Since there were many people visiting at home, the two of them did not dare to delay. They just had lunch at home, then packed up their things, packed their children in the car, and headed back to the provincial capital.
I'll take them to the provincial capital next year to celebrate the New Year.
It's not that they are cautious, but there are some things that they should be cautious about. Especially the funding for various aspects of agriculture and the news of highway construction. The reason why the two of them never ask about such things is that once such things come out of your mouth
What are the possible side effects?
For example, if you know the news and tell it to someone below, how can you guarantee that this person will not mobilize the three aunts, six aunts, and eight aunts to contract land at the place where the highway passes, build some adobe houses, or even give
You put willow sticks on the trees and say they are just planted trees. Even if they are contracted weeds all over the place, he can put up a few signs and tell you that this is a Chinese herbal medicine plantation.
Once land is expropriated, compensation can be obtained.
Therefore, they never join in. Each has his or her own errands, and they just finish their work and that's it.
There is also the construction of water conservancy, and the superiors will definitely allocate funds according to the situation. But with limited funds, officials from various places are just like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers! This thing is really related to Lin Shuangchao. After seeing this, do you dare to stay at home?
Jin Yin was frightened, "Hurry up, let's go! Let's go now."
Then I stayed at home for one night and half a day, and then rushed to the provincial capital.
Where is the Chinese New Year here? It’s obviously a refugee.
Wu Xiuzhen was happy that they were back, "Hurry, it's still early, take the children to the courtyard to pay New Year's greetings to each family."
It is not easy to visit at other times, but for the New Year celebrations, if there are younger generations, of course you have to ask the children to visit.
Yulian refused to go, "I don't know how to socialize with others. You can go with Sihai. They are also coming to us. Mom is talking to me at home, saying that she brought something and said a few words, why can't she do it. But I see
They just can't speak... You are really helping someone in need. Hurry up, mom has packed everything she needs to bring."
Okay, take the kids with you!
Tongtong called Lei Lei from Yulian's family, who was watching a martial arts video, "Auntie, I'm not going."
Jin Mingming pulled him: "Let's go! Go for a walk."
Lei Tinglai stayed on the sofa on the second floor and said, "I'm just watching...I won't go..."
Jin Kuai coaxed him: "Let's go! Come back and watch together..."
No! Don't disturb me. I'll finish reading it when you come back.
Yu Lian also shouted: "Forget it, if he doesn't like to move, stop barking."
Tongtong simply stopped calling Jin Mingming and Jin Kai, "Let's play at home. It's embarrassing to ask for lucky money when we go to someone else's house."
That’s okay! Then leave the child at home.
Even if you want to go, you have to make a phone call first. If someone is meeting someone important at home, it would be inappropriate to bump into him suddenly.
Yu Lian felt it was very troublesome. When she saw Sihai sitting in the living room on the phone, saying that she wanted to visit, she didn't hear what was said there. She only watched Xiaotong writing on the paper while she was sitting in front of him.
, maybe you heard it! I made a note for this one and left in half an hour. I made a note for that one and left in fifty minutes.
I don’t know how people manage things at this time.
In such a big place in the yard, the visit had to be arranged. Moreover, Xiaotong was still adjusting the gifts, and even told her mother, "When you go to Zhou Shuj's place, don't bring any more cigarettes and alcohol. You have to remember this...
…Go to Xi Sheng’s house and add this souvenir…”
Why?
Tongtong patiently told Yulian, "You didn't read the provincial newspaper. At the meeting last year, Zhou Shuji mentioned the issue of cadre life in his speech..."
oh!
"I was at Uncle Xie's house before, and I heard that Xi Sheng likes to use our province's specialties as gifts..." Oh oh!
After her younger sister and brother-in-law left, Yulian looked at her mother and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to learn this in my lifetime."
Xiaotong didn't learn what he said. Come to think of it, if you just learn, no one will be able to learn it.
