Xiao Zheng was startled for a moment: "Mr. Hou? Hongqi Mountain?" Chen Qingshan's voice was very sure: "Yes, come quickly. Secretary Jiang asked me to call you." Xiao Zheng became even more confused: "Jiang
Is the secretary here too?" Chen Qingshan laughed and said: "Come quickly, there will be a surprise. Don't forget to bring your wife." Xiao Zheng said: "Okay, I understand." Chen Qingshan said again: "Be careful on the way.
Be safe and must arrive safely.”
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng came to Xiao Jingyu's side and said, "Jingyu, you want to go somewhere with me." "Where are you going?" Xiao Jingyu's pretty face turned red and she said
He pulled me aside and said, "It's not good now. Everyone is here. Besides, there is no suitable place here."
Last night at the Yuerong Hotel, Xiao Zheng said he would go for a walk with her, and he took her to a room where candlelight and red wine had been prepared, and the two became intimate. Now, Xiao Zheng said he wanted to go to a place with her, and Xiao Jingyu naturally
I thought he wanted it again, so I said this. This place is not better than a hotel. In the countryside, hiding in someone's home or in the woods and between rocks? It's either inappropriate or unsafe.
After hearing what Xiao Jingyu said and looking at her expression, Xiao Zheng almost laughed out loud. He forced himself to hold back his laughter and said: "No, Jingyu, it's not what you thought. It was Governor Chen who hit her.
The call came and asked me to go to Hongbao Township with you. Secretary Jiang is also here, waiting for us to go there." When Xiao Jingyu heard this, his face turned even redder. Xiao Zheng had something serious to do, but he thought wrongly. She asked again
Said: "What should we do here? Everyone is still eating!"
Xiao Zheng said: "Comrades Jin Quansheng and Na Junying and I say hello and ask them to entertain everyone. You also say something to Secretary Gao. We will go see the leaders and come back." Xiao Jingyu said: "Okay." So, Xiao
Zheng went to Jin Quansheng, Na Junying, and Xiao Jingyu to find Gao Chenghan and told them about the phone call they had just received. Jin Quansheng, Na Junying, and Gao Chenghan heard that it was Secretary Jiang of the Provincial Party Committee, and Governor Chen must be looking for them.
If there is something important, let them go quickly, and they will take care of it here.
So, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu got into a commercial car, followed by Yang Xuehu and Tao Fang. Cai Xiang drove to Hongqi Mountain in Hongbao Township. Xiao Zheng was originally a car, but when he went to the countryside today, Cai Xiang changed to a commercial car.
, it comes in handy now. It is very spacious for five people to sit in. Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu sat in the second row, holding hands with each other, watching the night view of the countryside outside quickly passing by, and the stars above the plateau slowly moving, and their hearts were filled with joy.
Feeling of happiness.
Yang Xuehu and Tao Fang, who were sitting in the back row, felt a little embarrassed. Yang Xuehu saw that Tao Fang was beautiful and spoke and acted cleanly. Although it was the first time they met today, Yang Xuehu felt a secret affection for Tao Fang. But he did not dare to treat Tao Fang.
It was a little abrupt. After all, Tao Fang was a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention her family background. He could only maintain respect and keep a distance in his seat to make Tao Fang sit more comfortably.
Tao Fang saw that Yang Xuehu behaved well and was Xiao Zheng's liaison, so he thought that his character and ability should be good. The most important thing was that although Yang Xuehu's appearance was not outstanding, he gave off a friendly and friendly feeling.
He is calm and has a good impression of Yang Xuehu.
After all, they are in the same county. It is not very far from Baokang Village to Hongqi Mountain. Now the roads have been smoothed. There are not many cars at night and there are few traffic lights. After half an hour, we are already on the mountain road. Another pass. After a few minutes, they arrived at the parking lot under the cave dwelling at the Red Revolution Site. Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Zheng, Tao Fang, Yang Xuehu and others all got out of the car and saw orange lights on in the cave dwelling and Hou Yuankuan's house next to it. .
