Qin Keli and Xin Asi were excitedly talking about how to build a road up the mountain in Xiushui Village and other matters while walking down the mountain. They did not pay attention to Daben parked in front of his house like Xiao Zheng.
Coming down from the mountain, his view was gradually blocked by miscellaneous trees and rocks along the way, and Xiao Zheng could no longer see the car. When he arrived at the door of his home, Xiao Zheng wanted to take a closer look, but the Mercedes-Benz had miraculously disappeared.
.
Xiao Zheng asked Xiao Rongrong: "What is the Mercedes-Benz parked at the door just now?" Xiao Rongrong denied it: "Where did it come from?" Xiao Zheng thought that Xiao Rongrong didn't recognize Daben, so he said: "It's that black brand car.
"The car." Xiao Rongrong: "Where is the car? Your car hasn't arrived yet."
Xiao Rongrong denied it, and Xiao Zheng had no choice but to run to the stove and ask Fei Qingmei: "Mom, just on the mountain, I saw the car with a black license plate parked in front of my house. What was going on?" Fei Qingmei
He also showed a strange expression: "Where did the car come from? Xiao Zheng, are you just seeing it?"
Both his parents said no. Was he imagining it? Or were his parents acting on him? Xiao Zheng believed that he would not be dazzled. But both parents were unwilling to say it. There must be a reason.
"Come on, the white chicken is here." Fei Qingmei, the mother, shouted, "You can start serving the meal. Rongrong, hurry up and open the white wine." Xiao Rongrong responded: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll open the wine right away."
Xiao Rongrong took out a bottle of high-quality Lu wine, and took out five wine cups and filled them all.
Qin Keli and Xin Asi politely invited Fei Qingmei to come and eat. Fei Qingmei said that she also had some green onion and egg soup and a Chinese cabbage to fry, and asked them to eat it while it was hot. So the four of them took the wine glasses first.
, drink some wine.
Everyone talked and laughed, and also talked about where the money would come from to invest in infrastructure in the future. In short, the topic was very casual and quite relaxed. Everyone was still very confident about the future of the village. Xin Asi did not forget to express his gratitude to Xiao Zheng’s parents.
They flattered Xiao Zheng and said that it would be a great blessing for them to give birth to a son like Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Rongrong said modestly: "He doesn't think Xiao Zheng is any better. He mainly depends on everyone's help." Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei also toasted Qin Keli and Xin Asi's wine. At noon, the five of them drank one
It was over 500 kilograms. Originally, everyone could still drink it, but Xiao Zheng refused to let him drink it anymore. It would have bad effects if he drank too much in the village.
Qin Keli and Xin Asi knew that Xiao Zheng must have something to talk to his family, so they left. When there were only three of them left at home, Xiao Zheng asked again if there was a big car parked in front of the house before. The two
The old man denied it again. Xiao Zheng didn't want to force them, so he said, "If anything happens at home, you must tell me." Xiao Rongrong said, "You are my son. If I don't tell you something, who should we tell?"
Xiao Zheng saw that his family was indeed safe now and there was nothing serious, so he stopped asking further questions. He also told Chen Hong's parents that they had invited them to have dinner together to discuss their engagement.
Fei Qingmei looked happy: "The Chen family is finally willing to marry their daughter to you. This is great, we can do it at any time, as long as you are free." Xiao Rongrong said: "Xiao Zheng, you have thought about it.
, Do you want to marry the daughter of the Chen family?" Xiao Zheng was stunned again when his father asked him, does he want to marry Chen Hong?
"What are you talking about?!" Fei Qingmei scolded Xiao Rongrong, "My son has been in love with Chen Hong for nine years. Do you think he is joking! If you say such things, you will be criticized by the Chen family.
Listen, I'm afraid this matter will be postponed again! I already want to see my son get married, and I also want to have a grandson! Don't create any trouble for me, do you hear me?!"
Xiao Rongrong was scolded by his wife and his voice became lower, but he still said: "Marriage is a big event in life. I couldn't do it accurately in dating before, but getting married is a lifelong matter. What's more, Xiao Zheng is also a leader now
Cadres, if things don't work out well in the future, you can't just leave them just because you want them."
"What's the word 'just leave'!" Fei Qingmei couldn't stand hearing it anymore, "Xiao Rongrong, can you say one less thing? The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes." Xiao Rongrong said: "Okay, okay, okay, I don't say much.
I said, in short, just one sentence, Xiao Zheng needs to think clearly on his own, and if he thinks clearly, we will definitely agree to the engagement."
Fei Qingmei turned to Xiao Zheng: "Your father is right, just think about it clearly." Xiao Zheng said: "I have been talking to Chen Hong for nine years, and I have not talked to anyone else except her.
After all, I should be with her for the rest of my life. I have thought about this clearly." Fei Qingmei said: "Well, you can set a time to meet together and get engaged first."
After lunch, Xiao Zheng took a nap in his room in the countryside.
Without the smoke and noise of the quarry, the Birdsong Mountain in Lvshui Village is even more secluded. The autumn breeze blows in from the window railings, caressing the sleeping Xiao Zheng. It feels unusually comfortable and soft. Xiao Zheng has not felt this for a long time.
I enjoyed such a peaceful and relaxing nap, and the fatigue of the past few days was healed by this nap. When I woke up, the alcohol was gone and I felt more energetic.
