Xiao Zheng looked at his watch. It was already eight thirty-five in the evening. He asked strangely: "Li Li? What's wrong with you coming to town at this time?"
Qin Keli said: "She said that she would report anything to Commissioner Xiao."
Xiao Zheng said to the others: "Let's all leave. Tomorrow will be the same time. By the way, we won't drive motorcycles tomorrow and will go to the village by car instead."
Xin Asi said: "Commissioner Xiao, there are eight of us, we can't fit in one car." Xiao Zheng joked: "If you can't sit down, let Sister Luo sit on you." Xin Asi, through the drunkenness, actually felt that they looked the same.
The masculine Sister Luo was also a bit more attractive. He said: "As long as Sister Luo has no objection, I definitely have no objection." Sister Luo smiled and said: "I have no objection either, but I am afraid of Commissioner Xiao's car.
Have an opinion."
The crowd dispersed amid laughter. They believed that since Commissioner Xiao said to go by car, he would definitely find a way, so they stopped worrying.
Xiao Zheng said to Qin Keli: "Chairman Qin, please wait a moment and come with me to meet Li Li." It was already evening, and Xiao Zheng didn't want to meet the female college student village official alone. Qin Keli readily agreed.
: "Okay, but you have to take me home later in the evening." Xiao Zheng said, "That's no problem."
It was so late and there was no other place for entertainment in the town. Xiao Zheng and Qin Keli were waiting for Li Li in the private room of Xiushui Restaurant.
When Jian Xiushui heard that Xiao Zheng was going to meet people in the box, she immediately asked the helper to clear away the dishes, ventilate the box, and serve a pot of tea. The box suddenly became much more comfortable.
After a while, the sound of a motorcycle was heard outside the hotel, and then it turned off. Qin Keli said, "Maybe Li Li is here. I'll go outside and take a look."
Xiao Zheng nodded.
After a while, Qin Keli came in with Li Li. Wearing a long dress, her hair was slightly wet and spread over her shoulders. At this time, Li Li looked taller and more elegant than in the village, but her reserved expression remained.
.
In order to dispel her nervousness, Xiao Zheng asked: "Xiao Li, did you drive a motorcycle from Baishuiwan Village?" Li Li nodded and said, "Yes, the village is full of mountain roads, and it is difficult to ride a bicycle.
Especially when climbing hills, I couldn’t climb them, so after I became a village official, I saved some money and bought a second-hand scooter.”
Li Li introduced the situation very clearly, as if he was afraid that Xiao Zheng would misunderstand. Xiao Zheng understood Li Li's feelings very well. As a college student village official, it would be difficult for her to be completely free and easy in contact with the town leaders.
Qin Keli poured a cup of tea for Li Li and said with a smile: "Li Li, sit down and drink tea and speak slowly." At this time, she suddenly heard the sound of a stomach rumbling very clearly. Li Li
Her face immediately turned red: "I'm sorry." Qin Keli asked quickly: "Have you not had dinner yet?" Li Li nodded.
A certain emotion flashed through Xiao Zheng's heart, and he shouted out: "Sister Xiushui, give us another bowl of noodles." Jian Xiushui responded: "Okay, come right away."
After arranging Li Li's dinner, Xiao Zheng looked at the girl and asked: "Li Li, it's so late today, why did you come to see me?" Li Li finally raised his head and said very embarrassedly.
: "Commissioner Xiao, I was very embarrassed when I was at the village department earlier. You asked me to talk about Bai Shu. Secretary summoning villagers to surround you. I didn't dare to speak. I felt like a coward and didn't dare to tell the truth. In addition, I
I also want to thank Commissioner Xiao for giving me the opportunity to convey the town’s “Implementation Opinions” to the two village committees.”
Xiao Zheng said: "It's nothing. You didn't expose your secretary Bai to your face, so there's nothing wrong with it. After all, you are a village official in Baishuiwan Village, and Secretary Bai is your superior. You can expose your secret in front of outsiders."
. The record is not very good. I can understand this. Secondly, read out the "Opinions on the Implementation of 'Beautiful Countryside'". You have reduced the workload for us, so there is no need to thank me."
Qin Keli said: "Yes, if you don't read it, I have to read it. Having said that, I have to thank you." Li Li said embarrassedly: "Sister Qin, you are comforting me.
In fact, there are very few such opportunities in the village."
At this point, Jian Xiushui came in personally carrying a bowl of green pepper beef and egg-vegetarian chicken noodles. This slightly soy sauce-colored soup, coupled with the bright colors of green pepper and eggs, would have made Xiao Xiao feel full if he hadn't already eaten.
Zheng and Qin Keli probably both wanted a bowl. Xiao Zheng said, "You eat first, and then we'll talk after you finish."
Li Li was indeed a little hungry, so he nodded, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and started eating. Most girls chew their meals slowly, but Li Li's noodles were in line with her tall stature.
He ate so happily that he finished the bowl of noodles in a short time. Li Li wiped his lower lip with a napkin and said, "It's so delicious."
Xiao Zheng asked again: "Li Li, besides thanking me for coming here tonight, do you have anything else to do?" Li Li looked at Xiao Zheng and replied: "Commissioner Xiao, are you still short of people?"
Xiao Zheng asked: "Why do you ask that?" Li Li said: "If Commissioner Xiao is short of manpower, can you lend me to the town? In the village, I feel that I am about to collapse. I may not be able to hold on.
.”
