In the afternoon, I finished today's work very early. In fact, I didn't do much during the day today. I mainly went to the construction site to express my condolences to the construction workers who did not have a holiday. At noon, I had lunch with them at the construction site. Of course,
These scenes were recorded by TV stations and city newspaper reporters.
I went to the square to look around in the afternoon and found that the place was more lively and the lottery was still going on. The citizens were finally attracted by this method, and many families came to the square with their children. Pedestrians on the street also
Quite a bit, the whole city was finally no longer so deserted, and what I saw in my eyes were warm and peaceful pictures.
I returned home after four o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Sui had already bought me groceries. He told me: "Mayor Feng, I'm lucky today. I bought something good."
I asked him with a smile: "What good thing? Look at you so happy."
He smiled and answered me: "Pig blood, real pig blood."
I was startled, "What good thing is this?"
He said with a smile: "What we usually eat is Xuewang made from blood meal and certain additives. We can't eat real pig blood like this at all."
I had heard of this, so I usually don’t eat much of that stuff. I asked him, “Did you get the pig blood from the canteen of the city government?”
He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, you are really very perceptive. Where else can I buy this thing besides our canteen?"
I immediately asked him: "Did you give me any money?"
He replied: "I gave it, but they didn't accept it. This pig blood was also sent by the unit below, saying it was specially picked up from the place where pigs are killed."
In fact, I guess the same is true, but I don’t want people to think that I am taking advantage of the canteen. This is a small thing, but you should also pay attention to it. Now that he has made it clear what happened, there is no need for me to continue to go there more
I asked. I said to him: "Then take some back and let your parents taste this real pig blood."
He said: "No, I will buy some for them if I have the opportunity in the future."
I smiled and said, "If you have it, take some back and divide it into half. That's it."
Then he said: "Okay then. Thank you."
I smiled secretly: Why are you thanking me instead?
Maybe I pay too much attention to such small things, but I know in my heart that when treating the people around me, I should treat the people around me from such details to make them feel warm. When the status of two people is very different, the details are
It can also make subordinates feel grateful from the heart, which is also the basis for cultivating their loyalty.
In fact, Xiao Sui brought a lot of pig blood from the canteen, and I gave him most of it when we got off the bus. I said, "I have a friend coming to my house for dinner tonight, and the two of us can't eat much."
He thanked me again and said to me a little embarrassedly: "Mayor Feng, look, you gave me all the extra money."
I stopped talking to him and asked him to help me carry the dishes into the house. He asked me: "Mayor Feng, do you need me to do anything for you?"
I waved my hand to him and said, "It's okay. You can go back. By the way, wait a minute and bring back some preserved meat from me. The preserved meat from Shangjiang is very good. You can cook it for your father to drink with."
He hurriedly said: "Yes. Didn't you arrange it for us last time? The general office also prepared one for us."
Then I suddenly remembered it, so I let it go.
In fact, I was thinking about the favor that his brother did for me this time, and I always wanted to express it to his parents. Now I suddenly feel that it is not good for me to care too much about this matter. If you care too much about something, it will become deliberate.
, it will make others feel fake.
After Xiao Sui left, I started washing vegetables, and also slowly washed bacon, sausages, etc. with hot water. I am a medical student and I am very careful when doing such things. I am so careful that people who don't know me would think I have mysophobia.
I stewed a pot of radishes with cured pig's feet, and steamed sausages and other cured meats on the pot. When the soup in the pot boiled, I turned down the heat and went to the study to read. I didn't feel bored at all like just waiting for someone.
It feels like, on the contrary, there is always a kind of excitement in my heart.
Lin Yu called me at 5:30 in the afternoon, "I forgot to ask you where you live now."
I also immediately remembered that I had forgotten to tell her about this, so I apologized to her hurriedly, and then told her the specific place.
She smiled and said, "It's a great place. I almost bought a house there."
Then she told me that the driver had taken her home, and she immediately took a taxi. Taxi? I asked her. She smiled and said to me, it was a taxi, and I didn’t want to be so conspicuous.
I thought to myself, it’s really not easy for her, and she has to consider the impact of everything.
After the phone call, I immediately put down the book and went to the kitchen. Everything in the pot was already cooked. I took out the steamed preserved meat and let it cool for a while before cutting it and putting it on a plate.
Then I boiled a pot of water and only added some salt and sesame oil. After the water boiled, I added pig blood to it. Finally, I added vegetables.
When Lin Yu arrived at my house, I had just finished cooking the last dish: Mapo Tofu. All the dishes were on the table, looking very rich and tempting.
