One night passed quickly. The next day, Qiao Liang got up early in the morning. After saying goodbye to Ye Xinyi, he sent a text message to Shao Bingyu and took a taxi back to his hometown.
Home is still the same familiar and friendly home. Qiao Liang has not been back for half a year, and nothing has changed at home. When he returned to Qiaojiayu, the neighbors all greeted Qiao Liang warmly when they saw him.
The village is already filled with the New Year atmosphere. Every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful scrolls, and Spring Festival couplets are pasted up. Everywhere is filled with the joy of the Spring Festival.
The happiest thing about Qiao Liang's return home was Qiao Liang's parents. The two elders knew that Qiao Liang was going to work in the northwest. Although they usually called and Qiao Liang always reported good news but not bad news, the two elders were always worried about whether Qiao Liang was.
To adapt to the climate in the northwest, they often heard people say that many people from the eastern coast would encounter acclimatization problems after going to the northwest, so the two of them have been thinking about Qiao Liang. Now Qiao Liang
When they came back, the second elder looked at Qiao Liang carefully. He saw that Qiao Liang had not lost weight, but her skin looked a little dry. The second elder couldn't help but feel relieved.
Qiao Liang's mother said: "Liangzi, I'm relieved to see that you haven't lost weight. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat the food there."
"Mom, it's all the same. Wherever you go, just do as the locals do. You are just worried about adapting to the food." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"It's different. I heard that the diet in the northwest is quite different from ours, and many people have nosebleeds when they go there. Liang Zi, don't you?" Qiao Liang's mother smiled.
"I didn't. I adapted to the climate over there pretty quickly." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
Qiao Liang's father went back to the house at this time, and then walked out: "Liang Zi, many leaders have come to pay New Year's greetings to your mother and me in the past few days, and they have also left red envelopes. We don't want to accept them, but they are very insistent.
You can’t keep it. Your mother and I can’t resist, so we can only accept it first. But we haven’t touched these red envelopes. I’m thinking of waiting for you to come back and then let you make the decision. If it’s not appropriate to accept it, you can take it back and return it yourself.
Give it to others.”
Qiao Liang's father handed several red envelopes to Qiao Liang. Once he held them in his hand, they seemed quite heavy.
Qiao Liang took it and took a look and found that each red envelope had names written on it, including Sanjiang County Secretary You Chengdong, Deputy County Magistrate Zhuang Jiaming, Yangshan County Magistrate Geng Zhi, Municipal Broadcasting Director Kong Jie, Jiangzhou Daily
Lu Ping, secretary of the society, and Sun Yong, chief of the inspection section of the Jiangzhou Party Committee Office, also came. Even Liu Yiping, whom he met in Songbei County just the day before yesterday, came over a few days ago to pay New Year greetings to his parents and also left red envelopes.
.
Everyone seems to be in tune with each other, and the red envelopes all contain eight hundred yuan. In fact, this amount is just right. Firstly, it will not touch the sensitive red line. Secondly, it represents a sincere heart, and it also means a good sign.
Qiao Liang looked at it, handed the red envelope to his father, and said, "Dad, since these red envelopes are a little bit of kindness from others, just accept them."
"Liang Zi, isn't this inappropriate? I heard that you are very strict now and you can't accept red envelopes randomly." Qiao Liang's father said.
"Dad, it's okay. This is just my feelings for you two, it doesn't matter." Qiao Liang smiled, "If even accepting an eight hundred yuan red envelope is considered bribery, then it's okay."
Qiao Liang's father nodded when he heard this, put away the red envelope again, and then told Qiao Liang that although Li Youwei could not come in person, he sent someone to deliver generous gifts.
Qiao Liang nodded. He knew that Li Youwei was very busy before the Spring Festival. During his busy schedule, he could still remember his parents, which made Qiao Liang feel warm in his heart.
Qiao Liang then took out his mobile phone and called the people who had just come to his home to pay New Year greetings. One was to thank each other and the other was to wish them New Year greetings.
Qiao Liang also made an appointment with You Chengdong, Zhuang Jiaming, Geng Zhi, Kong Jie, and Sun Yong to come to his house for a drink on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
On New Year's Eve, when bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Qiao Liang stood in the yard, looking up at the deep night sky. In his ears came the countdown voice of the host of the TV Spring Festival Gala, as well as the blast of firecrackers in the small mountain village. His mind was filled with excitement.