In the evening, while Yu Lian was peeling apples for the children, she told Lin Yutong this matter, "Even if you tell me, I may not understand. You have to pay attention to so many details. I really can't pay attention."
This actually doesn't matter, "Just with so many people coming to your home to pay New Year greetings, you will remember everything they bring? Who brought what? Who brought what? No! Most of them won't remember.
So, as long as you don’t make mistakes, people may not necessarily be able to tell that you are careful. But, for this kind of thing...you have to be really careful! It’s not about whether the other person can see that you are careful, it has to be that we know that you are careful
I really put my heart into it.”
Jin Mace silently stuffed a piece of apple into his mouth, and somewhat understood the meaning of this sentence. Just like an aunt peeling an apple, she would peel out the red side of the apple first, and then cut it into large pieces for these children.
Eat. Peel the green side and share it with the adults. In fact, an apple has the same taste. But my aunt still maintains this habit. She didn't notice it at first, but as time went by, she discovered it.
Then I felt that my aunt was so stupid and so heartwarming.
In fact, this is probably what it means.
Yulian spent the second day of the Lunar New Year at home. On this day, Yurong and Gao Cheng also came back and spent the day at home. In the afternoon, Yulian said she wanted to leave.
What are you doing? You don’t feel comfortable staying in such a big home?
"I like to stay alone at other times, but I... don't like it during the Chinese New Year." Yulian waved her hand, "Every day, there are always people at home. Starting from tomorrow, dad has to rest at home. There are more people! I can't...
…I can’t stand this anymore…”
Which one can't stand?
Yulian whispered: "I was there during the Chinese New Year last year. At that time, a leader from the city below was sitting opposite dad. He kept talking, and dad kept a calm face and didn't answer a word until the man said no.
After I got down, I stood up and said goodbye... I felt so embarrassed at that time, and it seemed like it was wrong to take a breath at that time... I went back to have a social gathering with the family members of your brother-in-law's workplace. We made dumplings and cooked together.
I don’t know how lively it is, but I won’t bear this foreign crime!”
Okay! We’re all done. In fact, it’s not bad. We paid a polite visit and received specialties from various cities, delivered in the name of the collective. Lin Shuangchao usually met everyone, and most of them had very good attitudes. But there are always some people.
The kind of people who don't know how to speak, like this person today, how do they speak?
He said: "I heard that your health is very good, comparable to that of a forty-year-old young man! I can't do it..." Blah blah blah.
Lin Yutong: "..." It's so embarrassing! If you know this kind of thing through other channels, you can just say, 'I wish you good health', or compliment, 'You look really good'. If there is no topic,
You can even say: "You must maintain the habit of exercising, you look very good..." But, you have 'heard' it, and you have heard it in detail. That's enough for private discussion.
Put this matter in front of the leader, how do you ask people to answer the question? I meant it as a compliment, but then you said "I can't do it anymore", what do you mean? Move you to the side when arranging work
Move, after all, your body is not good enough!
Lin Yutong quickly pushed the dried fruit forward and said, "Try it." Let's stop the topic here.
After this interruption, they had another topic to talk about, "Writer Lin, I heard that your book has been published again and the copyright has been sold. Then you are a real rich man..."
There's nothing wrong with what you said! But in my family's situation, when you say this, I don't know how to respond.
Then Lin Shuangchao spoke, and he said as soon as he opened his mouth: "The tea is cold, let's change it to hot tea."
Tongtong took the tea down and never left the kitchen again.
In less than five minutes, the man left.
Only then did Tongtong come out and pointed outward: "It's a big departure!"
Lin Shuangchao laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little more mediocre." After saying that, he called the two children over and said to them, "This is the truth of talking too much and making mistakes! If you are too eager to express yourself, you will often make mistakes."
Jin Mace asked, "Grandpa doesn't like him. If he were promoted, would you object?"
Lin Shuangchao shook his head, "I will seriously consider it, but I won't deny him."
Why?
