But the three of them, Xue Xiang, were chatting lively. After a while, Song Yuntong and Mao Youcai also arrived. Xue Xiang looked at the time and thought about many things to explain, so he simply called Chu Zhaohui to the canteen to order the meal preparation, and then went to ask the Minister of Health. , Wang Kanshu Ji, Director Tian, he wants to treat him to a guest tonight. As for the reason for the treat, it is naturally that Secretary Xue is giving him a farewell!
………………
Xue Xiang arrived in the capital on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, just in time to celebrate the New Year. When he arrived home, the three children were not at home, and only a few guards were left. After asking around, he found out that they had all gone to Xu Ziqian's house.
Xue Xiang then remembered that the eldest sister had given birth to a baby, and the little one had only arrived in the capital a few days ago. With her temperament, she couldn't stick to the baby every day.
Sure enough, when Xue Xiang rushed to Xu Ziqian's house, the little one was lying next to the crib with her eyes wide open. Xue Xiang called her a few times, and the little one came back to her senses. It was rare that she didn't rush forward. Come, instead, he put his little hand to his mouth and made a silent sound. This cute look is so cute.
Xue Xiang stepped forward with a smile, rubbed her little head, asked her about her grades, looked closer at the baby, and then returned to the living room.
At this moment, Xu Cuihuang and his wife, Xiaowan, Xiaoyi, Xu's mother and the helper were out to buy groceries in the living room, because today is not only the New Year's Eve, but also the day when Xu Ziqian returns to Beijing.
But there were a lot of people in the room, but there were very few topics to talk about. Xue Xiang, the brother-in-law, was shy and a teacher. He and Xue Xiang could not urinate in the same pot. The eldest sister, Xue Lin, was lively and could talk and laugh, but Xue Xiang really didn't dare to talk to this eldest sister.
No, just after entering the door for a while, she was asked for a long time about the situation in Xiaoshan County, and the wonderful family reunion was turned into a trial meeting; as for Xiaowan, Xiaoyi, most people were quiet, Only when I'm at home can I chat with him, my elder brother.
After sitting for a while, Xue Xiang really couldn't stand the eldest sister's questioning, so he came up with a way to divert attention and kill time - he proposed to play poker. As soon as this suggestion was made, the whole room responded, and even people in the room watched The little baby also shook his fleshy little body, ran forward and squeezed into Xue Xiang's arms.
There were so many people that the game couldn't be "upgraded", so we switched to the "turtle drawing" that we used to play in Paoshan Village. As soon as the card game started, the atmosphere became really lively. There were no relatives in the card game, and everyone was scheming and plotting. As we played and played, the laughter could never stop. Those who smoked pairs laughed heartily. Those who smoked kings and eights inevitably touched their foreheads and sighed. For a while, the living room was full of people shouting and drinking.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Xu's dissipation went too far, which alarmed the little ancestor in the room. The sound of the trumpet of the little ancestor put an end to the game. At this time, Xu's mother came back from shopping for groceries.
Xue Xiang quickly dropped the poker and stepped forward to help carry the things. Xu's mother didn't pay attention for a moment and thought it was Xu Cuihuang. When Xue Xiang called "Auntie", Mrs. Xu calmed down and took a closer look. "Oh, it's Xue Xiang. We are rare visitors, but you are a rare visitor. I heard that you are already the county party committee secretary. How old are you? It's amazing. It's amazing. In a few years, I won't be chasing your Uncle Xu." , Come on, come on, let me take a look, you are not thinner, just darker. You must have suffered a lot in the countryside..."
Mrs. Xu opened her chatterbox, took Xue Xiang's hand, blocked the door, and kept talking, her eyes filled with joy.
To put it into detail, Mrs. Xu really wanted to see Xue Xiang, because she knew that when her old man came down from the position of deputy minister of the Central Z Ministry, there was a lot of neglect in front of the door, and the old man was also extremely depressed.
Who would have thought that as soon as Xue Xiang came to the door that night, my old man would smile. After that, he went to Southern Xinjiang and became the executive deputy governor. Although his power was not as powerful as before, he was still a feudal official, and his old man was really
The situation in southern Xinjiang was opened up, and the officialdom became prosperous. Mrs. Xu knew exactly who should be thanked for all this.
Not to mention, my family is now in-laws with the Xue family, and the in-laws can be formed because Xue Xiang is the thread between the Xue and Xu families, which accounts for more than half of the factors. Therefore, when Mrs. Xu meets Xue Xiang, how can she not have a child?
joy.
Mrs. Xu kept talking for a long time. It was not until Xue Lin arrived at the living room with the baby in her arms that Mrs. Xu finally stopped talking, picked up the vegetable basket, and went into the kitchen with the helper. Xue Xiang also wanted to go into the kitchen and help with the beatings.
, but was kicked out unceremoniously by Mrs. Xu.
In desperation, Xue Xiang had no choice but to get into Xu Ziqian's study, find a large book and start reading it. Within half an hour, he heard the little guy outside the room shouting "Uncle Xu is back", and Xue Xiang put down the book.
, ran out.
He still had the same ugly old face. Although his temples were stained with frost, his hair stood up straight, his smooth forehead, and his bright red face exuded energy. Xu Ziqian looked full of energy.
"Uncle Xu!"
Xue Xiang rushed forward and stretched out his hand!
Xu Ziqian held the little guy with one hand and stretched out the other hand. Instead of catching Xue Xiang's big hand, the clinker waved it away and said with a smile: "Are you meeting me or meeting me?