With emotion, another year has passed, and I have grown up by one year. As my age grows, my experience, experience and even qualifications are gradually increasing. With this growth and increase, what will my future be like? What will happen to me in the future?
What will be the outcome of hard work within the system?
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang suddenly felt confused and confused.
Then Qiao Liang thought of Fang Xiaoya on the other side of the ocean, and her heart couldn't help but be filled with care and longing, as well as a faint feeling of pity.
Then Qiao Liang took out her mobile phone and sent a New Year greeting message to Fang Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, at this moment of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, I wish you happiness and a speedy recovery. I hope you can recover and come back soon. I hope to see you again."
See your pure and innocent smile..."
After a while, Qiao Liang received Fang Xiaoya's reply: "Brother, happy New Year. I wish you and your parents good health and happiness. I wish you peace, success and success in the new year. Although we are thousands of miles apart,
I have been watching you and blessing you deeply, brother, you must be well..."
Looking at Fang Xiaoya's New Year's message, Qiao Liang breathed out softly, then raised his head and stared at the night sky. After staring for a long time, his heart ached.
Unknowingly, tears fell from the corners of Qiao Liang's eyes...
During the first and second days of the lunar month, apart from paying New Year greetings to the family elders, Qiao Liang spent the rest of his time at home with his parents and did not go anywhere.
On the second day of junior high school, my sister and her husband's family came over, and Qiao Liang got very drunk. Now he has achieved some success in the system. His sister and her husband's family are also happy and healthy, and both parents are alive and in good health. Qiao Liang feels that there is no
What could be happier than this.
Qiao Liang felt at this time that happiness is actually very simple, and the greatest happiness in the world is contained in the ordinary and peaceful.
Because he and his brother-in-law drank too much in the second grade of junior high school, Qiao Liang slept until about 10 o'clock in the morning in the third grade of junior high school. It was not until his mother came into the room and called him, saying that the county leaders were coming, that Qiao Liang got up.
When I came out, I saw that it was You Chengdong and Zhuang Jiaming who came together. They were sitting in the living room laughing and drinking tea with Qiao Liang's father. Seeing Qiao Liang coming, Qiao Liang's father got up and gave way to Qiao Liang.
I accompanied the two leaders and went to work on my own.
You Chengdong saw Qiao Liang and said with a half-serious smile: "Brother, you invited us to have a drink and dinner. We are all here and you are still sleeping. Isn't it too unholy to treat guests?"
"Hey, I didn't know that Secretary You and County Magistrate Zhuang would come here so early and have a drink later. If you drink two more drinks, I will make amends to you." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"The apology should be that you drank two more drinks. How come we drank too much?" You Chengdong glared.
"What you said is a general situation. In my case, it is not a general situation. Besides, you are drinking my wine. If I give you two more drinks for free, doesn't it count as apology?" Qiao Liang continued to laugh.
road.
"If you say that, then I'll stop drinking and leave." You Chengdong groaned angrily and started to get up.
"Hehe..." Qiao Liang grinned, as if you just leave and I won't stop you.
Zhuang Jiaming on the side just looked at this scene with a smile and said nothing. Of course he knew that Qiao Liang and You Chengdong were joking and they had a good relationship.
While the two were talking, the sound of a car sounded outside the door again. Qiao Liang stood up and took a look, seeing that Geng Zhi was coming, and hurriedly went out to greet him.
"County Magistrate Geng is here." Qiao Liang smiled with a smile on his face. Seeing these old friends, Qiao Liang felt happy from the bottom of his heart. These were also friends he deserved to make.
As Geng Zhi arrived, Kong Jie and Sun Yong also arrived one after another. As a group of people chatted and laughed, it soon arrived at noon. Qiao Liang, as the host, had prepared several boxes of wine early, including white, beer and red.
I'm getting ready for a big fight at noon today.
Qiao Liang's parents prepared a sumptuous table of wine and food, and started drinking as everyone gathered.
For the first glass of wine, Qiao Liang suggested that everyone drink together to celebrate the New Year and their friendship. It is not easy to get together to drink together. What is rare is that everyone can come together, which shows that they are all like-minded people.
This is particularly valuable.
After laughing and drinking the first glass of wine, Qiao Liang looked at everyone and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Unknowingly, he had his own small circle. Although everyone here was only a middle-level person in the city,
Even Sun Yong is not even a middle-level person, but he still holds important positions. In the future, there will be many further opportunities to play a greater role in Jiangzhou's institutional stage. This is his most valuable network resource. In the future,
These people here might be able to influence the political situation in Jiangzhou. After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future.
