Arriving at the Qingshi Town Administrative Office Building, Cao Shujie asked Song Baoming to stop the car, and Liu Furong opened the door and got out.
Before they could go inside, a group of people came out led by the mayor Luo Ningyou.
When he saw Liu Furong, Luo Ningyou shouted: "Secretary Liu."
"Lao Luo."
He then looked at the people behind him and found that these people included Deputy County Magistrate Huang Limin and Deputy County Magistrate Yan Guangtao.
In addition, there are also the heads of several bureaus and departments in the county. Liu Furong knows most of them, but he does not recognize them all.
After all, there are dozens of bureau units in a county, some of which are rarely seen by people, and Liu Furong, a senior town party official, cannot remember these units.
"What are they here for?" Several big question marks popped up in Liu Furong's head.
The next moment, Liu Furong stretched out his hands and greeted him with a smile: "County Magistrate Huang, County Magistrate Yan, come here, why didn't you say anything in advance."
"If I had known earlier, I would have said nothing and went out to inspect the construction progress of the industrial park." Liu Furong said.
This is also to explain to visitors why he was not there just now.
It's just that two deputy county magistrates came here with a team. What's going on?
Liu Furong couldn't think of it.
Cao Shujie originally didn't want to get out of the car, but when he saw that the people inside had come out, including his old acquaintance Huang Limin, he couldn't pretend to turn a blind eye, so he could only open the door and get out of the car to say hello.
"County Magistrate Huang, long time no see. You look even better than before."
"Hey, isn't this Boss Cao? I came here specifically to see you this time." Huang Limin's words were beyond Cao Shujie's expectations.
Even Liu Furong did not expect that Huang Limin came to find Cao Shujie.
What's the matter?
Before Liu Furong could figure it out, he heard Huang Limin say: "Boss Cao, the city has arranged for representatives of last year's top ten outstanding young pioneers in rural revitalization to visit your factory. I came to tell you in advance."
"..."
Cao Shujie really didn't expect this. He thought to himself, what is there to see here?
He also expressed his views and told Huang Limin.
But Huang Limin said that Xuemeng Food Factory is now famous far and wide and is a model for rural economic development. It is not an unknown person.
"Xuemeng Food Factory sets goals, focuses on key points, seeks development, and steadily moves forward in the process of expanding the factory itself, providing enough jobs for local development, and going all out to drive the development of the county's agricultural economy..."
After Huang Limin finished speaking, Yan Guangtao, another deputy county magistrate who came over, also explained the significance of Xuemeng Food Factory.
Behind the scenes, no one can ignore the existence of Xuemeng Food Factory.
The compliments made by the two of them made Cao Shujie feel a little elated.
I thought that even he didn't see clearly the value and significance of Xuemeng Food Factory. Those who didn't know it thought that Xuemeng Food Factory had already flown into the sky.
But Cao Shujie also deeply understood that Xuemeng Food Factory still had many shortcomings.
Cao Shujie did not object to the city's decision to make the Xuemeng Food Factory a place to visit among the top ten outstanding young pioneers of his generation.
He even wanted those people to come over.
We met in the city at that time. Due to time constraints, Cao Shujie did not have in-depth communication and understanding with them.
After that, they were busy with their own affairs and had no contact with each other.
Now that the city organizes this event, it is obviously to strengthen the exchanges between them and allow them to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.
"County Magistrate Huang, may I ask which leader in the city is leading the team this time?" Cao Shujie was curious.
Obviously, the person leading the team this time must be a very important leader, otherwise Huang Limin and Yan Guangtao would not come in person.
Cao Shujie guessed correctly again.
Yan Guangtao told him that the person leading the team this time was Zhu Lingyun, the deputy mayor, who was also the first deputy municipal leader Cao Shujie met.
He did not dare to neglect, and promised the two of them that Xuemeng Food Factory would be kept clean, so as to show the best side of Xuemeng Food Factory to outside guests.
Huang Limin and Yan Guangtao obviously came here with a mission, and they also visited the Xuemeng Food Factory with Cao Shujie.
During this process, Liu Furong, Luo Ningyou and others followed behind, listening to Cao Shujie introducing the situation of Xuemeng Food Factory to Huang Limin, Yan Guangtao and others.
It wasn't until about 4 p.m. that things were finished.
Cao Shujie originally thought of making arrangements for the evening and inviting Huang Limin and Yan Guangtao to stay for dinner together. Who knew that the two of them had to rush back to the county because of something urgent, and they would have to wait for the meal to be eaten another day.
Cao Shujie could tell that they didn't mean to shirk, so he didn't ask any more questions.
When he returned home from town, Cao Shujie told his wife Cheng Xiaolin that the city had arranged for last year's top ten outstanding young people in rural revitalization to come and visit.