"Work is work, and life is life. You can have bad relations with this person in private, but official matters cannot be tinged with emotions. Even if you have bad relations, it cannot affect the fairness of official affairs. Then, if you just don't like this person, you have to deal with him in public affairs.
Setting up obstacles? This is even more inappropriate. But why should I say that it needs to be seriously considered? Because this visit is not a personal behavior. This is a business visit. He did not highlight the collective or the leadership.
At this moment, his selfishness came to the fore. He was eager to take advantage of his official duties to impress his boss on him personally. It can be seen that he did not fulfill his duties. As a human being, he will always make mistakes. He has no such experience.
It was the first time I met him and he made such a mistake. I reminded him in this way. I hope that when I visit other people again, he will not make such a mistake again. But if he has not been alert, it will be very harmful to him personally.
I am not the only one who has opinions. This also shows that his selfish desires are too strong and it is not unreasonable to stay in his position."
Jin Mace held the milk cup and drank a mouthful of it. His grandfather said that he listened. I don’t know how much he understood, but it didn’t stop him from nodding.
Lin Shuangchao liked how this kid was quiet and quiet, but actually he knew something very well. He picked up the kid and said, "Let's go play chess with grandpa."
Then one old man and one young man went to play chess.
Jin Mingming rushed down from above, "Grandpa, I'll get down too!"
Came, "It's just you two little bastards, grandpa can't accompany you anymore?"
Then the three of them, grandfather and grandson, set up two chessboards. Lin Shuangchao played Go with Jin Mace, and chess with Jin Mingming.
Jin Mace played chess, just like him, quietly. His moves were extremely smooth, but always light and skillful. Even when playing chess, he would sit there with a cup in one hand and a chess piece in the other, sitting as straight as possible.
But Jin was obviously not the one. She sat dishonestly and squatted next to the coffee table. When the chess move was made, the chess fell down and was eaten by you. Then she won and laughed loudly.
Lin Shuangchao had a headache. Let’s put aside the question of his level. As for Jin Mingming’s chess style and his indomitable killing power, I really don’t know who to follow. Sihai is not the same way!
Grandparents and grandchildren couldn't play at home for a few days, so Fourth Master and Tongtong took the children to their aunt's house and aunt's house. After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, it was time for the adults to go to work.
What about the kids? They can pass the time by going out to the mall or something like that.
Xie Rong didn't want his children to be so idle, so he asked Tongtong, "Do you want to find a musical instrument teacher for your children? I asked someone to come and teach at home, but my father refused to agree. What about you? What are you going to do?"
"Isn't there a children's palace?" Lin Yutong said, "Don't worry, when school starts, you can sign up for one on the weekend. It depends on what your child wants to learn!"
How can there be comfort at home? Isn’t it good that children don’t have to waste time on the road?
Jin Mingming didn't want to learn that thing, so she poked her head out from above and said, "The school's music teacher will teach you! There must be half an hour between classes, and the teacher can teach flute, Xiao, accordion, electronic keyboard, and tuba."
The teacher can teach me trumpet."
That's for the show, right?
"No, the school has interest groups, and there are also people who study art and calligraphy..."
Xie Rong waved his hand and told the naughty child to get out of the way, and then said: "Such a specialty is not a specialty. There are too many children who can learn from it... I want to find a piano teacher..."
Lin Yutong: "..." That's not the case! I really want to go, send it to a teacher's house, or go to a children's palace, the teacher will teach me well. But it's not appropriate to bring it to home... First, when practicing, it's too
Noisy; secondly, pianos are not cheap. Although teachers are happy to give them for free, you can't always ask people to do it for free! The income is there. Do you have other sources of income besides salary?
All she could say was, "You have to ask the child what he likes first, and then discuss with the child's father what is appropriate. I haven't asked about this in my family yet."
Xie Rong snorted coldly, "The child was sent to my parents-in-law. I'll be back in the next two days."
This person is really, after talking for a long time, it turns out that the child is not at home!
Xie Rong said as he walked away: "To be honest, I don't want to do that unlucky job anymore. What do you think of me running my own business and setting up a publishing house? Otherwise, the two wages won't even be enough for a meal."