"Oh! It's really good. Feng Xiao, it looks like your craftsmanship is not bad." Lin Yu said after entering the room and looking at the dishes on the table. He immediately reached out to pick up a piece of preserved meat and ate it, "Well, it tastes good."
I immediately laughed, "Sister, why don't you wash your hands? These things are not my craft, I just cook them."
She smiled at me and said: "I forgot, you have been a doctor. I'm going to wash my hands and go right away."
She really went to wash her hands. After she came out, I asked her, "Sister, what did you bring me?"
Just now, when she entered the house, she was holding a bag in her hand, and then she casually placed the bag next to the door. I was in a hurry to greet her, so I didn't pay special attention to what it was.
She smiled and said: "I bought you a leather jacket when I went to Beijing not long ago, and I brought it over to you today. You can try it on first and see if it fits you."
I immediately picked up the bag, and after taking a look at it, I immediately felt a little embarrassed, "Sister, this is ARN, a well-known Italian brand. This leather jacket costs at least tens of thousands of yuan."
She smiled and said: "You do recognize it. Money is not important, as long as you dress well."
I immediately took out the clothes inside and put them on. She looked at me carefully and said, "Well, not bad. The clothes of this brand are not fashionable enough, but the style and workmanship are definitely first-class. You don't feel uncomfortable wearing them.
It’s conspicuous. Not bad, it seems like it was specially made for you.”
I said gratefully: "Sister, your gift is too expensive. I haven't bought you a gift this year."
She smiled charmingly at me, "Why are you and sister so polite? Okay, let's eat. I'm hungry."
I hurriedly took off my clothes and put them back into the bag, "Sister, do you want to drink?"
She smiled and said to me: "Drink some red wine. During this time at the grassroots level, I drink every day. When I, the organization director of the provincial party committee, go to the countryside, I still have to drink. There is no way."
I immediately laughed and said, "Sister, at the grassroots level, the best way to connect with each other is to drink. If you don't drink, you won't be able to do it. That would be just going through the motions at work."
She smiled and said: "Yes. So I drank it every day. But this time I went to the countryside, I felt very deeply, as if I had gone back more than 20 years ago. Alas! I got old in the blink of an eye, and the countryside was still the same.
The scenery is the same as before, but not as poor as before."
I went to take out a bottle of red wine, opened it with a corkscrew, and said to her at the same time: "Sister, you must not be so fond of emotion and nostalgia, otherwise you will really grow old. How are you old now? I just met you
You were exactly the same as you are now."
She immediately laughed and said, "You are really good at talking. You specifically pick out the words that my sister likes to hear."
Our wine glasses were both filled with wine, and I raised my glass to her, "Sister, Happy Chinese New Year."
She looked at me and said, "You are happy too."
We clinked glasses and drank together. She suddenly laughed, "Feng Xiao, why do I feel so awkward? It feels like we are acting in a movie."
I thought about the scene just now and couldn't help but laugh, "It looks a bit like it. Come on, eat the vegetables. This pig's blood is the real thing. Try it."
She immediately picked up a piece and ate it, "Well, the taste is indeed different and very fragrant."
I also picked up a piece to eat. It was salty and had a special aroma, just like the pig blood I had eaten when I was a child. When I looked carefully, I found that there were many bee eyes on the cooked pig blood.
Xiao Kong said, "Well, this stuff is really good. It's not easy for people to eat real pig blood now."
She sighed and said, "Yes. All the pig blood from the slaughterhouse is used to make medicine. What everyone eats on weekdays is made from blood meal."
I said: "After the Spring Festival, I am going to take good care of the food safety issues in our Shangjiang City. It will not work if we continue like this."
She shook her head and said: "Don't be anxious, take your time on this matter. We will wait until the 'Two Sessions' in Shangjiang City are over. The only thing you have to do now is not to cause any trouble. During the 'Two Sessions'
Before, you must not bother with anything. From the current situation, what you have done before is enough. Now if you do something in a big way, others will think that you are putting on a show and you will feel that you are very stupid.
It’s fake, and I will feel disgusted with you.”
I suddenly realized, "Sister, you are right."
Then she smiled and asked me, "Didn't you say you had something to ask me? Tell me and I'll listen."
So I briefly told her about the incident, including Chang Bailing's analysis and my subsequent thoughts.
She kept frowning while listening at first. Then, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at me with a strange look, "Feng Xiao, why do I suddenly think this is a good thing?"
