Chapter 21 The Centennial Tea Tree(1/2)
Lei Xiang squeezed in.
"Where did you go to hear the news?"
Everyone looked at the thunder in surprise.
Lei Deyong asked tremblingly: "Thunder, what's going on?"
"Dad, it's okay, don't worry!"
The village party secretary Chen Daniu watched the thunder.
"Thunder, is it true that the county came down to investigate?"
Lei Xiang asked back: "Do you know the results of the investigation?"
Lei Deyong grabbed Lei Xiang.
"Son, are you really under investigation?"
Chen Daniu snorted coldly.
"Old Lei, do you still need to ask? Go back and educate your son properly."
A young man in his twenties squeezed into the crowd and shouted loudly to the thunder.
"Director Lei, you are back!
I just arrived at the entrance of the village and came over when I heard your voice."
Everyone was startled and turned to look at Lei Xiang.
Chen Daniu frowned: "What did you call him?"
The young man chuckled.
"Don't you know? Lei Xiang has been promoted to the deputy director of Songling Sugar Factory.
I saw the appointment documents two days ago!"
The young man is an employee of a sugar factory in another township, and the sugar factory where he works is also a subsidiary of Guoning Sugar Company.
Lei Deyong hurriedly turned to Lei Xiang
"Son, is it true?"
Lei Xiang smiled and nodded.
"Dad, it's true!
Someone reported and framed me before, and that person is now in detention."
Chen Daniu was a little embarrassed.
"Director Lei, I knew you were reported, but I didn't know you were promoted."
Lei Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Daniu, turned around and said a few words to the young man, then pulled his father towards the car.
Everyone booed Chen Daniu.
…
Lei Deyong smiled from ear to ear.
"My son is now the director of the factory! He is proud of his ancestors!"
Lei Xiang helped his father get into the car.
…
After a while, the car arrived at the door of the house.
Lei Deyong got out of the car and rushed home.
"Yuqing, hurry up, our son is back!"
Lei Xiang's mother Wen Yuqing came out of the kitchen.
"It's not the first time that your son has come home, why are you so happy?"
Lei Deyong's voice was a little shaky.
"My son is now the factory director!"
Wen Yuqing's mouth was half open.
"Director?"
Lei Xiang walked into the yard carrying his things.
"Mom, she's the deputy director!"
Wen Yuqing rushed towards Lei Xiang excitedly.
"Son, are you really an official?
Our family burns high incense, and someone is an official!"
Lei Deyong was dancing for joy.
“Our family has been farmers for generations, and finally we have an official!
I have to kill a chicken to celebrate, I’ll catch the chicken!”
Lei Deyong happily went to the backyard.
Wen Yuqing looked Lei Xiang up and down.
"Let me tell you, the son I raised is different from others!
If I marry your father well, the sons he will give birth to will be even better!"
As the saying goes, a son is one's own good thing, while a husband is someone else's good thing.
In Wen Yuqing's eyes, her husband and son are all her own!
Lei Xiang chuckled and said, "My mother gave me a good education. Without my mother, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
When Lei Deyong, who had already gone to the backyard, heard this, he turned back and snorted several times.
Lei Xiang said quickly:
“My parents not only taught me to be a good person and do good deeds since I was young, but they also taught me by words and deeds!
The children raised by my parents are promising!"
A smile appeared on Lei Deyong's face, and he turned around and headed back to the backyard.
Lei Xiang shouted loudly toward the backyard:
"Dad, there's no need to kill the chicken, I bought beef and ribs."
Lei Deyong replied loudly:
"How can such a big happy event be done without killing the chicken?"
Wen Yuqing smiled happily.
"Let your dad do the hard work. Let's celebrate as a family today!"
Lei Xiang no longer stopped him and followed his mother to cook.
Wen Yuqing, however, let Lei Xiang rest and could not help in the kitchen.
Lei Xiang had no choice but to exit the kitchen and wandered to the golden tea tree behind the house.
This small-leaf golden camellia tree is much taller than the ordinary golden camellia tree.
About five meters, 23.4 centimeters in diameter.
The tree has a graceful shape and strong branches.
There are scattered small yellow flowers and some buds hanging on the branches and leaves.
Lei Xiang was very surprised.
Two months ago, after the golden camellia bloomed for the first time, the flowers completely stopped and there were no buds at all!
Normal golden camellia flowers appear in yellow flower buds from July to August every year.
Golden Camellia will not fully bloom until November, and will bloom until March of the next year. The peak flowering period lasts for 1 to 2 months.
But this century-old tea tree has a strange phenomenon.
That is, the flowering period lasts for one month every three years, which means that only one flower blooms.
This year is the year when the flowers bloom for a month. After the flowers bloom in November,
There will be no more buds, no more flowers will bloom.
But now, not only are the trees in full bloom, but there are also clusters of yellow buds!
Lei Xiang was surprised and ran back to the yard, where Lei Deyong was killing the chicken.
Lei Xiang went over to help.
"Dad, the Golden Flower Tea is still blooming and has many yellow buds. What's going on?
It’s very abnormal. Did you put chemical fertilizers in?”