Cheng Xiaolin thought further than he thought: "Shujie, will the government departments behind those people last year also come to visit and learn from them?"
When Cao Shujie was thinking about what his wife said, Cheng Xiaolin continued: "After all, the development of Xuemeng Food Factory this year is obvious to all. Qingshi Town has benefited from the development of Xuemeng Food Factory and has also greatly improved its economic development."
"Wife, you are right to say that, but my previous consideration was a bit one-sided." Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Xiaolin shook her head: "I'm just telling you nonsense, and it may not be accurate."
"Forget it, I don't want to think about that. How do you feel about today?" Cao Shujie asked her.
Cheng Xiaolin said that today was pretty good.
She has had no more morning sickness since her last morning sickness, and is otherwise normal.
Cheng Xiaolin felt that the child in her belly was really here to repay her kindness.
"Speaking of which, I suffered a lot when I was pregnant with Mengmeng." Cheng Xiaolin began to complain.
"After she is born, you will know that she is a naughty child. She will not listen to anything you say. The more you talk to her, the more she will resist."
Cao Shujie looked around and saw that Mengmeng was not there. He breathed a sigh of relief: "If Mengmeng is here, don't say these words, otherwise she will remember them in her heart and have opinions about you."
Cheng Xiaolin didn't care, she said: "Husband, are you a little unfounded? With Mengmeng's careless temperament, how can she remember anything?"
"Hey, don't believe it. Think about Mengmeng's memory. She remembers a lot of things." Cao Shujie didn't even bother to give examples to refute.
Cheng Xiaolin thought of some of the things Mengmeng often talked about, and she stopped talking.
In two consecutive weeks, half of December has passed.
There is less than a week left before New Year's Day. At this time, Caojiazhuang has already begun to prepare for the 'everyone's banquet'.
The new conference hall in Caojiazhuang is still under construction and has begun to take shape. According to the plan, it will not be put into use until March or April next year.
The whole structure is made of steel structure as the skeleton and colored steel plates as the shield.
Air conditioners and radiators are installed inside for cooling and heating respectively.
At the same time, commonly used sports equipment will also be installed inside so that the people of Caojiazhuang can use it as a gymnasium to exercise when they are not having meetings, killing two birds with one stone.
They held this big family banquet at a farm restaurant at the north end of Caojiazhuang Village.
The farm restaurant provides the venue and enough tables and chairs.
And the chef who cooks big pot dishes.
All ingredients are purchased by the Caojiazhuang Village Committee, and safety supervision of the ingredients is done at the same time.
As of November, there are 396 households in Caojiazhuang with a population of 1,386.
By all accounts, the village is not small.
Cao Shujie thought about the whole village gathering together for a meal. The lineup must be very big, and he looked forward to it.
It's just that the last time Huang Limin came here specifically to say that the city organized last year's top ten outstanding young people in rural revitalization to visit Qingshi Town to visit the Xuemeng Food Factory, there was no follow-up. Cao Shujie didn't receive any new notifications, so he simply stopped paying attention.
I just asked the factory to do a good job on-site for 5 seconds while producing.
As the end of the year approaches, he has a lot on his plate.
Caojiazhuang will hold a banquet for everyone soon, and the factory also plans to hold a company celebration on the eve of the Spring Festival holiday.
His wife is pregnant now.
This year I also want to take my grandfather, parents, wife and daughter to travel abroad to celebrate the Spring Festival.
One after another, Cao Shujie was a little busy.
This afternoon, Cao Shujie returned home from work in town.
When he entered the gate, he saw his mother feeding the dog in the yard.
His grandfather was listening to Peking Opera under the eaves.
After Cao Shujie greeted them, he went upstairs to change clothes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came up, he saw his wife half-lying on the sofa in the small room outside, holding a mobile phone in one hand and wiping tears with the other.
This time Cao Shujie was frightened.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Shujie asked her: "What's wrong with my wife? Is something wrong with our parents?"
Cheng Xiaolin wiped her eyes with her hands and said that her husband asked her inexplicably. Before she could figure it out, she saw that her husband had thrown clothes for her. She also didn't change her own clothes and was looking for things everywhere.
"Honey, you put on your clothes and I'll drive you to Chengjiapo to have a look." Cao Shujie said.
After a while, Cao Shujie pulled out a suitcase from the house. Cheng Xiaolin, who was half lying on the sofa looking at her mobile phone, was stunned.
She sat upright and looked at her husband who was busy putting clothes in the suitcase. She had no idea what her husband was doing.
"Shujie, what are you doing?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Cao Shujie said: "Why were you crying just now? Didn't you just answer the call from our parents? Is there something wrong with them? Get dressed quickly and I will take you back to Chengjiapo to have a look."