Yes. How about we form a partnership?"
Lin Yutong didn't know whether she was telling the truth or just complaining casually. He smiled and said: "I am a lazy person and don't want to move. Starting a business is very tiring! Why are you looking for trouble!"
He was really a little afraid that if she really started a business, something like this could really drag his father down.
Fortunately, this person really just remembered that it was time to go out. When she said this, she changed her mind when she walked out of the door, "That's right! It's so tiring and uncomfortable at all." She stood still after saying that.
, whispered to Tongtong, "This is the New Year, and there is a queue for people to treat me to dinner... I eat ten meals a day, and I haven't even seen all the important people. They all come to inquire about the highway construction!"
You said those people below have really smart noses. They all heard the sound when they were exposed to the wind. They came to me through connections..." After saying that, he pulled Tongtong and whispered, "You
Why did you come back so early after returning to your hometown? It must have something to do with this. I'm telling you some news, so don't ask. I'm afraid the highway won't pass through your county! That line rubs the junction between you and Pingzhou.
, I have just passed by you."
With that said, he patted Tongtong on the shoulder and left directly.
Lin Yutong: "..." This person is real! She told you directly when others bothered to inquire. What do you do with such a person?
Tongtong didn't know whether this was true or not. She had to wait until Fourth Master came back to ask him.
The fourth master came back late, and he still smelled of alcohol. He must have gone out to socialize. When he came back, he was changing clothes and listened to Tongtong muttering. The fourth master was quite surprised, "It's really not nonsense! This is true.
.”
It really just passed by.
yes!
The fourth master said, "That's what I'm here for tonight. Don't think about the highway now. It's impossible to change other people's plans. Just think of ways to rebuild and pave the national highway!"
Okay! This is an explanation to my parents back home.
They came the next day and called the Fourth Master’s office, saying that they wanted to have a meal as a private person. So you have to do this kind of thing! The Fourth Master called Tongtong and said, “Please clean up.
Come pick me up at six o'clock."
Okay! We can’t have this dinner at home. I’ll change my clothes and go out. I’ll definitely be at the factory gate in time for six o’clock.
Today's road is actually difficult to drive. Don't think that driving is easier because there are fewer cars. It's really not the case. When bicycles became popular, the road was mostly filled with pedestrians and bicycles. Buses, taxis, official vehicles and a few private vehicles
Cars, what proportion do they account for in the city?
Anyway, Tongtong usually drives very slowly in the city, and a bicycle might come out of nowhere. After stopping and going like this, Lin Yutong found a car following behind. In this kind of road condition, everyone has to stop and go.
, and she wasn’t sure if they were following her. She also thought that maybe it was her professional habits that caused her to be too sensitive. In today’s society, who follows us for what?
But what’s the result?
I picked up the Fourth Master at the gate of the factory, and when I turned the corner, the car was still following me.
Fourth Master looked back, "What's wrong?"
Tongtong pointed to the black Crown and said, "Follow me all the way."
The Fourth Master looked at it again and still hadn't seen the license plate. "Don't worry about it, just go."
When they arrived at the place, Tongtong got out of the car first, went over and knocked on the window of the car parked on the roadside.
The car window opened, and inside was a man in his thirties. The man said hurriedly: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I just got into the sea, and I also want to buy a car! I just don't know if you bought it for private use or an official vehicle.
…When I saw an older girl driving the car, I thought about taking a private car. There are very few female drivers in official cars! Girls don’t look like drivers either.”
Lin Yutong glanced at this man's face and thought that what he said was true, "Go to the car dealership on East Street and ask them. They all know how to go through the procedures. But you have to make a reservation in advance! Don't dare to follow me like this in the future.
Otherwise, if I call the police, I will treat you as a car thief, which will not look good."
That is! That is!
As soon as Tongtong entered here, the driver quickly came down and came to the front desk, "Can you borrow the phone... Our leader wants to reserve a private room, and I need to ask about some dishes."
