Xiao Zheng looked at his clothes and was a little surprised that he came here wearing the down jacket Xiao Jingyu bought for him.
When he was in the hotel today, he actually thought about taking off his down jacket and coming to Chen Hong's house, but he forgot about it.
"It was issued by the work unit." Xiao Zheng hesitated.
He just didn't want Chen Hong and his family to know that Xiao Jingyu bought clothes for him. This kind of story is too complicated to explain.
However, Chen Hong seemed to believe it: "Mom and Dad, do you think we should still be treated like townships? Their New Year's goods actually include down jackets."
Chen Guangming also looked at Xiao Zheng's clothes and said: "Xiao Zheng, you and Comrade Guan Wenwei can give out New Year's goods to the team members, but you can't give out things that are too high-end, otherwise other towns and villages will be jealous. Fortunately now
The management of New Year's goods in towns and villages is not yet standardized, but may become stricter in the future."
Xiao Zheng did not expect that they really believed that in the eyes of Chen Guangming and Chen Hong, the township welfare distribution was random. Xiao Zheng said: "Okay, I will pay attention to it. In fact, this down jacket is also very cheap, so
One or two hundred."
Sun Wenmin pinched Xiao Zheng's clothes with his hands and was surprised: "Really? Is it so cheap? Can you get one for your dad?"
This put Xiao Zheng in a bit of a dilemma. Xiao Jingyu bought this dress at Hangcheng Building. There is still a question whether this style is available in Anxian. Secondly, the price is also very expensive.
Chen Hong said from the side: "Mom, forget it, a down jacket worth one or two hundred dollars, why do you want dad to wear it? I will buy one for dad then, right?"
Chen Guangming also cares about face. Even if a down jacket worth RMB 200 looks good, he really doesn't want to wear it, so he said: "I still have my down jacket. I haven't worn the one worth RMB 200 for a few days yet... Everyone has come back."
, let’s have dinner too.”
The New Year's Eve dinner has begun.
Drinking good wine and eating good food. But Xiao Zheng just remembered that the two people by the West Lake in Hangzhou had already finished the New Year's Eve dinner? Had they already started watching the Spring Festival Gala?
In order to prevent himself from thinking too much, Xiao Zheng simply let go and drank with Chen Guangming. Chen Guangming was also a good drinker, and the two drank a bottle of high altitude. After watching the party, Xiao Zheng proposed to go back, and Chen Guangming
Hong began to wonder whether to stay with her parents at night or go back with Xiao Zheng?
Xiao Zheng said: "Today is New Year's Eve. You rarely go home, so why don't you spend time with your parents today?" After hearing this, Sun Wenmin said: "Look, how sensible is Xiao Zheng?" She also hopes that her daughter can
Staying at home to celebrate New Year’s Eve, “Next year, when you get married, we can’t keep our daughter at home to celebrate New Year’s Eve.”
Chen Hong said coquettishly: "Why? I will still spend the next year at home." Sun Wenmin tapped her daughter's nose and said: "I don't understand!"
Xiao Zheng said goodbye to them and walked back. It was only a few kilometers away. He didn't want to take a taxi, so he walked back to the community, took a shower, turned on the bed, and picked up the "Scientific Development Reading" next to him.
After a while, he picked up "Swordsman" again and flipped through it. Unknowingly, it was past midnight. Xiao Zheng fell asleep in a daze.
When Xiao Zheng was a child, he always wondered why other families in the village had visitors coming and going during the New Year, but his own family was deserted, and his parents did not take him as a guest. He even didn't know who his grandparents were.
who.
Now Xiao Zheng is fully aware that this has something to do with his family being immigrants from other places. Fei Qingmei's family has long been gone in Huajing, and Xiao Rongrong has cut off contact with his family in Huajing. Therefore, there is no one at home during the New Year and holidays.
Relatives and friends walking around are completely normal.
Comparatively speaking, Chen Hong's family is very different. Because her family is a native of Anxian County, she has many uncles, three aunts, and eight aunts. When the Chinese New Year comes, Chen Hong's family's schedule is fully booked, and there are still some left until the end of the first month.
Endless meals.
During the Spring Festival, Chen Hong was either busy visiting relatives with her parents or having dinner with some leaders and colleagues in the county.
Xiao Zheng did not participate in any of these. He returned to the countryside since the first year of junior high school. He read political theory books at home during the day, drank a few glasses of wine with his parents during meals, and read martial arts books at night. He lived a comfortable life. In the middle
, he also called Xin Asi and asked him to come to his house for lunch.
After Xin Asi arrived, he first went up the mountain with Xiao Zheng to see the hotel where the Anhai Group had suspended construction. The sea of bamboo was still there, but the construction of the hotel could not even be considered as a foundation.
An Ruyi never talked to him about the project schedule. Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment, took out his phone and called An Ruyi.
An Ruyi answered the phone: "Mayor Xiao, happy New Year!" Xiao Zheng also greeted: "Mr. An, happy New Year, everything goes well!" An Ruyi smiled and said: "Chief Xiao Zheng should rest for the New Year, right?
?" Xiao Zheng: "Yes, I have been staying with my parents in Lushui Village these two days, and I usually don't have time to spend time with them."
An Ruyi said: "Mayor Xiao is really a filial son." Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "Mr. An, how could you not be the same? I heard from our village secretary Xin A that you seemed to have stopped working early at the end of last year.
