Became a powerful person after divorce

Chapter 222 Xu Laogen’s happy life

Xucun, the old residence of the Xu family.

After the original four villages were renovated in a unified way, there is no trace of the original appearance there.

The majestic gatehouse, the blue-grey courtyard walls extending nearly 100 meters to both sides, and the scattered antique buildings outside the courtyard, hidden among precious flowers and trees, look like a wealthy compound in a costume TV series!

There is a parking lot on both sides in front of the door that can accommodate five or sixty cars parked in double rows. Of course, this area is carved out from the original location of the old house and does not occupy the official street.

During that time, many villagers came to visit the newly renovated old house of the Xu family every day. Seeing how lavish and luxurious the old Xu family had built the house, they all expressed envy!

As soon as the sky breaks, the Xu family's old house starts to get busy.

There were a lot of staff there, setting up things inside and outside, and it was a lively scene.

Xu Laogen got up, walked to the cafeteria with his legs on his back, drank a bowl of soy milk leisurely, ate a few steamed buns, including a tea egg, and then walked slowly outside the courtyard.

As early as a week ago, he had already moved in. His eldest nephew Xu Fuhai promised to leave him a room in the newly built courtyard, and he kept his promise and arranged it for him at a location similar to the house where he used to live.

Got a three-room house.

All the furniture inside is new, and the antique style exudes a high-end atmosphere. Compared with the kennel where I used to live, I don’t know how many times it is better!

Xu Laogen never dreamed that he would live in such a house one day!

Not only that, they arranged a special waiter for him to help him make his bed, fold his quilt and wash his clothes. The always slovenly old bachelor Xu Laogen is now dressed neatly every day and looks like one of the retired cadres in the city.

!

And living there, he doesn't even have to move his legs to cook three meals a month! There is a small canteen in the compound, and there are special chefs who prepare delicious dishes every day, so just ask for time to go in and eat.

At first, he was worried about asking for money. It turned out that the manager named Xiao Zhu told him that there was no need to spend money to eat there and it was free. Then he started to eat with confidence!

Not to mention, the food in the canteen was hygienic and delicious. Xu Laogen had never eaten such delicious food in his life!

Take the millet porridge we made earlier, for example. It was yellow and fragrant, with a layer of oily skin floating on the surface. It was really delicious!

The fresh meat dumplings are very delicious. The taste is really amazing! And the meat is very good. Xu Laogen watched with his own eyes that the master chef went to the small market in the village to purchase every day.

The pork belly and tenderloin are the best!

Not to mention lunch, there are more than a dozen hard dishes, chicken, duck, fish, seafood, crab and everything. What satisfies him most is that he is very good at drinking! Although it is not as good as the wine that his eldest nephew gave him, it is still better.

A bottle of good wine costing hundreds of dollars! As someone who likes to drink a few sips, what he looks forward to most every day is the lunch time, where he can drink leisurely for more than an hour every time!

No, those staff members are not allowed to accompany him to drink. He drinks there alone every time. As for the people in the village, are they allowed to come there to eat, even if they spend money? Xu Laogen once asked about that,

Xiao Zhu told him that there were no regulations. The small canteen was open to outsiders, and people living in the compound could eat there.

Hearing that, Xu Laogen suddenly felt very proud! He had eaten and drank enough in those days, and would walk around the door when he had nothing to do. Looking at the villagers who gathered around to ask him about the situation inside the compound, he took the food inside

Once the situation was explained, the villagers were so envious that their eyes nearly popped out!

After Xu Laogen finished his meal, he carried his legs and walked through the clean and tidy courtyard paved with green bricks. He then walked through a moon gate and came to the more grand main courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a man wearing a black suit.

Xiao Zhu, who was there, was directing several staff members to arrange flowers and green plants in the yard.

"Xiao Zhu, what am I going to do? Why are the arrangements so grand tomorrow? What's the big deal?" Xu Laogen asked with a smile, and then he took out a pack of Chinese soft drinks, pulled out one and handed it over.

"Hey, Uncle Xu! You'll get up so early tomorrow!" Xiao Zhu took the cigarette from his leg, took out a lighter and lit it for him quickly, then lit the cigarette for himself, took a puff and asked with a smile

.

"As people get older, they sleep less. Have I eaten?" Xu Laogen asked with a smile.

"No, then we received a notice yesterday. Director Xu and his family are asking to come back. Tomorrow will be a good month for confinement, and then they will move to a new home. There are so many things to do, how can we worry about eating."

Xiao Zhu took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile.

Just as he was talking, he saw several workers carrying a climbing green plant that was as tall as one person, and even directed him: "Be careful, put it over there, that's wrong, or that corner is there!"

"What? His brother and sister-in-law asked to come back? Fuhai also begged to come back? Why didn't I tell him in advance about such a big thing!" After hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Xu Laogen suddenly said anxiously.

"Hey, Uncle Xu, look at what happened. Wasn't he too anxious? He forgot about it for a moment. He couldn't help but make mistakes!" After hearing Xu Laogen's words, Xiao Zhu even went to accompany him with a smile.

said.

