Noon.
It's lunchtime in the courtyard.
The dishes were cooked by Dong Xuebing. In the end, Fang Shuiling took the initiative to cook the remaining dishes.
"Let's eat!" Dong Xuebing walked out of the kitchen.
Xie Hao laughed. "I can smell the food from afar."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Then hurry up and help Xiao Ling carry the dishes!"
Xie Hao is a lazy person and slumped on the stone table. "I am tired. My legs are aching."
Xie Ran felt bad for his girlfriend and punched Xie Hao on the head before going to the kitchen to help. "I will go."
Dong Xuebing ignored Xie Hao and gave him a kick. "Go into the house and bring a chair and a few cups! I can't order you around anymore!"
Xie Hao grumbled to himself and left.
Xie Jing's temper had subsided and smiled. "I will go and get the rice, Brother-in-law."
"Ok. Don't forget the chopsticks." Dong Xuebing sat on a chair and lit a cigarette. After a while, Xie Jing and Fang Shuiling returned, and he extinguished his cigarette. When Dong Xuebing was arguing with Xie Jing about foreigners, he could not hold back and cursed. He felt his image in front of Fang Shuiling will be tarnished. That's why he pays more attention to his image and stops smoking in front of her.
The dishes are ready.
Everyone sat down and started eating.
Dong Xuebing said. "Come, try my cooking!"
Fang Shuiling picked up a piece of food and chewed. "Hmmm … it's delicious."
Dong Xuebing replied proudly. "It's not bad. Don't stand on ceremony. "Dong Xuebing pointed to the two dishes and said to Xie Hao." These two dishes are cooked by Xiao Ling. Try it. "After that, he took a bite and said." Delicious. "
Xie Jing tasted the food and looked at Fang Shuiling in a different light.
Fang Shuiling replied humbly. "It's nothing. My cooking is nothing compared to you."
"Haha … I like what you said." Dong Xuebing does not know how to be humble.
Xie Ran also tasted the dishes and said objectively, "Brother-in-law's culinary skills are indeed better. Since the middle of the year, Brother-in-law's cooking has been superb."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "That's because I had cooked a lot and had good control of the heat." Seeing Xie Hao picking the meat, Dong Xuebing added a few more vegetables for him.
Xie Hao grumbled. "I don't eat vegetables."
Dong Xuebing shouted. "Don't be picky. Let me eat it now!"
Xie Hao mumbled to himself and put the food into his mouth. He doesn't even dare to chew and swallowed the food as if it was medicine.
Everyone was amused.
Dong Xuebing's authority in his family had increased. As the Eldest Brother-in-law, Dong Xuebing also has the responsibility and responsibility to manage the younger generation. That's why he is the one managing the younger generation. Especially Xiao Hao, Dong Xuebing will stare at him and kick him whenever he wants. Xie Huilan had gone to the south, and their Eldest Sister is not around. That's why Dong Xuebing had to take on this responsibility.
After a few mouthfuls, Dong Xuebing got a craving for alcohol and poured himself a glass. "You all have tea and drinks. I will drink some alone."
Xie Hao shouted. "Me too! I want to drink too!"
"You are everywhere." Xie Jing rolled her eyes at her younger brother.
Fang Shuiling stood up and raised her glass at Dong Xuebing. "Brother Dong, let me give you a toast. Thank you for your hospitality, and … I also want to give you a gift. Actually, you don't need to give me too much."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Just spend whatever you want. Buy some clothes or something."
"But I don't need so much." That's 1 million, and Fang Shuiling doesn't dare to accept it. But Brother Ran had given her the gift, and Fang Shuiling had asked her to accept it. She really … does not know what to do with Xie Ran's generosity. She had never received such an expensive gift before. How much is 1 million? Her family was considered very wealthy, but her pocket money from childhood to adulthood didn't even add up to a million.
Dong Xuebing toasted with Xie Huilan and said. "Take it. If you don't want it, I can only give you a watch. But it's a man's watch." He touched his wrist.
"No … no …" Fang Shuiling can tell it's a Patek Philippe watch. It's the world's number one watch, and it's more expensive than a bank card.
Xie Hao's eyes brighten up. "Brother-in-law! No one wants it, but I want it! I want it! "
Dong Xuebing does not know what to do with Xie Hao. "Just eat your food. You are still in high school, and you don't need to wear a watch." Dong Xuebing added some vegetables and carrots to Xie Hao's plate.
Xie Hao started to act like a hoodlum and refused to eat.
This kid was the most mischievous in the family. With him around, there would always be laughter at the table. As everyone ate, the atmosphere was good. Even Xie Jing, who wasn't very friendly with Fang Shuiling, started to chat with him.
Half way through lunch.
Dong Xuebing looks at Xie Ran. "Are you on holiday these few days?"