I've been in officialdom for two days and haven't achieved anything, so I've got a lot of problems with being an official."
Xue Xiang knew that Xu Ziqian had this problem. If he didn't make a few jokes when meeting, he seemed to be at a loss for words. He took back his hand and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, shaking hands is the most basic politeness when meeting. How come you have become such a bad person?"
Bad habit? You see, you just opened your mouth to meet, to meet or something like that. It can be seen that in your heart, you always keep the officialdom level in mind."
Xue Xiang counterattacked sharply. Xu Ziqian was speechless for a moment and simply ignored him. He took the little guy's hand and sat on the sofa. He called Xiaowan and Xiaoyi again and began to ask about the three sisters' studies and life.
Dinner ended at half past eight. After dinner, the little guy was clamoring to go to Beihai to see the lanterns. Today is New Year's Eve, and Beihai must be very lively.
As soon as the little guy came up with this idea, there was a huge response. Xu Cuihuang had no choice but to drive Xu Ziqian's car and take the family on a trip, leaving Xu Ziqian, Xue Xiang, and two bureaucrats, one big and one small, at home to plot their secrets.
When eating just now, neither of them drank because they were concerned about the children around them. Now that the room was empty, Xu Ziqian went into the kitchen and brought out a plate of peanuts and two bottles of Chenmao. He opened the bottle without using a wine glass.
Gai'er bumped the bottle with Xue Xiang and poured a big mouthful into his mouth.
Xu Ziqian was born in the army, and he was from the most desperate death squad. Before any charge, he was not allowed to drink even half a kilogram of the strongest guillotine wine to burn the knife. How could he have imagined that his head would not be severed after countless charges. With this amount of alcohol and addiction
But the problem with drinking has been eliminated through practice.
"What's the matter? I heard that you are doing very well in Xiaoshan and are almost becoming a county tyrant? This is not good. After all, an organization is an organization, and superiors and subordinates respect each other. But clearly, don't act like a yamen. It's too big to be happy.
For a while, it would not be good to be labeled domineering in the future."
While talking, Xu Ziqian picked up a peanut, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it until it was crunchy.
Xue Xiang put down the bottle of wine and said with a smile: "Who was patting his chest on the phone and asking me to do it boldly? He said that as long as I work sincerely, no one can touch me. How come the words are not cold now?
, you have changed your tone again, this is unacceptable!"
Xu Ziqian glanced at him and scolded: "What nonsense! I asked you to do your job honestly, but I didn't ask you to sideline the secretary and the county magistrate. Do you understand that you are domineering? You must not use means when it is time to do so.
You may be soft-handed, but you still need to pay attention to a strategy. In official circles, you can win by hiding a needle in the thin layer and defeating the enemy with force. Do you know this?"
Xue Xiangdao: "Secretary Xu, you are trying to save others by yourself. As the saying goes, everything must have its own laws. Official affairs are inherently complicated and uncertain. How can you summarize them all with just one sentence? Let me tell you.
"Everyone has his own way. I can't learn from you, so you won't be burdened and have to teach me scriptures and sermons."
At this point, Xu Ziqian's face changed drastically, and Xue Xiang said anxiously: "Oh, oh, oh, don't glare. We are being reasonable, and we don't want to use force to pressure others. Didn't you just say that you have to hide the needle in the cotton, that's right?
There is a needle hidden in the cotton."
With a clang, Xu Zigan's chopsticks landed on Xue Xiang's head accurately, "I'm hiding my damn needle from you, kid!"
This guy has never won a quarrel with Xue Xiang. He always wants to impart some of his decades of accumulated officialdom experience to his nephew, but with just a few words from this guy, he makes people hate him so much that he can no longer hold back his anger.
Naturally, the matter of preaching and preaching was dropped, and it will be the same this time.
It's not that Xue Xiang doesn't want to listen to Xu Ziqian's teachings, but he believes that being an official means learning martial arts. Everyone has his own way and understanding, and he must teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Taking martial arts as an example, his temperament is
Just rub it on the outside and rub it on the inside,
It is round on the outside and square on the inside. To practice Chinese martial arts, I happened to choose one of the external boxing and the internal boxing. The external boxing is called Bajiquan, which is the way to walk vigorously and unrivaled, while the internal boxing is practiced
Tai Chi emphasizes continuity, density, mellowness and integration.
It was these two sets of boxing techniques that suited his character that allowed the gifted Xue Laosan to master them as soon as he practiced them. He became refined in just a few seconds, one inside and one outside, one hard and one soft. They complemented each other. He was in his twenties.
He has become a great master and can be said to be a far superior figure in martial arts in the past.
This is the best example of choosing the right path and achieving brilliant results. At the moment, Xu Ziqian wants to teach Xue Xiang something hidden in the thin air. It is okay to treat it as a rule of thumb. He must learn from Xue Xiang's temperament and learn the four different traits.
Since the topic was unreasonable, Xue Xiang was afraid that Xu Ziqian would continue his education. After asking a few questions about Han Donglin and Xiao Sun's situation in southern Xinjiang, he turned the conversation to him: "Uncle Xu, you have been in southern Xinjiang for a few years. I heard that
Your power in southern Xinjiang is even greater than mine in Xiaoshan. As deputy secretary and executive deputy governor, you are in charge of both the party and the government. This is incredible!
Your southern Xinjiang has been particularly good at attracting investment this year, and it has almost become a daily routine in the world. Why, Chief Zhenhua has always been rewarded for his merits, are you afraid that you are going to do something about it this time?"
