After a while, Xiao Jingyu heard Xiao Zheng answer the phone, his voice was quite enthusiastic: "Hello, Xiaoyue, are you in An County now, or have you returned to the provincial capital?"
Xiao Jingyu glanced out the window again and replied: "I'm in An County." Xiao Zheng said: "That's great, I'll send you some old tea."
"Old tea?" Xiao Jingyu was stunned for a moment, "What is old tea?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "Xiaoyue, have you forgotten? The last time I drank Pu'er tea, I told you that our town government.
There is an old tea tree growing on the back mountain, and the tea leaves are very good for making tea. I finally managed to get some of them, so I will bring them to you."
Only then did Xiao Jingyu remember that the last time he invited Xiao Zheng to drink tea at Liguang Tea Shop, he did say that the Mingqian tea from Lao Chashu was delicious. Xiao Jingyu also joked that he wanted to drink it too. It was just a casual comment from her,
How could she be short of tea? The East Lake Longjing she brought from the provincial capital was enough for her to drink until the Qingming Festival next year.
She didn't expect that Xiao Zheng would remember her casual words so well. However, now that she mentioned it, Xiao Jingyu really wanted to taste the taste of the tea from the old tea tree in this township, but she remembered what Minister Lu warned her about Xiao Zheng.
You must also stay vigilant. Does he really not know his identity? Or is he deliberately pretending not to know and approaching you?
Xiao Jingyu is not sure about this either.
Xiao Jingyu said: "Do you still remember this little thing? I just said it casually, you should keep it and drink it yourself." Xiao Zheng said: "How can that be done? I specially bought it from the aunt in the cafeteria.
, just to give you a taste. I, Xiao Zheng, keep my word. I promised to give you a drink last time, so I will definitely bring it to you."
Xiao Zheng couldn't see it, and there was a smile on Xiao Jingyu's lips. In Xiao Jingyu's opinion, Xiao Zheng had some habits of a township cadre, but he also revealed a kind of honesty that could not be found above. Xiao Jingyu said: "It's too bad to send him here specially."
convenient."
Xiao Zheng said: "It's nothing inconvenient. I drive a motorcycle and come and go very quickly. Just tell me where you are and I'll come over right away. I'll only delay you for a minute or two and I'll leave as soon as I arrive."
It was really kind and hard to refuse, and Xiao Jingyu was really interested in this old tea, so he said: "Okay, let's take a break at noon." Xiao Zheng said: "That's okay. I'll send it to you at noon.
?" Xiao Jingyu said: "Let's go to Anxian International Hotel. It's half past one. There is a parking lot behind the hotel. You know my car. I'll wait for you there."
Xiao Jingyu did not have a house in An County, so the county arranged for him to stay at the An County International Hotel, which has the best accommodation conditions. The accommodation fee was the negotiated price, which was half of the listed price.
Xiao Zheng didn't think much about it. He guessed that "Xiaoyue" was the boss of the company and it was normal to socialize at the Anxian International Hotel at noon, so he said: "Then I will deliver it on time at 1:30."
In Anxian No. 1 Middle School, Chen Hong was a little worried this morning.
Last night, it was Xiao Zheng who sent her home. When she arrived at home, Chen Hong found that her father, Chen Guangming, and her mother, Sun Wenmin, were still awake and were waiting for her to come home. Of course, Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin knew that their daughter was going to Tianhuang Town.
After meeting Xiao Zheng, the two of them were still worried about their daughter and Xiao Zheng. So they planned to wait for their daughter to come back and ask questions before going to bed.
When Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin heard that Xiao Zheng's new office had been settled and that each person now had an office, they both nodded and said: "This is not bad." When they heard that Xiao Zheng's position would soon be added to a "deputy mayor"
", the two of them were even more delighted. Chen Guangming also said: "The 'double deputy' problem was solved so quickly?! Taking up two deputy township leadership positions will be very beneficial to the next step of promotion to Zhengke. So, he
Now that he is the deputy mayor, what is he in charge of? Industry, agriculture, or social development?"
Chen Hong originally didn't want to mention Xiao Zheng's work, but now that Chen Guangming asked so clearly, she couldn't lie to him, so she had to say: "He is in charge of safety supervision."
Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin were both stunned and looked at each other. Chen Guangming said: "Why is he still in charge of safety supervision? Wasn't their deputy mayor punished before and transferred to the Red Cross? That's because this time
Only one person died, which is not a serious accident. If more than three people die, they will be demoted; if more than ten people die, they may be dismissed. I know very well that now there are mining operations in towns and villages, and mining accidents
It happens frequently and being in charge of safety supervision is like sitting on the crater of a volcano. Why is he still in charge of safety supervision?"
Sun Wenmin also said: "Yeah, why didn't he think of a way and pushed this job away! It's true, why doesn't Xiao Zheng have any sense of risk!"
Chen Hong knew a long time ago that her parents would definitely have something to say when they heard that Xiao Zheng was in charge of safety supervision work again. She had to say a few words for Xiao Zheng, so she said: "Mom, Dad, it's not Xiao Zheng who is in charge of any work."
He has the final say. In the town team, he is currently the most junior, so other leaders will naturally push the hardest, most tiring, and highest-risk jobs to him. So, don’t let him do this!"
Chen Guangming nodded and said: "This is true. However, the work of safety supervision cannot be done for a long time." Chen Hong sat next to his father, held his father Chen Guangming's arm and said: "Dad, you are the director of agriculture now.