Not long after Xiao Zheng woke up, he received a call from Chen Guangming: "Xiao Zheng, the dinner party hosted by the county manager tonight is at six o'clock in the evening, and the location has been decided at the Anxian International Hotel. Since we agreed to go, we all
Don’t be late, let’s go there together, can you pick me up in your car?”
Xiao Zheng didn't use the bus on Saturday. He said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Chen, I gave the driver a day off today." "A holiday?" Chen Guangming was a little surprised, "The driver still needs a day off? Well, let me give it to you."
The driver will pick you up first, and then pick me up." Xiao Zheng said: "No, I'll drive there by myself on the motorcycle. See you for dinner." Chen Guangming thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, I'll see you then, no need.
late."
Anxian International Hotel? Why put it there?
County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu lives in the Anxian International Hotel. If she sees him and Fang eating together later, how can he explain it? This can easily cause misunderstandings. Xiao Zheng thought, he will have to go there later.
Be careful and go upstairs to the box as soon as you arrive to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
But what Xiao Zheng didn't expect was that some things are just such a coincidence. Xiao Zheng arrived at Anxian International Hotel at 5:55 in the evening. He wanted to walk into the lobby and take the elevator, but his father-in-law Chen Guangming happened to be delivered by car as well.
Resident Xiao Zheng said: "Just now County Magistrate Fang's secretary Lu Li called me and said he would be there in two minutes. Let's wait for Magistrate Fang."
Xiao Zheng said: "We go to the private room upstairs to wait, isn't it the same?" Chen Guangming said: "It only takes two minutes, it will be quick, let's wait in the lobby. You also know that Fang County Chief has this
He is very face-conscious. Since he asked Lu Li to call us, we might not be happy if we don't wait below." Xiao Zheng said: "It's too difficult to make Mr. Fang County happy." Chen Guangming said
: "Just wait two minutes. If not, we'll go upstairs."
Chen Guangming said so, and Xiao Zheng had no choice but to stand in the foyer and wait. Within two minutes, an Olympic car arrived and stopped in the foyer. County Magistrate Fang and his secretary Lu Li got out of the car.
Xiao Zheng thought, it was quite on time. When Magistrate Fang saw Xiao Zheng and Chen Guangming waiting in the foyer, he smiled and said, "I asked you to wait for me." Chen Guangming said, "That's right, County Magistrate Fang.
Please come first, sir." Everyone walked towards the door.
But it was such a coincidence that just as they walked into the hotel's automatic door, county party secretary Xiao Jingyu and secretary Li Haiyan were also walking out from inside.
Xiao Jingyu saw Xiao Zheng and County Chang Fang were together, and his brows moved slightly, and Li Haiyan's expression also showed a slight panic. However, County Chief Fang smiled heartily and said: "Secretary Xiao, are you going out to socialize? Me and
Director Chen, Mayor Xiao has something to do today, so let’s have a casual meal together.”
Xiao Jingyu stopped. She did not look at Xiao Zheng, but said to the county magistrate: "I'm not going to socialize. I'll go back to the office to handle some things." Then Xiao Jingyu looked at Xiao Zheng: "Mayor Xiao, you Tianhuang Town
If you have any financial needs for the 'Beautiful Village Construction', take this opportunity today to report to County Chief Fang and Director Chen. If you need support from the county, you are welcome."
Xiao Zheng immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Xiao, I understand." Xiao Jingyu added, "Then you go have dinner, bye."
After saying that, Xiao Jingyu calmly walked outside.
County Magistrate Fang also walked towards the elevator entrance, with a cunning smile on his face. The time was just right, allowing Xiao Jingyu to see him, Xiao Zheng and Chen Guangming together.
When they arrived at the box area, County Magistrate Fang, Xiao Zheng and Chen Guangming entered, while secretary Lu Li dialed a phone number outside.
The other party picked up and asked, "Secretary Lu, how about the time I provided? Is it just right?"
Lu Li chuckled softly and said: "It couldn't be better! Director Ma, according to the time point you provided, County Chief Fang took the two of them in, and Secretary Xiao just walked out and bumped into each other. Xiao Shu.
Although there is no expression on his face, I think he must have opinions about Xiao Zheng and Chen Guangming."
Ma Fei, director of the county party committee office, said on the other end of the phone: "That's good. I have completed the task assigned by County Chief Fang." Lu Li said: "Then let's do this for now. County Chief Fang has assigned us today.
I’ll treat you to a supper later.” Ma Fei said: “Then I’ll wait and thank County Chief Fang for me.” Lu Li said: “You’d better thank County Chief Fang in person later, it’s a better relationship!” Ma Fei said
Feidao: "That's okay."
In the private room, Mayor Fang walked in and began to sit down.
The staff at this dinner party made Xiao Zheng really uncomfortable.
In addition to County Magistrate Fang and his secretary Lu Li, there are also Executive Deputy County Magistrate Li Qiao, Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Wu Fan, Municipal Government Office Executive Deputy Mayor's Secretary Cai Shaohua and others.
These people were mixed together, and Xiao Zheng couldn't figure it out for a while. What did County Chief Fang mean by asking them to come for dinner? Chen Guangming was also confused.
The previous toasts were as boring as ever. After finishing the round, Chen Guangming stood up and toasted Fang County Chief. Without thinking, Fang also said: "Director Chen, I heard that your bureau has set up a small treasury?"
When Chen Guangming heard this, he was so excited that the wine in his glass sloshed out.