Xie Ran nodded. "Including the weekends, I will be off for three days. I will be going back on Monday."
"How is your job at the grassroots level?" Dong Xuebing asked. "Are you used to it?"
Xie Ran sighed. "It's a little tiring. There are many things to do in the County, and most of them are not important. Sometimes, I have to work for a few weeks to settle a small matter."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You will get used to it. You are from the higher-ups, and you had never left Beijing for work in the past. You should have a broader outlook, but I don't think you should let your job get used to you. You should get used to the working environment at the grassroots level."
Xie Ran nodded. "I understand."
Although Dong Xuebing is younger than Xie Ran by a few years, and it is not appropriate to educate him like this, Xie Ran's status and rank are lower than Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing's rank is higher than him, and he had been working at the grassroots level. He had even been to a poverty-stricken County. That's why he has more experience than Xie Ran, and Xie Ran will listen to him. Of course, Dong Xuebing only has a few serious words in his mind, and he had learned them from Xie Huilan. If not, he will not be able to say anything serious. Also, this is not how he works at the grassroots level. He will only do what he does not want to do to others.
Adapt to work?
Adapt to others?
Do I have nothing better to do? Why?
If someone told Dong Xuebing this, he will surely think this way.
But even if he cannot do it, it doesn't mean he wants others to be like him. The Xie Family has high hopes for Xie Ran, and Dong Xuebing also has high hopes for him.
Fang Shuiling said. "Brother Ran, I need to learn from you."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Don't. Don't learn from me."
Xie Ran laughed. "Brother-in-law, I can't learn from you even if I want to."
Xie Hao laughed. "That's right. My Brother's physique is too weak, and he can't learn from you."
"Huh? Why? What physique? " Fang Shuiling does not know about Dong Xuebing's situation. She thought Dong Xuebing had worked at the grassroots level for a long time and was promoted to a higher position than Xie Ran at such a young age. What's wrong with Xie Ran learning from him? Why is it related to physique? Do officials need to be muscular to be a government official? Fang Shuiling had not heard of this before. Fang Shuiling had said this to praise Dong Xuebing. After all, this is her first time visiting Dong Xuebing's home, and Dong Xuebing is her boyfriend's brother-in-law. This is the best way to communicate. Everyone likes to hear compliments, but why is everyone reacting like this?
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "Let's eat."
Xie Ran poked his girlfriend and whispered. "Stop asking. I will tell you in the future."
Fang Shuiling looked at Dong Xuebing and nodded. She still doesn't understand why Dong Xuebing cannot tell her.
Of course, Dong Xuebing cannot tell Fang Shuiling. This is the first time he met Fang Shuiling, and he can't say anything about it. Can he say his working style is "kick whoever he likes?" Can he say he will kick whoever offends him? Can he say he had hit a colleague? Hit a leader? Hit a commoner? He even scolded a City Leader? What will Fang Shuiling think of him? Can he still maintain his image as her brother-in-law? Dong Xuebing does not think there is anything wrong with his working style. What's wrong with hitting someone? What's done is done. This bro has his reasons for beating people up! " But this does not mean Dong Xuebing likes this way of working. It's fine if it's someone close to him or someone who knows him well. But it's not appropriate to mention this in front of strangers, as it's not something to show off.
Dong Xuebing quickly changed the topic.
"Xiao Hao, is it time for the mid-term exams?"
"They're all done."
"What results did you get?"
"Not bad. I'm very smart."
"Stop bragging. I will not believe you."
Dong Xuebing asked about Xie Jing's work and Xie Hao's studies. He heard that Xie Jing had some conflicts with one of the higher-ups, and Dong Xuebing gave her some advice. "Xiao Jing, you cannot be like this. You must maintain a good relationship with the higher-ups. If not, there will be more troubles in the future." But Fang Shuiling is around, and Dong Xuebing had to pretend to be serious.
Xie Jing: "… …"
Xie Hao almost spat out the rice in his mouth!
Fang Shuiling might not know Dong Xuebing, but Xie Jing and the rest know who their brother-in-law is.
That's why Xie Jing did not take Dong Xuebing's criticism to heart. She only snorted a few times and did not retort to give Dong Xuebing some face. But in her heart, she was thinking to herself. Build a good relationship with the leaders? Xie Jing felt that it was reasonable for anyone to say this because it was a serious thing to say. However, it came from her brother-in-law, who had beaten, scolded, and talked back to his leaders more than once. Xie Jing could only feel a deep sense of helplessness and speechlessness.
Two days ago.
Who beat someone up in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection?
Han Jing had told them about this incident before they came!
Xie Jing knew her brother-in-law is thick-skinned, but she did not expect him to be so thick-skinned. He did not even blush after saying this!