After speaking, Cao Shujie turned around and continued to put clothes in the suitcase.
He asked without looking back: "Is our father feeling unwell, or is our mother feeling unwell? This time I won't let Mengmeng make trouble. I'll follow you to take care of him for a few days."
"No, nothing happened to my parents." Cheng Xiaolin quickly explained.
Cao Shujie didn't believe it: "Nothing happened, so why are you crying after answering the phone?"
Cheng Xiaolin couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know how to explain it.
She simply turned the phone screen to her husband: "I'm watching a movie, "No One Left Behind". You've seen it, too. The plot in it made me cry. What are you thinking about?"
Cao Shujie: "..."
"Then you didn't tell me earlier. As soon as I came up from below, I saw you crying with a mobile phone in your hand. I thought something happened to our parents." Cao Shujie gave a false alarm and felt that he was a little nervous.
over.
But Cheng Xiaolin understood what was going on, and she was very moved. She threw her phone aside and shouted: "Husband, thank you!"
"Thank you. You are pregnant now. Try not to watch those movies that are too sensational. It is not good for your second child." Cao Shujie took out clothes from the suitcase again.
Cheng Xiaolin watched from the sofa, not knowing how to say good things to her husband.
But based on how anxious Cao Shujie was just now, Cheng Xiaolin felt that she had never married the wrong person in her life.
After tidying up the suitcase and putting it back behind the door of the cabin, Cao Shujie changed out of her clothes and put on cotton mops, lying on her back on the bed in the bedroom: "There are a lot of shit, but I'm exhausted.
."
"Then why don't you take a rest?" Cheng Xiaolin felt a little distressed.
Cao Shujie also wants to rest, but there are still many things to do, and it is not the time to rest yet.
"Wait a little longer. After we finish our work in a while, we will go out to celebrate the Spring Festival."
Cao Shujie said.
"Husband, where are you going?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Cao Shujie thought for a while and said: "There are many places I can go to, including Sanya, Yunnan, Dali, Kunming, and many other places."
"Let's find a place to play." This is what Cao Shujie thought about.
Especially since their family is not short of money now.
After Cheng Xiaolin heard what her husband said, she felt it was pretty good.
"Then are we really going?" Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Of course it's true. Once the Daqing event in my factory is over, we'll leave and come back after the New Year."
"You should tell your parents in advance." Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Don't worry, it's okay."
During dinner in the evening, Cao Shujie told his parents about traveling abroad this year to celebrate the New Year.
Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan felt very fresh after listening to it.
"Isn't it okay to just stay at home? Why don't you go on a trip?" Cao Jianguo said.
But Wang Yuelan hit her husband to make him say less.
She said: "Okay, Shujie, you can arrange this matter. Your father and I have no objections. I will listen to you when the time comes."
"Grandpa, let's find a warm place to celebrate the New Year together, okay?" Cao Shujie asked him cautiously.
Cao Zhenghu had no objection.
It's just that he is worried that going out to play will cause trouble to his grandson and grandson's wife.
Cao Shujie is not worried at all.
He also said that he would ask his uncle later if he wanted to go together.
Cao Shujie also explained to his grandfather that many elderly people in the north would rent houses in warm cities when the weather is cold.
This is true, especially those who are elderly and have asthma and have retirement wages. Many people will do this.
…
On December 21st, four buses drove from Yiling City and finally stopped at the entrance of Xuemeng Food Factory in Qingshi Town.
At this time, a red banner hung at the entrance of Xuemeng Food Factory.
The banner clearly stated that city leaders and representatives of the top ten outstanding young pioneers of rural revitalization in Yiling City were welcome to visit.
This was prepared temporarily after Cao Shujie received a call from the county the day before yesterday.
Because Huang Limin, Yan Guangtao and others came over in advance to ventilate Cao Shujie, this visit was not unexpected.
Cao Shujie's preparation was also very comprehensive and sufficient.
When Zhu Lingyun got out of the car with others, some leaders from Pingyuan County, most leaders from Qingshi Town, and managers from Xuemeng Food Factory, led by Cao Shujie, came up to greet him.
Cao Shujie also saw Liu Yang, Zhang Cheng, Wang Jianhua, Sun Shimin and others in the crowd.
Although he doesn't usually keep in touch, Cao Shujie has a good memory and is able to pick up the numbers at critical moments.
He even remembered what these people did.
He was able to greet him with ease, but Cao Shujie's excessive enthusiasm made the other party a little at a loss.
Fortunately, Zhu Lingyun came over in person. When she saw Cao Shujie, she waved to him and asked Cao Shujie to come to her side. Then she continued: "Xiao Cao, if you are free now, take us to visit the factory together, okay?"