Can you help me say hello to Secretary Song in Tianhuang Town and ask him to do a favor and not let Xiao Zheng be in charge of security supervision? Is that okay?"
Seeing his daughter acting coquettishly and begging for mercy, Chen Guangming had little resistance at first, but on this matter, Chen Guangming was a little unable to do what he wanted. He said: "Daughter, other township party committee secretaries and secretaries, it is better to say that I, the agricultural director, may come forward.
I can really say a sentence. But Song Guoming, my relationship with him is very ordinary. He has a very high eye, and he was almost promoted a few years ago, but the corruption case of Tan Xiaojie happened in the town, which directly led to
Song Guoming's promotion was also put on hold. But he always believed that he would be promoted to deputy county chief sooner or later, so he didn't pay much attention to us department directors. Besides, my relationship with him was only average.
"
Chen Hong didn't expect that Song Guoming would be so difficult. She thought quickly and said, "Dad, can you ask the county leaders for help and transfer Xiao Zheng to a different position?"
"How can this work?" Sun Wenmin said, "This definitely won't work." Chen Hong asked urgently: "Why not?" Sun Wenmin said: "Asking for help means you owe someone a favor. What about the favor of the county leaders?
Can you use it casually? Think about it, your father is now the director, and he will definitely make a move to the county leaders in a year or two. Therefore, important connections should be reserved for then. Besides, who is Xiao Zheng to us?
Human beings? They are nothing now."
Chen Hong said: "Mom, he is my boyfriend now, how can you say 'nothing'?" Sun Wenmin said sternly: "What is a boyfriend? If you say you are a boyfriend today, we might break up tomorrow." Chen Hong said
Hong, mom has something you may not like to hear, and I must tell you today."
Chen Hong almost knew what Sun Wenmin was going to say, so she remained silent. But Sun Wenmin still spoke: "Chen Hong, although Xiao Zheng has been promoted now, the work he is now in charge of is too risky, and he will be dismissed accidentally.
There is a possibility. Your dad and I don't worry about you being with him. What's more, the Xiao Zheng family's family background is too ordinary. His parents have always lived in the village, and they are both menial workers. You
Being with him is simply helping the government to help the poor! If we become in-laws with them, we won’t be able to get along with each other in the future! Your dad and I think that the best thing about marriage is that we are well-matched, so you’d better break up with Xiao Zheng
Even if you are reluctant to break up now, I advise you to calm down and reduce your interactions with Xiao Zheng recently. I am worried that something might happen to him."
Chen Hong said: "Mom, why are you always worried that something will happen to him?"
Sun Wenmin said: "No, I'm not worried about something happening to Xiao Zheng. I'm worried about you, daughter. We hope that you can be with a person from a good family and a bright future in your life, so that we can rest assured. You too
You have to put yourself in our shoes and think about it. We are all for your happiness!"
Chen Guangming also said: "Chen Hong, what your mother said is true. Don't think that we are annoying or snobbish. When it comes to your life-long affairs, we have no way out. We must be 'bothered' and must'
Snobbish, come to protect you! Chen Hong!"
Chen Hong looked at Sun Wenmin and then at Chen Guangming. She also knew that what her parents said was true to their hearts. She was even a little moved. She also firmly believed that her parents were thinking about her happiness. She could only say: "Mom, Dad, you
If you say anything, I will listen. I will consider it again."
Chen Hong said, then got up to take a shower and entered her room. She didn't sleep well that night. The next morning, she repeatedly thought about Xiao Zheng and her parents' opinions. She didn't know what to do.
Okay. At noon, she didn't want to eat alone, so she asked two female colleagues from Shang County No. 1 Middle School to go to the newly opened KFC in town to have lunch.
The three of them ordered finger-licking chicken nuggets, burgers and drinks, and chose a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window to sit down. One of the female colleagues asked: "Chen Hong, I heard that your boyfriend has been promoted to deputy mayor? Is that right?"
Chen Hong nodded and said: "Yes." Because of what his parents said last night, Chen Hong couldn't be happy at the moment. Another female colleague said: "That means becoming an official. When you get married, you will directly become an official.
Madam."
In the county town, the deputy mayor can also be regarded as an official. A former female colleague said: "Chen Hong may not be surprised. After all, Chen Hong's father is the director and he is a rich lady. Unlike us, our parents are civilians.
Common people, if your husband can have an official position, he will be happy to heaven." "Then you ask Chen Hong's boyfriend to introduce you to an official."
After hearing the compliment, Chen Hong just smiled and became unhappy. She looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and accidentally saw a figure riding a motorcycle flashing in front of her eyes.
Xiao Zheng! Chen Hong came to his senses. Wasn't it Xiao Zheng who was flying past on the street on his motorcycle just now?
Just now his colleague was talking about him, and he suddenly drove past. Could it be that Cao Cao was really there as soon as he said that Cao Cao was here? Or was she just being blinded?
Chen Hong was sure that she was not blind. She took out her mobile phone and called Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng quickly answered the phone: "Hey, Chen Hong?" Chen Hong asked: "Where are you now?"
Xiao Zheng said: "I'm in the county town and just passed by your school." Chen Hong asked: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Zheng thought for a while and felt that it would not be good to tell the truth and deliver tea to Xiaoyue, so he said: "I am going to the county and have a mission." Chen Hong felt relieved after hearing that Xiao Zheng did not lie to him and said: "
Oh, okay, then go and do your work. I seemed to have seen you just now, so I gave you a call. If there is nothing else, you can go to the county, I won’t delay you anymore.”