On the steps, Jiang Kuigang's secretary Xia Liangyu and someone from the Provincial Party Committee General Office came down to greet him. Xiao Zheng stepped forward, shook hands with Xia Liangyu and the people from the general office, and briefly introduced Xiao Jingyu, Tao Fang and Yang Xuehu. Xia Liangyu said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Zheng" Hello, Madam, it's a pleasure to meet you." He did not forget to talk to Tao Fang. Yang Xuehu nodded. In fact, Xia Liangyu and Yang Xuehu had known each other for a long time. Xia Liangyu then said: "Will you all follow me up?" Xiao Zheng nodded: "Yes. .”
Xia Liangyu led them up the stairs, but Xiao Zheng couldn't help but ask, "What's going on today?" Xia Liangyu turned his head and said with a smile, "We'll find out later." It's really hard to say, which makes Xiao Zheng even more confused. Fortunately, we'll find out later! Xiao Jingyu also felt strange on the side. The atmosphere today was a bit mysterious, but she couldn't ask more questions.
When they reached the top of the mountain, the lights in Hou Yuankuan's room, an old party member, shone out from inside. There were many people inside. Moreover, there were guards standing at the door with guns on their waists, giving people a sense of awe. Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu They felt that today's situation was different, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other. Xia Liangyu beside them slowed down and said to Tao Fang and Yang Xuehu: "There are many leaders in the room, I will wait outside with you later." Wait a minute." He said politely, and said that he, Tao Fang and Yang Xuehu were waiting outside, so the two of them naturally had no objections. Tao Fang said: "Boss, you don't have to worry about us." Yang Xuehu also smiled and nodded.
Xia Liangyu brought Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu to the door and reported: "Comrades Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu have arrived."
At this time, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu were standing at the door and saw five or six people surrounding the low table in the room. Some had put down their bowls and chopsticks, while others were still holding bowls and eating with chopsticks. There were also two chairs. It's empty.
Xiao Zheng found that Mr. Hou Yuankuan was there, as well as Secretary Jiang and Governor Gong. Xiao Zheng felt a little strange. Maybe the two leaders came to see Mr. Hou today. However, as his eyes moved, he suddenly noticed that they were familiar. But a long-lost face.
Beside him, Xiao Jingyu's voice was filled with surprise: "Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan?" It's really Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan! Then, it's understandable that there are guards guarding the door. Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu hurriedly said together: "Hello, Secretary !”
Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan still held chopsticks in his hand and greeted them, amiably and said: "Xiao Zheng, Xiao Jingyu, you are here, sit down." The two chairs should have been prepared for them, but the two of them still hesitated. At this time , Mr. Hou Yuankuan said: "Mayor Xiao, and Mayor Xiao's wife, please sit down quickly!" The old man made a gesture to stand up from his chair and invite them to take a seat.
In the eyes of Mr. Hou Yuankuan, Xiao Zheng is the most important person. He is the person who saved his life and the person who lifted Baoyuan out of poverty. During the on-site meeting yesterday, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu had already been there. The two of them also came to see Mr. Hou Yuankuan, but the old man was still very excited when he saw Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Jingyu put his hand on Xiao Zheng's shoulder: "Let's sit down, don't let the old man stand up." Xiao Zheng nodded and sat down with Xiao Jingyu.
There is a bottle of local shochu on the table, which can be bought for about ten yuan! Mr. Hou usually drinks this wine. Everyone here has a small white porcelain wine cup, which should contain this wine, because in the room,
There was no other wine. Next to the wine bottle, there were six or seven dishes, all home-cooked side dishes.
In front of Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu, there was an ordinary small bowl, a small wine cup and a pair of wooden chopsticks. Mr. Hou Yuankuan greeted: "You guys have some food." Xiao Zheng said: "Uncle Hou, we have eaten." Jiang
Secretary Zhongyuan said, "You guys can eat some more. These shallots, tofu, stir-fried vegetables and braised pork were cooked by me myself."
Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu were both stunned. A leader as big as Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan actually cooked at Mr. Hou Yuankuan's place! They didn't know that Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan's parents had a revolutionary past with Mr. Hou.
Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan personally promoted the East-West paired poverty alleviation project and achieved results in Ninggan. Baoyuan County became the first county to be lifted out of poverty. The mother of the former secretary also saw the news and told Secretary Yuan: "Baoyuan County has been lifted out of poverty.
Damn it, son, you did a good job on this. You can also go and see old Comrade Hou Yuankuan if you have time now."
"Mother, I am just thinking about this." Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan said, "If the people in the old district do not live a good life, I will be really embarrassed to visit Mr. Hou. Now, I can go. In these two days, I want to
Let's go to Guangdong first, and then transfer to Hongqi Mountain in Baoyuan." Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan's mother said: "Okay, you are right. You didn't go easily before, so you had this in mind! My son, you
Keep the old district in mind and use practical actions to improve people's lives. Well done! You can help me bring greetings to Mr. Hou. In addition, what else should I bring? I haven't thought about it yet. Son, give me some ideas.
?" The original secretary smiled and said: "I think Mr. Hou should not be lacking anything in his life now. I will cook some dishes for Mr. Hou and have a meal with him." His mother looked at him: "This is good.
"However, are your cooking skills as good as before?" Secretary Yuan said: "When I was cutting in line, I was good at making tofu with green onions, stir-fried vegetables and braised pork. At that time, I could make my friends who cut in line eat up their tongues.
Go on. I still have this confidence now." Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan's mother smiled: "It's good that you can still have this confidence."
Therefore, after Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan went to Guangdong for inspection, he transferred to Ninggan on his way back to Beijing. He went to Baoyuan to visit Hou Yuankuan, an old party member, and cooked a meal for Hou.
This is a sincere respect for the old revolutionaries and old party members. Hou Yuankuan, an old party member, was naturally happy. He also mentioned that he and his granddaughter were trapped in a cave dwelling on a snowy day and were rescued by Xiao Zheng and others.
, later the county protected and repaired revolutionary sites, developed red tourism and other things.
Secretary Jiang Zhongyuan had also learned before that the young cadre who led Baoyuan out of poverty was Xiao Zheng. In addition to this trip to Guangdong, Xiong Qi also reported Xiao Zheng's affairs to Secretary Yuan, hoping to transfer him to work in Guangdong, etc.
Because the original secretary was extremely busy with work and would return to Huajing in the evening, he could not wait to see Xiao Zheng during the day the next day. So Jiang Kuigang asked him to come over.
Chen Qingshan called Xiao Zheng and asked him and Xiao Jingyu to come over together.
At this moment, Chen Qingshan also said: "Xiao Zheng, Comrade Xiao Jingyu, usually you don't have the opportunity to eat the food cooked by the chief himself, hurry up and try it." "Okay, you really don't have the chance." Xiao Zheng took it.
She picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Xiao Jingyu also put the vegetables into a bowl and tasted them. But Xiao Jingyu took a few bites and just like other leaders, she didn't eat any more. She thought that eating vegetables today shouldn't be the focus.
Xiao Zheng took a few bites and suddenly said: "Is there any rice? I want to eat rice and vegetables at the same time. It will definitely taste better." "Yes, I will serve it for you." Hou Xiaojing hurriedly took it from the side.
Xiao Zheng took his bowl and filled it with a bowl of rice. Xiao Zheng ate a few home-cooked dishes such as tofu with green onions, stir-fried vegetables, and braised pork, and finished the bowl of rice in a short time.
"If you can eat well, you will have good health!" Secretary Yuan still held his chopsticks, nodded towards Xiao Zheng and said, "What do you think of the food I cook?"
"It's delicious." Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "But the braised pork is a bit salty and sweet." As soon as Xiao Zheng said this, the leaders next to him were a little stunned. How dare Xiao Zheng say that! They also tasted it just now.
Yes, there may be a little too much salt and sugar in the braised pork, but everyone said it was "delicious" and "the best braised pork I have ever tasted."
