Chapter 347
The next day, Meng Haisheng hadn't called Grandpa Shi yet, but he got a call from Meng Guangzhu first.
"Haisheng, have you taken your brother to your Grandpa Shi's house?"
Meng Guangzhu picked up the phone and asked anxiously.
"Not yet, I'll call Grandpa Shi later and see when he's free. I'll go with my brother."
"Alas, the family has been busy in recent days, and your brother was in a hurry when he went to Beijing, and I forgot to tell him about this."
Meng Guangzhu on the other end of the phone was a little annoyed. The spring plowing, the rabbit farm at home, and the alfalfa cutting kept him busy.
It rained in Xiashan Village today, so he had time to rest at home.
Then he remembered that he forgot to tell Meng Hailian about going to Shi's house.
"It's okay, Grandpa Shi won't care about these things, Dad, everything is fine in our family."
"Everything is fine, just busy. I told you that you can't handle cutting alfalfa, but your mom wouldn't listen. She was upset about the wages. She was so tired these days that she couldn't even straighten her back. She lay at home all day yesterday."
"Dad, please persuade my mom. I don't even have that little wages in my hand now."
"How can I persuade her? But after she rests, she will definitely not dare to be stubborn."
Meng Guangzhu on the other end of the phone was angry and amused. Qu Lan would not turn back until she hit the wall. This time she was really exhausted.
Meng Haisheng was also helpless. Qu Lan had lived a hard life for most of her life. How could she bear to ask her to pay for workers to work?
He planted dozens of acres of alfalfa. No matter how busy Qu Lan was, she couldn't handle it.
"Dad, there are so many rabbits at the rabbit farm now. We are too busy with just a few people. You should hire some trustworthy workers."
"I think so too. There are more than 30,000 rabbits. My arms are sore after just feeding one round. I have to clean the rabbit house every day. How can I be so busy?"
Meng Haisheng talked about family matters with Meng Guangzhu for a long time before hanging up the phone.
When he saw that it was getting late, he quickly contacted Grandpa Shi again. Finally, he decided that he and Meng Hailian would go there for a quick meal at noon tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Monday, and the time was chosen at noon. Grandpa Shi was thoughtful. He treated Meng Hailian and Meng Haisheng as his own grandsons, not relatives.
He just wanted to have a quick meal with the two of them alone and talk.
When he went to pick up Meng Hailian in the morning, Meng Haisheng told him about Meng Guangzhu's phone call.
"I said that Dad wanted us to get along with Grandpa Shi. He was too busy to remember, so he didn't tell you."
Meng Hailian scratched his head embarrassedly.
"I thought too much."
"Brother, although our family is not as good as the Shi family, we are also upright and not inferior to them."
"If anyone from the Shi family dares to look down on us in the future, we will just not associate with them. We have a good life and don't need to curry favor with anyone."
"That's right, I think so too. No matter how much money the Shi family has, it is not as comfortable as the money I earn with my own hands."
The two brothers went to Lin's house for lunch on Sunday and went to Shi's house together on Monday.
"Brother, relax. Grandpa Shi is not a tiger. Can he eat us?"
"I'm not nervous."
"Haisheng, do you think I am wearing this Zhongshan suit? Why do we feel a little tight?"
Meng Hailian said that he was not nervous, but he kept fiddling with his clothes, which betrayed him directly.
"I've worn it several times, and you didn't say it was tight. Could it be that you've gained weight in just a few days in Beijing?"
Meng Haisheng laughed while driving, which caused Meng Hailian to roll his eyes.
But Meng Hailian was not so nervous after being interrupted by Meng Haisheng.
"Finally, I've waited for you."
Old Master Shi looked at Meng Haisheng and Meng Hailian entering the house together, with a big smile on his face.
"Grandpa Shi, I don't know what you like to eat. Haisheng said you can't eat too sweet, so I bought some low-sugar snacks."
It was the first time Meng Hailian met Old Master Shi. Although Old Master Shi smiled on the surface, Meng Hailian was a little nervous when he thought of his high position.
"Okay, Hailian, you are thoughtful."
Old Master Shi looked at the strong man in front of him and liked him very much.
If Meng Guangzhu had always been by his side, with Meng Hailian's physical condition, he would definitely let him go to the army to gain experience.
Meng Hailian sat on the sofa a little stiffly, and the old man talked to him about Xiashan Village.
When talking about Xiashan Village, the rabbit farm, and the dozens of acres of alfalfa planted by Meng Hailian, he obviously had more topics to talk about.
"My eldest brother is my most stable rear support. Without my eldest brother to help me take care of the rabbit farm, I can't come to Beijing to go to college with peace of mind."
"Well, Haisheng, I heard that you have opened a Su Ji roasted nuts chain store now."
"Yes, I feel that the buyer who sells melon seedsIt sells very well."
"That's right, young people should be enterprising."
"I'll send you some melon seeds from Su Ji Fried Nuts Shop some other day. I spent a lot of money to buy the secret recipe. You won't get irritated if you eat too much, and there are many flavors."
"Then Grandpa will be waiting for you to send me some melon seeds."
Meng Haisheng and Old Man Shi talked in a relaxed atmosphere, which also infected Meng Hailian, and the tension in his heart gradually decreased a lot.
When they were about to leave after lunch, Meng Hailian had already agreed with Old Man Shi that he would come to see Old Man Shi with Meng Haisheng's family on weekends.
Before they left, Old Man Shi packed a trunk of things for them, including cigarettes, alcohol, snacks, and even a new tape recorder that had not been opened.
"Grandpa Shi, you gave them too many things."
"It's a waste to put them in my warehouse. As an old man, I can only eat and use as much as I can. It's better to give them to you young people, so that you can make use of your residual heat. ”
Meng Haisheng is a thick-skinned man. He took everything that Grandpa Shi gave him.
On the way back, the two brothers talked about Grandpa Shi again.
"Brother, I said that Grandpa Shi is easy to get along with."
"Well, I didn't expect that Grandpa Shi, who is in a high position, is so approachable."
"Let's spend more time with Grandpa Shi in the future."
Meng Haisheng knows best that what Grandpa Shi needs now is family affection. No matter how high his position is or how much money he has, at Grandpa Shi's age, family affection becomes more precious.
The news that Meng Haisheng took Meng Hailian to the Shi family spread among the Shi family within two days.
"I said that the poor people in the Meng family couldn't help it. It's only been a few months, and our dad has another big grandson."
"I heard that when Meng Hailian went to see Dad, he brought two bottles of wine and two boxes of snacks, and when he left, he filled a trunk with things. These poor relatives are really annoying. "
Shi Ronglan and Zou Qiao sang the same tune at home, saying that the Meng brothers were worthless.
"Just wait and see. Bosen has contacted a foreign businessman who supplies industrial sewing machines, and they are now negotiating the price."
"When he is almost done, I will go to Rong Jin. If this is done, the old man will definitely look at our Bosen differently."
"Well, you better let Bosen hurry up. I heard from my sister-in-law that Rong Jin has met the supplier several times."
