Qin Feng did not leave, but drove directly to Li Dejun's house. He originally made an appointment to have lunch at Li Dejun's house at noon today, but Mr. Zhao forced to stay as a guest, so Qin Feng could only postpone the meal at Li Dejun's house until the evening.
When Qin Feng came to Li Dejun's house, Li Dejun had already summoned several old acquaintances to play mahjong that afternoon. Yang Delin and Lin Xiaoyan also came later.
That night, everyone was still drunk, but Qin Feng was not drunk. His drinking capacity was second to none in Bishan.
After coming out of Li Dejun's house, Qin Feng drove back to Guanshan, but after thinking about it finally, he drove the car to the downstairs of Hong Haifeng's house, and went upstairs carrying the cigarettes and wine he had prepared long ago from the trunk.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Logically speaking, this time is not suitable for New Year greetings, but Qin Feng couldn't care so much. The main reason was that he was dragged by Li Dejun to play mahjong in the afternoon and wasted time.
Qin Feng knocked on the door. After knocking for a while, Hong Haifeng's wife opened the door.
"Happy New Year, sister-in-law." Qin Feng said politely.
As soon as Hong Haifeng saw Qin Feng, he quickly shouted: "Haifeng, get up quickly, get up quickly, Secretary Qin is here. Secretary Qin, hurry up... hurry up, please sit down, please sit down."
Hong Haifeng was already asleep. When he heard his wife's call, he quickly got up from the bed.
"Secretary Qin, why are you here? Come on, please sit down and go make tea. What are you doing standing around?" Hong Haifeng scolded his wife.
"I originally planned to come over in the afternoon to pay you New Year greetings, but Li Dejun has been escorting me to the mahjong table since the afternoon and has not been available," Qin Feng explained.
At this time, the door of a nearby room opened, and Hong Yue, wearing pajamas, came out and stood at the door looking at Qin Feng.
"Are you here today?" Qin Feng asked first.
"I have a rest today." Hong Yue nodded.
"Hong Yue, go and help your sister-in-law cook some vegetables," Hong Haifeng said.
"No, no, no, I have already eaten. I just came over after dinner at Li Dejun's house. I will come over to wish you and your sister-in-law a happy new year, and then go back." Qin Feng said quickly.
"That won't work, Secretary Qin, you also know Bishan's rules for New Year greetings. When you come, you must have a meal and a drink, otherwise you will look down on me."
Hong Haifeng had already said this. What else could Qin Feng do? He could only continue to sit on the sofa.
Hong Yue also walked into the kitchen to help Hong Haifeng's wife prepare "late night snacks".
"Secretary Qin, last time..."
"Brother, I told you not to call me Secretary Qin."
"Well, brother, I haven't had time to thank you properly for being transferred to the Cultural Bureau. I was planning to call you in the next few days to ask when you would have time to go to Guanshan to pay you New Year greetings, but you came over first."
Hong Haifeng handed Qin Feng a cigarette.
"What's there to thank you for? You already invited me to dinner in Shannan last time, so why do you still want to thank me?" Qin Feng said.
The day after Hong Haifeng went to the Cultural Bureau, he specially hosted a banquet for Qin Feng in Shannan.
"That's different. You helped me a lot. Without you, I might never have thought of leaving Bishan in this life."
"You can't say that. How are you doing at the Cultural Affairs Bureau?"
"It's good. There aren't many things going on, and this kind of unit doesn't have so many intrigues. It's much simpler among each other. It's suitable for retirement and it's very relaxing." Hong Haifeng said with a smile.
Qin Feng could tell from the smile on Hong Haifeng's face that Hong Haifeng was really satisfied.
"When are you going to move here?"
"Let's celebrate the New Year. It's been a while since the renovations were completed. I'm planning to move to Shannan after the Chinese New Year, so I don't have to travel back and forth on weekends."
"Be sure to call me when you move house. You can't miss this glass of wine."
"That's for sure."
Qin Feng and Hong Haifeng chatted one after another.
Qin Feng thought that Hong Haifeng's wife was just making two random dishes to cope with the situation, but he didn't expect that Hong Haifeng's wife and Hong Yue were cooking up a table of dishes in the kitchen.
Regardless of whether Qin Feng wanted to or not, Hong Haifeng brought out two bottles of liquor.
"Brother, I really can't drink this wine. At best, I have to drive back to Guanshan. It's a bit far. Although there is no traffic police on this section of the road at this time, it is really unsafe. I will really get drunk if I drink again.
Already." Qin Feng declined.
"Then don't leave. We'll stay here tonight. It's not like we don't have a house. It's impossible not to drink during the Chinese New Year. You know the rules of Bishan." Hong Haifeng poured wine for Qin Feng without saying a word.
Qin Feng smiled bitterly. This is the rule in Bishan. The wine culture is too strong. Someone once said that you can smell the aroma of wine even ten miles away from Bishan.
"Brother, you really survived the catastrophe this time and will be blessed later. Everyone is spreading the word that the deputy county magistrate's seat that is vacant this time must be yours." Hong Haifeng said while clinking glasses with Qin Feng.
"This is all nonsense. You know that I am not qualified to be deputy county magistrate at all. I have only worked for more than two years and do not meet many conditions."
"You can't say that. It's normal to be promoted out of the ordinary. Everyone can see your contribution in this 113 case. It's impossible not to express it at the top. What's more, Secretary Xie is sitting on top. This deputy county magistrate
The position of chief is definitely not lost. I may have to call you County Chief Qin next time I see you." Hong Haifeng said with a smile.