Please feel free to do so.
The driver immediately called: "Mr. Niu, if you want to come, come as soon as possible. Writer Lin drove out from the provincial compound and picked up Director Jin to come to Laixiang Restaurant..."
The other side asked: "Who's treating me?"
The driver asked the front desk: "Did the guest who came in just now book a private room?"
There was no way to speak at the front desk.
The driver handed over ten yuan and the front desk shook his head slightly. The driver quickly said, "No! I'm afraid someone invited Writer Lin and Factory Director Jin."
"You stay there and don't move. There is no need to settle this account. I'll leave immediately and I'll be there in forty minutes at most."
OK, "Would you like to book a private room?"
"Order!" He said, "Pay in cash, no IOU."
The driver hung up the phone and said to the front desk, "Get a private room, pay in cash, no IOUs."
The front desk was very helpful, "The private room opposite the door is empty, please make it available for you."
Get on the road!
Tongtong didn't take the stalking thing too seriously. In this situation, they don't want to do anything for you, they just want to have some kind of relationship with you as soon as possible. Is it because of Lin Shuangchao or because of Fourth Master, someone is running away
I came on my own, so it doesn’t matter. This time I didn’t expect that I asked someone to follow me. Next time I’ll just be more careful and get rid of the person following me.
What Fourth Master is talking about here is mainly about the industry in the county. It is not appropriate for the county to develop a single industry. Each region is different. Take the town where my hometown is located as an example. If the vegetable industry is developed in that place, it should be
Yes. Because the railway is convenient, you can go to the provincial capital via Pingzhou. You can load the vegetables at night and arrive in the city in the early morning to ensure they are fresh. This is an advantage!
The meal was very simple. There were five people eating, and they ordered eight dishes, and the meal lasted for two hours. This kind of interaction makes people feel very comfortable, and there is not much burden. Let alone a private treat, it is a business trip
The expense is not big. I drank the wine, but once I opened a bottle of thick wine and tasted it briefly, it was enough.
Then the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After getting in touch tentatively, I felt that we were both very measured and that we were the kind of people who could be in a relationship for a long time.
But as soon as I left the private room, I ran into an acquaintance who also came out to pay.
Tongtong has never met, but the other party saw the fourth master's special intimacy, a tall and thick man in his forties, "Oh! Brother Jin, you are here too!" Then he stretched out his hand to shake the fourth master's hand, "Look
Look! I didn’t know you were here, so I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
The Fourth Master also laughed and said, "Mr. Niu, I haven't seen you for a while. I was busy in the factory and didn't send you a New Year greeting. I was rude."
Tong Tongxin said that this person who met by chance was really serious. Usually, people like this would not run out to pay the bill at the end. It was just like when I went out with the deputy county secretary in the middle of the meal just now,
No need to ask, you already know that you have to come out and pay.
So, Mr. Niu, are you eating with your family? Do you still have to wait here to pay the bill?
Someone came over to shake hands with Lin Yutong again, "Brothers and sisters, I have always heard that my sisters and brothers are very talented women, but I have never seen them before! It's a pleasure to meet you. It's still early, let's find a place to have a cup of tea. I don't know if my brothers and sisters are willing to show their respect.
.”
There must be something urgent to see the fourth master! Otherwise, he would not have thought of following the fourth master and meeting the fourth master alone.
Lin Yutong nodded, "It's up to you! You have to allow us to see off our distinguished guests."
Of course! Of course!
Fourth Master and Tongtong put the guests into the car and watched the car leave.
When he turned around again, Fourth Master's face changed, "Mr. Niu, your method is a bit excessive."
With a grimace on his face, the other party came over and crowded the fourth master to stand. Lin Yutong could only vaguely hear the other party say, "Director Jin, you are like this... so many people in the factory have lost their jobs, what will we do in the future? We can do this in the future."
Can we discuss it further..."
Got it! Fourth Master took the first step of ‘annexation’…
