should stop making fools of ourselves and embarrass others."

"Try to speak as little Mandarin as possible. Our Mandarin is not accurate when you speak it, which makes people laugh." A cousin tried to speak Mandarin, which made everyone laugh.

"I think it's pretty accurate, haha."

"Anyway, I don't understand the Mandarin you speak."

When Huang Xuan heard the substandard mandarin in the car, young people were better, but some older people, such as his parents, sounded like a headache.

Hey, it can't be helped. The accent of the people in my hometown is relatively strong, and it is difficult to correct it. Even if it is him, it is a little bit, and his classmates from other provinces can hear it differently.