Of course the real situation is not like that. Xiao Zhu also knows in his heart that Xu Laogen is a distant relative of Xu Dong. Because he has a good relationship with Xu Dong’s parents and lives close to the original old house, that’s why.

I specifically told him to stay there. The staff there knew about the situation, and he was always polite when making mistakes, but when it came to some matters involving the management, of course they would not discuss it with him!

"It's okay, Xiao Zhu, he's asking, it's such a big thing like moving to a new house, have I bought a gun?" Xu Laogen asked with concern.

"Buy cannons? Uncle Xu, what cannons do you want to buy?" Xiao Zhu asked with some confusion.

"What kind of cannons should I buy? Let's fire off the cannons. Is it okay to move to a new house without setting off cannons?" After hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Xu Laogen said solemnly.

"Oh, you said you should set off firecrackers. I'm really unprepared for that. Lord, please don't allow us to set off firecrackers in Fushi City." Xiao Zhu said.

"Why are they not allowed to be released? No one cares about whether it is in the village! He told me that he had watched that kid Fuhai grow up, and if he didn't do anything else, he would shoot off firecrackers! Every year during the Chinese New Year, he had to buy one

He piled up firecrackers and set them off, and let him go after setting off the ones at home. Even the few firecrackers he bought during the Chinese New Year were set off by that kid!"

Xu Laogen took a sip of Huazi and said proudly, as if he saw the wild boy wandering around and playing in the street every day again.

"Oh, no? In fact, Uncle Xu, you don't know. When he was a child, he used to set off firecrackers very hard. He would buy a lot of them every Chinese New Year and play with them. Didn't Fu City ban firecrackers in the past two years? He

I remember that they were not allowed to be released for several years, and I couldn’t even buy them!” Xiao Zhu said with a smile.

"No, I said that the New Year's Eve people can't make a sound, and they don't even have the flavor of the New Year. It's very interesting! Nowadays, there are only a few people in the village when they are doing weddings. I said where did they come from?

Where did you buy it?" Xu Laogen asked.

"Oh, then he doesn't know. He doesn't know much about that." Xiao Zhu said, showing a bit of impatience. He had a lot of things to do, but Coal Jinfu and

That old man is talking nonsense!

At that moment, Xiao Zhu's demonstration suddenly rang out.

When he took it out and took a look, Xiao Zhu's expression suddenly became formal.

"Hello? Hello, Mr. Xu. Yes, he is making preparations there. Don't worry, he is watching over there in person. There must be no problem. What? Firecrackers? I'm not prepared. There is a ban on firecrackers in Fu City and they don't sell them.

Ah. What? The head of the family told him personally? Okay, he will go and do it right away. Ah? It’s already on the way, Ma Zaiqiu has delivered it? Okay, okay, he’ll pick it up at the door!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhu looked at the old man again, and the impatient expression on his face had completely disappeared.

That old man knows things like a god! Just for setting off firecrackers, the head of the family can actually tell Dong Lai personally. How much does it take to ask for that!

It seems that what the old man said just now, "Looking at Fuhai growing up, he started shooting hard when he was a child" is not true at all!

"Uncle Xu, don't say anything! Just now his boss called in person to tell him that he must set off firecrackers when moving to a new house. A special car was sent to deliver them. What's the matter? Will you go over with him to take a look?" Xiao Zhu said enthusiastically.

.

Hearing what he said, Xu Laogen said with a smile: "Haha, I think he is right. How can we not set off firecrackers? Then moving to a new home is such a festive event, then it must be done!"

As Xu Laogen said this, he followed Xiao Zhu through the Gaotang courtyard and all the way to the door.

As soon as I walked out of the gate, I saw a small truck parked in the parking space next to the gate. Several young men in work clothes were moving boxes of firecrackers eastward. There was already a small pile on the ground!

"So many!" Looking at the pile of firecrackers on the ground, Xu Laogen's eyes widened and he asked in surprise.

At that time, many villagers who were watching the excitement at the door also gathered around, looking at the pile of expensive high-end firecrackers with curiosity.

There were even a few brave kids who were about to stretch their legs to touch them. When Xu Laogen saw them, they were naturally scolded.

"Hello, are you Manager Zhu? Is this Xie Qiulan from Liuyang Fireworks Factory? Entrusted by Director Xu, they made a special trip to transport a batch of fireworks. Do you want to see them handle the handover?"

Xiao Zhu looked at the middle-aged woman who was also wearing a blue overalls with the words Liuyang Fireworks printed on her face, and said with a smile: "No problem, no problem! Wrong, why did we give so much? We can't let it go.

It’s over!”

After hearing what Xiao Zhu said, Xie Qiulan said with a smile: "Manager Zhu, please rest assured that they have already planned according to the fixed combination and have a special discharge plan. All firecrackers and combination fireworks require a total of

It takes 8 minutes and 18 seconds, and there are professional staff responsible for the entire process.”

"So awesome? Is setting off firecrackers so professional now?" Xiao Zhu asked in surprise after hearing her words.

"Of course, they are not professional." After hearing his words, Xie Qiulan said with a confident smile.
