Chapter 155 The Celebration Banquet

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, bogey, market opening, ground breaking, and burial.

Yes, visit relatives and friends.

Today is the time for every family to visit relatives, but this time of the year is the most difficult time for Chen Mo's family.

Seeing the neighbors bring their children back to their mother's house and to their uncle's house, Chen Mo can only secretly envy him from childhood to adulthood.

Chen Jingye wanted to rely on his own strength to make a career for others to see, so in all these years, Chen Jingye hardly ever went back except for calling the Chen family in Nansu.

And Li Sufang's natal family is almost in the same situation, so Chen Mo's family has no relatives to leave for so many years.

In the previous life, when Chen Mo was young, he was very envious of others, and clamored to go to grandma's house and uncle's house. But every time Li Sufang would show a sad look, and secretly hid in the room alone and cried for a long time.

After Chen Mo became sensible, he never mentioned the matter of leaving relatives.

Chen Jingye is self-denying and dedicated to public service. During his tenure, he was upright and honest. To put it bluntly, he was a bit rigid, so he didn't make many friends over the years.

And Li Sufang is focused on developing in Hanyang City, and knows everyone in Fengshan County.

Therefore, no one will come to the Chen family to pay New Year's greetings.

So when it comes to Chinese New Year, the Chen family seems to be isolated by the whole world.

For some reason, this situation spread to Chen Jingye's work unit, and once became the laughing stock of everyone.

Every time the county held a meeting, those who were offended by Chen Jingye used this topic to laugh at Chen Jingye, saying that Chen Jingye was a loner and had no friends. It made Chen Jingye lose face, but he couldn't refute it.

In his previous life, Chen Mo secretly complained about Chen Jingye's cowardice and incompetence, but after he was reborn, he realized how strong Chen Jingye was. His father actually lived a more tiring life than anyone else.

In the morning, Chen Mo's family gathered for dinner. This year, there were three more people, Chen Songzi, Yan Qingcheng and Sangsang. This year was much more lively than previous years.

Chen Jingye and Li Sufang also had more smiles on their faces, and Chen Mo was also happy about it.

Just after dinner, someone called Chen Jingye.

After Chen Jingye answered the phone, his expression was a little strange.

Li Sufang asked: "Who hit it?"

"Meixian County, it is said that a celebration party will be held at the county guest house at 9:30 this morning, and people at the level of deputy head and above in the townships and towns under Fengshan County will go to participate with their families."

Li Sufang was also surprised: "Did your county take the wrong medicine? What kind of celebration party will be held on the second day of the new year?"

"It is said that the banquet was held temporarily to celebrate Jinke Group's entry into Fengshan County." Chen Jingye said helplessly.

"Can't you go?" Li Sufang asked.

Chen Jingye said embarrassingly: "This is not very good, after all, the county government sincerely invites you."

"Well, anyway, we are idle at home, let's go!" Li Sufang said.

"Well, let's pack up and set off right away." After all, it was personally invited by the county magistrate, and Chen Jingye was very solemn.

Chen Jingye changed into a black suit, and Li Sufang wore a red dress, looking noble and generous.

Chen Mo didn't want to change clothes at first, but he was forced by Chen Jingye to change into a suit. This outfit made Wen Qing, Yan Qingcheng and Sangsang's eyes shine.

"Xiao Mo, I didn't expect you to dress up, you're pretty handsome!" Wen Qing laughed.

Chen Mo looked helpless, he never paid attention to his appearance, because once he stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, the immortal cultivator could change his appearance at will, so the immortal cultivator only cared about his strength, not his appearance.

Chen Songzi stayed at home with Wen Qing and the others, and Chen Mo went to the county guest house with his parents.

The county guest house was very dilapidated, and the room could not accommodate so many people, so the celebration banquet was held directly in the yard outside the guest house.

Fortunately, today is a sunny day, and the venue has been set up. Dozens of large round tables covered with red cloth, red cloth carpet, and red lanterns are hung high, making it festive.

Meixian Li is directing several subordinates to take care of some deficiencies in details.

When Chen Jingye's family arrived, there were already more than 20 people present, all of whom were local officials from Fengshan County.

Seeing Meixian Po, Chen Jingye walked over and said hello, "Meixian Po, Happy New Year!"

"Brother Jingye, please take a seat!" Meixian Ping greeted, and continued to direct the work, full of enthusiasm, obviously in a good mood.

Chen Jingye took Li Sufang and Chen Mo and sat down in the corner. The father and son of the Chen family were very similar in this respect. Usually, at gatherings or other occasions, they usually find a place where no one will notice.

As time passed, more and more people arrived. Some acquaintances or those in the same office began to pay New Year's greetings to each other, and the atmosphere on the scene became more and more lively.

At a table not far away, a fair-skinned middle-aged man wearing glasses accidentally saw Chen Jingye in the corner, with a malicious look in his eyes.

"Hey, Jingye, why are you sitting so far away? Come here, Mr. Li Zhen, let's sit together!"

Chen Jingye frowned. This is his colleague Wang Fuzheng, who focuses on culture. Vice President Wang usually likes to tease him, and the relationship between the two is very bad, and Chen Jingye doesn't want to sit there.

Next to him, Li Zhenchang smiled and said, "Jingye, come and sit!"

Chief Li Zhen, his immediate boss, had to give him this face.

Chen Jingye had no choice but to sit with Li Sufang and Chen Mo.

"Mr. Li Zhen, happy new year!" Chen Jingye cupped his hands.

Li Sufang also greeted Chief Li Zhen, but Chen Mo pretended to look away, ignoring this Chief Li Zhen.

Wang Fuzhen's sharp eyes saw Chen Mo's small movements, and said with a sharp smile: "Oh, brother Jingye, this is Mr. Ling, right? What a talent!"

Chen Mo glanced at him indifferently, a little annoyed, this kind of person is everywhere.

Li Sufang nudged Chen Mo lightly with his elbow, but Chen Mo pretended not to feel it, and still ignored Deputy Chief Wang.

Chen Jingye reminded helplessly: "Xiao Mo, your Uncle Wang praised you, why don't you thank you Uncle Wang?"

Chen Mo had seen through Mr. Wang's thoughts long ago, so he didn't bother to answer, and said indifferently, "Thank him? He doesn't deserve it!"

Chen Jingye glared at Chen Mo: "Xiao Mo, why are you talking? Apologize!"

Although Chen Jingye also hated this insidious and cunning Vice President Wang, but he is also an elder, it is really rude for Chen Mo to say such words!

Moreover, Li Zhenchang and other colleagues are watching, and they will definitely say that he is incapable of raising children in the future.

Li Sufang hurriedly smoothed things over for Chen Mo: "Children are ignorant, so they just say what they have to say, making everyone laugh."

What Li Sufang said meant something. In fact, she had already seen that Mr. Wang Fuzhen had bad intentions, but she was embarrassed to say it directly.

Chief Li Zhen and Deputy Chief Qi at the table glanced at Li Sufang and smiled with appreciation in their eyes. This woman, a woman does not give way to a man.

Deputy Chief Wang was not angry, but smiled even brighter: "It's okay, kid, it's understandable to be self-willed, but if he doesn't even look down on our Chief Li Zhen, he will be disrespectful!"

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but there was a flash of disgust in his eyes.

These words seemed to be flattering, but in fact, Deputy Chief Wang was using him as a weapon.

Chen Jingye's and Li Sufang's expressions changed, the words were a little serious.