Let the project team members and workers go back. Presumably, Mr. An must have gone back to accompany your father, right?"
An Ruyi cleared her throat and said, "Yes, during the Chinese New Year, I always want to stay with my family for a while."
An Ruyi could not tell Xiao Zheng about the pile driving problem yet because it involved the interests of the group and she could not disclose it to others.
Xiao Zheng asked: "I wonder when our hotel project will start after the Chinese New Year? I am currently standing on the top of the mountain above the hotel project, looking at the bamboo sea below, and thinking to myself, if the hotel can be built quickly, it will definitely be profitable earlier.
, it is a great thing for Anhai Group, the town and the village. So, I made this call, on the one hand, to send New Year blessings, and on the other hand, to inquire about the progress, so that we can arrange service work in advance."
An Ruyi thought to herself that Xiao Zheng was very dedicated to his work and would not let go of the things he determined. In fact, such a person was very much needed by the company. An Ruyi even wanted to poach Xiao Zheng.
idea.
In An Ruyi's view, Xiao Zheng is currently the mayor of the town, but after all, his starting point is still relatively low. He started as a township cadre and is destined not to climb too high. Even if he has the background, he can reach the level of county magistrate and county party secretary.
This level is already the ceiling, and it is even rarer to get to the deputy hall!
And if a deputy mayor is not greedy and does not take money, then his life will be like that, and he will not be able to accomplish anything big, but he will be limited to a small place like Jingzhou for the rest of his life; if he is greedy and takes money, he will make tens of millions.
It's not a problem, but from now on I will be in constant panic. I may not be able to eat well or sleep well every day, and I will live in fear of being investigated at any time.
In comparison, companies like An Ruyi are already listed companies and are no longer short of money. People are also free. If you want to be happy, you can go to New York to eat steak every month and go to Paris to see doves of peace. One project
I'm afraid I can make several lifetimes of money from other people.
Therefore, An Ruyi felt that if she extended an invitation, Xiao Zheng might be happy to join their group. However, this requires an opportunity and cannot be proposed directly for the time being.
An Ruyi said: "I flew over on the seventh day of the new year and started construction on the eighth day of the new year." When Xiao Zheng heard that the Anhai Group hotel project was at the same time as the government's working hours, Xiao Zheng felt relieved. It seems that the Anhai Group is listed after all.
A large company is relatively reliable in all aspects. Xiao Zheng said: "On the seventh day of the lunar month, I will help you catch the wind." An Ruyi was happy: "It seems that I can eat Anxian's unique local dishes again." Xiao Zheng said
Zheng said: "I asked my parents to cook a meal for you." An Ruyi was even more happy: "Okay, uncle and aunt's food is the most delicious. It was our first time to go to Lushui Village and our car broke down.
The meal is still fresh in my memory."
Xiao Zheng said: "That's because you are hungry." An Ruyi said: "On the seventh day of the lunar month, we stopped eating on the plane and were just waiting for the meal."
Xiao Zheng and An Ruyi made an agreement.
It was a sunny day on the first day of the new year. In the cold winter, the sunshine was overwhelming, and the water vapor rising from the bamboo sea was evaporated. Xiao Zheng said to Xin Asi: "Asi Secretary. Mr. An said that their project team and
Workers will go to Lushui Village on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year and start again on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
Xin Asi seemed to be relieved and said: "That's good, that's good. Mayor Xiao, to be honest, they stopped work so early last year. I was actually a little worried that they wouldn't be able to complete the project! Now, Xiao
The mayor helped confirm it, that’s good. It seems like I’m overthinking it.”
Xiao Zheng said: "On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, let's have dinner together to give Mr. An and the others a break. People come all the way back to their hometowns to invest, so we have to do something heart-warming." Xin Asi joked: "Mayor Xiao,
You know, I'm the best at things like eating and drinking."
"Xiao Zheng, Ah Si! It's time to eat!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Rongrong shouted from the bottom of the mountain, so that the whole village could hear it.
Xin Asi shouted: "Come down, let's open the wine!"
On the way down the mountain, Xin Asi suddenly said to Xiao Zheng again: "Mayor Xiao, I have always been troubled by that matter. That day when the hotel project was piling, there was sudden heavy rain and thunder, and lightning appeared in the sky. The strange thing is,
The lightning turned out to be in the shape of a dragon or a phoenix. I originally thought I had seen it wrong, but then I asked many people in the village. They all said they saw it too. This is a bit weird."
In fact, Xiao Zheng looked out the back window of the office that day and witnessed this strange scene in the sky. But as a leading cadre, Xiao Zheng did not want to talk more about this issue. He said: "Sometimes, the shape of lightning
There is also a chance, this time it happens to be similar in shape to dragon and phoenix."
Xin Asi shook his head and said: "This is not impossible! However, this coincidence is really a coincidence!"
Xiao Zheng changed the subject and said: "Secretary Ah Si, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Let's have a couple of drinks at noon, bask in the sun at the door in the afternoon, eat tea, and eat melon seeds!" Xin Ah Si said: "This arrangement is no longer available.
alright!"
The days of vacation flew by quickly, and soon it was the last day of the vacation, the seventh day of the new year.
On this day, Xiao Jingyu returned to An County at noon; An Ruyi flew to Hangzhou in the evening. That night, Xiao Zheng met An Ruyi.
An Ruyi said that they would start work on the eighth day of the lunar month.
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but feel worried. If they start piling work this time, will something happen again?