After Qiao Liang finished picking up the wine, Sun Yong looked at Qiao Liang with the wine glass and said: "Brother Qiao, I want to toast you. Without you, I, Sun Yong, would not be where I am today. I, Sun Yong, will always remember this love in my heart. You will have it in the future."
If you need anything, just say hello. If it can be done, I, Sun Yong, will never give up. If it can’t be done, I, Sun Yong, will try my best to help you. I’ll give you this glass of wine.”
Sun Yong said this on this occasion, obviously not shying away from others, and the others also heard the meaning from Sun Yong's words, looked at each other, and smiled knowingly.
After Sun Yong finished speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp. When Qiao Liang saw this, he raised his head and drank the wine without saying anything. He smiled and said to Sun Yong: "Brother Sun, you are having an affair with me. I am not happy to hear that. You have to
Punish yourself with a drink.”
"Okay, then I'll punish myself with a drink." Sun Yong responded with a smile without any hesitation.
"Come on, everyone, keep drinking." Qiao Liang took the lead again at this time. He is today's host and must keep the atmosphere up.
The group of people talked and laughed, but no one knew how much they drank in the end. Most of the boxes of wine that Qiao Liang prepared were consumed, and everyone was so drunk that they finally had to call the driver to drive.
After spending a lively day on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Liang spent time with his parents at home on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Liang returned to the city. He had to go to Li Youwei to pay New Year's greetings, so he couldn't stay at home longer. Liang Liang
Over in Liangbei, Qiao Liang was also worried about it. According to the original plan, he returned to Liangbei for duty on the sixth day of the lunar month, but now that he has been suspended, he will definitely not be needed for duty, but it is impossible for Qiao Liang to just go back.
Qiao Liang hopes to have an early result regarding his suspension, so this requires him to go back even more.
When they arrived at Li Youwei's house, Li Youwei was sitting in the living room drinking tea. Gu Shuyun warmly greeted Qiao Liang to sit down.
"Boss, how is the overall development of the group this year?" Qiao Liang asked. Qiao Liang was still very concerned about Chint Group.
"Very good, steady and improving, prosperous." Li Youwei said.
"It seems that Xiaoya is the right person to hand over the group to you. With you here, Xiaoya really doesn't have to worry so much." Speaking of Fang Xiaoya, Qiao Liang felt a little disappointed. Since Fang Xiaoya went abroad for treatment, Fang Xiaoya
He never came back. Even during the New Year, Fang Xiaoya was alone overseas. This made Qiao Liang feel uncomfortable when he thought about it. He was even more worried about how Fang Xiaoya's condition was.
On New Year's Eve, apart from exchanging text messages with Fang Xiaoya to wish her a happy new year, Qiao Liang did not talk on the phone. It wasn't that Qiao Liang didn't want to call, but she was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions when she heard Fang Xiaoya's voice.
Seeing Qiao Liang's worry, Li Youwei said: "Liang Zi, don't worry about Xiaoya. As far as I know, although Xiaoya's condition is a bit complicated, it is not a serious or terminal illness, and she also has Ji Hong abroad.
Xiao Zheng is with you, so you don’t have to worry too much."
Qiao Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this. He hadn't seen Fang Xiaoya for a long time, and he really missed her.
"By the way, Liang Zi, did the news about you I saw online years ago have a big impact on you?" Li Youwei thought of this and asked with concern.
"There must be some impact. I have been suspended from my job." Qiao Liang said. Seeing a worried look on Li Youwei's face, Qiao Liang quickly added, "But don't worry, I've got this right."
Have faith and get through it safely.”
"I didn't expect you to be suspended." Li Youwei frowned. He saw the news about Qiao Liang on the Internet a few years ago. At that time, he wanted to call and ask, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea because
He knew that Qiao Liang would come back for the New Year soon and would see him so that they could talk face to face. Moreover, the group had a lot of affairs before the Spring Festival and Fang Xiaoya was not here, so he was responsible for all the matters of the group. In addition, Qiao Liang did not give him any advice.
When he called, Li Youwei thought nothing was wrong. After all, a lot of news on the Internet was based on rumors.
Hearing what Qiao Liang said at this time, Li Youwei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the matter was so serious and Qiao Liang was suspended!
