Chapter 358: Caring for Father and Mother
The decoration of the Gu family is old-school, even a little outdated.
Wear marks can still be seen on the sofa, which is also covered with white diamond-shaped cushions.
"Mom, these two bottles of wine are from Sihai to honor my father. This salted fish is made by Sihai's mother herself."
Mother Gu took it with a smile, opened it in front of Ye Sihai, and said happily:
"This is a good gift, so I accepted it. Sihai, don't tell me. I like to eat this kind of salted fish, but it's a pity that the one I bought doesn't have that taste."
Ye Sihai smiled and said:
"If you like it, I'll let it dry at home more in the summer and send it to you in the fall."
Mother Gu’s eyes suddenly lit up:
"Then it's agreed. You ask your mother to show off more. I'll bring it back to the capital to give you gifts during the Chinese New Year. Why don't you just wait for a while and I'll visit your house and help your mother by the way!"
Ye Sihai was disapproving in his heart, but his face was flattered.
Gu Zhiqiang was having fun on the side. Mother Gu glared at him and took the wine from his hand:
"Don't think that I don't know what your plans are. You drink tea and chat with Sihai, and I'll prepare dinner. Sihai, let's have dinner at home tonight. I'll call your uncle and ask him to get off work early today."
After saying that, he held two bottles of wine and a bag of dried salted fish and left with a smile.
Gu Zhiqiang looked up at his mother's back with a look of reluctance.
"It's over, I can't get another sip of this wine."
Mayor Gu took Ye Sihai to visit his home. Except for his parents' bedroom and his father's study, Ye Sihai took a look at all other aspects.
Ye Sihai was dumbfounded for a moment.
This guy is really defenseless.
The Gu family has a life secretary, and Gu's mother is registered in the Minhai Women's Federation, so she basically doesn't have to work.
Needless to say, Father Gu can't tell you when he leaves home at six in the morning, but he doesn't know what time he gets home in the evening.
The earliest is nine o'clock in the evening, and sometimes I even stay in the office directly.
Fortunately, the provincial compound is not far from the provincial party committee, that is, separated by a wall.
After visiting Gu's house, Ye Sihai and Gu Zhiqiang drank tea and exchanged words.
The time slowly came to seven o'clock in the evening.
Mother Gu entered the living room wearing an apron:
"Zhiqiang, Sihai, come over for dinner. Your uncle is off work and will be home in three to five minutes."
Ye Sihai quickly stood up.
The Gu family's restaurant is not big, just like a big family's.
A square table that can seat eight people. The table is made of solid wood and covered with a tablecloth.
Mother Gu has already placed several steaming dishes on the table.
They are all home-cooked dishes, as well as a plate of steamed salted fish.
Particularly eye-catching are two bottles of Maozi that are completely unavailable on the market.
The packaging is very simple, with only the word "Maozi" written on it, and below are some small words for internal special supply.
"You guys do it first, there are two more fried vegetables, they will be ready soon."
Ye Sihai didn't dare to sit down.
Gu Zhiqiang directly pulled out a chair and sat down on him.
As a result, as soon as my butt landed on the chair, two people walked in from the door of the restaurant.
The one carrying a bag looked like a secretary.
As for the other one...!
He has a Chinese character face, a dignified appearance, a tall stature, and an expression of calmness and self-importance.
Even a smile gives people an indescribable sense of oppression.
Gu Zhiqiang didn't even raise his buttocks:
"Dad, are you back? Go wash your hands and eat."
Ye Sihai stood up directly.
With a trademark silly smile on his face, he bowed slightly and said:
"Uncle Gu, hello, I am Ye Sihai."
He did not address the other person's position.
Father Gu took a deep look at Ye Sihai.
Ye Sihai felt like he was being scanned by X-rays.
But his face remained calm.
Father Gu smiled and stretched out his hand:
"Ye Sihai, you are a great person. I have invited you to be my guest over and over again, but you are still indifferent. What's the matter? Do you think my family is not well-established enough?"
Ye Sihai quickly reached out to hold Gu's father's hand with both hands.
Unexpectedly, I got an empty hand.
Father Gu punched him in the chest:
"Hahaha, you boy, do you know that this time you have shown your face, and there has been a huge quarrel above. Do you understand what I am talking about?"
Ye Sihai smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face showed an expression of complete disaster:
"Uncle, I don't know anything."
Father Gu snorted, turned to his secretary and said:
"Xiao Jiang, go and bring out the jar of old rice wine from my study. I am very happy today and want to drink some good wine."
Secretary Xiao Jiang immediately agreed softly.
He had already marked Ye Sihai with an extremely important label in his mind.
He has been with his boss for three years, and he has never seen anyone who can make his boss so close to him.
This is the first time we have met.
Xiao Jiang is three years older than Gu Zhiqiang. In another year, if he is willing, he can start as a county magistrate.
Of course, it could also be the deputy mayor.
But for the first secretary of the province, the deputy position is not comparable to the first-in-command position.
As a county magistrate, it is easy to achieve results by relying on previous connections.
At that time, it will be a leap to upgrade directly.
Deputy mayor?
Who will be eliminated?
The jar of old rice wine in the boss's study is quite old.
Even when the old man came, the boss was reluctant to drink.
Mother Gu came out with the dishes and while taking off her apron, she scolded her husband angrily:
"You didn't tell me in advance, and I thought I, as an elder, wouldn't know how to entertain guests."
Ye Sihai hurriedly said with a smile:
"Aunt, I'm going to take these two bottles of wine away later."
Gu's mother said with a smile:
"That's great, aunt will bring you two boxes later, you can take all the ones at home, so that your uncle won't drink when he has nothing to do."
Gu's mother laughed:
"Give him a few cigarettes too."
Gu Zhiqiang wailed:
"This meal is impossible to eat, who is your biological son? Dad, I usually steal half a pack of cigarettes from you, and you act like nothing."
Gu's father snorted:
"If you have half of Sihai's ability, I will also supply you. How did you get your achievements? Don't you know?"
Gu Zhiqiang...!
The attitude of his parents...!
It's just that he doesn't have a younger sister.
But he has many cousins.
It's a pity, it's too late.
Secretary Jiang quickly and carefully brought a jar, and Mother Gu stood up and said:
"Let me do it, you don't know how to warm it."
Father Gu pulled Ye Sihai to sit down, and asked directly without beating around the bush:
"How did you predict that Mambo Brothers would go bankrupt?"
Ye Sihai laughed.
He didn't need to hide anything, so he picked out some of what he had said to Old Hansa.
Father Gu sighed for a moment:
"Economic accounts are not so easy to calculate. Many of our comrades still have old ideas. This time, the country has also been affected by this financial crisis. Banks, finance, and real estate have suffered heavy losses."
Ye Sihai couldn't answer this question.
Father Gu actually asked curiously:
"This time, you have gained a lot, right?"
Ye Sihai...!
How should I answer?
