Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

The gentleman was supposed to prepare a gift account, but Zhao Qin didn't let Zhao Anguo do it because he didn't plan to accept any gifts.

But now the gifts given by the villagers are all small gadgets, and it would be a bit unkind for him not to accept them, so he had to temporarily arrange for Lao Mao to keep track of them.

After a while, Dayu, Li Gang, and Wu Jindong came together.

"I said, you three are the closest, but you arrived the latest." Zhao Qin walked forward with a smile, shook hands with Old Wu first, and then put his arm around the shoulders with the other two.

"It'll be a while before dinner is served," Dayu said, pulling out a card from his pocket. "The password is Xiao Ping'an's birthday."

"how much is it?"

Before Dayu could answer, Li Gang also took out a bill and said, "Here, the same one, both 50. Don't say no, this is a fund from the two of us uncles to help Ping An pick up girls."

Zhao Qin laughed out loud, "Why didn't I have two such good uncles when I was a child?"

"Come on, if you call out now, I'll give you one too."

"roll."

Old Wu was a little embarrassed. Although his salary at the investment company was not low and he also received option dividends, the current investment company was just starting out and he didn't have much income at all.

"Aqin, this is a pair of silver bracelets prepared by my wife. Our child wears silver bracelets to keep him safe." After saying this, he took out a small box very embarrassedly.

Compared with Dayu and Li Gang, he felt that he was not good enough.

"Old Wu, yours is more practical than theirs. You see, I am a person who is short of money. They gave me all the cards. I don't know what these two guys are thinking. They don't care at all."

"Mr. Zhao, please don't complain..."

Zhao Qin hugged him directly and said, "We are one family, so stop talking nonsense. Can the friendship between us be measured by the value of the gift?"

Then he looked at Dayu and said, "Please do as you please. I won't entertain you."

Old Wu and Li Gang went in to see Li Minghui, but Dayu stayed at the door. "Did the leader say he would come today?"

"Probably not. I didn't notify you. By the way, when are you and Xiao Ran going to get married? A Ke and I are married, and Han Yingsha is pregnant. You are too far behind."

Dayu rolled her eyes and said, "Getting married at the end of the year. Oh, I feel a little uncomfortable when I talk about this."

"Nothing happened, right?"

Dayu shook her head slowly. "After the New Year, I went to Shanghai with my parents to discuss the wedding date. Didn't you see Cheng Xiaoran's mother's attitude? She looked down on us anyway."

Zhao Qin understood that Dayu, the prospective mother-in-law, was very snobbish, and Dayu's parents were simple country people, so it was strange that the other party would be interested in her.

If Dayu continued on his previous trajectory, he and Cheng Xiaoran would probably end up breaking up sooner or later. But now, with a high income and a respectable status, there are fewer problems.

"Look at it more openly. You live with Cheng Xiaoran, not her mother. We have a clear conscience. After marriage, we should treat both sides equally. If you really don't like it, the worst that can happen is that we can visit each other less in the future."

"If Xiao Ran wasn't so good, I would have just blown it off."

"Okay, don't be so tough in front of me. If you have the guts, talk to Cheng Xiaoran about this."

To be honest, I have met Dayu's future mother-in-law Zhao Qin once. She is really not an ordinary character. After marriage, if Dayu lacks courage, she will be controlled by her.

We didn't discuss it in detail. This occasion was not appropriate.

After a while, Qian Kun and Lao Ye's group of three arrived. The gifts from the four of them were still as luxurious and vulgar as before. Each of them had a gold lock weighing about half a pound.

Not to mention Xiao Ping An now, even in a few years, if he wears it for a long time, he will get cervical spondylosis.

Next came the Fisheries Association led by Ye Peiyuan and Lao Jin, who sent a variety of gifts. Zhao Qin was very depressed.

These are all favors I owe. When something happens at someone's home, I have to be there. If I think about the future, I may have to attend banquets for a few days every month, which is really a headache.

The next person who came surprised Zhao Qin. "Brother Wu, you didn't come here early in the morning."

The person who came was Wu Jinxuan, and he was followed by a few people, all of whom were family members of Qi Lu's group who followed Zhao Qin to pan for gold.

"We arrived yesterday afternoon. We knew you were busy these past two days, so we stayed in the city for one night."

"You are too polite." Zhao Qin couldn't help but complain.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wu Jinxuan saw that Lao Mao was remembering the gift, so he led everyone over. After a while, they came to Zhao Qin again, "Ah Qin, we have some intentions. We came all the way here, so you can't refuse the gift."

They were too far away and learned the news late, so they brought red envelopes directly, and Lao Mao was told not to accept cash.

"Angkor, I won't accept any of them. Look..."

"That's what I mean. It's for the child, so we should keep it here. If we don't accept it, it means we don't want to have any contact with each other. You are trying to drive us away."

Well, he’s more eloquent than Zhao Qin. There’s nothing I can do but let Lao Mao accept it.

He personally took Wu Jinxuan and the others to the second floor and said, "Don't leave today, stay at the hotel. I'll have someone take you out for a day or two tomorrow."

As soon as I got downstairs and reached the lobby, I saw Li Gang running out in a hurry, "Why are you running?"

"Aqin, Brother Zhang is here."

Zhao Qin was startled and hurried out to greet them. As expected, he saw Brother Zhang chatting and laughing with Dayu.

"Brother Zhang, how did you know?"

Brother Zhang said in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Ah Qin, you are too rude. You didn't inform me about this. Fortunately, he let it slip when Gangzi and I were on the phone."

"It's too far. It's not worth the trip."

"I have to come to Tianya Haijiao as well." Then he lowered his voice apologetically, "Your brother Luan has to watch over the construction site. We can't go together. He asked me to apologize to you."

"You guys really aren't afraid of trouble." Zhao Qin smiled bitterly and said to Li Gang, "You go up with Brother Zhang."

When it was almost 11 o'clock, Fu Su finally arrived, and with him came Liu Zhonglun and the top leaders of the town. However, Old Sun called yesterday and said that he really couldn't leave today.

"Leader, how did you know that?"

"Mr. Zhao is so happy to have a baby boy that he is giving out red envelopes in the hospital. He is so generous. What else do you think happened? I don't know."

Zhao Qin was speechless, and Fu Su also started to speak in a mean way.

He simply turned around and spoke to Liu Zhonglun, "Brother Liu, today is not the weekend."

"I'm taking a day off. By the way, I ate the killer crab you gave me. It tasted good. Wow, there were crabs that big. Your sister-in-law was shocked when she opened it after receiving it."

"Hehe, I was lucky and caught a few. Don't tell me you want more. I don't know when I'll be able to come across them again."

Liu Zhonglun laughed loudly, and Fu Su on the side couldn't help but smile.

As for the leaders of the two towns, Old Yan was an acquaintance, and he had also managed to give the new mayor some face, but they were still unfamiliar with each other, and now he did not try to win over Old Sun like he did before.

"Go up first, there is a private room."

Fu Su pulled him along and after they entered the private room, Fu Su took out the gift first, "Boss Xu asked me to bring it."

A peanut made of gold and platinum, tied with a red string, "Thank you, leader."