As he said that, Li Li suddenly started crying loudly. Qin Keli was worried about someone misunderstanding, so she closed the box door ajar. Qin Keli asked Li Li: "What happened when you were in the village? You can tell us
Tell me." Li Li looked at Qin Keli and Xiao Zheng and seemed unable to speak for a while.
Xiao Zheng stood up and said: "There may be something I am not suitable to hear. You can chat slowly. I will go outside to smoke a cigarette." Xiao Zheng walked out. Regarding the female village official Li Li, what kind of person is she?
, Xiao Zheng actually didn't understand it. She suddenly cried in front of him and Qin Keli, but it made him think twice. What if Li Li was performing?
So, Xiao Zheng simply stopped listening. When he got to the lobby outside, Xiao Zheng sat down in the chair next to the counter of the proprietress Jian Xiushui and asked: "How is the business recently?" Jian Xiushui replied: "It's better than before when I opened a noodle shop.
It was a good time. When I took out a loan to expand the store and renovate it, I was worried that there would be no business. Unexpectedly, more people came to eat than before."
"That's good." Xiao Zheng said, "It seems that there is no shortage of people with money in the town, but there is a shortage of places where they can spend money. The few dishes just now tasted good. In the future, the business will be better, and the quantity of the dishes will
You have to ensure the quality and taste, stick to the high-quality and low-price route, and your store will definitely get better and better as it opens in the town."
Jian Xiushui smiled and said: "Commissioner Xiao, I will take your words to heart. Only by giving people discounts can you reap the benefits." Xiao Zheng smiled: "Look, you can refine it better than me! You can do everything.
It's my own advertising slogan." Jian Xiushui said shyly: "How can I do it? It's not because of what you said just now, Commissioner Xiao, that I got some inspiration and just talked nonsense."
Xiao Zheng said: "Okay, don't be modest. By the way, I will meet the mayor Guan Mingming and tell him that there are guests from the town government to receive, can I also put you here?"
"No, no need." Jian Xiushui hurriedly waved her hands, "I don't know the tastes of the leaders of the town government and the officials above, and I'm afraid they won't receive a good reception. I'll just do business for the common people." Jian Xiushui
Feeling a little scared for no reason.
Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "Sister Xiushui, you don't need to be nervous. In fact, the so-called leaders all come from the common people. If you ask their parents or grandparents, they might be facing the loess with their backs to the sky.
'What about.
To be honest, the food in our canteen is really not good now, and cooking a table of food is not cheap. As long as your food is good and the price is affordable, so what?"
Xiao Zheng believes that as long as it is done openly and there is no issue of receiving kickbacks, it is perfectly fine to arrange receptions outside.
Jian Xiushui felt that what Xiao Zheng said was quite reasonable, so she said, "Commissioner Xiao, thank you in advance."
"Thank you for what?" Xiao Zheng said, "Sister Xiushui. In the past, you called me Cadre Xiao. Why did you change it to Commissioner Xiao now?"
Jian Xiushui smiled and said: "I didn't notice it before. Later, Fei Nuanli asked me why everyone called you 'Commissioner Xiao' but I called you 'cadre Xiao'? I realized that I really didn't
No matter how old you are, you are too ignorant." Xiao Zheng said: "Don't listen to them, you should call me 'cadre Xiao', or just call me Xiao Zheng, which is more cordial. How is Fei Nuanli now?"
Xiao Zheng asked. Fei Nuanli was Fei Genjiang's daughter, and she was preparing to take the college entrance examination. How to solve their life problems? Xiao Zheng was a little concerned.
Jian Xiushui said: "Nuanli's life is very regular now. She has been helping in my store during this time. She comes to my store early every morning. After completing all the vegetable washing work before five o'clock in the afternoon, she goes back. The rest of the time
She is studying at home to prepare for the college entrance examination. I will give her a thousand yuan a month, so that she and her father will have no problem eating."
Xiao Zheng said: "It's not easy, Sister Xiushui. Not only did you open a store by yourself, but you also helped Nuanli solve her life problems. This is to accumulate virtue." Jian Xiushui said: "We are all from the same town, and she is exactly what we need.
When I asked for help, she also helped me a lot."
Xiao Zheng said: "If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me directly."
Jian Xiushui smiled and nodded.
Xiao Zheng returned to the box, and Qin Keli and Li Li were almost finished talking. Seeing Xiao Zheng come in, Qin Keli said: "Commissioner Xiao, I want to tell you about Li Li's situation."
Xiao Zheng waved his hand slightly and said: "It's getting late today. Let's talk about things tomorrow. By the way, Li Li was driven out of Baishuiwan Village. It might not be safe to go back." Qin Keli said: "I let her come to me.
We're living together." Xiao Zheng asked, "Is this appropriate?" Qin Keli said, "It's okay. My husband is working on a project outside and won't be back for the past two months. I'm worried that no one will accompany me."
Xiao Zheng looked at Li Li and said, "Then don't go back. Spend one night at Chairman Qin's house and return to the village tomorrow. I will listen to Chairman Qin tomorrow about your matters."
Li Li nodded and followed Qin Keli back.
That night, Xiao Zheng spent the night in a dormitory in the town and called police officer Zhao Yougen from the police station.
He woke up from his dream in the middle of the night. In the dream, he actually saw Li Li being hurt by several men. One of the men was Bai Dakang, the village party secretary. He was very surprised why he had such a dream. It was probably because she was in the village.
His reserved expression and well-dressed appearance gave him the feeling.
But if you think about it from another perspective, would such a thing really happen?
